After Mu Li posted on Weibo, he quickly received reposts from Fu Peiyao and the other two.
Fu Peiyao: Everyone, come with us to watch newcomer singer Mu Li's variety show debut, "Wu Ha"!
Mu Qingqing: Promoting my master's variety show debut, "Wu Ha."
Wang Yijia: Check out my bro Mu Li's variety show debut, "Wu Ha."
In addition to the reposts from Fu Peiyao and the other two, the official "Wu Ha" account, as well as regular and guest participants like Deng Fei, members of "Wonderful Life" production team, and even National Team members like Wang Xin, Wu Bing, and Ren Wei, all tagged Mu Li.
Although Mu Li had been on trending topics several times before, it was mostly due to rare Pokémon and livestreams, so there was actually very little official video footage of him online.
Netizens might have heard Mu Li's songs, watched Togekiss's livestreams, or even seen snippets of Fu Peiyao and Mu Li, but few could connect the real Mu Li with these online clips.
The main reason was that Mu Li had not officially debuted, so there were no directly searchable video records of him online.
So when everyone helped Mu Li repost, many netizens, especially fans of these celebrities, were curious: Who exactly is Mu Li?
Didn't they say he was a new singer? How could a newcomer get so many people to promote him?
However, Mu Li and the other three had no time to worry about this, because "Wu Ha" had already started playing.
The screen began with a scene of Deng Fei, Chichi, and Fan Yizhi gathered in a restaurant.
"No, is 'Wu Ha's' recording so casual now? Are they even filming the guest invitations as material for the main episode?" Mu Qingqing couldn't help but complain.
Mu Li's mouth twitched: "No choice, didn't something happen this season?"
Watching the first few minutes drag on, even Fu Peiyao couldn't help but complain: "Do they really have no material to use?"
Just then, on screen, Chichi's phone rang.
Mu Li couldn't help but get excited: "Look, that's me."
But when the call was answered, only Mu Li's voice appeared; he wasn't even seen.
"This is your debut? Bro?" Wang Yijia couldn't help but laugh.
Mu Li replied testily: "I was still in Yangcheng then; I only came the next day."
Mu Qingqing helplessly said: "So when will you appear? Don't tell me you're waiting until the end of the first day to show up?"
Mu Li also said helplessly: "I don't know either. Before I came, I didn't know what they were doing, but don't worry, Director Wang told me I would definitely appear in the first episode."
Mu Qingqing's mouth twitched: "You'd better."
Fortunately, the production team didn't linger too long in the restaurant and directly moved to the second day of filming.
Deng Fei, Chichi, and Fan Yizhi took a bus and started picking up guests.
However, Mu Li didn't expect that just this guest pickup segment would take these few people ten minutes to talk about.
"Wow, I found that the members of your show are all so talkative!" Mu Qingqing exclaimed, "It's really hard on you guys, just picking up one person can take so long."
Mu Li's mouth twitched, and he sighed: "No choice, haven't you seen the 'Wu Ha' editing complaints before? When this group of people gets together, they talk non-stop, and they even often randomly strike up a conversation with a passerby on the road and chat for a long time."
"Older people are like that, talkative." Wang Yijia expressed strong agreement, "My grandpa is like that."
Mu Li looked at Wang Yijia helplessly: "Brother, are you not planning to see Fei Ge and the others in the future? How dare you say such a thing."
Wang Yijia froze, then pretended as if nothing had happened.
"This is the characteristic of 'Wu Ha,' it's very interesting." Wang Yijia nodded and replied, "I really like this way of interacting."
Mu Li rolled his eyes testily: "It's a shame it wasn't recorded for you."
But thankfully, after the guests gathered, everyone went directly to the place where they would compete against Mamoswine.
"Aww!!! Now I'm really going to appear!" Mu Li shouted excitedly, waking up the Pokémon that were almost asleep.
Indeed, the scene changed, and a man was seen descending from the sky on Togekiss, landing in front of Chichi.
"Wow! Your entrance is amazing!" Mu Qingqing's eyes widened, "Did you secretly give money to the production team?"
Mu Li couldn't help but smile: "It's mainly because I'm handsome."
"But why do I feel like everyone is looking at your Togekiss?" Wang Yijia revealed the truth.
Togekiss, seeing himself on TV, immediately bounced around the room excitedly: "Jigglypuff!!"
Ninetales, who had been lying motionless on the ground, rolled her eyes and, not knowing what she thought of, stared intently at Mu Li, seemingly plotting something.
Seeing Togekiss appear, the other Pokémon also applauded enthusiastically, except for a certain Ninetales who was brewing something.
Before everyone could stop clapping, Jigglypuff bounced up again: "Poli Poli! (I'm going to appear too!)"
To Protect his hair, Mu Li had no choice but to grab Jigglypuff and hold her in his arms: "Don't get excited, you haven't appeared yet."
The next moment, the scene shifted, and the production team had already proposed that absurd rule.
"Your production team really isn't human!" Mu Qingqing exclaimed, "You actually made them race Mamoswine on ice? Who are you trying to make things difficult for?"
It wasn't just Mu Qingqing complaining; at this point, viewers watching also started sending bullet comments.
Is 'Wu Ha' out of ideas? Making people race Pokémon, they really came up with that.
This excuse is too ridiculous. They say there aren't enough Ice-type Pokémon to create an ice surface? Shouldn't the production team prepare for this in advance?
Following the fish-catching of the previous two seasons, another absurd sport.
I really don't understand the point of doing these things. Just to exhaust the guests to death?
...
"You didn't actually run, did you?" There was a hint of worry in Fu Peiyao's tone.
"You'll know if you keep watching," Mu Li said.
In the camera, Mu Li asked: "Director, if I make up the remaining 300 meters of ice track, can we proceed as planned?"
Then, Wang Xiang was seen nodding blankly.
The next moment, a loud bang echoed in the sky, Jigglypuff made a dazzling appearance, and an Ice Punch directly slammed into the ground.
The area visible to the naked eye in front of everyone was almost completely covered with ice.
After Mu Li calmly recalled Jigglypuff, he asked Wang Xiang: "Director, is this okay?"
Upon seeing this scene, the trio of Fu Peiyao, Mu Qingqing, and Wang Yijia almost simultaneously widened their eyes, looking at Jigglypuff in disbelief.
"This... is this real?" Mu Qingqing couldn't help but ask.
"Of course! Ice Punch, haven't you seen it?" Mu Li retorted.
"No, bro, isn't your Ice Punch a bit unscientific?" Wang Yijia couldn't help but ask.
"Huh? What's unscientific?" Mu Li chose to play dumb.
Seeing Mu Li's expression, Fu Peiyao's delicate brows furrowed. Based on her understanding of Mu Li, whenever he was hiding something, he would show this expression.
Fu Peiyao and the other two were not foolish; from the moment they entered Mu Li's house, they had felt something was off.
"Tell me honestly, what is Jigglypuff's strength?" Fu Peiyao analyzed, "Even if my Milotic used Ice Beam with all her might, she could only freeze a dozen meters of water. Jigglypuff's single Ice Punch can freeze hundreds of meters of ground. You'd better explain it to me properly."
"That's right!" Wang Yijia echoed, "And Ninetales, I felt something was off the moment I entered. That pressure directly scared us so much we couldn't move. That's not something an ordinary Pokémon can do."
Mu Li feigned calmness and tentatively said: "Is it possible that the production team used special effects?"
At this moment, not only did Fu Peiyao and the other two have such doubts, but the viewers watching "Wu Ha" were also full of questions.
A flood of question mark bullet comments instantly filled the screen.
Is the production team treating us like fools?
This is too fake. Freezing hundreds of meters with one punch, this Jigglypuff must be a Legendary Pokémon, right?
Not necessarily a Legendary Pokémon. I've seen some powerful Ice-type Pokémon in Pokémon battles that can instantly freeze hundreds of meters.
Can someone explain if this Jigglypuff is scientific?
Does this even need an explanation? It's obviously fake.
Is 'Wu Ha' crazy for promoting a newcomer?
...
Soon, a trending topic appeared on Weibo: "Wu Ha" production team fakes for the sake of promoting a newcomer.
At the same time, at the National Team South Island training base, Ling Fei and Zhu Yuping were huddled in front of the TV watching "Wu Ha."
Upon seeing this scene, Ling Fei directly spat out the water in his mouth.
The two couldn't help but look at each other, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
"This kid, A Li... does he have to be so outrageous?" Ling Fei felt his worldview was impacted, "To be able to do something like that, that Jigglypuff must at least be Champion-level."
Zhu Yuping also couldn't believe it: "Is that really a Jigglypuff? A Champion-level Jigglypuff?"
"Has that guy reached this level already?" Ling Fei's words were full of doubt, "And that Togekiss that appeared just now."
Zhu Yuping couldn't help but smile bitterly: "What has this kid been doing these past few years?"
Ling Fei, however, smiled: "We'll know when we ask him."
Zhu Yuping also nodded: "Indeed."
At the same time, at the Imperial Capital National Team training camp.
Wang Xin, Liu Junyi, and two other National Team teammates were also watching this episode of "Wu Ha."
These two National Team teammates were named Yin Ziqu and Zhang Fengyu, newcomers who joined in the past two years, Elite-level trainers in their early stages.
The four also saw this scene and instantly went into a dazed state.
"No way? Xin Ge, is 'Wu Ha' doing things like this now? This fake is too outrageous." Zhang Fengyu couldn't help but complain.
Yin Ziqu directly laughed out loud: "Don't their production team know the concept of this punch? Freezing hundreds of meters with one punch, it's a wonder they even thought of it."
However, Liu Junyi frowned deeply and said in a low voice: "Why do I feel like this person looks so familiar?"
Zhang Fengyu continued to complain: "Xin Ge, you participated in the show's recording, didn't they tell you about this 'genius' idea?"
The three subconsciously looked at Wang Xin, but they didn't see the expression they expected on Wang Xin's face; instead, they saw Wang Xin reveal a bitter smile.
"Have you ever thought that this might not be fake?"
