Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 185 Oh no, he got away with it.
On the morning of August 11th.

Not long after arranging to meet the production team in the afternoon, Chen Baiyu became increasingly aware of the value of increasing her luck stat.

Because starting around seven o'clock, he began to receive various greeting messages.

After feeding Platinum his dog food and water, he was slowly brushing his teeth while quickly flipping through e-books to supplement his knowledge.

Then I received a few tentative private messages from my friend list:
Hey bro, I saw a really cool guy on a video stream who looks just like you, is that you?

Bai Yu, I've found your twin brother!

He glanced at it casually a few times and did not reply.

Most of these people have not been in contact for a long time.

Like the zombie fans of celebrities on Weibo, they were purely used to fill Chen Baiyu's friend list so it wouldn't seem so empty.

There's no need to even bother with them.

Otherwise, it's easy for the other person to ask him for money while you're chatting.

While thinking.

"Dong-dong-dong! Dang-dong-dong-dong!"

The rapid, slightly trembling knocking sound pounded on the door like drumbeats, so powerful it seemed to shatter the door panel.

Chen Baiyu doesn't need to go.

You could tell from the breathing and heartbeat outside the door that it was Aunt Zhang's son, Jiang Haochen, the straightforward but kind-hearted man.

The platinum dog at his feet became agitated and started barking at the door, only calming down after he gently kicked it.

"Brother Yu! Brother Chen!"

"My dear brother! Open the door!"

“Something big has happened!!”

Outside the door came Jiang Haochen's loud, broken howl from next door, his voice filled with unbelievable excitement.

The last time Jiang Haochen got so excited that he knocked on the door was because Chen Baiyu was cooking beef offal soup at home, and the kid came over to complain because of the smell.

And this time...

Chen Baiyu vaguely realized something.

He casually spat out the foam from his mouth, then went to open the door wearing his slippers.

The door had barely opened a crack when Jiang Haochen burst in like a cannonball, his phone screen almost shoved into Chen Baiyu's face.

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!"

"Brother! You're my only brother!"

Jiang Haochen was so excited that he was incoherent, his fingers frantically tapping the screen, which displayed the homepage of the "Ultimate Life" account.

The conspicuous "2.1 million" view count label looked incredibly jarring.

"Look! Look at this! Isn't that you?!"

"My God! It exploded! It completely exploded!"

"I was having breakfast when I saw your video notification, bro."

"Top 20 trending topics on Weibo! Dominating all platforms!"

"Eight out of ten short videos I scroll through this morning are of you!"

Jiang Haochen was panting heavily, and he blurted out a whole bunch of words in one breath.

His eyes were wide open, like copper bells, as he looked Chen Baiyu up and down.

His expression was as if he were meeting him for the first time.

"How did you do that? Piano, acrobatics, marathons, archery..."

"By the way, that arrow was absolutely awesome. I bet that boss will have to keep that arrow nailed to the wall as a treasure from now on."

"So, bro, when did you secretly evolve into a hexagonal warrior behind your brother's back?!"

This is clearly the power of luck.

Overnight, the gears of fate began to turn.

This allowed videos that already had the potential to go viral to truly take off.

Chen Baiyu looked at Jiang Haochen's face, which was flushed with shock and excitement.

Listening to Jiang Haochen's continuous, uninterrupted speech, which didn't even give him a chance to interrupt, one could sense Jiang Haochen's excitement.

But his heart remained completely unmoved.

Even a little to laugh.

"Yes, it's me. Just lucky."

He nodded calmly.

His tone was quite calm and composed.

of course.

Don't be fooled by his calm exterior; he's actually incredibly happy inside.

Yes, that's right, say something more.

"Good luck?!"

"This isn't just good luck, it's like ascending to godhood on the spot! It's like becoming a god!"

"You've gone way overboard with your skill tree!"

Jiang Haochen's voice rose another eight octaves.

As he spoke, he spun around twice, as if venting his pent-up emotions.

Chen Baiyu sized up Jiang Haochen for a moment, then suddenly said, "So isn't today Monday? Aren't you going to class?"

This caused Jiang Haochen to pause noticeably.

Then his eyes widened immediately: "Oh no! I'm so shocked I'm going to be late! The first class is Lao Yan's! Brother Yu, I'll worship you when I get back from school! You're so damn awesome! I'm off!"

After saying that, he rushed out again in a flurry of activity.

When I went outside, I saw Zhang Yiyu already standing there with her schoolbag and electric scooter keys, smiling.

Seeing that Jiang Haochen had reacted, he put the schoolbag directly on him.

Then, she looked at Chen Baiyu inside the door with gentle eyes and said, "Go for it, Baiyu!"

Chen Baiyu nodded in response.

After watching the two walk away.

Before Chen Baiyu could even sit down in her room and have a drink of water, her phone started vibrating incessantly, the screen flashing two words: "Mom".

He swiped to answer the call.

Haven't spoken yet.

My mother's familiar voice, tinged with immense doubt and a hint of worry, rang out abruptly: "Hey? Bai Yu? Are you awake? I'm sending you a link, take a look right away!"

The voice just fell.

With a "ding-dong" sound, a short video sharing link was sent to me.

I glanced at it casually.

As expected, it was a related video from my own Ultimate Life account.

"Mom, I saw it."

Chen Baiyu said softly, feeling helpless.

This was something that could have been foreseen long ago.

Family and friends will be shocked, people who have never spoken to him before will try to reconnect, and strangers will think about stalking and spying on his life...

This is the price of fame.

After becoming an internet sensation, this situation is inevitable.

Even if he has just embarked on the path to fame, he will become someone who lives in the public eye and attracts even more attention.

However, he is no longer the ordinary person who was afraid of trouble. In fact, he can now say that he is both a troublemaker and not afraid of trouble.

Normal fans are fine.

If it really affects his life like paparazzi and obsessive fans do.

So……

His sword was not without its weaknesses.

While he was pondering this, his mother continued talking.

"You saw it? Is that really you in there?"

"You're the one playing the piano, doing acrobatics, and shooting arrows? When did you learn all that? I had no idea!"

"You're not doing that... uh, writing novels, are you? You haven't done anything bad, have you?"

My mother's voice was full of uncertainty, as if she wanted to confirm some earth-shattering secret.

Parents are always worried that their children will do bad things.

He worried that his child would be punished and judged by society for doing bad things.

However, such worries will soon have little impact on Chen Baiyu.

Because, when facing Chen Baiyu, it is society itself that should worry about being judged and punished, not Chen Baiyu, who embodies immense power!
“It’s me, Mom. I didn’t do anything wrong.”

"I just have a wide range of interests and hobbies. I made some videos and put them online, and I didn't expect them to suddenly become popular. Don't worry, they're all legitimate skills."

Chen Baiyu patiently explained.

Although I've always felt that my mother is even more abstract than the last Go master.

But when I actually face my mother...

He remained patient and earnest.

"Alright, alright, as long as you didn't do anything bad."

"I'm just an ordinary person, so I can't really give you smart young people any advice. Just be careful not to overstep your bounds."

After saying a lot of things.

My mom finally hung up the phone after rambling on and on.

Chen Baiyu could sense the care in their words.

So it's rare that I didn't complain about my silly mom.

While thinking.

As soon as I hung up the phone with my mom, my phone started buzzing with notifications.

The WeChat message list was instantly flooded with red dots.

In his college roommate group chat, several old classmates had been tagging him repeatedly.

[Ao]: @ChenBaiyu, Holy crap!! You're the ultimate life form? I was totally dumbfounded when I saw this!
[Wing]: Brother Chen? You're truly a hidden talent! Please accept my bow.jpg
[Lei]: Old Chen, tell me honestly, are you bound to some kind of omnipotent system? Or have you been secretly cultivating immortality? The skill range is just too outrageous!

Besides university classmates.

His former high school, middle school, and elementary school classmates, no matter how long it had been since they last contacted each other, all of whom recognized him and sent him messages to inquire.

People have all sorts of attitudes.

Some people are asking for money.

Some people complimented him on his good looks.

They asked for my autograph.

There is a saying: "If you become rich and powerful, don't forget your friends."

In short, Chen Baiyu couldn't help but rub his temples as he looked at the message list that had instantly exploded.

He briefly replied to a few people he was close to, saying things like, "Yes, I took the picture," "Luckily it went viral," and "Thank you."

I temporarily put my phone on silent mode.

The world seemed to become quiet instantly.

to be frank.

This sudden surge in attention did indeed exceed his expectations.

It has to be said that luck is indeed a bit interesting. It accelerated his original plan a little, allowing him to achieve his goal in one go, which might have taken him a long time to reach before.

and so……

Just how popular am I right now?

Chen Baiyu couldn't help but walk to his desk, turn on his computer, and log into the backend of his account called "Ultimate Creature" on various platforms.

Then, the backend data page comes into view.

This immediately made even someone as composed as him raise an eyebrow.

Views, likes, comments, follower growth curve...

All the numbers were rising wildly at an almost vertical angle, and the background message notifications were flashing so fast they were almost continuous.

The relevant videos on various platforms are all labeled as "viral" or "hot".

His account name is almost always on the trending topics list of various platforms.

The archery video, in particular, was the most exaggerated.

Several official archery-related accounts have tagged him to praise him, and some sporting goods stores have even openly tagged him, wanting to invite him to be a short-term brand ambassador.

no doubt.

This is what makes it a hit!
His fan base on various platforms has skyrocketed to several million, becoming so popular that it has far surpassed his game account.

He clicked on his most viewed archery video, and the comments were so numerous they completely covered the screen; he had to manually adjust the transparency to see them.
[Warning: High alert! Non-combatants, evacuate immediately!]

【? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 】

[They're really getting aggressive! We've seen Lü Bu shoot the halberd at the gate!]

This arrow pierced through the stars!

[A shooting star!!!]

My mom asked me why I was kneeling while watching the video…

Hey bro, can you share the cheat codes for Earth Online?

Coach, I really want to learn this.

[Husband!!! (screams) (twirls) (crawls in the shadows)]

The comments section is bustling with activity, with hundreds of thousands of comments still being added.

After silently hiding and blocking comments related to "husband" posted by a user with a Sichuan IP address whose account profile indicated male.

He looked at the top comment.

The comments that were pushed to the top by replies and likes were unusually simple.

There were no memes or abstract concepts.

There's only one simple question:

Is there anything you don't know how to do?

This popular comment has received over a million likes, followed by countless "same question", "+1", and "borrowing this post to ask".

Obviously.

This is the voice of the people.

Chen Baiyu looked at this comment, which almost represented the sentiments of all the viewers, and a slight, almost imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

In modern society.

He seems to have a hard time not knowing something.

Most of the skills were things he could learn just by looking at them.

Especially now that he occasionally takes time to read books and supplement his knowledge, he has become a theoretical master of many skills and has a thorough understanding of common languages.

and so……

He flexed his fingers and calmly typed a few words under this popular comment.

[Ultimate Life V (Author)]: Having children?
Besides.

It seems there's really nothing they can't do.

While, if one were to insist on saying so, having children could be achieved through technological modifications or the magical abilities the child might acquire in the future.

But he certainly didn't want to do that.

This reply was like a drop of boiling oil thrown into a pond.

It immediately caused an uproar.

Almost immediately, his private messages exploded with messages from a bunch of people replying to him with a simple yet Versailles-esque sentence.

He managed to get his hands on the grass (a type of plant)!

[Damn it! He actually pulled it off! I'm speechless!]

[Pfft... Having a baby?! That's undeniable!]

[Hahahaha, help! That makes so much sense, I'm speechless.]

Sisters, we've got our goal! Let's work hard and try to get him to pass! [doge emoji for protection]

Watching the replies surge and the rapidly rising top comment in the thread that read "Oh no, he got away with it," Chen Baiyu leaned back in his chair, the morning sunlight streaming through the window onto his face.

Compared to being content with little, it is better to be simple and frugal.

A little bit of dressing up now and then can really lift your spirits.

I realized that I was still full of emotions and had not yet gone down the path of severing all feelings and desires.

Chen Baiyu looked out the window.

I am more certain of my current state.

Feeling the hustle and bustle of the city outside the window, I glanced at the online world on the computer screen that was boiling over because of him.

He couldn't help but let out a soft breath.

The peaceful days are over for the time being.

but……

Let's just consider this a warm-up exercise before becoming the sole king of Earth.

He will eventually have to get used to being the center of attention.
