Chapter 217 Top Trending on Hot Search



"Knock, knock, knock!"

The next day, Gu Yu was awakened by the sound of knocking on his door.

"Laosi, get up, you're trending again, you're trending again!"

Boss Pu's voice came from outside the door.

"Let me sleep a bit more," Gu Yu mumbled groggily, annoyed at being woken up.

But the knocking continued relentlessly.

Even burying his head under the blanket didn't block out the sound.

Reluctantly, he threw off the blanket and yelled towards the door, "What is it?"

"Quickly check Bilibili; you're on the top trending across the entire site!"

Boss Pu sounded somewhat excited.

Gu Yu sat up in bed, holding the blanket, and was stunned—what trending?

Top trending across Bilibili?

Impossible! Didn't he just post a one-and-a-half-minute video?

Could it really get so popular?

Dubiously, he grabbed his phone from under the pillow, unlocked it, and opened the Bilibili app.

His inbox was overflowing with messages, and he knew without a team managing, it was impossible to reply to these fan messages.

He had no choice but to clear all messages with one click, and the screen immediately looked a lot clearer.

Returning to the homepage, the first thing that caught his eye was the preview image of the video on the main cover.

The image showed him and Lin Xinyue embracing—a sight so cloyingly sweet that even he, as one of the parties involved, found it overwhelming.

Above it was a line of recommendatory text: "We're waiting for you in Modu, to start a new story inside."

As for the view count, it had already broken through to three million, currently ranked first for the day on the entire site.

He clicked on the video to view the comments and the barrage—sixty percent of them were cheers and playing with memes, the rest were onlookers.

Of course, like with any video, it wasn't without its detractors.

After all, some detractors won't even watch what the video is about; they just know how to spew hate for the sake of it.

For instance, as Gu Yu scrolled down, the very first negative comment he saw was:n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Internet Keyboard Tycoon: "What a trash video, just looking at the cover you can tell it's a face-selling fame-seeking account! Reported."

Reading this person's comment, Gu Yu was truly speechless—didn't this person even bother to check what account posted the video?

How could a marketing account use an official account from a top university like Haidong University for promotion?

Haidong University sure isn't lacking in funds.

Of course, Bi Jian and Shu Yinyin had once used this account for streaming to make some quick money, but that was purely individual behavior.

Using an official promotional account for marketing would be blatantly slapping Haidong University's face!

This person didn't even look at the account owner and video content before starting to rage!

Gu Yu didn't need to argue with him, as there were already nearly a thousand replies cursing him below.

The enthusiastic netizens directly assailed every organ of his body.

Gu Yu initially thought about deleting the comment, but then he thought that deleting wouldn't end the issue, it was better to make an example out of this case.

He promptly pinned and liked the negative comment.

He didn't even need to reply, as more netizens immediately joined the fray of online scorn.

"Making a fool of yourself in public!"

"Disappear, you've been pinned by the uploader."

"Do you even see what school's official promo account this is, thinking it's a marketing account, really?"

"Now that the video is popular, you're popular too."

"..."

With a simple refresh, fresh replies popped up beneath that comment.

Seeing the argument intensifying, Gu Yu hesitated for a moment but eventually turned on comment filtering.

Though it was just a troll, he really didn't want to personally contribute to a cybebullying incident.

Words can kill!

Some people argue with trolls just because they're annoyed, but some are outright aiming to harm.

The malicious nature of the internet often magnifies the evil in people, with some reveling in creating discord, hoping for situations to escalate dangerously, perhaps even wishing for it to result in harm.

This headline appeared at the very top of the hot search on the Bilibili website.

It continuously directed traffic to his videos, leading an account that initially had only twenty thousand followers to jump to two hundred thousand followers overnight.

Ninety percent of these were female followers; after all, Gu Yu's handsome appearance was undeniable, and many ladies were just there for his looks.

Add to that Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue's scandal-free romance and the rumors that both were academically talented and successful in their careers.

It was just like following a true, good, and beautiful Korean drama.

The followers were mainly there to see how Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue's relationship would develop next.

They were treating it like a serialized TV drama.

Seeing the enthusiastic comments and private messages, Gu Yu, who was managing an account for the first time, had no idea how to respond.

Initially, he tried to reply to fans' comments under the video one by one, only to realize that he could respond to five comments a minute, but there were fifty new comments every minute!

Using comments to express gratitude was evidently impractical.

So, he came up with a compromise, posting an update on his homepage and including a selfie he just took upon waking up.

"Woke up to find myself overwhelmed with love, thanks for everyone's support!"

As soon as the post went live, people immediately liked and commented, and Gu Yu refrained from checking the comments and turned off his phone.

He buried his head back into his pillow to try and catch some more sleep.

But his three brothers weren't about to let him sleep in. No sooner had he closed his eyes than the door was pounded on.

"Laosi, the sun's high in the sky! It's time to get up!"

"Laosi, it's time to go upstairs for breakfast. The girls have been calling for quite a while!"

"Yeah! Laosi, it's already seven o'clock, breakfast is an important part of life."

The three of them talked outside the door.

Annoyed, Gu Yu had no choice but to get out of bed and hurriedly dress.

When he opened the door, the three brothers were all neatly dressed, smiling broadly at him.

"Hahaha, our famous uploader Gu has finally woken up."

"This is your mouthwash cup."

"This is your toothbrush..."

"This is your towel..."

The others directly thrust the washing utensils into the bewildered Gu Yu's hands.

"Wow! You really have everything! Say, why did you guys get up so early today?"

Gu Yu, holding these items, walked towards the bathroom and asked curiously.

"Did you forget? Today is the one-month anniversary of our company," said Boss Pu, pursing his lips.

It seemed that Gu Yu had really overdone it these past few days, even forgetting about the company's one-month anniversary.

"Damn, that was fast!"

As soon as he heard the reminder, Gu Yu quickly pulled out his phone, and sure enough, today was the fifteenth of October!

Ideal Paradise had been established for one month!

He slapped his forehead, realizing it was a mistake to forget such a thing.

At the same time, he also felt a little excited because he had been looking forward to something today that was finally happening—

the first round of system evaluation for Ideal Paradise.

Quickly, he went into the bathroom and closed the door.

Gu Yu began checking his system messages, and sure enough, a golden progress bar awaited his attention.

[System: First round assessment of Ideal Paradise Network Technology Company completed. Please check the report!]

"Check the report!"

Gu Yu did not hesitate to choose to check the report.

He had been waiting for this day for almost a month and it had finally arrived.
