Fate's forum was the largest and most popular forum in the game right now. It was also the forum with the most detailed sections and the most comprehensive content.
Due to the popularity of Fate, tens of millions of players logged into the forum every day. The Glory Corporation had no choice but to use an entire floor of their computer room to store the forum's data. Every day, there would be hundreds of thousands of posts on the various pages of the forum. Sometimes, there would even be millions of posts. Among these posts, there were technical posts about professional operations in the game, promotional posts about guilds, beauty posts about players, original song posts, various novel posts, and various gossip posts.
In short, the number and quality of the posts made it one of the best forums in the game.
Among so many posts, there would be a selection every week to choose the top ten most popular posts. At the end of the month, there would be a selection of the top forty posts. The players who posted the top three posts would receive generous rewards, and the players who replied to the posts would also receive random small gifts.
Although only a small portion of the players would benefit from such an event, it did not stop the players from being passionate about Fate's forum. This was because no one knew when one would get lucky and one's post would be rated as one of the top three posts. That huge amount of prize money would be like a pie falling from the sky and smashing onto one's head.
Although the topics of the top three posts were different every month, the most popular post on the forum today was made by a player called "Passing Bystander". The title of his post was "A Forbidden Love That Transcends Hatred. An In-Depth Analysis of Fate's Number One Scandal on the First Day of the New Expansion Pack".
Tan Polang took a look at the time when the post was posted. It was less than three hours ago, but there were already more than two hundred thousand replies to the post. It was a shocking speed. Although Tan Polang was looking for a post about Fleeting Time, he could not help but be curious about the post. He clicked into the post to find out what it was about.
The post seemed to contain a great deal of resentment. Even the Fate forum's high end servers were slow to open the post. It was so slow that it even caused the screen to freeze. Tan Polang furrowed his eyebrows. It had been a few seconds since he clicked into the post, but he could only see the title and the number of replies. He had yet to see the main content of the post.
Just as Tan Polang decided to give up on the post, the post sensed Tan Polang's dissatisfaction, and the main content of the post popped up.
The poster, "Passing Bystander", used a very gossipy tone to narrate a story to the netizens. The story took place in the wisteria garden this afternoon. The story was not very exciting, but it was a farce between two players from opposing continents in the wisteria garden.
But after the post was posted, a player immediately followed up with a guess, "Could the main characters of the story be the two that I'm thinking of?"
"To the one above, I have a feeling that the two that you're thinking of are the two that I'm thinking of."
"I know who you're talking about. I think I saw these two in the wisteria garden this afternoon."
… …
After dozens of replies, a player finally lost his patience and started begging in the post, "Everyone, can you please stop with the guessing game? Who are the two characters?"
"That's right, that's right. Who is it? You're making us feel very conflicted. Hurry up and tell us.
… …
But the players who knew the answer kept their mouths shut. They turned a deaf ear to the players' questions.
After that, the players began to look for the OP, "Passing Bystander".
"That's not nice of you, OP. Why did you leave the post so soon?"
"Calling for OP. Calling for OP."
"Stop calling, the OP has entered the palace."
… …
Just like that, the first page of the popular post was filled with meaningless comments, and the second page was also filled with meaningless comments. It was only until the third page that the OP, "Passing Bystander", finally arrived. He seemed to be very surprised by the speed at which the post was being posted. It took him less than 15 minutes to edit the following paragraph, and the post had already flipped through 3 pages. (The default number of posts in the Fate forum was 100 posts per page.) He apologized sincerely and began to explain what happened next.
The story was very simple. After discovering the two characters, he followed them to a secluded corner. It was the second half of the wisteria garden. There were almost no players in the area, and it was very quiet. Then, he discovered a shocking passion that made him blush and his heart beat faster.
At this point, the players who claimed that they knew who the two characters were jumped out one after another, "OP, do you know what you're talking about?"
"OP, I don't know if what you said about blushing and your heart beating faster is what I'm thinking!"
"OP, please take a picture, screenshot!"
"No pictures, no truth."
"Just passing by."
"No pictures, no truth."
… …
After more than one page of screams without any pictures or truth, the OP "Passerby Soy Sauce" appeared again. He expressed his understanding of all the players' screams and promised that there was definitely a picture and the truth. He was now editing the picture, so please don't be anxious.
The post became very lively. Perhaps it was because of the OP's promise that there were pictures to prove the truth, but some players who were lurking in the dark began to reveal the identities of the two main characters.
"If I'm not mistaken, the OP is not talking about Gongzi You of the Eastern Continent and Fleeting Time of the Western Continent, right?"
A single stone stirred up a thousand ripples. There was actually someone who dared to take the risk and twist the tiger's whiskers. There was actually someone who dared to be the first bird to stick his neck out. The players behind him immediately followed up like a tidal wave. They all said that they had been in the wisteria garden at the time and had indeed witnessed the PK between the two. Moreover, there were Hunters who stood up and analyzed the process of the PK between the two. They all said that it was an absolutely brilliant battle.
Not only that, but there were also some female players who said that the scene of the PK between the two players under the wisteria garden was so beautiful that it was like a scene from a movie.
With the testimonies of millions of witnesses, it was confirmed that the male and female characters in the post were the best Hunters of the Eastern and Western Continents. Just when everyone was discussing the male and female protagonists, a netizen named "1234567" suddenly popped out a sentence, immediately leading the whole thread in a different direction with an attitude of looking down on the world.
"I say, everyone, I think you're going in the wrong direction … I think the focus of this post is not on the main characters, but their passion. Have you all forgotten that the OP said that he has pictures of the male and female characters that make people blush and their hearts beat faster? That's the question that we need to face. "
This sentence was like a magic pen that immediately changed the direction of the players' discussion. The cries for pictures and truth that had just died down became even louder.
Tan Polang skimmed through the post, and his heart was filled with curiosity. Pictures of Fleeting Time and Ye Ci that make people blush and their hearts beat faster? What kind of pictures are those? What kind of pictures are those? Tan Polang had unknowingly forgotten his original purpose for coming to the forum. He was completely immersed in the excitement of climbing the forums.
After that, the number of posts increased exponentially. The number of replies and the number of posts was unprecedented. There were even some players who were familiar with the post that began to chat, and this only increased the rate at which comments were being posted. In the beginning, Tan Polang was still interested in reading the players' replies. However, he soon lost interest as the number of replies increased. In the end, he bought a week's worth of 'Only Look at the OP' function and started searching for replies from the OP's' Just Passing Bystander '.
After posting about 200 pages in this huge building, the OP "Passerby Soy Sauce" finally appeared again. This time, he posted about 20 pictures. These pictures were all very beautiful, but they did not touch on his so-called passion, his so-called blushing heartbeat, or his so-called fantasies. They were just screenshots of the PK between Fleeting Time and Ye Ci in the wisteria garden. The screenshots were extremely clear. Although the two of them were still wearing cloaks, they had taken off their hats, so their appearances could be clearly identified. Everyone was certain that the gamers' speculations were correct.
However, this was not something that the players were looking forward to. After all, who would be interested in a side dish when they knew that there was meat to be had?
Therefore, in the later posts, everyone unanimously requested the OP to post the so-called passionate screenshots and strongly requested the OP not to edit the pictures. Everyone was not interested in whether the pictures were beautiful or not. What they were interested in was the content of the pictures.
However, the OP still took his time and continued to post the rest of the pictures. In the OP's words, he had taken too many pictures. If he posted them one by one, he would mess them up very quickly. Therefore, he could only post them batch by batch. However, he also agreed to the players' request and did not touch up the pictures.
In fact, the OP "Passing Bystander" did not edit the pictures too much. He only added some soft lighting to make the pictures look more beautiful and gentle. It was just like a screenshot from a movie. However, for players who craved excitement and excitement, these embellishments were simply superfluous and superfluous! What they wanted was passion. What they wanted was blushing and their hearts racing. What they wanted was to let their imaginations run wild. What was the point of all this beauty and gentleness!
Under the strong demands of the players in the game, the OP also felt that he was being unkind, so he sped up the posting speed. He finally posted the picture of the two players chasing each other to a secluded corner, and the picture changed from a normal position to looking up at the sky. There were even some green grass in front of the camera.
Some players voiced their dissatisfaction, "OP, why is the screenshot so far away? Why is there grass in the picture? Why is it still looking up? "
"That's right! Can't you zoom in? It's so far away! What's the point of looking at it? "
Such words of protest came crashing down like a strong wind. The original poster, "Passerby Soy Sauce", could only explain awkwardly, "There are scenes of zooming in behind, and there are also scenes of no grass, but all of them are looking up. As you all know, Fleeting Time and Gongzi You are top Hunters. They have high Awareness. I'm already at the risk of losing levels by taking pictures from this position. Fortunately, there's a hole in the ground where I'm hiding, and there's a lot of grass growing there. That's why I'm able to take these pictures safely. If I was a little closer, I would've lost a few levels by now. I wouldn't even have the chance to post this in the forums. "
Although the players were still regretful about the OP's explanation of being a passerby, most of them expressed that they could understand. However, there were waves of people urging him to post more passionate photos, and the OP said that he wanted to edit the photos again. The players who were tempted by the OP's reply were on the verge of breaking down. They continued to call for the OP to reveal the truth behind the pictures, and more of them questioned the OP's decision.
The OP had already reached 500 pages in the blink of an eye, and even the address of the dehydration post was posted. Of course, the dehydration post attracted a certain number of players, but there were even more players who wished to stay in the building and witness the passion created by the players of the Eastern and Western Continents.
Finally, the OP appeared on the 627th page, and this time, he was accompanied by five screenshots.
The screenshots were taken in a row from top to bottom. The accuracy and speed of the screenshots were on point, allowing the players to see the intimate interaction between the two, as well as their expressions. The male Elf in the picture had a very shocking expression on his face. His eyes were lowered, and there was a faint smile on his lips. He was lifting the female Elf's chin with his right hand, as if he was saying something. The female Elf's eyes widened in disbelief.
These five photos were all about the same thing. They were just photos of what happened within a few seconds. It gave people a sense of movement when they looked at these photos.
Below the picture was a caption from the OP, "The two of them were in the middle of a fight when they suddenly stopped fighting. I don't know what Fleeting Time said, but Gongzi You had this expression on her face. After that, Fleeting Time started to act up …"
"Ahhh! What happened after that? OP, what happened after that?! It's too unkind of you to release these pictures like this. Do you know how many people you'll kill by doing this? "
"I strongly request the pictures after that!"
“+1。”
