The game was causing a lot of buzz, and with real video footage available, many people were curious about it.
Only a small number of people still doubted the reality of holographic games, thinking that the game company was just buying the trending spots.
Hanjun had no idea when his game became a trending topic, but since people were questioning it, he decided to confirm it for them.
He registered an official StarNet account for the Game Company and re-uploaded the promotional video he had made earlier.
Then, he created a hashtag and boldly pinned it to the trending topics list.
When netizens noticed this, they suddenly understood what was going on.
[ Haha, the game company is clapping back! Do you think I bought a trending spot? Well, I'll just buy one for real! ]
[ I love a game company that's this straightforward. ]
[ The promo video is so cool! But I saw on the official website that the game is still in beta test? Why not pick a few more beta test players to keep the excitement going? ]
Hanjun's newly registered account quickly gained 20,000 followers.
Is this what trending traffic looks like?
But Hanjun also saw a familiar comment.
[ Mister Trouble Maker: Scammer, you're back again? ]
What was even more surprising was that others replied to this comment.
[ Kimchi Pancake King: Expert, you're back again? ]
[ Chicken is Truth: Keyboard Warrior, you're back again? ]
[ Mister Trouble Maker: Why can't I be here? I want to see when this game company's scam will be exposed. ]
[ Kimchi Pancake King: So many videos have been released, why don't you believe it? How about you try the game yourself? ]
[ Mister Trouble Maker: No problem. If the official gives me a beta test spot, I'll log in and check if it's real. If it is, I'll apologize. ]
[ Chicken is Truth: ...I think I've figured it out. Is this Keyboard Warrior just trying to get a beta test spot in a roundabout way? ]
[ Cute Villain: You can drop the question mark, this is definitely about getting a beta test spot. I didn't think gaming would get this competitive. ]
[ Mister Trouble Maker: ...Maybe you all have a reading comprehension problem. ]
After that, no one replied.
Hanjun was amused by these comments, but he still had work to do.
Hanjun quickly posted on StarNet about the upcoming new beta test players selection, urging everyone to sign up on the official website.
The trending topic's popularity quickly came in handy, with most of the comments under the post saying things like "Let's go!"
Only one person cautiously asked, "How many beta test spots are being offered this time?"
Hanjun generously replied, "We're selecting 30 people."
The netizens immediately responded with a bunch of question marks.
[Is it just 30 spots? Are you serious about making this game? With the beta test going so slow, when will the official release be? ]
[ Aren't you guys afraid of going bankrupt? What good is just 30 spots? From the videos, it looks like the game doesn't even need more testing. Just launch it already, I can't wait any longer. ]
