Chapter 030: The Press Conference of Cheng Ye, the Ordinary Hero

Seeing Su Zhitang's words, Lu Qing didn't say anything more.

According to the information on the note that Song Wanning gave him earlier, Su Zhitang is one of Professor Bo Yang's three disciples.

Given her status, Professor Bo Yang would naturally not allow anything to happen to her.

Professor Bo Yang's request for his cooperation is highly likely an attempt to drag him down, force him into public exposure, and condemn him to the world's scorn, leaving him with no choice but to rely on the Crimson Moon Organization.

However, even so, Lu Qing was not worried.

Before transmigrating, he had already understood a truth: People live in this world solely for themselves; life is essentially a single-player game. The gossip of others is utterly unimportant. Once you die, this world ceases to exist. And that is the meaning of life. Thinking too much only leads to mental exhaustion.

Lu Qing slammed the tablet onto the table in front of the sofa. Watching it emit a soft popping sound and black smoke rise, Lu Qing said, "I'm going back to cultivate."

"Just let me know when to take action."

Back in his room, Lu Qing looked at the transparent panel in front of him.

The points have now increased from 2 to 3.

Just in case, Lu Qing lay down on the bed, covered himself with the blanket, and tucked his head inside, as if he were about to sleep.

In reality, he hid under the covers and used his remaining 3 points to refresh the Explosive Energy Pill once.

After hiding the explosive pill in his underwear, Lu Qing peeked out from under the covers, picked up his phone, and started searching for the name "Cheng Ye" online.

He had some recollection of Cheng Ye from the memories of this body.

It seems that when Cheng Ye was seventy-eight years old, he single-handedly killed thirty government soldiers in order to fight against a second-generation official in Guangcheng.

He was seriously injured as a result.

Because of this incident, many people on the internet criticized Cheng Ye, saying that such a hero was seriously injured when facing a mere thirty government soldiers.

Lu Qing had just searched for "Cheng Ye" when many video news articles popped up.

These are all good deeds done by Cheng Ye as an ordinary hero.

However, recent news has been mostly videos criticizing him.

There are ulterior motives behind smearing him.

They're using him to market themselves.

Criticizing him for not being low-key, etc.

At the very top of these videos is a live broadcast.

Lu Qing clicked on it.

The first thing you see is a press conference.

One of the young men, in his early twenties, held a microphone and kept glancing at the press conference host behind him, saying incessantly, "Family members, Cheng Ye's press conference will begin in 10 minutes."

Finally, let's talk about Cheng Ye's deeds.

"Cheng Ye started doing charity work when he was thirty years old."

"He saved many people."

"Originally, he was even awarded the title of 'commoner hero' by the Guangcheng government."

"However, in recent years, many people have begun to expose Cheng Ye's various misdeeds."

"Cheng Ye took in and raised some children from ordinary people, and it has been proven that many of these resources were provided by the government or even other benevolent people."

"He must have embezzled a lot of resources."

"Some people say that Cheng Ye, as a civilian hero, is so high-profile, telling the media about every good thing he does, which is despicable. True heroes are always low-key and humble."

"......"

"In short, Cheng Ye is now a figure heavily associated with marketing."

"Does he still deserve the title of 'everyman hero'? What do you all think?"

In the live stream's comment section, a group of people spammed comments such as "marketing," "old liar," and "not even worth a hair on Dong Qun's head."

Lu Qing frowned.

Cheng Ye's current reputation is completely the opposite of what I remember.

Why are there so many people opposing this now?

After a while, several figures came over, surrounding an elderly man with white hair.

The elderly man sat in a wheelchair, coughing from time to time.

Several figures surrounded him as he walked to the press conference host's position. A young man adjusted the microphone and held it to the old man's lips.

The old man gently touched the microphone and said in a hoarse voice, "Gentlemen, please give me some face and be quiet."

The press conference immediately fell silent, with only the sound of camera flashes.

The comments below the live stream were all mocking remarks.

"That old geezer is always marketing himself."

"What kind of bullshit civilian hero is he! His current state is all retribution!"

The old man was none other than Cheng Ye, a commoner hero from Guangcheng.

Seeing that the press conference had quieted down, Cheng Ye smiled into the microphone and said, "Chairman Fang Zhi is not only the chairman of Yongle Intelligent, but also an important figure in Guangcheng."

"The existence of Yongle Intelligence has helped reduce many criminal incidents committed by cultivators in Guangcheng."

"A century has passed since the anomaly occurred in Antarctica. In these past hundred years, crimes committed by cultivators have been increasing."

"Although Guangcheng has also experienced growth, it is already much better than other places."

"Now, the Crimson Moon organization has publicly declared that they will kill him on July 15th."

"As a resident of Guangcheng, I absolutely will not allow this to happen."

After a pause, Cheng Ye forced a pale smile and said, "I know that with my current abilities, many people are already laughing at me."

"Many people say that I am old and still alive, which is a crime, and that I am doing some showy things to market myself."

All I can say is that I'm just being myself.

"I come from a humble background, and I will always remember my origins. I will always be willing to dedicate my passion to those who are willing to make an effort for this terrible world."

"The rise and fall of the nation is the responsibility of every citizen."

"I have been practicing this principle since I was a child."

"This may be my last battle, a battle for Guangcheng."

"I hope that when I fall in a pool of blood, I can kill one more Chiyue, so that I can reduce the harm to Guangcheng."

"Listen up, everyone in Red Moon!"

"The reason I dare to hold this press conference here today is to tell you this."

"Although I, Cheng Ye, am old and frail, if you dare to commit crimes in my Guangcheng, even if I die, I will try my best to bite you beasts one more time before I die."

"that's all."

The comments section below the live stream instantly became densely packed.

Nearly half of the comments were sarcastic or mocking.

"Still marketing themselves!"

"Bullshit 'commoner hero'! Bullshit 'every man has a responsibility for the fate of the nation'! Everything I have now is the result of my own hard work, what does it have to do with you?"

"This Cheng Ye is nothing but a lackey of power and the government. He speaks so eloquently, but in reality, he definitely keeps many women and has many families!"

"That old dog should just die. Every time I see news about him, it makes me sick!"

Lu Qing saw these comments and immediately left the live stream.

He simply couldn't stand it anymore.

According to my memory, Cheng Ye was a man who never married and never had children.

Although he informed the public of everything he did, he was truly dedicated to doing things throughout his life.

When exactly did Cheng Ye, this "ordinary hero," start to be attacked online?

It was probably when Cheng Ye turned eighty and stopped pleading with a small family to fight against the local authorities.

Lu Qing shook his head.

He felt somewhat indignant on Cheng Ye's behalf.

However, he quickly forced himself to calm down.

In this day and age, it's not so easy to be kind.

At least, he won't become the second Cheng Ye.

Not to mention, one of his targets this time was Cheng Ye himself.
