After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain-Chapter 261: Ridiculous Method

After watching the footage, Yu Wenlin looked absolutely thrilled.

“This is perfect! Once we post this video, the followers will pour in like crazy!”

After all, this was a real ghost encounter caught on camera!

He had Yun Xialan export the video and didn’t even want too much editing done—just a catchy title slapped on top, and voilà, a paranormal video was ready to go.

But just as they were about to post it, Yu Wenlin suddenly said, “I’m posting mine first. You guys wait an hour before you post yours.”

Qi Mai frowned. “Why?”

Zhang Can narrowed his eyes when he heard that. He instantly figured out what Yu Wenlin was up to.

“Because if everyone posts at the same time, traffic will be split.”

“The first person to post gets all the initial viewers. That means more people will follow them. Once people see that video, they’re less likely to watch the ones posted later—the click rate drops.”

What a well-calculated move.

Yu Wenlin didn’t deny it. He even spoke like it was perfectly reasonable: “You guys already have more followers than me. What’s wrong with me posting first and getting a bit more?”

“Heh.” Qi Mai let out a cold laugh. “And why the h*ll should we listen to you?”

Yu Wenlin just smirked, cocky and dismissive. “Oh yeah?”

He waved the video on his phone in front of them.

“Too bad the video’s in my hands now.”

With Qi Mai glaring at him, he confidently tapped the post button.

And sure enough, moments later, his phone started pinging like crazy—clearly getting tons of engagement.

“You!!”

Fuming, Qi Mai pulled out his phone, only to find that on the co-creator list, neither his nor Zhang Can’s names were listed. It was filled with nothing but deva team members!

He knew this shady bastard wouldn’t play fair!

Just as he was about to confront him, Zhang Can spoke in a low, firm voice:

“If you don’t add us as collaborators, I’ll report your video for violating our image rights. It’ll be taken down in under a minute.”

Yu Wenlin: “……”

F**k!

Why is this X Team guy so f***ing hard to deal with?!

In the end, Yu Wenlin had no choice but to grit his teeth and add both Zhang Can and Qi Mai’s names.

Zhang Can ignored his nasty glare and, after handling the video, stared thoughtfully at the dark figure on screen.

That silhouette… looked a lot like Bo Jingmo.

Zhang Can had been through specialized military training where they had to memorize the physical traits of wanted criminals and instantly pick them out from a group.

After seeing Bo Jingmo once, he had memorized his build and subtle facial features.

So what Qi Mai said was actually true—Bo Jingmo really was the ghost in this dungeon.

But the guy seemed more restrained than expected. In the first story, he only scared Quan Han a bit?

That didn’t quite match the intel his boss gave him.

As Zhang Can pondered this, he suddenly froze, eyes sharpening.

No…

Maybe it wasn’t that Bo Jingmo was being nice—he was just following the game description. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Because the intro clearly stated—“At first, nothing strange happened. The ghost’s revenge came later.”

So that’s why the man hadn’t made a move yet?

If that’s the case, how long would this “at first” phase even last?

Zhang Can had no way of knowing. He also couldn’t be sure if Bo Jingmo would target him eventually—after all, they didn’t know each other.

But!

Before entering the dungeon, his boss had told him: if Bo Jingmo ever attacks you, there’s one guaranteed method to survive.

Back then, when Zhang Can heard that ridiculous method, his face had been full of doubt.

“Is that seriously gonna work?”

Was this some kind of joke?

But his boss had been full of confidence, even vowed solemnly, “Trust me, it will work! And if you die, I swear on my life I’ll get you out myself!”

“……”

Thinking about how his organization was nearly bankrupt on points already, Zhang Can quietly shoved down his doubts.

Fine, maybe it really would work.

But for now, he figured he shouldn’t stick around with these people—especially not Yu Wenlin.

If he kept making videos with that guy, his own follower count would grow way too slowly.

Just as he was thinking about what kind of video to shoot next, a low voice whispered in his ear: “Zhang Can, how about we team up for the next one? Let those four film together.”

Zhang Can looked up. “You want to partner with me?”

It was Qi Mai. Though it was his first time meeting Zhang Can, the guy clearly had better character than Yu Wenlin—and had already helped him multiple times.

So Qi Mai nodded and confirmed, “Yeah, just the two of us filming. We split the screen time fifty-fifty. When one of us is acting, the other can hold the phone and film.”

Honestly, it was a solid plan.

Zhang Can was just about to agree when suddenly they heard Yu Wenlin cursing nearby.

“F**k!! What’s wrong with these viewers?!”

They paused, glancing over. Yu Wenlin was gripping his phone, eyebrows scrunched tight.

Zhang Can narrowed his eyes slightly, like he already had a hunch. He pulled out his phone and opened the video’s comment section.

Sure enough, the comments had taken a sharp turn. A bunch of viewers had caught on.

[You think we’re stupid? The footage flickers right there—it’s obviously edited. Whoever did the editing should be fired. That cut is embarrassingly bad.]

[Exactly. One second the corner’s empty, next second someone’s standing there. And weren’t the coughs supposed to have stopped? None of them noticed? Still kept playing? This whole thing screams staged.]

[LOL the only convincing part was that girl fainting. But she passed out without even seeing anything—talk about forced horror atmosphere.]

[That random guy who popped up looked creepy as hell, though. Bet he’s the one they hired to play the “ghost.”]

[Off topic, but dang that guy is tall… Can’t see his face, but you can tell from his build—dude’s got a great physique.]

[Same here. I’ve seen too many hot guys online (not proud), and that guy’s body? Top-tier. And they stuck him playing a ghost? What a waste.]

[Oh and I noticed something weird. The last collab video had seven creators. This one only has six?? I did a comparison and the missing one is Bo Jingmo. Then I matched the body type—and guess what? That “ghost dude” is definitely Bo Jingmo.]

[Unbelievable. They made the guy play the ghost and didn’t even credit him as a collaborator. What are they trying to say? That it wasn’t him in the video, but a real ghost? Or are they just bullying him for being too hot?]

[Insane. They're straight up isolating the guy. No wonder he only had five hundred followers. Meanwhile, the dude with ten thousand didn’t say a word about it. Unfollowed. Following the hot ghost instead. Teehee (#^.^#)]

And just like that, Yu Wenlin watched his follower count drop instead of rise—falling from five hundred to four hundred in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, Bo Jingmo’s followers skyrocketed from ten thousand to thirty thousand.

Yu Wenlin: “……”

Seriously… how does the internet run with a narrative this fast?!
