Livestream Conflict-solver: The Whole Internet Begs Me for Justice!

168: Protect our Ark God! Let him lead us to victory!Jianghai City under the night sky was glittering with colorful lights.

Zhang Ze drove with one hand, the other resting on the car window, the evening breeze ruffling his hair.

Now this is the life.

Fighting and killing is boring; strategizing and achieving victory from a thousand miles away

—that is the correct way for a domineering CEO to operate.

Although, this CEO’s frequency of personally working on the front lines is a bit high.

He returned to the villa at Zijin Villa.

Zhang Ze unlocked the door with his fingerprint, and the entryway light turned on automatically.

The huge living room was empty and quiet enough to hear his own breathing.

It was too quiet.

He subconsciously called out.

”I’m home.”

There was no response.

Only the villa’s smart housekeeper system replied in an electronic voice: ”Welcome home, Mr. Zhang.”

Only then did Zhang Ze remember that Sera had already returned to the USA.

With that blonde, blue-eyed girl gone, the whole house lacked a bit of vitality.

He took off his jacket, tossed it onto the sofa, and sank into the cushions.

Previously when he returned, he would always see a figure pounce on him, bringing a fragrant breeze and a passionate hug.

Now, there was only the cold leather sofa.

He really wasn’t used to it.

Emptiness, loneliness, cold.

Zhang Ze pulled out his phone and opened the chat window with Sera. The latest message was still yesterday’s ”Landed safely.”

He thought for a moment and typed a line: ”Baby, what are you doing?”

Then he felt it was too mushy and deleted it.

He re-typed: ”The house feels a bit empty.”

He felt like he was complaining again, so he deleted that too.

Finally, he sent three words.

”Miss you.”

She replied almost instantly with a passionate hug emoji, followed by a grammatically incorrect Chinese sentence: ”I miss you too! You finally ’fat back’!”

’Fat back’... Zhang Ze smiled. This foreign girl’s Chinese level was still so worrying.

Putting down his phone, he looked around the huge living room, feeling bored.

Being alone really was dull.

Why not find some fun?

A thought flashed through his mind, and he quietly started a live stream.

”family members, I’m back.”

No opening speech, no announcement. Zhang Ze slumped on the sofa and greeted the empty space.

As soon as the live stream screen lit up, the number of online viewers started from zero and skyrocketed at a terrifying speed.

One thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand... The bullet comments exploded simultaneously.

[A wild God Zhou has been captured!]

[Holy crap! God Zhou, you finally started streaming! I thought the CEO of the Southeast Asia branch company forcibly kept you!]

[Brother Ze! You’ve lost weight! And you’re darker! Were you suffering over there?]

[Don’t talk nonsense! That’s called bronze skin, a symbol of health! He’s even hotter, okay!]

[God Zhou, God Zhou! I have memorized your entire speech at the airport! When are you publishing a book? I’ll buy a hundred copies!]

Zhang Ze looked at the bullet comments and cleared his throat.

”Ahem, low-key, low-key.”

”What suffering? That was going to experience life and feel the simple folk customs of a foreign land.”

The style of the bullet comments instantly changed.

[Simple folk customs (referring to an AK pressed against the waist)]

[Experiencing life (referring to continuous shelling as fireworks)]

[Brother Ze, stop pretending. Did you make that female reporter shut down?]

[To be honest, my company’s PR department held an overnight meeting to study God Zhou’s speech and treats it as a standard!]

”Can you people have a more positive mindset?” Zhang Ze straightened up. ”I am a legitimate businessman, an entrepreneur dedicated to promoting international friendship and peaceful development. Do not slander my reputation out of thin air.”

”As for that reporter friend at the airport, we just conducted a friendly, in-depth business exchange. There was no ’shutting down’ involved.”

[Understood, in-depth exchange (physical)]

[Brother Ze, stop talking about business, it’s tiring. Show us your local specialties? We heard they were pretty hard-core?]

[Yeah, yeah! We heard Shawa’s CEO sent a box of large gold bars? Let us take a look!]

Zhang Ze rolled his eyes.

”Nonsense! We are a legitimate company with strict discipline. How could we possibly accept things like that?”

”What Shawa sent were just some local fruits, like durians and mangosteens. I already had Feifei distribute them to the company staff as a benefit. Everyone must believe in my character.”

[I believe you, my foot!]

[It’s over. Judging by Brother Ze’s tone, the gold bars must have been pocketed.]

[Brother Ze: I didn’t take them. But whoever picked them up, they belong to them.]

Talking to these silly netizens, he would be led astray sooner or later.

Zhang Ze decided to change the subject.

”Just chatting is boring.” He stood up and, walking toward the second floor, said to the camera, ”I just got back today, so I’m putting on a show for the Brothers.”

”I’ll take you guys to experience what a gaming room looks like for a ’Money Power’ player.”

The viewers in the live stream immediately became excited upon hearing this.

[Are you going to play games! Take me, take me!]

[God Zhou’s gaming room? I watched when you streamed the renovation last time. That’s not a room, that’s an internet cafe!]

[Here we go, here we go! Time for the old man’s fun!]

Zhang Ze pushed open a door on the second floor.

What met his eyes was an extremely high-tech setup. Three curved screens were pieced together into an ultra-wide main monitor, almost covering the entire wall. The left side was for data monitoring, and the right side was dedicated to live stream bullet comments.

The ergonomically designed gaming chair looked expensive.

On the desk, a cool mechanical keyboard and mouse set glowed with RGB light.

Professional streaming sound cards and microphones were also placed nearby.

”Come on, showtime.”

Zhang Ze plopped into the chair. The computer automatically booted up, displaying the cool logo of the Guardian company on the desktop.

”Today we’ll play something easy, let’s play Chicken Dinner.”

He skillfully clicked on the game icon and logged into his account, ”A Lone Boat on the River and Sea.”

”Same old rule, viewer match. The password is four eights. First come, first served.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the room he created instantly filled up.

[Grass! A type of plant! I couldn’t squeeze in again!]

[Brothers who got in, please take out God Zhou for me as soon as you land! I’ll send you a rocket gift!]

[The person upstairs has no vision! Protect our God Zhou! Let him carry us to Chicken Dinner!]

The game started.

Zhang Ze’s character appeared in the starting lobby. He did nothing but stand still, and a large crowd immediately gathered around him.

”Don’t shoot, we’re on the same side!”

”God Zhou! I’m a fan of yours from ten years ago!”

”Brother Ze, look at me, look at me! I’ll dance for you!”

Zhang Ze said nothing and immediately muted the nearby voice chat.

The plane took off, and the flight path passed over P City.

”Alright, this is the spot. Today I’ll show you what it means to be the Overlord of P City.”

He marked the location and was the first to jump out.

Dozens of figures, like dumplings being dropped, followed his marker and descended in dense clusters.

The entire P City instantly turned into a ”God Zhou Fan Meetup.”
