The Glove Review Is Out

That evening, Ke Meng's new review video passed moderation.

Thanks to the boost from his previous video, Ke Meng had already set up a fan group.

At that moment, Ke Meng was chatting in the fan group, sharing a funny video about online classes.

When the fans noticed their group owner chatting instead of posting an update, they clamored, "Where's today's upload, Great Cthulhu?"

"Soon, soon. Let me check whether it's passed moderation," Ke Meng replied.

"What kind of video? Another weird review?"

"Boss, what are you reviewing next?"

While his fans were asking questions, Ke Meng logged into Bilibili and checked. The video in his dashboard had passed moderation.

Switching back to the QQ group, Ke Meng shared the video and replied, "This time, I'm reviewing a glove."

"A glove? What's there to review about a glove? Is it made of gold?" asked Big Fatty, a baffled group member.

"Ahem, it's not made of gold. Watch it and you'll see." Ke Meng kept them in suspense, saying nothing about the glove's function.

Curious, Big Fatty clicked the shared link to watch the video.

"Big Fatty" was a fan of remix meme videos on Blue Planet's Bilibili. He had happened to spot someone sharing the Mur Cat video in a friend-making group and clicked on it.

The uploader's dead-serious manner was hilarious, and Big-Faced Cat's expression was strangely addictive. The video had made him laugh, so he had followed this rookie uploader.

"Let's see what you've uploaded this time."

Big Fatty glanced at the title: "[Unboxing Review] Mighty Gloves."

The title followed the style of the previous video, with the opening tag defining the content and spaces between every character in the title that followed.

Seeing that Sand Sculpture-style title, Big Fatty knew this would be a comedy video.

He clicked play, and a jaunty backing track kicked in, setting the mood right away.

Ke Meng appeared on camera and solemnly explained to the viewers that he had a Kobold friend. His friend had found a strange glove in the barren desert and mailed it to him, asking Ke Meng to test its abilities.

By this point, Big Fatty could already guess that the review would be unconventional. Otherwise, there would be no need to bring up a Kobold friend.

Claims like "I have a friend" usually meant the speaker himself. It wasn't as though a friend had actually sent him a glove.

"Wake up! You don't have any friends!"

"I'm that friend you're talking about. Hurry up and mail it back to me, lol."

"Epic moment incoming! Epic moment!"

Three bullet comments floated over Ke Meng's head.

Ke Meng took out a battered black glove. The moment his fingers slipped into its opening, the glove seemed to come alive and clamp onto his palm. Its surface rapidly liquefied, fitting perfectly over his right hand in just one second.

"What just happened?"

"That familiar routine. Yep, that's you all right."

"I knew it! That's no ordinary glove. Come clean, uploader. Did you steal the glove I hid in my desert mansion? Lol."

Several bullet comments floated past as the glove slipped on in an instant.

Although the video had been out for less than half an hour, viewers were already pouring in. Every segment with something worth poking fun at had bullet comments floating across it.

Some viewers had come over from the previous video, while others had clicked as soon as they saw that an uploader they followed had posted something new. Big Fatty had heard about it in the group.

He hadn't expected to see a visual effect of the uploader putting on a liquefying glove right off the bat. Compared with the last review of Big-Faced Cat, this episode was every bit as goofy. It looked promising.

After putting on the glove, Ke Meng vainly showed off its front and back, then walked over to a black car.

"This glove amplifies strength. My dog-headed friend said it lets you lift things weighing twenty times your body weight. I don't know whether that's true. Personally, I don't really believe it," Ke Meng said with a straight face.

"Like hell I believe you, you crafty old geezer!"

"You'd have to be nuts to believe he can lift twenty times his body weight."

"There's a car here. He's not actually going to lift it, is he?"

"Probably not. I bet it's just a prop."

"Don't you guys know this uploader's style? Just freaking go for it! Let's go!"

"Epic moment incoming! Epic moment incoming!"

Bullet comments streamed across Ke Meng's body. He bent slightly, reached his right hand under the car's chassis, and, with a whoosh, lifted the car!

He lifted it!

At their computers, the viewers' expectant expressions turned to shock at the outrageous sight.

Big Fatty's mouth formed an O. This was ridiculous-arm strength beyond anything human.

Special effects. It had to be computer-generated special effects!

Ke Meng lifted the front of the car. His movement looked slow, but he really had raised the car's front end!

An object weighing over a ton had been lifted to shoulder height with a single arm.

"Ohhhhhhhh!"

"Are you the Hulk reincarnated?"

"I'm losing my mind!"

"Car: Fuck you, fuck you! Did you hear me? Put me down!"

"Bumper: I was terrified. I thought he was coming for me, but it turned out he wanted to lift the chassis."

Several bullet comments raced past while Big Fatty was still reeling in shock.

Then the comments made him laugh.

Lifting a car with one arm was wildly unrealistic, but the uploader had certainly pulled off that exaggerated comedic style. Paired with the Sand Sculpture viewers' bullet comments, it was hilarious.

After lifting the car, Ke Meng crushed a stone with his right hand, demonstrating the terrifying strength of the Mighty Gloves.

Once the demonstration ended, a thoroughly satisfied Big Fatty gave the video the full trio: a like, a coin, and a favorite.

Back in Ke Meng's fan group, things were even livelier than before. Everyone was discussing his new review video.

"Great Cthulhu, I've finished your new video. Got any more? Upload another one."

"Upload another one. Let me freeload one more time."

Ke Meng posted in the group, "One more upload at fifty thousand favorites."

With that declaration from their group owner, the fans found a new goal.

"Fifty thousand favorites is a bit tough. We might not see that in our lifetime."

"Our group owner's such a scrub. He barely has any fans. Take pity on him, everyone-give him the full trio and share it while you're at it."

The fans checked Ke Meng's follower count on Bilibili. It had only grown to a few hundred, so getting fifty thousand favorites would be very difficult.

If a video had fifty thousand favorites, its actual view count would have to be well over a hundred thousand, perhaps even more than two hundred thousand. In short, Ke Meng had set a pretty high bar.

Still, people needed dreams. Perhaps a little effort would make it happen.

The previous video's momentum hadn't faded yet. By that evening, it had reached eighty thousand views and showed potential to take off. The new video could ride its popularity.

While the fans shared and promoted it, the night grew late. Ke Meng watched videos for a while, then crawled under the covers to sleep.

Big Fur Dog shook himself. Hearing his owner sound asleep, he curled into a ball and slept beside Ke Meng, keeping watch.
