I Became a Genius Swordsman in the Pretty Girl Game-Chapter 253: Shin Do-hwa (2)
Currently, the population of China stands at 1.1 {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} billion.
Originally, over 1.4 billion people lived in China, but due to the Gate Incident, over 300 million lives were lost. Despite this, the population still boasts a formidable 1.1 billion.
In China, there is a very popular community with many users: the Hunter-related community.
[BY HUNTER]
This large community posts various Gate information and Hunter-related articles.
Despite numerous administrators managing it, the sheer number of posts uploaded in real-time means that thousands of posts get buried every day.
Among the posts, several with the same topic began to spread rapidly.
"Utopia is overrated, like this post if you agree, lol.""Utopia VS Guangdong Liu Jin, who would win?""Honestly, Jin Yooha is less handsome than Guangdong's landlord Liu Jin, attached photo.""Even if you add all the Korean fakes, they can't match Guangdong Hunters due to sheer numbers.""Honestly, Utopia's popularity is because of Rina, right? Guangdong's Liu Jin is better, agree?"
Jin Yooha had already been the target of much criticism within China. Historical animosity between Korea and China contributed to nationalistic resentment. More directly, his actions during the monster extermination request in the United States, where he humiliated Ling Xiao, leading to China's disgrace on the international stage, intensified the disdain.
Criticizing Jin Yooha or Utopia wasn't new or attention-grabbing in BY HUNTER. However, the comparison with Guangdong's landlord drew comments.
Comparisons always effectively drew attention.
"Hmm, is it really like that? I don’t know if Guangdong can compare to Utopia. The landlord is strong, but he's not a Hunter.""Are you Korean? Is that your bias?""No, just objectively comparing. To compare properly, you need a Hunter, not a rich guy hiring Hunters. Ling Xiao at least.""Why bring up Ling Xiao? You're clearly a Utopia fanboy.""Talking about Hunters recruited by Liu Jin, then you bring up Ling Xiao? 100% a fanboy tactic."
If anyone spoke ill of Guangdong's landlord Liu Jin, swarms of replies would attack that person.
As this topic continued for days without dying down, people started getting fed up.
"If you're going to criticize Utopia, stick to Utopia. Stop dragging in Guangdong for comparisons.""You're a Utopia fanboy, lol.""Both Guangdong and Utopia suck, enough already.""You're a Utopia fanboy, lol.""What’s with these Guangdong guys? Are they in some group chat?""You're a Utopia fanboy, lol."
Such posts would get bombarded with dislikes and malicious comments as if on cue.
Who were these extreme Utopia haters?
They were, in fact, extreme Jin Yooha fans within China, known as the "Indian Rain Dance."
Through multi-server IDs, as instructed by Shin Se-hee, they flooded the community with countless posts and comments. They fervently denigrated Utopia and praised Guangdong.
Initially reluctant to criticize Utopia against their true feelings, they couldn't resist Shin Se-hee's enticing reward, the "Jin Yooha X-Files," and began writing mechanically.
“Sis, another post is up. Post number 32131!” “Got it, issuing a general notice.”
“Hmm... actually, Utopia saved Jiangsu from Ling Xiao’s mess. Right, but he still deserves criticism. Attack!”
The sound of keyboards clattering filled the room in unison.
In fact, what they were doing now wasn't much different from their usual activities. The Indian Rain Dance had always praised Jin Yooha and Utopia against all opposition. The only difference now was the direction.
As the Guangdong vs. Utopia debate continued, Guangdong gradually became more disliked than Utopia.
Forcing extreme fandom often leads to more criticism of that group.
“Look! Another post! Post number 14512! Why are you praising the old Guangdong landlord, lol, are you a Guangdong employee?”
The Indian Rain Dance leader grinned.
“I never knew we could manipulate public opinion like this... As expected of Utopia’s brain, Shin Se-hee. We can use this in the future.”
In a secluded alley near Guangdong, a large bundle was placed in front of Shin Se-hee.
Thud!
Another bag landed heavily in front of her. The woman who brought it was one of the Indian Rain Dance’s Ma-seok suppliers.
She bowed to Shin Se-hee.
“Here are the Ma-seoks you requested.”
Shin Se-hee nodded as she looked at the glittering Ma-seoks inside the bag.
“Thank you. I’ve just transferred the payment to your account.”

The Hunter checked her phone and her eyes widened.
“Isn’t this too much? This is more than agreed...” “It’s correct.” “...Really?” “For us, from a different nationality, acquiring this much Ma-seok involves significant risk. It’s the price for taking that risk for us.”
The Hunter, who had come solely out of fandom for Jin Yooha, smiled at the unexpected large sum. She now felt a deeper pride in her worth being recognized by Shin Se-hee.
“...Then I won't refuse.” “Thank you.” “I’ll be on standby nearby. If anything happens, please contact me.”
The Hunter bowed deeply.
“Yes, I’m counting on you.” “Understood!”
With the successful local procurement of Ma-seok, they were ready to enter Guangdong.
In front of the party, Jin Yooha spoke.
“Shin Do-hwa probably knows we’re here by now. We avoided the drones, so she may not know our exact location yet... but it’s only a matter of time.”
“...All those drones were for surveillance.”
Sophia recalled the number of drones they had avoided.
“Yes, she’s a pathological neat freak, so her surveillance range is extensive.”
Shin Se-hee nodded at Jin Yooha’s words.
“That’s right. Shin Do-hwa hates anyone entering her territory without permission. If we go any further, she’ll get reports immediately.”
“So, what do we do? Just charge in, blowing up those chimeras?”
I shook my head at Yuuri’s suggestion.
“That was only possible with the minor enemies. From now on, it won’t work.”
“...Then?”
“Hmm, we have a few methods... let’s do something Shin Do-hwa hates the most.”
I said, imagining Shin Do-hwa's contorted face.
“Have you still not found the intruders? I told you to bring them to me. Do I need to repeat myself?”
Shin Do-hwa spoke to a researcher, tilting her head.
Numerous holographic maps floated in front of her, but despite the reconnaissance drones scouring Guangdong, the intruders' location remained unknown.
“We haven't pinpointed their exact location yet.” “Hmmm... With the experiment subject causing trouble and this incompetence...”
Shin Do-hwa clicked her tongue and looked at the test subject.
— Aaaaaargh!!!!
Despite maxing out the brainwashing level, the subject still resisted, irritating her further.
Twitch.
“But, they’ll be caught soon...”
“Do you know the three things I hate the most?”
Shin Do-hwa glared at the researcher with red eyes.
“Let me tell you. One is dirtiness. The second is anyone stepping into my territory without permission...”
The researcher swallowed nervously.
“And the last one is...”
Twitch.
“This.”
She pointed at a section of the hologram.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
There, a woman was banging on a shield, with a swarm of insect-like creatures buzzing behind her.
“...Get that out of my sight immediately.”
She ordered coldly.
