Chapter 81



Wang Ling's preparatory activities are more like a battle for supremacy online than a pure holographic esports experience. Each club is like a small nation, vying for the throne of unification. This is why Wang Ling's "preparatory activities" are so popular even without the intense online competition. Fans are truly happy to stay in the live broadcast room to watch the intrigues and exchanges between the major teams.

Polaris's challenge to PvX had been causing quite a stir since the beginning. Initially, everyone was shocked and speechless by their decision, and even Polaris's fans were filled with distrust. However, precisely because of this emotional foundation, after they crushed Raninbow and won, the audience's impression of them changed dramatically. The established impression of "the Withered Team" was diluted, and in its place, the "veteran team with accumulated strength and three consecutive championships" gradually came into everyone's view.

Right now, the five members of Polaris are in a very hot situation. Once the issue of the equipment matching bug came out, they were once again pushed to the forefront of public opinion.

This time, the fans of Polaris, whose hope had just been rekindled, were not willing to give in.

What bug? These are all official game features. If you call them bugs, then they're bugs.

Does anyone stipulate that shoes must be placed in the shoe area? Can you post the regulations?

[So, if you don't know how to use things you're not good at, then it's all bugs? Then from now on, don't read guides, because they're all about bugs.]

Polaris equipped the equipment based on his own abilities. Why do you say they have a bug? And why do you ask the official to fix it? Because you are the official parent of the game?

[I think you're just crazy Rainbow fans. Team Rainbow should just change its name to Team Red. You're both so weak and have red eyes. I think your eyes are so red they're about to bleed.]

......

Perhaps because those who criticized Polaris were always slapped in the face too many times, the opposing opinions on the Internet seem to be a little more "reasonable", but they still continue to lead the trend without stopping.

[...To be honest, using a buggy equipment build isn't really a matter of principle, right?]

[That's right, if you insist there's a problem, it's the official game development department's fault. Did they fall asleep while programming? [Tap][Tap]]

If you locked this equipment slot so it only held shoes, who would put anything else in it? Hilarious.

[Yeah, it seems a bit unreasonable to insist on using this black Polaris. Can't we just fix the bug quickly?]

[Hehe, why do other teams just know to wear shoes? Only you, Polaris, put jewelry in the shoe area? If you want to cheat, then cheat. Why are you avoiding the important part?]

[Are you mentally retarded? This kind of bug is something most people can find.]

[Alright, I know your master is not very smart anymore, so please kneel down and pay your respects.]

[Haha, so it seems like my brain is just fine.]

[I think the other teams already knew about this bug, but they just didn't bother to do such a dirty thing.]

[Any serious and ambitious professional team wouldn't wear this kind of gear, okay?]

[That is, even if Rainbow loses this match, there is no way we're going to the arena barefoot! How shameful!]

[Strongly request the official to fix the game bugs! ! Optimize the game! ! Give players a fair and just experience! ]

[Please ask the official to punish the Polaris team! Let everyone know the severity of the bug! ! ]

......

He Youjin had been browsing the forum all afternoon, causing his blood pressure to fluctuate. He didn't think anything of it at first, but as the comments became more and more rampant, he gradually began to feel uneasy.

The professional league is not a simple arena for hand-to-hand combat, but a comprehensive competition that tests wisdom, teamwork ability and other conditions. Some people are good at using words, some are good at using their strong financial and power base, then naturally there are people who use their wisdom to find shortcuts in the game. Why do you say this is a bug?

In fact, He Youjin didn't care whether it was a bug, a lack of principles or bad character. He knew better than anyone what the five people of Polaris were like. He was just worried that if this point was really regarded as a "bug" and fixed, then the efforts and hard work of Lin Mingfei and even the entire Polaris for more than half a month would be in vain, and he would feel distressed.

It is so precious that these five members of Polaris can get together. He Youjin hopes that they can all get what they deserve.

He took out his cell phone, found Fang Haoyang in the contact list, and sent him a message.

After a moment, Fang Haoyang responded, but the content was unsatisfactory.

Fang Haoyang Richard: [The game officials have received news about the bug. The specific response is their internal decision. I can't interfere. Sorry, You Jin.]

He Youjin's expression darkened. He slammed his phone on the table and pinched his nose.

Afterwards, he received another message from Fang Haoyang.

Fang Haoyang Richard: [But please believe that the game's developers have never been anyone's lackeys, nor will they be threatened by anyone. Their original intention has always been to provide the public with a platform for enjoyment and the pursuit of their dreams. They understand that only when players' happiness is satisfied can a game develop sustainably and have sufficient momentum and space. So please trust the official; they will not make disappointing decisions.]

He Youjin was silent, and finally replied with a "thank you".

Before the official game response, this period was undoubtedly extremely difficult. Every second seemed to be infinitely stretched, as if several centuries had passed.

He Youjin's brain blood vessels were beating wildly, causing his solar plexus to swell and ache.

He found something very strange. Apart from the fans arguing heatedly about the topic of "requesting bug fixes", no team stood up to express their views.

Is everyone so busy training in the arena at this hour that they have no time to care?

He Youjin was worried.

Around four in the afternoon, the official blogger for the Wangling Game Forum released a cute-looking fan art. It depicted a group of barefoot, round-headed figures holding various weapons. They stood in front of the arena gates, their arms raised high. A large bubble above their heads read, "We're going to fight in the arena!"

Later, the official planning team of the Wangling game retweeted this post with a sarcastic caption: [If it weren't for the requirement that everyone dress politely, we could have left space for both tops and bottoms.]

Such a response directly ignited the entire forum.

[Holy crap!! Haha ...!]

[I see! Listen up, some people! This isn't a bug! It's not a bug!]

[It's just official, hahahahahaha! This picture is so cute! ]

[I won't admit it's a bug, it's an Easter egg made specifically for you by the official dad! ]

[How dare you threaten the official dad! The official dad hasn't blamed you for being so stupid for taking so long to discover this Easter egg!]

Some people really take themselves too seriously, thinking that games are developed for you and that whatever you say is what it is? Doesn't that make them look bad?

I think this design is really fun! I have so many new build options!

[I hope the official will have more Easter eggs like this in the future!! Super interesting!!]

[See? Everyone, go and farm the Scorpion Eye Trench! ! ! The official is so anxious! Hints like these are useless! They're almost whipping you!]

[Stop talking, I'm going to clear the Scorpion Eye Trench now!]

I'm loving this game more and more! What should I do? I think the sarcastic officials and the shameless Polaris are a perfect match!

[Hahahahahaha Polaris fans are so proud now! We're the first ones in the family to discover this!]

[My brother is the smartest person in the world! ! ]

......

He Youjin let out a long sigh, leaned back in his chair, and suddenly laughed.

He thought that people who make games and people who are good at playing games probably have something in common, so they can understand each other and achieve each other.

"Interesting souls are rare." He murmured to himself with a smile, and took out his mobile phone to browse the Weibo super topic.

In those corners, there are still a group of black guys struggling and making noises in their dying moments.

[This is hilarious! The official is so afraid of being embarrassed that they refuse to admit that their game program has a bug, so they resort to this trick? ]

Who the hell is this guy protecting? Did Polaris give money to the authorities?

[It's obvious they're dealing with a PY deal, okay? The league is no longer clean, and their original intentions have long since been abandoned.]

[I'm done with professional gaming. It's boring. I'm quitting! See you in Undead Hegemony.]

[This is so disgusting! How can a team that has worked so hard to open up new areas and build their gear carefully just play?]

[I really feel sorry for my brothers! ! ! ]

[Anyway, even if our brother dies from playing raids, he definitely won't go into the arena barefoot like those dogs on Team P!]

[That's right! Only Polaris would use such a cheesy equipment!]

A zombie-like user suddenly popped up at the bottom and made a sarcastic comment.

[Oh, am I dazzled? Why did I see Team Rainbow in Scorpion Eye Trench? Upstairs, your brother is not going to be a PvX, is he? Ppps, this game is called Royal Tomb, not Undead Domination! You fake fan!]

Rainbow spent a long time reviewing the game after losing to Polaris. When he found out about the mudslide equipment of the five polaris players, his eyes almost popped out of his head.

They couldn't accept that the "polaris as pvx" incident, which they had laughed at along with the public opinion on the forum for a long time, had become the key to defeating them.

So they naturally thought of reporting it.

However, Sabretooth had already experienced this before, and reporting it directly was certainly a very low thing to do, so they thought of using the public opinion of the fans.

It just so happened that there was a fan leader in their fan club who had private contact with Lucas and was a long-time fan of Lucas, so Lucas used this fan's account to create a lot of hype on various platforms.

The huge momentum of this rhythm band made Polaris, who was already like a raging fire, even more controversial. According to Rainbow's original plan, they hoped that other teams would be instigated and follow them to attack Polaris. This would definitely attract the attention of the game officials, and the game officials would definitely take into account the face of the entire participating lineup and take measures against Polaris.

But they never expected that they only incited fans to oppose each other, while the other teams were as quiet as chickens and did not react at all.

The people at Rainbow were puzzled and inevitably felt a little discouraged, but then they thought about the fans' attitudes, which were there, and the official could not ignore it, let alone take it into consideration.

After waiting for a long time, they finally got the official response, but it was not the response they wanted. Not only did the official refuse to admit and fix the bug, but they also spat in their faces.

It's simply suffocating.

Rainbow and his team's wishes were shattered, and they were severely slapped in the face. Feeling extremely upset, Lucas closed the forum and looked up to meet the stern face of their coach.

"Alright, forget about all that nonsense. The officials won't care. Let's get back to the point." The coach said word by word, "Would you also consider visiting Scorpion Eye Trench?"

lucas: “what????”

Strawberry's jaw dropped in shock: "Why would we buy something like that?!"

"Why? You can't conquer the Galoran ruins in such a short time." The coach said mercilessly: "Polaris has found another shortcut for you and paved the way for you. Don't you plan to take it?"

"You're kidding!" Lucas jumped up in anger, slamming the table and shouting, "How can we possibly be PvXs like them? We're PvPs! We're professional players!!!"

"Wearing that kind of gear in the arena... and no shoes... that's outrageous!!" Strawberry's face twisted. "Only a withering team like Polaris would—"

"What's Team Withering? Stop calling them Team Withering!" The coach, fed up with hearing this, cursed. "They beat you fair and square. Don't you have any idea who Team Withering is? Can you guys clarify your positions?"

"Also, I don't care about PvP or PvX. Where do all those superiority complexes and arrogance come from? I'm telling you! As long as we can win the game, you'll have to do it even if you're told to! What's a pro game? If you win, you're a human being, but if you lose, you're trash! Get it?" the coach roared. "With your current level and awareness, you might not even win even if you wear 1500-grade gear! What are you going to do on the court wearing this 1200-grade gear? You're just playing for fun! You're being completely crushed by Polaris, and you're still fucking here."

The Rainbow team was scolded into silence. They all looked pale and lay there like cowering quails. They looked quite pitiful.

After venting his anger, the coach's heart softened at the sight of their expressions. He said earnestly, "Heroes don't care about their past. As long as you can eventually win the league championship, who will care about what you said or did in the past? Time will heal everything."

"But I'm really sick inside!" Strawberry said with a sad face. "One second we're dissing Polaris for wearing PvX gear... and the next second we're trying to imitate them. It's so embarrassing to be like a wise guy!"

"Besides us, who knows you dissed them? It won't backfire." The coach said, "On the contrary, they've already made the public accept this unorthodox method of brushing the Scorpion Eye Trench. If you do it again, you won't get as much criticism. That's actually a good thing, isn't it?"

The coach's words made sense and eased some of the worries of the rainbow players, so they gradually cheered up again.

At this moment, Lucas's phone vibrated and he received a private message on Weibo.

Rainbow's glory lives on: [Brother Lucas, the official Wangling is truly shameless. They accepted bribes from Polaris and didn't even fix the bug. They insisted on calling the bug an Easter egg, simply condoning this kind of bug-fixing behavior!]

Rainbow's glory lives on: [It's already shameful for such a passionate and brave PvP player to play those idiotic mini-games, and then wearing such awful gear to the Arena, not even wearing shoes. It's a disgrace to professional players! I firmly believe that even if such a bug existed, Lucas and the other brothers in Rainbow wouldn't be as shameless as Polaris and his group of old alphas and use such opportunistic equipment to compete in the Arena, right?]

Lucas: "..."

Rainbow's glory lasts forever: [Brother Lucas, why didn't you reply to me? ]

Rainbow's glory lives on: [Brother Lucas, I just saw you liked a fan's Weibo post!!]

Rainbow's glory lives on: [Brother Lucas!!! What do you mean by this?! You're not going to go along with them, are you?! You're not that kind of person, are you?!]

Lucas was so consumed by the lawsuit that he wished he could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it. Then, he came up with a good idea—pretend to be an automatic reply on Weibo! This way, he could be cool and polite and fool the person!

rainbow_lucas: [Thanks for your attention, rainbow is lucky to have you [smile].]

He lost fans :)
