The mission is complete.
Cheng Che was overjoyed.
He thought the three-stage Charisma Trial was a piece of cake, but he was still happy when he actually completed it.
Instead of checking the system immediately, he opened the Weibo super topic.
Guo Xin leaned over and glanced at it. " Brother Che, are you looking at the super topic?"
He said proudly, "You don't know, do you? Over a hundred thousand people have already signed up. Many of them were attracted by your advertisement and ' Chasing the Wind '."
Cheng Che flipped through it.
The number of followers on the super topic has indeed increased significantly, and the number of people checking in has exceeded 100,000.
He roughly understood that the "core fans" the system was referring to were those who were willing to check in, follow, and interact.
He opened the system panel again and took a look.
[ Tolerance Makes Greatness (Passive): Current Malice Count: 250,000+. Current Popularity Bonus: 25%]
His lips twitched.
Goodness, another 50,000 haters.
However, he wasn't affected by the number.
250,000 people criticized him, but he gained a 25% boost in public favorability.
The more people criticize him, the more agreeable he becomes to the general public.
All things considered, he actually didn't lose out.
He took off his mask in a great mood and took a selfie in front of the camera.
In the photo, he stands beside the railing of Wangjing Tower, with layers of tree canopies behind him and the city skyline in the distance.
Sunlight streamed in from the side, and he turned his head slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips.
He posted the photo on the super topic, with the caption:
[ Cheng Che Himself: Came hiking to appreciate the magnificent landscapes of our motherland!]
After sending the rewards, he opened the system to check them.
[Congratulations, host, you have acquired the passive talent " Bearing of a Top Star "].
[ Bearing of a Top Star (Passive): Under the Under the Spotlight, the world will get used to looking up to you. Others will unconsciously overestimate your value and underestimate your flaws. The malice of haters seems laughable, the eyes of passersby will automatically linger, and the loyalty of fans will grow like a snowball.]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained Ten-Million-Tier Popularity Card ×1.]
[ Ten-Million-Tier Popularity Card: After use, a public post by the host will receive ten million views. These views will automatically convert into influence. Limited to one use only.]
Cheng Che's eyes lit up when he saw the popularity card.
Although it was the first time he had a duplicate item, he was more than happy to accept it.
Last time, it was because of this card that his cultural tourism videos and Wilson's advertisements were able to reach such a wide audience.
Without it, he wouldn't have made so much money, nor would he have been able to achieve such a large scale of success.
Then he looked at [ the Bearing of a Top Star ].
The meaning of this talent is clear: fans will be willing to pay for his endorsements and will not easily unfollow him because of certain events.
He recalled a news story he had seen before: after a top celebrity announced their relationship, a large number of fans left, and their commercial value was halved overnight.
But with his [ Bearing of a Top Star ], his fans' loyalty will only increase over time, making that kind of thing virtually impossible.
This provides a huge guarantee for his endorsements, business collaborations, and even future song releases.
Cheng Che happily put away the two rewards.
Unbeknownst to him, the hashtag was already in an uproar.
[Ahhhhhh, Che Baby posted!!]
[Is this his first post in the super topic?]
My hands are shaking! Look at the photos!
[He took off his mask! That profile! That light! I'm dead!]
[Wait, which mountain is this? There's the Guomao CBD in the background, and you can see Xia Country Zun!]
[ Baiwang Mountain! Wangjing Tower! I've been to those places!]
[I'm at Baiwang Mountain right now!!! I'm only a few hundred meters away from Che Baby???]
[Go, sisters!]
[Don't push, don't push! I'm here too! I just started climbing from the foot of the mountain!]
Has anyone spotted the real person? Report the coordinates!
At that moment, Cheng Che was sitting in a corner on the second floor of Wangjing Tower, looking at the constantly refreshing comments on his phone screen, when he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
He heard someone shouting downstairs.
"Hurry up! Che Baby's up there!"
Cheng Che looked up and exchanged a glance with Guo Xin.
Guo Xin's expression changed.
" Brother Che."
"Um."
Did you just post a selfie?
"Um."
"The kind with GPS tracking?"
Cheng Che glanced down at his post.
The caption didn't specify the location, but the Guomao CBD in the background of the photo was too obvious.
Anyone even slightly familiar with Capital City will recognize it as Baiwang Mountain at a glance.
Moreover, the view from Wangjing Tower is so iconic that it's almost impossible to spot.
He stood up and glanced downstairs.
On the mountain path, you can already see quite a few people running this way.
Some people were holding up their phones, some were calling out names, and others were rushing uphill.
"Run," Cheng Che said.
The four people went down from the back gate of Wangjing Tower and ran down the mountain along the path.
Cheng Che had the best stamina and ran in the lead. Su Qingyue and Lin Xiao followed closely behind.
Guo Xin was running at the very back, panting like a bellows, but this time he didn't complain of being tired.
" Brother Che... you've ruined me..."
"Say less and save your energy running."
The four of them ran all the way to the foot of the mountain and rushed into the parking lot.
Qin Lie was dozing off in the driver's seat when he heard the car door open and opened his eyes.
"You came down so quickly?"
"Drive!" Cheng Che shouted as soon as he got into the car, "Quick!"
Qin Lie glanced at the rearview mirror and noticed that a crowd was already moving towards them from the entrance at the foot of the mountain.
Without asking any further questions, he started the car and sped out of the parking lot.
Cheng Che breathed a sigh of relief once the car was on the highway. He leaned back in the back seat, put his mask back on, and then glanced at his phone.
The supertopic has exploded.
Someone took a picture of Wangjing Tower, someone said they had just run to the top but didn't see anyone, and someone was asking, " Che Baby left yet?"
Guo Xin leaned over from the side, glanced at his phone screen, and then smiled.
" Brother Che, could you please let me know in advance next time you go out so I can wear a pair of good running shoes?"
Didn't you say you relied on your talent?
Talent also needs physical stamina.
Qin Lie was driving ahead and glanced at Cheng Che in the rearview mirror.
"From now on, you need to get used to thinking of yourself as a public figure." His tone was calm, but serious. "No, a top celebrity. Don't just go out casually. If you really want to go out, tell me in advance and I'll arrange security. Luckily, we're on a mountain today, so it's not too crowded. If it were a shopping mall or subway station, could you have escaped?"
Cheng Che nodded. "Understood."
Su Qingyue, sitting beside him, felt a little disappointed upon hearing Qin Lie's words.
She looked down at the four-leaf clover pendant on her chest and gently touched it with her fingers.
We can't just hang out together like that anymore.
Qin Lie first took Su Qingyue and Lin Xiao back to Beijing Normal University, then took Guo Xin back to his school, and finally took Cheng Che to the entrance of the alley where he rented a house.
Cheng Che got out of the car and walked into the courtyard. He was about to take out his keys to open the door when the door opposite him opened first.
Su Miaoyin poked her head out from inside, her expression somewhat helpless.
" Cheng Che," she said, "Come over here and help me take a look; my washing machine seems to be broken."
Cheng Che was taken aback.
He looked at the keys in his hand, then at Su Miaoyin's face, which was filled with "I'm annoyed".
"Broken?"
"Hmm. It's stopped spinning, but the light is still flashing."
Cheng Che sighed.
He put the keys back in his pocket and walked towards Su Miaoyin.
"Let's go, let's take a look."
