Summit City, a high-end residential area.
Sweet Nina woke up from her dream, her face haggard, her eyes listless.
What happened last night kept her awake all night.
She never expected that she would encounter a
Even though she had closed the live broadcast room immediately, she knew very well that this matter would definitely not just pass by so easily.
"I wonder how things are now, has this matter passed?"
The more Sweet Nina thought about it, the more afraid she became. She nervously picked up her phone and opened the TrendTok app.
She entered her account backend.
<[TrendTok Profile: Sweet Nina]>
[Followers: 9.85 million]
Sweet Nina's expression instantly turned ugly.
Overnight, she lost over a million followers. Her total followers were originally 11.2 million, directly dropping below ten million.
It was too cruel.
[Liar! Big liar! Damn it, give me back my hard-earned money!]
[Where is this Sweet Nina? This is clearly an old grandma.]
[Refund! Refund! I want a refund!]
[I'm going to throw up! I need to wash my eyes!]
[Grandma, you're already this old, don't come out here harming young people. Hurry home and hug your grandchildren.]
...
The comments section of her work was filled with all sorts of insults, curses, and mockery, surging towards her like a tidal wave.
Sweet Nina was so scared that she quickly closed the app, not daring to look any further.
It's over, everything is over.
After a night of fermentation, the matter not only didn't subside but intensified.
For a female streamer who relies on her appearance to make a living, this was undoubtedly a fatal blow.
"Knock knock knock..."
Just then, there was a rapid knocking sound. "Nina, this is bad, something big has happened!" The assistant's voice came from outside the door, carrying a hint of panic.
Then, the assistant pushed the door open and entered, holding a laptop in her hand, her face anxious.
"Nina, our matter is trending!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Sweet Nina quickly took the laptop and started checking.

Suddenly, Sweet Nina felt her vision go black.
It's over, completely over!

At the same time.
"Beep beep beep..."
A rapid phone ringing woke up Hayley Winters from her sleep.
"Who is it? Calling so early in the morning, not letting people sleep?" Hayley Winters groggily picked up her phone.
"Sister, hurry and get up! It's great news!" The assistant's voice came from the phone, full of excitement.
"What is it? Did digital cash gifts fall from the sky?" Hayley Winters rubbed her sleepy eyes and said irritably.
"Sister, we gained a million followers overnight!"
"How many?!" Hayley Winters instantly sobered up and abruptly sat up from the bed.
"One million! A full one million!" The assistant repeated excitedly.
Hayley Winters quickly opened the TrendTok app to check her follower count.

She really gained a million followers.
What happened? Gaining a million followers overnight can't be a dream, right?
Ah, could it be...
Hayley Winters suddenly thought of connecting with a

However, the person involved, Elliot, was still sleeping soundly.
He slept straight until 1 PM before waking up from this sleep.
"Ah..." Elliot stretched, climbed out of bed, feeling refreshed.
He washed his face, and his stomach started rumbling.
Afterward, he made a bowl of instant noodles and, while eating, opened the
"Wow!"
Elliot's eyes widened. On the light screen's points data column was:

He actually gained so many points, breaking over a million.
What was the reason?
It wasn't hard to guess, his live broadcast from last night must have gone viral.
Elliot thought to himself, picked up his phone, and logged into his TrendTok account.
<[TrendTok Profile: Little Boy]>
[Followers: 700,000]
"Haha, I'm also an internet celebrity with 700,000 followers now." Elliot chuckled.
As expected, last night's live broadcast went viral.
He continued to click on the TrendTok trending list and saw several news items related to himself.
"Good!"
Elliot smiled happily.
The higher the popularity online, the more points he would gain.
"Open the mall."
Elliot rubbed his hands, eager to exchange for tools.
He clicked on the

Holy cow!
These are all good things.
Elliot became more and more surprised as he looked. AstraLink, GPS, even military satellite passwords were there. Any one of these items, if taken out, would be enough to shock the whole world.
It wasn't over yet.
The list reached the bottom.
Located at the very bottom of the list, and also the tool with the highest points:

"Holy crap!"
Elliot gasped, feeling like his brain was about to crash.

It was defying the heavens.
However, 200 million points was also an astronomical figure for him, completely impossible to gather in a short period of time.
"Forget it, I won't think about such a big killer weapon for now. I'll keep my feet on the ground and take it one step at a time."
Elliot took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
What he needed most now was a powerful
Elliot knew that after what happened last night, he had completely offended those female streamers who relied on beauty filters to deceive people.
He would definitely offend more people in the future.
It was obvious that he would face crazy retaliation.
Therefore, he had to take preventative measures in advance.
