I Am A Prodigy - Chapter 612

Chapter 612: The Power of Die-Hard Fans

The city held a celebratory banquet and invited Ye Lingchen’s family. Naturally, it was held in the grandest hotel in the city.

After enduring a long day, Ye Lingchen felt more exhausted than ever.

On the other hand, his parents and grandparents were extremely excited, and were kept going solely with their enthusiasm.

The entire internet went wild that day, and Ye Lingchen became the hottest topic online!

Everyone kept an eye out for the aftermath of the incident.

The entire internet space, be it Weibo, TikTok, Jinri Toutiao, and even the comments section of some news site were filled with heated exchange.

Some sided with Ye Lingchen, and others with Hyun-Min Kim. Paired with the occasional bystanders popping in and out, it caused quite a chaotic scene.

[Ye Lingchen was taken away by the police for an entire night. I wonder what’s going on.]

[Hahaha, he deserves it! I recommend the death sentence!]

[Ye Lingchen’s a thug who went violent at the Spring Festival Gala. He needs to be severely punished!]

[Previous post, are you stupid? God Ye is doing that to protect our country’s honor. You deserve to be trash for life!]

[I support God Ye. Hyun-Min Kim should get out of China!]

[I say no matter what his motivation was, he had done wrong and must face the consequences!]

[I’ll give my two cents too. Previous post is a dumb*ss!]

[Talk is cheap. These people are just taking the moral high ground when they’re all just trash!]

It was Chinese New Year and everyone had a lot of time on their hands. With them all voicing their opinions, the exchange went wild.

The next moment, someone had compiled Ye Lingchen’s information and posted it online.

[Ye Lingchen: Age 20, first-year university student at Capital University. Accepted by the Capital City Basketball Association due to his excellent physical traits. He then defeated the Stick Nation’s basketball team, rising to fame since then and becoming a sports superstar. After that, he joined Life’s Struggles and became a celebrity. During this year’s Spring Festival Gala, he went on stage due to special circumstances and got lucky.

At first, I’m God Ye’s fan like everyone else. However, yesterday’s incident brought me great disappointment. God Ye misused his strong physique and tried to solve the issue with violence. Moreover, he was extremely vicious and totally disregarded his status as a celebrity. His actions would leave a bad impression on the youngsters and think that celebrities are irrational. Furthermore, he’s a first-year student at Capital University. That was not an image a student should have! He’s giving Capital University a bad name!]

Needless to say, that statement was written by Hyun-Min Kim’s die-hard fan, who made a personal attack on Ye Lingchen himself.

Ye Lingchen’s status as a student had previously gone unnoticed. However, with that statement as a reminder, people finally realized that Ye Lingchen was still a student. A student at Capital University!

Once the news was out, countless replies followed.

[Original poster is right. I agree!]

[Good summary, but I need to add another point. Ye Lingchen rose to fame at a young age and he’s obviously grown too prideful and lost himself. That’s why he would behave that way. I strongly suggest for him to be blacklisted!]

[I urge the Capital City Police Department to sentence him! At least 10 years! @Capital City Official Account.]

[Die-hard fans are such dumb*sses. Did you forget why God Ye clobbered him?]

[No wonder God Ye clobbered him. Look at these die-hard fans. I’m losing my patience too!]

[Dear original poster, can I know what’s your model solution? Should he kneel before the Stick Nation?]

[Original poster is a bootlicker. Bootlickers be damned!]

…

Finally, it even extended to Capital City Police Department’s official site, with the die-hard fans flooding their comments.

[Sentence Ye Lingchen! Sentence him!]

…

Meanwhile, some of them went to Capital University’s official site.

[Capital University, come have a look at the things your student did!]

[This is the legendary top university in China? Hehe, your students only know how to resort to violence!]

[Shameful, absolutely shameful!]

[Where are the personnel of Capital University? What a bunch of cowards. Come out and give us a statement!]

[I recommend expelling Ye Lingchen, or it would ruin Capital University’s reputation!]

Apart from that, Capital City Basketball Association’s official site went wild as well.

[Expel Ye Lingchen!]

[It’s shameful to have such a person represent our country!]

[Please give us an answer!]

The fanaticism of a die-hard fan was beyond imagination.

Most people would rationally make a few retorts for Ye Lingchen when they read those comments and leave it at that. Nobody would spend their time watching fanatics have a shouting match with each other.

Meanwhile, the die-hard fans slandered him for the sake of slandering, and quickly took over the internet. Some even created or purchased multiple accounts to take turns commenting, flooding the page with vitriol. Every crevice of the internet was filled with slogans to take down Ye Lingchen, and continuously asking for him to respond.

They could not be bothered with others and focused solely on slandering Ye Lingchen.

That resulted in the internet being slowly taken over by the die-hard fans, a horrible sight to behold. Moreover, all sorts of people were on the internet. Some bystanders that had no idea what was going on were eventually led astray by the die-hard fans, joining them along in their tirade.

The issue eventually got bigger, causing others to feel agitated.

[F*ck! The die-hard fans are too scary. Those dumb*sses!]

[This is saddening. I’m really disheartened by this!]

[No wonder God Ye wrote The Answer. I can empathize with the sorrow he felt. I’m uncultured and can only borrow from God Ye’s The Answer. Debasement is the password of the base, nobility the epitaph of the noble…A new conjunction and glimmering stars adorn the unobstructed sky now; They are the pictographs from five thousand years, they are the watchful eyes of future generations.]

[Is this still China? Why do I feel like the commenters are fans of the Stick Nation?]

[I was ignorant. Only now do I understand the horror of culture war. What’s wrong with these people?]

[We have so many talented celebrities in China. Why must they chase after a sissy from the Stick Nation? Most importantly, that sissy is humiliating our country! Please wake up!]

…

Those die-hard fans had a clear goal in mind. They cared not for right or wrong. As long as they made it a big enough issue, things would not end well for Ye Lingchen!

Once the entire internet was asking for his punishment, he would be forced to give them a proper response. Even if Ye Lingchen’s actions were righteous, even if his infractions were minor, he would still be judged!

They had a plan, and that was to pick on Ye Lingchen. They must carry out justice for their husband!

They came fully prepared and waited to see Ye Lingchen pay…
