Chapter 74: Song Haitang is Actually One of Us from South Korea

Chapter 74: Song Haitang is Actually One of Us from South Korea

【Congratulations to our two genius Extraordinary Beings, Song Haitang and Zhao Zheng, for their glorious achievements once again. In the Second Spirit Realm, they have obtained the SSS Perfect Task Evaluation, setting a new world record...】

【Achieving the SSS Perfect Task Evaluation twice in a row is a breathtaking accomplishment! The outstanding performance of the two students has also shown the world the formidable strength and profound foundation of the Extraordinary Beings from Xia Country...】

After waking up, Zhao Zheng saw the country's largest official media outlet, "People's Daily," dedicating an entire page to reporting on his and Song Haitang's feats.

Of course.

The coverage on Song Haitang was undoubtedly much more extensive than his.

People's Daily portrayed Song Haitang as a positive role model, using highly complimentary language.

In the end, they even concluded with a sentence of high caliber...

【The one who chases the light will shine brightly!!】

Well done!

A well-written article!

Zhao Zheng expressed his full approval of this piece.

After all, it was all about his wife.

Apart from People's Daily, various news media outlets were also covering the story.

At this moment, anyone who opened their phone would undoubtedly come across the name "Song Haitang"!

Because the entire internet was abuzz with discussions...

"Holy shit?! Breaking records twice in a row and achieving the SSS Perfect Task Evaluation? That's freaking awesome!"

"The Second Spirit Realm? I remember it being extremely dangerous! How could they achieve such results as a team? They are indeed formidable."

"It's truly unprecedented! With this foundation, Song Haitang will definitely become a top-tier powerhouse in the future, right?"

"Absolutely! As long as Song Haitang doesn't encounter any setbacks, she is bound to reach the pinnacle of power!"

"Song Haitang is so powerful, she's the country's hope!"

"Most importantly, her appearance is also goddess-level, incredibly beautiful! She's truly exceptional, and I wonder which bastard will be lucky enough to have her in the future?"

...

These were relatively normal comments from netizens.

There were also many abnormal comments...

"I must correct you all; the truly remarkable one is Song Haitang. Her teammate doesn't deserve such glory!"

"Exactly! That little boy is just a freeloader, and the fact that Goddess Haitang can carry him proves her extraordinary abilities."

"She has already achieved the SSS Task Evaluation twice in a row. Shouldn't Zhao Zheng be content? I hope he knows when to quit and leave my goddess soon, so he doesn't hold her back."

"Exactly! It's not easy for us to have a strong female Extraordinary Being. We can't let her be dragged down by that meathead. If he has any self-awareness, he should leave on his own. What a jerk!"

"??? I'm saying, can you guys use your brains? Without Zhao Zheng's Burn Burn Fruit Power, could Song Haitang have achieved such feats? Moreover, after two consecutive SSS Task Evaluations, have you calculated how many Spirit Energy Points Zhao Zheng has accumulated? He's also a rising powerhouse among the freshmen!"

...

Topping the national trending searches!

Headlining various news media outlets!

As well as blogs, forums, short videos... Every place where netizens gather is currently discussing Song Haitang.

She's on fire!

Song Haitang is indeed blazing hot! Perhaps her current fame doesn't surpass that of renowned seniors, but if we're talking about the highest domestic traffic, it's undoubtedly Song Haitang.

Even Zhao Zheng's popularity has skyrocketed!

However, netizens' evaluations of Zhao Zheng are mixed, unlike Song Haitang, who receives nothing but praise.

Apart from dominating the domestic scene.

On the foreign side, the two of them are also gaining traction.

Many well-known foreign media outlets are covering the story.

However, the tone and style of foreign media are entirely different from those in the country.

For example, a media outlet from the Federation wrote:

【Why didn't such a genius be born in our Federation? Is God abandoning us?】

The Eagle Empire's media was very direct, calling out:

【Song, our Eagle Empire greatly needs talents like you. We hope you will join the Eagle Empire, and you will receive heroic treatment!】

South Korean media is shameless beyond belief:

"According to a reliable investigation, the genius girl Song Haitang is likely a descendant of the renowned general Song Sunchen from the era of King Seonjo. Therefore, Song Haitang is actually one of us, a South Korean!"

"Oh, I knew they would pull something like this. It's exactly as I expected."

"No wonder they're Koreans, it's typical of their behavior."

"What surprises me is that you're all still surprised by such news?"

...

Even Zhao Zheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw what the South Korean media had to say.

As expected, whether on Bluestar or Earth, Koreans are indeed a peculiar bunch!

The next day.

Zhao Zheng arrived at school.

He suddenly noticed that the security level seemed to have been significantly enhanced.

The most noticeable change was the increased presence of numerous young and robust security guards at the entrance.

In a 6-9-1-8-1-3-1-2-6 version!

Previously, Zhao Zheng could enter the school freely.

Now, he had to present his student ID for the guards at the gate to let him in.

After entering the school.

Zhao Zheng could sense that the atmosphere within had become more solemn.

Security guards were patrolling everywhere!

Moreover, these guards were unfamiliar faces, each with sharp eyes, clearly elite, and they all carried weapons at their waists.

And those weapons seemed to be the real deal! Seeing these changes, Zhao Zheng vaguely guessed that something had happened...

He went to Class B and, as soon as he sat down, he asked the student next to him.

"Why are there so many security guards in the school all of a sudden?"

"Hmm? Don't you know, Zhao Zheng?"

Seeing Zhao Zheng shake his head, the student explained, "Last night, several bounty notices suddenly appeared on the dark web, all targeting Song Haitang, and the rewards are enormous... Just search online, People's Daily just published an article condemning this act, but the notices were all posted anonymously, so no one is taking responsibility, and they can only denounce it."

Zhao Zheng was taken aback.

He initially thought it was Magneto trying to seek revenge for his daughter by issuing the bounty, but his classmate said there were multiple notices?

It seems Song Haitang's performance has made many people uneasy!

He immediately took out his phone and went online, discovering that public opinion had indeed shifted.

Domestic netizens were angrily cursing the bounty notices on the dark web.

"Damn! Who posted these bounties? What are they trying to achieve?"

"Do we even need to ask? It's obvious they saw how exceptional Song Haitang is and are afraid that her growth will change the world order, so they want to eliminate a genius, right?"

"Fk! This is so shameless!"

"I don't understand why they're doing this. Don't we, as humans, have a common enemy? Every year, countless heroes sacrifice themselves on the beyond-border battlefield. Why are they doing this?"

"Hmph, wherever there are people, there will be conflict. Intra-faction struggles are in our DNA. They would rather see humanity destroyed by external enemies than witness you having a better life than them!"

"The person above is right, that's just how humans are!"

...

As Zhao Zheng scrolled through the netizens' comments, he pondered silently.

The appearance of the bounty notices and the sudden presence of so many elite security guards in the school was enough to indicate that Song Haitang had caught the attention of higher-ups.

Those elite guards were undoubtedly dispatched by the authorities!

The school certainly didn't have the financial resources to hire so many elites as security personnel.

"By the way, Zhao Zheng!"

As Zhao Zheng was deep in thought, the student next to him suddenly spoke up, "There's also a bounty on the dark web targeting you..."

"Oh?"

Zhao Zheng's eyes lit up!
