After watching this video, Pei Qian was completely shocked!

He never imagined that Qiao Liang would find yet another angle to praise the game.

It was truly impossible to defend against!

The previous game review was actually very well-written, a ruthless critique that directly attacked “Tailor-Made’s” lack of gameplay, easily resonating with a wide audience.

But Qiao Liang had countered and attacked simultaneously, completely neutralizing the offensive and even pushing the other side into a corner.

While the opposition was still fixated on a game’s gameplay, Qiao Liang told all players that this game actually had a positive impact on transforming reality.

Once this argument was established, who would still care about gameplay issues?

This was nothing short of a dimensional reduction strike!

The key was that Qiao Liang’s arguments were well-founded and logical, with every step of reasoning fitting together seamlessly. Especially when he incorporated the connotations and definitions of the luxury clothing brand from the game “Struggle,” it won high recognition from ordinary consumers, particularly the gaming community.

Only Pei Qian himself knew this was actually an accident. He had intended to use the literal meaning of luxury clothing, never expecting to be misinterpreted yet again by that troublemaker Qiao Liang.

So what should he do now?

Pei Qian felt bewildered. He sent several more messages to Xiaofox Reviews, urging him to think of a solution quickly, even offering to pay more.

Pei Qian was really clutching at straws now. If even he, the president of Tenda Group, couldn’t think of a solution, how could an ordinary troll army group?

Plus, the leader of this troll army had gone missing.

Pei Qian silently sighed, racking his brains for countermeasures while waiting for a response from the troll army.

…

That evening.

Pei Qian had just finished dinner and was sitting on the sofa with a furrowed brow.

He watched as Qiao Liang’s video gained more and more traction, the online reputation of “Tailor-Made” improving steadily. Even the luxury clothing brand’s official website showed that several newly launched products were being snapped up, with some bestsellers even selling out!

Pei Qian felt despair welling up inside him.

The most unsettling thing was that Xiaofox Reviews still hadn’t responded to his messages.

This made Pei Qian feel something was seriously wrong.

Logically, this was a professional troll army company. What could cause such a long communication blackout? With today’s advanced technology, a simple power or internet outage seemed unlikely.

Could they have fallen asleep after working too long?

But Pei Qian checked the time—an entire day had passed. Surely they would have woken up by now?

Pei Qian was deeply troubled. But he had no choice except to continue scrolling through Teacher Qiao’s videos to alleviate his anxiety and tension.

As he scrolled, Pei Qian suddenly noticed some comments frantically tagging Qiao Laoshi, all pointing to another video.

“Wow, justice warrior Qiao Laoshi is truly the light of righteousness!”

“Quick, go see! The official Safe Pengcheng account posted a video, and they even mentioned you by name with praise!”

“I’m dying of laughter! We’ve been talking about internet troll armies, and today we finally see the true face of these trolls in the video.”

“This is so satisfying! I’ve been annoyed by these damn trolls for so long!”

“I’m laughing my head off! Old Qiao has been diligently fighting against troll armies for ages. After fighting until now, he suddenly realized that verbal warfare online is too inefficient—direct action is much better!”

Seeing the words “troll army,” Pei Qian’s heart skipped a beat.

Could this troll army be the same one I hired?

Pei Qian quickly clicked on the video link and found it was an official video from Safe Pengcheng. The title was “Responding to the Clean Internet Campaign, Safe Pengcheng Takes Strong Action Against Internet Troll Armies.”

The description was equally simple: “Paid comment deletion troll army caught red-handed.”

This was consistent with the official account’s usual style.

The video wasn’t very long, just over 5 minutes, but it contained a wealth of information.

The video began with law enforcement officers in a car explaining the purpose of this operation. They had received reports from righteous citizens and, through substantial evidence, identified someone who was engaged in paid comment deletion and internet opinion manipulation—troll army work.

Based on location tracking, the leader of this troll army group was currently in Pengcheng, so they immediately set out to make the arrest.

The arrest process was swift and clean. The suspect was immediately controlled, and the law enforcement officers caught the troll army leader with evidence of troll army activities on the spot.

This guy probably hadn’t experienced such a major situation before and panicked immediately. He confessed to his crimes without denial and was taken to the station on the spot.

At the end of the video, a female police officer gave the audience a legal education.

“Internet troll armies refer to online PR companies that provide paid information deletion services through information networks, or knowingly spread false information through network information means, all of which are suspected of illegal business operations.”

“According to reports, this internet troll army leader is also a well-known reviewer on the AiLiDao website. According to the suspect’s confession, he conceived the idea of organizing a troll army company after getting into an argument with netizens while creating review content.”

“We hope everyone takes this as a warning! The internet is not a lawless place. Be vigilant against internet troll army activities and avoid getting deeply involved.”

“Safe Pengcheng will continue to track down the collaborators involved with this troll army group. Please stay tuned for further developments.”

Pei Qian fell into silence.

He rewound the video and watched it again. Due to privacy protection, the criminal suspect’s face was blurred, so he couldn’t see the specific features.

However, upon hearing that this troll army leader was also a content creator on the AiLiDao website, Pei Qian became even more panicked.

Could it be Xiaofox Reviews?

He scrolled through the comments and realized he didn’t need to guess—enthusiastic netizens had already dug up all the relevant information.

The so-called righteous citizen in the video was actually Qiao Laoshi, and the arrested troll army leader was the notorious reviewer Xiaofox Reviews from the website.

In fact, when Xiaofox Reviews had previously taken black money to criticize various digital technology brands, the comment section often erupted into flames with insults, but these were all suppressed by his troll army.

Netizens could tell he had hired trolls, and given the frequency, it was likely his own operation.

After all, an ordinary content creator couldn’t make that much money and wouldn’t be able to maintain a long-term relationship with a troll army.

But without concrete evidence, everyone was helpless.

Now, unexpectedly, reporting him actually worked!

Qiao Liang was delighted and replied in the comments: “Thank you, Safe Pengcheng, for upholding justice! Actually, I didn’t think much about it—I just couldn’t stand this kind of behavior that confuses right and wrong, so I reported it angrily. I never expected it would actually be addressed. I only did what any law-abiding citizen should do. The ones who truly deserve thanks are the law enforcement officers of Safe Pengcheng. Thank you for your hard work! Resisting internet troll armies and purifying the online environment is everyone’s responsibility!”

Many people in the comments section were tagging Xiaofox Reviews, taking turns to criticize him.

“No wonder there haven’t been any video updates recently. The host didn’t quit the internet—he was caught by the internet police!”

“When you’re inside, can you review how well the silver bracelets work? See whether the silver bracelets are harder or your mouth is harder.”

“This is so satisfying! Why hasn’t the AiLiDao website banned his account yet?”

“When will Safe Pengcheng take strong action again and investigate some other reviewers? I think these reviewers probably all have intricate connections with troll armies.”

“When will they expose the accounts that collaborated with the troll armies? Let us see which companies are the real culprits behind hiring troll armies!”

“Exactly! If some companies didn’t buy troll services and provide them with financial support, could they be so rampant? They must be severely punished!”

“Hey, everyone look quickly! The previous game review criticizing ‘Tailor-Made’ has been deleted by the author.”

“Is this a tacit admission of guilt? I think he’s probably a troll working with Xiaofox Reviews.”

“The author himself said he was refuted by Qiao Laoshi’s video and recognized the immaturity of his review, so he deleted it to avoid causing a greater impact. As for the real reason, well, that’s open to interpretation.”

“Fortunately he ran away quickly, otherwise the next silver bracelet might have been for him.”

Reading these comments, Pei Qian was completely dazed.

No wonder Xiaofox Reviews hadn’t replied—it wasn’t because of an internet outage but because he had been physically eliminated.

He had been hoping these trolls could help him turn the situation around, but now it seemed he was being too optimistic.

These trolls couldn’t even save themselves; when they would get out of detention was still uncertain.

Moreover, Pei Qian realized an even more serious problem!

What if they followed Xiaofox Reviews’ contact list and rounded everyone up at once?

Wouldn’t that destroy Mr. Pei’s lifetime reputation in one fell swoop?

If Safe Pengcheng released Xiaofox Reviews’ collaboration list, letting netizens play a game of ‘Let’s see who’s been constantly smeared? Oh, it’s Tenda Group! And let’s see who’s been constantly smearing Tenda Group? Oh, it’s Tenda Group’s President Pei!’

Would that look good?

Then his identity as Tenda Group’s biggest mole would be immediately exposed!

Pei Qian quickly deleted Xiaofox Reviews from his friends list, pretending they had never been in contact. Fortunately, he had only used an alternate account.

But this might not be enough, given how advanced technical means were these days. If they really wanted to investigate, they would certainly find out.

However, relatively speaking, hiring a troll army versus operating one were completely different in terms of severity. Plus, so many people hired troll armies—they couldn’t investigate everyone, could they? Or even if they discovered it, they would probably just issue a warning rather than posting it online for social death.

Hiring troll armies is deadly!

Pei Qian deeply regretted his actions now. He hadn’t gained any benefit from hiring trolls—not only had he spent a lot of his private money, but every time he tried to smear Tenda Group, Tenda Group became more popular!

He gained no benefits whatsoever, unexpectedly produced the opposite effect, and added many risks. Who could he complain to about this?

Pei Qian could only silently reflect: Cherish life, stay away from troll armies.

From now on, he would pretend he had never known this Xiaofox Reviews and would distance himself from this relationship as soon as possible!
