Chapter 125: Forward This to All Your Friends, and Your Ex Will Die in a Car Crash

Undoubtedly, Bai Qingming won.

And it is fair to say he won with ease. Whether in technique, power, or reaction time, he was impeccable. By the end of the match, he had even switched to playing with his left hand. Facing a highly arrogant Japanese player, Bai Qingming showed no mercy, defeating him 10-0 and leaving him completely shut out.

Throughout the entire match, Noda Hao was left in a state of shock.

*Nani?* He lost? How could this be? It was absolutely impossible. He was the one who intended to crush Chinese table tennis players and trample world champions; how could he possibly lose? Noda Hao was utterly bewildered. Indeed, he had been beaten into a stupor. Even though the table tennis training hall was kept at a cool temperature by the central air conditioning, Noda Hao began to sweat, his entire body trembling uncontrollably.

The reporters present seemed to do it on purpose, signaling their cameramen to shove their lenses right into his face. It was as if they were villagers gathering to watch a neighbor catch their spouse in the act of infidelity. This was a massive, public social-death moment for Noda Hao.

Soon, however, he realized one thing. If he lost, not only would he have to admit that his previous claims were wrong, but more importantly, he would have to crawl on the ground and bark like a dog.

At this moment, Bai Qingming spoke up. "Come on, let's see it."

Right then and there, countless people held their breath in anticipation. Many who were holding their phones had already started recording.

"I don't accept this! That last game didn't count!" Noda Hao shouted.

To be honest, his reaction was exactly what everyone expected. Without being able to pinpoint why, everyone just felt that if the Japanese player lost, he would inevitably try to renege.

Bai Qingming didn't say much; he simply picked up the paddle again. "Then let's do it again."

Bai Qingming's logic was simple. If he wouldn't accept the first defeat, they would just go again. He had plenty of time and didn't mind playing until Noda Hao was forced to accept his fate. As a spiritual guide, he specialized in curing all sorts of stubbornness.

Ten minutes passed. The match ended again, and unsurprisingly, Bai Qingming was victorious, and Noda Hao was soundly thrashed.

"He cheated!" Noda Hao pointed at Bai Qingming, simply spouting nonsense.

Why? Why was he so handsome and yet so incredibly good at table tennis? Noda Hao refused to believe it; he didn't want to accept that this was reality, and he certainly didn't want to crawl on the floor and bark like a dog.

"I see, so it's a fine tradition among you Japanese people to refuse to honor your debts," Bai Qingming said sarcastically.

Hearing this, Noda Hao didn't know what else to say, his face as sour as if he had swallowed a fly. The coach who had accompanied Noda Hao to China couldn't watch any longer. He walked over and patted him on the shoulder. "Just concede."

Conceding would only reflect on him as an individual, but if Noda Hao continued to be stubborn, it would only make people think all Japanese people were of this character. With no other choice, Noda Hao opened his mouth and painfully forced out a series of sentences.

"I admit that everything I said earlier was wrong. The Chinese people are not timid, and Chinese table tennis is certainly not just talk."

The words trailed off, ending abruptly.

"I suddenly remembered I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now." Noda Hao tried to slip away, but how could Bai Qingming let him go so easily?

"Seems like something is missing, isn't it?"

"Let's just call it a day. Since you have already won, why be so aggressive? Besides, there is a television station here filming live; isn't this going a bit too far?" Noda Hao's coach said in broken Chinese.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding reporters swarmed in.

"It's fine, it's fine! I think it's very necessary."

"Exactly, exactly! It's just barking like a dog; what's the big deal?"

"Oh, I understand now. Mr. Noda, are you afraid of losing face? Don't worry, we'll cut this part out; it definitely won't be broadcast."

As they spoke, the reporter signaled his cameraman to quietly edge closer, finding the best possible angle for the shot. Under such persuasion, Noda Hao's psychological defenses began to crumble bit by bit.

"Really? This part really won't be broadcast?"

"I haven't had much schooling, you aren't lying to me, are you?"

Faced with Noda Hao's questions, the reporters patted their chests and promised repeatedly.

"Why would we lie to you? We never lie."

"That's right, don't worry."

"We said we wouldn't broadcast it, so we won't. You don't trust us?"

"Hurry up and start, I can't wait anymore."

Hearing this, Noda Hao's last bit of resolve faltered. Since it wouldn't be broadcast, only the people present would know he had crawled on the ground and barked like a dog. Although it was a bit humiliating, it was not entirely unacceptable.

Thinking this, Noda Hao got down on the ground...

Five minutes later, a video suddenly began to circulate online. On platforms like Douxin, Kuaishou, and B-site, one couldn't help but run into this video upon opening the apps. Indeed, the video was exactly that—Noda Hao crawling on the floor and barking like a dog for five minutes. The content was, quite frankly, classic.

Those who watched it said they had learned something new: it turns out Japanese dogs also bark "wang wang wang."

In an instant, countless people began to forward it. Some, in order to boost the video's reach, made all sorts of ridiculous claims. For example:

"Share this! If you don't share, you aren't Chinese."

"Send this video to ten groups, and your QQ level will increase by one sun."

"Download this video and send it to all your friends, and your ex will get hit by a car and die."

"Forwarding this cures all diseases! My neighbor’s grandfather, who was in a vegetative state, opened his eyes and walked around the room after watching this video."

"Personal experience: My wife and I have been married for three years and always wanted a child, but we couldn't conceive. I went on a business trip for six months, and when I came back, I found my wife was three months pregnant. I asked her, and it turned out it was because she watched this video. I'm going to be a father, it's wonderful."

"Shocking: A man who had been single for thirty years successfully found a girlfriend after forwarding this video."

And so on, ad infinitum. In short, forwarding was the only thing that mattered. Regardless of whether it was true or fake, netizens shared it like crazy.

Meanwhile, the reporters who had promised not to broadcast the footage of Noda Hao barking claimed that they had indeed kept their word and did not broadcast it—it was just that the video happened to leak out. Since it was leaked, it had absolutely nothing to do with them.

...

Elsewhere, Coach Liu Guoliang, who was leading his team in a training match, also came across the video. Without a second thought, he called Zhang Ke.

As soon as the call connected, before Zhang Ke could even speak, Liu Guoliang spoke first: "Kid, well done! Your monthly allowance is doubled!"

Hearing this, Zhang Ke was stunned. "Coach, what happened? What did I do?"

At this, Liu Guoliang froze. "It wasn't you?"

"Coach, what are you talking about? I'm still on the road." Zhang Ke was getting anxious.

Neither of them understood what was going on. After hanging up, Zhang Ke called a staff member at the General Administration of Sport. Upon hearing that someone had beaten him to the punch and taught the Japanese professional player a lesson, Zhang Ke was immediately unhappy.

"Who is so pushy? Stealing my job? Could they possibly be better than me?"

On the other end of the line, the staff member thought for a moment. "That person said his name is Bai Qingming."

"I don't care who he is, I..."

Mid-sentence, Zhang Ke suddenly stopped. "You said his name is what? Bai Qingming? Oh, never mind then."
