My house collapsed from the top, and the system just came?

Something's wrong!

Something is very wrong.

Zhiyun Zhiyu’s brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

He clearly remembered that when he finished reading "Praise to Poplar" just now, there should be far fewer netizens who knew about this prose than now.

But even then, in less than a minute, the number of votes increased by more than 200.

And now.

Seeing the entire Yilin forum, the reputation of "Praise to Baiyang" began to spread.

More than ten times more netizens came to watch than before?

but!

Zhiyun Zhiyu checked the time.

Almost five minutes have passed, but the number of votes for "Praise to Poplar" has only increased by less than a hundred.

"How can this be?!"

Zhiyun Zhiyu frowned.

He looked at the forum.

At this moment, the number of comments on the page of "Praise to Baiyang" has reached thousands.

“It’s so well written, vote!”

"Ah ah ah, I'm so touched, I'll give you the votes."

"The West Building is indeed as unique as ever. I'll give you a vote."

"vote."

"vote."

"..."

Within five minutes, there were almost hundreds of people on the forum who wanted to vote for "Praise to Topol".

Zhiyun Zhiyu has a profound understanding of the Internet.

He knows in his heart that under normal circumstances, the ratio between the number of people who actually vote and the number of people who leave comments saying they want to vote will be more than 10:1.

In other words, if one person says he wants to vote for "Praise to Poplar", there is a high probability that more than ten people will actually vote.

And this ratio will be larger because of the higher quality of the work.

Based on Zhiyun Zhiyu's guess, for a prose of the quality of "Praise to White Poplar", the ratio of the number of voters to the number of comments should be much higher than 10:1.

Even 15:1 or even 20:1 is not surprising.

But it is.

The number of voters and comments is almost 1:1.

Simply outrageous!

…

When Zhiyun Zhiyu felt strange.

Yilin Forum Headquarters.

At this moment, it has become a mess.

"Quick! Suppress it quickly."

"what happened?"

"Is the increase too steep? This is the number of votes."

"Mom..."

There were sounds of panic everywhere in the office area.

It was accompanied by a clanging sound caused by rush.

It wasn't until almost a few minutes later that everyone gradually calmed down.

But many people still have fear on their faces.

Editor-in-Chief's Office.

Hu Ji's face was so solemn that he could almost squeeze out water. He took a few deep breaths and said solemnly to the technical director standing next to him: "Is it under control? Are there any mistakes?"

There was a hint of sweat on the technical director's forehead: "It's under control for the time being."

"Just get it under control. What happened just now? The office was in a state of chaos."

Hu Ji breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately asked again.

The technical director smiled bitterly: "At first, Mr. Hu, when you said that the number of votes for "Praise to Topol" increased too fast, I immediately activated the plan I had prepared before to suppress the number of votes. Initially, I set the number for "Praise to Topol" "Praise" cast two votes, and only one vote was displayed on the front desk. But soon, I found that its increase in votes far exceeded my loneliness. Even if I suppressed half of the votes, it was still not enough. So I adjusted it to triple suppression, that is, I cast three votes. , but only one vote is displayed at the front desk.

But... I soon discovered that its growth rate was still too fast. At that rate, even if I suppressed it three times, "Praise to Poplar" would probably still break into the top ten of the overall list soon.

And as time went on, more and more people voted.

Four times, five times, six times... I found that it was not enough.

So I simply acted cruelly and adjusted it to ten times the suppression. "

Hu Ji's heart jumped: "You mean, if you vote ten times for "Praise to Poplar" now, only one vote will be displayed at the front desk?"

"Yes."

The technical director nodded.

Hu Ji took a breath of cold air.

He stared at the vote rankings on the forum.

At this moment, the number of votes for "Praise to Poplar" has reached 2,552.

Except for the initial 1,500 votes that were not suppressed, that is to say, almost a thousand votes later were suppressed ten times.

If the number of votes were replaced by the normal number, wouldn't it mean that "Praise to Poplar" now has more than 10,000 votes?

On the ranking list, "Aomei", which is currently ranked first, has only more than 9,000 votes, not more than 10,000.

Hu Ji's whole body was numb.

In other words, if they had not suppressed the votes for "Praise to Poplar", this essay would have reached the top spot on the overall vote list!

First, what does it represent?

Five million bonus!

Hu Ji shuddered all over. He couldn't afford to pay so much money if he sold the forum.

He looked at "Praise to Poplar", which was still ranked over 30 on the overall list even though it had suppressed ten times the votes, and asked aloud: "Suppressing ten times the votes, won't there be any problems?"

The technical director immediately said: "Absolutely not. The technology I use is the most secret and advanced. Even if someone suspects that the number of votes is wrong, it is only a suspicion and there is absolutely no evidence."

Hu Ji was relieved and said, "That's fine."

one way or another.

They must not let the outside world know about their vote suppression.

Otherwise it's a big deal.

While the two were discussing.

suddenly.

Lao Gao rushed in in a hurry: "Mr. Hu, the situation is not good. Because we suppressed the votes of "Praise to Poplar" too much, some netizens have already raised questions on the forum."

"What?"

Hu Ji was startled.

I was worried about this just now, but then it happened?

He quickly opened the forum.

Sure enough, I found that a netizen named "Zhiyun Zhiyu" posted a question: "Everyone, do you think there is something wrong with the number of votes for "Praise to Poplar"? It seems that the increase is too slow."

This post was sent three minutes ago.

But in just three minutes, there were already more than a dozen replies.

"I feel weird too."

"Yes, obviously several of us cast nearly a dozen votes just now, but the number of votes did not increase at all."

"Is there a bug in the forum?"

"Maybe it's a delay?"

"..."

Under the post, more and more people have doubts about the number of votes for "Praise to Baiyang".

Fortunately, everyone just felt that there was something wrong with the number of votes, and no one suspected that the forum had tampered with it.

Lao Gao's heart was hanging in the air: "Mr. Hu, what should we do now?"

Hu Ji thought for a few seconds and said in a deep voice: "Delete the post. While there are not many people who are suspicious, delete the post quickly. At the same time, tell the forum administrator to set keywords and do not allow similar posts to be posted. Absolutely not Let people set the pace.”

"Delete it directly? Will the person who posted it be dissatisfied?" Lao Gao was slightly startled.

Hu Ji smiled.

"What can I do if he is dissatisfied? He is an ordinary person, so he has to hold back his dissatisfaction."

"Oh well."

Lao Gao actually didn't want to do this in his heart.

Except for deleting the post.

He couldn't think of a better way.

So I had to do as I was told.

…

In a rental house.

Zhiyun Zhiyu kept refreshing his posts. Seeing that so many netizens suspected that there was something wrong with the votes of "Praise to the White Poplar", he had an idea in his mind.

But he quickly shook his head: "Impossible. There is no need for Yilin to do this. Moreover, notaries were hired for this competition. What can they do for this?"

However.

Just when he was struggling in his heart, his pupils suddenly widened.

His post was officially deleted!

Why were his posts deleted?

Was it deleted by mistake?

Zhiyun Zhiyu took a deep breath and wanted to publish it again.

But this time, when he clicked to publish, a prompt box popped up: [Sorry, your post contains sensitive words and cannot pass review. Please delete sensitive words before posting. 】

Sensitive words?

Zhiyun Zhiyu glanced at the post that was exactly the same as before, and then looked at the prompt box.

He suddenly understood everything.

Shady!

Zhiyun Zhiyu felt a surge in his heart.

He never dreamed that he would discover the shady story of Yilin Forum.

Although he didn't know why Yilin Forum did this, such naked suppression made him feel sick.

Since you have spent tens of millions of dollars in prize money to hold the "Chinese Prose Contest", why do you want to suppress such good articles as "Praise to Poplar"?

Wouldn't this run counter to your intention of holding the event?

Knowing the clouds and the rain, I can’t figure it out.

He wasn't prepared to figure it out either.

At this moment, he just wants to expose the despicable behavior of Yilin Forum and let everyone condemn it!

It is impossible to expose it on the Yilin Forum.

Zhiyun Zhiyu thought for a while.

He first planned to contact Xilou and tell Xilou about the matter. It would be best to let the team behind Xilou handle it. However, he sent several private messages to Xilou, but all of them fell silent.

In desperation.

He had no choice but to post a short video on Douyin to accuse Yilin Forum of his behavior. But with just three fans on his Douyin account, he couldn't make any waves at all.

at last.

Zhiyun Zhiyu had no choice but to go to Weibo and publish an article titled: [Shocking shady scene! The votes for Xilou's essay "Praise to Baiyang" were suppressed. What is the intention of the Yilin Forum? 】

After posting on Weibo.

Zhiyun Zhiyu started to go crazy @major media, marketing accounts, and every star he could know.

This was the only way he could think of.

But.

Even though he @has hundreds of well-known accounts, there is still no movement on Weibo.

Zhiyun Zhiyu looked at the accusatory Weibo article that still had zero views, and her heart became cold.

Only then did he realize it deeply.

For an ordinary person to expose an injustice, it is as difficult as going to heaven.

perhaps.

He could only watch helplessly as the votes for "Praise to Topol" were suppressed, and there was nothing he could do.

…

At the film and television base in Shanghai, Hao Mingxing, who had just finished shooting today, returned to the lounge.

When removing makeup.

He took out his phone and started scrolling through Weibo.

As a celebrity, interacting with fans on Weibo is a necessary means.

Originally Hao Mingxing didn't like to do this, but his agent Zheng Lai forced him to spend half an hour every day maintaining Weibo.

So he had to do as he was told.

After all, Hao Mingxing is now at the forefront of the music industry and is still popular.

There are more than 30 million Weibo fans!

Open Weibo.

Hao Mingxing has not posted a new blog post because his starring role in "Fist of Heroes" is still confidential and it is not appropriate to announce it now.

Select one or two fans to reply in the comment area.

I am preparing to close Weibo.

suddenly.

Hao Mingxing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he realized that just now, someone @killed him.

Of course, @he has thousands of people basically every day.

But this time @his people mentioned a name: Xilou!

During the Chinese New Year this year, Hao Mingxing already knew a secret: Xilou was Wang Mo.

Therefore, Hao Mingxing's originally indifferent expression suddenly became serious. He sat up straight and looked intently.

"Shadow story? The number of votes for Xilou's prose "Praise to Baiyang" was suppressed?"

what happened?

Hao Mingxing immediately followed the news and found the blog post published by Zhiyun Zhiyu.

Finished reading.

His expression had turned evil.

"You dare to suppress Brother Mo's articles?"

Hao Mingxing narrowed his eyes and whispered.

then.

He did not hesitate to forward the Weibo message "Zhiyun Zhiyu".

at the same time.

He took a deep breath, sent the news to the "Black Alliance Group" on WeChat, and then said: "Brothers and sisters, please help forward this news."
