Chapter 850 - 552: Explorer [End] Rosa Sullivan: That Bamboo Flute Is Fake

As soon as the show ended, everyone saw a post on a certain forum by a bigshot analyzing "Nora Scott as an adventurer."

There are three aspects to prove it.

The first is carried from some foreign survival experts’ Twitter photos, clips and introductions from some survival shows, as well as foreign netizens’ evaluations of Nora Scott.

All are praises and affirmations.

The experts recognize Nora Scott as an experienced survival expert, with the perseverance to challenge everything, the boldness to try anything, the courage to face everything, and the wisdom to know everything. She’s an Oriental girl born for adventure;

The show clips are from the experts’ programs, where they invite friends to participate, and Nora Scott appears among them;

Netizens marvel at such a wonderful existence like Nora Scott, free, decisive, wise, and beautiful, a rare interesting soul they’ve encountered, which also made them reassess Oriental girls.

[Being friends with her is definitely an interesting thing.]

[I see a free soul in her, living a life many dare not attempt!]

[You changed my stereotypical impression of Oriental girls. Nora Scott, all beauty should belong to you.]

[Thank you, Oriental girl, for helping me come out of depression and bravely face the world.]

...

Just at this stage, domestic netizens were in an uproar, dumbfounded. Especially those netizens siding with the outsiders couldn’t speak for a long time.

While they criticized Nora Scott for having acting skills but not looks, wasting resources in the entertainment industry, she was flourishing her youth, showcasing herself in the vast world, beloved and supported by millions of foreign friends. At that time, her fame abroad far exceeded that in her own country, and only now did they know.

Netizens:

[Is it true that Nora Scott is a recognized adventurer by many foreign experts?]

[I thought I knew her well, but it seems I still know nothing.]

[Nora Scott is impressive.]

[Such a bigshot is genuinely unfollowable. No, more accurately, she doesn’t need ordinary people like us to follow her.]

[But I still want to follow her... learning open-mindedness, courage, and transparency from her, things I’ve always strived for but never had. She makes me feel that people like her exist in the world, unbound by rules, breaking through everything fearlessly. Truly wonderful.]

The second is analyzing Nora Scott’s activity traces from photos dug up from Zero’s Weibo, then comparing them with available information, reports, and pictures from foreign websites.

This is a very challenging project.

The expert summarizing it expressed that he actually started half a year ago, but due to being busy with work, he organized it intermittently, and only after working non-stop for a week during the "On the Road" program, did he manage to compile it.

Entering and exiting uninhabited areas requires prior notification, so Nora Scott’s movements are traceable.

Plus, all those entering or exiting with her are prominent figures, and media reports are common. Nora Scott doesn’t actively appear on camera, but if photographed, she doesn’t demand deletion, so she can still be seen in some reports.

These listed reports completely align with the dynamics Nora Scott posted on Zero’s Weibo.

Fans who have been following Zero’s comics know the rumor about the uncle’s poor photography skills came from photos taken in the uninhabited areas. Nora Scott’s token of love with the dog man—the Lucky Black Rope—has been spotted in multiple photos she took and has been uncovered by several netizens.

Confirmed no falsity.

Netizens:

[I’ve heard several reports, but never paid attention to Nora Scott... Nora Scott probably relied on being somewhat transparent back then.]

[One of the news appeared in an authoritative magazine, yet the self-proclaimed all-knowing netizens didn’t notice Nora Scott?!]

[The wall limited my understanding of Nora Scott...]

[Unexpectedly, even before gaining fame across the entire country, Nora Scott was already popular abroad. I’m impressed.]

The third is analyzing Nora Scott’s performance in "On the Road."

Nora Scott isn’t as keen on "showing off" as Andrea, but occasionally when she rebutted Andrea, it triggered quite a bit of controversy, with netizens doubting that Nora Scott was an amateur, challenging experts with book-learned theoretical knowledge, practically misleading the audience.

However, the expert analyzed each of the knowledge points Nora Scott mentioned.

The guru is clearly a professional, and his content is hardcore. He uses scientific and professional outdoor knowledge to explain that Nora Scott is correct, and Andrea is wrong.

The conclusion is: Nora Scott couldn’t stand Andrea’s misinformation, so she corrected her out of frustration.

If someone criticizes her for it, it’s a case of good intentions mistaken for malicious intent. If you’re not using your brain, you might as well lose it.

Netizens:

[... I admire it wholeheartedly.]

[I’ve heard before that Zero’s fans are all big shots; this time I really got to see it.]

[I have nothing more to say; I won’t criticize Nora Scott anymore.]

Netizens are thoroughly convinced of Nora Scott’s "adventurer" label.

However, as soon as they exit this post and refresh, they’re bombarded with "Nora Scott knew the bamboo flute was fake, but still showed it off on the show—is it vanity or vanity or vanity?"... The netizens who were just amazed are directly bewildered.

"The bamboo flute is fake" is, in the eyes of netizens, almost something that doesn’t need proof.

The reason is simple:

If it were real, why didn’t she dare admit it when Valeria Young asked? Isn’t it just guilty conscience?

Moreover, Rosa Sullivan, being Julian Linfield’s close disciple, clearly stated that Julian Linfield never gave the bamboo flute to young people. According to some insider information, Rosa Sullivan also said that the bamboo flute owned by her teacher and Flora Loughton was not made by Julian Linfield personally.

Netizens can’t distinguish the authenticity of a bamboo flute, but they have the ability to search for information and deduce.

With such a large following for Nora Scott, naturally, some adore, admire, and support her; likewise, there will be those who dislike, criticize, and smear her, especially now that Nora Scott’s increasing commercial value has attracted the attention of rivals, who naturally sabotage her behind the scenes. Buying some fake followers can easily sway public opinion.

Thus, whenever clicking on any post related to "Nora Scott, bamboo flute," one can immediately see countless comments criticizing Nora Scott.

[People have moments of hypocrisy; it’s understandable.]

[Setting up various personas is one thing, but now she’s even trying to associate with the National Music Master? Really daring.]

[Rosa Sullivan participated in "Escape Room," Nora Scott also joined "Escape Room"; Rosa Sullivan acted in "Reversing Life," Nora Scott also starred in "Reversing Life," and finally Rosa Sullivan unexpectedly withdrew (which can lead to some conspiracy theories); Rosa Sullivan is the close disciple of Master Julian Linfield, Nora Scott takes out what seems to be Julian Linfield’s bamboo flute... Emmm, Nora Scott must have collided with Rosa Sullivan. Did Rosa Sullivan snatch her man or something?]

[The above guess might be possible. You know one of the speculated dog men of Nora Scott is Pedro Langley. And Pedro Langley happened to have rumors with Rosa Sullivan. Haha.]

[If it’s true about Pedro Langley, then it’s really interesting. Mr. Langley falls for Rosa Sullivan, Nora Scott uses tactics to bind Mr. Langley, and then targets Rosa Sullivan everywhere? No wonder there’ve been frequent love display and marriage proposal announcements recently. There’s no reaction from Mr. Langley’s side. I suspect Mr. Langley was proposed to by her, holding some leverage over him, making everything forced.]

[If it unfolds like this, then it’s truly intriguing. But the people discussed earlier have mostly been ruled out, leaving only Mr. Langley.]

[Don’t forcibly bind them together, okay? Is Mr. Langley not excellent enough, not wealthy enough, or not handsome enough? Why tie him with Nora Scott? After all, she’s just an artist; no amount of traffic will make her top-tier, not even a match in status. Would someone like her catch Mr. Langley’s eye?]

...

For a while, online comments about Nora Scott were mixed.

Some with ulterior motives wanted to stir up a large drama.

However, just past midnight, all comments and posts questioning the authenticity of Nora Scott’s bamboo flute and blatantly criticizing her were cleared simultaneously. At the same time, several traffic artists were notified by their managers that significant resources had been cut off, likely due to offending a big shot.

Frightened, they broke into a cold sweat and hurriedly recalled their fake followers, all expressing support for Nora Scott.

Nevertheless, these comments and speculations misled many people.

Beneath Nora Scott’s latest Weibo post, all were ridicule, scorn, and disdain, with some advising her to compare less with Rosa Sullivan, emphasizing they aren’t in the same league.

The next day—

The recently recovered Rosa Sullivan from a leg injury negotiated a variety show related to national music and happened to attend the show’s press conference on that day.

Due to the "Nora Scott bamboo flute is fake" incident, reporters turned their focus on Rosa Sullivan, asking a series of questions on the bamboo flute, almost catching her off-guard.

Reporter: "Last night, the variety show ’On the Road’ showed a bamboo flute owned by Nora Scott with Julian Linfield’s mark, which sparked online debate, with many netizens guessing whether it’s real. Miss Sullivan, you filmed with Nora Scott, you know each other, could you explain?"

Rosa Sullivan: "I watched the variety show too, and Nora Scott didn’t admit it. I believe she wasn’t intentional."

Reporter: "So you’re saying her bamboo flute was fake?"

Rosa Sullivan: "As far as I know, my master would only give bamboo flutes made by him to renowned masters in the flute community. I’ve heard Nora Scott play ’Destructive Demoness’... I hope she continues to work hard, keep it up."
