My System Forces Me to Live off Women

Chapter 544: Chapter 347: Startup Mentor

The old year’s bell rings in the new year, firecrackers crackle, adding another year.

On the night of New Year’s Eve, nearly every household in Dong is watching the Spring Festival Gala while having their reunion dinner, and He Yimeng, far away in Harbin, is no exception.

As soon as Li Peifeng connected the video call, he heard the mixed sounds of the Spring Festival Gala skits, people’s conversations, and glasses clinking from the other side. After a brief delay, the screen showed He Yimeng’s smiling face.

"What are you doing?"

Li Peifeng pursed his lips and said, "Making dumplings, have you guys started eating?"

"We just started, let me show you."

He Yimeng switched to the rear camera, showing a large table full of dishes, and at least five guests, probably He Yimeng’s family.

Someone noticed Li Peifeng on the screen and exclaimed, "Oh, Xiaomeng has a boyfriend!"

"He’s quite handsome, who is this..."

"Just an ordinary friend... you guys eat first."

He Yimeng explained hastily, getting up from the dining table.

"It’s quite lively."

"Not bad."

With just a few words, He Yimeng seemed to have entered her room: "I just saw your WeChat moment,

Why are you fishing during the Lunar New Year? Can’t you take a break?"

"I wasn’t in a good mood at that time."

While replying, Li Peifeng switched to his phone’s background and deleted the WeChat moment that said ’In the end, I took on everything alone.’

He Yimeng understood: "Broke up? How many did you break up with?"

Li Peifeng was momentarily speechless: "...Can’t you wish me some good fortune?"

"Didn’t break up? Not even one?"

"No!"

He Yimeng clicked her tongue, almost displaying the word ’disappointed’ on her face, and then said, "Tomorrow is your birthday, right? Is there anyone to celebrate with you?"

Li Peifeng sighed heavily: "That’s precisely why I’m in a bad mood, can’t you avoid such topics. It’s the New Year, and also my birthday, what bad luck... Do you have anything else?"

"Nothing major, just saw that WeChat moment of yours, thought you broke up with them on New Year’s Eve, so I called to ask, and to wish you a Happy New Year."

He Yimeng did not hide her intention of taking advantage of the situation. Li Peifeng only felt the pressure from a beauty’s kindness, gently advising: "Our relationship is quite good now, just some minor issues occasionally, but they can be overcome."

He Yimeng frowned, thinking, you scumbag, so confident in having multiple partners? How can they tolerate it? When will it be my chance, I want to rise up...

"Hello? Mengmeng?"

He Yimeng was silent for two seconds, then changed the topic: "When do you plan to launch ’Sword and Magic’?"

"You’ve been reading it too?"

"I’m following it daily, this book is indeed good, it’s the first online novel I can keep reading." He Yimeng slightly praised: "The writing is emotional, the words have reason, the story is imaginative and worth savoring."

"Overpraised, overpraised." Li Peifeng pondered: "I discussed the launch with the editor before. Between the Spring Festival and the fifth day, traffic is relatively low because people are celebrating the New Year and have no time to read novels, affecting subscriptions. So, the launch of ’Sword and Magic’ is pushed to February 10th, by then the traffic should return to normal."

He Yimeng responded with a nod, suggesting: "Before the launch, you could try promoting it with short videos, shoot a couple of videos, or do a live stream. I could join you in the live stream, help push it, a lot of people are watching my streams now."

Recently, Li Peifeng heard Wu Wenyue mention He Yimeng’s account achievements. Currently, her Douyin account has over a million followers, her live streams average around three to four thousand online viewers, and the total audience can reach two to three million, which is pretty impressive for a new streamer.

Moreover, each of He Yimeng’s two-hour-plus live streams brings in at least over twenty thousand in gifts, including paid connections and PK with other streamers.

Trinity Studio is preparing for He Yimeng to promote products, and they are selecting suitable products and suppliers based on the user profiles in her live stream room.

But the main question is... using live streams to promote an online novel?

"You only have three to four thousand regular viewers." Li Peifeng cleared his throat: "During the launch, I’ll get a big recommendation, maybe gain thirty to forty thousand new followers in a day. And how do you promote with a live stream? It works better for physical books; my book isn’t published... Asking them to click the link below? That’s a bit low!"

He Yimeng chuckled lightly: "Of course you can’t just rely on live streams, you need to think differently, for example... cosplay a character from ’Sword and Magic’ and shoot a ten-second short video, if it hits Douyin’s trending list, wouldn’t that be some good publicity?"

"...Interesting."

Reminded by this, Li Peifeng’s heart was slightly stirred; thinking it over, he felt He Yimeng’s suggestion could indeed be a good promotional approach with certain feasibility.

Unknowing viewers might find the cosplay appealing without recognizing the character, naturally prompting them to check out his original book out of curiosity. If the cosplayed character was truly stunning, they could pay to promote it, achieving tens of millions of video views, which would naturally boost the traffic for ’Sword and Magic’.

"You have the character illustration of the main character Wang Chi, right? I think he looks quite like you, did you model him after yourself? Anyway, you could cosplay the main character Wang Chi, making a short video about a transformation."

"Before the transformation is modern clothing, after the transformation, it’s exotic style, best to show some skin... hmm, after the transformation, you could directly be at sea, rowing shirtless, tanned skin, bronzed muscles, perfectly recreating the scene of the main character fighting the storm just after crossing."
