Rorschach had seen too many wars of public opinion.
Whether it was on the Internet or in real life, in the Congress or in the market, once people started arguing, no one would appear to be more noble.
Look for flaws and attack them.
Flip over and flip over. That was all.
No flaws. Personal attacks.
Was there a difference between creating negative material and a shrew?
Repeat above.
Both sides splashed dirty water on each other. In the end, everyone was more or less negative.
Since they were already involved, don't even think about being a white lotus. Even if there were no flaws or negative material, they would still be splashed with a pile of negative material.
A group of onlookers watched the drama unfold. As they splashed, the black water naturally splashed onto them. Some were filled with righteous indignation, some were interested in benefits, and some were just there to join in the fun. The onlookers started to personally participate.
When there were more participants and supporters of a dispute than onlookers, it would truly become the focal point of society.
As for the origin of the dispute and the reason for the war of public opinion …
"Who cares? I don't care at all. Does anyone still remember the failed Evil God Hunt?"
Public opinion needed time to ferment. This was even more so for hype.
It was now the third week since the God Slaying Event. The Church of Games, which wasn't afraid of trouble, met Rorschach, who wasn't afraid of trouble at all. This small fire was forcefully ignited into a prairie fire.
Everything had just begun.
"The Nature Faction is fighting with the Elves again!"
A ranger and two druids beat up two Elves on Fallen Street. In the end, the Elves called for a guard knight. Then, half an hour later, they infiltrated a ranger squad and a druid squad. Both sides directly tore down the entire street.
Yes, this was no longer a matter between the Game Church and the Elven War God. This fire had already spread to the heads of the two factions.
The cause? Well, I started two weeks ago.
At first, it was only the teaching journals under the control of the Elves that stood on the moral and public high ground. They criticized the Game Church's sneak attack and the Evil God Hunt that failed because of it.
Saul's reaction to the public: Game Church? What's that? Wait, let's look for information first.
In the eyes of the onlookers, they had never heard of this name. They were busy looking for information about the Game Church. Most of the listeners were still confused.
"A New God Church that was established less than two years ago? They actually dared to attack the Silver Elves' flagship, and it really sank? Is he crazy for fame? "
In the eyes of the public, the Silver Elves, who were good at image engineering and had an elegant appearance, had a pretty good image.
At first, after it was confirmed that the Silver Elves were the ones who suffered the most losses, public opinion was on the Game Church.
But the Game Church …
"Counterattack? Of course, we will fight back. But don't be anxious. This is a publicity campaign for us. Why waste time? "
A giant wouldn't react to being bitten by a mosquito. Only an opponent of similar size would be able to fight, and not be ignored or slapped to death.
Making the silver elves suffer losses, and making them choose to retaliate by fighting verbally instead of secretly killing them as if they were ants? Although the first impression that the Church of Games gave people wasn't a good one, at the very least, it gave people the impression that they were a negative character with a certain amount of strength and confidence.
It was said that in the first week, not only did the Church's believers not decrease, it actually increased by several hundred. There was also an endless stream of people applying to join the Church. Excluding the spies from the outside, it could be said that the Church didn't suffer any losses. Instead, it made a huge profit.
As the number of attackers increased, the Game Church remained silent. This was seen as a tacit agreement and a sign of cowardice.
When this hot topic gradually died down, and it seemed that everyone was about to turn their attention to the next hot topic, the Game Church finally spoke. Moreover, it was in a strange journal that no one knew about.
"It's only the second issue that I took over, and the sales have increased by a hundred times. I am indeed a sales genius."
"That's because your original sales were only in the tens."
Although this was the case, the second issue only sold around two thousand.
This was considered a weak standard among the older Church's journals, but for a new Church whose name wasn't even known to the world, this was already very rare.
However, there was a special reason for this. The drop in sales for the next issue was unavoidable unless this issue left a deep enough impression on them that they had the urge to continue ordering.
However, there was a big story in this episode.
"Self-written and self-acted? The true perpetrator of the shipwreck incident is actually … "
The misleading and offensive tabloid headline was thrown on the front cover. The readers originally thought that it would be filled with saliva attacks, but when they opened it, they saw a complete chain of evidence made up of various photos.
On the front page was a notarial certificate issued by the Church of Law. It confirmed the authenticity of the evidence in this issue and directly pointed to the true murderer — Jack.
In particular, the silver elves' description of the missing Jack was simply the model of a knight … The editor slowly added annotations to Jack's distorted face in the photo.
"Our most loyal guardian knight. — "Moon Reflection Reference, Issue 176, Page 72, Four Lines."
At this moment, he was smiling as he stabbed a female descender with his sword. The background was a room full of bombs and a corpse on the ground.
The second page was an expensive magic painting. Just a copy of the painting was enough to make this issue suffer a loss no matter how much it sold.
However, it was indeed valuable.
"Oh, fifteen minutes was just something I said casually. Actually, I just randomly set the timer for those bombs. I don't even know when they will explode … But don't you think that this kind of anticipation and the unknown is the most interesting? Before you can react, boom! We'll be smashed to pieces! Haha, haha! "
With just a light tap, the Jack in the image would say these words with a face full of joy.
The annotations on the side were also unusually sarcastic.
"The most solid shield of the silver elves, the model of a just and noble knight. — "Art of War, Issue 721, Page 5, Four Lines."
On the third page, beside the face that was always contorted in battle, was:
"A kind-hearted person who loves to do good deeds and takes care of the family of his subordinates for a hundred years. — "Art of War, Issue 721, Page 5, Nine Lines."
Only then did the audience realize that the Game Church wasn't admitting defeat. Instead, they were collecting materials to slap faces.
Whenever Jack was mentioned in the description of the incident, the elves would praise him. The more they praised him, the more ridiculous it seemed, and the more swollen the elves' faces were from the slap.
That issue was sold out instantly. The first print run of 2500 copies was still in short supply. Even though the more copies were printed, the more losses they would suffer. Lori gritted her teeth and printed an additional 3000 copies.
The actions of the elves had offended many people. Many churches had been waiting to see them make a scene. At this moment, they jumped out to beat them while they were down.
Rorschach fulfilled his promise and made Jack famous. At the same time, the reputation of the silver elves was swept to the ground. Furthermore, this public opinion environment that attracted the attention of the public was created by the elves themselves.
They tried their best to hype up this matter, but in the end, they failed and benefited the other party.
Originally, by this time, the matter should have come to an end.
However, the Game Church didn't let it go. They didn't care about the rules of publishing periodicals. In a short week, they published 3 new issues of , each more damaging than the last.
This time, it wasn't just limited to the silver elves and the hunting incident. It directly involved the entire Nature Faction and the elves.
