Rebirth: My Home Has Become a Gathering Place for Young Women with a "Crazy" Spirit

The weather in early summer is already quite hot, and business at hot pot restaurants is gradually slowing down, being replaced by barbecue.

This Brothers Hot Pot restaurant is the largest hot pot restaurant near Qin Lang's neighborhood. It has more than a dozen tables, but at 6:30 p.m., only three tables were occupied.

The hot pot restaurant owner looked worried and decided to change the sign to "Brothers BBQ" tomorrow.

However, by 6:40, the boss was grinning from ear to ear, his previously tense face now beaming with joy.

Looking at the crowded shop, he suddenly changed his mind and decided to wait a few days before switching to barbecue.

There were shirtless burly men and young couples, all their eyes fixed on Su Yue. A few of them were drinking and even whistling to cheer her on.

The room was already full, but people kept squeezing in through the door.

"Add a table! Quickly!"

"Boss, we can't add any more..."

Qin Lang watched Su Yue dancing energetically, a smile curving his lips. Putting aside Su Yue's other skills, her ability to attract attention was certainly remarkable.

"This girl is pretty good. She's got some skills and is outgoing. Maybe she could... make a living in the internet industry."

Su Yue danced until she was drenched in sweat, her hair sticking to her cheeks, but she danced with increasing abandon. Finally, she winked at Qin Lang, her tone tinged with self-satisfaction, and said, "Little Deng... Brother Lang, how was my dance? Was it good enough?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the men around him started whistling and cheering, creating a lively scene.

Qin Lang raised his hand to rub his temples, suppressing the amusement in his heart, and said calmly, "Not bad, stop jumping around, come and sit down to eat."

He didn't directly agree to let Su Yue stay, but he didn't kick her out either, which could be considered tacit agreement.

Upon hearing this, Su Yue's eyes lit up instantly. She immediately stopped what she was doing, ran back to her seat in a flash, grabbed her chopsticks, and started enthusiastically eating the meat in the pot. While eating, she said excitedly, "Don't worry, Brother Lang, as long as there's hot pot, I can make you a pot every day."

After swallowing the meat in her mouth, the girl leaned close to Qin Lang's ear and whispered, "I recently learned a new dance, and I can perform it for you when I get home."

Qin Lang frowned slightly, but did not reply. His gaze swept over the three people on the table.

Ruan Zhihuan buried his head in his rice, eating until his mouth was covered in oil, looking completely indifferent and indifferent, as if he was just enjoying his hot pot.

Xu Han quietly sipped her milk tea, her eyes as cold as ever, occasionally picking up a piece of food with her chopsticks, a stark contrast to the boisterous Su Yue.

I really don't know how this trio came together in the first place; they all have such different personalities.

Qin Lang's attention unconsciously lingered more on Xu Han. After all, this girl was the first person he had "simulated" since his rebirth.

Ruan Zhihuan was observant and noticed the unusual look in Qin Lang's eyes when he looked at Xu Han, but she didn't point it out.

After finishing his hot pot meal, Qin Lang got up, called the waiter, and paid the bill.

"Wait, wait! We can't take the money!"

Just as Qin Lang was about to scan the QR code to pay, the hot pot restaurant owner came running over excitedly, waving his hand generously and saying, "Brother, this bill's on me! Come again anytime, and feel free to bring your friends!"

Qin Lang didn't insist; it's foolish not to take advantage of a good deal. After all, Su Yue's "jump" today brought in at least seven or eight tables of customers, so the boss was guaranteed to make a profit.

After leaving the hot pot restaurant, Qin Lang led the three of them back to his home.

Upon entering, Ruan Zhihuan and Xu Han easily returned to their respective "territory," picked up their novels, and began immersive reading.

It was Su Yue's first time here, and she looked around curiously, glancing at the bookshelves full of novels and comics, and then going to the computer to watch Qin Lang edit silly animations.

"Brother Lang, your animation looks pretty silly, can you make money from it?" Su Yue couldn't contain her curiosity and leaned closer to Qin Lang, blinking her eyes as she asked.

Upon hearing this, Qin Lang didn't even look up: "Yes, not only can you make money, you can make a lot of money."

Qin Lang was confident in this much. Short videos and ACG culture were just emerging, and silly animation had low barriers to entry, lots of jokes, and spread quickly. With his creativity and funny storylines that were nearly ten years ahead of their time, it would be strange if it didn't become popular.

As for Su Yue, Qin Lang already had a preliminary plan in mind. This girl was eye-catching, outspoken, and had a natural ability to attract attention. She was a good candidate to become an internet celebrity and do live streaming, but now... the time was not right.

Upon hearing that she could make a lot of money, Su Yue's eyes lit up instantly, and she clung to Qin Lang, refusing to let go: "Brother Lang, Brother Lang, what about me? What can I do? You absolutely can't miss out on this opportunity to make big money!"

Qin Lang glanced at her and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, as long as you follow your brother Lang, I guarantee you'll be in the top ten of the richest women list in Liaobei City in the future."

Over the next few days, everyone was busy with their own things.

Besides reading novels, Ruan Zhihuan and Xu Han also need to draw silly characters for Qin Lang according to his various requirements.

Under Qin Lang's guidance, the two refined the characters and comedic storyboards of the silly animation to an increasingly sophisticated level.

As for Su Yue, she remained skeptical of Qin Lang's talk about "making big money," but figured that since he could afford hot pot, he should be able to mooch a few meals off him. These past few days, she'd been following Ruan Zhihuan and Xu Han, going to Qin Lang's place whenever she didn't have classes.

Qin Lang focused on post-production editing and adding humorous audio. He also took time each day to update two chapters of his fantasy novel, "The Undying Yuan Zun," published on a certain Chinese website.

Qin Lang was already very familiar with the eye-catching tropes of fantasy novels. The opening was fast-paced, followed by the underdog's rise to power, the arrival of divine weapons, and the slapping of the villains in the face. Various exciting moments were delivered in quick succession, and the plot did not drag at all.

It had only been a short time since its release, and even before a contract was signed, that it attracted many readers to leave messages urging for more updates.

The silly animation he uploaded to Bilibili has been updated to episode 15, ushering in the first small climax of the plot.

The nonsensical plot, catchy voice acting, and accurate jokes were gradually discovered by netizens, who started liking, giving coins, and sharing it.

After several days of fermentation, the hilarious animations have finally exploded on Bilibili...

Bilibili directly packaged Qin Lang's 15 videos and pushed them to the comedy section of its homepage, where the number of views skyrocketed at a visible speed.

Five hundred thousand, one million, five million... ten million... In just a few days, the total number of views exceeded fifty million, and it is still soaring.

The video's comments were so dense they filled the entire screen, almost obscuring the video itself. Many people would watch it with the comments off first, then turn them back on and watch it again.

The comments section is even more lively, with the number of comments exceeding 100,000.

"I can't stop laughing! What kind of hilarious, absurd animation is this? The plot is just too funny!"

"Original work? This uploader's imagination is amazing, I'm about to laugh myself to death."

"Update, update now! One-click four-link is ready!"

"That was a great job, here's a big reward!"
