ALL NOVEL
Chapter 93 93 - $10.000!
Unlike the other songs I had released, like The Lazy Song, All Of Me had a success I hadn't really imagined.
When I came back from the gig and looked at the number of views the song had, I was completely shocked.
[All Of Me - 111,673 views] +111,673 views.
This song had gotten over 100k views in less than 24 hours!
Out of curiosity, I opened my MeTube Analytics to see how my channel had been doing over the past few days, and the results shocked me.

This month alone, I had already earned more than $11,000 from my social media!
If I added up how much I would make from the shows I'm doing and the artwork I'm finishing, my income would be over $15,000 for the month, even if the channel didn't get as many views anymore, but considering how much it's growing, I'd probably get at least $20,000 for the month when I add it all up!
I couldn't have imagined the leap it would make.
From the $4,000 I made last month with the channel to the $20,000 I would probably make this month was a growth of at least 5 times!
Looking at these numbers, a huge smile appeared on my face.
Wondering what I could buy with this money after paying off the family debts, I got curious and decided to open the car website to have a look.
To my surprise, there was a huge difference between this world and my previous one.
While in my previous world, the price of imported Japanese cars was so high that it was completely unfeasible to buy a car like my two dreams, in this world, the price of these cars was much lower and fairer.
Especially when I saw the price of the three great cars that I loved, the Honda NSX, Nissan GTR R34 and Toyota Supra MK4... the price of these three cars, which was as high as a new luxury car, in this world were really priced like vintage cars!
Looking for the reason, I think I've found it.
While in my previous world there was a movie that increased the popularity of these cars by making the car culture almost idolize these Japanese sports cars, in this world there was never such a movie!
In this world, there was no Dominic Toretto and Bryan O'Conner!
This means that the culture of idolizing and customizing this style of car was something completely underground, something that only a small fraction of the really hardcore car guys in this hobby did.
Looking at the price of a blue Honda NSX, which in my previous world would have cost at least $100,000, in this world that car was selling for only $30,000!
That was an amount I still couldn't afford, but next month, wouldn't it be possible?
This could help me develop another hobby to take my mind off things, and I could focus on learning how to customize my car and work on the mechanics of it...
Of course, I wasn't just looking at the NSX, I also wanted to build up my collection of Supra, GTR, RX7, among others, but for now I think I want to set my sights on the NSX.
Not to mention that since there is no F&F in this world, it wouldn't be a bad idea to try to make that movie?
To do that, I'd have to train my acting skills, something I could start doing now for a few minutes a day until they were at a satisfactory level by the time I needed them.
The next day, I woke up in a good mood, and to my surprise, when I went down to the basement, Ethan was playing my game on my laptop non-stop, to the point that I was surprised that he was already using mods on the music to make it harder, after he had managed to get SS on the music on easy difficulty.
Smiling happily that he liked my game, I got ready and started my morning workout routine.
My weight had already dropped to 79.5 kg, which wasn't as fast as before, but every day I noticed that my muscles were getting more defined in my body and my appearance was getting better and better.
[+1 CHA]
To my surprise, after such a long time, I finally received another Charisma point, giving me 14 base Charisma points +1 point from the haircut, leaving me with 15 Charisma points.
At this point, receiving a Charisma point was not as glaring a difference as it had been in the beginning, but since I was thinner, it was also easier to notice the small, subtle changes.
What I did notice changed this time was the shape of my nose, which became thinner and more delicate, as well as my jaw, which became a little wider, and, unbelievably, my eyes, which became a little brighter.
It wasn't that my eyes glowed in the dark or anything, but rather that my eyes were now a shade of blue that seemed to sparkle when someone looked at me.
This became even more noticeable when I noticed Liv and my parents staring into my eyes for a few seconds, lost in thought, which I pretended not to notice and just acted naturally.
Since Ethan was using my laptop to play games, I took out his tablet and put on an acting class video to watch.
My sense of acting was as low as any normal person's.
I had never practiced or been interested in practicing anything like this in my previous world, so I had to learn everything slowly.
Since today was Sunday, and it was my day to go out for lunch with my family, in addition to the duties I had to perform in my daily routine before it was time to go out and do my show, I only managed to unlock the acting skill at Lv 1.
[Acting Mastery Lv 1:
Effect: Develop an enhanced understanding of acting techniques, increasing your confidence and skill by 1%. This level includes advanced skills in technique, emotional expression, and character interpretation. It also improves retention of theatrical theory and practical application during performance by 1%. Gain a tangible advantage by absorbing the fundamentals of agile and expressive acting].
With this new skill, the knowledge from 1 month of acting training came to my mind and I felt that I could start to interpret simple things.
When I tested my current level, I realized that it was much easier for me to act in different ways than I normally would, but I was still at such a low level that I couldn't rely on it for anything because it was obvious that I wasn't like that.
But if I practiced it every day for a few months, wouldn't it get to the point where by the time I needed it, I'd be at a high enough level that I wouldn't embarrass myself?
I laughed it off and enjoyed the rest of the day with my parents, picking up my phone every now and then to check the song and video views and respond to a few comments.
I didn't have the courage to open my Instabram messages around my family because I knew that some photos that weren't very family friendly might appear, so I settled for just replying to the MeTube comments.
When my parents found out how much I could earn from MeTube the following month, the relief was palpable for both of us.
But my dad also talked to me about not feeling like money was infinite and that I should spend it wisely, and encouraged me to invest some of that money as collateral, which wasn't a bad idea.
I was terrible at investing in my previous world, but with System in this world, couldn't it become easy after months of study?
So one more thing for me to devote myself to was added to my list, but with less priority than the other things for the time being.
Although investments will be useful in the future, for now I want to focus on laying a solid foundation for my artistic career so that I can develop smoothly, and then I can focus on these other less important things.
[Noah, the show for the wedding this Friday has been confirmed, have you talked to the two artists who will be part of your backing band at the show?] Selena sent me a message asking me to confirm.
With the certainty that the couple would want me to perform at the show, with a budget of $3,000, I could pay Mark $400 and Frank $400, plus other expenses, and end up with $1,300.
Could I take the $800 for myself and perform alone? Yes, of course, but in the end I'd still be tired and I'd miss an opportunity to make a better impression on the audience.
I'm confident that as long as my show and my songs are as good as they can be, even if I earn less now, it will come back to me in the future!
