A Low Rank Female Goes Viral Across the Galaxy-Chapter 62: Favoritism Has No Morals

The records contained no information about Jiang Qin before the age of seven, only some general details about her life after that.

The words written there were shocking.

She had pretended to be a pure-human male child, slept in a pit sheltered by scrap metal, and survived by scavenging through trash every day...

Every day at the same time, she would squat in a corner of the reclamation depot, just to listen to the old stereo played by the owner’s father.

The owner’s father only watched the shop in the afternoons.

Without food or proper clothes, her findings were always stolen. She was beaten, driven away, and even tricked and sold two or three times.

But she was very smart. Each time, after a while, she would find a chance to escape.

When she reappeared, she would already be living in a different junkyard.

During that time, it seemed she had been adopted a few times, but the records were uncertain. There were no adults living with her, but she would occasionally be seen with the same adult for a period.

But after a while, when she reappeared, she would be alone again.

So it was hard to be certain.

Because Jiang Qin’s face was always dirty on the Barren Star, and no childhood photos were left behind, it was difficult to trace her footsteps during those years.

The only thing they could find was that she had lived in many different places.

And when she reached her teens, she disappeared for several years.

When she reappeared, she was in a hospital in the Central City of the Barren Star. By then, she was already eighteen years old.

After that, she was brought to Blue Star by the Jiang Family.

Then came the events that occurred at the Jiang Family’s home after her return to Blue Star.

The specifics couldn’t be found. In any case, the only thing Jiang Qin was criticized for was repeatedly harming her older sister, Jiang Ruming.

But this claim also came from the Jiang Family themselves, and they never produced any concrete evidence.

Accusations spread purely by word of mouth could not be confirmed.

In short, whether or not she had ever harmed a female was hard to determine.

In any case, she had never harmed any other females. The rumors all claimed she was hostile toward her older sister, Jiang Ruming.

So, Ning Feiyu would have to judge her character for himself.

In Interstellar society, minor conflicts between females were generally not considered crimes. At most, they would be reprimanded.

***

After a moment of thought, Ning Feiyu immediately started writing a post.

He didn’t know if Jiang Qin had ever harmed a female. He only knew that for a young female who had lived such a miserable life, it was normal to have some personality issues.

It was hard to imagine where she had been struggling during those unrecorded years.

If not for her own efforts, she might not have even survived to the day she was brought back.

Then, after returning home, she discovered an alternate version of her life—the life that should have been hers. What was wrong with feeling like it was unfair?

She was a female, not a saint.

After reading about Jiang Qin’s experiences, he had only one thought in his mind.

’If no one has ever chosen her without hesitation, then from now on, I’ll be the one to choose her, always.’

’And if many people are choosing her now, then let me add to her glory!’

’A female who crawled out of darkness deserves to be basked in light.’

’Who needs a moral compass when it comes to favoritism?’

He admitted it. He had been putting on a real act before. He was, by nature, a willful person who lived by his own preferences.

If he didn’t like something, he’d curse it.

If he liked something, he’d praise it to the heavens.

There was no need to be put on a pedestal by others, to be so cautious even when stanning a celebrity.

And so, Ning Feiyu’s followers discovered that the blogger they followed had probably been threatened at knifepoint.

The man who couldn’t open his mouth without calling things "trash" or "the trash of all trash" had suddenly started showering something with praise.

Just listen to this.

"Great lyrics, great music, and an even better person."

Were these words that Ning Feiyu could actually say?

His persona was supposed to be all about "nonsensical lyrics," "music more synthetic than a synthesizer," and "a person who loves eating the Empire’s leftovers."

His usual posts were eight-thousand-word tirades.

Today’s post was a twenty-thousand-word epic of praise...

The text was so dense it could rival a novel, all of it praising the lyrics of every single song from different angles.

Final summary: "Could the Jiang Fans please add me to the group chat? Thanks."

...

[I feel so bad for the people you dissed before. Turns out you just hadn’t agreed on a price.]

Ning Feiyu retorted: My family owns a mine. I’m not short on cash.

[Unfollowed. You even argue with your own fans. The way you earn your money is just pathetic.]

Ning Feiyu: Go to the trending post. Praise Jiang Qin in a comment, send me a screenshot, and get Ten Star Coins. Limit one hundred entries per person.

[Unfollowing was just to get your attention! Actually, Brother Yu, I’m your loyal lackey and also a die-hard fan of Qin Bao~]

[Bro, is the event still on?]

Ning Feiyu: It’s real and it’s happening.

’So what if I’m hiring an army of shills?’

Ning Feiyu thought to himself that this bro was loaded. His paid commenters were all real, active accounts. Let’s see just how many accounts those Xiao Heizi could bring to the fight.

***

Jiang Qin, who had slept until lunchtime, opened her door to find the internet-addicted teens in her living room.

Shi Lichuan and his two companions, along with Xie An’an, were all furiously tapping away on their illuminated Light Computer screens.

From the looks of it, every one of them was quite furious.

No one even noticed she had opened the door.

A curious Jiang Qin leaned in and asked, "Are you guys playing a game? Why are you so worked up?"

After all, their current appearance was just like the gamers she had seen before.

Fingers moving nonstop, muttering curses under their breath.

"Ah, Miss Jiang, you’re awake?" Xie An’an and the other three shut off their light screens in unison.

’And every one of them was darting their eyes around, looking at the ceiling, looking at the floor—anywhere but at me?’

Jiang Qin grew even more puzzled. ’Are they afraid I’ll think they’re slacking off and get angry?’

"Yes, I just woke up. Did something happen to upset you? You all looked very angry just now."

Xie An’an became a little flustered.

She didn’t want Jiang Qin to know that many people online were insulting her, but she also knew it was impossible to hide.

After all, those few trending topics were still up.

They had suddenly gained a lot of allies and were now close to taking over the comment sections of the trending topics.

Because of the constant commenting, the topics’ popularity hadn’t decreased at all.

The moment Jiang Qin went on the Star Network, the trending topics would surely be pushed to her...

The idea from the group chat’s admins was to push the positive comments to the top so that when Jiang Qin looked, she wouldn’t see the hurtful words.

But they hadn’t managed to achieve that yet. The top comment with the most likes was still the one questioning whether Jiang Qin had fabricated her knowledge of ancient times.

So if she went on the Star Network later, she would definitely see it...

Seeing Xie An’an stammering and Shi Lichuan’s group staring at their shoes, Jiang Qin decided not to press the issue.

She chuckled lightly. "It’s alright. I was just curious and asked casually. If An’an doesn’t want to talk about it, then don’t. Everyone has embarrassing moments they don’t want others to know about. That’s perfectly normal.

Alright, you all can keep playing. I’m going to drink some nutrient liquid and then head back to my room to mess around on my Light Computer.

I’ll call you when it’s time to head to work."

’Mess around on her Light Computer??’

Xie An’an’s heart leaped into her throat. Her mind raced. ’How am I supposed to stall Miss Jiang?’

’Sob~ Admins, help me! I really can’t do this!’
