Just then, a group of villagers passed by the garbage dump and saw Wapol. They were startled at first, but soon they didn't run away. Instead, they immediately took out their phones and started filming.
Their expressions were like seeing a mobile treasure, muttering, "It's going viral, it's going viral!"
"Families, look! There's a humanoid tree here that can even move and talk on its own. It's truly amazing," one villager excitedly said to the camera.
"Brothers, hit that follow button! If we break a hundred followers, I'll go up and get some specimens for you," another villager chimed in, seemingly already envisioning his future as an internet celebrity.
Wapol saw that these villagers weren't afraid of him at all and were even filming him indiscriminately with their phones. A wave of anger surged within him, and he was about to curse at them.
However, just then, a lightning bolt flashed through his mind, and he suddenly realized that his appearance was very peculiar. If they could film him, why couldn't he film himself?
He was very clear about his ability: he could take on the appearance and characteristics of various objects by eating them.
For example, if he ate a large iron barrel, his body could transform into an iron barrel and possess its hardness.
Now that he had eaten a large tree, his body had also become a large tree.
He realized this was a golden opportunity!
Moreover, he discovered that no one on TikTok was filming this yet.
A unique niche!
In other words, he was about to go viral!
"Hahahahaha, Ben Hema! I'm going viral! Hahaha, I'm going viral!" Wapol laughed wildly and unrestrainedly, his laughter echoing through the garbage station, sounding particularly harsh.
The villagers filming nearby saw Wapol's crazed appearance and immediately recoiled, looking at each other, wondering if Wapol had gone mad or if his mind was definitely not normal.
They quickly put away their phones and turned to leave.
They even deleted the videos they had filmed earlier, fearing that these videos might transmit some kind of virus to them.
Wapol merely snorted coldly when he saw the villagers leave, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
He was long accustomed to being misunderstood and ignored, but this didn't affect his plan. Instead, he skillfully picked up his phone, placed it aside, aimed it at himself, and began to film.
"Families, I am Wapol, the Wapol who has turned over a new leaf! Next, I'll show you how to eat a tree in three bites!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wapol opened his super-sized mouth and bit directly into a nearby tree!
The tree was like paper, easily bitten through by Wapol.
Then another bite, and in three bites, a tree was eaten by Wapol.
Afterward, Wapol looked at the camera, chuckled, and showed a mysterious expression: "Now is the moment to witness a miracle!"
His body suddenly began to stretch, his limbs started to become woody, transforming into branches in an instant, and his entire being transformed into a large tree.
"Hahahahaha." At the end of the video, Wapol even came up with a slogan for himself: "I am Wapol, the omnipotent Wapol."
Because he had watched so many videos and summarized a pattern:
That is, many big internet celebrities have their own unique characteristics, and his characteristic is clearly omnipotence—he can eat anything and transform into anything!
After watching it several times and confirming that the video had no issues, Wapol clicked publish.
Since he had no fan base, there was no data change or likes in the backend after he published the video.
But he wasn't anxious, because he knew that TikTok currently had a new creator support program, and his video would soon receive extra traffic pushes.
If the video quality was good, it would continue to be pushed.
So, what he had to do now was wait.
"Give it a like, I'm starving to death," Wapol muttered to himself, a hint of helplessness in his voice.
The cold wind swept in, and he tightened his already dirty and tattered overcoat, huddled in the corner of the garbage dump, holding his phone, and fell asleep.
What he didn't know was that while he was sleeping, TikTok's backend had already started working.
His video was pushed to a small group of users, and these users, upon seeing the video, were all attracted by his unique ability.
Likes, comments, shares—the data slowly began to accumulate.
As time passed, Wapol's video gradually attracted more attention.
The next day, the first thing Wapol did after waking up was to check TikTok.
He rubbed his sleepy eyes, picked up his phone, and opened his account.
Although the number of comments and likes hadn't grown much, they had indeed improved. He wasn't discouraged; instead, he showed a slight sense of satisfaction.
After all, for a new blogger just starting out, achieving this level was already quite good.
Then, he opened the comment section, wanting to see what everyone was saying.
In the comment section, messages poured in like a tide:
"Holy moly, this guy is awesome, a tree in three bites!"
"Is it that bad, bro? Let me send you some sunglasses so you can get something to eat."
"Everyone, don't send him gifts! He's Wapol, the former evil king of Cigu Kingdom!"
"Huh? Isn't that the country where Doctor Chopper is? Now that place has become the medical holy land of the entire sea!"
"This guy is also miserable, but he brought it upon himself. However, he seems to have turned over a new leaf."
"Turn over a new leaf my foot, he's clearly faking it!"
"Let's observe for a while first."
"...."
Looking at these comments, Wapol's heart was filled with mixed emotions; he truly regretted it!
Now, Cigu Kingdom, without his rule, had become the medical holy land of the entire sea—something he had never dared to imagine before.
He realized that his past self was truly despicable. Now, he just wanted to be a good blogger and earn enough for three meals a day.
These comments didn't discourage him; instead, they strengthened his resolve.
Over the next period, he would publish a large number of videos every day, all sorts of peculiar videos of him eating this and that.
Sometimes, he would even fulfill fan requests and interact with his followers, such as eating strange things, transforming into corresponding shapes, or showcasing more possibilities of his abilities.
That's right, he also branded himself as 'fan-loving'!
Whatever fans liked, he would eat!
Whatever fans loved to watch, he would transform into!
Through this method, Wapol found that his follower count was rapidly increasing.
This restored his confidence and gave him hope to continue filming.
His videos became more and more popular, and the comment section became lively, with fans leaving messages of support.
Wapol looked at these messages, his heart filled with gratitude.
"I'll go viral one day! Ben Hema!"
