Chapter 753: Chapter 376: Completely Dumbfounded

’How could her Sword Dance possibly compare to his?’

Still, she was very much looking forward to him making a video for her as a gift.

After all, he was rumored to be amazing at making videos, and every video he filmed supposedly went viral.

Of course, some people online said he wasn’t as godly as the rumors claimed—it was just survivorship bias. People only saw the ones that went viral, but who knew how many failures there were? Still, now she had a chance to see for herself.

At that moment, the livestream audience was also staring at Xiao Yucui in surprise.

No one had expected there to be a final girl to close out the show.

And what’s more, this girl wasn’t any of the previous Miss Chengs.

’Is this the Miss Xin Cheng?’

’Why else would she be saved for the grand finale?’

"This girl didn’t seem that stunning at first glance, but she really grows on you!"

"Yeah, after watching for a bit, I think she’s really great."

"..."

While the livestream audience was chatting, Hu Xiaoyu had already walked in front of the camera and drawn her longsword in a single motion.

The clean, decisive movement surprised everyone in the stream.

’That move alone was amazing.’

Next, Hu Xiaoyu took her stance and began her Sword Dance for the camera. Truly, a girl performing a Sword Dance in Hanfu, as long as it’s done well, is an absolutely delightful sight.

The way the longsword guided her flowing sleeves and skirt was especially pleasing to the eye.

Chen Jincheng couldn’t help but nod.

’This girl’s Sword Dance is beautiful. She has real skill.’

The livestream audience was also quickly amazed.

Everyone can appreciate beautiful things, and it seemed they all understood why Chen Jincheng had said this girl’s Sword Dance wouldn’t be inferior to his.

Technically, she certainly couldn’t compare to Chen Jincheng, nor did she have his dashing, sharp style of swordsmanship.

But her Sword Dance excelled in its softness and delicate beauty, representing two opposite extremes.

Of course, the technical gap was only in comparison to Chen Jincheng. When compared to the female internet celebrities of today, she absolutely crushed them by several levels. There were very few female internet celebrities with real skills on the entire internet anymore.

Amidst the approval of the livestream audience, Hu Xiaoyu finished her Sword Dance with a final stroke.

Chen Jincheng smiled and clapped. At the same time, he found a piece of traditional-style music, edited the video he had just filmed for her, and set the music to it.

He added her on WeChat and sent it over, saying, "Upload this video to your account."

At the same time, he also used an Internet Celebrity Debut Card on her.

He still had over thirty of these cards. Daily tasks would trigger a chance to receive them as a reward from time to time.

Since he wasn’t specifically seeking out the internet celebrities from his past life to use them on, he had more than he could ever use.

In his past life, Xiao Yucui had become famous too late and completely missed the window of opportunity. As a result, she didn’t have any videos with particularly outstanding stats, except for one Sword Dance video with close to a million likes.

’That’s enough.’

An Internet Celebrity Debut Card could grant her first two videos the same popularity they had in his past life. This Sword Dance video with nearly a million likes counted as one of them.

Of course, that was just the baseline.

She just performed her Sword Dance in front of five million people and won their approval. Those viewers weren’t just for show. A lot of them will go and give her a like, which will help her in the traffic pool competition. Getting another two million likes shouldn’t be a problem.

Then there’s the current popularity of Jinglan City, plus the hype from him, Chen Jincheng, personally filming a video for her. That’s going to generate a huge amount of attention.

Adding all these various sources of popularity together, getting this video over five million likes won’t be an issue.

Hearing his instructions, Hu Xiaoyu obediently did as she was told and uploaded the video.

At that instant, Chen Jincheng also received a game system notification: The Internet Celebrity Debut Card had taken effect, and the popularity boost was being distributed.

As Chen Jincheng went back to the camera to chat with the audience for a bit before ending the stream, Yinyin, who had been waiting at the side, immediately came up and hugged his arm. Her eyes were watery as she looked at him, as if reminding him that he had promised to go to her place tonight and couldn’t stand her up. ’Don’t let your head be turned just because you saw a new girl.’

Chen Jincheng understood the meaning behind her gaze and was a little speechless. ’Am I that kind of person?’

However, looking at the Big Pendulum that couldn’t be hidden under Yinyin’s Hanfu, he did feel a little eager to get started.

’This is the first time I’ll get to play with Yinyin while she’s in such a dignified Hanfu.’

"Master Hu, I have something to attend to, so I’ll be taking my leave now," Chen Jincheng said to Hu Xiaoyue with a smile before leaving with Yinyin.

After Chen Jincheng left, Hu Xiaoyu couldn’t wait to check the video she had just posted. She gasped in amazement, "Ah, this is incredible!"

"What is it?" Hu Xiaoyue asked, looking at his granddaughter in confusion.

Hu Xiaoyu said, her face filled with shock, "The video already has over 20,000 likes and 250,000 views! That means 250,000 people have already seen it. He’s really as amazing as the rumors say!"

"250,000 views in just a few minutes?" Hu Xiaoyue was also stunned.

Their National Martial Arts Association had spent a great deal of effort promoting various national martial arts, even holding numerous related competitions, yet a single competition never drew this many viewers.

He immediately said to his granddaughter, "Xiaoyu, you must stick by his side and learn from him. Do whatever he tells you to do!"

"But he seems like a womanizer. If... what if..." Hu Xiaoyu muttered.

Her words made Hu Xiaoyue pause. After a moment, he said, "That’s your business."

"..." Hu Xiaoyu was speechless.

...

Chen Jincheng first took Yinyin to a lounge in the main hall to rest.

"Boss, it’s a little hot in here," Yinyin said during a break. She suddenly pulled down the white gauze of her dress, revealing her fair shoulders.
