Chapter 14: The Forum's Public Opinion Storm!

  Where there is good fortune, there must also be bad fortune. If a person's life were entirely smooth sailing, that would be the most abnormal situation of all.

  However, before that situation arose, the three members of the "Game Lovers Club" were sitting around a round table in the family restaurant at the entrance of the college, each having ordered different set meals.

  Zuo Yu ordered a plate of duck egg fried rice, Hai Cheng ordered a pizza and planned to eat it all by himself, while Lin Xuan only ordered a small hamburger and a cup of orange juice.

  The three of them had some free time to come here for a meal, aside from the gap between sales times, Sosuke also planned to discuss their future plans with the two.

  "Fate/Stay Night" is currently selling well, but if the sequel isn't as good as the first one, it won't just lead to a loss of popularity, it will also affect future development.

  "With just the momentum of uprooting a willow tree, everything can be overcome."

  Sitting across from himself, fiddling with his computer, Haicheng expressed his own views. In his eyes, as long as he worked hard, he could accomplish anything.

  For example, making a desperate effort can defeat the nearby boss and become the BOSS of the hooligans.

  "Don't treat Chinese culture as something to be used for your own convenience!"

  "President, actually my eyes can see the 'death' of things. I receive the concept of 'death', which has no physical form, as visual information. How is that?"

  "'The Evil Eye of Instant Death' wouldn't work on someone like you."

  "How to say, I also quite like that game, in the past when buying a computer, it was downloaded into the file."

  Hai Cheng pressed Enter, inputted the program and started debugging his self-made search software.

  Although Hae Castle looks like a very cool and mischievous guy, he actually has a very keen insight and operating level in computer aspects. For example, the programming that triggers events in "Fate/stay night" and the picture movies are all made by him.

  Lin Xuan, who was originally tidying up her hair that had just been blown into a mess by the wind, also joined in on the conversation between the two.

  She clapped her hands on the table like a child and changed into a slightly lighter tone.

  "I've also heard of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, I recall it being the ability of the main character Shiki Tohno from Tsukihime. It's said that along with Touhou Project and Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, they are known as the three big miracles of Japan's doujin game world."

  In this world, some famous things don't exist, but some things still exist.

  Through investigations over the past few years, it can be seen that in one's own parallel world, some things are only a third of what they were in the original world.

  In other words, Sosuke has the ability to create two-thirds of the remaining miracles.

  So far, Hai Cheng and Lin Xuan have both undergone Sosuke's 'brainwashing', not only learning a lot of related knowledge but also accepting a large amount of otaku culture.

  The two of them did not show any disgust towards it and had even gone to the cinema together to watch "Spirited Away" and cried together.

  This otaku culture is not something that can be understood overnight, and in this era, most otakus will not be understood, even in a country with the richest and strongest otaku culture.

  Suo Yu saw that the waiter had brought up the ordered dishes and waited until the waiter left before continuing Lin Xuan's conversation.

  "Tsukihime, with its unique worldview and intricate plot, has become the main sponsor of this game competition. TYPE-MOON's masterpiece, through its complex and tragic interpersonal relationships, story background, and special love and sex expressions, allows players to experience multiple aspects such as fantasy, mystery, fighting, romance, etc., making it an excellent work."

  "That kind of club with many outstanding talents is different, excellent as it may be, we can't lose on our side either. So what's the reason for the president to gather us together this time?"

  "Of course we are discussing a sequel to Fate/Stay Night."

  The sentence stunned both of them for a moment, and Lin Xuan asked while picking up the hamburger with her hand:

  "So fast? If the sequel is made too quickly, won't it lead to a decline in the quality of the work? We're already exhausted with just three people."

  "That's right, but this time it's not about making a text adventure game, but rather a fighting game."

  "Fight game?"

  As soon as he mentioned this, Hai Cheng immediately stood up his bangs and made a fierce look.

  "Is it like KOF 97? Arcade fighting game? F.T.G.?"

  "Yes, it can also be played on PS2 or PSP platforms. As for the name, I've already thought of it a long time ago. What's needed now is the production and planning of the program, let's take it one step at a time."

  "What an amazing company president!"

  Haicheng sincerely expressed his admiration.

  Lin Xuan suddenly clapped her hands together and pointed at Sosuke saying

  "The footsteps in the game 'Fate/stay night' are quite rich and interesting. Without mentioning how Sōichirō was created, I couldn't understand at all how he managed to sing that song last time. Are you hiding some secret from us?"

  "Don't look at me like this, I'm actually a person who loves learning."

  "It's just a learning waste..."

  Being scolded by two quasi-academic tyrants like this, it's indeed a bit heart-wrenching.

  No way, no way, no way.

  In his heart, he imitated the tone of a proud warrior and let out a sigh, and Sosuke decided to answer Lin Xuan's question.

  As long as it's sincere, even a lie is okay, right?

  I also watched a lot of them before crossing over, and it seems that none of them had this scene.

  The male protagonist's friend suspects that the male protagonist suddenly became so intelligent and outstanding, what's going on? How did he do it? What's the reason? What's the purpose?

  At this moment, Sosuke thought of an answer.

  "I'm actually from the future."

  "Hai Cheng, give me some of your pizza."

  "Stinky brat! Give me your hamburger!"

  "You'll finish it in one bite! Stupid idiot!"

  "Don't ignore me!"

  Sosuke, who was called out, received a "Are you stupid?" look from the two of them. It seems they didn't believe his words at all.

  Forget it, Lin Xuan waved her hand.

  "This isn't important, what's important is what comes next, our game is about to be sold for real! Who will get the first figurine we made?"

  "It's just bad luck."

  Zuo You couldn't help but swallow the duck breast meat in one bite.

  Just then, Hai Cheng suddenly stopped and put down the pizza in his hand, his eyebrows furrowed.

  "What's wrong? Haicheng."

  Hearing the shouts from left and right, Haicheng swallowed the folded pizza directly.

  "Just now when I was bored, I took a look at that new forum called 'Night of Destiny', and as a result, I saw some troublesome things."

  "What?"

  "Our game was reported as being plagiarized."

  "What's going on?"

  Sosuke had investigated before production that "Fate/Stay Night" does not exist in this world, so why would it be said to be a copy.

  If my own idea is correct, the reason for this public opinion is probably that someone with ulterior motives has done a good job.
