351: Leijun Cult

After the news spread abroad, it immediately caused an even greater sensation. Countries like the Instant Noodle Country, Japan, and the United States saw the emergence of religions worshipping Lei Jun, spreading rapidly like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

Among them, the reaction from the Instant Noodle Country was the most frenzied.

In just three days, hundreds of sects worshipping Lei Jun appeared in the Instant Noodle Country, each with its own doctrines and rituals!

Some sects were named "The Lei Jun Cult," some "Raphael's Sanctuary," and others "The Altar of Hermes," with a wide variety of names. The people of the Instant Noodle Country joined these sects in a frenzy.

Whether they were the elderly, children, or young people, they all became followers of Lei Jun.

According to statistics, in just one week, the number of people in the Instant Noodle Country who believed in Lei Jun surpassed several million!

Statues and temples of Lei Jun were built in major cities, where followers would go daily to worship and donate money and supplies, creating an incredibly bustling scene.

After Lei Jun learned of this, she immediately issued a statement, clarifying that she was not God's illegitimate daughter, nor was she a god, but just an ordinary person, and hoped everyone would not believe in these superstitious claims.

However, absolutely no one believed her.

Under the incitement of people with ulterior motives in the Instant Noodle Country, Lei Jun's statement was interpreted as "God screening unfaithful followers," suggesting that only the truly devout could feel God's presence, and that God's humility was a test for the believers.

Once this interpretation was released, even more people joined the sects.

Many people, fearing they weren't devout enough to receive God's protection, frantically donated money and goods; some even sold their family property and donated everything to the sects just to express their devotion.

Looking at the news online, Lei Jun felt completely helpless. She never expected that simply participating in a marathon would cause such a massive stir.

These sects were clearly cults, but the people in the Instant Noodle Country wouldn't listen to her at all, and she was powerless to stop them.

Fortunately, Dragon Country had controlled the domestic situation in time, preventing this trend from spreading.

She hoped those people in the Instant Noodle Country would wake up in time... Returning home, Lei Jun lay down on the sofa, picked up Pet Name who had approached her, and casually opened her tablet to watch some short dramas.

She chose a lighthearted and funny sweet romance drama with a simple plot, perfect for passing the time.

Pet Name curled up in her arms, obediently licking its paws; the warm touch made the irritability in Lei Jun's heart completely dissipate.

While watching the drama, she mindlessly stroked the cat, thinking that once this matter passed, she would find a place to go on a trip and avoid these messy troubles.

After finishing an episode, Lei Jun casually opened the system panel to see if there were any new prompts.

Upon opening it, a new mission popped up, catching her off guard.

[godly tycoon mission: Please use AI to create a video of five kittens dancing, then post it on TikTok. Mission Reward: 2000 godly tycoon coins.]

Lei Jun stared at the mission for a long time, her heart full of confusion.

What was wrong with this system?

This time it actually wanted her to make an AI video, and such childish content as five kittens dancing?

2000 godly tycoon coins wasn't a lot, but she wouldn't turn it down for nothing.

Since she was free anyway, she might as well do it to pass the time.

Having made up her mind, Lei Jun set Pet Name down and opened her computer to start researching how to use AI to make videos.

She had never touched this kind of tool before, and after opening the software, she was dazzled by all the unfamiliar function buttons.

Following her intuition, she first selected models for five kittens, then found a dance template. After fumbling around for a while, she managed to generate a video.

Upon opening the video, Lei Jun immediately frowned, a spark of anger rising in her heart.

This video was total garbage!

The five kittens' movements were as stiff as puppets, their joints twisted strangely, their dance steps completely uncoordinated, the background music didn't match the movements, and even two of the kitten models overlapped, making the screen a cluttered mess.

"What a piece of junk," Lei Jun muttered. She tried adjusting parameters and changing dance templates, modifying it several times, but the resulting video was still unsatisfactory.

Either the kittens danced like robots, or the movements were laggy; she just couldn't achieve a satisfactory result. Growing increasingly frustrated, she simply shut down the computer and took a deep breath to calm her emotions.

Pet Name seemed to sense her displeasure and slowly walked over, rubbing against her ankle.

Lei Jun bent down to pick it up and sat on the sofa stroking the cat for a while until the anger in her heart gradually subsided.

Forget it, she wasn't in the right state today and hadn't figured out the trick yet. She didn't plan to mess with it anymore and would continue researching tomorrow.

Holding Pet Name, she got up and went back to her room to rest... The next morning, Su Qing knocked on Lei Jun's door right on time.

"Miss Lei Jun, it's time to get up for breakfast."

Lei Jun responded and quickly got ready.

When she reached the dining table, breakfast was already laid out.

Sandwiches, fried eggs, milk, and a small plate of fresh fruit.

After finishing breakfast, Lei Jun returned to the study and opened her computer again to research AI video production.

Her body had been strengthened by the system multiple times, so her reaction time and thinking ability far surpassed ordinary people. The tricks she couldn't figure out all night yesterday became much faster to grasp today.

She first found a detailed tutorial and followed it step by step, repeatedly pondering over parts she didn't understand and adjusting her operations based on her own understanding.

The abilities enhanced by the system helped her master skills faster. As long as she focused, she would surely be able to learn it.

She studied intently, carefully considering every step from model adjustment and movement editing to background music pairing and image rendering, constantly trying to optimize.

Before she knew it, the whole morning had passed. Before lunch, she finally mastered the AI video production techniques and made a kitten dancing video she was fairly satisfied with.

In the video, the five kittens moved smoothly and in coordination, their dance steps cheerful and cute, and the background music fit the movements perfectly.

Lei Jun nodded with satisfaction.

Just then, after she finished posting the video, Su Qing's voice came: "Miss Lei Jun, lunch is ready. You can come down to eat."

Lei Jun turned off the computer, and as soon as she walked into the dining room, she was drawn by a rich aroma.

The dining table was filled with dishes, their bright colors and enticing aroma instantly piquing her appetite.

Su Qing, Su Ya, Lei Ying, and Lei Yue were already sitting at the table waiting for her.

Lei Jun walked to the table and sat down, her gaze falling on the dishes.

Su Qing had made entirely Sichuan cuisine, each dish perfect in color, aroma, and taste.

In the center was a large plate of Mapo Tofu, the tofu tender and smooth, sprinkled with a layer of Sichuan peppercorns and green onions; the bright red sauce steamed with a numbing fragrance. Beside it was a plate of Twice-Cooked Pork, the marbled pork belly stir-fried to a glossy finish with green peppers and garlic sprouts, boasting a rich aroma... There was also Fish-Flavored Shredded Pork, golden in color with a sweet and sour scent that made one's mouth water. Additionally, there was a plate of Spicy Chicken and a portion of Stir-fried Lettuce with Garlic—a balanced mix of meat and vegetables, exquisitely presented.
