Waking up again with the help of the Little Sakura alarm clock, Li Zheng glanced at the ti; it was already past 10:40, almost noon.
He was a bit surprised: "Didn’t expect you to sleep in sotis."
"Aww..." Little Sakura lowered its head. If it weren’t for Li Zheng dragging it around and getting into a few fights last night, it wouldn’t have overslept today.
Without any awareness of his own sleep-in, Li Zheng got up, prepared the first al of the day, and then proceeded with his daily routine with Little Sakura.
Li Zheng had high standards for Little Sakura, requiring teeth brushing twice a day and baths before sleep.
The toothbrush was sothing Li Zheng found in the trading hall, a gray-quality bristle brush typically used for cleaning shoes, which beca a toothbrush for Little Sakura.
Toothpaste was unavailable; it was unclear if no one had discovered it yet or if others were reluctant to sell it. Li Zheng had searched for several days and hadn’t found any.
Fortunately, cooking supplies had substitutes like baking soda and sea salt, so dental health was maintained well, and breath stayed fresh.
The lifestyle Li Zheng led might be ridiculed as pretentious, but he believed that since he had the ability, why not live a better life?
After washing up and preparing breakfast, Li Zheng retrieved the al and shared it with Little Sakura at the doorway.
Breakfast was porridge made from Silver Level fragrant millet obtained on an adventure a few days ago. The rich aroma was intense, and after a while, a thick layer of rice oil ford on the surface, offering an excellent taste.
Paired with Li Zheng’s homade spicy pickled cabbage, it not only delighted the taste buds but also added two buffs to himself.
As a Silver Level crop, the fragrant millet, though not ticulously tended by Li Zheng, had produced several crops after being harvested.
However, Li Zheng’s luck was sothing else; although he harvested plenty of millet, enough for several als with Little Sakura, not a single seed was found.
"Honestly, the fact that the fruit and seed of fragrant millet are distinct is utterly nonsensical!" Venting, Li Zheng casually opened his livestream to check the reception of Shinoda Chizuru’s mory video.
He browsed through the records; although there were many views, the comnts deviated from the focus Li Zheng wanted to convey.
Few players were concerned about the truth, and even fewer apologized after watching the video, with less than a hundred comnts expressing apologies for previously insulting Li Zheng.
More comnts were suspicious, believing that Li Zheng released this first-person perspective video as a fabrication.
So observant individuals had noticed that Shinoda Chizuru was "offline," speculating in the comnts that it was possibly due to Li Zheng.
As a result, the lack of verification for the "fake video" further emboldened these comnts, with so even accusing Li Zheng of being both a "rapist" and a "murderer."
So even dug up past provocations involving High Celestial Plain and Lin Fan, exaggerating that Li Zheng had a violent tendency, almost making Li Zheng laugh.
"You can never wake soone who’s pretending to be asleep..." Li Zheng handled it well this ti, sighing as he searched through the comnt history to find the earliest players starting the "suspicions."
Sure enough, they had distinct nas from Nihong Country, and a few matched nas Li Zheng later discovered on a list.
"So that’s what it is; they themselves were exposed, so they devised this trick?" Li Zheng understood.
To ensure authenticity, this mory video retained all of Shinoda Chizuru’s mories as much as possible.
It included chat records discussing the setup plan with Shinoda Chizuru, with those people’s nas and plans completely exposed to the public.
However, these clips were at the back end of the video. To initially inform the public of Shinoda Chizuru’s true nature, Li Zheng deliberately left in her repeated pleas for refuge and the "sacrifices" she made for protection, which were extensive.
Nonetheless, viewers didn’t care for these details. So comnts even treated the mory video like a certain genre of film, leaving comnts asking Li Zheng to make more.
In fact, anyone could tell from watching the entire video that the two photos Shinoda Chizuru had shown matched scenes in the video.
It was very clear what Li Zheng was doing at that ti, easily clearing any suspicions.
But those who continued to berate and doubt him ignored these pieces of evidence like they were blind.
Li Zheng understood that people truly didn’t care how many bowls of rice soone ate; they just wanted that person to die!
Only through others’ misfortunes could those who faced daily exploration pressure and potential death find twisted consolation.
Because seeing that others were doing worse made them feel that their efforts to survive were worthwhile.
Especially since it involved Li Zheng himself, a sowhat "viral" figure who frequently made his presence felt on the world channel.
They knew facing Li Zheng head-on wouldn’t end well for them, but throwing a few verbal jabs online, what could he do?
Li Zheng wouldn’t actually trace the "internet cables" to hunt them down, right?
Even if he could.
With so many insults, how many could Li Zheng deal with? How unlucky would one have to be to be picked out?
