CHAPTER 287: CHAPTER 167: ISN’T THIS JUST EASY AT A GLANCE? WHAT’S SO HARD ABOUT IT?

"Just by this Flying Divine Sword in a friendly match, I can destroy Zhongnan First Peak!"

The young man’s passionate and grand voice echoed through the sky, followed by a sword coming from the west, like a meteor, falling from beyond the heavens, dazzling and brilliant, utterly magnificent!

Boom~

The Sword Intent that pierced the heavens and the earth stirred an unbelievable tide of Primordial Qi, directly demolishing a towering and majestic peak. After the loud noise, rocks shattered like rain.

The camera zoomed out, revealing the snow on the mountain cascading like a giant white wave, triggering an avalanche. The grand and splendid scene was even more thrilling than a movie.

In front of the drone camera, snowflakes danced in the air.

And in everyone’s view, the young swordsman with sword-like brows flew into the temples, standing with arms crossed, overlooking the mountains, displaying the demeanor of a Grandmaster.

"So handsome..."

Lii Yan’Er gaped in shock at the video.

Ye Qingzhou, with his handsome appearance and dressed in white Swordsman’s Armor, simply stood atop the mountain, exuding a sharp vigor like a sword.

The Sword Intent that shattered the peak with one blow was absolutely shocking.

Ye Qingzhou’s Martial Arts possessed a unique beauty full of violence.

Lii Yan’Er admitted she was a bit starstruck. Compared to those so-called pretty boys and popular idols, as a Martial Artist, she appreciated Ye Qingzhou’s masculine aura more.

In this video, Ye Qingzhou successfully combined strength and charisma perfectly; truly handsome and capable!

Lii Yan’Er sent a message to Ye Qingzhou on Transmission: "Hey, do you mind if I use your video for a duet?"

Originally, Lii Yan’Er planned to just give Ye Qingzhou a like and mention him a few times during her livestream as a way to help promote.

But after watching Ye Qingzhou’s video, she suddenly felt that this video had the potential to go viral.

So, Lii Yan’Er had a little thought—perhaps she could share in the spotlight!

After thinking it over, she decided to make a duet.

A duet, where the screen is split, one side shows another’s video, while the other shows one’s own video. Usually, it’s done with a very popular video to gain traffic.

"No problem."

In no time, Ye Qingzhou’s reply came through.

"Great!"

Lii Yan’Er excitedly stood up, quickly opened her wardrobe, and began taking out the ancient costumes she often wore when shooting videos, already having an idea of how to shoot it.

"Just by this Flying Divine Sword in a friendly match, I can destroy Zhongnan First Peak!"

On the right side of the screen is Ye Qingzhou, dressed in white Swordsman’s Armor, looking elegant yet sharp as he speaks.

On the left side of the screen is Lii Yan’Er in a red, grand, and elegant costume, showing off her fiery figure without doubt, smiling as she looks ahead, simultaneously giving a clear shout, "Just by this Flying Divine Sword in a friendly match, I can destroy Zhongnan First Peak!"

However, Ye Qingzhou’s Flying Divine Sword shattered a mountain peak, while Lii Yan’Er’s sword only broke a vase in the living room.

A subtitle appeared: Mom’s favorite vase.

Obviously, lacking in strength, she intended to ride on Ye Qingzhou’s coattails, taking a humorous and goofy route with "beaten by mom" antics.

After finishing the video, Lii Yan’Er carefully revised it several times, and once she was sure there were no issues, she breathed a long sigh of relief and then clicked publish.

By that time, Ye Qingzhou’s video had been published for over an hour. Lii Yan’Er checked it again, finding 158 likes and 54 comments, which was a decent performance.

DouYin will promote videos based on their subject matter and location.

There is also an implicit advancement mechanism, based on an internal algorithm. During the first round of promotion, if the video gains a certain amount of views, likes, and comments in a limited time, it determines whether the video will receive a second round of promotion.

If a newbie uploads a video and finds that its likes and comments haven’t increased after a few days, it means the video failed to advance. Subsequent promotion resources won’t be given by DouYin unless money is spent on promotion.

Otherwise, no one would likely see such a non-traffic-attracting video again.

It is said that the algorithm of novel websites works similarly. If a book doesn’t become popular initially, no matter how much is written later, it won’t receive recommendation resources, eventually fading into obscurity.

Lii Yan’Er, having done livestreams for over half a year, studied hard and summarized a set of patterns for Douyin’s promotion mechanisms.

According to her judgment, Ye Qingzhou’s video should pass the first round of promotion, and coupled with her posted duet video, it’s sure to go further in the second round of promotion.

Though Lii Yan’Er isn’t particularly popular, her fan count has at least surpassed the 50,000 mark.

Excluding some zombie accounts and less active ones, at least half of her followers should see the video, and Lii Yan’Er is confident she can capture their attention.

Elsewhere, Ye Qingzhou, with school on winter break, stayed home and didn’t go anywhere.

At six in the evening, two hours after Ye Qingzhou posted the video, the like count barely surpassed 30,000, and the comment count exceeded 1,000, which was decent.

By seven in the evening, the like count surged by 20,000 in an hour, breaking through the 50,000 mark, while comments also exceeded 2,000, overwhelmingly positive.

By eight in the evening, likes reached 70,000, and comments climbed to 3,708.
