Chapter 92: When the Water Reaches, the Canal Forms
Chapter 92: When the Water Reaches, the Canal Forms
Golden Sun Grand Hyatt Hotel, Huhai (similar to Shanghai).
Inside the luxurious suite, Ji Yu, fresh out of the shower, dried her damp hair with a towel and sat down on Gao Jing’s lap.
Gao Jing was browsing the internet.
Smelling the sweet fragrance emanating from the beauty in his arms after her bath, he smiled and said, “Do you want me to blow-dry your hair?”
“No need.”
Senior Ji twisted her waist slightly, her eyes curving with amusement. “You go ahead with your work. Don’t worry about me.”
Her gaze landed on the screen and widened in surprise. “You have two million followers?”
The computer screen displayed Gao Jing’s Weibo homepage.
The follower count shown was 2,072,580!
After signing the cooperation agreement with B Site, Gao Jing, through a professional agency, acquired a verified account with the same name on Weibo.
The ID “Gao Shan” was definitely already taken by someone else.
But in this world, most problems could be solved with money power.
As long as the price was right, nothing was impossible.
The original account holder only had a few thousand followers; the price Gao Jing paid was negligible.
Furthermore, on major platforms like Kuaivin and Flag Fish, he also secured verified accounts with the same name.
B Site, the “shabby little site,” was even more of a given.
Now, Gao Jing was a strategic partner of B Site and a permanent Lv9 Supreme Member.
A dazzling golden crown topped his profile picture!
Of course, the cost he paid for this was more than what an ordinary person could earn in several lifetimes.
“I really don’t understand you.”
Ji Yu frowned. “Even if you have money, you don’t need to burn it like this!”
“If you wanted fame, why be so mysterious? And why sign an agreement refusing all commercial endorsements and promotions?”
This wasn’t the first time Senior Ji had expressed her confusion to Gao Jing.
Gao Jing smiled and answered, “I have my reasons. I just can’t say, and I don’t want to lie to you.”
Right at this moment, Gao Jing felt incredibly happy and satisfied.
Ever since the cooperative promotion with B Site began on the 1st, it had started “raining” inside his Bronze Anchor.
First, a light drizzle, which slowly turned into a heavy downpour.
Rain of the Power of Faith!
The facts proved Gao Jing had chosen the right method this time.
Over 85% of B Site’s users fell within the 16-30 age range.
Middle school and university students made up the main part.
Compared to the jaded old-timers on Flag Fish, many of them were undoubtedly more innocent, kind, enthusiastic, and friendly!
B Site had fewer total members, daily active users, and monthly active users than other major video platforms.
But its community atmosphere and user stickiness were top-notch.
This was precisely why the two “Ma Bosses,” Old Ma and Little Ma, kept increasing their shares in B Site – it represented the younger generation and the future!
Gao Jing didn’t expect his carefully planned persona to be liked by all B Site users.
That was simply impossible.
But as long as a portion of them felt amazement, joy, gratitude, or admiration…
That was enough!
Now the “deep pool” within the Bronze Anchor was nearly overflowing.
An advancement was imminent!
How could Gao Jing not be happy? How could he not be satisfied?
Ji Yu gave him an elegant, coquettish eye roll. “You talk so sweetly; nicer than a song.”
Gao Jing wrapped his arms around her waist and laughed. “Seriously though, I need to thank you properly. You’ve worked hard this past while.”
Gao Jing had arrived in Huhai that morning.
He even had lunch with the CEO and COO of Joytainment Digital.
In fact, since the end of last month, Ji Yu had already set up in B Site headquarters as Gao Jing’s personal representative.
She was there to supervise the implementation of the plan.
Furthermore, Senior Ji played a crucial role in the negotiations with Joytainment Digital too, helping Gao Jing save, at the very least, millions!
Her contribution was easily worth all the luxury goods Gao Jing had bought her earlier.
The Senior Schoolmate bit her red lip lightly, shallow dimples appearing on her cheeks. “How do you plan to thank me?”
“Tell me anything you want,” Gao Jing replied without hesitation. “I’ll get it for you.”
Gao Jing wasn’t afraid of Senior Ji making an outrageous demand.
He had spent enough time with her to understand her personality quite well by now.
Ji Yu’s eyes flickered playfully. She leaned close to his ear and murmured a few words.
Her voice sent a tingling shiver through him.
Gao Jing felt a surge of heat in his chest.
He was just about to make his move.
But Ji Yu, having successfully flirted, hopped up and fled: “I need to blow-dry my hair! Keep working!”
Gao Jing could only laugh helplessly.
He couldn’t get too worked up just before a big event.
He refocused his attention on the computer, switching the webpage to B Site’s giveaway page.
It was just past 7:30 PM.
The timing was perfect!
As the prize wheel began spinning wildly, winning IDs cascaded like a waterfall in the display box.
[Congratulations to “Night as a Bride” on winning Annual Premium Membership!]
[Congratulations to “Little Cutie” on winning Annual Premium Membership!]
[Congratulations to “ZK2002” on winning a flagship phone!]
[Congratulations to “TurnsOutNamesCanBeThisLong” on winning a smartwatch!]
[Congratulations to “Xiaoxiang Rain” on winning Annual Premium Membership!]
[Congratulations to “Kitty” on winning…]
Tonight’s first giveaway round would award 360 Annual Premium Memberships, 360 laptop computers, 100 phones…
Who knew how many people were watching the exact same page at that moment?
Winner notifications would be sent immediately!
Gao Jing instantly felt it: the Power of Faith “drizzle” within the Bronze Anchor, which had weakened, suddenly surged into a “torrential downpour”!
He could almost hear the roaring rush of water.
In just a few minutes, the “deep pool” was completely submerged!
The Bronze Anchor hanging against Gao Jing’s chest suddenly became unbearably hot.
The next second, his spirit jolted!
Naturally and seamlessly, as water finds its course…
The Bronze Anchor had leveled up!
While completely expected, this still brought him immense joy and surprise!
The second upgrade of the Bronze Anchor didn’t unlock new functions.
Instead, the original 100 cubic meters of Storage Space volume expanded a full ten times, reaching a massive 1,000 cubic meters!!
The bottleneck that had restricted Gao Jing’s trade between worlds was immediately significantly eased.
Suddenly, the space inside felt vast and empty.
This was undeniably excellent news.
Previously, a single delivery of Coarse Salt to the Shan Yue Tribe could barely fill one of their large jars.
Now, he could bring enough to fill a huge vat!
With this vast quantity of salt, Gao Jing was confident that all seven hundred-plus clan members living in Shan Yue Village – young and old, men and women, whether ordinary Giants or Warriors – could eat truly proper, good salt.
In doing this, he could uphold his promise, stand tall before the Old Shaman Shan Yan who had given him invaluable help…
And before Shan Guoer!
Leaning back in his chair, Gao Jing smiled and closed his eyes.
The Power of Faith still poured ceaselessly into the Bronze Anchor.
He could feel it: this Power of Faith originated from sincere joy, profound gratitude, and even a touch of admiration!
Pure, positive energy.
After leveling up, the vessel for the Power of Faith no longer resembled a deep pool, but had transformed into a small lake.
Its capacity had also expanded by more than tenfold.
Filling this small lake wouldn’t be nearly so easy now!
Gao Jing understood well: the same strategy could probably only be used once or twice more, with diminishing returns each time.
Once people got used to it, there wouldn’t be as many strong, positive emotions.
He couldn’t just keep shearing the fat sheep that was B Site endlessly.
To level up again, he would most likely need to find other methods.
But for now, there was no need to think too much ahead. He only needed to savor the pure joy of success!
Gao Jing suddenly stood up.
Striding purposefully into the bathroom, he declared: “Senior! Prepare to meet my challenge!”
