Crazy Entertainment System

"I recommend buying novels, because novels can help you gain more fans. You should know that there are a lot of fans in the novel world," Xiaoyou said.

Chen Yu knew what online novels were like; he simply enjoyed reading them. However, the later novels lacked originality and relied on old tropes like monster-fighting and leveling up. It was difficult to find anything new or innovative, and eventually, Chen Yu lost the passion to continue reading.

More importantly, most of the online novels he reads are pirated. Sometimes, when he enjoys a particular novel, he saves up a few yuan to tip the author.

There was no other way; even basic necessities like food and clothing were a problem, let alone spending money on books.

"Okay, please redeem 'Swallowing the Starry Sky' for me!" Chen Yu chose Tomato's "Swallowing the Starry Sky". Of course, he could also choose something like "Zhu Xian", but he felt that he should choose "Swallowing the Starry Sky" first, since it was the first time it appeared in the lottery, there must be a reason for it.

"Okay, you need 24,000 fan points to redeem 'Swallowed Starry Sky.' It's already on your computer. Also, there will be a surprise when your fan points reach 100,000!" Xiao You said with a smile. Chen Yu's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this, and he asked curiously, "Xiao You, can you give me a hint?"

Xiaoyou shook her head bluntly and said, "No, revealing it wouldn't be a surprise."

"Are you sure it's a surprise and not a shock?!" Chen Yu was still a little scared of this unreliable system and asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, it'll be a pleasant surprise!" Xiaoyou assured, patting her small chest.

"I'd be a fool to believe you!" Chen Yu thought to himself.

After chatting with Xiaoyou for a while, Chen Yu turned on his computer and found "Swallowing the Starry Sky" on his desktop. Although this novel was not as famous as "Zhu Xian", it was still a very good read for Chen Yu.

It's also one of his favorites because it has a lot of science fiction elements.

"Chen Yu, how about we optimize this novel? Fix the bugs in it?" Xiao You tempted.

"You mean you want to adapt this book so that it can withstand scientific scrutiny?!" Chen Yu was taken aback, then asked.

"You're overthinking it. If it were really adapted like that, this book wouldn't be a novel, but a history of scientific evolution and metaphysical cultivation!" Xiao You rolled her eyes and said irritably.

"I knew it! What do you mean by 'optimization'?! You're not just fixing typos or something, are you?!"

"No, it's just about filling in some gaps and deleting some unsatisfactory parts. Making this book as perfect as possible," Xiaoyou said after thinking for a moment.

"That's fine, but how many fan points do I need?!" Chen Yu's biggest concern was the "money" issue; that was the key.

"Fifty thousand?! Although you only have six thousand now, it doesn't matter. Can we do an initial 10% repair? After the repair, 'Swallowed Star' will reach over 12 million words, which is more than double the previous amount," Xiao You said.

"1200 million+ words? You're not kidding, are you?" Chen Yu vaguely remembered that this book was only a little over four million words, and it was almost five million words.

Adding over 700 million at once? That's outrageous! Is this supposed to be an optimization? This is practically an expansion!

"You can rest assured, the quality is absolutely guaranteed. If it's not good, I'll compensate you three times the amount!" Xiaoyou patted her slightly bulging chest and made a solemn promise.

"So you're trying to squeeze every last drop of my fan value out of me?!" Chen Yu exclaimed, suddenly realizing what was going on.

"No, absolutely not. It's up to you. If you don't want to exchange it, it doesn't matter to me. It won't cost me anything. It's up to you!" Xiao You quickly shook her head and denied it.

"I'd be a fool to believe you. But I'll optimize it, though. I need to check it out first. If it's not as good as before, you have to give me a refund!" Chen Yu said after thinking for a moment.

"No problem, you can return the goods and get a refund anytime, anywhere within three months if there are any issues," Xiaoyou readily agreed.

The next moment, the game "Swallowing the Stars" on the computer had grown to more than twice its original size.

Chen Yu opened it and started to look at it. He would check the goods first, and if he didn't like them, he would return them directly.

After opening it, Chen Yu found that the plot was more compact and detailed, the language was more gorgeous and exquisite, and there were no typos or anything like that.

It's a very comfortable read, in no way inferior to literary novels.

"It seems the optimization went quite well!" Chen Yu was fairly satisfied with the optimization.

The phone rang again. Chen Yu glanced at it and saw it was Wang Yali calling.

"Want to have lunch together?" Chen Yu glanced at the time; it was already around 11:20 a.m., and agreed.

"What do you want to eat?!" Chen Yu quickly washed up and waited at the entrance of the girls' dormitory.

"How about braised chicken?!" Wang Yali asked softly.

"Don't you not like spicy food?!" Chen Yu asked, taken aback. Wang Yali had always declined the offer to eat spicy food the previous times.

"Is that because she's on her period?" Wang Yali said, giving Chen Yu a slightly embarrassed look.

"Oh my god~" Chen Yu suddenly understood. It turned out that this person wasn't really unable to eat spicy food, but rather that she was on her period and couldn't eat spicy food.

"Let's go, it's on me!" Chen Yu said with a smile.

"What, are you going to keep me as a sugar daddy?" Wang Yali laughed.

"That's right, I'm going to fatten you up so you're unwanted by anyone else, then you'll belong to me," Chen Yu said with a smile.

"Dead look!"

The two arrived at the cafeteria, which was already quite crowded. Last night's party hadn't affected today's schedule; classes continued as usual, and people continued to rest as needed.

Fortunately, neither of them had classes this morning.

I queued up, swiped my card, and ordered two servings of braised chicken with mushrooms and rice, with enoki mushrooms and bean flour added.

Both are mildly spicy.

"What are you planning to do next?!" Wang Yali asked after the two found a place to sit down.

"I don't have any plans yet, but for now, I'll show my face if I have the chance. I'll find some time to go to the recording studio and record a few of the songs I have on hand."

"Do you know of any recording studios around here that offer good value for money?" Chen Yu asked.

This is all money! A song costs two dollars in this world. The revenue is split according to the number of downloads: 50/50 for downloads under 100,000; **** for downloads between 100,000 and 500,000; 70/30 for downloads between 500,000 and 2 million; and 80/20 for downloads over 2 million.

These are the established pricing rules for this world. Of course, the highest price is two yuan, and the lowest is one yuan. Users can set their own prices.

Once you download a song (for a fee), you can download it for free forever.

If the quality is poor, no fee will be charged. At the very least, Chen Yu's song "Ten Yuan RMB" is not qualified to be uploaded and charged for.
