The woman waited until the commotion had completely died down, even after people's memories of Su Xiao, who had betrayed his friend, had faded, before she brought these things out.
After all, people are forgetful. Even if the internet has memory, in the apocalypse, absolute power is the only truth.
How did Xu An become popular?
It was nothing more than his sharp skills and a variety of creative eating broadcasts.
The woman could completely emulate Xu An's rise to fame and create a similar viral sensation for Su Xiao.
Even if Su Xiao were remembered for betraying his compatriots in the safe house a few days ago, so what?
Personas are built through packaging. As long as the footage is edited and packaged properly.
Black can be spun as white.
The supervisor walked up to the woman, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Do you have any more videos like this? And who is monitoring Su Xiao's livestream? Quickly bring up the livestream and check its popularity."
To avoid suspicion, the woman had not subscribed to Su Xiao's livestream. Now, hearing the supervisor, she calmly shook her head.
She knew that Su Xiao's livestream had long been neglected due to a lack of popularity, with only two basic cameras recording the points Su Xiao earned after hunting wild beasts.
However, the woman had been secretly recording Su Xiao's highlight moments.
She was waiting for this very day.
At this moment, a bewildered young man was pushed forward.
"Supervisor, it's Xiao Qiang who has always been responsible for Su Xiao's livestream."
The person speaking next to him was filled with schadenfreude.
These people were assigned to monitor livestreams with very little viewership.
Not only did they have to calculate point data daily, but they also had to edit and record the contestants' highlight moments, including those who died in accidents, for which compensation would be provided to their families.
Although this entire process was not extremely arduous, it was indeed tedious and complicated.
However, only Xiao Qiang was assigned to Su Xiao.
This was almost universally seen as a contestant who had been abandoned. Even a large portion of the staff assumed Su Xiao had already died.
Let alone Xiao Qiang. He would slack off every day, doing nothing. Forget recording Su Xiao's highlight moments.
The most work he did was opening Su Xiao's livestream daily to confirm if Su Xiao was still alive.
It was precisely because of Xiao Qiang's work attitude that everyone was somewhat unhappy with him.
They were all unremarked contestants; why was Xiao Qiang's workload so much easier!
Now, no one expected that Su Xiao, who was originally ignored, would become their secret weapon against Xu An.
"Xiao Qiang is finished now."
"What do you mean?" a nearby young man whispered, gossiping.
"Xiao Qiang never recorded Su Xiao's livestream footage. Our machines are limited by environmental conditions and cannot replay. Now the supervisor definitely wants Su Xiao's livestream footage for editing videos, and Xiao Qiang has nothing. I'll see how he explains himself!"
After colleague A finished explaining, he and colleague B burst into laughter.
This was a case of "it's not that retribution won't come, it's just that the time hasn't arrived."
Setting aside the schadenfreude of his colleagues, Xiao Qiang, who had just been called out by the supervisor, was already scared out of his wits.
Heavens, they knew how much of their family's connections and resources it took to secure this leisurely job for him. But now, if he lost this job due to his own mistake, then his entire family wouldn't even be able to earn enough for next month's rent on the lighthouse.
Cold sweat trickled down his forehead. He darted his eyes around, afraid to look at the supervisor's increasingly impatient face.
"I'm asking you, why are you standing there blankly? I said, where is the recording of Su Xiao's livestream footage? Bring it to me!"
After the supervisor asked again, he gradually noticed something was amiss.
Seeing the man sweating profusely and looking guilty, a bad premonition struck him.
"You... you didn't record Su Xiao's livestream footage, did you!" As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Qiang's body began to tremble uncontrollably.
The supervisor's face turned purple with rage.
He knew that he needed to create another sensation like Xu An.
Just the video of killing the silver wolf was not enough.
It was essential to have the footage of Su Xiao quietly leveling up during his period of silence to be more convincing.
Because their livestream equipment lacked a playback function this time, the organizers had spent such a huge price precisely to ensure that every contestant's livestream footage would be stored with the utmost care.
"Are you a brainless pig? Damn it, is Su Xiao still alive? Damn it, did it cost you your life to set up a livestream? What the hell do you do all day? We pay you such a high salary, and you can't even handle a livestream that no one watches? If something happens to Su Xiao, you pack your bags and get out! What's the use of a loser like you? You can't even do such a small thing right. What can you possibly accomplish?!"
The supervisor unleashed a torrent of abuse, completely disregarding the expressions of those around him and not thinking of giving the young man any face.
He rained down criticism upon him.
The woman, having enjoyed the spectacle enough, quietly walked behind Xiao Qiang and said to the supervisor,
"Supervisor, the video is here. Please calm down. Xiao Qiang actually saved it, but he was afraid to tell you that he lost it. I found it under his desk."
Saying this, the woman handed the pre-prepared video to the supervisor and smiled faintly at Xiao Qiang's grateful gaze.
The woman did this intentionally.
Before, she had seen that Su Xiao's livestream was completely neglected, and even the staff member responsible for it was indifferent.
When she went to copy Su Xiao's videos, she was met with mockery.
It was this man, now trembling with fear, who had been arrogant before, commenting on her and saying she was wishful thinking.
He had even said that a person like Su Xiao would disappear without a ripple even if he died, advising the woman not to waste her effort.
At that time, the woman was furious, but she knew that as long as she stuck to her plan.
One day, Su Xiao would reclaim his rightful place, not be like this now, like a stray dog, with his livestream left alone and ignored.
Moreover, the silver wolves that chased after Su Xiao and Luoluo could also be used to stir up trouble. According to the woman's intuition, those wolves were definitely problematic.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have chased Su Xiao and the others so inexplicably.
