Chapter 49: [DiDe] New Feature: Industry Analysis
Huh?
Sun Wenhao was completely confused.
In his mind, Jiang Wan had always been a goddess-level figure.
She was like an ancient rich young lady living in a Jiangnan water town—excellent in every aspect.
Therefore, when usually interacting with Jiang Wan, Sun Wenhao was always exceptionally modest and polite, respecting her from the bottom of his heart, afraid that any small detail might cause her dislike.
He thought such gentle, considerate behavior would eventually move Jiang Wan, allowing him to win the beauty.
However, reality gave him a cruel punch.
The goddess in his heart was actually chatting happily with another man about improper topics!
Why?
Sun Wenhao couldn’t understand no matter how hard he tried, but he did understand a popular saying online.
Women generally don’t like honest men because they’re boring.
Was it because I usually kept too much distance when interacting with Jiang Wan, making her think we’re just friends?
Sun Wenhao suddenly felt some regret, thinking he should have been more proactive, but it was too late.
Of course, Lin Shen hadn’t expected Jiang Wan to pick up his joke either. After a moment of stunned silence, he backed down.
“Never mind, I’m afraid your fans will doxx and cyberbully me.”
“I thought you were quite brave.”
Jiang Wan smiled sweetly.
She knew Lin Shen was just making up an excuse to deflect the topic, so she looked at Sun Wenhao nearby.
“Let’s go, we’ll shoot at the country park first.”
Jiang Wan had two tasks for this weekend outdoor shoot.
One was a hanfu sponsorship deal.
Although she didn’t think the outfit she was wearing was particularly beautiful, since she’d accepted the advertisement, she had to do her job conscientiously.
The other purpose was shooting Douyin short videos.
Taking advantage of her current free time from her main job, Jiang Wan planned to shoot several videos to store up for posting after school started.
After all, maintaining update frequency was key to increasing views and retaining fans.
Country Park.
As a national 4A-level scenic area, the ecological environment here was excellent.
Blooming flowers, lush greenery, summer breezes carrying a hint of coolness.
So finding good shots was incredibly convenient.
“Yanwei, sit on the grass, turn to the side and look at me. Yes, smile.”
After Sun Wenhao directed Jiang Wan to pose to his satisfaction, he set up his camera and started shooting away.
His focused expression seemed to instantly enter work mode.
Lin Shen just stayed transparent on the side, lying on the grass and enjoying the breeze, quite leisurely.
Of course, sometimes inspiration would flash through his mind, and he’d take out his phone to capture Jiang Wan’s graceful figure in his photo album.
“Photography actually requires talent too—composition, lighting, angles, and so on. Just learning theoretical knowledge isn’t enough.”
Seeing Lin Shen take out his phone to photograph, Sun Wenhao casually glanced over.
The result was shocking—he was genuinely surprised and looked stunned.
Huh?
That actually looks pretty good!
Although Lin Shen’s photos couldn’t match professional camera quality due to using a phone.
But whether it was the “rule of thirds” for composing people with scenery, or the timing and angles of candid shots, everything was just right.
The beautiful natural scenery complemented Jiang Wan’s moving appearance perfectly, with interweaving light and shadow colors appearing quiet and beautiful.
“How is it?”
Lin Shen humbly asked for advice, making Sun Wenhao feel embarrassed and awkward. After hesitating for a long time, he squeezed out a sentence.
“Not… not bad.”
“Let me see.”
At this moment, Jiang Wan, who had been modeling, lifted her skirt and walked over, crouching beside Lin Shen to look at his photos. Her eyes immediately lit up.
“Not bad, Lin Shen little brother! Looks like you have real talent for being a photographer! Remember to send these to me later.”
“Okay.”
Lin Shen smiled slightly, his heart filled with faint pride and joy.
This “20% photography skill improvement” is really useful!
Just following instinct could produce good-looking photos—practically a divine tool for attracting girls!
Seeing Jiang Wan praise Lin Shen so much, Sun Wenhao immediately felt jealous.
So he specifically held up his camera to show his results.
“Yanwei, how are these shots?”
“They look great, Hao. Please help me take a few more.”
“You got it!”
Getting Jiang Wan’s praise, Sun Wenhao’s previously dejected mood became energetic again, full of shooting motivation.
Seeing this, Lin Shen’s smile grew wider.
However, he didn’t feel any dissatisfaction or resentment—instead, he found it quite interesting.
This kind of unrequited love plot that would only appear in school days, and he actually encountered it.
“How youthful.”
Lin Shen chuckled, found a shady spot, lay on the sloped grass with his hands behind his head, a dog-tail grass in his mouth, quietly watching the clouds roll by.
Sunlight filtered through the gaps between leaves, casting dappled shadows on his body. Gradually, his mind began to empty.
Freedom and comfort were perfectly embodied in this moment.
Having cheats is great!
Lin Shen sighed, took out his phone and opened the [DiDe] APP, finding that its task was indeed complete.

[Upgrade Task: Check in at the most vibrant, lively scene]
Item scratch cards?
This was a pleasant surprise for Lin Shen, as such additional rewards were rare.
All told, they’d only appeared four or five times.
Lin Shen analyzed that the trigger condition for additional rewards was probably when the cracked app upgraded to certain levels.
He swiped the screen to start the lottery.
[Congratulations on scratching the grand prize, 18,888!]
[Congratulations on scratching rare item: Industry Analysis (Permanent)*1]

「China Construction Bank: Your account ending in 7946 received RMB 18,888 on August 9 at 11:23. Current balance: 450,000」
Industry Analysis?
Lin Shen fell into thought, then tried clicking on this new function that appeared in the [DiDe] APP.
Soon, it popped up an AI Q&A-like interface.
[Please enter your keywords:]
After a moment’s consideration, Lin Shen filled in “Shanghai” and “pets,” and soon many data points appeared.
[Happy Cat Cattery: Acquisition price 700,000, annual return rate: -20%]
[Pet Love (Pet Supply Store): Partnership franchise starting at 400,000, annual return rate: 25%]
[Home Pet Medical: Minimum investment 750,000, annual dividend 200,000]
…
So that’s how it works!
When Lin Shen saw various green dots appearing on the [DiDe] APP, he suddenly understood the purpose of [Industry Analysis].
It could not only help you list industries for sale but even mark their profitability.
This was too amazing!
For the first time, Lin Shen felt that starting a business was such a simple matter.
Wouldn’t it mean that as long as he invested and acquired according to the industries given in the industry analysis, he would definitely make money?
