CHAPTER 628: CHAPTER 628: 9.9 YUAN WITH FREE SHIPPING!

""Ghost" is Zhang Yue?’

Chen Zijin looked at the news on her phone, then raised her head to look at Zhang Yue sitting across from her, wearing a look of utter disbelief, "Someone’s saying you’re the ghost, what kind of dumbass came up with that rumor?"

Zhang Yue, unhurriedly, tapped open the news article.

The poster had hidden their identity, but from the looks of it, it was clearly orchestrated by someone from the Seven Nations, highly likely an idiot from Eastern.

Because they just loved to pull this kind of shameless stunt.

However, the content written by the poster was quite vivid and lifelike.

[Currently, the number of victims across the world has exceeded one thousand. All were elite professionals from various countries, including even the second strongest from Cold Nation, Ghost Shadow An Jixiu. The ghost’s power can be imagined. A person who is invincible within the Level 175 range, there’s only one in the world right now, and that’s Dragon Nation’s Zero. Moreover, Zero has been offline from noon until now and hasn’t turned on his livestream as required. The time when the ghost struck coincides exactly with the period when Zero avoided public view. Without a doubt, Zero is the ghost. He wants to use this chance to take revenge on the major powers.] [T/N: So what? Cry me a river.]

Naturally, there were also many heated debates under this post from people all over the world.

["Is the poster brain-dead? The victims are spread across every battlefield of the Tier-2 arena. By rule, contestants can switch battlefields at any time, right? And even among the victims are professionals from Dragon Nation, what, is he killing his own Nationmen too?"]

["But how do you explain the fact that Zero indeed didn’t turn on his livestream as required? And from noon until now, he hasn’t been inside the Hell Gladiator Arena, it’s like he deliberately faked being absent, when in fact, he’s been hiding in some corner of the arena the whole time? Besides, aside from Zero, ordinary people really don’t have the power to pull this off. Ghost Shadow An Jixiu had a 95% survival rate even under Frost Mage King Kwon Ji-Hyun. Someone who can one-shot him is definitely not just anyone."]

["The guy upstairs is a giant dumbass! As a contestant, it’s fine to stream during the match, but does he need to livestream while he’s eating or taking a crap offline too?"]

["Regardless, Zero is highly suspicious! Unless he immediately turns on his livestream and proves his innocence!"]

Reading through these comments, Chen Zijin shook her head, "Public opinion really is terrifying."

"Why is no one suspecting him?", Chen Zijin flipped through the comments again, then suddenly her eyes lit up, "Got it!"

["Does anyone remember the warrior wearing flowing gold armor who was with Zero two days ago and summoned a hydra to defeat the Ghost Sword professional Alpha? Is it possible that he’s the one responsible?"]

Unfortunately, under the public pressure driven by the Seven Nations, that thread didn’t gain much traction. Right now, all the world’s attention was focused on Zhang Yue.

"Looks like you’ll have to go online and stream, just to prove your innocence~", Chen Zijin looked at Zhang Yue, her expression helpless.

Zhang Yue, from beginning to end, maintained a completely indifferent attitude.

In fact, he seemed rather relaxed, "Well, this just proves that if I go all out, I’ll even kill my own people. That way, no one will dare disrespect Dragon Nation anymore."

Zhang Yue’s one-liner nearly fried Chen Zijin’s CPU.

She stayed silent for a whole 3 seconds.

"...Makes sense."

That said, after finishing his meal, Zhang Yue still logged into the Otherworld and entered the Hell Gladiator Arena.

Of course, not to prove his innocence.

Simply because: the Arena Level-3 was about to open, and he was about to start advancing through it.

After entering the Hell Gladiator Arena, Zhang Yue activated the livestream feature.

["Zero has started livestreaming!"]

As soon as this news broke, viewers from all nations of the world flooded into Zhang Yue’s livestream room.

In an instant, the viewer count in Zhang Yue’s livestream room skyrocketed.

Within moments, the number of online viewers surpassed 100 million.

The comment barrage was like a Gatling gun firing at 10x speed.

["Damn it, you bastard finally started livestreaming, can’t even own up to what you’ve done? Sneaking around killing off contestants from every nation to get back at society? Be a decent human being."]

["Was it really you, Zero God? I may not be from Dragon Nation, but I really admired you, I’m a huge fan. But if it really was you, I’ll have to switch from fan to hater, because even our Adan Nation lost a bunch of people."]

["Bro, post some proof! Clear your name and show us you’re not the ghost!"]

["How’s he supposed to prove it? Just raise both hands and say ’I’m not the ghost’?"]

["As long as he stays online and streams, we can watch him. If anyone disappears during that time, then Zero definitely isn’t the ghost."]

Zhang Yue’s attention was all on the continuously rising viewer count in his stream.

Watching the number shoot past 2 billion+, already surpassing this morning’s livestream performance.

As countless people spammed the comment feed asking Zhang Yue to prove he wasn’t the ghost, Zhang Yue suddenly pulled up a panel and started clicking around.

The next second, in the lower-right corner of the livestream, a popup appeared with a clickable link.

Immediately, 2 billion viewers in the livestream were all baffled.

["What’s this? A link?"]

["Is this a pre-recorded video proving he wasn’t present? This is the evidence?"]

["Prove what? Isn’t this probably a virus? Those victims, before they died, their livestreams cut off. Maybe it’s because they clicked this link! Don’t click! It’s a trap!"]

While everyone was still full of doubt, Zhang Yue spoke to the livestream audience, "That link in the lower right, click it, everyone. What you’re looking for is in there."

Hearing this, the viewers frantically clicked the link.

Next moment, the comment barrage exploded with complaints...

["WTF? What is this crap? A snack noodle ad for Little Raccoon brand?"]

["Streamer, are you *ing with us? You think we’re that dumb?"]

["Little Raccoon? I’ll eat your ***** Little Raccoon!"]

["Didn’t he say this link was evidence? Where’s the evidence? Why’d I get a noodle ad? Wait... 9.9 yuan for 20 packs with free shipping? That’s actually a decent deal. Should I buy some?"]

Zhang Yue immediately started munching on a pack of Little Raccoon snacks, "Tastes great. If you’re interested, tap Link #1 to order. If you don’t like it, full refund."

Despite the outrage, Zhang Yue’s backend showed that Little Raccoon orders had suddenly exploded.

Sales numbers were climbing like crazy.

And over 98% of the orders were from overseas.

Instantly, even finance genius Ouyang Linger had to give Zhang Yue a thumbs-up, ["Guild Leader, this move of yours is absolutely genius."]

["Respect, I truly respect you! I’ve never seen anyone so good at making money!"]

At that moment, Zhang Yue sent a message to Ouyang Linger, ["Contact the Little Raccoon factory, don’t send me any profits. Transfer everything directly to the national treasury as domestic funds."]

Ouyang Linger: ["Sir, you are a man of great virtue."]

And so, Little Raccoon’s manufacturer in Dragon Nation issued a nationwide hiring notice overnight, [Urgent high-pay recruitment for snack noodle packagers. Daily wage: 800 yuan...]
