Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Goal, One Million Followers_1
After showering, Lin Baici realized he had no clothes to change into. After searching around, he found a white towel in the wardrobe and simply wrapped it around his waist.
On the table was a coffee machine, and in the drawer, there were packets of coffee and tea.
Lin Baici also found a mini-fridge.
Inside there were cola, soda, beer, high-end mineral water, and some snacks, most of which were imported.
Feeling somewhat thirsty, he estimated that these items would cost money, so he didn't touch them.
Indeed,
he quickly found a "Guest Information" sheet on the desk, which listed various notices and some charged items.
"Fifty yuan for a can of cola? Are they trying to rob people?"
Lin Baici was speechless and thought it would be better to just buy some at a convenience store.
Ding dong! Ding dong!
The doorbell rang.
"Oppa, have you finished showering?"
Outside, Kim Myungjin's tone was sweet and obedient.
"Yes!"
Lin Baici hurried to open the door.
Kim Myungjin, wearing a tight-fitting tank top and shorts, was standing in the corridor, her two long, fair legs on full display, looking quite charming.
As soon as the door opened, the Goryeo girl saw Lin Baici and immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"Wow!"
Although Kim Myungjin had seen Lin Baici's body while at Dragon Temple facing the Eater God, at the time, it was a life-or-death crisis, and she was too anxious, only noting that Lin Baici had a great figure.
Now, seeing it again,
it truly was explosively good.
His arms were sleek, his shoulders broad and waist narrow, and his smooth body lines seemed as if they were handcrafted by the creator, particularly those eight-pack abs...
Could she just touch them?
The trainee idols under her mother's entertainment company should use Lin Baici as their model. With that physique, who cares about singing, dancing, or rap?
Just strip down, stand on the stage, and a sea of female fans would automatically be harvested.
Lin Baici didn't know where to look.
Kim Myungjin was dressed too provocatively.
Beneath her shorts, her two long legs stood straight, a pair of flip-flops on her feet, with ten soft and playful toes wiggling.
The little tank top she wore could only cover her chest, leaving her fair stomach and the mermaid line visible, but most eye-catching was the deep cleavage.
That large, must be a D-cup, right?
"Damn, what did I just see?"
Suddenly, an exclamation came from nearby.
It was Hua Yue Yu!
Hearing the noise, she opened the door just in time to see Lin Baici and Kim Myungjin, both of whom startled her with their figures.
Kim Myungjin doesn't need any talents; just with that face and figure, if she wore yoga clothes and struck a few poses, she could attract hundreds of thousands of fans.
But she seemed to be the daughter of a wealthy family and didn't need to earn that kind of money.
"Xiao Bai, how do you maintain such discipline?"
Hua Yue Yu, despite being petite, was over a year older than Lin Baici and couldn't bring herself to call him "Brother Lin." Calling him Bai Ci seemed too distant.
After much thought, the female anchor decided to call him Xiao Bai.
It was friendly and cute!
"Discipline?"
Lin Baici was puzzled.
"Yeah, to develop a good physique like yours, you not only need to stick to working out, but surely you must control your diet, right?"
Hua Yue Yu believed that as a high school student, Lin Baici must have suffered a lot to build such muscles.
"Not at all,"
Lin Baici shrugged.
He didn't work out, nor did he care about his diet. He frequently consumed cola, fried foods, and instant noodles, but his body was still more perfect than that of an athlete.
He didn't know why before, but now it seemed to be the result of the God Hunter's effect, a kind of Divine Grace!
He just didn't know when he had absorbed this Divine Grace.
"You're too modest!"
Kim Myungjin believed that the body never lies.
A fat person claiming self-discipline? Only a fool would believe that!
"Let's talk in the room!"
Lin Baici gestured for them to come in.
Hua Yue Yu was wearing a bathrobe. Though petite and not flat-chested, she wasn't much to look at, so Kim Myungjin stole the spotlight.
"You wait here for a while; I'll wash the clothes!"
Just as Lin Baici picked up his dirty clothes, Kim Myungjin stopped him.
"Why bother washing? Just buy new ones!"
Kim Myungjin picked up the phone and dialed her usual luxury brands to see if they had outlets in Guangqing. If they did, she would have a tailor come over and make a few sets of clothes for Lin Baici.
"No! No!"
Lin Baici quickly intervened and, seeing that Kim Myungjin was not listening, snatched the phone from her hand, "I'm just an ordinary high school student. Just buying some shorts and a tank top is fine for me!"
Lin Baici wasn't particular about clothes, and Kim Myungjin's casual spending really made him uncomfortable.
"Then let the staff take it and have it washed in the hotel's laundry room!"
Big hotels all offered this service, but it cost money.
After Kim Myungjin finished the call, she went to the mini-fridge, opened it, and took out all the snacks and drinks: "Want something to drink?"
"…"
Lin Baici was impressed; rich people really don't care about prices.
"This is what I'm striving for!"
Hua Yue Yu sighed.
With her net worth, she could afford to stay at such a hotel but couldn't be as carefree.
You can do it, Yue Yu,
to achieve financial freedom!
Hua Yue Yu clenched her little fist and cheered for herself in her heart.
Ding dong! Ding dong!
The doorbell rang again.
This time, the hotel's general manager, a middle-aged man, arrived!
"Miss Kim, your dinner and cell phone have arrived!"
The general manager was friendly.
Kim Myungjin looked back, "Oppa, is it okay if we eat here?"
"Whatever you like!"
Lin Baici was indifferent.
"Then, please bring the food in!"
As soon as Kim Myungjin finished speaking, a young chef in a white uniform immediately pushed in a cart, accompanied by an older foreign chef.
"This is our head chef, Laurent. He's off tonight, but once he knew you hadn't finished your meal, he came especially to prepare this dinner for you!"
The general manager introduced.
The head chef was French, and obviously aware of Kim Myungjin's identity, offered his greetings in the few Korean phrases he had learnt in haste.
Kim Myungjin opened her mouth and responded with a fluent French, almost unnervingly authentic.
After exchanging pleasantries, the head chef made his point and didn't dare to disturb the VIP's dining.
"Oppa, check out the dinner and if it's not to your taste, we'll change it!"
No matter how renowned the French chef was, if Oppa didn't like it, it'd be remade.
When the general manager heard Kim Myungjin say this, he couldn't help but glance at Lin Baici.
Tsk!
What a great figure!
Must be a rich second-generation, right?
After all, ordinary people don't have time to work out!
And Miss Kim is really good to him!
Kind of like she's throwing herself at him.
"Just eat whatever!"
If it were up to Lin Baici, he'd go straight to a street stall for skewers.
Now, with all this fancy setup, he was quite uncomfortable.
"Miss Kim, our hotel has also offered you a bottle of red wine from Portugal's Porto estate as a complimentary gift. We hope you enjoy your meal."
The general manager also withdrew.
The wine was expensive, over three thousand yuan a bottle, but there was no need to emphasize that, as Kim Myungjin understood with just one glance.
"You must be hungry too, right? Let's eat!"
Kim Myungjin wiped down her knife and fork with a napkin and handed them over to Lin Baici, her attitude as earnest as a tea-serving assistant.
"This meal must have been expensive, right?"
Hua Yue Yu felt like she had taken too much advantage and was embarrassed.
"We've been through life and death together; the friendship we've built is something money can't buy!"
Kim Myungjin had no intention of showing off the price of these things; she was simply worried about not providing adequately for Lin Baici.
The steak prepared by the head chef of the five-star hotel was indeed tastier than the frozen steaks bought at the supermarket, giving Lin Baici a nice taste of western cuisine.
"Oppa, what do you plan to do next? Become a God Hunter?"
Kim Myungjin was curious.
Because God's Ruins had become a natural disaster, if the God's Bones inside were not contained, the Ruins would continue to spread, eroding human habitats.
For instance, Okinawa Island has been completely engulfed by the black fog and turned into God's Ruins for ten years, reportedly inhabited by a God.
Anyway, the Sakura Country hasn't been able to reclaim it to this day; more than a million people perished there.
Therefore, the importance and value of God Hunters, who can hunt Gods and contain God's Bones, are self-evident.
Governments of various countries, in order not to cause panic, do not publicly promote information about God Hunters and God's Ruins, but in private, these hunters enjoy enormous privileges.
Because the state needs them.
"No, I'm going to university!"
Lin Baici had worked hard for three years in middle school, fought through three years of high school, and now that he was freed, of course, he wanted to enjoy the university life that his homeroom teacher had raved about.
The most leisurely time in one's life is those four years. Once graduated, as a member of the workforce, there's nothing but hard labor, 'enjoying' the blessings of a 996 schedule.
That's if you don't end up unemployed!
"That's true, you're still young. Why take that risk!"
Kim Myungjin showed understanding.
God Hunter must be the profession with the highest mortality rate.
"However, I'm planning to make videos lately. Yue Yu, got any suggestions?"
This was the top streamer on Shark Station, a top-tier broadcaster across major platforms, with fans totaling over five million.
"Fitness videos are quite popular recently. With your physique, you could easily get a lot of fans just by dancing to a classical prescription!"
Hua Yue Yu teased.
"I can't!"
Lin Baici was serious; he really didn't understand the first thing about fitness.
"Actually, whether a video goes viral or not depends on luck, apart from the operation!"
Hua Yue Yu scratched her head, "This industry is tough. You might work hard and become hot, but you could cool down the very next day!"
"Are you doing it for money? Or to become famous?"
Kim Myungjin interjected, "Why not come to Goryeo as a trainee? With your qualifications, my mom will definitely focus on training you, and you could debut in just a year!"
"I've heard that the entertainment industry in Goryeo is quite messy!"
Hua Yue Yu didn't want Lin Baici to go.
"Hehe!"
Kim Myungjin smiled in response.
My Lin Oppa as an idol, who would dare to mess around?
Do you think my Kim family is made of clay?
"Hmm, got it!"
Lin Baici was embarrassed to say that he wanted to make videos to earn money.
In front of two pretty girls, such a statement felt somewhat embarrassing to him.
"If you really want to make videos, we can collaborate!"
Hua Yue Yu suggested.
She was offering to use her popularity to directly boost Lin Baici, but this approach had a problem: her fervent fans would likely attack Lin Baici.
At the very least, he wouldn't be able to shake off the label of 'living off a woman'.
"No need, I'll do it myself!"
Lin Baici thought to himself that, after all, he was a God Hunter blessed with Great Divine Grace—gaining a million fans through videos was only reasonable, right?
Then he could earn tens of thousands each month from advertisements.
"Baici, which university did you get into?"
Hua Yue Yu looked forward with hope; it would be great if they were in the same city.
Kim Myungjin also perked up her ears, I could have mom arrange for me to go on an exchange program at Oppa's university.
