Lu Yu himself doesn't care much about this result. It is normal that the first video is not very popular. If it could become popular so easily, then the whole world would be full of internet celebrities.

"I'm sorry...I just didn't do well enough."

Seeing that the video only had 7,000 views in three days, Toyokawa Shoko naturally put the blame on herself. Comparing it with other videos that had hundreds of thousands of views, Shoko's face showed obvious self-blame.

"sorry......"

Toyokawa Shoko lowered her head, her voice full of disappointment. She had thought that this video would become popular because Lu Yu's suona playing was so amazing, and this video should have attracted many people. However, who would have thought that it would only get 7,000 views in three days.

This number of views is not even half of that of Kasuga Shadow.

"What are you talking about? Isn't this good?"

Looking at Xiangzi who was lowering his head and feeling depressed, Lu Yu smiled and reached out his hand and gently pinched Xiangzi's face.

"What's so good about it... You're such a great suona player, I must be holding you back..."

"Xiangzi, what are you thinking about? Do you think 7,000 views in three days is too low?"

“Isn’t it low?”

“I don’t think it’s low.”

Seven thousand views in three days is a bit low if you have to say, but what Lu Yu cares about is not the number of views, but the comments in the video comment section.

[Wow, what kind of instrument is this? I have never heard of it before.]

[It feels great, and sounds grand.]

[The piano playing is great, come on up! ]

[At first glance, the two instruments don’t seem to go together, but after listening to them, they got stuck in my head for some reason and I couldn’t help but listen to them many times.]

[Hmm, but if I listen carefully, it seems that the person playing the instrument isn’t that good?]

[Right? Did you play too hard? It kind of drags down the sound of the piano...]

very good!

very good!

Looking at these comments, Lu Yu was very satisfied.

The audience had unanimous praise for Xiangzi's piano, but had mixed opinions about him. This was exactly the effect he wanted, because his suona was just a gimmick to attract people in. Once people came in, all Lu Yu needed was for them to be impressed by Xiangzi's piano.

"You play the suona so well, but they still say there is something wrong with you..."

At this moment, Xiangzi even wanted to snatch the phone from Luyu's hand and block the person who said that Luyu blew too hard.

"No, they are right. This time it is indeed my problem."

Xiangzi felt even more upset when he heard Luyu say that. Xiangzi didn't know that Luyu didn't care about his evaluation at all, she just felt that she was a burden to Luyu.

"Okay, don't be so disappointed. I'm not dissatisfied with the result of this video. In fact, I'm very happy now!"

Patting Xiangzi on the shoulder gently, Lu Yu made a suggestion: "Xiangzi, to celebrate the success of the video, let's invite Miss Hesha out for a big meal!"

"Ugh?!"

Have a big meal?

Toyokawa Shoko was stunned. The video was such a failure, did they still need to celebrate?

"Yeah, isn't such a huge success worthy of celebration? Let's go, let's go to that Michelin restaurant last time, let's have a big meal and relax!"

One video helped Xiangzi gain 44 fans, and also made 127 people who watched the video recognize Xiangzi as a pianist. Isn't this worth celebrating?

What? His own reputation? What kind of reputation does a lousy suona player need? The most important thing is to make Xiangzi famous as soon as possible!

"Come on, let's go now. It's my treat!"

Without giving Xiangzi a chance to say anything, Lu Yu pulled Xiangzi, who looked remorseful, up to the second floor excitedly and knocked on Touma Hesa's door.

"Miss Hesa, Miss Hesa."

"what happened?"

About a minute later, Touma Hesa, who was thinking about how to better train Shoko in the room, stood up from her seat and opened the door.

Lu Yu said excitedly, "Ms. Kazusa, to celebrate the success of the video, I plan to have a big meal at a Michelin restaurant called L'Osier. Do you want to join us?"

"Hey? Can I go too?"

"Of course! You are Xiangzi's teacher, how can we miss you!"

"But......"

Touma and Sa wanted to say, but your video has very low views and you yourself have been criticized as a burden in the comments section. Even in this situation, you are still in the mood to celebrate?

However, before she could say anything, Lu Yu excitedly took out his cell phone and called the restaurant to reserve a private room.

"Let's go, let's go, we have to have a big meal today!"

Volume 1: Chapter 26 I'll pay 300,000

Compared with the last time he went to L'Osier, this time Lu Yu spent a lot more money when paying the bill. The prices of L'Osier's dishes are expensive to begin with, and with the addition of Touma Kazusa, the budget was naturally stretched a lot more.

But anyway, this money is all Xiangzi's training fund, Luyu doesn't care at all. He just eats and drinks as usual. Xiangzi's training goals and tasks are being slowly completed. The progress is fast this time and the system has added new training funds. He is not short of money!

However, in the eyes of the remaining two people, Lu Yu's nonchalant behavior of eating looked like he was venting something.

As expected... Lu Yu is still not satisfied with the performance of the video, right?

Seeing Lu Yu eating with relish, Xiangzi felt so distressed.

Lu Yu is such a rich young man, he must eat these foods a lot. How can these foods taste so good to him?

"Eat, Xiangzi, Miss Hesha, all the dishes are here, why don't you eat?" Looking at the two people who didn't move their chopsticks, Lu Yu took the initiative to entertain them.

"This Kun soup is said to be stewed with a two-and-a-half-year-old hen. It's quite delicious. You all should try it!"

Xiangzi: “…”

Touma Kazusa: “…”

He obviously lived frugally and spent money on himself, but he was still so useless. To comfort himself, he took me to such an expensive Michelin restaurant, and even forced himself to smile and eat more to make himself happier...

I'm sorry, Lu Yu, I have let you down.

No, I am still too lazy now. I need to practice the piano well. I might as well ask for a day off from school tomorrow and concentrate on practicing the piano!

Shoko was in a really bad mood, and Touma and Sa were in a similar situation to Shoko. To be honest, neither of them had much appetite.

In the end, this Michelin meal worth more than 300,000 yen basically ended up in Ruyu's stomach, which benefited Ruyu himself.

After dinner, the three of them returned to Lu Yu’s rented house, each with their own thoughts.

As soon as he got home, Xiangzi started practicing the piano without saying anything. Fuuma and Sa did not return to their room but stayed with Xiangzi. As for Lu Yu, he was in a very good mood and hummed a little song while thinking about Xiangzi's performance.

That's right. Performance.

Even if he chooses to be a pianist instead of an idol, Lu Yu thinks Xiangzi still needs to perform.

Lu Yu's goal is to train Xiangzi to complete the tasks given by the system, and the tasks of the system require fame and number of fans.

Uploading videos to accumulate fans is one way, and directly gaining fans through performances is another way.

As it stands, since Xiangzi's excellent piano skills have already earned him fans and fame online, his offline performances will naturally have the same effect.

"Well. It's time to consider letting Xiangzi perform."

"What are the places where Xiangzi can perform now?"

Several places flashed through Lu Yu's mind, Budokan, Tokyo Dome, Tokyo Imperial Theater. Hmm... it seemed that these places were a little too early for Xiangzi.

After all, we should start with the live house, right?

But live houses are usually performed by bands, so I guess not many people would watch a solo piano performance, right?

It doesn't matter whether he makes money or not, since he is using the money given by the system, so he doesn't expect Xiangzi's performance to bring him much profit at all.

My goal is not to make a lot of money from Xiangzi's performance, but to help Xiangzi effectively gain fans and fame. It would be meaningless if no one watches it.

Just think about it, for a piano solo in a live house, it would be good if there were three or five people willing to come and watch.

"Wait a moment!"

"Balls and sacks!"

Since it's not for money...then you can even pay people to come and see it? !

Greed is a common human nature. Simply playing the piano in a live house is indeed not very attractive, but what if he not only does not charge for tickets but also actively provides alcohol, drinks, snacks and small gifts?

By launching a massive marketing campaign and luring people in, Xiangzi can naturally attract fans through her performance.

He could even go a step further and book a live house for three to five days to let Cong Xiang have as much fun as he wants!

Anyway, as long as Xiangzi evolves fast enough, the system will continue to add funds, and he will not be short of money.

Okay, okay, it’s a happy decision.

【Name: Toyokawa Shoko】

[Current piano playing level: Excellent↑ (3%)]

When Xiangzi's playing level further improves to about 10% of excellence, we will organize an exclusive concert for Xiangzi according to this plan!

Early the next morning, Lu Yu got up early and excitedly picked a live house with good reputation on the Internet and contacted the owner.

In an underground live house called Starry, Lu Yu met the owner of the live house, a blonde lady named Ijichi Hoshika.

"I want to book your live house for a while."

Straight to the point, Lu Yu directly stated his request.

"Book my live house? What are you planning to do?"

Looking at the man in front of him with extraordinary appearance and excellent temperament, Ijichi Xingge, who had planned to directly reject the other party's request, decided to give the other party's appearance a chance.

So sometimes being handsome can really make a living!

"It's like this. I have a sister who studies piano. She's very good. I want more people to hear her performance, so I want to use your venue to hold a concert for her."

"Is that why?"

Lu Yu nodded: "Yes, that's why."

"If that's the reason, I don't recommend you to use this method, because it will be very expensive, and there won't be many customers. This is a live house, and if it's just a simple piano performance, there may not be many customers..."

"How much does it cost per day?"

After thinking about it, Ichichi Hoshika quoted an inflated price: "150,000 yen."

Her original intention was to make Lu Yu give up, because Lu Yu's behavior was indeed a bit stupid in her opinion. So in order to prevent Lu Yu from really doing something stupid, she added: "150,000 is just the lowest price. It may be higher depending on the market."

However, in response to Ijichi Hoshika's kind reminder, Sagiha gave a direct answer: "300,000 yen."

"???"

"I'll pay 300,000 a day, and I won't charge an entrance fee. I'll also provide guests with free drinks, snacks, and small gifts!"

Ichichi Hoshige: “???”

This guy, is there something fishy in his brain?

"Arnold... this gentleman..."

"Just call me Lu Yu. Manager, you are older than me, so there is no need to use honorifics."
