Chen Jincheng drove to the dedicated airport parking lot and parked. Before getting out, he attached a micro-camera, the kind influencers use, to his collar. This would help him film his journey, and maybe something interesting would happen that he could edit into a video.

He was trying his hand at making some lifestyle vlogs.

Lifestyle vlogs are basically just sharing your daily life. For instance, his trip to Ganjiang University to choreograph a dance—the entire process from start to finish—would be a lifestyle vlog.

To be more specific, the Li Ziqi from another world was a perfect example of a niche lifestyle vlog.

Although the platform was still limited to 60-second clips and hadn’t entered the era of long-form vlogs, there was no harm in experimenting early.

After all, when Tiao Yin eventually enabled long-form videos and began promoting lifestyle vlogs, the platform produced a few god-tier, top-ranking influencers.

Of course, besides this small collar camera, there was also a type you could wear on your head.

This was the origin of the "man with a camera growing out of his head" meme.

But head-mounted cameras were typically used for interactive indoor shoots. It would be too awkward to wear one outside, which was why most people used small collar-mounted devices.

A lot of people online claim that some videos are too coincidental to be real and must be staged. And while some of the really cringey ones definitely are, others are genuine moments captured simply because the person’s camera was already rolling.

Chen Jincheng finished setting up the collar camera and concealed it slightly. Unless you got really close and looked carefully, it was impossible to spot.

Plenty of fans were following his trip to Ganjiang University, so he planned to make a video about it.

But he’d been getting a lot of attention lately, so to avoid any unnecessary trouble, he also put on a baseball cap and a mask.

"Alright, I’m at the airport, getting ready to check in and go through security," Chen Jincheng said with a smile after getting out of the car.

Of course, he wasn’t talking to himself. It was for the video edit later.

Unfortunately, nothing interesting happened while he was queuing to check in, going through security, or boarding the plane. He’d just have to fast-forward through this part of the footage in the final video.

On the plane, Chen Jincheng’s seat was on the aisle.

The window seat next to him was originally meant for Ximeng.

Girls always like the window seat so they can take pictures of the view outside.

Now that Ximeng had canceled her ticket, it had been booked by someone else: a young man who was actually pretty handsome.

"Excuse me, bro. Thanks." The young man greeted him with a wide smile. After squeezing past to the window seat, he offered an extroverted self-introduction. "Hey bro, meeting like this must be fate. I’m Han Zheng. But I gotta say, you wearing a hat and mask on a plane... you look like you’re about to stir up some trouble, straight out of a movie. Making me a little nervous."

Chen Jincheng was at a loss for words.

’Stir up trouble? What the hell?’

The guy was clearly a social butterfly.

’Still, what he just said would be great to edit into the video.’

’Being mistaken for a terrorist on a plane just for wearing a hat and mask would definitely be a catchy hook.’

After sitting down, the social butterfly Han Zheng pulled out his phone and started scrolling through videos. Chen Jincheng glanced over and saw that after only a couple of swipes, the guy had landed on one of his videos.

"Dude, you see what’s been going on with Chen Jincheng the past couple of days?" Han Zheng seemed really interested in the video and, in his typically forward way, turned to ask.

"Yeah, I’ve seen it," Chen Jincheng nodded.

This piqued Han Zheng’s interest. "That Luo Xiaozhu guy is just asking for it. I feel like he’s a bad dude, you know? It’s not normal for him to always have those dark circles under his eyes. I know this rich kid who parties hard every day, and he has the exact same kind of dark circles."

Chen Jincheng was stunned.

’Holy crap, did this guy just hit the nail on the head?’

’If I edit this into the video, Luo Xiaozhu will probably have a heart attack. The key is, Luo Xiaozhu has a guilty conscience, so he wouldn’t dare to make a scene. He’s terrified of attracting more attention. If the paparazzi start digging because of this, he’d be totally screwed.’

’Looks like my idea to film a video today was the right call. This is an unexpected bonus.’

But Han Zheng continued, "Still, you have to admit, Chen Jincheng is pretty amazing. All those dance videos he makes for the girls go viral. Most people would kill to have just one hit like that."

Hearing the guy praise him, Chen Jincheng played along. "Yeah, he’s incredible. I kind of look up to him, actually."

Han Zheng immediately shot back, "It’s not just you, man. I kind of worship him too. But honestly, I’m more jealous of him. From what I hear, all those Miss Chengs are his personal harem, including Zhang Ao’ai from the ’Booty Dance’ video."

Hearing this slander, Chen Jincheng immediately refuted it. "No way. How could he have that kind of charm? I feel like with his trashy personality, not a single girl on Second-Life Star would give him the time of day."

Han Zheng looked at Chen Jincheng like he was an idiot. "Dude, are you naive? That’s the Ancestral Master we’re talking about. You think they just gave him that title for fun? A lot of women love bad boys. I know more about a guy like Chen Jincheng than you do."

Chen Jincheng’s cheek twitched. He could only say awkwardly, "Man, you’ve got a point."

’I can already tell, once this video is edited, this segment alone will have the fans spamming ’666’ in the comments.’

"Ladies and gentlemen, the aircraft is about to take off. Please turn off your mobile phones or switch them to airplane mode..." At that moment, a flight attendant walked down the aisle, making the announcement to the passengers while checking that the overhead bins were securely closed.

"Dude, that flight attendant is gorgeous," Han Zheng said, impressed.

"Yeah!" Chen Jincheng had to agree. Her features were indeed stunning. A guy a few rows up was craning his neck to stare at her, looking like a total pervert.
