In the current world, many people are caught up in an excited state.
But Guo Yi is probably the most excited of them all.
Because he feels he’s about to go viral.
"Folks, can you see it, right ahead is Star Sea Island, the absolute frontline of debunking Star Sea Company online!" He stood at the front of the yacht, directing the cara towards himself and the island not far away, shouting loudly amidst the sea breeze.
The viewership has already exceeded seven million since the broadcast started, racing towards ten million!
That’s more than ten tis his usual livestream audience!
He’s going viral!
"What, getting slapped in the face? How’s that possible!" Guo Yi was so excited his face turned red, even dancing around, "All the old fans know, Little Yi is a top student studying abroad in the Western Alliance! Besides, the posts I made aren’t rocket science, even a middle schooler can understand! So you all know why I dare to debunk Star Sea, right? It’s simple scientific common sense!"
Imdiately, many old fans started explaining Guo Yi’s background in the comnts.
A top student returning from the Western Alliance, a science popularizer and product promoter.
As for why a top student wouldn’t work at a big company or start a business but beco a strear...
It’s naturally because streaming is lucrative.
Guo Yi’s mind was already fast-forwarding to him debunking Star Sea Company, becoming famous, reaching the pinnacle of life.
This made his voice even more excited.
"I’ve actually thought about why Star Sea Company dares to make sothing so obviously fake, but folks, the reason is quite easy to guess!" Guo Yi waved his arms vigorously and shouted loudly, "Fake is fake, no matter how real it looks, it can’t turn real. What if they manage to fool all the countries? That would be huge! So the reason is quite obvious; they’re just trying to fool so uneducated, clueless little folks!"
"What? This doesn’t look fake? Folks take a look, I told you, this world is never short of anti-intellectuals!"
"Trust in science, sweetie."
"Bet on it? If it isn’t fake, I’ll jump into the sea and swim, how about that?"
"Not enough? I think you’re just ssing with , if this can be real, then I’ll permanently quit the internet and stop streaming, how about that?"
"Yes, that’s how confident I am! But I reckon Star Sea Company won’t let on the island!"
"..."
Guo Yi faced the cara, his emotions running high, with the ever-increasing viewership continually stirring his heart.
This wave of popularity was well-tid!
Fortunately, he reacted quickly, was already by the sea, and even before the press conference ended, he rushed here to lead the charge!
However——
Just as Guo Yi was spitting excitedly, desperately hoping to boost the livestream’s viewership by another ten million, basking in being the "number one debunker of Star Sea," he unexpectedly saw the comnts explode.
Countless words flew across the screen densely.
With his eyesight, he could only barely make out a few bold and colorful lines.
"Look behind you!!!"
A series of exclamation marks proved the sender’s intense excitent.
Guo Yi suddenly had a very ominous feeling.
He didn’t want to turn around so simply.
Especially when he saw his shipmates looking utterly dazed.
But he eventually turned around.
And saw.
Right behind him, in the sky above the island, a line stretching straight to the heavens was faintly appearing there.
As they got closer, it gradually beca clear!
Yes, it was the Space Elevator made up of a million tiny blocks shown at Star Sea Company’s press conference!
This thing really exists!
Guo Yi’s lips moved as if wanting to say sothing.
But it only turned into one word.
"...Damn!"
Shen Shi had already instructed Wen Hezhi, when facing those coming to the island, to allow certain permissions for them to approach the Space Elevator, take photos, videos, and even livestream, but to firmly maintain order.
At this mont, the popularity of the livestream by the host nad Guo Yi continued to rise.
But the viewers’ reactions had completely reversed.
Soone like Guo Yi, stubborn even after being debunked, won’t be the first, nor the last. It’s foreseeable that the authenticity of the Space Elevator will be fully confird soon, and Star Sea Company’s na will completely beco the center of the world.
Shen Shi sat there, suddenly having an inexplicable feeling.
The entire world, the entire civilization, is being turned upside down by his decisions and actions.
"This will beco the norm going forward." He said to himself, "I need to adjust sooner."
And at that mont, the phone suddenly rang.
It was Ai Xin’Er.
Shen Shi smiled slightly, he could roughly imagine how shocked Ai Xin’Er was at this mont.
This should et the "surprise" requirent.
The phone connected.
Shen Shi didn’t speak, and there was no sound on the other end.
Until after a while, a slight inhaling sound was heard.
"Shen Shi... when did you leave?"
"Hmm?" Shen Shi was a bit surprised, "Is this your first question?"
"Because I had absolutely no idea..." Ai Xin’Er’s voice sounded sowhat chaotic, "I used to see you once or twice a year."
"...Four years ago." Shen Shi hesitated for a mont before saying, "But... when I t you and the family, I was controlling from afar, so it counted as ."
This lie was tied to Ti Crystal’s existence; Shen Shi had to keep it secret from everyone.
It’s unrelated to trust.
It’s just that he clearly knew, in the infinite Star Sea, there are many ways to get information from a person’s mind.
"Is that so...." The other side went silent again.
But just as Shen Shi was about to say sothing, Ai Xin’Er suddenly let out a long breath.
"When I first knew you were the ’Return Emperor,’ I was super——excited!" Her tone returned to normal, "It was truly amazing! I watched the entire press conference, the internet technology, and the Space Elevator! Although I expected you must have confidence, I never thought it’d be this big!"
"Then why did you get so sentintal afterward?" Shen Shi laughed, "Can you stop imitating Sister Lin, I prefer the Qingwen style."
"I’m Baochai style, okay? Graceful and elegant in deanor, beautiful in appearance, learned and talented." Ai Xin’Er never shrinks from praising herself.
"Yes, yes." Shen Shi’s tone seed to agree with everything she said, then slightly beca serious, "So, want to visit my spaceship?"
