Chapter 84: Natural

A CERTAIN topic on [Cyberspace] was starting to get a lot of attention.  It was about the hostage taking incident that happened at the food section of a certain mall.  It just so happened that one of the people in the food section where the incident happened was a small food vlogger and they were doing a live broadcast when it happened.

So, all of their viewers witnessed everything.  At first, the viewers were just there to watch the excitement.  Although some were genuinely worried about the vlogger, most had the attitude of eating melons. 

Until the scene of the hostage taker being apprehended happened. 

They saw a handsome young man courageously took down the hostage taker.  Even quickly dismantling the bomb.  Although the young man was truly eye-catching, there was someone who was even more eye-catching than him.

It was the beautiful teenager with black hair and a pair of dark obsidian eyes. 

Everyone in the audience just lost it when they saw such a teenager.  It almost felt like everything around them just stopped moving and all they could see was him.  That was how strong his visual impact was.

That particular clip of him taking off the hat and glasses he was wearing was posted by the viewers of that live broadcast.  Because they all wanted to share to everyone that, somewhere in their Emperor Star, such a beautiful person existed.

And just like what they thought, it immediately attracted a lot of people and quickly became a hot topic.  It even entered the top 50 hot topic list of [Cyberspace].  Which was already huge considering that the other was not even a star.

[Can someone tell me who this person is?  I want to marry him!]

[Yes!  Let's go to a fertility lab and quickly combine our genes together!]

[Where did such a fairy come from?]

[A person with both black hair and black eyes, just when was the last time we saw someone like that?]

[Is this a teaser of a new movie?] – A lot of people asked this question because they'd only seen this clip and didn't know about the hostage taking incident.

[If this is a movie, I'll want to buy a ticket now!]

[Maybe it's for an advertisement.]

[Or maybe a weekly series.]

[Does anyone know which entertainment company handles him?  I want them to release his information!]

[Yes, tell us his name!  I'll be his fan from now on!]

[Don't be selfish and quickly introduce your artist to us!]

Of course, if there were people who couldn't wait to hold the black-haired teenager in their palm, there were also a lot of sunspots who appeared. 

[Huh, what kind of hype is this?  Are people nowadays couldn't wait to be a hot topic that they would even dye their hair and wear contact lenses just to be noticed?]

[This guy probably had attention deficiency that he would even pretend to be special even though he's not.]

[Tsk.  Can't anyone see that his hair and eye color are not natural at all?  You people are really blind.]

A lot of the same opinion followed.  But not even 30 minutes passed and they were quickly slapped.

[For those saying that we are blind, then I want to return that statement to you.  Have you all forgotten that it wouldn't even take 10 minutes to process whether his hair or eye color are natural?  And FYI, just in case you idiots didn't get the sarcasm there, yes, they are natural.]

It's because there was a program that could automatically check if the image of a person captured by a Terminal or a camera was true or not.  If one was wearing a wig or a contact lens, this program could check that.  It could even tell if one had undergone plastic surgery or was physically changed in any kind of way. 

Because of this program, no one could use edited pictures or videos of themselves to become famous.  It also made it nearly impossible for those who had their facial features altered to be popular.

This program was made 300 years ago by a genius programmer who felt like he had been cheated by his favorite star.  He found out that the black hair that the star was so proud of was dyed, even his face had undergone plastic surgery.  To let out his grievances, the programmer made that program and exposed the star.

Since then, this program had been really popular.  And as centuries passed, it became more and more advanced.  Now, almost all Terminals had this program installed.  It also now became a huge part of the entertainment industry.  It's a way for fans to be able to tell if the appearance of the stars they're admiring was true or not.

And now, during this online debate, this program really came in handy.

[I almost forgot that I have that program.  I was almost swept away by these sunspots!]

[I also checked.  And the teenager's hair and eye color are indeed natural.]

[I did the same.  And yes, they are natural.]

[Natural+1]

[Natural+2]

[Natural+98]

[To all those sunspots, do your face hurt now?  It's probably already swelling, right?]

[Really, jealous people just can't accept that such an excellent person exist in this world.]

[What I want to know right now is the name of this beauty.  Is there no one who could tell me?]

[Should we just wait until this movie is released?]

[I'm sorry to disappoint everyone.  But this is not a movie.  It's just a clip of the live broadcast of certain food vlogger.] 

This particular comment garnered a lot of attention. 

[Upstairs!  Explain properly!]

And so, the hostage taking incident was revealed to everyone.  After that, these netizens just became even more enthusiastic.  After all, a beautiful boy who also had the heart to help others in need, especially when he's not aware that he's being filmed was infinitely better in people's eyes than a simple pretty vase.

This hot topic continued to ferment.  Although it wasn't able to break through the top 40 hot topic list, the black-haired teenager was still able to amass a few number of fans.
