Then, he patiently waited. As a result, he discovered that after the video was released, its view count was skyrocketing.

Within just one hour, it had surpassed an astonishing 1,000,000 views!

By midnight, the video’s view count had reached an astonishing 2,000,000!

Is this... another bonus from my luck value? Qin Mu couldn’t help but swallow as he looked at the data in his account’s backend.

Previously, at this time, a video would typically get a few hundred thousand views.

After each video’s exposure period ended, the best ones only reached 10,000,000 views.

But now, just two hours in, this video had already reached 2,000,000 views!

His follower count had also directly surpassed 6,000,000 and was heading towards 7,000,000!

This sudden surge was truly abnormal.

The most likely explanation was that his luck value had triggered the platform’s recommendation algorithm, inadvertently causing the video to go viral.

And in the video’s comment section, different kinds of comments finally started to appear.

Although most comments described the weather or shared personal moods, a few were posted by "newbies."

"This old man from Stealing melon village has some nerve, acting so shamelessly?"

"Why is everyone in the comments talking about the weather? Is there some specific reason for this?"

"I’ve encountered an old man committing fraud before. After I called the police, the officers also had us settle it. If I had known this UP earlier, I would have insisted on him getting a tough sentence!"

"The UP is fierce, man. He’s actually sent so many people to prison? Isn’t he afraid of retaliation?"

"I don’t know why, but I always feel there’s something weird about this comment section."

"..."

These "normal" comments, mixed in with a stream of posts about personal moods, looked quite out of place.

In no time, the number of comments reached the thousands, with several hundred of them being questions from newbies.

These users were all new followers Qin Mu gained from the increased exposure, unaware of past "traditions."

I hope they don’t get led astray, Qin Mu silently prayed, looking at the hard-earned normal comments in his comment section.

This batch of fans currently seemed much better than the old slicksters. They were uncorrupted. And they didn’t shy away from him.

「Qianzhou. A certain residential complex.」

"Damn!" Ma Ming stared intently at his computer’s backend and couldn’t help but let out a curse.

As the site owner, he had been monitoring the traffic and comments on the Study Law Alliance Forum.

Suddenly, he discovered the traffic on the Study Law Alliance Forum was inexplicably surging.

The number of daily active users had sharply increased, causing the server he rented to experience noticeable lag.

Having no choice, he had to urgently add funds to upgrade the server.

Could it be... the UP posted a video again? He swallowed, considering the only possibility.

His forum might have seemed like a law discussion board, but in reality, it was a fan gathering place. He hadn’t engaged in any user acquisition activities.

The only thing that could cause such a surge in traffic had to be Qin Mu posting a video.

But whenever Qin Mu posted a video, although there would be a significant increase in traffic, it had never been as overwhelming as today.

Something’s not right; there must be something off, Ma Ming frowned, subconsciously taking out his phone.

And then he discovered that other video platforms were also promoting Qin Mu’s latest video.

This video concerned the elderly and was spreading very widely.

Someone had reposted Qin Mu’s video to other platforms, where it immediately gained massive exposure. By a stroke of luck, the exposure of his fan base grew as well.

So it’s started to go viral across the entire internet. Looks like I won’t be getting any sleep tonight. After putting down his phone, Ma Ming sighed and looked at his computer’s backend.

He began searching for related comments and screening the new posts on the forum. The forum was now registering dozens of new users every second.

The growth rate was terrifying, with more and more newcomers joining Qin Mu’s fan community.

But, as they say, "when the forest grows, all kinds of birds appear." It was inevitable that a few would be overly audacious.

If they implicated the entire forum, all his hard work would be for nothing.

After some thought, he opened the backend and drafted a message.

He sent it to these new users: "This forum is for discussion only. New members must strictly adhere to the confidentiality agreement. Do not disclose any forum information to avoid unnecessary trouble." Following the message, a confidentiality agreement was also attached.

The agreement contained many details, but the core rule was that under no circumstances should the forum be revealed to Qin Mu.

Meanwhile, inside the forum, many newcomers had already started posting.

"I didn’t expect our organization to be so lively internally? Are there so many fans of **?"

"Weird, why can’t I type out the word **? It turns into asterisks when I try to type it?"

"Can someone explain the confidentiality agreement to me? Why do we have to keep it secret from **?"

"What would happen if ** found out?"

"..."

The newcomers’ posts almost invariably contained the two-asterisk symbol. Below these posts, many old-timers began to surface and guide the newcomers.

"Since you know you’re new here, you should follow the rules more closely. Are those two characters something you should be typing?"

"Here, we refer to that man as ’the UP.’ I’ve been on this forum for so long, and this is the first time I’ve seen so many reckless newbies."

"Have you all forgotten the legends surrounding the UP?"
