When Qihua Hua saw this post, the poster had already received a full 6833 replies!
Even in Mengjin, where the community is highly active, this level of popularity is extremely astonishing.
What's even more interesting is:
The poster is considered a minor celebrity in the player circle—
[Fallen Leaves in Autumn]
He once found the Golden Apple in the [Global Survival Competition] and later stood on the award stage in Mansheng Metropolis, receiving the titles of [Treasure Hunting Master] and [Honorary Player].
He even received the package sent by Zhumeng an hour earlier than Qihua Hua.
And he was also curious about the medium in the opaque bottle an hour earlier than Qihua Hua.
Initially, it was just a little curiosity.
But as he discovered that the bottle's weight was a bit strange, seeming much lighter than water; the pitch-black bottle was completely opaque, and even a flashlight couldn't penetrate it; the bottle mouth was sealed very tightly, and he couldn't unscrew it without tools…
More and more details continuously amplified his curiosity.
Like a small flame, it burned brighter and brighter after being fueled by time and details.
Ultimately, after sitting on the floor and staring at the bottle for 10 minutes, Fallen Leaves in Autumn succumbed to his curiosity.
"Just one look."
He consoled himself.
Naturally, he couldn't unscrew the cap.
He retrieved a knife, pliers, a wrench, and a screwdriver, and after much effort, he finally opened a small hole in the sealed, oddly shaped bottle cap.
Then, he heard a rapid sound!
A stream of air shot out from the opening, brushing past his face and spraying far away!
He was so startled that he gasped.
—No, half a gasp.
Having only inhaled halfway, he held his breath, afraid to inhale any further.
Zhumeng did say that this stuff was harmless to the human body, but inhaling a little bit at a time and inhaling half a bottle at once were clearly not the same thing!
He hurriedly ran out of the bedroom, locked the door, and ran to the bathroom to wash himself when he realized there was a problem:
He had turned blue.
—The half of his face that the air stream had brushed against, as well as a large tuft of hair, had turned a vibrant blue!
Fallen Leaves in Autumn couldn't understand!
The air stream that sprayed out was clearly colorless—at most, it had a slight, pale white hue, so why did it turn such a conspicuous blue after brushing against his face????
He scrubbed for a long time, trying clear water, soap, facial cleanser, and even toothpaste.
He rubbed his face until it was red.
But the conspicuous blue color didn't fade in the slightest.
Tears welling up, Fallen Leaves in Autumn had no choice but to take a selfie and post it on Mengjin for help—
[Brothers, I accidentally opened the bottled medium, and a lot of the stuff inside sprayed out, turning me blue, and I can't wash it off! Do I need to go to the hospital? Waiting online, it's pretty urgent!]
—
As soon as Qihua Hua clicked into the post, she saw a person with one half of their face normal, the other half blue, and half of their hair dyed in a blue, non-mainstream style.
She couldn't help but laugh out loud on the spot.
Scrolling down, the netizens' replies were also very enthusiastic:
"OMG! Where did this showoff come from?!"
"Dude, spending 1200 yuan for a hair dye is pretty extravagant!"
"Seriously, bro, you're asking us about this kind of thing? Ask Zhumeng's customer service!"
"Are you saying that you 'accidentally' opened the bottle with a knife, pliers, wrench, and screwdriver?"
"So, is the medium in the bottle blue?"
"Didn't you take the opportunity to taste it? Ever since I finished reading the instructions, I've been curious about what's in the bottle and what it tastes like."
"Holy crap, why are you guys still chatting? Hurry up and go to the hospital! It's best if it's a false alarm, but if there's a real problem, there's still time to save him!"
"If you ask me, since you've already opened it, you should take the opportunity to connect to the holographic device and experience the 1200-an-hour audio-visual effects."
…
"That was close!" Qihua Hua said with lingering fear after laughing, "Good thing I didn't open it!"
"This color, it really won't wash off, will it?"
However, a high-density, high-speed surge of the medium is another matter.
The specific principle involves secrets, so I won't explain it. I'll just say the result—
For the next half month at the earliest, and a month and a half at the latest, this blue color will not fade.
Finally, I wish you a happy new year, *pfft*!』
"What the heck is *pfft*?!"
"If you're going to explain something, then explain it properly!"
"Don't send voice messages in text!"
Fallen Leaves in Autumn broke down completely.
He only realized after being reminded by this person: the New Year is coming soon!
In other words, he would have to visit relatives with half of his face and hair blue for the entire New Year!
"It's over…"
Fallen Leaves in Autumn looked as if his parents had died.
…
The good news is: he's not the only unlucky one.
The chairman and deputy representative of New Force China were holding a multinational video conference in the afternoon to explain the performance, parameters, and usage details of the holographic device to headquarters, but even with a mask, they couldn't hide the bright blue color on their faces.
—It's not just players who are interested in holographic devices and disassemble them as soon as possible.
Many technology companies and internet companies—especially multinational corporations—have been keeping a close eye on them.
Their methods are much stronger than ordinary players.
Even though Xu Meng had secretly added restrictions—accounts with less than 80 hours of game time couldn't grab the first batch of 1 million devices—it couldn't stop these large companies from getting their hands on the devices as soon as possible.
But they were too impatient.
Plus, the overall sales process for the holographic device was similar to that of conventional hardware, which subconsciously made them feel that there was no danger.
Most ⊥ New ⊥ Small ⊥ Say ⊥ At ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ Book ⊥ ⊥ Bar ⊥ ⊥ First ⊥ Issue!
So, without bothering to find a professional laboratory, they disassembled it directly on the spot.
As a result…
Caught off guard, executives from various companies were successively hit!
By the time they realized it couldn't be washed off, it was too late.
This blue mark was destined to stay with them for a month.
The worst thing was that they couldn't possibly cancel all their work arrangements for the last ten days of the year.
This accidental fun was destined to span the entire Spring Festival!
—
At this time, the players didn't know that they would see more "Smurfs" in the future.
Their attention had already quickly shifted.
As the holographic devices arrived in large quantities, Zhumeng's New Year offensive officially began—
The [Life and Death Arena] event had already started at midnight last night.
The [Frost and Snow Project ] Spring Festival event—[Celebration Time]—also started at 10 .
Without thinking, Qihua Hua planned to log into [Frost and Snow Project] and spend the celebration with her holographic wife.
But three Admirals and 22 Captains popped up in the live broadcast room!
These Admirals and Captains unanimously hoped that she would participate in the [Life and Death Arena] event, and also stated that they didn't need her to play the [Expert] and [Unlimited] difficulties.
"Three Admirals, you just need to win three [Apprentice] matches!" The Admiral said in a low voice.
Qihua Hua relied on her fans for a living, so how could she really refuse the face of a patron like the Admiral?
Plus, she felt that the [Apprentice] difficulty shouldn't be too hard.
In the end, she mustered up the courage to log into Mansheng Metropolis and came to the [Fight Club].
…
The [Fight Club] occupied a large area, and each floor was very spacious.
As soon as Qihua Hua passed through the gate and saw the situation in the first floor's hall, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The players here were all playing small games that she was very familiar with:
"Hand Slapping" and "Drawing Straws."
"Is it just playing this?" Qihua Hua felt relieved and even a little excited. "I played this a lot when I was in elementary school! I'm super good at it!"
Although she cried when she played this as a child…
Unfortunately, the viewers immediately shattered her fantasy mercilessly—
"Wrong! This is [Baby Level], not [Apprentice Level]!"
"?" Qihua Hua was stunned. "What the heck is Baby Level?!"
Qihua Hua realized that she had been tricked.
She thought that this event only had three levels: [Apprentice], [Expert], and [Unlimited], so she mustered up the courage to play the simplest match.
Who knew that this thing actually had four levels!
"Then what does [Apprentice Level]… compete in?" Her voice immediately weakened.
"You'll know when you go to the second floor!"
The viewers urged her to go to the second floor quickly.
Qihua Hua walked up to the second floor uneasily and found that it was already crowded with players.
In the small circles surrounded by players, two players glared at each other while playing rock-paper-scissors.
The loser turned around and stuck out their butt.
The winner exhaled and mustered all their strength to kick them!
"Bang!"
"Ah!"
"Bang!"
"Ah!"
…
The heavy sound of kicking butts and the loud screams echoed in the second floor's hall!
Qihua Hua was dumbfounded.
"You want me to participate in this match?"
"Let me, a little girl, compete with people in kicking butts???"
