first player

Chapter 420, Chapter 410, "I want to give you a wonderful birthday."

Su Mingan opened a pack of grass candies that Duoya gave him before he left, stuffed it in his mouth, and browsed the latest trends in the World Forum.

The white cat yelled "meow meow" aggrieved on the ground, and he directly stuffed it into the pet pen.

But after a while, the white dumpling jumped out again by itself. It probably knew the danger of touching his bed, so it chose to run to the wooden table next to it and lay down on its stomach.

The room was quiet, only the crisp sound of crushing straw candy.

"..." Su Mingan's fingers slid across the interface.

Judging from the World Forum, the trend of public opinion is much more positive than that just after the end of the Sixth World.

He remembered that at that time, the world forums were almost full of family-seeking posts, posts asking for help, posts of adventurers going crazy, posts of casual players pouring out their fears, and some posts of players mixed with images of self-harm and threats to commit suicide in the square.

At that time, there was an atmosphere of panic and madness. Many people launched panic attacks, and many people blew themselves up in full view.

Looking at it now, there are almost no such extremely negative posts.

At a glance, Su Mingan saw all the celebration posts about "New Year's Eve!", "The human progress bar has increased so much!", "The survival rate of players is so high!", "Yeah!" and other celebration posts.

When browsing the posts, he even saw some strange posts, such as ["The End of the World" Explodes Public Beta], [The mid-length serial series "White City Fantasy" is officially launched, with the growth experience of a boy outside Baicheng as the main line, staged An epic rescue...].

All kinds of small games, serials, movies, novels, and comics emerge in endlessly, and entertainment slowly rises and appears in people's field of vision.

The prospect of the future, the heroic pursuit of the top players, the rational analysis of the Seventh World, the excitement of the end-of-year activities...these topics surrounded the corners of the forum, and looked reassuring.

But Su Mingan knows... the beauty on the surface is the most terrifying beauty.

The organizers like to play some tricks of raising first and then lowering. They have a strong sense of evil, and they will not be happy to see the players so happy.

Su Mingan suddenly saw a particularly conspicuous special category.

The special category needs to be opened by players with points, which is particularly conspicuous on the homepage, and is generally used to hold some large-scale temporary events.

The reason why Su Mingan saw it at a glance was because that post had a photo of himself on it...

[(Hot) (Refined) December 12st - Celebrate the birthday of the number one player who belongs to the world and belongs to us, the pillar of the peak strength layer, the fire transmitter in the darkest age, and the guider of the future of mankind! 】

……

This is an index post.

There are links to posts about various "birthday" activities in the post, and it looks like there are at least a few hundred activities.

Some will gather in teahouses and taverns to celebrate remotely, some will gather at the guild resident to record birthday celebration videos, some will dance and sing all night, some will hold a "Lighthouse Gathering" to share their lighthouse theories all night, and there are hundreds of high-level The "Strategy Group" of professional gamers in life, and even the "No. [-] Player" cos group, are going to hold a group to participate in the "World Game Culture Annual Exhibition"... (that is, the "World Annual Comic Exhibition" in Lin Yinkou) .

This post can almost be said to be the hottest post. It ranks first on the popularity list of the world forum. There are tens of millions of replies. A player worships as a god"...Of course, there are also messages from Nuoer and his like.

[Noel v (Second in the World Ranking): Hey, it's a pity, you guys can celebrate remotely, Su Mingan and I are going to play alone. 】

As soon as he said this, he was still very hateful as always, and tens of thousands of replies were listed below.

The whole world wants to celebrate their own birthday, and Su Mingan was the last person to know about it.

He looked at this post, and there were a lot of comments under the post.

[I've already brought my whole family to gather in a teahouse, planning to celebrate my birthday in a New Year's Eve style. 】

[People are on the street, the businesses here really know how to play, are they taking Su Mingan's birthday as a hot spot?I saw that the streets were full of banners like "To celebrate the first player's birthday, [-]% off sitewide"...it left me speechless. 】

[I don't think other top players' birthday celebrations are as big. Why is it that Su Mingan celebrates birthdays worldwide. 】

[The first player, it should be, it should be.Who made his influence so unbelievable? I am still very surprised. Compared with the second and third players, his number one influence is so big that I can't understand it...]

[Because many people really like him. 】

[Maybe because there is really no background behind him?No one wants to offend him, everyone wants to win him over.The United Mission also seemed to intend to praise him before. At the end of the Sixth World, many people were speaking for him. 】

【Is he really amazing?If anyone can make it to the end, it must be him!After all, anyone can tell that the difficulty of his dungeon is not at the same level as that of others. If he is at t0 level, then Edward and his ilk are at most t2, and there is a long distance in between...]

[I've insulted my love, stop and stop. 】

【Ani cried when she heard this. 】

[Ani?Who?Is it a unit of measurement for combat power? (dog head.jpg)]

[Shh, shhh, this thread is top 1 in the world forum, many top players have moved in, maybe there will be Aini and his like, be careful, be careful...]

【…】

Su Mingan closed the World Forum.

He had some guesses in his mind.

In fact, from the comments in the posts and the overall positive trend of the World Forum, it can be seen that someone has meddled in public opinion.

——This should be the result of the so-called "Hero Project".

Regarding the attitude of the first player, the joint group obviously adopted means to build momentum for him.

They are revealing a conclusion to the majority of players - there will be more and more "heroes" like him in this world.

And as the leader at the beginning, but also the most dazzling and seemingly strongest one, he is also "one" among them.

But at the same time, they didn't intend to make him disappear among the heroes.

Instead, they seemed to take him quite seriously.

The reason for this, of course, is the identity of the "first player", but more, it is his performance in the dungeon and his inherent topicality.

He is a student of Longguo.

He is a representative of "ordinary people". He seems to have no background behind him, but he can go all the way to the present.

Some people will doubt his purpose, but more people will feel empathy and kindness.

Not to mention, his attitude towards NPCs, as well as the lighthouse theory in his mouth, are even more influential and topical, because the public likes to read this set.

——Because the public likes it, they need it, and because they need it, they must pay attention to it.

While controlling the negative public opinion after the Sixth World, the highly topical existence can divert people's attention well and avoid group collapse.

It just so happens that at the end of the year, there are frequent festivals, which arouse people's emotional emotions. It also coincides with the birthday of a topical character, and many people are building momentum for this birthday.

Then add fuel to the fire, and then combine this day with many end-of-year activities, it will kill multiple birds with one stone.

It will have a chain chemical reaction to take people's attention away from sad things and prevent chaos from happening.

Moreover, the first player is also a person who is more inclined to risk-taking players, which also conforms to their value concept of "adventurous players are more useful than casual players".They can take the opportunity to beautify and slightly change the so-called "lighthouse theory", so that this extremely hot topic can guide the actions of other players.

Kill two birds with one stone, kill multiple birds with one stone.

For the overall situation, this is a completely worthwhile move.

When Nuoer's communication came, Su Ming'an analyzed these to him.

"..." Noel listened, his eyes shifted slightly, looking thoughtful.

"Really? Su Ming'an." He said, "This is the result of your thinking after reading that birthday post?"

"Yes." Su Ming'an said, "You should be similar to what I think? I don't dislike it. In this way, the influence of the 'first player' can be enhanced, and it can also suppress the repression of Baisha Tiantang. The atmosphere can also promote the lighthouse theory, and the overall progress bar will also..."

He said a lot, but Noel sighed.

"Stop it," he said.

"Huh?" Su Mingan was taken aback.

"Don't talk about it." Noel smiled: "I don't think they made such a birthday post to make you think about it?"

Su Mingan looked at Noel's face in the screen.

Noel seemed to be still busy at this moment, his hands were moving through the silk thread, as if he was making some small toy.

Golden bangs drooped in front of his forehead, and the pair of butterfly-like eyelashes trembled. He suddenly raised his head, and there was a slight helplessness in his eyes.

"Su Ming'an." He said, "I think, in fact, the original purpose of this post... probably just to make you happy."

Su Mingan: "..."

Su Mingan: "Really?"

"Look, they are quite good at playing. I heard that many small groups have booked various areas, such as amusement parks, commercial streets, and scenic spots... all for the purpose of arranging the so-called birthday venues , Even if they know that you probably won’t be able to see it, they will gather together, sing, dance, record videos from a distance, and celebrate your birthday.” Noel smiled: “Including this post, it was actually just a post at the beginning. It’s a gathering place for lovers. Even though there are a lot of pushers behind it, but there are still a lot of people who just love it—everyone really wants you to rest and really wants you to be happy.”

"..." Su Ming settled for a moment: "Actually, I also understand."

It's not that he doesn't understand this.

It's just the inertia of his thinking that made him subconsciously consider the problem from the overall situation.

He subconsciously summed up the impact of this activity on all people from the perspective of the joint group and others.

As a result, his eyes couldn't focus on the people's original and most sincere purpose for a while.

"Su Ming'an, actually... I'm actually quite sad after seeing this."

Noel suddenly said this:
"The rest is fine, reputation, influence, honor, the name of the first player...it's fine, if they want to use it. But, but this is just your birthday...why do these guys , to complicate this matter, to make it full of purpose and extremely utilitarian? These guys, they even want to contribute to your birthday..."

"This cannot be avoided." Su Mingan said.

"Well, it's unavoidable." Noel's voice paused for a moment.

He seemed to be thinking.

But after a while, his iconic smile appeared on his face again, as if he didn't want his negative emotions to be passed on.

"So." He said, his eyes fixed on the communication screen, and his tone was extremely serious: "Su Mingan, we will definitely make you happy.

—I swear we won't let anything interrupt your birthday.I don't know what your life was like, or how you spent your last eighteen birthdays.But this year, but this year we met you.

...I will definitely do my best to give you the purest and most beautiful birthday without any impurities.

As I said before, the game is played with a smile.I wasn't joking then, and I mean it now.

I will definitely, will definitely let you leave one of the best memories.Tomorrow, you don't have to be the so-called number one player, you are just my most valued friend.

...on your 19th, brand new first day.As long as you are happy, as long as you like, we can go anywhere and do anything. "

Noel's words were very serious and his tone was very sincere, his eyes were so clear that they could almost reflect the shadow of a person.

He seemed to be glowing now.

"Yes." Su Mingan nodded, "I see."

"Then I'll hang up first." Noel waved his hand: "See you tomorrow morning, I will definitely prepare the best birthday for you."

After Su Mingan responded, the communication was hung up.

"Click."

Su Mingan frowned slightly.

... Noel is a terrible person.
