"You’re really not playing fair, starting a Weibo account and not even telling ," complained Kong Xiuwen.
"I barely use my Weibo anyway," Xiang Beifei responded.
At that ti, when Yu Lei was spreading rumors about him on major dia platforms, Beifei decided to register an account, intending to speak out on Weibo. But later on, he simply confronted Yu Lei directly, leaving his Weibo account unused.
Now, soone had actually dug up his Weibo account.
"Mu Yiqing really does have her ways," Beifei couldn’t help but think.
His Weibo userna was "Idle Fish Heading North," a na he changed later. It was written on a whim, and normally, no one would know it was him.
However, when he registered, he had to verify his real identity, and since Mu Yiqing is from the Alliance, it made sense that she could find his account.
Beifei had wanted to keep a low profile, but Mu Yiqing had made him famous instead!
Of course, strictly speaking, he was already a celebrity. Students from all nine elite universities knew who he was. The incident with his top score in the N-level Primitive Division exam had made him famous already, it’s just that no one had the chance to discover his online alias until now.
But thanks to Mu Yiqing’s antics, he suddenly acquired a whole bunch of fans.
"You’re now a star of popularity, you know. Just the other day, your fan club was fiercely debating over what to call themselves," chuckled Kong Xiuwen with a grin.
"The fan club has a na?" asked Beifei, puzzled.
He had only been in closed-door cultivation for about ten days, yet it felt like things were getting more bizarre; he was nearly falling behind the tis.
"Of course, they do! Look at those pop stars, each one has their own support group, don’t they? Their fan clubs all have nas, giving their fans a sense of belonging. You’ve got a support group now, too. Initially, there was even a vote on what to call it, and there were quite a few differing opinions."
Kong Xiuwen showed him a voting thread.
Beifei looked at it and saw a Weibo poll posted by the official account of the Alliance Daily which read:
[Xiang Beifei’s fan club is gathering nas! What do you think our brave and invincible Beifei’s support group should be called?]
Beneath it were several options, including [Where the Heart Xiangs], [Dawn Thoughts Mu Xiang], [Xiang Mu Investnts], [Falling for Xiang], and [rge Like Terms].
There was another more straightforward and crude na, simply called [The Choices]!
The Choices, The Choices, choosing Little Beifei!
Then the voting started, and [The Choices] as an "option" led the pack by a mile!
So, Beifei’s fan group was now called "The Choices!"
He stared blankly at the words "The Choices," almost unable to wrap his mind around it!
This na...
It was beyond ridicule!
"I’m now part of ’The Choices,’ too! Ha ha, and I’m a new fan," Kong Xiuwen said, laughing and holding his phone.
"You really have too much ti on your hands," Beifei couldn’t help but comnt.
"Cultivation can be dull; it’s fun to ease the boredom occasionally. Besides, if you were to debut, I could be your agent," Kong Xiuwen declared confidently, thumbing his chest, "My mom knows many big stars, she’s well-connected."
Chen Xiuqin, with her Yi Jian i System, was often hired by celebrities to do their hair for a high fee. She wasn’t only a formidable pioneer but also a well-connected career woman with extensive connections in the entertainnt industry.
"I’m part of ’The Choices’ too," Lu Zhiwei said with a giggle.
Kong Xiuwen scrutinized Lu Zhiwei up and down before asking seriously, "Have you t the standard for the thirty-floor run? Still want to be one of The Choices?"
"I’ve reached it! I ran the thirty floors yesterday without using any system or Spiritual Power, and it took four minutes and thirty-one seconds!" Lu Zhiwei excitedly opened a video she had taken to prove herself.
"And your standing long jump without using the system and Spiritual Power?" Kong Xiuwen continued to inquire.
"Watch this!"
Lu Zhiwei walked over to one side of the living room balcony, crouched down, and jumped on the spot!
Her agile figure traced an arc in the air; she leaped gracefully like a swallow, clearing the coffee table and sofa and landing neatly on the other side of the living room!
"Four ters fifty-three! Passed!"
Lu Zhiwei checked the reading on her test ring, then stood up proudly, clapping her hands and rubbing her fists before snapping her fingers at Beifei.
Beifei: "..."
"What about the three-kiloter run?" Kong Xiuwen, acting like a strict examiner, continued his comprehensive assessnt of Lu Zhiwei.
"Two minutes and twenty-nine seconds!" Lu Zhiwei struck a pose!
"And your lung capacity?" Kong Xiuwen asked yet again.
Lu Zhiwei’s triumphant expression instantly deflated.
"17,500, still a bit off," Lu Zhiwei said despondently.
"That’s a huge gap! It’s not just a small difference! Ti to work hard! Our ’options’ all have standards!" Kong Xiuwen said seriously.
"Understood! I will definitely strive to beco a qualified option!"
Lu Zhiwei clenched her fist with a serious expression, jabbed her elbow downwards, and made an encouraging gesture!
Xiang Beifei: "..."
These two clowns!
"Xiang Beifei, your mate selection criteria are a bit high," Kong Xiuwen couldn’t help but say.
The mate selection criteria set out by Xiang Beifei were fine at the beginning, with requirents like vision and heart rate, which most martial artists could et, but the latter criteria were tough.
Because they required "no system assistance or Spiritual Power," it ant that whether it was running, long jumping, or climbing stairs, it all had to rely on one’s physical strength!
With the aid of Spiritual Power and systems, many martial artists could achieve this, but without them, it was equivalent to asking them to test like ordinary people, relying solely on physical fitness.
"I just browsed the ’option’ challenge, and there aren’t many who qualify," Kong Xiuwen said.
"What the heck is an ’option’ challenge?" Xiang Beifei asked blankly.
Why had he beco a superstar while he, the person involved, was completely unaware of it?
"You’ll know if you look for yourself; it’s like the Ice Bucket Challenge, the Clean Plate Challenge, the Locust Forest thing from before. They’re all public interest events," Kong Xiuwen explained.
Kong Xiuwen shared a variety of blog posts with Xiang Beifei.
The initiative for this Weibo post was launched by the Alliance Daily, the official periodical of the Jiuzhou Alliance. It’s the Alliance Daily that published Xiang Beifei’s mate selection criteria and initiated a vote for the na of the fan group. It seems the Alliance is deliberately helping Xiang Beifei beco a superstar by using the desolate beast attack incident to thrust him directly into the spotlight.
[Option Challenge One: 3,000-ter run without system or Spiritual Power]
[Option Challenge Two: Standing long jump without system or Spiritual Power]
[Option Challenge Three: 30-floor stair climb without system or Spiritual Power]
[Participant Requirent: Each contestant must wear a Spiritual Power monitoring sports bracelet for the event and record relevant videos (Note: The bracelet must show zero Spiritual Power throughout; otherwise, the challenge is considered a failure)]
[Event Rules: For every option challenge video uploaded and @Alliance Daily, if it ets the criteria upon review, 100 yuan will be donated to Jiuzhou public welfare for each qualified video, which will be used to subsidize pioneers and defenders’ families. The event is sponsored by the following companies: Liangzhou Rolling Wealth Co., Ltd., Qingzhou System Science and Innovation Group, Wufu Desolate Beast Research Company, ...]
Below is a long list of sponsors’ nas; the event was launched by the Alliance and is Jiuzhou-wide, attracting countless sponsors looking to advertise. With such startling exposure, this kind of advertising is a guaranteed profit!
Xiang Beifei is now a legendary figure in the Jiuzhou Alliance, with even his profile being published in the Alliance Encyclopedia database.
Ordinarily, the events at elite universities are not public, but this ti the official Alliance Daily seems to have added to his profile to increase the appeal of the event — at the elite contest, the N-level Awakener Xiang Beifei, representing Liangzhou University, defeated various elite SSRs from major universities!
As soon as the Alliance Daily published this information, it instantly caused an uproar on the internet!
For an N-level Awakener to defeat SSRs of the sa age was historical!
This was sothing that all N-level Awakeners wouldn’t even dare to dream of, but Xiang Beifei had done it! Find your next adventure on .Côm
Now the na "Xiang Beifei" was incredibly well-known, holding massive appeal, especially since the Alliance also published his photo from the elite competition arena.
Xiang Beifei was naturally handso, and with the superior photographers of the Alliance capturing him from tricky angles, he looked like a refined and elegant young man with an imposing aura and handso features.
A high-scoring student, handso, and powerful!
Almost the epito of perfection!
As Xiang Beifei’s resu updated, the internet blew up!
"Wow! Brother Beifei actually defeated an SSR?! So inspirational! He’s a role model for us N-level Awakeners!"
"Brother Beifei, wait for , I’ll definitely get into Liangzhou University next year!"
"Brother Beifei is so outstanding! With such accomplishnts, as a little ’option’, I feel incredibly proud right now!"
"Rest assured and fly high, Brother Beifei, the little options are happily chasing after you!"
With the Jiuzhou Alliance heavily promoting "Xiang Beifei," seemingly overnight, a large number of "older sister fans," "younger sister fans," "girlfriend fans," and even "mom fans" appeared!
Many girls uploaded various "option" challenge videos, all hoping to et Xiang Beifei’s mate selection criteria and beco his girlfriend!
Suddenly, Xiang Beifei had beco a national idol!
Lately, girls huffing and puffing as they climb stairs have been everywhere, in order to et the standard of climbing thirty floors in five minutes without the help of systems and Spiritual Power, countless girls have been working hard to train their bodies.
Countless girls rushed to the sports field to train tirelessly for the 3,000-ter run, practicing standing long jumps...
A national fitness craze, starting with the "option"!
Xiang Beifei never expected the current online situation to be like this; seeing those cute girls posting running videos, their slender figures swaying in the sunset, sweating happily, drenched through their thin clothes, gasping for breath, but still not forgetting to shout: "I do it for the option... "
Their slogans shook the sky! Full of enthusiasm!
Goodness gracious! What’s going on!
Xiang Beifei was dumbfounded!
