Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Counterattack
The infamously ’ugly’ Jiang Qiuqiu had opened a holographic room and was chatting with Wanxing and ii.
The Academic God was currently a junior in university and would beco a senior by the end of the year. As was customary for the School of Economics and Managent, she was already eligible to look for an internship.
When ii learned of this, she quickly signed Wanxing to Jiang Qiuqiu’s operations team.
Now, with her outstanding operational skills, a sharp eye for talent, and the keen insight befitting an Academic God, she had gradually beco an indispensable mber of Jiang Qiuqiu’s operations team.
The three of them were gathered together. eting for the first ti, Wanxing was stunned when she saw Jiang Qiuqiu.
Jiang Qiuqiu’s lips curled into a smile as she raised her hand. "Xiao Wan, good afternoon."
"...Hello, Qiuqiu."
"What’s the matter? Still haven’t snapped out of it?"
"I didn’t expect Qiuqiu to be this beautiful," Wanxing said honestly.
This made the other two laugh.
"I didn’t expect it either. You have such a pleasant voice, Xiao Wan. And you’re very pretty, too. You’re completely changing my idea of what an Academic God is like."
"I wouldn’t really call myself an Academic God," Wanxing said humbly. "My grades are just a little better than most."
"...Don’t be like that," ii interjected. "If soone in the top 1% says their grades are just ’a little better,’ then how are the rest of us supposed to live?"
"Okay, okay. We’re here today to discuss that water army. We can talk about everything else later. Let’s get down to business."
This was the first ti Jiang Qiuqiu’s livestream had faced a water army attack on such a massive scale. And even though this wave of trolls had, paradoxically, gained her a lot of new followers, they still needed to figure out who was behind it.
"I’ve made a note of all the IDs that left negative comnts. I borrowed so equipnt and software from a classmate in the Star Network Communications departnt to track them."
In an age where terminals and networks were so incredibly advanced, it was almost impossible to hide information completely.
Especially when dealing with soone as ticulous as Wanxing.
"This batch of IDs seems to be dedicated accounts for a water army. They’ve been used in campaigns against many people."
She pulled up a docunt, listing out, one by one, every person they had targeted.
Finding the source of the trolls seed like looking for a needle in a haystack, but in reality—
"This water army is quite large. Sister Mingi, you’ve ntioned their market rates before... A small-ti strear couldn’t possibly afford an army this size."
Therefore, by focusing on the more famous strears in their category, or those with significant backing, they could start to uncover so leads.
"Generally speaking, a person wouldn’t choose to work with an agency that has run a sar campaign against them before."
"Exactly. Combining your analysis, Qiuqiu, with the data from Sister Mingi, I’ve narrowed the suspects down to these four."
The avatars of several prominent strears from the Federation’s Food category were projected into the air.
ii placed an X over the head of one of the won. "It’s probably not her. I know her, and she’s stingy beyond your wildest imagination... There’s no way she would spend so much money on a sar campaign."
That left only three people.
Jiang Qiuqiu’s gaze swept over the three nas: Wang Henli, Chen Jiuwan, and Langlibaitiao.
"Xiao Wan, let
see that strear file again."
"Okay, sending it to you now."
After carefully reviewing the data for more than ten minutes, Jiang Qiuqiu placed an X over the heads of Chen Jiuwan and Langlibaitiao.
She eliminated two people at once, leaving only Wang Henli.
ii shot her a quizzical look, and Jiang Qiuqiu explained, "In this file, there are records of campaigns with sequences and strategies very similar to ours. This agency has used the sa thod to take down several other strears."
"The data shows that this strear, Wang Henli, is from the Federation’s Northern Division Food category. And it just so happens, the other strears who were taken down are from there too."
