Chapter 50: Moral kidnapping by public opinion

Some players pinch themselves while receiving a massage.

When they felt pain, they would shout "stop". I successfully earned a certain amount of gold coins by using this method.

In order to avoid falling asleep during the massage, some players use earrings or brooches to prick themselves from time to time.

All in all, in order to stay awake, players use a variety of methods.

Few people talk about how to clear the seventh-level racing track, and players all know it tacitly.

Because once you share the method of earning gold coins on the seventh level, it is tantamount to revealing that you once used tricks in the game to put other players to death, which might cause public outrage.

There were several players who had suffered losses on the seventh floor of the Gordon Tower. Although they were lucky enough not to die and completed the game, they still held a grudge against the person who framed them.

So they secretly wrote down or took photos of the players who tripped them up, and posted them on forums or bulletin boards to make other players stay away from them.

In real life, wealthy and powerful players will even issue bounty notices like in the game, offering a large sum of money to anyone who can help them take revenge in the game.

Zhen Jinli sighed silently, then compiled a list of methods to pass the Goton Tower, and then summarized and added the ways to make money quickly in Goton City.

"There aren't many people in Goton who can read and write, especially those in the cultural and creative fields. Jobs are very scarce, and the pay for a week's work is 700 gold coins."

"You don't have to make money in the Goton Tower. You can also quickly earn some gold coins in Goton City by bartering with animal NPCs."

"Even organizing other players to perform simple fairy tales such as Snow White and Cinderella in the Forest Theater can earn a good reward."

Zhen Jinli compiled all his experiences in the game, as well as the methods shared by other players, and turned them all into pictures in black and white, which he posted on Weibo in a nine-square grid format.

Then she edited a second Weibo post, which contained pictures of her and the players performing a play in the Forest Theater.

Zhen Jinli thought about it and cropped Si Yao’s profile picture, only posting a photo of her and other players.

If Si Yao's crazy fans knew that their idol and she played the prince and princess in the game, wouldn't they tear her apart?

She is already busy enough now and doesn't want to be disturbed by Si Yao's group of crazy fans.

When Zhen Jinli posted her first Weibo post, the comments below were quite normal, mostly words of thanks, as well as discussions and optimizations on how to clear the game.

But after she posted her second Weibo post, some of the players who commented below became less friendly.

"Isn't it too late to post this guide? Knowing that you can earn gold coins in Gordon City, shouldn't you have completed the game immediately and then rushed out to tell other players who haven't entered the game yet?"

"You're already the MVP of the game, possessing such a special gaming physique, yet you're still wasting so much time earning points in the game. Why don't you just get out of the game and tell everyone to save more players?"

"Koi savior? That's it? Completely disregarding the lives of those players about to enter the next round of the game, and only caring about earning points in the game?"

Zhen Jinli explained to everyone at the beginning that it was because the animal NPCs recognized her, so she led other players in the game to build the plot IP first, and then let other players organize to continue performing.

She also explained that she had distributed the extra gold coins to other players, and those players who had received her help came to speak for her.

However, there are still some irrational netizens who are busy teaching everyone values ​​and criticizing Zhen Jinli for what she has not done well.

Starting from the silver-level game, she, Su Yan, and Chen Ji were the last players to come out, and they had already entered the gold-level game later than many other players.

In just a few days, the first batch of players who have cleared the gold level will begin to enter the first batch of platinum level games.

Because Zhen Jinli came out of the game too late, she now has to wait another 10 days to enter the platinum level game.

"Do you know how many people could have been saved if this strategy had been released earlier?"

"Compared to the thousands of people in the game, there are tens of millions of people out there waiting for your life-saving solution."

"Why didn't you get out of the game earlier and post the life-saving guide? Instead, you stayed in the game until the end to dawdle for those few points. Do you know how many players you could have saved by wasting your time?"

"Do you even know what social responsibility is? What does it mean to take on responsibilities that are within your capabilities?"

They don't care how many players Zhen Jinli has saved. They will only point fingers from the moral high ground and accuse Zhen Jinli of not saving many players.

Zhen Jinli looked at the angry netizens and was silent for a moment.

She suddenly remembered the news that a certain action star with a box office of tens of billions was often forced to donate by netizens.

Under moral kidnapping, no public figure can escape.

If you don’t do well, you will be mercilessly criticized by netizens.

If you do well, keyboard warriors will criticize you for not doing better.

If she had abandoned her fellow players and released the strategy guide earlier, perhaps she could have saved more players.

But who says that the lives of those thousands of people in the game are not more important than the tens of millions of players outside?

The tens of millions of players out there are just a predictable number to her.

But the players in the game were right in front of her, real lives.

Many players couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to speak for Zhen Jinli.

"You guys have really had enough. Do you have any gratitude? If it weren't for the strategy guide posted on Weibo by Koi Girl, we would have more players dead by now."

"Exactly. You're clearly enjoying the safety and convenience brought by Miss Koi, yet you're acting like a wise man after the fact. Try to be more polite!"

Although Zhen Jinli currently has only more than three million followers on Weibo, she still has netizens who support her.

"Those who curse Sister Koi are orphans without mothers, right?"

"It's easy to talk when you're standing still. If it were you, could you guarantee you could do better than Sister Koi?"

"Will you be happy when Sister Jinli gets scolded so much that she quits the entertainment industry and closes her Weibo account?"

Someone continued to argue, "Sorry, I completed the entire game on my own. Including the gold-level game, I successfully completed it the next day."

If it were me, I would definitely not be like her, ignoring the lives of other players just to earn more points for myself.
