Although the other party's appearance was comical, the small ball of fire seemed to be alive, dancing lightly in the air, making it impossible to look away.

"He really has superpowers?!"

Goto Ichiri held her breath and blinked, trying to confirm whether what she was seeing was real.

The flame's light shone brightly against the dim background, seemingly blurring the lines between reality and illusion. What had appeared comical before now ignited a wondrous atmosphere.

Goto Ichiri initially clicked on the video just to watch the fun, but now she is completely captivated by this unexpected performance.

Pochi didn't even realize that his hands had been clenched tightly, his eyes fixed on the screen, as if afraid of missing any moment.

The flames in the black-masked man's palm no longer burned quietly, but began to slowly rise. As if guided by some unseen force, they detached from his palm, hovered in the air, and emitted a dazzling light.

The flames swirled in the air, as if they possessed a life of their own. As they spun, the flames gradually lengthened and dispersed, transforming into countless tiny sparks. These sparks, like stardust, scattered through the air, instantly illuminating the entire scene. They spread across the screen, yet were not dazzling; instead, they radiated a warm glow, like fireflies on a summer night, mysterious and enchanting.

“It’s incredible…”

Goto Ichiri's voice was filled with barely suppressed amazement. She unconsciously moved closer to the screen, afraid of missing any detail.

The sparks didn't disappear immediately; they lingered in the air for a moment before drifting away slowly, as if carried by a gentle breeze. Each spark seemed to carry a magical rhythm, falling into the air and gradually vanishing, leaving only glimmers of light lingering in memory.

By following the YouTuber route, you can connect with several anime characters. Not to mention the ones from BanG Dream! who play this game, there's Pochi, the pusher, and what else?

And let me tell you about something that happened a few days ago. Regarding this, what's being spread everywhere is that it's drug trafficking.

First of all, the protagonist didn't actually do such a thing; he just chose not to interfere. I later spoke with the editor about this, and the editor said the protagonist shouldn't be made to do such a thing.

No matter what, I still know what I can and cannot write.

But those people, just like Mr. Shu said, see an arm and they're doing illegal and criminal things every day, yet they criticize me.

For example, if I find myself being exposed on Baidu Tieba, QQ groups, or other places I don't know about, this is serious cyberbullying.

After what happened, I revised this part, as it was controversial. Although there was no problem with the rules, social norms are not solely based on rules; they also include morals and customs.

If I actually wrote the protagonist to do such a thing, then I have nothing to say.

But what I wrote was: If you see someone using drugs, you think it's none of your business and you don't care.

In reality, when faced with such a situation, I think the most I would do is report it anonymously, and only if I can ensure absolute confidentiality. If I can't guarantee that, I'd rather not report it at all.

The next choice was to stay away from this person and avoid any further involvement.

Moreover, I would never encounter such a person in real life.

Chapter 25 Meow: No one could resist a beautiful girl like me, right?

Goto Ichiri's gaze was completely fixed on them; she even felt as if she could touch those points of light. In that instant, time seemed to stand still, all the noise and clamor vanished, leaving only the miracle blooming in that firelight.

"so amazing!!!"

An irrepressible excitement and amazement radiated from the girl's face, her bright sky-blue eyes sparkling as if reflecting the dancing sparks on the screen. She unconsciously moved closer to the screen, her cheeks flushed with excitement.

Pochi's limited vocabulary meant that all she could do was repeat "Wow, that's amazing!" over and over again.

At first, Ichiri Goto took the video half-jokingly, but now she is completely captivated by the miraculous flames and sparks, filled with amazement and wonder.

Boqi couldn't help but reach out, as if wanting to touch the radiant light on the screen. Although her fingers only touched the cold screen, the powerful impact seemed to pierce through the image and strike deep into her heart.

"How could anyone possibly do that..."

Pochi covered her mouth, trying to calm her racing heart, but she couldn't suppress the excitement within her. The glow of the flames still replayed in her mind, like some kind of magic, making the pink-haired, busty girl feel an incredible happiness.

It was just like the first time she saw fireworks as a child; that innocent, pure emotion and unconditional longing for beauty made Goto Ichiri's expression incredibly innocent. Her eyes were wide open, shining like starlight, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, as if she was completely immersed in this miraculous scene.

Goto Ichiri watched the short video over and over again. Each time she clicked play, the flames on the screen rose, spun, and transformed into countless tiny sparks dancing in the air, still making her feel as awestruck as when she first saw it.

His fingers mechanically dragged the progress bar, his eyes fixed on the screen. What should have been a few minutes of video had been kept under wraps for almost an hour by the pink-clad, large-breasted girl.

Unable to resist, Goto Ichiri clicked the "share" button and even added a comment:

"This is amazing! Is it real?"

She quickly followed the account, afraid of missing any future updates from this mysterious account. The novelty and curiosity drove Goto Ichiri, making it completely irresistible.

And many people behave in this way.

As the video's popularity continued to rise, countless people, like Ichiri Goto, clicked the share, comment, and follow buttons. The comment section was filled with both praise and questions, as well as jokes and banter:

[Could this really be a superpower?]

Please teach me how to do it! I want to become the second Awakened!

[This wig is so funny, yet it's kind of cool?]

Where did you buy it? I want to buy one too.

Is this special effects?

[It looks like special effects no matter how you look at it.]

This level of technical skill is incredible!

No, I think it's true!

[Didn't you see the disclaimer at the bottom of the video: "Please don't take this seriously, it's a special effect."]

The online frenzy spread like wildfire, with countless users sharing the short video on their WeChat Moments, Twitter, and other social media platforms. In an instant, this mysterious figure wearing a black hood and wielding strange flames became the focus of everyone's conversation.

Many users imitated the actions in the video and filmed their own "awakened superpowers" versions. Although most of them were humorous and crudely made compared to the original video, they still added fuel to the fire of this trend.

Within just a few hours, the number of followers on this account skyrocketed, the video views exceeded one million, and the keyword related to the video—"I awakened superpowers"—appeared prominently on the trending search list.

Goto Ichiri felt a strange sense of pride as she watched the number of likes on the video she shared rise rapidly.

She even saw reposts from big names like Miaomeng, Sumimi, Hoshino Ruby, and comedian Ruoye.

It's like discovering a hidden gem of a content creator, who becomes more popular because of you.

"I'm definitely not the only one who's been drawn to this..."

Goto Ichiri muttered to herself. Although she was somewhat disappointed after learning that it was fake, her powerful technical skills made her refresh the page again and again—hoping that more people would see it.

The number of likes, comments, and shares kept increasing in Boqi Jiang's sight.

When Ichinose Wakaba returned from his shower and opened his account's backend, his eyes trembled slightly, his fingers hovered over the screen, and his gaze was fixed on the rows of rapidly increasing numbers.

"One, Ten, Hundred, Thousand, Ten Thousand"

Within just half an hour, the number of followers surged by hundreds of thousands, likes soared at an alarming rate, and the comment section was flooded with thousands of messages; almost every number was jumping wildly. The traffic data charts in the backend resembled rapidly rising curves, demonstrating the explosive spread of this short video in the online world.

"This...this data is just too explosive!"

Ichinose Wakaba rubbed his eyes, completely unable to believe what he was seeing. The speed at which everything was unfolding far exceeded his expectations, and could even be said to have exceeded all his plans.

The reason I wanted to make and post short videos was because Ichinose Wakaba had read a web novel before. In the story, the protagonist started making short videos after gaining superpowers, and through special effects that were actually real magic, he instantly gained a lot of popularity.

So, thinking that I might be able to make money this way, Ichinose Wakaba experimentally filmed that short video—any resemblance to actual events is purely coincidental, it's fake, just a technical feat.

As for being discovered?

Ichinose Wakaba thought that no one would be so naive as to believe that it was true.

"No, Mahiro might think it's true."

Thinking of the white-haired girl who looked like she'd eaten a little blue mushroom, Ichinose Wakaba planned to create a disguise after acquiring a new entry in the future. Right now, it was just a wig disguise, which seemed rather rudimentary to him.

However, Ichinose Wakaba, who was only hoping to get some money, even a small amount, never expected to gain such popularity.

It was beyond his expectations.

In less than an hour, YouTube's monetization was approved, and revenue is increasing by several dollars per second.

As the data continued to grow, notifications kept pouring in from the backend, with various cooperation requests, inquiries from advertisers, and even contact information from agents and media flying in like snowflakes.

Are you interested in collaborating?

We are very interested in your superpower videos and are willing to provide you with full support.

Could you please promote our products? We've seen that you've gained a large following in a short period of time.

Do you need an agent?

Even more surprisingly, Ichinose Wakaba saw the private message sent by Yutenji Wakana: "Handsome guy, interested in making a video together?"

As for the character Yutenji Wakaba, I didn't have a good impression of her from the very first scene of the Mother Chicken Card.

And in the latest episodes, this feeling is even more unpleasant.

Although she has long legs, dresses provocatively, and has a passable face, her personality is not good.

One more thing: you said you're only in your first year of high school???

Therefore, Ichinose simply blocked the other party and refused to engage in further communication.

On the other side, Yutenji Wakana sat on the sofa, staring at her phone screen for quite some time. Her fingers kept swiping and refreshing the chat box, and she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Recently, the popularity of Yutenji Ruomai's videos has dropped sharply.

The purple-haired fake socialite once attracted a large number of fans with her unique style and enthusiasm, but with the rise of newcomers, she gradually lost market share.

Meanwhile, some of the videos recently released by Yutenji Ruomai have seemed somewhat lackluster, failing to generate the same level of discussion as before in terms of both creativity and presentation. The loss of fans and the lukewarm comments have caused her to feel a growing sense of anxiety.

Yutenji Ruomai sat in front of the vanity mirror, sighed deeply, gently pressed the screen of her phone, and scrolled through her social media platforms.

Let a miracle happen!

With each refresh, the purple-haired girl hoped for some kind of miracle, as if a new highlight could bring her back to her peak. However, the messages and numbers on the screen brought no hope, only making her feel more disappointed.

And today, after seeing Ichinose Wakaba's video—I want to collaborate with him!

Yutenji Wakame's eyes were fixed on the blazing flames on the screen. She could feel the awe and beauty they brought. The dazzling flames were more than just a visual spectacle; the purple-haired girl also saw the heat, attention, and buzz they would generate—they were definitely going to be the next internet sensation!

Yutenji Ruomai knew very well that such videos, whether real or fake, had become the focus of people's attention. Regardless of whether it was real superpowers or not, the mystery alone was enough to make it impossible to ignore.

Thinking of this, Yutenji Ruomai's heart began to race. She had always considered herself a keen business savvy, able to keenly perceive potential and value.

If they could collaborate with this man in the black hood, they might be able to reverse Yutenji Ruomai's current predicament and regain his former popularity.

She quickly typed a message, her heart filled with anticipation and excitement.

This video is so cool! You filmed it amazingly! Would you be interested in collaborating with me on a video? My resources can help your superpower video get more attention and even generate more traffic. What do you think?

Yutenji Wakana quickly clicked send, but her heart remained uneasy, fearing that the other party might not be interested or simply ignore her message. This anxiety caused the purple-haired girl to repeatedly refresh the chat box, eagerly awaiting a reply.

Time passed slowly, but Yutenji Wakana waited for a long time without receiving any response. Her anxiety grew, and the feeling of being ignored filled her with resentment.

"He must be busy, that's why he didn't see it."

Yutenji Ruomai muttered to herself, a growing anxiety rising within her. She tried to reassure herself that the person who posted the video was simply overwhelmed with private messages due to the sudden surge in popularity.

Several minutes passed.

Yutenji Wakana couldn't bear the wait, fearing she'd miss this opportunity for collaboration. So, without hesitation, she edited another message, even more urgently than before.

"Hello, I really want to work with you! This is a great opportunity for us to do even better together! You wouldn't want to miss out, would you?"

Yutenji Wakana subconsciously clicked send, but her unease intensified. She longed for a reply, even a simple "no," rather than this agonizing wait.

However, a notification suddenly popped up on the screen, and a bright red exclamation mark jumped in front of the purple-haired girl's eyes—"You have been blocked by the other party."

At that moment, Yutenji Ruomai's world seemed to freeze. Her fingers were stiff on the screen, and her phone slipped off onto the table.

"Have I been blocked?"

Yutenji Ruomai never expected to receive such a result, and her heart was filled with disbelief—she, a big name with hundreds of thousands of followers on YouTube, had been blocked?!

Normally, it's people begging Yutenji Ruomai to collaborate, but now she's been blacklisted!

These words exploded in Yutenji Ruomai's mind like a thunderclap. Her eyes widened, and an unprecedented surge of anger and resentment welled up inside her.

"You wait for me!"

Words, uttered through gritted teeth, escaped Yutenji Wakame's lips, her anger surging like a volcanic eruption.

"You will regret this."

Yutenji Ruomai murmured coldly, vowing to make the person who rejected her regret rejecting her!

If the plot of the story doesn't change after the mother hen card, then Meowm will basically be a clown villain.

Then I can feel at ease writing some plot points about her.

When writing dark fiction, although you shouldn't consider these things and just go for the darkest possible version, you still have to be mindful of the audience when it comes to some really outrageous content.

Chapter 26 Toyokawa Shoko, You'll Regret It

In the classroom, sunlight streamed through the windows onto the teacher's desk, and the air felt somewhat stuffy. The teacher's voice flowed like water as he explained a trivial topic, while the students' eyes grew increasingly blurry, and some students' attention had already begun to wander.
