Chapter 240 Popularity Value, Regularized! (Seeking monthly tickets, and recommendation tickets!)
Now that the Longing Courtyard has a B&B housekeeper to take care of it, Lin Fan has a lot of free time. He no longer has to receive guests and check them in himself. Only then does Lin Fan begin to enjoy the wonderful life of a freelance creator.
In the early morning, sleep until you wake up naturally, and then greet the arrival of the new day with the most energetic attitude, run on the seaside road against the morning light, smile and nod to those passers-by who are familiar or unfamiliar, and then pass by each other, enjoying the refreshing sea breeze in the morning and the joy of exercise.
Returning to the longed-for yard, I continued my daily exercise, such as training my voice, practicing musical instruments, reading, carving, painting, and dancing. I also enjoyed three meals a day cooked by myself, and sat outside the infinity pool, watching the sunset blending with the sea...
Bah! Something seems wrong! Lin Fan sadly discovered that he didn't know when the various compulsory exercises imposed on him by the system had become his own habits. He would unconsciously complete these basic training and accumulation on time and with quality and quantity without the system being activated.
And treat it as enjoyment.
This is a bit too scary!
But then again, it seems like I haven't paid attention to the system and the popularity value for a long time. Since Lin Fan deeply explored the correct way to use the magical skill [Photographic Memory], his dependence on and attention to the system has plummeted. If it weren't for the existence of negative popularity values, which constantly reminded Lin Fan to work hard to accumulate popularity points, otherwise he would be repaid by the system with RMB, Lin Fan would really forget the existence of the system.
I don’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
But now, let’s take a look at the popularity value in the system first. After all, the first episode of "The Voice of China" has been launched, and it should be able to bring a certain increase in popularity.
"System, check the popularity value!"
[Current popularity value: -1, total popularity value 5459321]
Is the Tianlai program so powerful? Lin Fan couldn't believe his eyes. After only one episode of Tianlai, it actually brought him a popularity increase of more than 700,000! However, this may also be related to the events of "Shame", debut, and being hacked. After all, Lin Fan has been very popular recently, and even the hot searches are afraid of him!
Well, although he was only one popularity point away from turning a loss into a profit, Lin Fan was not obsessive-compulsive, but he felt that the number -1 was very comfortable. Of course, it would be even more comfortable if he could get +1, as it meant that his debt in the system had been completely cleared!
The system seemed to have heard Lin Fan's thoughts, and the popularity value suddenly moved.
[Current popularity value: 0, total popularity value 5459322]
Oh shit!
Lin Fan almost blurted it out. After all, watching his debts being cleared, the joy and excitement he felt was indescribable, and could only be condensed in this classic two-word phrase.
Lin Fan looked at the number "0" displayed on the popularity value, and had the urge to put his hands on his hips and laugh out loud, but reason made Lin Fan calm down quickly, because given the nature of the system, there would usually be some unexpected problems at this time.
Sure enough, the system did not disappoint Lin Fan.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for paying off the owed popularity points before the countdown ends! ]
[Ding! Host, you have a main quest, please check it in time! ]
[Ding! In view of the host's excellent popularity repayment ability, the second phase of the main task is now released: Get 10 million popularity points and reward 10 million RMB! Young man, you are only a little bit away from the stage goal, you still have to work hard, maybe you will complete it? ]
[Current popularity value: 0, total popularity value 5459322]
Main quest!
This was the second time that Lin Fan had received a mainline mission from the system since he had bound himself to the system! And this mission was just as simple and crude as the first mainline mission, which was to gain popularity points, and the rewards were the same. It seemed that this system was designed from the beginning to motivate himself to work hard to gain popularity points.
No, it should be said that it is to motivate oneself to gain the love of fans, because popularity will be generated only with the love of fans and the support of actual actions.
The various strange skills drawn from the system lottery, in the final analysis, also make you a more popular person who is more worthy of fans' love and support.
Becoming a star is not the only way to gain popularity. After all, painters, novelists, musicians, etc. can also gain popularity, but becoming a star is definitely the fastest way.
Lin Fan suddenly discovered something that he had always overlooked, that is, in addition to songs, it seemed that, perhaps, he could also gain popularity from other places.
Moreover, now that he already has more than 5 million popularity points, this main task can be said to be half completed. The remaining half, if he can take multiple approaches, it doesn't seem too difficult to complete? At least not as difficult as completing the task of one million popularity points in "Morning Star".
But where should we start?
Besides, do I really need to work so hard? Or should I just be a bit of a layman? Since my popularity has already turned positive, why should I make myself work so hard?
Lin Fan was seriously thinking about the possibility of being a salted fish when his cell phone rang. He looked down and saw that it was Li Xiaodong!
This guy had offered to give him money last time, wanting to help him solve the landlord problem. Lin Fan had always kept this in mind, and when he saw Li Xiaodong's call, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Hello, Brother Fan! Are you on Huahai Island?" Li Xiaodong's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Yes, I just got back. What's wrong?"
"Oh, that's perfect. Brother Lu and I are going to Huahai Island to record a show tomorrow. Are you free tonight? We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's get together!"
Li Xiaodong and Lu Bingyang are coming to Huahai Island tomorrow? These two people are his few friends, and Lin Fan is looking forward to it: "If the sponsor calls, of course I'm free! When are you coming?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"It will probably be evening when the show is finished. I'll contact you then."
Lai Siu-tung is not sure about the time. When recording variety shows, especially outdoor variety shows, the time is always very uncertain and the recording often goes on until late at night.
Lin Fan readily agreed: "Okay, I'm fine all day, call me when you're almost done!"
"Okay, Brother Fan, see you tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow!"
Lin Fan had just hung up the phone when Zhang Yan called: "Director Zhang..."
"Teacher Lin, you sound very happy. Have you finished the new song?"
Zhang Yan clearly heard the smile in Lin Fan's voice, "When is it convenient for us to record your creative process?"
Lin Fan was filled with joy at the prospect of reuniting with his friend, but Zhang Yan's words immediately dispelled his joy. He quickly coughed, adjusted his tone, and hid his feelings well: "Ahem, no, Director Zhang, you heard it wrong."
"Did you hear it wrong?" Zhang Yan was puzzled. This shouldn't be the case. Lin Fan really smiled when he answered the phone just now.
Lin Fan said seriously, "Yes, I have no idea how to create a new song now. I even regret choosing this theme because the last song drained all my inspiration. I am now very worried about how to write this song.
Well, I'm afraid I have no idea these days. I need a quiet creative environment. When I have an idea, I will call you."
Zhang Yan quickly said, "Okay, okay, creation is more important. I'm waiting for good news from Teacher Lin."
Lin Fan hung up the phone with satisfaction, not feeling guilty at all.
