Annan was quite confused and had no idea that he had been labeled as "a failed kid addicted to games" and "the culprit who caused the video game crisis".

Qin Tian took a step forward and protected An Nan behind him with his backhand.

"Sir, please give way!"

"Sir, are you related to Annan? We haven't seen you among Annan's family members..."

Qin Tian said calmly: "I am his parent. Annan is not suitable for an interview right now."

"Mr. Macy hasn't arrived yet. You have no right to deprive Annan of his freedom to be interviewed!"

"You and Annan have different facial shapes and skin colors, brother, if you want to lie to someone, you should find a better excuse!"

The reporters were extremely dissatisfied with Qin Tian's behavior of obstructing their interview. They were filled with indignation and pointed their cameras at Qin Tian's forehead.

Qin Tian looked sad and said hesitantly, "Yes, our bloodlines are a little different. It's a sad story..."

At the scene, both the reporters and the onlookers had dazed expressions.

Chapter 256 [What does Texas think? ]

“I swear to our great country that I will strengthen supervision of the cultural industry after I take office. For the future of the United States and for our descendants, we must keep the beast of video games tightly locked in a cage. Young people need to dedicate themselves in factories and offices to make the United States great again!”

In the live video, the old man with a populist tone waved his fist and was heartbroken under the American flag.

Countless people in the audience cheered loudly, and some even picked up electric loudspeakers and waved several-meter-high American flags to add to the fun.

This scene doesn't look like a political rally, but rather a gathering of cultists...

But even if we take a glimpse of the situation, we can still see that conservatives resist and criticize video games.

Many people even directly called video games "destroying the peaceful evolution of the new generation" and "a trick used by foreign reactionary forces to try to undermine the United States" and so on.

Electronic games have become more and more common since the war, gradually replacing gambling, drugs, gossip magazines, and erotic movies to become the favorite of young people in Citibank, so they were simply blamed for the incident.

Just like when the hippies were popular in the 70s, conservatives tried to ban the hallucinogens that were called "drugs".

——Who said this thing is so popular!

And the gamers...

The players are fighting among themselves!

Nowadays, the group of players who care about this matter is generally divided into two factions. One faction believes that this incident was caused by Annan's disappearance, and this stupid kid must be tried and made to pay the price. If Annan had not risked running away from home, none of these things would have happened.

One group believes that Annan is not responsible at all, he is just a 14-year-old child! We should calm down public opinion now, and even publicize the story of the players' search and rescue of Annan to tell conservatives that games will not corrupt people's morals, games are not guilty, and entertainment is reasonable.

As for the second faction, it can be divided infinitely.

Those who want to give in and let the media show mercy;

Trying to speak out and use public opinion to peacefully fight;

I lost hope in this land and thought about how to run Europe;

And Qin Tian...

He is different.

He wanted to burn down the company buildings of those unscrupulous media first.

What he didn't expect was that this matter was even sold second-hand and wholesale in China and reposted by a number of public accounts.

Domestic netizens said they were just watching the show for fun.

"I think video games still have some merits. There was a game called Stars that popularized knowledge about the universe. It's a bit too extreme to simply dismiss it."

“What does Florida think?”

"Florida is also supporting restrictions on video games, but Texas is not making any moves, which is quite strange."

"It's no surprise that people in Texas are clamoring for independence."

"No, why are you all just having fun? If the game market at Citibank collapses, won't our industry also be affected?"

"No, no, no, brother. We have locked our borders with Citibank. Let alone the collapse of their gaming industry, even if their gaming industry disappears, we won't be affected too much. At most, there will be fewer fun foreign games."

"This is totally absurd. Fanxing is trying to enter the North American market, but I'm afraid it will fail this time. Some bigwigs estimate that Fanxing will lose at least tens of millions this time."

"Oh my god, with so much loss, Shibao is not going to lose her little pearl, right?"

"I suck, suck, suck. I'll lick as many little pearls as Shibao drops. I'll also lick Shibao's little jojo. I'll put the whole thing in my mouth and lick it! I'm Gu Qingshi's dog!"

"unbelievable"

..................

..................

Wow...

The aroma of tea filled the air, and Li Xiaomeng handed the teacup to Gu Qingci.

"Sister, drink tea."

"Thank you..." Gu Qingci was not good at speaking, so he nodded slightly and asked, "Is Qingshi not back yet?"

"Well, she should be dealing with the public opinion issues in the North American market. She has been busy for several days."

Li Xiaomeng told Gu Qingci what she knew.

“It’s really hard...”

Gu Qingci took a sip of tea, then put it down and sat upright like a virgin.

Only then did Li Xiaomeng realize that Gu Qingci's attire today was a little special, a deep green gown with a curved hem, a blue-patterned belt, and long hair as black as ink.

You are dressed so formally. Are you going to attend some important public event?

Li Xiaomeng's little brain was spinning wildly, but she couldn't figure it out.

After a while, Gu Qingshi's clear voice came from outside the door.

Sounds like a happy thing.

With a bang, the office door was kicked open.

A young girl wearing a brown short-sleeved shirt with Donald Duck print walked in.

Gu Qingshi closed her eyes and hummed loudly:

"The wind is rising! The clouds are flying!"

"How can I find brave warriors to guard the four directions?"

"Propaganda must be carried out at all times. There is no other way but to do it."

"Where is Li Xiaomeng?"

Gu Qingshi lifted her legs and turned around on the spot. Relying on her muscle memory, she found the sofa and leaned back to sit on it.

As soon as she sat down, Gu Qingshi instinctively felt that something was wrong.

How come my sofa has smart temperature control! ?

"Hmm?" Gu Qingshi sat on Qingci's lap and turned her head in confusion.

Gu Qingci said nothing, letting Qingshi sit there. He just reached out and hugged his sister around the waist.

Feeling each other's soft and warm touch, the two sisters trembled slightly at the same time.

......

"Well, that's it. Xiao Meng, go contact Reggie and ask her to find the editor-in-chief of Electronic Owl and add fuel to the fire of public opinion."

Gu Qingshi pointed at Li Xiaomeng.

Really, Qingci came without even reminding her...

Li Xiaomeng asked doubtfully, "Are we still going to go down? Boss, be careful or someone will target you."

Li Xiaomeng began to imagine that Gu Qingshi was targeted by the federal government and secretly arrested, and then interrogated in a basement.

"My body is still in China..." Gu Qingshi was speechless and reminded: "Don't be afraid, just stand on the side of the players. If we are banned by the Citi government, sales will probably increase."

Originally, the main target users of Fanxing were the hundreds of thousands to nearly a million Adventurer's Handbook players who had the leisure to play AR. Even if Fanxing was banned, they would be able to bypass the firewall and come to China to buy Baldur's Gate.

If Fanxing is banned, his name might be known to all Citi players.

——The first game manufacturer affected by the game ban!

Li Xiaomeng seemed to understand but just nodded.

After Gu Qingshi finished giving instructions, Li Xiaomeng ran out of the office.

Gu Qingshi drank a cup of hot tea and felt very relaxed.

Behind her, delicate hands pinched her face.

Gu Qingci said helplessly, "Now, can you get off my legs?"

Chapter 257 [The east wind overwhelms the west wind]

It is actually not accurate to say that Fanxing took action personally.

Fanxing is actually secretly stirring up trouble behind the scenes.

The situation in the United States is very special and is completely different from the situation in China around 2000.

When the "Blue Speed ​​Internet Cafe" incident broke out, the domestic gaming industry had not yet taken shape and the gaming community had little say at the political level.

But today's Citi is completely the opposite. Citi has a complete gaming industry chain and a very large group of game players in China. The combined force they form is fully capable of competing with conservatives.

It is absolutely impossible for the federal government to give up the gaming industry just because of the demands of the unruly people - this is not Cities, Skylines!

The speeches of those politicians are shit. I am afraid that not even one third of them can be implemented after taking office...

Therefore, this public opinion farce is destined not to achieve the results that the villains want.

However, for now, conservative forces still have the upper hand, and even biopharmaceutical giants and private medical capital have joined in to strengthen their momentum.

Well... these companies claim that Internet addiction is a mental illness that can only be treated medically if necessary, and then take the opportunity to launch Internet addiction treatment programs. They make a lot of money.

As the saying goes, either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind.
