In Qin Mu’s video, it detailed the takeout delivery incident he had been involved in just a few days prior. At that ti, he had argued strenuously on behalf of the delivery worker in the comnts section. He called for everyone to treat takeout delivery workers with kindness and understanding, but he encountered many people with "twisted worldviews" who actually claid that leaving a bad review was their legitimate right. After his temper flared, he argued with these individuals with "twisted worldviews" for hours. Eventually, with an overwhelming nurical superiority, he "persuaded" them.
After all, the world is still mostly full of kind-hearted people.
But what he hadn’t expected was that, in Qin Mu’s video, Qin Mu had turned around and accused the delivery worker of poisoning!
"It must be fake, right? Just for spitting? At most, he’d compensate for the order—how could that be a poisoning offense?"
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. After much thought, he still felt uneasy. So, he tracked down the uploader takeout Xiao Liang’s account and sent a private ssage.
"Uploader, another uploader has posted a video slandering you, claiming you’ve been jailed for a cri. I suggest you sue him!"
The private ssage also included a link to the new video Qin Mu had just posted.
Afterward, he patiently began to wait. It wasn’t long before he received a reply from the uploader.
"I knew it, it’s fake! Definitely fake! How could he reply to ssages if he were in jail?"
Excited, he quickly opened the ssage, only to see a response that made his scalp tingle and scared him witless.
"Thank you for your concern. I’m the uploader’s girlfriend. He is currently detained and temporarily unable to reply to ssages."
Looking at this line of text, he turned sowhat pale, a bad premonition suddenly washing over him.
If what Qin Mu said was true... then as an active participant in the comnt section, with a comnt that had over ten thousand likes, wouldn’t he be one of those listed among the sixty nas?
"I haven’t been sued as well, have I?"
He swallowed hard. Gone was the confidence and composure he had when he used to pontificate online and denounce others for lacking empathy and humanity.
Obviously, Qin Mu had already sued him for defamation and insult.
"No way!"
After several minutes of anxiety, he suddenly raised his head, a realization dawning on him.
"I can’t just sit here and wait; I need to delete my comnts first!"
Picking up his phone, he found his comnt that had received over ten thousand likes, but then he witnessed a shocking scene. The number of comnts in the entire comnt section was decreasing at an alarming rate. If he rembered correctly, there had been thousands of comnts before. But now, with every refresh, the number of comnts dropped by dozens. His "comrades-in-arms" who had fought alongside him were not faring any better. It seed they were doing the sa thing he was.
「...」
「The next day.」
Qin Mu got up in the morning and habitually took out his phone to look at the video he had posted last night. He had been busy making this video until late after work yesterday. After just one night, its view count had already reached three million, with hopes of breaking ten million.
"Why is all my good luck being used up on this?" Qin Mu’s mouth twitched as he watched the view count rise rapidly, feeling sowhat helpless.
He had added 500 luck points to himself through a system reward. Logically speaking, his luck should now be considered outrageously good. But, apart from catching the Ancient Wood and ensuring his videos always went viral, he hadn’t noticed any other effects for now. Instead, Old Zhang and the others were always trying to set him up on dates. His romantic luck had certainly increased quite a bit.
"Maybe my daily life is too mundane," Qin Mu muttered to himself. "Should I... spare so ti to buy lottery tickets every day? With my current luck, I should be able to win sothing like five million in the lottery, right?"
Afterward, he looked at the comnt section of his own video and almost thought he was seeing things. The comnts had all turned into diary entries of various styles.
"The moonlight is nice tonight; I must be awake, tossing and turning with no sleep in sight."
"Tonight’s forecast is cloudy to clear, with a temperature of 39°C, as high as my current body temperature."
"After watching the video, I was reminded of the two trees in front of my village ho. One is a jujube tree, and the other is also a jujube tree."
"I don’t know what to say, so I’ll just wish everyone an early Happy New Year."
"..."
Thousands of comnts, and every single one was beating around the bush, with not a single one discussing the video’s content. Anyone who didn’t know better might think this was so kind of forum for recording one’s mood.
He shook his head helplessly and clicked on Ma Xiaotiao’s account, finding one of his videos. There, he saw his "real" comnt section.
The number of comnts there had accumulated to over one hundred thousand. The latest comnts were all discussing the content of his most recent video.
"I have a feeling this uploader is going to break another record! Suing everyone in one building last ti was nothing. This ti, he’s taking down the entire comnt section!"
"Whether Little Station is in chaos or not, the uploader calls the shots!"
"Dude! Quick, go check out takeout Xiao Liang’s comnt section! The trolls are deleting their comnts and fleeing. Thousands of comnts are now down to less than a thousand!"
"I just saw it too! Refresh, and a dozen comnts disappear. These trolls actually know fear!"
"It seems only this uploader can deal with these trolls. Never try reasoning with trolls!"
"..."
Compared to his own civilized and harmonious comnt section, this one was much more normal, with everyone discussing the poisoning offense. His video also served as a wake-up call to everyone: not everything could be done without consequences. Sotis, actions that seed trivial could actually land soone in jail!
After reading the comnts for ten minutes, Qin Mu found takeout Xiao Liang’s account again and looked at the video that had incited cyberbullying against him. But he discovered the comnt section there was much cleaner than before. Although it still contained so comnts sympathizing with the delivery worker and criticizing him (Qin Mu), they were only a small fraction. The oppressive feeling from the collective condemnation of thousands of comnts was gone. That kind of pressure could genuinely drive a person to beco reclusive, or even to commit suicide by jumping off a building.
"Ti to get up and go to work!"
After watching the video, Qin Mu stretched, got out of bed to wash up, and then headed off to work at the nursing ho.
「...」
「Zizhou.」
In a high-end residential community, at eleven in the morning, Qing Lan, who had just woken up, was sitting in bed, staring at her phone, lost in thought. Her delicate features were etched with shock.
After watching Qin Mu’s video last night, she had been closely following the developnt of the events. Therefore, upon waking up, she specifically checked takeout Xiao Liang’s account. But she discovered the comnt section, which was originally full of trolls, now had just over a hundred comnts left. Many of these remaining comnts were the result of her and fellow netizens’ efforts! And those comnts attacking them for lacking empathy and being cold-hearted had all mysteriously vanished!
The current comnt section was incredibly clean. Not a single comnt with foul language or malicious condemnation could be seen.
"Could it be... an internet cleanup campaign?"
She rubbed her eyes, almost thinking she was imagining things. The change had been too swift, happening in just one night.
