Chapter 499: Bunny learns to Scold
Translator: CKtalon Editor:
It was obvious from the thread's title that the poster was an anti-fan who had deliberately posted to stir trouble. If not, it was a troll who had menacing intentions of trying to get people worked up to get replies. Hence, Xiao Xiao did not click the thread immediately.
However, the number of replies in the thread was constantly increasing. Xiao Xiao immediately could not bear it as she clicked it to check it out.
The opening poster (OP) had written three historical records in the opening post:
Overlord Ji Feng, four hours.
Sword Immortal Xu Taibai, three and a half hours.
Conquest King, five hours.
These three people were historical figures who had previously reached the eighth level of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower as well as the time they had spent in the eighth level!
Yes, even these striking historical figures had only managed to spend a maximum of five hours in the eighth level before they were eliminated.
Hence, even though Shi Xiaobai had wiped out the Level Lords, no one believed that Shi Xiaobai could reach the ninth level. What people focused on was how long Shi Xiaobai could stay on the eighth level. They wanted to know if he could break the five-hour record that was set by the Conquest King!
And this so-called prediction thread had declared that Shi Xiaobai would not last more than an hour. It was clear that it is was meant to sully Shi Xiaobai.
Indeed, the OP of the thread carried on analyzing. Instead of saying it was an analysis, it was more like a forceful account of affairs. The reasons that lacked logic strenuously came up with a conclusion that Shi Xiaobai would not last more than an hour. It was an insult to the intelligence of others.
And the reason why the number of replies the thread had were increasing rapidly was that the thread's OP had spent money to hire troll armies to flood the thread with replies that were filled with malicious intent. And the fans of the forum began to protest angrily. They began attacking the OP!
Sigh, anti-fans of this era would really resort to every conceivable means. Not only did they deliberately stir trouble to play to the gallery, they even managed to think of hiring troll armies.
After looking at it for a while, Xiao Xiao found it boring. She stretched out her finger to close the irritating thread.
Suddenly, a young voice echoed beside her ear.
"What nonsense."
Xiao Xiao turned her head in surprise and realized that Bunny had stuck her head over without her knowing. She was staring at her cell phone's screen and her black eyes were twinkling like stars.
Xiao Xiao felt helpless. Bunny Cao was indeed a girl that did not know any better. How could she look at the cell phone screen of others without permission?
At that moment, Bunny suddenly stretched her finger to point at OP on the screen and said, "This person is spouting nonsense! It's impossible for Shi Xiaobai to not be able to last an hour. He can last at least five hours!"
With that said, Xiao Xiao was immediately astonished.
Bunny Cao was certain that Shi Xiaobai would be able to last more than five hours in the eighth level. That would be an achievement that surpassed the Conquest King. It would create a brand new historical record for the Psionic Mortal Realm!
What did Bunny Cao base on to have so much confidence in Shi Xiaobai?
Xiao Xiao blurted a question, "You know Shi Xiaobai?"
Bunny immediately shook her head and said, "Nope?"
Xiao Xiao said in surprise, "Then why are you so sure that Shi Xiaobai can last more than five hours?"
Bunny pouted as her eyes gradually brightened. She said, "Daddy mentioned it just yesterday. He said that a boy about my age named Shi Xiaobai has recently wiped out eight Level Lords in the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower. This matter is something Bun Bun can't do. Daddy also once said that the present Bun Bun is only slightly weaker than the Hero King at the same age but stronger than the Conquest King. Since Shi Xiaobai has done something Bun Bun can't do, he would definitely be stronger than the Conquest King. So he will definitely exceed five hours!"
The logic in the series of words was very simple but very problematic. Furthermore, there were many points that were debatable.
For example, how was Bunny Cao's dad so certain that Bunny was stronger than the Conquest King at the same age?
Who was Bunny Cao's father? How could he say something in such an exaggerated manner?
Why would Bunny Cao completely believe her dad?
However, Xiao Xiao did not deliberately consider these questions. Instead, she nodded her head happily and said, "I also believe that Shi Xiaobai can last more than five hours!"
Although Bunny's acknowledgment of Shi Xiaobai was because of an odd reason, it still made Xiao Xiao feel a baffling sense of happiness. Was it because the person she acknowledged was also acknowledged by someone else?
In short, Xiao Xiao felt great when she heard a positive evaluation of Shi Xiaobai from Bunny's mouth!
At that moment, Bunny suddenly said, "What are you waiting for?"
Xiao Xiao faltered and asked curiously, "Waiting for what?"
Bunny suddenly grinned and with her eyes twinkling, she pointed at the OP on the cell phone screen and said in a high-spirited manner, "Scold him!"
Bunny's head drew closer and with her grinning, Xiao Xiao realized that Bunny had two cute canine teeth. There were also shallow dimples on her cheeks.
For some unknown reason, Xiao Xiao felt that she was infected by Bunny Cao's smile. She blurted out a question, "How should he be scolded?"
Xiao Xiao has a good family background so she carried herself really well and she had almost never scolded others, not to mention being a flamer on the Internet. She had never thought of such meaningless matters so although she felt a baffling impulse because of Bunny's canine teeth and dimples, she was unsure about the act of scolding others.
In response to Xiao Xiao's question, Bunny blinked and pondered for a moment with a frown before she exclaimed and shook her head. "I don't know how to scold. I've never scolded others before."
Xiao Xiao could not help but laugh. She felt that it was only right for Bunny to not know how to scold others.
Xiao Xiao imitated Bunny's blinking and said with a playful smile, "Then are we still scolding?"
"Yes!"
Bunny said with a nod, "Daddy says that one should be scolded if one does something wrong! This person is absolutely wrong, so there is a need for him to be scolded!"
Xiao Xiao burst into laughter as she felt that Bunny Cao was greatly influenced by her dad. However, the influence was rather positive and she could feel his painstaking efforts to educate his daughter.
However, isn't there a need to teach her some general knowledge? Also, how can you let your innocent daughter run around alone?
"Then…let's learn from the others?"
Xiao Xiao suddenly thought of a solution. Despite them not knowing how to scold, there were many experts that knew how to scold on the forum. It was especially evident in that thread. The number of people scolding the OP was not in the minority, so wouldn't learning from them be sufficient?
Bunny immediately agreed to Xiao Xiao's suggestion by nodding her head heavily.
Xiao Xiao smiled faintly as she scrolled down to the replies from the fans. It was basically a bombardment of the OP.
It would have been fine if she didn't take a look, but that look of hers gave her a fright. Xiao Xiao was appalled to discover that there was a technique to scolding the OP. The way some fans scolded the OP was filled with 'literary art' or the 'charm of literature'!
For example:
"I would like to represent 'China's Research Center for Mental Health' to solemnly apologize to everyone here. Due to our negligence, we allowed the OP to escape time and time again. It has brought unneeded trouble and undesirable effects to everyone and to society. Here, I'll express my heartfelt apologies. About the OP's sickness, our research center has always been paying close attention to it. Although the OP is currently not in a stable condition and he might act out at any time, we will try our best even if there is a one in a hundred chance of curing him. We have the confidence, determination, and persistence to cure OP and help OP escape the clutches of his sickness's demons. At the same time, I wish everyone in the world would do their best to complement our work and create a harmonious society together. Crazy people aren't scary. We should not mock OP!"
"Shh~ Look, what did I discover? There is an OP that is alone. We can attempt capturing it. One OP can provide us with days of energy. They are rich in protein and a single unit of OP contains more protein than what beef has. However, OP is not easy to deal with. We should slowly approach it from the back. Be careful not to make any noise. Hehe, I caught it. It's struggling vigorously! We just need to twist its head once and we can then pull its innards out. The other parts can be eaten raw. Of course, if time isn't tight, we can first roast it. It would be much more delicious. Oh, it's crispy in texture and it tastes just like chicken!"
