Superstars of Tomorrow Chapter 494

With the matter of [AliveAfter500Years] settled, Nanfeng was much more relaxed as the remaining matters weren't that urgent. Nanfeng then gave a report of work matters for the past few days and discussed with Fang Zhao about the plan to purchase land.

On the topic of buying land, Nanfeng excessively praised Fang Zhao for his farsightedness. Because Fang Zhao had not made a move back then, wouldn't he now be able to pool money to purchase an even larger plot of land to construct his collection hall?

Now, Nanfeng clearly understood he just needed to follow Fang Zhao's instructions. Fang Zhao was much more knowledgeable compared to himself when it came to news and directives of the upper echelons.

Nanfeng finished reporting all his matters before asking his questions.

“Boss, wasn't this lockbox always kept in the storehouse? Are you using it to safekeep belongings? I heard from someone that these electronic lockboxes can't be binded to a personal terminal. You won't know immediately if it is taken, and it may be difficult to retrieve.”

Nanfeng meant that this sort of electronic lockbox wasn't secure enough. It wasn't meant for important items.

Fang Zhao nodded, indicating that he understood.

Nanfeng didn't say anything else after that. But, he felt that Curly Hair's sobs had become louder.

Since Fang Zhao didn't have any comment on his report, Nanfeng no longer took up Fang Zhao's time. Fang Zhao still had to handle matters related to the game.

This incident had caused quite a huge disturbance this time, especially in the esports circles. It was as if a hurricane had passed through and changed the perspectives of many. Thus, “#Crazy point-sweeping demon 2.0” became the topic of the year in esports circles.

While he lamented about his boss's ability to create news, Nanfeng walked over to Curly Hair's side by the wall.

Nanfeng had accomplished his official work and now had time to console Curly Hair. His heart ached tenderly for this little dog.

He patted Curly Hair's head and used a piece of tissue paper to dab away Curly Hair's tears.

“Did you cause trouble again?”

Even though Nanfeng reckoned it was Boss mistreating Curly Hair, Nanfeng still had to ensure his own survival when he was still in Fang Zhao's hearing range.

Within this range, everything that Boss did was correct! The employer was king.

Therefore, he could only blame Curly Hair. Sigh.

Curly Hair cried even harder when Nanfeng said that. He looked really miserable.

Nanfeng hurriedly continued wiping away Curly Hair's tears with the tissue.

“Oh, don't cry, don't cry. Curly Hair, don't cry. Are you hurt?”

Nanfeng scrutinized Curly Hair's body carefully and didn't notice any injuries. Although Curly Hair was crying really hard, his posture facing the wall still seemed fine. Yan Biao and Zuo Yu didn't seem worried either, so Nanfeng relaxed a little. But why would Curly Hair cry over nothing? Nanfeng thought a little consolation would help.

Curly Hair bawled without caring about anything else. He took no notice of Nanfeng.

First, he was upset that his precious things had been confiscated by Fang Zhao and he wouldn't be able to play with them.

Secondly, he had received a beating.

This was the first time he had ever received such a beating.

Is this how it felt like being hit?

Every single hit felt as painful as his flesh being cut up.

Of course, Curly Hair didn't know why it hurt so much. His body didn't really feel it. He didn't understand that it was actually his heart hurting each time he was struck.

Before he began the beating, Fang Zhao had instructed Curly Hair to focus his attention on his emotions to make sure he would remember this lesson. His body's pain was secondary.

On top of the confiscation and his beating, Curly Hair was also miserable because he still had homework and tests.

Fang Zhao's opinion was that since Curly Hair could game for twelve hours straight, it meant that he had too much free time. Thus, his online lessons and assignments increased. The question bank was refreshed. The quizzes every three days became daily quizzes, and now there were also three exams per week.

Also, since he had caused a topic of the year, Curly Hair had to write a composition on this hotly discussed topic. An 8000 word essay was to be submitted within a week.

Therefore, after Curly Hair was done facing the wall, he had to attend classes, do homework, take tests, and write a self-reflection essay.

Just the thought made Curly Hair's head hurt. Nanfeng's efforts to soothe him didn't have any effect. After all, Nanfeng couldn't help him write essays.

Then, his dog ears picked up a phrase: “Make amends for your mistakes by doing good.”

He understood this phrase. It had come up in a test a few days back.

Nanfeng was still talking.

“Curly Hair, Boss will be happy if you do good deeds. He might even reward you! For example, go catch thieves! Bite them with all your strength! Especially those paparazzi taking sneak shots. Bite first, talk later!”

Curly Hair had already gotten a rabies shot before and this island was private property. In Nanfeng's opinion, any trespasser who was bitten deserved it!

Most reporters wouldn't dare mess with a meritorious service dog.

“Bite if you find one! Bite both if there are two! Bite as many as you can! I will take responsibility for any issue!” So what if they get bitten? How serious can a small dog's bite be?

Yan Biao and Zuo Yu: “…”

The heck! Stop instilling such terrifying thoughts in him!

Do you even know how big his bite is?!!

He can even eat a mecha!!!

And you will take responsibility if there is any issue? Can you even handle it?!!

Nanfeng didn't notice anything wrong with his words and continued, “Of course, if you come across anything you can't handle, just call out and start running! Your tiny life is a priority!”

Trespassers who can evade the island's security systems are surely very capable. Curly Hair is but a tiny dog. If he really encounters a trespasser, barking out a warning is already accomplishing his duty. This is a meritorious service dog and a priceless treasure we are talking about! Nanfeng's heart would ache if even a strand of Curly Hair's fur was hurt. He didn't want Curly Hair to defend the house with his life. It was okay for Curly Hair to stay a pet. Was there any need for Boss to have such high expectations for Curly Hair?

Nanfeng sighed multiple times as he thought to himself.

Curly Hair had only listened up to “make amends for your mistakes by doing good”. His eyes lit up.

Nanfeng smiled when he noticed that Curly Hair had finally stopped crying. He shot Yan Biao and Zuo Yu dissatisfied looks.

“*Sigh*, when I'm not here, you guys should spend more time with Curly Hair. Boss is always busy. If we can't help with other stuff, we can at least look after the dog. Besides bringing him for walks, you guys should still talk to Curly Hair. Dogs need company!”

Yan Biao and Zuo Yu: “…”

They had stiff looks on their faces.

We eagerly await the day where you discover his true form. Will you still be able to say that so calmly at that time, dear comrade?

On the second day after the “crazy point-sweeping demon” had caused a racket in the esports circles, Fang Zhao and Silver Wing jointly made a statement clarifying that this wasn't any special battle strategy of Silver Wing's and that it had all been Fang Zhao's own personal actions. Furthermore, Fang Zhao publicly announced that he wouldn't be giving up music and that he wouldn't log on in the next one month.

Despite his explanation, not everyone believed what he said.

“Leaving after showing off?”

“After this incident, Fang Zhao's God status is cemented and unshakable. Everyone who witnessed this will always remember him. It feels like Fang Zhao has some other strategy in mind.”

“Not necessarily. Fang Zhao might just be seeking inspiration. Them artists are very crazy.”

“Maybe he was just letting off some steam playing games because he is under a lot of pressure?”

“Is he really not gaming anymore? How about playing for another couple of days! I just started playing this game! I even had the intention of making a pilgrimage to see God!”

At the retirement home for former officials in Yanbei.

Great-grandfather Zhao had a relieved smile after seeing Fang Zhao's latest announcement.

Great-grandfather Fang preferred music over esports. He felt that music was more prestigious. For many people, esports wasn't part of the arts.

Of course, if Fang Zhao chose to give up music and reenter the esports scene once again, Great-grandfather Fang would also support him wholeheartedly.

After Fang Zhao's statement, some in the family clan's group chat said that Fang Zhao was “getting addicted to gaming while slacking off from music”. Great-grandfather Fang immediately responded to them.

“Little Zhao just has wide interests and many talents!”

There were some who weren't happy. “When our children lay games, you call them slackers, but when Fang Zhao games for twelve hours straight when he's supposed to be composing, you call it 'having wide interests and many talents'?

“This is totally double standards!

“This is bias!”

Great-grandfather Fang didn't feel that he was in any way wrong. He replied righteously, “How can this be compared? Your little children sneak off to play games before doing a single bit of homework. When have they passed a single examination? Look at Little Zhao! Were any of his music works shoddy? Were there any that weren't exquisite! Was there any piece that didn't fetch a high price?! Who can say he is wrong for playing games when he has made good music?!”

Of course, Great-grandfather Fang couldn't deny that he was biased.

No, this is just human nature!

Isn't it normal to be biased? What's strange about it? Everyone has bias!

After Fang Zhao became the ambassador of the Outer Space Immigration Plan, Great-grandfather Fang had even specifically called other children, grandchildren and later generations individually to knock some sense into them. He didn't want them to burden Fang Zhao.

No one is to seek out Fang Zhao with regards to the Outer Space Immigration Plan. Settle your difficulties on your own! After all, it is only still at the application stage. Whether you want to immigrate or establish a foothold on a second home, this old man doesn't give a damn! If you are capable, go ahead! But, I will cut ties with anyone who tries to use Fang Zhao's status as image ambassador to bend the rules!

Everyone in the Fang family knew that this old man was stubborn and his bias knew no boundaries. They could still request some help from the old master if they faced difficulties in their life or career but they could forget about anything else besides that.

The people in the retirement facility knew Great-grandfather Fang's favoritism the best.

After Fang Zhao's joint statement with Silver Wing was released, Great-grandfather Fang started to get lively in the retirement facility group. He started enthusiastically talking to anyone who would listen.

Everyone in the retirement facility, take note!

I am going to start showing off now!
