Gamer Superstar

Chapter 148 [Bonus Chapter] 148 - Really viral!

The next day, the first thing I did when I woke up was look at MeTube and see how many views 'Bailando' had.

[Bailando - 825,000 views] +632,000 views

When I saw that number, my eyes almost popped out of their sockets...

Almost a million views... this could reach a million views in 24 hours... Holy fuck!' I thought in shock, controlling myself so as not to make any noise and wake Ethan.

Out of curiosity, I opened the GAA website to check my popularity rank and was shocked.

[BlackVelvet - 611th -> 473rd E Rank].

In just one night... in just one night I had gone from over 700th to under the top 500!

With the speed at which I was growing, I could see that reaching the D rank in 10 days wouldn't be a problem!

As I went out to do my morning exercises, I tried to resist the urge to pick up my cell phone every 5 minutes to see the views of the song in my head all the time, but it was very difficult to control those impulses.

Luckily, running and saying hello to people along the way helped me push these thoughts out of my head.

Before long, I was back home enjoying a hot bath.

Thing

A notification came on my phone as I was getting dressed.

I stopped before I put on my shirt, stood shirtless, my body still slightly wet from the shower, and picked up my phone to see what it was.

[Laura: Heeey, your song is going viral!!!]

When I looked at the time and saw that it was still 07:03, I was surprised that Laura was already awake.

[Noah: You're up so early on a Sunday?]

[Laura: Ohh, you're up too?! :o]

[Noah: I did my morning workout... I usually sleep late on Sundays, but since I didn't play a gig last night, I went to bed early].

[Laura: This life as a musician... staying up late and partying all night... what a pain -_-]

[Noah: I wasn't complaining XD]

[Laura: Yeah... but congratulations on the success of 'Bailando'!!! I listened to one of your songs and was surprised by the new song, when I saw the number of views I was even more surprised! You'll reach the D rank soon!]

[Noah: Yeah! I'm shocked how well it's going!]

[Laura: Hehe, and how are you doing with your acting practice?] Discover 𝒏ew chapters at novelbi𝒏(.)co𝒎

[Noah: I'm not doing badly... learning on my own is a bit harder than at school, but I'm getting better fast].

Since I only had two acting lessons a week, and only one lesson after the test I did with Laura, my acting skill had only gone up 3 times, twice during the lesson and once while I was practicing at home.

[Acting Mastery Lv 16 -> 19].

I could have leveled up this skill once more by practicing at home during the week, but I had to spend so much time on 'Bailando' and editing the videos that I didn't manage to level up this skill to Lv 20...

But now that I'd finished that, my routine for the next week would be more relaxed.

Now, I didn't have a song to re-record and edit into a music video, I didn't have to work on the advertising campaign for this song, or even record a music video, I just had to edit the two vlogs I was going to post this week, and that would be fine.

[Laura: I know how hard it is to practice acting on your own, I also had problems when I first started practicing on my own, but after a while you get used to it :)].

[Noah: I think I'll get used to it too... but what about listening to my music in the morning? Which song did you want to listen to?]

[Laura: ...]

[Laura: I'm going to help my mom, bye]

[Noah: Hey!]

[Noah: Laura!]

[Noah: Hello?]

[Noah: Is anyone there?]

No matter how many messages I sent, Laura didn't answer.

Was she listening to Boyfriend?

Hehe, if it was Boyfriend, it would make sense for her to be like that...

Laughing, I grabbed my shirt and finished getting dressed while I grabbed my laptop and headed down to the basement.

With how busy I was, I didn't even have time to work on my game anymore since it was pretty low on my priorities, so I decided to use some of my time now to take care of it while leaving the rest of the day to practice acting.

At the current stage the game was at, it could theoretically be released to the public and get an acceptable or even potentially very good reception.

But that wasn't what I wanted, I didn't even need the money the game was going to earn me anymore, as my music and vlogs were earning me much more than I needed, so I just wanted to work on the game and perfect it until I felt the game was perfect.

When I got tired of programming the game, I could work on the artwork, when I got tired of the artwork, I could add more music, when I got tired of adding music, I could just play the game.

It was all a good way to relax and cool off from the madness that my life was becoming.

From such a simple and carefree routine to one that was so busy and exciting.

It was a big change for me, even more so now with a new challenge looming, becoming an actor!

Moments like that were great, and before I knew it, I'd been working on the game for three hours and my family had completely woken up.

And how did I find out? Liv made a point of letting me know.

"Noah, your song already has 1 million views!" She said excitedly as she ran down to the basement, still wearing her pink pajamas, with messy hair and possibly not even having brushed her teeth yet.

Ignoring how she was doing, I looked at the screen of her cell phone and was shocked to see the number on the screen.

[Bailando - 1,003,941 views]

"Fuck..." I let out through my mouth as I looked at those numbers.

When I opened MeTube from my laptop to look at it through my channel analytics, I was shocked to see that I had already gained over 20,000 subscribers with this song alone!

That put me at 280,000 subscribers!

I was tempted to check the GAA website to see how my rank was doing, but I controlled myself and left it for later.

Looking at the still slightly sleepy Liv in front of me, I smiled as I asked her. "Where do you want to celebrate?"

Hearing this, Liv's blue eyes sparkled as she thought. "Sushi! I want to eat sushi!"

"Sushi...?" I asked a little unsure.

"Do you have a problem with sushi...?" She also asked me a little uncertainly.

"I'm not a big fan of sushi..." I replied embarrassed.

"You're not a big fan of sushi? But you used to eat almost 100 pieces of sushi every time we bought it!" She asked me in shock.

Her words brought back the memory of the old Noah, and I realized that he really liked sushi.

But I didn't like it in my past life, would that taste of his pass on to me?

"Okay, let's have sushi for lunch then, but let's go to a sushi restaurant that has other restaurants nearby, I don't know if I still like it, if not I can have something else." I said, making her nod and a big smile appear on her face.

"Thanks Noah, and congratulations!" She hugged me before running off to her room to get ready.

With Liv excited about eating sushi, everyone quickly knew that my song had reached 1 million views in one day and that we were going to eat sushi to celebrate, so everyone started getting ready while I dedicated the rest of my time to the game.

When I got back, I would focus on practicing my acting.

Just like every time we had to leave the house, Ethan refused to ride in my dad's car and wanted me to ride on the back of his motorcycle.

And since my skill had increased by one level to [Motorcycle Driving Mastery Lv 10], I had a lot more experience and could do a lot more fun things with him on the back of the motorcycle, which contributed to him wanting to ride with me even more.

I won't deny that my pride was happy to see how much he wanted to come on the bike with me, and even happier when I saw that Liv had also picked up the second helmet and taken it to the car, possibly wanting to ride with me on the way back.

So when it was time to go, we looked for a place that sold sushi by weight, so I could go there, get a few pieces, see if I really liked it, and then decide if I wanted to eat it, we also looked for a place that had another restaurant next door.

The one we found had a Mexican restaurant nearby, which was fine with me.

It had been a long time since I had eaten Mexican food, so I would be satisfied even if I didn't like sushi.

And oh boy, how I wished I had, but the aversion to the texture of the raw fish came with me from my old world...

So I had to go to the Mexican food store to order some tacos and quesadillas to take to the Japanese restaurant next door.

But to my surprise, when I entered the store, the music playing in the background was very familiar to me.

Not only was it familiar, but it was my music.

And when I looked at the waitress and noticed her shocked expression, I didn't know if it was because my charisma stats were about to go up again and I had become even more handsome, or if she had recognized me.
