Hello, I am the Emperor of the Dark Empire.
Due to certain reasons, I was mistakenly teleported to Blue Water Star.
I urgently need a sum of money to launch a signal device into space t...
After a brief lull of two days.
Su Qingxiao seemed to have given up her wishful thinking.
But after seeing that Levi no longer cared much.
That night, she again used an indirect approach to talk to Levi, bringing up the topic from a few days ago.
"Your Majesty Levi, I recently read an online poll report and noticed a very bad trend."
"That is, globally, the number of netizens holding a positive and friendly attitude toward the Dark Empire and Your Majesty has dropped from 86.8% last year to 71.2% this year, while the number of netizens holding a negative and hostile attitude has increased from 17% last year to 31% this year."
"This is a very serious trend. There seems to be a force of public opinion maliciously slandering and defaming Your Majesty, even inciting the so-called 'Dark Empire Threat Theory' and 'Slavery of Blue Mercury Civilization Theory'... all kinds of heartbreaking theories. Their words are sinister and vicious, and they are absolutely deliberately trying to lead the trend and deliberately hate the Dark Empire and Your Majesty."
"These negative comments, which cannot withstand scrutiny, have led a considerable number of mindless netizens to believe them and follow their lead. If this trend continues unchecked, it will be extremely detrimental to your Majesty's interests."
Oh~
Levi said calmly, somewhat unconcernedly, "Someone's starting to smear me online again. Which media outlets are they targeting? Do they all want to become the next Facebook?"
This is a little episode from the past.
As early as the arrival of the "Dreadnought Bank", Levi's identity as the Emperor of the Dark Empire was officially announced.
As the world's largest social media owner, the Singaporean company Facebook started to pick a fight with Levi, exaggerating the "alien threat theory" every day, claiming that "aliens want to control Blue Mercury and enslave all mankind", and even creating rumors crazily, causing great panic.
For a period of time, the proportion of netizens who were fearful and wary of the Dark Empire was over 50%.
In order to eliminate the netizens' vigilance, Levi had people register several official accounts on Facebook, explaining the purpose of his short stay on Blue Mercury, saying that he "has no interest in ruling lower civilizations", "will leave after a while", "no need to worry or be afraid" ... in order to eliminate the netizens' fears.
However, on the same day, all these accounts were blocked.
The reason was "spreading false information and affecting community harmony."
Levi was annoyed and furious at the time. A group of low-level bugs were playing tricks on him.
Fine! You're looking for death, huh? I'll make sure you die!
The supercomputer only calculated for a few tenths of a second before the server was hacked, all data was deleted, and the CPU was overclocked and burned.
A company with a market value of more than 500 billion Star Swords collapsed in an instant.
Although the company tried to repair the server and rebuild the social platform in the following six months, it would crash within seconds as soon as it was connected to the Internet.
Then the founder of the company kept apologizing, begging for mercy, and repenting, but because it was included in the list of "enemies" of the Dark Empire, the social giant company no longer had the possibility of survival. After all, they had chosen to "die."
After the Internet giant fell in an instant, under the chilling effect, news reports about the Dark Empire and Levi became much more fair and objective, and no one dared to smear them too obviously and deliberately.
Unexpectedly, not long after, another group of online media with short memories appeared.
"Qing Xiao, bring out a list of names. I will immediately shut up those media outlets that are spreading rumors and slandering us."
"Your Majesty, the ones targeting you this time aren't media platforms, but rather marketing accounts. These accounts are usually quite hidden, and even if they're blocked, they can easily change their identities, making them virtually impossible to defend against."
Su Qingxiao explained, "Furthermore, several marketing accounts are very capable of deceiving people. They've carefully fabricated several conspiracy theories, and many netizens believe them. They've even formed special discussion groups, brainwashing people daily, reinforcing sensational claims like 'The Dark Empire is extremely dark,' 'His Majesty Levi is extremely evil,' 'The weak will all be killed,' and so on. Three-tenths of these claims are true, and seven-tenths are false. Their deceiving power is very strong."
"Well……"
Levi was now at a loss for words to refute. After all, not many people could accept the Dark Empire's "Dark Theory", and it might even face a lot of opposition and be understood by others as a "conspiracy theory". However, it was seven parts true and three parts false, so it wasn't a big problem.
So it’s better not to talk about it.
However, in this Internet age, there are not many secrets that can be hidden. It is normal for the "Dark Theory" to be leaked. Once it becomes widely known to the general public, the popularity of the Dark Empire and its emperor will probably drop below 50%.
"Your Majesty, it's better to open up than to block. The more severe the restrictions on some speech, the more violent the backlash. For example, after the collapse of Facebook, many countries and netizens cheered, causing your popularity and reputation to skyrocket. They praised your Majesty for doing the right thing, which was very gratifying."
"But we must not take any wrong actions that would cause us to lose the positive reputation we have worked so hard to build."
"Furthermore, Your Majesty, the main force of your Death Fleet has not yet arrived. Your Majesty still has many uses for Blue Mercury, so you must integrate with the locals, close the distance between them, and improve the relationship between the two sides. In the short term, we must continue to maintain a close and friendly cooperative relationship."
Su Qingxiao spoke.
Levi frowned and felt disgusted at her analysis. He wanted to ask these lowly natives for help? What a joke! It's obvious that you natives got a great bargain, okay? Don't be so ungrateful!
