Chosen Space had indeed become the focus of Cheng Tian's life, but he still had to occasionally deal with and keep an eye on matters in the real world.
It had been mentioned briefly before: Cheng Tian had temporarily gone viral because of his life-size Sugar Sculpture. Whether people were chasing trends and traffic or had other motives, he had become the center of discussion in gaming circles during that period.
Bazett had even been dragged into the conversation more than once when the topic went off the rails.
Cheng Tian did not care in the slightest. He also understood the nature of the internet well: even if someone went hugely viral, as long as nothing else big followed and they had no dirt on them, they would soon fade back into obscurity and return to a peaceful life.
As it happened, Cheng Tian handled it exactly that way.
After his Sugar Sculpture, Igniz cosplay outfit, and real-life Bazett at his side all blew up in popularity, people quickly started doxxing Cheng Tian.
For modern people, all kinds of traces were left behind even if they never appeared in public, let alone someone like Cheng Tian, who ran a stall selling Sugar Paintings.
Whether out of pure malice or goodwill disguised as something else, there were always people in humanity's diverse world who could not stand others. So they began trying to dig up dirt on Cheng Tian.
Heh, guess what? They found nothing!
Background? An orphan with no family to worry about but himself!
Connections? Just some grumpy old man who inherited Intangible Cultural Heritage and took him on as an apprentice!
Livelihood? Until the beginning of the year, he had still regularly run a stall selling Sugar Paintings!
Spending philosophy? Saving money was happiness! Consumerism could get lost!
