Let's debut, fairy!

Chapter 16 Let's start with a number.

Bed.

The two remained seated facing each other.

Su Xintang asked in shock, "They have 800,000 followers, how can there be so many?"

"They're not believers, they're fans. Besides, the two of them together only have 800,000, how is that too much?"

"In the mortal realm of Hegu, apart from the seven or eight largest countries, the rest of the smaller countries each have a population of only seven or eight million. In other words, the gods worshipped in an ordinary country have at most seven or eight million believers."

That's a true god! If it were a spirit god, it would only have a few hundred thousand followers, maybe double that, but at most it wouldn't exceed five hundred thousand.

"Eight hundred thousand is not much here. With your looks and skills, if you opened an account, getting two million followers would be a piece of cake."

"Cough...cough cough cough..." Su Xintang almost choked to death by this sudden number!

She pressed further, "What do you mean by 'opening an account'?"

"It's like them, registering an account." Meng Bai gestured with his phone again, "It's like setting up a... temple for you online?"

"And then, I'm not even a god, yet I have two million followers...?" As Su Xintang spoke, she felt her heart about to stop.

“I’ll say it again, you can’t treat them as believers. But then again, if they can provide you with offerings, it doesn’t seem like there’s much of a difference…”

Before he could finish speaking, Meng Bai felt his hands being grabbed tightly!

Su Xintang held his hand, suppressing her excitement, and said, "Is this really true? Don't lie to me!"

"Why would I lie to you?" Meng Bai said, holding up his phone. "I'll register a Douyin account for you right now..."

As he spoke, Meng Bai stopped.

"What's wrong?" Su Xintang asked anxiously upon seeing this.

"Don't you have an ID card?"

What is an ID card?

"It's about household registration. Do you have household registration in your area?"

“Yes, each sacred island has an identity token, and only those with the token can reside on the island permanently.” Su Xintang understood.

So she asked again, "Do I need an ID card to register an account?"

"Not only this, but also every aspect of life requires an ID card."

"How do I get my ID card here?"

"This is probably something that can't be resolved in the short term."

Su Xintang's past is a blank, and the path of being identified as an unregistered person due to having more children than allowed by the census is blocked.

Objectively speaking, instead of trying to get a local ID card, it might be simpler to get a household registration abroad, then apply to study in China, and finally obtain permanent residency.

Thinking of this, Meng Bai comforted him, "It's alright. If you don't have an identity, just use mine to open an account first, test the waters, and see how the incense burns."

After saying that, he took out his phone and started registering.

After registering, he thought about it and decided to use his real name, [素心棠], as his ID, fearing that using something else might affect the incense's efficacy.

After registering, he added, "Let's find a suitable place to shoot a video when it's light tomorrow."

"Film a video to debunk the rumors?" Su Xintang was still thinking about debunking the rumors.

Generally speaking, it would be best to have Su Xintang create a debunking video based on the current rumors, as this would generate a significant amount of initial traffic.

But Su Xintang is no ordinary person; she is a contestant with unique skills and doesn't need to rely on this kind of popularity.

Once consumed, it will inevitably lead some netizens to believe that the previous rumors were orchestrated by Su Xintang to gain popularity.

When Bu Jie and Ning Meng saw the fabricated video from the marketing account, their first reaction was to think that Meng Bai was creating an account.
It's not surprising that they think this way, because there are too many people doing this kind of thing online.

Based on the above considerations, Meng Bai shook his head and said, "Let's not deny it. Let's try to avoid getting involved in such conflicting topics. Anyway, you were wearing a helmet on the subway, and netizens haven't seen your face."

"What kind of video should we shoot?" Su Xintang asked curiously.

Meng Bai showed Su Xintang several videos of female martial arts bloggers, saying as they watched, "First, change your appearance, from a girl in a white dress to a female knight in green, then perform a sword routine?"

Currently, this type of content seems to be most suitable for Su Xintang.

“I don’t have a sword, I only have this.” Su Xintang said, raising the two sword-shaped bracelets on her wrist for Meng Bai to see.

"Can't this get bigger?" Meng Bai flicked the bracelet on her wrist with his finger.

“No, this is just a magical artifact, not a magic treasure. How can it be made big or small?” Su Xintang shook her head.

“It’s alright, we can just order a sword online and it will arrive in two or three days. We can also pick up a stick to practice with tomorrow. Maybe picking up a stick from the roadside will give the audience a better sense of immersion.”

"Do you have any money left?" Upon hearing that she wanted to buy a sword, Su Xintang's first thought was money. Swords from the He Gu clan were all extremely expensive.

"There's still 21,000 left. Half a month's salary will be paid next month."

"Is it enough?" Su Xintang asked with some concern. "If you want to create more accounts, it's not quite enough. You'll have to find a way to earn some more." Meng Bai didn't hide anything. Under normal circumstances, if Su Xintang could successfully create accounts, making money would be relatively easy.

But since she doesn't have an ID card, it's not easy for her to earn some money.

Furthermore, we have to guard against many things.

In short, let's start by creating a name and testing the effects of the incense offerings.

If it works well, then while Su Xintang has enough magical power, we should try to get her an identity abroad.

"How about you help me find a job?" Su Xintang was really embarrassed to let Meng Bai pay for everything by himself.

"You don't have an ID card, so you can't do anything except be my leading lady." Meng Bai chuckled.

"Heroine?"

"It's the female lead in the video, I definitely won't be on screen." Meng Bai realized that the meaning of the female lead on the other side of the river was probably very different from that on Earth.

"I don't quite understand."

"I'll take you to see a movie another day."

"it is good."

Do you know what a movie is?

"do not know."

"You still say it's good?"

"You wouldn't go so far as to harm me, would you?"

"Haha, you can even be my master. For example, you can tell me how much lifespan you can gain after becoming a god." Meng Bai teased her as he chatted.

"Those who attain the position of a spirit god can have their lifespan increased by 720 years, which is an increase on the basis of their original lifespan."

"From the spiritual realm upwards, attaining divine status will grant us another 1,800 years! Perhaps we can attain divine status together then and share the path to immortality."

As Su Xintang spoke, she suddenly became happy, as if the divine position was within reach.

Meng Bai, influenced by her, also became amused.

He got off the bed with a laugh, checked the time, and said, "It's already 12 o'clock. Let me take you to a room to rest. We'll be busy tomorrow."

"I'm not going." Su Xintang didn't want to be alone.

“Then…” Meng Bai didn’t say it outright, but just kept gesturing about the room with his hands.

“I don’t need to sleep, I can just meditate in the chair, you go to sleep.” Su Xintang said, getting off the bed as well.

"Alright, I'll take a shower." Meng Bai didn't dwell on it. Su Xintang was a celestial spirit, not an ordinary girl, so there was no need to overthink it.

A few minutes later, he took his clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

Su Xintang did not meditate, but instead put her hands behind her back and walked to the window.

The window wasn't large, and a dark blue curtain hung there. Su Xintang slid the curtain to the right and gently pulled open the window.

Then he peeked out and peered through the gaps between the buildings at the distant streetlights.

"So beautiful~" She leaned against the window, reached out and pulled off the jade ribbon on her head, letting her jet-black hair flutter in the wind.

At that moment, she suddenly experienced a sense of peace that she had never felt in the heavens.

Unfortunately, peace is always broken.

A strange noise came from the building across the street, which was very close by.

Su Xintang, with her keen hearing and sharp eyesight, heard someone softly chanting, as if weeping and lamenting, yet seemingly enjoying themselves immensely.

"?" Su Xintang was a little puzzled, so she listened more carefully, and then...

She slammed the window shut, drew the curtains, and quickly went back inside. She sat cross-legged on a chair, quickly smoothing a few strands of hair to cover her flushed cheeks.

'I'll make some money sooner or later and move out of this dilapidated house.'

After venting her frustrations, she began to try circulating the incense sticks on her wrist.

About ten minutes later, Meng Bai came out, drying his wet hair.

As soon as he came out, he saw Su Xintang covered in light spots.

The distribution of these light spots is quite interesting; the white and green ones are mostly found on the hands, arms, and shoulders.

As for purple and gold... heh...

"I almost forgot about this part. I need to touch the glowing spots on Su Xintang's body," Meng Bai thought to himself.
