Inside the rented apartment, Li Jing's face was flushed, her hands moving like a wound-up machine, furiously tapping on the keyboard.
The speed was almost making the keyboard smoke.
But Li Jing didn't care at all.
She had only one thought in her mind: to be faster, even faster, so she could edit and release the video of A Bao fighting the brown bear in Lin Fan's livestream.
Ever since she edited the video of A Bao as a kung fu panda and it went viral.
Almost all bloggers on the internet were following A Bao, this "treasure panda."
Don't underestimate the keen sense of smell that self-media people have.
Moreover, A Bao was now practically synonymous with traffic.
On every short video platform, any video featuring A Bao was wildly popular.
Even if you were a complete newbie to self-media, all you had to do was cut a clip of A Bao playing with a wooden block and you'd instantly gain tens of thousands of followers.
Any video featuring A Bao had views so high it would make you question reality.
With such widespread popularity, self-media bloggers were like sharks who smelled blood, all rushing to the scene.
Recording Lin Fan's livestream 24/7 was no longer something only Li Jing was doing.
To get the latest A Bao footage first, almost every blogger was eager to pounce.
In this situation, even Li Jing's typing speed, honed over twenty years of singlehood, wasn't enough.
When she finally finished editing and posted the video to all the platforms, she realized she was too late.
Several major bloggers had already posted the video of A Bao beating up the brown bear.
All the videos were incredibly popular, without exception.
The comment sections of all the short video platforms were flooded.
A cute and cuddly panda, head-on against a top-tier predator of the forest.
That extreme contrast of cuteness and fierceness, the “猛” (fierce) factor, brought an unparalleled impact.
“My god! A panda pushing around a brown bear? Is this video real?”
“I’ll bet my head, this video is 100% real! I watched the whole livestream, it was ridiculously amazing!”
“Watched the entire livestream +1! A Bao is awesome! A bear hug followed by a shattering kick to the jaw! I’m getting goosebumps!”
“When I saw A Bao brutally beat the brown bear, I got so excited I couldn't hold back and punched my computer screen! But I don't regret it! I did it!”
“A Bao fan for life! So cute! It stood up to protect the golden monkey and its baby!”
“I cried! A Bao fought the monkey troop yesterday, and today, to save the baby, it went head-to-head with the top predator of the forest!”
“When I saw A Bao, without a second thought, stand in front of the brown bear, baring its teeth, I, this 6 foot tall man, was moved to tears!”
“Such a cute and fierce panda, so full of love, how could we not love it? How could we not love it!!”
“The monkey troop fought tooth and nail to save its baby, but A Bao, without hesitation, rolled in with an 'Invincible Whirlwind' and just went for it! It struck a chord in my heart!”
...
News platforms were flooded with A Bao-related news.
A Bao's previous popularity, smashing the giant crocodile and winning against three wolves, had already blown up the internet.
But adding this new feat, going head-to-head with the brown bear to save a monkey baby, it completely dominated the internet!
On the major trending lists, the top ten news topics were instantly refreshed!
All were dominated by topics related to the kung fu panda!
A famous singer in the entertainment industry was supposed to announce their upcoming concert.
Seeing the trend, they immediately postponed it!
Come on!
With A Bao's current popularity, it was practically sucking up all the attention on the internet!
To compete for traffic with it?
Isn't that just asking to be obliterated?
It wasn't just this singer, but every celebrity who planned to make an announcement in the near future, all took the same approach, avoiding A Bao's spotlight!
With A Bao's current popularity, it was truly a case of “谁碰谁死” (Whoever touches it dies), no exaggeration!
A popular young idol had already scheduled an event. Seeing A Bao's momentum, they were terrified and changed the date overnight.
Most of their fans understood, but there are always some dimwits in this world.
One intellectually challenged "little fairy" posted on Weibo, expressing her dissatisfaction:
“So disgusting, this stupid panda is preventing my brother from participating in the event. Why didn't the brown bear just slap it to death?”
As soon as this comment was posted, the young idol almost fainted on the spot. He practically instantly responded to this brainless fan.
“Go to hell! You f***ing b***h! Don't you dare harm me! I don't have fans like you!”
He couldn't even maintain his image and just started cursing!
The idol's hand holding the phone was shaking, his face pale.
After posting that response, he still didn't feel safe. He quickly started tapping away on his phone.
“A Bao... No, Bao ge! Bao ge is so lovable, I'm your fan! I'm your fan for life!”
This idol's extreme self-rescue move had netizens in stitches.
“I’ve already pulled out my 40-meter long blade, are you telling me to put it away?”
“My blade was halfway through the chop! What do I do now? You're making this so difficult!”
“Tsk tsk! First time seeing a young idol who isn't clueless, and his reaction is so quick! I'm going to follow him and see if he's got the skills!”
“I'm going to follow him too, not many idols are this clear-headed!”
...
This wave of textbook-style self-rescue not only saved the idol, but unexpectedly gained him a bunch of new fans, turning a misfortune into a blessing.
The idol, seeing this, was overjoyed. He immediately began to wholeheartedly speak up for A Bao and even manually reposted A Bao's videos.
At first, he was just doing it for the persona and to gain followers.
But after watching A Bao's videos, he genuinely became a fan.
How could anyone resist a panda that was so cute, so fierce, and so loving?
Other celebrities in the entertainment industry, seeing this, followed suit and immediately reposted A Bao-related videos.
For a time, Kung Fu Panda A Bao's popularity reached new heights, spreading across half the sky!
