Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Imperial West, Maginot Line (The previous 2 Chapters have been revised)

As for the trending topic, Zhao Ming wasn’t aware of it.

It wasn’t until he got up the next day.

That he found many missed calls on his phone, from Shen Qinghan and others from his employees, making Zhao Ming’s heart skip a beat.

What the hell?

Is there a problem with the game?

[Emotion Value +5842]

[Emotion Value +3842]

[Emotion Value +3752]

But the continuous system alerts of emotion values didn’t seem to be the case.

What happened last night?

He barely managed to sleep in the second half of the night, what could have happened in just a few hours?

Zhao Ming hurriedly got up and put on his clothes, while dialing Shen Qinghan’s number.

The call was answered immediately, and Shen Qinghan’s voice came through:

"Finally awake, huh."

Zhao Ming quickly put on his jacket and asked:

"What’s going on?"

"Why so many calls?"

"Is there a problem with the game?"

Shen Qinghan replied:

"The game is fine and has even become popular, but not as popular as you."

"Now the Federation Headline’s trending list is all about you, everyone’s concerned about your health."

"They want to know how you managed to sleep through it all."

Zhao Ming listened, confused:

"What the hell?"

"Why are they concerned about me?"

Shen Qinghan said:

"Check the headlines."

Zhao Ming was already dressed, he opened the door, went straight to his office, sat in his chair, and opened the Federation Headline.

As he scanned through, Zhao Ming understood:

"Oh, it’s about the plot... there’s actually more heart-wrenching stuff that hasn’t even surfaced yet."

"But since I don’t leave the house anyway, it’s not a big deal."

Shen Qinghan laughed over the phone:

"You take it easy."

"But the reaction to this plot, and the anti-war advocacy is really good."

"The game’s popularity is skyrocketing."

"The official account of ’Anti-War Competition’ also liked that plot video."

"You should also repost it, like it, and promote it."

Zhao Ming replied:

"Alright, I got it."

The main purpose of Shen Qinghan’s call was for Zhao Ming to seize the momentum and promote it, after discussing specifics, they ended the call.

Zhao Ming browsed through the comments on various trending topics, with a range of reactions.

Some emotional ones were begging Zhao Ming to resurrect NPCs, some uninterested found the plot boring, and many were downloading the game because of this plot.

Zhao Ming found that plot video and directly clicked to repost it.

#Didn’t expect players to encounter the hidden plot so soon, everyone can communicate more about NPCs, each NPC might have hidden plots~~~#

As soon as the message was reposted,

Netizens who noticed Zhao Ming’s account became active all rushed in.

[Holy shit, you’re just getting up at this time?]

[It’s almost ten o’clock already? How could you really sleep through it?!]

[Damn it, watching that plot kept me up all night, and you slept till ten in the morning!]

[Hello, I’m a loyal player who has loved Polestar Games for thirty years, where is your company located? I want to mail some local specialties to your boss.]

[Exactly, I’m also a loyal player, where is boss Zhao Ming, can I take a photo with him?]

[I just have one question, can the Alexander brothers be resurrected?]

[Please resurrect those two NPCs, netizens would do anything!]

Watching the enthusiastic netizens, Zhao Ming carefully replied to a few comments.

To the fan who claimed to have loved the Polestar Company for thirty years, despite the company only being established for a year:

[Polestar Game Zhao Ming: No.]

To the fan who idolized him and wanted a photo:

[Polestar Game Zhao Ming: No.]

To the insistent netizen asking if NPCs could be resurrected:

[Polestar Game Zhao Ming: No.]

As soon as he replied, a lot of question marks from netizens popped up.

Then came a slew of unspeakable profanity, Zhao Ming shook his head:

"This batch of netizens, their civility needs improvement."

The netizens’ reactions were proof enough that the game was very successful.

The more people curse, the more popular it is.

Zhao Ming stood up and walked out of the office, he needed to see how ’Cyber Blue Star: 2077’ had plagiarized...uh, accomplished things, even the smallest contribution counts, fortunes always take turns~

On the other side.

In Celestial Shark Live, the game’s popularity was still rising.

Mo Xiaomo also got up early to stream the game.

At this moment, Mo Xiaomo was controlling the NPC character she played, advancing with the Imperial troops into Norway.

As a soldier in the Imperial Camp, although from the Kingdom of Italy, just following the Imperial troops as a communications soldier, the speed of the Imperial advance.

Still left Mo Xiaomo and the live broadcast viewers in awe.

Of course.

It also restored Mo Xiaomo’s confidence:

"Brothers, this is hilarious."

"I was wondering how a country could be wiped out in four hours."

"It turns out the Imperial troops just fought through, and in less than four hours the Danish Federation surrendered."

"The Danish Federation’s level is worse than mine."

"At least I held out for 14 days under the Imperial attack."

Mo Xiaomo’s confident statement prompted her viewers to comment:

[Really think of yourself as a war god?]

[I can’t stop laughing, you didn’t even consider how small Denmark is, not surrendering would mean complete destruction.]

[Your federation, almost the size of the Empire itself, only held out for 14 days and you still brag about it. ]

[The Norway you’re fighting with the Imperial troops now is smaller than your Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and they’ve held out for over thirty days, and you’re still proud.]

[Why aren’t you triggering the plot, host?]

[But you need a chance to die, can’t just commit suicide, hahahaha.]

[At least you’ve clung to the Empire’s thigh.]

Mo Xiaomo looked at the live chat comments and replied:

"Indeed, can’t just commit suicide."

"I also watched that plot, I must say, it’s really distressing."

"This is also the core idea of this game, opposing war."

"War only brings pain to mothers, to families."

"But I haven’t triggered anything yet, mainly because following the unbeatable Imperial troops, and being a communications soldier, I don’t even have a chance to die in battle."

Mo Xiaomo was also helpless, as an Italian Kingdom soldier sent out, still as a communications soldier.

Never needed for frontal assault, not to mention the enemy surrendered before even fighting.

In the game received a message in the early morning about attacking Denmark, she knows it too well, after all, her Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was attacked like this by the Empire in the early morning.

After following the troops out, just finished breakfast, by eight o’clock in the morning.

Denmark surrendered....

Even worse than hers?!

Then followed the Imperial troops, attacking the Norwegian Federation, the Norwegian Federation put up quite a resistance, but has been half-conquered this time, just like her.

What does this show?

This shows it’s not her weakness!

It’s the Empire being too strong, who could possibly win against this.

"Brothers, another boring day."

Mo Xiaomo sighed, the communications soldier job was pretty leisurely, but couldn’t trigger any hidden plot.

A little torment would have been nice.

However.

Just as she said that,

A military officer walked into the communication room:

"Everyone, pack up your things."

"Follow the troops and stand by at the Empire’s western border!"

Mo Xiaomo’s eyes lit up.

The western border?

Isn’t that the French Federation?
