Chapter 1207: New Friend

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Everyone was surprised that [Gluttonous Blue Fish] had suddenly showed up in Sihwa’s livestream. She might have been moved by Sihwa’s benevolence, and her sincerity in coming personally to apologize had spoken for itself. The fans didn’t say anything too harsh to trouble her. They merely asked her to learn her lesson and fix her attitude, not give up, try harder, and come back again.

She seemed accepting of everyone’s comments. Even if there was an occasional comment that was still angry about what had happened and was harsher with their words, she let it go it silently instead of trying to fend for herself.

The attitude that [Gluttonous Blue Fish] had surprised Sihwa—was this really the person who’d tried to throw her under the bus? She didn’t seem like it.

Outside, Old Time Tea watched the whole event unfold from behind Zhang Zian, nodding approvingly. “Feuds between two people are better untied than not. Zian, your suggestion was good. Sihwa has gained one more friend rather than another enemy. Of course, if [Gluttonous Blue Fish] is only apologizing on the surface but still holds hate in her heart, she won’t be able to do much now anyway.”

Zhang Zian smiled. “All this is thanks to your teaching, Old Time Tea.”

“What about the others?” Fina asked, not moving an inch.

“She’s an example to deter the rest from playing the same tricks. The others have received their warnings and will be on their guard. It wouldn’t be as easy to go and deal with them now…” Zhang Zian said. “Besides, I don’t think it’s good for Sihwa to be in the spotlight so much. If we make so many enemies in such a short time, we might attract the attention of the super-streamers.”

Old Time Tea nodded. “I agree. The person that stands out dies first. After this incident, Sihwa’s name will be out there. We should try to lie low right now and use the chance to grow ourselves. We aren’t looking for viral growth. She’s still young, and she isn’t a match for those long-running popular streamers.”

Vladimir agreed too. “Sow our seeds, widen our horizons, and don’t claim King! Even though I don’t quite understand online streaming, that principle can be applied to all aspects of life! Sihwa should use peace and love as her guide to gather all the small streamers together and fight for the diversification of the streamer circle!”

Zhang Zian was silent. That seemed a little far-fetched, but it made sense.

There was not a single other streamer who’d stood up for her despite her trouble, and that meant that she had no other friends in the streamer circle. If they could use this opportunity to make some friends in the meantime, they could turn this bad period into a good one.

Using [Gluttonous Blue Fish] as the sacrificial lamb was a decision he’d made after ample thought.

Pi had given him a detailed list of the IDs and real names of the streamers who had bad-mouthed Sihwa, as wells as the details of the fans who had coerced other people or employed keyboard-warriors, listing everything carefully in the Word document. Anything that it thought might be useful was in there.

But it wasn’t good to have too much information, either. It was messy. It was already a great feat that it had used one whole day to find out all of this. He hadn’t expected it to organize all of it, too.

The question now was how to make use of the information that he had before him.

It would be stooping too low to just expose all of these people’s chat logs and personal information, and it would just make a huge commotion that they couldn’t control. The best way was to make a sacrificial lamb out of one of them.

After filtering through, he found out that the streamer [Gluttonous Blue Fish] was a more organized one. She had her things in their places at home. Everything had its own spot. Even the tissue box had a fixed location.

She had a series of habitual actions that she went through while she was streaming, like always placing her spare phone on the left while the main phone was on the right and always needing to check her messages while gaming. Her eyes would always drift toward the phone, whether it was a conscious action or not.

So he had his target locked on [Gluttonous Blue Fish] and made Sihwa read out her name while he prepared behind the scenes. He borrowed a phone from Du Xuetao, changing the SIM card in it to one of Egypt’s SIM cards and keying each number from [Gluttonous Blue Fish]’s phones into each of the phones. He waited for her to deny that she had two phones. She had a huge chance of that, since in previous streams, she’d had the conversations in her spare phone to make up a pure and innocent image before the camera.

If it hadn’t been for Pi’s detailed investigations of her habits and details of her livestreams, it wouldn’t have been easy trying to make her admit to her dirty deeds.

As for the other streamers who’d tried to defame Sihwa, they were usually more casual in their habits, their phones left anywhere. Some of them had dual SIM cards with two Wechat accounts in one phone, so it would be difficult to target them. Even Pi wouldn’t have been able to predict their reactions after getting exposed, so it would be better to just leave after dealing with [Gluttonous Blue Fish], leaving behind a powerful image to strike fear in the others’ hearts.

Right then, another wave of action swept through the audience.

“Did you hear? A streamer came to apologize to Sihwa of their own accord!”

“Really? Which one? What’s the room number?”

“It’s a singing male streamer called [Golden Throat Monkey]! Go look it up yourself!”

“Hurry and go watch!”

“Leave no man behind! Leave no stone unturned!”

Zhang Zian had a vague impression of the ID. It was a part of Pi’s list, but he’d never expected the threat to leave such a huge impression, so much that someone immediately apologized and acknowledged their mistake.

Plus, after this person, there were another two or three streamers who publicly apologized. Even though this was only a small part of the list, it had caused a ripple to go through the livestream app.

They initially admitted their mistakes, maybe not only because of the threat, but because of the big-hearted forgiveness they saw that [Gluttonous Blue Fish] had received after her apology. If Sihwa had chosen to strike [Gluttonous Blue Fish] at her lowest, the others might have chosen to fight till the end instead.

As for the other streamers who had yet to show their remorse, they could give them some time to think and mull over it. Even if they eventually chose silence, they would definitely still live in fear for the rest of their lives.

They could say that a curtain had been drawn on this chapter.

Sihwa had a pleasant conversation with [Gluttonous Blue Fish] in her livestream and had long forgotten about all the unhappy things. Of course, it was because the other had accepted her as she was and treated her with respect and admiration, so she felt better than before.

Zhang Zian looked at the time. Sihwa had had her fun, but he had wasted an entire day in the hotel. He walked to the bathroom door, giving her a hand signal, asking her to end the livestream.

Sihwa was still happily chatting and didn’t want to end it right then. She pretended not to see him and didn’t end the livestream until Zhang Zian had promised to bring her elsewhere to stream.

He kept her in his phone, and then he made all of the other elfins other than Famous and Fina invisible. He brought them in the car towards Siwa Oasis to make the final preparations to enter the great desert in the west.
