Chapter 175 The First Video Idea
Pitter-patter—as the water fell from the shower head into the tiled floor, Jesse blindly touched the handle to shut off the shower.
He then grabbed a towel and dried his hair, then the rest of his well-toned body.
Jesse then wrapped the towel around his waist and walked out of the shower into his chilly room.
"Ugh, cold." He shuddered and rubbed his arms as he walked to the wardrobe, a few water droplets falling down his hair.
After quickly changing clothes and throwing the towel on top of the bathroom door, he sat down on his gaming chair and opened the PC.
"Mm." He crossed his legs and opened a drawer.
He took a snack bar from there and munched on it while typing with his left hand, "ForeverTube."
"Let's see." Jesse put the snack bar beside the keyboard and then logged into his Ambrose account.
ForeverTube also allowed to log in with a Martial Online account.
After he finished logging in, he went to the "popular" section to see the latest trending videos on ForeverTube.
"Huh?" He frowned and narrowed his eyes.
"A makeup tutorial for Martial Online Edition by PinkDragon...
"Quickest Way of Gaining XP by JonathanMayers.
"Secret Quest Locations by BakingQueen.
"Easiest way of leveling up by 89John.
"A location of all treasure chests by HunterExtraordinaire, and then there is a thumbnail of a treasure chest and an image of 100,000 silvers..."
Jesse covered his face and sighed heavily.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt'Most of these are just clickbaits, but they have hundreds of millions of views.'
Jesse couldn't believe so many people were falling for this, but now that Reality Market was a thing, many were desperate to earn quick silver.
'To become famous on ForeverTube, I would have to clickbait like them?' Jesse shook his head, as he did not want to do something so pathetic.
He then left the trending section and typed in the search bar "Martial Online."
The first videos were clickbaits, intended to trick the younglings into watching with flashy thumbnails and misleading titles.
However, once Jesse scrolled down a bit further, he came across an interesting title.
"How to create your own skills and the importance of real-life physique..."
Jesse looked surprised and stroked his chin thoughtfully.
'Do people already know about them? I guess I haven't visited forums lately, so I guess I must have missed it.
'This video is only a week old as well.'
After clicking on the video, he paused it and went to check the comments.
There were many unhappy comments about the physique thing, but also some thanking the person for making this informative video, as it would greatly help the newbies.
Jesse then leaned against the backrest of the chair, took the snack bar, and started watching the video.
The video lasted fifteen minutes, but not once was he bored, even though he knew all of the things talked about.
'An entertaining person.' Jesse thought and gave the video a like, then also subscribed.
He then checked the number of views and was surprised that it only had 600,000, while most of the clickbait ones had hundreds of times more.
'That is such bullshit.' Jesse crossed his arms and frowned. 'I would rather make these kinds of videos.'
He now understood the core principle of making a popular video.
A flashy thumbnail.
A good title.
A way to trick people into clicking the video and watching it by delaying the promised content as long as possible, and when the viewers realized that the promised content was false, it would already be too late.
'Hmm...' Jesse kicked up his legs and rested them on the table while he pondered what kind of video he should make.
'I don't want to make a clickbait video, but an informative and fun one.' Jesse thought to himself.
After pondering for five minutes, he sighed and left the ForeverTube.
His mind was running empty with zero ideas.
"Ugh, I'll think about it tomorrow." Jesse sighed and used his left hand to type ForeverStream's website name.
He was using everything with his left hand, just like the Wisdom King had instructed.
He had seen some improvement, but he still had a long way to go.
After opening the ForeverStream site, he checked the first thing that popped up on the front page.
It was a stream of top 55 ranked streamer, who went by the name of Olympos.
He was an attractive young man with yellowish hair and gentle blue eyes. His face was angular and sharp, with most of the young energy shaved off.
The clothing he donned was rather exotic, reflecting his unique personality and style.
The jacket was adorned with intricate embroidery and vibrant colors, making him stand out in any crowd.
The shirt underneath was a flannel shirt with a bold plaid pattern, complementing the jacket perfectly.
His pants were tight-fitting and made of a sleek leather material, hugging his explosive leg muscles.
Wrapped around his belt was a silver chain with a pendant that glimmered in the sunlight, and beside that was a small dagger with embroided handle.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm'A dagger user?' Jesse scrolled slightly down and saw the streamer's description, which he then read inside his mind.
'Welcome to Olympos, a rare player with a completely unique class: Daggerwielder.'
Jesse looked surprised and then scrolled back to watch the stream.
He didn't expect himself to be the only player with an upgraded class, but he was surprised to find one with so much popularity.
However, with such rare class, it would be easy to attract viewers.
'I suppose the upgraded classes aren't secret anymore, but I am not sure if anyone has shared the knowledge of how that works.'
Jesse turned his focus to the chat, and as he guessed, hundreds of messages popped up, asking how to get a unique class that no one else had.
However, Olympos ignored those messages and only focused on the subscriber messages.
'Hmm, should I make a video of Suicide Swordsman class?' He thought and stroked his chin. 'I also have that Book of Suicide Swordsman, which I still cannot open.
'That could definitely boost my popularity instantly.'
However, Jesse was conflicted about whether it was wise to reveal something so critical.
He always had an advantage over his opponents because they weren't aware of his extra health and the damage nullifier.
He could, of course, not tell those in the video, but most sharp-minded players with their own special classes would realize that he had something up his sleeve.
'Suicide Swordman class is one of my greatest trump cards, and I am not sure whether I should reveal it for fame and money.'
However, after checking the chat interaction and how many viewers simply wanted to know how to get one, Jesse had an idea.
'I should make a video about it. I will also add those flashy thumbnails and clickbaity titles, but instead of fooling others, I will simply tell the truth about how to get one.'
Jesse shrugged his shoulders.
He didn't have to tell anyone that he also had one, and even though many could guess that, most would accuse him of being a liar if he used those clickbaity titles.
However, he did not give a single fuck.
In the future, everyone would realize he was speaking the truth.
'Alright, tomorrow I will try making my first video!' Jesse looked at the ceiling and smiled.
He was excited to find out how it goes.
