Delta: The First Person at the Peak

Chapter 161 Two Proposals

The rise of a top-tier livestreamer is always a sweeping, tumultuous wave.

Compared to the uproar online, things remained calm on campus. After all, universities are full of talented people, and the students are generally of high quality. At most, they were just curious and watching Jiang Feng's sudden popularity, far from being fanatically obsessed.

Within the Delta region, however, this wave of enthusiasm has already reached unprecedented levels.

Yesterday's video of Jiang Feng's rise to fame was spontaneously and wildly circulated by various marketing accounts to gain attention. Some people even made videos to review this streamer who rose to fame like a comet after only four days of live streaming.

The sheer volume of praise and analysis was overwhelming, even making Jiang Feng feel embarrassed when he saw it.

The video spread like a virus, reaching live streams, gaming groups, and short video platforms. Every repost further elevated the reputation of "Fengshen".

The official announcement from Delta Beacon Zone directly propelled this attention to its peak.

To commemorate the milestone of 2500 million daily active users in the single mode of the Beacon Zone, all players on the server were given 10 Prism M4 Mandel bricks, 10 keys, and 10 large red supply boxes!

The welfare benefits are unprecedented in history.

What really caused an uproar among players was the change to the weekend gun-tasting event:

For the first time ever, we're showcasing three guns at once! The originally planned Scar-H remains unchanged, but we've added the M14 and AWM! See the image here →

Chen Dexing, who was browsing the announcements, widened his eyes the moment he saw the content.

Aren't the M14 and Scar-H both using 7.62x51 ammunition?

With two powerful guns of the same caliber available at the same time, the demand for 7.62x51 ammunition will definitely surge, causing the price of ammunition to skyrocket. Wouldn't the ammunition he hoarded be worth several times more? This is practically an easy win!

"We've struck it rich! We've struck it rich! We've really struck it rich!"

Anyone with eyes can see that while the official statement claims it's to celebrate a daily active user milestone, they're actually exchanging three guns simultaneously as an exception.

But aren't the newly added M14 and AWM the same two guns that Jiang Feng used throughout yesterday's 20-kill challenge?

Even the gun codes are exactly the same!

They're not even going to act anymore!

This blatant official boost has given Jiang Feng another boost.

At least within the Delta Gold Rush player circle, his fame is no less than that of veteran top player Lao Feiyu.

However, the current popularity is ultimately fleeting, and he needs time to solidify the traffic into truly loyal fans.

Settling!

Of course, popularity is always a double-edged sword; there are advantages and disadvantages.

Just like this morning and noon, the live stream rooms of various Delta streamers were almost entirely flooded with the same type of comments:

[It doesn't feel as good as Jiang Feng.]

This technique is far from Jiang Feng's level.

[You only got 10 kills to clear the map, and you're already bragging? Did you even see Fengshen's 20 kills yesterday?]

Even skilled knife-wielding streamers can't escape comparisons:

[Fengshen got three hearts in one game yesterday, and you've only gotten one heart every few days?]

Stop looking, brothers! What can you do with this pathetic meager earnings from running knife runs? Learn the Wind God's Fierce Attack technique, and you'll earn millions in one go!

Jiang Feng's emergence, single-handedly, raised the bar for the entire Delta region's tech broadcasters.

With such outstanding achievements before them, anyone who dares to claim to be the "ceiling of Weilong" or the "ceiling of Honglang" will be dragged out and compared to Jiang Feng.

A true Delta Force technology emperor has been born.

Before the second person achieved 20 kills and conquered the entire internet.

The river breeze is the only ceiling.

Traffic monopoly, technological judgment—one person has suppressed all the streamers in the Douyin (TikTok) community to the point of being unable to lift their heads.

This is dominance.

Everyone in the industry is curious:

What terrifying scene will unfold when Jiang Feng resumes his broadcast today?

Of the tens of millions of views yesterday, how many were actually retained?

………………

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Delta project team's meeting room was so heavy it was almost frozen.

A war without gunfire is quietly breaking out.

All core members of the project team were present, including Yifeng, the person in charge of the Beacon Fire mode, and Ziying, the person in charge of the Battlefield mode.

The air was thick with the oppressive smell of gunpowder.

Yifeng stood tall and straight, full of confidence, and reported yesterday's results in a loud and clear voice:

"The popularity of Delta has increased by 30% across the entire network, the daily active users of the Firestorm mode have surged by 500 million, and related topics have occupied 3 trending topics across the entire network, with #JiangfengDelta20Kills# breaking into the top five trending topics..."

He paused, glanced around the room, and a smug smile played on his lips: "In short, this was an extremely successful publicity campaign, completely exceeding expectations!"

Yesterday's incredible gamble paid off, and Yifeng received the reward he deserved.

He was full of confidence at that moment, and even his tone of voice carried a hint of arrogance.

Sitting opposite him, Ziying's face was extremely ugly. His plan to substitute one person for another had completely failed. He said sarcastically:

"Having achieved some success is no excuse for some people to become arrogant, is it?"

"The two game modes are essentially part of a larger game, so why is the 'Beacon Fire' mode given a separate announcement for daily active user rewards and monopolizes the attention?"

Why could the Firestorm mode unilaterally modify the rules for the "Genius Boy" title and arbitrarily decide that the titles in the two modes would not be interchangeable? Also, why was the previously agreed-upon release plan for the new operator "Deep Blue" suddenly halted and re-discussed?

"The two game modes are inherently different, and differentiated operation is essential for long-term success!"

Due to the dominance of the battlefield, these updates have always been the undisputed rules of the entire battlefield, but things are different now.

With renewed confidence, Yi Feng argued his case calmly and methodically.

"Take the new operator Deep Blue who's about to be released, for example. On the battlefield, her full-body shield might be a 'Wall of Sighs,' a 'Guardian Shield,' but...!"

"In a world where equipment and ammunition cost money, isn't it incredibly frustrating for Deep Blue to possess formidable combat power even without guns? Doesn't that disrupt the player experience and game balance?"

"You think you can date him just because he's a supermodel?"

"If everyone's playing Deep Blue, is it really fun for two teams of six Deep Blues to just keep going at each other? That's murdering the gameplay!"

The two argued more and more fiercely, and the atmosphere in the meeting room instantly became tense.

When gods fight, mortals suffer. The other members didn't dare to breathe and could only silently lower their heads.

Just then, Su Ming, the person in charge, slammed his hand on the table and reprimanded sternly:

"Enough! Stop arguing!"

"Each of you write a detailed proposal and submit it. I'll review it and then make a decision."

The meeting ended hastily and without any resolution.

But everyone knew perfectly well:

The core message today can be summed up in just four words:

To seize power.

The rise of the flames of war is unstoppable, and the struggle for the right to speak is inevitable.

This conflict was bound to erupt sooner or later; it's just that Yi Feng took advantage of Jiang Feng's favorable winds, causing the conflict to explode prematurely.

After the meeting, Yifeng and Yingzi acted as if they were strangers, each going their own way.

Yifeng rushed back to his office to expedite the completion of his project proposal.

Ziying returned to her office, opened her locked drawer, took out a document she had prepared beforehand, and quietly slipped into Su Ming's office.

Su Ming frowned:

"What are you doing here again? It's not that I'm not going to help you as promised, but Yifeng's grades speak for themselves. Just wait a little longer."

"That's not it." Ziying smiled faintly and handed over the documents.

"Boss, read it first before you talk."

Su Ming took it and read it line by line.

His brows, which had been tightly furrowed, gradually relaxed, and his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

He looked up, his voice filled with disbelief:

"Is everything written here true?...?"

Ying Zi's smile remained unchanged, her tone resolute:

"That's right, the actual numbers... will only be higher than my investigation! After all, it's even more popular now..."

Su Ming's expression turned serious:

Are you sure you can do it?

"I've already found someone; it's absolutely safe."

Su Ming locked the proposal in the drawer. He could tell that Zi Ying was really anxious.

"I'll think of something else. Wait for my news."

Ziying walked confidently out of the office; he knew he had succeeded.

That handwritten proposal was his pledge of allegiance.

As for what was written inside, no one knows.

However, a few words were extremely jarring:

Whitelist... Code updates... Leaks... Clubs.

Just as Su Ming was deep in thought.

Yifeng pushed open the door and handed over the proposal that he had worked on overnight.

Su Ming quickly scanned a few pages, a cold sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.

It was written on the paper:

Combating cheating software, restricting gray-area protection, strictly encrypting code, and holding violators accountable...

Su Ming sneered inwardly.

Making money through games is not as good as making money through me.

The players' happiness is not as important as my happiness.

Yifeng, you are so innocent and naive...
