After Elliot finished speaking, he used the virtual phone software to dial the scammer's number.
"Beep... beep..."
After the phone rang twice, Elliot hung up.
Then he waited for the scammer to call back.
Would the scammer call back?
More than ten seconds passed, and there was no movement.
"Don't worry, let's wait a bit longer, if he doesn't call back, I'll call again..." Before Elliot could finish speaking, the virtual phone software rang.
"Beep... beep..."
Haha, the scammer called back.
"Brothers, we've got a job!" Elliot's spirits lifted.
At this time, more than 60,000 netizens had entered the live stream room, eagerly watching the drama unfold.
The netizens also didn't expect the scammer to actually call back.
"Brothers, get ready for a good show!"
Elliot said, and answered the call.
"Hello, is this Mr. Leo?" A man's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Cough cough..."
Elliot first cleared his throat, and deliberately said in broken Solarian, "May I ask who you are, and what do you need from me?"
"Mr. Leo, please bring your ID card immediately and come to the Verdant City Police Station. My badge number is 153201, and my name is Officer Strong!" The man said in a serious tone.
"Ah, splendid, splendid, I've long admired Strong-zun's great name! Unity is Strong, and this Strong is iron! So it's you, Strong-zun!" Elliot said in a playful tone, using a mock Solarian honorific and making a terrible pun on the scammer's fake name.
The broken Solarian, coupled with Elliot's sarcastic tone, made people unable to help but laugh.
[Pfft!]
[Hahahaha...]
[The streamer's 'broken Solarian' is amazing! *Thumbs up*] ...
The netizens were amused and sent out barrages of comments.
"Go to hell, are you messing with me?!" The man on the other end of the phone heard something was wrong and said in a threatening tone, "Do you know how much trouble you're in? Do you know that your case starts with ten years? Are you coming yourself, or should we come find you?"
"Strong-zun, you don't need to act anymore, I know you're a scammer. There's an old saying in the Federation called 'He who knows the times is a hero'. Let's make a deal, I won't treat you unfairly." Elliot continued to speak in "broken Solarian".
"You don't believe me, huh? Okay, what kind of deal?"
"The moonflowers in my hometown are blooming, Strong-zun, go to the toilet, and I'll take you to see the moonflowers in your hometown. The moonflowers will remind you of your mother... Hahahaha..." When Elliot said this, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahahaha!"
In front of the computer, a netizen wearing glasses and a white shirt immediately burst out laughing.
This was too funny!
"Screw you! You idiot! Don't run! I'm coming to find you now! You're still laughing heh heh..." The man was enraged and cursed loudly into the phone.
"Strong-zun... Strong-zun... Hello? Hello?" Elliot still wanted to tease him a few more times, but found that the other party had already hung up.
[Hahahaha!]
[Laughing crying! Laughing crying! Laughing crying!]
[Too funny!]
[Streamer, who did you learn your 'broken Solarian' from?]
[It's too much fun.] [My stomach hurts from laughing!]
[I learned a trick, I'll use this to deal with scammers from now on!]
[Streamer, you're too good at playing!] ...
The live stream room was filled with laughter.
The netizens were all amused by Elliot's "divine operation".
You can play like this.
"Brother Leo, are you feeling better? Did you vent some anger?" Elliot asked with a smile.
Brother Leo was still online.
"Haha!" Brother Leo laughed loudly, "That feels so good!" Brother Leo smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Boss, awesome!"
[Frankie is requesting a connection.]
As he spoke, a new connection request popped up.
Elliot clicked "Accept".
Another small window opened in the live stream room, showing a man in his thirties with thinning hair.
"Boss, you're amazing! You're amazing!" Frankie said to the camera, cupping his fists.
"Whoosh!"
Then, Frankie sent Elliot a "Sky-Piercing Rocket".
A "Sky-Piercing Rocket" is worth 288 credits.
"Thank you Frankie for the 'Sky-Piercing Rocket'!" Elliot said with a smile.
"Boss, can I post clips of your live stream?" Frankie said directly.
The so-called "clips" are live stream videos edited into short videos.
Many small streamers and newcomers on TrendTok like to repost videos from big streamers and make them into clips to gain popularity.
"Yes, no problem." Elliot didn't mind others "reposting" his videos.
"Thank you Boss!" Frankie cupped his fists again.
"Everyone is free to repost my videos." Elliot said to the camera, "I have another trick to deal with this type of scam call. There are now more than 60,000 people in the live stream room, let's call the scammer or send him a text message and blow up his phone."
[This is a good trick.]
[I'm already dialing.]
[Let's all take action together and blow up the scammer!] ...
Many netizens responded and started taking action.
In an inconspicuous advertising company office in the center of Verdant City, a man with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks, around forty years old, wearing a suit and tie, had an angry look on his face, as if he had been angered by something.
He was Officer Strong, whose real name was Zack.
Having just been played by an idiotic brat, Zack was very unhappy at this time.
"Ding!"
"Ding!"
"Ding!"
...
The phone on the desk suddenly rang non-stop.
Zack picked up the phone and looked at it, and was instantly dumbfounded.
It showed that he had received "99+ text messages".
Where did so many text messages come from?
The text message notification sound kept ringing.
"Ding!"
"Ding!"
"Ding!"
...
200 messages!
300 messages!
500 messages!
"Damn, what's going on?"
Zack was shocked.
With so many text messages bombarding him, he had poked a hornet's nest.
"Beep beep beep!"
At this time, the phone rang again, and the caller ID was an unfamiliar number from Southridge Province.
Zack answered the call.
"Officer Strong, you idiot! Screw you!" From the other end of the phone came bursts of angry curses.
"Damn!" Zack was inexplicably cursed and quickly hung up the phone.
"Beep beep beep!"
The phone rang again, this time it was a number from Summit City.
Zack answered.
"You stupid dog..." From the other end of the phone came the curse of another strange man.
"Damn!"
Zack hung up the phone again, both angry and confused.
What on earth was going on, he was completely bewildered.
"Beep beep beep!"
The phone rang again, another unfamiliar phone.
Zack hesitated for a moment, but still answered.
"Strong-zun..."
Before the other party could finish speaking, Zack immediately hung up the phone.
"Beep... beep..."
Just after hanging up, the phone rang again, as if it would never end.
At the same time, the text message notification sound also kept ringing.
"Damn! It's not over, is it?!" Zack cursed angrily.
Immediately after, the phone screen went black and completely crashed.
"Screw you! Which bastard is screwing with me?!"
Zack roared, that anger, so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick.
