Raising the Haters

The Live Broadcast Room started, and Feng Xue, who had already made minor adjustments to her appearance, immediately gifted herself ten of the largest prize draw items. Only after a large influx of viewers flooded into the Live Broadcast Room did she calmly shake an envelope in her hand and say:

"Hello everyone, you might not know me, but that's okay. My name is Alfred Paradox, and I live in Black Swan City. The reason I'm here is because I'm too rich, and too many people there know me, so I wanted to find a place where nobody knows me to play the fool and outsmart everyone..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Live Broadcast Room exploded. Many viewers immediately started cursing, saying, "You're just an outsider who came all the way to our Asgari City to beg for food, what are you pretending for? Do you have money to come here and do a live stream?"

Alfred remained unfazed by the insults, casually waving the envelope in his hand and saying:

"The reason I chose Asgari City is mainly because I randomly sent out hundreds of resumes online, and the first one to reply happened to be from a company in Asgari City. Speaking of which, judging from the address, it seems to be a Lawless Zone. I thought it was interesting, so I came to have some fun."

[Don't be so arrogant, streamer. Just because you're rich in another city doesn't mean you'll be recognized here. There are plenty of second-generation rich kids like you who die in Lawless Zone every year.]

This comment was extremely arrogant, even using VIP font, which immediately attracted the audience's attention. Alfred, however, shrugged and remained quite indifferent.

"You Rich Person bastards have no idea what the happiness of the rich is like. Since I dared to come here, I must have some trump cards. Do you know what kind of drone I'm using for my live stream? It's a modified Killer! See that pocket watch? It's a single-person deflection field shield! Do you know what material this outfit is made of?"

Alfred's behavior was exactly like that of a show-off broadcaster, instantly stirring up hatred among the viewers.

Ultimately, in this world, most of those who watch live streams are people who have a little money but can't afford more high-end spending. Compared to those who are already struggling to survive, they are the group with the most negative emotions, the most venting, and the most intense resentment towards the rich. Alfred's opening remarks immediately captivated the first batch of viewers.

Clearly, they all wanted to see how this second-generation rich kid would court disaster.

Feng Xue was perfectly aware of this. While using the brainwave sensing terminal to control the alternate account to communicate with him using VIP fonts, he moved towards his destination, saying as he went:

"You poor wretches simply don't understand. The difference between people is greater than the difference between people and dogs. We're both doing the same job, so why are you all so subservient at work? Because if you get fired, you might starve to death, but I won't. So, just like the title of my Live Broadcast Room says, I'm here in Asgari City to clean up the workplace!"

Amidst a clamor of comments, Alfred arrived at his destination via elevator.

Construction Hell.

"Private factory area No. 1774, No. 33 Heping Road... Hmm, although it's a bit low, the decoration is alright, it has a kind of retro beauty."

Alfred looked at the office building in front of him with a hint of sarcasm, which once again drew a barrage of curses. Although most of the viewers in the Live Broadcast Room also felt that this Lawless Zone looked somewhat backward, there were some things that one could say but not have outsiders say.

Although the building had little to do with them, the resentment towards the rich, coupled with the aura of Outsider, naturally led the audience to place this handsome and wealthy streamer on the opposite side.

"Hello, this is Star Advertising Company. Do you have an appointment?"

As Alfred walked into the office building, the young and beautiful receptionist immediately flashed a bright, professional smile, completely unaware of the Alfred beside him. This made the audience somewhat believe Alfred's earlier seemingly boastful lines.

Alfred, however, didn't use this opportunity to make sarcastic remarks. Instead, he smiled and placed the envelope on the table, saying, "I'm the new art designer, and this is my acceptance letter."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Although it was somewhat irregular for someone to come to work with just an offer letter, the receptionist still politely dialed the internal line and reported to her superiors according to the information on the envelope. Then, the audience noticed that the receptionist's expression changed from calm at the beginning to surprise, and then to astonishment. The whole process took only a few seconds. Even the most oblivious person could probably tell that the contents of the letter were not simple.

"Hehe, scared now? Although I'm rich, my education level is also really high!"

Alfred chatted with the viewers in the Live Broadcast Room via a brainwave port, while the receptionist politely handed the envelope back to him after hanging up the phone.

"Mr. Paradox, the HR manager is waiting for you in his office on the third floor."

"Thanks! Let's have dinner together sometime!"

Alfred gave the receptionist a flirtatious wink, then stepped into the elevator, all the while saying in the Live Broadcast Room:

"Asgari City is really nice. Back where I'm from, it's rare to see such naturally beautiful girls. They're either all armored and tough or they're brainwave connected to you. What's the difference between them and androids? Well, at least androids are more open than them!"

Although he was still very dissatisfied with Alfred, the topic of sex was a common one for all humans. After he said that, the atmosphere in the Live Broadcast Room immediately changed, and for the first time, he enjoyed the effect of having the majority of people agreeing with him.

However, the brief exchange didn't last long. Soon, he stepped out of the elevator and arrived at the HR manager's office on the third floor. He then keenly noticed the device flashing with Rainbow Light near the door, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his face.

"This is Konstantin Company's latest radar detector, mainly designed to prevent people from carrying recording devices. The fact that they can install something like this has suddenly changed my opinion of the company; at least they're not as outdated as I thought."

[Is the streamer dumbfounded? Doesn't the existence of this mean there's a problem with their company's internal contracts?]

[Yeah, yeah, companies that install these things are really something, especially HR departments. They basically only do it because they're afraid of contracts being leaked.]

But at least they signed a contract, right? Even the most unfair terms are still terms!

Am I the only one wondering how the streamer managed to bring the drone in?

Seeing the questions spontaneously asked in the live chat, Paradox deleted the content he had already written on his alternate account and communicated via telepathy:

"You're overthinking it. The fact that they can install this only shows that their company isn't at the level of capital, so they have to resort to underhanded tactics. If it were a large corporation, even if they signed a normal contract with you, they could still legally and legitimately make you unable to take care of yourself. The fact that they're doing this shows that they're guilty. If they're guilty, what am I afraid of? As for the live stream, don't worry. My drone uses military-grade stealth technology. If Constantine's civilian radar detector can detect it, then the military should send someone."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to knock on the door. Three crisp knocks were followed by a detached voice from behind the door:

"Please come in."
