: Defying All Conspiracies with Absolute Strength
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The previously well-ordered book review section was filled with malicious posts about Pi. While Zhang Zian was thinking of solutions, he heard someone behind him say,
I’ve always assumed the worst when it came to what the Chinese would do.

When he turned around, Zhang Zian saw Famous was staring at the computer screen.
As if it had sensed Zhang Zian’s astonishment, Famous explained,
Wu Ning said that before I woke up from my Imagined Landscape. Wu Ning always brought magazines and newspapers to the Temple for the Righteous Cat and the Chivalrous Dog, and explained what the articles meant.

No wonder Famous could cite Lu Xun’s famous saying, it entered its Imagined Landscape whenever it fell asleep.

I think I’ve heard this sentence.
Old Time Tea put on its bamboo hat and joined them. The word
chivalry
was woven in the rim of the hat. After so many years, it still looked new.
In real life, there was a Temple for the Righteous Cat in the barren mountains, and only Old Time Tea had been there to hear Wu Ning read the articles. However, in its Imagined Landscape, Famous had been there with Old Time Tea.
Famous and Old Time Tea looked at each other and smiled.
Pi came out of the bathroom, and the hair on its face was wet, as if Pi hadn’t fully dried its face after washing it.

Eeek?
Pi was surprised to see Famous and Old Time Tea surrounding the computer.
Old Time Tea smiled and said,
Pi, listen to me. If you’ve done nothing wrong, there’s nothing to worry about. Just ignore those posts. I believe that evil can never prevail over good. Those who use despicable tactics must be shameless scoundrels. If you get distracted, you’ll fall into their traps!

Undoubtedly, Old Time Tea’s words were filled with wisdom. Both Zhang Zian and Pi felt that they had learned something. Pi, who had secretly wept in the bathroom, felt touched to know Old Time Tea and Famous were concerned about it.
However, Old Time Tea changed its tone and said,
With all that said, since evil people have targeted Pi, we must prepare our counterattack. If we do nothing and allow the posts to continue, they’ll become arrogant and think that we’re afraid of them.
Old Time Tea’s eyes were cold and intimidating.

What should we do? It’s not enough to ignore the comments, it’ll affect the normal readers.
Zhang Zian glanced at Pi. Apparently, the comments had affected Pi’s mood, which was what the enemies wanted, so that Pi stopped writing.
Old Time Tea had taken this into consideration. It winked at Zhang Zian and then said,
Pi, you don’t need to worry. You just need to continue writing your novel. We’ll handle this for you.

Pi nodded, sat back on the chair, and opened a new Word document.
In the Book Group, some readers had discovered abnormal dynamics in the book review section and reminded Pi to pay attention to these anomalies through QQ, notifications popping up one after another.

What’s going on? I need to sleep!
Fina yelled furiously.

Quack! I awakened just when Billy Zhang was about to take off his clothes. How are you going to make make it up to me for ruining my sexual dream?
Richard chimed in.
If the elves were awakened by the alerts, Pi would be distracted instead of writing.
Zhang Zian frowned and logged out of QQ on the computer. Since his mind was occupied, he didn’t pay attention to Richard.

Pi, continue to write. We’re going downstairs to eat.

Zhang Zian winked at Old Time Tea and Famous, a gesture for them to follow him downstairs, leaving Pi alone.
Galaxy was playing hide-and-seek with the kittens on the first floor. Zhang Zian found a place to sit with Old Time Tea and Famous, so they could think of solutions.
Old Time Tea sighed and said,
I don’t know how to write novels, and I know nothing about the internet. I’m afraid that I can only provide some general suggestions.

There’s nothing Famous could do to help Pi either, so it said,
I’ll try my best to find Pi’s enemies in the real life, but I’m basically useless on the internet.

Zhang Zian thought for a moment and told Old Time Tea,
I’d like to hear your ideas, even if they are vague.

Old Time Tea stroked its whiskers and said,
I think whoever chose to slander Pi did so because their writing is inferior to Pi’s. All conspiracies are weak, so Pi should just try its best increase its strength and beat them fair and square.

Zhang Zian thought that what Old Time Tea said made sense, but how could Pi increase its strength?
Pi’s strength increased whenever more people read its novel. However, it was easier said than done.
To avoid disturbing Pi, Zhang Zian had logged out of QQ on the computer. He logged into QQ on his cell phone and on behalf of Pi, he responded to the reminders of the readers one by one. After all, the readers had good intentions, and he shouldn’t ignore their messages.
Ding!
His cell phone rang again. Zhang Zian thought that it was another reader message, but when he looked, it was someone who wanted to add Pi as a friend. The verification message was,
Hello, I am Feather of the Specter.
