Chapter 17



Recently, StarCraft players have discovered that a group of strange people have suddenly appeared in various discussion sites.

When that group of people see good-looking celebrity players or good-looking anchors show up, they say, "Wow, so beautiful! This must have been sculpted by the goddess Nuwa herself. Unlike me, I was sculpted out by a vine covered in mud QAQ."

Even celebrity players and anchors can’t figure it out. I just want to say one thing:

Wake up, what's with the canes being pinched and thrown out of mud? Aren't we all genetically screened from the embryonic stage and then developed in an incubator?

In addition, this group of people will post a string of "suck sniff sniff sniff sniff sniff sniff sniff sniff sniff" and "give me some luck" under some posts showing off dropped items, making the poster feel strange and as if something important has been sucked away.

What's wrong with these people? Are they going crazy?

What are they smoking? Is there anything else you can smell in Starnet?

After these people sucked it out, only confused StarCraft players were left.

After a while, a kind person finally explained, "I think I know what's going on. They're probably not breathing in gas, but rather a way of envying your good fortune and wishing they had it too."

Did I miss something? I'm not disconnected.

The kind-hearted person who explained didn't say much, waved his hand and left a link portal, without taking away a cloud.

After the curious StarCraft players walked through the portal, they saw several videos about "Shan Hai Lu" on the homepage of Qinghuang Bujie Xiaobaicai.

One is [My daily life as a useless pendant and the domineering goddess Sister Xihe.avi]

One is [Surprise, the origin of mankind is actually - the hidden plot of the Nuwa statue is revealed, the story behind the human race.avi]

The last one is [Fan submission, card drawing illustrations, people can't always be immortal.avi]

After watching all the videos and comments, the StarCraft player who came in through the portal finally understood where the memes that he couldn't understand before came from. After watching those card drawing videos for a long time, he quietly went to find the game "Shan Hai Lu" to play.

This situation still happens in many places.

Among these videos, the ones related to the characters and plot of "Record of Mountains and Seas" attracted quite a few people, but the one with the most views was actually the card drawing video.

This situation probably comes down to human nature of gambling.

This kind of gambling habit does not mean gambling, but the expectation and dopamine secretion brought about by any probabilistic thing. This is why some people clearly tell themselves that they will stop after the probability is tested, but when they start to draw, they forget all about it and always feel that the next one or the next one will definitely be a winner.

When you don’t have a ticket to gamble on the probability, watching others draw cards has a similar effect.

Simply put, these card drawing videos are addictive.

So in a short period of time, on the ranking list of the Innovation Plan activity, the game "Shan Hai Lu" climbed up at an extremely fast speed from around 10,000th place, climbed into the top 5,000, climbed into the top 1,000, climbed into the top 500, climbed into the top 100.

It only took seven days, and there were still three days before the event officially started.

The innovation plan starts with one hundred people, and those at the top are no longer individuals or small groups of game makers, but game makers trained by some more famous production teams and large companies, who naturally have a certain fan player base.

The game developers who were ranked lower saw the speed at which "Shan Hai Lu" was rising in the rankings and entering the top 100, and they felt a strong sense of crisis.

"The amount of trolls buying up this "Shan Hai Lu" game is outrageous. Do they really think no one else can see through it?" Someone scoffed at the video on the homepage of the popular online game "Qinghuang Bujie Xiaobaicai" that revealed the hidden plot of Nuwa creating humans. "That's outrageous! What kind of people are made of clay? How could anyone play with such an illogical worldview?"

"There must be something good about the rapid growth in popularity of this game. Why don't I give it a try?" said the assistant next to him weakly.

"No need!" The man with a cold sneer immediately refused, "There's no need to contribute to his trial number."

——This person’s name is Lunqi, and he is also a game producer who participated in the innovation program. He is currently ranked 90th.

But he was not satisfied with the results.

Even if he can get his current ranking, it is because his company is the largest game production company in the league, Star, and the company gave him a small recommendation position.

In Lenchi's opinion, among all the game producers participating in the innovation program, only the games he produced are truly meaningful and interesting. The others, including Lake who ranked first, were pushed to the top by fans because of their fame, which made him very dissatisfied.

But at least he could comfort himself by saying that he was not as famous as others and that there was nothing he could do about his inability to rank higher.

But what is this "Records of Mountains and Seas"?

A dark horse brought up by the internet trolls?

Seeing that the popularity of "Shan Hai Lu" was steadily rising and gradually surpassing the 99th person to 98th, Lunqi's face was full of anxiety. He repeatedly paused the live broadcast recording of Qinghuangjie Xiaobaicai. The assistant next to him didn't dare to say anything and quietly did his work.

As he watched, Lunqi's gaze suddenly stopped when he saw a certain picture in the recording. He stared at the picture without blinking, and only pulled the progress bar back when the picture was about to be cut off.

That is...

Lunqi suddenly relaxed and couldn't help laughing.

"Sure enough, people who make up worldviews like this always steal things from others to use." Lunqi's face no longer had the anxiety he had when comparing his game data with the data in "Shanhailu".

A few hours later, a post related to "Shan Hai Lu" was posted on the homepage of the discussion site.

[Innovation Project Dark Horse "Shan Hai Lu" "Tributes" to Meihe's "Quicksand Vortex"

"Quicksand Vortex" has the Parafill Vortex, and "Shanhailu" has the Jingwei filling the sea. Is the producer of "Shanhailu" a fan of Meihe?

The post said this, and in it compared in detail the story line of NPC Para filling the vortex in "Quicksand Vortex" and the story line of Jingwei filling the sea in "Record of Mountains and Seas".

Here, paying homage is not a good thing. No matter what kind of tribute, you need to obtain the authorization of the original author before you can create a secondary work. Therefore, few game developers will go to the trouble of paying homage, not to mention that this post uses such a statement.
