The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead-Chapter 159 - Is This Considered Plagiarism?

Chapter 159: Chapter 159 Is This Considered Plagiarism?

Fu Yunhe’s live stream exploded in popularity at an astonishing speed.

It made many similar hosts uneasy.

Each of them had to host thousands of live streams before they gradually built up their current status, but what about him?

He became an instant hit with just a plate of dumplings.

Fu Yunhe had not been streaming for even a month, yet he had already amassed over a hundred million fans.

Even with the large population of interstellar people, reaching a hundred million fans was no small feat.

...

After all, there were so many entertainment options that the audience was already spread thin.

For instance, those who enjoyed novels might not be interested in live streams. Then there were gamers, drama chasers, etc., and not to mention the people focused on cultivation who did not participate in entertainment.

Therefore, the most successful host to date only had about two billion fans. Yet once you have over a hundred million, you are already considered a major host who dominates a market.

A market is only so big.

If you eat more, someone else eats less.

A female host named “Little Sweet” also did food live streams because her family had a slightly damaged cookbook.

Before each live stream, she conducted many experiments to piece together the incomplete recipes, and sometimes they weren’t even correct.

Still, with her cute face and the effort she put in, she had also accumulated over a hundred million fans, and her fanbase had always been stable.

But during her recent streams, she noticed a rapid loss of fans, who slowly migrated to Fu Yunhe’s live stream.

This guy was a formidable rival, indeed.

However, Little Sweet believed that Fu Yunhe would soon run out of ideas. Otherwise, why would he go back to making fries and fish?

No one could continuously come up with new recipes. If they could, why bother with live streaming? Why not just open a restaurant?

It’s known that restaurants are one of the most lucrative businesses in the interstellar community.

After all, with virtual eating available during live streams, many people were satisfied spiritually and did not necessarily go out to buy real food.

Little Sweet and her team analyzed Fu Yunhe’s past videos and finally decided to throw mud by starting to accuse him of plagiarism on the Star Network.

Truth wasn’t necessary, just damaging his reputation would suffice.

“The dumplings from Host Xiao He are just a cheaper version of buns, right?”

“Finally, someone said it. They’re too similar to our Tiantian’s buns.”

“And even the name is changed, from buns to dumplings, tsk tsk tsk!”

“It still seems okay, though, the flavors are quite different.”

“Haha, different? Both are just filling wrapped in dough, cooked either by steaming or boiling. What’s different?”

“Your buns can be boiled?”

“What’s the difference between this and plagiarism?”

“This doesn’t count as plagiarism though, does it? The food really isn’t the same, and there are no boiled buns!”

There were still many people on the Star Network who thought rationally, but the opposing Water Army was also not to be underestimated.

They insisted that Fu Yunhe’s dumpling creation was plagiarized from Little Sweet’s buns.

Although it was a stretch, it was not completely implausible.

Once the accusation of plagiarism settled, all rights to the dumplings would have to be handed over to Little Sweet, as she did not have the generosity of Nian Shutong—she had patented all her dishes.

If someone profited from using her dishes, she was entitled to compensation.

It was not until the following morning that Nian Shutong heard about this.

Fu Yunhe had briefly explained the current situation to her, as the matter was already making waves on the Star Network.

The opposition had certainly put in the effort.

“Plagiarism? With her indescribable buns?” Nian Shutong said dismissively as she looked at the pictures Fu Yunhe had found: “They’re not even as good as my Ha Ha’s buns, are they?”

You should know, Ha Ha had always been the one to knead the dough; he had never gotten around to wrapping the buns himself.

Nian Shutong wasn’t upset after hearing the news; she nudged Fu Yunhe with her elbow and asked, “Tell me, beautiful, isn’t her cooking skill worse than mine?”

Fu Yunhe’s face was definitely struggling to keep a serious expression as he held back his laughter.

“You’re right, she’s nowhere near as good as you.”

“That’s right! Only a beauty recognizes another’s brilliance.” Nian Shutong nodded in satisfaction and motioned for Fu Yunhe to put away the Light Computer.

She patted his arm and reassured him, “Don’t worry, it’s a trivial matter.”

“Oh? I’m not worried,” Fu Yunhe’s expression was very telling—as he genuinely wasn’t concerned.

“Not bad, not bad. You’re taking after me,” Nian Shutong said, meandering off to eat breakfast first. After breakfast, she stopped everyone in their tracks.

“Today, we’ll practice with flour.”

With that one sentence, Fu Yunhe understood Nian Shutong’s plan.

He knew that sitting around and doing nothing was never Nian Shutong’s style.

That day, everyone spent their time playing with flour—most of all, it was Fu Yunhe who played the most.

To what extent? He fed Ha Ha enough to make it nearly unable to eat any more.

The drama on the Star Network continued to unfold, with Yu Zeming joining the fray himself, personally using the main account of his own livestream company to enter the battle.

On Star Blog.

Yu Zeming: Following this logic, would eating rice be illegal? Would Cultivation be illegal? If I walked down a road someone else has walked on yesterday, should I chop off my leg and hand it over to them?

His extremely sarcastic words threw Little Sweet’s camp into a bit of a panic.

At Little Sweet’s home.

“What’s happening? Why did Yu Zeming get involved?”

“I don’t know, that Xiao He really didn’t sign with any company.”

“They probably have their eye on Xiao He’s livestream.”

“What do we do now?”

“What do we do? Tonight, we livestream making dumplings. They boil, we steam. Cement him as a plagiarist.”

“Alright.”

Little Sweet’s Star Blog account quickly posted an announcement about her livestream that night.

Announcement: Let’s show you how real dumplings are made!

[Aiyo. Little Sweet is going to livestream dumplings.]

[How else would you make dumplings? Little River has already taught everyone in All Star.]

[Exactly, she taught everyone completely for free, how can you prove the dumplings are yours?]

[Black fans upstairs, go away. Our Tiantian has always relied on herself the whole way here.]

[Right, what gives your unknown livestream the right to compare to our Little Sweet?]

[Mustn’t say anymore, the fans of this place are sick.]

Lots of people started to fight it out again on the Star Network.

On the other side, without an account, Fu Yunhe couldn’t get involved, but Nian Shutong had two accounts.

If not now, then when?

Nian Shutong logged into both accounts and shared a notification from Fu Yunhe’s livestream.

Earth Bar: Sharing Little River’s livestream—let’s have fun with flour tonight? The world of flour isn’t limited to just buns.

Text Mover: Sharing Little River’s livestream—let’s have fun with flour tonight, shall we? Please don’t use your ignorance to show off as if it’s something special, ridiculous!

[Oh my! Host big big is so tough!]

[I love it! That’s the way to do it!]

[Immortal Slaying is on the scene again to lend you a hand.]

[I’m feeling so pumped!]

[I’m locking in the big big livestream tonight.]

[Shameless. Plagiarism!]

[Oh my, what is this that’s wandered in! Bring me my fire poker, kill her with it.]

[How dare you come here and act so brazenly, as if we Immortal fans are pushovers.]

In the comment section, any comment that tried to contradict was viciously attacked by Immortal Slaying fans.

The Earth Bar side was fortunately a little more cultured and hadn’t formed a strong fan cohesion, so it was a take-it-or-leave-it situation for most.

But the Immortal Slaying camp was different; they have a love-hate relationship with Text Mover but wouldn’t allow others to insult it.

Not even through the comments section was it permissible to insult others.

Didn’t you see? Our Wengong is protecting Little River Live.

As Nian Shutong watched the lively comment section, she called for Daodao and said, “Daodao, open a new book for your book fans. They’re pretty cute.”

“They are cute; I got it, Master.”
