[Little Gui's Livestream]
Little Gui was going through the storyline while also keeping an eye on the chat.
She saw many players criticizing the misdeeds of the company's Marketing Development Department.
Little Gui nodded in deep agreement!
"Regarding this matter with the company... I also have a say!"
"Back then, my hometown, Camelot, was completely destroyed by the Antimatter Legion, and I had to flee with my siblings to Humboldt—"
"It's a resource planet of the Interastral Peace Corporation."
"Several of my brothers and an old knight uncle were forced to become miners for the company."
"They were made to work non-stop every day and had to pay heavy taxes!"
"After paying the taxes, they barely had enough left to make ends meet."
"And that old knight uncle eventually passed away from overwork..."
Little Gui's voice choked up a bit.
But she's a professional streamer now.
She quickly adjusted her mindset.
At least,
She appeared to have returned to normal.
She slammed the table!
"So..."
"Some people in the company are really despicable!!!"
...
"Princess Guinevere speaks the truth!"
"I've read this part in Little Gui's backstory, and she's not wrong."
"Princess, forgive this old servant for being late!"
"If we lined up the employees of the Marketing Development Department and shot every other one, there would definitely be some innocent casualties, but if we shot every second one, there would definitely be some who escape justice!"
"Down with the Interastral Peace Corporation! Down with the Marketing Development Department!"
"Amber King above, please open your eyes! These people, under the banner of interstellar peace and Preservation, commit all sorts of evil across the universe, exploiting and oppressing at will!"
"Players, unite and boycott the company!"
Just as the chat was gaining momentum.
In the midst of the chat.
Some unusual voices suddenly appeared!
"I'm a company employee, actually... the company didn't want to do those things back then!"
"Right, many things were unknown to the company's higher-ups, it was the lower-level people who took action on their own~"
"I heard it was done by outsourced personnel and temporary workers."
"WDNMD! What kind of idiot actors and hired trolls does the company have? Boothill's backstory clearly states that it was Oswald Schneider, the head of the Marketing Development Department, who ordered the massacre of the Argon-Apache natives. And you're telling me it was done by outsourced personnel?"
"Do you think I'd believe Yu Ling, or a piece of AI trash like you?"
"Transfer me to a human!"
"** stuff! I ***!"
"Trying to steer the narrative with hired trolls?"
"Still trying to confuse the public and pass off fake accounts as real? Let me tell you, no way! All the players now can tell what's genuine business and what's just AI-driven noise!"
"Can you company dogs just drop dead already?"
"TMD, I can't take it anymore! Is anyone with me to take down the company!?"
...
Inside the company.
Player reputation control department.
All the supervisors were watching the situation unfold across various live streams.
Sweating bullets!
The hired trolls had barely surfaced when they were immediately swarmed by all the players!
They wanted to whitewash the company's image...
But instead!
It was like pouring oil on the fire!
The situation only got worse!
"Maybe... we should ask Aventurine or Ms. Topaz to step in and clarify?"
Seeing the situation was beyond salvage, an employee tremblingly suggested.
Immediately,
Other employees chimed in: "Indeed, these two directors still hold a lot of prestige among the players..."
"Now we can only rely on them to step in..."
However.
The supervisor glared at them!
"Are you an idiot?"
"Or have you never played 'Honkai: Star Rail'?"
"Aventurine would love to see the Marketing Development Department fall! Have you forgotten the Aventurine case in Eji Hazo?"
"He was supposed to be executed for defrauding the company, but Jade saved him, and he eventually became one of the Ten Stonehearts..."
"Topaz is also one of the Ten Stonehearts, and the three of them are as solid as a single Cornerstone! How could they possibly step in for the Marketing Development Department?"
"Hurry up, keep waking up more robots in the major live streams, keep whitewashing for me!"
"If this rhythm doesn't calm down today, both our performance and year-end bonuses will be completely deducted!"
Inside the meeting room.
Dead silence!
Like the calm before the storm.
On the screen in front.
Players' bullet comments were still popping up one by one!
More and more players who had been oppressed by the company stood up to speak out.
Suddenly!
An employee left their post,
stood up!
"I quit!!!"
"Those people in the Marketing Development Department, what's so hard about them!"
"All day long, they use public funds to eat, drink, whore, and gamble, each one of them fat-headed and big-eared, and we still have to whitewash for these people, shamelessly maintaining their image?"
"I feel like I'm just a pile of stinky, hard mud on the ground!"
"I can't do this anymore!!!"
The person in charge was so angry that his hands were trembling!
"Fine, fine, fine..."
"If you quit, there are plenty of people who will do it! You're fired!"
"Pack up your things now and go to the finance office to settle your accounts!"
The employee directly smashed the badge on their body!
Their eyes grew brighter and brighter.
As if something long buried had reawakened!
"Fired? Fine, I'll go online and expose everything about you here!"
"I'll make public all the injustice and oppression I've suffered here!"
The person in charge's face turned red with anger.
His entire body was completely red-hot.
As if his pants had been torn off in public.
But he still forcibly spoke in the tone of a superior: "You dare? This violates the contract, and you will be sentenced to over a hundred years in prison and a huge fine!"
Hearing this.
All the other employees who had been enduring it could no longer sit still!
One by one,
they all stood up!
"We quit too!"
"We are all human, all players! All Trailblazers!"
"Why should we endure this humiliation here?"
"How can we bow and scrape to the powerful, making ourselves unhappy!?"
"For a few measly Credits, my Trailblazing heart has been tainted!"
"Only today have I finally spoken my mind!"
"I feel like I've found my true self!"
"Let's all strike together, and if you have the guts, imprison us all! Blacklist us all!"
The person in charge was stunned!
A sea of black in front of him!
Everyone stood up!
His lips twitched.
He wanted to say something.
But in the end, he couldn't utter a single syllable...
His legs went weak.
He knelt on the ground!
"Wah wah wah wah wah..."
"Ahhh I didn't want to do this either!"
"It's all for the damn performance, the damn Credits, and that illusory future!"
"My hometown was acquired by the Trailblaze Department, and if I can't complete the tasks, my family will all be sold as slaves to other planets!"
"Damn Marketing Development Department, I will never coexist with you!"
