Jiang Tian, a renowned渣女 (scorned woman/player) in her lifetime with countless boyfriends, was recruited by the Main God after her death to become an invincible host for the Female Lead group.<...
As soon as Jiang Tian went online, many people noticed her immediately.
There's no way around it; Jiang Tian is now a celebrity in the game, and moreover, she really is a celebrity, having amazed everyone. People are constantly clicking on her avatar to see if she's logged into the game.
Players immediately reported the news on the world channel.
[Good Food Spot: Jiang Tian is Online!]
[SanSan Bar: Does anyone understand why I'm still a little nervous? Even though Jiang Shen has been playing this game for several years.]
[Flame Dance, who loves salted egg yolk chicken wings: Me too. Even though we're acquaintances, there's a strange feeling of unfamiliarity about us...]
[Fengxue Cencen: As long as she doesn't quit the game because of her celebrity status, it's fine. Actually, she seems to be doing quite well in the game. She has a spot on the female player leaderboard. When others say that female players can't play games well, we can give her another example.]
………………
Those who are speaking now are people who have never criticized Jiang Tian before, as well as new players who have entered the game. Their relationship with Jiang Tian is relatively simple, consisting of nothing more than curiosity, anticipation, admiration, or simply ignoring her.
After all, no one seriously treats celebrities like gods.
Some people like to join in the fun, while others are not interested in this gossip and are simply playing the game.
However, as a victim of massive cyberbullying, even if these onlookers are not interested in this kind of gossip, they will not feel deep resentment towards Jiang Tian; at most, they will simply ignore her.
The others had more complicated feelings when they saw Jiang Tian online.
Some people genuinely regret their actions; they enjoy being participants in cyberbullying, yet they fear retribution and are tormented by their conscience.
Another group of people still believe that they are not wrong. Why should they be wrong? It's because Jiang Tian didn't explain things to Qin Shaoyou beforehand. Isn't it normal for people to come to each other's door when their feelings are too strong?
As for the cyberbullying she suffered, she deserved it. Why didn't they cyberbully others?
And most importantly—if someone can't handle cyberbullying and chooses to end their life, it only shows that they are very fragile.
In short, a considerable number of people like to shirk responsibility. In their eyes, they are completely blameless, and the ones who are wrong are always those who offend them.
The various reactions of different people throughout the game reflect a certain aspect of human nature.
As soon as Jiang Tian logged into the game, her friend request list was immediately full.
Countless people want to add her as a friend.
Those who had become her friends before either tried to get close to her or acted like timid mutes, afraid that she would find out that they had spoken ill of her.
Without wasting a single word, Jiang Tian bought a megaphone prop and went to the world channel to shout it out.
[Jiang Tian: Does anyone remember the bet from last time? I've already compiled the list. You promised to delete my account if I dared to go to the anniversary celebration. Do you still stand by your word?]
So that's why she went online.
Many people feel that she's being a bit too serious.
As a celebrity, it's only right that she be generous, since she earns her money from the public.
Some people think she is too stingy, while others choose to remain on the sidelines and wait and see.
[Wen Qiqi: I promised, and I will keep my promise. I'll delete the account later.]
One player has spoken out.
[Lin Qingrou, who likes straight-rooted people: I'm also deleting my account, but I still want to ask, has this always been your style? I thought you would let us off the hook. Of course, I'm not saying you're petty or anything, but don't you celebrities all have a celebrity aura? Aren't you afraid of bringing trouble upon yourself?]
Jiang Tian answered her quickly.
[Jiang Tian: In this game, do I have any real fans? I know that many people are actually dissatisfied with me. After that live stream clip was released, even more people probably hate me now. After all, I couldn't withstand your cyberbullying attacks, and I almost took my own life at one point. I'm not the dazzling superstar that others see, nor do I have the strong resilience to withstand such attacks, and I almost made you all criminals. I'm guilty—is that what you think?]
No one dared to speak.
Once the person involved came forward, those with malicious intent suddenly became somewhat timid.
They may be able to meddle in other people's lives from behind a screen, but when they actually face the people involved, how dare they say anything?
Moreover, Jiang Tian has chosen to make a comeback, so she must have powerful backers. They can't go head-to-head with those powerful figures; they are just weak ordinary people.
[Jiang Tian: Let me clarify. I didn't choose to return to the entertainment industry back then; I just wanted to be an ordinary person and live a peaceful life. When the cyberbullying came, I didn't know how to react. I believe few of us here could withstand such overwhelming criticism. I wasn't a celebrity then, and you shouldn't hold me to celebrity standards for forgiveness. Now that I'm a celebrity again, I still won't relinquish or give up even a fraction of my rights. Since I won the bet, I'll delete the accounts that need to be deleted. Why do you think I would endure this for the sake of celebrity status? From the moment I faced a life-or-death situation, I've only lived for myself.]
She made herself very clear, and her tone was even icy.
But they couldn't refute it.
Only the injured party has the privilege of choice; they are merely the party being judged.
However, many people still feel indignant.
[The Unattainable Fantasy: Aren't you worried this will bring you negative publicity? Don't all celebrities have this worry?]
[Jiang Tian: If you knew my past, you probably wouldn't say that. I used to have more haters than you think. I chose to run away before, but now I want to face it head-on. Since I've chosen to face it, then naturally I should settle scores and avenge wrongs. Those who hate me always have their reasons. If I keep worrying, that's just pointless internal conflict. So, delete the accounts that need to be deleted.]
Her tone was so unexpected; many people thought she would use a conciliatory approach, but she stood firm to the end.
Many people found it particularly pointless, and since she was so serious about it, they had no choice but to delete their accounts.
After they finished deleting their accounts, Jiang Tian didn't say anything more.
She was messaging Yi Heng privately.
Yi Heng has been working day and night lately to prepare for the competition, but he doesn't live in the cave; he can access information online.
What's it like to have a celebrity as your in-game partner with whom you formed a romantic relationship?
Yi Heng couldn't explain it.
He knew very well that when he learned that Jiang Tian was a celebrity, when he saw her true face, while he was amazed, a heavy and painful sense of loss welled up in his heart.
He was enveloped by a certain negative emotion.
It turns out she was a celebrity, and she was so beautiful that he felt ashamed of himself in comparison.
