Chapter 28 I've Become a Meal Replacement?
Chapter 28 I've Become a Meal Replacement?
Lu Li took the milk, but felt uncomfortable all over.
It felt so strange to be treated like a fragile item and handled with such care.
He would rather they treated him like before, ordering him around or complaining about his laziness.
Walter was not there; he seemed to be in his room doing something.
Dan Heng, however, was exactly the same as usual, simply nodding indifferently when he came in.
As expected, Danheng.
You are my last salvation!
If only others had the same calm and collected mindset as Danheng...
Oh well, they'll probably calm down after a while.
Lu Li silently took a sip of milk to calm his nerves, then took out his phone to check the news.
As soon as the lock was opened, Lu Li almost spat out the milk he was drinking.
The screen was flooded with message notifications.
"Ding-dong! Ding-dong..."
['Lu Li, My Pure Love, the God of War' has followed you.]
['Lu Li, don't die!' has followed you.]
[I've followed you, 'Let me see Lu Li one more time QAQ'.]
[Your follower count has surpassed 100 million! Congratulations on becoming a well-known interstellar blogger!]
Your follower count has surpassed 300 million...
Your follower count has surpassed 500 million...
Lu Li stared at the constantly fluctuating numbers on his "A Salted Fish" account.
Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions...
What's going on?
Besides March 7th and Pam, only one other person followed his account: a GG bot that sells tea.
His profile picture is a photo taken on March 7th of him slumped in a chair yawning. He usually posts nonsense like "The weather is nice today, perfect for sleeping" and "Coffee with sugar, heretic!"
How did I become a million-follower influencer overnight?
Lu Li opened the interstellar social platform, and the screen was filled with the words "Lu Li".
**#Lu Li's Pure Love God of War# [Explosive]**
#Lu Li, One Man, One Sword, One Army# [Boiling Point]
Did you shed tears for Lu Li today? [Hot]
**#Kafka's heartbreak# [Recommended]**
**#Putailo Star Harbor Ruins Become a New Popular Tourist Spot# [New]**
……
Various topics related to him dominated the top ten of the trending search list.
Lu Li casually clicked on a topic, and the content inside opened his eyes even more.
There are also countless "research enthusiasts" and "analysts" who analyze every frame of the sky.
Some people have analyzed Lu Li's swordsmanship.
They say it's an ancient killing technique that has been lost for a long time, with each move aimed directly at the vital points without any unnecessary actions.
Some people have analyzed Lu Li's physical attributes.
It is said that he must have undergone some kind of inhumane modification in order to fight for so long in that environment.
Some people even started digging deeper into the name "Lu Li" in an attempt to find out which reclusive family he was a descendant of.
of course.
Most of them were his "fans" who shed tears for him.
"Waaaaah... My tears are worthless, screenwriter, you have no heart!"
"He just wanted to teach her to be afraid, but he himself became her greatest fear in life... That knife was too cruel!"
"I hereby declare that from today onwards, Lu Li is my one and only male god. Anyone who dares to say a bad word about him will be the first to object!"
the most important is……
Looking at the comments under his account, Lu Li's expression was very strange.
Although the whole universe is talking about him.
But almost everyone assumed that Lu Li, the brilliant and talented man who ultimately destroyed himself in the sky, was dead.
And just then...
For some unknown reason, someone dug up his social media account "I Want Salted Fish," which he registered three years ago and only had three followers.
Then things spiraled out of control.
Because everyone who has seen the sky knows that "Lu Li" has already turned into stardust in Putaro.
So when they found someone with the same name and looked exactly the same.
My first thought was: it couldn't possibly be him.
How could a cosmic-level hero who vanished into thin air possibly be working as a salted fish logisticsman on a train?
The contrast is just too great.
However, given that the "Lu Li" in the sky is already dead, the living "Lu Li" in front of us becomes the outlet for the audience's emotions.
Then, something amazing happened.
"Brothers, come quick! I've found an unlucky guy with the same name as the God of Pure Love!"
This post caused an immediate uproar.
Countless netizens flooded into Lu Li's homepage, only to find his few posts and signature:
Personal signature:
As long as I lie flat enough, the inward curl won't reach me; but as long as there's even the slightest chance to turn over... I'll just turn over and continue lying down.
Latest news:
"The weather is so nice today, perfect for sleeping in."
"The freshly brewed coffee failed again, and Pam refused to drink it."
"When will I be able to retire...?"
Upon seeing this, the tone of the comments section instantly shifted.
"Hahaha, that's hilarious! This guy knows how to 'play it safe'."
"Confirmed, this is definitely not the God of War. The God of War wouldn't be so incompetent!"
"But I suddenly had an idea—since the God of War is no longer here, how about we use this salted fish as his 'substitute meal'?"
"Let's just say the God of War finished his battles, got tired, and chose to live the carefree life he wanted in a parallel world!"
"Great idea!!!"
The proposal spread like wildfire.
Lu Li's fan base exploded at a visible rate.
One million, five million... the numbers keep jumping.
The comments section was full of things he couldn't understand.
"God of War, you've worked hard. Now you can rest well for the rest of your life."
"Seeing you still making coffee puts my mind at ease. You must live well!"
"Today is another day I'm thinking about retiring, God of War. We're all the same."
The final result was...
—Lu Li on the sky is a hero, a white moonlight.
It is a source of deep regret for everyone.
—Lu Li on the Starry Sky Train is an ordinary person, a salted fish.
It is a "meal substitute" for heroes.
People projected their pent-up emotions—love and regret for the heroes—onto this "meal substitute."
They pay attention to him and interpret his every word.
They tried to find even a trace of heroism in his mundane and boring life.
This is what is known as "alternative literature".
Lu Li stared at the screen with a very strange expression.
and so.
"I... became the universe's meal replacement?"
Lu Li stared at his phone screen, his lips twitching.
What is this?
I'm cheating on myself?
No, am I speaking for myself?
It doesn't seem right either.
After all, whether that was really his "past life" is still questionable... What kind of nonsense is this?!
What's going on?
He just wanted to go online and read the news.
How did it inexplicably become the "meal replacement" for the entire universe?
Lu Li silently closed the comment section, feeling that his worldview had been severely impacted.
Are the viewers' imaginations a little too vivid?
What can we do? He really doesn't want to be famous anymore.
How did your account get exposed?
Lu Li sighed and was about to turn off his phone when...
A private message suddenly popped up.
