Chapter 394: Chapter 198: A Thousand Mile Raid
In the past few years, some China TV Stations, embodying a shameless spirit of entertainment above all, took the lead in introducing South Korean Film and TV works and unstintingly glorified South Korean stars. In achieving high viewership ratings, they also caused the Korean Wave to recklessly spread throughout China. At that time, it seemed that almost any industry, as long as it bore the slightest connection to South Korea, would suddenly become popular.
Consequently, domestically, female stars took pride in marrying South Korean men, their mouths full of, “Oppa” and “wuli”. The male stars modeled themselves after South Korean male celebrities, dressing androgynously and effeminately, completely losing the masculine spirit of men. To experience the unique culture of South Korea seen in films and TV works, many Chinese people flocked to travel to South Korea, spending lavishly on shopping there.

For South Korea to influence a surrounding superpower with their culture and to have that superpower go crazy for them was their moment of peak achievement, fulfilling their thousand-year-old dream of countering their sovereign state.
However, the good times didn’t last long. As South Korea courted disaster by actively introducing the THAAD System from The United States of America, the situation began to reverse. In just two years, South Korea’s image in China collapsed, receiving the scorn of Chinese citizens. The once-popular South Korean stars in the entertainment industry vanished, South Korean products in the market steadily decreased, and tourists heading to South Korea became few and far between.
South Korea also recognized the gravity of the problem, as their economy had suffered significant impact. To win back the hearts of Chinese people and continue to make money from them, South Korea began self-reflection. They often orchestrated rumors on the Chinese internet about warming relations between China and South Korea, inviting some unsuspecting tourists to South Korea, taking pictures with the caption “Ice-breaking Trip” in a bid to lure a broad base of Chinese tourists back to spend and travel in South Korea, hoping to make South Korean culture and goods popular in China once again.
Today’s Chinese citizens are increasingly confident, not only in their own culture but also in their nation. They have begun to recognize the merits of their own culture and have grown more patriotic, feeling indifferent to South Korean things. As long as the thorn in their side, the THAAD System, remains, the relationship between China and South Korea can’t possibly return to its former state.
But within China, there are traitors to the nation who betray their country and kin at a time when unity is needed most. Not only do they travel to South Korea, but they also shop at South Korean duty-free stores for a slight price advantage and even defend South Korea’s actions. If they find anti-South Korean comments on the internet, these traitors will argue online with patriotic netizens, trying to prove how exceptional their South Korean masters are.
It is precisely because of the existence of these Chinese traitors that the Chinese public has developed an even greater antipathy towards South Korea. These traitors, much like celebrities who attract hate-followers, desperately argue and are willing to quarrel to convince others, which doesn’t benefit their masters at all but instead draws more dissatisfaction. Under this influence, the perception of South Koreans among Chinese people could arguably not be worse. This person who posted the bounty to destroy the South Korean THAAD System on the internet is most likely a Chinese person with an extreme aversion to South Korea, hence they were willing to spend their savings to take out the peeping Tom device South Korea placed on China’s doorstep.
When Yan Fei first saw the bounty task on the Dark Web, he initially didn’t take it to heart. However, as he browsed the news on the internet and saw the massive amount of insults from South Koreans or their hired trolls, he was instantly enraged and determined to help that person achieve the goal of destroying the THAAD System within South Korea’s borders.
There’s a saying, “Still waters run deep.” After causing a huge stir in Europe, Yan Fei promptly returned to China and stayed quietly at the Company, farming for as long as half a year. During that time, Yan Fei didn’t go out at all. His life was utterly mundane, seemingly belonging to a different world compared to his previous life of continuous thrilling adventures. Therefore, after being calm for half a year, his adventurous spirit began to stir again, craving some action. The bounty task appeared at just the right moment, and coupled with his displeasure towards South Korea, he decided to deploy his Drone Avatar to make a big deal.
After recent self-improvement, Yan Fei had become more cautious. Although he decided to take on the task of destroying the THAAD System, he didn’t immediately log in with his “Destroyer” account, nor did he accept the bounty task using that account. Because he wasn’t sure if the task was a trap set by someone to target him, and if he accepted the task, it would be like telling everyone, “The Destroyer is coming, prepare yourselves!”
On the Dark Web, tasks posted are invisible to others except for the person who posted them. Only when a task is completed is the person who completed it revealed by the system, showcasing their capability. So if the task is a trap, the moment the Destroyer accepts it, the person who set the trap would immediately be aware and prepare to counter the Destroyer.
It’s for this reason that Yan Fei planned to first go to South Korea, destroy the THAAD System, and only after completing the task, to then accept the bounty. In this way, he would avoid exposing his movements. He wasn’t taking the risk for the meager amount of bounty money; it was to prove that the Destroyer still existed and to demonstrate the Destroyer’s strength to the underworld, commanding respect. Otherwise, with the Destroyer’s half-year absence, people might suspect that the Destroyer had been dealt with.
