Chapter 176 The Transmigrated Boy Used as Cannon Fodder (Part Two & Three) Well…
Just as Lin You and Mo Kaiyang were discussing the differences between swords used by boys and girls, a crisp system notification sounded, and Mo Kaiyang's cheat shop was updated again.
Quite coincidentally, this update features swords—some are light and agile, others are heavy and heavy, some are made of hard materials, and others are as supple as if boneless. There are many different kinds, and each one looks like a top-quality sword.
Mo Kaiyang remained silent for a while before finally speaking up: "Isn't this a bit too blatant?"
Lin You coughed lightly and didn't explain anything further. Things had come to this point, and she didn't know how to smooth things over for these people.
Mo Kaiyang realized that the person behind all this meant no harm, so he complained to Lin You and then ignored it.
But the group on the forum wasn't happy about it. Even though they were the ones who broke the rules, how could Little War God not protect his own interests!
This is an invasion of privacy; he should file a complaint!
Then, Mo Kaiyang received a long-overdue instruction manual for the cheat code.
The first page of the instruction manual outlines the complaint standards and methods for protecting personal privacy and interests. The font is bolded and highlighted to make the key points immediately clear.
Mo Kaiyang tentatively asked Lin You, "What will happen if there's this kind of complaint?"
The only way to file a complaint with the task recipient is through the trial version of the cheat system. Lin You doesn't know what kind of punishment will be incurred.
"I haven't filed a complaint, nor have I received any complaints. I don't know the specifics, but the consequences should be quite serious. Anyway, when this happened in the last world, the other party seemed quite scared."
Otherwise, A Piao, the creator of the cheat system, wouldn't have been tricked by Song Yu so many times.
Apiao, who had come specifically to join in the fun after hearing that there was something interesting to do here, was immediately unhappy after hearing Lin You's words.
He had just submitted his application for a full-time position and happened to be slacking off at work. If he wasn't worried about affecting his job transfer, he wouldn't have been afraid of being complained about.
I only said two wrong things. At most, I'll get a verbal reprimand, write a self-criticism, and be fined 20 points.
And you haven't even filed a complaint yet, but you've already filed a complaint that got Tiandao locked up in a dark room!
"Why would I be scared? I haven't broken any rules, I'm just afraid of trouble!" the ghost immediately retorted.
After saying that, he realized he was being a bit too forceful, so he added, "After a complaint is filed, the monitoring system will check the details and then punish you according to the rules. What you did constitutes an invasion of the host's privacy. There are so many people involved. If a complaint is filed, you will receive a large sum of compensation."
This isn't just one or two people, but dozens. If each person is fined 100, that adds up to several thousand points.
Mo Kaiyang frowned: "Are there two people behind this cheat system? Or are they people who can't stand each other?"
Otherwise, why would they encourage him to file a complaint?
"Well, they're probably some people who can't stand that you don't fight for your own interests." Since it's already been exposed, Lin You felt there was no need for her to help cover it up anymore, after all, she wasn't good at lying to begin with.
Finally, thanks to the ghost's reminder, Lin You and Mo Kaiyang saw at the very bottom of the instructions for the cheat system, where a line of small print read:
This cheat code has a live streaming function, which is enabled by default. To disable it, please do so on the cheat code page.
Mo Kaiyang: ………！
Suddenly, I felt a strange sense of shame!
Although the details stated that his private matters would not be broadcast live, his cross-dressing was seen by many people!
Even though he has cosplayed female characters quite a few times in modern times, this is really due to the circumstances. He is not a cross-dressing master!
Lin You stared at Mo Kaiyang for a moment, then quickly darted into the house. When he reappeared, he had returned to his handsome and dashing appearance.
After changing his clothes, he finally had the time and inclination to figure out what the live stream page was all about.
The live stream icon was hidden very well, clearly intentionally concealed. Mo Kaiyang searched for quite a while according to the instructions before finally finding the icon hidden in the corner of the product.
Upon opening the live stream page, before even having a chance to see the content clearly, a barrage of comments flooded in, all instructing Mo Kaiyang on how to file a complaint to obtain the maximum compensation.
Mo Kaiyang couldn't help but rub his forehead, as if they weren't the ones being complained about.
[Don't worry about filing a complaint, we have the money to pay the fine.]
[Little War God, don't be angry, don't close the live stream!]
We just want to see you doing well.
[Little God of War, please open the donation channel! The special effects in our live stream are amazing!]
…………
The comments kept scrolling by, and Mo Kaiyang roughly understood why they wanted him to file a complaint.
Are these guys afraid he'll shut down his livestream and trying to bribe him?
But after searching around, he couldn't find anywhere to turn off the live stream; at most, he could adjust the angle and duration of the stream.
Seemingly realizing what he was looking for, the chat in the live stream started flooding with reminders again.
Please don't close the live stream, okay? You need to uninstall the cheat software to play.
Please don't close the live stream, or you could ask the creator to change the settings.
[Please don't close the live stream, okay? If it really doesn't work, let Little God of War complain, and we can give you a new cheat code.]
…………
Mo Kaiyang was speechless again. In the end, he did not complain to anyone, nor did he shut down the live broadcast room. He simply increased the shooting angle and shortened the live broadcast time each day.
I also adjusted the rules for the live stream's chat, limiting each person to a maximum of three comments per day, to prevent these guys from posting any more bizarre comments.
Because Mo Kaiyang discovered what was happening in the live stream, these people had already sent more than thirty comments, and were immediately banned.
This also meant that none of the people who wanted to tell Mo Kaiyang about the forum incident were able to send out the message.
Mo Kaiyang shut down the live stream to avoid seeing it and getting annoyed, unaware that the number of posts on a certain forum was decreasing at a visible rate.
In just half an hour, tens of thousands of posts were deleted, leaving only a few hundred, each of which looked so warm and harmonious.
The posts that were originally eager to see Mo Kaiyang in women's clothing, screenshots of various pictures of Mo Kaiyang in women's clothing, and some strange emojis have all been deleted.
New posts were published one after another, praising the Little War God for being beautiful, kind-hearted, extraordinary, well-rounded, and benevolent. Soon, the number of posts on the forum exceeded a thousand again.
Some people who knew the truth and came to watch out of boredom were full of admiration. These people were all water kings who could do the work of ten people. Dozens of people made hundreds of people's comments. No wonder they would switch careers to become creators just to follow their idols.
In the martial arts world, the reputation of the Silent Forest and the Mingxin Sect gradually spread, and more and more people came to this small town to check the situation, but there were very few martial arts practitioners who dared to enter the forest with weapons.
Whose weapon isn't a treasure? Some even say that as long as the sword is there, the person is there; if the sword breaks, the person dies. A personal weapon is practically a lifeline.
Among those who were knocked out, there were several who were quite influential figures in the martial arts world, yet they were utterly powerless to fight back. Only the world's number one swordsman, Yan Junke, could defeat this mysterious woman.
Mo Kaiyang didn't make another move. He even left the clothes and sword to Granny Mingyue. Xiao Hu's gift to him included a sword that looked extraordinary, as well as the martial arts manuals that Mo Kaiyang had learned in the cave.
The other children didn't have much talent in martial arts, so Lin You left them some recipes for snacks, treats, and medicines. Once they learned them, it would be a way for them to make a living.
Mo Kaiyang kept all the money from selling the items in the formation, and then said goodbye and left with Lin You.
That's all the help the two of them can offer. As for their future life in the valley, they'll have to rely on their own efforts.
Mo Kaiyang and Lin You hadn't planned to leave so soon. The weather was getting colder and colder, and there was already snow on the road. Even with talismans, traveling wouldn't be easy.
The valley has a nice environment, and the big tiger has become familiar with them; it's especially warm to hug.
They originally planned to stay for a few months until spring arrived, but then they discovered a shocking secret.
The waiter's listening device was stuck to the back of his collar. It was a small thing and not worth much. Lin You had hoarded quite a few, and she hadn't thought about asking Mo Kaiyang to help her recycle them.
Anyway, on the way back, they overheard all the gossip. Perhaps the waiter was also intentionally gathering information, always running into crowds. Mo Kaiyang didn't need to go out to know how far his reputation had gone.
Lin You thought that since he was covered in dirt, he would wash up and change clothes when he got back, and that the bugging device would be useless if it got wet. If Lin You hadn't wanted to hear if there was any new gossip, she would have already turned off the receiver.
To everyone's surprise, this guy didn't go back to the inn at all, but instead went to his other master's place.
This master was more composed than the one called "sir." After listening to the waiter's long report, he simply gave a faint "hmm," his voice revealing neither joy nor anger.
It's indeed difficult to gather information from someone who doesn't like to talk. It wasn't until the waiter remained silent for a long time that the man said indifferently, "You're quite considerate. When I return, I will allow you to serve me personally."
The moment the word "朕" (zhen, meaning "I" or "the emperor") was uttered, Lin You and Mo Kaiyang were both startled. Only the emperor could utter such a word. Even if Wan Jun were the emperor, he wouldn't have the time to come to this remote and secluded place.
The only person in history who would use that title was the last emperor of the Si Dynasty, who secretly fled.
Historically, this person escaped more than a year later, so it's unexpected that Wan Jun acted so swiftly this time.
But it's not appropriate to let this person cause trouble outside. What if this leads to a deviation from the course of history? Compared to the current state of misery in the Si Dynasty, the most prosperous Wan Dynasty in history would certainly be better.
As for who is the legitimate royal family and who is a rebel, in the history that Mo Kaiyang knows, Wanchao records the legitimate royal family.
Lin You and Mo Kaiyang didn't delay and went straight to catch the waiter. But before they could even ask him a question or say anything threatening, he had already spilled everything like beans from a bamboo tube.
He was originally the adopted son of the emperor's chief eunuch. Of course, his adoptive father had many adopted sons, probably more than eighty in total, and he was at the bottom of the list.
When I was a child, I was kept in a courtyard and raised with plenty of food and clothing. Someone taught me manners and skills, and by the time I was fifteen, I was ready to be bossed around.
The outstanding few were brought into the palace by their godfather to work as assistants, while the rest were scattered, some becoming farmers and others becoming street vendors.
Despite his inconspicuous position, he was able to gather a lot of information, both from the martial arts world and the imperial court. As the lowest-ranking person, he was assigned to this godforsaken place to monitor the Mingxin Sect.
The waiter was actually quite fortunate. Although he was at the bottom of the list and didn't receive any rewards, he was at least a decent human being. There were many people from the martial arts world here, so he didn't have to serve them too meticulously. He could send a letter to his superiors once or twice a year and receive a hundred or eighty taels of silver as an allowance, so he lived a pretty comfortable life.
Later, he met a man who claimed to know about the Mingxin School. He learned a lot about the Mingxin School from him, who said that it was just a group of women with little ability who had managed to hide until now by taking advantage of the terrain.
The waiter sighed as he finished speaking: "I shouldn't have been greedy for that reward and reported it. Otherwise, the emperor wouldn't have come to my place."
Deep in the mountains and forests, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and also the home of a martial arts sect, no one could have imagined that an emperor would come here. What a perfect hiding place! It's a pity he wasn't so lucky.
The tone of his voice carried a hint of schadenfreude.
Having met so many江湖人 (jianghu people, people from all walks of life) at the inn, the waiter knew that these people had always looked down on the imperial court, so he spoke without any restraint.
"A stray dog who ran away with his tail between his legs, and you expect me to serve him personally? Bah! I'm here to get married and have kids. Are you two heroes here to uphold justice? I know where that dog emperor is hiding. I'll take you there right now."
The waiter clearly loathed being a eunuch; even though it was the treatment he received as a top student, he didn't think it was a good thing at all.
No normal man would think this is a good thing.
Lin You and Mo Kaiyang also couldn't understand the emperor's thought process, but if he were mentally sound, he probably wouldn't have ruined the country like this.
