CHAPTER 289: CHAPTER 248: APPLY FOR HERITAGE STATUS FOR ’FLY’!_2

If Li Zheng really did follow the internet line to cut someone down, as long as they’re not the ones dying, they’d be even happier.

Because they’d then have more grounds to attack Li Zheng.

They wouldn’t mind if Liu Zi died even more miserably, they’re just afraid he wouldn’t die miserably enough and might live better than them.

How could Li Zheng not see through these people’s mentality?

But he doesn’t mind; he just does what he can and wants to do, with a clear conscience.

If others slander him, he will provide evidence to clear his name, but if they still don’t believe, that’s not his problem.

Believe it or not!

If they really push him to the edge, Li Zheng wouldn’t mind killing a few more people, just like he did with Shinoda Chizuru, to set an example.

"I hope those players who followed the trend to curse at me during this time will stick to their principles, and absolutely do not turn against them. When one day others become stronger and live better than you, it will be too late for regrets!" Putting down his bowl, Li Zheng licked the rice oil off his lips, still wanting more.

"Get in touch with Zhan Zhouzhou and have her screen the audience in the Swordsmanship Classroom, kicking out those brain-dead ones mixed in there." Li Zheng opened the group chat and shared his intentions with Zhan Zhouzhou.

The other party agreed on the spot, and even others came up with a better idea.

Lu Li said, "There are too many viewers, and even more idiots cursing Li... cursing at my dear father. Zhan the heroine can’t handle it alone, so I suggest why not have the audience supervise each other? If they report one, once verified, they can get a reward from Zhan the heroine or dear father. I believe those people know what to do."

Li Zheng gave him a thumbs up immediately: "Kid, surprisingly reliable at a critical moment, worthy of a reward!"

Then he sent the remaining small bowl of fragrant rice porridge from breakfast to Lu Li, along with a dish of appetizing spicy kimchi.

Lu Li tasted a bite and was moved to tears: "Serving dear father, I’ll go all out, even unto death! [Photo]"

The attached food photo immediately sparked collective outrage. As the group owner, Ye Yuan immediately gave Lu Li a muted package, so he could take his time to enjoy the food and reflect on himself.

Others took advantage of Lu Li being unable to speak and severed him with verbal accusations in the group, completely ignoring that he wasn’t even checking the group chat.

At this moment, Li Chun suddenly asked: "Brother Li Zheng, I watched the video in your live broadcast room. Is it considered indirect dissemination of obscene videos?"

Phoenix Mountain: "Girl, are you mentally absent? Didn’t you notice everyone didn’t bring up that issue? If he removed the video, what would others have to divert themselves at night?"

[Lu Li lifted the speaking restriction on himself.]

Lu Li: "Big girl, your character is going to collapse! You actually watched the entire five-hour video? I retreated from malnutrition after half an hour."

Ye Yuan: "Damn? When did I make you an admin?"

[Lu Li was removed from admin duties by group owner Ye Yuan.]

[Lu Li was muted by group owner Ye Yuan for three hours.]

Yan Guang: "I can’t control what others use to pass the time, @Phoenix Mountain if you had given me and Little Rain a chance, you wouldn’t have said that!"

[Yan Guang, Phoenix Mountain were muted by group owner Ye Yuan for three hours.]

Ye Yuan: "Is this public dog show?"

Everyone: "...Feeling offended."

Zhan Zhouzhou: "@Li Zheng, most players who would pay attention to this issue have already seen the video. Perhaps it would be best to take down the video for now?"

Chu Xiao: "Can’t take it down! I read through the bullet chats, and the public opinion is very unfavorable to Li Zheng. Taking it down now would only invite speculation."

Ye Kai’s opinion is the same as Chu Xiao’s: "Exactly, if he takes down the video now, people would say he has a guilty conscience, and they might even claim the video is fake!"

Ye Yuan: "Isn’t that a stalemate then?"

Liu Jiale offers a suggestion: "Isn’t it simple? Just edit the video, keeping only the key evidence. From what I saw, several shots don’t reveal any crucial parts. Just blur them slightly, it should be fine."

Chu Xiao: "It’s useless. Once a video is edited, it loses its integrity, and it will still be questioned by more people! Li Zheng posted the full content, likely considering this issue."

Liu Jiale: "Makes sense, but Shinoda Chizuru is already dead. The deceased are significant; those explicit contents severely damage her reputation, perhaps Li Zheng should take down the video, and we continue to come up with a plan."

At this point, Li Zheng finally sent a message: "It’s too late, the video was deleted by the Terminal, and the live streaming room was also banned by the Terminal, saying I violated the live stream rules; the streaming room is suspended for three days as a warning."

Chu Xiao: "Crap! The Terminal banning your live streaming room now is practically an endorsement for those people. Others will soon say you were punished by the Terminal for spreading false content!"

Ye Yuan puzzled: "But wasn’t it exactly because of those explicit contents that he got banned?"

Ye Kai explained to her: "Do you think those people care about the truth?"

Ye Yuan complained: "Old Li honestly, getting hold of such critical evidence, why didn’t you discuss with us in advance? Now It’s become counterproductive; things are heading for the worse."

Li Zheng smiled bitterly; he didn’t expect the Terminal to show up and cause trouble for him at this critical time!

Zhan Zhouzhou said: "There’s no point debating this now, the key is what Li Zheng should do next. If he can’t quickly clear his name of this rape charge, he will face many obstacles in whatever he tries to do in the future."

Her words were factual. As long as Li Zheng can’t clear this charge, if he tries to trade on the world channel later, there will definitely be a number of moral crusaders trying in various ways to obstruct him.

This is indeed a minor inconvenience for Li Zheng. Although there are many who wouldn’t care about these issues, and transactions would still happen, if left unaddressed, the player community will undoubtedly become chaotic.

Furthermore, for Li Zheng personally, constantly being insulted is also quite disgusting.

At this moment, Li Zheng suddenly felt that there was a ridiculous phenomenon in the Matrix.

Clearly, murder might carry a slightly harsher accusation than rape, and yet the proportion of red-labeled players is higher.

But the strange thing is, as long as the murder is not exposed, everyone seems to have a tacit understanding, and no one pursues it.

Only Li Zheng and their small group acted out something everyone thought naïve.

Which was opposing red labels.

Even more bizarre, what was exposed regarding Li Zheng was not murder but rape.

And even this accusation was fabricated, but the consequences were more severe than if he had killed someone.

Sometimes he couldn’t comprehend if people’s moral boundaries were high or low.

Liu Jiale: "Why don’t we listen to the opinion of the genius? That guy probably has plenty of tricks up his sleeve, doesn’t he?"

[Liu Jiale lifted the speaking restriction on Lu Li.]

Ye Yuan was exasperated: "How come everyone is an admin?!"

She forgot that when she created the group, since they were all acquaintances, she casually made everyone an admin.

Lu Li: "Hmph, when you need someone, you call them a genius. When you’re unhappy, you just mute them. Pffft, jerk... woman!"

Li Zheng turned grim: "Behave, or you won’t get a share of any future cuisine!"

Dealing with Lu Li, this method was practically a killer move, making him instantly behave.

Lu Li: "Hehe, dear father is right to teach me!"

In fact, it’s not just him; this method was also a killer move for others. As long as Li Zheng threatened with cuisine, there was practically no one who wouldn’t comply.

After all, there’s an old saying in Dragon Country: ’Food is the paramount necessity of the people.’

One can be at odds with anything, except not with food.

The cuisine Li Zheng offered was genuinely delicious, and currently, it was a unique offering on the market.

Li Zheng asked him: "Regarding the current situation, do you have any solutions? Share with us."

"Isn’t it simple?" The information Lu Li sent carried an eerie vibe: "Since you can’t solve the problem, then solve the people who raised the problem!"

"With that, there will be no worries under heaven!"
