Chapter 75: Chapter 75: The Big V Who Deletes Videos

Since you could serve as bait and take care of that giant python, but you chose not to.

Doesn’t that make you just a bystander enjoying the show, watching the fire from across the river?

Since everyone is using this incident to stand on the moral high ground to blame Ye Chen, then Ye Chen can also stand on the moral high ground and blame you.

Thinking of this, Cui Ruogou’s face turned steel blue with anger.

This Ye Chen, he’s really damn good at playing the game!

After all, he had previously questioned Ye Chen’s so-called "Mystical Fishing" method in food.

He never expected that Ye Chen would turn around and use this "Mystical Fishing" to select bait for python-fishing...

Since it’s Mysticism, then anyone could possibly be picked as the bait.

In other words, Ye Chen is using this method to settle personal scores.

If someone really gets hung on the fishhook and is dangled around the artificial lake a few times, it’s fine if the giant python doesn’t show up.

But if the giant python is really lured out, who wouldn’t be scared peeless?

Those keyboard warriors on the internet sure wouldn’t have the guts.

They act this way, probably because they’re worried that Ye Chen might pick them.

And this is also one reason why Cui Ruogou feels that Ye Chen is so cunning.

As long as Ye Chen doesn’t announce that "lucky fan," his supporters will have sleepless nights, everyone afraid of being chosen.

At the moment, the best solution is to delete one’s comment.

This is also one of the reasons why the supportive comments under Cui Ruogou’s video are getting fewer and fewer.

Thinking of this, Cui Ruogou refreshed the comments section again.

Ten thousand and fifty-three comments!

Over five hundred less than before!

Another point worth mentioning is that, in the end, most likely a large portion of the fans supporting Cui Ruogou will delete their comments.

Because as people get fewer and fewer, the probability of being picked by Ye Chen also gets greater!

Thinking up to this point, Cui Ruogou couldn’t help but take a sharp intake of breath.

Ye Chen’s plan, it’s really vicious!

The next second, Cui Ruogou’s mouth twitched fiercely.

If...

All these fans delete their comments from the comment section.

Then in the end, wouldn’t it just leave me as the "lucky audience"?

Damn it!

Cui Ruogou slapped his forehead, clearing this highly unlikely thought from his mind.

Let’s not even talk about whether the higher-ups in Jiang City would agree to this, even if I really have to serve as Ye Chen’s bait for fishing the giant python.

What about it, as a man, what’s the big deal about being bait once?

He really didn’t believe this - was Ye Chen going to attract that giant python by using him?

Besides, this is just the worst outcome Cui Ruogou could think of.

He did not believe that Ye Chen would do something so drastic.

If he really becomes the bait for python-fishing, it’s very likely to be life-threatening!

Taking a deep breath, Cui Ruogou tried to calm his emotions.

He opened the article he had just published, and it faced the same situation as the video.

The number of comments was gradually decreasing, and so was the number of his followers.

Moreover, because he had stopped his employees from deleting comments,

now when you look at the comment section, it’s all insults towards him, and most people are supporting Ye Chen.

The original author’s comment area is a mess, and those who forwarded the post are suffering collateral damage.

Some self-media studios and influential Weibo users who had previously shared Cui Ruogou’s videos and articles, they all deleted their shared content.

As to why, Cui Ruogou knew perfectly well.

These people had a large following, making them bigger targets; in other words, more likely to become Ye Chen’s "lucky audience".

But Cui Ruogou was reluctant to give up and immediately took out his phone to call an influencer with two million followers.

This influencer had previously helped Cui Ruogou share the video, and they were the one who asked for the highest price.

After the call connected, Cui Ruogou said: "Uhm... Mr. Meng, why did you delete that video you promised to share for me?"

"I gave you fifty thousand for promotion, did something go wrong on your end?"

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Meng was instantly furious, and said in a bad temper: "You still have the nerve to ask, did you see the video that Ye Chen posted?"

Despite being an influencer with a million followers, Cui Ruogou meekly said: "I... I saw it, but I didn’t watch the whole thing."

"Damn it, do you realize, I’ve been chosen by Ye Chen to be bait for fishing the giant python!"

"If I don’t delete the shared video, what, you want me to really be bait and feed the python?"

"What? You were chosen?" cried Cui Ruogou in shock.

"What did you think?" Mr. Meng was extremely annoyed and also panicked, "In the video, Ye Chen said he would select a group of people, and finally use some BS Mystical calculation based on birthday characters to determine who’s best suited to fish the python with him."

"Damn straight, it sounds nice, doesn’t it, ’to go fishing for the python with him’? Isn’t it just being hung on the rod as bait to catch the python?"

Now Cui Ruogou was left feeling somewhat helpless, he chuckled and continued, "Heh, Mr. Meng, think about it, with so many people, how could Ye Chen really choose you as bait?"

"Besides, even if he chooses you as bait, do you think the Jiang City authorities would let Ye Chen do as he pleases?"

"Professional salvage teams haven’t caught the giant python, would they let a fraud like Ye Chen mess around there?"

"I think he’s just trying to scare you, flexing muscles..."

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Meng sounded obviously impatient, "Fuck off, what if it’s true?"

"Once Ye Chen publishes the list, do you think you can still handle it?"

"How you spoke about him, standing on the moral high ground criticizing him?"

"You also said ’with great power comes great responsibility’, my foot!"

"What if Ye Chen does some Mystical practice at the artificial lake and then calculates that your birth characters make you the perfect bait for the python?"

"Won’t you go?"

"If you don’t go, won’t these brainless netizens curse your ancestors’ graves to smoke on the internet?"

"I rely on my fans to make a living! No need to say more, I won’t pursue the trouble you’ve caused me, that’s all for now!"

Hearing this, Cui Ruogou just couldn’t hold back.

"What?"

"Meng Ping, what do you mean by this, isn’t this too uncool?"

"You took the money for promotion, and you just delete the video like that?"

"OKOK, you removed the video, you have to refund the promotion fee, right?"

Meng Ping, the influencer referred to, paused at this point and then sneered: "Heh, refund?"

"I spared you from claiming damages for mental distress, consider yourself lucky!"
