Chapter 276: Chapter 153: Trending on Video, Martial Artists Meet Grandmaster Zhang_2

”Don’t others know how fierce tigers are? Don’t you? Why don’t you just say that the concerned citizen is the reincarnation of Wu Song!”

”Excessive force in law enforcement is just that. Why babble so much nonsense? We’re not blind, okay!”

”Folks, who can relate? Encountering such a shameless official account boasting about excessive force is one thing, but the real kicker is that they remain stubborn and shift the blame onto the concerned citizen after being exposed. With officials like these, I’m seriously done.”

”......”

Seeing these comments in the comment section, the people from the Yiling Forestry Bureau’s PR department were really having a headache.

If they didn’t explain the matter, netizens would be unhappy, relentlessly seeking an answer. But when they did explain and shared the truth, these netizens were still damn displeased, full of doubts and sarcastic remarks.

Lying didn’t work, and when they told the truth, the netizens wouldn’t believe it.

So what exactly do you guys want us to do!

This official account might as well be run by you guys.

Explain however you like!

”This generation of netizens is really hard to manage!”

Looking at the comment section where five out of ten comments were questioning, a person from the PR department rubbed his head and said, clearly exasperated.

Hearing his words, others nodded in agreement.

More than just hard to manage!

These netizens are simply impossible to manage!

They’re so suspicious, not believing a word we say.

Seriously, are you guys treating us like thieves?

We’re an official account, for heaven’s sake; everything we post is verified. Could we possibly post nonsense?

Though the content does indeed seem a bit outrageous.

But setting the facts aside, can’t you guys just play along and believe a little?

This world is so vast; anything is possible.

Is it really that hard for one in 1.4 billion people to be a tough guy who can take down a tiger?

”Sigh!”

People from the Forestry Bureau’s PR department all sighed together. Helplessly placing their hands on their keyboards, they started pondering how to explain this matter so that the netizens would believe.

Before they could figure it out, the narrative in the comment section suddenly shifted.

Realizing this, the Yiling Forestry Bureau’s PR personnel quickly looked. They discovered the reason for this change: it was because of a few interview videos!

They randomly clicked on one, and the screen switched to a new interview video released by the ”Beautiful Yiling” news account.

In the video, a reporter held a portable microphone, extending it to a man whose face was pixelated, and asked his question, ”Grandmaster Zhang, are you a Martial Artist?”

”Yes!” the man in the video replied.

”Then what are your thoughts on this incident of subduing the tiger on the mountain? What goes through your mind when you face a tiger alone? Aren’t you scared?” the reporter asked again.

”Scared? Of course, I was scared! Anyone would be frightened if a tiger suddenly leaped out while they were in the mountains, deep in their Martial Arts Training. When I saw it, I was so excited—COUGH, COUGH—I mean, extremely panicked! I just reacted instinctively and fought back. I never expected that, for all its imposing and majestic appearance, the tiger would barely last two moves against me before collapsing unconscious. It left me completely unsatisfied. As for what I want to say... ummm... going up the mountain to fight a tiger is a very dangerous thing to do. Plus, tigers are a Class I nationally protected animal in our country. Unless absolutely necessary, please do not imitate this.”

Staring at the camera, the man said these words.

Listening to his words, both the netizens and the members of the Forestry Bureau’s PR department who had come to inquire had extremely bizarre expressions. Although there was no evidence, they all had a feeling that as the man in the video spoke, his mouth, hidden beneath the pixelation, was twisted into a huge grin!

”You call that being scared? Is that how your family shows fear?”

”Don’t think we didn’t hear it; you definitely blurted out ’excited’! You absolutely wanted to say that you were extremely excited, didn’t you!”

”Wow, so you’re telling me there are actually people in this world tough enough to take on a tiger single-handedly?”

”Totally fake, I’m calling it! Bro, I just saw this news from the Yiling Forestry Bureau, and someone’s already clout-chasing this fast? These small media outlets will really do anything for clicks these days. If this is real, I’ll livestream myself eating a shoe, okay!”

”Uh... well, is it possible that this ’Beautiful Yiling’ news account is our Yiling City’s most followed, most authoritative media outlet aside from the official ones?”

”Yiling local here, and I totally agree with the bro above. ’Beautiful Yiling’ is indeed one of the biggest media outlets in our city!”

”Damn, how is that possible? I don’t believe it! There’s no way such a badass exists in this world! You guys are 100% deceiving me!”

”TSK! The way you’re talking, can’t you use your brain a little? Why would we be bored enough to lie to you? Besides, it’s not just ’Beautiful Yiling’ that released this interview; two other local Yiling news stations also published it. We can’t all be colluding just to fool you, can we? Are you dense or something?”

”So according to you all, this thing is real? SHEESH~~ That’s a bit too mind-blowing, huh? Wu Song fighting a tiger became fricking real?”

”That, I can’t say for sure. But for now, this incident has a certain degree of credibility. If you’re really not convinced, just click the @mention in the title and check out that person’s homepage. I took a quick look; there are quite a few Martial Arts Training videos. Personally, I don’t think this is fake!”
