Chapter 343: Allied Army
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the past few days, almost all of the news on the internet were reports on Min Feiyao. Li Nianwei’s hardcore fans felt extremely depressed. At that time, in the major forums, once Li Nianwei’s fans published a post that supported Li Nianwei, in the blink of an eye, there would be countless people besieging it.
But things have changed!
Hatsune Tianyi, along with Li Nianwei, would be holding concerts on the same day in the twenty-three provincial capital cities of the country. This news swept the entire entertainment circle like a hurricane. Even if the Internet Water Army of Ko Gohon fought their hardest, there was no way they would be able to resist such a strong fight. They began to retreat.
This time, in just a few hours, all the news relating to Min Feiyao was extinguished. The speed was faster as compared to the previous time when Min Feiyao’s fans and the Internet Water Army took over the internet. In other words, it was submerged in the vast ocean of posts—even if the Internet Water Army used all their strength, they couldn’t do much.
Very soon, the fans of Li Nianwei, Hong Dali, and Hatsune Tianyi had concurred all the media websites. Sangle Search’s Tieba forum also began the largest battle in the history of the Internet. The scale of the battle was bigger than anything before!
Li Nianwei’s official Tieba forum was almost seized by Min Feiyao’s fans and the Internet Water Army. This time, Li Nianwei’s fans, Hong Dali’s fans, as well as Hatsune Tianyi’s fans had combined forces. Two million fans gathered and within two hours, Min Feiyao’s Tieba forum online users had hit 2.5 million, and steadily increasing!
This was the power of people. This kind of power was extremely scary!
As they were winning the battle, the battle song began. There was no hesitation! All out battle!
Two million fans entered Min Feiyao’s Tieba forum. At that moment, the entire Tieba forum was in dire straits! When Min Feiyao’s fans trampled Li Nianwei’s Tieba forum previously, they definitely would not have thought this day would come.
What was more unthinkable was that this day had arrived so soon.
The allied army may not be as tight-knitted as the Internet Water Army, but the horrifying number was enough to destroy any enemy. The news flew on the Turkey Software. More and more people were invited to the Tieba forum to join the battle.
From 7:00 PM in the evening, Min Feiyao’s Tieba forum had started to shake and crumble. All the posts in the Tieba forum were related to Li Nianwei, Hong Dali, and Hatsune Tianyi. In Min Feiyao’s Tieba forum, there wasn’t a single post related to Min Feiyao!
Ko Gohon’s Internet Water Army persevered for two hours but could hold it no longer. Even if they formed groups now, these groups would not exceed more than tens of thousands of people. Facing an army of two to three million, even if they could fit an armor all the way up to their teeth, it would not be enough to fight them.
At 8:00 PM, Min Feiyao’s Tieba forum was taken over completely. Most of the Internet Water Army had retreated and gathered in Turkey.
Internet Water Army 1: Damn! They’re too strong, there’s too many of them! What should we do?”
Internet Water Army 2: “We took money from them without thinking so much. Now that we are unable to defend our own Tieba forum, how will we carry on the talks?”
Internet Water Army 3: “What else can we do? Three million people in just a few hours. It’s not just the Tieba forum that we’re not able to protect, we also can’t protect the other places! Weibo, news reports, we have even been pushed off the rank in So Cool.”
Internet Water Army 4: “We will persevere! We have to fight to the end! The last big camp base is right behind us. If we can’t defend this place, we will be finished!”
Leader of the Internet Water Army: “Everyone, hurry up and gather more people. Request for more funds from the top to assist us! Their numbers are too big, and there are only tens of thousands of us. There is no way for us to win them in this situation. They are using the human wave tactic. We need to invest in order to win. Everyone, use all the strength you have to swipe the screens. Don’t think of anything else!”
Internet Water Army 2: “Okay, I’ll do that now! Boss, how much should we request for?”
Leader of the Internet Water Army: “Request for one million. Use it to recruit 50,000 Internet Water Army!”
Internet Water Army 2: “Okay!”
Soon, it was 10:00 PM. After two hours of adjustments, Min Feiyao’s Tieba forum was ignited once again.
The Internet Water Army had invested one million yuan. Nearly 300,000 of Min Feiyao’s fans, and 10,000 newly recruited Internet Water Army, including 50,000 Internet Water Army from previously, 450,000 started to retaliate. But what greeted them was a full four million allied army. Not just this, countless fans of other Tieba forums also joined—20,000 fans from Chu Zhongqin’s Tieba forum and 18,000 fans from Jiang Ruoyu’s Tieba forum all joined in the battle to dish the losing Internet Water Army.
The attack was unprecedented, and the battle continued to the wee hours of the morning. The Internet Water Army could not resist any longer and couldn’t help but invite hackers to hack the Tieba forum in an attempt to stop the allied army’s attack. But they had forgotten one thing—When it came to hacking, the allied army was much more experienced than them.
At 11:00 PM, a hilarious scene appeared.
All the post titles were: “Get Lost! Min Feiyao’s Fans!”. And the content of the posts was: “Goddess I love you, Young Master I love you, Hatsune Tianyi I love you. There is no edge on the mountains, the heaven and earth have combined, who dares to fight with the king! I was the little hacker that night!”
Love was a literary fan of the hacker... that’s quite impressive!
...
In various big online games in Heavenly State, the allied army’s team erupted like volcanoes in every corner. There were significantly more people than Min Feiyao’s backup teams, and their targets were all the clans named after Min Feiyao.
Flames of war raged in the various big online games, especially the most explosively popular Draconic Continent. The number of allied army fans at every server had reached a huge amount. There were group fights all over on all the online games on the internet. The teams formed by the allied army marched their way in, defeating Min Feiyao’s backup teams till they were unable to lift their heads. They could not even escape from the safety zone.

Imperial Hotel, Presidential Suite Number Four.
Ko Gohon shouted angrily as he watched the screen on his laptop. “Idiot! Idiot! How is it possible, how is it possible! How can this episode of I Am a Singer be so popular?! Hong Dali is cheating, he must be cheating, definitely cheating!”
He continued cursing for a while, his head drenched in sweat. It had only been a day and Min Feiyao’s concert video statistics were as follows: Likes: 1,237,854. Dislikes:18,371. Views: 72,784,126. Downloaded: 7,683,224.
The statistics for stage nine of I Am a Singer were: Likes: 4,265,324. Dislikes: 14,831. Views: 98,884,918. Downloads: 12,452,168.
The disparity between the two was extreme. On the surface, it looked as if Min Feiyao’s stats were higher, but her video had been up three days earlier then stage nine of I Am a Singer!
It had only been a day and they had made such progress against him!
Ko Gohon paced the room anxiously. “No, this will not do. Think of something, we must think of something!”
To be honest, it was not that he could not afford to lose. Ten cars worth fifteen million was just small change. What he really could not afford to lose was his pride.
He had challenged them with such confidence previously. He was so happy when they had accepted his challenge that he threw a party to celebrate. If he were to lose so badly now, how would he salvage his pride?
The bodyguard who was standing aside was sweating profusely as he asked, “Young Master, what should we do now?”
Ko Gohan shouted, “Get people! Get more people immediately! Find me paid downloaders, jack up the download counts. Go quickly! Go immediately! Make the download count go up! Quickly!”
“But Young Master,” the bodyguard sweated even more profusely. “The combined fan bases of Hong Dali, Li Nianwei and Hatsune Tianyi have encircled and suppressed our advertising efforts. There is almost no news of Miss Min Feiyao online now. Even Min Feiyao’s official Tieba forum is barely holding on. If we were to reallocate manpower now...”
Ko Gohan fiercely stubbed the cigarette he was holding. “I have no time to bother about all that. How will I face people if our download count is lower? Get people on it. No matter how, make sure our download count is higher than Hong Dali’s!”
“O... okay...” The bodyguard was drenched by now. “I’ll get someone on it immediately.”
After the bodyguard left, Ko Gohan paced around the room impatiently. “We must win, we must win this time, definitely must win!”
The bodyguard was back again in just a while, and he was even more flustered this time. “Young Master, bad, bad news!”
“Idiot!” Ko Gohan went up to him and slapped him twice. “Useless rubbish! What bad news?”
After getting slapped by Ko Gohan, the bodyguard was not just sweating, his face was red too. “Our paid downloaders have reported that after registering on the So Cool website, they still needed to top up funds to be able to download videos. Also, real names and identifications are needed to register. The identifications are not a problem, the problem is the download cost...”
Ko Gohon shouted, “Stupid! Inject funds! I will come up with one million! Jack up the download count!”
The bodyguard was clearly uncomfortable. “But... But... But after taking away labor costs, one million is only barely enough to download two million times...”
“Idiot!” Ko Gohon felled the table with a vicious kick. “In that case, I will come up with two million. Go, quickly!”
“Yes!”
