"This outfit, the size seems a bit small..."

Bai Wei tugged at the hem of her clothes, a little embarrassed, "I'll go change into a larger size."

But before she could change, He Yin grabbed her with one hand and pulled Xiao Ningxi with the other, running outside:

"It already looks great!"

"Let's go, let's go, let's go have fun!"

Bai Wei was caught off guard and dragged out of the mall with her, onto the street.

Not far away on the street, more characters appeared one by one—

Huo Huo, carrying shopping bags, wearing only a yellow-green printed bikini top, a semi-transparent white sunscreen jacket, and denim short shorts.

Vivian, whose blue camisole was stretched to the point of bursting, revealing a large expanse of fair peaks.

Shuo Feng, with two indigo ribbons hanging from the back of her neck, covering her breasts as a top.

Bu Erxi, wearing rabbit ears and a super-tight bunny girl outfit, but her upper body was too magnificent to be completely contained, only "holding" them, swaying as she walked, almost overflowing.

Also in a bunny girl style, but in orange, and with the middle part hollowed out, open from the neck all the way to the bottom of the abdomen, and large areas of stockings removed from the sides of the legs and hips, revealing sturdy thighs, was Te Moer.

From a distance, Fu Ling was wrapped tightly in white, but upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the white was not so much clothing as a layer of milky white body paint, and in the light, her full breasts were translucent with a fleshy reflection.

One after another, heavyweight characters made their debut.

The barrage became increasingly dense, until it covered the entire screen, and it was impossible to watch normally without reducing the density.

Initially, the barrage was full of various exclamations: "Vivian deserves her foodie persona, this nutrition, you can tell she hasn't eaten for nothing!"

"Is this Milk Cap? Open and drink? Genius!"

"Your rabbit, is her development too good? Slow down, slow down, it's going to spill!"

"Mom, I'm thirsty! I want to drink neinei!!"

But as Te Moer and Fu Ling appeared, many question marks suddenly appeared in the barrage:

"Wait! Who is this?"

"@Frost Snow Project old players."

"Old players don't know either, never even heard of them!"

"New characters? Two at once?"

"I'm afraid they're trying to survive, so they're taking out all the inventory."

"I feel a little sorry for them, what's going on."

Soon, they had no time to feel sorry for Zhu Meng.

Because Zhu Meng started to go all out, after the commercial street, the camera came to the beach.

The classic swimsuit segment that cannot be missed in anime.

But the swimsuits that Zhu Meng prepared for the characters were not on the same level as their peers at all, and even most of the swimsuit benefits in surface anime paled in comparison.

Especially since Xu Meng had also made a special selection, almost all of those who would appear on the beach in swimsuits were those with proud figures—almost none of them had a cup size lower than F.

Even more saucy was that the animators chose to have them play beach volleyball as a team...

The scene was truly magnificent, with a full visual impact.

As proof, in the trailer uploaded to P Station, a large amount of white water mist effects appeared here to block the overly strong visual impact.

If it weren't for this, the trailer would not have passed P Station's review at all.

Weiguang was much fiercer, not caring at all, as long as it didn't leak, you could upload whatever you wanted.

—Sometimes even if you leaked, it would pretend not to see it, and many online bodhisattvas survived by relying on such high-handed leniency from the censors.

The seaside scene ends, and the camera cuts to outside a hospital.

Fei Yun, wearing a sleeveless top and lace-trimmed lantern Short Shorts, walks out with four other players' characters who look somewhat unfamiliar.

Similarly, they resemble the previous characters—either dressed very scantily or possessing explosive figures!

At first, the viewers in the live chat all assumed that these were also satellite characters prepared by Zhu Meng.

Until the camera pans to reveal a golden, radiant character in the shot.

It's Tong Que.

After being remodeled, she has become a woman of unparalleled height.

—Originally, Xu Meng wanted her to be unmatched in both height and figure, but because the artists later let loose, the characters of the Frost Snow Project inevitably experienced a cup-size inflation.

To make Tong Que stand out in terms of figure would not only make her body proportions and clothing look awkward but also limit the creation of future characters, so the label of being unmatched in figure was removed.

But this does not detract from the visual impact she brings.

Because her clothes are almost entirely made of gold and jade.

But it's not gaudy gold armor; instead, it's delicate beaded chains made of gold and gemstones, which are then linked together to form a gorgeous outfit.

Clearly, this outfit doesn't cover much skin, with only the sensitive areas being slightly more concealed.

The remaining areas of the abdomen, back, hips, insteps, etc., are more for decoration than for covering up.

Large expanses of beautiful skin are exposed to the air through the gaps in the gold chains, but at first glance, it doesn't feel vulgar.

It's as if Cleopatra of ancient Egypt has been reborn before your eyes, only with extraordinary majesty and splendor.

That compelling beauty makes everyone who sees her stunned.

The live chat becomes sparse again.

Then she speaks, "Fei Yun, and everyone, congratulations on your recovery. On behalf of the City Defense Force, I welcome you home."

The live chat explodes instantly:

"Fei Yun? Yun Fei!"

"Holy crap! I remember now, Zhu Meng said they were going to gender-swap the male characters!"

"None of them showed up before, so they were all waiting here!?"

"Discharged from the hospital? Did they all go for gender reassignment surgery together!"

"Congratulations, the surgery was successful, and now you're a cute girl!"

"Hahaha, can't look directly at it!"

"Who came up with this crazy idea? This is too hilarious!"

It's not just the players who are shocked; the competitors are also shocked and bewildered.

Even though Zhu Meng had announced this matter, the conclusion they reached internally was that the disadvantages outweighed the advantages.

It would waste a lot of energy, offend a large number of female users, and male users might not appreciate it, potentially leading to a series of follow-up problems such as refunds and complaints.

So, they ultimately judged that this was likely a gimmick.

The most likely approach for Zhu Meng would be to delete some unimportant characters from the previous batch, casually gender-swap two or three to appease the players, and then use the excuse of construction period issues to turn this matter into a historical legacy issue.

—This wasn't wild speculation; it was what they would actually do if they were in charge.

But now, looking at these gender-swapped character illustrations, do they have anything to do with being crudely made??

Zhu Meng actually meticulously created these gender-swapped characters, whose sales prospects were uncertain, according to the standards of female characters that could sell for money!

Unbelievable!

But even more unbelievable things are yet to come—

At the top of the city's central tower, the bronze bell tolls.

Outside the city walls, pollutants and corrupted machine soldiers surge in large numbers.

The screen split into three, showing the commercial street on the left, the seaside on the right, and Tong Que in the center.

"Enemy attack!"

"Support!"

"But my combat suit isn't with me..."

"Then don't change into your combat suit! You can fight even without it!"

In the split screen, everyone rushed towards the city wall at the same time.

The animated short ended with their silhouettes.

Then, it seamlessly transitioned into actual combat footage! Next up was what many players had been anticipating: a real, in-game combat demonstration!

To capitalize on the impression the animation left on the players and to maximize the visual impact, Xu Meng had specifically arranged for Tong Que's demonstration to be shown first.

It was a royal flush right from the start!

Tong Que's figure was, of course, beyond words. As she ran towards the monster, the camera even gave a 360-degree rotating close-up.

The golden chains fluttered and scattered, and the golden beads and jade stones danced on her skin, radiant and captivating.

The players could only describe the dynamic effects as awesome, exquisite, and amazing.

Designers in the industry held their breath on the spot!

Golden light swirled, and a gray and black rifle materialized from the air, appearing in Tong Que's hand.

She began firing wildly at the monster.

Under the influence of the gun's recoil, the golden chains on Tong Que's side and the full, fair hemispheres beneath them began to surge and tremble incessantly.

As a result, hundreds of thousands of players felt their little hearts tremble along with them...
