And the title Fang Zheng proposed perfectly met this "unconventional" mindset of users.

Zhang Siyu even thought further. Her business instincts told her that this title system could bring considerable profit to the company.

"Then what kind of title does Director Fang plan to give to the fans?"

Zhang Siyu looked at Fang Zheng with curiosity, already eager to incorporate the title system into her business plan.

"As for the title, let's go with 'Till Death Do Us Part.' It symbolizes the fans' love for A Company and their support. And A Company will be proud to have such fans."

Fang Zheng silently apologized to a certain game company from his past life before righteously appropriating the title.

"This title will be a limited edition, only issued to users who participated in this event and fought for A Company. After this, it will never appear again, in any time or any way."

Fang Zheng issued this title and designated it as limited edition to tell his fans, or those who join later, that A Company is just that willful.

For those who helped them, A Company might not be able to thank each and every one of them individually, but they would never forget these fans who had given them support.

Fang Zheng's words left Zhang Siyu in a moment of silence. As the company's CEO, she thought about things more deeply than Fang Zheng.

The biggest purpose of A Company introducing the 'Till Death Do Us Part' title was naturally to thank the fans who had helped them.

What did the official issuance of this title signify?

It meant that the official valued ordinary users like them, that the official was paying attention to them, which would give users a sense of belonging.

At the same time, the sense of belonging brought by the 'Till Death Do Us Part' title also invisibly united A Company's users tightly, binding them to A Company to the greatest extent.

It would increase user stickiness and make these users proud of A Company.

In fact, the impact of Fang Zheng's move was far-reaching. Just imagine, if the official now rewarded a 'Till Death Do Us Part' title, wouldn't they also launch other limited-edition titles in the future?

After all, the pride of obtaining a title would be overwhelming, but new users who didn't have this title would surely be envious and jealous.

They would also want limited-edition titles, so what should they do?

Unwaveringly support A Company!

Perhaps Fang Zheng only launched the 'Till Death Do Us Part' title to thank the fans who fought for him online, but in the long run, this was definitely a brilliant move!

"Okay, Fang Zheng, I'll arrange it right away!"

Fang Zheng watched Zhang Siyu leave his office. He then looked at his fans on the A Company forum, who were celebrating joyfully, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

Chapter 58: Is This What "Must-Watch for Tough Guys" Means? (Seeking First Order)

"This farce was truly a timely rain~

Fang Zheng watched his fans discussing today's farce, seemingly forgetting overnight the anger they felt after Shiru's death in the latest episode of "Akame ga Kill!".

Seeing these fans' attention diverted, Fang Zheng felt a sense of relief, as if he had narrowly escaped a disaster.

He admitted that he had underestimated the fans' anger. The rage of the fans after Shiru's death had made even him, who was accustomed to joking with his fans, tremble.

Fortunately, Yang He had jumped out in a timely manner, drawing the fans' attention away at the last moment.

The fans' pent-up anger was then directed at Yang He and the internet trolls.

"No, I can't relax yet!"

Fang Zheng's smile suddenly felt wrong.

"Akame ga Kill!", also known as "Kill 'em All," as the name suggests, had more than one girl die in it. In terms of gruesome deaths, Chelsea was no less than Shiru, perhaps even more so.

As Fang Zheng thought about the future plot, with characters dying one after another, the action-packed anime he called it would completely turn into a tragedy.

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng seemed to see countless fans, their eyes glowing red, approaching him with cleavers in hand and sinister smiles on their faces.

"Big Shot Fang, we've come to give you some warmth~"

Hiss Is it really that terrifying?!

Fang Zheng was covered in cold sweat. He suddenly felt like he had truly played himself to death this time.

"What to do? What to do?"

Fang Zheng sat on his chair, anxiously thinking of a solution.

Although the commotion caused by Yang He had successfully helped him get through the incident of Shiru's death, there were still the tragic endings of Tatsumi, Brody, Chelsea, Mine, and others awaiting him.

With such a large cast of characters in "Akame ga Kill!", only two were left alive at the end, one cursed and the other with insufficient lifespan. This showed how ruthless the author was.

Fang Zheng didn't want to be ambushed in the middle of the night, nor did he want to receive threatening letters every day as soon as he arrived at the company.

So he had to resolve this worry!

"That's right, the new anime poll just ended. Maybe I can start from here!"

Suddenly, Fang Zheng's eyes lit up, and he quickly opened the voting interface in the forum.

"Poll 1: Must-watch for tough guys, 47,896 votes.

"Poll 2: X Orthopedics, 13,257 votes.

"Poll 3: Sweet to explosion, 19,985 votes."

After reading the poll results, Fang Zheng was stunned, his face filled with disbelief.

What the heck? Must-watch for tough guys actually got nearly fifty thousand votes?! More than the other two combined?!

Fang Zheng admitted that moe anime was indeed a major trend in anime, but it shouldn't be this far ahead of Orthopedics and campus romance~

Unbelievable, truly unbelievable!

Could it be that the people in this world were all prophets, having already grasped the essence of "must-watch for tough guys"?

With doubt, Fang Zheng slowly looked at the comments below, wanting to see why these fans were so fond of the "must-watch for tough guys" series.

Were they all like him, seasoned cellmates?

As a seasoned cellmate of the Dragon King, Fang Zheng deeply understood the essence of "must-watch for tough guys."

As everyone knows, being a cellmate with the Dragon King is a high-risk profession. Every day, some cellmates are taken away by uniform uncles and are gifted a pair of silver handcuffs, experiencing a multi-day tour of the little black room.

Although room and board were free and transportation was provided, for the vast majority of cellmates, it was simply hell.

No loli, rather death!

This was the heartfelt wish of the vast majority of cellmates!

Speaking of the Dragon King and cellmates, Fang Zheng suddenly thought of a rather famous meme from his previous life.

It was said that the Dragon King Hachiya Shion was in prison. One day, he suddenly discovered that his roommates (cellmates) were all talented individuals. He could play shogi, the guy in the bunk above could play basketball, the guy in the bunk next door could sew clothes, and the guy in the bunk below that was even more outrageous – he could fly a plane!

Every roommate spoke very nicely, and their looks were also very high. Having such roommates, he felt the trip was worth it!

"Hahaha, netizens have always been talented. Damn, this is too creative!"

As soon as Fang Zheng thought of this meme, he couldn't help but double over with laughter.

Hachiya Shion, the Dragon King himself, from "The Dragon King's Work," needs no further introduction. For this kind of job, Fang Zheng could only say that he would gladly take it even if they paid him extra.

Hasegawa Kou, who plays basketball, is from "Loli Society." He is responsible for teaching a group of elementary school students (lolis) how to play basketball. The anime is a bit old, so some people might not be familiar with it, but the famous line "Elementary school students are really great" should be familiar, right? That's Hasegawa Kou's classic line~

As for the third person, the cellmate who can sew clothes, Fang Zheng thinks many people will be familiar with her – she is Miyako Hoshino from "Wataten!: An Angel Flew Down to Me." Her magical "Nyan-nei" is incredibly addictive, and Miyako Hoshino is also very much like you when you watch this anime (doge).
