Chapter 335 S3!
Time flies, and it's January 29th already.
There are less than 24 hours left until the official update of Season 3.
Jiang Feng rested for a few days, but the Delta Circle never stopped.
The aftershocks of the preview livestream are still spreading wildly.
It could even be said that the closer it gets to Season 3, the more exaggerated the players' emotions become.
On various platforms, new Delta-related terms are trending almost every day.

#Why isn't S3 open yet?#
#Yifeng, are you asleep? I can't sleep#
#DeltaChinaChineseNewYearEvents#
#Why isn't Jiang Feng streaming?#
#JiangfengBuyingAHouse#
#Jiang Feng buys a Mercedes, Mercedes official account requests collaboration#
Players vote with their feet.
At noon on the 29th, Delta officially issued a new announcement.
Delta Force's daily active users worldwide have surpassed 250 million, setting a new record!
As soon as the announcement was released, the official team also gave out another round of benefits, including 1500 triangle coupons.
Some time ago, the game was almost dragged into the abyss by cheating, protection, and economic collapse.
But in a preview livestream, Yifeng and his project team delivered a truly sincere answer. Therefore, players were willing to trust them again.
This time, the trust came on a powerful and overwhelming wave.
The Chinese server is eagerly awaiting its release.
The external server is breaking through the defenses.
They don't have S3!
Yifeng responded to the outcry from overseas players demanding a synchronized update to Season 3.
Simply put...
To counter cheating at the software level and DMA, the S3 version drastically rewrote the underlying driver-level (Ring 0 kernel) anti-cheat engine 3.0.
This system requires extremely high-level scanning privileges at the computer system level.
The overseas version of the new anti-fraud engine is currently stuck in the lengthy review process of the EU's GDPR and related privacy laws in North America.
Since all the new mechanics and operators in Season 3 are built on this new anti-cheat framework, Season 3 absolutely cannot be updated without the anti-cheat system in place!
This caused an uproar on the overseas servers.
As a result, the tone on Twitter and Reddit changed drastically.
Foreign players turned their guns on Delta Force, launching a fierce attack on their own compliance review departments and demanding immediate approval.
Some enthusiastic netizens shared screenshots of foreigners on foreign websites criticizing their own country's legislation back in China.
Meanwhile, domestic online forums like Baidu Tieba and Bilibili have long since become a sea of joy.
Previously, Chinese players would often complain that their server was an "orphan server".
Now it's finally the turn of players on foreign servers to experience this feeling.
It's so great that we can play it on our own servers but not on foreign servers! We've never had this kind of treatment before!
One particularly abstract netizen even went so far as to bypass the Great Firewall to post a comment on an overseas forum:
"Last week, I went to Los Angeles on a business trip. I noticed that Delta International's S2 top-secret space service was all wall-mounted."
At first, my instinct was to yell at the game planner, but my American colleague next to me smiled and pulled me back, pointing to their local GDPR privacy law. At that moment, I fell into deep thought. I suddenly realized that what they were protecting wasn't privacy, but rather tolerance and goodwill towards cheating software.
I was deeply moved, and I have to admit that there is indeed an insurmountable gap between our Chinese server and foreign servers. I suggest we seriously reflect on this.
This extremely retro-style reply, which perfectly captures the essence of "public intellectual style," immediately caused domestic players to lose their composure.
Wow! This is totally my style!
The tables have turned, buddy!
The overseas players, already overwhelmed, couldn't take it anymore, and many top Twitch streamers announced on the spot:
Even with a 200ms latency, I'm going to create a real-name account to experience Season 3 on the Chinese server! I'll try out Delta Force 2.0!
With the streamer's lead, many foreign players started buying Chinese server accounts, and for a time, a real-name verified Chinese server account even sold for as much as $100!
At this moment, Yi Feng was extremely busy with the Linlang Tianshang project team.
Season 3 is about to launch in the Chinese server.
International server players need to be appeased.
The competition system needs to be implemented.
A public information board should be set up.
The joint anti-cheating program needs to be promoted.
Everything weighed heavily on their shoulders. But unlike before, this time they weren't being driven forward by the players' criticism, but by immense expectations.
The criticism is terrible, but the expectations are even greater.
Amidst this atmosphere of widespread online commotion, Jiang Feng disappeared for several days.
He hasn't been live-streaming these past few days, only occasionally posting a few updates.
It's either a snowy scene from my hometown of Laizhou, or a table full of seafood.
His fans, who were waiting for him to start his live stream, were getting impatient and frustrated.
[It's understandable for streamers to go home for the Lunar New Year, but can you please go live?]
[Feng Daddy, please, please start streaming!]
[Wind God, please come back! I can't bear this alone!]
I check Douyin three times a day to see if Fengshen has been resurrected.
[If the streamer doesn't start broadcasting soon, foreign players will be able to conquer the Chinese server!]
Although Jiang Feng doesn't stream live, there's still a lot of news about him.
Someone spotted him and his parents looking at houses in Laizhou.
Someone spotted him buying a car for his father at a Mercedes-Benz 4S store in Qingdao.
Some people even bumped into the Jiang family taking a walk in the park and shamelessly went up to take photos with them, and Jiang Feng actually smiled and cooperated.
As one of the top public figures in the Delta region today, even if Jiang Feng doesn't post updates, it's difficult to completely hide his schedule.
But the problem is...
It was just a chance encounter.
A group photo is a group photo.
I didn't chime in, so I'm ultimately missing something.
What the viewers wanted to see was Jiang Feng sitting in front of his computer, slaughtering the aerospace industry.
Until the afternoon of January 29th.
The new ROG machine that was prepared for Jiang Feng's hometown has finally been delivered.
It's not just the top-of-the-line family bucket.
More importantly, that host computer used the world's first Delta co-branded motherboard.
Number 001.
Jiang Feng had been waiting for this!
Jiang Feng's eyes lit up as he looked at the Delta co-branded motherboard through the side glass of the main unit.
The entire system was installed and debugged by the ROG team, with the case, motherboard, graphics card, monitor, and peripherals all fully loaded.
The moment the computer booted up, Jiang Feng's signature map graffiti appeared on the water-cooled screen—
Facing death to live, this shot leads to the pinnacle!
There was also a line of smaller text next to it.
No.001.
Jiang Feng felt refreshed after watching this.
What is meant by "prestige"?
That's what you call prestige!
He casually took a photo and posted it on Weibo and Douyin.
The copy is only one sentence:
Delta Force is activated! Preparing for Season 3!
In the photo, black, gold, and green lighting effects fill the entire gaming room, the co-branded motherboard numbered 001 is faintly visible behind the side window glass, and the exclusive graffiti on the water-cooled screen further enhances the room's prestige.
The comment section exploded within a minute of the post being published.
Holy crap! A living, breathing wind god!
[Missing Person Returns!]
[I hadn't seen a live stream for a few days, and I thought the streamer had gone home to inherit the family fortune.]
[Number 001? ROG, you're really something!]
[Dude, can this Fengshen PC increase the drop rate?]
Jiang Feng is back! Brothers, spread the word!
Soon, a term quietly climbed to the top of the trending searches.
Ten minutes later.
#Jiangfeng has been resurrected# (Breaking News)
The entire delta region was instantly like a machine that had been turned on.
That man has finally returned!
