Chapter 82
In a mere ten minutes, Shi Nian had taken eight of the top ten hot searches.
The matter was so huge that it was a total hit.
In the end, this was no longer a matter for Shi Nian himself. After all, intergalactic law has always been fair and strict, so it was hard not to be surprised and angry when the Wu family suddenly did this.
And then the matter of Mrs. Baiâs murder case was brought to the forefront, with another round of criticism following.
If Shi Nian had pretended to shed a few tears and had had a speech prepared like Bai Zihan, Starnet would have exploded even more.
But even so, it was still a big deal, and it continued to spread.
One could imagine how angry Councilor Wu had become.
Well, let him think all day long.
âBefore this Wu guy, there was nothing like that.â Yan Huaxin said, âThey started becoming disobedient and have been playing dirty for two generations now.â
Shi Nian sighed, âYes, what kind of crap is that? Donât they know that when youâre in a position to do something, itâs better to accumulate virtue for yourself.â
âItâs a good thing you were prepared.â
âYes, how could I not be prepared?â
On Lu Bo Tingâs side, Xue Chi was also sighing, âThe things Mr. Shi gave me were really easy to use. I just used that to cover the top. It didnât affect the use of the camera, and it couldnât be blocked either. â
The other day, when Lieutenant Xue was about to go and check on Ji Yiqing, Shi Nian stopped him just for this reason.
As for the equipment, it was thanks to the big black cauldron from earlier.
The big black cauldron was originally made by Shi Nian and fastened to the top of the game pod, so that he could play the game without being found.
After the incident where Ji Yiqing stabbed Bai Zihan, he immediately modified the refining method a little and reduced the size to make it slightly more effective.
In short, he made something that ignored the Wu familyâs signal blocker and captured the picture in its true form.
The Wu family could never have dreamed that their perfect plan would be ruined by a desire to play games in the first place.
At this point, everyone except the Wu family was quite happy.
Madam Lu looked on with pleasure.
At the villa, Mr Zhou also put aside his work for a rare moment and opened a bottle of wine to have a drink with his son.
Inside the imperial palace
The emperor was happy to see the Wu familyâs mould falling, and Jian Xi said, âLast time I saw him, I thought he was amazing, but this is really amazing!â
In another part of the main story, a âmanâ was so angry that he smashed the house.
âTrash, trash, trash!â
âThe Bai family is stupid, and the Wu family is no better. They canât help at all. Theyâve given him all the leverage. Theyâre all stupid.â
Finally, he said calmly.
âPrepare to activate Plan B!â
On Starnet, Bai Zihan was already being cursed like a dog. This time was even worse than the first few times.
Not only him, but also those who said they wanted Shi Nian to apologise to Bai Zihan and answer for the stabbing, were also slapped in the face.
âBai Zihan.â He said, âA victim who made himself look like this.â
Of course, thereâs also Ji Yiqing, who originally got out, but then ended up committing even more serious crimes than before.
This time, he definitely wonât have the chance to get a letter of understanding again.
And because this was such a big deal, it was handled very quickly from above.
Although Councilor Wu was considered powerful, he did not run the council. But not to mention the fact that this matter was too big, as long as he didnât want to arouse public resentment, he could not protect his own people.
Luckily, there was no evidence of his direct involvement in the incident, so he threw out a few of his men who had been caught in the crossfire.
But even so, there were still many people on Starnet who suspected that he was involved in the incident.
Not to mention the fact that so many things have happened in the meantime. First, councillor Wuâs daughter went to jail, then his in-laws, the Bai family, were not to be outdone in their wrongdoings, and now things are starting to happen to his men.
This is how trust was gradually crumbling, and the good public opinion that councillor Wu had been building for years was now half ruined.
That is why those who have a grudge against the Wu family are so happy.
Shi Nian, as a very important person in this matter, naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Not only are the bigwigs concerned about him, but Starnet has been all over him from start to finish. Some people are even compiling a list of all the incidents he has been involved in since he entered the public eye.
It was a shock to see the statistics.
Ji Yiqing and others spread rumours about him, and then Ji Yiqing was slapped in the face and accused.
The Bai family framed him, and now the Bai family has fallen.
Now the Wu family has done it too, and the results are very good. The Wu family is on the rocks.
âMy brother Shi is a magical being. You can say he has good luck, but a man with good luck shouldnât win the lottery. But if you want to call him unlucky, haha, Iâm afraid Ji Yiqing, the Bai and Wu families, canât agree to that. No one who goes against him will end up well anyway. â
âIâve wanted to say that Shi Nian is really something. Other people would be overwhelmed by this kind of thing, but heâs got a long list of them, and nothing happens to him. Amazing! â
âThe key is having the ability to do so too. I canât do the research on the juice of Qianbai flowers, and I make the eyelash essence for beauty, so Iâll just buy it and use it. Thanks to my brother Shi, his great research and development has allowed me to have fine hair and long eyelashes. â
âFrom today onwards, I have a new idol, Shi Nian. The one who messes with him will be unlucky!
âTurning to Shi Nian is a way to ward off evil spirits. â¦â¦ Whoever messes with me will be unlucky.
In the end, Shi Nian became a koi-like being. No, thatâs not quite right, itâs more accurate to describe him as a god of fortune.
His picture was reposted every day on the Star blog.
Anyone who encountered a bad circumstance in their life would want to repost it, so this was a big deal for awhile.
One day, he even saw that a classmate of his had even reposted his picture!
After the last incident, the classmate he chose to broadcast grew a lot of fans, and even her boyfriend grew a lot of fans, and they all came over to thank him.
Who would have thought that, as classmates, she would be able to watch such a big show and take advantage of it?
But when they offered to invite Shi Nian to dinner, he declined. After all, he was still quite busy.
Although adjutant Xue always said that he was a guru of time management, he was still working within a limited time frame and not stretching it out indefinitely.
Compared to him, Madam Lu was much more relaxed and was even happy to go out with friends for a few days in a row.
Today, she even had a date at home.
When Shi Nian came back from the villa, he heard them chatting, and someone was saying, âSpeaking of which, Marshal Lu is not too young. Donât you care about the major events in his life?â
When he heard this, Shi Nian paused and looked over.
There, Madam Lu did not notice his return and was still listening to the chatter of the other ladies.
âYes, yes, he is indeed no longer young.â One of them said, âI hear that there are many people on the main star who are interested in your Bo Ting, and even the girl from the Yan family in the next Federation has openly expressed her love for him. But you can tell us which one you fancy. â
Mrs. Lu sat there with a confused look on her face, saying, âAh? Which one do I like? Even if I do, my family canât make me remarry! â
âGo, go! Did I tell you that? You just know how to show your love. â The one sitting next to her was happy and said, âIâm talking about the one youâre interested in for your son.â
Only then did Mrs. Lu say, âWhatâs that got to do with me?â
She asked the crowd, with a matter-of-fact look on her face, âIs he so old that he canât even find a wife on his own, and he has to get his mother to help him?â
She confused the whole circle of people around her with this comment.
âYou really donât care at all!â
âBut with your sonâs personality, if you donât care, are you going to let him die alone?â
âYouâre really relaxed about it, but I wouldnât. As long as my son doesnât find someone, Iâd worry about it. Luckily, that brat knows how to hurry and is already engaged. â
What do you mean he will die alone? Madam Lu heard this sentence, and just wanted to retort that her son already had someone he liked when she saw Shi Nian at the door.
She stopped talking and looked up and said, âYouâre back. Have you eaten? The kitchen has prepared your favourite dish of roast pork and boneless chicken feet, as well as a sour plum soup. Try it. â
Shi Nian didnât want to interrupt their conversation, so he simply said hello and went to the kitchen to find something to eat.
After he left, a noblewoman couldnât help but say, âThis boy is really good-looking and powerful, but heâs so powerful that he wonât settle for anything less. Otherwise, I would want him for my sonâ¦â
âYour son is better off.â The other said, âLet us go back to the matter of Marshal Lu.â She turned to Mrs. Lu and said, âYou really donât care? Youâd better hurry up and marry him off. â
Mrs. Lu said, âHe didnât say he wanted to marry, so why would he agree to it?â
But in her heart, she thought, âIâll see how long he can keep it to himself.â
She also looked at the one who disliked Shi Nian for being too good. You dislike him now for being powerful, but who would want your son.
âThe first thing you can do is to marry your son, and then you will like him.
âWhether I like it or not, I will wait. Itâs really up to him to get married or notâ¦â
The lady kept bringing it up.
Although Mrs. Lu was spoiled from childhood and was naive and innocent, she wasnât stupid. In addition, since childhood, there have been many people who approached her with ulterior motives, and she was quite sensitive in this regard.
Sure enough, within a few words, the woman mentioned that she had a niece and how nice she was.
Mrs. Lu was so bored that she didnât want to chat with them any longer and sent them off early.
They really thought she was stupid.
In the past, when Lu Bo Ting was not in a good state of mind, these people kept the younger generation at bay and were afraid to get too close. Even if there was a younger generation who liked her son, not many of the elders would agree.
Now that they have released a superb soothing agent, Lu Bo Ting has been in good shape lately, and because the Bai family has fallen and the Wu family has suffered a big loss, they want to lean on their boat.
Bah, you think too beautifully. How can there be so many good things just waiting for you.
At this time, Shi Nian came out of the kitchen with a large pot of boneless chicken and melon, and the robot next to him also held a bowl of sour plum soup.
He put it on the table and said, âItâs delicious. How did you come up with these two combinations?
âHow could I have thought of that?â Mrs. Lu said, âIâve never eaten this before on the main star, but the last time I went out, I saw a little girl eating this, and she said it was very good.â
Shi Nian: âItâs really good.â
very delicious.
âBy the way, why have they all left? Itâs still early?â
He had suddenly thought of something today and wanted to go back to the lab, so he came back early.
Mrs. Lu said, âOh, they were just worried about Bo Tingâs marriage. Itâs so so hard being a mother and having to manage everything. Canât I just let him find his own? â
âThatâs right, Auntie is so kind.â
Mrs. Lu thought happily, âAfter all, all, Iâm still waiting for you to let my silly son hang for a while longer so I can see more of the fun.â
But she was even happier when she saw Shi Nian unconsciously prying into the matter.
These two little ones were quite clever, but she could see through them clearly.
However, in order not to add obstacles to her sonâs love life, Mrs. Lu told Shi Nian about her sonâs future marriage.
The Lu family has an old tradition of spoiling their daughter-in-law.
The elders are very open-minded and do not care about the affairs of the house. As long as the young couple do not do anything like back-stabbing, cheating, or having an affair, everything is fine. They live their lives, and the adults donât care.
It doesnât matter how many children are born or not, the family does not urge this.
âDonât look at what Starnet often says about mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law having grudges. In fact, there are also good onesâ¦â
Shi Nian: âOhhhâ¦..â
What did he come back for and why is he here now listening to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-lawâs lessons.
The question is, why hasnât he found an excuse to get back to business now?
But Mrs. Lu didnât have long to talk, because her light brain rang.
It was a call from a friend from another galaxy, and there was something wrong over there. Shi Nian didnât want to hear it, but the other partyâs voice was so loud that he accidentally heard it.
It seemed that he had met a scumbag.
Shi Nian thought, âDid someone recently stab into the scumbagâs nest?â
Xue Chiâs sister had an online relationship and met a scumbag, Ji Yiqing, the scumbag, also came out to cause trouble, and now Mrs. Luâs friends have also encountered scumbags.
Shi Nian silently left the living room and walked to the laboratory in the backyard.
The brain was instantly occupied with a series of experimental data. The reason why he had to come back here was because he wanted to test out his new idea.
Even in the cultivation world, where storage pouches were easy to make, it was not so easy to make magic items that could be enlarged or reduced in size.
For example, turning two ring-shaped weapons into a bracelet was fine, but there are not many in the whole world that can be found, maybe at places like the Palm Immortal Palace.
It was clear that not just any smith could make one, and the requirements for materials were extremely strict.
When he was still in the cultivation world, he had obviously not yet studied up to that point.
He was â¦â¦
âAlas!â Shi Nian sighed, âIf I knew that I had the conditions back then, I should have learned as much as I could. No matter what, the knowledge that goes into your brain will always be your own. â
Unfortunately, he was a little late in understanding this truth.
Thinking about it, he was spending his days in the cultivation world relaxing, but now that heâs here, heâs really studying every day.
Geez!
It seems that no matter how much he says that Bai Xiaoya and his husband donât care about him, and no matter how much he says that he has been in trouble since he was young, he has gotten used to relying on himself for everything. In fact, those two people, including the existence of the Sword Sect, were a great support for him, so that he did not have to worry about some things in his mind.
After coming here, although he had always despised the fact that people here were not as strong as those in the cultivation world, he did not feel so secure.
Luckily, he had an amazing talent and was a phoenix, so he was born with a special fire. It is much easier to do these things than an ordinary practitioner.
Naturally, he could not demonstrate the method of refining weapons in front of Mr. Zhouâs face, so he could only take some materials with him and return to the laboratory here.
It was only when it was late that Shi Nian wandered out slowly.
Lu Bo Ting happened to be passing by and stopped when he saw his appearance.
âWhatâs wrong with you? Youâre tired and donât know how to take a break?â
He was actually a workaholic himself, yet he still had the face to say such things when he saw others like this.
Shi Nian glanced at him speechlessly, âDonât worry, my kidneys are healthy. Itâs fine to stay up late.â
Lu Bo Ting: â..â
He instantly remembered that when they first met, Shi Nian always reminded him not to stay up late, it was bad for his kidneys and would affect his future life as a husband â¦â¦
He gritted his teeth and tossed the nonsense aside, âYour body is important.â
âI know, I know!â said Shi Nian. After a sudden pause, âYou think I want to? Itâs all your fault.â
If youâre the boss, if youâre invincible, bah, now it seems like it. But how can we compare ourselves to this world? We have to compare ourselves to the cultivation world!
If youâre on the verge of ascension, itâs a lot easier for him toâ¦â¦
So itâs all the bossâs fault!
Lu Bo Ying had no idea why he was being blamed again, but he was used to it.
Yes, no matter what, it was always him who was at fault.
âThe kitchen has cooked food for you. Because Iâm not sure when you would come out, the fried dishes havenât been cooked yet. But the rest will be ready soon. â
Food is served.
Shih Nianâs eyes lit up at the mention of food. âI didnât realise it, I was starving and my eyes were growing blue.â
He hadnât expected to stay in the lab through dinner, and by now it was already too late for a midnight snack.
He had only had a boneless chicken claw before he went in, but he could eat a cow in the meantime.
âYou go ahead, boss. âIâll go and eat,â he said, running away happily. Oh, and he reminded me loudly.
âBy the way, boss, there were many people coming to your house today to propose marriage!â
