This certainly wasn’t Wang Hao making wild guesses.
The luck dice at first I thought had only the ability to control luck, but now it seems it’s obviously not that simple.
The first time I absorbed the energy from the Dust bead, my endurance greatly improved; I could run for half an hour on the treadmill without even breaking a sweat, and when chased by a wild boar there was no doubt I could outrun it—my memory also saw a significant boost.
The second time was absorbing Lin Xiaoyun’s Power of Misfortune; I felt some changes in my body then, but maybe because Lin Xiaoyun’s own Power of Misfortune wasn’t very strong, the effect wasn’t very obvious.
The third time was underwater at my old home, absorbing that ancient jewelry, and I gained the Jade Eye ability, where real jewels would emit a halo.
The fourth time was when I went to ask Master Yuan to come out of seclusion, the White Tiger Talisman we unearthed, after absorbing that, my explosive power clearly went to the next level, today’s experiment at the gym was the clearest example.
So today, helping Feifei defy the heavens and change her fate...
Even changed her palm lines, so surely what I absorbed today couldn’t be too simple, right?
Wang Hao carefully thought about the time he absorbed Feifei’s Evil Qi of the Heavenly Slaughter Star; his body didn’t seem to have any special changes, which means it can be certain there were no improvements in physical fitness.
Memory? That doesn’t seem to have changed much either.
"What could it possibly be?" Wang Hao frowned and thought hard; it seemed... probably... there were no changes at all...
"There must be some change," Wang Hao closed his eyes trying to sense something and even pulled down his pants to look at his penis: "But it looks no different... Could it be music?"
Thinking this, he cleared his throat and started singing a random song...
Well, it did sound quite a bit better than before, but at best it was the level of a neighborhood karaoke king, mediocre at best, definitely not this.
"Could it be dance?" Wang Hao stood up again and tried the moonwalk he learned before Crossing... Seemed like no change, still just as suave, back then I did gain quite a bit of popularity with this...
"Damn it, what the heck is it?" Wang Hao scratched his head hard, thought for a long while but still couldn’t figure it out...
"Forget it, I’ll stop thinking about it," he tossed himself onto the bed, turning over: "I’m already pretty strong now; people shouldn’t be too greedy, right? Sleep, sleep!"
He said sleep, but how can one sleep when their mind is troubled by unsolved matters?
Wang Hao lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to calm his mind, wrestled with it for a long time—forget it, might as well surf the internet on my phone for a bit...
Speaking of which, what to do when you can’t fall asleep in the middle of the night is indeed a very profound question.
At this moment, Wang Hao really felt like someone who couldn’t sleep and wanted to have an epiphany about life in the dead of night...
"Let me Google how tall Jesus was..."
"Check who invented rock-paper-scissors..."
"What breed of dog did Yang Jian have?"
"Why do flies always rub their hands?"
"Ah, it’s so uncomfortable not being able to sleep!" Wang Hao lay tossing and turning at the window, feeling his brain become a jumbled mess, impatiently grabbed his phone and thought about texting Bai Yaning, but then decided not to.
We usually chat on WeChat about daily stuff, what we did today, whether the food was good or the fun was enjoyable, a little bit of concern for each other; these are all little topics between two people who have feelings for each other. But Bai Yaning mentioned these last few days that her father’s business was at a critical stage of discussing formal cooperation, and there were many dance and dinner parties every day, so it’s probably best not to disturb her.
"Ah, what else can I do..." Wang Hao fussed around for a bit, then decisively went to check Weibo, but before he could open it, his WeChat pinged!
Ice Princess Bai Yaning: "You bad guy, are you asleep?"
Eh?! Our Ice Princess Mua Mua is talking to me!
Wang Hao: "Not yet, not yet, I was just tossing and turning when your message popped up!"
Bai Yaning: "Are you suffering from insomnia?"
Wang Hao: "Yeah, I can’t sleep because I’m thinking of you!"
Bai Yaning: "Smooth talker, but I have some good news for you. Wanna hear it?"
Wang Hao: "What good news? Did you close a business deal?"
Bai Yaning: "Yep, I did, a contract worth forty billion."
Wang Hao: "Forty billion! That’s a huge contract, Jesus!"
Bai Yaning: "Is a forty-billion contract really that big? I feel like saying it’s a small gesture is a bit too arrogant? Maybe a moderate gesture, not particularly huge."
Jesus, that’s definitely a difference in worlds!
Forty billion, an amount your average Joe couldn’t touch in several lifetimes, is just a moderate gesture for the Bai family, that... this...
Wang Hao: "Can you stop crushing my spirit? I haven’t even achieved my small life goals yet..."
Bai Yaning: "That doesn’t matter. I don’t care about money."
Right, you don’t care about money, since you have more than enough of it...
Alright, let’s drop this ego-bruising subject. Wang Hao swiftly changes the topic: "Let’s not talk about that. When are you coming back?"
Bai Yaning: "In about a week. I’ve just closed this deal and need to celebrate; I also have to play some golf with dad. By the way, I’ll have a concert when I return. I just confirmed the schedule with the company. The announcement went out today at 3 PM. Will you come to see it?"
Wang Hao: "Watch! I’ll definitely be there!"
Bai Yaning: "Good, then I’ll arrange some tickets for you. You should get some sleep now, I’m going to rest as well."
Wang Hao: "Alright, muah!"
Bai Yaning: "Muah, goodnight."
Ah, our very own muah is going to have a concert, I gotta hurry and check out the news!
Quickly logging onto Weibo and right off the bat I see the top trending news—
"Ice Princess Bai Yaning ’Ice Age’ Asia Tour Concert Set to Kick Off, Opening at the Zhonghai Sports Arena with an 80,000-seat venue."
Retweets: 1,132,144, Replies: 856,321, Likes: 5,632,145.
Holy crap, the announcement was at 3 PM today, and by 10:30 PM it’s already got over one million retweets, eight hundred thousand replies, and five million likes!
The popularity of our Ice Princess muah is simply terrifyingly immense!
Actually, it’s not that surprising for Wang Hao to be so shocked, because although he knew full well that Bai Yaning’s popularity was outrageously high, he never had a truly concrete concept of it. Having seen the Weibo heat today, Wang Hao truly understands...
She’s absolutely a divine-level goddess!
