Chapter 719: Chapter 535: Restless and Uneasy
The Martial Forum is the world’s largest forum with real-name registration, boasting over seven hundred million registered members. If we include the international version, the membership exceeds 1.5 billion.
Regardless of whether they are Martial Artists or Demon Spirit Masters, even elementary school students with no combat skills enjoy diving and surfing on the Martial Forum.
The Martial Forum sees over a million posts published every day.
In the past, if someone asked how much attention a post could attract?
Then tens of millions of clicks, a million comments, and hundreds of thousands of shares would already be peak data.
This kind of attention is reserved for world-impacting news, like when the World Alliance announces the King Becoming plan or the annual Glory League championship battle post.
Only once or twice a year.
The Martial Forum has never had a post exceed two hundred million clicks, eighty million comments, or twenty million shares!
But today, such a miracle appeared before the eyes of over a billion online users.
And to complete this incredible miracle, it took less than an hour.
In one hour, the number of clicks: 221,230,000, comments: 86,520,000, shares: 27,920,000.
The unbelievable numbers left the staff watching the screen shocked, hardly daring to believe their eyes.
At this moment, the number of people online on the Martial Forum reached 250 million, while previously the highest was only 13 million.
One post increased the number of online users over tenfold.
"Keep an eye on the backend, don’t let the system crash!"
This is an unprecedented record for the Martial Forum, and the manager was under immense pressure.
If the forum crashed, he’s not sure if the boss would let him go, but it would definitely be the biggest disgrace of his career.
"It’s truly the Avengers Alliance."
All sorts of data and the number of online users continued to rise, and while the manager was drenched in sweat under immense pressure, his blood was also boiling with excitement.
How to take revenge, you decide!
Simple nine words, yet full of dominance!
The title was simple, and the post’s content was equally simple, less than a hundred words.
The gist was that the Avengers Alliance would respond to the alien race based on the top three highest-voted comments suggested by netizens within three days.
Because the World Alliance announced the closure of 2,000 Space Gates, coupled with Shangjing’s assault, some were angry about the casualties, while others were anxious and fearful for their safety.
Many more felt hopeless and confused about the future.
But at this moment, upon seeing the post by the Avengers Alliance, all negative emotions seemed to vanish in an instant, replaced by a fervent and boiling enthusiasm that seemed to set everyone ablaze.
Netizens vented their suppressed emotions and anger through comments.
"If someone else said this, I’d just laugh it off without speaking, even if it’s the World Alliance, but they are the only exception!"
"A blood debt must be paid in blood!"
"For every casualty we suffer, we repay it double!"
"Ordinary people suffer in blood debts without meaning, if you kill, then kill big figures or geniuses, only then will the alien race feel the pain."
"It has to be the Avengers Alliance, no matter the difficulty, you can always trust them."
"Don’t know why, but I have an urge to cry."
"Can you imagine? They’re only in their twenties, some haven’t even graduated college."
Netizens were frantically posting comments, some venting their emotions, some rambling, and others seriously suggesting.
At this moment, the comment [A blood debt must be paid in blood, repay it double] received 24,210,000 likes, ranking first.
[Massacre the city] received 19,370,000 likes, ranking second.
[Brutally kill a hundred alien geniuses] received 13,890,000 likes, ranking third.
[Kill ten Kings] received 5,780,000 likes, ranking fourth.
The top four comments, with the highest number of likes, essentially meant the same thing: a blood debt must be paid in blood. Only the targets of revenge were different.
"The fourth one is very difficult."
Ye Qiu said, looking at his phone.
Killing ten Kings is not only very difficult but also highly dangerous. Luckily, netizens were rational, and that comment’s likes didn’t make it into the top three, soon falling to fifth place.
"People just need a way to vent their panic and anger, the method doesn’t actually matter to them."
Lin Feng said.
Slaughter isn’t the goal, revenge is.
But the methods of revenge often involve slaughter.
"No need to watch it anymore, there are three days left."
Lin Feng put down his cup and got up to leave the room.
He promised his mother he’d go home for dinner.
"I’m heading back too."
When Lin Feng left, Yang Ningbing and Zhan Tianyu followed suit. Their homes were in Shangjing, and except for gatherings, they usually went home for meals.
....
As the meeting reached a deadlock, and major figures and strongmen were at their wits’ end, the post by the Avengers Alliance was causing nationwide, even worldwide uproar.
The problems they struggled with seemed to be instantly resolved.
"Good!"
At that moment, even Hong Tao couldn’t help but clap and say "good".
Having netizens come up with revenge methods was indeed a brilliant plan!
Not only did it capture the attention of the entire nation, but it also diverted people’s attention.
In this meeting, everyone felt troubled, not because it was impossible to do something.
But taking action as a country for revenge would trigger a series of chain reactions, possibly causing premature war, making it hard to conclude, and further destabilizing social order.
If it were by force, by a single alliance, there would be no such concerns.
"It truly is the Avengers Alliance!"
A King marveled.
He wasn’t just impressed by the clever method.
Facing the Divine Martial Continent, daring to publicly announce a plan for revenge at this moment, only the Avengers Alliance could do it.
An alliance without even a King, yet not only possessing glorious battle records but also such courage, truly impressive and making even him, a Guardian, feel inferior.
Regardless of whether this plan succeeds, just having the courage is remarkable.
"They’re all patriotic prodigies, each one of them is outstanding."
"What dominance, even as an old man, I feel a boiling enthusiasm."
"The Avengers Alliance, the aim of their establishment is precisely revenge!"
People discussed fervently, all praising the Avengers Alliance.
Listening to the surrounding praises and acknowledgments, Yang Qing and Yang Qingtian’s expressions seemed calm, but their emotions were extremely complex.
The better the Avengers Alliance developed, the more dazzling their achievements, the more they regretted and felt awkward.
They couldn’t imagine that when netizens found out that the exceptionally gifted and gloriously accomplished Lin Feng was actually an abandoned illegitimate child, how much criticism, ridicule, and cold irony the Yang Family would face.
Thinking of that potential future scene, even as Kings, they felt uneasy.
