The appearance of the swordsman in black did cause some heat on the Internet, but only a little bit. After all, even if they are all game players, their favorite types and levels of attention are different. Although many people think that the scene of the swordsman in black killing the flying dragon is quite shocking, if it is just regarded as a plot kill, it is not difficult to understand.
Although many players of that game said that they couldn't find this NPC no matter how hard they looked, other than the players of this game, no one else seemed to care about it at all.
If that were all, it wouldn't be considered hot.
But soon, the black swordsman appeared again.
This time, he appeared in an online game. A certain game guild was trying to get the first kill after the updated version, but because of bad luck, they were wiped out for a whole night. Then when they returned to the Boss room, they were surprised to find that there was an NPC named Black Swordsman. So someone clicked on it out of curiosity, and then the other party asked the same question. Thinking "Maybe this is the game mechanism?", the team members clicked to confirm, and then the Black Swordsman went into the dungeon with them.
Then he killed the Boss with three swords and floated away.
The team members who watched were all confused.
Compared to previous times, this time the heat caused on the Internet was slightly greater, but just like before, everyone thought it might be a plot killing so no one paid much attention to it.
But... after that, things changed.
On various game forums, more and more players said they had encountered the black swordsman, and the games they played were different. Some played single-player games, some played console games, and some played online games. Basically, most of them got stuck in front of a boss and died several times in a row. When they returned to the boss level, they saw a black swordsman standing there, claiming to be a traveler, asking them if they needed help. If they chose yes, he would join the player's next boss battle, kill the boss with absolute advantage, and then leave quietly.
This situation has become more and more common, and players have increasingly discovered that something is wrong. At first, they could explain it as a "plot kill" or "game hidden easter egg", but as the Black Swordsman appears in more and more games, this inference is no longer tenable. Because the Black Swordsman basically appears in all combat games, whether it is RPG, ACT or even FPS, he can be seen, and he is dressed the same every time.
Even in science fiction shooting games, he wields a broadsword in one hand and a dagger in the other, fighting against bosses like giant robots.
So the players suddenly became curious and started asking this question.
So who is that black-clad swordsman?
Players have also asked the game companies, but all of them said that they definitely did not design such a character in the game. Of course, although it cannot be ruled out that an employee within a company made such a little joke, the Black Swordsman appears in too many games, which means that if this was done by a certain person or organization, then they must be spread across major game companies around the world...
In order to change this situation, various game companies have launched patch updates, but it is of no use. Even if they find a way to ban this Boss directly, the Black Swordsman will appear in another Boss level that is extremely stuck.
For the players, this situation is undoubtedly very interesting. In fact, there are people who deliberately die dozens of times just to see if they can encounter this mysterious black swordsman.
After about a week, almost all game forums started discussing this mysterious swordsman in black. After all, he would randomly appear in any game, and he was extremely powerful and almost impossible to defeat. Some players even turned on the modifier to lock their health after encountering the swordsman in black, and planned to fight him. As a result, the swordsman slashed back and the game crashed. Even worse, some people burned their chips and graphics cards.
However, what really made the Black Swordsman a hot topic was a new anime series.
This is a phenomenal animation that was very popular that month. The plot of the latest episode happened to be when the protagonists accidentally discovered the Boss's conspiracy and then fought with the Boss.
As a result, at the last moment of the animation, the Boss's sword that was slashing at the protagonist was blocked by the black swordsman who appeared from nowhere. Then he turned around and introduced himself to the protagonists again, asking them if they needed help. The protagonists also asked for his help, so the black swordsman turned around and chopped the Boss to death with a few swipes.
The entire internet went wild that night.
Some viewers who don't play games said that they couldn't understand the plot at all. Did the production team have to eat shit? The boss was written to be so powerful, but in the end he was chopped down by a passerby? Other viewers who are quite familiar with the game were also stunned. They didn't expect to see the black swordsman's cool moves in the animation. At the same time, they also did not forget to popularize this mysterious black swordsman to the confused animation audience.
However, even more shocking things are yet to come.
When the show was replayed the next day, viewers were surprised to find that the plot had been changed!
Originally, when the boss was about to chop down the protagonist, the black swordsman would suddenly appear to help, but at the end of the rebroadcast episode, the black swordsman did not appear, and the plot became that one of the protagonist's harem sacrificed herself to stop the boss, and then was chopped down by the boss. The protagonist exploded in anger... Well, this is actually a unique skill of the protagonist in Japanese animation.
But for the audience, this is not a problem. The problem is...how come the same episode is rebroadcast in one night with completely different content?
Although the animation company also issued a statement saying that it was a live broadcast accident and that the rebroadcast was the plot they produced, this is an animation, so how could there be any live broadcast accident?
However, the next appearance of the black swordsman shocked the whole world.
This time he’s on…the big screen.
That’s right, movies!
This is a Hollywood science fiction blockbuster that premiered worldwide. Of course, Hollywood movies are all about good guys fighting bad guys, and then the special effects are used to the fullest. So at the end of the premiere of this movie, when the protagonist and the boss were fighting, according to the plot, the boss should have gained the upper hand first, and then the protagonist would fight back. As a result, when the protagonist was beaten down by the boss and had no time to fight back, the black-clad swordsman suddenly appeared again and chopped down the boss with a sword.
And then... nothing happened.
The premiere left audiences around the world confused, and the distributor was also confused. After all, this was not the plot at the original preview.
How did this happen? ?
How did it become like this???
This time, the black swordsman became completely famous, and hundreds of media outlets around the world reported on it. After all, this incident was too strange, and the curiosity of people all over the world was aroused.
At the same time, the masterminds behind the scenes were excited looking at their masterpiece.
"That's it! Look, Mr. Fang Zheng is now a global celebrity!"
Ying Lili waved her hands excitedly. Others couldn't understand how they did it. After all, if you are talking about a game, it is understandable to bury an Easter egg code in it. If it is connected to the Internet, it is possible that a genius hacker broke into the server and modified the data.
But even animations and movies can be modified? And the modifications are flawless?
How is this done?
In fact, all of this is due to Nymph's skills - the little angel's ability is to modify and manipulate information, which means that everything that exists with information as a carrier can be transformed by her at will. If it weren't for the little angel's personal combat power being so poor, no one in the Tiandao Palace would be her opponent.
After all, strictly speaking, everything in the world is the product of information accumulation.
It's a pity that although the little angel's own fighting ability is not zero, it is only slightly stronger than that of ordinary people... This can be regarded as a natural shortcoming.
This is what a mage with pure intelligence and no physique looks like.
"What's next? Are you going to be on a TV show after the movie is over?"
"There shouldn't be any conflicts in the TV series, right? How can we get Mr. Fang Zheng to join?"
"How about stealing someone's love?"
“This is good!!”
By the way, Eriri and Kuroneko are having a blast.
"I say, is this really okay?"
Looking at the two people who were so emotional, Asuna looked at Kurumi uneasily.
"Didn't you say that some committee is investigating this matter? If it goes too far..."
Kuang San has been collecting information all the time. In fact, she also knows that the national government has discovered the existence of these creatures that have traveled to this world, and has set up a special organization and committee to stabilize and deal with this situation. In fact, several "protagonists" who have traveled to this world have been protected by this committee, and they have been provided with personal identification and funding.
However, this organization still knows nothing about Kuang San and the others. After all, Kuang San and the others are hiding very deeply, and the little angel has been monitoring the information network, giving them no chance to detect them.
Regarding the recent "Black Swordsman" incident, the committee also believes that it may have been done by a protagonist who traveled through time and is currently investigating the matter.
Strictly speaking, it's not wrong.
"It doesn't matter. Let them investigate."
Kuang San seemed very calm. She drank a cup of black tea leisurely, then narrowed her eyes and smiled.
"At least now, everyone has formed the concept in their minds that Mr. Fang Zheng is very strong, and he will always appear in critical moments and easily destroy the enemy... Isn't this enough for us? Next, we just need to make the fire burn brighter and brighter, and wait for Mr. Fang Zheng to be summoned to this world."
"Will Mr. Fang Zheng really come?"
This is another problem that Asuna is worried about. After all, this is just a hypothesis. Even if Fang Zheng's image is well known to the world because of Eriri and Kuroneko's actions, it does not mean that he will appear. After all, she and others have a complete set of plots, but Fang Zheng does not have such an "official plot". Is it really useful to rely on this impression?
"This is all we can do now. Don't worry too much, Miss Asuna."
Kuang San seemed very calm.
"Based on my understanding of Mr. Fang Zheng, he would not let go of any opportunity."
