421: I know I was wrong!

It is said that the student who broke things that day later compensated for all expenses at market price.

What a joke, how could someone who plays games not be able to afford that much money?

Not only should they compensate at the original price, but if needed, they could even pay double. The key is that such discriminatory remarks cannot be tolerated.

If you can mock Duan Xinya and look down on us today, then others will be able to gossip about other people in the future.

We must firmly oppose it from the very beginning!

Besides, they aren't breaking any laws by playing games, so why should they be called 'fat otaku' or 'good-for-nothings'?

They haven't stolen or robbed; they are using their actions to vindicate themselves!

The real problem lies with Duan Xinya; she is the culprit!

As soon as the article was published, its shares quickly exceeded ten thousand.

These fans also gradually realized that things might not be as simple as they seemed on the surface.

After all, these bloggers have always been rigorous, never spread rumors, and have a good reputation.

Compared to those who started speaking out in support of Duan Xinya based on fragmented information, they were clearly more convincing.

Many who had previously spoken on her behalf began to reflect on whether their stance was too one-sided.

Just as public opinion was turning, an old interview was re-uploaded online!

In the video, Duan Xinya appeared very arrogant when facing the camera, bluntly calling Ouyou and Dungeon & Fighter players 'trash' and 'dead otaku,' her tone filled with sarcasm and ridicule!

After this video was leaked, it completely ignited public opinion online.

For years, everyone had been accustomed to echoing others, ignoring that sometimes bad things truly might have more than one side!

Those who originally stood with Duan Xinya fell silent, especially some viewers who were loyal fans of the game; they retaliated with even greater anger!

"What was I thinking? I thought she was the victim, but it turns out she was the source of the problem!"

"My apologies, everyone, I was deceived and shouldn't have sided with her."

"From today onwards, I officially declare: Duan Xinya deserved to be beaten!"

"Oh my god, someone actually insulted us old fans like that? This cannot be tolerated!"

"Who is this person? How dare she insult Ouyou? She probably doesn't even know how many loyal fans this game has!"

"She must apologize!"

"Guys, I found Duan Xinya's university forum, let's take collective action and teach her a lesson!"

"That's right, words must come with responsibility! Everyone must be accountable for what they say!"

At the height of the storm, those who had originally stood with Duan Xinya began to retreat one by one.

In a short period, Duan Xinya became the focus of everyone's attention!

Not only that, but a large number of Dungeon & Fighter and Ouyou fans united, creating an astonishing momentum.

Within half an hour, various pieces of information about Duan Xinya were successively exposed!

[Duan Xinya, twenty years old]

Her school, major, social situation, even how many boyfriends she had, and how many times her relationships had flip-flopped, all were dug up.

Some information about her family was also made public, but regarding her parents' information and address, netizens were quite discreet and censored it.

This was their bottom line. Even to vent anger, family members could not be involved!

Duan Xinya, who thought the storm had passed, was currently catching up on sleep.

The high-intensity mental stress of the past few days, along with the continuous tidying of her dorm, had truly exhausted her.

Just as she finally managed to get some peaceful sleep, her phone rang again.

She frowned as soon as she heard the ringtone and hung up directly.

Before she could even doze off for a second, her phone rang again!

She hung up again.

It rang again!

After three back-and-forths, Duan Xinya completely lost her temper!

Lack of rest, combined with days of pent-up frustration, erupted all at once!

With a bang, she directly turned off her phone and threw it forcefully towards the foot of her bed.

No one was going to disturb her sleep!

Just as she was about to lie down again—knock, knock, knock!

Someone knocked urgently on the door!

Duan Xinya was the only one in the dorm, so she had no choice but to suppress her anger and get up to open the door.

"Who on earth is it—"

Before she could finish her sentence, several strangers squeezed into the dorm.

Woken up and already in a bad mood, she was even more displeased to see these unidentified people barging in.

"What are you doing?"

"Are you Duan Xinya?"

A girl wearing a yellow jacket, who looked to be around the same age, asked.

Actually, she had already confirmed it before coming.

Duan Xinya's various photos were all over the internet; no matter how much they were retouched, she could be recognized as the person in front of them.

Hearing the other party call her by name directly, Duan Xinya immediately became nervous.

She quickly realized that these people must be looking for her because of the Dungeon & Fighter game incident.

Although she was furious, she dared not cause any more trouble.

The previous lesson was still fresh in her mind, and she didn't want to experience the devastation of her dorm being ruined again.

Since the last incident, her roommates had ostracized her.

It wasn't that her roommates were heartless, but rather that they worried she might speak carelessly again and implicate everyone.

Her roommates had even requested to move out of the dorm, which had given the school administration quite a headache.

So now, she was the only one left in the entire dorm.

Her current situation could be described as being under attack from all sides and isolated without help.

Realizing this, Duan Xinya quickly softened her attitude: "Excuse me, everyone, is there something I can help you with?"

The girl in the yellow jacket spoke in a serious tone: "Did you say bad things about our 'Ouyou'? I'm a law student, and I can sue you."

She was actually representing the player community in saying this, but Duan Xinya, who hadn't studied law, couldn't distinguish the nuances, and upon hearing 'sue,' she immediately panicked.

"What should I do?" she asked anxiously.

Before she finished speaking, with a 'thud,' she knelt on the ground:

"I'm sorry! I know I was wrong! Please forgive me, everyone!

I won't speak carelessly again, and I won't say bad things about others due to momentary emotions. Please give me a chance to correct myself!"

In fact, ever since the incident, Duan Xinya had been reflecting.

Initially, when only one person was scolding her, it might not have been her fault, but when all public opinion attacked her together, there must have been a problem with herself.

She had long been mentally prepared; now, she just poured it all out at once, expressing herself fluently and sincerely.

Seeing her so sincere, the girl in the yellow jacket didn't say much more.

Their purpose in coming was simply to have her publicly admit her mistake.

With their goal achieved, they naturally no longer made things difficult for her.

After all, they were also game players who understood the rules!

Ten minutes later, the group left dorm 505.

Duan Xinya breathed a sigh of relief, slumping to the ground, hugging her knees, and lowering her head.

Three minutes later, she suddenly looked up, as if remembering something important, and immediately opened Tieba and Weibo.

She didn't even need to search for her own name; the homepage displayed three pieces of content about her.

Especially the campus forum.

The small community that originally recorded daily life was now completely filled with topics revolving around Dungeon & Fighter.

The school teachers couldn't control it anymore either.

After deleting a batch of posts, they were quickly replaced, and in the end, they could only let the situation develop.
