CHAPTER 39: CHAPTER 39 HOW COULD I BE SO LUCKY? [FOUR UPDATES]

He scrolled through his phone for a while, then summoned the system panel again, planning to study the system thoroughly.

The encounter with Sun Chenglin and the others hadn’t triggered a system mission. This indicated that the system’s mission-triggering mechanism was random, and the rewards for completing each mission were likewise random.

So far, he had received four rewards: the first was an advanced vocal disguise skill; the second, a Special Forces physique; the third, 200 luck points; and the fourth, a Grandmaster-level fishing skill, ’Guaranteed Catch’. The rewards were diverse, encompassing all sorts.

This ’Guaranteed Catch’... it shouldn’t be this simple...

Qin Mu took a deep breath. He opened the system panel and started to study the details of this skill.

If it were just a simple fishing skill... it would be too underwhelming.

’Guaranteed Catch’: Activated. Any fishing behavior the Host engages in will entice the target to take the bait.

Fishing behavior?

Seeing these two words, Qin Mu’s expression brightened slightly. He began to think.

If that’s the case... then there are many ways to ’fish’. For example, baiting with comments. I’ll try it out when the opportunity arises.

Qin Mu muttered to himself. If so, then this ’Guaranteed Catch’ isn’t underwhelming at all. If used well against someone who couldn’t be dealt with otherwise, this skill could be god-tier!

「The next day.」

After washing up in the morning, Qin Mu found that the video he had posted the day before had already exceeded 5,000,000 views. Its spread was becoming wider and wider, looking set to break 10,000,000 views. He felt quite pleased.

The only frustrating thing was... his comment section was just too clean. The positive-energy video he posted had thousands of comments below it, all discussing the weather, moods, or even academic topics. There wasn’t a single troll. Although the number of comments was substantial, something felt off.

It wasn’t until that afternoon, while playing chess with Old Zhang, the chess fanatic, that Qin Mu took the opportunity, while Old Zhang was deep in thought, to scroll through other videos again. And indeed... he discovered something amiss.

The platform randomly recommended a video titled, "Shocking! I’ve Discovered Another Identity of a Certain UP!" The video was posted by an account called ’Ma Xiaotiao’ and was also approaching 1,000,000 views.

Upon opening the video, a person with a pixelated face stood before the camera and cut right to the chase, saying, "I believe everyone was attracted by the title. Rest assured, I’m not a clickbaiter!"

"Based on my careful observations, I’ve truly discovered another identity of a certain UP!"

"This is the first video I’ve recorded. I only have one request: don’t just hit the ’like, save, and share’ combo. Please watch the video honestly and, most importantly, don’t spread it."

"Alright, let’s get to the point. I believe everyone knows about the recent incident where a certain UP got several couples and their entire families sent to jail. There was a little interlude where some defiant individual challenged the UP in the comments section and was sent to jail that very same day."

"However... do you all think that this UP only got three groups of people sent to jail within a week?"

"The truth is far more complex than you can imagine!"

Then, Qin Mu saw the UP in the video directly display the video of the phone scam case previously announced by the Yangcheng police.

The corners of Qin Mu’s mouth twitched a few times. This ’Ma Xiaotiao’ UP really is something else, he thought. He even found the video of Old Zhang being scammed.

"Using voice mimicry to reverse-scam the scammers, making them mistakenly believe they were being hunted down, thus prompting them to call the police themselves..."

"All these maneuvers are nothing short of breathtaking!"

"So, this UP has actually gotten rid of not just three groups, but four groups of people!"

"Finally, a reminder to everyone: this is my first video, and I’m not looking for fame. For my own personal safety, I hope you all won’t spread it. Thank you!"

With that, the video ended.

Qin Mu scrolled down and discovered that the comment section of this video, which had just 1,000,000 views... had an astonishing tens of thousands of comments! The number of shares had also reached over seven thousand!

The comment section... had finally become "normal."

"Holy cow! So that UP actually had such a slick move, scaring the scammers into calling the cops on themselves?!"

"Farewell, UP! I’ve already shared it. We’ll organize a group of netizens to visit you in prison!"

"You still dare to visit him? Aren’t you afraid of getting implicated? That UP is seriously not someone to mess with; if something happens, he really will get people sent to jail!"

"Listen to yourselves. That UP isn’t entirely unreasonable. I ran into him on the street last time, just glanced at him, and only got three years in jail."

"That’s nothing! I just forgot to like his last video on extortion, and I’ve already received a lawyer’s letter."

"..."

Seeing these comments, several dark lines appeared on Qin Mu’s forehead. Good heavens, he thought. When did I become so terrifying? A mere glance gets you three years in jail? Forgetting to like a video gets you a lawyer’s letter?

So this is where all these netizens were hiding and making their comments.

However, after watching this video... he gradually understood where this group of joke-cracking netizens had gone. No wonder his own video comment sections were so clean, with everyone discussing the weather, their moods, and academic topics. It turned out that after watching his videos... they all congregated here.

After some thought, he also silently liked the video.

「Yangcheng.」

In an ordinary residential community.

"Damn! That UP liked my video?!"

Ma Ming looked at his computer, his face ashen, his feelings incredibly mixed.

He was a long-time user of a certain video-sharing site. Usually, when online, he would occasionally watch videos of girls singing and dancing, live game streams, classic movies, and the like. But recently... he had started following a UP named Qin Mu.

He discovered that several of this UP’s videos tackled those frustrating situations in life where one often felt helpless, promoting positive energy and resisting moral coercion.

For example, in the first video, several women unscrupulously acted like leeches under the guise of soliciting donations. They were countersued for fraud and taken to court, ultimately receiving a five-year prison sentence and a hefty fine.

In the second video, a troll in the comment section... made their remarks in the morning and was sent to jail by the afternoon. The speed of it left him utterly speechless.

The third video... involved people using public opinion and a child as leverage to extort money. Qin Mu directly offered two hundred thousand. He even said he was prepared to sell his house if it wasn’t enough... and in the end, successfully got them sent to jail.

At the same time, by chance, he recalled a phone scam case that the local Yangcheng police had busted. After careful investigation and comparison, he discovered that Qin Mu was also involved in this incident where the scammer was scared into turning himself in!

Consequently, itching to do something, he used the account ’Ma Xiaotiao’ to publish this video. In the video, for ’safety reasons,’ he had even pixelated his own face and repeatedly urged viewers not to spread it.

However... who could have imagined that these ruthless viewers would share it over seven thousand times, causing his view count to reach 1,000,000 within a single day.

And just moments ago, when he logged into his account dashboard, he inadvertently noticed, among tens of thousands of likes, that an account named ’Qin Mu’ had liked his video. That’s right. Luck was just that peculiar.

He didn’t know how his luck had suddenly become so good that, out of a sea of people, he had managed to spot the like from that UP!

I haven’t done anything wrong, have I? I won’t get sent to jail, will I?

Staring at the computer, Ma Ming was momentarily plunged into deep self-reflection.
