116 Sudden Surge of a Million Followers: Su Yunjin Visits the Shooting Range! (Please Support)

The one-and-a-half-hour program had almost become Su Yunjin’s personal showcase.

Although Guan Tongyue, Zhang Chuchu, Zhang Xiaoxiao, and Zheng E also had plenty of screen time, compared to Su Yunjin, they seemed insignificant, like mere shadows.

Even as the nation’s darling, in the face of such overwhelming advantage, many people found themselves looking at Su Yunjin with newfound respect.

At 9:30 p.m., the second episode of "Blood and Steel" concluded.

By then, netizens could hardly contain their admiration for Su Yunjin; they rushed to search for her official Weibo account under a flurry of excitement and quickly followed her.

By ten o’clock, Su Yunjin’s personal Weibo followers had already reached 3.8 million, on the verge of breaking through the 4 million mark.

Gaining over a million followers in half an hour might not be unusual on ordinary days, but for Su Yunjin, it sparked intense envy within the industry.

Especially among her peers—the young male and female idols of her level—they were itching with jealousy.

They knew that whenever they gained followers rapidly, it was either due to management strategies or paid trending topics.

Sometimes, it involved pairing up in "couples" to attract attention, enduring waves of backlash before gradually redeeming their image.

That process usually took at least six months. Unlike Su Yunjin, who had won this battle spectacularly with just two variety shows.

“Damn it.”

“Who exactly is backing Su Yunjin?”

“I just can’t believe she gained over a million followers in such a short hour and a half.”

“It’s infuriating! Why don’t I have access to such resources?”

Unlike netizens’ admiration, the young idols around her could only resent their own lack of opportunities.

But they overlooked one crucial fact: Su Yunjin’s resources didn’t materialize out of thin air; she fought tooth and nail to earn them.

Even this visit to the military camp to film "Blood and Steel" had many female celebrities hesitant to take part—only Su Yunjin had signed up on her own accord.

Despite all the envy and jealousy, they could only watch helplessly as Su Yunjin’s trending topics soared higher and higher.

By the next morning, Su Yunjin’s Weibo followers had skyrocketed to 6.66 million!!

Even in the entertainment world, she ranked among the most popular rising stars.

Frankly speaking, with her current popularity, Su Yunjin was already a top-tier young actress in the entire industry.

Her rapid rise made many investors desperate to get in touch with her, hoping their next collaboration would be with her.

Meanwhile, inside the military camp, Su Yunjin was completely unaware of the wildfire she had ignited online.

The broadcast time of "Blood and Steel" coincided exactly with the group’s rest period.

“Yunjin, let’s go to the shooting range together.”

Though the break lasted only one day, Guan Tongyue was eager to witness Su Yunjin’s legendary marksmanship.

So, as soon as they had a moment, she suggested it.

“Sure, Yunjin, we’re free anyway. Let’s go have some fun,” Zheng E chimed in, his eyes practically spelling out curiosity.

Zhang Chuchu and Zhang Xiaoxiao sat nearby.

Zhang Xiaoxiao glanced at Zhang Chuchu and smirked, “Look at her, acting so capable.”

However, Zhang Xiaoxiao’s teasing had little effect on Zhang Chuchu.

Zhang Chuchu smiled and stepped forward, “I know of a nearby archery range. We can go there.

Besides, I’ve never seen Yunjin’s legendary marksmanship in person.”

Her words caught Guan Tongyue off guard.

Since the fallout between Su Yunjin and Zhang Chuchu on the “Center Position Girl Group,” this was the first time they spoke.

For the past week, even during training, Zhang Chuchu had been visibly unwilling.

Now, she was approaching Su Yunjin proactively?

This was unprecedented!

Zhang Xiaoxiao was utterly stunned, her eyes as wide as saucers.

“What’s going on?”

Suppressing his surprise, Zheng E quietly asked Guan Tongyue nearby.

Without cameras around, their interactions felt much more genuine.

Like onlookers savoring the drama, Zheng E and Guan Tongyue quietly moved a little away from the group.

“How would I know? Why is Zhang Chuchu talking to Su Yunjin?”

Guan Tongyue shook her head, eyes fixed intently on Su Yunjin and Zhang Chuchu.

But more than curiosity, she was puzzled by Zhang Chuchu’s sudden change.

Everyone’s gaze was glued to Su Yunjin.

Despite all eyes on her, Su Yunjin remained calm and looked at Zhang Chuchu. “Alright, if there’s time, we can go have some fun.”

“I’ll arrange the place and get a car to pick us up.”

Without wasting words, Zhang Chuchu immediately dialed a number. Soon, the venue was booked.

Within minutes, a car arrived to pick up Su Yunjin and the others.

They all rode together in a van to an archery range a few kilometers outside the military camp.

Since it was the closest such facility, the range was small, divided into only five sections.

Furthermore, these sections weren’t for firearms but exclusively for cold weapons—bows and arrows.

They reserved a VIP area and each rented a bow.

“Does anyone mind if I start a live stream?” Zhang Chuchu suddenly asked while everyone was happily holding their bows.

Guan Tongyue frowned. “Why live stream?”

Zheng E added, “Yeah, it’s not like we’re working. Why perform for the camera?”

They were all celebrities and had no private space during work. Now, even during playtime, they had to deal with this? It was uncomfortable for anyone.

“Oh, come on. It’s just one live stream. Why be afraid? Everyone’s just playing their own game. I’m only recording how many rings you all can hit.”

Zhang Chuchu put on an innocent look and coquettishly pouted at Zheng E.

Normally, Zheng E wasn’t particularly interested in Zhang Chuchu, but as a man, it was hard to resist a beautiful woman’s flirtation.

Besides, Zhang Chuchu’s good looks, especially her large, watery eyes, made her appear pitiful and endearing.

Looking at her so tearfully, Zheng E felt embarrassed to refuse.

Though Guan Tongyue wanted to say no, seeing Zhang Chuchu’s request, she relented, “Alright, but I don’t want to be on camera.”

“No problem. I just want to see what scores you all get.”

After speaking, Zhang Chuchu looked at Su Yunjin. “Teacher Su, you’re fine with this, right?”

“Mm, I’m good,” Su Yunjin replied, flashing an “OK” hand gesture.

By now, she had figured out why Zhang Chuchu was suddenly so friendly and well-mannered—it was most likely a trap.

Zhang Chuchu had come over to find fault, hoping the live stream audience would catch her in an embarrassing moment.

In other words, from beginning to end, this woman was up to no good!
