Popularity is everything, and my art style is just too quirky!

"That's...that's an old story from 30 years ago."

General Igor, who was nearing the end of his life, said this.

If you could still discern an expression on that face, it would likely be a moment of reminiscence for the past.

Looking at the scene before me.

A strong sense of déjà vu appeared before Xia Ye's eyes.

No, you're here too?

The viewers on the main channel couldn't hold back any longer either.

"Is this the traditional trick of 'Psionic City'?"

"I should have thought of that sooner!"

“Wu Xiaodi started from 10 years ago, while Chiyo started from 25 years ago.”

"Now that we've arrived in Igor, let's start directly from 30 years ago, right?"

"Old Deng, you're going to die anyway, this really doesn't need to be!"

"I know you're going to tell a story, but there's really no need to start from so far back."

"Oh no, experts predict that the next scene will be the most classic flashback."

……

The main screen of "Psionic City".

I was transported to a classic scene from Igor's memories.

This also helped the audience understand the uncle's past.

Igor and Shingo's father, Shinzo, met during an academic research trip.

At that time, Ig was still an Ig scholar.

Because they shared the same ideals, the two quickly became close friends.

However, the two later had serious disagreements on their views regarding the research on monsters and psionicists.

After parting ways.

Igor still insists on his idea of fusing monsters with psionicists.

And more than 10 years ago, they secretly established the Haichao Base.

The research has finally yielded preliminary results.

Wait until the scenes of the memory end.

"Then why did you send someone to find me?"

Zhenwu continued to press for answers.

The fingers of Igor's right hand, the only remaining part of his body, twitched slightly.

Then a dark particle of light entered Zhenwu's body.

"You... are the most... most special."

The most special one?

He kept repeating Igor's words.

I really don't understand.

Just as Zhenwu was about to ask more questions...

However, Igor's life had come to an end, and he could no longer utter a single word.

But it was at this moment that...

The spiritual energy within Zhenwu underwent another strange change.

A wisp of black flame appeared eerily before Zhenwu's eyes.

The scene abruptly ends there.

To lose consciousness at such a critical moment.

The audience, of course, just wanted to send their insults to the official family of the Psionic City.

"What happens next? I want to see what happens next."

"Oh no! It broke right here!"

"Black flames... Could it be that Brother Wu has awakened a completely new spiritual power?"

"Based on the typical length of a seasonal anime series, the main storyline of the first season of 'Mob City' should end here."

"So, you're leaving one hook at the end, right?"

"Don't you have any sense of public morality?!"

"No way! I have to vote for Psionic City. I absolutely have to see season two."

……

Invitation to play a game character in Chapter 51, "Fate: The Villain Catalog"

……

The main world.

Accompanied by twinkling starlight.

Xia Ye's body reappeared in her room.

Ding!

A crisp notification sound rang out.

The virtual light screen of the popularity panel slowly appeared before Xia Ye's eyes.

[Current anime series: Mob City, Season 1 main storyline has concluded.]

The remaining episodes of "Psionic City" have been successfully generated into a series – 7 episodes (episodes 6 to 12)

The subsequent episodes will be released one per week.

[Calculating the base popularity score your character in "Mob City" is currently earning.]

Based on your character's popularity among the audience, your character will receive a base popularity score of 10000 per episode.

This is Xia Ye's first role.

Now, with the conclusion of the first season of "Psionic City," it has come to a perfect end.

Based on the current reputation and popularity of "Psionic City".

There's a high probability that a second season will be released.

As for the suggested base popularity score of 10,000 per episode.

To put it simply, it's like the "basic salary" for appearing in anime series in this world.

Mob City is a new anime series and does not have a fixed base of viewers or fans.

Therefore, this part will not have a high popularity rating when the first season of a new anime ends.

Things will be much better when the second season starts airing.

"In that case, my first anime series appearance can be considered to have come to an end."

"According to the rules of this world for starting a personal channel, you must at least successfully and completely portray a character in an anime series or game."

"I am perfectly ready to apply."

As Xia Ye operated the system, a prompt appeared before her eyes.

[You have applied for a personal channel. Estimated review time: 24 hours.]

After the summer night application period ends.

The popularity panel notification reappeared.

Because your character is currently ranked number one on the popularity charts for "Mob City," your character has been given the opportunity to appear in episode 13, a standalone special.

[When appearing in a standalone spin-off, the base popularity score remains the same as in previous storylines!]

Is this a standalone side story?

This is a good thing.

After confirming the notification message, Xia Ye nodded slightly.

This is a standalone spin-off, unlike the previous end credits episodes.

Essentially, it's an episode separate from the main storyline.

It will take longer.

The content mainly focuses on lighthearted and ordinary daily life.

Generally speaking, the characters who participate in spin-offs are popular characters from the anime series.

The spin-offs make these characters more three-dimensional in the eyes of the audience.

However, this standalone spin-off will air in episode 13.

Therefore, the actual time when Xia Ye needs to go to the world of the "Mob City" anime again is much later.
