Positive Energy

Gao Jing's laptop was no longer the original one.

A bird gun had been traded for a cannon.

The new laptop had cost over ten thousand yuan, with top-tier CPU, hard drive, and memory.

It took only five seconds to boot to the desktop, operated as smoothly as silk, and did not lag even with hundreds of webpages open.

During this time, Gao Jing had not visited Bilibili again.

Now he discovered that the Three-Year Animation Graduation Project video he had posted under the ID "g93" had already reached over 380,000 views, with more than 30,000 likes.

The number of reposts was also considerable, and it had earned over ten thousand coins!

Praise flooded the comments section, and people bowing in worship and kneeling before the great master were everywhere.

Though the video filmed in the Great World was only sixty seconds long, the influence it had produced was nothing short of monumental for Gao Jing.

Not only had it brought Copper Anchor a considerable amount of Faith Power, it had also made Gao Jing understand the key to upgrading Copper Anchor.

If Copper Anchor had not upgraded, the storage space would never have appeared.

This time, Gao Jing would also have been unable to bring back more than sixty cubic meters of premium red sandalwood from the Great World.

Thanks to that modestly viral video, Gao Jing's "g93" had also gained 59,000 followers on Bilibili!

Sitting before his desk, he pondered for a moment.

Then he opened the drawer, took out pen and paper, and neatly wrote down several words.

Attention, admiration, astonishment, gratitude, being moved, joy, reverence, esteem, worship!

He believed these words were related to Faith Power.

The emotions they represented were transformed and absorbed by Copper Anchor through their connection to Gao Jing.

After thinking it over, Gao Jing crossed out the word "attention."

He felt that attention alone was not enough to gain the blessing of Faith Power.

Otherwise, the Faith Power brought by nearly sixty thousand followers would surely have been enormous.

Then Gao Jing would truly have found a shortcut to frantically farm Faith Power.

Things could not possibly be that simple and easy!

The remaining admiration, astonishment, gratitude, being moved, reverence...

Gao Jing simply summarized them in three words.

Positive Energy!

So-called Positive Energy was a healthy, optimistic, and upward-driving force and emotion.

Positive Energy could influence both others and oneself, benefit society and the public, and even change the world!

This should be the most important source of Copper Anchor's Faith Power.

For example, when Gao Jing had made Big Gold Chain reap what he had sown, many people had applauded in delight and thanked heaven and earth.

Gao Jing had received a very good return because of it.

Of course, some emotions could not be wholly classified as Positive Energy.

For instance, astonishment.

But as long as it was not negative, it could likewise bring Gao Jing Faith Power.

The only difference was in quantity and purity.

At this point, Gao Jing's train of thought was already very clear.

He needed to farm Positive Energy in order to obtain more and stronger Faith Power!

The question was how to farm it.

First, Gao Jing had to become famous.

He had to make his presence known. Though attention could not directly bring Faith Power, it was the foundation for creating Positive Energy—how could anyone admire and worship an unknown nobody?

In this regard, celebrities and famous figures held a tremendous advantage.

Did one not see that most of the year-round top trending searches on Weibo were occupied by entertainers and idols from the entertainment industry?

But Gao Jing clearly could not develop in the entertainment industry, nor did he possess the talent or ability for it.

By comparison, becoming a sports star was a good choice.

Gao Jing fully had the qualifications.

But he possessed the enormous secret of Copper Anchor, making it unsuitable for him to expose himself beneath the spotlight.

Besides, the sports world was not so easy to enter.

Its waters ran deep.

Therefore, unless Copper Anchor's Silver Scales were exhausted and he could find no way to restore them, Gao Jing would not consider taking this path.

Did that mean there were no other ways to become famous?

Gao Jing set down the pen in his hand and stared at the computer screen before him.

He shook his head.

He immediately dismissed the idea of posting another Great World video.

Grasping the mouse, Gao Jing opened a new webpage.

He logged into Weibo.

Today's top trending search on Weibo: Wang Baoshi Appeared at a Street Stall with His New Girlfriend!

Seeing this news, Gao Jing thoughtfully rubbed his chin.

Wang Baoshi was the young master of Jiangnan Mingde Group and the founder of Ruby Fund.

This peer of Gao Jing's had returned from studying abroad two years ago and swiftly become a widely renowned public figure.

He had as many as seventy million followers on Weibo.

Though not the most, he was fully worthy of the title "number one source of trends."

Wang Baoshi appearing on the trending searches was as commonplace as eating and drinking.

Countless netizens delighted in discussing his family background and wealth, his lavish style of spending money like dirt, his unguarded personality, and the internet-famous girls constantly changing at his side.

He came with trending-search physique built in.

During this year's Spring Festival, one of Wang Baoshi's Weibo posts about a red-envelope giveaway had drawn over thirty million reposts!

Under every one of his Weibo posts, countless girls called him husband.

Although Wang Baoshi was neither tall nor handsome, with looks no better than an ordinary passerby's.

He had money superpowers!

Gao Jing felt neither favorably nor unfavorably toward Wang Baoshi and had never followed his gossip.

But this so-called national husband, who was also twenty-six like Gao Jing, greatly inspired him at that moment.

Inspired him to farm Faith Power.

After browsing several trending news stories, Gao Jing opened another new webpage.

He switched to Sailfish Live.

Sailfish Live was the country's largest livestreaming platform, with hundreds of millions of registered users and extremely high daily activity.

Gao Jing had his own account on Sailfish Live.

The same "g93" he used on Bilibili and Weibo.

In the past, Gao Jing had been a freeloader on both Bilibili and Sailfish Live.

He never spent money topping up his account. All the tips he gave streamers were free Fish Balls earned from daily check-ins and treasure chests.

But tonight, Gao Jing topped up his account with 10,000 Fish Fins.

One Fish Fin equaled one yuan, so 10,000 Fish Fins meant 10,000 yuan!

With wealth wrapped around his waist, he entered the livestream section and swept his gaze across the most popular gaming and looks categories.

Gao Jing normally did not play games, and his old broken laptop had only been capable of running Fighting the Landlord.

So he had no interest at all in gaming streams.

The looks category had the most girls, all of them coquettish and captivating, with voices that were pleasant to hear.

Yet Gao Jing truly could not bear to look at those female streamers in the looks category, empowered by the three great dark arts of plastic surgery, makeup, and beauty filters.

He would not even throw them a single free Fish Ball!

The categories he watched most often were performances and outdoor streams.

Most outdoor streams took place during the day, so that evening Gao Jing entered the performances category as usual.

The performance streamers mainly sang, danced, or played instruments, gathering a large number of grassroots artists.

Though they could not even touch the edge of the entertainment industry, there was no shortage of talented people among them.

Gao Jing followed more than a dozen streamers.

Gao Jing opened the following list on his account, selected the streamer ranked first in the pop-up window, and entered her stream.

This streamer was called "Mu Yu," a female singer in her twenties.

Gao Jing had followed her for some time.

Mu Yu's looks were quite ordinary. Even with beauty filters on, she did not appear especially pretty.

But she played the guitar very well, and her singing was quite skilled.

It was just that her voice had little distinction.

There were many streamers like her in the performances category. Without any special characteristics, it was difficult to stand out.

Thus, Mu Yu's popularity had always been very low.

When Gao Jing entered, her livestream had only a few dozen viewers, and its popularity score was pitiful to behold.

"Welcome, g93!"

Mu Yu had just finished a song. When her gaze swept across Gao Jing's ID, she smiled and greeted him.

She did not have many fans, so she vaguely remembered "g93," who often visited her livestream.

He never spoke, only silently fed her a few Fish Balls.

A quiet lurking freeloader.

[g93 sent you 1 Super Rocket!!]

???

Mu Yu's smile froze instantly.

The system notification floating across the screen left her dumbfounded. She simply could not believe her eyes.

She had actually received a Super Rocket tip!

Mu Yu had been streaming on Sailfish for nearly a year.

The largest tip she had received during that time was only five airplanes from someone.

That was equivalent to 500 Fish Fins.

But one Super Rocket was worth 2,000 Fish Fins!

Since tipping a Super Rocket triggered a sitewide announcement, Mu Yu's livestream was immediately flooded by a large number of Fish Ball freeloaders.

Its popularity soared in an instant.

"Thank you, Brother g93!"

Mu Yu was a little incoherent. "You... what song would you like to hear? I'll sing it for you."

She pressed her hands together in thanks, her face flushed red. "Thank you!"

Watching Mu Yu's excited and thrilled expression, Gao Jing smiled faintly before his computer—he had earned it.

He tapped on the keyboard: "Give us 'Pale Yellow Dress, Fluffy Hair.'"

Mu Yu: "Huh?"

The livestream's bullet comments instantly surged like a tide, and everyone burst out laughing! —??
