Positive internet celebrity (9): The provocateur who came to the door

Chen Yi was arrested.

Because of various reasons such as possession of firearms, illegal kidnapping, and the country’s severe crackdown on criminal gangs, he was sentenced to a full ten years in prison.

Ten years later, Chen Yi was released from prison after serving his sentence because of his good behavior and obvious attitude of correction.

No one came to pick him up, and no one wanted to pick him up.

He had no family and had lost all his friends. His former classmates certainly did not want to have any personal contact with such a scumbag anymore. He stood alone at the prison gate, and everything seemed to have returned to the starting point, or even worse than the starting point.

He was already a person who had been to prison and had a tainted record.

A man was walking outside the prison. It took him more than half an hour to stop a car on the road.

The taxi driver was an experienced man. He knew that he might encounter some people who had just been released from prison on this road, so he tried his best to remain quiet along the way and did not talk to the passengers behind him at all.

Chen Yi didn’t want to chat with the driver at first.

But as soon as the car drove to a place far away from the suburbs and close to the city, he saw a familiar figure frequently appearing in front of him. He was wearing an ancient costume, with a smile on his face, standing in the most conspicuous position where people were coming and going.

It’s Si Qi!

Chen Yi’s eyes turned red at that moment. He pressed himself against the glass window and stared fiercely at the figure in front of him.

Even after the car left the area with the huge billboard, Chen Yi’s mind was still filled with hatred. However, before he could think clearly, he saw the damned face on the flyer behind the back seat of the car.

He yanked the flyer from the seat of the car, and his fingers crumpled the paper into a mess.

Ambassador of the capital city…

What the hell was this?

Why did it appear in taxis as if it was a matter of course, just like a celebrity poster, deliberately put by the driver in the most conspicuous position.

It was as if… they were very proud of Si Qi’s existence.

Chen Yi asked the driver directly: “Is Si Qi famous now?”

The driver paused for a few seconds, probably wondering when Chen Yi was imprisoned and why he didn’t even recognize Si Qi.

Didn’t this person become a global sensation as soon as he appeared?

He said vaguely, not really wanting to chat with Chen Yi: “He is the most famous person in China.”

After hearing this, Chen Yi angrily crumpled the flyer into a ball and held it tightly.

Damn it, damn it, damn it!!

While he was suffering every day and living a hard life in prison, his enemy was not only living well outside, but even living a more carefree life than anyone else!!

Chen Yi had a cold face, not looking at the driver’s eyes that occasionally glanced back. After arriving at the destination, he went directly to the business hall to top up his phone bill and apply for a data package, and then immediately searched the Internet for news about Si Qi.

The more he watched, the worse he felt.

There were numerous news reports about Si Qi on the Internet, and the number of fans under his blog account had already exceeded 100 million, not including overseas accounts!

He randomly clicked on a video related to Si Qi, which contained an interview with Si Qi’s parents.

In the picture, two middle-aged couples had kind and gentle smiles, and their faces were full of happiness.

They didn’t look like long-time high-ranking officials, but more like the silly parents who are everywhere showing off their precious sons to others, saying over and over again: “Now no one points at my son and says, ‘Look, that’s the son of the richest man.’ Instead, they say to us, ‘Oh, so you are Si Qi’s parents! Haha, Xiao Qi is the greatest pride of my life.”

The host asked Si’s parents, saying that Si Qi was now the pride of Chinese people, and everyone was very lucky that there was a person like Si Qi in their country. So at the beginning, when they heard that their son chose to be an Internet celebrity, did they have any objections?

Mr. Si groaned for a moment and replied, “No.

At the time, we felt that we owed that child a lot. Knowing that he had a goal in mind, our first reaction was to support and encourage him.

Seeing him so happy every time he broadcasts live or shoots a video, and seeing so many people love him. As parents, we can only feel relieved.

What’s more, even if he was interested in making videos, he never let us down and even did better than we expected.

He didn’t give up on his studies and concentrated on making money like those Internet stars who threw themselves into the glamorous world of money and glamor once they became famous. He still fulfilled his duties as a student very well. He studied hard when he should have studied, shot videos in his spare time, and supplemented his extracurricular knowledge when he had free time.

He said that as an idol loved by everyone, he should set a good example for his fans, instead of being arrogant and forgetting his bottom line just because he is loved. I think his idea is very good. He has grown up and become a good child who does not need his parents to worry about him. He is my honor.”

After hearing this, the host smiled and continued, “He is indeed honored. When you said that Si Qi likes to study, it reminded me of a piece of news from a long time ago.

It may be difficult for everyone nowadays to associate the term ‘student scumbag’ with Si Qi. After all, he is the god of learning in everyone’s mind. He is well-read and has dabbled in almost every field of knowledge, and is very proficient in it…

But it is said that when he was in high school, Si Qi was actually just a poor student. But after becoming famous, he felt that he was not good enough and not worthy of being a role model for others, so he worked hard for a year and finally successfully entered National Tsing Hua University. Netizens at the time called it an inspirational miracle, and a director even made a movie about it.

At the time, many netizens were praising Si Qi as a positive internet celebrity and an idol that college students should emulate. Looking at this from today’s perspective, it may seem outdated, but at the time it did cause a lot of netizens to gasp in amazement.”

Si Qi’s parents couldn’t stop smiling with pride, and said modestly: “Yes, Xiao Qi really likes to study and learn, and knows a little bit about everything…”

Seeing a group of people praising Si Qi crazily, Chen Yi, who couldn’t bear it any longer, turned off the video with a livid face. He pinched his brows and took a few deep breaths to prevent the anger from completely overwhelming his mind.

He clicked on the encyclopedia search and typed in Si Qi’s name. He felt that it was impossible for a web page of this nature to not have some pertinent comments behind the fans’ filter.

So he frowned and read on.

What Si Qi did was to promote China’s quintessence to the world, attracting more and more foreigners to put aside their prejudices and understand China’s 5,000-year history.

Why? Because of Si Qi, more and more people were falling in love with China, this peace-loving and friendly country.

What a trend-setter of the youth of the new era, a breath of fresh air in this impetuous world. Every time you watch his videos, you can always feel the beauty of this world and the tranquility in your heart.

…Young, handsome, with a positive outlook, he never backs down in the face of difficulties and never escapes from danger. He takes his life seriously, constantly shows everyone the possibilities of humanity, and inspires countless people to have beautiful expectations for this world.

He was a positive energy idol who was truly worthy of being admired in this era.

He was a miracle of the world.

…

Chen Yi was so angry that his face turned pale. No matter how he flipped through the pages, all he saw were things he absolutely did not want to see.

Were all the people in this world crazy? There was not even one person who would scold Si Qi. He was a human, not a god, so why was he liked by so many people!

With trembling hands, he angrily closed the encyclopedia filled with praises. Chen Yi looked down at the latest news with a very high click-through rate, and his pupils subconsciously shrank uncontrollably.

He took a few seconds to make sure whether he was dazzled or not, then forced himself to click on the news with great difficulty, his heart sinking more and more.

This was a three-minute interview.

It was placed on that well-known CCTV program that is watched by people all over the country.

In the video, the reporter rang the doorbell, and the young man opened the door, revealing a face that was even more handsome than a few years ago. He generously and naturally invited several people to come in and sit down.

Through the camera, you could see that his home was filled with all kinds of books, neatly placed on the bookcases and desks.

The reporter sat opposite him, and the boy answered after the interview: “I think the existence of idol stars or Internet celebrities is to give everyone positive energy, to show everyone the good side of the world, and to bring some spiritual growth.

So I keep learning more knowledge and doing what I can for this society.

Many times when I see some foreign netizens say, ‘Thank you 47 for bringing us to see the real China,’ and that they finally understand the beauty of Chinese culture, I feel genuinely happy, and it makes me feel that everything I do is valuable.

Maybe some people thought that the outside world was better, but that is a thing of the past. We have long since become no worse than anyone else and are able to attract more and more people to learn our culture.

Of course there were some difficulties during the video shooting, but they were nothing.

If one of my videos can help hundreds of millions of people gain a little insight after watching it, then all my efforts are worth it.

Isn’t that what idols are all about? They can contribute to society, set an excellent goal for their fans, and urge them to do better and better… This is how I define myself.”

At the end of the video, the host sat in the studio and said with a smile: “A strong youth means a strong country. Some people say that Internet celebrities are just a group of ugly little bastards who seek favor, but we say that Internet celebrities like Si Qi deserve to be admired by everyone.”

On the screen, comments from netizens flashed one after another, and many netizens discussed:

[Is this the country supporting 47? Some time ago, some people abroad maliciously slandered him, and the incident became a big deal. As a result, some fence-sitters in the country also started to criticize him mindlessly.]

[Even Si Qi can be criticized by some people, I really don’t know what those people are thinking! ]

[I am really glad that Si Qi is from our country. You may not know that I went abroad to study not long ago. When many people heard that I was Chinese, their first reaction was Si Qi! They were much more enthusiastic towards me than towards international students from other countries.]

[Yes, and many foreigners have learned how to make sweet and sour pork because Si Qi’s mother always cooked sweet and sour pork into charcoal for him to eat. After the news spread, netizens all over the world began to learn how to make this dish, taking photos and posting them online to invite Si Qi to their home for dinner. At that time, when you opened the social network, it was full of photos of sweet and sour pork. Various entertainment programs also crazily took advantage of the popularity of sweet and sour pork and invited celebrities to cook on site]

[Hahahaha, my family also made sweet and sour pork every day during that time, even my dad learned from it! ]

[Si Qi is really super famous. My friend abroad told me that he saw Si Qi’s name on a test paper in China a few years ago and thought it was amazing. Later, when he went to study in Italy, he found that he could still see Si Qi’s name on the test paper. He felt very calm at that time. When he came back, he told me that he might be inseparable from Si Qi’s influence for the rest of his life, hahahaha]

[Yes, in that popular movie, didn’t the actor so-and-so make a joke about Si Qi in one of his lines? I guess there is really no one in the world who doesn’t know his name, unless that country doesn’t have internet access]

[In the final analysis, I should really thank those classmates who initially brought Si Qi to the path of Internet celebrity. If they hadn’t fought with Si Qi, we might have missed out on such a treasure boy in the world.]

[Hahaha! In that case, should we thank that classmate who was involved in organized crime? It was because Si Qi found out that something was wrong with him that there was the “spy video” that made Si Qi famous~]

Seeing these people brazenly making fun of his scars, Chen Yi couldn’t help but recall the suffering he had endured in prison over the years, and who had caused him to fall into this situation. He could no longer suppress his anger, and he threw his phone to the ground, stomping on the machine with his feet.

“Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!!”

He was no longer a teenager. He clenched his fists, bloodshot eyes, and shouted like a devil crawling out of hell: “I can’t just let it go, I can’t just let it go… I won’t let you go, I will never let you go!!”

–

In the consciousness space, the system simulated the image of a little dragon as usual, golden, delicate and cute, almost exactly the same as Si Qi when he was just born.

The little golden dragon lay on the ground with his legs crossed, counting the “money” and muttering in a confident tone: [Eighty percent of the world’s power, ninety percent of the world’s power, the world’s power…]

Xiu Xiu became happier the more he counted. He jumped up from his consciousness, wagging his tail and excitedly said to Si Qi: [Master, Master! The world power of this world has exceeded 130%! Master, you are so amazing! ! ]

Si Qi raised his chin, very proud: [Of course, such a small matter, I can just move my fingers and it will be done easily! ]

Xiu Xiu said with starry eyes: [Master, Xiu Xiu admires you so much~~]

[Oh, oh, oh~ Of course!] Si Qi was flattered and felt very happy. He took out a large amount of world power and sent it into Xiu Xiu’s body. He smiled and said, [Here, I’ll give you some pocket money~]

[Yeah~!!] Xiu Xiu kissed the air crazily and rolled on the ground happily, [Xiu Xiu loves his master the most!!]

Like the Son of the World, the Quick Traveler could also obtain the power of the world. In other words, the Quick Traveler, who is immortal and has almost no material needs, works hard for the sake of that tiny bit of the power of the world.

Every time a world is completed, the children of the world will be pushed behind the scenes to gain more world power, and part of that extra power will become the reward for the quick traveler.

It’s just like a courier who gets his commission based on how much he delivers.

The work of a quick traveler is essentially similar to this operating model.

In order to gain more world power, quick travelers would often try to shorten the working time of each task as much as possible, deliver the golden fingers in the shortest time and “die” immediately, and then quickly enter the next world, constantly repeating the previous work process, like hard working and busy bees in a flower field.

When Si Qi initially refused to provide the Son of the World with the golden finger and even insisted on doing the opposite of the Son of the World, Xiu Xiu, who was half a party to the case, was actually quite panicked in her heart.

The Quick Travel Bureau has been established for so many years, and no Quick Traveler has ever dared to do such a thing.

Everyone knew that if the Son of the World died, or failed to successfully complete the mission entrusted to him by the world, then most of the world’s power spent on him will disappear in an instant.

Such a huge amount of power was a huge asset that many quick travelers could not offset even if they completed thousands of tasks.

What’s more, Si Qi was just a newbie at the time. If the mission failed, causing the world power of that world to be in a state of loss for a long time, the result would not be solved by Si Qi’s resignation and apology alone. Even if he used his life to pay back, he could not repay such a huge world power. This was a matter that only the Lord God could solve. It was extremely serious in nature and could be described as extremely evil.

After the truth was exposed, it was unclear whether the quick traveler could survive. Then there was no chance for Xiu Xiu, who was equivalent to the system, status and tool, to survive.

He would be implicated, destroyed, his self-will erased, and he would disappear in any corner of the universe, never to exist again.

Generally speaking, the first reaction of a system that is responsible for supervising the quick-travelers to prevent them from violating the rules should be to report the matter and get the deviated world line back to its original track as soon as possible.

Whether for the future development of that small world or for his own safety, Xiu Xiu should do this.

However, after noticing Si Qi’s intention and realizing the seriousness of the matter, Xiu Xiu did not immediately report it to the Quick Travel Bureau to ask the people in the bureau to come and arrest the “defector” Si Qi.

He knew what would happen to Si Qi if he reported him, so after the extreme panic and fear, out of concern for Si Qi, Xiu Xiu never raised any objections from beginning to end, and even concealed the fact that he would be punished as well after the incident, and wholeheartedly helped Si Qi escape from the pursuit of those martial artists. And in the next ten years, he assisted Si Qi as much as possible and used the most difficult way to make the world line of that world come full circle. He never said that Si Qi was wrong even once, and never got angry with him because of his dangerous situation.

It was only much later that Si Qi realized that if his plan had failed, Xiu Xiu would have died. The emotion he felt at that time was simply beyond words.

When he risked his life for his friend, Xiu Xiu was actually also risking heis life for him, silently protecting him.

So afterwards, after Si Qi asked other colleagues about many features of the system, he knew that Xiu Xiu actually liked the power of the world as well, and could use the power of the world to purchase items like the quick traveler. So Si Qi always found reasons and excuses every now and then to give Xiu Xiu a lot of world power. It was a sum of “pocket money” that even other quick travelers would be jealous of. However, Si Qi gave it as soon as he said he would, and he had never been stingy with Xiu Xiu.

This could be considered as the reward for Xiu Xiu’s unconditional trust in him and entrusting his life to him.

What’s more, he earns a lot.

Generally speaking, a world without a child of the world could normally obtain 100% of the world’s power. There was no surplus, but it was not a loss either. It’s just that there is no extra power to feed back to the main god, which is like a chicken rib.

In a world with the existence of the Son of the World, if the Son of the World has a huge influence on the world, and even promotes the cross-era development of a certain industry or field in that world, then if one is lucky, reaching 120% would not be a problem.

Even though it is only an increase of 20%, it is 20% of the entire world and its significance cannot be underestimated.

If the world power of that world was forcibly pushed to above 120, or even to 150, or even 180, it could almost be said to be superior to most small worlds. It was so excellent that the director of the Quick Travel Bureau would be woken up by laughter in his sleep.

And since that martial arts world, Si Qi’s world development degree has never been lower than one hundred and thirty.

Not to mention that he always kicked the Son of the World away and gained all the benefits on his behalf. Therefore, the reward of the power of the world in the end could not be described as a mere “commission”. It was the luck of the entire small world that was concentrated on him. Maybe his benefits were a little more than the rewards that the Lord God could get in the end.

Moreover, he would always respect the feelings of the original owner and those around him. Unless there were special circumstances, he would try his best to live until the day of his death, rather than leaving immediately after earning a good profit.

This also indirectly prolonged Si Qi’s influence on those small worlds, allowing the number of Sons of the World he could harvest to reach the highest limit each time.

Therefore, compared with other senior quick-travelers, Si Qi has the shortest time in the industry and is somewhat lacking in experience.

But in terms of total assets, Si Qi is not lower than those people at all.

Right now, the world’s progress has reached 137 percent, and there would probably be no problem in continuing to develop to 150 or even 180 percent in the future.

Speaking of the power of the world, Si Qi calculated the time and said to Xiu Xiu: “Chen Yi has been released from prison, right?”
