Evolutionary Superstar

Chapter 12: Becoming an Online Celebrity

Looking at his list of skills, Lin Haoren reckoned he was making steady progress. At the very least, he had been very diligent and had hardly given himself any time to relax.

Even so, he didn’t feel physically or mentally spent as he had in the past; his body was bursting with energy and motivation.

Yesterday was quite busy but also very fulfilling.

His time was spent meaningfully.

After getting up, Lin Haoren washed his face and changed into winter sportswear, preparing to go for his morning run.

However, remembering what he had promised Oreo yesterday, he went to take it up.

Oreo woke up almost instantly.

Cats were generally light sleepers, not to mention they were most active around dusk and dawn. Thus, Oreo became very active after waking up; it seemed energized and excited.

Human, are we finally going for a run?!

"Look at how excited you are." Lin Haoren laughed, tapping the tuxedo cat’s nose in a playful manner before fetching the leash. "How come I didn’t know you were this enthusiastic about morning runs in the past?"

Oreo: ???

Oreo almost wanted to roll its eyes.

Lin Haoren had never been a fitness person. Plus, with his busy work schedule, he never invested any time into physical fitness. Thus, Oreo hardly had the opportunity to go out.

Of course, Lin Haoren had no idea Oreo wasn’t excited about the morning run itself.

It just wanted to create chances to meet other female cats, and possibly spread its seeds.

In fact, Oreo felt more urgent than ever, especially after Lin Haoren’s previous threat to snip off its precious balls. Better to impregnate some female cats first for some peace of mind. Otherwise, it wouldn’t sleep well.

If Lin Haoren knew what Oreo was thinking, he would have asked, "Where is the basic trust between human and cat?"

Just as Lin Haoren was about to leave the apartment, he suddenly remembered the big matter of last night. He hurriedly took out his phone and checked out his account on Galaxy Video and QuickBeat.

The 99+ notifications shocked him.

At the same time, his heart was overwhelmed with emotions, predominantly excitement. He knew his idea would go viral, but the results were still shocking to witness personally.

QuickBeat’s short video: 10.5 millions views! 200 thousand comments! 2.01 million followers!

Galaxy Video’s short video: 1.1 million views! 50 thousand comments! 200 thousand followers!

Lin Haoren took in a deep breath.

These statistics were truly impressive, even though this was the era of the internet. After all, the short videos were just uploaded last night!

Lin Haoren wanted to laugh with joy.

With numbers like these, he certainly wouldn’t have to worry about earning money. He could finally quit his food delivery job and focus on his dream.

For a moment, he also felt the numbers were a bit exaggerated.

However, he knew good content would never be buried by the platform’s algorithm. It likely received a nice push.

Furthermore, he had posted the short videos on a Friday before dinner. Naturally, the netizens were more active around this time of the week.

Lin Haoren opened his inbox and found countless private messages. The absurd number made his head spin. Thus, he readily gave up going through them.

There were likely many sponsorship offers and the like, but he wasn’t interested in any of them, even if it meant giving up 80-90% of his potential earnings.

After all, he couldn’t waste all of his time on side gigs. He had a dream to pursue.

Needing money was one thing; living only for it was another matter.

Seeing that his new accounts on Galaxy Video and QuickBeat had both met the requirements, he immediately applied for the creator reward program.

For a viral account, approval could be confirmed on the same day at the earliest, or within 48 hours at the latest.

The payout for his viral videos should be sufficient for his short-term needs.

After surfing through a few comments on his videos, Lin Haoren chuckled with a smile. The netizens were such interesting people.

To think there were so many female netizens requesting to become his girlfriend. It seemed even he managed to ride on Oreo’s coattail.

Seeing so many tearful requests for more content, he decided to upload a new short video on each account.

He had to satisfy the followers and keep their interests.

Yesterday, he had recorded a total of 13 short videos, but only 7 were quite acceptable. They were all raw footage with poor quality.

However, this couldn’t be helped.

He had an old phone and no money for a new one. Once his conditions improved, he would definitely replace his old phone and pick up some editing skills.

After all, uploading poor-quality, unedited short videos over the long term was bad for his account.

"Let’s go, Oreo!"

"Meow!"

While Lin Haoren was taking Oreo out for a morning run, the netizens following the Chasing Dawn account on Galaxy Video and QuickBeat were overjoyed when they discovered the new short videos.

"Yes! OMG, I’ve been waiting all night for more Oreo content! I’ve already rewatched the last video at least 60 times!"

"Looks like the OP has a conscience and didn’t keep us waiting for too long."

"You guys are so impatient. It hasn’t even been a full day since the last upload. The OP also has a life, you know? Sigh, I’m the only one concerned about the OP’s health and well-being."

"Upstairs, you almost had me in the first half. Your intentions are practically spilling out. If you want to be the OP’s girlfriend, get in line."

"Pftt! You, women, are all insane. No one even knows what the OP looks like, but you are all willing to become his girlfriend. Isn’t it just a cat? I also have one! How come no one wants me?"

"Just a cat?! Can your cat compare to Oreo!? Is your cat as handsome as Oreo?! Can it do backflips on command!?"

A single male netizen’s casual comment triggered a fierce reaction from almost every female netizen. They cursed him until he disappeared into oblivion.

Oreo’s charms were simply too infectious, easily piercing into the hearts of any cat lover. Its persona was simply too adorable.

Few could guard against its cuteness.

As such, Oreo stably secured its position as an online celebrity within the cat world.

Many netizens voiced their desire to meet it in person.
