Chapter 541: No Heroes, No League

PS: A quick aside—as a player who has been with *Genshin Impact* since the servers opened, I was incredibly excited after watching the *Black Myth: Wukong* trailer today.

Some readers previously said that domestic 3A games were like the game name in the book—a final fantasy—but after seeing *Black Myth: Wukong*, I feel that this fantasy is truly not far from us anymore.

Main text:

At noon the next day, Miss Luo Quan, having slept in, finally turned on her livestream.

The reason she started the stream so late was mainly because there had been significant progress in the case last night. She had been called to the police station to assist with the investigation and, incidentally, learned the specific composition of the group that had been orchestrating the smear campaign against her.

She also understood that her fans were very eager to know how this matter would ultimately be handled, so the first thing she did after waking up was to start the stream.

"I'm going to wash my face and brush my teeth first; I'll tell everyone about the specific handling of this matter in a moment," Miss Luo Quan said while yawning.

Taking advantage of the time she was in the bathroom, onlookers from both inside and outside Bilibili flooded in through various channels.

As the summer vacation was coming to an end, Miss Luo Quan had once again brought everyone a massive piece of gossip. However, just like the previous few times, this piece of gossip ended quite quickly; the people who smeared her didn't even last 12 hours before being apprehended.

This once again proved that in the big dyeing vat of the entertainment industry, perhaps Miss Luo Quan is the only star with absolutely no dark spots.

"There are already so many people in the blink of an eye?" Miss Luo Quan came out of the bathroom and saw that the heat in the livestream room had already exceeded 20 million, more than double the usual amount.

"Everyone must be very curious why I started the stream so late. Let me explain first: I was at the police station assisting with the investigation until past two o'clock last night, and I just woke up." Miss Luo Quan smoothed the hair behind her head and tied it up with a headband. "Let me tell you, the police comrades told me that the minimum sentence is three years, and several of them are definitely going to be sentenced to ten years."

Hearing this, the barrage was instantly shocked:

"Damn, is the crime of online defamation sentenced this heavily?"

"I remember it being under three years, how is it three years to start with?"

"Causing such a huge impact, it serves them right to be sentenced heavily. If you ask me, sentencing them all to ten years is good news for the entire online environment!"

"The law has its solemnity; it's not a matter of sentencing however much one wants."

"Legal education still has a long way to go."

……………………

"I know everyone must be very confused as to why the sentences are so heavy," Miss Luo Quan laughed and explained: "If it were just simple online rumor-mongering, they definitely wouldn't be sentenced for so many years; it would mainly be based on compensation."

"However, the main crime these people committed wasn't online rumor-mongering, but the crime of espionage!"

"Espionage?!"

"Damn, how explosive!"

"Wow, I originally thought it was just a small scuffle, I didn't expect to fish out a big fish."

"This isn't a big fish, it's practically a blue whale."

"I often say one thing: out of ten people pushing radical feminism on Weibo, none of them would be wronged if all ten were executed!"

……………………

Miss Luo Quan didn't speak, and the group of onlookers truly hadn't expected it to be such a situation; this could indeed be counted as earth-shattering news.

After all, the current turmoil in the entertainment industry is at most an internal conflict, but this time it involved foreign forces, and the nature of it was immediately different.

"Speaking of which, these people are quite unlucky. The reason they smeared me this time was simply to ride the wave of popularity and incidentally promote radical feminism," Miss Luo Quan explained the ins and outs with a smile. "But after catching them, the police investigated their funds and social interactions and found that they were all members of the same WeChat group. The members inside were just like them, all working as online water army operatives."

"And the group owner was responsible for assigning them tasks and settling wages; the main task was to push radical feminism and create confrontation online."

Miss Luo Quan paused here and said sternly: "The most exciting part is coming. The police followed the clues through this WeChat group and found that the group owner's IP address was not on the mainland, but in Taiwan, and it had been clearly flagged."

As for why it was flagged, those who know, know.

Although there is currently no way to deal with this group owner, they will definitely be recorded, and sooner or later, they will have to pay it back with interest.

As for the other group members, they will definitely be rounded up and punished severely!"

"Damn, so that's how it is. I was wondering why it was so heavy."

"In my opinion, it's still too light. Such animals should be executed directly!"

"Hehe, this is the true face of those radical feminists on Weibo. They claim to be for Chinese women, but in fact, not only is the identity of 'woman' fake, but even the nationality of 'Chinese' is fake."

"Spoke to my heart. But I have to say, these people really have no eyes. Who is bad to provoke, but they went to provoke Miss Luo Quan? Isn't this looking for death?"

"By the way, how did Miss Luo Quan know the true identity of these water army leaders? It feels too fast; even the cyber police aren't this swift."

"Indeed, they found the IP address in less than two hours; it can be called precision-guided."

……………………

Seeing the questions in the barrage, Miss Luo Quan smiled slightly: "This matter involves interests; I can only say that those who know, know. Those who don't, wouldn't understand even if I told them. There are too many insiders; if I say it out, it will be..."

"Classic Zhihu style: 'interests involved', 'anonymized'."

"Riddler, get out of Gotham!"

"If you don't want to say it, you can not say it. Why torture me?"

………………

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Actually, this information was told to me by a netizen called Katyusha. After I got it, I immediately handed it over to the police comrades to investigate the true identities, and finally found that not a single one was wrong." Miss Luo Quan ultimately didn't want to reveal Yunikina's identity, just fabricating a nickname, mainly because she didn't want Yunikina, who was still in school, to fall into public opinion pressure.

"In short, for this matter to end so quickly, I really have to thank Katyusha. In addition, I also want to say a word to those haters who followed the trend to smear me: I abide by the law and do good deeds, and I don't want to be bothered with you usually."

"But if you go too far, then don't blame me for picking up the weapon of the law to deal with you. Don't think that words said across the internet don't require responsibility. These six people are the outcome. Those who don't believe it can try again in the future and see if you get caught!"

After Miss Luo Quan finished speaking, she opened the Penguin player and played a song that had been quite popular recently, *Righteous Path*, directly naming the theme.

"Good fellow, the light of the righteous path!"

"Didn't expect Miss Luo Quan to watch this too."

Fans in the barrage teased with a smile.

This song first became popular on Constable, and it was accompanied by some tacky funny videos. However, because of the exaggerated and demonic performance of the actors, it was extremely humorous, and after being moved to Bilibili, it also gained tens of millions of views.

At first, Bilibili netizens were actually quite resistant to short videos from Douyin and Constable, feeling that they were all clowns seeking attention, and the content of most videos was inferior, brainless, and vulgar.

However, as more and more were moved over, Bilibili netizens changed from resisting to being accustomed to it, even evolving into feeling uncomfortable if they didn't watch them for a day.

Miss Luo Quan had previously been asked by fans about her views on this phenomenon, and she said: Actually, the effect of most software on mobile phones is just to let everyone have a laugh while slacking off. Games, articles, videos, and music are all like this.

As long as the content is not vulgar and does not violate relevant regulations, what does it matter if it's a bit tacky? Is anyone born nobler than others?

Everyone grew up eating grains; there's no need to distinguish between high and low status.

Anyway, she herself finds these tacky videos quite joyful, and the *Righteous Path* series of videos is awkward, but the moral is good. What she really hates are videos like eating *aoli gei* (excrement) and ugliness-seeking; she has criticized these people more than once during livestreams.

"The song is quite good, it's just that the actors' acting skills need improvement," Miss Luo Quan explained with a smile. "Tacky videos are actually something that exists both domestically and abroad. You look at those foreigners on TikTok; everyone is actually about the same."

"Then can you give everyone a tutorial on shaking the flower hand?"

"Don't love me, there's no result, unless your flower hand shakes better than mine."

"Don't compare yourself to others, if you want to compare, compare the laser rain!"

"Damn, is this the start of the 'spiritual youth' quotes?"

"Could it be that Miss Luo Quan also hides the heart of a 'spiritual girl'?"

"Miss Luo Quan: Already blackened, do not disturb!"

"Elementary school student intruding."

"Everyone in the barrage is so knowledgeable. Did I enter the wrong software? Am I on Constable or Douyin now?"

"They're all just people looking for fun."

……………………

Watching the army of internet meme-users emerging in the barrage, the smile on Miss Luo Quan's face never stopped.

People often ask on Zhihu: Throughout history, artists or geniuses usually have eccentric personalities, and there are quite a few with autism, depression, etc., and some even commit suicide at the drop of a hat.

But why is a genius like Miss Luo Quan so joyful every day? Logically, extreme depression should be her state.

Regarding these questions, Miss Luo Quan only wanted to say: "Watching so many silly netizens amuse me every day, even if she wanted to be depressed, she couldn't."

"Hahaha, then the livestream ends here today. See you all tomorrow." Amidst a burst of laughter, Miss Luo Quan happily ended the stream.

At this moment, she saw a text message pop up on her phone screen; it was sent by Zhou Yangwen.

The LPL Summer Finals were about to begin. This match was the last one among all major regions this year, and after that would be the S8 World Finals.

Although the LPL at this time didn't have a championship yet, in terms of heat, it was already the world's number one region. Each team had its own venue, and every match had tens of thousands of fans attending to watch. In terms of operation, it was already quite close to traditional sports!

And this LPL Summer Finals could be considered an important turning point for *League of Legends* to enter the mainstream vision. Penguin spent a lot of effort on this, pulling in more than a dozen sponsors, including industry giants like Mercedes-Benz and KFC.

In addition, before the finals were held, Penguin also organized a grand performance, inviting many stars to perform on stage.

However, most of them were traffic stars, so when the list came out, summoners didn't spray the organizers less.

Fortunately, Penguin soon announced the news of another performing star, and the players who were still cursing immediately changed their faces and started praising Penguin.

This star is none other than the summoner's teacher Miss Luo Quan, who is loved by players.

In terms of traffic, she is the star with the highest heat currently domestically and even internationally. In terms of strength, there is even less to say; not only singing, but even playing games, she is a top expert.

Letting such a star perform on stage is basically the ultimate dream of all summoners.

This matter was actually agreed upon by Zhou Yangwen and Miss Luo Quan a long time ago. Not only the Summer Finals, but she would also perform on stage at the S8 Finals three months later.

Since she had to perform on stage, going empty-handed definitely wouldn't work. After the plan was set, Miss Luo Quan prepared many "LOL theme songs".

The text message Zhou Yangwen sent was to tell Miss Luo Quan that the Summer Finals would be held in three days, and the location was the Shanghai Sports Center. She had to go for rehearsals tomorrow.

At the same time, the LPL official also officially released the performance trailer for the Summer Finals, announcing the star lineup participating this time to the players, among which Miss Luo Quan was in the C position in the center, incomparably dazzling.

Miss Luo Quan forwarded this trailer on Bilibili and said: "Everyone, please look forward to it."

The comment section was immediately ecstatic. In fact, the group of Miss Luo Quan fans and LOL players overlapped significantly. Young people around twenty years old, not many didn't like Miss Luo Quan, and similarly, not many hadn't played LOL.

"Finally saw my favorite star come to sing for my favorite game. Looking forward to you bringing wonderful music this time!"

"GNR and I-Game are about to fight. Can Miss Luo Quan say which one she supports?"

"Is there a need to choose? That must be GNR. If you don't support them, you're not Chinese."

"If you don't support the all-Chinese team, your nationality is gone!"

"Haha, I knew someone would stir up trouble."

"Everyone, don't pit Miss Luo Quan, okay? If she really chose i-Game, wouldn't she be sprayed with tens of thousands of comments?"

"One thing to say, we aren't afraid, okay."

"That's not necessarily true."

"What's not necessarily true? What about yesterday?"

"How did it start arguing while chatting?"

……………………

Miss Luo Quan looked at these comments and was quite helpless.

Clearly, when fighting abroad in the Intercontinental Tournament before, the fans of all teams were so united, practically one family.

As a result, once back home, everyone wished they could spray the other side's genealogy into the sky.

Although Miss Luo Quan was fearless, she still didn't dare to go head-to-head with the GNR team when their momentum was at its peak. In addition, she really didn't like creating this kind of opposition, so she just replied below: "I support both teams, and I will unconditionally support the teams that go to S8 later. I am not a team fan."

This answer was very smooth; it could be said that she offended no one.

And the new song she released later also brought all the attention to the music. ===== CHAPTER 542 =====
