Chapter 67 The Provocation Arrives
Chapter 67 The Provocation Arrives
After Mo Ze left, Lin Shushu was bored, so she went to browse the StarNet.
She remembered that Lin Keke said in her apology statement that she wanted to consult her, which meant that she might already be plotting something against her.
Sure enough, as soon as Lin Shushu went online, she received a push notification about Lin Keke's live stream.
To learn more about Lin Keke, Lin Shushu followed her during her last live stream.
Upon entering the live stream, the comments on the public screen were all words of comfort for Lin Keke.
"Coco Goddess, you're finally live streaming again! I was so worried that you were still upset about what happened last time."
"Yes, thankfully our goddess has a strong mentality. If it were someone else, they might still be crying in secret right now!"
"Our goddess Coco didn't do it on purpose; it was just a mistake during the research process."
"The goddess is an honest girl who admits her mistakes and corrects them; she won't shy away from her errors."
"How can anyone not love such a goddess!"
"Today is another day I like my goddess even more!"
……
Seeing the supportive comments, Lin Keke was overjoyed, but she maintained a humble expression on her face.
"Thank you all for your support and love. I'm actually not that great. If it weren't for your support, I might have completely faded from everyone's sight."
After saying this, Lin Keke's eyes reddened, looking both touched and aggrieved. This expression drew another wave of comfort.
"Goddess, please don't leave! I can't even enjoy my food if I can't see you."
"That's right, we also want to learn about ancient culture from the goddess."
"By the way, does anyone know who this 'exposé expert' who questioned the goddess is?"
"I'd like to know too, but he hasn't shown up since he posted that article. I guess he's feeling guilty and is hiding!"
"Do you think he might be hiding in the live stream room, just without using that identity?"
Lin Keke happened to see this sentence, and she immediately remembered that during the last live broadcast, someone also made a question about her. Was that person the "debunking expert"?
It's a pity I didn't pay attention last time, otherwise I might have been able to find out his identity by now, and I wouldn't have to lure him out now.
Lin Shushu, who was considered to be "guilty-minded," also saw these comments, and she was immediately furious.
Why is she acting guilty? She's just asking questions openly and honestly.
Although she was furious, Lin Shushu wasn't foolish enough to admit in the live stream that she was the "fake-debunking expert."
It wasn't that she was afraid of these people, but rather that Lin Keke's brainless fans were irrational. There's a saying, "It's better to argue with a wise man than with a fool."
If she revealed her identity, she'd probably be drowned in spittle. She'd better just stay put for now and see how Lin Keke would deal with her.
With a 90% certainty that the "anti-counterfeiting expert" was in her live stream, Lin Keke immediately adopted a humble and submissive demeanor.
"Please don't call him a 'fake news expert.' He has really given me a lot of inspiration. I want to thank him and learn from him."
This statement made her fans feel even more sorry for her.
"How can our goddess Coco be so kind-hearted? Someone hurts you, and you still thank them."
"'Expert on exposing counterfeits,' did you hear that? You hurt such a kind goddess. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
……
Lin Shushu, who was watching others criticize her, wanted to say, "Not only will my conscience not hurt, but if it could cause more harm to Lin Keke, I would just laugh it off."
Once the fans had finished their tirade, Lin Keke stopped them from continuing.
"Okay, everyone, stop spamming the comments, I can't keep up with it all." She gently advised her fans, then said respectfully, "Speaking of which, I actually have something I'd like to ask the 'fake-debunking expert' today."
She paused for a moment, checked the public chat messages, and found no suspicious people before continuing.
“I once saw two characters in an ancient book, ‘对弈’ (dui yi). I searched a lot of information but still didn’t know what they meant. I asked my teacher, but he didn’t know either.”
Lin Keke looked at the camera and said earnestly, "From what happened last time, I discovered that the 'anti-counterfeiting expert' has a very deep knowledge of ancient culture. I believe you can definitely answer my questions, right?"
The live stream was quiet for a moment, then the chat became lively.
"Coco is indeed very knowledgeable; I didn't even know these two words existed."
"Hey 'exploiter,' come out here! You think you're so great? Explain yourself! Our goddess Coco is waiting!"
"He probably doesn't know either, maybe he's trembling with fear right now, hahaha!!"
"Don't say that. She's even more amazing than a goddess, how could she not know? Let's just wait and see, hopefully we won't have to wait forever, haha!!!"
"They haven't responded for so long, they might have already run away in disgrace. Coco, you shouldn't have too high hopes."
"What a pity! I thought I could learn some knowledge that no one else knew from this 'anti-counterfeiting expert,' but I didn't expect to disappoint everyone!"
With no response for a long time, Lin Keke secretly felt smug.
These were words from an ancient book fragment she had only recently acquired. She had specifically searched through many sources but found no relevant records. She had also consulted her teacher, but he couldn't find the source either. She refused to believe that this so-called "anti-counterfeiting expert" could know the answer.
"It seems the 'anti-counterfeiting expert' really isn't in the live stream. That's such a shame. I wanted to learn from him," Lin Keke said with a hint of disappointment.
The people in the live stream immediately objected and instructed others to comfort her.
"Don't be disappointed, Goddess Coco. Even if he's not here, we can still call out for him on the StarNet and we'll definitely be able to find him."
"Exactly. If he doesn't dare to come out, it means he's not as knowledgeable as he claims. He's just trying to attract attention and climb over our goddess Coco to get ahead."
"That's right, let's all work together to find this person. We can't let our goddess Coco suffer in vain."
Having achieved her goal, Lin Keke revealed a genuine smile. She promptly changed the subject and continued chatting with the people in the live stream, but inwardly she was anticipating the direction of the online discussion. She had said she would make this person experience what she had gone through.
Sure enough, after the live stream ended, Lin Keke's fans posted on the StarNet forum, all with titles about "exploiting counterfeits".
The comments were filled with harsh words such as "avoiding contact," "feeling guilty," "seeking fame and fortune," "climbing the ladder by stepping on others," and "all show and no substance," and quickly became a trending topic.
The Lin Keke incident is still fresh in the minds of netizens, who are also familiar with the "anti-counterfeiting expert." They are now all paying attention to the trending topics and looking forward to further developments.
