For Tianba Studio, having their games reported is nothing new.

But encountering such an absurd allegation like the one against "Mountain Village Memories" is rare, especially considering the reporter’s identity and the charge of "promoting feudal superstitions," which is simply hard to keep a straight face about.

With Ba not around, Huang Qing is like the boss of the studio, and he’s handling this issue.

For this, he’s only got one plan: ignore it!

What a joke!

If it were any other reporter making this nonsensical report, they would take it seriously. But getting reported by a bunch of "fraudulent" fortune-tellers, there’s no need to respond. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"We must clarify one thing: the divination function in ’Mountain Village Memories’ is not a hoax, but a scientific probability calculation!"

Huang Qing said seriously, "These fortune-tellers don’t understand science, nor do they understand what the internet means, which led to a misunderstanding."

It doesn’t matter if they don’t get it, as long as someone does.

This blame can’t be pinned on Tianba Studio; on the contrary, they can use this opportunity to further hype the "scientific divination" trend, drawing more attention to the game "Mountain Village Memories."

Victory, it’s a complete win!

It’s proven that Huang Qing’s handling was spot-on. When the news of fortune-tellers joining forces to report "Mountain Village Memories" hit the trends, it left the netizens in stitches.

"Hahaha, is this what you call a fit of anger after losing your job?"

"Perhaps these masters never imagined that one day a small program in a game would cost them their livelihood."

"Dying of laughter, couldn’t these so-called great fortune-tellers foresee this day? I was originally planning to get a fortune from a master for my wedding date and time, but now I feel it’s better to let ’Mountain Village Memories’ divine it for me..."

"Solid move, bro! Indeed, compared to those mystical masters, I’m more inclined to trust ’Mountain Village Memories’!"

"Indeed! Between practicing mysticism, do you trust these masters or a game by Ba?"

Ba is the real deal!

This sentiment resonated with many netizens after the news blew up.

Especially after seeing these normally "all-seeing, all-knowing" masters being put to shame by a game through many users’ satirical posts, their confidence was bolstered.

Mysticism, huh?

When it comes to mysticism, who you consult doesn’t matter; compared to these masters, Ba’s "scientific divination" is indeed more trustworthy.

Even though...

The divination function in "Mountain Village Memories" only seems capable of determining your gaming fortune, not predicting real-life fortune or misfortune.

But here’s the question.

Can these fortune-tellers precisely predict real-world fortune or misfortune?

They can’t either!

Fortune-telling has always been a mystical art, with no one daring to guarantee 100% accuracy. Since both are ambiguous and gimmicky, who you believe in is arbitrary, isn’t it?

At least "Mountain Village Memories" can assess your gaming luck, which these masters can’t. Just from this aspect alone, Ba has already won big time.

Initially, it was just a portion of netizens trying out "Mountain Village Memories" with a curiosity-driven approach, using the divination system to pick auspicious dates and times.

Later, as more middle-aged and elderly people got involved, the situation turned even more bizarre.

Young people generally don’t put their faith in mysticism. They simply find it amusing that if "Mountain Village Memories" can predict gaming luck, it might as well be fun to share it with their parents.

The middle-aged and elderly have different views.

Their acceptance of fortune-telling and mysticism far surpasses that of young people. Once they experienced the divination function in "Mountain Village Memories," they were astounded!

What is this?

There’s a game like this? A game that magically explains your future luck and misfortune?

This is incredible, truly miraculous!

Their level of superstition is beyond everyone’s imagination, and their application of the divination function in "Mountain Village Memories" left young people astonished.

Auspicious dates and times? Child’s play, really. In their household, no matter the event, big or small, they boot up the computer to consult the legendary master "Hu Xi."

Yes, Master Hu Xi...

The protagonist Hu Xi from "Mountain Village Memories," because of his appearance throughout the game, gained the respectful title of Master Hu Xi among older players.

Master Hu Xi is quite the sage, and his divination is guaranteed to be reliable!

The key is, he doesn’t charge...

"Isn’t that the most important reason?" said Old Luo, speechless.

Compared to the costly, and dubious real-world masters who rely on mystification to deceive, Master "Hu Xi" in the game not only provides accurate readings but doesn’t charge a penny.

No charge, accurate readings!

These aspects perfectly cater to the middle-aged and elderly penchant for bargains, which makes them trust Master Hu Xi’s trigrams unwaveringly.

"Any problems with this?"

Lu nodded and said, "Do you know what my dad does first thing every morning?"

"Don’t tell me..."

Before Old Luo could finish, Lu firmly declared, "That’s right, just as you thought, he starts the computer to divine a reading."

Astounding!

Lu was absolutely stunned by his dad’s thinking. Despite explaining multiple times that "Mountain Village Memories" is just a game and that the divination feature is merely a computer program,

it couldn’t stop his father, who was already hooked on "Mountain Village Memories," from trusting Master Hu Xi’s divination results wholeheartedly.
