Staet shopping

Louis lay on the bed, picked up his phone that he had set to silent mode, and wanted to check the effectiveness of his video.

As soon as he unlocked the phone, Louis was shocked.

Oh my god!

How many notifications is this!

On the notification bar of his phone screen, notifications for video likes, shares, and comments had all exceeded 99+.

Trembling, Louis swiped away these notifications. He had a feeling that his song would be popular, but he never expected it to be this popular!

It's terrifying!

Fortunately, he had muted it last night, or just these notification sounds alone could have kept him up all night.

Louis swallowed hard, opened TikTok, and went to his profile.

The number of over a million followers on his page almost blinded his eyes. Even though he had seen many great things in his life, he couldn't help but feel amazed at this moment.

Apart from himself, it seemed that no one else in this world had achieved this level of success.

And Louis saw that the comment section was filled with praise, all full of compliments, with many people even calling for more songs like this.

Indeed, good songs transcend time and space.

The good songs from the original world did not go unnoticed in this world, shining brightly with their own brilliance, successfully topping the TikTok trending list.

Louis also noticed that many famous internet personalities were already covering his song, and a few cover videos had made it to the trending list.

But they all credited themselves for the originality, so Louis didn't pay them much attention.

Returning to his personal page, Louis looked at his account's private message section, filled with requests for collaborations from advertisers and various guild recruitments.

Louis ignored them; there was no way he was going to sell products. He was a man with a world in his mind, and he couldn't bring himself to sell out just to make money.

Next was the moment of witnessing his earnings.

Louis opened the TikTok backend wallet and was astonished by the earnings he saw.

In just one day, without any ads or live streaming, the video had generated a staggering $320,000 in revenue, after tax deductions. That was very nice!

Phew~

Seeing his earnings, Louis breathed a sigh of relief.

With money in hand, he wouldn't have to live so tightly anymore.

Back when he only had a little over a thousand dollars to his name, he was cautious even about buying groceries. He couldn't bear the thought of a family having so little money left and what could happen in case of an emergency.

Now with this initial fortune, he felt much lighter.

After transferring the earnings to his bank card, Louis waited for the sound of the door closing after the two people outside had finished their meal before quickly leaving the house for breakfast.

After his morning run, he had a bigger appetite, finishing all the food on the table and feeling unsatisfied.

Luckily, it was breakfast, so he shouldn't eat too much.

After washing the dishes, Louis hastily grabbed his phone and left the house.

The neighborhood he lived in was in the old section of New York City.

The area had become a bit run down. The only reason he had bought a house there was that it was affordable. He and Anna had not been working for long when they got married, and they didn't have much money.

They had hoped to move to a better house after their marriage, but unfortunately, in the two years following their marriage, Louis not only didn't find a job, but also squandered all their savings.

He even sold Anna's phone for alcohol, controlling all the money in the house.

Leaving the dilapidated neighborhood and merging with the crowd, Louis walked straight to the mall in his memory.

The mall was not far from the neighborhood, just two streets away, named M Mall, a tacky name, but it had a wide selection of products.

It was Louis's first time here. As soon as he entered, he saw a store called iPhone Cellphone Specialty Store.

Perhaps because most people were at work, there weren't many customers in the store. A young female clerk was bored painting her nails at the counter.

When she saw Louis come in, her eyes noticeably brightened, and she quickly greeted him.

To be able to see such a handsome guy early in the morning, she felt much happier.

"Handsome, are you looking to buy a phone?"

"Yes."

Louis nodded, surveyed the counter, and chose a white phone.

The female clerk quickly picked up the phone Louis chose, her smile becoming even brighter.

"Handsome has great taste. The model you selected is our latest product, not only beautiful in appearance, but it also has a hundredfold zoom and is the best-selling phone globally!"

Louis nodded and then asked, "Do you sell SIM cards here too?"

"Of course! Are you buying it for yourself? If it's for personal use, you can get a card here. Right now, if you activate the card with $100, you not only get $100 worth of credit, but also 600 free minutes of call time, 100 free messages, and 50GB of exclusive data..."

The female clerk became even more enthusiastic in her introduction, speaking so much her mouth got dry. She didn't expect this handsome guy to not only buy a $3000 phone but also get a SIM card here.

This meant her commission would increase, which made her very happy!

Louis couldn't bear to interrupt her introduction and waited until she finished before saying, "I'm not getting a card for myself; it's for my wife."

"Uh..."

The female clerk was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Louis with a hint of disappointment.

Oh! Such a young guy had already entered the grave of marriage so early!

Even without blinking an eye, he bought a phone worth thousands for his wife.

While she thought this, she continued, "Your wife is really lucky. I think your wife will definitely love this phone you've chosen!"

"But if you need to get a SIM card, your wife would have to come in person and provide identification to activate it."

"Alright, please pack up this phone for me."

Louis scratched his head. He didn't expect that in this world, you needed real-name authentication even to buy a SIM card, so he had to let the clerk pack up the phone first.

In no time, the phone was packed, Louis paid with a scan code, and under the warm farewell of the female clerk, he quickly left the cellphone store.

He had many other things to buy and had already wasted a lot of time here.

Busy until midday, Louis returned home with a full load, followed by a large truck dedicated to delivering goods in the mall, heading home joyfully.

Indeed, the life of the wealthy is all about buying and buying!

That feeling is just so satisfying!
