After the vicious cannon fodder pampered the imperial marshal, he became popular

Chapter 180

These people are heavyweights anywhere, yet they all appeared here together, which is truly astonishing.

The StarNet system crashed.

So who exactly is Shi Su that she can attract so many big shots to show up and support her?

[Ask the netizens on Kara Star; she's from Kara Star, they'll definitely know.]

The netizens on Kara Star were completely bewildered: Huh? Shouldn't they know?

What do you know? These people are from the main planet, and they're from a subsidiary planet. How would they know anything about them?

But to be honest, it feels really good to be proven wrong like that.

Who understands? I got carried away by the idol!

Although they were also surprised, they couldn't show it; they had to pretend.

It's nothing special, just standard procedure.

Others: Standard procedure?

Listen to what you're saying, is it reasonable?
This group of nobles, resembling cabbages, not only baffled netizens, but also the show's director.

The director's eyes were lifeless, and he asked weakly, "What exactly happened?"

Isn't it Zhan Zhirou who has connections and a powerful backer? Where did Shi Su, no, Wen Shishu come from?

I used to think that the people Zhan Zhirou knew were impressive.

Now that I have witnessed Wen Shishu's impressive display firsthand, I truly understand what it means to be a small fry compared to a big fish.

They're not even in the same league.

The director was still reeling from the shock.

Suddenly a voice rang out: "Director! Quick, check the latest news on the official website!"

Director: "Why are you shouting so loudly?"

What news could be more shocking than this from Shi Su right now?

"No, look, the cosmic web..."

The director interrupted him: "What's wrong with the Cosmic Network? Wasn't it already taken care of by Zhan Zhirou? Why is it having problems again?"

As he spoke, he opened the StarNet and clicked on the Empire's official website.

His gaze fell upon it, and then he stopped moving completely. Silence filled the air, and no one reacted for a long time.

After a moment, the staff member hesitated and said, "Director, it seems we... have the wrong person to thank."

Director: Thanks for the invitation, but I'm already numb.

[Imperial Website: Following the suggestion of Wen Shishu and Miss Wen, the trial operation of the Cosmic Network has proceeded smoothly. To strengthen connections between planets and facilitate information exchange, His Majesty and the Council of Elders have unanimously decided to officially launch the Cosmic Network. This is to inform you.]

Before the public could even process the previous news, the official website suddenly dropped another bombshell.

[Who understands? The constant stream of news is really taking my heart.]

[No one knows how many shocks I suffered in one day; I'm completely numb.]

[These high-ranking and powerful people are usually completely silent, but today they seem to have all come alive.] [The Universe Network... I never thought it would even be operational. I was already surprised when it was activated during the live stream, but I never expected it to be fully operational.]

[Wait, didn't Zhan Zhirou's fans keep saying that the show's network was only temporarily operational because of their idol?]

"That's right. They've been bragging about it for ages. Just now, someone even said, 'So what if those people support Wen Shishu? The Universe Network is Zhan Zhirou's achievement. Doesn't that demonstrate Zhan Zhirou's status?'"

I seriously suspect her fans have a masochistic streak; otherwise, why would they be so focused on being proven wrong, and so quickly at that?

So, regarding the previous incident with the Universe Network, it was Zhan Zhirou who fraudulently claimed Wen Shishu's money.

You've hit the nail on the head.

Honestly, let alone Zhan Zhirou being stunned by the beating, I'm stunned too. Who could be so kind as to deliver such a powerful impact in just one song?

[Now, even if you told me that Wen Shishu knew the most elusive person in the empire, I wouldn't be surprised.]

You're not talking about... the First Army, are you?

It can only be him, the Imperial Marshal.

Comments on the StarNet kept pouring in, one after another, without a moment's pause.

Meanwhile, Wen Shishu's performance had ended, and she ranked first with overwhelming popularity and far more votes than the second-place winner.

As soon as Wen Shishu stepped off the stage, the director immediately came over to apologize to her, saying that he had been blind to her talent and had neglected her.

Then he thanked Wen Shishu for the matter of the Universe Network and mentioned that Zhan Zhirou had taken credit for others' work, saying that he had misjudged people.

Wen Shishu only then learned about the existence of the Universe Network. He only managed to say "It's okay" before being hurriedly called away.

Wen Shishu apologized to the director and left with Chu Yi.

Meanwhile, Zhan Zhirou was furious, her face turning green with anger. She had lost both her wife and her army, not only failing to defeat Wen Shishu but also being ridiculed by netizens.

Zhan Zhirou clenched her fists tightly, gritting her teeth as she said, "Wen Shishu!"

After speaking, she sensed the presence of the person next to her, suppressed her anger, lowered her eyes, and turned to look at Xiao Huai with a weak expression: "Xiao Huai, those people on the Star Network have wronged me."

"I have no idea about any 'Cosmic Network'. I never expected that Shi Shu would be resentful because you found someone to help me promote it, and then she found someone else herself."

"How could she know those important people? Could she have gone astray and done something wrong?"

Xiao Huai listened to her words without saying a word until the last sentence. Then, he looked up from the communicator screen and said solemnly, "Zhirou, watch your words!"

Zhan Zhirou's delicate expression faltered: "Xiao Huai, you..."

"You also think I was wrong?" he asked, as if he couldn't believe it.

Xiao Huai frowned slightly: "I didn't. I believe you."

"But Zhirou, don't provoke Wen Shishu anymore. You can't afford to offend her."

"I didn't..." Zhan Zhirou's voice gradually faded under Xiao Huai's serious gaze.

Xiao Huai: "I can't afford to offend her either."

“Moreover,” Xiao Huai said after a moment of silence, “she deserves the respect of the empire, not slander.”

"Stay away from her from now on, otherwise I won't be able to help you either," Xiao Huai said earnestly.

Zhan Zhirou gripped the clothes at her side tightly, lowered her eyes to conceal her expression, and said slowly, "Okay."
