Chapter 128 Public Opinion Crisis
The emotions of the viewers in the live stream were like an erupting volcano.
If Jiang Feng could still suppress his surging emotions with reason, the audience in front of the screen would have already lost their temper and completely exploded.
19 kills, Zhuxian, 76KD account, the very first game was full of dramatic tension.
The story's legendary quality is enough to amaze everyone and become a celebrated tale.
It's fair to say that this game was just one kill away from achieving legendary status!
But at this crucial moment, the last cheater was kicked out by the system?
The pent-up excitement, regret, and anger collided instantly, turning the live chat into a chaotic mess. Red-eyed curses, defenses of Jiang Feng, and a few dissenting voices created a cacophony of conflict.
[I'll say something the streamers dare not say: I'll curse those cockroaches on the ground!]
If you can't make games, don't make them. Who are you trying to disgust?
[Some of you in the comments have some shame! Before the cheater was kicked, you defended him, saying he wasn't cheating. Now that he's been kicked, you're saying 19 kills isn't impressive. Tian Wenjing!]
[This is ridiculous! Just one question: Did you get 20 kills or not? If not, shut up.]
The facts are clear: if you don't get 20 kills, you don't get them. No amount of arguing will change that!
[Stop arguing, stop arguing! Fengshen, you need to calm down!]
Jiang Feng, at the eye of the storm, sat in front of his computer, saying nothing.
He mechanically licked the bag, but his mind was wandering far away.
Is it regrettable? Of course it is, but to say that I missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is definitely far from it.
Therefore, regret is useless, venting emotions and swearing are also useless, they will only make the situation worse.
He kept in mind that when he was emotionally out of control, he should not make decisions or speak.
Gift effects suddenly filled the screen, with golden carnival effects exploding one after another:
Feng Qingyang sent out 10 Carnivals.
[Feng Qingyang: Enough said, Feng Shen may have lost, but he's still glorious! This defeat was truly thrilling!]
PDD is giving away 10 Carnivals.
[PDD: No matter what, you'll always be the strongest in my heart!]
Anke gave away 10 Carnivals.
Ming Hang gave away 1 Carnival.
The support came from all sides, including old acquaintances and new friends.
The number of viewers in the live stream had already exceeded 10, and gifts were flying everywhere. Even the occasional dissenting voices were drowned out by the overwhelming support and the barrage of comments criticizing the platform.
The 20-kill challenge failed, but the live stream was a huge success, propelling Jiang Feng to over 10 views. Although it was thanks to official traffic, it was only a temporary achievement.
However, it is believed that in the near future, as the number of players in the Beacon Zone increases day by day, the demand for hardcore attacking skills will become greater and greater. Before long, he will definitely be able to regain the 10+ mark, and this time, he will definitely not fall back down.
Looking at the screen full of public opinion, Jiang Feng felt honored, but when he sensed something was amiss, he suddenly became alert.
This puts him in opposition to the authorities!
He knew perfectly well that his current popularity was absolutely inseparable from Anke's connections and the official support she secured. And there was also a fool quietly buying him traffic.
This is what made the 20-kill challenge receive such unprecedented attention.
If this public opinion continues to escalate and becomes a crisis, how will the authorities cope? Wouldn't this be a humiliating blow to their reputation?
If that really happens, things will get complicated!
Moreover, the authorities originally came to support him.
Ultimately, if cheaters are kicked out of the game, is the official team really at fault?
But the cheating was eventually removed, and that was the right thing to do! Justice delayed is justice denied!
The mistake was not kicking them out sooner! If they had been kicked out at the start, there wouldn't be the current public opinion!
Moreover, he will not deny the legitimacy of the official anti-cheat measures just because he is one kill short of completing his 20-kill challenge.
In the face of justice, personal gains and losses are insignificant.
Jiang Feng can still distinguish right from wrong on such major issues!
The situation couldn't be allowed to escalate any further. Jiang Feng took a deep breath, suppressed all his emotions, and typed in the connection request.
He wanted Lian Enke to give the authorities a way out and also to cool down this heated public opinion.
The challenge has only just begun; this is just a warm-up.
Meanwhile, in the live broadcast room, Yi Feng was already overwhelmed by the overwhelming public opinion, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Normally, one could bury their head in the sand or ignore public opinion storms, but this was a live broadcast, with comments right in front of them, a screen full of question marks, military greetings, and insults. He opened his mouth, but after a long time, he could only manage to utter one word:
"this……"
He was powerless to explain; whatever he said would be wrong.
He was invited by An Ke to provide commentary, with the intention of using Jiang Feng's god-like skills to change the game's ecosystem, create a memorable moment for the game, and make the Beacon Zone even more popular.
But now things have backfired, creating such a huge public opinion crisis!
He had made a solemn pledge to his superiors, and he didn't even dare to imagine how gloating his competitors would be when they found out.
Finished!
Yi Feng subconsciously looked at An Ke, his eyes full of pleading for help. But An Ke had no time to care about him at the moment, her gaze fixed on the screen.
The person is sitting in the live broadcast room, but their mind has already flown away.
In a private office in the same building's office area, a man was staring at a live stream screen, his lips curled into an uncontrollable grin of elation, and he even clapped at the screen.
Bai Yu never expected that her competitor would stab her in the back before she could even make a move.
With this public opinion storm, it feels like this live broadcast is coming to an end, and the authorities are going to call a halt!
"I really have to thank this streamer."
"Without his involvement, we would have had to keep busy for quite a while!"
Bai Yu picked up a document from the table, the cover of which clearly read "Beacon Fire Zone Daily Active Users & Daily Revenue Improvement Plan".
The spot right under Yi Feng's buttocks was where he was staring.
He was in charge of Total War, which became an instant hit right after the server launched, and he was riding high on his success.
However, now, more than three months after the server opened, the data comparison between the two modes has left him feeling quite disheartened!
Even though the current overall battlefield still holds a slight advantage for the Flame Zone, anyone who has seen the core internal data knows that Delta is the unstoppable future!
The backend data is crystal clear: 7000 million daily active users in China, 4000 million in the overall battlefield, and 3000 million in the front-line zone.
Behind these figures lies the unstoppable rise of the Beacon Fire Zone, faster than anyone imagined!
Veteran Total War players are drawn to the War Zone.
What is even more thought-provoking is that the purchasing power in the war zone far exceeds that of the entire battlefield.
Just considering the blades alone, the sales of the Beacon Zone were 10 times that of Total War!
Such an exaggerated disparity in numbers, seeing the traffic generated by the entire battlefield under one's responsibility entirely benefiting the neighboring war zone and becoming someone else's blood bag, is something no one could tolerate.
If you can't beat them, join them. The flames of war are great, but the future belongs to me!
Beneath this upgrade plan lies another, even more obscure document—his backup plan.
In his eyes, the commercial value of the beacon fire has not been fully exploited, and the profit pie behind it is much bigger than imagined!
Whitelist... protection... things that cannot be said outright, only understood!
"Yifeng is too idealistic. Making money from games isn't your job."
Bai Yu smiled smugly. Just as he was basking in the glory of this effortless victory and even began to plan his next move.
When Jiang Feng joined the live stream, just one sentence made Yi Feng's pale face regain its color, and made Bai Yu, who was picking up her celadon teacup to drink tea, spit out a mouthful of tea.
