Seeing the guy's angry, man-eating expression, Dalton smiled and warned, "Don't even think about taking my phone. Captain Lindbergh said I have to post one video a day, and the video must end with me looking safe. If I don't post, they'll come back, and it won't just be a beating then."
"Hmph! You bastard!" Wapol cursed a few times, but it had no effect on Dalton.
He was already a king in name only, so he sat down where he was and obediently lined up to buy a phone.
His phone had also been stolen by that group of people last time. It seemed the one in Dalton's hand was his, but he had no proof.
After all, all phones looked exactly the same, with no distinction.
Furthermore, logging into a TikTok account was done by facial recognition and real-name registration. As long as you snatched someone else's phone and logged in with your own account, it became your phone, and no one could tell the difference.
"I'm going to starve to death sooner or later!" Wapol gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice, but could only helplessly accept reality.
Achoo! Achoo!
Wapol kept sneezing.
There were simply too many people buying phones, and they hadn't sold out yet. He was almost freezing and catching a cold.
Finally, after queuing for two hours, it was his turn to buy a phone.
"Give me a phone," Wapol said respectfully.
Before, he had disdained the newsstand, but now he couldn't. These guys were the darlings of the entire sea; anyone who saw them had to show them respect.
"Okay, three hundred Berries," the employee said coldly.
"What! Not one hundred Berries? What, the price went up!" Wapol clutched the only hundred Berries he had left and roared in despair.
"So, are you buying or not?" The employee's lips curled up mockingly as he looked down at him.
He had been kicked out by the other party before, and now that he had returned strong, he wanted to make him taste the feeling of being looked down upon.
"If you're not buying, get lost. We have business to do," the employee said impolitely.
"...Bastard, I...I'll buy!" Wapol gritted his teeth, and in the end, he reluctantly accepted reality.
Due to being short two hundred Berries, he could only choose to work to pay off the debt, just to buy a phone.
Because this was his capital for rising up; he had already seen the potential of TikTok, and its powerful gift function!
As long as he accumulated a thousand followers, he could start live streaming and sell goods, and most importantly, he could make money!
That day, his hand had trembled, and he clicked the wrong thing; otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen to this state. Getting a refund from the TikTok producers was impossible, so he could only make money himself.
"Hey, sweep it clean. If there's even a speck of dust, keep sweeping!" The employee looked at Wapol. This guy just needed a good lesson, and he showed no mercy. After all, Wapol had driven them away before, and now that they were back, they had to get even!
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll clean it now," Wapol diligently cleaned.
This scene was also filmed by Dalton and sent to the kind people who had helped their country. If it weren't for them, the entire country might still be in dire straits.
So Dalton was very serious about his daily work, constantly watching Wapol. If that guy dared to do anything illegal, he would not hesitate to stop him.
And through these past few days, Dalton had also learned the importance of phones and how to use them.
Every day, he would post some videos on his phone, mainly promoting the beautiful scenery of their country and their area of expertise - medicine!
Their island's strongest suit was medicine.
In the past, there were many excellent doctors here, but due to Wapol's tyrannical rule, the number of doctors here greatly decreased.
However, the situation was much better now.
Wapol had been scared by the people who called themselves the Revolutionary Army and didn't dare to make any more moves, so some of the doctors who had fled before had returned, and coupled with the doctors who had been in hiding, Drum Island was recovering its former prosperity.
"Friends, that's all for the video. Please help by following and gaining followers," Dalton said to the camera with a sincere smile.
"Also, everyone is welcome to check out our shopping cart. We have some remedies for illnesses at very affordable prices. If you need anything, please place an order promptly, and we will arrange for a doctor to ship it quickly."
After filming the video, Dalton felt something was missing.
Then, he added a sentence at the end of the video: "If you are sick and need anything, please contact me in time, and we will arrange a specialized doctor to treat you online."
Dalton looked at the finished video with satisfaction, used his newly learned editing skills to make simple modifications to the video, and then sent it out.
He believed that through the TikTok platform, the medical skills of their Drum Island would be known to more people.
And they would also use this platform to help more people in need, thereby restoring the country to its former prosperity!
"Mr. Dalton."
"Oh?" Dalton looked up and saw the blue-nosed reindeer Chopper walking towards him step by step. "It's Chopper."
"Yes, Mr. Dalton, this is today's medicine. I made it according to Dr. Kureha's instructions," Chopper said cautiously, with a hint of seriousness in his eyes.
Dalton laughed heartily. "That's great, Chopper. It seems you're already a qualified doctor."
Hearing the praise, Chopper was very embarrassed, squirming around, and then steadily put down the box he was carrying.
"Here, take it."
Looking at the box in Dalton's hand, Chopper's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise, "It's a phone! Is this really for me?"
"Of course, Chopper. You don't know, many people online really like you now," Dalton said with a smile.
"Ah? No... No way..." Chopper became even more embarrassed, blushing to the tips of his ears. "Even if you praise me like this, I won't be happy, you bastard~"
"Hahahahaha." Dalton burst into laughter, then stopped teasing Chopper, took out a small wad of money and handed it to him. "This is the money from selling medicine these past two days. Although it's not much, it's better than nothing."
Dalton sighed, feeling a little discouraged, but his eyes were full of confidence. "But we're just starting out. I believe our country will get better and better, and our business will get better and better. When more people see our videos, if they get sick, they will definitely come to us!"
"So..." Dalton patted Chopper's shoulder, "You have to quickly learn medicine well, otherwise when there are more patients in the future, the doctors will definitely be too busy."
"Okay, okay, don't worry, Mr. Dalton. I'll leave now, Dr. Kureha is still waiting for me." Chopper eagerly bit the phone box, nodded again in thanks, and then ran off without looking back.
Looking at the departing Chopper, Dalton smiled, then felt a little worried about how to increase his follower count.
And he was very scared of live streaming. Just thinking about being watched by so many people made him so nervous that he couldn't say a word.
"Sigh, this is a problem..."
He shook his head helplessly, but then cheered up again. He believed that as long as he persisted, he would always find a way.
