Chapter 35 (1/2)
Sacred Souls had finally begun its ascent in the forums, but Jiang Qiao never expected that it wasn’t the game itself that became popular, but a mere NPC.
In the VR online game sub-community, everyone was talking about Miss Doll.
The first post that Starlight Scribe had posted had already raked in more than 1200 replies, and because of this he started to focus on discovering more storylines and plots regarding Miss Doll, even using some items to tease her.
If it weren’t for the fact that Sacred Souls players were prohibited by the system to go too far with NPCs, these fellows might even turn Sacred Souls into an 18+ game.
With the continuing rise in popularity of Sacred Souls, the admins of the forum finally created its own sub-community for it.
Jiang Qiao had spent the whole night checking out the posts in this sub-community, whether it were complaints, strategies, or even random posts, Jiang Qiao checked each and every one out diligently.
This was the best way that Jiang Qiao could find the flaws in his game design and improve it.
The people that were rambling and complaining were mostly because there were too little activation passes, and so they couldn’t even play the game, but the strategies on this page increased too.
One of them was posted at eight in the morning, by an ID called SingingInTheRain.
The title was ‘[Jumping Nucleons Guild Original] About the stats of the new skins from the Faerie’s Closet collection, as well as the fastest way to farm for items in the new dungeon.’.
Jiang Qiao temporarily set aside the contents of the actual post itself, choosing to check the comments instead. The players in the forum were all well acquainted with the Jumping Nucleons Guild, as well as the person who posted this thread.
CommunityWarmth: ‘Boss SingingInTheRain posted a strategy? Is SC Nucleons going to start their conquest on Sacred Souls too?’
ShoelacePriest: ‘Is the guild accepting members in Sacred Souls now?’
The Jumping Nucleons Guild was one of the largest player guilds in Hua Nation, with its fingers in every VR game as well as a professional e-sports team to boot. They performed extremely well in War, but because of member changes in this year’s tournament, they couldn’t get into the world finals.
That being said, their popularity was still at the top of the bunch, with a large fanbase in the player community.
This sort of extension of popularity from the professional team to its guild was extremely common in the community, and there were seven to eight such guilds in Hua Nation. The most popular were the Kings Guild and the Jumping Nucleons Guild, and along with the Abyssal Shrine Guild they were the cream of the crop in the scene.
The name Abyssal Shrine itself seemed a little like what a teenager would have named it, but its professional prowess in War was even stronger than JC Kings, to the point where players jokingly called them an evil force to be reckoned with.
Now that the Jumping Nucleons Guild had posted a strategy regarding Sacred Souls, and with such a renowned member too, it gave everyone a hint as to what they were planning.
Firstly, that Jumping Nucleons was definitely going to sink its teeth into this game, and the second was no doubt a challenge letter to all its competitors.
