Chapter 236 The Iron Fist of Anti-Cheating Falls
Dear Operators:
The total daily active users of "Delta Force" have exceeded 150 million!
The total daily active users (DAU) of the overseas servers is 7000 million, and the daily active users of the Chinese servers are 8000 million.
Thank you all for your long-term recognition, understanding, and companionship. Whether you are a newcomer to the battlefield or a seasoned veteran, this milestone belongs to each and every one of us.
……
A new journey begins, and with you by my side, that's where true breakthroughs are made!

Scroll down the email for a generous reward: 1500 limited-time points, plus other supplies and such.
Two words: Grand!
Jiang Feng casually accepted the reward, leaned back in his gaming chair, and lightly tapped the table with his fingertips, a few ripples in his heart.
He had long known that 1 million daily active users was far from Delta's limit, but he never expected the growth rate to be so terrifying.
He's only been here for a little over half a month, and the daily active users of Delta's servers have skyrocketed from 100 million to 150 million, a full 50 million increase.
Keep in mind that this is a real 150 million!
Daily active users on PC and mobile are calculated completely separately!
Moreover, the official anti-cheat script work in this era is extremely well done, with almost no rampant AFK scripts, so the daily active user data is basically not inflated at all!
This is not like the previous version where mobile and PC game data were combined and calculated, scripts were rampant, and the 5000 million daily active users figure was full of inflated numbers.
What does this mean?
This means that Operation Delta Force has firmly secured its position as the world's number one online game, forcefully kicking League of Legends off its throne after many years of dominance.
Even at the peak of League of Legends, the global daily active users barely reached 1.8 million. Now, Delta Force is just one step away from that number.
The game's popularity has already exploded, and the level of interest across the entire online community is frighteningly high.
Domestic platforms like Weibo, Douyin, and Bilibili are filled with Delta-related content, including fan-made videos, compilations of iconic scenes, and walkthrough tutorials.
On overseas platforms like TikTok, Twitch, and Twitter, Delta Force consistently tops the trending charts, with players worldwide going crazy for the game.
The sky belongs to Hafk, the future belongs to Delta!
Even many internet celebrities and popular artists have started posting screenshots of themselves playing Delta Force on social media, riding the wave of popularity and making the game increasingly mainstream.
As a result, Zhang Jindong has been receiving so many phone calls lately that he has accumulated a thick stack of cooperation intentions from various celebrity agents.
He simply wanted to ride on Jiang Feng's popularity, team up with him to play games, show his face on live stream, and gain more followers.
However, most of the people who approached him were second- or third-tier celebrities, who were not very popular to begin with. In addition, Jiang Feng had been busy with live streaming, dealing with various matters, and also had to take care of his university studies. He simply didn't have the energy to deal with these business opportunities, so Zhang Jindong politely declined them all.
What's outrageous is that even some obscure variety shows sent invitations through intermediaries, wanting Jiang Feng to be a guest star.
Surprisingly, there's even a dating reality show among them.
To be honest, Jiang Feng was genuinely a little tempted when he saw the invitation.
If it were a dating reality show from Europe or America, he would definitely go, but as for domestic dating reality shows... well, it's hard to say.
He had absolutely no interest in acting out pre-scripted scenes in front of the camera.
As the most popular and influential streamer in the entire Delta server, Jiang Feng has gained immeasurable benefits from this wave of popularity.
At least the official operators of Delta Beacon Mode have been aggressively buying and promoting traffic for Jiang Feng, steadily increasing the number of viewers in his live stream and allowing him to firmly hold the top spot in Delta.
Its popularity is even rivaling that of the top games.
Even on the battlefield, they had to buy traffic for Jiang Feng.
After all, even now, the most popular and widely circulated individual extreme performance in the large-scale battle mode is still Jiang Feng's!
The so-called win-win situation means that Jiang Feng wins twice.
Meanwhile, Yifeng's personal Douyin account has just been updated with a video.
The content celebrates that the daily active users of the Chinese server's "Beacon Fire" mode have exceeded 5000 million, making him sound like a seasoned master of sarcasm.
The total daily active users in the Chinese server is only 8000 million, while the "Beacon Fire" server alone accounts for 5000 million. This implies that the "Great Battlefield" server only has a capacity of 3000 million users. Their smugness is practically overflowing through the screen.
In the comments section, Yifeng was still interacting with netizens, saying that there would definitely be big surprises and changes next season, and that everyone should wait and see.
He also swore that he would never wash his hair upside down. As for the anti-cheat measures that players are most concerned about, they will be available tomorrow!
Finally, the S3 preview livestream will be held on January 10th, and a mystery guest will be invited.
Jiang Feng was scrolling through the comments section, looking at all sorts of guesses about the guest online, and wondering who it could be, when a new message popped up on WeChat. The sender was Yi Feng.
"Your stream is over? Are you free on the night of the 10th? Come be the surprise guest for the S3 preview livestream!"
Jiang Feng agreed immediately, and Yi Feng replied with "OK" before continuing to work overtime.
Jiang Feng looked at his fate card.
Delta's future looks bright, with daily active users soaring, and it has become a global gaming behemoth.
Is there any need for me to use this card anymore?
Meanwhile, in the most upscale KTV room in the city, Ziying and Suming were nestled deep on the sofa, each embracing a woman.
Beneath the bright lights and glittering shadows of the private room, slew of unseen schemes are hidden.
…………
December 31st, 8:00 AM.
The online reservation channel for Zhengfeng Esports Club opens on time.
The club is scheduled to officially open on January 1st at midnight on New Year's Eve, but the promotional work has already begun in earnest.
The official account of Zhengfeng Esports simultaneously released the opening announcement video on Douyin, Bilibili, Huya, and Weibo.
#Zhengfeng Esports Opening##Delta's No.1 Club
Within half an hour, the two topics surged to the top of Douyin's trending list and Weibo's e-sports list. Fang Ningxue even bought some traffic to boost them, and the topics' popularity soared all the way to the top of the overall list.
But no one expected that the top trending topic wouldn't be Zhengfeng Esports at all.
Instead, it's about—#unprecedented anti-cheating efforts#
#ACE Scanning#
#DeltaAntiCheating#
#You can't get into Delta Force without ACE#
#I was wrongly banned#
#Misunderstandings such as wrongful bans#
Several hashtags related to Delta's anti-cheating efforts skyrocketed, instantly dominating the trending topics lists on all platforms and occupying six of the top ten spots.
Delta's official anti-cheating iron fist has truly fallen!
Moreover, the force was terrifying, unlike anything seen before.
The official announcement also revealed the launch of the new ACE anti-cheat driver-level protection, requiring all players to enable the ACE security component to enter the game, with zero tolerance for cheating.
Within just two hours of the announcement, over a million accounts across the server had been permanently banned for violations, including many high-scoring accounts and even several accounts belonging to well-known streamers.
The entire internet is in an uproar.
The comments section was polarized, with the vast majority of ordinary players applauding and flooding the comments with "Well done!", "Finally, we can play the game properly!", and "We suggest increasing the effort!"
A few banned players also complained that they were wrongfully banned, sparking controversy about "wrongful bans".
Regardless, Delta's first shot in the fight against cheating has been fired with such force that it has overshadowed all other hot topics in the gaming world.
At this moment, Jiang Feng was looking at the small WeChat group containing only him, Fang Ningxue, and An Ke, staring at the constantly refreshing chat history, lost in thought.
Encore: Don't forget to meet at the Baolong Plaza Cafe at 6 PM tonight! It's a New Year's Eve party, no one is allowed to skip it!
If it weren't for the fact that she had to go home for lunch to reunite with her family, she would have liked to take Jiang Feng for a walk and lunch by West Lake!
Fang Ningxue replied almost instantly: Okay.
Anke: Oh? Ning Xue, you actually have time... That's great! I thought you were too busy with the club's opening to come!
