Chapter 41: Chapter 40: Fill Up Your Wuling With Gas Chapter 41: Chapter 40: Fill Up Your Wuling With Gas Looking at the dazzling 100,000 yuan withdrawal limit, Tang Song clenched his fist and went straight for the cashout! “Ding——” The text message notification sounded. “[China Merchants Bank]Your account ending in 6800 has received an income of RMB 102,000.00 yuan on April 20th at 18:39.” “Awesome!” Tang Song blurted out, his eyes burning with fervor. He opened his personal information interface. [Player: Tang Song (34′)] [Character: Development Engineer at Jinxiu Commerce] [Height: 181.5CM, Weight: 79.5KG] [Constitution: 59, Endurance: 56, agility: 50, comprehension: 76] [Asset Status:] Balance: 104,100 yuan (Investment: 1 million, debt: 40,000 yuan) Enterprise: None Real Estate: 200 square meter office area in Cloud Stream Building Vehicle: Wuling Hongguang S ... For the first time in his life, the balance in his bank account exceeded 100,000 yuan. Looking at the red debt information, Tang Song didn’t hesitate to pay back the 40,000 yuan he owed on credit and micro loans, the total interest being exactly 100 yuan. Even though his balance dwindled to 63,000 yuan, he felt light and exhilarated without any debts. With the title “popular me” in hand, as long as he operated his accounts on the two platforms well, making money wouldn’t be difficult at all. Thinking this, Tang Song became somewhat restless. He opened his photo album to check out the “Heed Advice and Transform Vlog Season One Summary” video he’d prepared earlier. Although it was called a video, it was essentially a series of pictures strung together. And since he hadn’t put much heart into it at the time, the attractiveness was rather average. This was why, despite the significant effect of his transformation, this total summary video just didn’t take off. After some thought, Tang Song hurried to his computer and opened the video editing software. He imported all the material from his phone to the computer and carefully organized everything in order. He picked out the photos with the best effects to create a few step-by-step transformation comparison images. Using each day as a node, he combined daily weight, diet, and exercise to make his transformation process look smoother. Then, he referenced several popular videos of the same genre for their transition animations, copywriting, and BGM, and borrowed everything that suited him. Busy until 9 PM, a meticulously crafted vlog of an amateur blogger’s transformation was ready. Tang Song watched it several times over and couldn’t help but give it a like. These transitions, these animations, this BGM, truly motivational! Compared to before, he really hadn’t put enough effort into it. Indeed, motivation leads to action. He opened the TikTok APP, imported the finished video materials, and clicked next. [Description: “Life needs the courage to turn oneself from an NPC into the main character!”] [Topics: #fashion, #takeadviceandtransform, #amateurtransformation, #comeback, #inspiration] After checking several times to make sure there were no issues, he clicked post. Tang Song took a deep breath; what was left now was to think about how to make the video even better, ideally taking some time to delve deeper into video editing. Due to system restrictions, he couldn’t use any marketing or promotional tools; the only method was to win through video quality. If he could hit viral success like he did with his hairstyle mishap, the number of new fans he’d acquire could be substantial. He let his mind wander with the thought for a good while. By the time Tang Song came back to reality, it was almost 10 PM. Patting his hot cheeks, he went to the bathroom, washed up, and gradually calmed down. Indeed, he still wasn’t calm enough, getting all worked up over a small title reward. In fact, upon closer consideration, the reward wasn’t even that exaggerated. Purely relying on organic traffic, an amateur blogger without any particular talent found it very difficult to gain followers on any platform. The 1,000 followers on Little Red Book had taken a whole 20 days, and that was because he chose a good niche while also having a hit note with a pot-lid haircut. After thoroughly suppressing his excitement, Tang Song changed into comfortable pajamas and leaned against the headboard to read “Cognitive Nature” for a while. He drifted off to sleep while pondering the content of the book. ... April 21, 2023, Friday, rainy, 6~11°C. The temperature in Yan City had dropped sharply, with dark clouds looming and continuous rain. After getting up, Tang Song climbed the stairs in the corridor for 40 minutes, completing his fasting aerobic exercise for the day. Standing in front of the mirror, dressed in tight sportswear and wearing a mask, he adjusted the angle, lighting, and position multiple times, and recorded a satisfying raw video clip. After a quick shower, he changed into dry and warm clothing, and began preparing his breakfast for the day. Boiled egg + milk + boiled corn + a cucumber. By now, he had integrated self-discipline into his life and started enjoying this healthy lifestyle. His weight had reached a normal level, and with regular outfits, he appeared neither fat nor thin, just a spirited young fellow. However, his muscles weren’t very defined, lacking clear lines, with an estimated body fat percentage of around 20%. There was still much room to improve his physique’s charm value. Following the suggestions of netizens, his next goal was to reduce his body fat percentage to 15%, which is the state of having slight abs. He would look overall more proportional and coordinated. After breakfast, Tang Song opened the system interface to check the details of the title “popular me.” [Current cash reward: 4100 yuan (Total: 106,100 yuan)] Overnight, he had gained only 41 new followers. Checking his phone, he saw an increase of 27 followers on Douyin and 14 on Little Red Book. This was considered normal data, within his expectations. Sitting at his computer, he edited today’s transformation material into a video and uploaded it to both platforms. Tang Song packed his things, grabbed his car keys and umbrella, and went downstairs. “Vvvvrrrrm—” The Wuling Hongguang slowly started moving and gradually disappeared into the misty rain. Since it was still raining, the cars on the road were moving particularly slow. In the car, Tang Song once again appreciated the benefits of owning a vehicle. Watching pedestrians hustling through the rain with umbrellas from the window, he couldn’t help but think of Zhao Yaqian. His beautician friend, Zhao Yaqian, wasn’t doing too well financially and usually took bus 26 to work. However, in such weather, commuting was a hassle. Upon arriving at the company, he watched as the rain outside the window grew heavier. Tang Song once again opened Zhao Yaqian’s chat box. The message was still the one he sent yesterday afternoon: “Do you want to go shopping this weekend? It won’t take up much of your time, just at Yunsheng Square. I’d like to hear your fashion advice to help me pick out some clothes.” This simple invitation had yet to be responded to by Zhao Yaqian. After some thought, Tang Song left a message: “It’s windy and rainy today, be safe on the road.” Not long after sending the message, his phone vibrated. [Zhao Yaqian: Rainbow Umbrella.jpg] [Zhao Yaqian: “Don’t worry, I have a big umbrella for protection, I won’t get wet.”] Receiving a reply from the beautician, and seeing the familiar umbrella, Tang Song couldn’t help but smile. After hesitating for a moment, he sent her a 20-yuan red packet. He continued, “Last time, Teacher Zhao’s umbrella shielded me from wind and rain and escorted me home. This time, I’d like to pay for its cab ride!” [Zhao Yaqian: “No, no, I can’t take this.”] Tang Song: “It’s for the Rainbow Umbrella, the wind is too strong today, I can’t bear to see it suffer.” Zhao Yaqian was silent for a while before accepting the red packet. Sometime later, she shared a DiDi ride receipt, from Sky Garden Community to the entrance of the pedestrian street. [Zhao Yaqian: “I’ve already escorted it onto the car, thank you. When I get my salary, I will fill up your Wuling.”] Reading this message, Tang Song chuckled. It seemed to have become her catchphrase. Since they knew each other, he had heard her say “When I get my salary, I’ll do this and that” at least seven or eight times. Just about to reply to her, two more messages popped up. [Zhao Yaqian: {Red Packet}] [Zhao Yaqian: “I don’t have much money right now, I’ll first give it 20 yuan worth of gas, to thank it for taking me out before.”] Seeing this message, Tang Song pursed his lips, accepting the red packet.
