Goose Speed Studios.

Qi Jun laughed when he saw Zhou Tianhao getting scolded by the five players.

“Brother Jun, what are you laughing at?”

Xiao Ruoyan asked in confusion.

“I’m laughing at the heavens for helping me.”

“Look at how angry these players are,” Qi Jun explained. “This is our best excuse.”

“What? What do you mean?”

Xiao Ruoyan was at a loss. She did not think that the two could be connected.

“How did you get into the department?”

Qi Jun could not help but complain, “Who are we? We are the official developers. These players are our bread and butter. Without the players, there would be no us. If the players are being persecuted, of course we have to take action!”

“Oh, I think I understand now!”

Xiao Ruoyan came to a sudden realization. “You’re saying that as the managers behind the players, we have the obligation to maintain the fairness of the game. We must see ourselves as the party of justice and judge this streamer. If he violated the rules of the game, it’s justifiable to ban his account!”

Qi Jun nodded in satisfaction and said, “You might not think it’s nice to say it that way, but it’s the truth. Do you understand?”

“I understand, but…”

Xiao Ruoyan wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she fell silent.

For a moment, she seemed to have seen the dark side of this world.

She suddenly felt a little afraid. She was afraid to tear open that side, afraid to see that bloody and cruel scene.

“As long as the position is high and the power is great, black can be said to be white, and white can be said to be black…”

Xiao Ruoyan thought to herself and couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

She knew that this was the real world.

When she looked at the live broadcast room, she could not help but feel pity for it.

She knew that no matter how good this top-notch player was, he would not be able to turn the tables if Qi Jun’s combination of punches landed on him!

“Watch carefully. The next part is the main event.”

Qi Jun noticed that Xiao Ruoyan was absent-minded and reminded her, “Learn well. There will be many such things in the future.”

“Oh, okay!”

Xiao Ruoyan came back to her senses and looked at the live broadcast room. However, her eyes lacked a pure radiance.

…

“Are the officials still there? Are you really afraid?”

Zhou Tianhao spoke again, but he did not get a reply for a long time.

After Zhou Tianhao’s face-slapping, many haters had turned into fans.

“F*ck, Goose Speed’s official account really ran away!”

“This is the official account?”

“Officials, if you have the ability to bet, don’t you have the ability to honor the bet?”

“No, can’t you be less shameless?”

..

Qi Jun was explaining to Xiao Ruoyan.

“Remember, Public Relations is not as simple as issuing a statement. You have to learn to control public opinion and guide the emotions of the masses. If necessary, you can hire fake reviewers, but not today.”

“Why?”

Xiao Ruoyan’s eyes were dark. She felt that she was becoming dirty, but in order to keep her job, she chose to endure.

“Because the emotions are enough, the audience is now fence-sitters. They will fall in whichever direction the wind blows. You just need to guide them appropriately.”

As he said that, Qi Jun typed a few words into the bullet screen as a response to Zhou Tianhao.

“Do you think it’s fair?”

..

In the live broadcast room.

“Do you think it’s fair?”

Zhou Tianhao was taken aback and responded, “What do you mean by fairness? Are you suggesting that I won unfairly?”

Goose Speed replied, “It’s not about me. It’s about those players you abused.”

As soon as he said this, the bullet screen quieted down and started to watch the confrontation between the two sides.

“Why are you telling me all this? I made a bet with you and won. Can you please unban me now?”

“Besides, I was banned by mistake. I did this to prove to you that this game has bugs. That means that the detection system is wonky. It’s not a loss for you after all!”

Zhou Tianhao didn’t know why the Goose Speed official mentioned this, but he instinctively felt that it wasn’t a good thing so he didn’t follow their words.

After Zhou Tianhao finished speaking, his supporters started to speak.

“That’s right. Don’t you officials know what kind of person the streamer is? With his skills, did he need to break the rules?”

“I believe the video now. I couldn’t dream of being the first racing god of the season. Do you know what you lost by banning such a high-skilled player’s account? Don’t you have any idea?”

“That’s right. How many top players have the streamer and the others pulled in for you? Just that video alone had a few million views. How much more revenue would it increase for you? Do you dare to say it?”

“That’s right, that’s right. What a disgusting official. I’ll say it here today. If you don’t unban the streamer, I’ll directly uninstall the game!”

“Me too. I mean what I say!”

…

Seeing the public opinion leaning toward the streamer, Xiao Ruoyan was a little flustered. “He’s even starting to scold us!”

“Tsk tsk, I didn’t expect this guy to have such a sharp mouth.”

Qi Jun did not panic at all in the face of the criticism of the bullet screen. He smiled and said, “Don’t be anxious. The higher he’s praised now, the worse he will fall later.”

“It’s my turn.”

After saying that, he started to send bullet comments.

“Don’t change the topic,” the Goose Speed account said. “The detection system exists to punish players like you.”

“Originally, we didn’t expose your background, but you asked for it. In front of the officials, do you think you still have any secrets?”

“Look at the angry faces of the five players. The game is supposed to bring joy to people, but you treat them like this!”

“As officials, we will never forgive the players who destroy the game environment!”

As soon as this was said, there were more emotional comments on the bullet screen.

“I suddenly pity those people. They clearly wanted to play a game, but they were treated like this!”

“Yeah, especially the one who got first place. He worked so hard to get first place, but he was directly beaten by this stupid streamer. He didn’t even reach the finish line. If it were me, I’d probably be so angry that I’d smash my computer!”

“Streamer, you’re so ruthless. How can you do such a thing?”

Seeing that the emotions were almost stirred up, Qi Jun continued typing in front of the computer:

“Next is the official announcement.”

“After our technical staff investigated and collected evidence, you were detected to have violated the rules: Maliciously using bugs to play the game and obtain improper ranking points. This was also the reason why you were ahead of others and rushed to the first place so quickly.”

“Goose Speed has been running this game for more than ten years based on the principle of fairness and justice. It has an extremely top-notch and perfect detection system that can detect any behavior that destroys the balance of the game.”

“You thought you weren’t cheating, but your malicious act of using a bug to obtain ranking points for yourself still broke the balance of the game and hurt other players. This is a serious violation of the game rules we established.”

“Therefore, banning you is a very reasonable and legitimate action. Please do not harm other players for your own selfish desires in the future. In addition, we will fix the bug as soon as possible. Please wait patiently for your account to be unbanned.”

These few words immediately blew up the bullet screen.
