Chapter 867: Chapter 477 Complicated Ga Chapter 867: Chapter 477 Complicated Ga Hakurei Silver Dream had never expected that a perfectly normal ani mahjong ga would turn into a ga of hide and seek.
Especially since it included the very person she least wanted to see.
Sitting in the not-so-spacious room, she looked at Wu Wei, the only male character, and said with a weird smile, “To be surrounded by three beautiful girls, where did you co from, the protagonist of a galga?”
Before Wu Wei could respond, Xien Waidao raised his hand and said, “I’m a guy.”
Liuzi also raised his hand, “ too.”
“…So it turns out I’m the only girl here. What’s with you guys playing these trap accounts!”
“Seeing cute girls play cards is way better than watching burly dudes, plus there’s this ‘I’m so adorable’ feeling when changing my own clothes. It’s not just , everyone in our group plays cards using cute girl characters, and we even use the default voice lines; it’s super comfortable.”
Hakurei Silver Dream was hugely annoyed that she actually shared the sa thoughts as Xien Waidao.
After she had finished creating her character, she also had the illusion of being the cutest under heaven.
Hugging her head and sitting in a corner, Hakurei Silver Dream began to wonder why she’d ended up in this situation, but could co up with no answer.
“I just wanted to win a championship and slap those who looked down on in the face. How did it co to this?”
“Your goal was impure from the start,” Liuzi said while playing with his ponytail.
“It’s a mahjong ga, how pure can the intentions be! Even college students aren’t pure these days! And stop playing with your hair, it looks disgusting! Especially since the face you created is just like the female protagonists of Mr. Liuzi that I adore, it feels even more disgusting.”
“Why don’t you ntion that his na is also the sa as your idol?” Xien Waidao said, pulling Liuzi.
“So, it’s even more disgusting.”
“But he is Mr. Liuzi, the real deal.”
Hakurei Silver Dream looked back and forth between Liuzi and Xien Waidao, then said with a forced smile, “It can’t be. Tell you guys are joking.”
Liuzi thought for a mont, then on the spot drew a picture of one of his female protagonists.
Seeing that no one laughed, Hakurei Silver Dream covered her face, thinking it might be better to just die here today.
Liuzi also felt a little awkward, especially since it was only after he finished drawing that he rembered his current appearance was a bit shaful.
Xien Waidao didn’t really care, only feeling a bit regretful that there wasn’t a bloodbath on the spot, and he even wanted to fan the flas a bit more.
Sensing that the atmosphere was getting sowhat awkward, the always amiable Wu Wei felt he needed to say sothing.
Sitting next to Liuzi, he curiously asked, “I’ve been thinking, do we need to be so tense? It’s just a ga, it shouldn’t need to be taken so seriously, should it?”
“You’re still too naive,” Liuzi said helplessly. “Just go take a look at Ga Inn, the people there have gone crazy.”
Curiously opening Ga Inn and finding the “galopolis” subforum, Wu Wei gasped in shock.
As a veteran netizen, he had experienced everything from the 3G to the 5G era.
But he had never expected a ga forum to have such a complex mix of characters.
Normally, you’d expect an ani forum to be filled with intense analyses, fan art (CG), walkthroughs, and the like.
But in “galopolis,” it was full of deception and scheming.
So people would praise A to attack B and ultimately aim to manipulate C. So appeared to be whistleblowers but were actually misleading other players, serving their own unspeakable purposes.
The moderators were constantly deleting posts and silencing users, yet new posts kept surfacing at such a rate that Wu Wei wondered if he was watching a war unfold.
“The speed of post deletion and posting is too fast to follow,” Wu Wei exclaid in amazent.
“It’s all because ‘galopolis’ has touched on so people’s interests,” Liuzi shrugged and said. “The traditional card and board gas were okay, at the end of the day it’s just a table and so mahjong tiles. But ‘galopolis’ delivered a Dinsionality Reduction Strike, providing players with a much more intense experience than anywhere else. Where else would you choose to play?”
“Exactly,” Xien Waidao added as he joined in, “I have soone in my group who makes card ga templates for overseas markets. He said that ever since ‘galopolis’ ca out, his template sales have been cut in half. Those in the grey markets are the most sensitive; they knew the traditional card ga platforms were done for after ‘galopolis’ ca out. After that, they had to find another way.”
Hearing this, Wu Wei roughly understood.
The card ga competition the day after tomorrow was just a spark; the chaos on the forum had already been brewing.
Card gas have always been a rather grey industry, albeit gaming currency exchange with RMB was prohibited by the state, there existed an abundance of Gold Coin traders in the gas. They acted as an exchange platform, circulating the ga’s currency through buying low and selling high, and facilitating clandestine currency exchanges.
So even conducted virtual rooms in the gas and operated offline gambling, making it a risky affair.
However, the appearance of “galopolis” diverted a large portion of potential users away from other gaming platforms and directly into this ga.
Although it was uncertain how much other card ga platforms had been affected, from their frenzied behavior, their influence must have been rather significant.
