Chapter 336 The Eve of S3, Global Waiting
Jiang Feng started his long-awaited live stream, and the black, gold and green themed e-sports room was full of atmosphere in 4K high-definition.
Jiang Feng, dressed casually in a hooded sweatshirt, sat relaxed in front of the screen.
The live stream chat exploded.
Within just one minute of the broadcast starting, hundreds of thousands of viewers who had been holding back for days flooded in, causing the screen to drop due to the overwhelming volume of comments.
【You actually know to come back to livestream?】
Even the donkeys in the production team dare not rest like this!
[Have they gotten arrogant now that they're famous?]
[Welcome back, Wind God!]
Do you know how I've gotten through these past few days without you?
[Airing on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Fengshen truly loves Delta!]
[Don't overhype him. If he truly loved her, he wouldn't have disappeared a few days ago!]
Familiar sounds of torture and welcome flooded the screen simultaneously, making the live stream as lively as a temple fair during Chinese New Year.
Jiang Feng looked at the screen full of comments, smiled and waved his hand.
"Stop, stop, stop!"
"Please explain why you haven't been broadcasting for the past few days."
He cleared his throat, his tone both righteous and confident.
"First of all, I'm going home for winter break, so I should spend some time with my parents, right?"
"Secondly, brothers, it's Chinese New Year! Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year! I can't just lock myself in my room as soon as I get home, not eat, not see any relatives, not celebrate the New Year, and immediately go straight to Delta Force, can I?"
"Third, there are indeed a lot of things to do, such as moving houses, buying cars, and moving things."
"Fourth, and most importantly."
Jiang Feng's expression was serious.
"Public welfare!"
The chat in the live stream paused slightly.
Jiang Feng didn't keep them in suspense any longer and directly cut out a screenshot of a receipt with an official red seal.
"I have already sorted out the revenue from live stream gifts, some of the commercial orders, and the educational donations that were promised in the previous events."
The moment the screenshot was zoomed in, the live stream went silent for a split second.
The next second, the barrage of comments erupted like a volcanic eruption.
[Donation Certificate from China XXX Foundation... Donor: Jiang Feng... Amount: 12,000,000 RMB?!]
Twelve million?! Am I seeing things? Can someone help me count the zeros?
Holy crap! Fengshen really kept his word?!
I knew Fengshen would earn a lot over these seven days, but I never expected to earn this much, and... I never expected Fengshen would actually donate it all.
[Where are the haters who were just stirring up trouble saying that Fengshen made enough money to live a carefree life? Come out and take your punishment!]
Of course, a few comments were still sarcastic.
[Being a livestreamer is indeed a lucrative business; earning tens of millions in seven days. The tax bureau should investigate this thoroughly.]
Why not donate more when you can earn so much?
These comments had barely surfaced when they were immediately met with criticism from viewers in the live stream.
I envy those who buy houses and cars, but I'll shut up when they donate millions.
[The car and the house were also bought for my parents.]
Why don't you talk about other internet celebrities evading taxes? You're still being sarcastic about Fengshen's generous donation?
The most outrageous thing about keyboard warriors is that when someone donates ten million, they ask why not twenty million.
[You should donate 1200 first before you come to guide Fengshen.]
Jiang Feng wasn't angry; he just smiled.
"To be precise, it shouldn't be 1200 million."
"It was around 1189 million, but I made up the difference to 1200 million myself."
As he spoke, he switched to a second screenshot.
That was a separate donation receipt.
The amount is also eye-catching.
Jiang Feng pointed to the screen and explained:
"This is the house payment that Mr. Feng Qingyang promised to donate."
"As I said before, I can't really take the boss's house, and that money shouldn't go into my pocket either."
"So I talked to Mr. Feng Qingyang and we ended up donating the money to the education assistance project."
The live chat exploded again.
[Boss Feng is magnanimous, and so is Fengshen!]
[One dares to send gifts, the other dares to donate—is this what top-tier influencers and top-tier streamers are like?]
[Delta Force players' first good deed of the new year!]
Jiang Feng spoke calmly, as if what he donated was just Huff Coins from the game.
"Taken from our fans, used for the benefit of society."
"Consider this money a small contribution from all Delta players to us in the New Year."
Respect!
Before the barrage of praise could fill the screen, Jiang Feng switched back to the desktop.
"Alright, stop praising me."
"If you keep praising the streamer, he'll get arrogant."
He glanced at the time.
It was a little after 7 p.m.
There are still a few hours until the S3 update.
The official announcement clearly states that Season 3 will be hot-updated at midnight.
Players only need to pre-download the game and log back in at midnight to directly enter the new world of S3.
This is different from my previous life.
Moreover, starting from Season 3, subsequent seasons have generally maintained a cycle of about four months.
This is good news for ordinary players.
Especially for players preparing for the 3x3 safe box mission.
With the season going on longer, the pressure of the tasks won't be as suffocating as before, and you can enjoy 3x3 for a longer period of time.
This is precisely why the enthusiasm for 3x3 tasks across the entire network has now reached its peak.
Now, Baidu Tieba, Douyin, and various group chats are full of posts looking for 3x3 task partners.
Anke has asked him several times in the past few days if he wants to do 3x3 together.
Yes, Fang Ningxue asked that too.
Jiang Feng glanced down at his phone.
Chen Yichen's message popped up.
This person in charge of overseas operations did not return to China for the Lunar New Year, but remained in the United States to continue overseas broadcasting and content distribution.
Chen Yichen: Holy crap, the live stream viewership exploded today!
Chen Yichen: Over 100 million people are online!
Chen Yichen: Foreigners can't play S3, they're all watching your stream! Waiting for you to stream and play!
Jiang Feng raised an eyebrow and looked at his live stream again.
Sure enough, among the dense Chinese comments, quite a few English IDs had already been mixed in.
Some people are even posting:
【Feng!】
【S3! S3!】
Save the global server!
We want Season 3 too!
Chinese netizens were instantly amused.
Holy crap, foreigners really came?!
[Fengshen's live stream has turned into the United Nations.]
[So, players from overseas servers are petitioning?]
[The Delta Branch of the Petition Office has been established!]
Previously, Chinese players begged for synchronization with overseas servers; now, overseas players are begging the Chinese server for mercy. The tables have turned!
[Awesome! So awesome! Is this the true value of the Chinese server's early access server?]
Jiang Feng couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the screen full of comments in a mix of Chinese and English.
In the past, Chinese players always said that the Chinese server was like an unwanted stepchild.
There are events on foreign servers that don't exist on the Chinese server.
The overseas servers offer benefits, while the Chinese servers have fewer.
The international servers will update first, while the Chinese servers will wait for the patch.
As it turns out, fortunes change.
In this Season 3, the Chinese server became the favored child, while players on foreign servers were left waiting for their turn.
This feeling is something that even domestic players can relate to.
Jiang Feng found it all quite novel.
However, while it's funny, the matter itself shouldn't be taken entirely as a joke.
There's a reason why overseas players are anxious.
The foreign server environment was indeed terrible at the end of Season 2.
Cheating, DMA issues, chaotic economy, and abnormal support systems—all the problems found in the Chinese version are present in foreign versions as well.
The situation is even worse on foreign servers due to regulatory differences, language barriers, regional variations, and the complexity of cross-server ecosystems.
They watched as the Chinese server was about to enter the new world of Season 3, while they themselves were still stuck in the mire of Season 2. It's no wonder they were frustrated.
While their own predicament is hard to accept, the hope for the future of the Chinese server is even more heartbreaking!
We agreed to hold hands and rot together to the very end...
Jiang Feng greeted the overseas audience with a smile in English:
"Hello, global players."
Welcome to my stream.
"Tonight, we wait for S3 together."
Another wave of English comments flooded the screen instantly.
Jiang Feng then switched back to Chinese and continued communicating with the domestic audience.
He glanced at the comments and read a few questions aloud with a smile.
"Today's program? Tonight we're definitely going to stay up all night to experience S3."
Can I earn gifts and join the game during the 3x3 mission?
"No, I've already made plans to do it with others."
The comments section instantly picked up on the key point.
[Have you made plans with someone? Who?]
[An Ke or Ning Xue?]
[Be bold, book both!]
Jiang Feng pretended not to see it and continued reading the next item.
"Should I try to climb the ranks and become the number one in the Delta Force server in China?"
He smiled, but his tone remained steady.
"We're definitely going to charge in."
Don't worry.
"With such a major update as Season 3, if the streamer doesn't stand up at the top and see the view, wouldn't that be a waste of time and effort?"
It was still early, so Jiang Feng decided to log in and play the last S2 game.
He had just logged in when a familiar, soft voice suddenly came from the KOOK channel:
"Yay, yay, yay... Can you hear me?"
Jiang Feng paused, his fingers moving slightly.
The live stream chat exploded instantly.
【It's here!】
【Miss Coco!】
[A familiar voice of wisdom!]
