Volume 1, Chapter 191: Waging a Public Opinion War

Recently, a major scandal broke out in the esoteric circle: Dian Qiu, the rising star of metaphysics, had suffered a massive downfall.

In an instant, the Number One Metaphysics Network was flooded with various posts.

"The fraudster Dian Qiu lacks all professional ethics and disgraces the image of the esoteric gates. It is recommended to ban her from the metaphysical community forever."

"Are Dian Qiu's supporters naturally mute? Now that Dian Qiu's true face has been exposed, why aren't you speaking up?"

"..."

At this moment—

Qin Yu elegantly tapped her forehead with her index finger, her well-defined knuckles looking exceptionally striking in the sunlight.

Qin Yu narrowed her eyes at the glass overhead, her expression lazy, resembling a freshly awakened ragdoll cat.

She liked the gentle sunlight; shining on her, it felt warm and filled her entire body with abundant spiritual energy.

Meanwhile, the glass roof above her happened to block out the ultraviolet rays in the air that were harmful to the skin, making her feel quite comfortable.

Only...

Qin Yu gently raised her eyes and glanced at a certain ball of fur grinding its teeth.

"Muling, you're disturbing me."

Muling flew over as if his fur had stood on end. "Xiao Yu, have you been angered out of your wits? How can you remain so calm when those people are stepping all over your head?"

Qin Yu's expression was indifferent, giving off a strong aura of "hanging high above, unaffected by worldly affairs."

The time had not yet come.

Muling was fighting injustice for Qin Yu, yet the person involved maintained this attitude. It drove him crazy, making him hop up and down in anxiety.

"Xiao Yu, do you know what people on the internet are saying about you right now? You! I'm about to die of anger!"

Qin Yu casually grabbed a book, which happened to be a sixth-grade mathematics textbook.

These books had been here for quite some time, but she had never found the time to flip through them.

With her livestreaming channel currently banned, she had plenty of leisure time to pass.

Hearing no response from Qin Yu, Muling looked over curiously and saw Qin Yu's tightly knitted brow.

Muling felt a sudden sense of relief.

Finally, under his earnest and persuasive counseling, had Xiao Yu finally realized the severity of the situation?

Wuwuwu... It was not easy at all.

Muling wiped away a non-existent tear from the corner of his eye. He gave a light cough and comforted her, "Xiao Yu, don't be too angry either. As long as you do as I say right now, everything is still not too late..."

"So that's how it is!"

Qin Yu's surprised voice interrupted Muling's nagging.

Muling's eyes nearly turned into blooming flowers. "Xiao Yu, do you also think what I said is very right?"

Qin Yu cast a puzzled look over. "What? Can a ghost from ancient times like you even set up an unknown variable $x$?"

"Eks?" Muling's head was full of question marks. "Is that some special secret code?"

Qin Yu tapped the book with her fingertip. "Look, it's this problem. The speed of the current, the speed of the boat, and the width of the river."

Muling bounced over, staring at those two rows of text with a frown so deep it could crush a mosquito to death. Then, in the most solemn tone possible, he said, "This young master thinks this problem is idiotic, because no matter how the water flows or how the boat moves, getting across is just a matter of a single leap for this young master."

Qin Yu: ......

Thinking that Qin Yu didn't believe him, Muling grew a bit anxious.

However, Qin Yu didn't give him a chance to speak; she lowered her head and prepared to continue reading.

Muling belatedly remembered the unfavorable remarks about Qin Yu he had seen online, and he seemed to have made some special determination—at a critical moment, he still had to rely on this young master!

Sensing the fluctuating emotional waves of Muling, Qin Yu's thin lips parted and closed. "Muling, do not interfere in this matter."

The named Muling was utterly bewildered. "Why?"

"To win this public opinion war brilliantly, you must let the public opinion ferment to its fullest..." Because the resulting reversal would deliver the maximum impact.

Muling didn't understand any of this. Just as he was about to speak, he unexpectedly discovered that the Number One Metaphysics Network had suddenly thrown a "404" error.

Thinking his eyes were playing tricks on him, he refreshed it several times in a row, but got the exact same result.

Just as he was feeling puzzled, heavy footsteps grew closer and closer outside the hallway.
