48 Chapter 48
Xia Mingzhu, the junior sister of Qingyun Sect, has been very bored recently.
Not only did she miss the final carnival on the night of the finals because her father was out of quarantine, but she had been under her father's watch since then and had no chance to go out at all.
"Mingzhu, you must practice diligently. Only the Golden Core Cultivation can resolve your deficiency."
"Mingzhu, you are weak, and the world outside is dangerous. Your parents are worried about you going out alone."
"Mingzhu, don't let your mood fluctuate too much. It can easily damage your heart meridians!"
In fact, she could understand her parents' good intentions. From childhood to adulthood, they had gone deep into the secret realm many times in order to obtain natural treasures to nourish their bodies. It was just that they were too nervous. At the age of sixteen or seventeen, she was really bored to be locked up at home all day to recuperate.
That day, she was sitting in her room, staring blankly at the ancient book she had read countless times. Suddenly, she heard her second senior brother shouting from outside the door: "Little Junior Sister! Little Junior Sister, look quickly!"
Before he could finish his words, the eldest senior brother behind him slapped him on the back: "Keep your voice down! If Master hears you, you'll be in trouble!"
So the second brother stuck out his tongue, and before the maids could arrive, he left behind a strange golden silk flower and ran away.
"This is the Hehuan Sect's new gadget. Don't let Master find out. We're leaving first!"
Xia Mingzhu was left alone and confused. She picked up the silk flower and examined it carefully for a long time but couldn't figure out what it was. Finally, she followed the normal usage of magic tools and gently injected a stream of spiritual power into it.
The golden silk flower grew threads and transformed into a pair of bracelets that wrapped around her wrists. At the same time, a strange screen appeared before her eyes. The rest of the screen was empty, with only a golden eye pattern in the upper right corner.
Xia Mingzhu clicked subconsciously, and after following the instructions to complete a series of steps such as registering an account, the screen in front of her finally turned into a page full of text.
Shangguan Huaijin of the Nishang women's group:
There is a full version of the song in the previous advertisement. I think the name of the song is "Ode to Spring"!
There seemed to be an image following it. Xia Mingzhu clicked it and saw sweet music like birdsong pouring out. Shangguan Huaijin was sitting under the window in a pink dress, and the peach trees outside were full of flowers.
The number of comments below has already exceeded 10,000, and most of them are fans praising her crazily.
Xia Mingzhu followed the tutorial and clicked to follow. When she swiped down, she found that it was Liu Pianpian's account.
Liu Pianpian from the Nichang women's group:
I had someone accompany me while I was practicing dancing today. I’m sharing it with you because it sounds so good!
The graceful dance moves accompanied by the sharp and melodious sounds of the pipa add a touch of lingering emotion, but it's a pity that the comments below don't seem very friendly.
Liu Pianpian's fan club president: Is Miss Pianpian preparing for her new album? She looks so beautiful! She's sure to be the most stunning!
At first, there were mostly friendly comments of praise, but later on it became a mess.
Tiandi Xiaoyao, a casual cultivator: "That pipa sound is Miss Luwu, right? You two are a perfect match. It's a shame to break up like this!"
Dancing Pianpian: What nonsense is that? Our Miss Pianpian is stunningly beautiful no matter who she partners with. She has nothing to do with Lvwu!
Tiandi Xiaoyao, a casual cultivator: Who's talking nonsense? Liu Pianpian and Lu Wu are the perfect pair! Liu Pianpian admitted it herself!
Pianpian dances: "That's to take care of Lvwu, okay? She was originally a bench player that no one cared about, and we Pianpian brought her to the finals. Aren't you satisfied? Can you rely on yourself in the future?"
Tiandi Xiaoyao, a casual cultivator: You! You are talking nonsense!
Still holding the Pipa, half-covered face: Did our Miss Luwu provoke you? She came here with good intentions to provide music, but ended up getting scolded in return, right?
Cuilv Meimei: Exactly! You guys are so amazing for debuting? You look down on the sixth place, right? Without Luwu's music, how about asking Liu Pianpian to dance for me?
Tit for Tat: Um...how about Miss Pianpian and Miss Shangguan team up in the future? What a perfect match!
Pianpian dance: You all give me ＊＊＊! Stay away from Miss Pianpian! ＊＊＊ ah! (The message has been deleted)
Later, for some reason, Shangguan Huaijin's fans got involved and started cursing at each other in the comment section. Liu Pianpian's fans were so angry that they challenged her to an offline fight. It's unknown whether it will eventually turn into a terrible bloody conflict.
"Why do we have to quarrel with each other... It's so scary..." Xia Mingzhu left the comment area with a sympathetic heart, followed all the member accounts including the "Nichang Girls Group Official Weibo" one by one, and then continued to check the Weibo posts posted by others.
This Wutong Eye is really lively. Not only do many players from the Hehuan Sect post their works and daily life on it, but even many ordinary cultivators share their lives on it.
For example, Xia Mingzhu accidentally came across an account called "Miss Shangguan No. 1 Spirit Stone Reserve", which posted many very high-definition photos of Shangguan Huaijin on stage. It was obvious that they spent a lot of money to buy the most expensive spirit stone to record the finals. They also showed off all the magazine-related support clothes and other products that Shangguan Huaijin had appeared in. Each one started at ten pieces, and the display filled the entire spacious room.
"This is too rich..." Xia Mingzhu couldn't help but gasp when she saw it. Even she, the daughter of the head of the sect, sighed like this. It can be seen how many spirit stones this warrior had invested.
In the latest video released, this wealthy monk is wearing training clothes and meditating in a room filled with Miss Shangguan's surroundings. Whenever he feels sleepy or tired, he opens his eyes and looks at her. He actually practiced for a whole day using this method.
The comments below are also very interesting.
Shangguan Huaijin deserves the title: Fellow Daoist, your cultivation method is truly astonishing...
Shangguan Huaijin's No. 2 Spirit Stone Reserve: How could you secretly cultivate without telling me? Just wait! I'm going to catch up on my progress tonight!
Jinse music appreciation enthusiast: My fellow Daoist, I don't mean to offend you, but the way your spiritual power is circulating seems to be a little wrong. The Baihui acupoint should... This way, the meridians can be unblocked.
Shangguan Huaijin's No. 1 Spirit Stone Reserve: I tried it and it works much smoother! You're amazing! This is the first time someone has noticed this problem in all these years!
Jinse music appreciation enthusiast: Thank you for your praise. I am just an ordinary music practitioner. There are very few people who practice Taoism through the use of the zither, so I feel a little lonely. If you have any questions about cultivation, you can contact me again. I will not leave the city that never sleeps recently.
In addition to Shangguan Huaijin's fans, there are many other fans of other contestants who post their works, which are basically various high-definition stage scenes and peripherals. Each account has attracted hundreds or thousands of like-minded followers. Everyone discusses their favorite contestants together below. Although there are occasional quarrels, most of the time they are in a happy mood.
The junior sister sat on the bed and was lost in thought. It was not until the sky gradually darkened and the room became blurry that she finally came to her senses: "Ah! It's already this time..."
In fact, there are many monks who are obsessed with love like her. Interesting things in life, special talents, problems in cultivation... all kinds of colorful content attract monks to open their Wutong Eyes, not to mention that their favorite contestants appear from time to time. In just a few days, everyone can no longer imagine life without Wutong Eyes.
Just like that, when everyone in the city that never sleeps was immersed in the pleasure of surfing the Internet, the first album of the girl group Neon Chang was finally about to be released.
Both the girl group's official Weibo and the fans' personal accounts were celebrating wildly. The overwhelming publicity and trailers together filled the fans' expectations. When there were still a few days before the release date, Ning Shu, contrary to her usual behavior, stayed in the interior space of the sacred tree and was busy for several days.
"Shu'er, why are you staying here instead of worrying about the album?" The sect leader looked at her busying with a little curiosity.
"Because I personally supervised the production of the album, the quality is guaranteed. I know there will be no problems. Now I am trying to find ways to stimulate fans to spend more, or to stimulate their emotions more."
Ning Shu was still busy manipulating the love thread without raising her head. She could vaguely see a brand new page taking shape:
"I'm upgrading the Wutongzhimu version. The new version will add a 'super topic' feature. When the time comes, like-minded fans will gather online, which will be more conducive to their unity."
Maybe it will be beneficial for them to unite and fight against each other.
"It sounds good, but is there any difference between this and the previous fan clubs?" the clan leader asked with interest.
"Of course there is a difference. Although it's currently limited to the City That Never Sleeps, sooner or later we will expand our network to the entire world! By then, it will be much more convenient and easier for monks to gather online than offline. Another thing..."
Ning Shu couldn't help but laugh out loud when she thought about what those fans who chased stars would go through:
"Now that our competition has come to an end, if we don't give our fans something to do, they'll easily become bored. So, I've set up a ranking system for the super topic. Only those with high fan base and high activity will be ranked at the top. Those old rivals will definitely not accept this, and they'll definitely fight over it..."
Isn’t this also a kind of “catfish effect”?
"So that's how it is. Shu'er is truly brilliant!" The Sect Master stroked Ning Shu's hair with approval, then curiously looked at a simpler program on the other side: "What is this?"
"This is used to stimulate sales. Fans can use the activation code on the album to create a guild, and there will be sales rankings between guilds. For example, if one fan creates a guild for Liu Pianpian, and another fan creates a guild for Shangguan Huaijin, then their fans will naturally gather together to compete with each other."
"I see. So, are there any rewards for the top-ranked players?"
"Actually, there isn't one, but it doesn't matter. Fans will give it their own meaning." Ning Shu finally finished her work. She pulled her mother's hand and came out from inside the sacred tree, her tone full of innocence:
"Anyway, fans really like the feeling of coming together for their idols and defeating others. We are just satisfying them."
Of course, in addition to these auxiliary measures, the players' personal publicity and promotion cannot be ignored. Ning Shu directly connected with the five members of the Nishang girl group through the love network: "Your account hasn't released the album promotion video today, right?"
Shangguan Huaijin: "Not yet, Young Master, I've been waiting for your notification."
Ning Shu: "Well, you can post them one by one. Oh, Tieying and Ye Baobao, remember to post them at the same time. Posting them at the same time will stimulate the enthusiasm of the couple fans."
Baby Ye: "Okay!"
Tieying: "Why on earth would someone have such wild thoughts just because of a Weibo post from the same time..."
Liu Pianpian: "Young Sect Master, can I bring Lu Wu along to check in? She's become a lot more popular since the last video!"
Ning Shu: "Okay, but it's too obvious that Lvwu is promoting her album. You two should release something else at a different time, something with flowers, grass, or animals, preferably something that has some subtle connection."
Liu Pianpian: "Received!"
