Cheng Chu's idea was simple: since he didn't believe it, he would pluck one and compare it with the fake flower in the garden.

Then, Cheng Chu casually plucked a flower seedling. In the close-up shot, the audience could clearly see that a seedling with three green leaves was uprooted, revealing the thin, curved white rootstock still covered with brown soil.

Cheng Chu then painstakingly plucked a fake flower from the garden and placed the two side by side in front of the camera.

The Zerg's artificial flowers are exquisitely crafted; the artificial flowers and grass in the garden are so realistic that they can be mistaken for real flowers without touching or examining them closely.

The artificial flowers and plants in the garden may not look like anything special on the surface, but once you pull them out, the answer becomes clear.

Cheng Chu pointed to their distinctly different roots: "Look, the fake ones have no roots."

Only the seedlings he planted had roots.

The base of the artificial flower is a bare stick of some unknown material, wrapped in a grass-green material with a thin, long black metal strip.

Finally, Cheng Chu picked up the flower seedling he had planted with his left hand and the fake flower with his right. He pressed his thumb down on the stem and snapped it in two. The seedling on the left broke crisply in two, while the one on the right, being more resilient, bounced back.

"Look, it's really broken. The fake one isn't broken."

Cheng Chu tried his best to prove that what he said was true and that he was not a liar.

He even crushed the seedling's leaves with his fingers, gently crumbling them. The juice extracted from his two fingertips stained them a pale green. The fake leaves, on the other hand, were impossible for Cheng Chu to tear apart.

"Hey, the leaves are different too."

As he spoke, Cheng Chu looked up in the direction of 0123 and noticed that the comments on the screen were scrolling rapidly.

Cheng Chu looked puzzled, pointing to the still-scrolling comments: "0123, didn't you read it?"

He hadn't heard 0123 read the comments for so long, he thought they had all left and there were no more comments.

0123: "Sir, 0123 has detected vulgar and offensive comments in the live stream chat, which may affect your mental and physical health and cause you to feel bad. Therefore, for your sake, 0123 has automatically stopped reading the comments. We hope you will not be angry with 0123 for taking this initiative."

The 0123 program instruction is to protect Chengchu at all costs, regardless of whether his life is threatened or his physical and mental health is affected; all of this falls within the scope of 0123's protection.

"Ah, is that so? Then... 0123, what are they saying now? Do they believe me? Is Hanae real?"

0123 replied: "Yes, they believed it."

Cheng Chu was somewhat skeptical, so he deliberately said, "Really? Then read it aloud."

0123 refused.

Cheng Chu approached the light screen with suspicion and saw that the number of viewers had somehow jumped to three digits.

This data surprised him. Combined with 0123's refusal to read the comments, he had ample reason to suspect: "0123, are they all... insulting me?"

0123 shook its round metal head from side to side, and said in a very honest mechanical voice, "No, not everyone is cursing you. Half of it isn't cursing."

Chengchu: "..."

That's heartbreaking. Does that mean half of the people are criticizing him?

Cheng Chu had anticipated that his first live stream would have few viewers, or even none at all. But he hadn't expected to be called a fraud on his very first stream. Cheng Chu felt a bit upset; perhaps this line of work wasn't for him.

Cheng Chu politely said goodbye to the viewers in the live stream and ended the broadcast early. Cheng Chu and 0123 cleaned up the venue and went back.

In the lobby, Cheng Chu checked the backend data of the live broadcast room.

At its peak, the number of viewers was nearly five hundred, with people coming and going. In the end, only two hundred viewers remained before the live stream ended.

Half of the two hundred, which means that about one hundred viewers cursed him.

Cheng Chu really wanted to know exactly what he had been scolded for. But 0123 wouldn't read it to him, and he couldn't understand it himself.

Forget it, there's no point in dwelling on this. Cheng Chu quickly gave up on the idea of ​​having 0123 read it to him; at worst, he could learn it himself.

He went to the kitchen, washed his hands, then opened the refrigerator, took out the fruit Mikel had prepared for him that morning, and ate it with relish.

Military Headquarters in the Capital.

Today is Mikel's first day back at work after her honeymoon. As soon as she stepped into the office building, she was met with many subtle glances.

Those with ill intentions were all observing his body for any fresh wounds.

But to the disappointment of some female insects, Mikel walked steadily toward his office, his face rosy and without a trace of blood on him.

In the morning, Mikel first met with Marshal Anaos to learn about the recent arrangements. Then, he was greeted by several groups of concerned and tentative comrades and colleagues in his office. After seeing off the last group, Mikel sat down to rest.

He glanced at the time, turned on his personal computer, and clicked on the live stream link that 0123 had sent him.

Mikel became the first viewer of Cheng Chu's live stream.

At that moment, Elijah appeared at the door carrying a stack of documents, and he used one hand to knock.

"Report."

"Come in." Mikel tapped to send a message on his personal terminal, then looked up at Elijah, indicating that he could begin.

Next, it was Elijah's turn to report.

Mikel listened attentively at first, occasionally raising questions. Later, his expression turned serious, and his finger tapped something on the personal terminal.

Elijah thought he had said something wrong and angered the general. After finishing his report, he stood there nervously, his mind racing.

Did the general know he was slacking off?

Did the general know that he had fought with a female soldier from the neighboring legion a few days ago?

Or did someone report him to the general?

"Is there anything else?" Mikel frowned at Elijah.

Elijah was startled: "No...no."

"If you don't have it, then get off."

"Yes, General."

Elijah put his heels together, saluted Mikel, and turned to leave.

Mikel said, "Wait a minute."

Elijah's heart skipped a beat. He stopped, forcing a smile, and asked, "General, is there anything else?"

"If the live stream gets criticized..." Mikel looked conflicted, hesitant to speak, but finally said, "Never mind, it's fine, you can go now."

"Ah? Yes, General. I'll go now."

Elijah scratched his head, completely bewildered, and left the office.

The live stream was full of people cursing the male insect. Mikel thought for a moment and immediately sent a command to 0123.

[0123, Stop reading bullet comments.]

[Received General's order: "Stop reading bullet comments." 0123 obeys.]

As the number of viewers in the live stream increased, they questioned the authenticity of the male insect's seedlings, and the barrage of insults against the male insect grew louder and louder, which made Mikel furious.

He saw the male insect use a simple and crude method to prove that his seedling was real, but he was still scolded.
