Chapter 32: Positive Energy
Chapter 32: Positive Energy
Gao Jing’s laptop wasn’t his old one anymore.
He had upgraded to a better one.
The new laptop cost over ten thousand dollars, equipped with top-tier CPU, hard drive, and memory specs.
It booted to the desktop in just five seconds, operating as smooth as silk even with over a hundred tabs open.
Gao Jing hadn’t logged into Bilibili for some time.
Now he discovered his video “Animation Graduation Project in 3 Years,” posted under the username “G93,” had surpassed 380,000 views with over 30,000 likes.
The shares were impressive too—he’d earned tens of thousands of “coins”!
Comments overflowed with praise—people bowed in worship calling him “god-tier.”
Though just 60 seconds long, this video shot in the Great World was a game-changer for Gao Jing.
It brought the Bronze Anchor significant Power of Faith, revealing the secret to its upgrade.
No upgrade meant no Storage Space.
He couldn’t have brought back sixty cubic meters of premium Red Sandalwood otherwise.
Gao Jing now had 59,000 followers on Bilibili thanks to this video’s modest success.
He sat pondering at the desk.
Then pulled out pen and paper, neatly writing words:
Attention, Admiration, Amazement, Gratitude, Touched, Delight, Respect, Adoration, Worship!
These words felt connected to Power of Faith.
Their emotions linked back to him, transformed and absorbed by the Bronze Anchor.
After a moment, he crossed out “Attention.”
Pure “attention” couldn’t generate Power of Faith.
Otherwise, 60,000 follows would’ve flooded him with faith—
an easy cheat code for limitless power.
Too simple to be true!
He grouped the remaining words—Admiration, Amazement, Gratitude, Touched, Respect…
Into three concise characters:
Positive Energy!
Positive Energy meant optimistic, upward-driving emotion.
It could influence others and oneself, benefit society, even change worlds!
Likely the Bronze Anchor’s core faith source.
Take when he made that gold-chain guy suffer consequences, and people cheered “Good riddance!”
Decent payoff for that.
Some emotions weren’t pure positive—like Amazement.
But if harmless? They still fueled the Anchor’s power.
Quantity and purity varied.
His plan was clear now:
Get stronger Power of Faith by spreading positive vibes!
But how?
First, gain fame.
Visibility was key—attention forms the base layer.
How be admired unnoticed?
Celebrities had huge advantages here.
Scan any social platform’s top trends? Always entertainers and influencers!
But Gao Jing lacked talent for showbiz.
Sports stardom was a better fit.
He had the potential.
But the Bronze Anchor was his secret—spotlights meant risk.
Sports circles weren’t easy to enter either. Water ran deep there.
Unless Bronze Anchor’s Silver Scales fully drained beyond recovery? Not his path.
No other ways to fame?
Gao Jing set down his pen, staring at the screen.
Shaking his head, he rejected posting another Great World clip.
Moving the mouse, he opened a browser.
Logged into Weibo.
Today’s top trending topic:
“Wang Baoshi spotted dining at food stall with new girlfriend!”
Gao Jing touched his chin thoughtfully.
Wang Baoshi was heir to Jiangnan Mingde Group, founder of Ruby Fund.
Back from overseas two years ago, this 26-year-old had rocketed to fame.
His Weibo fans? Seventy million.
Not the most? But undisputed “Top Fire Starter.”
His hashtags trended like yesterday’s laundry.
Netizens raved about his wealth, lavish lifestyle, blunt rants, and rotating model girlfriends.
A born headline magnet.
Last Chinese New Year, a giveaway post on Weibo by him drew over 30 million shares!
Comments flooded with “Hubby!” from countless women.
Not tall or handsome, but that money power?
Gao Jing felt neutral toward Wang Baoshi, never followed his gossip.
Yet this “national husband” idea sparked inspiration.
Faith-earning inspiration.
After browsing headlines, he opened another tab.
Switched to Qiyu Live.
China’s largest streaming platform: billions of users, massive daily activity.
Gao Jing had his own account on Qiyu Live.
It was called “G93,” just like his accounts on Bilibili and Weibo.
In the past, Gao Jing had always been a free loader on both Bilibili and Qiyu Live.
He never spent money to recharge, only giving gifts to streamers using free Fish Roe.
This came from daily check-ins and treasure chests.
But tonight, Gao Jing recharged his account with 10,000 Fish Fin.
1 Fish Fin equaled 1 yuan, so 10,000 Fish Fin meant 10,000 yuan!
Feeling incredibly rich, he entered the streaming section. His eyes scanned through the most popular Gaming Zone and Beauty Zone.
Gao Jing usually didn’t play games. His old laptop could only handle simple games like Fight the Landlord.
So he had zero interest in game streams.
The Beauty Zone had the most girls, all sweet-talking and charming.
But Gao Jing just couldn’t stand watching Beauty Zone streamers anymore.
Their looks relied entirely on cosmetic surgery, heavy makeup,
and beauty filters—three deceptive tricks.
He wouldn’t even drop a free Fish Roe there!
He most often watched the Performance Zone and Outdoor Zone.
Since most outdoor streams aired during the day, Gao Jing entered the Performance Zone tonight, just like always.
Streamers in the Performance Zone mostly sang, danced, or played instruments,
attracting large crowds of grassroots artists.
They weren’t celebrity-level by any means,
but some had real talent.
Gao Jing followed over a dozen streamers here.
He tapped on his account’s Following list and selected the top streamer,
named “Mu Yu,” a singer in her twenties.
Gao Jing had followed her for a while.
Mu Yu’s looks were ordinary. Even with beauty filters,
she didn’t come across as particularly pretty.
But she played guitar quite well and sang skillfully.
Her voice just lacked uniqueness among artists.
Many streamers here were like that—
without uniqueness, standing out was difficult.
So Mu Yu always had low popularity.
When Gao Jing entered, her stream had fewer than 50 viewers.
The heat meter humiliated her.
“Welcome, G93!”
Mu Yu just finished a song, happened to spot Gao Jing’s ID,
and greeted him with a smile.
Her fans were few, so she had noticed the regular viewer “G93,”
who never spoke,
only silently dropped Fish Roe.
A quiet free-loader.
【G93 sent you 1 Super Rocket!!】
… ?
Mu Yu’s smile instantly froze.
The system notification flashing across her screen left her speechless.
She rubbed her eyes—this couldn’t be!
Someone just gifted her a Super Rocket!
Mu Yu had been streaming on Qiyu Live for almost a year.
Her biggest gift til now?
Just five gift planes from someone,
worth 500 Fish Fin in total.
But 1 Super Rocket cost 2,000 Fish Fin!
Since Super Rocket gifts broadcast site-wide instantly,
a flood of free Fish Roe gifters poured into Mu Yu’s stream.
The view count exploded instantly.
“Thank you, big brother G93!”
Mu Yu stumbled over her words, flustered:
“Please—what song would you like? I’ll sing it for you.”
Clasping her hands together in gratitude, her cheeks flushed pink:
“Thank you!”
Watching Mu Yu overwhelmed with excitement and disbelief,
Gao Jing smirked silently before his computer screen.
Mission accomplished.
He tapped his keyboard:
“Play that one—’a pale yellow long skirt, with fluffy hair.'”
Mu Yu froze:
“Huh?”
Instantly, the chat exploded with laughing comments.
It broke viewers apart!
