Su Mingan opened a pack of grass candy that Duoya gave him before leaving, stuffed it in his mouth, browsing the recent trends of the World Forum.

The white cat screamed in aggrievedly on the ground. He never got tired of it and stuffed it into the pet bar.

But after a while, the white dumpling jumped out again. Perhaps it knew the danger of touching his bed, so it chose to run to the wooden table next to it and lie down.

The room became quiet, with only the crisp sound of biting the grass candy.

"..." Su Mingan's fingers stroked the interface.

Judging from the World Forum, the overall public opinion trend is much more positive than when the Sixth World just ended.

He remembered that at that time, the World Forum was almost full of posts looking for relatives, help-seeking posts, adventure players went crazy posts, casual players talked about fear, and some posts mixed with self-harm images and threatening to commit suicide in the square.

Even with the intervention of large organizations and trying to appease the public, this is not the cyberspace of the past. People cannot delete other people's posts, and public opinion cannot be controlled at all. Posts that spread panic are like mushrooms springing up after a rain and cannot be controlled at all.

At that time, whether it was the online world forum or the offline main god world, there was an atmosphere of panic and crazy. Many people launched panic attacks, and many people committed suicide in full view of the public.

Some adventurers who have just returned are all over their body, scaring many casual players who are still eating melons.

The opening of the auction house and the timely "hero plan" of the joint group barely suppressed this atmosphere.

Now, when you look at it, there are almost no extremely negative posts.

Su Mingan looked at it and was all about celebration posts such as "Celebrating the New Year!" "Human progress bar has grown so much!" "Player survival rate is so high!" "Good!"

When browsing posts, he even saw some strange posts, such as ["The World of the End of the World" ignited the public beta], [the medium-sized series "White City Fantasy" was officially launched, with the growth experience of a young man from the outside of the White City as the main line, and a saving epic...].

Various mini-games, TV series, movies, novels, and comics are emerging one after another. The entertainment that was originally suppressed for a long time slowly rises and appears in people's sight.

Outlook on the future, heroic pursuit of players on the list, rational analysis of the Seventh World, excitement of the end of the year... These topics surrounded the corners of the forum and looked at it with peace of mind.

But Su Mingan knew...the beauty on the surface is the most terrifying beauty.

The organizers like to play some tricks of playing first and then suppressing, and having a hit. Their bad taste is quite strong and their tastes about human emotional contrast is quite different. They will not be happy to see players so happy.

After Su Ming'an browsed the recent forum movements, he suddenly saw a special-category partition that seemed particularly conspicuous in the vast post.

Specialized partitions require casual players to use points to open them, which will appear particularly conspicuous on the homepage and are generally used to hold some large-scale temporary events.

The reason why Su Mingan saw it at a glance was because the post was posted with a photo of himself...

[(Hot)(Add to the Essence) December 31st - The pillar of the peak strength layer, the fire transmitter in the darkest era, the guide to the future of human beings - belongs to the world, and our first player to celebrate the birthday!]

...

This is an index post.

There are links to posts about various "birthday celebrations" activities in the post, and it seems that there are at least a few hundred activities.

Some people want to gather in teahouses and taverns to celebrate remotely, some want to gather at the guild's resident to record birthday videos, some people want to collect the entire elderly care service area, dance and sing all night, some people want to hold a "lighthouse gathering" and share their respective lighthouse theories all night, and there are also "strategy groups" of hundreds of high-level professional players in life, and even "first player" cos groups, who want to join the group to participate in the "World Game Culture Annual Exhibition"... (that is, what Lin Yin mentioned as the "World Annual Comic Exhibition".

This post can almost be said to be the most popular post recently. It ranks first in the popularity rankings of the World Forum, with tens of millions of replies, some of which are echoing, some who want to sign up, and some who complain that "really treat the number one player as a god"... Of course, there are also messages like Noel.

[Nor v (World List 2): Wow, what a pity, you can celebrate remotely, Su Mingan and I are going to play alone.]

As soon as he said this, he still felt very hatred as usual, and there were tens of thousands of replies listed below.

The whole world wants to celebrate his birthday, and Su Mingan is the last person to know about this.

He looked at this post, and there were a lot of comments under it.

[Thank you for invitation, I am ready to move. I have already pulled my family to gather in the teahouse, planning to celebrate my birthday in the New Year.]

[People are on the street, so the merchants here are really good at playing. Are you treating Su Ming'an's birthday as a hot topic? I saw that the streets were full of banners such as "To celebrate the first player's birthday, 20% off the whole audience"... I was speechless.]

[I think other players on the list are not so powerful in celebrating their birthdays. Why is Su Mingan celebrating his birthday worldwide? I think many large organizations have to send gifts and post celebration posts on their leaders' accounts.]

[As the first player, it should, it should. Who made him extremely powerful? I am still very surprised. Compared with the second and third player, his first influence is so great that I can't understand...]

【It is indeed because many people really like him.】

[Maybe it's because he really has no background behind him? No one wants to offend him, and no one wants to win him over. The United Group seemed to have intentionally praised him before. At the end of the Sixth World, many people were talking to him.]

[Is he really amazing? If someone really can go to the end, it must be him! After all, anyone can see that his copy is not on the same level as others. I feel that if he is at the t0 level, then Edward and others will be at most t2, with a long paragraph between them...]

【Stop it if you are insulted and love.】

【Eni cried after hearing this.】

[Eni? Who? Is the unit of measurement of combat power? (Dog Head.jpg)]

[Shhh, shhh, this post is top 1 in the world forum. Many players on the list have moved in. Maybe there are people like Aini, be careful of their words, be careful of their words...]

【…】

Su Ming'an closes the World Forum.

He had some speculation in his mind.

...In fact, from the remarks in the post and the overall positive direction of the World Forum, we can see that someone has intervened in public opinion.

——This should be the result of the so-called "Hero Plan".

Regarding the attitude of the first player, the United Group obviously adopted the method of "neither slandering nor believing" but building momentum for him.

They are drawing a conclusion to the majority of players that there will be more and more "heroes" like him in this world.

As the leader at the beginning, he was also the most dazzling and powerful one. He was also one of them.

But at the same time, they did not mean that they did not ignore him and wanted him to be among the heroes.

Instead, they seem to take it seriously.

The reason for this is that the identity of the "first player" is certainly his identity is his performance in the dungeon and his innate topic.

He is a student from the Dragon Kingdom.

He is the representative of "ordinary people". He seems to have no background behind him, but he can go all the way to this day.

Some people will doubt his purpose, but more people will feel empathy and intimate.

Not to mention, his attitude towards NPC and the lighthouse theory he mentioned are influential and topical, because the public likes to read this set.

——Because the public likes it, they need it, and because they need it, they must pay attention to it.

While controlling negative public opinion after the Sixth World, the extremely topical existence can well divert people's attention and avoid mass collapse.

It happened that at the end of the year, the frequent festivals appeared, which aroused people's emotional emotions. It was also the birthday of the topic, and many people were building momentum for this birthday.

Then adding fuel to the fire and combining this day with many years of activities is a win-win situation.

It will act as a chain of chemical reactions, which will remove people's attention from sad things and avoid chaos.

Moreover, the first player itself is also a person who prefers adventurers, which is in line with their value concept of "adventurous players are more useful than casual players". They can take the opportunity to beautify and slightly change the so-called "lighthouse theory" to allow this extremely hot topic to guide other players' actions.

One kills two birds with one stone, and one kills one stone.

For the overall situation, this is an action that is not a loss.

When Noor's communication came, Su Mingan analyzed these to him.

"..." Noel's eyes shifted slightly, looking thoughtful.

"Is that true? Su Ming'an." He said: "This is the result of your thoughts after reading the birthday post?"

"Yes." Su Mingan said: "You should be similar to what I thought? It is not difficult to launch such a thing. To be honest, I am not disgusted with it. In this way, it can not only enhance the influence of the 'first player', but also suppress the depressing atmosphere after the White Sand Paradise, and promote the lighthouse theory, so that they can more easily confirm the grading, and the overall progress bar will also..."

He said a lot, but Noel sighed.

"Stop talking," he said.

"Hmm?" Su Mingan was stunned.

"Stop talking." Noel smiled: "I think they made such a birthday post, which probably made you think about this, right?"

Su Mingan looked at Noor's face in the picture.

Noel seemed to be still busy at this time, his hands were shuttled through the silk thread, as if he was making some small toy.

The golden bangs fell on his forehead, and the pair of butterfly-like eyelashes trembled. He suddenly raised his head, with a subtle helplessness in his eyes.

"Su Ming'an." He said: "I think, the original purpose of this post...is probably just to make you happy."

Su Ming'an: "..."

Su Mingan: "Is that true?"

"Look, they are quite good at playing, aren't they? I heard that many small groups have included various areas, such as amusement parks, commercial streets, and scenic spots... They are all for the purpose of decorating the so-called birthday places. Even if they know you are likely to not see them, they will gather together, sing, dance, record videos from afar, and celebrate your birthday." Noel smiled: "Including this post, it is actually just a gathering place for enthusiasts at the beginning. Even if there are many pushers behind the scenes, most of them are purely loved - everyone really wants you to rest and really wants you to be happy."

"..." Su Ming settled down: "Actually, I understand too."

It’s not that he doesn’t understand this.

It’s just that his thinking inertia makes him subconsciously consider the overall situation.

He subconsciously began to summarize the impact this activity had on the entire people from the perspective of the United Team and others.

So much so that his vision could not be reached for the first and most sincere purpose of this people.

"Su Mingan, actually... I'm actually quite sad after seeing these."

Noel suddenly said this:

"Not for the rest, reputation, influence, honor, the title of the number one player... It's all good, they just need to use it. But, but this is just a simple birthday for you... Why, why do these guys make this matter complicated, and make it full of purpose and extremely utilitarian? These guys, they even add fuel to your birthday..."
To be continued...
