Ye Lingchen was dumbfounded.

He rubbed his eyes and counted it several times before ascertaining that he was correct.

Gasp—

More than four million!

Ye Lingchen took a breath. If he remembered correctly, his popularity value was less than two-and-a-half million when he viewed it the last time.

It nearly doubled! It was motherf*cking going against all conceivable logic!

Ye Lingchen had ample knowledge of the difficulty faced when increasing his popularity value. It was only during the appearance of the giant python and Old Tortoise that his popularity increased in the millions. It was considered quite lucky if a song or novel could have it grow by more than 100,000 in terms of popularity value.

It was a direct increase of more than two million!

That enormous sum dropped from the sky!

Ye Lingchen himself found it hard to believe that such an enormous sum just dropped from the sky!

After the excitement, he took a deep breath and began assessing the recent events to determine what made his popularity increase so explosively.

The only thing he could think of was the pilot of iPartment. After the ratings exploded the earlier night, it was logical for there to be such a tremendous increase in terms of popularity. However, it definitely would not reach such a high sum. According to Ye Lingchen’s estimate, getting at least 150,000 was considered not bad already.

He turned on his mobile phone and logged directly into Weibo. It was when he saw the top trending searches that he was given quite a surprise.

Unexpectedly, Superman Y’s appearance caused such big waves again. It really was a surprise. If he knew earlier, he would have struck a couple of poses to show his heroism.

However, it still…did not add up!

His popularity increased by more than two-point-three million people, and it was already good enough if the sum of those two events totaled one million in popularity value!

What else happened?

Ye Lingchen frowned slightly. He could not think of any other reason and did not find any related clues on the internet too. He decided not to give it too much thought since it was not a bad thing anyway. In fact, he was hoping that there would be more surprises like that.

Little did he realize that a major event was happening at that exact moment on the other side of the ocean, in a country very far from China.

The British Kingdom.

It was a country with a completely different system from other countries. The monarchy was still advocated and a very peculiar phenomenon was happening—many queens appeared, which also produced many noble princes and princesses in that country.

Two days ago.

The bag designed by Ye Lingchen had just begun making an appearance overseas. In addition to China, all countries were resisting it, and the British Kingdom was no exception.

After all, it was the first genuine luxury good from China. At first instance, it would certainly make everyone feel uncomfortable. Coupled with Ye Lingchen’s strategy to limit production, the number of bags allocated to each foreign country was incredibly small, creating an unfavorable impression in everyone’s mind.

There was a lot of condemnation.

‘China’s capable of producing luxury goods? You think you’re awesome, don’t you? Luxury, is that it? Well, I won’t buy it at all and I’ll see what you can do about it!’

It was just originally just a small episode, but not long after that was a major event that created a national sensation!

Alice, the youngest daughter of the current queen of the British Kingdom, had almost inherited all the queen’s perfect features. She had blond wavy hair, blue eyes, fair and beautiful golden figure, and her status. There was no doubt that she was among goddesses. At only seventeen years old, she was at the age where a girl was at her most beautiful.

In an evaluation of Europe’s beauties, Alice was regarded as the girl who resembled an angel the most. It reached a point where a magazine that published her photos was sold out as soon as it appeared on the market.

“This bag is really amazing. It feels good and the design is just absolutely brilliant.” Alice laid on the bed wearing a light blue skirt with white floral embroidery. Meanwhile, her head was adorned with a pink butterfly hairpin that was filled with pure vitality.

At that moment, her slender legs dangled in the air and she laid face-down on the bed and looked at the black bag in front of her. Her right hand was stroking it admiringly.

“Feels rather cold and very smooth. Strange material isn’t it?” she muttered. “It’s only forty-thousand Chinese yuan. Quite a steal. Feels much more high-end than my other luxury goods.”

It went without saying that she did not lack any luxury goods, being the princess that she was. Irrespective of the brand, she would certainly be given a piece as long as the goods arrive in the British Kingdom. Of course, that bag was no exception.

“Princess, the car is ready.”

“Coming.” Alice jumped out of the bed and carried the bag on her body.

Unlike ancient times, princesses would want to go shopping and occasionally go on special tours.

The convoy moved forward slowly along the streets that had been cleared by the guards earlier. Many people were surrounded by those guards and could only watch from a distance.

“Awfully boring to be shopping like this.” Alice could not help but lament. Although it was described as a walk, it was much more appropriate to describe it as a walk in the backyard.

That was because roads and shopping malls were cleared in advance. Aside from the sellers in the huge mall, there was only one customer—Alice—and even the sellers were bodyguards playing the role of sellers.

Furthermore, Alice did not need to spend any money at all. She could just take whatever she wanted.

Alas, shopping for a princess was meaningless and boring.

Alice frowned slightly and walked around aimlessly. She picked and chose as she pleased along the way and kept herself amused.

Boom!

At that moment, a gunshot resounded throughout the area and stunned Alice.

“Ah! Murder!”

“There are terrorists here! Everyone, run!”

“Good heavens, they’re armed! They’re terrorists, they’re terrorists! They’re here to murder the princess!”

“Ah! This is bloody terrifying. There are terrorists here!”

…

Screams echoed one after another, accompanied by the haphazard footsteps of people rushing for their lives. The originally peaceful world plunged suddenly into chaos.

Boom!

The next moment, the entire mall shook violently and smoke was billowing.

“F*cking hell, there are even bombs here. They must’ve plotted this for a long time. The princess is probably in danger!” The crowd could not help but think of that as they looked at the battered shopping mall.

“Princess, come along with me now!”

The bodyguards immediately surrounded Alice and their expressions were dour. Their quickly scanned the surroundings and were vigilant for any impending danger.

Bang, bang!

A fire suddenly broke out and the sound of gunshots were getting closer!

“Come on! Protect the princess!”

The bodyguards acted as though they were facing a huge threat and the mall instantly became a battlefield.

The terrorists made a mad rush into the mall, and at the same time, the British Kingdom’s bodyguards rushed in as support. The two sides opened fire and there were continuous gunshots. Blood splashed everywhere and people died every second.

“Princess, please come with us!” The bodyguards also became frantic in that moment of danger and were prepared to retreat from the mall.

As the group of people were about to walk out of the mall, one of the bodyguards was shot right in the head!

Blood splattered and the dead remained dead.

“AH!”

Alice was already pale with fright and her brain turned blank. All of a sudden, she was frightened and began screaming. Her face turned pale and her tears could not stop flowing.

“The princess is here, kill her!”

“Everyone, protect the princess! For Queen and country!”
