What do you mean I'm a ghost story?

Chapter 20 Dissatisfaction with Desire
"Or maybe he saw me boxing yesterday, got scared, and is trying to be friendly with me?"

Xia Qing was puzzled, but she didn't hesitate and directly showed her QR code.

Without saying a word, the bald boss scanned the code and paid 1,500 yuan.

However, he was not happy at all after receiving the money.

It wasn't because of the bald boss's unusual behavior.

However, after receiving the money, the Money Dart Technique remained completely still.

I even checked the attribute panel, and the progress bar was completely unchanged, only increasing by a symbolic one percent.

"Human nature is indeed inherently greedy."

After a moment's thought, Xia Qing immediately understood the reason.

Humans are never satisfied.

Once or twice is a pleasant surprise, but three or four times it becomes taken for granted.

1,500 yuan used to be almost half a month's salary.

The first two times, I earned 1,600 yuan each time, and yesterday I earned 6,000 yuan in one go.

Looking at the 1,500 now, let alone the Money Dart Technique, even he himself felt no excitement whatsoever, only a sense of indifference.

Personalized martial arts are also 'human'.

And satisfying their needs and preferences is itself a way of satisfying desires.

Looking at that thousand-plus yuan now, it's clear there's not much improvement.

"It's better than nothing. At least I can use the maximum power of 'Spend Money' one more time."

After calming herself down, Xia Qing continued walking towards the fitness park.

But after taking only a few steps, he was stopped by a somewhat excited young man:

"Ring toss guy? You're ring toss guy, right? I live nearby and came specifically to see you, I never thought I'd actually run into you!"

"...What the heck is this 'Ring Toss Guy'?"

Xia Qing's face darkened.

Yesterday, at least those people called me a 'master'.

How did it become such a nickname here?

"You didn't know? Didn't you guys collaborate with that bald boss on those video clips? You guys became famous."

The young man remained excited and even took out his phone to show Xia Qing a video from a short video platform.

The video above is of yesterday's lap match with Chen Nuonuo, and judging from the angle, it was probably taken with the bald boss's phone, which he had left on his stall.

Now Xia Qing understood why the bald man had suddenly become so enthusiastic, even after she had swept his stall clean once again.

The video has at least a million views.

1,500 yuan can buy you a viral video with millions of views. Even if you only do it once or twice, it's enough to successfully build an account by leveraging this wave of traffic.

I can shoot some everyday videos and sell some products; at the very least, it can be a side job.

"It wasn't a collaborative video shoot; we just happened to be there having fun and got filmed."

Xia Qing frowned slightly: "This boss is not a good person. Don't be easily deceived."

The bald man's character has become clear in the past two days.

If someone can renege on their debts at a ring toss stall, what moral bottom line can you expect from them?

He might not care if others were fooled or deceived, but he can't ignore it when someone uses his name.

"So yesterday's scene wasn't staged, but real? Are you really as amazing as you see in the video?"

The young passerby ignored the warning, but his eyes lit up even more upon hearing this: "Hey ring toss guy, do you have your own account? I'll follow you."

"No, I don't play those games."

Xia Qing shook her head.

I used to work overtime every day until I was exhausted. I could read novels and watch short videos in my spare time, but I obviously didn't have the energy to do these things myself.

However, the young man on the street reminded him.

Although I'm not particularly interested in this area, the internet does seem to be a very effective way to monetize.

At least it's better than someone else making money and traffic. Especially someone like the bald guy, who knows when he might take the opportunity to promote some shady, substandard product or do some disgusting marketing that sells anxiety.

If you have some free time, you can try shooting a couple of videos for fun.

However, this is clearly a path that requires long-term operation, and it's not easy to create a profitable account.

Sometimes it also depends on luck; whether it will succeed is unknown.

It's not uncommon online for reposts to go viral while the original author remains unknown.

Even if it becomes popular and you can make money immediately, it will still take a month to actually receive the money.

Far water cannot quench near thirst.

The most urgent task now is...

As the young man turned away in disappointment and continued walking, Xia Qing walked to a camphor tree and slowly plucked a leaf from it.

call out!
The light, fluttering leaves, with a flick of the wrist, fly away like sharp blades.

Xia Qing hadn't walked more than a few steps; he wasn't far from the bald shop owner who was packing up his stall.

The leaf passed right by the bald man's eyes in an instant.

He felt a blur before his eyes, followed by a slight stinging and moist sensation in his eyelids.

Reaching out and touching it, all I saw was a crimson red.

He quickly and subconsciously looked in the direction where the object had just flown out.

Xia Qing was holding her phone in one hand and waving it in their direction.

"Understood, understood, I'll delete it right away, I'll delete it right away."

The bald man shuddered, immediately realizing what had happened. He hurriedly took out his phone and deleted the video completely, not forgetting to show it to Xia Qing at the end.

When dealing with this kind of person, physics is always more effective than reason.

Seeing that the bald man had deleted the video, Xia Qing didn't say anything more and turned to continue walking towards the fitness park.

The young passerby who happened to be near the bald boss witnessed this scene and stood there stunned for a while before he figured out what was going on.

Holy crap! Is it really that awesome?

A single "Holy crap!" is worth a thousand words.

Unfortunately, by the time he realized what was happening and tried to chase after her, Xia Qing had already disappeared.

……

"The most deadly form of showing off is the subtle kind. Your performance has amazed the Tai Chi Chuan Master, who exclaimed that this kid's ability to manifest divine power is no less than his own. After watching him, they even seemed to gain some insights and exclaimed: 'Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me.'"

"...Would you believe me if I said I just wanted to warn that bald guy?"

Xia Qing was both amused and exasperated by the sudden notification.

If it's dark in the east, it's bright in the west.

Unexpectedly, the Money Dart Technique didn't improve, but the Tai Chi Technique did.

Looking at the attribute panel, there's quite a bit of progress; it's already at 50%.

But he really hadn't thought that much about it.

I just didn't want someone as tasteless as the bald guy to tarnish my reputation by using his name, so I just gave him a casual warning.

It's impossible to reason with this kind of person; only physics is the most efficient way, and using leaves won't cause any trouble.

After all, you can't exactly say that you were injured by someone hitting you with a leaf, can you?

Sure enough, people who love to show off see everything as showing off.

It's the same kind of thing as the Money Dart Technique; both are based on overthinking.

However, this was an unexpected bonus.

I was thinking about how to find a suitable opportunity to improve my Tai Chi, but now I haven't even had to think about it, and I've unintentionally progressed by half.

Furthermore, it has been confirmed that my previous guess was indeed correct.

Tai Chi Chuan is actually a show-off who likes to flaunt his skills in front of others.

There will be a clear path to follow if you want to upgrade in the future.
