Chapter 417: Chapter 35: I’m Going to Tip the Group Owner

Lu Weijia’s request for Li Yu to carry was not exactly a message but rather a string of decompression codes.

And he had already uploaded the file requiring decryption to the group chat.

This decompression code, stretching sixteen characters long, included a mix of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols, ensuring it was difficult for anyone to crack.

Moreover, Lu Weijia had set a valid timeframe with his quirky online friends; after this timeframe, whatever was decrypted from the file would no longer be counted.

This strategy was seriously discussed by everyone at the time, but most people soon forgot about it.

When Li Yu opened the QQ group, he found it unexpectedly lively.

A stream of messages filled the screen, each group member paying their respects to the group admin.

As a mischievous video uploader, Lu Weijia was always cheerful, attracting a crowd that wasn’t exactly serious either.

Additionally, Lu Weijia had explicitly stated that after his death, everyone should continue as usual, those who called others to play games should keep doing so, and those who chatted should keep chatting; everything should go on as normal without the need for special mourning or a somber tone in the group.

Following his last wishes, amidst the offerings, someone was showing off pictures.

Soon, the picture sharer was condemned by everyone, and they unanimously demanded he apologize for his recent behavior and post more pictures.

Amidst this chaotic atmosphere, someone noticed the group admin had come online.

The group suddenly fell silent.

Lu Weijia’s death had been communicated to the group by familiar admins, and some had even attended his funeral, which is why they were continuously offering their respects here.

With Lu Weijia’s QQ account coming back online, everyone’s first thought was that it had been taken over by his family.

Thinking that Lu Weijia’s father or mother might be behind the account, the brother who was joyfully posting pictures now began to panic and frantically retract his posts.

After a while, someone finally broke the silence and asked, "May I ask who this is?"

"Hello everyone, I am the strange person Lu Weijia mentioned to you before," Li Yu typed.

The group erupted in surprise.

"What the hell! Why do you have the admin’s QQ account?!"

"Really? It can’t be some admin pretending, can it? Soft Mud Monster, Soft Mud Monster, where are you? You were closest to the admin, he might have given you the account before he died."

Soft Mud Monster, who was at work, was frantically mentioned by fellow group members and replied, "It’s not me, I’m in a meeting."

To prove his point, Soft Mud Monster soon posted a photo showing a professional-looking woman giving a PowerPoint presentation.

Since Soft Mud Monster had taken the photo discreetly, only half of her body was shown.

Then someone changed the topic, "Nice legs!"

"Nice legs +1"

"Nice legs +2"

"Is this really the time to be looking at legs?! The admin’s account has been hacked!"

"Not hacked," Li Yu continued typing, "Lu Weijia gave me the account himself."

"So, you approached him initially to cheat him out of his QQ account?"

"Of course not, he actually gave it to me after his death."

"Don’t believe it!"

"I don’t believe +1!"

"I don’t believe +2!"

"I don’t believe +10086!"

The netizens expressed that everyone was an adult and a minor educated under materialism, and they did not buy into the feudal superstition.

"I have the decryption code." Li Yu typed the password Lu Weijia had told him onto the screen, after which the chat exploded again. A file named Lanlan Road in the group share began to be incessantly downloaded.

Li Yu also downloaded the file, entered the password, and extracted a video file.

The video seemed to be shot a few days before Lu Weijia’s death. He was already in the ICU ward but looked a tad better than when Li Yu had visited him for the second time.

He waved at the phone, "Hello everyone, unlike my previous submissions, this video probably won’t be publicly released. I’m not even sure if anyone will see it.

"First off, I want to clarify that, so far, I haven’t given the decryption code to anyone, and I probably won’t in the future. So, if someone really sees this video within its effective period, that means I truly have reincarnated into another world!

"Wow, I don’t know what to say. I’m a ghostly food vlogger; I’ve always told myself to stay positive and show you the better side of this world. But the truth is, I don’t like it; I don’t like this world."

Lu Weijia suddenly became agitated, "It’s terrible, cold and merciless, yet operates in a ludicrous and stead manner, full of problems all over. Whenever I open social media, I feel like the people in this world have gone mad, crazier than all the ghostly videos I’ve ever seen.

"This is the real ghostly thing, reality is, just like I don’t know why I waste what little life I have left making these videos. Why I believed that stupid ’Prophet’s’ silly tales, he dressed like he’s either selling insurance or acting as a house broker...

"I shouldn’t have believed him, I’m a big fool too, but I’m scared. All the calm and unconcerned I showed in the group was fake. I’m very scared, truly scared. I don’t want to die yet."

Lu Weijia started crying in the video, and the camera kept spinning until it finally plunged into darkness.

After watching, Li Yu shifted his gaze back to the QQ group.

The chat was being spammed with, "It really opened!"

Then someone said, "Did the admin just call the guy who helped him reincarnate a fool in his video?"

"Yes, I heard it too; I reckon even if he went to another world, it wouldn’t be easy for him there."

"Maybe the admin is already gone by now."

The group members were babbling, the only consensus being that they were not very optimistic about Lu Weijia’s prospects on the other side.

Until someone chimed in again, "Hey, do you guys think the admin really crossed over?"

This time the chat fell into silence, until after a long while someone typed, "Maybe."

"Seems like there’s no other explanation."

"He had the admin’s account password and the file’s decryption code, so..."

"Are you guys joking, or serious? You can’t really believe that guy’s words, right?" someone questioned.

"Hard to say."

"Hard to say +1."

"Damn, I’m starting to believe it too."

"This is the first time I watched the admin’s video and couldn’t laugh. I’m only in my early twenties; I always thought death was far away from me. But watching the admin’s dying video, I now feel choked up and a bit scared of dying. If there really is another world... that wouldn’t be too bad."

"Yeah, believing doesn’t cost us anything, and who knows, we might even meet the admin after death and let him guide us, the noobs. I’m off to tip some coins on his old videos!"

"Weren’t you just saying that the admin is surely dead over there? You guys flip-flop so quickly."
