Chapter 202: Cultivators Also Like Daydreaming
Oh no.
The moment Little D fragrant heard Little D’s name, a wave of anxiety surged in her heart.
That was the name she feared hearing the most right now.
Of all the people to give celestial gifts to, why did it have to be that woman?
She was her only hard-earned sponsor!
If that woman snatched him away again, wouldn’t that be the worst luck ever?
No way.
No matter what, she had to keep this sponsor’s heart locked up with her.
Little Colorful Xia made up her mind and put on a pitiful expression.
“Young Master Sang~”
She deliberately snuggled closer to Young Master Sang and pouted, “Am I not prettier than that woman?”
“They’re all pretty, they’re all pretty.”
Young Master Sang chuckled, “I’ll give you one later too.”
“Thank you, Young Master Sang~”
Little Colorful Xia smiled sweetly on the surface, but inside she still felt a little sour.
It felt like all her hard work was just being skimmed off by some other capitalist.
No way.
She had to come up with a plan to turn him into her die-hard fan who only gifted her.
What should she do?
Dig up some dirt on Little D fragrant and spread bad words about her?
Or go for the heartfelt, I’ll tease you then pull back routine?
Who knows what this guy would fall for.
“However…”
Young Master Sang suddenly changed the subject, “About the advertising thing, we still have to run it.”
“You’re right. That little flower indeed isn’t as pretty as you, not worth running an ad for.”
“But since I’m out this time, my dad also told me to throw in an advertisement for my uncle’s company too.”
“Do you think it’ll work if you promote my uncle in your livestream?”
Upon hearing this, both Little Colorful Xia and Little D fragrant’s eyes lit up.
This guy.
He clearly didn’t know much about livestreaming.
Maybe they could trick him a bit and squeeze some cash out of him.
“Young Master Sang, you might not know.”
Little D fragrant immediately chimed in enthusiastically, “The popularity in our livestream depends on the gifts from fans.”
“As long as you gift more, our livestream will always be at the top, maintaining a huge viewership.”
“So, if you want your uncle’s advertisement to always stay in a prominent position, all you have to do is gift us a few celestial tokens to climb up the leaderboard—”
He was explaining it like a seasoned pro, but Young Master Sang raised an eyebrow in suspicion.
“You’re not trying to fool me, are you? How come I have to pay for both gifting and advertising?”
“Normally, yes. But you’re not an ordinary person, are you, Young Master Sang?”
Little D fragrant said with grand enthusiasm, “We’re one big happy family! You don’t need to pay the ad fee right now; just help us boost the heat, and that ad fee is nothing!”
“Is there really such a good deal? Gift and no ad fee?” Young Master Sang looked incredulous.
“Actually, the advertising fee goes into the company’s cut, which is much higher than the cut from livestream gifts. If you think of it in gift terms, you’ll end up spending less while we earn more—it’s a win-win!”
“This is called industry insider knowledge, which we wouldn’t tell just anyone.” Little D fragrant said mysteriously, “But you, Young Master Sang, are different. You’re a friend, so we definitely share this with you.”
He had read Young Master Sang’s psychology like a book.
Just show some sincerity and treat him like an insider, and he’d think you were being honest, building his trust massively.
As long as they could keep this cash tree in their livestream, the advertising fee was indeed a small matter.
“Now, what kind of advertisement do you need? If you haven’t prepared any samples, we have a professional ad production team. We definitely offer a huge discount for insiders like you—”
Young Master Sang was originally enjoying this.
But upon hearing that making an advertisement required extra cost, he couldn’t help but frown slightly.
Yet, he couldn’t let it show that he was worried about the money, so he waved his hand dramatically, “What are you saying? How could your ads possibly capture my uncle’s brilliance?”
“Don’t worry, my dad said he already found the top-notch advertisement service for my uncle. Just run the advertisement.”
“Yes, yes, yes…”
Little D fragrant didn’t dare to push too hard, afraid to irritate this golden goose.
In the end, they negotiated a bit more, and as soon as Young Master Sang delivered the completed advertisement, Little Colorful Xia’s livestream would feature it, and then Young Master Sang would gift her to boost the rankings.
The meeting ended on a joyful note.
At the end, Little Colorful Xia coyly invited Young Master Sang to stay for dinner, winking and constantly hinting at post-dinner activities.
But Young Master Sang found an excuse to decline.
Right now, he needed to rush back to the branch office; there were more important matters to discuss.

“Make our own advertisement?” Tang Yubbing said in confusion.
“Exactly.”
Young Master Sang patiently explained, “To maximize our gains, we can’t let those unscrupulous merchants make money off of the advertisement costs.”
“My goal is to blast our advertisement across the entire cultivation world with just one or two celestial tokens!”
“So, we’ll be making the advertisement ourselves.”
Tang Yubbing and Yan Rouwan exchanged confused glances, “But, we don’t know how to shoot ads. We don’t even know what to film.”
In truth, Young Master Sang hadn’t settled on the theme for the advertisement either.
At first, he thought about pulling in Tang Yubbing, Yan Rouwan, and even Shi Qingyan to form an idol group, shouting “Friendship and Hope” to save the company and become idols.
But then he realized that was asking too much of them.
And who knew if this world would even buy into that Japanese anime nonsense.
After all, if he were to start from scratch to make an advertisement, Young Master Sang faced plenty of issues.
Costs were low. He’d have to find actors nearby. Plus, there wasn’t a reliable scriptwriter or director.
Thinking about that, Young Master Sang began to feel a bit stressed.
Advertisements need to be intriguing enough to be memorable.
If they couldn’t even capture the audience’s interest, the ad’s effectiveness would plummet.
But what did folks in the cultivation world find interesting these days?
After pondering for a long time, he suddenly thought of something.
Although this was a cultivation world, there was one thing common to all people.
That is, everyone loves to daydream.
In his past life, he saw plenty of people leading unsatisfactory lives—ordinary shut-ins and regular folks—dreaming every day of traversing to another world, gaining power, and walking the path of a dragon among men, or the urban warrior returning to show off.
In the cultivation world, there were also many ordinary cultivators with less-than-stellar qualifications.
In a sense, they were all the same.
So, what’s the best way to hook these people in his past life?
…Short videos.
Young Master Sang pulled out his communication device and flipped through it.
Moments later, a script outline formed in his mind.
