As soon as the message was sent, Emotion Value prompts kept flashing.

Meanwhile, comments under the account were continuously refreshing.

[Blitzkrieg? I’m launching a full-scale attack!]

[I always feel this old thief is up to no good, look at that tilde, it reeks of treachery!]

[Anticipate? Anticipate your ***!]

[You’re so naive, ridiculously naive!]

[Do you have any idea how difficult this game is?]

[If you have the guts, try beating it yourself!]

Tsk, why are they all haters?

Zhao Ming looked at the account and shook his head, these Blue Star players need to improve their manners~

Then Zhao Ming entered the Polestar Official Website for the "Anti-War Competition".

The prompts offered options like [Movie][Game][Novel][Short Drama]and so on.

After choosing the game, the link redirected him.

He was greeted by six sections on the screen.

Each section represented a Federation and listed the rankings of the current entries.

Among them, the Great Xia Federation’s "World War II: Empire’s Rise" was already at the top.

It left other games far behind, even the popularity number next to it was bright red.

As for "Ruins of the Future: 2100," although it had some popularity, it was about to drop out of the top ten rankings.

Zhao Ming estimated that once he copied the content of "Ruins of the Future: 2100", made some changes, and released it on Cyber Blue Star, "Ruins of the Future: 2100" would be done for.

You spend money to make it, and I’ll just click away.

We pride ourselves on being a conscientious developer.

On the other side

Celestial Shark Live, Game Zone.

Due to the overwhelming popularity of "World War II: Empire’s Rise".

Plus Mo Xiaomo triggering a hidden storyline.

The live stream viewership, which usually had tens of thousands online, soared to nearly twenty million, even though a large part of this was from external links on the Polestar Official Website, but the traffic was still solid.

At this time.

No matter what game type section you enter.

Most of the streams were all about "World War II: Empire’s Rise".

Everyone wanted to become the next Mo Xiaomo and get a huge boost in popularity.

These streamers chose all kinds of factions.

All of a sudden, a lot of storyline clips appeared, and they rode the wave of popularity.

However, none of them became as explosively popular as Mo Xiaomo.

In Fang Ming’s and Yu Feng’s streams.

They were also streaming the immersive experience of "World War II: Empire’s Rise".

The streamers’ teams had already disbanded.

They had no choice.

After all, they weren’t professionals. Although they wanted to climb the leaderboards, the immersive storyline’s popularity was just too high.

Plus....

[Current Leaderboard - [Normandy Landing: Omaha Beach]]

[First Place Team: Great Xia Federation Northern Army, Third Group Army, Seventh Special Operations Brigade, Time: 1 hour 11 minutes.]

[Second Place Team: Great Xia Federation Southern Army, Fifth Group Army, First Heavy Brigade, Time: 1 hour 14 minutes.]

[Third Place Team: Great Xia Federation Eastern Army, First Group Army, Second Infantry Division, Special Operations Third Regiment, Time: 1 hour 17 minutes.]

[....]

[....]

[Fiftieth Place Team: Antarctic Star Federation, C Group Army, Armored Seventh Division, Time: 1 hour 47 minutes.]

This was what made Yu Feng, Fang Ming, and others despair.

md....

The leaderboard has turned into a military district competition.

They’re forming teams!

Is there no one to regulate this?!

It’s not just the Great Xia Federation.

Other federations’ troops also started appearing in the Normandy Landing speedrun rankings.

They’re just a bunch of game streamers, even if they organize a group of dozens.

They can’t compete with the military discipline.

Plus.

The immersive storyline’s popularity was climbing.

Fine.

If you can’t beat them, don’t fight.

I’ll just go play the immersive storyline, alright?

The whole group disbanded and ran off to play the immersive storyline.

What if they accidentally triggered a hidden storyline and exploded in popularity?

Even if no hidden storyline was triggered, some of the ordinary storylines during this period were touching, tragic, and had significant views. This wave of popularity must be grasped firmly.

Hidden storylines aren’t easy to trigger.

Because once you choose an identity, regardless of how you die, it’s randomly assigned, and there’s no hidden storyline hint.

The only way to trigger it is by luck.

Like how Mo Xiaomo randomly got the role of a signalman and ended up being reassigned all the way to Guderian’s armored army. Players who had tried the immersive storyline mode could only say..... what kind of damn luck is this?

They didn’t want to die either, they wanted to trigger hidden storylines too.

But on the battlefield, you really can’t control it.

Even hiding in a trench, you might get hit by artillery and die on the spot.

It’s just absurd.

And while countless streamers were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Celestial Shark Live, Game Zone.

A new stream quietly appeared.

[Don’t look at Blitzkrieg anymore, I’m about to get bombed to death at Dunkirk!]

This troll’s stream name quickly attracted a large audience.

As soon as they entered the stream.

They saw a first-person view crouching and looking around, leaving the new viewers puzzled.

[What? Dude, what are you doing?]

[Everyone else is lining up, why are you crouching?]

[Wow, finally a [Blitzkrieg] victim’s perspective!]

[Hahaha, you’ll understand why the streamer is doing this in a moment.]

[Exactly, this is a completely different vibe from the Imperial perspective.]

In the game.

Bai Xiang, wearing British Commonwealth military attire, was looking around and greeting the flood of incoming viewers:

"Hello everyone, I’m Bai Xiang, a streamer trying to survive at Dunkirk."

"Right now I’m...."

Just as he was speaking, the roar of bombers suddenly filled his ears.

Bai Xiang’s face changed:

"Oh shit?!"

"These damn Imperials, they really don’t care about anything."

He quickly ran to a wall behind the beach, climbed over it, and crouched down, covering his head.

The fluid motion left the new viewers in awe.

The roar from the sky was getting louder.

Then came the sharp whistling sound of objects falling.

Boom——!

Boom——!

Boom——!

Massive explosions erupted on the beach, dismembered soldiers and fine sand flying into the air.

Bai Xiang, hiding behind the wall, was staggered by the continuous explosions.

He barely managed to hold onto the wall to keep his balance.

The fine sand rained down, covering Bai Xiang head to toe.

Plop——

A severed arm fell from the sky, landing next to Bai Xiang.

The sight didn’t faze Bai Xiang, but it startled the viewers in the stream.

[Oh my god? Where did that arm come from?]

[Wow, the perspective from the Anglo-French coalition is so different; is the Empire this brutal?]

[Obviously, it’s war, what did you expect?]

[Mo Xiaomo has the signalman’s perspective, this is the frontline, how can they be the same?]

[Can 400,000 people really fit on this small beach?]

[You’re missing the main point, dude?]

Bai Xiang shook off the sand from his body and stood up:

"Whether it’s 400,000, I’m not sure."

"But right now, there’s really nowhere to run, both the front and back are blocked, only this port is left."

"The Imperial air raids have never stopped, I can’t even skip the story."

"I’m not sure how the top brass on the Anglo-French Federation side is...."

"Shit!!!"

The roar of bombers filled the sky once again, Bai Xiang looked at the growing black dots above:

"For **m’s sake, it’s not over yet!"

He quickly curled up into a ball, crouched down, clutching his head, I just started getting popular, I can’t die yet?!

And on the beach ahead.

As the bombers’ roar approached, the deafening noise echoed over the beach.

Boom boom boom boom——!
