Chapter 187: He's gone mad, this Tang Fangjing has completely lost it! (Thanks to Silver)_2
Time quickly reached the third day, and the online quarrels had vanished, as if the judgement hadn't caused any ripples at all.
After fermenting over several instances, many people had grown weary of the whole thing, criticizing the need to announce every little update, spouting a few curses to no effect—what was the point of banging on about it.
Surfing the internet should be fun, not about seeing these kinds of irksome issues.
Not to mention that many platforms inherently limit the flow of such stories, like when Old Tang, in his past life, was falsely accused of subway voyeurism. Even though he was innocent, his efforts to prove it were heavily throttled, and at one point, he could only gain visibility thanks to his audience buying traffic for him.
It's only because Old Tang still has his "golden body" intact that many platforms refrain from messing with him. In fact, many people are just waiting for him to die off; once he's gone, all would be calm.
Without anyone to stir up such baffling issues, everyone would be better off, how nice that would be.
Old Tang continued as usual, forwarding the message and then staying silent online; today, he received a call from the Internet Court's Case Filing Chamber.
"It's passed the review, right? Good, good, no problem."
After hanging up the phone, Old Tang looked at Wang Qingqing who was massaging his shoulders behind him and said, "Take a break, Qingqing, I'm about to post an announcement!"
Wang Qingqing's eyes lit up at his words: "Brother Tang, is it finally starting?"
"It's finally starting. No matter what they do, I'll keep at it!"
Soon enough, Old Tang started drafting a message. He intended to send it out simultaneously across all major platforms on the net, making sure that every single player who had recharged in the "Fly High" game knew about it.
You don't have to do anything else; just move your fingers to send over your recharge records and screenshots, and the rest will be handled by Tang Fangjing.
If you're unwilling to even do this much, then Old Tang can't help you; in matters of rights protection, the parties concerned have to take some action.
He soon finished editing, and on Wang Qingqing's suggestion, Old Tang attached a photo—a picture secretly taken by Wang Qingqing back when they were in Hanxi Province, capturing Old Tang's silhouette from behind.
Looking a bit thin but with a straight, unbending spine, and because of the angle, it looked as if he could withstand countless storms.
The post went live, and Old Tang set down his phone—it was about to get busy.
Within a college in Magic City, twenty-year-old college student Jiang Lili was bored, playing with her phone in the dormitory, feeling there was no good news on the internet recently.
Either it was about internet anchors fixing prices, or it was about hard-grown medicinal herbs being snapped up due to hype; in any case, it left people feeling unpleasant.
Just then, Jiang Lili saw a notification—Tang Fangjing had updated his feed.
As a long-time viewer of Tang Fangjing, in the past, Jiang Lili would have clicked in without hesitation, but now she felt annoyed.
Mainly because she felt such litigation was pointless; even if you were Lawyer Tang, you would be helpless.
She too had played the "Fly High" game, recharging a total of maybe a few dozen yuan, an amount she wouldn't bother taking action over.
Still, might as well check it out—she clicked in and then froze.
"To all players who have recharged in 'Fly High', greetings. There has been a lot of commotion on the internet recently; many have been saying my lawsuit was meaningless, that it's a waste of judicial resources, that it could never impact the game company."
"Well then, I have now filed a class-action lawsuit with the Internet Court, and the case has been registered. Now, all of you who have recharged, if you wish to participate in the rights protection, you just need to send the listed relevant materials to the email below and then don't worry about the rest..."
The textual content was unexpectedly lengthy, far longer than Tang Fangjing's previous posts.
Jiang Lili, staring at the screen, was stunned—Lawyer Tang was going to lead a major action!
Even though the post didn't mention anything about being free, the subtext between the lines was that he was offering to organize everything without charge, to help send it to the court for registration.
She quickly opened the comment section, only to find it had exploded!
"Little Fangfang": Damn, holy shit, that's awesome, I'm sending my info right now, never expected such a thing, I absolutely have to join in!
"Oh My Little Lover, Don't Be Sad": No words needed, Lawyer Tang is badass. What have those who said it was useless got to say now? Stand out! It's only been a few minutes and already the registration count has hit a thousand, it's blowing up!
"My Tiga in the Northeast": Dammit, I really want to join in, @Meitian Group, how about you open a new server, I recharge a bit and then you shut it down? Seeing you guys participate is more painful than killing me!

The deeper you scrolled, the more ridiculous it got; there were even big brothers enlightening the netizens on the class-action lawsuit system.
"Asuna My Wife": Class-action lawsuit means that the court decides on a few representative cases, then once you register, it automatically comes into effect. This is our country's unique collective lawsuit system...
No need to ask who the big brother was; the netizens below immediately got disgruntled.
"The guy above, isn't Rem your wife? Fighting over wives with me, huh? I'll end you, you little brat!"
Jiang Lili wiped the sweat from her forehead, thinking these anime fans really were a bit crazy, but this was something she definitely had to take part in!
And just like Jiang Lili, there were many others—after all, when "Fly High" mobile game was popular, many people had recharged during various gold-digging events.
