Chapter 67 : The Privileged Dog
The Privileged DogAlthough the expected situation was bad, it wasn't entirely hopeless.
At least the person taking secret photos didn't manage to capture Gu Yanxi's face clearly. For Cecilia, this was already the best-case scenario.
The location of that bank was a full two kilometers away from the apartment complex where the two of them currently lived—and that was just a straight line distance.
If you extended the radius to the surrounding area, it would cover a large circular zone, spanning nearly twenty square kilometers and almost encompassing the entire southern district of Xijiang City.
Moreover, the southern part of Xijiang City had always been popular among working people because of its low land prices and cheap rent. Apartment complexes and urban villages were everywhere, and there was a large transient population. At night, the streets outside would be teeming with crowds that moved like a surging tide.
In such a vast area, trying to pinpoint two girls who rarely left their home was as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
At the very least, those frenzied players would definitely not be able to find Gu Yanxi's home in a short period of time.
For Cecilia, who now had a net worth of twenty million, this period of time was already enough for her to find a new foothold anywhere in the country.
So, for at least a week, the two of them wouldn't need to worry about those two secretly taken photos.
After hearing Cecilia's analysis, Gu Yanxi finally felt a little more at ease and stopped being as tense as before.
However, after a short silence, she continued to ask, "Then what should we do about this post? There are more and more replies below it."
Cecilia took out her phone, opened the forum, and sure enough, as Gu Yanxi had said, in just a few minutes over a hundred more replies had appeared under the post.
What's more, after a day of work and study, eight or nine o'clock in the evening was the true peak of internet surfing for most people.
By then, the exposure of this post would undoubtedly go to another level, and it could easily become the hottest topic on the forum's homepage. That was naturally the last thing Cecilia wanted to see.
Thinking of this, Cecilia picked up the cup on the coffee table, fetched a cup of cold water from the water dispenser, took a gentle sip, then sat down on the sofa, forcing herself to calm down while carefully contemplating how to respond to the situation.
First of all, if she wanted to prevent this secret photo incident from fermenting further, that "焐亿漆ba坝灵 奇翏1" post had to be deleted—no doubt about it.
And the sooner, the better.
This is the real world, not a game. When all is said and done, Cecilia was still just a delicate girl with no strength to truss a chicken, far from being able to do what she did in the game—take a knife to the poster's throat and force him to delete the post.
That would be neither ladylike nor legal.
As for how to actually delete the post, Cecilia would need to think about that more carefully.
Those who think control those who labor; those who labor are controlled. The first solution Cecilia thought of was to contact the forum's official staff—the privileged dog—and have them use admin privileges to deal with the post.
It had already been mentioned that the post contained two secretly taken photos, posted without the subjects' consent by the thread starter. While the post had caused a huge stir, it had also brought a lot of trouble to the two involved.
Therefore, as the one most harmed by the post, Cecilia was entitled to appeal to the forum administrators and have them delete it.
However, the post had already been up for several hours, with high popularity and reply numbers, and it was about to top the forum's homepage. Logically, the admins should have noticed it by now.
And yet, the post hadn't been deleted right away. Did the admins not think there was anything wrong with the post's content?
No matter what the admins thought, she still had to file a complaint. After browsing the forum homepage briefly, Cecilia quickly found the 'report appeal' button.
However, upon pressing the button, what popped up on her phone screen wasn't the usual options for reporting content, but a black dialog box.
After waiting a few seconds, a line of text popped out from the left side of the screen.
"Dear player [Cecilia], how may I help you?"
A robot customer service?
In an age of highly advanced technology, when even holographic virtual network space technology had been developed, this wasn't strange at all.
But why would a robot customer service appear in the report appeal button? That was unclear.
After casually organizing her thoughts, Cecilia pulled up the small keyboard and typed back:
"I want to report and delete a post that violates the rules; what's the procedure?"
Based on the usual speed of AI, Cecilia expected that after just a second or two she'd get a system solution. What she didn't expect was that several dozen seconds passed, and still nothing happened on the interface.
What's going on?
Did my phone freeze?
She exited and refreshed the page, but there was nothing wrong with her phone. On the interface, the dialog box still only showed two lines, exactly as it did before.
Just as Cecilia began to grow suspicious, finally another line of small gray text popped up in the middle of the screen. It didn't seem like customer service, but more like a system notification.
[Please wait, you are being connected to your dedicated customer service representative]
"Dedicated customer service..."
Cecilia muttered. At that moment, she did not think of anyone else, but of System Miss in the game, who always spoke in an extremely calm tone, providing all sorts of prompts in Cecilia's mind.
At last, a few seconds later, a brand new dialog box popped out from the left side of the screen.
"Hello, miss Cecilia. According to this system's real-time calculation, the highest-efficiency and most time-saving way to delete the post has been automatically selected for you."
......
"Miss Cecilia, congratulations! You are now an administrator of the forum!"
Staring at the message on the screen, Cecilia sat dumbfounded on the sofa, put down her phone, a dazed look on her face.
To her, something that should have been extremely complicated—was it really settled so easily?
Handing out privileges so casually—was a forum admin's position really so worthless?
A smile gradually lifted the corners of Cecilia's lips. She picked up her phone again and reopened the Legend of Kaloran forum homepage.
Glancing at her personal info, sure enough, under the blank avatar slot, a little badge had appeared.
———[Administrator]
In addition, there were now three small vertical dots at the far right of every post, allowing the admin to delete posts, delete replies, or mute users at will. The mute time ranged from ten minutes up to 999 days.
These were the privileges of a forum administrator.
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
Here comes the privileged dog!
