Chapter 1159: The appearance of all living beings in the forum, a big preview!
After entering the official website, he glanced up and found that the entire official website interface was almost completely occupied by the news headlines about Bianliang City winning the second All-Star Championship!
"Double Crowning! Congratulations to Bianliang City for winning the 2008 All-Star Championship!
From January 6 to January 7, 2009, the "Fantasy Westward Journey" 2008 Martial Arts All-Star Competition Finals kicked off at the Songlin Gymnasium in Shanghai.
As the final battle of the 2008 Martial Arts Altar, the Martial Arts Altar All-Star Tournament attracted the attention of players across the server as soon as registration was launched.
After nearly a month of selection and PK, the 8 top teams with the highest points were once again selected from the 32 strong teams in the entire server, and they were specially invited to gather in the Magic City Finals. Under the witness of hundreds of millions of players, they will fight to become gods.
!》
Looking at the extremely conspicuous news headline and the passionate announcement in the center of the official website, Fang Yun smacked his lips, thinking that the All-Stars are indeed All-Stars. This winning card is completely different from ordinary martial arts circles.
.
Under this news headline congratulating Bianliang City for winning the double All-Star Championship, various photos, videos and news about offline competitions are emerging one after another. Their popularity actually directly overwhelmed the carnival being held in the game at the same time.
Activity.
He held the mouse and flipped through it casually. When he saw his photos and videos appearing on the homepage of the official website and being commented upon by major netizens, Fang Yun couldn't help but feel a little weird.
How could he have such experience and cards in his previous life...
However, although it was his first time to experience the feeling of a real person leading a star, he only felt a little uncomfortable and he would probably get used to it after a while.
What's more, he himself is actually a top-notch otaku. Unless he has something serious to do, such as official offline activities of the game or starting a company to make money, it is difficult for even his friends like Sujiu to see him on weekdays.
Continuing to flip through the news, he saw that there was not much new content in these news. Fang Yun was too lazy to read more and continued to scroll down the page, only to find an introduction to this year's carnival activities.
"2008 Fantasy Westward Journey Carnival"
Seeing the title of this news, Fang Yun's heart moved, and he immediately entered the detailed secondary page with a click of the mouse.
"The month-long carnival of Fantasy Westward Journey has begun. It is the time to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. On these two happy days, the Jade Emperor has decreed that the world will celebrate together and the three realms will celebrate the new year together. The Queen Mother issued an edict, ordering the creatures of the three realms to join hands together.
, holding the "Peach Conference"..."
Entering the second-level page, Fang Yun blinked when looking at the familiar activity introduction and classification, and then couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
No wonder it's not popular, there really isn't anything new at all...
This year's carnival is still the same as the old three, including the peach party, tug-of-war, birthday celebrations, refining the mythical beasts and popping bubbles.
Most of the veteran players of these events are sick of it. After all, the entire carnival event lasts for a month. No matter how much you like to play hard, you won’t be able to handle it for a month every year.
After patiently reading the introduction of each event, and confirming that there was indeed nothing new, Fang Yun decisively closed the carnival introduction page and moved the mouse to enter the forum.
He came to visit the official website this time just to see the carnival event introduction. His real purpose was to browse the forum and check the recent trend.
Entering the forum, as he expected, there were very few posts discussing carnival activities, and most of the interface was filled with the excitement of the just-concluded All-Star Game.
"The first BO3 in the history of fantasy ended. Bianliang City defeated Deyang Confucian Temple 2:0 and won its second All-Star Championship!"
"Excuse me! All members of Bianliang City have announced that they will donate the 1 million bonus they received to help the vulnerable groups caused by disasters and illnesses last year!"
"Big news! Deyang Confucian Temple is about to face the second district merger!"
"Big speculation about the mythical beast of the Year of the Ox!"
"..."
Looking at the various eye-catching titles that appeared in front of him in the forum, Fang Yun was dazzled for a moment and didn't know which one to read first.
After thinking for a while, he decided to browse slowly from the beginning to the bottom in order.
"The first BO3 in the entire fantasy world, and also the first 2:0. The most important thing is that the two games ended after only 13 rounds. The Deyang Confucian Temple led by the Yuanwei family was defeated this time..."
"Trash! If you ask me, it's better to let us go to the Supreme Harmony Palace!"
"Is there a possibility that your Majesty Taihe will lose faster?"
"Is this what is called the strongest one who didn't come? Your Hall of Supreme Harmony can't even defeat the Deyang Confucian Temple, but you still want to attack Bianliang City? Just go to sleep!"
"To be honest, Bianliang City feels more and more unsolvable. I thought that after a few years, a team that could challenge their dominance would finally appear. But in the end, I thought too much..."
"With the Qiancheng family here, Bianliang City will always be the overlord of the Martial God Altar! Instead of trying to research and target them, why not save the country through a curve, such as packing them all up and kidnapping them to your own server?"
"Fuck! These are a group of people who don't even care about a million dollars in cash. How much money are you going to spend to kidnap them?"
"Actually, you can also consider seduction. I think Qiancheng likes beautiful women..."
The disastrous defeat of Deyang Confucian Temple in the finals can be said to have hit many players on the server hard. After all, Deyang Confucian Temple itself is actually very strong. Most teams were abused when they encountered them. As a result, they encountered Bianliang themselves.
When he entered the city, he was directly sent back to his hometown by the opponent in two 13th rounds.
Novice players may not agree with this, but the real top players know very well that if they can torture Deyang Confucian Temple like this, the gap between Bianliang City or the Qiancheng family and them is no longer a gap, but a special human god.
The difference!
If there were no offline competitions, they could comfort themselves by saying that the Qiancheng family was just a group of internet billionaires who existed to stimulate their consumption.
But after seeing the real faces of Qian Cheng and other players in Bianliang City offline, this speculation was self-defeating.
Have you ever seen a billionaire acting as a trustee for someone?
Of course, in the world of capital, this kind of thing is not impossible to happen, but in their view, Qiancheng is definitely not one of them.
At first glance, this person is a sure winner in life. If you want to ask such a person to support you, even Internet billionaires probably won't be able to do it.
But because of this, they felt even more uncomfortable.
With the offline competition successfully held, they must admit that there really is a demon-like existence like Qiancheng in the dream, and the power of a family to rule the entire Martial God Altar is unbreakable!
At this time, the discussion about Thousand Cities in the forum was particularly intense. After all, this ID can be regarded as a great god that has existed since the early days of fantasy. Many people have wondered what it is like in other realities.
And with the offline competition held, after Qiancheng finally appeared, those curious players were finally satisfied, but at the same time, the discussion about him became more intense.
For example, the current post about one of them announcing a one million bonus donation has already received hundreds of pages of replies from countless players.
"I really don't understand. That's one million. Even if it's an empty account, it's enough to easily create a server team, right? But Qiancheng and the others just donated it like this?"
"Indeed, that's why I kept saying it was a lie. Maybe they were just talking about it, but we don't know whether they actually donated it or not."
"Fuck! No wonder the ancients often said that a villain's heart is the judge of a gentleman's heart. With Brother Cheng's strength, he said he wanted to donate one million, so there is no way he would be short of a penny!"
"I don't doubt Qiancheng's strength. I've just been thinking that if they announced in public that they would donate all their prize money just after winning the championship, wouldn't this mean they directly kidnapped the players of other participating teams? Is it really true that they are donating or not donating?
, Qiancheng’s approach to this matter is actually a bit unethical..."
"That's right. If another team wins the All-Star Championship in the future, the bonus will probably be even greater. Will they be kidnapped and donated to death?"
"Don't make trouble. As long as Bianliang City is here, there is no way that this championship bonus will go to others! Besides, didn't Brother Cheng make it very clear at the time? The main reason why he donated money was to help the disadvantaged caused by last year's disaster.
group, I probably won’t donate again next time.”
"Let me tell you, does this million have anything to do with you? Qiancheng spends his own money however he likes, and everything goes wrong!"
Browsing through the discussion about donating money from top to bottom, Fang Yun looked at it very seriously, especially the section discussing the disadvantages of doing so, which made him think for a long time.
In fact, when he made the donation, he did specifically point out that the donation was for the victims of last year's disaster. However, because his donation of one million in public was so amazing, many people ignored this premise.
Looking back now, he was indeed a little impulsive at the time. He could have received the bonus and quietly donated it himself, which would not have made other teams so passive.
But if you do this kind of thing, you will do it. At worst, he will continue to participate in the All-Star Game next year and as long as he continues to win the championship, he will be the one who will be scolded whether he donates or not. It can be regarded as paying for this impulse.
He didn't think about it any more. Seeing that the discussion in this part basically revolved around the amount of money, Fang Yun, who was not interested in it, didn't read any more and browsed other contents.
Just as he expected, after the All-Star Game ended, the news that Deyang Confucian Temple was merging servers with Huanglongxi spread like wildfire in the forum. Many Deyang Confucian Temple players had mixed feelings about this.
Fortunately, as their servers have been merged again, the haze of Deyang Confucian Temple being swept by Bianliang City in the All-Star Finals has finally dissipated to a certain extent, making them feel a lot better.
But the worry is that Deyang Confucian Temple players who have experienced a server merger before know very well that whenever there is a server merger, conflicts will inevitably follow. In other words, their Deyang Confucian Temple will soon be in chaos!
If they were to know that this server merger not only caused the entire Deyang Confucian Temple to fall into a long-lasting civil strife, but in the end even their signature original family was torn apart, I am afraid that the mentality of the entire Deyang Confucian Temple players would be shattered...
…
Feeling a little amused, Fang Yun smiled, without making any comments about it, and continued to scan down.
The content that follows is basically all kinds of repetition. After all, the most popular thing recently is the All-Star Game. Most people are paying attention to this, and there are less other corresponding news.
After wandering around for a while, seeing that there was nothing new, he did not stay in the forum any longer. He closed the webpage and returned to the game. He called Li Sitong and Sujiu who were already online at this time, and went directly to the NPC to start the carnival.
…
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.
Today is January 13, 2009, five days have passed since the end of the All-Star Finals, and correspondingly, the overall popularity of the All-Stars has finally begun to decline.
However, as this championship, Bianliang City, especially Fang Yun himself, has been tortured in various aspects in the past few days, so much so that he almost dared not go online. After all, who can withstand being sent crazy text messages as soon as he goes online?
bombing?
Fortunately, the harassment messages in the past two days have finally become less terrifying, and Fang Yun has gradually adapted to it, so his mood is much better.
Today is Tuesday, Fantasy Westward Journey’s weekly routine maintenance day.
At ten o'clock in the morning, after eating the breakfast carefully prepared by his young apprentice, Fang Yun returned to the study room on the second floor. He first set up automatic updates on several computers, and then entered the official website.
Reading the weekly maintenance announcements is a habit he has developed long ago. Especially when the New Year is approaching, Wangyi often releases some rumors to prepare for big moves after the New Year.
"Regular Maintenance Announcement on January 13, 2009"
He found the maintenance announcement on the homepage, clicked the mouse, and entered the page to check it carefully.
"Dear gamer friends:
In order to ensure the stable operation and service quality of the server, all servers of "Fantasy Westward Journey" will be shut down at 8:00 am on January 13, 2009 for weekly routine maintenance work. The estimated maintenance time is from 8:00 am to 9:00 am.
00……
The following are the updates and adjustments made during this maintenance:
1. Five elements cultivation adjustment, mount skill problem correction, summoned beast equipment effect adjustment, novice guidance task adjustment, hidden weapon synthesis adjustment, sect spell adjustment are released on all servers;
2. Corrected the problem of incorrect display of physical strength consumption in the magic weapon synthesis interface;
3. Jianghu rumors task adjustment..."
Looking at the contents of this maintenance, especially the first adjustment to the sect's spells, Fang Yun's heart moved and he immediately clicked on the detailed page below to view it.
"Damn, that's it?"
Entering the page, when he saw the specific content, Fang Yun couldn't help but cursed secretly!
"...the Tang government
Adjust the effect of the spell "Post-strike": when the attacking target is protected, it is adjusted from "the attacked target takes 30% damage, and the protector takes 70% damage" to "the attacked target takes 70% damage, and the protector takes 30% damage"...
"
Looking at this skill adjustment about Datang, Fang Yun was speechless at this time.
Internet billion, do you know how low the usage rate of this thing is?
However, he also knew in his heart that this was the last compromise made by Wangyi in response to the last major overhaul of the skills of the entire sect, except for Datang.
After making two noises, he closed the web page and returned to the update content interface just now.
"The following content is posted on the test server:
1. Warehouse setting adjustments are being tested on some servers: the price of renting each warehouse from the "Warehouse Keeper" is adjusted to 10,000 fantasy coins/month, and a maximum of 25 can be rented (including 1 free);
2. Adjustment of the protection period of report settings: Players can use the shortcut key "alt+s" to open the "Check Report" column to apply for protection time. After the application is successful, they will not be able to perform other operations and will be protected from being reported. Click "!" on the screen.
Markers can be restored to their normal state;
3. In the expansion pack "Ancient Talisman", the weapon durability consumption adjustment continues to be tested on the test server..."
"Oh?"
Just returned to the maintenance interface, when he saw the third content of the test server, Fang Yun, who was originally disgusted by the adjustment of Datang's skills just now, stared, thinking that this thing is finally here!
