Global Game: Crazy Mobile App-Chapter 66 - 64: Never Act Pointlessly Pretentious
The familiar shock style.
The typical clickbait opening.
Now self-media is becoming more and more shameless.
At first glance, this is something some immoral small editor came up with to grab attention.
Hang Yu was just about to scold the tail-wagging, shallow and startled dog, but suddenly noticed a detail: "Huh, strange, is this the official push from Jiang City’s Spirit Relief Association?"
This sensational push article.
Actually came from Jiang City’s Spirit Relief Association?
The Spirit Relief Association, having just been established, wouldn’t joke about its credibility.
The push was sent out only an hour ago, with over 100,000 clicks and over 10,000 shares.
From a marketing perspective, this is a viral post, but clearly, the Spirit Relief Association wouldn’t use this kind of event for marketing, which can only signify that this matter has caught the high attention of Jiang City’s citizens.
Hang Yu had locked himself in a room to refine medicine all night, and knew nothing about these events.
"I remember Teacher Su also invited me to explore the Riverside Road area?"
"Could it be related to this? It doesn’t sound like a coincidence."
Hang Yu rubbed his chin and pondered for a few seconds before quickly browsing through the content of the push.
Three days ago, multiple areas along the Yangtze River suddenly began to fog up, with a few particularly severe places where you could not see your hand in front of you.
The fog appeared without any scientific explanation, but how many of the things happening now can science explain? Relying on science now is less promising than hoping the national football team can lift the World Cup!
This matter initially did not attract much attention.
Until yesterday there was a major discovery which instantly caught countless people’s eyes.
Mysterious ghost ships of unknown origin appeared on the Yangtze River, with a few drifting to Jiang City, captured by several residents.
These photos and videos were uploaded to the Spirit Relief Association forum, and after one or two days of fermentation, speculations and rumors flourished. The Spirit Relief Association saw the significant discussion this caused, so they organized related information leveraging the hotspot and sent out such a push article through the public account.
"Ghost ships?"
"How could there be such a bizarre thing!"
Hang Yu was both puzzled and curious, unable to understand for a moment.
The Erha Spirit stuck its tongue out and brought its head over, reminding: "Woof, scroll down, there’s a video!"
Hang Yu pressed the Erha’s head, pushing the obstructive dog away, and then clicked open a few videos one by one.
Several videos were shot by Jiang City citizens from different locations, although all taken at dusk with a faint mist lingering over the river, not very clear, you can still make out the shape of the ships.
From structure, material, to appearance, they all have a magical realism style, with the main body made of wood, tall masts erected, a gigantic whale skull placed at the bow, festooned with strange and incomprehensible decorations.
Like straight out of a movie.
Modern people would definitely not use such a ship.
Such bizarre phenomena were seen by more than one witness, inevitably sparking online rumors and panic, after all, this kind of thing is an unprecedented oddity to people.
The relevant departments immediately evacuated residents from the Fog Area to ensure safety, while also assembling equipment and dispatching teams to seal off the Fog Area. The Spirit Relief Association also plans to organize several teams to investigate the situation.
"One thing is for sure."
"These are definitely not human ships."
"Ordinary monsters cannot build ships, so the only explanation is that some kind of Spirit Realm intelligent creature or a subspecies of intelligent creatures has been transferred to the real world. If that is the case, the situation becomes a bit complicated..."
The Husky couldn’t help but ask as Hang Yu mused to himself: "Woof woof, boss, could it be that our Earth is about to be invaded by aliens? I am not only smart and handsome, a talent among dogs with excellent speaking skills, do you think I might get dissected for research?"
Hang Yu glared at him.
"Have you been watching sci-fi movies again, dumb dog?"
"Whether aliens want to dissect you, I don’t know, but I am quite keen on dissecting you."
"Besides, whether you have brains or not, even if we are invaded, it’s by people from another world, not aliens."
"However, the fissures in the Spirit Realm are extremely narrow now; any excessively powerful entities cannot pass through the world barriers, so even if intelligent, sub-intelligent creatures are transferred nearby, at this stage they should be very weak."
"Woof, a false alarm, scared the dog to death."
The Husky wagged its tail happily and said: "Then this dog can peacefully continue playing games."
Hang Yu reprimanded: "What games, have you finished your studies, memorized your English words?"
"This dog has learned three hundred words today. Does the boss want to hear this dog’s pure London accent pronunciation?" Er Gou cleared his throat, preparing to perform, "Woof, this dog wants to sing an English country ballad for the boss!"
"Get lost, get lost, get lost!"
Hang Yu had no interest in hearing a Husky spew London-accented English!
Nor to hear a Husky sing any English country ballads!
After kicking the Husky out of the room, he immediately turned on the computer and logged into the forum. Judging from the discussion heat on the Spirit Relief Association forum, this matter indeed caused quite a stir in Jiang City.
After all, a ship is a creation of civilization. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Can its appearance be the same as that of a monster?
The significance is entirely different!
Mankind has not found any traces of alien civilizations in this world for thousands of years. If one suddenly appeared, history might be rewritten, greatly impacting things like religion!
Hang Yu quickly found the latest intelligence and videos on the forum.
It turns out, ever since the mysterious ghost ships appeared on the river spreading news, many daredevil thrill-seekers wanted to join the fun, and not long ago someone filmed a peculiar creature nearby, and uploaded the pictures online.
Judging from the pictures, it’s an ugly humanoid monster.
It is very short, with scales on its body, holding a weapon.
"Isn’t this a fishman slave?"
"So a batch of low-tier fishmen were transferred here."
"If it’s only monsters of this level, then there should be no problem."
Recognizing the monster, Hang Yu was immediately calmed and understood roughly what happened, then packed his equipment and left.
"Woof woof, boss, are you going out? Take this dog with you!"
Husky, hearing the commotion, nosily came over, with a new dog leash in its mouth, "Check out this dog’s new leash, high-end, stylish, and high grasp of class, it looks very handsome on a dog, especially fitting for the boss to take such a handsome dog like this dog for a walk!"
"I’m going to the riverside, do you want to come?"
"Woof?"
Upon hearing this, the Husky.
Stopped its chatter immediately.
And retreated several meters.
"Protecting Jiang City is everyone’s responsibility, since you have so much energy, you should come with me."
"Woof woof woof, the boss said it’s everyone’s responsibility, but this dog is just a dog, so definitely has no responsibility, it’s better for this dog to stay and guard the house." The cowardly Husky explained, "Woof woof, what’s with that look, boss? This dog just suddenly remembered there is an important meeting of the Dog’s Legion to attend, definitely not because it is scared and doesn’t dare to go."
The dog seriously defended itself.
Making one feel a pang of liver pain again.
Both cowardly and lazy, loves playing games, what the heck kind of dog is this!
However, Hang Yu hadn’t planned to take the dog along this time, otherwise, whether the dog wanted to go or not, it would have to go.
The Erha Spirit’s nose is very useful, but the riverside is surely filled with people from Celestial Net and the Spirit Relief Association, bringing a dog would be too conspicuous.
Hang Yu knew Su Yunbing was probably also exploring the Riverside Road area.
Frankly, having an alluring beauty accompany on an adventure is indeed something to dream of, even bad for your hormones, but this doesn’t fit with the low-key strategy Hang Yu set for himself, so he didn’t plan to contact the other party.
Hang Yu has Stealth skills.
Acting alone is more convenient.
Also, doing so aligns better with his personal interests.
The saying goes, don’t act in useless ways in life, and it’ll ensure you live to ninety-seven.
Hang Yu didn’t want to stand out too much in front of Celestial Net or the Spirit Relief Association, maintaining a necessary level of mystery was best.
