After being fed to top-tier orcs, I became the darling of the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 212 Deceiving? Oh no, for the sake of the fluffy creature? She'd do it!
Regarding the online comments that she didn't take good care of the Iron Eater, leading to its poisoning and coma, Liang He believes that these are facts and there's nothing to argue about.

The main reason she wanted to respond was that she didn't want to lose her job as a zookeeper and leave the furry animals she spent every day with.

"I'm going to start a live stream right away."

No matter how much we say, it's better to let netizens see for themselves. Now that the Iron Eater has woken up safely, netizens will surely be happy to see him safe and sound.

Liang He has always been a person of action; once she has made a decision, she will not easily change it.

However, she still consulted with Huo An before starting the live stream.

[You can go live to refute the rumors, but I suggest you don't reveal that Xuan Jiao was once poisoned and fell into a coma.]

Huo An rarely expressed dissenting opinions, or rather, he hoped that Liang He would conceal a crucial part of the matter.

If the rebels knew that Xuan Jiao had been poisoned and fell into a coma, but then regained consciousness without taking the antidote, they would likely become suspicious.

Although Liang He was unaware of the SSS-level orcs, the rebels were well aware of it. Huo An was unsure whether they had researched the toxin on the orcs themselves, and it would be troublesome if Liang He's abilities were exposed.

Even if they try to use the excuse of her special physical condition, given the rebels' relentless pursuit of their goal, they will likely only become more determined to obtain Liang He.

However, Huo An also knew that this alone would not be enough to convince Liang He.

The main concern is that the rebels might target Xuan Jiao because of this, and it would be bad if they wanted to capture him for research.

Liang He, who had initially thought Huo An was being overly pessimistic, immediately shut up upon hearing this.

She doesn't care about her, but if anyone dares to touch her furry pet, she will absolutely not allow it and will not let them get away with it!
I think what you said makes sense. So, how should I explain this to my online friends?

[You could say that Xuanjiao was simply sick, and that the misunderstanding arose because of an incident involving animals poisoning and falling into comas within the reserve.]

As for how to explain it, Huo An had already thought of a reason in his mind.

After much thought, this reason seems the most suitable. In any case, netizens are unaware of the orc evolution period. In their understanding, Xuanjiao possesses human consciousness and should not be easily harmed.

"Alright, I'll do as you say."

Although Liang He doesn't like lying, she's willing to set aside her principles to prevent the Iron-Eating Beast from being targeted by the rebels.

After the two confirmed their story, Liang He logged into the furry zookeeper's account and posted a live stream notification.

[Furry Zookeeper: The claim that the iron-eating beast Xuanjiao was poisoned and fell into a coma is completely false. Welcome to the live stream to find out the truth.]

The discussion about this matter on StarNet has remained high, and Liang He's lack of response has made everyone very dissatisfied, with many believing that she is guilty.

Therefore, when Liang He suddenly spoke out and even directly denied her dereliction of duty, netizens were even more furious.

But when they discovered that Liang He was preparing to start a live stream, they began to wonder if they had really misunderstood Liang He.

With mixed feelings, the number of viewers in Liang He's live stream began to climb rapidly, quickly surpassing ten million online viewers.

"Luckily, I had the foresight to have the servers maintained in advance. Otherwise, given Liang He's popularity, the people in the Information Security Department would probably have had to work overtime all night."

The western governor sat in his office, silently watching the live broadcast, a wave of fear washing over him.

He didn't want his political enemies to accuse him of dereliction of duty.

[Finally, I've witnessed the power of online influencers. I'm just here to join the fun. [So many people.jpg]]

[Does the zookeeper mean the iron-eating animal wasn't poisoned and unconscious? Could he be lying to us? I only believe the truth!]

[She's probably afraid we'll file a joint lawsuit, which will cost her her job and prevent her from making money off the furry kids anymore, so she's trying to play the victim.]

[Please, wasn't it already exposed that she donated all the money she made? On this point, I'm on the blogger's side!] Before the broadcast even started, the chat room was already flooded with both good and bad comments, including some paid trolls hired by the rebels.

However, based on Liang He's previous reputation, most of her fans chose to believe her and give her a chance to explain, while most bystanders were also willing to calmly listen to her explanation.

"Jiaojiao, I'm sorry you might have to work hard later."

Liang He hugged the Iron-Eating Beast and gently stroked it. If she could, she didn't want to disturb its rest.

After all, he had just experienced a long period of poisoning and unconsciousness, and his body was still very weak.

"Hmm~"

The Iron-Eating Beast never refuses Liang He's requests, especially since it can sense Liang He's emotions and remembers her constant protection and companionship during its coma.

Although he didn't know what had happened, he was very willing to help Liang He.

"Thank you, Jiaojiao."

Seeing Xuan Jiao's gentle gaze and response, Liang He's lips curled up slightly. She hugged the Iron-Eating Beast again and cuddled with it for a while before officially starting the live stream.

[It's here! It's here! It's finally starting!]

[Huh? Isn't that a metal-eating beast behind the zookeeper? It looks alright!]

[Oh no, could we have really wronged Liang He, and now we're going to be proven wrong again?]

When Liang He announced her live stream, Commander Nick and the Black Wizard were immediately informed and entered the live stream to gather information about the enemy situation.

The moment they saw the Iron-Eating Beast, their brows furrowed. Could it be that their information was wrong?
"Black Wizard, your newly developed poison, it doesn't have any effect on SSS-level orcs, does it?"

Nick regretted trusting the dark wizard so easily, which had caused such a commotion.

If he fails again, the leader, who is already dissatisfied with him, will surely be furious.

The dark wizard frowned, clearly displeased by Nick's suspicion; it was an insult to his profession!

"Impossible! I tested it on the Spirit Deer Beastmen, and only my specially made antidote can cure the poison."

Other incomplete antidotes would only trigger the toxins in his body to explode instantly, causing them to mutate into a ferocious beast virus.

"Even uninfected orcs should be unconscious and their physical condition should be deteriorating."

The black wizard suspected that the information gathered by Nick's men was inaccurate.

"Could it be that one of your men got the wrong information and mistook the person for someone else?"

If a beastman does fall into a coma due to poisoning, it doesn't necessarily have to be an Iron-Eating Beast. There are so many beastmen in Liang He's area; he doesn't believe that none of them have been poisoned!

On this point, even Commander Nick couldn't be sure the information was accurate.

Previously, the stronghold in the Tianyao Star Reserve was destroyed, and Huo An was on high alert. It was already difficult to get any information, so it was normal for there to be some inaccuracies.

"Since that's the case, let's just take them all down at once. I refuse to believe we won't catch a single one!"

After saying that, Commander Nick called his men and told them to stop focusing on the Iron-Eating Beast and to steer the conversation toward the other orcs.

"I want to see how Liang He proves her innocence amidst the siege of millions!"

La la la~ Happy New Year!
