I've been possessed by a culinary genius, and I've turned Shaxian snacks into a rip-off!

Your video, "Is a 10,000 Yuan Meal at Shaxian Restaurant Worth It?", has been removed from the platform due to suspected false advertising.

False advertising?

The password was probably because the people reviewing the video also thought the content was too far-fetched and didn't believe that someone could spend 10,000 yuan at a Shaxian snack shop, which is why they believed the person who reported it and took the video down.

But the problem is, he really did spend ten thousand dollars!

Zhao Yunlong stared blankly at the newly released notice, his eyes bloodshot, feeling utterly numb.

Which version of the video is this?

The fourth? Or the fifth?

He could hardly remember anymore.

Anyway, from last night until now, he's been cutting his hair, posting it, deleting it, cutting it again, posting it again, getting reported, appealing, having his appeal rejected, and then posting it again in a different way. This cycle goes on and on, endlessly.

His most proficient task all night wasn't editing videos, but writing the reasons for the appeal.

It still didn't work.

"I, Zhao Yunlong, have been researching restaurants for two years and I believe I've never offended anyone. Why? Why are you doing this to me?!"

"Hey, I spent 10,000 yuan on this restaurant review, it bankrupted me! I just wanted to recoup some of that with this video, why are you guys so ruthless?! Did I dig up your ancestral graves or steal your VPN?!?"

Zhao Yunlong's defenses were completely broken.

He couldn't understand it no matter how hard he tried, how someone with just over 20,000 followers suddenly became a target.

Furthermore, judging from the density and frequency of these reports, it is clear that this was not a report made by an individual, but rather an organized, planned, and premeditated collective action.

Is it really necessary?! Is it really necessary?!

Zhao Yunlong went through all the people around him who might have a grudge against him, but he just couldn't figure out who had the motive to do this, and who was so bored as to spend so much energy finding so many people to target him, a small-time food blogger who couldn't even get a boyfriend.

Just when his hair was about to be pulled bald, a private message notification popped up on his phone.

The sender's profile picture is a salted fish lying down.

Hey bro, what happened to your video? I saw the notification but it disappeared before I could even open it.

Zhao Yunlong replied weakly with a few words.

[I was reported for false advertising and the product was taken down.]

Are you going to post more? If so, please let us know; we'd love to see what happens next.

Zhao Yunlong was about to reply with "Okay" when a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

wrong!

Wait!

This guy seems a bit strange!

He quickly scrolled up his chat history with the guy with the salted fish avatar, and then scrolled through the private messages of the other guys.

Ever since he posted his first video, these people have been sending him private messages to show their concern.

Ask him why the video disappeared, ask him when he will resend it, and ask him if he needs any help.

At the time, he felt that these older brothers and sisters were so kind and caring towards him, even though they were just strangers. He was very touched and warmed by their kindness.

After carefully reviewing the chat history they sent, he suddenly felt that these people were a little too concerned about his video.

Not a die-hard fan.

Not friends in real life.

They were just a group of diners I met by chance at a Shaxian snack shop last night.

They met once, had a meal together, and followed him on social media. Then they became very interested in his videos and kept asking him when he would post them.

Is this reasonable?

Is this a normal fan reaction?

Zhao Yunlong has been filming store visit videos for two years, so he has a certain understanding of his fans' behavior patterns.

Even the most die-hard fans would at most urge him to update in the comments section or send him a private message asking why he hasn't updated recently. They would never be like these people who watch almost every video, seemingly more attentive than he, the food blogger, is.

Zhao Yunlong felt increasingly uneasy, and the scene of eating in Shaxian last night resurfaced in his mind.

When he first entered the store, the group of people looked at him with hostility, but their attitude changed immediately when they heard that he was a store review blogger.

She became very enthusiastic and proactive, and even started paying attention to him.

At the time, he thought it was because the older brothers and sisters were cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and he even wondered if his personal charm had improved, which was why he was so popular.

Looking back now, it's all problems.

Could the person who reported him be one of these guys who gave him attention?

Just as Zhao Yunlong had this thought, a series of donation notifications popped up on his phone, directly interrupting his thinking.

[I've tipped you 666 yuan by saying "Even mountains and seas can be flattened"!]

[I'm Not Fat donated 888 yuan!]

[User "Don't Pour the Tea Too Full" tipped 500 yuan!]

【…】

The constant stream of donations completely stunned Zhao Yunlong.

Then he quickly opened the backend and added the numbers one by one.

666, 888, 500, 300...

In the end, it added up to more than 4200 yuan.

This means that he only spent a little over 9000 on a meal yesterday, and this has almost recovered half of his money.

After counting several times to confirm that it was the correct number and not a hallucination, Zhao Yunlong's suspicions and doubts vanished instantly.

Immediately afterwards, a strong sense of guilt welled up in my heart.

People are giving him tips, and they're giving him hundreds of dollars at a time, they're very generous!

Would the person who reported him really give him a tip? Obviously not!

Unless they're just bored and have nothing better to do.

He actually suspected that someone had reported him; that's really wrong of him.

Snapped!

Zhao Yunlong gave himself a hard slap, and half of his face went numb instantly, but he felt that this was what he deserved, and he even felt that this was not enough.

"I'm such an idiot!"

"These kind people have wholeheartedly supported and cared for me, and even gave me tips. How could I possibly be gossiping about them behind their backs? Have I lost all my conscience?!"

"Why would someone report me? Because my videos are bad? Because I have few followers? They clearly just appreciate me, think my content is good, and want to support a young person like me who's chasing their dreams!"

"How could I possibly doubt such a generous and righteous person like them? I'm such a terrible person!"

"Disgusting! Absolutely disgusting!"

After scolding himself, Zhao Yunlong quickly sent each of them a private message thanking him.

[Thank you so much, Brother Yu, for the generous donation! I am deeply grateful! I will definitely continue to work hard and create even better works to repay you all!]

Thank you, Brother Shan! You're so generous! I'll never forget it!

[Thank you, Fatty! Thank you for your support, Big Brother! I will certainly live up to your expectations!]

【…】

After sending it to everyone, he still felt it wasn't enough, so he created a special "Godfather and Godmother Group" and added all these older brothers and sisters to it.

Having made videos for two years, this was the first time he had received so many tips, and the tips were so generous. He had to really try to win them over and maintain the relationship.

After all, when he was at his most difficult and helpless, and his mentality was about to explode after being reported, it was these older brothers and sisters... no, it was his adoptive parents who stood up and supported him with real money and encouraged him.

Therefore, he absolutely cannot let them down!

"So what if it got taken down a few times?"

"My brothers have all supported me so much. If I give up now, would I even be human?"

Zhao Yunlong instantly felt like he'd been injected with adrenaline, his whole body brimming with energy. He reopened the editing software, ready to continue the battle.

"Cut! Keep cutting!!!"

"Brother Long, even if I get reported ten thousand times, blacklisted by the platform, and banned across the entire internet, I will still post this video!!!"

"This world needs justice!!!"

"This world needs the truth!!!"

"The world needs more people to know that there's a Shaxian snack shop hidden at No. 88 Financial Street that will make you cry with delight!!!"

"For my elder brother... and for the kindness and support of my adoptive parents!!!"

"Go for it!!!"
