90: Chapter 90 Are you trying to exploit a bug here?
Just as Chen Sheng wanted to piece together the event using clips from various short video platforms, he found that when he opened the shopping app and searched for keywords, all videos related to the protests in Qingjiang District had completely disappeared from search results.
Not only the shopping app, but also TikTok, Xiaohongshu, and other apps had no such related videos.
It was as if this incident had never happened.
"WTF! That was way too fast!" Chen Sheng complained speechlessly.
He guessed that the sensitive topic might trigger censorship, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Sure enough, the Almighty Censorship is everywhere.
Chen Sheng resignedly tossed his phone onto the coffee table. Since the Almighty Censorship had already been dispatched, speaking up now would be like walking straight into the line of fire, and he wasn't stupid.
"For a major event like subway planning, they probably, possibly, should not compromise because of the protests of a few people."
At this moment, he had to bring out the Ah Q spirit method; otherwise, what else could he do?
Of course, he went out, took the elevator to the basement level, brought up the silk banner, and then waited for An Xiaonuan to return so they could hang it on the study wall under her guidance.
It was perfectly positioned on both sides of the desk. Sitting in the middle, framed by the banners on either side, it was as if the light of righteousness was truly shining upon him.
It felt like the whole room had brightened up.
The next day!
Finally, the weekend had arrived.
Last night, An Xiaonuan had made grand wishes: today they would go shopping, watch a movie, go to an amusement park, eat delicious food...
In short, she wanted to vent all the frustration accumulated from five days of work over these two days.
However, the weather was not on her side... No, the weather was actually very "on her side." At 7:40 in the morning, dark clouds gathered in the sky, accompanied by thunder and gusts of strange wind. In just a moment, the rain had turned into a downpour.
Summer rain is always more sudden.
Woken up by the thunder, Chen Sheng squinted at the gloomy sky outside, turned over, pulled An Xiaonuan back into his arms, and closed his eyes again.
The next second, Chen Sheng's eyes snapped open. He pulled his hand out from under An Xiaonuan's neck and silently thought, "Open system panel."

Considering An Xiaonuan was right there, he didn't rub his hands this time and directly opened the unread intelligence.
【Today's Intelligence 1: The price of crayfish will rise slightly over the next month.】
Chen Sheng: "What kind of intelligence is this?"
He was speechless.
It was already the end of July. Every year, crayfish go off the market around the end of August or early September. Of course the price would go up during the final frenzy of the year!
This wasn't even an issue, okay! This is a normal fluctuation of market laws. This is common sense.
Chen Sheng looked down.
【Today's Intelligence 2: Ai Shang Digital on the third floor of the Digital City opens today. Opening time is 9:18. The first twenty customers to arrive will have a chance to enter a lucky draw. The top prize is a new Apple phone, and the winning ticket has been manually taped to the top of the lucky draw box with double-sided tape.】
"What is wrong with this world? Can we have a little more sincerity and a little less trickery?" Chen Sheng looked up through the glass at the dark sky shrouded in storm clouds and couldn't help but sigh: "Sigh~"
Although the intelligence didn't mention the phone model or specifications, the latest Apple phone would cost at least several thousand, right?
But given the situation outside, going out would be looking for trouble... No, looking for abuse!
"As expected, you still have to rub your hands before opening a blind box!" After sighing, Chen Sheng closed the system panel, wrapped his arm back around An Xiaonuan's neck, pulled her into his embrace, closed his eyes, and fell back asleep.
He slept until noon. When he woke up again, it was still drizzling. Judging by the looks of it, the rain would likely last all day. Chen Sheng was happy about this because he wouldn't have to be An Xiaonuan's companion for the day.
However, it seemed he was happy too soon; the weekend lasts for two days.
When Sunday arrived, perhaps because all the moisture in the sky had been drained yesterday, the sun came out exceptionally early. At seven, or even before seven in the morning, the sunlight had already pierced through the clouds and shone upon the earth.
Under An Xiaonuan's tugging, Chen Sheng was forcibly "powered on." With bleary eyes, he asked speechlessly yet dotingly, "What are you doing?"
"The sun is already shining on your butt! Get up quickly. It's sunny today. We'll go out for breakfast first, then go shopping in the morning—I ran out of skincare products ages ago. In the afternoon, we'll go to the Global Center; I heard a new escape room opened there with a very classic script. In the evening, we'll watch a movie. My colleague said this newly released [xxxx] is very touching, and I've been wanting to see it for a long time. I've already bought the tickets."
Hearing his entire day planned out so clearly, Chen Sheng really wanted to shrink back into the covers.
At this moment, he inexplicably missed Old Yu.
Because he was the only one who had no sense of boundaries; day or night, rain or shine, he might invite him to go fishing.
However, An Xiaonuan had clearly anticipated Chen Sheng's move. Just as the thought sprouted in his mind, An Xiaonuan's "soft touch" had already reached his weak spot.
Then, a twist!
"Hiss~" It was certainly refreshing; he wasn't sleepy anymore.
Seeing Chen Sheng instantly open... no, widen his eyes, An Xiaonuan retracted her hand with satisfaction and got out of bed. As she walked toward the bathroom, she instructed, "I'm going to wash up first. If you haven't gotten up by the time I'm done, hmph hmph~"
Chen Sheng: "..." Threatening him? Was he the type of person to be threatened? Impossible!
Based on a girl's morning routine, he could definitely finish reading today's intelligence before getting up without it being too late.
"Open system panel!"

"WTF! The system has a conscience today!" It was his first time seeing three unread intelligence reports, and Chen Sheng was simply stunned.
So... this time he rubbed his hands.
He kept rubbing his hands until they were hot, and only then did he open the unread intelligence.
【Today's Intelligence 1: Ai Shang Digital on the third floor of the Digital City is holding an opening promotion today. The first twenty customers to arrive will have a chance to enter a lucky draw. The top prize is a new Apple phone, and the winning ticket has been manually taped to the top of the lucky draw box with double-sided tape.】
Chen Sheng: "????" Opening yesterday, opening promotion today, what's going on? System, are you exploiting a bug?
System: "No! The store is exploiting a bug!"
Chen Sheng looked at the intelligence on the screen, his hand subconsciously rubbing his chin. Since he had received this intelligence for two days in a row, it seemed he had no choice but to take this phone.
After all, the ancestors said, "If heaven gives you something and you don't take it, you will surely be punished by heaven."
Chen Sheng grabbed the phone from the nightstand, opened the navigation app, set the destination to the Digital City, checked the surrounding streets on the map, and soon had an idea.
With a plan in mind, Chen Sheng turned his gaze back to the system panel and continued reading the second intelligence report for the day.
【Today's Intelligence 2: "Cat Paw Coffee" at the corner of the first floor of the Digital City opens today. Opening hours are from 8:30 AM to 9:00 AM. The first ten customers to consume in the store can enjoy one free drink of their choice.】
