Weibo Giveaway and New Memes

After receiving the 50 Stamina Value points sent by the system, Lin Chuan's body felt pleasantly warm.

He stepped onto a scale to weigh himself.

There was no major change in Lin Chuan's weight, which was still perfectly normal, but he could clearly feel that his muscles had become firmer.

He was much stronger too.

If he went running now, Lin Chuan was confident he could finish five kilometers at a pace under four minutes per kilometer.

Lin Chuan had always enjoyed running, but he had kept his pace between five and six minutes per kilometer, the so-called health-conscious jog.

A few days later, quite a few fans showed off the merchandise they had received.

After posting on Weibo, they also received plenty of reposts.

Many Spoon Killer Demon fans lamented this.

Spoon Killer Demon merchandise was great in every way, except the quality was too high. It lacked the minimalist style from Spoon Killer Demon itself.

Lin Chuan truly had not considered that.

After all, when they had filmed Spoon Killer Demon—

The cloak worn by the Spoon Killer Demon had actually been made by dyeing a bedsheet black and cutting it up.

He couldn't exactly mail that to the fans, could he?

Aside from the giveaway, Lin Chuan also sent some merchandise to people who had made notable contributions to Spoon Killer Demon's view count.

For example, the popular Weibo photographer Wang Dong, along with other major influencers who had reposted and recommended Spoon Killer Demon.

Wang Dong was quite happy when he received the Spoon Killer Demon merchandise.

He had never expected that a casual recommendation of his would earn him merchandise personally sent by the director.

"This director is pretty thoughtful!"

Wang Dong thought to himself.

But when he opened the package and saw the serial numbers on the spoon, cloak, and mask—

He opened his computer, entered the number, clicked search, and sighed.

"I didn't expect him to be this thoughtful!"

After receiving the merchandise, a bold idea emerged in Wang Dong's mind.

Could he do a cosplay shoot using this Spoon Killer Demon outfit?

The moment he thought of it, he acted. Wang Dong immediately sent Lin Chuan a private message.

He asked whether he could obtain commercial authorization.

He wanted to shoot a female version of the Spoon Killer Demon.

When Lin Chuan received the message, his expression became somewhat strange.

He had not only just learned that Huaguo's netizens were bold.

After all, on Earth in the Parallel Universe, someone had once said: as long as you're bold enough, Sadako can go on maternity leave.

People had even come up with topics like making Sadako have a second child.

But Lin Chuan had not expected that this bizarre trend still existed on Blue Star.

After thinking it over, Lin Chuan agreed to Wang Dong's request.

However, he added a line when replying to Wang Dong's private message.

"Sure, cosplay however you like. But Old Wang, remember this: your kink can be niche, but it can't be twisted!"

After receiving Lin Chuan's approval, Wang Dong was excited and immediately began the shoot.

Blue Star was extremely strict about copyright protection. Without Lin Chuan's permission, Wang Dong's Spoon Killer Demon cosplay shoot might have been considered infringement.

Since he was a commercial photographer, as long as there was a chance he could profit from Spoon Killer Demon, anyone who reported him would guarantee that Wang Dong lost the case.

Some netizens, on the other hand, spread memes online for publicity or parody purposes, and it had little impact.

In truth, Lin Chuan had completely misunderstood Wang Dong.

The reason Wang Dong had asked Lin Chuan whether he could shoot a female version of the Spoon Killer Demon—

Was purely because all the models he had under him were women.

As a photographer, he couldn't exactly photograph himself.

Wang Dong believed that, as a photographer, he was quite proper.

So Lin Chuan's line—"Your kink can be niche, but it can't be twisted!"—

Never crossed Wang Dong's mind again.

At the shoot, a sweating Wang Dong aimed his camera at the model.

Click, click, click. He took shot after shot.

But when he reviewed the photos, Wang Dong became dejected.

After spending the whole afternoon at it, none of the photos Wang Dong had taken satisfied him.

They always seemed to be missing something.

As a major Weibo photography influencer with hundreds of thousands of followers, Wang Dong held himself to high standards.

If ordinary people posted these photos, the gimmick of a female Spoon Killer Demon would still earn them over a hundred thousand views.

But to Wang Dong, a major photography influencer, they were hardly worth mentioning.

He could photograph a random chicken on the street and post it to Weibo, and it would still get over a hundred thousand views.

With no other choice, Wang Dong called off the shoot.

He took out his phone, opened Bika Net, and prepared to watch Spoon Killer Demon again for inspiration.

As he watched, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck Wang Dong.

It happened to be at the part where Little Fatty aimed a chainsaw at the Spoon Killer Demon.

The Spoon Killer Demon threw a spoon at him. Little Fatty's hand jerked, and the chainsaw began wildly cutting into his own crotch.

Listening to Little Fatty's screams, Wang Dong grimaced repeatedly.

Then his smile suddenly vanished.

The opportunity was fleeting. In an instant, Wang Dong forgot what that flash of inspiration had been.

Wang Dong furrowed his brow, desperately trying to grasp the spark in his mind.

After pacing around with a miserable expression and thinking for a long while, Wang Dong finally remembered something and hurriedly opened Weibo.

He found the private message Lin Chuan had sent him.

"Sure, cosplay however you like. But Old Wang, remember this: your kink can be niche, but it can't be twisted!"

When Wang Dong had first seen that message, he truly had not thought much of it.

Now that he was out of ideas, Wang Dong suddenly realized that he could go in the direction of kinks!

A sexy female Spoon Killer Demon—just thinking about it had potential!

Wang Dong immediately directed the model to put the Spoon Killer Demon outfit back on and resumed shooting.

"Lift the cloak a little higher~"

"Yes, hold that pose. Don't move!"

"A little more seductive. Good!"

Wang Dong was a professional photographer, after all. Inspired by Lin Chuan, ideas flowed from him like a spring.

He shot set after set of images that satisfied him.

During the shoot, Wang Dong occasionally got distracted.

Come to think of it, could it be that Lin Chuan knew he lacked the ability to capture the essence of a female Spoon Killer Demon—

And had deliberately given him that hint?

If that was the case, then Director Lin was terrifying.

Lin Chuan continued with another video call with Ren Hang and Xiao Hei.

He learned that Ren Hang had caught the eye of the Golden Warrior director and had been chosen to play the Golden Warrior.

Lin Chuan warmly congratulated Ren Hang.

Getting to play the lead in a Tokusatsu Drama, a childhood hero, was the dream of many children.

That afternoon, Lin Chuan came across Wang Dong's Weibo post.

It was a Spoon Killer Demon cosplay set.

All he could say was that it looked incredible.

The cloak paired with snowy white long legs carried a unique beauty amid the eeriness.

Many fans commented under the Weibo post.

"So beautiful! If the Spoon Killer Demon looked like this, then all I can say is, I'm in!"

"I'm willing to let my kid chase me down together with the Spoon Killer Demon!"

"The spoon is ready. Where can I pick up a Spoon Killer Demon like this?"

Wang Dong's Weibo post easily surpassed one million views in a single afternoon.

Quick-witted netizens had already made memes.

It showed a Man in Black wearing a cloak, his face hidden beneath the hood, holding a spoon.

"I know you don't want me to beat you day after day."

The next second, the Man in Black lifted his cloak, revealing swathes of sexy skin, snowy long legs, and a faintly visible cleavage.

"But what if I'm a sexy hottie?"

The meme later evolved further, with the model's head replaced by that of a long-haired, bearded man.

"I know you don't want me to take you away."

"But what if we're going to build..."

Netizens these days really were quite talented.

Lin Chuan happily read through the comments.

Completely unaware that his private message had given Wang Dong his initial inspiration.

After reading them, Lin Chuan stretched.

"System, give me a mission!"

The next second, the system's mission notification suddenly rang out.
