(Don’t look first, I’ll edit this for another hour and a half)

Fang Shichang stood blankly, frozen in place.

The not-so-wide sidewalk, somehow, was now crowded with people, men and women in various clothes, constantly maneuvering around the trees and pedestrians.

These trees, this road, the stores on both sides, indeed he was near his home, this was definitely their Nanjing.

These cars, these people...

Why are there so many people!?

Is this really his hometown Nanjing?

Fang Shichang stood dumbfounded, his mind comparing the usually sparse old street with the current sidewalk crowded to the bursting point, and started to wonder if he had played too many games and was now hallucinating.

He stood in shock for several seconds, until he noticed the strange looks from passing pedestrians, then he awkwardly started to walk forward, trying to act normal.

But as he walked, he couldn’t help but steal glances at the people around him.

What is happening?

What the hell is this?

Fang Shichang felt like he had been suddenly thrown into a game without any beginner guide, desperately needing someone to explain.

He headed instinctively to a small stir-fry restaurant not far from his building, and was once again stunned.

This place, where he usually felt the food was just average and wouldn’t come unless it was close, was now packed with people, even needing a queue!?

Not just a queue, there was something even more outrageous...

Fang Shichang was just about to squeeze in when someone at the entrance grabbed him, "Hey, aren’t you Xiao Fang who lives near the old building? Local residents eat late."

Huh?

Fang Shichang looked dazedly at the person who stopped him, realizing it was an elderly woman with a red armband who looked familiar, probably one of the neighborhood committee members he vaguely remembered with the surname Zhang.

The elderly woman saw his perplexed expression and held him back while pointing to a sign at the restaurant entrance.

Fang Shichang turned his head to look, there was a red notice board at the entrance.

[To All Local Citizens — Advocate Local Residents to Avoid Peak Hours for Dining and Travel]

[Dear local citizens, hello, to cope with the increased demand for dining, travel, and accommodation during the Dragon King Festival due to the influx of tourists, the city government advocates...]

The red notice board seemed afraid that people wouldn’t understand or take it seriously, written in very simple and straightforward language that Fang Shichang grasped at once.

In simple terms, it was asking locals to avoid dining and traveling, leaving resources for tourists...

Huh??

As a local, I’m not allowed to eat!?

Is there no justice anymore!?

Fang Shichang was utterly confused.

The neighborhood committee woman seemed to understand his thoughts, "It’s just an advocacy, you can go in if you want."

Advocacy...

Fang Shichang looked at the hand gripping his arm and then at her cautious expression.

He sighed, "I accept the advocacy, I won’t go in."

Unable to hold back anymore, "Aunt Zhang, what’s going on?"

Seeing he agreed to not go in, Aunt Zhang relaxed, her face showed a approving smile, "We locals are the hosts, we need to make some concessions for tourists. They’re here spending money, contributing to our local economy. We can’t let them go hungry, can we?"

Aunt Zhang feared he might object, so she continued explaining, "Actually, we have no choice. There are too many people. Without managing resources like this, it’s not enough. We locals can still manage at home, but tourists can’t go hungry, right?"

"Aunt Zhang, I’ll go home and eat instant noodles, I have no objection."

Fang Shichang interrupted, "The question is, why are there suddenly so many tourists in Nanjing?"

Aunt Zhang straightened up proudly, "It’s all thanks to our local big star Wu Mu’s promotion. How come you as a young person know less than me? Haven’t you heard of our famous Wu Mu from here?"

Wu Mu?

Wu Dog?

Fang Shichang’s mind raced, he was very familiar with this name, as gamers generally knew Wu Mu better.

Indeed, he had heard people say Wu Mu was from Nanjing.

But now he doubted if the Wu Mu he knew was the same as Aunt Zhang’s Wu Mu.

Is Wu Dog that influential?

Does Wu Dog have such an impact?

Online buzz and popularity might be exaggerated, but the reality of the crowded street was undeniable.

Aunt Zhang saw his dumbfounded expression and thought he truly didn’t know, so she enthusiastically continued:

"Our Wu Mu from Nanjing is currently the most famous superstar online. Handsome, absolutely stunning. He has many great works, countless good movies and songs. You’ve heard ’The Brightest Star in the Night Sky’, right? It’s played daily in the primary school nearby. And he’s a person of good character, gives back to his hometown, and is highly praised everywhere. His popularity is top-notch, although he’s only in his twenties, he’s already the most famous star domestically, even an international superstar."

Huh?

Huh?

You say he’s handsome and sings well, fair enough.

You say his movies are good and he’s of good character, that’s debatable.

And...

"Aunt Zhang, he can’t be considered the most famous superstar. We have many more famous people in our country. Not mentioning the older generation like King Liang, Dragon King, Stars, there’s still Mo Mo from the younger generation, Zhao Xue from the previous one, Li Cheng, and others. He can’t compare with them. Besides, he’s not an international superstar, he just has some fans in South Korea."
