CHAPTER 187: POWER OF SOCIAL MEDIA.

The following morning, the Western Region was bustling with news and rumors. Workers gathered and talked in low voices.

On the road, pedestrians walked in two and three discussions about the major update.

"Can you believe it? The Hi-Cloud is so magical."

"I can’t believe it. I saw our Young Miss beautiful image yesterday in her room. I’ve been dying to see her face and yesterday I got the chance."

"That’s nothing. I heard some were lucky and added female disciples of the Dust Valley Sect as friends."

"Really!"

"Yes. Do you know how many beautiful girls are in the Dust Valley Sect?"

"Ah! Why didn’t I have money to buy the Platinum Grade Spirit Link?"

"Idiot! If you have the Platinum Grade Spirit Link, it will still be useless. I heard you cannot take pictures with it, only the Noble Grade Spirit Link can do it."

"So what? At least I can join the Hi-Cloud and add friends to my...profile."

"I heard Young Master Zhao Tian is the most popular person on the Hi-Cloud right now."

"I also heard that and he promised many people Platinum Grade Spirit Link."

"What!?"

The discussion about the Hi-Cloud was spreading like wildfire. In every nook and cranny of the region, it was the only conversation.

Many that did not know how to set up their profile were begging others to assist them.

But that was not the main issue.

At the beginning, many thought there wasn’t any difference between the Platinum Grade Spirit Link and Noble Grade Spirit Link, but they were wrong.

With the advent of Hi-Cloud, they realized how wrong they were.

Without the ability to take pictures, they discovered they were lagging behind. People with the Noble Grade Spirit Link were sharing beautiful pictures catching everyone’s attention.

Compared to people with Platinum Grade Spirit Link that could only write text, people ignored them.

Inside the Fang clan mansion, the Fang clan Young Master faced his father.

"Father, can you give me money to buy the Noble Grade Spirit Link?" he asked.

"Why? For the Hi-Cloud?" his father replied, raising his brow.

The Young Master did not respond, but his silence was enough. His father shook his head and responded.

"Stop wasting your time on meaningless things. We’ve a lot of work in the clan, choose one and supervise it."

"Father don’t call it meaningless. If it is meaningless, do you think the Thousand Wealth Chamber will release it?" he countered.

"Besides, I’ve seen many smaller clans becoming popular, especially the Bai clan Young Miss." he added.

"So what? Can you eat popularity?" his father scoffed.

Although he agreed the Thousand Wealth Chamber would not create something that would be meaningless.

Still, they had yet to discover any great aspect of the Hi-Cloud except for the conversation sharing.

Left with no choice, the Young Master could only leave his father’s presence with a deep frown.

Looking at the departing back of his son, he creased his brow. He took out his Noble Grade Spirit Link and opened Hi-Cloud.

Instantly, his page was filled with the trending post. Also, there were many suggested friends for him.

He ignored the suggested friends and scrolled downward. His eyes caught the picture of the Bai clan Young Miss practicing her sword techniques.

Under her picture, there were over a hundred thousand likes and ten thousand plus comments.

"How could this be?" he whispered, his face etched with disbelief.

Just posting her picture and there were already hundreds of thousand people leaving a comment.

Curious, he opened the comment section, and his jaw dropped.

The comments left him breathless.

"Just like a fairy..."

"Ah! Now, I can die in peace!"

"Goddess, let me worship for the rest of my life."

"Goddess, please make me your slave as long as I can touch your hand."

He closed the comment section quickly and took a deep breath to calm his erratic heart.

"This is insane!" he mused.

"Let’s see her total friends."

He clicked on her picture and the interface changed, displaying the Bai clan Young Miss page.

"Heavens! Over five hundred thousand!" he exclaimed in shock, and he could see it was still increasing.

It had not been a day since the Hi-Cloud was released—yet the Bai clan was already causing waves.

Who knew what would happen in one week, one month, or one year? He couldn’t take the risk.

Without hesitating, he left his room in a large stride.

Meanwhile, inside the Bai clan, the Bai clan Young Miss had a faint smile tugged at the corner of her lips.

She did not expect people would react to her picture in such an exaggerated manner. She only posted a picture, yet many people were screaming her name, wishing to die for her.

Everything felt like a dream.

She had always focused on her cultivation and did not have time to make friends. The few friends she had were just acquaintances she met during the banquet.

But watching her growing number of friends, it gave her an indescribable feeling.

Just then, her maid rushed into the courtyard.

"Young Miss..." she shouted excitedly.

Bai Feng creased her brow and asked, "What happened? Why are you running?"

Stopping a couple of feet from her Young Miss, the maid took a deep breath. "Young Miss, there are many people in front of the gate wanting to see you."

"What!"

"Yes! They claimed to have seen your picture on Hi-Cloud."

Instantly, it dawned on Bai Feng what was happening. ’How could this be?!’

She only thought everything would end on the Hi-Cloud, but she was wrong. Some were daring enough to come to her clan’s mansion.

She was both furious and inwardly happy. Every lady wants to be acknowledged for their looks. Although she might put on a cold facade on the outside,

She liked being praised with all the attention on her.

"Feng’re, what are you going to do with the people outside?" her father asked as he entered the courtyard.

"Father, I don’t know." she shook her head.

Her father thought for a moment and responded, "Why don’t we use this opportunity to promote our stores? Or recruit them."

With their clan going to explore the Never-Ending Forest, they needed a lot of fresh and talented people.

Therefore, the rising popularity of his daughter just happened at the right time.

"Father, I’ll do that." she nodded and took out her Noble Grade Spirit Link.
