Chapter 22: Revenge
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After hearing what Gu Lu said, Jun Ci opened the small bottle without hesitation and took out a black… chocolate-looking pill, and ate it.
This thing was colorless and tasteless, and it was fine to just swallow it whole.
After eating it, Jun Ci also didn't have any special feeling.
"This medicine wouldn't interfere with anything, so Your Highness, you don't have to worry and can continue to go to class."
"Okay, Gu Lu, inform me if there's anything."
In order to prevent others from guessing what was going on, Jun Ci didn't have any expression on her face when she replied to Gu Lu.
Also, she was wearing a mask, so nobody could see.
"Alright, Your Highness."
Jun Ci went back to class again, and during lunch, she went to the school canteen to eat.
To be honest, Jun Ci found the food here quite hard to swallow.
After a few bites, Jun Ci couldn't take it anymore. She slammed her chopsticks down, stood up, and went out of the school grounds to buy something more edible.
Jun Ci, who still had some money from the scholarship, obviously wouldn't let herself suffer.
Probably because Gu Lu saw how much hardship Jun Ci had to go through and felt that it was unfair for her status as a crown prince, Gu Lu began to suggest something else.
"Actually, Your Highness, Gu Lu thought about it, and even if you write your novel at a faster pace, it will still need to take some time before you can earn any money. Furthermore, a movie would need the support of fans, so Gu Lu suggests that Your Highness create something now that can attract some fans. For example, create videos about the novel and upload them into a website with high traffic to build popularity."
Jun Ci was eating the food from the cleanest restaurant that Gu Lu had picked. When she heard Gu Lu's suggestion, she was stunned and replied in her head, "What ideas do you have, Gu Lu?"
"Your Highness, in the beginning, Gu Lu mentioned that this world is lacking in special effects and that Gu Lu has all the special effects knowledge from the interstellar era. Gu Lu can make use of the content from Your Highness' novel to create a video. Even if Your Highness is not popular, Gu Lu believes that this video would definitely cause a stir."
"Also, it would promote Your Highness' novel. With a fan base, Your Highness' novel will definitely become popular."
Jun Ci understood what Gu Lu had said.
That's right, she wasn't popular at all right now.
It would also take some time before her novel became popular.
Also, she was about to have her college entrance examinations and had to relocate soon.
Even if her school fees were free, in an expensive place like the capital, she had to prepare at least some amount of money, right?
If the videos could directly become popular, that would be the best idea for Jun Ci at this moment.
And she didn't have to show her face.
"Great idea, Gu Lu. We can start production right now."
Jun Ci knew that Gu Lu could create a video in minutes, but Gu Lu would need her content.
After Gu Lu created the video, she could take a look at the effects.
"Alright, Your Highness, Gu Lu needs to gather information about the development process of the scientific information technology in this world. It will help with Gu Lu's future productions. If Your Highness could wait for a while, Gu Lu will create a video and directly present it to Your Highness."
"Sure, I'm in no rush."
Of course she wasn't in a rush. After her meal, she was about to return to school.
But on the way back, Jun Ci was stopped.
There were a dozen sloppy thugs who blocked Jun Ci's path in an alley.
Gu Lu was gathering information at this moment, but still had time to explain to Jun Ci, "Your Highness, these are the idlers of the society that Yang Chengpeng, whom you had beaten up today, has found to take revenge."
