Leisurely Traveler with Check-in System

Chapter 65: Chapter 64: This Can... Be Monetized?

The evening breeze, mixed with the coolness of seawater and the smell of barbecue smoke, blows onto the sweaty skin, feeling comfortable.

Just now, in the crowd, that feeling was indeed a bit floating. The crowd automatically parted a path, and the gaze from those eyes, mixed with a bit of something else, was quite enjoyable for Li Younan to see.

Jing Chaoyi’s little gaze was dazzlingly bright.

When Li Younan slipped into the crowd, people automatically made space for him.

Those gathered here were more or less interested in parkour, or were simply part of the parkour circle. Apart from that, there was a bunch of young people pursuing coolness.

Li Younan could naturally feel that their gazes towards him had changed somewhat.

In this era, the concept of masters among the people has gradually disappeared, and Li Younan made everyone feel a kind of Renaissance-like absurdity.

Fortunately, it was already approaching evening, and as the light gradually dimmed, the nighttime youth carnival began. In the hazy atmosphere, Li Younan quickly disappeared from sight.

Jing Chaoyi’s gaze puzzled Li Younan a bit. He coughed and asked, ”Why are you looking at me like that?”

Jing Chaoyi pursed her lips and, somewhat aggrieved, said, ”What? I didn’t even know, Senior, you’re so amazing. The host said your level is world-class, is that true?”

Li Younan shook his head and said, ”That’s nonsense, how could it be world-class? Just some athletic foundation, practicing casually for a couple of days, mastering a little bit of basic introductory moves. It’s just that I’m in good physical condition, so it looks decent when I do it. And there’s another possibility, which is that the specifications of this competition aren’t very high. You know, every competition loves to tout something as world-class, when it might just be some amateur competition with foreign participants.”

Li Younan explained earnestly.

Jing Chaoyi blinked and lowered her head, ”Oh, I see.”

It seemed to make sense. Because her roller skating competition had a similar routine, the organizers invited a few unknown foreign athletes to participate, and then rebranded it as some international invitational, and started selling tickets.

She raised her head again, her eyes bright, ”But I think it’s already amazing. Senior, I think you looked super cool flying in the sky! Can you fly once more?”

”Of course not, the god of parkour told me that the number of flights per day is fixed, exceeding that is not allowed.”

”Senior!”

”Hey... Let me show you a move that every real man should know...”

”Hu!”

”Wow, so cool, Senior, what’s that called?”

”Webster.”

It was right to sneak out.

The sky darkened, neon lights flashed wildly, music thumped against the chest. While lively, it was too noisy. Now, it’s quiet, just him and Jing Chaoyi, leisurely walking back.

The two gradually moved away from the beach, the loud sound of speakers still echoing in the air.

Li Younan sighed slightly...

But... was the commotion just now a bit too big?

”World-class” was shouted out...

If his college dorm mates saw it, his phone would be blown up—

”Bro, when did you become a parkour god?”

Just thinking about the noisy voices gave him a headache.

While not quite a supernatural phenomenon, it’s still quite incredible.

At that time, he hadn’t thought much, just felt that Zhou Xiaotiao was pitiful, and the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, he should do something...

Had Zhou Xiaotiao cried for himself, Li Younan wouldn’t have been so moved.

But... it’s been years since graduation, who hasn’t got a secret or two? Just say I practiced a bit after starting work.

Originally, he had some foundation and he’s still young.

Parkour? Besides the circle being self-indulgent, you’re more likely to see square dancing on TikTok than this.

Never mind, thinking too much is tiring.

He casually turned off the ”people you may know” recommendations.

Having had his fun, there’s no need to be anxious here.

The boat will straighten when it reaches the bridge, should anyone ask, just play dumb.

”Huh? Really? I just jumped around a bit, you guys are too exaggerated.”

Bluff his way through.

He walked slowly, letting these thoughts sink back into his heart.

”Wait for me a bit! I forgot something!” Suddenly, Li Younan shouted to the absent-minded Jing Chaoyi, and without waiting for her to react, he ran back.

The evening wind whipped past his ears.

The expression on Jing Chaoyi’s face froze, her mouth twitching slightly.

Several leaves swirled on the ground.

Li Younan ran back to the beach in one breath, panting, searching around, finally finding his buddy among the crowd, then strode over: ”Good thing you’re still here!”

The person looked bewildered, it was the guy who had helped Li Younan film with a stabilizer that afternoon.

Materials secured, high-definition!

As he strolled back, under the streetlight, Jing Chaoyi was squatting, her little head nodding up and down, poking at the ground with her finger idly—

Li Younan leaned over to take a look...

Jing Chaoyi, sleepy, was wrestling with ants.

”Let’s go!” Li Younan smiled and tapped her on the head.

She murmured, rubbed her eyes, stood up, looking dazed.

The sea breeze, the sleepy junior, the creation in his hand...

Li Younan felt that this was the present moment.

...

Previously, Brother Long said they would use his parkour as material to create a project, for which Li Younan also filmed some preliminary video materials, all shot according to Brother Long’s requirements.

He sent everything to Brother Long in one go, and also casually mentioned what happened today to Brother Long.

However, Brother Long hadn’t replied right away, the messages sent were all unread.

That’s how Brother Long is, probably hasn’t gotten up yet.

...

Back at the temporary rental, Li Younan opened the short video platform.

He currently had only two videos below his profile.

The first video was his response to the somersault video from the flip streamer, lacking quality but coincidentally garnering 30,000 likes.

However, as of now, its growth seemed limited.

And the second video was of him experiencing as an extra in Hengdian, re-edited and produced by Brother Long, reaching 40,000 likes in just two days, with thousands of comments so abundant that even Li Younan was too lazy to read.

It was still continually increasing.

And his follower count reached 17,000.

Li Younan also posted a video that Brother Long made, focusing on selling points of culinary skills, to his profile.

This video, compared to the previous two, appeared much more everyday.

Yet Brother Long’s unique editing style and script kept the entire video immersed in a warm atmosphere, using soothing and tranquil background music, having a kind of magic that keeps the viewer engaged despite lacking much storytelling.

Brother Long’s involvement made a noticeable difference.

Uploading the edited cooking video by Brother Long, watching the progress bar complete, Li Younan felt a lazy satisfaction of finishing a small task.

Having accomplished the third video, Li Younan then opened the panel to look at today’s gained skill—the woodworking skill.

Honestly, this skill is quite helpful for him at this stage!

Since he slept one night on the car last time, he’s been wanting to customize an upgrade for the Cruiser, starting with making a bed in the car, and the woodworking skill is undoubtedly the easiest skill to realize.

Li Younan had also seen quite a few cases on short video platforms where off-road vehicles were converted into bed cars.

The most comfortable was of course making a fully adapted custom fit through woodworking according to the car body.

While daydreaming, his fingers slid and browsed the private messages, a ton of little red dots.

Most glanced at and passed.

Sliding through...

Hmm? This one’s a bit unusual.

”Hello, could we discuss a business collaboration?”

Business collaboration?

Looking for me?

With just these fans?

Could this... make money?

His fingertips hovered on the screen for a second. Outside the window was the faint city undercurrent, the distant beach clamor seemed muted.

Hmm, let’s talk about it tomorrow, too tired now.
