Chapter 119: Continue to Cut Leeks
"The school anniversary is coming." Teacher Feng said standing on the podium.
His students just looked up at him, then lowered their heads in unison.
As always, they didn't give him any face. Class monitor Liu Xingquan didn't bow his head, but his eyes were filled with the request of "Please, teacher, don't come to me again." Teacher Feng coughed and said, "Each class must perform a program."
The class was silent, but the air was filled with the silent roar of "What does it have to do with me?"
"I've decided to give everyone a week to come up with a program. If you can't come up with one, I'll appoint one."
With everyone's unenthusiastic response, the matter was decided.
Chen Yuxin said, "If we don't come up with a suitable program, what will Teacher Feng arrange for us?"
Xiang Zeyu said: "The worst that can happen is that they can drag us up to sing in chorus, which is what we have always done. Or they can let Sun Siyue sing solo."
"No." Sun Siyue didn't even raise her head. She was the best singer in the class.
"You are the big singer in our class. Who else should I look for if not you?"
"I'm busy, don't look for me." Sun Siyue's fingers were tapping on the phone without even looking at him.
"What are you busy with?"
Chen Yuxin smiled and said, "She is watching the world of fur balls."
Xiang Zeyu asked curiously: "The world of fur balls? What is that?"
"You are out of date! It's the live broadcast program that's been very popular recently. The host broadcast the daily lives of six kinds of fur balls. Ah, those fur balls are so cute..." Chen Yuxin dragged out the last syllable.
"What fur ball?"
"It seems to be a new breed of hamster, fluffy like a ball, really cute."
Several other students chimed in: "Yes, I've been watching it recently!!" "I'm watching it too! It's really interesting!"
Sun Siyue finally raised her head and asked Chen Yuxin: "Are you watching too? What kind of fur ball do you like?"
"I prefer white fur balls. They are so cute when they are white."
"Oh, then you are my enemy!!!" Sun Siyue announced coldly, "I am a black-haired ball pusher."
"But isn't it good to love and hate each other?" Chen Yuxin said, holding her face, "What a great couple tension."
"No. The White Army stabs our Xiao Hei with a knife every day, openly or secretly. We can't bear this kind of love. Please let Xiao Bai walk independently, and don't tie up our Xiao Hei."
A boy next to him, Shen Liwen, laughed and said, "You Xiaohei are so weak, but now you have so many fans. I think it's all because of playing pitiful games."
"No way! It's obviously those other fur balls that are bullying our Xiao Hei!" Sun Siyue's face turned red, and she looked like she was going to fight to the end with Shen Liwen.
Gao Yuan jumped over and shouted, "I'm the brown-haired Tui! Is there anyone who shares the same country with me?"
Sun Siyue raised her eyebrows: "Are you a brown pusher?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"You are like Lu Bu in the ball! I'm talking about you brown pushers!"
"It's just a change of camp, why is it Lu Bu now?" Gao Yuan protested.
Chen Yuxin looked at her phone and said, "News from the live broadcast just now, the alliance between Xiaozhong and Xiaohong has been dissolved. Xiaozhong is now an ally of Xiaolan."
"Wow, this camp changes so quickly."
"Let me tell you, Xiao Zong is Lu Bu!"
"Only twice." Gao Yuan looked quite happy. "How clever! I like it."
"There's something wrong with your outlook on life!!"
"What nonsense! Xiao Zhong has the potential to be a leader." Gao Yuan spread his hands, "A weakling like Xiao Hei will be eliminated sooner or later."
Shen Liwen followed suit and said, "I second the motion."
“You guys are going too far!!”
Xiao Zhen, who had been listening to his classmates' discussion for a long time, found that he could actually keep up with the topic. The classmates were discussing his furry cockroach ranch. Now Mr. Cat is running his furry cockroach ranch successfully.
Live streaming is a big hit nowadays, and the fur balls have been transformed into super cute fluffy looks, coupled with the element of competition, which has attracted many locals and aliens to watch the fun. Unknowingly, the number of fans has increased, and they are becoming more and more loyal.
Under Chen Yuxin's guidance, Xiao Zhen curiously went to the Maoqiu World forum and found that there were quite a few die-hard fans. However, the forum was not very peaceful. Although the forum owner has always advocated peaceful discussions, the confrontation between the Maoqiu fans was quite fierce, which led to the fights between the fans of each group. Nowadays, in addition to the main Maoqiu World forum, each Maoqiu has its own separate forum, Weibo has marketing promotion accounts created by the fans, and Douban also has its own groups. In addition, Xiao Hei's fans also built a website for Heimaoqiu.
Xiao Zhen took a casual look and found that the fiercest fights were between the white fans and the black fans. Because the current situation in the Kingdom of Fur Balls is indeed that the white fans are suppressing the black fans. The white fans can't help but feel complacent, and denounced the black fans as resentful fans and waste fans. This name stirred up a hornet's nest. In the live broadcasts of the past few days, the white fans snatched the insect fungus that the black fans had just grown. Seeing their sons in such a miserable state, the black fans were heartbroken. Seeing the white fans being so rude again, the black fans immediately launched a campaign to overthrow the bar, claiming that the bar owner himself was a white fan and could not maintain order in the bar fairly. So the two groups of fans started a war directly in the bar, each holding their own opinions and spitting foul language to tear each other to death.
In the end, the forum owner was replaced, and Xiao Baifen directly quit the Maoqiu's World forum, temporarily ending the fight.
Although the war on Tieba is over, the war on Weibo is not over. The head of the black fans wrote a long Weibo post with tearful words, accusing the white fans of belittling the black fans and their fans in daily discussions, and added a prize worth 666 yuan to ask for forwarding. After the black fans' poster was forwarded, the white fans followed closely and posted a long Weibo poster, the content of which was to fight against the black fans, break the black fans' poster and false brainwashing package, and then set the prize for forwarding the lucky draw to 888 yuan.
These two long tweets were quickly shared by fans of both groups, who were offering prizes. When Xiao Zhen went to watch, the prizes of both the black and white fans had accumulated to nearly 10,000 yuan.
"..." After learning a little about the ecology of the Maoqiu World fan circle, Xiao Zhen said to Chen Yuxin, "Just now you said in front of Sun Siyue that you are a white fan. It's really not easy for Sun Siyue, a die-hard black fan, not to jump up and beat you up."
"Hahaha, because she can see that I'm just a fake fan who only knows how to play Cloud." Chen Yuxin laughed.
“Are there still real fans and fake fans?”
Chen Yuxin nodded: "Yes, real fans are those who spend money. Fake fans like me just watch videos."
"Then classmate Sun Siyue is a true fan."
"Yes, did you see the black fur ball pendant hanging on her schoolbag? She bought it with real money."
Xiaozhen turned her head and saw that there was indeed a cute black fur ball doll pendant hanging on Sun Siyue's schoolbag.
There are even peripherals! ! !
After Xiaozhen returned home, she rushed to the room and found Mr. Cat, who was typing on the computer.
"Mr. Cat!" Xiao Zhen shouted, "The fur balls even have surrounding areas!!!"
"Yes." Mr. Cat turned around and said, "There was a very fierce fight between white and black fur ball fans on the Internet. So I immediately found a local supplier and ordered a batch of fur ball dolls."
"Your train of thought switches a little too quickly."
"After my observation of Homo sapiens, I know that the fan fights are all about gaining a greater voice. When the black fans and white fans fight to the end, they must be given an outlet to vent their anger. That is to provide official krypton gold."
"ah?"
"Both the black fans and the white fans want to prove that their love is real, so the best way is to spend money. As the official, I provide peripherals, so that fans can spend money to buy them to vent their anger, and let them compete to see who is the real power. Well, you see, the black fur ball doll is sold out again. My subordinates are contacting the Yiwu supplier to order more."
"Do you, the Eyes of Supervision, really have nothing to do!!!"
"I'm very busy." Mr. Cat replied calmly. In fact, he asked his subordinates Ma Jingshi and Luo Ken M89 to hire a group of water army to post online and stir up trouble everywhere. These water army's strategies are varied. Sometimes they pretend to be Xiaobai fans, and say a lot of words that are derogatory to Xiaohei fans, which is enough to make Xiaohei fans' blood vessels burst. Then they let the water army lurk in Xiaohei groups and post screenshots of these provocative fishing remarks everywhere, stirring up trouble until Xiaohei fans want to strangle all Xiaobai fans along the network line. Then they change the tricks and perform it again. When they encounter a real fan fight, these water army will immediately post the sales chart, mocking the other party's purchasing power and cooking power. The water army will pick one after another, jumping left and right, having a lot of fun.
The sales of the black fur ball doll on the screen were soaring, and the white fur ball was closely behind. Looking at the numbers jumping continuously, Xiao Zhen silently calculated the profits made by Mr. Cat in this wave, and couldn't help but curse Mr. Cat inwardly, thinking that every cell of his body was thinking about how to make money from the leeks.
Mr. Cat not only customized dolls of black and white fur balls, but also fur ball dolls of four other countries. Although the sales are not as high as the black and white ones, the fans are also very supportive. What surprised Xiaozhen is that the red fur ball is currently the least popular. The brown fur ball has attracted a lot of criticism and fans have left because of changing allies twice in a row, but this controversy has also won them discussion and attention. Now they have more and more haters, but their fans are becoming more and more loyal. Currently, they are ranked third in popularity.
In addition to various fur ball dolls, Mr. Cat also launched a series of peripheral products such as cartoon fur ball acrylic keychains, fur ball camp teacups, fur ball clay figurines, scarves, parasols, etc. Because the fur balls are extremely cute in appearance, and the cuteness is doubled after the cartoon two-dimensionalization, these things have been highly praised and loved by fans since they were launched.
“…”
“If we don’t promote it now while there is discussion, when will we wait?” Mr. Cat was very calm.
"You can shut up now."
Xiao Zhen stood beside the greenhouse box and looked at the current ecology of these fur balls. Now the six fur ball countries have not started a war or broadcast live, and the kingdom is peaceful. He noticed that each fur ball family sent a fur ball. They ran to the public area in the center of the kingdom. The six fur balls kept a certain distance, carefully stood close to the center, and then began to shake their fur.
"What are they doing? "
"Wait for your angel to come. In the past, your clay figurine would take the elevator to this location every time at this time."
"I know they're waiting for the clay figurines. But why are they shaking their fur?"
"Oh, this is the behavior pattern that each family is imitating last time. The last time your clay figurine descended, a fur ball messenger was shaking its fur. The other fur balls believed that its shaking fur behavior was related to the arrival of the clay figurine. Perhaps the pious gesture touched the gods, so shaking fur has become a fixed ritual for them."
“…”
"It can be said to be a kind of religious ritual. I also found that this hair shaking behavior even has a teaching mode."
"Teaching mode?"
"Well, the six fur ball messengers in the central area this time can be called priests who have mastered the skill of shaking their fur. They also have several small fur balls in their own residences. I have observed that these small fur balls, in addition to cleaning the priests' residences, mainly learn the priests' shaking fur skills. Those who learn the best can get relatively fresh food."
"What kind of useless apprenticeship is this?"
"It's obvious that this is to be passed down . Please, God, behave properly."
Xiao Zhen shut up. He stared at the flourishing fur ball kingdom for a long time. He noticed that there was already a division of labor among the fur balls. Some fur balls of obviously lower status were busy pushing small stones, and in the territories of the white and gray fur balls, there were even some small black fur balls working.
"These are the little black eggs that we stole that have hatched. They are slaves."
“…Even this is available.”
"Yes, the slaves eat the leftovers of the white and gray fur balls. The black fur balls they give birth to are also slaves."
“……”Xiao Zhen didn’t want to make any comments now.
He returned to his computer desk and sat down.
The alarm suddenly started sounding, which was an alert for An Yuan to come to his room.
Xiao Zhen took a quick look at her room and found that it was safe.
An Yuan opened the door. She said, "Xiao Zhen, Wei Jingjing is here to see you." Her eyes became strange again.
Xiao Zhen went downstairs and saw Wei Jingjing, the well-behaved slime mold lady, sitting in the living room waiting for him.
