Justice Online's Classic Trolling: New Quest Mocks Rival Game Characters?

The latest 'investigation' quest in NetEase's MMO *Justice Online* has become the talk of the town. Players noticed that an NPC named 'Young Master Tang,' caught stealing a fan in-game, bears a striking resemblance to Tang Qingfeng, a popular character from the competitor game *Moonlight Blade*.

As soon as the side-by-side comparison images surfaced, the forums erupted. The image on the left shows the original character from *Moonlight Blade*, while the one on the right is the NPC from *Justice Online*. This blatant 'trolling' (or *pengci*, meaning to stage an incident to gain attention) led many to comment: 'Typical NetEase, just doing their usual tricks again.'

The community response has been overwhelmingly cynical. Users expressed that because it's 'The Pig Farm' (a derogatory nickname for NetEase in Chinese gaming circles), such behavior is entirely expected. Veteran players even dug up past grievances, noting how the developers once turned controversial items into pets, with some labeling the operations team as 'shameless to the core.'
