Delta: The First Person at the Peak

Chapter 108 The Road Ahead

Jiang Feng didn't speak immediately. His gaze swept over the empty coffee cup in front of Fang Ningxue, and he raised his hand to the waiter not far away, saying, "Waiter, another cappuccino, please."

When he turned his head, his gaze had become more serious as he looked directly at Fang Ningxue:

"I admit, your plan is very thorough. But aren't you afraid that I'll take your analysis report and go find a well-established MCN to collaborate with?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Ningxue's eyebrows drooped instantly, her eyes looking at him pitifully with a hint of grievance, her voice soft and gentle:

"You wouldn't just freeload off a female classmate, would you?"

Jiang Feng was speechless for a moment. He subconsciously raised his hand to wave and explain, but he saw the grievance in Fang Ningxue's eyes disappear instantly, replaced by a relaxed and natural smile, and the confidence in her eyes was even greater than before.

"You think I only assessed your livestream content and skills? I've already investigated your character." Fang Ningxue tapped the table lightly with her fingertip.

"Your willingness to help your roommate with live streaming and your willingness to help classmates with poverty alleviation work demonstrates your character."

"Jiang, you are a good person."

Jiang Feng muttered to himself, "Praising someone is fine, but what does it mean to give someone a 'friend card'?"

She paused, then added, "Besides, you don't want to sign with an MCN at all. You rejected PDD's offers twice. If you were really interested, you would have signed the contract long ago—deep down, you don't want to be subordinate to anyone."

"That's a very good idea." Fang Ningxue's tone became a bit more serious. "Look at those MCN-controlled streamers, Li Ziqi's disputes, Li Jiaqi's passivity. Even the top ones can't escape the fate of being bound by capital. Those MCNs only treat you as a money-making tool. You're the employee, they're the bosses."

“But I’m different.” She leaned forward, her eyes clear. “I’m right here beside you. You are the absolute core, the boss. I’m just helping you serve your partner.”

Whose good fortune is this encounter today?

Jiang Feng suddenly remembered something, took out his phone, unlocked it, and handed it to Fang Ningxue: "Oh right, there's something else I haven't told you—my video has gone viral overseas."

The screen showed screenshots of playback and like data from overseas platforms, and he also mentioned the collaboration he had reached with Chen Yichen.

Fang Ningxue's eyes lit up instantly. She leaned closer to the screen and looked at it repeatedly, unable to hide her excitement:

"Excellent! That was a brilliant move!"

She quickly organized her thoughts and sped up her speech: "We can totally use this content to create hype, focusing on 'cultural and technological export.' We can also make a compilation of overseas comments, showing how foreigners praise you—that's exactly what Chinese people love!"

Seeing Fang Ningxue instantly switch to work mode and become organized, the last trace of hesitation in Jiang Feng's eyes completely disappeared, and a crisp smile appeared on his lips: "Then it's you I've decided on."

"I'll leave the company registration to you. Two companies: one is an MCN company, mainly consisting of me, you, and my three roommates, to start as a small MCN. We'll also register a club and work on that simultaneously."

"No problem." Fang Ningxue immediately agreed, her tone decisive. "I'll go and communicate with the school right away to try and get entrepreneurial support and subsidies. There's no need to rush. First, set up the framework. Once your traffic and influence reach a higher level, the subsequent procedures and resources will be smoother."

The external brain is now connected!

The moment the cooperation was finalized, Jiang Feng felt a sense of relief, and the direction ahead became exceptionally clear. He extended his hand, palm facing Fang Ningxue: "I hope our cooperation will be successful."

When their fingertips touched, Jiang Feng realized that although her hands were soft, there was a thin layer of calluses on her palms.

As they shook hands, he suddenly remembered the shares and paused slightly: "As for the shares... I haven't thought about it in detail yet. How many do you want?"

"10% is enough for me in the MCN," Fang Ningxue said frankly. "I'm not a famous streamer right now, so I can't compare to you. This percentage is reasonable. But for the club, I want 30%." After all, she is fully responsible for the club's operation, after-sales service, and management, and 30% of the shares is recognition of her contributions.

"Sure." Jiang Feng agreed without hesitation, then a thought flashed in his eyes, "I have an idea for the club—to be small but beautiful, to create engaging shows, to only find strong players, to package them as 'star players,' and once they gain fame, to transition them into streamers, thus forming a closed loop."

"This idea is fantastic! It's both precise and versatile." Fang Ningxue's eyes lit up. "When you stream your gaming sessions, you can keep an eye out for and discover top players."

When discussing serious matters, Jiang Feng was preoccupied with planning and strategy, completely ignoring Fang Ningxue's good looks. But once the conversation ended, he belatedly realized that having such a female partner was indeed a great advantage.

He couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "I'm quite puzzled. Your own live streams are progressing step by step, and they clearly have a promising future."

Jiang Feng checked Fang Ningxue's account. The videos were quite popular, and the content was about a cute girl with 0FPS basics going on a trip to Delta Force.

The video content is a cycle of aggressive attack – bankruptcy – running away – aggressive attack.

As time went on, Fang Ningxue's skills in the videos showed a clear improvement.

Perhaps Fang Ningxue doesn't like playing games, but her persistence day after day is admirable enough.

It's important to understand that there's a natural market for beautiful female game streamers, like Miss and Xiao Cang from League of Legends. Fang Ningxue is clearly a super-enhanced version in terms of looks, so her future is limitless.

"I've assessed it myself, and my commercial value is far inferior to yours," Fang Ningxue said calmly, revealing only her clear understanding.

"Then you could totally go the route of becoming a beauty streamer and easily gain fans," Jiang Feng added.

Fang Ningxue looked up at him, a faint smile curving her lips: "You think I can live a comfortable life just by relying on my looks, right?"

Seeing that Jiang Feng was about to speak, she smiled and waved her hand, "You don't need to feel offended. My face has indeed given me a lot of convenience. But I know one thing clearly—every gift of fate has already secretly come with a price."

She suddenly changed the subject, her gaze gradually becoming distant: "Do you still remember 'The Song of the Pipa' that we learned in high school?"

Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment. With his half-high school education, he had no idea what "The Song of the Pipa" was. He could only blink awkwardly.

"Um…………"

Fang Ningxue softly recited: "Young men from the Five Mausoleums vied to shower her with gifts, countless bolts of red silk for a single song. This year's laughter will continue into next year, as autumn moons and spring breezes pass by idly."

"And then?" She paused, a hint of clarity creeping into her voice, "The gate is deserted, horses and carriages are few and far between; the eldest daughter marries a merchant. In the dead of night, she dreams of her youth, and weeps in her dream, tears staining her makeup red."

"Learn from history. History has already provided the answers to some questions."

Jiang Feng quickly nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, you're right."

Seeing his slightly flustered appearance, Fang Ningxue couldn't help but chuckle, her tone teasing: "Jiang, you still need to study hard. You need to work on your English too."

She then changed the subject, her tone becoming serious: "It's good that you don't swear during your live streams, but I still hope you can improve yourself. Your skills will eventually decline, but your personal charm is what lasts."

"Think about it again. If you become the number one person in Delta, what will happen next? Delta has 3 million daily active users. If one tenth of them know you, one percent like you, and one thousandth are your die-hard fans—how much influence would that be?"

"With your good looks, you might even be able to make it in the entertainment industry someday and compete for a top spot. You don't want to be all looks and no substance, just playing games and becoming a hopeless illiterate, do you?"

"He who does not plan for the long term cannot plan for the short term; he who does not plan for the whole cannot plan for a part." Fang Ningxue looked at Jiang Feng with sincere eyes, "Your future is as vast as the stars and as boundless as the sea."

Jiang Feng was surprised that Fang Ningxue thought so highly of him. He nodded solemnly, "Thank you for reminding me."

The two smiled at each other, the sunlight streaming through the window falling warmly between them, even the aroma of coffee in the air felt comforting.

Unbeknownst to them, two heads were furtively pressed against the floor-to-ceiling windows of the coffee shop, their eyes wide open.

They were two boys from the same department who had arranged to buy coffee. As they passed by the window, the sharp-eyed one spotted Jiang Feng and Fang Ningxue inside.

He quickly tugged at the sleeve of the person next to him, lowered his voice, and said excitedly, "Look! It's Jiang Feng! And Fang Ningxue!"

"Holy crap?! They're on a date?!"

Another boy followed his gaze, his eyes widening instantly, and said:

"A handsome man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match!"

Then he subconsciously took out his phone and pointed the camera at the two people inside the glass window.

"Isn't it inappropriate for us to take photos secretly?" My roommate hesitated for a moment.

"What do you mean by 'secretly filming'? This is called witnessing history!" The man holding the phone said confidently. "Didn't you see Zhang Jindong's Douyin account? He filmed Jiang Feng running in PE class, with the caption 'The Movement of the Wind,' and it got over a thousand likes!"

As he spoke, he leaned closer to the phone screen, adjusting the angle to try and capture a clear shot of the two of them together, his grin almost reaching his ears: "This is witnessing the romantic moment of the Wind God, understand?"

"I've already thought of the text to send out."

"Let's call it a date with the wind!"
