Chapter 89 actually wronged them.
"We found out, it was 'Playworld' that did it."
Inside the First Legion's base, Li Jianglan was presenting an investigation report to Li Xingzhuo.
Li Xingzhuo sat casually in his chair, grunted in response, and nodded. He had actually guessed it from the start; Li Jianglan's investigation had simply confirmed this conclusion.
After all, even the story of a food blogger stopping updates because of "reunion," which was previously circulated as an interesting topic, has been brought up again and used as a reason to condemn "reunion."
Such thorough preparation and such speed are clearly beyond what netizens could achieve.
What's particularly striking is that this time, the netizens' condemnation was "surprisingly unanimous" in focusing solely on the woman in red, who posted a "new world" of "reunion," as if she had disappeared from the scene.
It's obvious they don't want to be enemies with their First Legion, and only dare to pick on the weak.
So this investigation is just a formality to prevent wrongly accusing good people, or rather, good platforms, such as other platforms using the name "Wanjie" to cause trouble for them, making them fight each other while we stand by and watch... and so on.
Fortunately, other platforms didn't act as ruthlessly as Li Xingzhuo, so Li Xingzhuo held a special meeting this time, and even invited Jiang Yi, just to discuss how to retaliate.
Yes, this meeting is not just about solving the current problems on the internet, but more importantly, about how to give the "playing world" a powerful, and ideally heart-wrenching, response.
Before Li Xingzhuo could even clear his throat and begin the meeting, Li Jianglan's personal terminal vibrated. A few seconds later, Li Jianglan's brows furrowed slowly.
"Boss..."
Li Jianglan stared at his personal terminal, his expression somewhat serious: "'Playworld' has made another move..."
"Oh?" Li Xingzhuo switched legs, looking nonchalant. "What did they say this time?"
Even Jiang Yi, who had been sitting in the conference room and treating herself as a red exhibit, only raised her eyelids with little interest.
Li Jianglan: "Some people are stirring up trouble online, saying that 'reunion' poses a safety risk."
Li Xingzhuo let out a long "Oh".
He previously said that the "Play World" only dared to pick on the weak, but that was a mistake – the revelation that the game in red had security risks was just a direct accusation that their First Legion's platform was problematic and unsafe.
However, "Play World" still didn't dare to be as obvious as they were towards Red Clothes, and only dared to muddy the waters by mixing in the topic of denouncing Red Clothes.
"A bunch of cowards..."
Li Xingzhu scoffed, "What safety hazards are they talking about over there?" He was completely oblivious to the fact that Jiang Yi had quietly lowered her eyes.
"It seems so..." Li Jianglan scrolled through the newly appeared comments: "They said that our game has a problem where the 'Exit Game' button is malfunctioning and can't be exited."
Ah... it really is this...
Feeling a little guilty, Jiang Yi quickly glanced at Li Jianglan and Li Xingzhuo. Seeing that neither of them had noticed her, she hurriedly tapped the bell on her wrist: "System..."
She urgently checked with the system: "Back then, did you clean up all the mess...?" For example, the game logs in Xu Zhang's group's game helmets showing attempts to exit the game but failures, or whether the system added back the detection data before they exited the game after secretly turning off the body monitoring module in their game helmets... things like that.
"Of course I've cleaned it all up, host!"
The system, questioned by the crimson-clad figure, felt a slight surge of resentment and aggrieved. "My dimension is higher than that of the beings in this world. The technology of this world cannot detect the tricks I've played."
It can even pull people into new horror games created by the host if the host is willing, without letting anyone discover any flaws or problems—it is invincible in this world, and was only bullied by the poor because it lacked energy before.
Moreover, its new host... was rather lazy and unwilling to become the new main god, so the matter was dropped.
"What about 'Play World' over there..."
Jiang Yi suddenly realized: "Did you fabricate evidence?" Or was it just pure nonsense based on her mouth?
Li Xingzhuo also asked this question: "Has evidence been released over there?"
Li Jianglan scrolled through the latest comments: "...Not yet."
"And there aren't many people on StarNet who believe it now..." After all, "Reunion" has such a large number of downloads. If there really was such a bug, if their platform really had such a hidden danger, it would have been exposed long ago. Why would it have been delayed until now to be exposed all at once?
"I'm afraid they'll keep hiring online trolls to spread rumors..." Li Jianglan said with some concern.
Even if it's fake, it will become a case of "three men make a tiger," subtly labeling other uninformed netizens as "the game in 'New World' is unsafe."
The system, having overheard the conversation, volunteered, "Host, should I investigate?"
After all, this matter involves the dignity of its system!
Jiang Yi thought for a moment and realized that she didn't need to do anything with the system recently, so she agreed without much thought.
The system, having received its command, happily crawled away along the network cable.
Before Jiang Yi could finish tidying her clothes and join Li Xingzhuo and the others' conversation, the system suddenly returned.
"Host!"
The woman in crimson robes exclaimed in surprise, "So fast?!"
"no!"
The system's voice panicked: "Host, quickly find a secluded place!"
"Another grayed-out module has been unlocked!"
