The system's information flowed through Luo Quan's mind, and when she opened her eyes, she found herself in a rented apartment.

The apartment was quite cramped, at most twenty-something square meters, with only a bedroom and a bathroom.

Actually, if it were just one person living there, twenty-something square meters would already be enough, after all, sleeping only needs three chi of width, plus a kitchen and toilet, the remaining space could fit a cabinet and a computer desk.

For otaku men and women, this already meets the minimum living requirements.

But that's for one person; Luo Quan's current physique is that of two people.

A bed that wasn't particularly wide to begin with, under her pressure, its edges were almost invisible, and every time she turned over, it would emit a groan as if it were about to disintegrate immediately.

Luo Quan didn't look in the mirror, but just by lowering her head she could tell her current physique was nearly square.

"Losing over a hundred jin, this is truly a daunting task."

Luo Quan struggled painfully to get up from the bed, discovering that even stretching her legs was now very difficult, and any movement caused her heartbeat to quicken, as if she might faint from exhaustion at any moment.

At this moment, she finally understood how miserable Li Xiaomiao must have felt back then.

More importantly, Li Xiaomiao had cultivation, so although her movement was somewhat inconvenient, her stamina was fine—she could run for several hours straight.

Later, with the high-tech drugs given by the system, she quickly brought her weight down.

But now she can say she has nothing: no stamina, no money, no high-tech weight-loss drugs, only a somewhat decent pixel Rice phone.

Luo Quan used her carrot-thick fingers to swipe open the phone screen and checked Luo Xiaoyuan's social life.

She mainly played Weibo, Douyin, and Xiaohongshu, posting ordinary content showing off her looks and figure.

Luo Xiaoyuan used to be beautiful; five years ago, before she got this fat, she was at least a seven out of ten in looks, and with makeup could be even higher.

However, because her father died and she developed depression, to treat the illness she took a lot of medicine.

Although the illness was cured, she ended up with aftereffects, namely this extraordinary obesity.

Luo Xiaoyuan tried many weight-loss methods, but unfortunately the effects were not obvious.

And as a girl who used to be beautiful, Luo Xiaoyuan naturally couldn't just display her current appearance like this.

So she took photos and livestreams, using PS techniques to slim her face and body, maintaining her original looks in the virtual world.

In Luo Xiaoyuan's view, this behavior isn't deception, because she originally was that beautiful, it's just that she really can't lose weight now.

Relying on looks and figure far surpassing most internet celebrities, Luo Xiaoyuan accumulated over two million fans across several platforms.

However, because she didn't sign with an agency, didn't like doing product promotions, and didn't go offline dates with the top big brother, her ways to earn money were limited, completely relying on fan tips to get by.

One person living like this is still quite comfortable, and completely enough for her to upgrade to a decent apartment.

But Luo Xiaoyuan thinks such a room feels safer, so she never moved.

If this PS behavior remained undiscovered, then Luo Xiaoyuan wouldn't really have any big problems, after all she only appears online and never participates in any offline activities.

But paper can't ultimately wrap fire.

Once during a livestream co-hosting, she accidentally turned off PS, revealing her 260-jin physique fully to fans for the first time.

This caused Luo Xiaoyuan's fans to all explode on the spot.

They never dreamed that the goddess they were just screen-licking and shouting "wife" at would, in the blink of an eye, turn into a nearly 300-jin tiger-like tank.

After shock came outrage, with curses and demands for refunds like Geneva popping up one after another.

Luo Xiaoyuan's name was also sprayed onto the hot search by angry netizens.

Overnight, Luo Xiaoyuan became famous, her name becoming a symbol used to describe all female fatties.

Countless netizens began using her as a meme, editing demonic videos, and more directly entered her livestream to shamelessly mock, insult, and even tell her to die.

Luo Xiaoyuan didn't argue about this, because she knew this was her own doing.

After livestreaming for three days, Luo Xiaoyuan found she really couldn't withstand the pressure from online bullying, and finally chose to temporarily quit the internet to escape the scolding.

She thought, perhaps once this wave of fiercest attacks passes, maybe everything will get better.

This is the background summary.

Even with Luo Quan's good mindset, seeing this situation she couldn't help but sigh, truly a hellish start within a hellish start.

This is practically Qiao Biluo's other self; when Qiao Biluo quit the internet back then, did netizens forget her?

Of course not; although people say the internet has no memory, for this kind of phenomenon-level meme, it can truly be said that the memory is fresh, and you can see it almost anywhere, and it appears quite frequently.

Just like Luo Xiaoyuan, her name has already become a symbol.

In this super adverse situation wanting to turn things around, apologizing alone probably won't help; truly, the only way is to lose weight.

However, the first one or two months definitely won't show obvious results, and she'll probably get scolded terribly.

Fortunately, Luo Quan self-assesses her stress resistance as decent; as long as she keeps telling herself this isn't scolding her, the problem won't be especially big.

Anyway, let's first check Weibo.

Logging into the account, Luo Quan found she hadn't logged in for ten days; the latest Weibo was her apology for deceiving netizens, now with nearly 100,000 comments.

Looking at it, eighty percent were scolding her, ten percent were mocking, and another ten percent were fans pretending to like her but secretly mocking her.

In short, no one could be seen saying good things.

But that's normal; in this situation, without hiring a water army, how could anyone say good things?

Those so-called holy mothers online are actually fake; no one would be a holy mother without money.

The situation is very bad, but Luo Quan isn't discouraged at all; instead, she opened the livestream room and changed the title to "Apologizing for yesterday's deception, starting weight loss today, tomorrow will be better."

That said, although she was scolded terribly this time, it also brought her considerable traffic.

Originally she had just over a million fans on Douyin, now it's grown to 1.56 million, probably because people who came to scold her wanted to follow her account for easier future scolding, so they hit follow.

As expected, the moment she went live, the popularity instantly soared to one hundred thousand.

Douyin's popularity metric differs from other sites; hitting one hundred thousand already makes you a top streamer. She used to be just a second- or third-tier small streamer, with popularity only around thirty or forty thousand.

If the collar of the outfit she wore that night had been a bit lower, the popularity might have risen another ten or twenty thousand, but it had never once broken through one hundred thousand.

No wonder those celebrities in the entertainment industry love doing controversial things and saying anti-intellectual remarks so much.

Perhaps they themselves know doing this will get them scolded, but doing it brings popularity — and not just ordinary popularity; it might directly boost fans by over ten percent.

Luo Quan has now realized the cleverness of this method, but the problem is: how to rebuild the reputation that collapsed because of it?

Next, she decided to conduct a complete experiment.

"Yo, still daring to come out and livestream to scam rotten money?"

"Among so many births, you count as the relatively brave one, even daring to go online."

"I thought you had already quit the internet. Hang in there by all means — if you quit, there'll be no one to fill the entertainment I lack."

"Why isn't the streamer on camera? New Year's coming up; let me see what the year pig looks like."

"Haha, you guys are too outrageous. Don't scold this harshly right off the bat — if you scare them away, it won't be fun later."

"Streamer, how much do you weigh? Convenient to say?"

"What are you doing? A girl's weight isn't something you can just ask casually, is it?"

"This is a girl? It's a sow — one equals three."

"Feels like Luo Xiaoyuan is about to drop little pearls."

"Slaughtering the pig."

………………

Same as anticipated, the public opinion environment was extremely hostile, even more hostile than she had predicted.

She often streamed on Bilibili, plus her special status on Bilibili, meant she almost never saw any aggressive remarks.

Suddenly switching to a new environment now, aggressive vocabulary came one after another, simply non-stop.

Fortunately, although their aggressiveness was strong, at least they didn't use profanity.

Much better than Weibo, where mouths are full of genital references and they drag your family into it at the drop of a hat.

Luo Quan felt it for a while and expressed that she felt nothing; the intensity could even be increased a bit.

Of course, if she spoke words dripping with such mockery, her reputation could forget about turning around.

The last female streamer who mocked fans after a scandal has already completely cooled down — from originally ten thousand VIPs, she dropped directly to a pitiful few hundred, many of which were still water-army accounts from a single guild.

Equivalent to driving away all her paying viewers just for a moment of verbal satisfaction.

Luo Quan didn't know how many paying viewers willing to pay she had left now — perhaps not a single one — but at least she couldn't leave a bad impression on the new fans.

Although her predecessor deceiving people was indeed wrong, as long as she sincerely apologized afterward and actively made amends, a turnaround wasn't impossible.

So, every step of operation right now was extremely crucial.

First, keep calm; second, absolutely don't talk tough.

Facing the overwhelming abuse, Luo Quan turned the camera to face front, brought out her perfect acting skills, squeezed out a smile that was seven parts apologetic, two parts sad, and one part awkward, and said: "For my previous deception, I say sorry to everyone."

However, because she was too fat, her face full of fat couldn't show such delicate expression at all.

This smile was simply uglier than crying.

"Damn, move your face further away — scared the baby to death!"

"My mom asked why a pig appeared on my phone; I said it's the latest heavy tank."

"Streamer, you'd better turn off the camera and talk — it's a bit scary."

"Is that expression laughing or mourning? Bad luck."

"The apology is quite sincere, but if doing wrong only requires an apology, what do we need police for?"

"Geneva refund! The old man feels disgusted just thinking he used your photos before!"

"Fairly speaking, the photoshopped pics were still top-tier; who knew the real person is this pig-like."

"Calling her a pig insults pigs."

……………………

Intensity continued to rise. Luo Quan took a deep breath and continued: "Actually, I really used to look like the photoshopped pics. It's just that because I got depression and took medicine, I got fat.

Of course, deceiving everyone like this was indeed wrong, so if anyone wants a refund, you can DM me, and I'll slowly refund the money to everyone later."

The bullet comments laughed upon hearing this:

"Classic of classics — I knew depression would come up."

"Family, who understands? I got cyberbullied into depression."

"About those days I was cyberbullied — I got depression — don't laugh challenge — livestream selling goods, you've entered phase two now, right?"

"Not interested in this bullshit. I just ask: how do you count the feelings I owed you?!"

"Damn, the old man once moved true feelings too; now regret to death."

"Whatever. At least the voice still sounds pretty good; lights off, all the same."

"Maybe the feel is even better."

"You guys really aren't picky."

………………

After a round of apologies, the intensity of the bullet comments' language decreased somewhat.

Most people actually eat soft not hard — if you keep apologizing and acting pitiful, they'll more or less restrain themselves.

Conversely, if you dare to stay tough to the end, that's truly beyond saving.

As for Luo Quan, although the expression on her face was fake, the feelings she wanted to make up for were real — because she really intended to lose weight.

"First, really thank those fans who still hold feelings for me.

I know many of you have been following me since the beginning, old fans, and I want to tell you that your feelings were not wasted, because what you liked was my original self, so it is not fake.

And to respond to this affection, and to make up for my mistake, I have decided to start losing weight from today.

Just now, a viewer asked me how many jin I weigh; here I can clearly tell everyone that I am 260 jin, and my weight loss goal is half of that, which is 130 jin.

Miss Luo Quan said but here she paused, took a breath, and continued: "I know you all must think I am bragging, or making an excuse to keep milking easy money.

Anyway, no matter how I swear now, you won't believe me, so I have decided to prove my determination with action."

Saying this, Miss Luo Quan put her hands on the bed, decided to get downstairs and start running.

Who would have thought that because of the too much movement, the bed board collapsed directly, only hearing a bang, and Miss Luo Quan's whole body directly sank into it.
