TWWMABMTBH Chapter 23

Chapter 23: I, Hu Hansan, Have Returned!

System: Rong, ah! I think you’ll get reported for clickbait titles sooner or later.

“That’s impossible!” Rong Ziyan retorted confidently. He believed he wasn’t the type to use sensational titles to attract attention and deceive people.

After all, what he wrote was not only very realistic but also based on his own experiences.

Rong Ziyan typed very quickly. Most of it was based on true events, so after a little thought, he wrote it in about an hour.

System: So, what are we doing now?

Rong Ziyan: It’s only eight o’clock. Let’s make some money first, then go home and sleep!

The System vaguely felt uneasy. As expected, it saw Rong Ziyan open an “Invite you to answer” section and start his extensive question-answering journey.

The key point was that Rong Ziyan chose the same category as last time: Relationships.

Yes, a straight man was going to answer people’s relationship problems. The System already felt sorry for the people who would receive his answers.

Zhihu: My girlfriend’s best friend suddenly called me and asked me to pick her up from a desolate place with only factories, where she can’t get a ride. What should I do?

Rong Ziyan: Thanks for the invite, call her a truck. If one truck isn’t enough, call ten.

Zhihu: A girl I just met, who I have a good chat with, asked me to go to a movie at night and bring my ID. What does this mean?

Rong Ziyan: Thanks for the invite, Internet cafes require overnight IDs.

Zhihu: Why do I lose control when I see a beautiful woman?

Rong Ziyan: Thanks for the invite, chemical castration can solve the problem fundamentally.

Zhihu: What do you think about cheating?

Rong Ziyan: Thanks for the invite, it’s extremely inconsistent with the principles of economics. One wife and one child are barely affordable, let alone more. Also, I suggest the poster get a partner first. For single dogs, cheating is a Schrödinger’s concept.

Generally, the posts in the relationship section of Zhihu can be divided into several types. One is the “late-night drunk” type.

Whether it is true or not is unknown, but when opened, most of them have mournful tones, disappointed in love, needing comfort.

Another type is where people openly post photos to flirt and hook up. The young girls and boys in the comments are passionate and flirtatious. However, these posts are rarely pushed to Rong Ziyan’s homepage.

The rest, besides the small fraction that seriously seek help, are those who are just bored and want to start a flame war.

Like the two who asked about losing control when seeing beautiful women and cheating, they were clearly there to provoke a fight.

Right now, these two guys, after posting, waited for someone to start a fight, planning to vent their frustrations in life by having a good argument. And also fantasize about the pleasant feeling of being admired by everyone.

But they never expected that Rong Ziyan’s one reply would kill them.

“Brilliant, hahaha, too awesome!”

“I can’t take it anymore, chemical castration. Oh my god, poster, go do it! You’ll never have desire again.”

“Schrödinger’s cheating is also amazing. Come to think of it, the poster really can’t cheat, he posted two days ago looking for a girlfriend!”

“Trashy war-starting perverts get lost!”

The two didn’t gain any advantage, instead, they were called perverts by people below and mocked by many.

After all, people nowadays have a stronger sense of morality. Even celebrities who cheat get shamed, these behaviors clearly go against the value system and will certainly be condemned.

But the internet is the internet after all, there are also many people who talk big. If Rong Ziyan hadn’t directly nailed down the direction with such a righteous first reply, this post would definitely have turned into a fight in the end.

Unfortunately, the world of a straight man is so black and white, these two posters were directly bombed into ashes from their position of leading the charge.

“Damn it, that first reply is crazy!” These two were furious and couldn’t help but swear at Rong Ziyan, completely forgetting that they asked these questions to start a fight. But already being attacked from all sides, they naturally didn’t dare to openly fight back, and could only silently curse in their hearts.

Those who saw Rong Ziyan’s answers and couldn’t help but applaud gave Rong Ziyan a lot of excitement points. There were even those who had been hurt by perverts or cheating scumbags, giving Rong Ziyan a huge amount of praise points.

Rong Ziyan’s speed in answering questions was very fast. And he didn’t seek to be a sensation, only quantity. After quickly occupying the first floor, he immediately left, and never looked back. No matter how many comments there were below, he wouldn’t return to reply.

Soon, many posters in this time slot all had Rong Ziyan’s ID in the comments.

Gradually, someone noticed how familiar this first floor name was?

Someone, thinking about it, suddenly remembered, “Damn it! Isn’t this the poster who went eunuch last time and said he was going back to hunt wild boars?”

As soon as this question came up, those who had read Rong Ziyan’s previous post also started to get excited.

“Mmp, this grandson dares to log back into Zhihu?”

“Did you catch the wild boars? I heard your ‘below’ is gone, is rehabilitation over?”

“Trash, I’ll scold you every time I see you!”

For a while, the resentment value rapidly increased. The system notifications flashed across Rong Ziyan’s mind like a barrage of on-screen messages.

System: … Rong, ah! Do you want to change to a smurf account? I feel like your main account is going to fail. Look, they still remember you!

At this time, as the System finished talking, Rong Ziyan’s Zhihu account welcomed a second wave of sightseers, and the comments below his posts were filled with insults.

Rong Ziyan thought for a moment, then clicked on the previous post, quickly scrolled to the very bottom. At the same time, at the lowest floor, he wrote a line: “Ending path: ‘After disgrace, even the village geese did not abandon me’.”

So, this was to divert traffic to a new post? Rong Ziyan’s actions were so impressive, the System was shocked.

System: … You’re going to get killed!

Rong Ziyan calmly said: No, who will write the updates if I die?

System: Why do I feel like you’re becoming less and less of a human being?

Rong Ziyan smiled and said nothing, but also stopped answering questions and planned to pack up and go home.

As for the post, Rong Ziyan felt that things had progressed to this point, there was no need to pay too much attention to it. As long as they clicked into the new post, they would naturally send him money.

As expected, just as Rong Ziyan planned, his new post quickly became popular.

The same as the last post’s deceptive tactics, Rong Ziyan’s style was always so unique. The clean and concise way of telling stories, the pinpoint accuracy. Easily making people immersed in the story. But this time, the focus was more on the village’s sights.

The “sea king” pigs, the cowardly ducks, and the turtles who wouldn’t get close unless asked.

“Holy crap, is veterinary medicine this interesting?”

“What kind of wonderland is this? I also want to raise ducks!”

“Hahahaha, I’m dying of laughter, is the village heartthrob really called Tie Zhu? Is his surname Murong?”

Everyone was reading with great interest, but just when they were most excited, a familiar trick appeared.

Following the previous story, the Rich Second Generation was still relentless towards the top student, but had already developed baldness and lost a lot of face at school, which was like heaven helping them punish him, making people feel a little relieved. But the top student was also in a passive position. The money for publishing the paper was barely gathered, but the Rich Second Generation was suspected of academic plagiarism and was trying to use his connections to suppress the top student again.

This was the most crucial battle! As long as the paper was published successfully, the top student would have the opportunity to immediately leave the village and return to the academic circle.

But at this most critical moment, Rong Ziyan’s post stopped again, with no follow-up.

“So what happened?”

Those who were following the post were all anxious and waited impatiently for the next update.

However, four or five hours passed, and Rong Ziyan still had no update.

Then, a night and a day passed. They still hadn’t waited for Rong Ziyan’s update. So, did he give up again?

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh I’m going to kill this idiot Zhihu poster!”

The resentment value provided by the netizens skyrocketed instantly, easily breaking through the 350,000 mark within three days. It looked like it was heading towards 400,000.

But at this time, Rong Ziyan’s mind was no longer on Zhihu. It seemed that something big had happened at school again.

The class group was flashing frantically, and some people kept tagging Rong Ziyan.

Rong Ziyan quickly opened the QQ group and saw that there were problems with their previous paper.

Someone had anonymously reported to the editor that the paper submitted by the Agricultural University’s Veterinary Medicine Department was suspected of ghostwriting.

To do this at this crucial point? Who was it?

Rong Ziyan frowned, feeling that something was not right.

At this moment, his phone also rang, it was his advisor.

“Teacher, I already know!” Rong Ziyan told the advisor about the situation first.

The advisor couldn’t help sighing, “Ah, I’m calling to tell you about this. I’m giving you a heads up, you have to be mentally prepared.”

The advisor really felt it was a pity for Rong Ziyan.

After Rong Ziyan and the Rich Second Generation’s papers passed the school’s review, they were sent to the editor of a core journal. But unexpectedly, after a few days, their papers were rejected before entering the review process.

The reason was that anonymous report. The core journal was very sensitive about academic fraud. After a meeting and discussion, they decided to increase the submission requirements.

Undergraduates who wanted to submit had to have published three or more provincial-level journals or above during their university years before they could participate.

This threshold was abrupt, but it really restricted a large group of people. Rong Ziyan and the Rich Second Generation were among them, but they were not the only ones.

Now there were only three months left before the deadline. Three months, three provincial-level journal papers, this was a fantasy.

In the Agricultural University campus forum, one person who had finally passed the manuscript but was directly rejected completely collapsed.

“I don’t know who in the Veterinary Medicine Department caused this trouble, but I’m just saying it! I will remember you for the rest of my life!”

Four years! Four whole years of university had been spent on this topic. They were waiting to rely on this to enter the academic circle and get a stepping stone to knock on the door of a better advisor. As a result, all their hard work was wasted.

With their careers blocked, the true academics’ mental states collapsed instantly.

Students from all departments gathered in the school forum, they were all making a fuss.

There were even some people creating rumors, saying that the academic fraudster was none other than Rong Ziyan.

One anonymous post was even more to the point: “If Rong Ziyan has real ability, why was his offer of direct admission cancelled?”

Suddenly, everyone seemed to have found solid evidence, and all the criticism was directed at Rong Ziyan.

“Trash! Disgracing the Agricultural University.”

“Please ask the faculty to expel this kind of trash immediately. Trash is not worthy of doing academics!”

For a while, the cursing flew everywhere. But on the veterinary department’s side, many people felt that this matter had nothing to do with Rong Ziyan.

Who didn’t know that Rong Ziyan’s cancellation of direct admission was completely due to someone setting him up? Moreover, Rong Ziyan had to work while studying to support himself and pay tuition. He was so poor that he almost wrote papers for people to make money, where would he get the money to buy a paper? It sounded like a joke.

But there were few people in the veterinary department. In addition, those in the school who were jumping to conclusions had placed all the blame on Rong Ziyan. They were too late to clarify and were cursed together.

Even Rong Ziyan’s previous direct admission was being questioned for having insider dealings.

Someone called out to Rong Ziyan in the air, asking him to explain why he had received the offer of direct admission.

“Mmp, what kind of idiots are these!” The System was furious, but Rong Ziyan didn’t even frown, instead, he was organizing the System information in his mind.

He was sorting out who specifically provided him with anger points at the school, and which department they were from.

The System didn’t understand at all, and cautiously asked Rong Ziyan, “Host, why aren’t you angry at all?”

Rong Ziyan calmly asked, “Why be angry? Don’t you think this is a good opportunity to make money?”

System: ???

Then, it watched as Rong Ziyan opened his phone, skillfully logged into the school forum, and replied to the person who called out to him in the air using his real name.

Rong Ziyan: Some people will never understand why I got the offer of direct admission. Of course, it’s because…

Rong Ziyan typed a few rows of spaces after “because,” so that the content below would only be visible if the post was opened to see the full response on a phone.

However, after opening the details, what was written below was, “Of course it’s because you’re all too bad!”

“In academic research, being bad is the original sin.”
