After Jiang Ning dealt with Wang Meina and her mother, he returned to the villa.
He opened his Huayin account and was genuinely startled – his follower count had skyrocketed to over 3 million.
The rapid increase left him somewhat numb. He thought to himself, Wow, that many? I guess the Huayin platform is helping out, pushing my videos into a bigger traffic pool.
Jiang Ning had a background in computer science and understood the platform rules perfectly.
He knew that relying on organic traffic alone, there was no way he could gain followers at this speed. Even with the culinary school's assistance, it wouldn't be this fast.
Jiang Ning knew that on Huayin, he could start live streaming with only 50,000 followers.
Now, his follower count had far surpassed that standard.
The comment section was filled with messages urging him to start live streaming.
Everyone expressed that as soon as the live stream started, they would eagerly send gifts and go crazy with them.
Jiang Ning was thinking that if he streamed once a week, he might earn enough money to cover a month's salary.
However, this was just his wishful thinking; he wasn't sure if it would work out.
After all, among the people watching the live stream, not everyone was there to learn cooking, and many of them had families.
They might just want to gain experience and not necessarily be willing to spend money on gifts.
Besides comments, Jiang Ning also received a large number of private messages, with many people leaving their contact information, hoping he would call them back.
Most of them were from hotels and restaurants, extending an olive branch and inviting him to be a chef.
There were also some culinary schools that wanted to hire him as a mentor.
Jiang Ning thought, I can start streaming when I have time.
However, I just registered a Huayin account today, so there's no rush to make money. It's better to film a few more videos first, and then make plans.
An hour later, Mengmeng's crying came from upstairs.
Hearing the sound, Jiang Ning hurried towards Mengmeng's bedroom.
He saw Mengmeng sitting on the bed, rubbing her eyes with her hands, crying her heart out.
Jiang Ning quickly went forward and gently comforted her, "Mengmeng, what's wrong?"
Mengmeng sniffled and said, "Uncle Jiang, Mengmeng wet the bed..."
Jiang Ning gently coaxed her, "It's okay, Mengmeng, be good, don't cry, don't cry. It's perfectly normal for kids to wet the bed!"
Mengmeng explained through her tears, "Mengmeng hasn't wet the bed for a long time, but today I had a dream. I dreamed I went to the bathroom, and then..."
Jiang Ning soothed with a smile, "Don't cry, don't cry. Your uncle still wet the bed when he was six years old!"
"Really?" Mengmeng's eyes were teary, with a hint of doubt.
"Really!"
Hearing this, Mengmeng stopped crying and smiled, her eyes curving into crescents, "Hehe, Uncle Jiang is so shy. Mengmeng definitely won't wet the bed when I'm six!"
Kids are like that; once they have a comparison, they don't feel so ashamed of wetting the bed anymore.
Seeing Mengmeng's mood improve, Jiang Ning also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Alright, Mengmeng, get up. Uncle will change your clothes for you."
Mengmeng nodded obediently, "Okay."
Jiang Ning changed Mengmeng's clothes and replaced the soiled bedding.
Mengmeng looked at Jiang Ning with anticipation in her eyes: "Uncle Jiang, can I go to the entertainment room to play with the new toys?"
"Of course! Uncle will go with you, but you can only play for half an hour, okay? Then we'll draw, write, and study math."
Mengmeng nodded vigorously: "Mengmeng knows, just a little while."
The two of them arrived at the entertainment room, looking at the two large bags of toys.
Mengmeng looked at everything, touching this and that, unable to put any of them down, as if she wanted to play with them all immediately.
"Which toy does Mengmeng want to play with?"
Jiang Ning asked, watching Mengmeng's conflicted expression.
"Let's get this Barbie Doll."
After much deliberation, Mengmeng chose the Barbie Doll dress-up set.
This toy set included a Barbie Doll, various clothes, pants, different hairstyle accessories, a comb, and rubber bands.
Jiang Ning said with a smile, "Alright, Uncle will open it up now."
He was secretly puzzled. Generally, girls liked these kinds of toys, but why had Mengmeng chosen airplanes, tanks, and guns before, all toys that boys liked?
He guessed that she had seen them at the orphanage and, out of curiosity, wanted to have them for herself.
"Mengmeng, how about we change Barbie's clothes and do her hair?"
"Yes, yes!" Mengmeng clapped her hands excitedly.
The Barbie Doll dress-up set was all about matching outfits and hairstyles.
Five minutes later.
"Ding—"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Top-Level Fashion Design Skill."
In an instant, a massive amount of fashion design concepts, aesthetic knowledge, information on fabric materials, pattern-making techniques, and even data on the evolution of global fashion history flooded Jiang Ning's mind.
His eyes became sharp, and he gained a touch of the artist's temperament in his gestures.
However, this change was very subtle.
Only those who knew him well could vaguely sense the transformation in his demeanor.
Unlike the way martial arts cultivation improves, which allows one to see obvious changes in the body.
"System, no way? Just directly top-level?"
Jiang Ning was both surprised and delighted, still finding it hard to believe.
The System responded: "Host, stop being so paranoid.
You already have drawing skills and your own aesthetic sense. There's nothing strange about obtaining the Top-Level Fashion Design Skill."
Jiang Ning said helplessly, "Alright, I guess I'm overthinking it."
Deep down, he had actually hoped the System would directly give him a god-level skill, but that was obviously unrealistic.
After digesting the information in his mind, Jiang Ning asked, "System, how big is the gap between my current design ability and those world-renowned designers?"
The System answered, "Of course there's a gap. They're at the Grandmaster level, and you're only at the top level, which makes you a second-tier fashion designer. There are only about a dozen people worldwide who have reached the Grandmaster level."
Jiang Ning pressed, "Then, can my design skills rank in the top dozen?"
The System was ruthless, "Host, what are you even thinking? There are three or four hundred second-tier designers worldwide. You've just entered the top tier, so you're probably around three or four hundredth place."
Jiang Ning was speechless, "..."
Seeing Jiang Ning's disappointment, the System comforted, "But don't be discouraged, Host. As long as you keep playing with Mengmeng, your design skills will definitely improve rapidly.
The System is constantly feeding you relevant information, just like your cooking skills, which are already at the mid-top level.
You just haven't realized you've been leveling up. It's not as obvious as when you directly gain a level, and a huge amount of information floods in."
"Oh, so that's how it is. No wonder when I'm cooking, things I hadn't thought of before just come to me, unknowingly."
"So the System actually injected skill information into me."
System: "What did you think? Did you come up with it on your own just like that?"
Jiang Ning: "Hehe, I was wrong. I was wrong. System-daren, you're the best!"
System: "..."
Jiang Ning continued to ask, "System, but I only have three months with Mengmeng. After those three months, after I leave Mengmeng, will the System take back all these skills?"
System: "No, these have already been given to you, so naturally, they are yours. The System will not take them back."
Jiang Ning patted his chest: "Phew, that's good, that's good."
Seeing Jiang Ning patting his chest and exhaling, Mengmeng asked with confusion, "Uncle Jiang, what's wrong?"
