After Ji Siyue's parents returned to China, they decided to settle down here. First, they asked their company headquarters to transfer them back. Then they sold their overseas property and bought a new one in China.
Finally, they remarried.
Ji Siyue watched her family reconcile, but then she thought of her mother's illness. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should be happy or sad.
Nan Ye didn't quite support Ji Siyue's live - streaming career, but Ji Siyue couldn't just give it up. So she continued to live outside and bought a house for her parents near the central hospital, so that it would be more convenient for them to fight against the illness in the long run.
Ji Siyue finally resumed her live - streaming.
After going live, the first thing she had to deal with was what had happened to her in the previous few days.
Many people in the live - streaming room were asking questions.
"Why has Mooncake been getting lazier these days?"
"Yeah! Other streamers are working so hard. Why don't you live - stream?"
"Seconded!"
Ji Siyue had already anticipated that someone would ask this question. Instead of avoiding it, she decided to admit it directly.
"I've had some family issues recently, like moving, family members getting sick, and my parents returning from abroad. I've been really busy. Please forgive me. I'll make up for this month's quota in the next few days. Who said they wanted to stay in my live - streaming room? Now's your chance!"
True to her name, Ji Siyue managed to turn the situation around with just a few words.
Most of the viewers in the live - streaming room just wanted an explanation. Since she had explained, they naturally accepted it.
She had just gone live for a short while when the world chat in the game exploded.
[World] Brother: Everyone, hurry up and grab some popcorn! It's on the game forum and the official Weibo! It's so exciting!
[World] Mengmeng: What did I miss again?
[World] Handsome Guy: I just finished "eating the melon". All I can say is that Ji Yueji is amazing!
[World] Love: I'll go and check it out!
Ji Siyue looked at the conversations on the public screen and couldn't help but feel confused.
Was it related to her again? What on earth had she done?
Without any hesitation, Ji Siyue scrolled the screen on her computer and directly opened the website. The top - pinned post was [Punishment Regulations for Player Xinghe Linjian].
As soon as Ji Siyue saw this name, she understood — it might be about the cheating scandal she had with Xinghe Linjian. Had the game's official finally completed their investigation?
She clicked on the post. First, the data of the few PK matches she had lost to Xinghe Linjian came into view. Looking at it now, it was truly a miserable sight.
[After analyzing the data of the two players, it was determined that during the competition, the operating habits of player Ji Yueji were indeed her own, while those of player Xinghe Linjian were suspected to be someone else's. The following is the analysis:]
Below were some pictures.
The first one showed the IP addresses where Ji Siyue often logged in. The specific addresses were blurred, but it was obvious that for the past two years, she had been logging in from her school and rental house addresses. In the past few days, it had changed to the address of the house she had bought. Since most people knew about her house - buying, there was no detailed explanation here.
Below that was Xinghe Linjian's login address.
The previous ones were his usual addresses, but during the PK with Ji Siyue, the first game was from his usual address, while the second and third games were from an address in a different province.
There was only a ten - minute interval between them, spanning across a whole province. It was impossible to say that Xinghe Linjian could teleport himself to another province to change computers and continue the PK.
This meant that during the second and third games, Xinghe Linjian had someone from another province play on his behalf.
Normally, while the official didn't support cheating, there was no explicit ban on it. However, this incident had caused such a big stir and had a significant impact. After the official had investigated and found out the truth, in order to appease the public's anger, they had issued this punishment post.
Finally, the punishment for Xinghe Linjian was: deduct all his current points, ban him from the game for a month, and prohibit the Biboting team from ranking this year.
This team often mocked others, not only the Zhaocai Jinbao team but also other teams.
So when this punishment regulation was announced, almost everyone cheered and was very satisfied with it.
But Ji Siyue couldn't be happy.
Because while she was looking at this notice, she suddenly received a warning.
[Elder Sister Fanghua]: The platform asked me to tell you to try to cause fewer problems in the future. This incident had a huge impact. Although it wasn't your fault, it has had a certain impact on your popularity. If possible, you'd better create a CP with your master, Huangfeng, to win back your audience.
Ji Siyue stared at this WeChat message for a long time. Finally, she actually laughed.
She was laughing out of anger.
She felt that she hadn't done anything wrong in this matter, but why... did it seem like she was the one causing trouble now?
She had just been seeking justice for herself.
After thinking for a while, she still didn't say anything. She closed WeChat and focused on her live - streaming again.
"This incident has finally come to a conclusion. I'd like to reiterate that I didn't mean to cause trouble on purpose. I just wanted to seek justice. Some people might say that the team was a bit unlucky because of Xinghe Linjian's mistake. But in my opinion, the members of the Biboting team often verbally insulted my team members in the world chat. I think it's not excessive for their team to receive such a punishment."
"You're right. Although this incident might have had a negative impact, I don't think Siyue did anything wrong!"
"Exactly! If seeking justice for oneself isn't supported, then there's something wrong with this game!"
After a while, people in the live - streaming room started saying that Huangfeng had posted on Weibo.
Ji Siyue took out her phone and logged into Weibo to check.
[Huangfeng: I heard about what happened today. I'm very happy that it has come to a perfect end. I'll always support justice.]
One comment below particularly caught everyone's attention. It was from an official of the game "Sanction".
[Thank you, great master, for your supervision of our game. We're committed to creating a better game environment. We hope that all players will continue to supervise us.]
The comments below.
"What does this mean? Does it mean that if it weren't for Great Master Huangfeng, the punishment might not have been so severe?"
"Wow, he's really protecting his 'wife'! I'm in love!"
Ji Siyue knew the inside story. When she lost the game back then, Huangfeng had gone out to make a phone call. She had vaguely guessed that he might have been contacting the official.
But even though she knew, looking at these now, she still couldn't help blushing.
