192: Chapter 192 International Popularity

Before the Japan viewers could continue their tirade.

The amphibious landing craft carrying Pun: No-Pants had already reached the shore.

He looked up at the hilltop, knowing that the Imperial Japanese Army's positions were up there.

"Baka! The Chinese have ill intentions. Why can't we choose the defending side? We are subjects of the Great Japanese Empire; how can we fight against our own soldiers?" Pun: No-Pants' face darkened, his tone filled with anger.

His words immediately struck a chord with the Japan viewers in the livestream room.

"Right, I'm going to leave a negative review for this game. Why can we only choose the attacking side and not the defending side?"

"And this game ending—how could our Great Japanese Empire possibly lose? We have nukes too."

"What is MeeLeeSoft anyway? Our Imperial Army is the strongest."

Before Pun: No-Pants could finish reading the comments, he was pushed forward by an NPC soldier behind him.

Behind him, there were quite a few soldiers standing still, refusing to move just like him.

These were all Japan players; players from the same country would be matched together.

Generally, there wouldn't be situations where players from different countries were teamed up, unless there was truly no one else available, in which case a few players from other countries would be assigned.

"What are you standing there for? Are you scared? Those monkeys on the other side are nothing to be afraid of! Charge!" A MeeLeeSoft officer shouted from behind Pun: No-Pants.

Hearing the officer's words, the Japan viewers in Pun: No-Pants' livestream room were in an uproar.

"Baka! This white-skin actually called us monkeys."

"Unforgivable! They must die, die, die!"

"Negative review! Must leave a negative review! I'm going to buy the game just to leave a negative review!"

"Don't buy it. This is a Chinese game; if you buy it, you're just giving them money."

"How can I leave a negative review if I don't buy it? I'll request a refund right after I leave the review."

"No, that won't work. I've tried it."

"Baka! The Chinese are truly detestable. I'd rather spend the money just to leave a negative review!"

At this moment, a Japan player who heard the officer's words raised his gun and shot the officer.

The officer immediately fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Pun: No-Pants also picked up his gun and fired at the MeeLeeSoft officer.

"Shit, what the hell? What are those soldiers doing? They're actually killing their own commanding officer."

"Shit! They're afraid of battle and have mutinied. Kill everyone who doesn't dare to charge—leave no one alive!"

Just as Pun: No-Pants was feeling a sense of satisfaction, a gunshot suddenly rang out from behind him, followed immediately by a sharp pain in his back.

Then he collapsed to the ground, blood flowing.

His gaze caught sight of the MeeLeeSoft soldier who had fired from behind.

All the Japan players who were standing still and not moving forward were killed.

Seeing this, the other Japan players didn't dare to stop again and hurriedly charged forward.

Fighting the devils is just fighting the devils; this isn't reality, it's a game.

These Japan players used this reason to frantically hypnotize themselves.

They didn't want to be killed. Even though it was a game, it was too realistic.

They felt it was so real it didn't seem like a game.

Pun: No-Pants watched as everything went black before his eyes, and then a panel popped up.

Intentionally harming a friendly officer, executed by the enforcement squad. Game rating: 4 points.

"Baka!"

"Gibberish..."

Pun: No-Pants felt the world spinning; he was so angry he nearly fainted.

This score of four was an insult to him.

The Japan viewers in the livestream room were also filling the chat with profanity.

Pun: No-Pants cursed for several minutes, only to find that the livestream room had gone dark.

"livestream room has been banned..."

Meanwhile, in the livestream room of another MeeLeeSoft game streamer.

As a major MeeLeeSoft game streamer with ten million followers, Land had heard about this game long ago.

When he learned that the game was about the war between Japan and MeeLeeSoft in the Pacific during World War II, he became very interested.

He had watched the closed beta and open beta videos from within China, and after itching to play for so long, he finally got to play the game.

"Brothers, this game is incredible."

"Sure enough, actually playing it versus just watching it with your eyes is a completely different feeling."

"Woohoo, look at this sea breeze, so fresh, so real."

Land spread his arms while standing on the landing craft, feeling the sea breeze hitting his face.

"Brothers, this is the smell of freedom."

"This game is truly unbelievable."

"I'm so envious that Chinese players were able to play this game more than a week early."

In Land's livestream room, there were not only MeeLeeSoft viewers but also viewers from Germany and the Commonwealth.

Seeing the game's graphics, they were all extremely incredulous.

"Oh, my God! Is this game really this realistic?"

"I believe it now; I'm going to go buy the game and play it too."

"It's time for our game developers to learn from this Chinese game; what they make is truly garbage."

Land watched as Iwo Jima drew closer; he had never heard of this island before knowing about this game.

But after knowing about the game, he specifically searched for this island.

He discovered that there was actually a garrison on this island.

This island was indeed a relatively important hub in the Pacific.

"Haha, let's beat the hell out of those Japan players." Land said, raising his gun.

When he landed on Iwo Jima, stepped on the soft beach, and smelled the scent of gunpowder on the shore, his eyes widened instantly.

"My God, this game even simulates the sense of smell; it's done so realistically."

"The sense of touch, the feeling of pain, is also so real."

"My God, how on earth is this done?"

Land was shouting and exclaiming, and the players beside him were equally amazed.

At this moment, in a Chinese livestream room, the stream was broadcasting Land's gameplay.

There were tens of thousands of viewers in the livestream room.

When they saw Land shouting and exclaiming, acting like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.

They inexplicably felt a sense of pride and superiority in their hearts.

"Hahaha, these foreigners have never experienced the good stuff."

"Yeah, look at them shouting and exclaiming; it's so fun to watch."

"We've already experienced it for a week, and they're only just now getting to play."

These viewers kept sending comments, completely forgetting how incomparably shocked they were when they first experienced this realistic game.

In Wang Ye's livestream room, Wang Ye had already started playing ranked matches on the International Server.

For this first ranked match, he was on the attacking side.

The attacking side was all Chinese players.

And the defending side on the opposite was Japan players.

Wang Ye didn't expect to be matched against Japan in his very first game.

When they learned that the opponents were Japan players, all the Chinese players were extremely excited.

"Haha, Brother Wang, now we have to beat the hell out of the Japan players."

"Right, let's just crush the Japan players and send them packing back home."

"We've been playing for a week already; we'll definitely crush them."

"Didn't the Japan players curse so much? Why are they playing again?"

When the Japan players on the defending side learned that the opponents were Chinese players, they all started clamoring.

"Baka! The opponents are Chinese players; don't let them push up!"
