He simply switched to the background, below the chapter "The Fox Fairy's Medicine".
The author's note, pinned at the top, consists of only four characters:
[This serves as a warning to the world.]
After sending the message, I turned off my computer and went to sleep.
...
The next day, public opinion reached its peak.
Bige Chinese website strikes while the iron is hot.
The homepage prominently features the latest chapter of "Baidu Convenience Store," with the tagline:
"Use warmth to soothe pain, and refuse to exploit suffering."
In the article, the girl who fell from the building is transformed into a misguided angel.
The convenience store owner comforted her with gentle words.
Although the girl died in the end, her soul was purified and transformed into a star hanging in the sky.
Sweet. Too sweet.
It's full of cheap self-pity.
But it did work.
Many netizens, incited by marketing accounts, flocked to Hongguo.com.
It dragged the rating of "The Ferryman" from 9.9 to 9.4.
Long break between classes.
The topic of discussion among all the students in the school was surprisingly consistent.
"Have you checked your phone? The internet is in an uproar! Everyone's cursing the dream weaver!"
"What are you cursing about?"
"Call him heartless! Say he's profiting off human suffering!"
"I saw it too. Although that chapter was quite scary, I think it was well written!"
Are keyboard warriors these days out of their minds?
Outside the classroom of Grade 11 (3), a group of people were gathered together.
"I think the Dream Weaver is going to suffer a setback this time."
"Yes, after all, the power of public opinion is too strong!"
"Brother Que, what do you think of this incident?"
Lin Que, who had just finished using the restroom, was stopped by a group of classmates. Wu Di asked in a loud voice.
The others looked at Lin Que in response to Wu Di's words.
What do you think?
Lin Que didn't reply, but simply looked away from the exercise book and glanced at Wu Di.
"You also think that's profiting from human suffering?"
Wu Di paused for a moment, scratched his head, and a rare seriousness appeared on his face:
"Steamed bun my foot!"
Although the online criticism was fierce, I was genuinely terrified when I watched it last night.
I always thought online lending was something far removed from my life.
But after reading that chapter, it was the first time I really thought that thing could eat people.
Wu Di paused, then lowered his voice and said:
"And I heard from girls in the next class that they originally pooled their money to get some kind of facial slimming injections."
After reading this chapter, everyone was too scared to go today.
"Brother Que, I don't think this book is harmful; it's practically a lifesaver!"
Lin Que smiled.
"That's fine then."
He turned his head and walked back to his seat.
"If even you can see this clearly, then there must be no more wise people left in this world."
Wu Di nodded, but something still felt off.
The reversal of public opinion
Often all that's needed is a clear-headed voice.
Just when Bige.com thought the public opinion had reached its peak,
Just as they were preparing to permanently condemn the "Dream Weaver of Hell" to the pillory of shame.
A long article appeared quietly.
It wasn't posted in the entertainment section.
It was first posted on Zhihu under the topic of criminal investigation, and was subsequently reposted by several official verified accounts.
Poster ID: Heart Towards the World
The authentication information is simple, yet carries immense weight:
