While Lin Fuxia was hesitating whether to buy game coins, the forum became lively again.

Compared to before, the traffic on the game forum is now less than half.

Some of the people who still come to the forum now are there to play the game seriously, discuss tasks and dungeons, and post guides. Some people also sell certain equipment on the forum, or post messages to collect certain materials.

The other group of people are those who are against the game and are still tirelessly discrediting "New World" in the forum, saying all the bad things about this game.

Compared to a game that has only been open for a week, this forum has already entered retirement mode.

But today, this world announcement was released and the forum came back to life.

——Finally, I don’t have to play all night every day. That’s great!

——I need to split my gaming time into 12 hours a day. I didn’t buy a professional gaming chair, and I’ll get bedsores if I lie down for more than ten hours.

——So this is what it means to pay attention to the number of deaths.

——Why can’t I log in again after dying nine times? I’ve already died seven times!

——Last time I died four times in a row for no apparent reason. I only have three lives left. Damn game!

——I bet there must be other ways to revive after dying nine times. This is obviously a marketing strategy!

——Which is better, going offline or hanging up?

——I want to join the Tianshui Guild. When I want to log off, I can go back to the guild and hang out in the guild. It will be safe and secure.

The news quickly spread to social platforms outside of the game, also causing a lot of discussion.

——"New World" is not finished yet!

——If you want to make a good game, you don’t pay attention to the players’ demands and do these messy things.

Only nine lives? What happens to the player's in-game assets after dying nine times? Are they confiscated?

——It feels quite interesting. I need to go and see what the game is all about.

A game where you can only die nine times, wouldn't that be like a cat with only nine lives? Let's see.

Many people think that the new announcement of "New World" is sensational, but at the same time, many people are attracted to it. People who were not interested in "New World" also want to enter the game to take a look.

Online discussions about "New Heaven and Earth" continue to grow.

…

Senior executives of Qisheng Games Company.

Zhang Ke looked at the online comments with mockery: "Wal has been hiding for so many days, and this is the only solution he can come up with?"

Zhang Ke is 33 years old this year. He took over Qisheng from his father a few years ago and is determined to make Qisheng bigger and become the industry leader.

In recent years, he has led the company to launch several hit games, and the currently popular "God of War" is Qisheng's current key project.

One month after the launch of "God of War", which was originally gaining momentum, "New World" suddenly appeared and diverted a portion of the players, making Zhang Ke very angry.

For a long time, Walt has been Qisheng's number one rival. This time, he suddenly came up with "New World", which is definitely a deliberate targeting of "God of War".

He tried his best to suppress "New World", but the game brought its own destruction upon itself by making some messy operations to drive away customers. Its reputation was ruined within a few days of its launch.

At the same time, Zhang Ke contacted his own network of contacts and found a way to get in touch with Xiao Chi's family. With the Xiao Chi family coming forward, major companies jointly spoke out to promote "God of War" by leveraging "New World".

Now the market share of "New World" has been severely squeezed by "God of War", and he will never allow "New World" to rise again.

In the coming year, the holographic gaming industry will definitely be dominated by "God of War"!

He sneered, "It's time to send New World and our old rival, Walter, off for the final time."

The subordinate immediately said, "Zheng Jiaze is ready and can go live soon."

On the other side, Zheng Jiaze faced the camera and looked a little nervous.

He is the head of the publicity and promotion department of Walt Games. A few days ago, Qisheng Company contacted him and wanted to poach him with a high salary.

He is already 45 years old this year. He is in middle age and can't stand the tossing and turning. On the one hand, there is Wall, whose reputation has plummeted due to "New World", and on the other hand, there is the huge salary offered by Qisheng Company. He hesitated for a whole night, and finally his selfishness overwhelmed his conscience.

However, he didn't expect Qisheng to kill Waler.

He looked over the manuscript of his speech again and hesitated, "Do I really have to do this?"

The person adjusting the equipment nearby frowned and asked, "What? You want to go back on your word? Don't forget the agreement you signed. You must unconditionally cooperate with the company's promotional activities."

"No, it's just... this is a rumor. Walter will definitely come forward to explain. How should we respond then?"

"That's not your concern. Okay, get ready for the live broadcast."

Zheng Jiaze had no choice but to take one last look at the script and then start the live broadcast.

Three minutes later, a live broadcast room became increasingly popular on several major social platforms.

#So this is the truth about New World! A former Waldorf manager reveals it himself#

At a time when "New Heaven and Earth" was being widely discussed, people who saw this title, whether they knew about "New Heaven and Earth" or not, clicked on it.

In the livestream, a haggard-looking middle-aged man with disheveled hair and red eyes faced the camera. His voice was suppressed and painful: "...I've worked for Walmart for over a decade. Walmart has given me so much, but I've become increasingly dissatisfied with the company's practices in recent years, especially this time...I simply can't stand by and watch the company continue to deceive consumers."

Netizens were confused and couldn't help but leave comments impatiently.

——Just tell me what’s going on.

——I haven’t gotten to the point for a long time.

——Shit, I knew that Wall was doing something fishy behind the scenes. Look, they’ve forced out all the employees who have worked there for more than ten years.

The livestream continued. Zheng Jiaze, his face etched with guilt, took a deep breath and said, "The game 'New World' has problems. It has huge problems. It was developed by the company's eldest son and his team, and it has major flaws. Most of the gameplay was designed based on their own preferences, and every time you die in the game, it damages the player's brain. That's the truth behind the nine-times-you-can-die rule."

The people watching the live broadcast were suddenly in an uproar, and the barrage of comments exploded.

What damage? I've already died six times in this game. What should I do?

——No wonder I feel that every time I die in the game, the feeling is too real.

——After playing New World these days, I always feel dazed. Is it a side effect?

——Wal, this is murder!

——I was wondering why the gameplay was so arbitrary and annoying, it turns out it was designed randomly.

——I heard that Wall’s eldest son became a vegetable after a car accident. Could it be that it was not because of the car accident, but because of playing games?

——Oh my god, this is so scary!

——As for the evidence, you have to produce it.

——I still don’t believe it. If this is true, how did Empire allow such a game to pass the review?

Many people believed it, some people didn't, and there were also many internet trolls who deliberately led the rhythm, causing a lot of noise in the live broadcast room.

At this moment, the live broadcast room suddenly went dark.

The audience was stunned.

What's going on?

I searched for the live broadcast room again, but found it was no longer there!

The debate spread instantly.

——It must be the power of capital, the live broadcast room was blocked, right?

——I didn’t believe it at first, but after the live broadcast room was blocked, I suddenly began to believe it.

——Wal, come out and explain.

——The game censorship department, please speak up and ask, what exactly is going on with “New World”?

Voices condemning Walt Disney Studios and demanding the removal of New World quickly spread across the Internet.

…

On Zheng Jiaze's side, Qisheng staff checked the equipment: "It's not our problem."

Zheng Jiaze was a little uneasy: "Could it be that Hua Er blocked the live broadcast room?"

"Wal is really stupid. The more he blocks it, the more suspicious netizens become."

The staff laughed, but Zheng Jiaze became more and more uneasy. As far as he knew, Huaer was not like that. Moreover, in such a short time, no information about the live broadcast room could be found on the entire Internet. Wasn't this a bit too fast?

But if it wasn’t Wall, who else could have closed the live broadcast room?

Zhang Ke, a senior executive at Qisheng, raised his eyebrows: "Now Walter really can't explain himself even if he has eight mouths."

He looked at his subordinates and asked, "Dong Qihua's eldest son has indeed become a vegetable, right?"

"Yes, and what's particularly coincidental is that he became a vegetable a few days before the launch of New World. I heard that Dong Qihua hoped to use New World to wake his son up. Soon, players will dig this up, and I'll have the internet trolls spread rumors, saying that he became a vegetable because he played New World."

As for whether netizens will have wild imaginations and think that the eldest prince's soul is deeply trapped in the game, and that "New World" has such a big flaw, but is still released on the market, whether it is for the purpose of devouring the souls of players or something, it is beyond their control.

Once "New World" is completely demonized, Wall will be finished.

As for the fact that New World and Walter were finally found to be wronged, what does that have to do with Qisheng? It was clearly Zheng Jiaze who was dissatisfied with his former employer and deliberately made trouble.

Zhang Ke suddenly frowned. "Dong Qihua wants to use New World to awaken his son? Why didn't you tell me about this before?"

The subordinate was stunned: "Isn't this just Dong Qihua's fantasy?" This is nothing, right?

Zhang Ke felt inexplicably uneasy. Was Dong Qihua really desperate and trying anything he could to cure his illness, or was there really something special about Xintiandi?

But it is really special. I have connections above me, so I shouldn’t be blind to any news.

Thinking of this, he felt relieved.

However, he didn't know that the thing that had just closed the live broadcast room was now somewhere deep underground, and the data stream on the screen was flowing rapidly.

We are calculating how to deal with this matter and minimize the impact.

It would be best to resolve this matter quietly before the white cat gets angry.

However, people's hearts are the most difficult to predict. It can close the live broadcast room and erase all unfavorable remarks, but doing so may cause people to distrust "New World" even more, leading to more serious consequences.

Even the highest AI couldn't find the best solution for a while.

…

Lin Fuxia is still waiting to see whether the game currency will continue to fall.

Just then, she heard the players around her talking about something.

"This game is a conspiracy!"

"He wants to eat people!"

"Hurry up and get off the line!"

Then the players around her hurriedly logged off, and she couldn't help but frown. Then, she received a message from Chuanhe.

"Watch the live clip."

Lin Fuxia first checked out the forums, then exited the game and turned on her computer. She didn't even need to search; every social platform was discussing "New World." She even saw a clip from a live broadcast.

A decadent middle-aged man vehemently denounced "New World", saying that the game would harm the players' brains.

Lin Fuxia only took one look and knew that this person was acting, and his acting was very fake.

But more and more people are coming forward to share their experiences, saying how uncomfortable they felt after dying in the game, and that they had gone to the hospital for a check-up.

Lin Fuxia looked at them expressionlessly for a while. In her eyes, these stupid remarks were a joke.

But she suddenly remembered that a few days ago, many players died inexplicably in the game, and some died several times, and that was all because they said bad things about "New World" on the Internet.

I don’t know what the mechanism is, but apparently, speaking ill of Shincheonji online will result in a note in your notebook.

What about saying nice things?

She did not forget that she is now a believer of the ancestor god, and believers must do things that are in line with their identity!

She immediately rolled up her sleeves and started typing away.

Do you feel palpitations and discomfort after dying in the game? That's because "New World" is well made. It's 100% realistic. You can experience the feeling of real death in the game. Which holographic game can be so realistic?

—Dizzy from playing games? Uncle, your profile says you're in your fifties. You should take care of your kidneys and body when you reach middle age. If you play games all night long at your age, if you don't get dizzy, who will?

—Does death in the game mean your soul is devoured? If you have such a rich imagination, go write a novel. You think games are so unpretentious? What good would eating a soul as barren and boring as yours do except to sore your throat?

After Lin Fuxia replied to several highly-rated comments, someone immediately attacked her, saying that she was a die-hard fan of the game.

Lin Fuxia became even more excited.

——Yes, yes, I am a crazy fan. A game that is so realistic, so interesting and so fun, of course I have to be a fan. You guys are incompetent and don’t know how to play it, so you say the game is bad. Look for your own problems, okay?

— Is New World garbage? Yeah, yeah, yeah, God of War is the best, God of War is the best. It's the same game mode, just a different soup, and it still manages to keep you hooked. Your appreciation level is just that, how can you be expected to understand New World?

Is Qisheng a conscientious company? Come on, do you think the internet has no memory? Game screen freezes, character movement desynchronization, game pod malfunctions, real player data leaks, plagiarized game backgrounds, plagiarized game background music... Are you taking all of Qisheng's dark history for granted? Get lost, Qisheng lackeys!

Is Xintiandi a double standard? Is there something wrong with treating the strong and the weak differently? You can't get the game rewards because you're not good enough, but you blame others for being too strong?

She became more and more courageous. In fact, there were many people on the Internet who spoke up for "New World", but there were not many brainless fans like her. As a result, more and more people besieged her, and the insults became more and more harsh.

But Lin Fuxia was fearless. She scolded every one who came, and she scolded a pair of them who came.

Chuanhe called her and it rang several times before she had time to answer. Her hands were still moving when she picked up.

"Did you know what happened on the Internet?"

"I understand."

Chuanhe: "Do you think it's true? 'New World'...what are you doing?"

"Busy cursing, what a bunch of idiots!" Lin Fuxia typed on the keyboard projected by the computer, his fingers turning red.

Chuanhe: "..." He was silent for a moment, "That peaceful and quiet time couldn't be you, could it be you?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fuxia glanced at his account.

As expected, the name is "The Years Are Quiet and Good".

This was the name given by the original body. It is very inconsistent with Lin Fuxia's style and is also very different from what she is doing now.

She said, “Yeah, how did you know?”

Because I think you will not turn around and criticize New Heaven and Earth right away, then it is very likely that you are helping New Heaven and Earth to criticize others, and this "debate with scholars" and the peaceful days have just emerged, and the fighting power is very strong.

So I just made a random guess, and unexpectedly I actually guessed it right.

He asked, "Do you still believe in games?"

"Of course, I am a staunch supporter of Shincheonji."

Chuanhe said: "Some people in the company have already advised the boss not to continue investing in New World. Some people also said that if he still wants to enter the game industry, he should quit immediately."

"What does your boss think?"

Chuanhe sighed: "The boss decided not to enter the game for the time being and see which way the wind blows."

Lin Fuxia was silent for a moment: "What about you?"

Chuanhe didn't say anything.

"If it's really as those people say, why would the game remind players of the nine lives?" Lin Fuxia typed the last line: "Anyway, I believe in the game. The game is here, and I am here."

…

At the same time, somewhere in the game world, the white cat that had been curled up and sleeping moved its ears and woke up.

Something feels wrong.

Why are so many players offline?

Did the announcement of nine lives scare people away?

The white cat swung its tail, and its big furry tail gently patted its back. It thought nonchalantly, these people are really cowardly.

He stood up, picked up a flowery dress, tried hard to squeeze himself into it, then adjusted the big gold chain, then jumped off the stone where he was sleeping, but instead of landing on the grass, he jumped directly onto the street below.

The streets were bustling with people, but it seemed a bit deserted. There were not many players left, and the few remaining players were still cursing.

"Damn game, I know he has bad intentions."

"I'm leaving first. This game is too dangerous!"

"I want to sell the game coins I have first. I just bought so many yesterday and they're so expensive!"

White Cat: “?”

He tilted his head in confusion as he watched the players disappear into the streets one by one.

With doubts in his mind, he once again came to the player world.

It’s still around that university town.

In every Internet cafe, many people walked out, cursing as they walked, and the cursing was similar to that in the game, or even more unpleasant.

"New World" eats people!

Every time you die in "New World", your brain will suffer a severe blow!

New World is the worst game ever.

Only an idiot would play this crappy game!

he:? ? ?

His expression gradually turned cold, and his eyes, which had been disguised as black, began to show their original color. The white hair on his head also became cold and sharp, almost standing up.

A bunch of unruly people! He shouldn't have given them a chance, shouldn't have let them into his world. He even gave them nine lives. These people only deserved to rot and die here...

At this moment, a clear and firm voice penetrated the insults and slander and entered my ears.

——I am a staunch supporter of New Heaven and Earth.

——If it is really as those people say, why would the game remind players about the nine lives?

——I believe in games, and the games are in me.

He paused slightly, and some people said they supported him and believed in him!

Then, a feeling of joy rose up involuntarily.

The blown-up fur was stroked promptly and gently, and immediately calmed down. If he had a tail at this time, it would have curled up involuntarily, just like his paws that were itchy and couldn't help but want to step on the milk.

Humph, among all the stupid humans, there is still one who is not so stupid.

He felt a little better and followed the direction of the sound, eventually finding himself at an internet cafe.

At this time, there was not much noise in the Internet cafe because there were not many "New World" players here.

The internet cafe owner was scowling. The manager said, "Boss, why don't we close the New World area first? If something really happens, our internet cafe will have to pay for it."

As the manager was speaking, he suddenly felt cold all over, as if he was being stared at by a wild beast. He turned around and saw a white-haired boy staring at him with a stern face and a pair of dark, heavy and cold eyes.

manager:!

His whole body suddenly froze, and an instinctive sense of crisis almost made him run away.

The next moment, the young man spoke: "What were you talking about?"

The boy's voice was pleasant, but his tone was a bit strange, as if he seldom spoke in this language. When each word entered one's ears, it felt as if a claw had scratched one's heart.

But it was this opening that dispelled that strange feeling of oppression. The two offset each other and everything seemed normal again.

The manager couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, only to realize how tense his muscles had been just now.

Looking closely, this young man is very good-looking, but at such a young age, he dyed his hair white, wore a big gold chain, and wore flowery clothes. What a tragic aesthetic! Such a good-looking face is wasted.

He smiled and said, "Classmate, are you here to play games? What game do you want to play?"

The boy looked at him and said, "New World."

Manager: "Student, aren't you online? There's a major problem with New World. Our internet cafe is temporarily closed to the New World experience area."

"Isn't it open?"

"It's going to be shut down soon. Other games are pretty good too, like Victory, which is the hottest game right now and much more fun than New World."

The young man curled his lips and said, "You stupid and annoying troublemaker, your account is gone!"

The manager felt uncomfortable with his gaze, so he ignored him and turned to persuade the boss again.

He secretly took money from Qisheng's people, and Qisheng hopes that all Internet cafes will close the "New World" experience area.

If he closes one more company, he will get more benefits.

The boss was still hesitant: "That's not necessary. Even if there's a problem with the game, it's not our fault."

"If something really goes wrong, will those people still have any sense? They might even think we're accomplices in the game. It's better to have less trouble than more."

He persuaded and persuaded the boss again and again, and he finally relented: "Then let's close it first. How many players are still on the third floor?"

"Not many, there are still a dozen or so. I'll go talk to them."

Lin Fuxia was just about to put on her helmet and enter the game again when someone suddenly knocked on the door. She went to open the door and saw the Internet cafe manager.

After hearing the other party's explanation, her expression suddenly became uneasy: "Shut down the New World area? Why?"

The manager smiled and said, "This is also for your safety."

Lin Fuxia frowned: "What's so unsafe about playing a game? I can be responsible for my own life."

The manager's attitude hardened: "Our internet cafe has already decided to close the entire New World area. We can't just open it for you, right?"

Then he smiled and said, "Of course, our internet cafe will refund all the customers' spending today. Please don't make it difficult for us."

Lin Fuxia looked at him for a while, then turned back to the private room to pack her things. She put on her bag and went to the first floor. She asked the boss, "Can the gaming helmet be rented out?"

"The Shincheonji helmet? Sorry, no."

"Other gaming headsets can be rented out, but not Xintiandi's?"

The boss said in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, this is really not available for rent."

Lin Fuxia had no choice but to leave. When she passed by the door, she saw a young man dressed strangely and was stunned.

It's not just because the other person has a very eye-catching appearance, but also because the way he looks at himself is a little strange.

How to say it, for the first time, she felt that glowing eyes was not an exaggeration.

The moment the other person saw him, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Lin Fuxia: ? Know yourself?

Or I know the heroine of the novel who is very similar to me.

She couldn't help but become a little alert. Calculating the time, according to the novel, her original body was discovered by the Lin family in the past few days.

The author has something to say:

Xia Xia: I flatter, I flatter, I flatter~

Cat: She loves me so much!
