Super Zoo

Chapter 426: 421



A large group of mosquitoes, having gorged on blood, were already flying back with their bellies swelled.

Suming, taking great evil amusement, found an empty mineral water bottle and made all those big Hei mosquitoes crawl in, ready to hand it over to Haidong Qing and have it carry the bottle back to Yangchuan City.

Looking at the bottle filled with a dark mass of mosquitoes, Suming suddenly thought of an artifact from "The Investiture of the Gods" that seemingly contained countless giant mosquitoes which, once released, could suck an entire army dry.

If he cultivated them properly with spiritual power, in the future, these mosquitoes might even be more formidable than wasps. Although wasps are poisonous, the sheer number of mosquitoes far exceeds that of wasps, and they are much more difficult to guard against.

The key issue is that mosquitoes lack intelligence. Even if they die, it wouldn't be a big loss, unlike wasps, which now behave like little people; Suming would actually feel a little sad if they were killed.

It's a pity that mosquitoes only live for a season; their lives are too short. Otherwise, if one were to breed mosquitoes specifically, accumulating trillions over ten years, they would become an absolute weapon of mass destruction for decimating cities and annihilating nations.

"Damn it, what do I need a city-decimating, nation-annihilating weapon for?! I'm not in some historical or fantasy genre..." Suming slapped his forehead, realizing he was letting his imagination run wild again.

Nana, having been bitten into a puffy face, didn't hinder Boiling Platform's 'attack' on the zoo. The momentum had already been built up, and even without Nana's on-the-spot command, the battle was inevitable.

Not even half a day had passed since Suming returned to the zoo when the netizens on Weibo had already gone crazy with insults.

The zoo's fan base boasted millions of followers, and even if just one percent enlisted for the battle, that still amounted to tens of thousands of people; meanwhile, waves of Boiling Platform users flooded in to join the fray, continually reinforcing their ranks. The two sides proved well-matched, and had Weibo been capable of heating up, it would have surely gone up in flames.

Combined, the potential 'troop' count from both sides was nearing two million. Although it was impossible for all two million people to launch into spats simultaneously, the conflict quickly spread through these millions, causing a sensation online.

Yangchuan City forum, daily mixing it up on Taoyuan's trendsetting Weibo page, was the first to detect the flame war and immediately posted a prominent headline: "Epic Shredfest, Join Us All!"

As a forum with official backing, Yangchuan City forum couldn't outright take sides. However, with one party being the local zoo and the other a business from Jiangjin City – always in competition with Yangchuan – the forum naturally aligned with the zoo, elevating the dispute to a matter of regional honor.

Following closely, various major internet platforms also took notice of the clash.

Baidu has always been one to revel in chaos, dramatizing the news: 'Live-streaming platforms come to blows, a nationwide war is about to kick off';

Zhihu, the newly emerging highbrow platform, likes to delve into complexities, 'This industry is a mess, the grand banquet of capital beneath the clamor';

NetEase maintained its faux-American style, posting a 'Timeline of Big Events in Western Internet Development and Legislation' with vague undertones. The implication was that the East's internet development isn't far behind the West's, but when it comes to legislation, it's streets behind;

Some relatively smaller online media were far more direct in their reports.

"Female anchor incites massive online tearing war, net worth surges dozens of times overnight!"

"Zoo leaks database to prove its innocence"

"The rivalry between two livestream platforms"

The internet has always been the fastest place for information dissemination and the most effective. With internet access, a simple search would reveal the websites of the parties involved. As a result, in less than half a week, the zoo's Weibo was in an uproar, but the audience traffic for both livestream platforms soared simultaneously.

Most of the increase in viewership came from people who had seen the news and visited the livestream platforms out of curiosity. Many people asked the zoo's streamers on the platform what had actually happened.

But under Suming's deliberate instruction, the zoo's streamers collectively maintained silence on the matter.

Their energies were focused on producing programs.

So, some of the new viewers who had come out of curiosity left disappointed, not having found the answers they sought. However, a portion of the viewers gradually shifted their attention from the initial curiosity about the conflict to the zoo's programs themselves and became new fans of the zoo's livestream platform.

Amidst the noise, episodes three, four, and five of the zoo's 'Me and It' program were successively launched.

The guest invited for the fifth episode was actually a young mother from Jiangjin City, who shared the story of a Golden Retriever grown up with her twin sons at home.

The entire livestream platform seemed to be unaffected by the online disputes and continued to release high-quality programs, which received a lot of praise.

Data analysis speaks volumes. The platform's peak duration ratio, second-by-second comments, and value creation rate data all maintained a steady, albeit slow, upward trend, gradually improving.

Boiling Platform also reaped tremendous gains, with a surge in traffic, a spike in new registrations, and daily tips in each room increasing exponentially.

In stark contrast to the zoo's unruffled approach, nearly every room on Boiling Platform was actively promoting the feud!

Driven by the prospect of immediate gains, some streamers even began directly encouraging their fans to join the fray, spawning numerous irresponsible statements. In no time, countless rumors flew around, fully igniting the hormones on Boiling Platform. Each streamer grasped this rare opportunity to perform wildly, gossip madly, and accept tips frantically...

Both sides had their gains, the zoo gained a group of genuine viewers, while Boiling Platform quickly rose to fame in a short time, and its streamers made a killing.

After the internet media made its move, the traditional media—newspapers and television—at last noticed the smoke of war on the internet and began to report on it.

Internet reporting and traditional media reporting do have some differences. In terms of depth, traditional media generally delve deeper and are more serious. They seldom fabricate stories out of thin air—at least they wouldn't dare to publish absurd rumors like 'the female anchor who started the incident was hospitalized for an abortion, possibly abandoned by the leader of the Yangchuan City zoo livestream platform, out of love turned hate'.

Yangchuan City Daily had previously wanted to interview Suming, but he had put a stop to it. With the recent internet buzz, Yangchuan City Daily once again proposed an interview request.

Also requesting interviews were the Yangchuan City TV Station and a few other papers from the province.

Their interviewees were not limited to just the zoo but also included Boiling Platform.

When facing online media, the attitudes of the two livestream platforms were opposite; the zoo took a cold approach, while Boiling Platform was exceptionally high-profile;

And now, faced with traditional media interviews, the two livestream platforms once again exhibited markedly different attitudes!
