"But seriously, the carving on this toy refrigerator is actually amazing. Aside from the color, it looks exactly like a real fridge. It's unreal!"
"As expected of the descendant of a royal artisan master…"
"Open it up already, host! I can't wait to see you get proven wrong, haha!"
Li Ran gripped the wooden handle of the lower fridge door and gently pulled it open.
In the next second, a wave of visible cold air spilled out from inside.
"Whoa, there's actual cold air!"
"No way. How could a few pieces of wood stitched together become a working fridge?"
"This has to be a special effect!"
"Nope, not a special effect! Look at that pork rib — the host just bought it this afternoon, and now it's completely frozen stiff!"
"How did he do it? This is terrifying!"
["Yukinoshita Is My Wife" sends 10 Rockets!]
["Left Side of Heaven" sends 1 Rocket!]
["Friend of Women" sends 1 Rocket!]
In an instant, rockets flew across the livestream room, and viewership skyrocketed.
Meanwhile, the frustration value in Li Ran's system was also rising rapidly, dozens at a time.
But of course, haters quickly showed up.
"Shocked, huh? Here's the truth: this is just a real electric refrigerator with wood-pattern wallpaper stuck on the doors. The host is just pulling a cheap trick to fool you all. Pathetic."
"This host clearly wants to be seen as an inventor but lacks the talent, so he resorts to deceit. Too bad—netizens aren't that easily fooled!"
"Trash host. Liar!"
"Can't believe some idiots are still hyping this up. So laughable…"
These trolls were clearly premeditated — as soon as one showed up, they spammed several coordinated messages, backing each other up with hastily made-up "evidence."
But compared to the viewers in Li Ran's stream, these trolls were completely outclassed:
"To those upstairs — maybe get your eyes checked? Didn't you see that the fridge door and hinge are joined with wooden dowels?"
"Wood-pattern wallpaper? LOL. I've never heard of wallpaper that sticks to a freezer section."
"Wow, trolls really do have wild imaginations these days."
"They probably never finished school. Don't waste time trying to explain — they won't get it."
Soon, a viewer dropped a bomb:
"Check this out — I pulled the profiles of those trolls. They were all registered at the same time and entered this stream simultaneously. I even tracked their IP addresses — they're all from the same location."
"In conclusion, these are paid professional trolls."
"Whoa, we've got a tech wizard in the house!"
"Makes sense. The host's only been streaming for two days and already hitting over 100k peak viewers — of course the competition is jealous."
"I've been watching since yesterday afternoon — I noticed people trying to stir up trouble every now and then."
"Hey tech wizard, can you find out who's behind these trolls?"
That one suggestion lit a fire in the chat.
"Great idea! If they come here to troll, we'll fire back!"
"Agreed!"
"Strongly agree, +1!"
["Yukinoshita Is My Wife" sends 1 Rocket!]
"Strongly agree, +2!"
["Mid Lane King" sends 1 Rocket!]
"Strongly agree, +10086…"
"Even the King has spoken!"
Mid Lane King: "So much going on today. Just finished up. What's happening now?"
"Haha, Mid Lane King agrees without even knowing what's going on. Classic!"
Mid Lane King: "Of course. I'm the host's die-hard fan. Whatever he does, I'll support it with all five of my hands!"
"LOL, a true veteran fan…"
After someone gave Mid Lane King a quick rundown, he immediately sent 10 more Rockets.
"Everyone, contribute what you can — money, effort, whatever it takes. We won't tolerate this kind of bullying against new streamers!"
"But... won't this cause problems for the host?"
Li Ran shook his head: "Why would I be afraid? It's not like this is the only streaming platform out there."
He was visibly angry now. He had just wanted to quietly do his livestream, but people had deliberately come to stir up trouble.
Though usually mild-mannered, Li Ran had zero tolerance for injustice — whenever something unfair happened, he was always the first to step up.
He had previously ignored the trolls, thinking they were just a few random haters. But now that he knew they were organized — how could he let it go?
Li Ran immediately @mentioned the user known as "Invincible Little Fairy."
"Hey bro, can you help me figure out who's behind this mess?"
Invincible Little Fairy: "That's a bit tricky. I can trace their IPs and even access their chat logs — that's easy. The hard part is identifying who they were chatting with."
Li Ran thought for a moment and said, "Yesterday, two streamer guilds and two platforms reached out with offers. I ignored them. I'll send you their names privately. See if you can find any links?"
Invincible Little Fairy: "Perfect. Give me a target and the rest is simple."
After Li Ran sent the info through the backend, Magic Fairy left a final message in the chat:
"Give me ten minutes."
Then silence.
"Damn, a real tech wizard. What we thought was impossible, he's doing in ten minutes!"
"This livestream has so many skilled people!"
"Most united fan base I've ever seen!"
"Since we're about to act, should we give ourselves a name?"
"Yes! We need a name so they know we're not some shadowy trolls."
"How about 'Li's Guard Squad'?"
"Too plain. Let's go with 'Hanhan Guard Squad'!"
"Haha, love it. Done!"
"Hanhan Squad be like: Who am I? Where am I? What are you people doing?"
Just a few minutes later, Invincible Little Fairy returned, this time with screenshots of chat records.
"Got it. The person behind those trolls is none other than the main promoted streamer of the 2000 guild. These chat logs between him and the trolls are identical. The evidence is irrefutable."
"You're amazing!"
["Yukinoshita Is My Wife" sends 1 Rocket!]
"Legend!"
["Mid Lane King" sends 1 Rocket!]
"Alright folks, it's time to move!"
"Let them witness the true power of the Guard Squad!"
"Hanhan Guard Squad, move out!"
"Leave no survivors!"
"Return only in victory!"
