After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows-Chapter 48: The Female General

The two of them put their heads together to look over the homepage of this Archery Association member, then enthusiastically scrolled down to the comment section.

With the professional affirmation, most comments were convinced voices, but there were still sporadic dissenting ones.

"Even the professionals have come out to endorse Xixi, how can anyone still be stubborn about this?"

"Typical," Tong Yue wasn’t surprised at all. "If you look closer, eight or nine out of ten are probably Jiang Xiyu’s fans."

So Lu Zhengzheng went ahead and clicked into the profiles of the stubborn commenters by pressing on their avatars, and sure enough, found lots of Jiang Xiyu support content on these people’s homepages, undoubtedly fans of Jiang Xiyu.

"Seriously, she’s everywhere!"

Listening to the discontent from the assistant, Tong Yue picked up the phone playing the live stream, glanced at the screen where her artist had just eaten and was now trekking through the jungle with Jiang Kaiyuan, and swiftly switched to the live stream room where Jiang Xiyu was. She happened to witness Yu Hui carrying the famished Jiang Xiyu, wobbling through the jungle.

Watching this really brought her satisfaction. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Now Jiang Lingxi couldn’t be blamed for not helping Yu Hui, since he was the one who clung to Jiang Xiyu.

She was curious how long Jiang Xiyu, a burden in the jungle without the filter of a screen, would maintain his goddess image in Yu Hui’s heart.

Honestly, she was a bit expectant.

Thanks to the many intriguing and question-provoking topics brought up by Jiang Lingxi, the live stream’s comment section was bustling like a festival, even early in the morning.

"Hey, I set an alarm last night but fell asleep. When the alarm went off, I was too sleepy and turned it off with my eyes closed. Did anyone actually last till 2 AM?"

"Those of us who worked overtime till 3 AM, hand up! I had the live stream on while working and can confirm that Jiang Lingxi indeed woke up Jiang Kaiyuan around 2-ish, close enough even if not exact."

"So can she really tell time by the position of the moon and stars?"

"Once can be luck, but twice... I kind of believe it now."

"Did any night owls watching notice Jiang Lingxi’s sleeping position? Almost six hours without moving, isn’t it too disciplined? This makes me, who thrashes the blanket back and forth every night, feel inadequate!"

"Disciplined? NONONO, her sleeping state makes me feel like she could just wake up and shoot an arrow the next moment!"

"I thought I was the only one who felt this. Even asleep, she seemed full of vigilance. Seriously, Jiang Lingxi should try roles like a female general in future acting ventures."

"Her face is too pretty, I feel it might not fit."

"How about with a mask? Jiang Lingxi’s looks should suit a finely wrought, ornate golden mask."

"Hmm, just from that description, I’ve already visualized it."

If Jiang Lingxi could see the current comments in the live stream room, she might have marveled at everyone’s imagination.

In her previous life, when she first went to the battlefield, she indeed struggled with her lack of a valiant look and specially had an artisan make a mask so that fewer people would stare at her face.

Until she ascended the throne as Emperor, she never wore the mask again.

Because even though the face was the same, not many dared to look directly at her imperial countenance.

However, it was Li Shuo who truly noticed the comments.

After reading through the discussion topics in the comments, he pondered for a moment before calling over a staff member who was still eating instant noodles. "Go cut a short segment of Jiang Lingxi’s archery and resting moments from last night, not too long, under five minutes. Send it to my email."

The person, having been summoned, quickly finished their instant noodles and scrambled off to work.

Less than half an hour later, the edited segment was sent over. Li Shuo watched it once by himself, then contacted an old friend, bluntly asking, "Aren’t you looking for someone to play a female general? I can recommend someone."

After sending the message, he set his phone down, not expecting a quick reply.

Wei Xiao: "Don’t leave me hanging, tell me, who?"

Seems urgent.

Li Shuo raised an eyebrow, typing out three words, "Jiang Lingxi."

"Jiang Lingxi? Are you messing with me, man? Her? No way, our crew can’t afford such a big shot. If you recommend Jiang Xiyu, I might at least consider it."

After reading Wei Xiao’s reply, Li Shuo glanced at his computer screen.

The screen was divided into five sections, ranked by current popularity.

Currently leading was the live stream of Jiang Lingxi and Jiang Kaiyuan. First the shocking cold arrow that startled the program crew and hit the trending list, then her ability to tell time by the stars, even her sleeping posture was now a topic. Combined with their contrasting dynamic, where Jiang Lingxi, the supposed cared-for one, became the team leader, with Jiang Kaiyuan happily tagging along, every aspect appeared to garner attention now.

In contrast, Lin Jing, who initially had the highest popularity, fell to second place. Teacher Lin Jing’s acting skills were undoubtedly good, but his variety show presence lacked, and those remaining in his live stream were there to watch him seriously survive in the wilderness.

The couple Xu Ai and Zhou Yi ranked third, their survival skills coupled with inadvertent intimate interactions, managed to retain quite a few viewers despite being newcomers.

For Xu Zhao, who had the lowest visibility, even practically no fame before the show, to rank fourth instead of last, Li Shuo only wanted to say he didn’t deliberately give Xu Zhao any amazing footage; it was just that the last group’s performance was underwhelming.

Last night’s animal release incident, besides the surprising Jiang Lingxi, only Xu Zhao quickly noticed and caught them. This certainly retained audiences with genuine skills.

Looking at the last place, Jiang Xiyu and Yu Hui. Originally expecting Jiang Xiyu’s fan base to help them rank at least second, reality was disappointing.

Yu Hui was alright, being a man, he seemed prepared for survival before appearing and performed decently enough on camera. But Jiang Xiyu, after observing all night, he was sure she hadn’t prepared at all, and her performance was a letdown, even he could barely watch.

It’s likely that those still stationed in this less interesting live stream came down to some die-hard Jiang Xiyu fans or those curious about how long she could last.

Honestly, he was a bit curious too.

Retracting his gaze, Li Shuo picked up his phone to continue typing, "Brother, don’t be so quick to reject. I’ll send you a video first, make a decision after watching it."

After watching the video, he couldn’t believe that this person struggling to find a suitable actress wouldn’t be tempted!

As for Jiang Lingxi’s character and personality issues, after observing all night, he felt those rumored online might be questionable instead.

How bad could a person really be!
