Thriller Paradise

Even though Feng bujue was mentally prepared before he entered the log-in lobby, when he opened his email, he was still shocked.

"The last time I received this many emails ... Was during the battle of the butterfly in S1 ..." Brother Jue read the five-digit number of emails and muttered helplessly.

After many updates, Thriller Paradise's social system had become richer and more complete. Correspondingly, some of the rules had changed.

In the current version, players were free to send and receive mail, but the 'supervision' at the system level had become stricter. The system's ability to distinguish "junk mail" had improved significantly since the beginning of the game. It was almost at the level of a real person's verification.

Other than vulgarities, disgusting comments without vulgarities, junk information formed by all sorts of garbled words, and advertising-type emails, the system could filter and block some of the more complicated methods, such as hidden poems, pointing at the Mulberry and scolding the locust with current affairs examples, and specific images formed by various symbols.

Once a player sent a blocked email, they would not be able to send another message for a long time. In addition, even if he didn't send any mail that the system deemed as malicious harassment, if a player didn't receive a reply to his mail for a period of time, he wouldn't be able to repeatedly send multiple emails to the same person.

In summary, the current game's anti-harassment mechanism was still in place.

However ... Even so, brother Jue still received tens of thousands of messages. It wasn't hard to imagine that if the system didn't stop him, what would be waiting for him would probably not be a five-digit number but a seven-digit number ...

"Hmm ...'I'm very unhappy, you're a bad guy'...'I hate you'...'Can you stop your heart for a while'...'Xu Huai Shang's personal guards will be joining, 100 million words that may be blocked will be omitted below, you're on your own'...

Feng bujue quickly scanned through the emails, and most of the content made him want to laugh.

Due to the existence of the system's audit, these people could only rack their brains to find words that wouldn't be blocked in order for the mail to be delivered. The result was ... In the end, the things that were sent were extremely "harmonious." People who read them wouldn't get angry at all. In fact, they would even find them a little cute.

Ding!

Brother Jue had only been watching for two minutes when a notification suddenly rang, indicating that a friend wanted to talk to him.

He looked at the window, and as expected ... It was [mourning dress].

Two seconds later, Feng bujue selected 'audio only'(video call is allowed, but brother Jue usually doesn't use it because he doesn't think it's necessary). After the communicator was set up, he said,""How are you?"

"Hello," he said. Xu Huai Shang replied.

"Your surprise attack today was really good." After the greeting, brother Jue continued in a teasing tone,"acting first and reporting later, huh?"

"Ha ..." Xu Huai Shang naturally knew what brother Jue was talking about, and she was also amused."I guess you must be dealing with the threatening email now?"

"Yeah, these emails that look like they're acting coquettishly are a nightmare. The threat level is between the senior and junior Kindergarten classes." Feng bujue scoffed.

"Just endure it for a few days. It'll be less after a few days anyway." Xu huaixuan said,"unlike me ... I'm being harassed like this every day. In addition to threatening emails, there were confessions, flirting, and the most ridiculous thing was that someone confessed to me for the bad things they had done ..."

"You are you, and I am me." "Why don't you just say that you don't have to pay the bill or wait in line when you go out?" Feng bujue asked.

Xu Huai Shang was obviously stunned for two seconds before he said,""Hey, hey ... How do you know that I don't have to pay the bill or wait in line when I go out?"

"Don't worry, I'm not a stalker. " Feng bujue knew that there was an eighty percent chance that the man had misunderstood."I'm just making a reasonable guess."

The next second, Xu Huai Shang's voice rose."I went to the shop for a cup of coffee, and everyone from the waiter to the head waiter said that I was a lucky customer and didn't need to pay ... This isn't my problem, right? When I go to the amusement park, there will always be people in front of the line who want to invite me to go with them. It's not my problem, right? I'm also very troubled!"

"It's none of my business!" Feng bujue said,"go talk to your parents! Put on your face mask and sunglasses before you go out!"

The two of them shouted at each other for some reason, and then fell silent for a few seconds.

Then, Xu Huai Shang brought the topic back."Alright, let's get down to business. Can I join your club?"

"No," Feng bujue answered without thinking.

"Why?" Xu Huaishang asked.

"Our club is very low-key." Feng bujue said.

"Ha?" Hearing Xu Huai Shang's tone ... She seemed to want to laugh, but she forced herself to hold back."You know that you alone are more famous than all the players in many Studios combined, right? Besides, you guys from Hell's frontline are the Champions of S2, how can you keep a low profile?"

"So, you want our club's popularity to directly double or more?" Feng bujue asked in return.

"I don't really care about that." Xu huaixuan said,"I only know that your club is very strong, and I also think that the team atmosphere is very good."

"What else?" Feng bujue added.

"What else?" Xu Huaishang was stunned.

"There's another important reason you didn't tell me, right?" Feng bujue said.

"Hmm ..." Xu Huai Shang hesitated. After some thought, she felt that she could not hide this from Feng bujue, so she said,"fine ... I believe that if I follow you, I have a high chance of winning S3."

"Ah, that's the way." Feng bujue said in a proud tone,"if you want to suck up to me, just say it. If you were honest from the start, I might have considered it."

"So, what's your decision now?" Xu Huaishang seemed to be a little impatient and asked.

"It still doesn't work." Feng bujue's strength was rising.

"Why ..." Xu Huai Shang said word by word,"still, no, okay?"

"Because our club is not only low-key, but also very Democratic." Feng bujue replied,"I don't have the power to decide whether you can join or not. I have to ask the other members before I can give you an answer."

"As long as they agree, you'll agree?" Xu huaixuan said.

"Yes," "But ..." Feng bujue said,"it has to be the unanimous approval of everyone in the club. It can't even be denied with one vote."

"There are only five people in your club, right?" Xu huaixuan said.

"Yeah, that's why every vote is so important." Brother Jue replied in a matter-of-fact tone,"think of this place as the United Nations Security Council, and every member has the right to veto."

"HO~although I've never heard of such a rule in our club, since you've said so, I hope you can follow this rule in the future."

At this moment, another person's voice came from the communication channel.

The man's tone was ninety percent similar to brother Jue 's, but his voice was much better.

"Eh?" Brother Jue's first reaction was that he had heard wrong. 'What's going on? RUO Yu?"

"Brother Jue, actually, the four of us have been here since the beginning ..." Then, Xiao Tan's voice came from the other end.

"Where ... Are they?" Feng bujue asked.

"In sister Che's meeting room," Xiao Tan replied.

"You've found yourself another big sister in such a short time, right?" Feng bujue almost instinctively complained,"Speaking of which, you're home quite fast, aren't you? Don't you go to the toilet first after coming home from the hotpot? You came online earlier than me!"

The more he spoke, the higher his voice became, because he realized that his conversation with Xu Huaishang was completely under the watch of his four teammates from Hell's frontline. Although he didn't say anything out of line, it didn't feel good to be secretly monitored without knowing it.

"Then ... You should know the general situation, right?" A few seconds later, Xu Huai Shang's voice came back."If there's no problem with your ticket, please come to my meeting room and add me ... Leader."

…………

When Feng bujue was invited into Xu Huai Shang's meeting room, RUO Yu, Xiao Ling, Xiao Tan, and miss an had been waiting for him for a long time.

To brother Jue's surprise, goddess Xu had decorated her meeting room like a practice room. There was basically no entertainment. Other than the area around the meeting table, there was not even a place for him to sit down.

"Hmm ... So this is the conference room for professional players ... It's indeed a good reference." Feng bujue did not stand on ceremony after he entered. He looked around as he walked to the side and sat down.

"Not all professional players would set it up like this." Xu huaixuan said,"at the very least, the studio I worked in before didn't have any requirements for the activities of the players in the resting area ..." She paused and continued,"the current layout is just my personal preference ... Because sometimes I have to wait for others in the conference room for meetings, I feel that I have nothing to do, so I might as well use that time to practice."

It was obvious that Xu Huaishang, who was called a "genius" by [Zen dream], was not only talented in gaming, but also a very hardworking player.

In fact, she was probably the most hardworking player out of all the current players.

From the earliest era of e-sports where keyboard and mouse were used to develop to the future when holographic games were gradually becoming more and more popular, the discrimination against female players in the professional gaming circle had never stopped. With the change of time, people's perception was gradually changing. However, to this day, there were still many people who held the inherent impression that "female players 'gaming skills were definitely weaker than male players." As long as a female player was mentioned, their focus would first be on the other party's appearance, and then the sensational or distorted gossip.

Indeed, from the moment the video game was created, the overall strength of male players had always been overwhelmingly strong. It was even more so after the game field began to become professional. For a very long time, it was extremely rare for male players to lose to female players in professional competitions. Occasionally, a well-known male player would lose such a match and would be ridiculed until he retired. Even after retirement, the ridiculing would continue ...

However, in the era where Feng bujue's group relied on neural-connection technology to play the game, the number of female players and the overall strength of the players had been significantly improved, and this changed the situation.

Xu Huaishang could be said to be a banner-like figure of this era.

She was the first female professional player to win the honor of individual championships in an international competition, regardless of gender. At least in the middle of the 21st century, this was an unprecedented achievement.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, a girl like Xu Huai Shang only needed her face to live an "easy" life, but in reality, it was because of her appearance that her path as a professional player was even more difficult.

Without a doubt, even if Xu Huai Shang didn't want to, she would inevitably be "treated differently" on various occasions. Therefore, when she first started playing professionally, she was not only harassed in all kinds of ways, but also questioned.

She had been treated unfairly more than once because she had refused some unreasonable requests.

The glory that she earned through her hard work had been attributed to "appearance" and "connections" more than once. And ... Many people were willing to pay for those rumors.

However, she still made it through ... In the end, the game itself would not lie.

She had put in ten times, or even dozens of times more effort than others, to finally be recognized by the players on the game level, and to finally make people look away from her appearance and recognize that she was a professional player, and one of the top players.

Only Xu Huai Shang herself understood the hardships and bitterness of this journey.

Now, as a professional player, she no longer needed to prove her strength, but ... She still had one regret, and that was that she had not yet obtained the honor of "group victory". Therefore, by joining underworld frontline this time, she had placed a huge bet on Feng bujue and the others.

Of course, Feng bujue did not know about her experiences and thoughts. At the end of the day, brother Jue did not understand her.

However ... As a woman, RUO Yu's senses in this aspect were much more sensitive and sensitive than brother Jue 's. When she saw the news about Xu Huaishang's contract termination, she had already thought of something ... After a series of probing, although Xu Huaishang kept her mouth shut, RUO Yu understood that the trigger for Xu Huaishang and Hong Ying's contract termination was the decisions she made in the S2 match between Hong Ying and Hell's frontline.

After knowing this, RUO Yu's heart was filled with an indescribable feeling ...

"Speaking of which ... Will the characters in your account and these resources belong to you after the contract is terminated?" Feng bujue did not comment too much on Xu Huaishang 's' personal preference '. He quickly asked a question that he was more interested in.

"Yes, it's mine." Xu Huaishang replied,"however ... Before the contract was terminated, the studio had already used all sorts of methods to recycle all the resources that could be recycled. It had also greatly hindered my normal gaming ... So, ever since the level cap was opened, I haven't been able to train much."

"Oh ..." Before the man could finish, brother Jue had already figured out a few suspicious points that he had not figured out in linye town. He mumbled,"no wonder ..."

"Hmm ... In any case ..." Then, Feng bujue glanced at his friends."Since no one has any objections, shall I invite goddess Xu to join the group?"

"How about you first change the way you address me?" Xu Huai Shang continued.

"Hehe ..." When Feng bujue heard that, a wicked expression appeared on his face.

"If you dare to say that word that starts with 'four'..." RUO Yu was now at a level where she could read brother Jue's trash talk before it even came out."When we greet him tomorrow morning, there might be an uncontrollable physical conflict."

"Er ..." Feng bujue, who had been seen through, swallowed the trash talk that was about to come out of his mouth. Then he turned to Xu huaixuan and said,"then you can tell me how I should address you."

"You're older than me, so you can just be called Xiao Shang. " Xu Huaishang replied.

"Then, here comes the question ..." Feng bujue said seriously."In front of your brainless fans ... Like those personal guards, should I prepare a different form of address?"

"There's no need. No matter how you scream, their attitude towards you will still be 'death','must kill' and so on ..." Xu Huai Shang also narrowed his eyes and said.

"Haha ..." Brother Jue chuckled."Okay ..." As he spoke, he called out the game menu and gave Xu Huai Shang an invitation to join the club."Welcome to the big family of underworld frontline." He paused for half a second, then added,"of course, I can't guarantee that I'll be able to help you win the championship in S3."

"No," she said. Unexpectedly, before Xu Huai Shang could reply, RUO Yu used a very firm tone to continue,"we will definitely get it ..." She looked at Xu Huai Shang,"it's not us 'helping' you get it, but everyone will get it together ... S3's win."
