    Chapter 395: After Losing Weight, Everyone Loves Me (7)

    Bombarded with messages, Qin Zizhen finally opened the forum to see what had happened.

    The 200 golden eggs wasn't really a big deal to begin with.

    It was only because "Bei Zhichun" from the guild kept stirring the pot that day that the livestream and the golden egg opening happened later…

    But…

    Watching the recorded clip in the forum, those chubby little hands managed to score 7 A-grade items out of just 10 golden eggs.

    Even Qin, the great CEO who always kept his emotions in check, couldn’t help but feel a twinge of envy.

    A bit tilted…

    The great CEO dragged the video back to the beginning and watched it again!

    Finally…

    Qin Zizhen couldn’t resist clicking the report button!

    "Dear user, the video you reported may involve the following violations:

    1. Spam video.

    2. Involves displaying, providing, or implying erotic services.

    3. Involves displaying specific body parts or specific scenarios.

    …"

    Among the list of reasons, the great CEO Qin chose the first one: "Spam video."

    "Tang Qing, Qin Zizhen saw your video, and his Affection Value for you has dropped even further. The current Affection Value is now -16 points."

    After the livestream, the system suddenly detected the fluctuation in Qin Zizhen’s Affection Value and immediately notified Tang Qing.

    "Hehehe, but Lu Tongchu’s Affection Value for you has increased!"

    Tang Qing asked in surprise, "How did it increase?"

    "Did he discover my livestream?"

    "That’s right."

    The system explained, "After all, he developed the game 'Shanhe Tu.' With such a big commotion you caused, how could Lu Tongchu not know?"

    As the original founder of Shanhe Tu, Lu Tongchu had access to the game’s most critical source code and database.

    Tang Qing’s livestream today was simply way too OP, and too many people had tagged Shanhe Tu’s maintenance account.

    That’s right!

    The most mysterious of Shanhe Tu’s official accounts, the maintenance guy, was none other than Lu Tongchu himself!

    As soon as he opened the video and heard the female streamer’s voice, Lu Tongchu immediately recognized her as his neighbor.

    He'd never imagined that she also played the Shanhe Tu game…

    Lu Tongchu checked the backend accounts and algorithms—it was indeed a coincidence.

    Tang Qing...

    did not cheat.

    No magic.

    She purely relied on her own luck... and unlocked the only dual S-rank divine pet in the Shanhe Tu...

    Somehow, Lu Tongchu suddenly thought of that uncanny coupon from earlier today...

    She seemed...

    truly, really special.

    Her voice was special, and so was her luck...

    System announcement: "Detected an increase in Lu Tongchu's fondness points. Current fondness points: 13."

    The day after Tang Qing ended her stream, the long-dormant Weibo account @ShanheTuMaintenance suddenly posted an update:

    "Checked already. The algorithm is fine, the program is running normally. It's a coincidence."

    "Such outrageous odds, and you're telling me it's a coincidence?"

    "It must be fake! Hey, Maintenance guy, check the backend data again. Little Chubby Hands must have hacked some insane program to bypass your firewall. Look into it!"

    After that livestream, the stream title "Number One Beauty of Shanhe Tu" in Tang Qing’s stream was habitually ignored. Instead, everyone remembered those Little Chubby Hands in the video!

    "If the backend data is fine, then there must be something wrong with Little Chubby Hands! Hey, @CASOfficial, I suggest examining those Little Chubby Hands. I strongly suspect an alien invasion of Earth."

    "I second that! Even if Little Chubby Hands is fine, her eighteen generations of ancestors must have issues. @ChineseFengShuiOfficial, I suggest thoroughly investigating the eighteen generations of graves of Little Chubby Hands! I suspect her family has monopolized the Chinese dragon vein!"

    "O Goddess Nuwa! Goddess! Think carefully! Did you add a little something extra when sculpting Little Chubby Hands?"

    ...

    Veteran players of Shanhe Tu all know that the maintenance guy running the game is absolutely an unassuming expert.

    Top-notch skills, upright character.

    For a nationwide game like Shanhe Tu, major events pop up every now and then. On the 818 forum, there are always two sides having heated arguments...

    Whenever this happens, it’s usually the maintenance guy who steps in to call the shots.

    A little data analysis, and the truth becomes clear.

    And, the maintenance guy never lies.

    If he says Little Chubby Hands didn’t cheat, then she definitely didn’t...

    But...

    this conclusion only makes Little Chubby Hands seem beyond legendary!

    Players started to run with the "Little Chubby Hands" meme, tagging all sorts of random official accounts. Just as the uproar was at its height, even more insane news emerged on the Shanhe Tu 818 forum!

    This time, the post was made by "Aunt Sunset"!

    The first time cracking open a golden egg, and they hit the jackpot—a double-S level Infernal Rabbit, heaven-sent!

    “It’s amazing. Is the rabbit bringing wealth?”

    “I bought a scratch-off today and won 300! This African/black-hearted person's first time winning anything, I’ve never seen anything like it, so I’m shocked and had to post about it!”

    “It must be my precious Infernal Rabbit bringing me a bit of fortune!”

    At first, this post didn’t attract much attention. Almost everyone was focused on “Auntie Sunset’s” double-S level legendary pet!

    One after another, players tried to scheme, hoping “Auntie Sunset” would reveal the Infernal Rabbit’s stats. Some even made direct offers, hoping she would trade or sell the rabbit to them.

    Gradually, though…

    The tone started to shift in a strange direction!

    “Huh! I seem to have pretty good luck today too. The streamer opened a golden egg for me, and even though it’s only a B-level, I’m already satisfied…”

    “Ordered some fried chicken to celebrate, and I actually won a free meal from the shop! Basically, my takeout today cost me nothing!”

    “Same here. Just now, someone called me out of the blue saying my phone number won the carrier’s Dragon Boat Festival care package and asked me to stop by a store to claim the prize.”

    “It’s incredible. My A-shares have been plummeting lately, and my money’s been trapped…”

    “But my luck turned today. When I checked the stock market, my tech stocks hit the limit-up!”

    Under Qin Yunyun’s thread, replies about good fortune kept piling up…

    By the time the fifth golden egg winner mentioned winning their company’s gift voucher…

    Players of “Shanhe Tu” once again realized something was up!

    Those saying they had good luck today were all players who’d cracked open golden eggs in the livestream!

    What kind of weird gimmick is this now?

    Could cracking open a golden egg actually come with a luck buff?

    “Did all of you plan this together? Are you trying to trick us into smashing golden eggs for Little Chubby Hands?”

    “Is this for real? Does Little Chubby Hands really have this kind of effect?”

    “I can’t help but believe it. I’m checking flight prices right now… Right after the golden egg session ended, the airline called to say there were no more economy seats and bumped me up to first class for free.”

    Scratch-off wins, free meals, gift vouchers, free flight upgrades…

    The types of luck were all sorts of.

    But one thing was crystal clear!

    Every one of them had gone to Tang Qing’s stream to smash a golden egg!
