Clicking into the trending searches, the first one was a revelation from a marketing account that claimed to be a combination of a tech geek and an e-sports enthusiast. The account listed the evidence of Su Zhuo cheating in the form of a thousand-word essay, and also included several screenshots of the game.
Among them, he thinks the most important are two:
1 is the team that Su Zhuo killed at the beginning. The accompanying picture analysis said that she turned on the perspective, otherwise ordinary people would not notice that there were people here.
2. In the team competition, Su Zhuo faced the firepower suppression of Pu Yaolian and his four teammates. He was unharmed even with low health and killed four opponents.
The marketing account’s final, serious conclusion on Weibo: In conclusion, the possibility that Su Zhuo is cheating is over 95%. Of course, it may also be that I am petty-minded, and she may really be that powerful.
There was a lively discussion in the comment section.
There are some brainless marketing accounts criticizing Su Zhuo.
"I've said before that the fact that Su Zhuo, a pretty girl, could get into this variety show must be a conspiracy. There must be a financial sponsor behind it!"
"They've gone to great lengths to promote this little bastard, using A-list actress Pu Yaolian and three professional esports players as stepping stones. Who wouldn't say, 'Capital is awesome!'"
"This sponsor seems to be a bit mentally unstable. Esports has always been a man's world. There are only a few female professional players in every country. How dare they let Su Zhuo, a mere figurehead, get in on the act? Now he's finally fallen on hard times, which is really satisfying."
"When I watched the variety show, I felt that Su Zhuo was definitely going to fail. It was too fake. Plu, the strongest professional player so far, didn't even have that record. How could Su Zhuo, a woman, achieve that?"
There are also people who have watched Su Zhuo’s live broadcast and have become her fans.
"This analysis makes me laugh. Not to mention whether or not it's cheating. Just to say what bullshit you're talking about. Anyone who's played PUBG knows you can use sound to locate someone in the game. Holographic projection technology maximizes all five senses. How can Su Zhuo detect someone in the bushes? And what's wrong with that? And he can even see through things. See through your mother's watermelon rind."
"I find this analysis too low-brow to be used as toilet paper. Can you please understand the concept of holography before showing off here? Unless Su Zhuo is the daughter of the director of the technical department, this kind of ecological technology is cheating? Haha."
"It's ridiculous. Is it so hard to admit someone else's excellence? Do some fans really think others don't know what your dirty thoughts are?"
"And your second point about how four people in a team match managed to remain unscathed by a siege, so they must be cheating, made me laugh. If you've ever watched a variety show, you wouldn't say such a foolish thing. And the third game, 1v4. Su Zhuo was able to hold his own against a team of sixteen, so why can't he do it with just four?"
The two groups fought and quarreled fiercely.
In addition to this Weibo post, there are many others, almost all of which are posted by marketing accounts with considerable traffic. It is obvious that someone is targeting Su Zhuo.
Not only that, Su Zhuo’s Weibo was occupied by water armies and black fans, and all kinds of vicious speculations were almost suffocating.
Tang Xiaofeng was so angry that he sobered up.
"Damn, this must be someone from the enemy trying to smear you. Let me think about who it could be," she paced, stroking her chin, analyzing and eliminating one by one. "Pei Xinyue shouldn't be it. Although she may not be smart, she's still a decent person.
Feng Ziming is a bit of a possibility. He's always been self-interested and goes on shows for traffic, so you've essentially disrupted his plans. But your fields don't overlap, so the possibility isn't high.
"It can't be Pu Yaolian. Could it be someone else? A die-hard fan of Kong Rong? No, no, no, they don't have that much power!"
"Why couldn't it be Pu Yaolian?" Su Zhuo knew that Pu Yaolian was the one behind the plot, but he was still curious why Tang Xiaofeng was so sure.
"You should know that Pu Yaolian's public persona is gentle and generous, right?" Without waiting for Su Zhuo to nod, Tang Xiaofeng continued, "This isn't just externally, she's also incredibly popular within the industry. Ever since she entered the industry, she's been keen on supporting struggling variety shows and production crews, investing in and helping a lot of people. Later, all of these variety shows and TV series became huge hits without exception. In less than two years, she went from an 18th-tier actress to a first-tier star. Everyone privately thinks she's naturally gifted and wants to build a good relationship with her. She's also incredibly reliable, with absolutely no negative news about her."
At this point, Tang Xiaofeng shrugged, "As you can see, she is the epitome of perfection. It seems like everyone would do something like that, but she can't do it, and there's no need for her to do it."
Su Zhuo raised his eyebrows. Pu Yaolian was hiding it very well.
In fact, from the fact that Zhu Xiangyu deceived her original body, we can see that she is very scheming.
It was obvious that Pu Yaolian was the one who actually stole the original body's property, but there was no evidence pointing to her. Apart from instigating the original body, she did not do any dirty work.
Even the negative information about the original body circulating in the entertainment industry was related to Pu Yaolian, but again, she did not do anything directly. Everything depended on her targets voluntarily helping her solve the obstacles.
Su Zhuo thought of the description in the book.
The heroine reaches the pinnacle of her life by conquering four outstanding male protagonists, a true entertainment industry heroine novel.
Su Zhuo didn't understand what this meant by a story with a strong female lead.
She just wanted to teach this vampire heroine how to be a human being.
You have reached the pinnacle of life by relying on the four standard configurations and you are clean and indifferent to the world, right? Kill them all and see how you can still follow the so-called route of a cool novel with a heroine as the protagonist.
Zhu Xiangyu, one of the four standard male protagonists, has already joined Orange. How far will the other three be?
Recovering from his thoughts, Su Zhuo found Tang Xiaofeng searching for a number on his phone. "What are you looking for?"
"Contact the production team. No matter who's behind this, they can't let you bear the brunt of it all. They have their own reputation to consider. Don't worry, leave it to me. I'm very good at communicating politely."
Just at this moment, the phone was connected. Without waiting for the other party to speak, Tang Xiaofeng started to criticize him.
"Old Wang, what's wrong with your production team? You're letting people online smear our Su Zhuo for cheating, and you're not doing anything? This isn't how you want traffic. If your reputation gets ruined, just wait for it to fail. You don't even look at how much traffic Su Zhuo has brought you, and you haven't reacted at all. What's going on? Are all the people on the 'PUBG' production team blind?"
Su Zhuo: “…”
This kind of communication is indeed very gentle and good.
Wang Lin: “…”
He was blasted with criticism, but he took 30 seconds to sort out the situation and quickly explained, "This trending search is strange. It took less than half an hour from the time it started to go viral. It's obvious that someone is pushing it. It's not that the production team ignored it, but they were in the next meeting and didn't have time to respond."
"Oh, you're preparing for the next episode right after this one ended. I thought you guys weren't going to do the show anymore. If Su Zhuo gets criticized any more, there won't be a next episode, you know?
You don't know if Su Zhuo is cheating, but the technical department can't be unaware, right? Don't tell me that a national department can't even find out this. You and I both know the seriousness of this matter. Following the trend to smear our Su Zhuo may be a small matter, and your program team failing may also be a small matter, but if a national department is smeared, hehe."
Every word Tang Xiaofeng said touched Wang Lin's sore spot, and the cold sneer at the end made his hair stand on end. Without having time to think about how Tang Xiaofeng knew that the technology of the program team came from the country, he hurriedly made an assurance.
"Don't worry, give me ten minutes, not five, and I will definitely give you and Su Zhuo a satisfactory explanation."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Lin hurriedly called the technical department above, explained the situation, and then found his dusty Weibo and started typing with two fingers.
While knocking on him, he was wondering why Tang Xiaofeng was so excited about Su Zhuo's matter. Are these two people on such a good relationship?
————————
Pu Yaolian stared at the trending search online, curling her lips in satisfaction. Then she asked her agent worriedly, "Is the person you found reliable?"
"Don't worry, it's not through us," the agent replied, adding a hint of disapproval. "But if you do this, it might upset the production team of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. After this incident, the variety show might even fail."
"If it's dead, it's dead. There's no point in keeping a variety show that can't bring me traffic." Pu Yaolian said nonchalantly.
The other side.
Zhu family.
Mrs. Zhu was holding a tablet and reading the comments one by one. When she saw someone scolding Su Zhuo, she happily liked the comments. When she saw someone speaking up for Su Zhuo, she immediately became dissatisfied and reported it, even cursing out loud without caring about her ladylike manners.
"You are all sons of bitches for speaking up for Su Zhuo, a bitch."
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door. It was Zhu Xiangyu's father, Zhu Qingshan. He had just returned from the police station and said with a gloomy face:
"The lawyer said the Xiangyu case is difficult to resolve because the amount of money involved is too large, and the sentence is likely to be more than ten years."
"What! I paid the taxes, but I still have to be sentenced?" Madam Zhu gnashed her teeth, full of hatred. "It's all Su Zhuo's fault. I'm going to find more people to slander her and make her lose her reputation."
Zhu Qingshan frowned. "It's useless to find more people to slander her. Just forget it, as long as you're happy." He picked up his clothes and walked out. "I'm going to sleep at the company today."
Mrs. Zhu didn't even raise her head, she was completely immersed in the Internet. She felt happier every time she saw another black fan scolding Su Zhuo, and she looked crazy.
Just then, another piece of news popped up on the tablet.
Mrs. Zhu nodded with a happy smile.
Wang Lin V: "Clarification! Su Zhuo did not cheat in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. This show uses the most advanced technology available today... In conclusion, it is impossible for Su Zhuo to use any so-called cheats."
Our program team will not tolerate accounts that maliciously spread rumors. The lawyer's letter will arrive shortly [Smile]"
"Holy crap! Wang Lin came out to clarify things himself! That's awesome! Are those haters who spread rumors still going to be so angry?"
"The production team did a great job. Some people are just jealous of Su Zhuo's sudden popularity! As for who they are, you know it yourself."
"Wang Lin? He personally used an account that hadn't been used for years to whitewash Su Zhuo. And he even said he had a powerful financial backer behind him?"
"Exactly. It's outrageous that Su Zhuo, an 18th-tier star, can be on this variety show. And now she's outshining everyone else. Why don't we just single her out?"
"I like your comments above. Remember to read your lawyer's letter and don't delete the comments. I've taken a screenshot."
"It's hilarious. Some haters are so brainless. No matter how many times I explain that there's no cheating with holograms, they still have to blame it on some sponsor. You have to throw mud at every girl in the entertainment industry and say she has a sponsor, right?"
Shortly after Wang Lin posted his Weibo post, an official Weibo account reposted it with the caption: "Clean up the internet and stop spreading false information."
Furthermore, a Blue V Weibo account posted a post about the data, providing irrefutable proof that Su Zhuo's data was flawless. The only problem was that the data was simply too good, and the department was studying it repeatedly through the night.
"The 6666 official has taken down the issue. Shouldn't the haters finally believe it now?"
"I don't care about the haters and the online trolls. They'll just troll for money. I don't even know if Su Zhuo has dug up their ancestral graves."
"The person in the front row, Science Popularization Blue V, is incredible. She's the official national account specializing in 5G-related technologies. If he says Su Zhuo is fine, who would dare to criticize her?"
"Am I the only one who saw a tech mogul praising Su Zhuo's excellent data? Su Zhuo's fans feel so proud!"
"I'm so amused. I've seen some marketing accounts frantically deleting their Weibo posts. It feels good to get paid, but it will end up in a funeral."
Seeing the bigwigs from all walks of life defending Su Zhuo, Madam Zhu's face turned ferocious and crazy. "Why does this bitch Su Zhuo have so many people helping her? She's just an orphan and should be a rat in the gutter!"
She took out her cell phone and called the water army company.
"What are you doing? Why is no one continuing to lead the trend? Why are you indifferent when others clarify the situation? Do I give you money just to let you take it for free?"
Water Army Company: "Madam's program team clarified that we can still lead the trend, but look at the account behind us, that's..."
"I don't care who those people are. I'll pay them more, and whoever helps Su Zhuo will be blackmailed together. I'll blackmail them to death, no matter who they are. Do you understand?"
“…”
The boss of the water army company was silent for a while and then decisively hung up the phone.
Is this woman crazy?
That's an official account. Anyone who wants to go against the country is not an idiot.
"Hello!?" Mrs. Zhu didn't expect to be hung up. She was so angry that her face turned blue. After thinking about it, she was unwilling to give up and looked for another place.
As a result, every family who heard her request wanted to carry the train and run away overnight.
Mrs. Zhu was so angry that she went to Weibo and posted a message to diss Su Zhuo and the people who helped her, but no one paid attention to it because it was too obscure.
*****
Tang Xiaofeng heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Wang Lin help clarify the matter. "The production team is quite clear-headed. And after the official intervention, no one should dare to throw dirty water on you. Don't worry."
Su Zhuo looked up and said, "I'm not worried."
"What are you doing?" Tang Xiaofeng noticed that she had been sitting in front of the computer, which was playing a replay of the variety show "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds". "Are you just savoring it yourself? I didn't expect you to be so narcissistic!"
Su Zhuo smiled but didn't reply to her. He just tapped the keyboard with his fingertips, zooming in on the images of Pu Yaolian cheating twice, and pointed out the errors in the data. Tang Xiaofeng was confused.
"What the hell is this?! How come she didn't die after being bombarded twice? Is she cheating?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she was busy denying herself.
"Impossible! Holography is Dragon Country's most advanced technology. How could a female celebrity like Pu Yaolian recognize such a talented hacker? Is this a bug?"
"I guess so."
Su Zhuo did not explain. Longguo's holographic technology is still in its early stages and has many loopholes, but that does not mean they will have such obvious bugs.
But the system issue was too mysterious to explain to Tang Xiaofeng, so he simply handed it over to the Dragon Country officials. As for how to solve it, that was their business.
Su Zhuo pressed the send button, and the video and related data were sent to the official email address.
Tang Xiaofeng watched her movements and asked, "Aren't you planning to post this online to criticize Pu Yaolian?"
"The authorities have just helped me clarify things, it would be bad for me to sabotage them now." Su Zhuo said calmly. As a soldier, the habit of upholding national honor is ingrained in his bones.
Although she is not the original body, she likes Longguo very much and naturally would not do such a backstabbing thing.
"What a pity! If this gets released, Pu Yaolian's fans will probably be devastated." Tang Xiaofeng said.
Su Zhuo: "From your tone before, I thought you liked her very much."
"I'm probably one of the few people in the industry who doesn't like her," Tang Xiaofeng shrugged and said with a wry smile, "I had contracts for two of her popular TV series back then, but then the crew was short on money and one of her investment conditions was that she star in the show herself. Sometimes I think if she hadn't snatched the roles away, I might have been the one who became famous."
"Maybe I'm just comforting myself..."
"If you were to play the role, I think it would be even more popular." Su Zhuo had read the plot in the book and understood that Tang Xiaofeng's opportunity was snatched away by Pu Yaolian.
Tang Xiaofeng tried hard to smile.
"Thank you for comforting me."
Su Zhuo shook his head and said seriously: "Everything I said is true. I hate Pu Yaolian too. She took away a lot of things from me..."
She told some things about her original self.
Tang Xiaofeng's eyes widened slightly.
"Damn it, so she was the one who instigated the loss of your family fortune? No, I think this woman is most likely the mastermind behind this. It's a pity there's no evidence, otherwise she would be imprisoned along with that scumbag Zhu Xiangyu."
"Oh, I'm so angry. This woman is so scheming. We have evidence of her cheating this time, but we can't expose it. I feel so frustrated."
"Don't be upset. Although we can't talk about cheating, we still have this," Su Zhuo played Tang Xiaofeng a video of Pu Yaolian's actions in the game that ruined her character.
"These can make her lose fans for once."
Tang Xiaofeng clapped his hands happily: "Great, send me the video and I'll do the processing. Then you can have a good sleep and wake up tomorrow to see Pu Yaolian's fan loss."
Seeing that she was happy, Su Zhuo curled his lips and packaged the video and sent it to her.
——————
At night, close to 12 am.
A marketing account with over 500,000 followers posted a Weibo post, and the nine-square grid contained a specially made animated image.
The protagonist of the story is the popular first-line actress, Pu Yaolian.
