### Chapter 24: Summoning Little Leftie
Ye Chui quickly checked the forums.
He found that not only in the 'Match-3' download posts but also in the Software Alliance discussion boards, many posts suddenly appeared mocking 'Match-3.' These were obviously from paid trolls, and they weren't even professional—the replies were often identical, just copied and pasted.
Did they think everyone was stupid?
However, the netizens in this world were still quite naive. The concept of paid trolls was new here, and this was just a rudimentary form, but it was already quite effective. Since the trolls appeared, Ye Chui noticed the download rate for 'Match-3' had significantly slowed down.
In short, the people in this world were too easy to deceive.
Ye Chui frowned, thinking about what to do.
He now had a large group of die-hard fans. Seeing someone deliberately smearing him, these fans had already started fighting back against the trolls. The leader was naturally Dugu Qiushou, and these fans kept repeating a phrase during the flame war: "Summon Little Leftie!"
"Little Leftie?" Ye Chui was puzzled, so he searched the name on Qiandu.
He soon learned that Little Leftie, whose real name was Zuo Xiaoyou, was an editor on the Software Alliance. She was a genuine beauty, known for her calm demeanor and black-framed glasses, making her very popular. Apart from being a beauty, she was highly dedicated and maintained the forum's operation.
Whenever the forum needed her, summoning her name would make her appear...
And sure enough, half an hour after the trolls appeared, Little Leftie showed up!
She swiftly deleted the malicious posts against Professor Cross and 'Match-3,' and froze those users.
Seeing this was gratifying, Ye Chui quickly opened Zuo Xiaoyou's forum space and sent her a private message: "Those trolls are awful. Thanks a lot."
This was just a gesture of politeness, but to his surprise, he got a reply in seconds: "My communication number is xxxxx. Please call me."
"Hmm? She wants me to call her?" Ye Chui was puzzled.
However, he thought about it and then dialed the number.
Soon, his call was connected.
A slightly husky yet pleasant female voice asked, "Professor Cross?"
"Yes, it's me." Ye Chui smiled. "Thanks for helping delete those troll posts."
"That's my duty," Zuo Xiaoyou replied, then curiously asked, "What's a troll?"
"Oh, those are people hired to deliberately smear others," Ye Chui explained briefly.
This world was similar to his original one in many ways, but many internet terms were still absent. Ye Chui was used to those terms and often blurted them out unconsciously.
Zuo Xiaoyou made an acknowledging sound, seeming to agree with the term 'troll.' She smiled and said, "These trolls are really annoying. It looks like many people are jealous of your success. By the way, Professor Cross, have you thought about creating your own website?"
"My own website?" Ye Chui was taken aback by the suggestion.
In fact, he had considered it. He wanted to set up a website dedicated to gaming news, introducing game concepts and providing game-related information and strategies once the games were released.
Zuo Xiaoyou continued, "I originally proposed to the chief editor to create a gaming section, but he said the gaming category wasn't mature yet and rejected it. However, I think your game concepts have great potential, so I wanted to ask if you need help setting up a dedicated gaming website."
This was the main reason Zuo Xiaoyou had contacted Ye Chui.
"That would be great," Ye Chui agreed quickly, then asked, "I'm not very knowledgeable about website construction. Will it require funding?"
"No need, you can treat this website as your personal official site," Zuo Xiaoyou replied with a smile. "I'll handle the rest."
Hearing this, Ye Chui thought for a moment and then agreed, "Alright, but I have some good ideas for the website. Maybe we can meet to discuss them. I'm in Yanjing, where are you?"
"I'm in Xishi City," Zuo Xiaoyou answered. "I'll be going to Yanjing this weekend. Let's meet then."
"Okay."
The call ended.
Ye Chui smiled. A gaming website? Not bad.
As a seasoned gamer, Ye Chui was very familiar with various gaming websites and often posted strategies on them. He had already planned to create a gaming website, and this situation made it even better.
"Meeting Little Leftie this weekend?" Ye Chui looked up Zuo Xiaoyou's leaked photo online. Black-framed glasses, calm and elegant, a true beauty. Ye Chui chuckled, "Not bad, not bad. Even though I was reborn as a cripple, my luck with beauties hasn't diminished at all..."
...
In Xishi City, at the Software Alliance forum office building, the real-life version of the beautiful Zuo Xiaoyou was sitting at her desk, her fingers swiftly moving on the light screen.
Deleting posts and freezing accounts, she was in her element.
She looked even more stunning than in the photo, with a composed and serene aura. The black-framed glasses added to her charm. Wearing a professional outfit and black stockings with high heels, she epitomized the alluring office lady.
Suddenly, a bald middle-aged man rushed out from a nearby office and approached her. "Xiaoyou, who told you to delete those posts? Stop immediately!"
Zuo Xiaoyou paused and adjusted her glasses with her middle finger, looking at the man. "Chief Editor, what's wrong?"
"Stop deleting those posts. SB Company's people contacted me. Those posts must stay, or we'll offend them," the chief editor said urgently. "Also, remove the highlighted and pinned posts about Professor Cross on the forum homepage!"
"Aren't we supposed to uphold principles of fairness and justice? This isn't right," Zuo Xiaoyou frowned. "Those posts are obviously dubious. If we continue, netizens will talk."
"Who cares about what they say? If we offend SB, we'll have bigger problems," the chief editor said hastily. Knowing Zuo Xiaoyou's stubbornness, he added threateningly, "Xiaoyou, either delete those posts, or resign!"
Zuo Xiaoyou looked calmly at the man, then silently resumed her actions—continuing to delete the posts without negotiation.
"You... do you think I won't fire you?" The chief editor was furious. "Fine, Zuo Xiaoyou, you're fired."
"According to Huaxia Employment Law, since you're terminating me, you need to pay me three months' salary as severance," Zuo Xiaoyou said, stopping her actions and addressing the editor.
The chief editor's face twitched. "Fine, I'll pay you!"
He was angry. Despite Zuo Xiaoyou's popularity, her defiance infuriated him. It was just three months' salary. The chief editor opened his portable computer and made the payment with a few clicks.
In the digital age, salary payments were very convenient.
Then he coldly looked at Zuo Xiaoyou. "Now can you leave!?"
"No." Zuo Xiaoyou checked her account and smiled faintly.
"According to Huaxia Employment Law, on the day of termination, the employee is obligated to complete their work for that day. Since I've accepted your severance pay, finishing today's work becomes my duty. If my work is without error, you have no right to interfere with my final duties. And my actions of deleting posts and freezing accounts adhere strictly to the forum editing rules. You have no right to interfere. So..."
Zuo Xiaoyou adjusted her glasses again, smiling gracefully. "Chief Editor, can you leave now? I need to continue deleting posts and freezing accounts."
Chief Editor: "..."
