97: Urgent! Little Life is issuing an emergency clarification!

Currency experts and Huaxia Country netizens engaged in a heated debate.

Meanwhile, the real Sakura Country populace was like headless flies, unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

The names and IDs of both parties in the live stream clearly belonged to Sakura Country citizens, yet their statements were completely different.

One side vehemently denied that the Sakura Country bank had ever issued a 100,000 yen banknote exclusively to high-level capital.

The other side, however, was full of intense skepticism.

The banknote had clearly passed the currency detector's inspection, with both human and material evidence present, so what was there to argue about? The national government was simply being deceptive and deliberately hiding things from them!

Both sides held their own opinions, each supported by evidence.

This left the ordinary people of Sakura Country unsure whose words to believe for a time.

However, as common folk in Sakura Country, the general public tended to believe the latter.

In this world rife with conspiracy theories, seeing is believing, and hearing is not.

Today, under the witness of a global live stream, they personally saw a 100,000 yen banknote pass a currency detector.

Although it was a Huaxia person who exposed this truth, they didn't care about the other party's nationality. What they cared more about was the Sakura Country government's reaction after the incident came to light!

However, the government's actions clearly disappointed everyone once again.

Instead of stepping forward immediately to bravely admit the problem, they engaged in a mutual tearing match with netizens in the live stream.

This, in turn, further solidified the perception that they were trying to cover up the facts.

How does that saying go? Explaining is concealing, and concealing is the truth!

"Enough, no more explanations! We're not fools; we won't believe whatever you say!"

"The eyes of the masses are sharp; we only believe what we see!"

"Government, speak up! What's the deal with the 100,000 yen banknote?!"

"Damn it! I've lived for decades and have never seen a banknote with a face value of 100,000. Not to mention old versions, even the latest issue is something I'm seeing for the first time today!"

"Disgrace! This is simply the greatest disgrace for Sakura Country! We only found out about something like this through a foreigner's exposure!"

The real netizens of Sakura Country were filled with righteous indignation, protesting wildly against the government's deception and its secret issuance of a 100,000 yen banknote.

In the foreign live stream room.

Looking at the completely out-of-control Sakura Country netizens, Hinata Wada felt his temples throb wildly.

The next second, he saw black and completely fainted... Kuaishou Platform live stream room.

Su Yu looked at the astonished and exaggerated praises in the bullet comments, chuckling softly.

His fans were really giving him too much credit!

With such a group of fans, even a dead thing, he could probably talk it into being alive.

He hadn't expected that the 100,000 yen banknote could pass the currency detector's verification.

However, what was certain was that there definitely wasn't a 100,000 face value yen banknote in this world. The fact that it passed was most likely because his currency detector was manufactured to identify anti-counterfeiting technology when it left the factory.

In other words, the currency detector couldn't actually detect information on the banknote's design; it could only detect the anti-counterfeiting technologies present on the banknote.

In fact, this setting wasn't problematic at all.

A country's circulating currency usually has seven or eight, or even more than a dozen, anti-counterfeiting technologies.

What else could perfectly replicate all of them without a single difference, except for banknotes from the same series and origin?

So, this couldn't be blamed on the manufacturer of the currency detector.

If anyone was to blame, it was only Su Yu for being so outrageous, replicating all the anti-counterfeiting technologies on the yen! Plus, he exploited the bug where the currency detector couldn't recognize patterns, only anti-counterfeiting technology!

This is what led to the current scene.

However, since the audience in the live stream enjoyed creating dramatic effects, and he had now successfully verified the 100,000 yen banknote, he naturally couldn't dampen their spirits.

Su Yu seized the opportunity and spoke.

"Both the ten thousand yen note and the 100,000 yen banknote have successfully passed the currency detector."

"So where are those haters from before? The group that said Sakura Country's currency couldn't possibly be replicated? Answer me! What is this?!"

"Perhaps some people are still very confused right now. If the yen doesn't have a 100,000 face value, then why could it still pass verification?"

"I think instead of questioning the Streamer about this, it would be better to ask the Sakura Country government. I believe they will provide an answer everyone expects."

Having passed the verification, he naturally spoke with more confidence.

Even though he knew the 100,000 yen banknote was fake, Su Yu still spoke with righteous indignation, standing tall and straight.

Anyway, he never said that the 100,000 yen banknote was a currency issued by Sakura Country and was definitely real.

Didn't he also, out of curiosity, ask netizens to inquire with the Sakura Country government?

As for whether fans and netizens would let their imaginations run wild or have other whimsical thoughts, that was none of his business.

Within Sakura Country.

At ten o'clock that evening.

Multiple news stories simultaneously topped the national daily news.

"New Edition Yen's Maximum Face Value is 100,000, Is It True or False?!"

"Government Secretly Manufactures 100,000 Face Value Currency, Only Issued to Capital – What is the Purpose?"

"A Famous Foreign Streamer Successfully Replicates 100,000 Face Value Yen, Attracting Global Attention."

"Renowned Financial Experts State that the Sudden Appearance of a 100,000 yen banknote Will Most Likely Cause the Yen to Depreciate, and the Yen's Influence in International Currency Will Continue to Decline!"

"Sakura Country's Finance Will Be Completely Shattered, the Public Needs to Strive for Their Own Interests!"

Upon seeing these news stories simultaneously trending, the Sakura Country government was also completely stunned, as if struck by a heavy blow.

No.

When did they issue a 100,000 yen banknote? How come even they didn't know?

And the analysis was well-reasoned, explaining why the 100,000 yen banknote wasn't widely circulated: fear of causing a financial crisis, so it was all held by capital.

Where did this rumor even come from!

When the Sakura Country government urgently contacted the National Currency Manufacturing Regulatory Committee, they only then learned the terrible news of Hinata Wada's unconsciousness.

In desperation, the Prime Minister of Sakura Country could only attend a press conference late into the night to urgently debunk the rumors!

At the same time, they used the most influential news publishing platform to release a statement globally.

"Sakura Country has never issued a 100,000 yen banknote! Nor does it intend to create other impacts on world finance!"

"Everything is a rumor!"

"We ask global netizens not to maliciously forward or speculate on Sakura Country's government affairs! Timely stop the spread of false statements. The Sakura Country government thanks everyone for their cooperation!"

"At the same time, we strongly condemn the source of the rumors and call on global netizens to boycott vulgar live streams!"

"Finally, we sincerely apologize to the citizens of Sakura Country! Regarding the unexpected issue with the currency detector, we will adopt more rigorous inspection methods to ensure the authenticity of the yen."

"The new edition of the yen will suspend printing and issuance from today! We will unify all recalls and add new anti-counterfeiting technologies! To ensure the yen remains one of the most difficult currencies to counterfeit globally!"
