In the next round of the quarterfinals, Juan Canyun faced off against a high-scoring passerby player, Jin Yi Cang Dao. Juan Canyun defeated him with a half-blood advantage.
But after winning the game, Juan Canyun was caught in a very annoying whirlpool of public opinion, that is, the entire network was condemning Lady Disaster.
There is actually nothing special about the confrontation between Lady Disaster and Freya, but judging from the video playback, it seems that Freya is being tortured.
This caused a group of players who had crowdfunded ladder points for Freya to riot. There was no Holy Spirit who didn't like Freya, and if there was... then he must not have reached the maximum level!
The collective riot of the Holy Spirit players also triggered the rhythm of cloud players on Weibo and various player communities. In addition to denouncing Lady Disaster, they also planned to gather a crowd to go to the Pirate City of the Plane Pirates to cause trouble.
This time, the players' anger was so fierce that even Jiang Qiao was dumbfounded. Jiang Qiao initially blocked the conversation between Freya and Lady Disaster in order to avoid some... things they were talking about related to the real world.
But now it seems that this blocking has had the opposite effect. After a whole year of game operation, Jiang Qiao, as a planner, finally has something that players can find to criticize.
But Jiang Qiao apologized quickly and clarified even faster. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the conversation between Lady Disaster and Freya, Jiang Qiao directly released the content of the conversation between Freya and Lady Disaster in the video.
When the video was released, screenshots of the conversations were also attached. After this series of conversations and videos were released, the forum elders in the Holy Spirit Forum also spoke reasonably.
They all saw that Freya was not tortured to death by Lady Disaster, but inherited Freya's hopes. Lady Disaster was just about to hold Freya's relics and shout "Freya---".
Therefore, after figuring out the situation, the forum brothers began to post messages calling on players who were unaware of the situation to stop causing trouble in the pirate camp.
But public opinion eventually spread. There were brothers in the Holy Spirit Forum who defended Lady Disaster. There were also some naive players and cloud players who thought that what Lady Disaster did was too cruel and they were still trying to slander Lady Disaster.
This is the situation on the forum, and the situation on Weibo is even worse, as most of the people on Weibo are still cloud players.
Once the news that Lady Disaster had murdered Freya was confirmed, it was like a queen shouting in front of countless tribes that "all the tribes are trash", instantly dragging Lady Disaster into the abyss of negative public opinion.
But up to this point, everything is the Holy Spirit players' own business. Even if there are more Holy Spirit Cloud players, they just pay attention to and like what the Holy Spirit players are arguing and discussing.
But what made the flames of public opinion burn even more fiercely was... Juan Canyun joining the Weibo battlefield!
Not only did he join the Weibo battlefield, he also went into battle as the number one vanguard general!
Juan Canyun was, after all, a 19-year-old boy. He was able to control his emotions and understood that Lady Disaster was actually inheriting Freya's hope by doing this.
But the stream of criticisms against Lady Disaster on Weibo was too much for Juan Canyun to bear. He didn't know why.
Isn't it just an NPC in the game who was hacked? It's normal for players to hack NPCs.
But the more Juan Canyun thought about it, the more upset he felt. This feeling was just like the dull and depressed feeling Lady Disaster had felt when she was surrounded by players.
The worst thing was that those people in Lady Black Disaster just happened to flock to Juan Canyun's Weibo, constantly posting things like 'Can Master Juan Canyun perform a ten-cut in the next game?'
'Recommend online a hundred ways to die with a spear!'
Because the next round Juan Canyun will face Lady Disaster, people who know the inside story hope that Juan Canyun can help them vent their anger.
All of this made Juan Canyun somewhat out of control, and he eventually made a big mistake. He reposted one of the most popular articles on Weibo, about Lady Black Disaster.
This article did not come from a Holy Spirit player, but from a marketing account... After making groundless accusations, this marketing account wrote an article that completely intensified the conflict.
"Holy Spirit: Pirate NPCs in the game are killing players' wives? Hundreds of thousands of Holy Spirits are on the road to revenge. "
After reposting this article, Juan Canyun added a sentence: "Can the haters be quiet? What did the lady do wrong?"
This reposting… Juan Canyun caused a disaster! That is, the discussion among the Holy Spirit players was completely spread to the entire Chinese e-sports community.
Originally, the popularity of this game marketing account was not very high, only about one million followers, and it was even a question whether the fans were real.
But who is Juan Canyun? He is the most dazzling player in the Chinese Dispute professional circle this year! Juan Canyun, who just won the Dispute World Championship, has seen his Weibo fans soar from 3 million to 15 million!
This number of fans is comparable to some national stars! Even Zhao Mingwei, who was once the number one in disputes, only has 7 million fans.
Juan Canyun's fame happened to be at the peak of his career. After Juan Canyun reposted the article, the entire Chinese e-sports circle, and even some fans who didn't play games, knew about it.
The most fatal thing is that Juan Canyun’s female fans swarmed into Juan Canyun’s Weibo and asked...
'Who is the lady?'
"Is that little bitch worthy enough for my little girl to call her Madam?"
"Killing Freya is not wrong, being a world champion is awesome."
Chaos... Juan Canyun was holding his phone and looking at the number of replies to the Weibo post he reposted. He instantly jumped from one thousand to two thousand, and after refreshing, it instantly exceeded ten thousand. He was stunned.
He was always able to remain calm on the court, but in the face of the overwhelming attack from netizens and public opinion, Juan Canyun felt his head starting to hurt.
A large portion of fans who like Juan Canyun are female fans. It is very common for the professional circle to be like the celebrity circle. Some players even dare not to fall in love in order to ensure the popularity of their female fans.
For professional players like Juan Canyun, who have a large proportion of female fans, he may have no choice but to choose this path if he wants to ensure his commercial value.
But Juan Canyun made a mistake... a huge mistake! The fans who flocked to him began to ask who Lady Disaster was and what happened to Freya again
Originally, fans were slightly relieved when they heard that Lady Disaster was a character in a game. The characters in the game would not snatch away their idol Xiao Wen.
However, a well-known marketing account published an article titled "The player speaks for the NPC character in the game! The relationship between this player and this NPC may not be as simple as you think."
This article analyzes the relationship between Juan Canyun and Lady Disaster in the game, including all the things Juan Canyun did to save Lady Disaster, and also includes some videos.
The article itself became an instant hit thanks to the traffic support from Juancanyun, and fans flocked to read it and realized that they didn’t even need to have played Holy Spirit before, as they could understand it just by reading it.
Juan Canyun didn't just treat Lady Disaster as a game NPC, he treated her as his sweetheart!
In just a few hours, a question like "What is the relationship between Xiao Wen and Lady Disaster?"
Juan Canyun's fans are also rational, but their rationality is limited to the fact that they think Lady Disaster is just an NPC in the game and has no comparison with a real-life love interest! However, another large number of fans do not think so, and a small number of fans are very worried that Juan Canyun will be affected by the game Holy Spirit in his competitive state.
In short, Juan Canyun was pushed to the forefront of public opinion without him noticing. He sat on the sofa and watched the increasing number of comments and discussions.
Juan Canyun was a little scared and wanted to delete the article he had reposted, but... the moment he was about to delete it, his arm was held down by the black pot of boiling meat beside him.
"Why delete it? We make a living by our technology, not by our fans." Heiguozhurou said to Juancanyun.
“But won’t this damage the club’s reputation?” Juan Canyun was really scared. Some people on Weibo were already questioning whether there was a problem with the management of Yuedong Nuclear.
"If Weibo can bring down our club, President Yin might as well quit his job and start selling meatloaf pancakes." Hei Guo Zhu Rou sat down on the sofa again and said, "If it were me, I would have posted on Weibo and fought these trolls for three hundred rounds!"
"Xiao Wen, don't learn from him." Mo Shigui also knew about what happened on Weibo. He approved of the first half of the method of cooking meat in a black pot, but the second half was prohibited.
"I...No, but it still feels a little uncomfortable."
Juan Canyun kept reading the comments on Weibo, and there were still a lot of comments that were speaking ill of Lady Disaster.
These people were all criticizing Lady Disaster, but Juan Canyun felt a little suffocated for some reason.
"Feeling uncomfortable? Xiao Wen, you're not really in love with that female pirate, are you? I know a lot of players like her great figure, but she's just a game character. If you really want to fall in love, I can recommend a few to you." Hei Guo Zhu Rou said like an experienced person.
"I...no! I just care about these things."
Juan Canyun didn't know how to answer for a moment. He could only keep refreshing the Weibo on his phone and then check other mobile apps.
Now Juan Canyun was a little confused. Did he like Lady Disaster? Juan Canyun didn't know... maybe he just had some feelings for this heroic female pirate.
But she is a character in the game! What's the point of liking a character in the game
Can't get married, can't be brought to meet parents, is it really possible to play the game of Holy Spirit for a lifetime? With the update of the version, the role of Lady Disaster will probably be eliminated
Juan Canyun subconsciously still regarded Lady Disaster as an object, an object defined as an NPC, just like Freya was a puppet.
No matter how he falls in love, he can never truly regard Lady Disaster as his lover.
When Juan Canyun was thinking this... he logged into the Holy Spirit Cloud Player APP and suddenly discovered a new function, a function he had never seen before.
NPC message box.
Juan Canyun opened the message box and found that he had a lot of unread emails, and all the messages were signed by Madam Disaster!
At this moment, Juan Canyun was stunned. The earliest letter was sent twenty days ago, when he left China for the first time to fight in a foreign country. From that day on, he had not logged into Sheng Ling for twenty consecutive days.
Juan Canyun opened the earliest unread email with some trembling, and read the messages from Madam Disaster one by one.
6/10/6:11—Hey boy, I caught a big fish. Where have you been
6/10/8:21—I don’t like playing hide-and-seek, and I don’t want to ask which puppet is in your room! Get out of here if you see this message!
6/11/12:21—Okay! You won. I asked your friends. What competition are you preparing for? What competition is more important than emptying a ruin? Anyway, where is the venue? I might be able to check it out. I know you can see the message. Reply quickly...
6/13/5:00—I have never heard of the Eagle Country in the world of Brand Island, but as the greatest pirate on the star map, it should be easy to find a way to this country.
6/15/12:12—Your friends have been saying that I am a virtual character and do not exist in reality. I can understand what they are saying. The most straightforward way of describing it is that in their eyes, I am just an object, a puppet that can interact, and puppets have no right to interfere in the life of their owners. I can't listen to this nonsense at all, but boy... I want to know what you think! Reply as soon as possible!
6/16/6:42—Maybe I am just an object in your eyes? A puppet? An NPC. There are some things I can't say here, but I'm really not. Look at me... I'm right here, why can't you feel it? Is it because I can't go to your so-called reality
Look at me, I'm right here...
Juan Canyun was trembling as he read these words, and he could hardly hold his phone. What was the difference between virtual and reality
He could touch Lady Disaster in the Holy Spirit, and could also feel Lady Disaster's body temperature.
Is this different from reality? Is she just an NPC? Is she just a piece of data
But how could the person who wrote these words be a piece of data! Lady Disaster has her own thoughts and feelings.
It’s just that Juan Canyun couldn’t feel it.
Juan Canyun forced his hands to calm down. He took a deep breath and exited the Holy Spirit·Cloud Player program. Then he opened Weibo and searched through his phone albums... for the photos he had taken of Lady Disaster when she changed into the clothes he had given her.
Juan Canyun then edited a Weibo post, attached the photo and sent it out.
'Introduce me, this is the person I like! '
This Weibo post was like a nuclear bomb, creating an epic explosion in the already turbulent wave of public opinion, and everyone was stunned.
But Juan Canyun's fans think that Juan Canyun is joking, just like when a character in the animation says "Look, this is my wife" and is considered a joke by fans.
Because... this is a fictional character.
"Xiao Wen, don't be angry. If anyone scolds you, we will help you to scold him back!"
"Master Juan Canyun, are you serious? I said Lady Disaster is my wife."
Juan Canyun looked at this comment and replied seriously, "No, I might really like her. I have seriously considered pursuing her. This is not a joke."
The player who was replied to typed a series of question marks and then replied, "Master Juan Canyun, are you kidding me, or are you out of your mind?"
'Xiao Wen, don't give up on yourself! There are many beautiful girls who like you in real life!'
Juan Canyun looked at this comment and replied, "I'm not giving up on myself, I'm serious!"
"It's over! Xiao Wen finally went crazy playing Holy Spirit and took a game character as his wife!"
'I'm not crazy!'
Juan Canyun kept replying to a series of questioning questions, but in the end no one believed that Juan Canyun really regarded Lady Disaster as a lover he wanted to pursue.
Everyone thought that Juan Canyun was joking, joking for the sake of their previous rhythm, even though Juan Canyun responded to every questioning comment by saying that he was serious.
But still no one believed it.
"Xiao Wen! I know that people your age have some chuunibyou! If you really want to fall in love, tell me!" Hei Guo Zhu Rou also knew about this, and hurried over to Juan Can Yun and said, "I'll introduce you to one or two beautiful girls! You can choose any one!"
"I'm serious, senior." Juan Canyun said.
"It's over! It's all over!" Hei Guo Zhu Rou looked at Juan Can Yun's expressionless face, feeling like he was looking at a psychopath. "Coach! Come quickly! Xiao Wen is that old too!"
But Mo Shigui read Juan Canyun's Weibo, and when he looked at Juan Canyun, Juan Canyun finally felt a little scared and shrank his neck, but still said in a low voice, "Coach, I am serious."
Faced with all this, Mo Shigui could only sigh and leave without saying anything.
