OPERATION: GET A MILLION FANS! (4)

Guinaifen: Alright! We're all here!
Then let's quickly go over the context for this squad's formation!
Guinaifen: The Creation Furnance [sic] did a break and now spooky heliobi are scattered all over the Xianzhou, causing a ruckus.
Guinaifen: And we, per the request of the Ten-Lords Commission, are here to solve the problem!

Topic 1: What is a heliobus?

Trailblazer: I see... Wait, what's a heliobus?

Huohuo: L—let me explain...
Huohuo: Heliobi are a rare species among the Abominations of Abundance, belonging to the order of Shapeless. They don't have a fixed form and are energy lifeforms with aprasitic habits, capable of possessing and manipulating other's bodies and affecting changes in their victims through simulating their nervous systems and emotions.
Huohuo: The possessed hosts might find themselves completely compelled to perform extremely stimulating acts, such as binge eating, indulging in hedonistic behaviors, harming and maiming others, or destroying things, to please the heliobi dwelling within them.
Huohuo: The heliobi are very dangerous... To avoid causing even greater chaos, we have to... handle them.
As quickly and quietly as possible...
Mainly we... don't want to cause public hysteria. If the heliobi drain away these emotions as well, they'll be even harder to handle...

Topic 2: Stealthy Ghost-Hunting?

Trailblazer: Then, how do we this without making it a big deal?

Guinaifen: Right! That's exactly the point. The largest paranormal-activity-focused website on the Xianzhou is called the Ghostly Grove.
Guinaifen: The site used to be purely for paranormal hobbyists. Nowadays, the Xianzhou inhabitants will also post gossip and rumors there, and if they actually run into something weird, they'll send help request posts to seek aid.
Guinaifen: So, we're gonna take these help requests and solve their unnatural issues.
I already made an account called @LilGuiGuinevere.
Sushang: Isn't this just your personal account!
Guinaifen: Don't mind the minutiae! After we're done with these incidents, we'll embellish our experiences with a bit more artistic flair and publish them on the Ghostly Grove to gather some popularity!

The greater our popularity, the more people with abnormal issues wll come to use [sic] seeking solutions, allowing us to resolve the chaos caused by the heliobi with greater efficiency!

Topic 3: Exorcismic Gourds? Suppression Towers?

Guinaifen: Oh, right, we haven't talked about how to deal with the heliobi!
This calls for Huohuo's expertise. She's a pro at this!

Huohuo: Heliobi don't have physical bodies, but they can be suppressed by the "exorcismics" unleashed from the "Lunaumbra Gourd," allowing them be drawn into the gourd afterward.
Huohuo: A—after that, we'll need to go to the suppression towers in Fyxestroll Garden and seal the heliobi within them. Only then are things over...

After sealing a certain amount of heliobi, we can get new exorcismics... that we c—can swap out and adapt to changing circumstances...
Huohuo: There are 5 suppression towers across Fyxestroll Garden. The heliobi they hold are very dangerous so... be careful!

Trailblazer:

Topic 4: Gratuity + Fans!

Guinaifen: let's move away from the scary parts for now! Next, I gotta introduce to everyone something very important, and that's "Gratuity Points"!
As long as our posts are of a high enough quality on Ghostly Grove, the platform and its users will shower us with gratuity points!
Guinaifen: Earned gratuity points can be xchanged for rewards in the "Subscription Plan" page. The higher your points, the higher your "Subscription Level," the greater the rewards.
Guinaifen: Aside from solving problems and submitting high quality posts, challenging suppression towers can also get you tips~
Additionally, some passionate fans might @ us and if we take the care to respond to them, we might get a little something out of that as well!
For example. Ahem. @Sushang! Hit me with that delicious dono!

Sushang: What? Why does the person being @'d have to tip!

Guinaifen: Heh. Just messing with you. Alright, enough gibbering, let's go!
Huohuo: Ah! Wait... Guinaifen! The heliobi and the suppression towers are very dangerous. L—let me arrange the r—relevant information first...
Guinaifen: Alright, then. Well, look forward to our Second Mega-Strat Brainstorming Sesh of the Ghost-Hunting Squad. See ya next time, fam!

Sushang: Little Gui is banned from changing the group's name!
