"A friend gave me a Sand Sculpture. Let me show you what it looks like." Ke Meng posted an update on Bilibili, attaching a picture.
In the picture was a white-feathered Sand Sculpture. Yellow sand trickled off its spotless feathers in tiny cascades. It looked strange, as though it had just walked out of a desert covered in sand.
Ke Meng now had an idea for his next video. He could either make a video about Honey Juice or use the Sand Sculpture as his test subject.
The Sand Sculpture's main attraction was that it could shake off sand nonstop, without ever running out.
A minute later, Ke Meng checked his feed again. The post already had over a hundred comments.
"The Night Is Long, Dreams Abound,": "Wow, your new pet is gorgeous."
"Graceful Trees, Fragrant Orchids OvO": "So this is what an educational review creator is like? Love it, love it."
"Flaming Like the Dead": "I've seen yellow Sand Sculptures, but why is the uploader's Sand Sculpture white? Can someone explain?"
"Heavenly Dao Sword Saint": "I suspect you're making a dirty joke, but I have no proof."
The comments grew increasingly lively. Netizens turned the picture of the white Sand Sculpture into memes, adding silly captions and flooding the fan groups with them.
One featured a large bird drawn in simple lines, while another used Ke Meng's picture of the white Sand Sculpture, paired with the caption "Ultimate Color."
Other memes were more crudely made, with a white strip added beneath the original picture and a single line of text.
Ke Meng enjoyed browsing his fans' handiwork. He also brought his phone over to the Sand Sculpture to show it.
"Look, people have made you into memes."
The Sand Sculpture had already learned the Koi language, so understanding pictures
