Little Pink Starfish

The greasy pony man was once again pushed to the center of public attention.
He had signed a contract with that unlucky entertainment company, and now that there was a lawsuit, of course they wanted to push him out. Since the incident originally arose because of him, who else could handle it if not him?

Even though the greasy pony man thought he had been very meticulous, after working hard for so many days, a plagiarism scandal broke out, and even the entrances and exits he used were blocked by countless reporters, making it completely impossible for him to escape. Every time he wanted to go out, microphones were shoved into his face, and he couldn’t explain himself. No one believed whatever he said—moreover, he couldn’t even make up an excuse.

What was even more frightening was that, in order to clear their name, that entertainment company kept investigating. And with the clues secretly provided by the private detective hired by Qiguan Rui, they discovered that the identity under which the greasy pony man signed the contract—
Was actually a fake! A fake!
And what kind of person would do something as fraudulent as that?

That unlucky company wasn’t to be trifled with either. Who would be willing to be scammed so badly for no reason? They had just wanted to ride the wave and get a piece of the pie, but not only did they fail, they got tainted with scandal instead, and their reputation would be completely ruined for a long time—who the hell would want that?!
So, after getting the clue, the unlucky company mobilized every possible resource, followed the trail, and finally found a handle on the greasy pony man!

Then, a shocking truth was revealed to the public.
That guy who changed his name to Li Guangwei turned out to be Yang Yaowei, the one who had previously been caught up in the novel plagiarism scandal! He had actually gone to South Korea for plastic surgery after that incident!

It was really… completely unexpected!
The plot twists kept coming one after another, reaching climax after climax—it was truly dazzling. The world was really full of bizarre things!
That guy who tirelessly plagiarized and always managed to get his hands on things to plagiarize—was he a hacker himself or had a hacker buddy?
It really opened people’s eyes.

Now that everyone knew this news, it stirred up an online uproar.
Even the brainless fans of the former internet god-level “This Glory” didn’t expect that after their idol returned, he would start plagiarizing songs. That presence was way too strong. This time, although they wanted to whitewash their idol, the evidence was solid. At most, they could make a scene, but even trying to say he knew he was wrong and had some shame was something they couldn’t say anymore. A huge number of brainless fans turned from fans to haters.

At the same time, Yang Yaowei gained a new type of fan.
Nicknamed “Fry Fans.”
They were actually mocking fans.
Every day they had to go online to mock the greasy pony man. A day without mocking was a day they felt unwell-skis.

Also, the greasy pony man’s actions were just too ridiculous. Plagiarizing was bad enough, but he plagiarized so stupidly. Being stupid was one thing, but then to be caught red-handed and slapped repeatedly in the face—how could people not mock him?
So now Yang Yaowei wasn’t just overwhelmed, he was completely devastated, hitting rock bottom.

But…
He was, after all, a cockroach.
The characteristic of a cockroach was that it wouldn’t die.
And besides, wasn’t he supposed to be the protagonist of this world?

Luckily, protagonist-whatever, although carrying the fate of a world, as long as you didn’t kill him, hitting him a few times didn’t really matter.
Qiguan Rui and Gu Bai, who had transmigrated across countless worlds, rarely targeted a protagonist so seriously—that’s why it all went so smoothly this time.

Alright, back to the main story.
Previously, we said the cockroach still wasn’t dead. But how could the greasy pony man escape from that sealed room?
Let’s wait until next… cough, actually he finally thought of a method.

That was!
In the middle of the night!
Sneaking through the window!
Climbing into the girl next door’s room.

Originally, he could have asked that girl for help, but although the girl was simple-minded, she couldn’t help being suspicious of the greasy pony man at this point. Especially since he couldn’t provide any evidence and could only say “I hummed the song right in front of you, didn’t you already know?” And because the urgency of the situation had made his eyes dark, with bloodshot veins and a haggard appearance, his looks and temperament had declined, so the girl was also having a cold war with him.

So the greasy pony man could only sneak in. He ruthlessly knocked the girl out, then secretly rummaged through her wardrobe to find some large-sized, colorful clothes and skirts, put together an outfit, and disguised himself as a girl.
With his current pretty-boy face, and putting on some makeup, he really did look like a delicate young lady—much better than trying to act like a man.

Maybe it was due to the protagonist’s outrageous luck, but he managed to walk downstairs disguised as a girl, went to the bathroom, climbed out through the bathroom window, and when he later encountered people, he used his extremely strong psychological endurance to pretend he was calm and normal—and actually managed to escape!
Those reporters had surrounded the place for many days, but in the end, they still didn’t find any trace of him.

Gu Bai’s fingers trembled as he held the cup, his whole body stunned.
Wocao, did that greasy pony man seriously get plastic surgery!?

Qiguan Rui smiled gently: “Gege guessed right. That guy really did go get plastic surgery.”
Gu Bai was speechless.
That guy was truly ruthless.
…Fine.

Actually, the greasy pony man had been forced by Qiguan Rui.
His original identity was already stinking to high heaven, and the new one had also been exposed—resulting in “stinking ×2.” If he didn’t change identities again, he’d probably be recognized every time he went out and could forget about living a normal life in the future.

For a protagonist-type character—if he were the protagonist of a xianxia or fantasy novel—it would be best not to mess with him. In his home world, with the protection of the heavenly dao, it wouldn’t necessarily be possible to kill him. A protagonist was the kind of person who could die again and again and come back even stronger each time.
But fortunately, this greasy pony protagonist was the main character of a modern urban transmigration plagiarism novel. He didn’t cultivate, didn’t study martial arts, and relied entirely on plagiarizing to achieve greatness. Among protagonists, he was one of the lower-tier ones—easy to crush. Even if he came back a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand times, without non-human power, he was nothing to fear—
Besides, even those with non-human powers—what’s to be afraid of? Qiguan Rui was max-level already, and now he’d even broken past the cap. It was just troublesome, but nothing to worry about.

So, even if the greasy pony man got plastic surgery again, Qiguan Rui wasn’t going to let him go just like that.
Someone who made Gu Bai uncomfortable for even a moment—Qiguan Rui could make sure they never felt comfortable again for the rest of their life!

Thus, that extremely capable private detective, who had been working for Qiguan Rui for several years now, was still at it. He had no other job besides tailing the greasy pony man.
Whatever plan the greasy pony man had was all under Qiguan Rui’s nose, clearly known and seen.

At present, Qiguan Rui was working on bribing someone.
…Everyone still remembers that manager tied to the greasy pony man, right?
