Chen Ge went head-to-head with Liu Kang during his livestream, and Liu Kang responded with a video of his own. The two big influencers from different platforms traded insults from afar, drawing countless onlookers eager to watch the drama unfold.
Some people had already started taking bets on whether Liu Kang could make it through Chen Ge's Haunted House.
The trending topics kept changing by the minute. Behind the scenes, Director Luo of Virtual Future Park and New Century Park fanned the flames. Both sides thought they had the upper hand, and they were doing everything they could to build hype.
The platforms reacted quickly, too. Liu Kang's platform created a dedicated feature for the event, while Chen Ge's short-video platform pushed his livestream to the front page.
As Liu Kang and Chen Ge traded barbs, some levelheaded netizens saw what was really at stake. On the surface, this Haunted House challenge was a clash between Chen Ge and Liu Kang. In reality, it was a showdown between New Century Park and Virtual Future Park.

The internet was abuzz. Fans from both sides traded blows on their respective turf, and neither would back down. Everyone was waiting
