The staff of the Star City Anime Festival naturally saw the message first thing. After all, netizens love to join in on the excitement everywhere, and it wasn't just one person suggesting this idea.

As Chu Tian had anticipated, the hottest topic within the anime community was the upcoming grand event of the season: the largest anime festival in the country, the Star City Anime Festival.

And at such a critical moment, a Singer suddenly emerged who was highly talked-about and perfectly matched the anime community's vibe. It was difficult not to associate him with the anime festival. After all, the festival wasn't just for the otaku community; its connections were far too numerous. From major game and anime companies to various factories producing figures and merchandise, down to small street vendors—all these, interspersed with various personnel connected to the anime circle like voice actors, Singers, manga artists, gaming experts, and photographers, had always been an indispensable part of the festival.

Now, with someone floating the idea—whether they were serious or just stirring up the crowd—a swarm of people rushed to the official 'Star City Anime Festival' account. They urged them to quickly invite this great talent and let everyone witness something spectacular.

The Star City Anime Festival staff, after seeing this, naturally followed the digital trail to the video. It must be said, when they first saw the video, their jaws dropped in amazement too.

Is this something a human can do? Did Goddess Nuwa slip up when creating people?

There are countless geniuses in the world, so why am I surrounded by nothing but duds?

Unfortunately, the anime festival had been largely prepared a month ago, and the opening and closing ceremony programs were already set. Last-minute additions were impossible; things were never that simple.

However, the staff still reported this to their superiors. Unsurprisingly, it was rejected. "What 'divine Singer'? What Li Guang? What netizen suggestions? Never heard of them. Netizens just like to join the hype; they'll forget about it soon enough."

And indeed, that was the case. Initially, netizens were just struck by a whim, suggesting it for fun because it seemed interesting. But as time passed, with explosive bullet comments, heated discussions, skyrocketing views, and a relentless stream of new memes, more and more people clicked on the video.

Meanwhile, whether intentionally or not, Mengmeng pinned and highlighted the comment that tagged the Star City Anime Festival.

Now, people clicking in were first hit by the shock of Li Guang's voice, then saw those nonsensical yet incredibly exciting bullet comments. Intrigued, they lingered, eager to see what kind of masterminds were stirring things up in the comment section. And that's when they saw that particular comment.

The Star City Anime Festival organizers, who hadn't taken it seriously and hadn't responded, only fueled the determination of a group of netizens who were either incredibly bored or simply unwilling to give up. They would occasionally go over and post a couple of comments. Seeing more and more netizens sharing their sentiment gave them a great sense of accomplishment.

Later, people who saw this comment also followed the digital trail to the Star City Anime Festival's page. Seeing a flood of comments below, all inviting Li Guang to perform live, their eyes lit up, and they rolled up their sleeves to join in.

And so, through a series of coincidences, the comment section under the Star City Anime Festival's official account exploded.

"What the hell? We're trending?"

The Star City Anime Festival staff were still swamped with preparations for the event, just over a week away. They weren't even done with their current tasks when they heard the festival was trending?

When they saw the trending topic, the relevant personnel fell silent. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing, but this trending topic... it was a bit strange.

Had it trended? Yes, but it was just barely hanging on at the bottom of the list.

Was it relevant? Yes, definitely. It was about the anime festival inviting a Singer.

Was the Singer a big star? Not at all. Just a complete newbie, who apparently only had this one song online, released as a video—not even an official audio track on a music platform.

And yet, for such a Singer, so many netizens were clamoring for the organizers to invite him to perform.

What on earth was going on here?

As those familiar with the situation explained the full story, the group fell silent for a moment.

"So, what do you all think... should we invite him or not?"

If we don't invite him, the netizens' outcry is so loud... but who knows if they're serious or just kidding? If they are serious, well, netizens don't always mean what they say; it's probably just for kicks. But if we dismiss it as a joke, it might get brought up later to cause trouble.

If the opening ceremony goes well, it might not matter. But if it's disappointing, netizens will immediately have something to say: 'We told you to invite so-and-so, and you didn't! Now look at the people you invited—what a load of rubbish! This year's organizers are terrible.'

If that really happened, their chances of securing the rights to host again would be slim.

"Invite him? Why? He's just a new Singer who popped out of nowhere. Who knows whose impulsive idea this was? Maybe the Singer orchestrated it himself. Why bother inviting him?"

"Besides, if he really wanted to participate, wouldn't he go through official channels? It's not like we refuse collaborations. What's he trying to do with this whole charade? Force our hand?"

While some objected, others naturally agreed.

"Hey, that's a bit harsh. I just checked. This Singer is from Xu Qingqiu's studio. You might not know him, but surely you know Xu Qingqiu, right?"
