----------
Just then, a group of villagers passed by the garbage dump. Seeing Wapol's appearance, they were startled at first, but they quickly didn't run away. Instead, they immediately took out their phones and started filming.
Their faces were like seeing a walking treasure, shouting, "It's going to go viral! It's going to go viral!"
"Folks, look! There's a human tree here, and it 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 there and get you some samples!" another villager said, seemingly already seeing his future as a web celebrity.
Wapol saw that these villagers weren't afraid of him at all and were even pointing their phones at him, taking random pictures. A wave of anger surged within him, and he was about to curse at them.
However, at that moment, a flash of lightning crossed his mind. He suddenly realized that his appearance was very strange. They could film, but why couldn't he film himself?
He knew his ability very well: he could gain the appearance and features of various items by eating them.
For example, if he ate a large iron barrel, his body could transform into an iron barrel and have its hardness; now that he had eaten a large tree, his body had also become a large tree.
He realized that this was completely possible!
Moreover, he discovered that no one on TikTok was filming this kind of content yet.
Unique niche!
In other words, he was going to go viral!
"Hahaha, I'm going to go viral! Hahaha, I'm going to go viral!" Wapol laughed wildly without control, his laughter echoing in the garbage station, sounding particularly harsh.
The few villagers who were filming nearby saw Wapol's crazy appearance and immediately pulled back their necks, looking at each other and guessing that Wapol might have gone crazy, his mind definitely not normal.
They quickly put away their phones, turned around, and left.
They even deleted the videos they had filmed earlier, fearing that these videos might contain some kind of infectious virus.
After seeing these villagers leave, Wapol just snorted coldly, a hint of dislike showing in his eyes.
He was already used to being misunderstood and ignored, but this didn't affect his plan. Instead, he skillfully picked up his phone, placed it to the side, aimed it at himself, and started filming.
"Folks, I am Wapol, the reformed Wapol. Next, I will show you eating a tree in three bites!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wapol opened his super-large mouth and bit directly into a tree beside him!
The tree was bitten off easily by Wapol, as if it were made of paper.
Following that was another bite, and in three bites, a tree was eaten by Wapol just like that.
Afterward, Wapol looked at the camera, chuckled, and showed a mysterious look. "Next is the moment to witness a miracle!"
His body suddenly began to stretch, his limbs started to become tree-like, turning into branches in the blink of an eye, and his whole person then transformed into a large tree.
"Mahaha." At the end of the video, Wapol even came up with a slogan for himself. "I am Wapol, the all-powerful Wapol."
Because he had watched so many videos, he had figured out a pattern, which was that many big influencers had their own unique features. And what was his feature? It was obvious: all-powerful, being able to eat anything and turn into anything!
After watching it a few times to make sure the video was okay, Wapol clicked publish.
Since he had no fan base, after publishing the video, there was no data change in the backend, and no likes.
But he wasn't in a hurry, because he knew that TikTok currently had a new user support program, and his video would receive extra traffic pushes soon.
If the video quality was good, it would continue to be pushed.
So, what he needed to do now was wait.
"Give me some likes, I'm starving to death," Wapol said to himself, his voice carrying a hint of helplessness.
A cold wind swept in, he tightened his already dirty greatcoat, huddled in the corner of the garbage dump, and fell asleep holding his phone.
He didn't know that while he was sleeping, TikTok's backend had already started working.
His video was pushed to a small group of users, and after seeing the video, these users were all attracted by his strange ability.
Likes, comments, shares, the data slowly began to pile up.
As time passed, Wapol's video gradually got more attention.
The next day, the first thing Wapol did after waking up was check TikTok.
He rubbed his sleepy eyes, picked up his phone, and opened his account.
When he saw that the number of comments and likes had grown, although not by much, it had indeed improved. He wasn't discouraged, but instead showed a slight sense of satisfaction.
After all, for a beginner blogger just starting out, reaching this level was already quite good.
Then, he clicked on the comment section, wanting to see what everyone was saying.
In the comment section, messages poured in like a flood:
"Damn, this guy is awesome, three bites and a tree!"
"That bad, brother? Let me send you some sunglasses to get something to eat."
"Don't give him gifts, everyone. He's Wapol, the former evil king of Drum Kingdom!"
"Huh? Isn't that Doctor Chopper's country? It's become the medical holy land of the entire sea now!"
"This guy is also pitiful, but he brought it upon himself. But he looks like he's reformed."
"Reformed my foot! He's clearly faking it!"
"Let's watch for a while first."
Looking at these comments, Wapol's heart was filled with mixed feelings. He truly regretted it!
The current Drum Kingdom, without his rule, had become the medical holy land of the entire sea, something he couldn't even have imagined before.
He realized how truly hateful he used to be. 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 made his resolve stronger.
For a while after that, he posted a large number of videos every day, all sorts of strange videos of him eating this and that.
Sometimes, he would even satisfy his fans' requests and interact with them, such as eating strange things and transforming into the matching shapes, or showing more possibilities of his abilities.
That's right, he put the label of 'spoiling fans' on himself again!
Whatever the fans liked, he ate it!
Whatever the fans liked to watch, he transformed into it!
Through this method, Wapol discovered that his fan count was actually increasing rapidly.
This brought back his confidence and gave him hope to continue filming.
His videos became more and more popular, and the comment section became lively. Fans left messages of support one after another.
Wapol looked at these messages, his heart filled with thanks.
"I will go viral eventually!"
