Am I A God?

“Pushing the blame?” Elizabeth was puzzled, “How do we do that?”

“Hehe, I saw the photos Roly Poly took. Although they were real photos, they weren’t very scandalous,” Zhao Yao said. “The reason why there’s an intensifying rhythm in defaming you is because someone is fuelling the trend. Now, we just need to push the blame for all of this onto another broadcaster.”

Elizabeth remained wary of this move. “Are you sure this will work?”

Zhao Yao replied confidently, “Of course it will work. As long as we make another broadcaster go on the same path of being suspected for being a mistress, doing booty calls, adultery, marriage, divorce, having kids, and all sorts of negative news, we should be able clear our name.”

“But… We have no evidence.”

“But we have money,” Zhao Yao replied pompously.” And we have superpowers as well. Making up some evidence should be fairly easy to do. Once we have the evidence, we just need to slam another broadcaster with it. In this way, you can push all the blame onto that person while playing the sympathy card, and with me fanning the flames to gain attention for you to become the top broadcaster, you will definitely gain in popularity.”

Elizabeth still hesitated, “But I always feel that I’m not talented, should I try to learn a new skill before we start the drama…”

“There’s no need to learn anything. Talent is what ugly people need. Having a beautiful face is all you need to become popular,” Zhao Yao said with conviction. “What kind of a world are we living in now? You still need to learn a talent? Let me tell you, looks, personal image and management are key. As long as you’ve got these three right, you will gain many fans and enough viewership. Once your viewership goes up, who cares if you have talent or not.”

As he said that, Zhao Yao stroked Elizabeth’s face and said, “You think they like you?”

Elizabeth was shocked, “Don’t they?”

“The only thing they like is your looks,” Zhao Yao said in exasperation. “If you give all your fur to Matcha to wear that guy will be equally famous.”

Elizabeth secretly glanced at Matcha, who was trying to unscrew the goat milk powder can with his paws. The next moment his claw was chipped off, making him roll on the floor in pain. Beside him, Milk Tea started meowing in a frenzy, scared by the sight in front of him.

“Even Matcha?”

Zhao Yao said confidently, “His current look is just dumb and fat but once he dons your fur, I can say that he’s a dazed little cat. All you need to do is give him that dazed cat image, think of some moves for him to act cute, and record it into a video to upload on Weibo and Douyin.

I’ll then spend some money to hire fans to hype him up, such that you will see him once you open Weibo, online search engines, live streams and even on Baidu. He will popular overnight just like that.”

Elizabeth nodded uncertainly and asked again, “But who do we push the blame onto?”

Zhao Yao browsed through the list of the Top 10 broadcasters for live streams and pointed right at the number 15th broadcaster, “This guy.”

“Ah?” Elizabeth said, “But… this is Bai Quan.”

Zhao Yao said, “It’s easier to control if it’s our own people. We need solid proof with photos and videos. It will be easy if we just take photos of Bai Quan.”

Elizabeth muttered, “But Bai Quan is a guy.”

“A guy is even better for scandals,” Zhao Yao quipped, “Have you ever seen a male broadcaster getting swept up in scandals like being kept ‘mistress’ by a male tycoon and being his booty call? That will be the first of it to dramatize the scandal and this will follow up with him using cheats on the platform to promote his own live stream, bashing other people, getting plastic surgery, self-harm and finally, providing sexual ‘package services’ for male fans. I bet his reputation will go down the drain if we do that.

When the dirt is on him, you can play along by airing your woes and get sympathy to create more drama about it. Won’t your popularity rise naturally after all this?”

As he said that, Zhao Yao opened Douyu and went into Bai Quan’s live stream channel, much to Elizabeth’s surprise. “Hmm, I will dump some money on Bai Quan first.”

Elizabeth asked curiously, “Why would you dump money on him? Aren’t we pushing all the blame to him?”

“You need to be of a certain level to take the blame,” Zhao Yao said, “He’s only ranked number 15, if we push the blame to him now it won’t be hyped enough. I will dump enough money to push him to the top five ranks over the next few days.”

Bai Quan trained everyday by borrowing Sphynx cat’s powers, which Zhao Yao had upgraded to Level 6. Hence, unlike the Butcher and the like from last time, Bai Quan’s physical capabilities had not only increased everyday,but his body had also become lankier like that of a model.

Furthermore, he borrowed Roly Poly’s superpower to perform magic tricks. Although he did not have exceptionally clever tricks or management of his channel, he was still considered popular at that point.

Elizabeth sighed in defeat, “Bai Quan… he won’t be angry right?”

“Why would he,” Zhao Yao casually replied, “He was ranked number 15 at first, but with our help, he will shoot to fame straight away, he should be overjoyed by that.”

As he said that, Zhao Yao glanced at Airplane at the side and said, “Airplane, what do you think about the plan I just said?”

Airplane naturally replied in a flattering tone, “Brilliant, it’s a brilliant plan. Boss you’re practically killing two birds with one stone with this move. You can clear Elizabeth’s name while helping both Elizabeth and Bai Quan shoot to fame, it’s a brilliant plan indeed.”

“Oh? You think this is a good plan?”

“Yeah it’s good. It’s very good.”

Zhao Yao nodded in satisfaction and patted Airplane’s head admiringly, “Since you think this is such a great plan, I’ll leave it to you to carry it out. I’ll send you the account password in a moment. From today onwards, you’ll be in charge of this plan.”

Airplane was dazed for a moment. The scene of Bai Quan’s punch bursting 30 sandbags at one go flashed across his mind. He felt his legs turn weak in an instant as he cried in despair, “Boss, don’t troll me. Such a big plan like this is not something a mere cat like me can do well.”

“You can do it, I think very highly of you,” Zhao Yao rubbed Airplane’s fur and said, “Do it well! I’ll give you seven days to resolve this issue.”

As he said that, Zhao Yao walked off, leaving Airplane staring at his back trying to cry but no tears came out as he shouted, “Boss, what happens if I can’t resolve the issue?”

Zhao Yao turned and smiled, “I think you might die.”

After threatening his own cat, Zhao Yao went to find Bai Quan. He would definitely not leave such an important issue to Airplane alone. This concerned a mission worth 500*2 experience points. This mission, together with Matcha’s mission and the 100 experience points gained from Elizabeth’s daily intake of the legendary cat rice would give him enough points to upgrade Elizabeth’s level.

Hence, Zhao Yao waited for Bai Quan to end his live stream before he went up to him to explain the plan.

Bai Quan started to shake his head immediately as he said, “Boss no, a lot of my friends and relatives are watching my live streams, if I take the blame in this way, how will I face them later on.”

Zhao Yao just said, “One million.”

Bai Quan shook his head, “This is not about money…”

Zhao Yao replied, “10 million.”

Bai Quan’s breathing became slightly heavier, but he still shook his head. “Boss, I can’t agree to this even if you give me more money. This concerns my reputation.”

Zhao Yao thought to himself, “Right, Bai Quan’s favorite thing isn’t money, I remember it’s…” He looked at Bai Quan and said seductively, “Bai Quan, don’t you want to have other superpowers? Aside from Sphynx cat and Roly Poly, do you want to borrow powers from the other supercats?”

Bai Quan felt his heart beating faster and faster, “Boss… you’re really a devil.”
