A/N: Sorry, I am back with regular updates, nora_bueno. Thank you for your constant support, love. If you're reading this, then press and hold this paragraph and reply. I wanted to create a character named Nora. How about you give me some suggestions for it?

...............................

Seeing Mr. Beast from up close, Chris realized this man was almost as tall as him, but charisma-wise, well, yeah, not that high.

"Hello, Are you a model or something? Did they ask you for your permission? Are you allowed?"

As soon as Chris went up to Jimmy, aka Mr. Beast, he realized this man was actually very nice, first he extended his hand to shake with Chris, then asked with a smile.

"I am actually a high schooler, so don't worry about it."

"Eh? Alright, Camera Roll."

"HEY! ARE YOU SUBSCRIBED TO MR. BEAST?"

"On YouTube? I should be "

Chris's hand shook a little when he went for his phone, he can't say he was not nervous being on the camera. Pulling out his new iPhone, he opened his YouTube and searched Mr Beast, he knew he was subscribed, but he still was nervous about it.

"YOU ARE SUBSCRIBED. You can call any number, and if they receive it, both you and the person you're calling can get $10,000."

"Okay, I will FaceTime my sister."

"Alright, let's see if she picks it up."

Although he doesn't need that ten thousand, do you say no to money? He might just donate it somewhere, or he can give the whole amount to Mel.

*Riiinggggg* *Riiiingggggg*

"Chris? Where are you?"

"Mel… Hi!! Look at who I am with."

"Hello there. Wow, you siblings are very pretty."

"MR. BEAST!!! I watch all of your videos."

Jimmy, aka Mr Beast, was genuinely shocked when he saw Melissa. Both brother and sister were very handsome, you don't see this every day.

"You do? Aww! Your brother just won you ten thousand dollars!!!"

"Chris did? Wow, that's awesome."

Although the call lasted about three minutes, Mr Beast gave him two silver briefcases, but after the camera stopped rolling, the crew came in and took the briefcases from his hand, and Chris was taken to the side.

"Sir, Please give us your account, we will transfer the funds right away."

"So, I don't get to keep the briefcase?"

"Oh no! Ahaha, that's just a gimmick we use."

"Understood."

Chris directly gave Mel's account to the person that was sending the money, and they didn't hold back taxes at all, $20,000 was sent almost immediately.

"Oi, Chris, was it?"

Before he could take another step towards his old objective, the 'Samsung' store, he was called by Mr Beast himself, and turning around, Chris saw Jimmy running towards him.

"Yeah, Chris Harper."

"James Donaldson, Can I get your phone number? I like to think ahead, and I feel like Short With You will get viral, and would you be interested in doing a long-form video? It's like this: only appearing on one will get you around $10,000, and if it's a competition, $10,000 plus whatever you win."

Mr Beast was very direct about his approach, he just wanted the phone number for now. If the short does well, he will call Chris. As the number 1 YouTuber in the world, he does have an instinct for this, he was not collecting numbers of everyone he was shooting videos with.

"Sure, here."

Chris agreed in a heartbeat, there was no point in being a jerk about it, and he has a plan. If he really does appear next time, he can lie in a video. The lie can be big, and people watching from home may or may not believe him, but he's got to try.

With his new iPhone in hand, Chris walked ahead while the filming crew continued their stuff. What shocked Chris most was the sheer number of bodyguards they had with them.

There are at least 20 of them with guns, I guess being a super popular YouTuber with money does take its toll.

Crossing the road, he finally saw the Samsung store. Chris had no idea what he would get, but he didn't want to get that bigger-sized one that Grace uses.

"Welcome, Sir."

Unlike the Apple store, this Samsung store was not self-serve, there were enough salespersons for each and every customer. Their focus was customer service, unlike Apple, who couldn't care less about the customers. Samsung's shop looked like it was built to impress.

No wonder Mrs. Kim is so proud of her country.

"I want a flagship device that can compete with this one."

"Ah! Are you a tech influencer, sir?"

The lady who came with a smile asked with shock when she saw the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Usually normal people don't buy these together, if you're not an influencer, there's no need for you to get them together.

"No, I just wanted to use them together, it's not a problem, right?"

"Certainly not, please follow me. We have lots of options, mostly mid-range, but if you want something as powerful, I recommend the S24 Ultra."

She took him to a black couch, then gently pulled a small table in front of him. Other salespeople came with two display devices for him to check out.

"Both are 1TB variants, just the difference in color makes this one a bit unique. Matte red, performance-wise the same, just the 'Special Edition' will cost you $200 more."

Matte color actually looked very good on a big device like this, Chris especially liked the display of this thing, and it felt better than his iPhone.

"Fun Fact: the iPhone's display panel is bought from Samsung. "

Seeing Chris hesitate a little, she thought he would change his mind about buying it, so she inserted a line that shocked Chris, he was hesitating to get that special edition one or the normal one.

"So, I was not hallucinating. I felt like this display is better than an iPhone, so I was not wrong, but color calibration is where the iPhone wins. It doesn't matter, pack this one for me."

He took the red matte one, of course, and he felt like spending $200 more on a device he liked was not a waste of money, on the contrary, this is what he should do.
