134: Chapter 134 The Biggest Flag in History!

The moment the video was released, countless fans drawn in by the title and FGO players instantly flooded the comment section.

The video's opening had no flashy special effects.

Only Lin Lu's slightly hoarse yet profoundly sincere voice slowly emerged:

"Hello everyone, I'm Lin Lu."

"Over the past month, I've turned down almost all movie premieres and business events, locking myself in my room like a madwoman to play a VR game called Fate/Grand Order."

On screen, accompanied by the tragic and stirring BGM of Camelot, epic CG scenes flashed one after another.

"I used to think games were just cheap dopamine extractors."

"But today, I must apologize for my past arrogance."

"Camelot is the pinnacle of classical tragic aesthetics; while Babylonia is the final, most tragic epic swan song of the Age of Gods!"

For the next eighty-plus minutes, Lin Lu, from her professional film critic's perspective, meticulously dissected FGO's terrifying script structure.

"Look at this cinematography in Camelot."

The scene cut to the moment Arash released his Noble Phantasm. Lin Lu's voice was filled with professional certainty and fervor, "Gu Yi used an extremely oppressive deep-focus low-angle shot here. In the sky is the blinding white light representing divine punishment, while on the ground stands a small yet resolute mortal."

"This extreme compositional contrast, paired with the gradually zooming-in close-up, elevates the tragic grandeur of 'a mortal body rivaling the gods' to its peak!"

It wasn't just about cinematography; she also deeply analyzed the mythological metaphors hidden behind the Servant classes.

"Many people think Servant classes are just simple rock-paper-scissors, but look closely at Chapter 7."

Lin Lu pulled up Gilgamesh and King Hassan's battle data panels, circling key points one by one:

"Gilgamesh's transformation from the arrogant Archer to the Caster protecting Uruk isn't just a change in artwork. It represents his evolution from a self-centered tyrant to a Wise King who shoulders the history of humanity!"

"And King Hassan, as an Assassin, could bestow the 'Concept of Death' upon the immortal and indestructible Mother Goddess of Creation. This perfectly aligns with the Assassin class's origin of lurking in shadows and delivering a single, fatal strike. Gu Yi seamlessly integrated dry numerical design into the very core of the myth!"

She even extracted core text from several Singularities and performed a word-for-word comparison with The Homeric Epics and William Shakespeare's classical tragedies.

"'Wandering knight, your thousand-year atonement shall ultimately become a silver arm illuminating the starry sky'... Can you believe dialogue filled with this sense of destiny and classical tragic beauty actually appears in a tower defense game?"

This kind of overwhelming, hardcore, and professional praise not only left viewers outside the fandom stunned but also gave countless veteran FGO players immense satisfaction.

It felt as if a treasure they had secretly cherished had finally received official recognition from a world-class art master!

The barrage was uniformly filled with: "Lu Lu is amazing!"

"This cinematography analysis and class metaphor are so professional! I was just yelling 'holy crap' when I played!"

"You really need a professional to know how to hype something properly!"

"Old Thief Gu, pay Lu Lu her money!"

However, in the final five minutes of the video...

As the stirring BGM slowly faded, the screen froze on the inside of Chaldea's Central Control Room.

It froze on the back of that pink-haired man eating a strawberry cake.

Lin Lu's tone shed its previous fervor and sharpness, becoming calm and gentle.

"After experiencing the despair of Camelot, I once thought this game was only about cruel sacrifice."

"I also thought Gu Yi, the producer, must be a heartless devil."

"But after completely clearing all seven Singularities of Part 1, I've come to feel that the producer at Chaldea Studio is, at his core, an extremely gentle person."

In the video, Lin Lu confidently planted a flag.

As a first-time player who insisted on "no spoilers," she gave her most sincere evaluation.

She was completely unaware that she was personally pushing herself toward a terrifying abyss.

"You see, no matter how cruel the Singularities outside are, no matter how powerful the enemies, no matter how many partings and deaths we experience..."

"As long as we complete the mission and push open the door to Chaldea..."

"There will always be a gentle Dr. Roman, holding his beloved strawberry cake, smiling at us in the Control Room and saying, 'Welcome back, you've worked hard.'"

Accompanied by Lin Lu's soothing and sincere narration, the video screen gradually darkened.

Then, in the center of the pure black screen, accompanied by crisp mechanical typing sound effects, a heavy subtitle slowly appeared:

[Dr. Roman is the final harbor in this masterpiece for us players, and the only warmth in this cruel world.]

The text slowly faded, and Lin Lu's voice, tinged with a smile, came through as the video's conclusion:

"As long as the doctor is there, what is there to fear, even if there are more difficult Singularities in the future?"

"Tomorrow at 8 PM, I will officially begin the final battle strategy for [Grand Temple of Time] on my livestream!"

"I'll take my doctor and Mash to beat up the mastermind behind the Incineration of Humanity! Everyone, see you then!"

...

The video ended abruptly here.

Yet, it was precisely this final five-minute "heartfelt confession."

It plunged the entire barrage comment area into an eerie, deathly silence.

Then, like a dormant volcano erupting violently!

A dense barrage of comments completely submerged the entire screen, leaving not a single gap!

They were from tens of thousands of veteran players who had already cleared the [Grand Temple of Time]!

They were the victims who had personally witnessed "the time for parting has come" and cried their eyes out in real life!

At this very moment, watching Lin Lu in the video, her face full of happiness, confidently declaring the doctor was the "final harbor,"

The corners of all the veteran players' mouths simultaneously curled into a smile filled with goodwill, yet one that was utterly wicked to the extreme.

"She loves him so much."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes! Lu Lu is absolutely right! Old Thief Gu has a huge conscience. There are no knives in this game at all, it's all sugar! (Through gritted teeth)"

"Brothers, type 'protect Lu Lu' on the screen!"

"My God, what kind of fate is this, to plant such a huge flag for yourself the day before entering the Temple of Time?"

"I'm already imagining it. When Lu Lu sees the doctor take off his glove tomorrow night, will she pass out from lack of oxygen on the spot?"

"Where are the roommates?! Someone, quick! Call an ambulance to Lu Lu's building tomorrow night in advance!"

Amidst this sky full of wicked barrage comments, even Lin Lu's roommate Chen Jiajia joined in.

Watching her close friend's deeply affectionate demeanor in the video, Chen Jiajia covered her face, feeling a mixture of pain and glee. A tiny, tiny bit of guilt surfaced in her heart:

"It's over, it's over... I swore a poisonous oath to her that the ending was HE just to trick her into experiencing the knife..."

"If this young lady has a mental breakdown tomorrow, she'll probably come after me with a kitchen knife..."

Within just a few hours, Lin Lu's review video was wildly shared, directly landing at the top of the trending charts across the entire internet!

The tags below were even more absurd to the extreme: #Lin Lu Professional Review# #The Biggest Flag in History# #The Whole Internet Awaits Lin Lu's Mental Breakdown#

By now, the reservation count for Lin Lu's livestream had surpassed an astonishing five million!

Besides fans, even countless outsiders looking for amusement were preparing to pull up a chair tomorrow to watch the "spectacular performance" of this aloof, beautiful streamer.

...

Meanwhile, at the top floor of Chaldea Studio in Tianhai City...

Gu Yi leaned back in front of the wide curved screen, holding a glass of iced cola, watching Lin Lu's video with great relish.

Especially when he saw the final segment, that textbook-level "flag-planting" speech, he couldn't hold back and let out a "pfft" laugh.

"What a sin."

Gu Yi chuckled and shook his head,smoothly (casually) setting a special notification for Lin Lu's livestream.

"Since you've set the mood so perfectly..."

"Then for tomorrow's final battle, if I don't serve you an extra-large, high-definition, immersive knife, it would be a disservice to all this love you're pouring out."
