Tokyo: Simulation Begins with the Big Sister Next Door

After editing the necessary key information, An Zeliang clicked "Confirm".

[Video is in production... 1%]

While waiting, An Zeliang didn't sit idle. He checked his YouTube homepage and saw that his number of followers had reached over a million. Moreover, according to the backend data, even after accounting for the number of lost followers, there was a steady increase every day.

His fans are very loyal; almost every time he releases a new video, there are over a thousand comments, and the number of viewers watching online skyrockets to over a hundred thousand. They are very enthusiastic about following the series and actively interact with the audience, but there is a bit too little fan art.

Fan creations are also a good way to maintain popularity, and people who actively create fan creations are basically driven by love. They are not only loyal fans of the work, but also stable consumers of official merchandise.

"Hmm... I'll reply to fan creators like Hexagonal Snowflake more often in the future, give them a positive official attitude, and actively encourage fan creation."

An Zeliang thought that once his website was up and running, he could leverage the influence of second-hand creators to promote it. These people had many high-quality cosplayers around them, which would be perfect for his website.

Thinking about it that way, a million followers should be enough. Setting up a website can speed things up, and there's also a physical office location, staff, and so on...

pat.

An Zeliang didn't rush to start coding the website; instead, he casually searched for suitable office locations.

"Wow... Japan really is incredibly expensive..."

After carefully inspecting several places, An Zeliang couldn't help but sigh.

An eight-story building near the subway and the city center, with a total area of ​​just over 400 square meters, has an annual rent of 270 million yen...

That's right, it's 100 million!

Upon seeing this number, An Zeliang subconsciously converted it into Ha Long currency in his mind, which amounted to approximately 14 million...

And that doesn't even include the hundreds of thousands in property taxes each year, plus all sorts of miscellaneous cleaning and maintenance fees.

Hmm... how should I put it...

Considering that this eight-story building is close to the subway and the city center, such a high price is understandable.

However, An Zeliang felt that he could take his time and see. That's how business is sometimes. You have to be frugal where you have to be. Besides, he was planning to build a website, so he didn't need a physical office space. It was fine to take his time and see.

During the search, An Zeliang also took the opportunity to look into the possibility of using residential buildings as office buildings.

In China, many small companies use residential buildings as their offices, which is much cheaper.

Japan can do this too, but the land and residential buildings must be classified as mixed-use commercial and residential properties, and it's also very troublesome to relocate the company address afterwards.

After looking around for a while and gathering the information he needed, An Zeliang exited the search website. He didn't plan to go to see the houses in person. After all, he was different from other entrepreneurs; he had a simulation!

"Let's do a simulation tomorrow... or the day after tomorrow is fine too, to see which direction is better, and also to see what might happen after the website is set up, so we can take precautions."

After finishing his thoughts, An Zeliang opened the programming software and began typing rapidly on the keyboard, continuing to refine the website's programming so that it could be put into use immediately at the start of the next simulation.

Time always flies for programmers, and before he knew it, An Zeliang heard a notification in his ear.

[Video completed]

After quickly glancing at the video, An Zeliang clicked upload. Then, he stretched, walked around the room to loosen up his body, and gave himself a massage.

wrist.

After a series of relaxation activities, he returned to his computer and looked at the homepage.

Surprisingly, while the number of online viewers was relatively small, the number of comments exploded.

"It's here, it's finally here!"

"What should I do, guys? I'm a little scared to watch. Are they really going to change the lead actor...?"

"I'll put a butt here, and if someone reads it, they can kick me and give me a spoiler."

"... "

Most of the comments are from people with this kind of thinking, so it seems they were really hurt by the plot of the previous episode.

But the update was there, and although everyone in the comments said they didn't dare to watch it, the number of online users still skyrocketed in just a short while.

The hexagonal snowflake also came online again and replied to him.

"Let's see."

An Zeliang ignored it and lay back in his comfortable gaming chair, scrolling through his phone and watching the video of the girl dancing freely.

Just then, his phone rang. It was a message from Ibuki Yuki, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

"Anze, did you watch the latest episode of the anime?"

"Not yet," An Zeliang replied casually while watching the video.

"Me too... Never mind, there's no point in waiting any longer, I'll go see it now."

Ibuki Yuki sent another text message, and then disappeared without a trace.

After playing on his phone for a while, An Zeliang looked up again and found that the comments had shifted in direction.

"It's beautiful, it's fucking beautiful."

"Who exactly is that mysterious little boy? Why is his first job the protagonist gets right after starting a new life?!"

"Urgent! Urgent! Urgent! I am now the King of Urgent!"

"Author, stop lurking! Look at your update speed! Even the sows in the production team wouldn't dare to take a break like this. Where's the next episode? Hurry up!"

"... "

Meanwhile, the hexagonal snowflake who had previously said she would go see the animation has now posted a comment.

"I was prepared for the author to change the protagonist... but to my surprise, they didn't! They even developed a new storyline, established the protagonist's goals, and strengthened their motivation! It's clear the author put a lot of effort into this work..."

After the usual round of flowery compliments, the hexagonal snowflake commented directly.

"I'm not going to say anything more, I'll start making a new analysis video tonight!"

There's also a new tip at the end to encourage more updates, which shows that the author is not only generating content out of love but also supporting the author with their wallet, which is very thoughtful.

"Ding dong!"

Just as Anze Ryo was about to reply, another message popped up on his phone; it was from Ibuki Yuki again.

"Anze, you have to go watch the latest episode of the anime! It's seriously amazing! You don't have to worry about the plot going wrong at all. The quality is as good as ever, and it's even better than before!"

"let me tell you…"

Ding Dong!

Ding Dong!

The text messages kept coming in. An Zeliang spent a long time reading through all the compliments and analyses, and finally managed to glean a few words from between the lines... Go check out the update!

An Zeliang silently moved his fingers and replied with a message.

"Miss Ibuki, I'm reading the update right now."

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore."

Ibuki Yuki's effusive praise immediately stopped, and she fell silent after sending the message, as if disturbing others' viewing of anime updates was an unforgivable crime.

.

Hmm... It seems that Ibuki Yuki really likes the Lord of Mysteries anime. Once the website is up and running, we can use that as an incentive to get Ibuki Yuki to do some website promotion work.

Even... if the offer is high enough, maybe we can poach Ibuki Yuki to do live streaming?

dong dong!

As An Zeliang was thinking, there was a knock on the door, followed by Dongyue Feng's voice.

"Little Liang, are you asleep?"

"Not yet, Sister Fuyutsuki, is there something you need?"

An Zeliang walked over and opened the door, looking at Fuyuki Kaede with some confusion.

"Hmm... It's a holiday today, and your older sisters have been keeping you entertained, so you haven't had time to do your homework."

Dongyue Feng looked at An Zeliang with a hint of worry on his face.

"When I passed by your room just now, I noticed that your light was still on, and I could hear the sound of typing on a keyboard from time to time. I figured you must be doing your homework during your break..."

"Oh, I really feel bad about it."

After taking a shower, Dongyue Feng changed into a lace satin slip dress. The hem was neither too long nor too short, just covering her upper thighs, revealing a pair of fair and slender legs.

The freshly dried hair was fluffy and soft, smelling pleasant, with a few playful strands sticking up slightly.

As she spoke, Fuyuki Kaede raised the tray in her hand, on which was a cup of hot milk.

"I just ordered some takeout and bought you some hot milk and stuff. Here, have some to drink."

"Thank you, Sister Dongyue," An Zeliang said with a smile, taking the hot milk.

"But I'm not thirsty right now, I'll drink it later."

Upon hearing this, Dongyue Feng blinked, put her hands on her hips, and continued speaking in a serious tone.

"Little Liang, hot milk tastes best when it's hot. Besides, you're growing right now, so you need to drink more milk. What if you forget about it if it sits for too long?"

"Quick, finish it now, and I'll heat up another cup for you later. I'll make sure you drink it before bed."

Looking at the concerned expression on Dongyue Feng's face, An Zeliang finally nodded and picked up the cup of hot milk.

Sister Dongyue, you're such a nice person.

Chapter 164, Section 162: Traditional Chinese Medicine - Anze Liang, Hayano Hoshiko: I'm upstairs

Down!

An Zeliang looked at the milk in the glass with a thoughtful expression.

He remembered the strange package from Dongyue Feng that was labeled as computer parts.

If I haven't misunderstood, there must be a connection between the two. But logically speaking, shouldn't Fuyutsuki Kaede be more than capable of doing something like this?

This is illegal!

Just then, Dongyue Feng tilted her head and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Xiaoliang? Do you want some sugar or something? I'll go get it for you."

Aphrodisiacs are colorless and odorless, making them difficult to guard against. An Zeliang carefully examined the hot milk in his hand but couldn't find anything unusual, so he put it back on the table for the time being.

"No need, Sister Dongyue, I suddenly don't want to drink milk anymore." An Zeliang shook his head, wanting to see how Dongyue Feng would react.
