Chapter 38: Destroying your own stage?
When Bai Qiuwu said he was curious, he was absolutely sincere.
It would have been fine if she had never eaten this melon, but she had, and it was so unpalatable that she naturally became curious about how such an unpalatable melon could be sold.
As mentioned before, internet celebrities have promoted products, and many people have bought them out of curiosity, but it’s useless. They just buy them once for the novelty of it. There are no regular customers or repeat customers at all.
Moreover, being an internet celebrity and promoting products is not a golden ticket. The traffic will eventually disappear, and then their true colors will be revealed.
Although netizens are often just joining in the fun, it has to be proven that their ideas are very cool, as the saying goes, "brainpooling wisdom brings wisdom together."
But since so many netizens can’t come up with a good solution, it’s normal that Bai Qiuwu can’t think of one, right?
But others found it abnormal.
Just because she was the one who made the promise and said that she could definitely accomplish this.
At least as soon as Bai Qiuwu finished speaking, everyone was shocked.
"Fuck, you don't even know how to accomplish this yourself, how can you help others realize their wishes? Are you admitting you're incompetent?"
[You're such a funny person. Now you're acting like a liar and you don't even try to hide it. Why don't you just pretend and act? You just say you don't know anything so confidently. What do you want? Are you just going to give up?]
[This is hilarious. I promised to help someone realize their wish, but now I don't even know how to do it. Don't you think your words are funny?]
[This is outrageous! You know nothing, and you're expecting God to help you? The case is solved. She's a clown trying to attract attention. Everyone, stop nagging her and report her directly.]
…
The barrage of comments was full of sarcasm and ridicule. Bai Qiuwu watched carefully and was already very familiar with this scene.
She smiled at everyone, not caring about the insults, and said seriously, "I really don't know. I think everyone has some misunderstandings about me."
"I help everyone realize their wishes, but I'm not Santa Claus. I won't drive a sleigh to deliver gifts to you late at night. I won't help you personally. Just think of me as a transit station."
"Make a wish to me, I promise. As long as you are persistent and sincere enough, your wish will definitely come true. As for how and when it will come true, I don't have the final say."
"It depends on the individual. If you've done a lot of good things and have a long-lasting blessing, and you have a strong desire to fulfill your wish, then your wish will come true quickly and effectively."
"But if you have a bad moral character and have committed countless petty thefts and crimes, or even worse, murder and other crimes, your wish will still come true."
"But in the process of achieving it, you will pay for the bad things you have done. Therefore, I only guarantee the outcome, not the process. How the process goes depends entirely on your own blessings and personal morality."
"As for the speed, it all depends on your own obsession. The deeper the obsession, the faster it will be realized. On the contrary, if it is just a casual statement, or if there is no deep hope in your heart, then it will naturally be realized very slowly, or may not be realized at all."
After saying so much in one breath, Bai Qiuwu's expression did not change at all, not even the polite smile on his face.
She looked at the suddenly decreasing comments and gently repeated, "Do you understand what I'm saying?"
[…I seem to understand, but I don’t fully understand. I feel like my brain isn’t enough. No, when did I develop something as advanced as a brain?]
So what you're saying is, if we make a wish for you and it doesn't come true, or if it takes a long time to come true, then it's because we weren't sincere enough? Good boy, you've really got a way of shifting the blame.
This sounds strange. Thinking about it carefully, I thought of a certain celebrity who has gone to hell, and for some reason I felt a little uneasy.
[Wait, you only care about the ending, not the process. What kind of a ridiculous way of making a wish is this? I suddenly remembered how Sister Pa wished to lose a lot of weight, but ended up getting sick and losing all her figure. And that motorcycle wholesaler who wished to find a gentle and good-looking partner, but you ended up assigning him a man...]
[Wow, what you said before is really scary when you think about it. Why does it sound like a kind of wish-making for entertainment?]
Bai Qiuwu had been watching the comments closely, and when he heard everyone talking about this, he nodded with satisfaction.
"That's what everyone thinks. So even though I don't have inside information about the entertainment industry, since Wu Li died while fulfilling his wish, I know that the crime he committed was definitely fatal."
"That's why I asserted that he deserved to die. It's not like everyone thinks I knew the inside story all along."
Taking advantage of this great opportunity, Bai Qiuwu quickly explained: "And the time when I made a wish to get my salary back, it was because I knew I hadn't done anything bad."
"On the contrary, my former company was guilty of a multitude of bad things, so I'm very confident it's definitely not because of a financial backer."
At this point, Bai Qiuwu smiled confidently: "How much would it cost to keep someone as beautiful as me? I don't think anyone in the world can appreciate such a price."
The netizens who were stunned by what she said, when they heard this sudden flattery, all slowly asked a question mark.
For a moment, the screen was filled with question marks.
Of course, there are still some who remain unmoved and just want to dwell on the melon.
"No, after all this talk, aren't you just making excuses for your incompetence?! So just tell me if you can handle this melon!"
"Sure, of course I can." Bai Qiuwu said with great certainty.
That confident look really makes people want to step on her.
But before netizens had the chance to step on it, the netizen who had previously yelled for everyone to pay attention to him suddenly flooded the screen with posts.
[Ahhh, everyone, come watch my livestream! That old lady got scammed! It looks like something big is going to happen!]
Wow, one word caused a huge stir.
At one time, countless people flocked to his live broadcast room. Some of them were reluctant to leave and were struggling when they saw Bai Qiuwu silently picked up the mobile phone beside him, entered the live broadcast room, and split the screen.
Netizens: “?”
Okay, okay, let’s play it this way, ok?
But no one cared for a moment, and everyone was paying attention to the old lady's condition over there.
In the live broadcast of that netizen, one can clearly see an old lady downstairs with her hands on her hips scolding a middle-aged man. The man was originally lying on the ground next to her watermelon cart and was scolded.
He wanted to leave, but the old lady showed amazing toughness and dragged him down, refusing to let him go.
It turned out that this person had just accidentally smashed a few melons.
Netizens immediately became curious and started gossiping.
[Isn't that how it's resolved? In the end, the man buys all the melons, and the old lady's wish comes true?]
[No way, is it really that amazing? Is this man a sucker? He bought all the melons. It's obvious at first glance that this is impossible.]
[Yes, yes, I also think it's impossible. There must be another way to achieve it. This man is a scammer and has no money. He should just buy all the melons. Even if all the melons are sold, it won't be enough to sell well.]
What this netizen said was so fair that a lot of people nodded in agreement. They thought he was really good at complaining and was very suitable to expose a shameless celebrity named Bai. They also decided to give a thumbs up to this rational netizen.
When I clicked the like button and entered the homepage, I found that this person looked really familiar.
I saw that the man's name was: Actor Bai Qiuwu v.
The big V-neck in deep red and gold clearly shows that this person is the real one.
Netizens who saw this scene: "..."
No, this guy is crazy, isn't he? He's destroying his own career?
