Ch18 - You’re so powerful~

After seeing Shen Qi’s reply, Fu Mingyuan’s expression cracked for a moment. 

But it was just for a moment.

When he saw the photo of Shen Qi and LAND end up on the Hot Search list, he, who had always been calm and restrained, now also experienced a time when he couldn’t control his own emotions. 

He was angry that someone had posted this photo online without asking for permission.

It had attracted so much abuse from antis.

And there was also the photo that Shen Qi had added to his Moments, where one of LAND’s hands had also appeared in the camera with the barbeque.

…… 

Shen Qi didn’t get a reply from the other party, instead getting a voice-call from him.

He only hesitated for a second before answering. 

He heard the sound of a computer shutting down.

Shen Qi looked at the time, and saw it was already past nine at night. 

“You’re still working?” Because he had drunk alcohol, Shen Qi’s voice was a little nasal and hoarse.

It sounded a bit more lazy than usual. 

Fu Mingyuan let out an “en” and then asked, “You drank?”

Shen Qi took a utility knife to open the express mail package. He hadn’t bought anything recently, and only Lu Tun and Ye Lai knew his current address. 

The recipient name on the package wasn’t “Shen Qi,” and instead “Cyber Sweetie” had been written there.

“I drank a little bit.” His voice was a little light, so the sound of something being unpacked was more obvious. 

“Gege,” he suddenly said. He licked the corner of his lip, and then hummed and laughed. “Do you miss me?

“Otherwise, why would you call me?” he teased while unpacking several layers of packaging. 

It was probably because he had drunk alcohol, but Fu Mingyuan thought he sounded a bit coquettish after hearing him talk.

He was silent for a while before he said, “No. 

“I’m hanging up first.”

Although he said that, he didn’t actually hang up. 

Shen Qi let out an “ah” and said, “No ah Gege, let’s chat for at least two yuan worth?

“I’ll chat with you, and it’ll make up for your 20,000 yuan gift?” 

He put the utility knife under his armpit and went to remove the bubble wrap. “Calculating it out, if we chat for two yuan a day, we can talk for 10,000 days.

“If it’s like that, then won’t you have come out on top ah, Gege?” 

His voice rang out, accompanied by the sound of the utility knife falling down.

Shen Qi clicked his tongue. 

He frowned at the contents of the package.

“What’s the matter?” Fu Mingyuan paused in the middle of tidying up his documents. 

“Nothing, I just bumped into something by accident.” He stepped on the utility knife on the ground. “I’ll hang up first~ Gege, go to bed early.”

Fu Mingyuan frowned as he let out an affirmative noise. 

Just as he hung up, Fu Mingli knocked on the door.

…… 

Shen Qi went to find a pair of unopened gloves and threw the express box into the garbage can outside the door with a dark expression on his face.

Although he hadn’t received much of a fright, his stomach was still rolling. 

This wasn’t the first time he had received this kind of thing. In the past, when he was at M1G, some radical fans of hostile teams would send some threatening things to the base.

However, this was the first time something like this had been sent to him at his house. 

It was only after everything in his stomach was emptied out that Shen Qi sent a message to “Gege.”

Your Qi Ge: TVT Gege~

Fans and anti-fans were still tearing into each other, and two water armies were also caught in the middle. 

[Angry is trash who plays fixed games!!! Only blind people would like him!]

[Idiot, you try to play and get first place in the Korean competition. If you can do it, I’ll call you daddy. If you can’t do it, then grandson, shut up for your grandfather. You’re always flapping your gums about how other people played fixed matches] 

[Trash trash trash!]

[Is God A coming back! Which team is God A going to!] 

[With Angry’s bad temper, what team dares to have him?]

[Hehe, that guy has good skills ah, and if you have to say something else, there’s still that face] 

……

Shen Qi scrolled through. As soon as bad comments came out, it was as if someone was controlling the water army to immediately suppress them. 

The two forces were doing their best to seriously fight in the dark.

Besides the earliest Weibo that initiated the attack, other new Weibos were either blocked or deleted as soon as they posted anything. 

After a sip of coke, Shen Qi raised his eyebrows.

As long as no one involved his little apprentice, it was fine. 

He took a look at the sockpuppet account that he had logged in to, clicked on an anti’s comment, and began typing and clacking away a reply: ——[Dude, I think your unique body must have four hands, otherwise how can you type such a shocking sentence!]

——[You’re right, to look at a godly professional player like God A, you need to be blind. That way you can’t see his beauty, but only his perfect inner self] 

——[It looks like his temper isn’t that bad, or else how can you still be sitting here typing and venting?]

——[Dude, how many times have you been to the Korean competition? Did you rank? Did you surpass Old Beauty? If you have this much time to run your mouth, how come you’re not training with guns? I think you really want to go in person to play in a competition, so let me help you make your debut] 

He typed so fast that he could reply to two comments in half a minute.

Lu Tun, who was angrily scrolling through and was in a flame war with others: …. 

This familiar sockpuppet account, besides Idol, who else could it be!

Lu Tun: [screenshot] [screenshot] 

Lu Tun: Idol, is this your sockpuppet account

Lu Tun: A battle of words! Idol, charge! 

Shen Qi’s thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a WeChat prompt, and he switched over to have a look.

Your Qi Ge: It’s alright, a normal operation 

Lu Tun: Idol, do you need me to get some sentences from Baidu for you to use

Your Qi Ge: ? 

Your Qi Ge: Do you still have the IP addresses of the antis in the livestream you sent me last time?

Lu Tun was doubtful: Yes ah, but there haven’t been any antis in the livestream recently ma 

Your Qi Ge: I want to ask them to help me be an anti-anti group, is that okay ya~

Lu Tun: …..Idol, wait a bit! 

After a few minutes:

Lu Tun handed in the contact information of the last group of antis. 

Shen Qi yawned and felt around the bedside table.

He didn’t have any candy, so he couldn’t suppress the bitter taste in his mouth. 

He returned to Weibo to continue, but as soon as he refreshed, the Weibo post had already been deleted.

Shen Qi: …..??? 

He still had a bellyful of words to say, why was it deleted?

Fu Mingyuan helped Fu Mingli sign everything, and Fu Mingli, with an expression of wanting to speak but then changing his mind, looked left and right. 

Fu Mingyuan raised his eyes, folded the paper for him, and looked at the clock on the wall. “Is there anything else?”

Fu Mingli grinned cheekily. “Ge, you….what relationship do you have with that Sweetie ah? 

“Why is he calling you ‘Gege’?

“If you are really going to treat him as a godbrother, then can I call him ‘Ge’ in the future?” 

Fu Mingyuan frowned. “No.

“You’re still not going to sleep?” 

“Ge, our classmates sleep at…” Fu Mingli hadn’t finished talking yet when his older brother started searching through a drawer.

Fu Mingli picked up the paper and ran away. 

He wasn’t afraid of anything, he was only afraid that his older brother would find that copy of Comprehensive Mirror in Aid of Governance for him to copy out.

That was even worse than being beaten. 

“Close the door.” Fu Mingyuan pinched his brow.

Fu Mingli approached the door. “Good night, Ge!” 

He closed the door very sharply.

It was only after making sure that he had left that Fu Mingyuan checked his messages. 

Fu Mingyuan had his own PR team.

Today, this PR team that many media PR teams feared encountered its first Waterloo ever. 

They couldn’t compete with that sockpuppet account!

Although the other side was cursing out antis, this PR team that didn’t mix with the e-sports circle couldn’t tell whether this person was friendly or an enemy. 

In order to avoid making mistakes, after weighing the consequences, they deleted the Weibo posts.

…. 

When he received “Gege’s” reply, it was already half past ten.

Shen Qi didn’t feel sleepy. 

The moment he had opened the express package lingered in his mind.

fmy: What does TVT mean? 

fmy: I was just signing some things for my little brother, my apologies

Your Qi Ge: TVT means crying ya, Gege~ 

Your Qi Ge: What is Gege apologizing for~ I was the one who hung up first~ If Gege feels sorry, then he can make up for it now~

fmy：…… 

fmy: Why are there suddenly so many wavy things, is there something you’re not happy about?

Shen Qi thought for a while. 

And then he forwarded over those screenshots YeTun had sent him.

Your Qi Ge: TVT there is~ When I was typing, this Weibo post was deleted 

Fu Mingyuan had a bewildered expression.

Fu Mingyuan: ….. 

This was the Weibo post just mentioned by his PR team, and in these two screenshots, the comments circled there were exactly the comments that the PR team had said that they couldn’t “fight against.”

fmy：…… 

fmy: Sorry, my people deleted it

Shen Qi licked his dry lips. 

Your Qi Ge: Are you the one controlling the comments~ Gege~

fmy: Yes 

Your Qi Ge: StarryEyed.jpg

Your Qi Ge: Gege~ You’re also a loyal fan ah~ 

Your Qi Ge: Gege, you’re so powerful~

fmy：…… 

Your Qi Ge: MwahMwah.jpg

Fu Mingyuan moved his finger. 

It was the same MwahMwah emoticon as last time.

His ears were hot again. 

Before waiting for his reply, the other party took the lead in sending over: GoodNight.jpg

Fu Mingyuan whispered, “Good night.” 

…..

That night, Shen Qi didn’t sleep well. 

He was stuck in a state between wakefulness and sleep.

He woke up early the next day. 

He looked at his cell phone, and somewhat irritably scratched his messy hair.

He should have thanked the other party. 

But last night, the inexplicable emotions at the bottom of his heart had made him unable to express his gratitude.

He stayed on the chat interface with “20,000 yuan” for a long time, typing and deleting, but in the end he didn’t even send out a word. 

Finally, Shen Qi half opened his eyes and threw his cellphone at the head of the bed before turning on the computer.

He didn’t start a livestream. 

Instead, he went directly to the administrator.

[Administrator Gege~ Are you there~ Can you tell me who reported me last time~] 

[TVT Administrator Gege~ Don’t be so cold and heartless ya~]

[Administrator: Sorry, that can’t be disclosed] 

[Are you a little Gege~]

The opposite side didn’t reply again. 

The anti group that Shen Qi had added yesterday hadn’t responded to him yet.

He opened up his livestream, and then went to wash up. 

He didn’t turn on the camera today.

By the time he came back, the number one contributor was already there. 

Shen Qi was stunned for a while, and then said hello to everyone as if nothing had happened.

Because it was still early, there weren’t many people in the livestream. 

Shen Qi was in a bad mood today, so after saying hello, he didn’t say a word. He just paid attention to his own matters and started a solo match.

Not long after the game started, strange words mixed into the barrage. 

[Did you get the stuff? Did you like it? Were you surprised? Don’t worry, there will be more surprises]

The author has something to say: 

I myself will go up to fight.

Juurensha: Ugggghh is it some sort of creepy stalker? 

kat: Neighbor Fu to the rescue??
