96: Spreading rumors is illegal? What does that have to do with me spreading national folk songs?

???

!!!!

Watching the Stream, the currency research experts from Little Sun Country were dumbfounded, their mouths agape as fake IDs, masquerading as people from unknown countries, spouted 'scientific' explanations on the public screen.

“Baka!!”

“What are these idiots babbling about?!!!”

“Since when has our Yamato Nation issued a 100,000 yen banknote since its founding?!!”

“Baka baka baka!!!”

The currency research expert in the wheelchair was practically driven mad with anger.

He was Hinata Wada, the chief supervisor for the printing and production of the latest version of the yen.

He had worked in the bank since his thirties and had been fortunate enough to participate in two currency exchange and issuance events.

It could be said that Hinata Wada was arguably the most senior and experienced elder in currency research in Sakura Country today.

Now, seeing the currency he had painstakingly designed being effortlessly counterfeited by a junior on an international Stream, coupled with the barrage of rumors flooding the comments, the old man nearly fainted from anger, his vision going black.

“Teacher Hinata! Teacher! Are you alright?!”

“Hinata-kun, please don't get angry!”

“Quick, someone, help Mr. Hinata back to rest.”

On site, other currency experts also watching the Stream saw this, their expressions changing drastically, and they quickly called for someone to attend to the elderly titan of Sakura Country's currency world.

“Don't, don't mind me!”

“Quick, shut down this broken Stream! Don't let those guys online spread rumors and lies!”

“When did our Sakura Country ever produce a 100,000 yen banknote?! And secretly issue it to the public, only providing it to bank executives?! These guys want to twist right and wrong! Slander our Yamato Nation!”

The old man yelled loudly, his face flushed with urgency, and he tried to struggle to the screen to passionately argue with the comments, despite the dissuasion of those around him.

“Teacher, this, this Stream is a global broadcast, we don't have the authority to shut it down.”

“If you can't shut it down, then why are you all standing around here doing nothing! Hurry up and go online to explain it clearly!”

“If those guys twist right and wrong and make something that didn't happen seem real, you, me, all of us will not be able to bear this responsibility!”

“But Teacher, if we haven't issued a 100,000 yen banknote, why can that banknote pass the currency detector's inspection?”

At this moment, one of the younger people asked in a small, uncertain voice.

Hearing this, the old man angrily smashed the water cup in his hand and cursed loudly.

“You ask me, who should I ask?!”

“Our Yamato Nation has never issued a 100,000 yen banknote! You'd rather believe outsiders' rumors than your own country? Who promoted you?!”,

“Baka baka! Someone, fire him now!”

Even after the young man was fired, he still maintained a shocked expression on his face. He truly couldn't understand why he was fired just for asking that one question?!

On site, the currency experts remaining in front of the large screen were now all in fear for themselves.

At Hinata Wada's request, everyone logged into their accounts on Facebook and Twitter Streams and began to explain in the comments.

“Shameless! The 100,000 yen banknote passing the currency detector must be an accident! Our Yamato Nation has never issued a 100,000 yen banknote!”

“Exactly! This guy must have used some despicable trick to deceive everyone! Everyone, please don't be blinded and believe it as true, this is spreading rumors and slandering.”

“Right! Slander and rumor-mongering! If he's so capable, let him take it to an outside currency detector, he definitely won't pass!”

...International Stream.

Regarding this sudden influx of comments questioning Su Yu and repeatedly arguing that Sakura Country had never issued a 100,000 yen banknote, Huaxia Country netizens were first stunned, then immediately became energized.

Good heavens, after a quick look at the usernames and IP addresses, they were all from Sakura Country.

The real owners have arrived!

However, being so eager to whitewash, they didn't even have time to change their names and addresses, which was not very wise.

And so.

A dramatic scene unfolded in the international Stream.

As the all-powerful Huaxia Country netizens flooded into the Stream like a torrent, countless accounts with Sakura Country names and IDs became active in the comments.

In the Stream, the Sakura Country people began to babble incoherently, as if their brains hadn't fully developed, engaging in internal conflict.

“The fact that a 100,000 yen banknote can pass a currency detector means it's recognized domestically! It's just that the general public doesn't know about it.”

“Impossible! There must be something wrong with the currency detector! Our country does not have a 100,000 denomination banknote! Never, from ancient times to the present!”

“Just now, I specifically asked my elder who works in a bank, and he said that the 100,000 yen banknote has been issued for many years, but it indeed hasn't been made available to the public! I don't know where the Streamer got this sample banknote from!”

“Nonsense! When did our Sakura Country ever issue a 100,000 denomination? I am an elder who works in a bank! I don't have a grandson like you!”

“Who are you calling a grandson! I am your dad!!”

“???”

“Ah, no, no, not little devils. Anyway, you imposters, could it be that you are deliberately trying to disrupt the morale of my Sakura Country and stir up internal conflicts?”

“???????”

Hinata Wada watched the outrageous comments on the screen, fuming and glaring!

He had seen shameless people! But he had never seen such shameless people!

It was bad enough that they were impersonating Sakura Country people, but they were also deliberately leading everyone to believe that the 100,000 yen banknote was real!

What were their intentions?!

Most critically, this guy clearly had ten flaws in every sentence. Yet, countless people, also using Sakura Country IPs, expressed support, questioning the Sakura Country government! Questioning the rationality of the 100,000 yen banknote's existence!

With such a global broadcast, once the Sakura Country people themselves began to doubt, netizens from other countries naturally enjoyed watching the drama unfold.

Seeing such a lively scene, many other foreign friends also began to fan the flames, secretly changing their avatars and IPs, and joining the army of skeptics.

Thus, in a short time.

Overwhelming numbers of Sakura Country IDs launched attacks on their own government in the Stream!

The public was furious, condemning them verbally and in writing!

The momentum was such that it seemed they would not rest until the existence of this 100,000 yen banknote was confirmed today!

And as the culprit.

An unknown enthusiastic netizen from Huaxia Country stated: “Spreading rumors is illegal? Sorry, but what does that have to do with me spreading national rumors?”
