I am the Executioner Dragon, but a cute mod.
Chapter 36: Good heavens! Public opinion has taken a sharp turn for the worse!
After killing the S-class behemoth Dragonborn with unparalleled power, the Dragon Knight's fame soared on the internet.
Those who initially thought Dragon Knight was just a slightly different hero began to learn more about him after discovering that his strength was comparable to an S+ level hero, and quickly became fans of him.
Within three days, Dragon Knight's total number of followers across various platforms exceeded one million, and the topic's popularity soared to ten million...
In the room assigned by League of Legends, Lilith lay on the bed, engrossed in browsing the overwhelming praise for Him online.
Nowadays, if He encounters baseless insults, He won't get anxious like before; instead, He will simply block and delete the offender.
After all, with over a million followers across the internet, there's no need for him to be upset over a single meaningless negative comment; it's not wise to lose sight of the bigger picture for a small gain.
However, while Lilith was admiring the overwhelming praise, she noticed a strange comment. It wasn't unfounded abuse, but rather a well-founded accusation:
[With such strength, why didn't they arrive at the scene sooner? If they had arrived earlier, some people wouldn't have died, and the damage to the city could have been reduced further...]
Upon seeing this comment, Lilith was taken aback. It was indeed true, and she couldn't even find a reason to refute it.
However, if this comment is left unchecked, it may provoke dissatisfaction among passersby and even generate negative feelings towards Lilith.
To become a popular hero, one must reject all discordant voices. So Lilith didn't think too much about it and simply deleted the comment, continuing to leisurely surf the internet.
He thought the matter would pass quickly, but unexpectedly, a few days later, such voices not only did not disappear on the internet, but instead intensified...
"What happened? My approval rating dropped from 21% yesterday to 18%. What's going on?"
That day, Lilith woke up and habitually opened her personal terminal, but unlike the overwhelming praise of the previous days, critical voices began to appear in the public eye.
These voices have turned some of Lilith's fans into skeptical neutrals, while neutral bystanders have seen their favorability towards Lilith plummet, with many wanting a reasonable explanation from her.
But how can this be explained? Lilith became a hero not to save people, but to complete side quest one, which is something that can't be told to anyone.
What about lying?
Once you tell the first lie, you'll inevitably tell a second and a third to cover it up, which is a bad approach.
So Lilith chose to remain silent, and this choice only hastened her descent into the abyss.
Initially, Lilith's fans tried to explain themselves in the face of overwhelming accusations and questions. However, as the number of haters increased, their voices completely drowned out the fans' voices until they could no longer make a ripple.
Lilith witnessed all of this, and although she didn't want to see it happen either, she was powerless to stop it.
"If things continue like this, I'm afraid I'll complete side quest two before I even finish side quest one..."
Lilith frowned, looking helplessly at the negative reviews displayed on her personal terminal. Faced with this situation, there were almost only two solutions if she didn't resort to cheating.
Firstly, they openly play the victim, recounting their tragic family and experiences: a gambling father, a runaway mother, an infant sister, and a broken self, etc., in short, trying to gain sympathy as much as possible.
The second option is more complicated. Lilith would need to give up everything she had built up and withdraw from the public eye. Once the controversy has died down, she could then debut again under a different name. This is a common practice among many disgraced internet celebrities and artists.
"Which method should we use? Maybe we should try them both in order, since they don't conflict..."
As Lilith thought this, she prepared to put it into practice, but before that, she suddenly smelled a rich, salty-sweet aroma in the air. As the aroma entered her nasal cavity, her mouth began to secrete saliva frantically, indicating that she had developed an appetite.
"Boss, dinner's ready! Try my new recipe!"
Just then, Amelia, wearing a small apron, walked out of the kitchen carrying a plate of braised eggplant in both hands. The enticing aroma clearly came from that plate of braised eggplant.
Seeing this, Lilith stopped thinking about the accusations and questions leveled against Him online, since His reputation was unlikely to improve anytime soon.
Since things have come to this, let's eat first.
After those words popped into her mind, Lilith dropped her personal terminal, put on her slippers, and went to the living room.
Looking at the steaming plate of braised eggplant on the table, Lilith eagerly picked up a piece with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth.
The eggplant melted in her mouth, its perfect salty and savory flavor making Lilith's eyes light up, and she couldn't help but gulp down several mouthfuls of rice.
"It's delicious."
Lily didn't hold back her praise; those three simple words made Amelia, who was smiling beside her, blush. After a moment of fluster, she lowered her head and whispered in response:
"I'll keep working hard, boss..."
And so, Lilith happily finished her meal with braised eggplant. Afterwards, she patted her little belly and lay contentedly on the bed, like a salted fish too lazy to turn over.
The soft clinking of porcelain reached her ears, and before her stood a spotless ceiling. At times like these, Lilith would think:
[If I could continue living this peaceful life, it wouldn't be so bad...]
However, it will take some time before she can live such a life. Lilith promised the main god, the orb of light, that she would help him conquer this world, and she can't go back on her word.
After regaining her composure, Lilith reached out and groped around on the bed, finally grabbing her metal personal terminal and habitually opening the forums and communities.
Lilith had prepared herself for a barrage of criticism, but while browsing through the comments, she discovered that the increasingly intense voices that seemed to be attacking her had vanished without a trace in the time it takes to eat a meal.
Lilith frowned slightly, countless ideas flashing through her mind, but she couldn't find the cause of this phenomenon.
[Could it be that an invisible force is at work?]
With that in mind, Lilith decided to look for clues in the forum. As soon as she entered the forum, she keenly noticed a red dot on the message interface.
As someone with mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, Lilith naturally couldn't stand the red dot, so she reached out her finger and tapped into the message interface.
Among them, there were no overwhelming negative reviews, only a stranger's @ comment.
This person is none other than Superman Daddy, who has over a million fans across the internet and a 51% approval rating.
"Superman Daddy? How come it's him? I have absolutely no connection with him, why would he tag me? Could it be that the disappearance of the negative comments is related to Superman Daddy?"
Lilith guessed, and naturally followed the message, clicking into a post that Superman's dad had made not long ago...
