Chapter 633: Chapter 324: Sword Saint? A Specialist in Showing Off with a Sword

It felt as if every step was floating, finding no purchase.

Her legs were just that weak.

"Chen Jincheng, are you made of steel?" Sister Hehe’s voice was tinged with flirtation. Who could possibly imagine the kind of tempest she had just endured.

But the aftermath of the tempest only made her desire it more.

No wonder he could "go over scripts" for so long without any restraint.

No wonder all those other girls were so shameless, clinging to him constantly.

After being ravaged by a storm like that, who cared about saving face? Pleasure was what mattered most.

"What are you talking about?" Chen Jincheng gave her a baffled look, which left Sister Hehe speechless. "What’s with the act? Did you forget everything the moment we stepped out of the room?"

"I have no idea what you’re talking about." Chen Jincheng maintained his clueless expression. ’Since she’s so eager to jump into this, she’ll get the same treatment as all the others.’

’She shouldn’t expect special treatment just for being my top donor.’

’Once we’re out of the room, we don’t talk about what happened inside. Everything must be buried away as a memory.’

However, he had gone all out last night to make her beg for mercy. Since he hadn’t used any Constitution Points to recover, his own legs felt a little weak too.

"Fine, Chen Jincheng, you win!" Sister Hehe was at a loss for words. ’It’s just like he said, isn’t it? Deny everything once you leave the room.’

No matter.

She didn’t mind. Instead, she said decisively, "I’m a woman of my word. Begging for mercy is nothing to be ashamed of. From now on, whenever you want to take your girls out, just let me know. I’ll personally make sure everything is arranged perfectly for you."

"What are you rambling on about? I don’t understand a single word you’re saying," Chen Jincheng maintained his stance.

Sister Hehe shot him an exasperated glare. "You don’t understand, is that it? Fine. Let’s talk about something you *will* understand. Why don’t you tell me who my ’good sisters’ are? I’ll drop by their streams and give them some gifts to say hello."

"I’m already giving you plenty of face, being magnanimous and open-minded, wouldn’t you say? If you still don’t treat me better after all this, then you’re just a heartless bastard, Chen Jincheng."

Hearing this, Chen Jincheng finally responded directly. "In that case, you might as well give gifts to every single Miss Cheng."

’If she’s handing out benefits, no one should be left behind.’

Sister Hehe’s eyes flew wide in horror when she heard him. She exploded with the loudest possible comeback: "Chen Jincheng, you’re an absolute beast!"

"Enough nonsense," Chen Jincheng snorted. "I’m heading back today. You’re on your own after that."

"I’m going to stay in Beijing for a few more days," Sister Hehe said at once. "And let me tell you something, Chen Jincheng. I originally came to Beijing to see my friends. The only reason I came looking for you was because I saw you on the news here. You’d better remember that no other fan treats you as well as I do."

Chen Jincheng couldn’t deny her words.

’Judged by the standards of a fan, someone like Sister Hehe is perfect. She’s beautiful, has a great figure, gives you money, and even sleeps with you...’

’Where else could you find a fan like that?’

Since they had tickets booked, that afternoon Chen Jincheng arrived at the airport wearing a face mask. On his left and right, with an arm around each, were Zhang Ao’ai and Li Muchen, who were similarly disguised with face masks and baseball caps.

Though their faces were hidden, the two women were stylishly dressed and had stunning figures. The sight of him with his arms around them drew more than a few stares.

Once on the plane, Chen Jincheng began playing the *Life Management* game in his mind, accepting quests.

It was a long flight, so this was his only way to kill time.

With no golden exclamation point quests available, Chen Jincheng didn’t expect any significant rewards. The best he could hope for was another Internet Celebrity Debut Card.

This time, however, an unexpected surprise popped up mid-flight. Just as they were approaching Coastal City, a golden exclamation point quest appeared in his mind.

"A martial arts performer is looking for a career change. His only skill is the longsword, and he’s not sure if he can make it as an influencer. Please help him become a sword-based martial arts influencer!"

A quest like this was quite a surprise. He accepted it and saw it was a quest chain. It involved taking this martial arts performer through his company’s various departments, culminating in the successful production of a viral video to complete the mission.

When he accepted the quest, Chen Jincheng also received a notification from the game system:

[Congratulations! You have received a special Martial Arts Skill Category (Sword) Heat Card. Upon using this Heat Card, you will gain Sword Affinity, making it easier to learn all kinds of martial arts sword techniques. Additionally, when you film videos of sword techniques from your past life, they will receive an equivalent popularity boost.]

Chen Jincheng was stunned to see this Heat Card.

He’d never received a card like this before.

If not for the "Martial Arts" tag, he’d be thinking he should learn something like the Nine Swords of Dugu and become a true martial arts master.

However, the card’s description implied it only worked for performance-style sword techniques. It didn’t seem particularly useful, since he had no intention of becoming a stuntman. But on second thought... ’this seems like a great skill for showing off.’

Whether it was Zhan Zhao’s sword flourishes or Jiao Enjun’s sword-spinning, those were top-tier ways to look cool. Male leads in dramas these days couldn’t even manage a simple sword flourish and had to rely on special effects, making it painfully awkward for the audience.

’With this card and its Affinity, learning all this will be a piece of cake. Once I master all those slick, handsome sword skills, you can all call me Lord Sword Saint.’

The part about getting the same popularity as his past life for filming sword-skill videos was especially amazing.

In his previous life, Tiao Yin had plenty of martial arts content creators. They all posted videos related to martial arts, and some had even become major influencers with over ten million fans.

These creators made up the "Tiao Yin Martial Arts" scene. Some had genuine talent, while others were just clowns pandering to the audience, like that Piaoxiang Yuan guy who was constantly online calling him out, vowing to only fight Chen Jincheng.

Seriously. In his past life, some martial arts monk had been the target of this guy’s toxic clout-chasing. He never thought he’d be the target in this life.

By constantly vowing online to fight only him, the guy had already leeched his way to over a million followers. Now, it seemed like every martial arts blogger was calling out Chen Jincheng. The challengers were countless, and some had even resorted to personal attacks.

Among those kinds of martial arts videos, many featuring sword skills had also gone viral. They were so popular, recommended site-wide, that even he—who had only paid attention to girls with long legs in his past life—had seen them. Take, for instance, the famous costume-change sword-kick video, which had nearly 17 million likes.

In his past life, very few videos on the entire internet achieved numbers like that.

’Now that’s a top-tier way to show off.’

Suddenly, his eyes lit up. The Hanfu event he was collaborating on with Coastal City needed promotion. He would kick things off by shooting a Hanfu video.

His original plan was to shoot Hanfu videos starring Xiaoju and the other girls, then leverage Jinglan City’s popularity to promote the event.

With Tiao Yin helping to push traffic, it would be simple.

But now, it looked like he could change his strategy. First, he’d make a big splash himself, and then use that to introduce the girls’ National Style Hanfu series.

For example, at the end of his costume-change sword-kick video, the character he’s playing could brush past two stunning women dressed in National Style Hanfu, a sword slung over his shoulder. A few steps later, they all turn simultaneously, their eyes meet... Doesn’t that just scream ’romance is in the air’?

As the plan formed in his mind, his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

He used the Heat Card without a moment’s hesitation.

[Congratulations! You have used the special Martial Arts Skill Category (Sword) Heat Card. You have gained Sword Affinity, allowing you to more easily learn various martial arts sword skills. Additionally, when filming identical sword-skill videos, you can obtain the same popularity boost from your past life.]

After getting off the plane, Chen Jincheng went straight back to his villa and started browsing online. First things first, he needed to order a longsword. There were several good influencers who specialized in crafting them.

An account called Longquan Divine Sword Pavilion caught his eye; their selection of swords was right up his alley.

He saw that Longquan Divine Sword Pavilion was live at that very moment, so he clicked into the stream. There were over 3,000 viewers, proving that there was still a decent audience for swords. Even if they couldn’t be sharpened and were only for display, plenty of people were willing to buy them.

Just then, a female host dressed in historical costume was holding up a sword and describing it, glancing at the stream chat as she spoke. Suddenly, a notification for a new arrival in the stream caught her eye.

It was a verified "Big V" account, which came with a special alert.

The name "Chen Jincheng" was impossible to miss, and she froze, thinking she must be seeing things. She even forgot to continue her presentation of the sword in her hand.

It wasn’t just her. In the back office of Longquan Divine Sword Pavilion, the employee monitoring the stream data saw the new account and shot up from their chair in shock.

Chen Jincheng!

They subconsciously clicked on the profile. It really was him—the number one star on Tiao Yin.

’Holy shit, that guy actually came to our stream!’

’Did good fortune just smile upon us?’
