Lin Dong was initially unaware of what was trending on social media.

He is just too busy.

He was a key member, or even the main person in charge, of the events surrounding "The Myth," "Journey to the West," and "Black Wukong."

Looking at the myths of his past life, all the projects were progressing steadily. Lin Dong was busy, but he was also enjoying it and felt a great sense of accomplishment.

This also meant that he stopped paying attention to trending topics and live streams during this period.

Mu Wanqing told Lin Dong about this when he was at home.

When Mu Wanqing called, Lin Dong answered immediately.

"Junior! Junior! Look at the trending topics! Something's happened to 'The Myth'!"

Mu Wanqing's voice came quickly from the other end of the phone.

"Something happened?"

"What could possibly happen to 'Mythology'?"

"Has the Heavenly Court finally been overthrown by the players?"

Lin Dong put down his work and spoke.

"No, it's not that. Something happened to the Yang Jian instance!"

"Yao Ji's death caused a player riot. Then, the players followed Yang Jian and finally managed to fight their way into the Lingxiao Palace, only to be kicked out by Laozi."

"Oh, just look at the trending topics and you'll see!"

Mu Wanqing spoke hurriedly.

Lin Dong was a little confused.

What is this?

Wasn't it expected that Yao Ji's death would cause an online uproar? What's so surprising about that? And what's with all the subsequent talk?

Lin Dong clicked on the trending headline to check the news online, but after reading it, he felt even more confused.

Lin Dong: "???"

After waiting for a while, Mu Wanqing, seeing that Lin Dong hadn't spoken, took the initiative to ask again:
"Junior, what are you planning to do?"

"By the way, junior, the NPCs you created can actually kick hundreds of thousands of players out of a dungeon?"

"This has gone beyond the scope of NPCs."

Lin Dong only came to his senses after hearing Mu Wanqing's words.

To be honest, he never expected that something like this would happen before it occurred.

It's just...

"What to do? There's nothing to do."

"It's normal, senior, don't worry, this is not beyond the scope of NPCs."

Lin Dong said firmly.

That's right, nothing needs to be done.

Although Lin Dong was also surprised by this, upon closer reflection, it was actually quite reasonable for Laozi to have gone this far.

Although it's a game, what Lin Dong really wants is to recreate the authentic mythological world of his past life.

It's perfectly normal for Laozi to do all this, so why impose restrictions?

Since it has already happened, let it be.

Moreover, Lin Dong even made up his mind that if a similar thing happened again in the future, he would not interfere.

"Alright, since you say so, junior, then I'm relieved!"

Hearing Lin Dong's words, Mu Wanqing nodded and said easily. She knew it; everything was exactly as her junior had predicted.

How could a junior possibly make a mistake?

Wang Xiaoxiao had come anxiously to ask her if it was some kind of technical mistake, but it was all just overthinking.

"Junior, now that the Yang Jian instance is over, shouldn't we release the next instance, or do something to minimize the negative impact?" Mu Wanqing asked again.

"Uh..." Lin Dong was a little embarrassed upon hearing this and didn't know what to say for a moment. After hesitating for a while, he finally said, "Let's wait a while, senior. There's no rush now."

To be honest, if a new dungeon were to be launched at this time, Lin Dong would be too busy to handle it all. His current focus is mainly on "Black Myth: Wukong".

In the game "Mythology," the developers were already losing control because of the players' reckless behavior. What would be the point of opening a new dungeon? They didn't even know if something bad would happen again after it was opened.

Not to mention, his next development strategy for "Myth" is to directly start a new chapter, rather than a dungeon, which would require even more work.

So let's push it forward first.

Normally, a game will have a period of downtime after a dungeon or event ends, but the continuous dungeon events in "Myth" were an exception.

“Okay, no problem.” Upon hearing this, Mu Wanqing naturally trusted Lin Dong unconditionally.

Although she knew that, logically, the most appropriate thing to do at this time would be to release a new instance while the iron was hot, to appease the players and arouse their enthusiasm.

But he's a junior! Can we judge a genius like him by conventional standards?

Just trust your junior; maybe he has a better way.

After chatting for a few more minutes, the two hung up the phone.

After the phone call ended.

Lin Dong also went to check out the comments on various trending topics on Toutiao.

He saw that some people supported him, some people were criticizing him, and some people were giving him all sorts of advice.

Similarly, he also saw some strange accounts posting strange comments, which made Lin Dong feel somewhat embarrassed.

[Jinghai University: Nothing to say! We support Lin! These haters are really making a mountain out of a molehill. But Lin, if you get tired of making games, you're welcome to come to our university for graduate studies!]

[Qinzhou University: Hey upstairs, I heard your plan at Qinzhou! If you want to pursue graduate studies, remember to consider your alma mater! We'll offer you a combined Master's and Doctoral program! And we'll arrange for Professor XX to be your tutor!]

[Imperial Capital Academy: Academician Chen of our school also greatly admires student Lin. If student Lin is willing, he can come to our school to study, and Academician Chen will personally accept him as a student.]

[XX University: You all lack sincerity. At Lin's level, do you still need to learn? Do you need someone to teach you? Our university is willing to sincerely invite Lin to be a lecturer at our university.]

[XX University: What future is there in gaming? If student Lin is willing to study at our university, we guarantee that student Lin will become a literary giant and leave a mark on history.]

[XX University: ...]

Despite the controversy surrounding "The Myth," a large number of prestigious universities, including Imperial University and Qin University, are using their official accounts to seize the opportunity to recruit people.

The comment section was filled with amazement, excitement, and delight.

Of course, this was not without reason. Lin Dong's "Journey to the West" had already gained recognition from many professors and academicians in the literary world. Later, the many poems in "Myth" made him famous and had an increasingly profound influence in the education field.

The key point is that Lin Dong is still young, having just graduated from university not long ago. Who wouldn't want their school to have such a student to enhance the school's reputation and prestige?

Many schools had been eyeing Lin Dong for some time, and his setback in the game gave them an opportunity, prompting them to quickly try to recruit him.

Games? What's so good about games?
You should be a poet whose name will be remembered for eternity, a painter whose skill will be unparalleled, and a musician whose talent will be extraordinary.

Which of these isn't better than games?

If Lin Dong could give up gaming and choose to dedicate himself to education, they would be overjoyed.

Young people, it's not impossible, is it?
Many netizens were amused by these comments until someone pointed out the pros and cons, and then they panicked.

Yes, Lin Dong has so many choices.

What if they get so angry about the attacks that they quit making games and go do something else? What will they play then?!
The thought of this.

Players who were initially too lazy to get involved in the flame war suddenly erupted and joined the fray. (End of Chapter)
