Chapter 1263: Origin Trial 2.0 Part 8
Wei Xing was truly exasperated when he learned of the culprits behind the negativity surrounding their short drama.
The first main culprit was Luther of the Miracle Pavilion, followed by the Zhao’s Brothers from the Necro Alliance.
What frustrated Wei Xing was that the power behind the Necro Alliance seemed more muddy than the Miracle Pavilion.
After all, according to the investigation, Luther was acting behind the Miracle Pavilion’s back as opposed to the Necro Alliance, who seemed intent on dragging the Vanguard Guild down.
’Hmph, none of you people are getting away with it.’ Wei Xing sneered inwardly.
He crossed his legs and promptly answered Jia Ling’s question. "I’m sure those who have watched the short drama all know how botched and ridiculous the negative reviews are."
"Is that so?" Jia Ling rubbed her chin, seemingly putting on a doubtful look on behalf of the doubters and haters.
"One negative review has claimed that the transmigration process was too abrupt and the fan service was close to being rated adult content."
"Too abrupt?" Amused, Wei Xing shook his head and responded, "This is a short drama, known for fast-paced elements to ensure viewers won’t have to see a dragging scene. If they really want it to be long, then they should watch a standard drama with 45 45-minute duration and not a short drama with 2 2-minute duration."
Nodding in agreement, Jia Ling found the answer logical. "Indeed, a short drama is meant for its fast-paced element and getting straight to the point."
Shortly after saying so, Jia Ling continued to address more negative reviews.
Each one of them was taken down successfully by Wei Xing.
As time went by, Wei Xing finally exposed something live on the screen.
"Sister Jia Ling, do pardon my interruption, but one of my members in the Vanguard Guild had discovered why there was suddenly an influx of negative reviews." Wei Xing raised his hand and halted Jia Ling’s speech.
"Oh, you mean there’s a mastermind behind this?" Jia Ling feigned astonishment and inquired curiously.
"That’s correct!" Wei Xing smiled and turned his face toward the camera. "Our Vanguard website is very sophisticated in its software and coding. Every new user registered would have their IP address locked in for data collection. Since then, our IT department has discovered most of these negative reviews stemmed from the same IP address."
Stunned, Jia Ling widened her eyes and inquired. "Mr. Wei Xing, are you not afraid that these malicious people might sue you for intruding on their privacy?"
Although collecting IP addresses of users for their website treaded on the gray line and couldn’t be considered illegal, the case was still debatable once it went to court.
As if to anticipate such a question, Wei Xing chuckled heartily.
"Sister Jia Ling is mistaken. The IP Address I mentioned is actually their Divine World Game ID!" Wei Xing explained.
"To drop any reviews for our short drama on the website, the user must register with their Divine World Game ID to post one. This was done to ensure that the viewers dropping the review cannot commit any malicious rating sabotage. As for those who didn’t play Divine World, they could still comment and interact with others."
Because the Divine World Game ID was unique and cannot be recreated, even if someone hired a water army to troll online, they were required to use their own unique Game ID.
Essentially, the moment they decided to drop a negative review filled with maliciousness, they had already exposed themselves in a wider network.
And just like that, a person watching the interview was livid.
Miracle Pavilion Headquarters...
"Fuck, this bastard guild actually had such a card??!" Luther cursed and slammed his fist on the desk. He hadn’t expected the move he used against the Vanguard Guild had actually backfired.
With their Game ID exposed, all the Vanguard Guild needed to do was post them online and have them condemned. By then, it didn’t take a genius to know that he would quickly be betrayed by them to protect themselves from the Vanguard Guild’s retaliation.
However, he had just held this mindset when the phone in his office rang.
Hearing the ringing, Luther hesitantly extended his hand to reach out and answer the phone.
"H-Hello?" Luther asked. This phone was connected to important figures only. In other words, any callers coming from here were people above him.
"Look at the mess you have created for us. The Miracle Pavilion shareholders have decided to suspend your authority and position until further notice." An elderly voice resounded before the call ended abruptly.
Despite the call being long over, Luther’s face was completely lifeless.
"Vanguard Guild... you sure know how to scheme deep." Luther’s eyes narrowed in a cold light.
While Luther was exposed as the main culprit in public view, Xu Feng remained unaware of the commotion caused by Wei Xing.
Instead, he was focused on synthesizing the cure.
Origin Trial 2.0, B3 Level, Laboratory Experiment
"Phew, it’s finally done." Xu Feng used his sleeve to wipe off some of the sweat on his forehead. The immersion and corrosion rate were really starting to take a toll on him.
From time to time, he would keep having nonsensical thoughts regarding his identity as Michael and not his real self.
Although it was indeed a perilous moment, Xu Feng must also thank the immersion rate, which allowed him to fully understand the medical devices in a rapid manner because of Michael’s original comprehension ability.
Xu Feng gasped for a deep breath, his hand holding a small vial.
Within the small vial was a tiny amount of liquid. Despite its low content, one shouldn’t underestimate its prowess.
This particular liquid was produced after numerous trials and errors.
It was capable of eradicating the parasite that was controlling the compromised Commander Anton.
With the cure on hand, all Xu Feng needed to do now was get a chance to approach Anton and forcefully make the latter consume the liquid.
’Seems like I can only take a risk...’ He closed his eyes and stored the small vial in his secret pocket dimension.
