Not long after the announcement was released, the players began discussing it heatedly.
"Bloodline options? What new thing is this? I want to log into the game and see it so badlyyyyy!"
"Case closed, bros. It's Frogman. The specific effects are as follows..."
"Huh? There aren't even any stat bonuses? And it locks you into a fixed attribute growth path? Looks kind of trash..."
"The guy above is an idiot. If it lets you go underwater, the Frogman Bloodline alone is enough to make up for its flaws. The near seas around Candlewood Island haven't even been fully explored yet. Who knows what good stuff the devs have hidden in there?"
"HAHAHAHAHA! You people are discussing a game that doesn't exist! Sitting-Forgetting Dao, it's all Sitting-Forgetting Dao! You won't fool me! The ultra-realistic open-world combat game Spirit Candle—doesn't exist at all!"
"There goes another one."
"..."
Naturally, this also sparked a discussion in Li Miao's group chat.
Brother Miao Won't Fail: "Damn, Spirit Candle pulled something huge while we were offline. @Poetry and the Distance, Yuanfang, what do you think?"
Battle Thrill: "Fine him for the homophone pun!"
Poetry and the Distance: "We'll log in later and test it."
My Hamster is Called Guagua: "Frogman? Does that mean you can stick out your tongue and pull people over? Like in anime?"
Fisherman Who Never Misses a Catch: "That's not the point. Being able to go underwater is the most important thing!"
My Hamster is Called Guagua: "Huh? Why?"
Brother Miao Won't Fail: "Obviously because you can just go underwater and catch fish directly. Right, Brother Yu?"
Battle Thrill: "Bold of you! Who are you implying can't catch fish?"
Fisherman Who Never Misses a Catch: "...Come spar with me later when you log in. Friendly sparring. (smile) @Brother Miao Won't Fail"
