Through the expert commentary and analysis on the Blood and Passion forum, the unexpected occurrences that arose during the suppression process were the main factors leading to Shadow Rider's consecutive retreats.

The insight of these professional enthusiasts within the forum was nearly on par with that of experts, and they were entirely neutral, not seeking excuses to idolize someone blindly or to sling mud due to different allegiances.

In just a few hours, explosive comments had reached thousands of entries... Within these few hours, many netizens had made hundreds of comparisons repeatedly, not even taking a sip of water—it could be said that being able to comment on such top-level combat on domestic forums was in itself a privilege.

The official Blood and Passion site's attention to this post was quite high, but the Blood and Passion officials were more inclined to support Revenge Shadow Rider, after all, he had always been an undefeated warrior. What defeat had Revenge Shadow Rider ever turned around if not into a victory? A single battle certainly couldn't explain everything.

However, many federal netizens didn't care about these at all, and while there might have been some personal bias, the short duration of the battle footage really couldn't explain much.

After all, it wasn't just Blood and Passion dominating alone, even though it was the most authoritative forum in the country with significant global influence, mecha enthusiasts around the world were also not in short supply.

More than the battle itself, people cared that Revenge Shadow Rider was still alive—my God, Revenge Shadow Rider had truly returned. In fact, he had never been far away, only appearing when people needed him the most, such as for the Twin Stars' victory, at least half of which could be attributed to Revenge Shadow Rider's merit.

Revenge Shadow Rider was omnipresent and omnipotent, and such voices suddenly caused a great stir in the Federation. Because where Revenge Shadow Rider was, there was victory. Conversely, if Kexiao really could suppress Revenge Shadow Rider, why then would he only broadcast these short clips rather than the entire duel?

When the federal media raised this question, the Saudi side collectively fell silent... unable to come up with a better answer, in truth, the Saudi military was only trying to build up Kexiao, not providing any more documented material.

Hans, for one, was not surprised by these rumors. Initially, he had been concerned about Revenge Shadow Rider, but after giving it some thought, he had come to terms with it, as he had never believed that Revenge Shadow Rider could be caught off guard.

Instead, during the time Revenge Shadow Rider was away, Hans started investing to further expand the influence that Revenge Shadow Rider commanded. He had put almost half of Star Domain Broadcast's shares into this cause and founded a charitable online shopping enterprise called "Slacking Off".

This Slacking Off charitable online shopping service was formidable. Although its prices were similar to other online shopping services, and some items were even priced slightly higher, there were no counterfeit or fake products—but that wasn't the key point. The critical issue was the charity fund. Slacking Off would invest half of its profits in charitable projects for the public good, also in continuation of Revenge Shadow Rider's will, as a newly founded star enterprise.

However, due to the factors of the war and insufficient promotion, compounded by malicious rumors that Revenge Shadow Rider had died, Slacking Off online shopping didn't shine as it should have during its prime. People thought that Hans was exploiting Shadow Rider's name for hype, after all, the general media focused on Revenge Shadow Rider, not this company's mediocre performance.

After all, not only did Hans have to invest half of the profits into charity, but he also had to pay employee wages. After accounting for costs and other business operations, there wasn't much left, yet he consistently adhered to his principles.

Some say he is a madman who goes about things haphazardly, others say he is just creating a spectacle.

But, let's be honest, which capitalist dares to say they use their own profit for hype? Hans does.

Though the business philosophy of Slacking Off online shopping has garnered numerous positive reviews, and the official channels have promoted it a few times, unfortunately, the market is so small, and the proverbial cake is only so big, having been carved up by the capitalists. The majority of consumers will still choose what they always have, and under this great trend, Slacking Off online shopping is just barely maintaining the status quo.

Feng Yi had never felt inferior in his life, always considering himself a person of principle. Purchasing items from this online store meant not only free delivery but also contributed to charitable causes. Why not? So, with nothing else to do, he bought a licensed game from the company and then shamelessly decided to have Eggy burn the game onto discs to provide a welfare perk over the local network for the soldiers.

The game was a complete simulation developed by the Galactic Warfare company, a single-player version capable of connecting to the internet, providing LAN multiplayer for soldiers. Of course, Feng Yi didn't care about the cost, but every bit of cloud downloading passed through Star Domain Broadcast took a long time, and he couldn't wait, so he only purchased one copy, a workaround with no alternative.

It was understandable for soldiers to play games like Galactic Warfare or Counter-Terrorism, as such competitive games indeed had a certain improving effect on the soldiers' thinking, albeit only as an aid and not contributing much more to mecha piloting.

The Galactic Warfare game, however, happened to be a mainstream game capable of enhancing the soldiers' mecha operating levels, and his action was intended entirely to improve the warriors' mecha skills.

As for the various speculations from the media, Feng Yi could only smile helplessly. If it had been his former self, Kexiao might not have been able to withstand his attacks, but it was uncertain, since Kexiao's mecha operating level had reached a degree even he couldn't fathom. The reason he said this was that Feng Yi had never encountered a warrior with a stronger defense than Kexiao.
