Chapter 721 - 720 Ten Trucks Red Dragon_1
"Hero, thank you!"
"'In ancient times, there was the world-conquering Overlord Xiang Yu, and now Huaxia has its mysterious hero. Hero, you have worked hard!' – XX Daily."
"'The people's hero, the dawn of humanity—you make us feel so safe.' – Some news agency."
The internet exploded.
The hero's deeds shot to the top of the trending searches, with hundreds of millions of clicks. Countless people were following the story, and the number of comments below was endless.
"This is what a true hero looks like."
"Heroes emerge in troubled times, and heroes like this deserve our admiration! On the contrary, some people think they're superior just because they've awakened as Yin-Yang Persons, but they don't even compare to a hero's toenail."
"Exactly! The current Yin-Yang Persons don't even amount to a hero's strand of hair. They think they're above others—if they had even one-tenth of the hero's courage, they should be thanking their lucky stars."
"I'm a victim from Ganmu County. My family of three turned into zombies, and it was the hero who saved us. Thank you, thank you!!"
A storm swept across the internet as everyone expressed gratitude to the hero, and some celebrities even posted on Weibo to thank the hero.
Most Yin-Yang Persons felt uncomfortable inside, but they were helpless.
At that moment, Chu Hao was at home. When he saw these news reports, he felt like banging his head against the wall until he died.
That bastard Zhao Gousheng really managed to overshadow my name!
I want to cry.
However, he saw a news report with a photograph of a little girl holding flowers and posting a video from the hospital.
"Thank you, my great hero. Whether you're a big brother or a big sister, I will never forget your kindness for as long as I live."
Countless people were moved.
Many even went to Seventh District's official Weibo page to send messages, wanting to know who this hero was.
"Hero, please come out! We want to thank you in person." This was from a family Chu Hao had saved.
"Hero, please let me meet you."
This was a third-tier celebrity. She had also been in Ganmu County. There, the corpse poison had nearly reached her heart, but luckily Chu Hao had shown up just in time.
Seeing the news, Chu Hao was also incredibly moved, his eyes nearly filling with tears. So, I was that great after all!
No, I can't let them down. How can my glorious deeds be buried like this?
My dream is to appear in elementary school textbooks, just like Lei Feng, Dong Cunrui, and the great heroes of the Anti-Japanese War!
Chu Hao resolutely said, "I can't just sit back and wait. Everyone wants to see me, so I should satisfy them."
So, Chu Hao logged into his own Weibo account and posted, "I am the mysterious hero."
Chu Hao's Weibo had reached seven million followers now, thanks to Yi Qinglian.
It had been over a hundred days since he last posted on Weibo, and the moment he did, countless people saw it immediately.
"Pah! Shameless wretch, disgraceful scum! You call yourself the mysterious hero? Get lost!"
"The most shameless person I've ever seen! May the heavens strike you down with lightning, you bastard!"
"Chu Hao, have you no shame? Bad enough that you stole my goddess, now you're pretending to be a hero too?"
"Bring me my Fang Tianhua Halberd! I need to slay this impostor!"
"Chu Hao! Do you have evidence? Let me ask again, do you have evidence? People like you should die with your whole family, impersonating the hero in my heart! You are so shameless!"
In just one minute, the comments numbered over three hundred.
However, every single one of them was cursing Chu Hao.
Chu Hao: "..."
AHHH!!
What the heck did I do wrong? Why are you all cursing me like this?
I feel so wronged!
An ID called Wanderer Sky commented, "Sorry everyone, the dog my family raised has slipped its leash and sickened you all. I sincerely apologize."
"6666!!"
"Poster above, respect."
Chu Hao: "..."
Chu Hao's eyes reddened as he picked up his phone and replied to the ID Wanderer Sky: "Kid, if you're brave enough, reveal your address."
Wanderer Sky: "Hurry up and come home with me. Don't be disgusting here."
To hell with you!
Chu Hao was livid, grabbing his phone to trade insults with Wanderer Sky.
They traded insults for a while. Chu Hao was no pushover, but he found that Wanderer Sky wasn't afraid to fight back either, especially with an army of supporters helping him curse Chu Hao.
In the end, Chu Hao said, "With so many despising me, who do you think you are?"
Wanderer Sky: "..."
Chu Hao put down his phone, gritting his teeth and said, "This can't go on. If everyone disbelieves me and insults me so rudely, then don't blame Brother Hao for losing it."
So, he posted another Weibo, saying, "The insane have wide-ranging thoughts, and idiot children have lots of joy."
"'DING... The Host's provocative display has angered many, earning 4,000 Pretentiousness Points.'"
Heh, Weibo fans, you're all going to be Brother Hao's long-term meal ticket from now on.
Having gained Pretentiousness Points, Chu Hao felt pretty good and turned off his phone.
The public was enraged. A massive army of paid trolls arrived at the battlefield; the clicks and comments surpassed any other celebrity before, and the number of followers also reached over ten million.
Chu Hao had truly blown up, albeit in an infamous way, becoming the target of national attack once again.
No wonder. With a hero emerging at this critical moment, it seemed like everyone saw a glimmer of future hope, a pillar of mental support.
But, being disgusted by Chu Hao, everyone went ballistic. Some even shifted the battlefield, heading to Yi Qinglian's Weibo to curse Chu Hao.
In no time, Chu Hao was thrust onto the cusp of a public backlash once again.
"Down with Chu Hao!"
"Down with the villain Chu Hao, bring back our hero's true nature!"
"Chu Hao is such a scoundrel! I strongly request that his Weibo be shut down by the officials."
The internet was in an uproar, with everyone lambasting Chu Hao; even some celebrities started to take shots at him.
Chu Hao hadn't checked his phone. I should buy an Advanced Foundation Building Scripture, he was thinking, when his phone rang.
It was Yi Qinglian first, asking him where he had been these past few days. Chu Hao told her truthfully that he had been in seclusion and asked her not to worry.
Yi Qinglian was speechless and said, "Are you determined to become the public enemy?"
Chu Hao said with a sense of grievance, "Good people are remembered through the ages, and so are bad people. I'm truly the one who eradicated the zombie poison. What can I do if they don't believe me?"
Yi Qinglian couldn't help laughing and said, "Keep showing off then! But be careful you don't get beaten up when you go out."
Chu Hao said, "Who would dare to beat me up?"
"I've been really busy recently. My older sister is teaching me Yin-Yang Techniques, which are really hard to learn. Take care of yourself. She said that during this period of the Human World's revival, you'd better not show off too much."
After hanging up, other people who had his number also called to check in on him—Luo Yan, Yu Sicheng, and some other friends.
They all asked him where he had been recently.
Chu Hao said he was fine, and their concerns were allayed.
After finishing all the calls, Chu Hao put down his phone and opened his attributes interface.
Pretentious Little Prince: Chu Hao

Pretentiousness Points: 32,000

Treasure Chest: Green Diamond Treasure Chest*1
Chu Hao rubbed his hands together. Every time I open a treasure chest, I get so thrilled I can't control myself. How great would it be if I got a Divine Artifact this time?
"System, open the Green Diamond Treasure Chest."
"'DING... Congratulations to the Host on your streak of bad luck! You've gained ten truckloads of Red Dragon.'"
Chu Hao: "..."
FLIP THE TABLE!!!
Ten truckloads of Red Dragon! System, what are you playing at?!
And you dare say 'congratulations'? This wave of mockery is totally unexpected!
