Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Exposing the Poster

Everyone was stunned upon hearing that.

Right.

The law punishes those who post.

So, who posted it?

Was it Sister Xin?

Everyone hurried to check, but frustratingly, the forum showed the user ID of the poster as anonymous.

However, the Imperial University forum has this feature where, even if you’re anonymous, only the middle letters are hidden, while the last letter or character remains visible.

For instance, ”190-jin Crybaby” would be anonymized to ”***baby.”

This is to prevent keyboard warriors from going unchecked, keep peers from becoming too estranged, and add a bit of guessing fun.

Class 2 quickly pulled up Lan Qingxin’s username for comparison: ”Sister Xin’s name is her real name, Lan Qingxin. If anonymized, the last character should be ’Xin,’ but this user ID is irregular, and there’s just the letter B at the end. The one who posted isn’t Sister Xin at all!”

Huangfu Qian didn’t notice this detail at all.

She just assumed the ugly creature and God Ao posted the picture, and thus, the ugly creature should be responsible. She didn’t realize the law specifies the poster is responsible.

And this poster... it was actually her!

She posted it with a smurf account under the influence of Yu Xiaochun and Qin Wenrou, initially uploading a terribly unflattering ID photo of Lan Qingxin, which later got hacked and replaced with a picture of her in a slop bucket.

Damn it, how did I miss this loophole?

Frustrated, she heard Qin Xin’s sarcastic comment from nearby: ”Huangfu Qian, if both your intelligence and eyesight are poor, retaking primary school won’t help. You might have to go back and be rebuilt in kindergarten.”

Class 2: ”Pfft...!”

190-jin Crybaby: ”Sister Xin is Sister Xin, beautiful! Wah wah wah!”

Huangfu Qian rolled her eyes in disbelief!

Damn, she got snarked back with her own words by the ugly creature.

She was completely flustered, unsure how to handle the situation.

Yu Xiaochun whispered behind her: ”Qianqian, just say it’s...”

Huangfu Qian perked up again: ”It’s the ugly creature’s smurf account, don’t you know? Who’s dumb enough to post with a main account?”

Qin Xin wasn’t in a hurry and asked the people from Class 2 slowly, ”Who has the contact for the forum administrator?”

190-jin Crybaby said, ”Me, me, I’m just a junior admin on the forum...”

He was genuinely grateful at that moment, glad he joined the IT club when college started. While other seniors were gloriously participating in hacking competitions, he had quietly and tirelessly worked as the smallest admin on the university forum.

And today, Sister Xin called his name and needed him, wah wah wah!

Qin Xin nodded in approval: ”No matter the size, managing responsibilities well is what makes a person excellent. Come, do me a favor, and compare the IP login addresses on the backend.”

Other classmates still looked confused.

But 190-jin Crybaby understood.

He nodded vigorously and quickly started working on the computer.

minutes later.

He clearly listed the IP addresses used by Lan Qingxin’s main account, Huangfu Qian’s main account, and the poster’s smurf account for logging into the forum.

The comparison revealed the truth.

Huangfu Qian’s main account and the poster’s smurf account were frequently logging in from the same IP address, with a 99% overlap.

On the other hand, Lan Qingxin seldom logged into the forum, and when she did, it was from the IP address of the girls’ dormitory at school.

Completely unrelated to the poster.

Moreover, the full name that the poster’s smurf account concealed was also revealed; Huangfu Qian’s main account was qianqianA, and this poster’s smurf account was qianqianB.

Is there even a need to explain?

Even someone who knows nothing about computers can see that this result essentially announces to everyone: Huangfu Qian herself is the one who made the post!

Tsk tsk, such a perplexing maneuver!
