Gamer Superstar Chapter 17: [Bonus Chapter] 17 - New Mission

When I got ho, my mom hadn't arrived with Olivia yet, as they were still going to Ethan's school to pick him up, so I quickly went to the computer in my room and used the phishing from Principal Adams' email to Jackson's email.

Unlike his dad, Jackson would probably take a while to reply, while I just minimized the tab and checked my Tube video.

[56,523 views 1,813 subscribers].

Looking at these numbers, I had a big smile on my face because I was just over 23,000 views away from the 4,000 hours I needed to monetize my channel!

As far as I knew, the RPM I would receive per thousand views would be around $0.70, but even though it was a low number, it would still be good extra money to receive.

Thinking about money, I had another idea.

Opening my phone, I realized that this world actually had an app called Spokify, which as you can imagine is a music streaming app, but since it was focused on music, the amount this app paid was much more than what Tube paid.

According to my research, every 1000 views on this app paid about $4, which was almost 6 tis more than Tube, but unlike Tube, on Spokify I could only post the song once, maybe twice, singing in a different style.

On Tube, on the other hand, I could post the song in an acoustic version, I could post a music video, I could post a collab, and of course I could also use the visibility of the channel to post vlogs and other things as the channel got bigger, generating a lot more potential revenue.

Not to ntion that Tube was much better for promoting my music and making a na for myself, while Spokify was better for those who already had a na and people were looking for them there.

At the mont, my music will probably get few views there, but over ti, keeping my profile updated there might surprise with so extra revenue from people who start looking for my music there to put on their playlists.

Just as I finished setting up my Spokify profile and posting the acoustic version of Numb, my mom arrived with Olivia and Ethan.

As expected, the first thing she did when she got ho was co into my room and ask .

"What happened, Noah? Why did you leave by yourself?" she asked, worried and suspicious.

Luckily, from the way she asked, she didn't know that I had missed class.

This school really sucked, they didn't even notify the parents when a student didn't show up for school?

At least I could use this to my advantage.

"It's okay, Mom. I felt a little bad in my last class and asked to leave early. Since I've always been a good student, they let go." I lied.

Still suspicious, my mother looked up and down and asked. "Why did you feel sick? Why didn't you call to pick you up?"

"I was feeling a little claustrophobic at school, I needed so fresh air, so I went back and took the ti to think about the next song I wanted to write." I said.

As soon as I told her about the song, she beca visibly depressed, which made feel very bad.

"Ah... okay..." She replied sadly as she turned and left the room.

If it was Noah from my old world, I probably wouldn't have cared, but with the mories of Noah from this world and the feelings I had for her, I felt like crap for saying that and making her feel bad again, so I couldn't control myself and explained.

"This new song isn't about you, Mom, don't worry. When the song is done, can I show it to you?" I asked.

Hearing my request and the explanation that she wouldn't be the subject of the next song, she beca more excited, but still a little sad. "Sure, when you're done call and I'll be the first to hear it."

Seeing her leave the room still a little shaken made feel bad.

Luckily, shortly after she left, Ethan ca into the room with his little backpack and asked to help him with his howork.

His happiness cheered up, and seeing my Teach skill level rising gave a small dose of dopamine to lift up.

[Teach Lv 15 -> Lv 16

Effect: When teaching others, as long as you know what you're teaching, they have a 16% greater chance of understanding what you're explaining].

With this buff, Ethan's improvent was clear as day. Content that he had struggled to learn in the past was now much easier for him!

This was good news for everyone, as Ethan was finally reaching the level of knowledge he should have for a child his age.

When I'd finished helping him with his howork, I decided to take advantage of the feeling I was getting and went to practice In The End so more.

Really, this feeling while practicing worked wonders with the speed of improvent I experienced.

[Singing Lv 22 -> Lv 23

Effect: 23% efficiency when practicing singing, 23% chance that whoever hears your voice when you sing will like what they hear].

[Guitar Lv 26 -> Lv 27

When you play guitar, you learn 27% faster and have a 27% greater chance that other people will enjoy listening to you play].

With the two skills increasing in level, I learned to play the song even faster, I might be able to record and post this song tomorrow.

[Ding! New mission!]

[Mission: Your first song was a success, now make a second song that will captivate the audience of the first song even more, to the point where they beco your true fans.

Goal: Gain 5,000 loyal fans before releasing the third song].

[Reward: ???]

[Accept?]

Of course I would accept it! Even if I didn't know what the reward would be, even if it was just 1 extra point in a statistic, what's the harm in trying to get more fans and make my second song captivate the public? Haha.

It's a good thing I decided to make the song In The End, because with this song, the chance of capturing those fans is very high... now there's only one question left... how do I know who my fan really is?

After accepting the mission, when I reopened the mission screen in System, I could see my completion rate.

[Current Loyal Fans: 91/5,000].

Damn, I'm only at 2%, and I don't even know how I got those numbers...

Maybe I could try to develop my virtual personality more? Make myself more approachable and let people see as a person and not just a voice singing a song?

I think that would be a good idea.

The ideal would be to just show myself in the videos, but with my current appearance, not only will it not help, but it will probably hinder the mission because people tend to like things that are more aesthetically pleasing, and as much as I am not aesthetically displeasing anymore since my charisma is already at 8, it would not be good if I just broke the expectation that the public has of , so I can stay in the dark until my appearance looks really good.

As for how to stay in the dark and still have a persona worthy of the public's admiration, the first thing that ca to mind was the band Gojirraz from my old world, who used cartoon characters to sing their songs in music videos, and it was so unique that it beca a whole symbolism for them.

For , I didn't want to do sothing as cartoonish as they did because they even had a character who was a zombie.

I sat down at the computer and opened the drawing program and started to put my ideas on paper.

One thing I really missed in this world was my bleached hair, so I decided to make my character with bleached hair on top, with a black base, and the hairstyle would be the sa as my current hair, but in a more cartoonish way.

The character's eyes would be blue like mine, and to give him more of a rock vibe, I gave him so tattoos.

For the art style, I obviously didn't use the furry style, even though that's the style I'm most used to at the mont.

The style I used was a mix of ani with a more cartoony style like the Gojirraz from my old world, which made it look like my character was between 13 and 17 years old.

It was a striking visual identity, but one that was still relatable, especially with the outfit I made, which looked like he was wearing a generic black band outfit, sothing I think the target audience for my songs would normally wear.

I know not everyone is like that, but forgive for generalizing.

With the character finished, all that was left was to make so animations, and the idea I had could be very good.

I made BV, the nickna I gave him, hold an old guitar while practicing in a room similar to mine, but in a cartoon version.

To realize my idea, I had to take the guitar and record myself playing the chorus of this song so that I could synchronize the animation of the character with the actual movent I was making, and damn, it turned out better than I imagined!

[Digital Illustration Lv 30 -> Lv 31]

Hell, my Digital Illustration skill even went up a level! After it reached level 30, the difficulty of leveling up increased a lot.

Creating the animation was more ti-consuming and complicated than I had imagined, so I had to take a lunch break before finishing it.

When I went downstairs for lunch, I ran into Olivia on the stairs, who stopped and stared at .

"Are you okay?" she asked worriedly.

"I'm better, did you see the picture?" I asked.

"Yes... I was furious, but I didn't know what to do... when I looked for you, you were nowhere to be found..." She said as she slumped her shoulders in frustration.

"I'm sorry, I could have talked to you before I left." I said as I put a hand on her shoulder.

"All right... did you manage to find out who did it?" she asked as she looked at expectantly.

"Yes, we probably won't see him or his father again after today." I said, smiling proudly.

"His father? Who was that?" She asked interestedly.

"Did you see Principal Adams' FaceShoot?" I asked with a laugh.

"No? Does that have anything to do with this?" She asked as she picked up her phone and quickly searched for his FaceShoot page.

"He's the father of the idiot who took that picture, I guess after what happened with his FaceShoot, neither of them will be showing up to school tomorrow." I replied, laughing as I walked down the stairs, leaving Olivia staring at her phone screen in shock.
