After seeing the brand new banner for the "Kings of War" section, players were excited and posted questions asking:
[Who is Qin Chao?]
The brave sniper and Brick Bro, Fang Shuo, are both old acquaintances.
One is the recognized "Dream General," and the other is a veteran former professional FPS player who has been hooked on "Project Frostfall" for the past few months.
It's not surprising that they were chosen by DreamForge.
But Qin Chao…
"Who is this? I've never even heard of this name."
Everyone opened search engines and major live streaming platforms to search, but the results were a bunch of people with the same name.
Civil servants, actors, doctors, teachers, students…
People from all walks of life.
It wasn't until Qin Chao actively stood up on the Bite People short video platform and released a short video of him visiting the club with Xu Meng that everyone finally locked onto the real person.
The [Ningzhou Military Push Club] he organized also entered the players' field of vision.
— Every video posted under Qin Chao's account included tags like [Military Push], [Wargame], and [War Games].
The brave sniper and Fang Shuo rushed to "understand their opponent" as soon as possible.
After watching just three pinned videos, they immediately realized:
"This is a formidable enemy!"
Qin Chao's three pinned videos, the first was an introduction to the Ningzhou Military Push Club and how to join, which was an advertising video.
The remaining two were—
[Yuanshan Hardcore 12-Hour Cross Day and Night Military Push Combat Montage]
[Ningzhou Tianyue Mall Nighttime Large-Scale CQB Activity Record]
The videos were full of intense running, shouting, and fighting.
After watching these two videos, both the brave sniper and Fang Shuo, as well as the viewers in their live broadcast rooms, were quite surprised:
"Military Push, this is the first time I've heard of this term!"
"I know a little bit about it. Isn't Military Push just a civilian version of military exercises?"
"According to Xu Meng, this guy is also a veteran."
"This physique, plus military experience, coupled with military push command and combat capabilities… It's going to be tough!"
"Tough my ass, there's clearly no suspense! He's definitely going to kneel!"
…
The brave sniper felt a lot of pressure, but of course, he couldn't admit defeat:
"I admit he's very strong."
"But this is a competition in the game! Game! Am I afraid of him in the game?!"
"Starting today, special training!"
"Camp shooting range, 5000 bullets every day! Let's get to it!"
…
The brave sniper worked hard to improve himself.
On the other side, Fang Shuo was dealing with an old acquaintance—
"Why! Why! Why isn't it me!!!"
Zhang Siming was going crazy.
He and Fang Shuo weren't familiar with each other before, but they became familiar with each other after simultaneously getting into "Project Frostfall" and being instigated by the viewers.
"I clearly initiated the [Three Kilometers a Day] challenge!"
Fang Shuo racked his brains for a long time before finally saying uncertainly: "If I had to say something, I participated in the flame war and helped DreamForge scold Yang Hui and those people?"
"?!" Zhang Siming perked up, "Then I'll go too!"
Fang Shuo was shocked: "What are you going to do!"
"The second you dare to jump out, your club manager will give you a flying naked choke!"
"Try it if you're not afraid of death."
"…" Zhang Siming thought about it and felt that the manager could really do it, so he gave up the idea.
"Then what should I do? I also want to fight! If I miss this time, when else will I have the chance to spar with soldiers?"
Zhang Siming really wanted to spar with retired soldiers.
He wanted to enlist in the army, but unfortunately, he was screened out during the physical examination, and since then, he has always had a complex feeling towards soldiers.
There is longing, envy, and deep regret.
Fang Shuo didn't understand these things and thought for a while before giving him a crooked idea: "Why don't you post a status and ask Xu Meng?"
Xu Meng's Weibo account was canceled, but his pilipili account is still there.
Although he rarely posts statuses, he often likes and replies to people, and with the support of "Project Frostfall's" popularity, he quickly accumulated million fans.
Zhang Siming felt that this idea was unreliable.
But with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living one, he still posted a status:
[@XuMeng, @DreamForge, @KingsOfWar, then what about me?]
At the end of the status, he also added an [I'm so pitiful] emoticon.
To his surprise—
In less than 5 minutes, Xu Meng popped up and replied to him!
"In order to present a wonderful competition to the audience, both teams will conduct centralized online training before the official competition. You are a professional player, where do you have time to participate?"
Zhang Siming sat in front of the computer, stunned.
After staying there for half a minute, he suddenly counted the competition schedule for the next few months, then suddenly slapped the chair and stood up, rushing out to find the manager.
At the same time, under Xu Meng's reply, a bunch of people ran over to show their faces.
Aside from the players who were simply joining in the fun, there were also several professional players.
And their messages were:
"Boss Xu! I'm not playing in the competition!"
"I'm not playing either! I have plenty of time!"
"Boss Xu, give me a word now, and I'll retire tonight!"
The latest novels are first published on !
…
Those who have retired, those who are about to retire, those in the reserve, and even those who are playing in the main team, all ran over to leave messages.
When Xu Meng saw someone suitable—good character, decent skills, and attention met the standards, he sent an invitation in the comments section on the spot:
"Okay, report your account, and I'll send you an invitation letter."
His operation instantly ignited the enthusiasm of netizens.
More people rushed to recommend themselves.
The scope of self-recommending players quickly expanded from professional players to game streamers, and then to other shooting game masters.
The popularity of the status posted by Zhang Siming rose steadily, exceeding 10,000 replies in a very short time.
Xu Meng continuously sent out 8 invitation letters in the comments section.
The blue team of the Blazing Flame Confrontation quickly grew!
Then, a special name jumped out—
[Nanshan]: "Boss Xu! Consider me! I used to be a professional player, and my level is definitely top-notch! I'm also a veteran player of "Project Frostfall" and a loyal user of DreamForge!"
Xu Meng felt that this name was a bit familiar.
Xiao Meng immediately helped him recall: "He used cheats in [Dragon Palace Treasure Hunt] and was thrown into the cheat server during the live broadcast!"
"But he has always denied it and sends us an appeal email every day, wanting us to release him and prove his 'innocence'."
"?"
A question mark appeared on Xu Meng's head.
He only knew the previous things, and he didn't know anything about the subsequent appeal emails.
Such a small matter would not be reported to him.
But—
"Where did this person get the face from? ?"
He picked up the keyboard and publicly replied: "Sorry, cheater streamers are not considered."
"? ? ?" Nanshan was immediately shocked into a cold sweat when he saw Xu Meng's reply.
He realized that something was wrong and subconsciously replied:
"I didn't cheat!"
Xu Meng replied at the speed of light:
"No, you did."
The netizens burst into laughter on the spot:
"Hahahaha! You deserve it!"
"Brother, what were you thinking? You dare to jump in front of Xu Meng?"
"DreamForge didn't bother with you before, you should have been secretly happy, but you ran to jump in his face? You're purely tired of living! !"
"Okay, the mystery is completely solved, and it's officially confirmed! Sue Xu Meng if you don't agree!"
…
Nanshan finally woke up from the illusion he had woven and realized that DreamForge's lack of response to his appeal was not intentional connivance by the official, nor was it to protect him for traffic.
It's likely… that the customer service was simply too lazy to deal with him.
He hurriedly deleted his comments, wanting to pretend that nothing had happened.
But how could that be possible?
"Screenshot and keep evidence" is also a traditional skill of ACG players!
Soon, this screenshot was spread everywhere.
When Nanshan remembered another important thing and logged into "Project Frostfall" in a panic, he found that he could no longer log in.
His account was banned.
At this point, the matter was completely settled!
—
When Zhang Siming presented the facts, reasoned, racked his brains, and exhausted his saliva, and finally persuaded the manager to return to the computer to refresh the comments section, what he saw was this scene.
"I… what did I miss? ?"
His face was full of suspicion about life.
"I was only gone for a while, and Boss Xu sent out 11 invitation letters! ?"
"And by the way, he hammered a cheater to death?"
"No, this is my comments section! I haven't gotten the qualification yet!"
"Are you polite? ! !"
