Nan XiangWan turned around and went back upstairs to the tea room, slumping over as she scrolled through her phone.
She had originally wanted to scroll through Douyin.
But then a friend request popped up.
[Lin Yao, an agent at Hua Zhi Entertainment, requested to add you as a friend]
An agent?
Lin Yao?
Nan XiangWan immediately rejected and blocked it.
Her agent was Cheng Xue!
Scammers are so shameless these days!
She continued scrolling through Douyin. The culture of this world was truly interesting.
[Ding!]
[Triggered Quest: Fan Interaction]
[Quest Details: Please post a weibo, officially starting your business activities]
[Quest Reward: Determined by the number of reposts, comments and likes]
[Quest Failure: 200,000 RMB deducted]
While cursing under her breath, Nan XiangWan opened up Weibo.
She remembered this app. The staff had walked her through registering an account.
As soon as she opened it, red notification dots were everywhere, nearly scaring her into exiting the app.
After carefully reviewing the quest details,
Nan XiangWan went into the yoga room, positioned her phone to record, and opened up the video function.
The number of reposts, comments and likes was important.
So Nan XiangWan decided to show off a special trick!
On the screen, Nan XiangWan took two steps back and stood still. Then,
Whoosh!
A one-handed handstand!
Right after, she started spinning her body around and around, one-handed, spinning!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Like a spinning wheel!
This was one of the skills rewarded in the Dance Specialization tree.
After the system had rewarded her with the skill, Nan XiangWan unlocked many moves. Any would work.
After recording the less-than-10-second short video, Nan XiangWan posted it.
Other than the registration post, this was the first real weibo!
After posting, Nan XiangWan suddenly remembered that someone had messaged her earlier but she hadn't replied.
She opened up WeChat and took a look.

Nan ChaoYang: They took your phone?

Nan ChaoYang: Your performance was awesome!
Just now
Nan ChaoYang: School starts tomorrow. Should I send over your textbooks and homework?
Nan XiangWan remembered she had a younger brother, so she replied with a string of nod emojis.
He immediately responded lightning fast!
Nan ChaoYang: Is this an imposter?
Nan XiangWan: Got my phone back, one day off.
Nan ChaoYang: You're in Shanghai? It's still early, should I ask mom and dad to come get you and bring you home?
Nan XiangWan: No need, I'll go straight to school tomorrow to process paperwork.
Nan ChaoYang:
Nan XiangWan pursed her lips as her fingers quickly tapped the screen. WeChat red packets could only be 200 RMB?
Then she'd have to use another method.
Nan XiangWan: [Transferred 1,000 RMB]
Nan ChaoYang: What's this for?
Nan XiangWan: I'm making money now.
Nan ChaoYang: You crazy?
Nan XiangWan: I can make money now.
Nan ChaoYang: Scram! (ノ“Д)ノ
[Other party has rejected your transfer]
Looking at the messages on her phone, a huge question mark sprouted above Nan XiangWan's head.
Transferring money to her brother, but he rejected it?
So Nan XiangWan opened up her mom's WeChat conversation box.
Without any preamble, she transferred 20,000 RMB over.
Xin Zi: Little Wan can use her phone now?
Nan XiangWan: Take money.
[Other party has rejected your transfer]
Xin Zi: What's wrong, Little Wan? Short on money?
Xin Zi: Should mom transfer you some money?
Nan XiangWan: I can make money now, mom.
Xin Zi: Good girl, save it to spend yourself. Mom will give you some allowance, okay?
Nan XiangWan: No no no! I still have over 300,000 in my card!
Xin Zi: Our Little Wan is so capable!
Nan XiangWan: Can I transfer you some money, mom?
Xin Zi: Mom doesn't want Little Wan's money. The money you earn is for you to spend, you know?
Nan XiangWan:
Why wouldn't anyone accept her money?
Chipping in a bit for household expenses wasn't good?
The family had been poor all along.
But looking at her brother's and mother's reactions, Nan XiangWan felt warm inside.
Family is so nice!
She must earn even more money, so her family would no longer hesitate to accept money from her!
Nan XiangWan secretly swore to herself.
Just then, a group chat popped up with messages flooding in.
[Xinghai Experimental High School Class 20 Grade 3]
Rong Zhen: School starts tomorrow! My children! Daddy misses you all!
Ning Yan: Gross! Scram!
Ning Yan: [Barehanded Brick Breaking].gif
Gu Lu: [Barehanded Brick Breaking].gif
Rong Zhen: [Barehanded Brick Breaking].gif
Instantly, the screen flooded with [Barehanded Brick Breaking].gif!
Nan XiangWan was dumbfounded right then and there!
Wasn't this...herself?
Emoticons???
Her barehanded brick breaking had been made into animated emoji!
A million grass mud horses galloped through Nan XiangWan's heart.
These were her classmates right?
Her classmates were furiously spamming her emoticon in the class group?
The chat messages continued flooding out.
Nan ChaoYang: Stop spamming!
Gu Lu: Yeah stop! Nan XiangWan is a girl okay, spamming barehanded brick breaking everyday, are you guys sick?
Nan ChaoYang: @Gu Lu you were spamming it the most!
Gu Lu: [Wolf King Ripping Shirt].gif [Wolf King Ripping Shirt].gif [Wolf King Ripping Shirt].gif
Nan ChaoYang: ???
The new emoticon [Wolf King Ripping Shirt].gif was precisely the scene from Nan XiangWan's previous performance where she had made many girls faint!
The entire less-than-3-second animated clip had been condensed into an emoticon.
Rong Zhen: @Gu Lu Wtf where did you get that? Too gorgeous! Screenshot from the performance?
Ning Yan: Gonna steal the pic! [Wolf King Ripping Shirt].gif
Gu Lu: Found it on Weibo, hahahaha! So many emoticons in the comments under Nan XiangWan's Weibo!
Nan XiangWan immediately exited WeChat and checked Weibo.
Wow!
That Weibo she just posted already had 10,000 comments?
Let's see what they were!
Comments:
MorningStar: XiaoWan posted on Weibo! I'm so happy! [Barehanded Brick Breaking].gif
LunaGirl: Happily barehand brick breaking in place [Barehanded Brick Breaking].gif
SpadeA: I'll be different, [Wolf King Ripping Shirt].gif
TopComment: How are the top comments all emoticons? Can we get a normal person to properly comment on XiaoWan's dance move please!
Reply: Previous person, this is the Thomas Flair, one of the most difficult street dance moves!
WolfWarrior: Most difficult? Piece of cake for Brother Nan XiangWan hahaha!
Seeing the flood of emoticons and comments from netizens, Nan XiangWan was completely dumbfounded.
Why were they all spamming emoticons!!
Among them, the barehanded brick breaking emoticon was the most!!!
These netizens are toxic!
Just then,
[Ding!]
[Completed Quest: Fan Interaction]
[Congratulations to Host for exceeding 10,000 Weibo comments in 10 minutes. You have been rewarded with a 10x spending cashback, capped at 100,000 RMB!]
[Note: Spending cashback can only be used at offline stores]
Nan XiangWan instantly:!!!
Holy crap! 10x 10,000 RMB spending cashback?
One million?!
This was way more than the website shopping's 2,000 RMB 10x cashback!
I love you, System!
Nan XiangWan immediately leapt up and rushed downstairs, changing shoes and running out the door!
She had to get her hands on this money right now immediately!
