After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows-Chapter 75 Let Go of the Kid and Let Me Do It
Chapter 75: Chapter 75 Let Go of the Kid and Let Me Do It
Pretty pictures shouldn’t be enjoyed by just one person.
Without even bothering to retouch the photo, this person confidently uploaded it to the world’s largest image site, Beautiful Picture Square.
After uploading, he admired it for a bit more before finally logging out.
Then he casually refreshed the homepage to see how many views his picture had gotten in that short time.
The number that appeared almost made him jump in shock.
"Ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, a hundred thousand? Could the site be down?"
You have to understand that although Beautiful Picture Square has an average daily active user base of over a hundred million, the sheer number of images produced daily is overwhelming, enough to leave anyone dizzy and overwhelmed.
He was a loyal user of Beautiful Picture Square, posting one or two photos he was satisfied with from time to time since registering, but until now, his highest-viewed photo had barely reached over a hundred thousand, and that took almost a month to accumulate.
He really couldn’t help but wonder how this many views could appear in just a few minutes?
But soon, the nearly hundred comments below dispelled his doubts.
The surge in views could be due to a site glitch, but the real comments couldn’t be faked.
Nearly a hundred comments in just a few minutes were unimaginable to him before.
Suppressing his excitement, he scrolled down, only to find that the first comment was from a foreign user.
Using translation software, he read the comment: "In the dimness lurks danger, the weak tremble in fear. It can sleep peacefully because a beautiful and strong presence is quietly watching over it."
Is this writing poetry?
He muttered with a smile and continued scrolling.
"The artistic conception of the image is absolutely stunning, divine picture with a divine face, I haven’t seen such high-quality photos in a long time. The only flaw is that the pixel is a bit blurry. Lastly, a small request, can the author authorize it? I’d like to download it as a desktop wallpaper."
That’s because it wasn’t captured intentionally but was a screenshot from a live stream. While thinking this, he typed back, "Sure, but strictly for personal use only."
He originally shared the image to let more people see it. Not to mention, if his images were downloaded more, his user level on the site would also increase. It’s a win-win situation, so why not?
"Ahhh, I’m also following Wilderness Survival, and just now in the live stream, Jiang Lingxi really struck a chord with me. I was regretting not being able to capture that moment, but I didn’t expect someone to manage it, thumbs up for the author’s speed!"
He happily scrolled through the comments, finding both foreign and domestic users, some who’ve watched Wilderness Survival and some who haven’t, but without exception, the image received unanimous praise.
By the time he finished reading the comments and refreshed the page again, he found that the views had gone from just over a hundred thousand to nearly a million.
Comments also surged from nearly a hundred to almost a thousand, mostly asking if they could get permission to download it.
After all, who wouldn’t want to own such a beautiful picture instead of just looking at it?
After adding a watermark and setting it to be downloadable for wallpaper use, watching the download count soar on his computer screen, he solemnly announced, "From today on, I’m going to be a fan of Jiang Lingxi."
No amount of persuasion will change my mind!

The popularity of the photo was quietly brewing, while Jiang Lingxi was startled awake by the warm wet sensation on her finger.
Looking down, she saw the little guy who had been asleep on her lap had woken up without her noticing and was now licking and nibbling her finger as if it were something delicious.
Jiang Lingxi used her slobbered finger to rub it clean on the little one’s furry forehead and resisted its attempts to come closer by gently but firmly pressing her finger against its forehead, causing the black-and-white chubby thing to roll over.
The audience watching the late-night stream: "..."
At this moment, they collectively shouted in their hearts: "Let go of the cub and let us take care of it!"
The endangered species conservation expert who rushed over overnight also held a tablet, unable to help but purse his lips as he watched Jiang Lingxi play with the national treasure’s cub as if it were an ordinary puppy or kitten.
He instructed the driver in front, "Drive faster."
It was impossible to get an intuitive judgment on the little one’s physical condition just from watching the live stream. It once was swallowed by a snake and appeared intact on the surface, but its bones might have been injured internally.
This can’t keep going on!
Fortunately, Jiang Lingxi didn’t play with the little guy for too long. After exhausting some of its energy, she took the cooled-down water prepared for it and fed it some.
"Alright, sleep," she said, facing those watery little eyes hidden behind dark circles and pretended to be stern, scolding softly, "If you make another fuss, I’ll throw you away."
Saying so, she placed her hand on its fluffy head, forcing the little one to quiet down.
The warmth from her hand gave a continuous sense of security, and instead of feeling uncomfortable, it felt like being back in its mother’s embrace, and soon enough, it fell asleep again.
Seeing it asleep, Jiang Lingxi didn’t withdraw her hand; after all, it did feel nice.
Then she used her other still-free leg to nudge the sleeping Yu Hui, who despite being supposed to keep watch, was dozing off nearby.
This kick made no sound to disturb others but was enough to cause a sharp pain in his knee, waking Yu Hui’s muddled mind instantly.
Opening his eyes, he met Jiang Lingxi’s gaze, which looked calm but always felt dangerous, and instinctively straightened up a bit.
"Sorry, I accidentally fell asleep."
Jiang Lingxi retracted her gaze, closed her eyes, and continued to sleep.
Yu Hui, however, stared at her sleeping form for a while, then looked at the national treasure cub under her Five-finger Mountain, showing a bit of confusion on his face.
In these few days in the jungle, he discovered that the Goddess wasn’t as perfect as he imagined, and also that Jiang Lingxi wasn’t as full of flaws as rumors online claimed.
In the entertainment industry, how much is real, and how much is fake? He really couldn’t tell anymore!

A layer of morning mist rose in the jungle.
Jiang Kaiyuan opened his eyes and immediately looked at the little one rolling around by Jiang Lingxi’s feet, not bothering to wash his face as he carefully brushed the grass and dirt off its fur and gently held it up, saying, "Come give me a kiss."
When Jiang Kaiyuan leaned in, the little one adeptly extended a paw, precisely swatting the human’s mouth in front of it.
Rejected!
Jiang Kaiyuan faced the little one’s disdainful look, "..."
Everyone around: "Hahaha!"
The live stream was also filled with laughter.
—"You didn’t even brush your teeth and you dare to kiss the cub, do you want a smack?"
—"It’s another day of being rejected by the cub. Little brother inside: It’s okay, I’m used to it. Forced smile.PNG"
—"The joy of waking up this morning, brought to you by the cub and little brother."
Meanwhile, Li Shuo, who also just woke up, was welcoming the team of experts who rushed overnight.
"You’re going into the forest now, no rest?"
