My mouth moves faster than my brain; I went viral on Running Man and the whole internet is laughing.

"So fast?"

Chen Chichi raised an eyebrow and immediately moved closer.

Others who were further away also took out their phones to check.

On Weibo's trending topics list, several terms related to Running Man were prominently featured.

#RunningMan2Premiere!#

#Dilraba joins Running Man 2!#

#Filming of the first episode of Running Man 2 has ended#

#NewMemberOfRunningMan2#

These terms are all in the top 20 of the trending search list, with the highest number of views exceeding 30 million!

"Wow, this year's popularity is really something," Li Chen exclaimed.

"It's trending on social media right after we finished recording. It looks like the ratings are likely to break new records this year." Zheng Kai nodded in satisfaction.

"Hey, I saw Xiao Xu trending on social media."

Suddenly, Yang Beibi exclaimed in surprise.

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly scrolled down and, sure enough, saw Xu Yan's name at the end of the list.

Who is Xu Yan?

#Xu Yan pins down Big Black Bull!#

#XuYanDilraba'sGatheringWithAcquaintances#

#……#

"Wow, Xu Yan, you're trending on social media!" Deng Chao immediately praised.

"It's not the first time," Xu Yan said, shrugging.

"At least this time he wasn't promoted because of criticism," Dilraba suddenly added with a laugh.

Everyone laughed.

Then, Chen Chichi, unusually serious, said, "Xiao Xu, this is a good start. At least it shows that people are starting to pay attention to you."

"That's right."

Deng Chao nodded, then added, "But you can't be arrogant. You still need to keep working hard during the recording."

"Yes, I understand."

Xu Yan nodded seriously upon hearing this.

At the same time, a warm feeling washed over him.

He could feel that the Running Man cast genuinely cared about him.

……

Steam rose continuously from the hot pot.

The group chatted and laughed, and the initial awkwardness from the daytime recording dissipated considerably over this hot pot meal.

Deng Chao raised his glass and smiled:

"Xiao Xu, Dilraba, welcome to Running Man."

Li Chen nodded and raised his glass:

"From now on, we are family."

Chen Chichi, with tripe between his fingers, mumbled, "That's right, cheers."

"Cheers."

Everyone raised their glasses and drank them down in one gulp.

Laughter echoed continuously inside the private room.

Even as the hotpot meal was nearing its end, the online buzz continued to grow.

Xu Yan looked down and clicked on the trending topics, then glanced at the comments.

"This Xu Yan is quite interesting."

"It's more than just interesting; I laughed until I cried today."

"At first I thought he was some nobody, but then I found out he's not even a nobody anymore, hahaha."

"That mouth is absolutely amazing, hahaha!"

"I burst out laughing during the part about drinking milk."

"Am I the only one who finds his interactions with Dilraba interesting?"

"..."

At a glance, there are many voices of approval at the top of the comments section.

Of course, there were also dissenting voices.

"It's really just so-so, not that funny."

"I found his joke a bit offensive."

"I remember this guy. Wasn't he a foul-mouthed, unknown black guy? How come he's suddenly on Running Man?"

"His mouth is indeed very sharp."

"..."

However, Xu Yan merely glanced at these negative comments and didn't take them to heart.

After all, he had endured the overwhelming criticism three years ago.

What are these doubts compared to this?

the most important is……

He saw that his Weibo followers were increasing!

Three years ago, at the height of his popularity, he had more than three million fans!

Don't be fooled by the fact that this number is far less than that of some top-tier superstars.

But that's because he's never used zombie powder.

All three million followers are high-quality users who have grown organically.

However, after he was criticized for his sharp tongue, his net worth plummeted by more than two million in just one month.

In addition, he has been out of the public eye for many years, and his fan base has dwindled to just over 400,000.

And this moment.

The number of followers, which had not increased for a long time, is slowly growing.

It increased from the original 43 to 46.

30,000 active followers!

"That's a great start."

Xu Yan's lips curled up.

"What did you say?"

Dilraba asked from the side.

"It's nothing."

Xu Yan snapped out of her reverie and joked, "I was thinking, this hot pot meal seems to cost more than my appearance fee for one episode."

Dilraba: "..."

She pursed her lips and rolled her eyes at Xu Yan.

She knew it.

We shouldn't have too many serious expectations of Xu Yan.

……

After finishing their hot pot meal, everyone returned to their respective hotels to rest.

After Xu Yan finished washing up and lay down on the bed, the system notification sounded in his mind.

[Secondary dissemination of the famous scene has been detected.]

[A preliminary shift in public perception has been detected.]

Positive discussion has been detected.

Happiness points +52000.

Balance: 105860.

Xu Yan's eyes lit up immediately.

I've reached 100,000 happiness points!

This is the reach of a national variety show!

And this was just a live stream.

It's important to understand that because the live stream doesn't have as many jokes as the main program, the number of viewers for the live stream is far less than the number of viewers for the main program.

He garnered over 100,000 Happiness Points in just one live stream...

The more the show airs, the happier we'll be!

Xu Yan's lips curled up.

This was awesome!

Before he could even finish celebrating, the system notification sounded again.

[The system has detected that the host's accumulated happiness points have reached the threshold for the lottery.]

[Advanced lottery access enabled.]

[Should I claim the stage rewards?]

Xu Yan became even more invigorated.

Finally, we can participate in the lucky draw!

"smoke!"

[Ding! Initiating a prize draw...]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained: 1 random A+ grade music resource exchange voucher, 1 advanced logic thinking ability card, and 1 random variety show luck burst card!]

Random A+ grade music resource redemption coupon?

Xu Yan was a little confused, so he checked the instructions.

[Resource Level:]

[Level B Resources: Capable of supporting a minor viral hit, with the potential to break out of a single platform.]

[Tier A Resources: Capable of supporting top-tier projects or highly disseminated works, with the potential to break into new audiences.]

[A+ level resources: These are near-blockbuster core resources, possessing extremely strong commercial and promotional value.]

[S-level resources: Phenomenal, legendary resources, enough to change an artist's career trajectory.]

Upon seeing this, Xu Yan's breathing became lighter for a moment.

If B-level resources can bring an obscure celebrity back into the public eye, then A-level resources are enough for the industry to seriously assess an artist's value.

As for A+ grade.

That's something that could be a turning point in your career!

Then.

He looked at the last two awards.

[Advanced Logical Thinking Ability Card: After use, it can enhance the host's ability to deconstruct complex rules, relationships, true and false clues, and on-site information.]

[Random Luck Blast Card for Variety Shows: After use, the host will experience a random burst of luck when participating in variety show games.]

That's a pretty good reward too.

"Use all of them."

The next second, a cool sensation spread through my mind.

My brain, which had been feeling heavy from recording all day, felt as if it had been gently wiped clean by an invisible hand.

Many things have become clear.

"Looks like the next round will be a test of both brains and luck."

Xu Yan's lips curled up in a smile.

Gradually, drowsiness crept in.

Xu Yan turned off the system panel, turned over, and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning.

Xu Yan walked out of the room, still half asleep. The production crew's car was already waiting at the hotel entrance.

Running Man 2, Episode 2.

Officially begin.
