9 Partnership (1/2)

Sam didn't know how he would do to help Eric but anyway he'd just give him general advices he found on the net but this will be for later as he didn't have time at the moment, they decided to meet and discuss it this weekend.

After going back home he went to check his view count on YouTube, he had reached 230k views on the cover and 100k views on the live ”show”, after the explosive growth it had slowed down a lot but was still going up steadily.

'I need to find a way to boost my view count... if this goes on I'll earn less with youtube than any part time job...'He had been thinking about this for a moment already but couldn't think of any solution.

[Master please make a choice :

- temporary 24h +50 luck points.

- temporary 24h +50 leadership points.

The system is still absorbing energy, the energy required to open the shop should be accumulated during the next week.]

'It's been so long I didn't hear this voice but it still sound so good. I don't see any utility to leadership points at the moment, let's get the luck points and see what happens...”

When the HUD appeared in front of him, he didn't hesitate and clicked on the luck stat choice. A few seconds after his finger left the screen his phone started ringing.

'This can't be a coincidence, let's hope 68 luck points are enough to settle my financial issues.'

He picked up the phone and looked, the number wasn't one he knew. He answered and put the phone near his ear.

”Hello ? Is it mister Petit ?”

The voice sounded like a male voice but it was weirdly high pitched, Sam couldn't tell if it was a guy or a girl on the other side.

”Hello, it's me, who is it ?”

”Nice to meet you mister Petit, my name is Roland and I work for a guitar brand called ”Chords to the Core” and we've seen your videos, we'd like to have a long term partnership with you.”

He hadn't put his number anywhere on his YouTube channel so he was wondering how they actually got it but it wasn't important, this will solve his problems.

”Yeah I'm interested in the offer, would you like to meet to speak about it ?”

”Really ? Thank you very much, how about meeting tomorrow?”

Tomorrow was a school day but he couldn't care less, anyway since he had the system he didn't take school as seriously as he did, if he could make full use of the system's potential he could be the richest man alive without going to school anymore. Of course he still went to school as a parachute in case something unexpected happened.

The next day Sam sent Em to school and went by himself to a cafe downtown where he had to meet the representative of the brand. On the way he found a 50€ bill on the ground... luck was indeed on his side.

After a moment he made it to the cafe and sat down, the person he was looking for arrived a few minutes late and sat down in front of him. He was a man obviously as he had beard but was dressed as a woman and acted like a sissy.Sam felt a bit weird because he wasn't used to dealing with these kind of people, it was even the first time he had spoken with a travesti.

”Roland ?”

Sam stood up and shook his hand when he arrived in front of the table.

”It's me, you look better in real life than in the videos Sam.”

He actually said that while winking at him, Sam's whole body became cold and all the hair on his body stood up.

”Thanks, so let's speak about the partnership?”
