What?! My anime figures have all come true!

However, some are happy while others are sad.

Just as Ding Jiafang was celebrating his victory, the person who had been compared to "Light Yagami" by Chen Xiao was no longer able to laugh at all.

He never expected that Cat Grass (Ding Jiafang) could actually get such strong support.

They turned the entire stage into a one-woman show.

"Damn it! It's always you! It's always you! Why are you always going against me? Even though you're retiring, you still have to come and provoke me!"

In fact, [Today's Young Master]'s reasons for joining the ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games) community are not pure. In terms of both his account's followers and personal wealth, he completely surpasses Ding Jiafang, the student.

The two would normally never have crossed paths.

However, their career paths overlapped, resulting in some overlap in their fan bases, which led to comparisons between the two.

This made his impurities increasingly apparent to his fans, and ultimately, his reputation collapsed instantly after he released a video criticizing anime.

If that were all, it wouldn't be enough to justify his hostility towards Ding Jiafang, since the other party hadn't done anything.

However, the biggest difference between reality and fiction is that hatred and hostility sometimes do not need a reason!

In addition, the two songs performed by Ichiji Nijika and the others on stage also had a significant impact on [Today's Flower City Prince], but it was a negative one.

The more he understood the meaning of the song, the more he felt like a rat in the gutter, without a trace of 'youth' on him. He was clearly better off than the average person in terms of wealth and status, but he just couldn't stand the light of day!

Yes, just like how I manipulated a mouse to chew through the power cord of the audio equipment in order to get disgusting catnip...

"etc!"

At that moment, a wicked thought suddenly welled up in his mind.

Why can't I let the mouse bite that guy?

And those four women...

They're all accomplices of that guy! Let's bite them all too!

Thinking of this, a smile reappeared on [Today's Young Master of the City]'s face, twisted like a clown's maniacal laughter.

He then strode out of the venue, picked two leaves at random, and like a country boy with nothing better to do, he walked along while blowing a peculiar melody on the leaves.

squeak...

A short while later, the squeaking of several mice came from the sewers at the edge of the venue.

"Yes! Follow my instructions... go and bite that man! And those four girls with him!"

At this moment, [Today's Young Master of the City] no longer cared about what would happen if the rats in the sewers bit someone; all he could think about was getting revenge on that annoying colleague!

Although the rats in the south are small enough to be easily spotted by anyone, guided by his flute music, these rats seemed to have become sentient, evading the sight of one person after another.

They quickly found Ding Jiafang, Ichiji Nijika, and others sitting backstage eating.

"Bite! Go bite them! Treat them as food!"

Boom-!

But with a loud slam of the door, the mice that were just about to pounce inside were instantly sent flying by the door and lost control.

He might have been knocked unconscious by the door.

"hateful!"

[Today's Young Master of Huadu] cursed under his breath.

Fortunately, he didn't let all the rats rush up at once; a few survivors managed to escape through the ventilation ducts...

"Hey! There really is a 'mouse' in the venue!"

As a mocking voice rang out, the remaining mice also lost control.

"Huh?"

[Today's Young Master of Huadu] stood there stunned for a few seconds, then felt a chill creep up his spine.

"Something's not right...something's really not right! Could it be that I've been discovered?! No way, no way..."

Muttering to himself, "[Today's Flower City Young Master]" immediately threw away the leaf in his hand and quickly blended into the crowd at the comic convention, intending to leave just like that.

However, as he walked, he found himself somehow entering a dark alley.

"How...how did I get here?"

[Today's Flower City Young Master] feels like he's encountered a ghost.

I was clearly following the crowd towards the exit of the venue, surrounded by people. How could I have inexplicably left the group and ended up in a place like this?!

and……

"Impossible! How could this be! In a metropolis like Shanghai, how could any ghost possibly perform the art of breaking through walls?!"

This statement seems to suggest that such a thing is contrary to common sense.

Then, footsteps echoed from the depths of the alley.

Da da da……

"Who goes there?!"

[Today's Young Master of the City] was so tense that his voice cracked when he shouted.

"It seems there are still many secrets in this world that I don't know..."

A person whose face was obscured strolled out from the depths of the alley, holding something that looked like a TV remote control and tapping it like a folding fan.

"That's really interesting."

Glug...

[Today's Young Master of Huadu] couldn't help but swallow.

Have I encountered a criminal with superpowers?

Before he could speak, the person opposite him slowly raised his right hand, which was holding the remote control, struck a cool pose, and said:

"So...count your sins!"

"There are quite a few things like that... Wait! Who are you?! Why are you looking for me?"

Overwhelmed by the other party's imposing manner, [Today's Young Master of the City] subconsciously uttered some outrageous words, then quickly stopped himself and sternly questioned the hooded man's identity.

"The sound equipment in the venue was chewed through by rats, wasn't that your doing?"

The other party did not answer, but instead asked, "[Today's young master of the city]?"

That's right, it was Chen Xiao who blocked him here.

From the very beginning, Chen Xiao had been monitoring [Today's Young Master]'s actions. He just didn't expect that this guy would suddenly think of using superpowers to attack people, and even his few words just now revealed new worldview information.

Don't just release DLC so casually!

Chen Xiao couldn't help but curse inwardly.

It seems I really do have the "protagonist" (troublemaker) constitution; I always seem to run into trouble, whether I go out or not.

"You...you're that catnip's friend?!"

Upon hearing Chen Xiao's question, [Today's Young Master of the City] was taken aback at first, but then immediately understood.

Aside from the convention organizers, the only person who would ask such a question is someone connected to Maocao (Ding Jiafang). Excluding the four girls who performed on stage, the only other possibility is the mysterious friend who went backstage with Maocao...

That guy even has a friend with superpowers!

Thinking of this, his hatred intensified.

"Hey, can't you be a little stupid, as a villain?"

Chen Xiao wasn't too surprised to find his identity guessed; he just muttered a complaint under his breath.

"Ha! Hahaha... Well, you're really unlucky!"

At this moment, [Today's Flower City Young Master], who was originally nervous and uneasy, suddenly burst into laughter.

Humanity’s greatest fear comes from the unknown.

Now that he knows the other party's identity, there's naturally nothing to be afraid of!

After all, what kind of important background could a poor student's friend possibly have?

Then [Today's Young Master of the City] took out a rough, milky-white flute and put it to his lips to play!

Squeak squeak squeak squeak...

The next moment, countless rats swarmed out from every corner of the alley and pounced on Chen Xiao!

"Rats again. To be honest, the alleyway and the rats remind me of a bad memory."

Chen Xiao remained calm and composed.

Then, in front of [Today's Young Master of Huadu], he raised his right hand and gently pressed a button on the remote control.

The swarming group of rats stopped abruptly.

Today's young master of Huadu: ?
