[Bonus Chapter] 24 - Preparing for revenge

"What are you going to do about this asshole, Noah?" Olivia asked as she read the things this Logan Steele had done in the past, getting angrier and angrier.

"First of all, I don't have to worry about him trying to say it's his song." I began to explain, leaving Olivia confused.

"Why?" she asked. "Do you want to use the stream you participated in as proof that you're the original singer of the song?"

Looking at her, I just smiled mysteriously and replied. "Don't worry, I have a way to prove it, now my question is how can I get my voice heard... because there's no point in me proving that it's my song and only 10 people see it, I'd have to find a way for what I post to spread."

As I thought to myself, Olivia started looking on her phone as well, but neither of us came up with a good idea.

Until Olivia had a good one. "You know, he's posting on Instabram and streams singing the song and saying he's the singer of it, why don't you give him back by also posting that you're the real singer and showing your proof?"

"That might be useful, but it still doesn't solve the problem of how people could know me and know that I'm the singer of this song". I replied, trying to keep thinking.

But while we were both trying to think, I got a notification on Voicord, the Discord of the world.

[Hey BV, are you awake?]

Looking at the message, I saw that it was from Quacktus.

[Sup Quacktus, I'm here] I replied.

[Have you seen the shit Logan Steele is doing?]

[Yeah, my sister just showed it to me, I was sleeping and she woke me up pissed about it].

[I'm glad you know, I was thinking, since you did the song on my stream the first time, how about you do the response to it on my stream too? I can help you spread the word so it reaches more people].

When I saw his suggestion, I thought about it.

It was obvious that Quacktus was trying to use the hype that this discussion would generate to get more viewers for his stream, but from my point of view it wasn't a bad idea.

I could take advantage of this to create a stream channel, because I know from my previous world how lucrative it was if you already had an audience.

But remembering that the streamers who made a lot of money usually spent several hours a day doing streams, I don't think that's what I wanted for myself.

With my system, I could learn a lot during the day, but if I had to stream all day, it would be a big waste of time.

So I think just being on the Quacktus stream and promoting my music and my MeTube channel would be enough.

[I think that's a good idea, do you have anything planned?] I asked after a bit of thought.

[I'm already in contact with my manager, I think he can think of a way to promote the stream to get more attention, so we can do it tomorrow or the next day, is that okay with you?]

[That's fine with me, I'll try to research some things too and if I think of anything I'll let you know].

[Nice! Oh, one more thing, your new microphone should be here the day after tomorrow."] He replied.

"You're friends with Quacktus?" Olivia, who was standing next to me and reading our conversation, asked in surprise.

"We added each other on Voicord, but other than giving him the address to send me the microphone, we haven't talked about anything else." I replied, getting a little excited about the new microphone that was about to arrive.

Nodding her head, Olivia gave a small smile and yawned. "I think I'll go to sleep now that everything is settled, tomorrow I'll help you do some more research on this Logan guy, okay?"

Smiling at her, I nodded and went back to sleep as well.

Even though my body didn't feel tired, probably because of the gamer body System might have given me, I still liked to sleep.

The next day my routine was normal, I had breakfast with my dad, did my morning run, had breakfast with my mom, Olivia and Ethan again.

The difference was that at school, instead of studying my school subjects, I focused on using my cell phone to research Logan and try to find as much information about him as possible.

Since he had been involved in a lot of drama on the Internet, I needed a lot of time to analyze both sides, the things that had been leaked over time, and especially the things that had turned out to be false.

By the time I left the school, I had pretty much all the evidence I needed to talk about Logan on the stream.

While I was explaining his homework to Ethan, my Teach skill went up another level.

[Teach Lv 17 -> 19]

Considering that this skill had increased by one level last night while I was helping them with their homework, the rate of increase was very good.

After helping him with his homework and looking at the skill that had leveled up, I remembered that I had promised him that I would teach him to play the guitar, so I searched online to see if I could buy a ukulele that wasn't too expensive.

From what I found, a generic brand ukulele cost $50, while more famous brands cost from $100 upwards.

Looking at my bank account, I had accumulated $630 since the last time I spent it to pay off the bill I got from my dad when we went to buy the gym equipment.

With this money, I can buy a really good quality ukulele, so if I need to use a ukulele for a song, I can borrow Ethan's...

Looking for the best brands and reviews on the internet, I found that a $270 ukulele was the best value for money, considering the quality of it compared to some $400 ukuleles.

Thinking about getting my money's worth out of this ukulele, I would make two drawings today.

The drawings I was commissioned to do today were in a style I thought was more acceptable, most of them were of wolves or dogs, since that was the audience my drawings went to the most, but these drawings were of these characters only in everyday situations or in battles, which were the ones I liked the most.

[+1 DEX].

Although my level in digital illustration didn't increase, my dexterity increased by one point, which made it a little easier to draw without having to press Ctrl Z all the time.

Jacob's profile grew a lot every day, mainly because my speed of delivering drawings was higher than other artists in the field, the amount of drawings I posted was greater, which had more chance of going viral and growing even more.

[@JacobTheWerewolf - 9,200 followers].

Taking advantage of the fact that I was looking at Jacob's Twipper stats, I took the opportunity to see how BlackVelvet's songs were doing.

[Numb - 98,511 views] +8,800 views

[In The End - 19,476 views] + 9,400 views

[6,666 subscribers] + 1,422 subs

Numb had gotten another 9,000 views since the last time I saw it, it was almost at 100,000 views!

The growth of the channel was going very well, for an amount of views like that, almost 10% of the people listening to the songs were subscribing to the channel, which was great.

But what I noticed while reading the comments was that some viewers were starting to talk about Logan.

[Hey BV, did you see that there's a streamer singing your song and saying that he made it?]

[BlackVelvet, show people that you're the original singer of The Lazy Song...]

[BV, I met you singing The Lazy Song on Quacktus' stream, I know you're the original singer, reply to Logan!]

[Don't give Logan the attention he wants, BV].

[It's not about giving attention, if BV doesn't answer, people will continue to believe that Logan is the original singer].

There were few comments about this bullshit because not many people knew that I was the original singer of The Lazy Song, most of the viewers of my channel were people who only liked Numb and In The End, which had a completely different style than The Lazy Song.

So much so that some people saw those comments and were surprised.

[You mean BlackVelvet is the singer of The Lazy Song?!]

[What do you mean my idol of sad songs sang that happy song?!]

[Stop being idiots, look at the style of music BV sings, do you think he would sing a song as cheerful as The Lazy Song?!]

Seeing those people's doubts and some already labeling BV as a sad artist who might only sing emo songs, I knew that I couldn't just focus on that style to make people's impression even stronger.

[BV, are you there? I think we'll be able to stream today!] Quacktus sent me a message on Voicord.
