Rebirth of Internet Hegemon

Rebirth to the year 2001. It was a rather awkward juncture in time. Tencent had risen to prominence, Alibaba had emerged, and even Baidu was raking in profits... What was the point of this rebirth? Well, if rebirth served no purpose, then why not seize the opportunity to enjoy an unambitious life of comfort? But it was a pity that Chen Yu, who had set his sights solely on living the good life, accidentally ended up dominating the world of the internet. =============== The work doesn't belong to me, I'm just a hobbyist translator doing "pro bono" work just like those novelupdates guys.

Writing a guide for The Legend of Mir 2

"I... I, um..."

The group of seven or eight potential franchisees had Chen Simian so worked up that he was about to faint from excitement.

However, seeing that it was already past 3 a.m., it was impossible to finalize anything with so many potential franchisees tonight.

In the end, Chen Simian and the others agreed that it was too late to discuss further tonight, and they would reconvene tomorrow at noon.

"Alright."

The potential franchisees also understood that it wasn't suitable to continue the discussion at this late hour.

After all, they had already conducted their inspections and had a sense of the situation.

So, they agreed to meet again tomorrow.

Everything went smoothly.

The next day, Chen Simian reached agreements with the eight potential franchisees.

As for the contract in the agreements, they were all treated equally, with no special treatment or price hikes.

"Everyone, here, let's toast."

"Cheers."

"Boss Chen, please take good care of us in the future."

"Wherever, we'll progress together."

"Hehe, Boss Chen is modest. At first, when we saw the newspaper, we thought it might be a scam. Fortunately, we came to inspect in person."

"To be honest with you all, we had no choice but to advertise for franchisees in the newspaper. However, you must not be complacent. If other businesses also join, it may affect your profits. But rest assured, as long as everyone works diligently and takes care of the Snail Beauty brand, even if other businesses enter the market, we can drive them out."

"Boss Chen is considerate. Let's have another drink."

They had a hearty meal and plenty to drink.

"Xiaoyu, thanks to your idea, otherwise, where would we find so many franchisees?"

"Hehe, Dad, you're getting drunk. You should rest."

"I'm not drunk, I'm just happy. Right now, in the 18 counties of Jiangxi, we've secured 11 franchisees, just 7 more to go, no, if we include Ganzhou, then 8 more, and we can have the entire Jiangxi under our franchise. Xiaoyu, what do you think? Should we run another advertising campaign for franchisees?"

"No need, now that we already have 11 franchisees, the brand effect will spread quickly. In the near future, the remaining counties will come to join automatically."

"That's good, that's good."

Chen Simian hiccupped, then suddenly remembered something. "By the way, Wenxiu, we need to order more river snails for our wholesale business."

"I know."

"No, I have to go talk to those who collect river snails."

"What do you need to talk to them about? Wait until you're sober."

"Alright, alright."

Chen Simian said as he leaned back in his chair.

"Look at your dad, he can't handle his alcohol and drinks so much."

"Mom, Dad is just happy."

"Yes, he's happy, but he's giving us a hard time. Come on, let's take your dad to the bedroom."

"Alright."

They couldn't let him sleep in the chair, so Chen Yu and his mother helped Chen Simian onto the bed together.

Seeing his father, Chen Simian, sleeping soundly, Chen Yu smiled.

"Xiaoyu, why are you smiling?"

"Was I smiling?"

"Yes, you just smiled."

"Oh, I was indeed smiling. From now on, I'm going to become a second-generation wealthy person, and I won't have to work anymore."

"My goodness, Xiaoyu, you have no ambition."

Zhang Wenxiu sighed and chuckled. "You can stop pretending. Mom knows you too well. You're a young man with an old soul. Recently, did you open an office near Chen Yiguang Square?"

"Uh, Mom, how did you know?"

"Hmph, don't think that just because you came home late at night, Mom wouldn't find out. Be home earlier from now on."

"I understand, Mom."

"Right now, you're still young, so focusing on your studies is the most important. Your class teacher even called me."

"What? Why did the class teacher call you? I'm a good student."

"A good student, but why have you been late to class so often recently?"

"Well, about that..."

Chen Yu felt a bit embarrassed. Due to his office work, he had indeed been late several times. He hadn't expected the class teacher to call his parents.

"I won't be late next time, really, I won't."

Chen Yu assured his mother.

...

"Jian Ge, what are you doing?"

"Writing articles."

"What?"

Chen Yu thought he had misheard. "Writing articles?"

"Yes."

"What kind of articles are you writing?"

"I'm writing a strategy guide for Legend."

"Oh my..."

As soon as Chen Yu entered the office, he was shocked by Zhang Jianming's words.

"Let me see."

"Don't disturb me, I'm still writing. If you want to read, go to the website. I've written several articles before."

"Okay, okay, Jian Ge, you continue writing."

It was rare to see Zhang Jianming so serious. Chen Yu opened his computer and logged into 5173.

"Legend: Gold Farming Strategy."

"How to Kill the Corpse King."

"I'm the one who killed the White Pig and got Judgment."

"Discussing the Hidden Attributes of Judgment."

"How to Trigger Double Inferno."

Looking at the articles all related to The Legend of Mir 2, Chen Yu gave Zhang Jianming a thumbs up.

"Amazing."

"Truly amazing."

Before, when Chen Yu asked Zhang Jianming to create some exclusive content, he didn't have high expectations for what Zhang Jianming could produce. However, he was surprised that Zhang Jianming had become so inspired and had created so many innovative and attractive articles.

"Wow, I can't believe the posts on 5173 are even more professional than those on the official forum of Legend."

"I wondered how others could achieve the Double Inferno. Impressive."

"I'm bookmarking this. I won't go to the Legend forum anymore; I'll stay here."

"Haha, in fact, the White Pig can indeed drop some top-tier equipment; it's just that the drop rate is a bit low."

A series of comments from netizens confirmed the appeal of these articles.

To that end, Chen Yu specifically checked the PV of 5173. Surprisingly, the PV had increased tenfold compared to its previous numbers.

"Unbelievable."

"What a talent."

Shocked by the high page views, Chen Yu couldn't help but exclaim. Could it be that Zhang Jianming had unlocked some hidden potential? It seemed that the gap between people wasn't as significant as it appeared. As long as they were given a platform, even an ordinary person might achieve greatness.

Chen Yu naturally appreciated Zhang Jianming's efforts.

"Phew, I finally finished. I'm exhausted."

"Jian Ge, what did you write this time?"

"I wrote about the respawn points of all the bosses in Legend."

"Wow, 666..."

Chen Yu enthusiastically shouted "666".

"What's '666'?"

Zhang Jianming was baffled.

"Anyway, it means something impressive. I think that soon, those Legend players won't want to go to the Legend forum anymore; they'll all come to us."

"Hehe, I have the same thought."

Zhang Jianming grinned innocently. "In fact, quite a few Legend players only visit our 5173 now."

"I've noticed."

Chen Yu nodded. "Recently, not only did our 5173's PV increase by nine times, but our IP traffic also increased by 70%. Jian Ge, that's awesome."

"Well, it's not entirely my credit."

Zhang Jianming said, "Back when you assigned me this task, I was really nervous."

"Why were you nervous?"

"I was afraid I wouldn't be able to complete the task, and you'd fire me."

"Oh my..."

Chen Yu was moved to tears. Was he really the kind of person who would do that?

At the time he assigned this task, he hadn't cared about the quality of Zhang Jianming's work. He had only wanted him to think more.

"Later, Xie Zhang and the others said, 'Let's just make up something ourselves.'

So, Xie Zhang wrote an article titled "How to Become the Number One Expert in Heroes of Jin Yong". As soon as this content was posted, it immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the relevant players.

Our IP traffic increased rapidly.

Then, I realized that exclusive content like this was indeed more attractive than regular news. So, I, a part-time Legend player, also started writing some Legend-related strategies."

"666" in Chinese is pronounced as "liù liù liù", and the repetition of the number six sounds like clapping in Chinese, making it a way to applaud or show appreciation for something. At least, that's what I found, and it does fit the context
