"Achoo!"
On the other side, Lu Li, who was about to fall asleep, sneezed violently.
"What's going on?"
"Who's thinking of me again?"
...
As expected.
The video of Mo Zhi collapsing was uploaded to YouTube that afternoon.
The comedic effect of Mo Zhi raging and smashing his keyboard in the video was even more explosive than Dai Xiaomei's!
'The Dragon Country people are at it again. They must have discovered the traffic code!'
'This acting is too fake. Toriel is an NPC who interacts with the protagonist at the beginning. When I killed her, I was expressionless, but she burst into tears?'
'Silly boy, learn more Chinese when you have time. And finish the pacifist route before commenting on others, otherwise, you'll seem very slow.' 138 Reading Net
'Attention-seeking Dragon Country people, acting like clowns.'
'Trash video, I'm reporting it!'
...
Such comments not only appeared on domestic game forums but also on many foreign UP hosts and streamers who found it ridiculous.
Even some well-known debunking YouTubers directly live-streamed the genocide route of "Undertale," attempting to progressively verify the authenticity of the viral video.
Park Jae-kun from the country of Xi Ba was one of them; he was a relatively well-known streamer on YouTube.
Park Jae-kun directly changed his stream title to 'Live Debunking Dragon Country Game "Undertale" Related Videos.'
As soon as he started streaming, a large number of fans came to cheer him on.
'Ashiba! Dragon Country people are very skilled at fabricating. Quickly expose their true faces!'
'Okay, okay, I support the streamer in giving the Dragon Country people a good slap in the face!'
'Thank you, streamer. I'll have material to argue with the Dragon Country people again!'
Recently, "Undertale" had gained significant popularity on YouTube, with drastically polarized reviews.
Those who had played it and had a basic understanding of the plot found it quite good, considering it a game with a very forward-thinking concept.
Those who hadn't played it, or gave up after dying a few times without understanding the plot, found it terrible, useless except for its high difficulty.
However, people in Xi Ba and Nihon who were more reliant on the Dragon Country game market uniformly spoke ill of it.
Perhaps it was an international troll army.
"This is an English translated version I specifically asked a friend to find. Let me debunk it with solid evidence!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Park Jae-kun opened the fan-translated English version of "Undertale" that he had already downloaded.
It was a version voluntarily translated by game enthusiasts, with limited quality, but it was understandable enough to follow the plot.
Entering the game.
When setting his ID for convenience, Park Jae-kun directly typed: frisk.
The beginning was the familiar background introduction, which he skipped directly, casually explaining, "This explains why the protagonist appears in the underground, it's very ordinary."
Then came the part where he toyed with Froggit and killed Toriel, and just outside the Ruins, he encountered the Lesser Dog, which was second to last in stats, in Snowdin.
Park Jae-kun attacked with great confidence, as all monsters before Undyne could be one-shotted anyway.
Miss!
Park Jae-kun's smile instantly froze.
What the...?
Not only did the Lesser Dog easily dodge the attack, but it also landed a heavy blow. Park Jae-kun, whose stats hadn't grown yet, immediately perished!
What was going on?
Wasn't it a one-hit kill in the recording?
Park Jae-kun was bewildered but still forced himself to revive and continue fighting.
The result was still being instantly defeated by the Lesser Dog!
And again, he was defeated.
After dying multiple times, the viewers who came to laugh at the Dragon Country game were displeased.
'What's wrong with the streamer? So bad?'
'Streamer, go home and farm. This game isn't for you.'
'With this skill level, you still want to challenge Dragon Country streamers on the genocide route? You're not even fit to lick their boots!'
'Why is this different from the recording? What kind of trash are you playing?'
......
Foreign netizens were particularly ruthless when insulting. Park Jae-kun was berated by angry viewers but had no way to refute.
Confused, Park Jae-kun directly called the friend who provided the game.
The friend was also bewildered, saying, "My English translated version is fine. Other streamers playing it have no issues.
Don't believe me? Search for it."
Park Jae-kun searched for a small streamer under his company. At this time, he was also playing "Undertale" and fighting the Undyne, the warrior.
"Ashiba, Ashiba, what kind of difficult game is this!"
"This fish-headed person's attacks are like a war god!"
Then he searched for a few more people, and most streamers fighting on the genocide route were stuck at Undyne's stage.
As time passed, they all realized how absurd the game's difficulty was and how powerful that streamer was!
"Ahhhhh! I don't want to play anymore!!"
"Wtf! Is this game designed for humans?"
"Holy crap! Can this golden crystal arrow even curve??"
......
Various livestreams were filled with cries of misery and resentment. Only a few streamers playing the normal route were in better spirits, but seeing their red faces and emotional breakdowns, it was only a matter of time.
The "torture-style" game, as a new genre, was making its debut in the foreign market, and many players were not accustomed to this level of difficulty.
Even potentially talented players would need to play such games after they became widespread to be discovered.
Park Jae-kun looked at everyone's consistent progress, his face turning red. He then looked at himself. The Lesser Dog was still hovering in front of him, seemingly mocking him for being a weakling.
But where was the problem?
Just then, a comment floated by: 'Streamer, you might try to reload the save file and start a new ID. You might have accidentally triggered a secret.'
ID?
Park Jae-kun's eyes lit up. Right, he had used an NPC name for convenience, while others had random IDs.
Could this really be the case?
Park Jae-kun immediately deleted his save file and changed his ID to: ikun.
He continued playing.
When he encountered the Lesser Dog again, he finally managed to one-shot it.
Wow!!!
Park Jae-kun jumped up excitedly. It wasn't that I was clumsy; I was just brain-dead.
With his path cleared, Park Jae-kun seemed to have forgotten his original goal when playing the game.
At Undyne's stage, he put all his effort into trying to defeat this warrior.
The result was self-evident.
"Ahhhhh!! How is this woman so strong!"
"What kind of perverted level design is this!"
Before long, Park Jae-kun also became a member of the roaring squad, completely forgetting his original title.
Viewers who were looking for trouble were met with disappointment, as most casual viewers found it incredibly enjoyable!
Thus, an interesting phenomenon occurred: streamers who came to debunk the game gradually forgot their mission during gameplay.
They were brutally defeated by NPCs like Undyne, Asgore, and Sans, breaking down and flipping tables.
The viewers, on the other hand, watched one emotional, unscripted, large-scale breakdown performance after another.
Then, they provided countless materials to YouTube.
The popularity of "Undertale" soared, even surpassing the currently hottest game, "PUBG," during prime time.
Those streamers who intended to debunk the Dragon Country game were instead severely beaten by Undyne, Asgore, Sans, and others on their way to debunking.
Even though they couldn't understand the Chinese text, the extremely high difficulty levels still caused physiological breakdowns for the streamers.
It even spread to the domestic scene, causing the game enthusiasts to go wild.
After so many years, it was the first time they saw foreign streamers flocking to play a domestic game. It was not easy!
Just as everyone was sighing with emotion.
