Chapter 274 I am destiny
This Shadow Edge should have been delivered to him long ago, but due to the upheaval within the project team, it has been delayed until now.
Zhang Jindong had been communicating with the Delta project team when he walked over and handed them his phone.
"They instructed you to keep it a secret, and the original plan remains unchanged."
"Oh, right, I also sent you a script for the preview live broadcast."
Jiang Feng opened the PDF that Zhang Jindong had sent him, and after just one glance, he understood the entire content perfectly.
In the script, he was just a tool to go through the motions—to perform a few fancy moves with the Shadow Blade Butterfly Knife in a preview live stream watched by millions, and then awkwardly boast a few words based on the prepared script.
It all boils down to this: Shadow Blade is great, Shadow Blade is a must-buy; Delta Force is great, Delta Force is a must-play.
They didn't leave him any room for free expression at all; to put it bluntly, they wanted to make him a puppet to whitewash the truth.
Jiang Feng snorted coldly and casually tossed his phone back onto the table.
He had seen all the chaos and disorder in the delta these past few days and had noted it all down in his mind.
First, there were cheats. The number of cheats in the game now is much higher than before Operation Cleanup!
Some cheats are no longer satisfied with basic functions like aiming and wallhacks; they have now developed features that were not available before, such as flying and teleportation.
The barrel zombies roamed the desolate area. One slide tackled them from the starting area to the prison, and they kicked them to death.
With these cheats, clearing a map in 2 minutes is no longer a pipe dream.
Even more outrageous is the dazzling genius boy. There were originally only 11 in the entire server, but in the past few days, it has skyrocketed to 832 overnight, just like a wholesale sale!
It increased nearly 80 times in one go, which is absolutely ridiculous.
Did the skill level of Delta Force players worldwide suddenly increase by 100 times overnight, and genius teenagers suddenly appear everywhere?
Soon, someone posted on Douyin (TikTok) showing off the dazzling title they had just obtained, only to be immediately recognized by the victim, who released a video of the match where they crashed into each other—this person was a cheater using a high-powered aimbot, and the so-called dazzling title was all obtained by cheating.
Yi Feng had once assured everyone that he would rigorously review the issuance of every dazzling title, but that promise has now been utterly shattered.
Furthermore, in the online store, over a dozen poorly made gun skins were launched in just five days.
The most disgusting thing is that the promotional artwork for these skins is exquisite and gorgeous, but players who spend real money to buy them only realize they've been tricked when they enter the game.
The model is so rough it's like a lump of mud. It only barely resembles the original artwork, and the details, colors, and textures are worlds apart.
They've completely lost their sense of shame; their behavior is utterly disgusting, no different from blatant fraud.
What has drawn even more complaints from players is the skyrocketing prices of items within the game.
The prices of headgear, backpacks, and chest ornaments have all increased. Even the most commonly used 20-slot chest ornament has risen to 17 coins during peak gaming hours at night.
The price of all bullets in the Golden Egg has risen across the board. The price of some less popular guns has increased by 500, while the price of the popular 7.62×51 Golden Egg has risen directly from 3300 to 4500. Who can afford to play these?
Prices have skyrocketed, and the drop rate of in-game resources has plummeted!
Ordinary players only feel that the drop rate is getting lower and lower, without any solid data to support it, but Jiang Feng is different. He has the Gold Visualization Guarantee!
Even without gold or red coins, the guaranteed value increases rapidly.
In these five days, the guaranteed value increased at more than twice the rate it had before.
Jiang Feng is now basically only getting one heart every two days, which makes his fans extremely envious.
Let's not even talk about the streamer's drop rate, since other streamers don't have that rate either; let's just say it's the highest drop rate ever.
Jiang Feng also had something to say but couldn't.
With a new roster, Delta Force quickly reversed its decline from several seasons in the previous era in just five days.
He casually placed the butterfly knife on the table, leaned back, closed his eyes, and let his mind wander.
If this continues, the country will cease to exist!
A nation in peril yearns for capable generals!
These past few days, Yi Feng has been like he's vanished into thin air. The messages Jiang Feng sent him have gone unanswered, and his Douyin account has been completely inactive.
The river breeze caressed the blade of Shadow Edge, the metallic coolness emanating from his fingertips, and the chill in his eyes grew stronger and stronger.
The production team that Yifeng left has completely changed! They're on their way to ruin!
He casually scrolled through Douyin, Weibo, and Tieba, going through all the Delta player communities, reading through the players' opinions, complaints, and even insults one by one.
Time slipped past midnight without us even realizing it.
Jiang Feng looked at his "Red Destiny Card".
Without the slightest hesitation, I silently recited the command in my mind:
"System, I hereby declare: the future Delta will be free of cheats, and all those who benefit from cheats will receive their due punishment and retribution."
[Activating the Destiny Card requires 40 Domination Points. The current host does not have enough Domination Points. Would the host like to apply for a Domination Points loan?]
"loan!"
The system seemed to have a twisted sense of humor, forcing Jiang Feng to open his mouth, blink, and shake his head according to instructions. The whole process was exactly the same as the verification steps for borrowing money online in real life, which was both absurd and ridiculous.
In both my past and present lives, I've never even touched online loans, let alone mortgages or car loans. Yet, in this life, I've ended up with a system loan.
[Congratulations, host, your credit is excellent! Loan approved! Dream Loan disbursed successfully, amount: 190000 points.]
Loan of 190,000 yuan, term from January 15th to April 15th.
The system is surprisingly humane; the interest period starts from the season update date of January 15th, allowing Delta to borrow interest for a full season.
If Jiang Feng remembered correctly, the end date of Season 3 was April 15th.
He glanced at the repayment plan in the system. It was a fixed repayment every Wednesday, with 16000 points paid each period, to be settled in 13 weeks. The total amount to be repaid was 20.8 points.
Jiang Feng took out his phone calculator and tapped it twice, then gasped in shock.
Ok!
That translates to an annual interest rate of 37.9%!
Holy crap! This is pure loan sharking!
But the next second, he felt relieved and casually tossed his phone back onto the table.
This price is nothing compared to what he has to protect.
[The "Red Destiny Card" was successfully used.]
[The host's core will has been detected triggering a worldline shift; the current worldline is beginning to fluctuate!]
[The host's long-cherished wish has been deeply bound to the Destiny Card; an exclusive mission has been generated!]
[Task issued: Destiny is in my hands:]
They're using the passion of millions of players as a bargaining chip for profit, painting a rosy picture of upholding fairness across the entire internet, claiming they'll clean up the chaos and protect the future of Delta. I'd like to ask these hypocritical people to answer my questions first—
When Yifeng painstakingly built an anti-cheating system and pushed forward the Clean Action under pressure to give Green Play a clean environment, who was betraying them and collaborating with cheaters?
When Yifeng strictly controls the quality of skins, refuses to produce shoddy work, and only wants to provide the most dedicated game content, who is it that releases batches of discarded drafts that are completely different from the original artwork and modeling, and ruthlessly harvests players like leeks?
When Yifeng strictly controlled the game's economic system, introduced HAF Coins and Brick Skins to stabilize the price balance, who maliciously raised prices and secretly cut resource drop rates, turning the game into a capital playground devoid of any user experience?
When Yifeng firmly adhered to the bottom line of review, making the dazzling titles a symbol of strength and glory, who profited from the honor, allowing cheaters to swagger around with the title of genius teenager, trampling on the perseverance of real players?
When Yifeng worked tirelessly through the night to implement optimizations several seasons ahead of schedule, all in an effort to make Delta Force better, who laid a dead end to drive away a key player, causing the game to slide into an abyss of no return in just five days?
Where was fairness then? Where were the bottom lines? Where was the players' passion?
You have witnessed the Delta's unparalleled glory and you have also watched it fall into darkness.
In this life, you hold destiny in your hands and bear heavy responsibilities. You could have gone with the flow, enjoyed wealth and glory, and watched coldly from the sidelines.
But you refuse.
Take control of your destiny, take control of the Delta!
The turbulent currents sweep across the land, but you break the deadlock with your gun. Darkness descends, but you ignite a lamp with the fire of your heart. Who else but you can rewrite the future of this game!
Yifeng has fallen, but you will not fall!
Can we, people of our stature, bear to let our long-cherished wishes drift away like the eastward flowing river?
[Mission 1: Mid-door sniping duel, fight to the death]
[Mission Requirements: Preview the live stream and, in front of millions of players, use your sharpest words and most sincere attitude to puncture the biggest cancer parasitic on Delta Force!]
