Lin Hao shouted his order, sat down, and went back to watching the Chest-Shaking Dance videos. He soon noticed they all carried a trending hashtag: 'Second-Life Star.' He subconsciously clicked on it and discovered a whole new world.
The videos inside weren't just the Chest-Shaking Dance; there was also a "Chest-Thrusting Dance."
Moreover, the Chest-Thrusting Dance was also surprisingly rhythmic, simple, and highly appealing.
Lin Hao realized these must all be Chen Jincheng's girls. This was another one of his schemes, and crucially, its impact was clearly much stronger than the window-wiping dance.
'Is this guy some kind of genius strategist?'
He'd seen girls show off their chests before. At most, they would flash a bit of cleavage, flirting with the line of vulgarity. But this guy had directly combined it with dance. 'Damn, he's peddling smut under the banner of performance art.'
He loved this scheme.
Without hesitation, he immediately shouted to the people outside, "Get all the girls. We're shooting a new video."
It wasn't just Lin Hao. People online quickly took notice of the Chest-Shaking Dance and the Chest-Thrusting Dance. This was especially true for the pervs who spent their time scrolling for videos of beautiful women; they were the main demographic driving traffic to these videos.
Guo Feng was one of them.
He was currently on a blind date arranged by his family with a very busty girl, the daughter of his father's business partner.
He had a soft spot for well-endowed women.
So when he came across the video of the girl named Yinyin, he froze. 'This dance is incredible.'
"What are you looking at that has you so shocked?" the girl on the blind date across from him asked.
Still in awe, Guo Feng couldn't resist showing her the video. "Can you do this dance?"
"..." When the girl saw the Chest-Shaking Dance in the video, she looked mortified. Her expression instantly soured. "Shameless!"
With that, she grabbed her bag and left.
'And *she's* trying to date?' Guo Feng waved his hand dismissively. If she couldn't even handle that, he wasn't interested in coddling her anyway. 'Of course,' he mused, 'it's also possible she felt the same way and was just looking for an excuse to leave.'
With that thought, he gave Yinyin's video a like.
When he opened the comment section, however, he was stunned by what he read.
'This girl and that Xiaobai girl are both from the Second-Life Star agency... and the agency is run by that guy Cheng?'
Guo Feng wasn't the only one. As the Chest-Shaking and Chest-Thrusting dances went viral, more and more people discovered the Second-Life Star trending hashtag.
Even people unfamiliar with MCNs quickly figured it out: the girls doing the Chest-Shaking and Chest-Thrusting dances were all from the same agency. But that wasn't the crucial part. The crucial part was that the owner of this agency was apparently that Ancestral Master, Chen Jincheng.
'Oh my god, how could it be *him*?'
'Doesn't that put all those girls in a really dangerous position?'
Naturally, other MCN agencies also started paying attention to Second-Life Star.
In the early days of the MCN boom that accompanied Tiao Yin's rise, a huge number of agencies had already established themselves on the platform. However, their methods for developing and cultivating influencers were still very conservative; the trend of mass-producing stars hadn't emerged yet.
Most MCNs still focused on an "elite" model, cultivating a small number of high-potential talents.
Now, Second-Life Star's strategy of filming more than 30 of its influencers at once seemed to have opened their eyes to a whole new world of possibilities.
In just the last two or three days, Second-Life Star had not only propelled Jiang Xiaobai past one million followers, but Lin Qing had also reached 800,000. And then there was Yinyin. Her "Big Pendulum" was simply unstoppable. The video had already gone completely viral, and it looked like she would break a million followers by that night.
On top of that, their other influencers had all gained a fair amount of traffic and followers to varying degrees.
The results of this strategy were simply off the charts.
All at once, MCN agencies began to imitate the Chest-Shaking and Chest-Thrusting dances while simultaneously starting to analyze Second-Life Star's strategy.
And just as the MCNs had predicted, Yinyin's video propelled her past the one-million-follower mark as soon as prime time hit that evening.
「Extreme Bar.」
Chen Jincheng finished reviewing the data Sister Hong had sent over. Thanks to the Chest-Thrusting Dance, Jiang Xiaobai's follower count had reached 1.4 million, but her growth rate had clearly slowed compared to her first two videos.
Lin Qing was at 850,000 followers, failing to break the one million mark.
Yinyin now had 1.06 million followers. As her video continued to circulate, her Chest-Shaking Dance had already garnered 1.98 million likes. It had well and truly blown up and should be able to break the three-million-like barrier.
'So, it's no wonder so many women get breast augmentations. A woman with a nice chest really does have advantages in all aspects of life.'
As for the other girls, their potential was limited. After two campaigns, the most popular one only had 400,000 followers, while most were under 150,000.
'For them to be in the initial batch and only manage to get this many followers after two campaigns... there's really no point in spending more resources to promote them. At least, not with this type of strategy.'
He noted one edgy-looking girl in particular who only had 90,000 followers after both campaigns. Some of the girls from the newer batch had already surpassed her.
Just then, Chen Jincheng got another call from Sister Hong. "Boss, I've signed off on the office renovations. It's time for Second-Life Star to officially move in. You just need to pick a date."
Chen Jincheng thought for a moment. "There's no time like the present. Let's do it tomorrow. The sooner we move in, the sooner we can get the girls started on their streams. We can buy whatever we're missing as we go."
"Got it. So, what are your plans for the opening ceremony, Boss? I can have someone arrange it," Sister Hong asked.
"Just set off a couple strings of firecrackers tomorrow morning. Oh, wait, firecrackers are banned. Then let's just set off some party poppers or something. I can't be bothered with anything else." Chen Jincheng really couldn't be bothered. An opening ceremony was just an excuse to invite friends and family to show off your connections and make yourself look important.
But he had transmigrated into this body. The original owner's parents were already dead, he didn't know any of their friends or relatives, and the original owner himself had no network to speak of.
The only person he could even consider a friend now was Lin Hao, and he'd only met him after he started making videos.
So there was no point in fooling himself by putting on a grand ceremony.
After hanging up, Chen Jincheng had nothing else to do, so he started playing the *Life Simulation Game* in his mind again. His luck was bad today, though. He had completed a bunch of quests, even a stupid one like helping the bar's cleaning lady wash dishes, but unfortunately, he hadn't received a single reward.
Late that night, Chen Jincheng left the bar to head home to sleep. But just as he got into his car, he saw a beautiful figure slip into the passenger seat. Who else could it be but Jiang Xiaobai?
"Skipping your shift?" Chen Jincheng asked.
Jiang Xiaobai explained, "The next set belongs to another DJ. I don't drink with the customers, so I'm allowed to leave early. President Wang said it was okay!"
"Fine, I'll take you home." Chen Jincheng started the car and drove her to Xilin District, where he pulled over.
But after the car had been stopped for a while, he noticed she had no intention of getting out. Instead, her eyes were fixed on him.
"You're getting worked up again, aren't you?" Chen Jincheng guessed the reason.
"No!" Jiang Xiaobai shook her head frantically. "You've signed so many people now, and Yinyin has almost more followers than I do. You created that Chest-Shaking Dance just for her, and you even spent 100,000 on dou+ for her. I'm scared you're going to stop caring about me!"
Chen Jincheng was speechless. 'Yeah, right. She's definitely not worked up,' he thought sarcastically.
He could only say irritably, "Are you an idiot? I built you up to 1.4 million followers. I'm counting on you to make me money from streaming. Why would I possibly abandon you?"
"Really?" Jiang Xiaobai asked.
"Really," Chen Jincheng nodded, then asked in return, "You still don't believe me?"
"I'll believe you if you come to my place tonight." Jiang Xiaobai's eyes were glistening, looking as if they were about to overflow.
A car horn blared behind them, clearly urging him to move. They were blocking a one-way street.
Jiang Xiaobai quickly said, "Please? Parking in the complex is only five yuan an hour. I'll pay for it!"
"Fuck... So I'm that cheap, huh?" Chen Jincheng, exasperated, started the car and drove into the Xilin District. He found a random public parking spot, then irritably unbuckled his seatbelt and got out.
Jiang Xiaobai got out of the car happily, wrapped her arms around his, and pulled him toward one of the apartment buildings.
They took the elevator upstairs and entered her apartment. The moment they were inside, she launched herself at Chen Jincheng like a koala. "I have lots of stockings. You can touch them as much as you want tonight!"
Chen Jincheng slammed the door shut with a BANG, carried her further into the room, and threw her viciously onto the bed.
