Chapter 5 Explosive Popularity
The next morning, Su Jiaojiao woke up because she was hungry.
She opened her eyes; a faint morning light was already filtering into the attic.
The sparrows outside the window were chirping away.
The air was no longer as muggy as yesterday, but rather had a touch of morning coolness.
She stretched and unexpectedly discovered...
My body feels much lighter than yesterday.
The soreness in my knees lessened a bit when I got up.
"Good morning, my dear host!"
The system's soft, sweet voice echoed in my mind, still carrying a slight nasal tone from just waking up.
"Take a look at your body data, there's a surprise!"
With a thought, Su Jiaojiao's pink system panel immediately floated in front of her.
The soft light seemed especially warm in the dim attic:
[Host: Su Jiaojiao]
Age: 22
Appearance Level: Level 1 (Weight 299 catties, improved skin radiance)
Acne continued to subside, and hair smoothness significantly improved.
Body measurements: Height 158cm, Weight 299 catties
Waist circumference 178cm, leg length 80cm, arm circumference 49.5cm
Skin condition: Hydrated and refreshed, red and swollen pimples have mostly subsided.
Acne scars lighten in color, pores shrink further.
[Hair condition: Smooth and silky, split ends reduced by 60%, hair color brightened]
[Talent/Skill: Vocal Talent (Initially Activated)]
[Affection Points: 5350]
[System Balance: 0 yuan (Love Points can be exchanged for cash at a 1:1 ratio, minimum exchange 1000 points)]
Wow! I've really lost weight again!
Su Jiaojiao exclaimed in surprise, looking down at her belly.
Although it's still a lot of excess fat, it really does look a size smaller than yesterday.
My waistline has also decreased by one centimeter.
The skin feels incredibly smooth.
Those annoying acne scars have faded a lot.
It was no longer that menacing dark red.
"Of course! 'Slow weight loss' is a continuous buff."
Lose a fixed 0.5 catties every day and stick to it.
Soon I'll be able to say goodbye to my chubby little body!
The little dumpling proudly wiggled its virtual body.
"Honey, should we exchange for 'Basic Singing Skills' today?"
With the right techniques, your voice will be more captivating.
Collecting affection points will also be faster!
Su Jiaojiao nodded; this was exactly what she had planned.
What she lacks most right now is a way to quickly accumulate affection points.
Singing is currently the only thing she's good at.
5000 affection points were instantly deducted, leaving only 350 affection points on the panel.
"Received! Basic singing techniques are working!"
The moment the system notification sound ended
Su Jiaojiao felt a flood of knowledge pouring into her mind.
Techniques for vocalization, breathing, articulation, and transposition.
It was as if it were engraved in her bones.
She cleared her throat and tried singing a line from yesterday's song.
The voice was indeed much more stable than before, and the transitions at the end of the notes were smooth and natural.
The already sweet tone of her voice was amplified, making it exceptionally moving.
"That's amazing!"
Su Jiaojiao clapped her hands excitedly, now that she had this skill!
She has more confidence in today's live stream and her Fuyin performance.
She quickly washed up and splashed water on her face.
Skin feels refreshed and not tight
My hair is still short and rough, but it's become much smoother.
She gently combed it with the comb, and surprisingly, there were no knots.
She found a relatively clean old T-shirt and put it on.
Although she was still as big as a sack, she was in an exceptionally good mood.
For breakfast, she didn't cook instant noodles again, but instead rummaged through the corner and found the last handful of millet.
This was something she had previously been reluctant to eat; today she wanted to treat herself well.
Simmering over low heat, the aroma of millet porridge gradually fills the air.
She then brought out the sweet and sour pork ribs that she had brought back as takeout the night before.
Although it was a bit cold, it went well with the soft and sticky millet porridge.
She still ate with great relish.
"Honey, remember to eat plenty of vegetables to get more vitamins, that will make your skin even better!"
Tuanzi reminded her from the side.
Su Jiaojiao nodded and kept those words in mind.
She currently has 350 affection points, although not enough to exchange for cash.
But with a little more effort, I'll soon be able to go to the supermarket to buy fresh ingredients.
After finishing breakfast, Su Jiaojiao couldn't wait to open the talisman.
Yesterday, she posted a video of herself singing "A Little Sweet" a cappella, just to give it a try.
There was only darkness in the video.
She didn't even dare to show a hint of her figure.
The moment I opened the app, my phone started vibrating like crazy.
The message notifications kept popping up, almost causing the phone to slip from her hand.
Her hands trembled as she clicked on the artwork, her eyes widening instantly—
The video "A Little Sweet" has already reached 1.2 million views.
150,000 likes and over 4,000 comments
The number of followers jumped from 0 to 18,000.
User A: What an amazing voice!
It's so sweet it warms my heart! I've listened to it on repeat twenty times already!
[User B: Your voice is so sweet, you must be super pretty too! Please show your face!]
User C: Help!
The ending note of that phrase melted my heart; even as a girl, I was completely smitten!
User D: Requesting more works!
I've already followed, looking forward to seeing your live stream!
[User E: It's a shame this voice isn't that of a singer!]
To her even greater surprise, the affection value on the system panel had actually increased to 8350 points!
"Honey, host! Fu Yin's work is a huge hit!"
Tuanzi's voice was even more excited than hers.
"A regular like is worth 1 point, a comment is worth 2 points, and following is worth 3 points."
Several good-looking users even gave it 5 points of affection!
Su Jiaojiao's eyes welled up slightly as she read these heartwarming comments.
She had never been praised by so many people before.
Those harsh, mocking, and disdainful looks permeated almost her entire adolescence.
She took a deep breath and replied to each question in a sweet, soft voice.
Sincere and enthusiastic attitude
Thank you everyone for your support!
"I'll be posting a new video today, so stay tuned!"
Her reply excited her fans even more, and the comment section went viral.
The affection level is also constantly fluctuating.
Riding the wave of popularity, Su Jiaojiao chose "A Little Happiness," a song with a slightly higher difficulty level.
Sing earnestly using the newly unlocked techniques.
She specifically chose a picture of pink clouds as the background.
Accompanied by the hashtags #Healing #HiddenGemsSinger #AmazingCover
Clicked Publish
She received several like notifications right after posting the video.
But instead of staring at her phone, she kept the few dozen yuan she had left in her pocket.
As planned, I went to the nearby supermarket.
Walking down the familiar alley, Su Jiaojiao subconsciously wanted to lower her head.
She used to be most afraid of other people's gaze.
Those whispers and pointing fingers pierced her heart like needles.
But today, her steps were lighter than usual.
As she passed the breakfast shop at the alley entrance, the proprietress suddenly called out to her with a smile:
"Young lady, you look much better today!"
Su Jiaojiao suddenly stopped and looked up.
Seeing the proprietress holding a bowl of soy milk, her eyes were full of kindness.
Without the slightest disgust
Her heart felt as if it had been gently bumped by something.
She quickly whispered "thank you" and hurried forward.
[Affection Points +2]
The system notification sounded at the appropriate time.
"Honey, host! The landlady has given me 2 points of affection!"
"Tuanzi said happily."
Su Jiaojiao felt a warmth in her heart; it turned out that love points could be collected offline as well.
She straightened her back and stopped deliberately bowing her head.
Occasionally, someone would glance over, and she would try to give a slight smile.
Although there are still acne scars on my face
His smile looked a little goofy because of the extra weight, but it was genuine.
Many passersby smiled at her.
[Affection Points +1]
[Affection Points +1]
[Love Value +2]...
As we progressed, my affection level rose to 8520 points.
In the supermarket, Su Jiaojiao pushed a shopping cart
My eyes lit up when I saw the fresh ingredients on the shelf.
She used to be reluctant to buy these things, feeling they weren't good value for money.
I'd rather save the money to buy high-calorie snacks to comfort myself.
Now she understands: health is the most important thing.
She carefully selected the broccoli, carrots, lettuce, and tomatoes.
I took a little of everything.
Seeing the bright red strawberries, she hesitated for a moment; strawberries weren't cheap.
But she really hadn't eaten it in a long time.
She gritted her teeth and still took a box.
Finally, she chose a small piece of lean meat and a few eggs.
The cashier was a young man.
Seeing that she bought so many healthy ingredients
He said with a smile:
"Young lady, you seem to pay a lot of attention to health."
Su Jiaojiao raised her head and replied:
"Yes, I want to take good care of my health."
Her voice was so sweet and soft that the young man's ears turned red instantly.
He quickly lowered his head and scanned the code.
My fingers were trembling slightly.
"That's sixty-one yuan and seventy cents in total."
The voice sounded somewhat unnatural.
Su Jiaojiao paid the money and whispered as she took the bag.
"Thanks"
[Affection Points +3]
