Shirou's clones number 30 million

"Clang clang...!"

Junko Enoshima took a game box from her computer desk; the cover read "Attack Families."

"This is a newly released fighting game. I had Mukuro buy it last night, and it's already installed. The combat feels great, and there are lots of combos and special moves... Let's play together, senpai."

"Well......"

"Senior, if you win, I promise I will never enter your room without permission again."

"make a deal!"

"You seem very confident, senior. Well... if you lose, how about we go on a date?"

"No, I can only treat you to one meal at most."

"Okay! It's settled then."

"We lost...! Ugh..."

Around midnight, in Shirou Shirazawa's room, Junko Enoshima put down the controller and sighed with feigned helplessness.

"Isn't it obvious that you'll lose?"

Shirou Shiro glanced at her and slowly spoke:

"Although I've been playing on and off for other reasons and haven't been completely addicted to it, I'm still the world's number one when it comes to fighting games."

While the virtual gaming world isn't as developed as Sword Art Online, it's still quite formidable. Many fighting games played with gamepads are online, and the competition among players is fierce.

Some of these games calculate scores, while others calculate wins. But regardless of the type of game, if you can maintain a perfect record, your ranking will rise very quickly.

"If you want to beat me, you'd better train for a few years first."

"Senior, this is my first time playing a fighting game like this. I'm not very familiar with the controls yet. I'll definitely be able to beat you after I practice for a while."

"Then you can practice slowly. After decades of practice, you might be able to beat me."

"In that case, should we keep the bet we made earlier?"

"You want to renege on your debt?" Shirou Shiro turned his head and stared at her intently.

"Of course not, I just want to keep the bet. Once I beat you, I should be able to come and go as I please."

You're dreaming.

"The winner always gets some privileges, right? I'm just not very familiar with the game today. Once I practice a few more times and get used to it, you definitely won't be a match for me, senior."

"You can train for decades and still not beat me."

Shirou Shirazawa said without hesitation.

That was just a normal button press; no off-board tricks were used.

Even so, as Kanbara said at the time, even without using any power, the hand speed and dynamic vision brought by physical qualities are there for all to see.

Even if I deliberately lose, and play with the most ordinary hand speed, I still have an overwhelming level of skill.

Moreover, his fighting game skills were already quite strong.

"Isn't the senior a bit too confident? I'm a genius, you know."

"There are plenty of geniuses out there! It's hard to say about other aspects, but when it comes to fighting games, I'm a top-notch genius."

"Hehe... Senior is really confident. I'm already looking forward to seeing your expression after you lose."

"Then you should go back to your room and lie down. You can have anything in your dreams."

......

Another weekend, at the Yorozuya.

At this moment, a young man wearing a suit and with a bit of stubble on his face was sitting on the sofa, complaining to Tianxiang Youli.

The moment Shirou Shirazawa saw him, he was reminded of Shirou Hashiba from the past.

Although we have different professions, we feel strangely similar.

"Shirou, I'm a little unsure about this request. Should we accept it?"

"What commission?"

"Come here for a moment."

Yuri pulled Shirou to sit down opposite the man and asked him to repeat his request.

"...That's about it. The game I worked so hard to create was supposed to be a huge hit, but then this happened...sigh..."

"The game has too few players online right now, and it looks like it'll be shutting down soon..."

He was referring to Attack Families, a fighting game that had just been released a few days prior. It was highly anticipated, but who would have thought that it would encounter the "bad girl ranking incident" orchestrated by Shirou Yasaka.

In the past few days, this matter has been widely discussed online, and its impact has spread far and wide.

As a result, the newly released fighting game, despite its rich content and good gameplay, failed to have a significant impact.

Shirou Shirazawa hesitated for a few seconds before slowly speaking:

"Can't we increase the publicity efforts?"

“The company is out of money.” The man sighed again. “Besides, what does a game matter in the face of such a world-class event? The other nine women are fine, they’re just a topic of conversation at most, but Enoshima Junko is completely different.”

"She was already a super popular print model, and now she's been given the title of 'world destroyer'."

“There are a lot of people paying attention to her online now. Some people are secretly conducting live investigations, some are interviewing her classmates and teachers, and some are waiting outside her residence.”

"Compared to those, games... ugh... how much does it cost to buy a trending topic? If you just buy one, it'll probably be pushed down in an instant."

Shirou Shirazawa seemed to be thinking about something. Indeed, these past few days, there has been a lot of discussion online about Junko Enomori, who is ranked number one on the list of "evil women".

Of course, there was a lot of abuse and slander. If it were an ordinary person, they really wouldn't be able to withstand such pressure.

However, Junko Enoshima was mostly happy and indifferent.

At times like these, it's difficult to gain an advantage in promotion, whether it's releasing a song, a movie, or a game.

In this day and age, even the best wine needs advertising.

Shirou Shiro crossed his arms and fell into deep thought.

After a long while, an idea suddenly came to mind.

"Is Enoshima Junko currently number one on the trending list?"

“She’s not just first, she’s second through thirtieth,” the man said without hesitation.

After all, her original profession was as a print model, which meant that her appearance and figure were among the best of the nine.

Moreover, the things the other nine people did were worlds apart from what she did.

Under such circumstances, it's natural that she would receive the most criticism.

Even if one or two people speak up for her, they are often driven away by insults.

"What do you think would happen if... Enoshima Junko showed up, held a press conference, and promoted the game at the conference?"

"We'll get a lot of criticism, but the traffic will also increase."

The man paused for a moment, then shook his head slightly:

"Of course, that's impossible! Enotori Junko is definitely under tight control, how could she possibly hold a press conference?"

"No, it's still possible. Let's put that aside for now. Since this has happened, why don't you temporarily add ten female characters to the game?"

"Huh...? You mean...?"

"With such great popularity, these kinds of things will definitely be all over the internet for a while."

"Is it inappropriate to ride this wave of popularity?"

"What's inappropriate about it?" Shirou Shiro smiled. "I've played the game you mentioned before. From a player's perspective, if those ten women could appear as game characters, I would definitely play it."

"this..."

"Besides, believe it or not, after a while, some manufacturers will definitely try to ride the wave. The reason they haven't made a move yet is simply because they're unsure of the higher-ups' attitude."

"That's it! This is it!" the man said quickly. "If we ride this wave of popularity, won't the authorities order us to shut down the server?"

"What are you afraid of? Aren't you about to shut down your servers? Even if you can only ride the wave of popularity for a few days, it's enough to make your company famous. Besides, I don't think the higher-ups will pay any attention to you."

Makes sense!

The man nodded slightly, and after a long pause, said seriously:

"Thank you so much! I'll go back and start working on the new plan immediately. If it succeeds, I'll definitely thank you!"

"No need for thanks, just don't forget the commission fee."

Absolutely not!

"By the way, according to the decision above, I am now Junko Enoshima's supervisor. If you need her to help with advertising, don't hesitate to let me know."

"Then... I'll leave it to you!" The man bowed deeply.

Chapter 611, Section 612: Like a mouse seeing a cat

"Miss Enoshima Junko, what are your thoughts on being ranked number one on the list of villains?"

"Hmph... As expected of me."

"You from another world, who once destroyed the world, do you feel no remorse for it?"

"Why should I feel guilty? That's something that hasn't happened yet, right? Besides, it's clear from the video that I was just a facilitator..."

"Ms. Junko Enoshima, when you said that just now, the comments section was flooded with insults directed at you. What are your thoughts on that?"

"Why should I care about verbal attacks? People who use words to belittle me are simply filled with fear of me..."

At this moment, Junko Enoshima's press conference is in progress.
