"Cheers!"
Everyone raised the glasses in their hands and clinked glasses with each other. They could not hide the smile on their faces.
"You guys did a great job this time."
Holding a glass of wine, Fangzheng smiled and nodded at Kashiwa Shiyu and Yamada Enchantress in front of him. While Fangzheng was working hard in the main world, other worlds were still carrying out their own activities. For example, Fangzheng was currently participating in the celebration of "The Realm of Swords and Sabers". This book, which was written by Yamada Enchantress and Kashiwa Shiyu, received attention from all levels of society as soon as it was released.
After all, rather than calling it a novel, it was more like a record or a biography. The two of them used multiple perspectives to show the readers how a group of young people mustered up their courage, fought tenaciously to the end, and won the spirit and legend of victory in a world full of death.
Humans had a curious mentality, not to mention that "The Realm of Swords and Sabers" was released with the gimmick of "a perfect representation of the death game world", which made many people quite tempted. In addition to the collaboration between Yamada Enchantress and Kashiwa Shiyu, the book became the number one bestseller in Japan as soon as it was released. It even had many readers overseas.
"Of course, don't you know who I am? I'm Yamada Enchantress."
Upon hearing Fangzheng's words, Yamada patted her chest with a smile. As for Afterglow Hill Shiyu, she silently swept a glance at her.
"It's not big to begin with. If you pat it again, it might deflate."
"What did you say?! I dare you to say it again! "
Looking at the two people bickering in front of him, Fangzheng smiled and shook his head. In fact, the reason why the book was so popular was because of the strength of the two people, and also because of political needs.
That's right. One had to know that due to the game world of death, this world's Japanese government was criticized both at home and abroad. Just as Fangzheng thought, you didn't even find out that the helmet could roast human brains, yet you released it for public sale. Who else could you blame but yourself?
Although the government had fired a large number of officials to appease the public's anger, it was obviously not that easy. The support rate of the current government was also in jeopardy. Therefore, they were eager to find something to divert the public's attention. The publication of "The Realm of Swords and Sabers" gave the Japanese government an opportunity.
The content of this book was quite positive, and it did not touch on those negative things. Of course, although it also described the anxiety and fear of people trapped in the game world, the theme was still the positive energy of struggle and hard work.
Of course, if the content of this book was purely fictional, then it naturally wouldn't be of much use. Every story in this book was an adaptation of a real event, and every character had their original form. Not to mention, the game company still kept game data and records.
Therefore, apart from some personal secrets that could not be verified, the other parts could be directly checked with the game records. Because of this, the "authenticity" of this book could not be questioned at all.
Because of this "authenticity", "The Realm of Swords and Sabers" also received strong support from the government. They also urgently needed this "humanistic spirit" to divert the public's attention from the mistakes of the government in this aspect, and focus on the people's own courage and perseverance.
Therefore, with the secret support of the government, various television programs about "The Realm of Swords and Sabers" appeared one after another, promoting this book fiercely. The results were not bad. Public opinion and the people ultimately did not learn their lesson, and "The Realm of Swords and Sabers" itself did stand up to the test. Coupled with the existence of the original characters, it quickly became a craze for the people.
Of course, the reason why Fangzheng chose to cooperate with the government was also because he had his own considerations.
Japan was a homogenous country, and because of this, all kinds of bullying and ostracization were very prominent. Especially after the death game incident, although many people were successfully rescued, they were ostracized by the entire society. It was the same even within schools. This was why a special school was built to accommodate these victims of the death game.
Although the death game incident was considered to have ended satisfactorily, society as a whole was not tolerant of these players. Japanese society was similar to China. They did not think that playing games was a glorious thing, let alone such a big incident. Therefore, many people in society thought that the game players had only themselves to blame. If they did not play games and were not addicted to them, they would not have fallen into such a disaster.
There were even some radical people on the Internet who thought that these game players should all die together, because it was because of their existence that this kind of thing happened. Not only did they cause trouble for the government, but they also brought shame to the whole country.
Because of this, the mainstream public opinion at that time was quite unfriendly to these game players. Not to mention the fact that they had slept for two years and wasted two years in vain, it also caused many problems in their own social circle.
Take Ying Lili for example. She was originally in her second year of high school, but when she returned from the game world, her friends had already gone to college …
The ostracization of society, the pressure of public opinion, and the loss of their social circle put many survivors under great pressure.
Of course, there were also people who did not care about these things. For example, Sophie said that her life was still going on, and she did not care about what others said. Jia Baili even hoped that she could stay in the game world for a few more years …
But these were, after all, the minority.
Therefore, Fangzheng deliberately teamed up with the government to turn these survivors into "heroes" to reverse the public opinion and the situation. Fortunately, judging from the current hot sales and popularity of "The Realm of Swords and Sabers", they had all achieved their goal perfectly. Public opinion no longer paid attention to the negligence of the government in the game incident, and the survivors were successfully portrayed by the media as war heroes who returned triumphantly from the war.
Some entertainment companies even planned to find the players of "Sword of the Dark Moon" and design an idol group based on their image …
"You've done a great job this time."
Fangzheng was not stingy with his praise when he looked at Fairy Yamada and Qiu of Dusk Shiyu. After all, although he had given the main direction of "The Realm of Swords and Sabers", Fangzheng did not care how it should be written. What he did not expect was that Fairy Yamada and Qiu of Dusk Shiyu did not choose a single character as the protagonist, but adopted a group portrait mode that used different players' perspectives to advance the plot!
It was a bold attempt, but it was also very successful. There were already people talking about the rights to the film and television adaptation of "The Realm of Swords and Sabers".
Of course, the game copyright was out of the question …
"What are your plans next?"
"I haven't decided yet."
The demoness was clearly closer to Fangzheng, so she was the first to answer with a grin.
"But I'm going to write a long light novel next, and show those guys that I, Fairy Yamada, am still the best bestselling light novel author!"
In contrast, Qiu of Dusk Shiyu's thoughts were calmer.
"I'm going to continue my studies and write a romance novel … I've learned a lot from this experience. I think I can go further on this foundation."
"Since you've decided, go ahead and do it."
Fangzheng did not say anything else after hearing their answers.
"If you have any difficulties or needs, don't hesitate to contact me. I'll definitely help if I can."
The atmosphere of the victory party was unusually warm. After all, in addition to the two protagonists, many related personnel also came to the scene, including many members of the Darkmoon Sword guild. Fangzheng also chatted with them for a long time. In the end, the victory party ended successfully, and everyone bid farewell and went home.
But …
"Miss Qiu of Dusk Shiyu?"
After finishing the rest of the matters, Fangzheng walked out of the hotel. To his surprise, he saw Qiu of Dusk Shiyu standing at the gate in a daze, looking up at the sky in front of her as if she was in a trance. Upon hearing Fangzheng's voice, Xia Qiu Shiyu turned around and looked at Fangzheng.
"Ah, it's Mr. Fangzheng."
"It's already so late … You haven't gone back yet? Is there something wrong? "
"I'm fine, but …"
Afterglow Hill Shiyu sighed. Then, she seemed to have thought of something and turned to Fangzheng.
"Mr. Fangzheng, would you like to go out for a drink with me?"
