This Bad Luck is Awesome!

"Just checking out the virtual idol that Celestial King dropped."

"Here for the drama."

"Here for the drama +1."

"..."

Chen Mo saw the dense barrage of bullet comments in the livestream.

The contract termination between Xinggui Film and Television and Celestial King had thrown a wrench in the original concert plans.

It had also caused Xinggui Film and Television’s stock price to plummet.

But the incident had also skyrocketed Qiluo’s popularity.

She’d even trended multiple times.

This brought Qiluo to the attention of many casual observers who had never heard of her or even virtual idols before.

It massively increased her fame and hype.

And now, just as the stream began, it was attracting a huge crowd of onlookers eager to see what would happen.

He glanced at the viewer count; in just a short time, it had already surpassed one million.

That was a pretty good result.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Qiluo. I’m an exclusive artist with Xinggui Film and Television, and I’m a singer and dancer..."

Then, a female virtual avatar appeared on the livestream’s stage.

The avatar had a very traditional Chinese aesthetic, and her character design was excellent.

Being a virtual avatar, her looks were far more perfect than any real person’s could naturally be.

Moreover, Xinggui Film and Television had clearly put a lot of effort into her costume and design, which perfectly suited her image.

Her voice was on the cooler, more mature side, giving off a sophisticated vibe.

After her self-introduction, she began to perform her first song.

As the instrumental track started, Qiluo’s cool, mature voice carried through the song to the ears of everyone watching the stream.

Chen Mo had never paid attention to virtual idols before, but listening to Qiluo’s singing now, he found it surprisingly pleasant.

Her voice was beautiful, and her pitch was perfect.

Most importantly, the song quality was very high.

And it was a perfect match for Qiluo’s style.

"It looks like Xinggui Film and Television spent a lot of money hiring a top-tier producer to create custom-made songs for Qiluo."

After listening to a few songs, Xia Shiqing could also tell that Xinggui Film and Television had poured a ton of money and resources into Qiluo.

"It looks like the investment was worth it."

Chen Mo saw the viewer count continuing to skyrocket.

The bullet comments in the stream were also growing denser.

"Holy shit! This is a virtual idol?"

"Seriously, aside from her being an avatar, it feels exactly like a real person holding a concert."

"The virtual avatar is even better. You’d never find a female singer this beautiful in real life."

"Who’s her voice actress? So cool and full of charisma."

"Is that a real person singing? Don’t her skills just blow all those traffic-chasing idols out of the water?"

"I admit I was talking too much shit before. I’m sorry, Qiluo."

"I’m sorry, Qiluo +1."

"I declare that from this moment on, I am Qiluo’s number one fan."

"These are all new songs, and they’re all so good!"

"And Celestial King chose to terminate his contract over this? Is he insane?"

"It’s a good thing they terminated it. Celestial King’s style doesn’t match Qiluo’s at all. If he’d actually shown up, he might have ruined her vibe."

"Qiluo, I love you!"

Chen Mo glanced at the bullet comments. Almost everyone had been captivated by Qiluo’s charm.

Their opinions of her had completely changed, and many had even become her fans on the spot.

Next, Qiluo also performed a song-and-dance number.

Because she was a virtual avatar, she could pull off all sorts of high-difficulty dance moves.

And with added special effects, the performance was even more beautiful. The stage presence was far, far better than a real-world stage could ever be.

Her singing was so good, and her dancing was so beautiful.

Chen Mo didn’t even need to look at the comments to know that Qiluo’s debut showcase was an absolute success.

And not just an ordinary success.

After the two-hour livestream ended, the final concurrent viewer count was frozen at over 30 million.

Chen Mo picked up his phone and checked the Weibo hot search rankings.

He found that several of the top ten trending topics were about Qiluo.

#TheEraOfVirtualIdolsHasArrived!

#...

Chen Mo clicked on them and saw that everyone was talking about Qiluo.

There were all kinds of topics, from people saying Qiluo crushed so-and-so in the domestic entertainment industry to others saying Celestial King took a massive L by terminating the contract, and still others sharing ultra-high-definition character art of Qiluo.

In short, Qiluo’s popularity had completely exploded!

’It’s in the bag.’

Chen Mo smiled. With Qiluo this popular, as the parent company that launched her, Xinggui Film and Television’s stock price would definitely soar next Monday.

Originally, Xinggui Film and Television had been counting on Celestial King to give Qiluo a boost and raise her public profile.

But when Celestial King terminated the contract at the last minute, Xinggui Film and Television had no choice but to bite the bullet and proceed with the concert.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Without Celestial King’s support, Qiluo’s popularity exploded instead.

He believed Qiluo’s current level of hype was definitely beyond what they had ever imagined.

It was just a strange twist of fate; the contract termination with Celestial King trended multiple times, building up Qiluo’s name recognition.

Combined with the meticulously prepared songs and dances, plus the expensive costumes, designs, and special effects, it had completely detonated this wave of hype.

"Xinggui Film and Television’s stock is going to hit its limit up on Monday."

Xia Shiqing also saw how popular Qiluo had become. She knew that the "secret to wealth" Chen Mo had given her had paid off once again.

Chen Mo was just too mysterious.

She had the personality of a strong, independent woman, but the look she gave Chen Mo right now was filled with unconcealable admiration.

Since she and Chen Mo had been together, he had never once missed the mark.

Hearing this, Chen Mo just smiled.

He already knew that a turning point would come for Xinggui Film and Television and that its stock price would rise afterward.
