I'm a web novelist, and you want me to work in the entertainment industry?

Thus, due to the combination of various factors, the video's popularity continued to rise.

Gradually, many other official accounts also noticed the video and rushed to leave comments.

The fastest internet speed is still achieved by the official account of the Chinese website.

The reason was that netizens quickly noticed the changes in Cheng Che's following list—his first following was Tian Xiwei, his second was Yunnan Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, and as for the third... there was none!

Readers on the Chinese website immediately ridiculed it:

"@QidianChinese.com (Mentor Zero), Oi clown, come and pick your nose up right now!"

"Your first interest is Xiaotian, your second interest is Yunnan Province's culture and tourism, so who are you...?"

"You should really change that lousy name. Stop shamelessly trying to get close to your 'Grandpa Zero' all the time. Do you think anyone'll even acknowledge you?"

So, the official Chinese website account, which already boasts incredibly fast internet speeds, sensed the opportunity and quickly left a comment—

"Hmph, Brother Zero is just temporarily blinded by the temptations outside. He will eventually come back to her."

While this account on the Chinese website almost single-handedly provided half of the laughs in the comments section, cultural and tourism accounts from other regions also arrived on the scene one after another.

Mihai Cultural Tourism arrived earliest, their tone a mixture of resentment and pride:

"Although 'Fireworks Fade Easily' is a very nice song, and we people from Mihai were very moved after hearing about Grandpa Xie's story, why didn't Teacher Cheng Che make a rhyming verse for Mihai as well!"

"Mihai has scallion pancakes, figs, and seaweed houses; you could even write something for mackerel dumplings!"

Next, regarding Hangzhou's culture and tourism: "Actually, Hangzhou also has poisonous mushrooms, although not as many as Dali, but it's still worth writing about!"

"Teacher Cheng Che, do you still remember that 25-pound bighead carp by the fishpond lake?"

"Also, the song the teacher sang on the awning boat back then still hasn't been released. If they ever release the music notes, you absolutely have to ask me to co-create it (please, please)!"

Even the Chongqing Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism quietly left a comment in the comment section:

"Teacher Cheng Che, you're welcome to visit Chongqing sometime! Xiao Tian is a sweet girl from Chongqing!"

The Chongqing Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism left the fewest comments among all the cultural and tourism-related entries, just this one sentence, but it seems to have already killed the competition...

Besides these three, many other cultural and tourism-related websites also left comments, inviting Cheng Che to visit their places.

We have no choice but to invite you!

Cheng Che went to Mihai and sang "Fireworks Fade Easily." Although the story wasn't about Mihai, it was a song dedicated to a person from Mihai.

Since then, the seaweed-thatched houses along the coast of Mihai City have become a must-visit "must-see" destination for tourists from all over the world.

Speaking of Hangzhou, compared to Mihai, there are indeed fewer fun things to do in Hangzhou.

The song that Cheng Che sang on the awning boat is still unknown, but it sounds like a song describing the water towns of Jiangnan, and it's extremely popular online.

Hangzhou's cultural and tourism sector used it as background music to release a bunch of videos, attracting a huge amount of traffic.

As for Dali, it goes without saying that the number of followers has increased by tens of thousands in less than an hour since the collaborative video was released.

We're all Gen Z operators, and we can't ride this wave of popularity, so they're jealous!

As more and more official accounts joined the comments section, onlookers expressed their heartfelt感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, including admiration and awe).

"It's so abstract, so lively, so much fun, I love it!"

"Wait, are you guys in operations all Gen Z? How come you're all so fast at surfing the internet and so witty with your conversations!"

"Generation Z is ruling the world!"

……

……

Night was falling in Dali.

The pomegranate tree in the courtyard swayed gently in the moonlight.

Inside the small building, Teacher Yan had already returned from the hospital—the doctor said that she had only eaten a small bite of the chanterelle mushroom and hadn't even swallowed it yet, so there wouldn't be any major problems.

Just take some medicine and get some rest.

So Teacher Yan listened to the advice and went to rest.

Only Cheng Che and Tian Xiwei remained in the living room.

Cheng Che didn't rush upstairs because he was updating his daily dose of "Dragon Raja".

Tian Xiwei didn't go upstairs either... Anyway, according to her, she wanted to be the first person besides Cheng Che to know about the new plot of "Dragon Raja" tonight.

In other words, she wanted to personally supervise Cheng Che's writing and updates.

In terms of content, tonight's update is quite simple: the ace trio has completed their mission.

When our little panda Lu Mingfei was about to drown in the sea, he was rescued by Erii, who was in a frenzy.

Because of Erii's long, deep red hair, Lu Mingfei mistook her for... Nono before losing consciousness.

With this, the first part of the three-part Dragon Raja series has officially concluded.

"This Erii, she also has long red hair?" Tian Xiwei rubbed her chin. "Is it a coincidence?"

She wasn't asking Cheng Che, nor did she need his answer; she was simply pondering the plot on her own.

The main problem is that she has to keep thinking about it; otherwise, if one of the characters suddenly dies, she won't even have a warning...

"Speaking of which, quite a few readers have asked you in the book review section whether you will attend the awards ceremony later?" Tian Xiwei suddenly asked.

"Really?" Cheng Che glanced at the comments.

"Zero, you're pretty cocky! You won first place with a sci-fi short story. Are you going to the awards ceremony?"

"Can I attend the awards ceremony? I don't mean anything by it, it's just that I missed the book signing last time, which I really regret."

"Do I need to dress formally for the awards ceremony? Will we see Che in a suit? Wow, I really want to see that."

"No, Master Ling actually has female fans... Oh crap, so you're a male fan. My apologies."

Tian Xiwei laughed out loud when she saw the last message: "Your popularity among boys is in no way inferior to that among girls."

Cheng Che was exasperated and replied in unison below:

"I won't be attending the awards ceremony; it clashes with my schedule, and I don't have enough time."

Tian Xiwei clicked her tongue: "Although it is indeed the truth, I can already guess what kind of criticism you will receive in the next few days."

She coughed twice, trying to make her voice sound rougher and older.

"That guy, Zero, is short-sighted! He's so concerned with the entertainment industry that he refuses to participate in literary activities; he's utterly clueless!"

After she finished speaking, she even stroked her mustache in a pretentious manner, striking a pose like an "old scholar".

"Am I convincing?" she immediately asked. "Did you feel your temper flare up all of a sudden?"

"It doesn't seem like it." Cheng Che shook his head, looking into her bright eyes. "I didn't feel my temper suddenly flare up either."

"So what are your thoughts?" Tian Xiwei asked, resting her chin on her hands and blinking her big eyes.

"I'm thinking... I admit you're kind of cute, you Tyrannomon."

"..."

Tian Xiwei shrank her head, turned her face away, and remained silent for a long time.

After a long while, Cheng Che finally heard her mutter something under her breath:

"I'm not Tyrannomon..."
