Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 311 The Next Question

As night fell, the registration ceremony in each prison area was nearing its end.

Duan Mingyuan and Owl sat side by side in the studio, facing the camera.

This is the last show. After the show is over, they can go home and end a busy day, but before that, they must show their best in front of the audience and leave a good impression on them.

As a refresher for the registration ceremony, the live broadcast team came up with a question-and-answer program that the audience loved the most. They could ask questions to Duan Mingyuan, and the questions of the lucky audience members would be brought to the studio.

But the owl discovered a problem.

Duan Mingyuan was very frugal with words, or in other words, he had entered into his "business mode" when facing the news media. His longest answer would not exceed one sentence, and the enthusiasm of the barrage of comments cooled down at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The atmosphere of question-and-answer interaction is very important. The eloquence and sense of humor of the special guests will directly determine the quality of the program. What's worse is that given Duan Mingyuan's special status, the questions initially selected were all political topics related to the United Front, Chamber of Commerce and companies.

The audience was eager to know Duan Mingyuan's position.

This type of topic is not only very sensitive, but also easy to cause verbal battles.

After just three questions, the live broadcast room turned into a battlefield for keyboard commanders, who began to frantically fire at people from different camps.

This made Owl feel very uncomfortable, and it urgently needed some good brothers with insight to steer the topic elsewhere. This seemed like a melee between three forces, but in essence it was a war of words between the Chamber of Commerce and the company's supporters. The rebels in the United Front did not have many supporters, and they were usually used as targets to attack the other side. Even those who seemed to be speaking for the United Front were only attacking the opponents' incompetence in many policies.

The war of public opinion between the two sides has reached a white-hot stage, and a slight spark is enough to ignite the entire battlefield.

From Duan Mingyuan's position, he could clearly see the barrage of comments floating in the live broadcast room.

He found it very interesting every time he saw people arguing over things that had nothing to do with them, or even launching personal attacks on someone they didn't know.

He felt that his "justice value" had decreased.

The quarrel between the two parties was started by him. Although his answers were short and concise, they accurately touched the sensitive points of both parties. It was like he walked into a warehouse with a sign saying "Inflammable and Explosive Materials" and then struck a match.

He did it on purpose.

Because this is a live broadcast to the entire universe, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room has long exceeded nine digits, and the direction of discussion in the live broadcast room is a microcosm of current public opinion.

The supporters of the company and the chamber of commerce are roughly evenly split.

Duan Mingyuan could only sigh silently that Universal Company was worthy of being the largest force in the interstellar space. Even though they had just suffered a defeat and had been bombarded by public opinion for more than a month, their supporters were still able to tie with the Chamber of Commerce. If the recent situations of both parties were reversed, the Chamber of Commerce would probably be subjected to endless abuse in a one-sided manner.

To explain it in the context of e-sports, the fact that the supporters of a team that was eliminated in the first round are comparable to those of this season's championship team is outrageous enough.

If we make a more detailed division, it is not difficult to see why, despite having so many supporters, Universal Company has recently been pursued by the Chamber of Commerce in the public opinion war.

Supporters of the Granite Consortium accused the Iron Guard Consortium of being all show and no substance, being famous for war, and boasting for so long about their invincible fleet, but it was shattered at the first touch of the United Front, and they had no choice but to withdraw from the star zone in disgrace.

Supporters of the Iron Guard Foundation believe that these troubles were originally caused by the Cosmic Relations Coordination Department. Even the director has been internally audited. How dare you make such a fuss here?
Supporters of the Mandala Group acted as peacemakers, claiming that cooperation and common development among different forces is the mainstream at the moment, so why not put aside prejudices and become good friends?

Supporters of the Embers Consortium believe that they are a group of **.

Soon, the barrage with the nickname "I wish there would be caterpillars in your coffee" was banned for 24 hours for making a veiled comment.

Duan Mingyuan always felt that this nickname looked familiar.

This seems to be an enthusiastic netizen who had previously carefully answered his question in the Q&A section about how to make a spacecraft fly into space.

Perhaps it is because the Universal Company has maintained its hegemony in the universe for too long, causing it to become accustomed to internal strife.

Jiu Yue, who was outside the prison, was also paying attention to the developments in the live broadcast room. She was lying on the bed in her pajamas, with her long hair tied up and a few cucumber slices on her face, observing Duan Mingyuan through the big screen. It was a very novel feeling. Seeing Duan Mingyuan attracting so much attention, she couldn't help but feel happy.

She felt even happier when she thought that Mr. Mingyuan would finish his show and return to the room to call her.

Oh, so this is what it feels like to be a lover with a celebrity.

Even if the other person is not around, you can often see him/her on the screen.

However, she is not good at political topics and rarely discusses such issues with others online.

She only posted three comments in total, all of which were pure expressions.

A cartoon fox with clear eyes.

However, September’s good mood did not last long, as a discordant voice appeared in the live broadcast room.

The owl picked a lucky audience member and read it out in his loud voice, "Excuse me, Mr. Duan Mingyuan, are you still single? What type of girls do you like?"

This abrupt question ended all debate about political stance.

Then someone sharply questioned the person who asked the question.

Why does it have to be a girl?
How dare you assume someone else's sexual orientation?
Where are you from?

What is the intention?
!! ?
Jiu Yue’s eyes suddenly widened, and a piece of the cucumber that was stuck to her face fell off in anger.

You like boys, your whole family likes boys!

This question was irritating enough, but I didn’t expect the barrage to be even more irritating.

And what are you laughing at, owl? You don't think you ended a dispute very cleverly, do you?

Where's the keyboard!

September immediately entered combat mode and took the keyboard in front of him.

Duan Mingyuan's answer to this question was very brief. He just said lightly, "No."

"Uh, Mr. Duan Mingyuan, everyone in the live broadcast room is very interested in this. Can you tell us more about your partner, such as what kind of person she is? How did you meet?"

Owl is still trying to save the atmosphere in the live broadcast room.

He finally managed to get the discussion back to normal life, after all, this is an entertainment program!
"Next question."

At this moment, the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room suddenly made Duan Mingyuan feel boring.

He still liked the atmosphere where everyone was blaming and insulting each other, as if they were real enemies even though they had never met each other. He could understand the views of various star regions on recent major events through the audience's sharp words.

"……All right."

Owl winked at the production team.

After a while, they picked a viewer nicknamed "Fox Demon 930#". After seeing the question, his expression became a little strange. "Well, this lucky viewer has a question. Please tell me the type of girl you like most and explain why it is a fox demon?"
