People who are good at e-sports are probably born with some special skills in computers. Lin Mingfei just searched for tutorials online and learned how to use a photo editing software. The images she edited out looked decent, at least it was more than enough to fool Xia Xiaotong.
Zhou Yanjun had long known that Lin Mingfei, that old bitch, was a dark-hearted person, far from being kind. But he was still irritated by the photo of himself in a miniskirt. He let out a series of "tsk tsk" sounds, unable to bear the sight, while cursing, "What kind of Japanese girl's inward-curling legs are these?! Has your aesthetic sense been gnawed by a dog?! Doesn't it look off on me?! Didn't the dwarf throw up?!"
Lin Mingfei said lovingly, "Don't be so self-deprecating. Xia Tong and I both think she's quite charming."
Zhou Yanjun: “…”
Zhou Yanjun: "I'm going to vomit now."
After disgusting Fatty Zhou, Lin Mingfei felt better. He returned to his bedroom and just as he lay down, he received a WeChat message from He Youjin.
[Gary He, who just wants to get rich quick: Fang Haoyang just responded to me.]
Gary He, who just wants to get rich quick: It's indeed a bug. The guys in the official technical development department accidentally lumped Omega and Women's data into the same category when setting up the gender selection. And since Xia Tong happens to be petite, the game automatically identified her as a Woman, so her equipment is displayed as a skirt.
[Gary He, who just wants to get rich quick: The official didn't do it on purpose. They're urgently fixing the bug right now. They said it was lucky the bug was only revealed on Xia Tong, otherwise, by the time they release the gift box publicly, the bug would have been gone, and who knows what kind of complaints they'd be getting.]
Gary Ho, who only wants to get rich quick: They asked me to convey their apologies and gratitude to Blink.
Lin Mingfei narrowed her eyes.
Polaros_Zero: I can't feel your apologies or gratitude if they're just words, let alone Blink.
[Gary He, who only wants to get rich quickly:]
Gary Ho, who only wants to get rich quick: You bastard, what do you want?
Polaros_Zero: Please, this isn't my place to think about this. Whoever created the bug should be the one to figure it out. Otherwise, BLink was forced to wear a skirt for nothing. He was so angry he cried, and I spent so much time trying to comfort him. How am I supposed to settle this?
[Gary He, who only wants to get rich quick: ...If I don't help BLink seek justice, does that make me seem like a traitor?]
Polaros_Zero: That's what we're thinking, dear.
[Gary He, who only wants to get rich quick: Speak properly! You're just an old Yin-Yang master!]
Polaros_Zero: Isn't that all? Just move my fingers and order your Mr. Fang to go to the authorities and cry a little. The crying child gets the milk, or as the saying goes, a daughter once married is like spilled water. You don't want to? To ravage your Mr. Fang for us—
[Gary He, who only wants to get rich quick: ...Shut up! I get it, I get it. I'm leaving now. I'm so tired of you!]
To deal with a proud and irritable person like He Youjin, provocation is the most effective method. Everything is under Lin Mingfei's control.
After a good night's sleep, the next morning, the game officials were very considerate and released a bug notification about the new clothing gift box.
"Due to the incomplete sub-categorization of secondary gender data, the display of gift box ready-made bottoms is hindered..." Shi Ya leaned back on the sofa, legs crossed, and read the details of the notice. "—We sincerely apologize for the damage to the image and reputation of Polaris' current Omega player Blink. At the same time, we will accept the supervision of the majority of Wang Ling fans and actively improve the game operation process to reduce the occurrence of similar incidents and live up to expectations."
"Just this?" Zhou Yanjun asked.
"Let me see... there's an appendix below." Shi Ya continued reading, "After discussion, the authorities will give Polaris' active Omega player Blink the following compensation... Holy crap!"
"What's wrong?" Zhou Yanjun was eating snacks and was so scared by his scream that he almost bit his tongue.
"We've officially decided to give all the ready-to-wear gift boxes since the opening of the Wangling game mall, including all the limited-time, limited-edition special event exclusives, to Blink free of charge as spiritual compensation!" The young master's eyes were red with envy as he was being taught by the appearance instructor. "Oh my god! Xia Xiaotong, you really can go travel the world with Holographic Tongtong!"
Xia Tong was sitting on the sofa opposite, watching a new TV series on her phone. She looked up blankly at Shi Ya's surprise, not reacting at all. "Huh?"
"What?" Shi Ya said resentfully in a tone of "I'm the only one at the foot of Lemon Mountain": "Do you know about last year's Halloween special gift box! It was limited to fifty sets! How much has it been sold for by scalpers now?" He bent three fingers and made a "six" gesture.
Xia Tong: "Six hundred?"
Shi Ya: “Six figures!!!”
Xia Tong: “?!!”
"And even if you have money, you can't buy it!" Zhou Yanjun echoed, "These gift box appearances are bound once you wear them. In other words, when you wear one, you lose one."
"So that's how it is." Xia Tong suddenly realized, then clapped her hands happily and said, "Then? I feel like I made a profit!" "Of course! You made a lot of money!" Shi Ya said.
In the evening, the five-member Polaris team usually plays games to prepare for group training.
"Wait, wait!" Before they could close the cocoon cabin, He Youjin rushed in and stopped them.
"What happened? Is the base on fire?" Zhou Yanjun wondered.
"No!" He Youjin said, "Have you read our official Weibo?"
"No." Shi Ya rolled her eyes and said, "No one? You bought us some online trolls. What are you looking at? Are you looking at people? Why are they cursing at us in all sorts of ways?"
"How could that be? With our current popularity, fans can't wait to say we love you!" He Youjin said, "Let's get back to the point. Tens of thousands of fans signed a blood petition requesting Blink to do a costume-changing livestream!"
Xia Tong: “?”
"Wow." Lin Mingfei, that old beast, said expressionlessly, "Where is the blood letter?"
"Here it is, here it is." He Youjin quickly unlocked his phone and flipped through it to find the picture.
It really was a large white cloth with many people's names and handprints printed densely in red.
"Look! Isn't it shocking!" He Youjin said in horror: "I never expected that Xia Tong would have so many crazy fans!"
Zhou Yanjun took a closer look, his nose almost touching He Youjin's phone screen. He sniffed and said, "I've had this ketchup before! It's from Weiwei Bear."
He Youjin: "?"
Shi Ya: "Oh? It's the store that started out specializing in ketchup?"
Zhou Yanjun: "Yes, their ketchup is high in quantity, low in price, and thicker. Most importantly, they add mulberry seeds to the ketchup! It's delicious!"
He Youjin: "...What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Look, the purple-black grains inside these horizontal and vertical lines are mulberry seeds!" Zhou Yanjun raised his little finger and tapped He Youjin's mobile phone screen with his fingernail.
"I heard their ketchup became so popular initially because it resembled blood so much," Shi Ya said with a smile. "It was often used as a prank, and the owner got scared a few times. Finally, they decided to add mulberry seeds to distinguish it, and it became their brand signature. I wonder if it's real or fake?"
He Youjin was shocked: "...Can they be any more boring???"
"They are bored because no one really would believe it." Lin Mingfei said meaningfully.
He Youjin immediately exploded: "What do you mean? Are you saying I'm stupid?"
Lin Mingfei: "I didn't say that."
He Youjin had never been kind to this Alpha dog, and he asked angrily, "So? What's your attitude towards the fans' demands?"
Lin Mingfei frowned slightly. "Blink isn't a model, why is she changing clothes for them? Don't you have anything else to do? Just ignore them."
He Youjin: "What the hell? Is that your attitude?"
Lin Mingfei: "But it's no use asking me. You have to ask the person involved. The person's opinion is the most important. If Xia Xiaotong agrees, then I agree."
He Youjin turned to Xia Tong: "Xia Xiaotong?"
Xia Tong straightened her neck, stretched out her arms, and hugged Lin Mingfei like a koala: "I only listen to Zero!"
He Youjin: "...you two are teasing me."
Shi Ya watched the fun from the sidelines without a care in the world, and sighed hypocritically: "It's over, I'm starting to sympathize with our fans."
Bo Yu: "It's really tragic."
"That's what I'm saying!!! You guys have fans now!! Can you please stop being so unrestrained? Can you please be nicer to them?! Aren't you afraid that they'll stop following you if you get pissed off too many times?!" He Youjin beat his chest and stamped his feet, "You're not afraid, but I'm really afraid!!!"
Lin Mingfei raised her eyebrows and looked down at Xia Tong: "What do you think?"
Xia Tong pouted and hugged him tighter: "It's so embarrassing to change clothes in public..."
"I don't want to share your lovely side with others all the time." Lin Mingfei whispered.
"But the fans look a bit pitiful." Xia Tong said softly. He shook Lin Mingfei: "Zero, then? What should we do!"
Lin Mingfei: “.”
The little Omega's embarrassed look of asking for help is both pitiful and cute.
No one can remain indifferent in this situation.
Lin Mingfei curved her eyes.
"I've got a good idea," he said. "You can wear those new looks in the arena, changing them after each match. That could barely count as a costume-changing livestream, right?"
Xia Tong thought about this plan and felt that it was within an acceptable range. It wasn't so embarrassing anymore, so she clapped her hands and said, "Okay!"
"What the hell is that? That's just some kind of costume-changing livestream!" He Youjin yelled, "You guys are jumping up and down, how can the fans see anything?"
"You get to see our BLink at his most heroic!" Lin Mingfei gave a fake smile, then her lips drooped. "Aren't our team's Omegas tired of changing clothes? We've done the best we can! Tell them to get lost if they don't want to. They've spoiled themselves!"
He Youjin was stunned: "!"
Zhou Yanjun patted the dumbfounded Benji's shoulder and said, "I guess this is what it means to be fearless when loved."
He Youjin had a dull expression and poked Lin Mingfei with his thumb: "A guy like this? Does he deserve fans?"
"Not only that, there are many more." Shi Ya put her arm around He Youjin's other shoulder and sighed, "They just... like this kind of energy. It's perverted, isn't it?"
Soon, He Youjin witnessed the perverted extent of the "Zero fans".
Originally, he still wanted to save face for Lin Mingfei, so he didn't make the old dog coin's vicious words public. He just promoted it on Weibo, implicitly saying "Blink's online live broadcast later will have a costume change segment."
When fans saw "Blink's costume change", they became excited and rushed into the live broadcast room one after another. They did nothing but swipe a large cruise ship first.
[Ezi, remember to learn to model specific locations! Mom wants to take a few more screenshots!]
[Can you do more cute poses? OvO]
[I want to see her little eyes spin around like a little angel! ]
Am I the only one who really wants to see BLink transform into a cool guy?
[I already expected that the authorities were trying to grab money.]
What if my little girl looks good in everything she wears? QAQ Mommy doesn’t have that much money!!
......
Xia Tong opened the warehouse interface in full view of everyone. The official gave him more than thirty gift box sets in total, and the backpack was filled with appearances. He didn't think much about it, just picked one and put it on with the right button.
A string of exclamation marks instantly floated across the barrage area.
[Oh my god! This set is so cute! ! !]
【Ah ...
[Wow wow wow wow wow give me a blood pack!! Give me a blood pack!!]
I'll buy it! I'll buy it right now!
[Buy it now! This was a Halloween special from last year! It's a limited edition set! The market price is six figures! ]
[But this is so fucking cute! woooo ...
......
It was a dress suit with dark brown and pumpkin yellow as the main colors. The white bloomers and puff sleeves were designed based on the clothing features of the royal families in medieval Europe. It was retro and elegant. The Omega had a petite figure with a wonderful body proportion. Wearing this suit, with a small golden crown on her head, even the wizard's wand in her hand was replaced with a small golden scepter. She looked noble, handsome, sweet and cute, just like a large figurine.
Xia Tong stretched her limbs and marveled at the exquisite appearance of the suit. Suddenly, she felt that the six-figure price tag was justifiable.
The barrage section was still clamoring to take pictures, but the game screen suddenly jumped, prompting the player to enter the arena.
Fans were shocked.
[Holy crap!!! Why are we playing in the arena!!!]
[Where's the costume-changing part?!? Why are we now in the arena?!?]
@Polaris_Zero, ahhhh, please be a human being! ! Why are you queuing for an arena at this hour?!
[In your Polaris world, is there only an arena that belongs to his mother?!]
[You guys are a bunch of PVP dogs!! I hate you!!]
......
Lin Mingfei ignored the barrage of complaints and took Xia Tong to the arena for a day trip. After they came out, the barrage of complaints became even more fierce.
[Oh my god, this is just a lonely sight!! It’s all skill effects!! It’s all skill effects!!]
Are we playing the game of "Find out where BLink is?"?
Hey guys, I took a screenshot. This is what I captured! Phantoms! All of them are phantoms!
[I can make an emoticon, I am so excited that I am blurry :)]
[Girls, we've been tricked! What the hell is this dress-up segment?!]
After all the Polaris members won a game, Xia Tong followed Lin Mingfei's instructions and right-clicked to change to a gift box appearance. This suit was a snow-white long suit, paired with pure white leather shoes, making him look like a young groom getting married.
The barrage area went crazy again like wolves and tigers.
【Aaaaahhh this set is so cute too! ! ! !】
My mom's fans have gone bad! I'm not clean anymore!
[I want to marry Naitong! Naitong, will you marry me?!]
[I can marry Tongtong too! ! ! ! Where can I get a number plate? ! ! !]
[This set is unlimited! ! This set is unlimited! ! I’m going for it! ! !]
[Buying a suit for the little groom? Woohoo! Woohoo! Love it!]
......
As a result, before they could finish their roar, Lin Mingfei lined up in the arena again.
What followed was the familiar flash of swords and sabers, as fast as lightning. The little wizard moved around nimbly, cast spells, and attacked, and the battle was over in no time.
The fans in the barrage area are already numb.
"I'm almost certain now that Zero the thief did it on purpose."
[I just changed my outfit and went into the arena??? I can't see any details about the outfit!]
[Thanks to Zero, I captured a bunch of phantoms again. I feel like my vision is not far away :)]
"Can't we just not play in the arena?! Can't we just let me enjoy the static BLink for a while?!"
Lin Mingfei glanced at the barrage area and said calmly, "No."
Fans in the barrage area: "......"
Lin Mingfei continued slowly, "Blink's job is to be a professional player, not an influencer selling products. If he doesn't train and loses the game, will you still love him as much as you do now?"
The barrage area was filled with a large number of "will love" words.
Lin Mingfei snorted lightly: "What the hell, I believed your lies."
Fans in the barrage area: "......"
Lin Mingfei: "Fans' words are deceiving. If BLink doesn't know me, how could he not know you? You say 'I loved you' now, but you will climb the wall faster than anyone else when the time comes."
After a pause, he casually continued, "So, I never try to cling to or bully my fans. We have a two-way relationship, and it's free to come and go. You can choose to love me if I win, and curse me if I lose. I can also choose to ignore your unreasonable demands and say 'Look if you like, leave if you don't' to your annoying comments.' That way, everyone is equal and comfortable. Don't you agree?"
At this moment, the style of the barrage area gradually changed.
[Fuck, how can this Alpha dog say "refuse to pamper fans" so confidently! ]
[But I actually think he's right QAQ, absolutely! I'm being PUA'd by him, right?!]
[Do you think I'll stop being a fan just because you said that?! I won't! I've been a fan for eight years! I'm always loyal!]
[Wow, wow, wow, he's so handsome when he's preaching seriously, wow! ]
[Zero is a super reliable captain no matter how you look at it. Polaris is lucky to have you.]
This is the style of a team aiming to win a championship! Staying true to their original aspirations! Focusing on the task at hand! Much better than those teams that constantly mess around and mess with the team's character!
[Z-God!! I entrust my little eyes to you!! I feel so relieved!!]
[I feel like God Z is especially protective of little Tongtong!]
Who doesn't God Z protect?! When Fire's outrageous words drew criticism, wasn't it God Z who saved the day?
[Wow, wow, wow, God Z is really the pillar of Polaris! I'm exhausted!]
[I will always love Zero!! I will always love Lin Mingfei!!!]
【Lin Mingfei YYDS!!!】
......
When He Youjin entered Polaris's live broadcast room again through the mobile client, he was shocked to see such a huge amount of barrages praising Lin Mingfei. He went to the Weibo super topic and forum to look up the relevant causes and consequences, and found out that the cause was that Lin Mingfei scolded the fans and said something like "I can also choose to ignore your unreasonable demands and say to you little bastards' annoying barrages, 'Watch it if you want, leave if you don't want to'" and other conscienceless nonsense.
After three hours of training, Lin Mingfei and Xia Tong quit the game, chatting and laughing, and were about to go back to the bedroom to rest, but were caught by He Youjin.
"To be honest, this 'dressing session' of yours really opened my eyes... In the online sales industry, it's the biggest negative example!" He Youjin said to Lin Mingfei, holding up his mobile phone.
"How can it be that bad? I wear every one of them!" Xia Tong said unconvinced.
"What's the point of wearing it?! As soon as you put it on, you line up in the arena, and then you start teleporting! Honestly, I've searched Weibo and forums, but I can't find even a complete set of photos of you changing clothes! I couldn't even edit it and post a grid of photos for sales!" He Youjin complained angrily, holding up his phone, and turned to Lin Mingfei, "I don't understand. Do you have any magic powers? How did you manage to coax these fans into submission? They even call you the eternal god? Ugh, too childish!"
"Do I even need to ask?" Lin Mingfei said lazily, "Of course it's because he's handsome and has a charming personality."
He Youjin: “…Hehe.”
Lin Mingfei yawned, turned around and prepared to go back to the house. Finally, she patted He Youjin's chest with the back of her hand and said with a smile, "I'm just kidding. Just put yourself in his shoes."
