Chapter 384 Dominating the Internet!
Su Yang asked, “Is it very popular?”
The shop owner nodded. “That’s right. Last night, this video was so popular that I heard it was one of the hottest searches on the Internet.”
Su Yang was shocked.
‘I don’t know which platform is my video one of the hottest search, However, it doesn’t matter which platform it is, as long it’s there because that means my video is actually somewhat popular.
‘In that case, I should’ve completed the Achievement Mission, right?’
At that thought, Su Yang said to the store owner, “I see. I should go back and listen to it then. I’ll be off now, thank you.”
With that, he turned to leave.
The store owner was a little startled. He shouted as he watched Su Yang turning his back and walked away. “Hey, aren’t you going to buy cigarettes anymore?”
Su Yang waved his hand without turning back. “No thanks. Smoking’s bad for health.”
The store owner was speechless.
After he exited the store, Su Yang walked to a secluded corner and turned on the system. As expected, he saw the notification on the system. (Mission Accomplished)
‘As I expected, I’ve completed the mission.
‘I didn’t realize when I’ve completed the Achievement Mission since there’s no notification from the system.
‘However, to be able to gain 100 thousand fans in just 1 night, I must be very popular now…’
With that thought in mind, Su Yang asked Little Deeny through the earpiece, “Little Deeny, how did I actually become popular?”
Little Deeny was trying to hold back her laughter. It was obvious that she was very well aware of the reason, but she still said sweetly, “I have no idea, my Superstar Master.”
Su Yang was speechless.
‘A superstar?
‘Why do I feel like I’m being mocked?
‘As someone who is destined to stand at the top of the world, it would be a complete waste if I were to be a celebrity.
‘If I had to, I’d rather be a person who throws a bunch of cash to beat up some famous action celebrities like Ma Yun.
‘I still remember how I used to dream of becoming a celebrity. After all, there’s no one in the world who doesn’t like to be famous. But after I had seen that movie, I realized how money makes the world go round.
“The movie literally depicted how Ma Yun had forcefully revealed the truth about the entertainment industry for the whole world to see.
‘I used to think that celebrities were as classy as their roles and were untainted by the world’s temptations, never bowing down to the root of evil, money.
‘However, after watching that film, I realized how naive I was…’
When he gathered his thoughts, Su Yang continued to ask Little Deeny, “Why didn’t you tell me this morning that I had become famous?”
Little Deeny said playfully, “You didn’t ask.”
Su Yang was speechless.
‘Wasn’t it just a few songs that I sang last night? Why have all the little monsters changed so much? None of them seem to be acting normally! ‘Little Deeny used to be very obedient in the past!
‘Forget it, if you’re not going to tell me, I’ll find out about it myself!
At that thought, Su Yang took out Little Deeny from his pocket. He wanted to see how popular he was after one night!
After unlocking Little Deeny, Su Yang recalled that the store owner said that he was on the hottest search list.
‘So what platform am I most searched on? TikTok?
‘Fine, let’s start with Tik Tok then.
‘After all, it’s a work uploaded onto TikTok, so it would definitely be the most popular there.’
He turned on Tik Tok.
On TikTok, the first video was of a man holding a guitar and sitting on a chair. He was singing with deep emotions. His singing was very pleasant to the ears, like the sound of Nature.

Su Yang listened carefully… ‘Isn’t this my voice?’ With that thought, he looked at the bottom right corner of the TikTok. ‘It’s indeed a voice-over and the owner’s name is Chang Shi. Hey… That’s me.’
Su Yang clicked on the music and realized. “There are 70,000 people who participated in this!
‘In other words, 70,000 videos have used my music.
‘There are people who are mouthing the lyrics and using my voice as a dub. Plus, there’s also people who used my music as their background music.’
Generally speaking, the number of people participating in a video represented how popular the video was on TikTok.
With 70,000 participants… Su Yang felt, ‘I’ve never seen a single video on TikTok having as many participants as my video has.
‘Even if there was, it’s probably still not as many as mine.
‘I’ve actually become so popular?’
Su Yang hesitated as he continued reading.
‘The first and most popular video… is my own video.’
Su Yang clicked on it and was stunned.
‘2,138,000 likes!
‘I must be seeing things!’ He rubbed his eyes. There really is over 20 million likes!
‘Isn’t this too ridiculous?!
‘Other than the likes I’ve seen on the government uploaded TikTok videos, I’ve never seen a video with a ridiculous amount of likes as mine has!
‘Even the other videos including the highest level of comedy videos only got over 10 million likes, didn’t it?
‘And I now have more than 20 million likes?!’
He continued reading.
‘Not only did I receive more than 20 million likes, I’ve even received more than 700,000 comments. The number of reposts is even higher, 1.2 million!
‘Aren’t these numbers… a little too high?
‘I’m confused… These numbers are way over my expectations for me to even comprehend.
‘How… popular is this?’
Su Yang clicked out of it and clicked on it again, only to find that the number of likes went from 21,380,000 to 21,560,000.
‘What… The number of likes for this video is still increasing? It’s increased by more than 100,000 likes in just a few moments?
‘Oh my God!’
Su Yang started to doubt himself. ‘Is my singing really that good?’ He went onto Weibo and realized that 3 of the top 10 trending topics were about him.
“God of cover music on TikTok causes the original singer to admire him in awe”
“The God of cover music takes the Internet by a storm”
“This lifetime’s scenery about you”
‘All the topics of discussions are very popular.’
Su Yang opened Baidu and realized that 2 of the top ten trending topics on Baidu were related to him. One of them was “This Lifetime’s Scenery About You’, and the other was “God of cover music on TikTok”.
The number of searches done on Baidu’s trending searches would be displayed. These 2 topics had searches around 4 million, both ranked 4th and 5th place.
Su Yang was speechless. ‘Isn’t this too popular already?’ He opened Zhihu, he was the 5th most trending topic on it.
He opened Toutiao, he was the most popular topic on it.
Su Yang was speechless.
‘Isn’t it just a song? Is it really necessary to take things this far?
“Am I really that good?’
Su Yang was stunned. ‘Regardless, it doesn’t matter if my ability deserves to receive such attention, at least I’ve achieved my goal in obtaining 100,000 followers.’
At the thought of the number of fans, Su Yang switched on TikTok again. He wanted to see how many fans he had.
After all, 110,000 was more than 100,000, 1,000,000 was also more than 100,000.
When he saw it, he was shocked for the umpteenth time. ‘I have 12 million fans! ‘Isn’t this number too high already?
‘I received over 10 million fans with just 1 video!
‘How much traffic does my app have? Over a million a day? Plus, I haven’t been doing any advertisements recently, so I don’t know if the numbers have dropped or not. ‘In the end, shouldn’t I just pursue singing rather than working so hard? ‘Is my singing really that spectacular?’ For the first time, Su Yang had a better understanding of advanced music. ‘Perhaps my singing is the one of the best in the entire country, perhaps the whole of Asia. Nay. I might even be the best in the world.’
He could not help but fantasize. ‘If I am able to receive an (Advanced Film Shooting Ability), would it be possible for me to earn a few billion in box office?
‘Such pipe dreams… Just thinking about them makes me happy…’
‘Since I have so many fans, I shouldn’t try to hide it. I’ll ask Little Deeny to edit five songs that I sang last night, including the complete version of “This Lifetime Scenery About You” which is currently popular all over the country and upload all of them onto TikTok.
‘I’m so famous! What can I do about it?’
Perhaps TikTok had made adjustments on Su Yang’s account limit, he was now able to upload long videos. Hence, he uploaded a full three to five minutes worth videos that time. He believed that it would be more beneficial for him in doing that and there wouldn’t be so many negative comments in the comment section or even those who were desperately requesting for a full version of the songs.
After he was done with his arrangements, Su Yang went to the office for a stroll. Su Yang’s company was only open for half a day on Saturdays. When Su Yang arrived, he did not see Chuxia anywhere. The receptionist said that Chuxia had some urgent matters and had to be absent from work.
Su Yang was a Little disappointed.
He returned to his office. The office seemed to still have the faint scent of Chuxia’s body odour.
He opened his safe. Inside was the squid that had been locked inside for close to a month. It was lying motionless in the bowl with all the water gone.
Su Yang pinched it. ‘Its body is still soft. It seems to still be alive.’
Su Yang kept it in the virtual space and threw it into the swimming pool for Janet to take care of it.
‘This squid’s a treasure, I can’t let it die just like that. I still need it to write my books in the future!’
After making his rounds in the office, Su Yang went back home before working hours ended.
For the next two days, Su Yang stayed at home and did nothing other than rest.
Even though the five songs that he had released in a row were still cover songs, because they were sung so well, they still became popular on TikTok.
However, perhaps it was not as amazing as the first song that he released, so it was not as big of a topic as it was the first time.
Even so, he still easily became the hot search on various websites. Moreover, he also received millions of likes on TikTok.
Su Yang would only occasionally take a look at these and was extremely calm when doing so.
After all, he did not rely on that to survive, nor did he rely on that to become famous. His main objective was still the monsters and special items.
However, he had gained a new hobby. He liked to use TikTok when he had nothing to do just to look at the fans who praised him.
Every time he saw someone praising him, Su Yang would endure it with everything he could. However, in the end, he could not help but laugh out loud.
He really liked it when others acknowledged him because he would feel fulfilled and happy. Hence, that weekend, Su Yang’s laughter would echo throughout the entire villa. Those who did not know better would think that something had happened to Su Yang.
Not only did Su Yang have a fulfilling weekend, so did Xu Lu. Her heart was filled with thoughts of earning money. This was the first time she realized how easy it was to earn money.
‘In the past, I had always thought that I had to use hard labor and time to earn money.
‘But now I realize, There’s a way to earn money that does not require too much time or effort, investing in stocks.
‘Compared to standing for a few hours previously or even sitting in the boutique for an entire day, investing in stocks is much easier!
‘Plus, I get ecstatic just by looking at the stock prices climbing
‘Based on my calculations, if I could earn 10% a day, that means in a month…’ She looked at the calculator for a long time and was shocked. ‘I could earn 1744%!’
