Chapter 95 Public Opinion Reversals Again

The amazing phenomenon on the internet not only amazed netizens, but also seemed very strange to those in the "playing world".

"What's with your apology over there?!"

"Why did you apologize to the people in red without our consent?"

"Don't you want the remaining payment?"

Looking at the barrage of unfriendly questions in the message box, the head of the online trolls felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

They're not out of their minds; who wouldn't want to make money if they could?

The problem is that whenever they post negative comments about red shirts online, they hear the terrifying sound of the pointer cutting through the air, and then they reappear in that horrifying classroom.

—Apart from the absence of one teacher in a red shirt, most of the experience was exactly the same as the initial "nightmare".

After being pulled into that classroom for the first time, the troll leader was also very scared, but after he found that he eventually returned to reality and that the injuries he had sustained in the classroom had completely disappeared, the troll leader became bolder.

Although that experience was really terrifying, we still have to make money, right?

So he didn't take his previous experience to heart, treating it as just a terrible nightmare.

But when he resumed his work in the black and red uniform, he once again heard the harsh rebukes of "filthy language" and the sound of the pointer cutting through the air—he was back in the classroom exactly the same as before.

At first, the head of the online trolls was quite happy:

Without that troublemaker in red causing trouble, class was fine as it was, they could just treat it as a form of hypnosis... Anyway, they had already discovered the pattern of the class. Although this Teacher Dai seemed fierce and didn't hold back, as long as they didn't break his rules, he would never lay a hand on them, the "students." Class was just like taking a nap, right?

Then, they paid a heavy price in blood and tears—

They never expected that the difficulty of the class would gradually increase!

In other words, even if no one was caught sleeping by Teacher Dai, Teacher Dai would still actively start picking people to answer questions.

If the answer is not given, the difficulty of the punishment increases exponentially: if the difficulty of the first punishment is 1, then the second time it is 2, the third time it is 4, and so on.

As a result, the online trolls who were later dragged into the classroom had to stay on edge the whole time.

I'm even more tired than the first time, let alone resting.

Before long, the morale of these online trolls quickly crumbled.

Enduring 45 minutes of torture to post a comment is hardly a worthwhile investment.

So, in order to avoid being dragged into the classroom again, the online troll leader and his men really didn't dare to post any more negative comments about the woman in red.

After they stopped the black-and-red-clad group, they were never dragged back into that terrifying classroom.

But how are they going to explain this to their boss?!

The head of the online trolls had no doubt that if he simply recounted their experiences, the people on the other side of the "playing world" would either think he was crazy or that he was making up stories and making excuses. Even if he asked other online trolls to corroborate his story, they wouldn't believe him.

He could only put it more tactfully, implying that it wasn't that they didn't want to complete the mission, but that they simply lacked the ability to do so.

But "Playworld" clearly didn't believe it at all: "Don't forget you've already received our deposit!"

"Do you even want to stay in this industry?!"

Seeing the terrible attitude from "Playworld," the head of the online trolls became defiant: "If you don't believe me, try contacting other online troll studios and see if they dare take this job!"

If we don't see eye to eye, even half a sentence is too much!

The employee of Wanjie, who was in charge of contacting the head of the online army, was immediately angered. He angrily put down his personal terminal and ran to Xu Zhang's office to complain.

Incidentally, this also helps to deflect blame for the failed attempt to smear the red-clad online trolls.

He pretended to be angry and aggrieved, and showed Xu Zhang the chat history in his hand.

Xu Zhang glanced at the chat history, then at the calendar, and thought for a moment: "Never mind..."

"If they don't want to accept it, they don't want to accept it..." At least the final payment is still in their hands and they haven't been paid yet, so the loss isn't too great.

Although the head of the online trolls inexplicably went to apologize to the red-clothed side, strictly speaking, he did not violate the contract—after all, who would have thought that someone would suddenly go and apologize to the person he was attacking halfway through the process of drafting the contract?

The only clause in the contract prohibiting the disclosure of Party A's information is that the online trolls apologized for betraying them, but they did not reveal their identities in accordance with the contract, so they cannot claim compensation for breach of contract.

So this matter... can only be left unresolved.

Fortunately, the head of the online trolls did a lot of work when they first received the deposits—whether it was "Reunion," "Red Clothes," or "New World," they have now dragged down the online public opinion and reputation, and there is a lot of criticism online.

Even though everyone knows that many of the previous comments were deliberately muddied by online trolls, the fact that these trolls are now being asked to apologize has shifted the focus of netizens' attention back to whether there was any abuse of power, and no one seems to care about the unfair treatment of "Reunion" and the person in red.

Although they ultimately failed to capitalize on this wave of public opinion to shut down the game "Reunion" featuring the red-clad characters, they still achieved their goal.

Xu Zhang put down the proposal in his hand and turned to his subordinate: "The red-clothed side has missed the best opportunity for explanation and public relations. There's probably no way to turn the tide in terms of public opinion."

"After that, they probably won't be able to compete with us in games or tournaments anymore."

"So, we can start building hype for our awards ceremony on the final day of the competition, and divert all the attention we've stolen from the red-clad group to our side—what's with that look on your face?"

Xu Zhang looked at his subordinate with displeasure. "What have you been trying to do, giving me that hesitant look all this time?"

"Just say what you're doing! What kind of behavior is this, beating around the bush like this!"

The subordinate, who had been sternly reprimanded, cautiously glanced at Xu Zhang's expression before speaking in a low voice, "It's like this, Mr. Xu."

"Online, over there online..."

Seeing his subordinate's hesitant and troubled expression, Xu Zhang suddenly had a bad feeling.

He only ever saw this expression on his face when his subordinates talked about red clothes and the new world.

Could it be that the red-clothed side has pulled something again?

Xu Zhang couldn't help but curse his bad luck in his heart.

I don't know if the woman in red is specifically their nemesis, but every time they try to do something, things just go completely wrong whenever they encounter her!

"Has something strange happened on the red-clothed side again?"

The subordinate visibly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded firmly: "That's right, Mr. Xu."

"Those negative comments about the woman in red online before..."

He brought up his personal computer interface and showed it to Xu Zhang, saying cautiously, "It's...it's completely reversed now."

"What?!"
