Chapter 200: Bilibili

The culprit!

It was none other than the new versions of "Dala Dala Bengba" and "Ethereal Pure Land"!

The total view count for "Dala Dala Bengba" on Bilibili had long since exceeded ten million!

Now, a brand-new version was sweeping through again!

The entire ACG community on Bilibili was as excited and lively as if it were the New Year!

Especially the latest "Ethereal Pure Land," which had completely exploded!

The exotic, dynamic song and the charming butterfly dance steps—

as soon as the video from the anime convention was uploaded to the site, it drew countless onlookers.

Its performance was even more ferocious than "Dala Dala Bengba"!

The MMD section had always been a lukewarm corner of Bilibili, but the arrival of this "Ethereal Pure Land"!

would change all of that completely!

From the moment the anime convention ended, the big shots in Bilibili's MMD section began creating derivative videos of "Ethereal Pure Land."

Even if they couldn't dance or sing themselves,

they could add their favorite character models into this "Ethereal Pure Land" track.

Ram and Rem's "Ethereal Pure Land"

Keqing and Klee's "Ethereal Pure Land"

Hatsune Miku's "Ethereal Pure Land"

In an instant, countless derivative videos related to "Ethereal Pure Land" sprang up like bamboo shoots after a rain!

This immediately caught the attention of Bilibili's ACG fans, and countless people flocked to it!

【Holy crap!! I never knew this section was so fun!!】

【If it weren't for "Ethereal Pure Land," I wouldn't even know this section existed!】

【My wife, Rem, dances so well!】

【The big shot is amazing! The perfect coordination of the camera data and the movements.】

【Others are watching something pleasing to the eye! But you guys having Naruto and Sasuke dance "Ethereal Pure Land" is just for laughs, right! Haha!】

【Haha!! The funniest one is the "Akatsuki organization dancing to 'Ethereal Pure Land,'" I sprayed my drink!】

【Damn!! Brothers!! Go to the dance section, it's going crazy over there!】

This breathed new life into the once-dead MMD section;

it was literally one song and one dance saving an entire section.

This was truly a massive victory for the MMD section in years!

This abnormal situation immediately caught the attention of Bilibili's operations staff.

They reported it to their superiors, who then reported the news directly to Uncle Chen.

Many veteran Bilibili users were very dissatisfied with his diversification strategy in recent years.

Most of their comments were like this!

Bi! Li! Bi! Li! Is! Doomed!

Trash! Chen Rui! Give! Me! Back! My! Youth!

Even though Bilibili had been developing well in recent years, he was still afraid that the users' words would become a self-fulfilling prophecy!

Now, the appearance of "Dala Dala Bengba" and "Ethereal Pure Land" provided Bilibili with two "treasures of the shop."

The claims that it was losing its ACG flavor or that Bilibili wasn't "pure" anymore would collapse on their own!

At the very least, he would get scolded a little less!

After all, nobody likes being scolded!

Chen Rui waved his hand and said: "Promote 'Ethereal Pure Land' across the entire site, and then hold an 'Ethereal Pure Land' challenge!"

Compared to the difficult Chinese-Japanese bilingual song, the dance for "Ethereal Pure Land" was relatively simple, easier to spread, and more pleasing to the eye!

One can only say, Chen Rui!

He understands the ACG community!!

And so, the entire Bilibili site began to run at high speed!

Once the announcement went out!

The entire Bilibili site boiled over!

In an instant!

Bilibili actually crashed!

A 404 page appeared before countless people's eyes!

It was like being at a critical moment and being told that "Aunt Flo" had arrived!

Everyone's mentality shattered!

【Damn it!! You pathetic little site, you crashed just like that?!!】

【This Uncle Chen is really useless. We gave you a chance, but you couldn't take it!】

【This guy is looking to get scolded again!!】

【I was just enjoying myself, and you pull this on me?!】

【You pathetic little site, you really are pathetic. Hurry up and get back up!】

After a minute, the Bilibili website returned to normal.

By this time, the entire dance section had been completely slaughtered, and everyone was excited.

The dance for "Ethereal Pure Land" was already popular with everyone,

and now that Chen Rui had added a bucket of oil to the fire, it was burning even brighter!

Countless dance-section uploaders began breaking down the dance moves in "Ethereal Pure Land."

In less than ten short hours, the video of Zhang Yang's live performance

had already reached five million views, one million likes, and six hundred thousand saves.

The bullet comments had also broken through two hundred thousand!

Such a terrifying growth rate refreshed the fastest record since Bilibili's founding!

"Ethereal Pure Land" also welcomed Bilibili's highest bullet-chat etiquette!

Countless people just opened the "Ethereal Pure Land" video, and a unique bullet comment floated across...........

【Congratulations! You've found the source of all evil!】

Subsequently, all kinds of bullet comments floated across the screen.

【Get out quickly, or you won't be able to leave later!】

【Director: Same spot? Yes, still the same spot, yes, right, still me!】

【Director: Save me a spot, I'm coming back right now!!】

【The cycle of heaven is fair, who does the Pure Land spare?! I'm staying here!】

【Song title: This floor is hot on the feet!】

【Hey! Who called the police?! It's toxic here, you guys come on over!】

【Director! There are too many people, the office is almost full!!】

【God knows how many times I've watched this, this is really the last billionth time!】

【Ahhh!! Someone save this child, I can't get out at all!】

【This new stuff is just so addictive, help me up, I can get even higher!! 】

【The place where the dream began!】

Originally, all of this was still quite normal.

But as Zhang Yang said "Saikou!" in the video, the bullet comments went crazy!

【High-energy ahead!】

【Saikou! Saikou! Saikou! Saikou! Saikou!】

In a flash!

Colorful "Saikou!"s filled the entire screen!

The Zhang Yang in the video was also submerged in the ocean of bullet comments; if you didn't adjust the transparency, you couldn't see him at all!

When Zhang Yang performed the seductive dance move,

even with the mask on, it was too much for people to handle!

The highest bullet-chat etiquette appeared once again.

One more time!

【High-energy ahead! High-energy ahead! High-energy ahead!】

【AWSL! ~~AWSL! WSL! WSL! WSL!】

【Ahhh!! Who can withstand this!!!】

【Mom, do you believe it? There's a girl wearing a mask shocking me!!】

【Moyu-gan~~!】

Just as the entire Bilibili site was falling into madness,

a conspiracy targeting the ACG community was unfolding silently!
