"Do more and talk less, even if you suffer a bit, it's okay. This will help you gain fans."
"Mm, I understand." In the past, she wouldn't have done these things, but now she's doing them for Nan Chu, for Zhuang Wenqi, so she must work hard to gain fans.
"Also, as your fan base grows, those who have always hired trolls to defame you will definitely make more moves. When the time comes, don't be affected, a clean hand needs no washing."
"Mm, I won't take it to heart." Because she would strike back.
She is not Nan Chu!
She is someone who always avenges grudges.
After chatting with Zhuang Wenqi, Nan Chu hung up the phone and then did some searching.
The trending topics were mostly about Nangong Emperor's comeback and President Meng's participation in the romance reality show.
Nan Chu logged into the Starlight app again and found that the number of fans had indeed increased a lot.
She browsed through and found those who were criticizing and cursing her in the comment section.
She took out the Heavenly Revelation Pen and some blank talismans from the panel warehouse.
She activated the Skill Talisman Hand and started drawing talismans.
Nan Chu's Talisman Hand could draw special Tracking Talismans.
After she finished drawing, she wrote down the target to be tracked, and the Tracking Talisman turned into light and disappeared.
In less than three minutes, she found the person defaming her.
It was a male, and Nan Chu used the Tracking Talisman again, starting from the man's hand like a Russian nesting doll, tracking the hired troll, then the troll leader, then the troll company owner, and finally to an assistant.
Ultimately, she traced it back to the mastermind, Guan Xin'er.
One of Zhuang Wenqi's artists.
Guan Xin'er entered the company before her and was previously managed by Ge Jun.
Later, Ge Jun jumped ship, and the three artists he managed were distributed to other agents.
Guan Xin'er was assigned to Zhuang Wenqi.
In her memory, she had no interactions with Guan Xin'er.
She didn't know what caused Guan Xin'er to pay for trolls to constantly defame her.
But regardless of the reason, now that she knew who was defaming her, she had to take revenge.
Nan Chu took out the substitute cloth doll from the warehouse and found a photo of Guan Xin'er online. She used a rechargeable printer from the warehouse to print Guan Xin'er's photo.
Then she attached the photo to the substitute cloth doll, and the photo fused with the doll.
First, a small punishment. Nan Chu took out a small stick and tapped it on the doll's right foot.
Guan Xin'er, who was resting at home, suddenly felt severe pain in her right foot.
Soon after, her stomach hurt with intense stabs, causing her to curl up.
The pain lasted for half an hour and suddenly vanished, leaving Guan Xin'er pale and drenched in sweat.
Nan Chu punished Guan Xin'er for half an hour, then took out a talisman spell and cursed the cloth doll.
Whenever Guan Xin'er does something bad, she'll suffer unbearable pain.
Nan Chu then cast a spell on Fang You, aiming to find the girls harmed by Fang You.
Once she found them, Nan Chu used her alternate account to contact five girls, sending them messages.
Nan Chu thought that after sending the messages, the five girls would suspect Fang You.
But the five girls directly blocked Nan Chu's alternate account.
Because Fang You had utilized PUA techniques on them, telling them that some obsessive fans would send such messages to harass his female fans, so they shouldn't believe such messages.
These girls trusted Fang You deeply, thus Nan Chu's messages had no effect.
However, Nan Chu just went on with her routine after doing these things.
She washed up and then started reading.
She read until midnight before going to sleep.
By five o'clock, Nan Chu's alarm went off. She got up to go jogging.
Even though her skills remained, she believed having a strong physique was most important.
To live long, one must stay healthy.
The live broadcast hadn't started yet, but the fixed cameras captured.
Nan Chu ran for an hour before returning to the lodge.
Upon returning, she took a shower, changed her clothes, and applied light makeup.
Then she went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
As others hadn't awakened, Nan Chu cooked noodles for herself.
After eating the noodles, she cleaned the kitchen.
Just as she finished tidying, the program crew arrived one by one.
The director was somewhat surprised to find Nan Chu awake so early, "Nan Chu, are you preparing breakfast?"
"No, I've already eaten. I was just heading back to my room."
"What time did you get up to have breakfast already?"
"Five o'clock. I went for an hour run, came back, freshened up, and cooked some noodles."
"Director, have you all eaten?"
"Yes, we had breakfast at a bun and porridge shop."
"Oh, then I'll head back to my room and come down when the live broadcast starts."
Nan Chu said and went upstairs.
The program crew began setting up the live-streaming equipment.
More than ten minutes after Nan Chu went upstairs, others started waking up. The male guests got ready quickly.
The female guests were still putting on makeup in their rooms.
Nan Chu heard activity and went downstairs.
Nangong Hengmo was preparing breakfast. Seeing Nan Chu, he said, "Nan Chu, would you like some breakfast?"
"No need, I've already eaten."
"Already ate? When did you eat?"
"About half an hour ago, I cooked noodles."
"Okay, then."
At eight o'clock, the live broadcast started.
Li Wenya came down wearing a green long dress today, accessorized with a pink bow.
The other three female guests hadn't come down yet.
After everyone finished breakfast, the director spoke, "The male and female guests who sent each other heartwarming messages yesterday can go out for a date today."
"As for the mutual selection results, you all can check on your phones."
After the director finished, everyone's phones chimed.
They received an image showing the results of yesterday's mutual selection, including the reasons for their heartwarming feelings.
Jiang Han glanced at Nan Chu after seeing Nan Chu's message.
The reason Nan Chu sent one to Nangong Hengmo was that Nangong Hengmo made her feel familiar.
Jiang Han, although he accompanied her till the end, remained silent, which heightened Nan Chu's wary nature to distance herself from Jiang Han.
[The director is really playing, openly punishing!]
[I thought there wouldn't be any mutual selections, but I didn't expect Nangong Emperor and Nan Chu to successfully match. Is it because they both share the name Nan, making them attracted to each other in mutual selection?]
[You're really humorous, you in front.]
Upon seeing the results, Nangong Hengmo smiled at Nan Chu.
Li Wenya saw Fang You's message and wore an expression like she had eaten something unpleasant, her face sour.
Sha Mengyuan noticed Meng Yuan sent one to Li Wenya, feeling slightly wary inside.
[She should also dress in a girl-next-door style.]
Xu Fei looked at the result and directly glared at Nan Chu.
[Nan Chu, huh? Daring to compete for Hengmo with her, she'll regret it.]
Fang You looked at the message results, [Damn, I knew Nangong Hengmo and Meng Yuan would steal the spotlight.]
The director spoke, "The two who successfully matched can now set out for their date."
Nangong Hengmo nodded slightly, "Okay."
Then he looked at Nan Chu, "Nan Chu, do you need to get anything?"
"I'll go grab a bag, Hengmo. Please wait a moment."
"Alright, no rush," Nangong Hengmo said warmly.
Nan Chu went upstairs to fetch a handbag, then went out with Nangong Hengmo.
"Allow me to drive," Nan Chu said.
Nangong Hengmo's breathing was weaker than a healthy person's, suggesting his health hadn't fully recuperated.
"Sure," Nangong Hengmo didn't contest.
