Chapter 98

"I pull for game characters based on my mood. If you all just want a certain character, you can still continue."

"But this matter right now is indeed going a bit too far. I wonder how this public opinion started in the first place?"

In an instant, countless voices shifted from those previous remarks to the scene unfolding now.

They all realized one after another that they had been led by their emotions by that video earlier. Thinking back on it now, they truly felt that video was suspicious.

"The game itself doesn't cost money, and didn't they specifically give away ten free pulls when the game updated to a major version before?" Herta, standing to the side, couldn't help but say.

"In terms of this game's quality, it's actually truly cheap compared to all other games. Why don't you try swapping to another game and see?"

Amidst this persuasion, everyone suddenly remembered.

"That's right, we were given a full ten pulls when the game updated before. Just now, I was led astray by my emotions; I was indeed being a bit too agitated."

"Exactly, everyone think about it carefully. When we played before, didn't they give away tons of benefits on top of the ten pulls?"

"Yeah, yeah! They gave away a lot of Stellar Jades too. Looking at it now, it's really not a small amount at all!"

Just thinking about it this way, their hearts relaxed in unison. Thinking about it like this, the situation really wasn't as bad as what had been discussed just moments ago.

As expected, things like videos are really easy to use to lead people astray!

Asta also breathed a sigh of relief. She had finally managed to pacify everyone's emotions; otherwise, even she would have found it difficult to resolve this matter.

"Then, next..." Asta thought, looking over toward Su Chen.

"Su Chen, be careful. I'm worried that there might be those people in the space station too..." Asta couldn't help but say.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen!" Su Chen, however, appeared very calm.

And at this moment, somewhere in the interstellar space, Silver Wolf was also sitting there, looking at everything in front of her.

"Hmm, why did such a massive wave of public opinion appear all of a sudden?" Silver Wolf looked at the video on the trending list and couldn't help but think.

Her intuition told her that the speed at which this video hit the trending list was not right.

If the speed at which this video hit the trending list was relatively slow before, then the speed at which it was pulled up in this past hour was just too fast.

Looking at it, it clearly didn't look like it was done by a person; it looked more like it had been boosted using some special technical means.

Silver Wolf thought for a moment, clicked in to take a look, and discovered that this was a video baselessly slandering the game.

"Haters? Or paid trolls?" Silver Wolf couldn't help but think.

Ten

"Let me see who exactly you are," Silver Wolf said, using technical means to push into the other party's computer.

As a result, she discovered that the account actually had quite a few games purchased under it.

Not only that, this person seemed to have spent a lot of money on another game.

Moreover, he had specifically spent money to buy quite a few characters for himself.

"Like a die-hard fan of a certain game?"

After Silver Wolf thought about it, she immediately rejected this possibility. "No, putting it this way, it actually looks more like a hater or a paid troll hired by a certain game, right?"

"No, if things go on like this, the game definitely won't develop well after being slandered by him like this," Silver Wolf thought to herself, secretly saying.

She had played quite a few games on the market, so naturally, she knew how intense the competition between game manufacturers was.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party's methods were too obvious, she probably wouldn't have been able to tell either.

In order to slander the other party, game manufacturers would stop at nothing. As for the persecuted game, it would be fine if it were backed by a large company, but if it were a game produced by a small studio, then it would be hard to say.

"Such a good game like Honkai: Star Rail—if it really gets ruined by them, where will I go to play later?" Silver Wolf couldn't help but think.

Although she wasn't short on money, she hadn't pulled many of those characters before.

Aside from the character models of herself and Kafka, they were just a few of her favorite game characters.

The purpose of pulling these characters was also very simple; it was mainly for their game strength.

By the time the game's story updated to Belobog, she liked it even more. Whether it was the game content or the music during the later decisive battle, it all made her linger and forget to return.

Such a good game—if it stopped production because it was slandered, she would cry to death.

"Alright, then let me see what exactly you want to do, person." Silver Wolf snorted coldly, but within a moment's effort, she had already decided to put what she had found onto the internet.

She looked carefully at this person's background again, as well as some comments on other games, and finally couldn't help but think, "This guy has spent so much money on other games; how does he have the face to say such things?"

No need to think too much; he must have been hired by other game manufacturers specifically to slander Honkai: Star Rail.

Consequently, she decisively threw all the content she had just investigated under the trending topic.

"Alright, then next, let me see what he's going to do!" Silver Wolf couldn't help but think.

The trending list was in an uproar, when suddenly, a real-time comment surged up.

"How does the person who said this have the nerve?" A comment was posted along with 9 images.

Then, everyone saw this comment charge to the top of the trending topic list with terrifying speed.

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!"

"It's a big shot! Did a big shot specifically dig that guy out?"

"I just said this content creator felt a bit off; his video's popularity surged too fast."

"Exactly, I thought it was because the game was too popular before, but now it seems that's not the case."

"Wait, did you guys see the comments in his pictures?"

Many people couldn't help but finish reading the comments before coming to flip through the comments on this comment.

As a result, they discovered that many people had come over to leave messages without even seeing clearly.

However, very quickly, those among them who had seen clearly came out to mock.

"How on earth does he have the nerve to say such things?"

"This guy spent so much money on other games, and he even had the gall to say, 'It's just a few tens of thousands of Credits, it was worth it!'"

"And now you come and tell me you just wanted a game that doesn't require spending money?"

"Yeah, no need to look; this guy can basically be confirmed as a hater bought by other game manufacturers."

"Indeed, I hadn't even clicked on this big shot's pictures, and I could already determine what the comments were."

"I have to say, sometimes being a content creator still requires a bit of face." Comments quickly gathered under this comment.

"You're right, I just realized this person's skin is truly thick!" Someone left a comment.

"Yeah, yeah, he spent tens of thousands on other games, and he actually came to mock."

"The most ridiculous thing is that I've actually played that game, and I'm a player who quit that game."

"Indeed, there's almost no nutritional value in that game, right? Aside from PvP, it's just PvP."

"No way, people take PvP games as good games; he can only play this kind of stuff."

Quite a few game players felt that this remark was simply too outrageous after seeing it.

But more people just silently liked it and left.

Interastral Peace Corporation!

In one of the company's subsidiaries, the person who had expressed those views earlier didn't yet know that his remarks had already been reversed.

"I said it early on, this kind of pay-to-win game doesn't count as a good game at all. You guys just haven't played anything good, which is why you'd praise this kind of game."

"Haha, anyone who's unhappy can come over and debate me!"

"I just said you people haven't eaten anything good, right?"

"I have to say, the players of a certain game are truly stubborn; they actually ran to my livestream to cause trouble?"

This streamer continued to mock the players while speaking. He didn't look like he had any intention of restraining himself, nor did he move away to see how big of a reversal he had caused on the trending list.

And that previous comment from Silver Wolf had already received tens of thousands of retweets.

Not long after, a new trending topic hung under this trending topic.

Being a streamer requires having a thick skin.

Inside this trending topic, the pictures Silver Wolf posted were retweeted countless times and then put on top.

Consequently, everyone left their own messages below, expressing that they were truly very incredulous about this phenomenon.

"This kind of person is actually still in the livestream room brazenly mocking other players."

"Full of condescension, it's truly unbearable!"

"Has he not discovered that he has already been hung on another trending topic?"

"The guy is busy debating other Honkai: Star Rail players; where would he have the mood to come over and look at the trending list?"

Players mocked this one after another, and then someone followed up by leaving a comment asking.

"Who's going to tell that idiot that his remarks have already been reversed?" ===== CHAPTER 99 =====
