Chapter 442 Lu Chuan Hires Naval Forces to Prepare for Qi Hui's Downfall (2nd Update)
Similar comments kept appearing under Qi Hui's Weibo posts.

Numerous accounts with numbers and random characters began to verify the authenticity of this image.

From light and shadow analysis to shooting angles, from filters to saturation... for a time, everyone on Qi Hui's Weibo was a master photographer.

Average number of people who are addicted to drugs

Faced with this situation, Qi Hui and Hua Yi did not rush to retaliate, but instead remained still, letting the dust settle.
Of course, it's not that we do nothing.
At Qi Hui's signal, Xiao Yang, who was already prepared, began to expand the battlefield.

Reposting events from Weibo to platforms like Tieba and Tianya.
I didn't mean anything by it, but how can someone be the only one doing something like being a public intellectual?
I have to take care of all the guys on Tieba and forum users.
You need to make a lot of friends, then "smack" and press down on them.
Those people are spineless; this scene will scare a few of them away.

Wouldn't that mean there would be far fewer enemies?
Of course, Qi Hui wouldn't wait for the enemy to perish on their own; he wasn't that foolish.
What's more, these people have the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) behind them, the root of all evil.
Mahathir's DOGE hasn't been established yet; the Agency for International Development is still a super-large organization.

However, the fact that Qi Hui and Hua Yi and their ilk are not moving does not mean that netizens are not moving, nor does it mean that Qi Hui's fans are not moving!

"You can really lie through your teeth!"

"Damn it, a bunch of Western-worshipping dogs. Does that mean America can't have any problems?"

"Then tell me, why isn't anyone putting out the fire?"

"The one who claims to be in Los Angeles, if you're so capable, go to the fire scene and film a video!"

"When will the government announce the ownership of IP addresses? I really want to see if these people who are spouting nonsense are telling the truth!"

"Just a bunch of barking, sycophantic dogs!"

"..."

Soon, some prominent public intellectuals couldn't hold back and began to intervene.
The first one to step forward was a familiar face to everyone, Gao Xiaosong.

[Gao Xiaosong: Everything grows according to its own laws. Americans are peaceful and take things in stride. They don't panic or waste public resources over a single event. This is the superiority of their system.]

[Fang Fang: Why are there wildfires? It just shows that the United States has a high vegetation cover, and it just shows that the United States has a good ecology.]

[Yuan Tengfei: Americans are naturally intelligent and wise. They have the ability to put out fires, but they follow the laws of nature and do not interfere with nature. This is also a way of protecting the ecological environment, just as they follow free market economics and Hayek's laws.]

【…】

These words amused netizens.
"Oh my, didn't you previously argue that the photos were fake? Why are you admitting that it really caught fire?"

"You admit that America is on fire!?"

"I came here from Baidu Tieba, just to see what these public intellectuals are like."

"You're from Tianya? Heard there's a good show to watch?"

"Hahaha, this group is so disorganized and undisciplined, they're contradicting themselves in the end."

"Damn, that's incredible. China escalates a small problem to the point of national collapse, while the US is about to set a city on fire and they still say the environment is good?"

"These people have said both good and bad things to us. Do they really think we're fools?"

"..."

The battle on Weibo is fierce, with various factions clashing intensely, exchanging blows back and forth in a lively and exciting manner.

In the aftermath of "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe," facing Qi Hui's attack, Lu Chuanren felt she couldn't just sit idly by and wait to be killed.

So they brought in investors to ask for money, and hired online trolls to prepare to attack Qi Hui.
After several days of hard work, the online army was mobilized and began to refute Qi Hui.

But... nobody paid attention. From the very beginning of this battle with public intellectuals, things like "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe" lost their appeal.
Surfing the internet, only political commentary and pornography are truly interesting.

"Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe" is just a movie, what's the big deal?
Where can I find fun political commentary?
I'll tear you all apart for lying through your teeth!
For a time, netizens' attention shifted away from "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe" and focused entirely on the online arguments with public intellectuals.
Thus, Lu Chuan's powerful attack struck empty air.

Not to mention Qi Hui, even Hua Yi didn't discover this.
What just vanished in an instant?
Lu Chuan was annoyed, frustrated, and angry. Damn it, why did this happen?

His online army was overjoyed; this was a great business opportunity!
No need to argue with people, just send a few messages and the money will come pouring in.
This job is great, please give me more!

Enraged, Lu Chuan decided to intensify her efforts, determined to get Qi Hui!
But his investors aren't stupid; why would they give him money to squander?
Therefore, they stopped this wasteful behavior without hesitation.

Fourth day

Seeing the familiar public intellectuals fall from grace, Qi Hui no longer hesitated.
The video showed firefighters using helmets and traffic cones to scoop water out of a fire, as well as a video of the American Rescue Team rescuing a Stars and Stripes flag and a cat.
It was accompanied by a poem: [Los Angeles, three thousand miles away, once a prosperous land of California, suddenly engulfed in flames, devoid of people, ruler, and law!]

This video suddenly silenced everyone.
At this time, the United States was seen by the Chinese as an invincible force in the world.
With eleven aircraft carriers at its disposal, it wields military might across the world, commanding the submission of all nations wherever it goes.
You can say America is bad, but you can't say America is bad!
But now... damn it!

Why do firefighters use their helmets to scoop water and extinguish fires?
Also, what the heck are traffic cones?

That's one thing, but why are those rescue teams saving cats and flags instead of people?
"It's so outrageous that I can hardly believe it."

"No, what are they all doing? Is this really disaster relief?"

"Damn, the flames are about to engulf us, how can they still be chatting and laughing like that?"

"Is this definitely the United States? Or some small South American country?"

"Outrageous! If this happened here, those officials would be dismissed on the spot and imprisoned!"

"..."

Faced with this shocking scene, even the public intellectuals were stunned.
How can we refute others without violating basic common sense or angering the public?
The public intellectuals suddenly crashed.

What they used to do was smear themselves and then promote the greatness and righteousness of America.
But now the offense and defense have changed!

Qi Hui looked at these silent, paralyzed public intellectuals and found it amusing.

It seems the version is too advanced; they haven't played it before and don't know what to do.

If the game version evolves gradually, increasing in difficulty little by little, these people will still know how to cope.
But Qi Hui directly raided the base; who could stand that?
……

the other side

Huayi seized the opportunity and mobilized its online army to begin a brutal attack on a fallen enemy.
However, Huayi has its own motives; they are not engaging in cognitive warfare, but rather doing so for profit.
Riding the wave of Qi Hui's soaring popularity, they contacted entertainment media and launched a massive coverage campaign for "Mojin: The Lost Legend."

They wanted to use this opportunity to completely establish the reputation of "Mojin: The Lost Legend".

A major fire broke out in Los Angeles during the filming of "Mojin: The Lost Legend"!

[Qi Hui, filming "Mojin: The Lost Legend," encountered the devastating Los Angeles wildfires!]

[To film "Mojin: The Lost Legend," Qi Hui and director Guo Fan braved danger, venturing into a sea of ​​fire!]

Articles and reports appeared in newspapers, on television, and on online platforms.

Coupled with the heated online debates among public intellectuals, "Mojin: The Lost Legend" became a hit even before its release.

"Tsk tsk... Huayi really knows how to time things..." Qi Hui flipped through his tablet, looking at Chen Guofu with a smile.
