"What? Is it Noel?"
"The blond shota is so strong and cute, I like him so much..."
"Let me see, his daily routine seems to be to share his crows. What happened to crows today..."
"Husband! My husband! I'm coming -"
The word "Noel" was like a trap for girls. As soon as they heard his name, the originally crowded team instantly fell silent.
Ryoko was speechless.
...You just kept calling me "Lu Shu's husband", you guys are really fickle!
She didn't have any ideas, she just took the time to clean up the messy desktop.
A girl screamed loudly.
"Ah! Noel and Edward were quarreling... They were laughing."
"Really, so cute...although I also like Edward quite a bit."
"The one who said he likes Edward, please keep your voice down. This is the Dragon Kingdom area. If you support Edward, you will be beaten. No one will talk about you in the western area."
"Hurry up front. If you don't want to take pictures, go to another place to read the forum. Don't hang around here!"
Someone's urging came from behind.
Liangzi raised his eyes to receive the next customer, and the people who had finished taking pictures slowly exited.
She received customers one after another and listened to their comments.
"... Damn it, the commotion was a bit big this time. Has everyone been dismissed this time?"
"It seems that just after the sixth world, the great gods are very agitated. These netizens who only know each other all day long have stirred up a powder keg. This formation is the largest I have ever seen since the beginning of the game... …”
"When the Human Self-Rescue Conference was held, the forum was not so lively."
"No, at this time, why didn't Brother Lu Shu show up? Shouldn't he be the first to arrive?"
"I don't know. Hey, clerk sister, do you know?"
A girl's face came up again.
Liangzi tugged at her lips:
"I told you, I don't know Lu Shu..."
The girl looked unbelieving, but seeing that she remained silent, she could only shrink her head in disappointment.
"Yamada also spoke. I remember that he is not familiar with Su Ming'an..."
"Hey, at times like this, everyone wants to be popular. It's just like Weibo in the past. When there's any big event, birthday celebration, or the launch of a big event, it's your fault if you don't speak up, even if you're pretending. , and at least send out one thing.”
"Lin Jiangda has also spoken. Is she okay... I heard that she hasn't spoken much since her strength was wiped out..."
Liangzi listened to the discussion of this group of people and wiped the rag in her hand, feeling a little curious.
Even though she was so busy, she still had one hand free to open the World Forum, intending to see how far this "worldwide war of words" as people called it would go.
Once she opened it, she saw rows of scenes of Noel "fighting" with players who scolded Su Mingan.
She saw a bunch of mutual trolling posts at a glance... Some were scolding Noel for being weird, some were scolding the two of them for working together, some were scolding humanity as having a hopeless future, and some were scolding them for being hypocritical.
[Hey, the guardian dog jumped out. I said how did Noel get to this point without any background behind him? It turned out that he was also a dog. I burst out laughing. 】
[Don’t worry, protector, these two are so open for all to see. 】
[I asked why the current world situation is so strange. Why are two children standing at the top? 】
[Don’t belittle someone who is high and praise someone who is low. Edward is not a good guy either. All the players at the top of the list are mentally ill. 】
[I have long seen it through. The future of mankind is hopeless. If the world is completely circled, do you really worship you, the number one player, as a god? 】
[Stop the quarrel, stop the quarrel... I feel really sick looking at you. How can people be so disgusted...]
[Laughing to death, the chaos of the contemporary Internet is the same everywhere. 】
All of a sudden, all kinds of dirty words came out one after another.
The quarrel started again.
Liangzi has seen this situation often.
She read around the posts. At this time, people were scolding each other, and the scene was chaotic.
But before she could take a closer look, a series of "ding dong ding dong" sounds startled her.
She took a look and found that many big guys she followed were posting at the same time.
She saw the name of the biggest boss at a glance.
...Wilson?
She looked at the name of the poster and was stunned for a moment.
Isn't this a super boss of the United Group?
Could it be that the United Group also wants to add fuel to this situation, preparing to use public opinion to crush the number one player...?
She looked down.
[Wilson V (Head of the Joint Regiment): Long before the human self-rescue organization was formally established, there was one person who stood up first and became the target of countless people's efforts. 】
As soon as she read the beginning, Ryoko felt something was wrong.
This doesn't seem like he wants to scold Su Ming'an.
She continued to read.
[At the opening ceremony, his words were inspiring, and the views of fellow travelers have become a major principle pursued by the United Group today.
In the subsequent world, he has always stood at the forefront of mankind. Along the way, some of his theories have become a standard recognized by people today.
His foresight and leadership are indelible. History has passed, and he was the leader in the most chaotic period of mankind in the past.
He is the biggest contributor to the points progress bar of all mankind, the pillar of the peak strength level, the climber on the ladder of truth, the fire bearer in the darkest era, and the guide for the future of mankind.
No matter what the future path of mankind is, the contribution he has made cannot be ignored.
A comfortable life will gradually make us lose our fighting spirit and turn our attacks inward. People who have been immersed in peace for a long time regard themselves as witnesses of history, but their responsibilities and obligations have never gone hand in hand.
This era needs heroes. And heroes should never be slandered by public opinion. 】
…
"Wilson...?" Liangzi couldn't help but exclaimed.
This, this, this is a world-class boss!
Why is he even posting to speak for Su Ming'an...
She continued to read, only to find that this was just the beginning.
…
[Liu Jiahe v (Dragon Kingdom Ten Thousand Miles Troops): The mountains and rivers are in a foreign land, but the wind and moon are in the same sky. We are fellow travelers, so why should we talk to each other? 】
…
[Hubert v (Joint Group certified gold level strategy player): We are extremely rich materially, but our spirit is extremely hungry. When disaster strikes, there are always people who step forward. And behind them, there are always people making meaningless slanders. 】
…
[Marjorie v (Yu Guo Storm Branch Countermeasure System): There is no strict boundary between ordinary and great, but in this quarrel, I gradually saw the difference between them. 】
…
[Tonak v (Eagle Country Countermeasure System): The picture of the superhero turning the tide is indeed fascinating. But if you magnify individual differences and speculate on others with the worst possible intentions, then you are no different from the creatures in the sewer. We should become travelers in life, pilgrims with missions and clear goals, rather than villains spreading suspicion online.
…
[Cole v (Glan Victoria Branch): The sun and stars list the sky. All of them are radiant, and none of them can be obscured. 】
…
A series of posts sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, pushing the popularity that had already swept the world to a higher level.
Liangzi's eyes flashed and she was almost speechless.
Wilson, Liu Jiahe, Tang Nak... these people, even in the previous world, could be regarded as world-famous big shots.
But now, these people appear together, speak out together, and their attitudes and words are extremely unified...
...It's all just for one person.
She couldn't help but stop what she was doing.
"Oh my god..."
"This, what's going on, how could it be..."
In front of the counter, the people who were waiting for the World Forum couldn't stop hearing their exclamations when they opened the World Forum.
"Huh..." The old man, who was leaning on the recliner, suddenly blew out a puff of smoke, his voice a bit hoarse as if he had smoked.
"really……"
He took a deep breath from the cigarette, his bark-like face full of despair.
It was like turning on some switch. As soon as he said these words, someone immediately shouted.
"What, what's happening?" someone exclaimed.
"Why are so many big guys speaking out this time... How do I feel, I seem to have seen the birth of a historic moment..."
"[I'm a fellow traveler, why bother talking to each other...]" The girl with twin tails suddenly sighed: "Minister Liu is right... In a world like this, those guys are still full of hatred for the frontline players. Suspicion…”
"No, I quite like Brother Lu Shu."
"...Who knows who started to spray randomly, and I don't know what the situation is. The weight is so great. If I spray again, I won't be able to find it even if I spray on my own grave."
"It's harmful. There are always people who think they have seen through everything. Internet surfing is the norm, which confuses people on the forum. Their quality needs to be improved."
Listening to their words, Ryoko stared at the panel in front of her.
…
[Cole v (Glan Victoria Branch): The sun and stars list the sky. All of them are radiant, and none of them can be obscured. 】
…
"The sun and stars line the sky..." she murmured softly.
She was born in ancient martial arts, so she was certainly not an ordinary girl. She just needed to complete the necessary compulsory education. But in fact, her vision and courage are higher than those of students who follow the steps.
But when she suddenly fell into such a world, her first reaction was still to seek help from her elders, or to get closer to a large organization, integrate into the flow of people, and overcome difficulties with her companions.
Even if they are not fully integrated into the group, people will subconsciously follow the trend, act according to the movements of others, and follow the call of players on the forum.
This is the normal thought of an ordinary child who has just emerged from chaos.
When the United League and other organizations were first established, they, a group of drifting people, seemed to have found a beacon, and suddenly felt at home. After seeing many familiar faces in the live broadcast room and listening to their speeches, they no longer felt confused.
Ryoko is also one of them.
After she found her father and felt like home, she decided not to end up in trouble and follow the forum's trends.
Whenever she saw the live broadcast of a certain incident in the United League and saw many outstanding talents giving speeches, she felt honored.
…Behold, even in a world like this, we are still united and united, and we are all still sailing on the same course.
She had been thinking so proudly.
However, at the end of the fourth world, when she saw that person who was independent from the group and saw that he was far above the other eleven peak players, she felt confused for the first time.
At the Human Self-Rescue Conference, that person sang a passionate song "Destiny" and gave a glorious speech in front of a billion people. The figure bathed in the room light really shocked her who was still lying on the bed at home at the time.
...Obviously they are the same age.
...Obviously they have similar past experiences.
That man was praised by people at the time as a "born guide in the dark night." He seemed to have escaped from that class out of thin air, leaving a gap behind and reached a height that she had never imagined with his own body.
The height of being watched by the whole world.
It was really hard for her to understand how a person could suddenly reach such a high level in such a world.
Obviously there is no existence behind him, and his previous experiences were so ordinary.
Why is his route always correct?
Why is his theory so far-reaching?
What makes him personally...unable to fail?
It's hard to understand, so it's hard to trust, and it's hard to trust, so Ryoko finds it unacceptable.
Therefore, she believes that it is normal for this person to be isolated by many groups, doubted and slandered by so many people. The evidence of the fact is that the United Group, which she believed to be the most correct and acted the most legitimate way, did not speak for him because of this? Since even the United Group doesn't defend him or praise him, then as an individual under the United Group, she has no reason to believe that he can win in the end.
This is what she had been thinking.
but now.
but now……
The group she trusts and understands the most, the organization she puts all her faith in... the United Group.
No, not just the United Regiment.
Even including those organizations that she had heard of before and were now very majestic.
The Ancient Martial Family Alliance, the Glen Victoria Branch, the Yuguo Storm Branch, the Alliance Watch Group, the Dragon Kingdom Ten Thousand Miles Troops, the Dragon Kingdom Yangtze River System, the Eagle Kingdom Countermeasure System...
They stood up together.
Speak for him.
Build momentum for him.
Shield him from all public opinion storms.
At such a moment, in such a sharp contradiction, in such a world, speak out and believe him.
It was as if a pair of invisible hands had firmly grasped the lifeblood of public opinion, completely overturning the entire era where distrust was prevalent.
Hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions, billions, billions.
The stream flows eastward into the sea, and Kunpeng rises from the ground.
The soaring popularity and endless people are all related to this forum at this time.
The public opinion of the entire world, the forum of a billion souls, the trend of all players’ opinions,
Concentrate your strength, grasp the trend, reverse public opinion, unify your attitude, and grasp the discourse.
One person is the world.
Ryoko had a hard time describing how she felt at this moment.
It was as if all the spotlights in the world were turning at the same time, and countless shining stars dimmed in an instant.
Like the invisible hand that turned the tide, it held her heart tightly.
She remembered that when she went to the forum before, she also said similar words to slander the first player.
Because everyone is talking and no one is stopping her, of course she can talk with everyone.
Even if someone does jump out to stop it, they can just label it as a "watchdog" or "family dog", and then a hearty and fruitless scolding war will ensue.
but now.
She stared at the new confluence posts that were refreshed in front of her, looking at the impassioned words, and felt suffocated for a moment.
"Why, why did it reach this point? He is just a student like me. Why should he..." She murmured to herself.
"Ryoko..."
On the recliner, the old man, wearing a big cattail leaf fan, suddenly spoke lazily, as if to answer her:
"[...If the sky is dark, then survive in the dark.]"
Ryoko slowly turned back.
The old man's words are still weathered, and his old bark-like face is covered by a cattail leaf fan, but from his twitching lips, words that seem to have been locked for years still come out:
"[...If it is dangerous to make a sound, then remain silent; if you feel that you are unable to shine, then crouch in the corner...]"
"Ding dong!"
Liangzi heard a system prompt.
That was a reminder set by her (exclusive special concern) and belonged to only one person.
Since the game started, this sound has only sounded twice.
When the special care reminder sounded, all the guests bowed their heads in unison, as if they had been trained to do so.
They made such an action just at the same time to open the forum interface.
But this scene, reflected in Liangzi's eyes, made her see a change of the times.
Ryoko felt her breathing quicken.
She lowered her head and blended into the crowd naturally like everyone else.
In my ears, the old man's words were still whispering slowly, like a stream barely flowing in a dry river:
“But don’t defend darkness just because you’re used to it; don’t be proud of your own complacency;
Don’t ridicule those who are braver and more passionate than yourself..."
When opening the interface, Ryoko saw her trembling fingers.
...and a very brief line of words reflected in her eyes.
…

Thou shalt not be twisted like a maggot. ”]
