To ascend, I had no choice but to create games

Chapter 324: Chapter 205 What Are You? (Second Update)_2

“`

The nostalgia came back, prompting them to pause and play a couple of hours of Druid Entertainment games before returning.

The outstanding quality resulted in an extremely high like and coin donation rate for the video.

Although Wang knew his video was impressive, he was still taken aback by its rapid rise to the trending list in just two hours, crossing two hundred thousand coin donations in three hours, and reaching the top of the charts in four.

Afterward, the video caught the attention of Druid Entertainment’s official Bilibili account.

Despite only featuring “Fallen Mecha” in the last twenty minutes, Druid Entertainment immediately pinned Wang Say Games’s video to the top of the event page and began to redirect viewers to it.

The official account even personally liked the video, an honor that left Wang quite moved.

Who said Druid Entertainment doesn’t care about players? I think they’re quite approachable.

Although Wang had had a few trending videos before, this one was his favorite.

And the video didn’t disappoint his expectations; the constantly changing data signified praise and also revenue, allowing him to experience what it means to gain both fame and wealth.

The following day, at the same time, the video related to “Spirit Vessel” was released.

Unlike the previous video, which introduced from the beginning to the end, this one was structured from end to beginning.

It started with “Spirit Vessel,” followed by the “Space” series, “Heavenly Demon,” “The Nameless,” “Quiet Cultivation,” and so on.

Finally, all the way back to the start of the dream, “The Forest’s Second Son.”

At that time, “The Forest’s Second Son” was just a game in a competition, and Wang Say Games happened to come across it, marking the beginning of his fate with Fang Cheng.

One before and one after, one old and one new, the symmetric video structure corresponded with each other, helping the audience better understand the development path of Fang Cheng Studio.

Having watched the video, viewers were filled with emotions.

[Wang, I thought you were just a joker, but it turns out you’re a joker with a heart.]

[Keep it up, I’m willing to call you Wang instead of Old Thief for the next three days.]

[I would call it the strongest of the year.]

[To the hundred thousand viewers watching together, hello there.]

[A hundred thousand coins? Who are you looking down on! Everyone coming in, give me two likes each, create a burner account if you have to!]

Without surprise, this video quickly moved up to the homepage as well, sitting side by side with the previous video, becoming the new daily must-watch.

Looking at the two videos, one after the other on the weekly charts, Wang felt complete.

Fang Cheng Studio’s official account also liked Wang’s video and left a message of thanks below it.

Just when things were looking up, Wang Say Games discovered that the data for his previous video had stalled.

Subsequently, his video was taken down from the “Fallen Mecha” event page, and the official like was removed.

Afterwards, the video was blocked, and its promotion was canceled.

While Wang was confused about what happened, his customer service representative reached out to him.

[Sir, I’m sorry, but your video was reported.]

Wang was shocked and then reviewed his own video, realizing that he hadn’t insulted anyone or stepped out of line. Especially since the tone of the video about “Druid Entertainment’s Thirty Years” was quite serious, he had been very restrained.

After calming down, he quickly asked, [Why was it reported? And what kind of report is so powerful?]

[Sorry, I can’t say.]

[To provoke such a swift reaction from Bilibili, it must be related personnel… Druid Entertainment?]

[Sorry, I can’t say.]

[Why would they report my video? I praised them a lot. Even a diehard fan would have to acknowledge my compliments. Why?]

[Sorry, I can’t say. It might have something to do with your recent performance.]

Right after that remark appeared, the other party retracted it and then fell silent.

This last message gave Wang an epiphany, although it also seemed unbelievable.

Could it be the second video, “A Year of Fang Cheng Studio”? Because I praised it and their recent release “Spirit Vessel”?

Although this reason seemed far-fetched, combining recent events, Wang felt it was the only explanation.

“`

And this speculation was soon confirmed, as Druid Entertainment’s official account quickly posted an update:

“Loyalty is the most precious quality, a pity you don’t have it.”

This line was from a game by Druid Entertainment, spoken by Prince Aland before executing a traitor.

Used here, it seemed to be a meme, but Wang knew it was aimed at him.

Staring at the words on the screen, Wang felt as if each letter was a dagger, savagely stabbing into his chest.

As he dumbly gazed at the sentence, he felt a chill throughout his body, a despair he had never felt even when playing “Spreading Traditional Culture Starting from Me.”

Even when there was a power cut, and he was huddled in his blanket alone, he had never felt so desolate.

Seeing Wang’s ashen face, speechless, Zhao placed a hand on his shoulder and asked with concern, “What’s wrong?”

“…It’s nothing.”

“Then why are you staring blankly like that, this sentence… fuck their mom!”

Zhao was also a fan of Druid Entertainment and had played many of their games, so she naturally could tell that the official was being passive-aggressive.

And she was well aware of Wang’s passion for Druid Entertainment; she knew how much yesterday’s official endorsement had uplifted him, and thus she knew the depth of his current pain.

She was more sensitive than Wang, and upon seeing that sentence, and thinking back to the recent videos Wang had posted, she instantly understood why Druid Entertainment would say such a thing.

After swearing every dirty word she knew, Zhao still felt unsatisfied.

Pulling out her phone, she shouted in a Q group: “Log in, don’t go to Wang’s live stream, come to mine!”

“Sis-in-law, are you finally ready to tear into Wang? Did you discover Wang using an alt account to follow those cam girls?”

“We’ll talk about that later! Get over to my account first.”

Most of Wang’s fans had a propensity for gossip; sensing drama, they eagerly logged in and then saw Zhao live streaming from her phone.

She covered her face, waited until there were enough viewers, then she tipped herself with a spaceship to gather popularity before she began her tirade.

“Druid Entertainment, getting too big for your boots, huh!”

The whole story was laid out by her, with a stream of profanities that left viewers aghast.

In Zhao’s words, Druid Entertainment’s household registration book was left with only one page; every meal was a reunion dinner, every ID photo was a family portrait.

No dignity was left, diseases were rampant, stepping out the door meant certain death, and their ashes were destined to scatter like the breeze.

The audience initially thought Wang’s mouth had reached the peak of human profanity, but Zhao’s tirade proved she was a true maestro.

This stuff, way more entertaining than a video!

Zhao continued her verbal assault for a full half hour before being banned by the admins.

However, the viewers felt unsatisfied; some even lent her their accounts to continue the onslaught.

This time, Zhao switched to English.

Having studied abroad, English was practically her second mother tongue, her use of native slang was explosively offensive, making the F-, B- and A-initial swearwords seem tame by comparison.

This account was quickly banned as well, but no matter, there were plenty of accounts from the audience to use.

Throughout the entire evening, Zhao’s lips never stopped moving.

Many expressed their view that in situations like this, one should indeed be uncouth and send best regards to their entire family.

A girl who could defend her man like this was truly impressive.

As the incident further escalated, Druid Entertainment had no choice but to delete their previous statement the next day, but they still neither restored the recommendation for the first video nor honored the prize money.

Although the first video had been released, Druid Entertainment turned a deaf ear and started to feign death.

If they had completely ignored it, that would have been one thing.

But it seemed like their executives had been possessed as they soon afterwards announced a new event.

The event included the latest competition for “Fallen Mecha” with a grand prize of two million US dollars, but there was a special note added.

This event does not include players from the Huaxia mainland region; in principle, we advise these players not to participate. In case of non-compliance, we will disqualify the participants as we see fit.

Upon seeing this message, the just-calm storm blew up once again.

Druid Entertainment, got too full of ourselves, did we!
