With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

Shennong hadn't paid much attention, thinking Achen was just chatting casually, but judging from his tone, the other person seemed quite serious. Actually, Achen had been somewhat surprised by his "liking" of Qianruo before.

He still remembers Ah Chen's tone at that time, which was clearly filled with disbelief, as if he was saying, how could he like Qian Ruo?

At the time, he thought that Achen felt that the two of them were not a good match. After all, given how much money Qianruo spent on in-game purchases, she was obviously very wealthy in real life. He guessed that the other party was either a company boss or a high-level executive with bonuses, or a rich second generation.

In short, their family background is definitely not bad.

During today's offline gathering, Achen mentioned Qianruo again, but the meaning in his tone was clearly not what he had previously guessed.

It seems to be implying that Qianruo isn't very good-looking?
Shennong's mind raced, and he said with a rather regretful tone, "You're overthinking it. It's basically impossible for me and Qianruo to be together. There are plenty of players in Qingmeng Valley who like her. She is the goddess Qianruo of Qingmeng Valley. She won't descend to the mortal world. How could I possibly be worthy of her?"

"I've known her since the game started. Before she started streaming, I really liked her, but she always kept everyone at arm's length. Besides, she had so many admirers that even though we were in the same guild, I wasn't even in the top ranks. And I guess she didn't care about me either. She spends money on games without hesitation. In reality, she must come from a wealthy family and be beautiful. Why would she even look at a small streamer like me?" Shennong smiled bitterly.

"She's really putting on an act, actually becoming the goddess of Qingmeng Valley," Achen said disdainfully. "So, you see, when you're separated by a screen, nobody knows the real situation. How would you know if the person on the other end is a human or a ghost?"

“Brother, you’re lucky you didn’t succeed. If you had,” Ah Chen shook his head, a hint of fear in his eyes, “you’d probably have nightmares every time you sleep.”

Shennong frowned slightly. It seemed that his guess was correct; Ah Chen did indeed know Qian Ruo in reality.

He could roughly guess how the other person recognized him; it was most likely through Qianruo's social media account.

After starting his live stream, he not only created a fan group but also a separate group for friends to connect with. This group included members from guilds and other people from the live streaming community. Anyone who had played Qingmeng Valley with him was in this group.

Ah Chen could only have recognized Qian Ruo through her social media account.

Judging from the other person's description, Qian Ruo doesn't seem to be very good-looking? In fact... she's quite ugly.

"You seem to know Qianruo?" Shennong finally asked.

Ah Chen put his arm around Shen Nong's shoulder, his tone still disdainful: "I wish I had never met her. You have no idea how disgusting she is. I can't even eat when I think about her now. If I hadn't played games with you and joined that group, I wouldn't have known that Qingmenggu Qianruo was her, and that she was the goddess adored by so many players."

"When I think about how many people call her a goddess, I feel sorry for those players. They have no idea what kind of person the people they admire are like."

"With her looks, she'll never be able to be called a beauty in real life, so she can only pretend to be a beauty online to fool those male netizens."

Seeing Shennong's incredulous expression, Achen simply switched accounts: "Brother, it's fate that we met. Judging from your expression, you haven't completely forgotten Qianruo. Let me expose her true colors for you. Don't think about her anymore. Just focus on your livestream. With your current situation, there are plenty of pretty girls out there. There's no need to hang yourself on Qianruo. Besides, how could someone like her be worthy of you? And as far as I know, her family isn't poor, but they're not exactly wealthy either."

“Spending so much money in Qingmeng Valley, I suspect she uses all her salary to play this game. She might even have taken out loans. This kind of thing is actually very common in the gaming world.” Shennong remained silent, but Achen had already found photos from his high school days on his private social media account. Of course, these photos were found in his classmates' albums.

Actually, there weren't any solo photos of Qian Ruo in the collection. They were either group photos with classmates and teachers, or she was just a background figure for other students. Cell phones were already common back then, and sometimes classmates would take photos and videos in class for fun. He searched around and found a pretty comprehensive collection, making it easy to find photos and videos featuring Qian Ruo.

He saved them all to his album and then sent them to Shennong: "Take a look for yourself. The ugliest woman in the photo, with pimples on her face and looking like she weighs 180 pounds, is the Qianruo you know."

“She was this chubby when she was in school, I can’t imagine what she’ll look like after she starts working. Look at her account, there’s practically no activity. Given how popular she is in Qingmeng Valley, even if she doesn’t show her face, she could at least take some photos of her shadow or back view, right? But there’s nothing there, no information about her life, it’s all blank. She just doesn’t want to reveal what she looks like, afraid that people will notice something’s wrong.”

He certainly didn't have any close friends with Qianruo, nor could he ask her to be his friend. Qianruo didn't seem to get along well with her classmates; she was usually alone. It was quite normal for someone like her to not have friends. Ugly, with bad grades, and fragile and sensitive—who would want to be around someone like that? He figured that after graduation, no one in the class would want to keep her on their friend list.

The only reason I know the other person's account is that they haven't left their high school classmates' group.

That incident at school really disgusted him.

Just because he became Qianruo's deskmate, she fell for him and even wrote about it in her diary. What's worse, someone read the diary aloud. After that, his roommates, who knew him well, often asked him what it felt like to be liked by a fat pig, and even asked him if he wanted to date that fat pig.

Some people even joked that he should go and tease that fat pig, maybe it would be fun.

He was of course not interested and wanted to stay far away from such people; he had absolutely no desire to associate with them.

I never expected that after so many years, I would find out about Qianruo in this way. She's still doing very well in the game and is hailed as a goddess. It's really kind of funny.

Ruan Zhen is still as disgusting as ever.

Bringing his thoughts back, Achen glanced at Shennong, who was looking through photos. Shennong's expression wasn't good; he was probably just as disgusted as Achen.

[Host, Zhou Guangchen just shared the client's high school photos and videos with Shennong, and Shennong is looking at them.] 997 reminded, [He found them in other classmates' photo albums.]

"Has it finally come to this?" A-Zhou asked indifferently, completely unsurprised by the whole situation.

When she recognized Zhou Guangchen, she knew this day would come.

Now, she is more looking forward to Shennong taking action soon.

[It seems Zhou Guangchen still harbors resentment towards the client.] 997 said. (End of Chapter)
