The Genius System Without Equal

Chapter 254: Surging Points

No matter how calm Xiao Luo was, he was infuriated to some point. He sneered as he signed into his previous Weibo account with the ID name “San Qian Luo Shui.” He replied to his wall post, [Jia Zhengyi, have you come to Jiangcheng to investigate the matter yourself? What do you even know about Mr. Xu? Are you certain that Luo’s Workshop’s current boss is a nouveau riche? If you haven’t got anything investigated, as a public figure, you shouldn’t be misleading people!]

If Jia Zhengyi wasn’t far away in Xiahai, with his temper, he would not be arguing with him online. Toward this talk show host, who split dirty water at Luo’s Workshop to maintain his popularity, he would’ve gone straight to his doorsteps to teach him a lesson.

However, within five minutes after he posted his comment, he promptly received thousands of replies from the netizens.

[Oh? Where did this lapdog come from? Has Luo’s Workshop paid you to talk in their defense?]

[His ID was registered three years ago, and he hasn’t been posting nor commenting all the while. He was obviously hired by Luo’s Workshop to have come out at this point.]

[Uncivilized swine. Are you even worthy of calling Mr. Jia by his full name? Has your mom not taught you to be courteous to your elders?]

All of them were criticizing replies. Their profile pictures were nothing but the mainstream. Even their names were made up of a bunch of weird symbols. Xiao Luo faintly smiled. He had long heard that the internet was full of keyboard warriors. Now, he finally got a taste of it. They blindly followed the trend without getting to the bottom of things, and they amused themselves by insulting the others. This was truly pathetic.

To be frank, this had instantly calmed him down. He even wanted to laugh. He didn’t know what was wrong with this society. Have their nine years of compulsory education all gone to waste?

[Ding! Congratulations! You’ve earned 23,000 points!]

The system prompt sounded in his mind.

Xiao Luo was slightly startled. Initially, he only had a few thousand points left. Now, he was suddenly given 23,000 points. He quickly realized what was going on. He must have earned those points because he commented on Jia Zhengyi’s post and was attacked by the netizens.

Is this even a thing?

This was entirely out of his expectations. He carefully recalled what the system said about earning points. For any host-induced surprise, incitement, shock, anger, or other human emotional reactions, the system automatically absorbed and classified them and, according to their intensity, converted them into corresponding integral values.

His phone suddenly buzzed from a message prompt. Someone replied to him again.

When he tapped on the notification, he couldn’t help but be surprised. The person who replied to him was the talk show host, Jia Zhengyi.

[As the netizens have asked, who are you? And, why have you stood up in defense of Luo’s Workshop? Didn’t you see that lengthy post made my Mr. Xu of Luo’s Workshop? He stated very clearly that to have a valid excuse to dismiss him, Luo’s Workshop’s boss, a nouveau riche, slandered him about having an affair with a female colleague and embezzling the company’s taxes. He is the company’s veteran, a person who dedicated more than 10 years of his life to the company. If it wasn’t that he had given up in despair, why would he post a thousand-word article to criticize his old company?]

Xiao Luo instantly replied, [I’m still asking the same question. Have you personally been to Jiangcheng to investigate the topic?]

With a bulged attitude, Jia Zhengyi replied, [Of course, my team has investigated and confirmed the authenticity of the lengthy article posted by Mr. Xu.]

[Since you have investigated, you should know the name of Luo’s Workshop’s current boss, right? What is his name? From what background does he actually come from to deserve to be called a ‘nouveau riche’ by you?] Xiao Luo chillingly replied.

However, Jia Zhengyi instantly shifted the conversation topic. [You must be Luo’s Workshop’s nouveau riche, am I right? Otherwise, why would you be supporting that garbage company?]

[Garbage company? Do you actually feel that your talk show is really classy? In my knowledge, what your show likes the most is to gossip about the scandals of some celebrities. Your show even roasts about things such as a celebrity’s attire. Don’t you think that your show is extremely boring and a complete jerkoff?] Xiao Luo replied.

Jia Zhengyi used the most contemptible and disdainful reply on the internet. [Huh huh…]

“What the freak? Why the heck are you arguing with that bastard?”

When Zhang Dashan discovered what Xiao Luo was doing, he was startled. He had just told Feng Wuhen and the rest of them to learn to be calm like Xiao Luo. No one expected that Xiao Luo would be the least calm person and had logged into his Weibo account to openly confront Jia Zhengyi. Amidst the swarm of hate comments, that comment was like a clear stream echoing within the comments section.

Xiao Luo smirked and said nothing.

“What the heck bro? How can you still laugh? What’s going on here?”

Zhang Dashan was confused. This didn’t match Xiao Luo’s usual style at all.

Feng Wuhen and the others looked at each other. They were puzzled by Xiao Luo’s actions.

“I realized that it is quite interesting to debate with Jia Zhengyi.”

Xiao Luo raised his head, grabbed his tea from the table, and took a sip. Most certainly, he wasn’t implying that arguing with Jia Zhengyi was interesting. He was referring to his system points, which were surging at unbelievable speeds. It was still at over 20,000 points earlier on. Now, it had soared to 40,000. How could this not make him feel happy?

Another few thousand comments cropped up underneath the argument he was having with Jia Zhengyi.

[San Qian Luo Shui? What a dumb ass name.]

[Mr. Jia’s talk show is the most interesting program I’ve ever seen. Apologize to Mr. Jia at once.]

[This must be Luo’s Workshop’s boss’s account. He’s defending Luo’s Workshop while everybody else is scolding them. What a lapdog.]

[Don’t insult dogs. He’s just a pile of dog poop, barking around to gain favor from his master.]

[This guy has no personal values at all!]

[My heart is at ease seeing so many people thrashing at you.]

Jia Zhengyi’s fans were constantly bombarding Xiao Luo. Some even went to follow Xiao Luo’s Weibo and left some comments. [Do you know why I followed you? It makes it easier for me to flame you!]

[When everyone is against you, you should reflect on yourself @San Qian Luo Shui!]

Jia Zhengyi specifically mentioned Xiao Luo, leaving a reply as if he was a saint.

“F*ck, I really wanna f*ckin choke that bastard right now!”

Zhang Dashan gritted his teeth in anger. He had watched that talk show before, and he considered himself half a fan of Jia Zhengyi. However, Jia Zhengyi had sided with Xu Guansong without doing any investigation, slandered Luo’s Workshop just to maintain his popularity, and even incited verbal warfare on the internet. He was a stark-naked despicable, shameless, and selfish man,

“It is not worth to be triggered by this. When Xu Guansong’s final sentence is published online, all the gossips and rumors will vanish.”

“Bro, you sure are acting calm, but you wouldn’t be arguing with him if you were truly calm.”

“I have my reasons to argue with him. You people shouldn’t be worried about this issue. Luo’s Workshop’s reputation will not be affected. On the contrary, after this incident has passed, I bet only a few across the entire nation will be unfamiliar with Luo’s Workshop.”

Xiao Luo smiled gently. This really wasn’t a bad thing. From the looks of it, Jia Zhengyi seemed to be defaming Luo’s Workshop. When Xu Guansong’s sentence was published, everything would move downwind on the side of Luo’s Workshop. So to speak, this was actually a wave of free advertisement.
