Chapter 353, Section 1 Echo
"La la la la la, the SSD arrived~~"
In a male dormitory at a university, Liu Xinfei happily pushed open the door, carrying a package.
As a victim of the "anti-cheating hard drive sweep incident," he not only received a brand-new solid-state drive as compensation from the Delta project team and Yangtze Memory Technologies, but it was even a limited edition!
Inside the packaging box was a physical apology letter from the project team.
Including the half-price SSDs that Jiang Feng personally paid out of his own pocket to get for his fans, he now has two brand new hard drives.
They went from being victims to becoming the biggest winners who reaped huge benefits.
Even the co-branded hard drive that Delta provided as compensation is already being offered a high price by scalpers on the seafood secondhand market!
It was quite a pleasant surprise.
"Thank you, Wind God, Amen~"
Liu Xinfei bowed very devoutly to the photo of Jiang Feng pasted next to the computer screen.
Sitting on the opposite bed, Cui Yinglin looked at the highly commemorative hard drive in Liu Xinfei's hand and felt so sour that he almost ground his back teeth to powder.
Why didn't I let the anti-cheat system fill up my hard drive back then?
"Stop showing off, Liu Xinfei! You still have the mind to worship Buddha?"
Cui Yinglin swiped his phone screen, then suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed:
"Your Love to Broadcast is trending again!"
"Isn't Fengshen always trending on social media?"
Liu Xinfei opened the package without a care in the world.
"This time it's different! A 3x3 run in twelve hours?!"
Cui Yinglin's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and he quickly shoved his phone into Liu Xinfei's face.
"Look! What kind of trading bridge is this? What kind of life-saving station is this?"
"We did so much work and suffered so much last night for nothing!"
Liu Xinfei leaned over to take a look, and almost dropped the hard drive in his hand.
"Is that even possible?"
"As expected of my favorite broadcaster!"
"What are you waiting for!"
Cui Yinglin's eyes lit up instantly, and he turned on his phone and logged in.
"Let's go switch to solid fuel! I haven't seen a single one of the ten machine gun blades I've checked!"
Liu Xinfei scrolled through the forum a couple of times, but his expression changed instantly.
"Do these people have some kind of serious illness?"
Cui Yinglin leaned over to take a look and saw that the homepages of various forums were already in an uproar.
A group of so-called expert players, filled with righteous indignation, posted online to start a group fight:
[The S3 mission is too easy! Jiang Feng's twelve-hour completion is irrefutable proof. We strongly urge the developers to increase the difficulty!]
[What kind of mutual assistance is this in the evacuation game? Jiang Feng is just exploiting loopholes and setting a bad example!]
[If you make the most valuable 3x3 missions feel like child's play, what hardcore aspect does this game have left?]
"Easy? Screw easy!"
Cui Yinglin immediately blushed.
"Yesterday, I got wrecked by that sixth guy at the dam for a measly fuel deal, I almost lost everything, and he's telling me it's easy?!"
Liu Xinfei frowned and gave a cold laugh.
"Perfectly exemplifies what it means to 'let them eat meat porridge'."
"you do not say!"
Cui Yinglin slammed his fist on the table.
"These guys have hundreds of millions in cash, six sets of gold ammo when they leave the map, and top-tier teammates to provide cover fire. Taking Babel is like strolling through their backyard. Of course they think it's easy!"
"But what about us?"
"My monthly living expenses are so low, my hands shake every time I fire a gun, and I feel bad even if I have to spend half a day getting a level 4 set of armor."
"Is it wrong for us to just do a peaceful mission and get a safe box?"
He got angrier and angrier as he spoke, pointing at the screen.
"The food itself is the original sin, that's for sure."
"But if there are ways to skip class, why are we being criticized?"
"Whom have we offended?"
"They keep talking about the original intention of the game and the hardcore ecosystem."
Are there any people here who genuinely feel the gameplay has been ruined? Definitely.
"But there are definitely some people who lost their jobs of leading their bosses on missions because of the Wind God's Trading Bridge and Life-Saving Station."
"In the past, if a regular player got stuck on a quest, they could only grit their teeth and spend money to hire an escort."
"Now that everyone can help each other, how can they not be furious?"
Liu Xinfei looked at the Weilong in the video, who was saluting behind the Exchange Bridge, with pure respect in his eyes.
"Therefore, only Jiang Feng can be called a god on the entire internet."
Liu Xinfei said softly.
"There are many people who are skilled and wealthy."
"But they stand at the top of the pyramid, only looking down and mocking the lower-level players as if they were rats."
"Only the Wind God."
"When he stood at the pinnacle of the game and looked down, he didn't laugh."
"Instead, it built a bridge for us ordinary players in the abyss."
Cui Yinglin's eyes welled up slightly, and he decisively opened the game.
"Log in! No more dawdling!"
"Where are you going? To exchange supplies?"
Liu Xinfei asked.
"Change my ass!"
Cui Yinglin gritted his teeth, opened the warehouse, and put on all six sets of clothes that he would normally never wear, as well as the fully modified M14.
"The post says that fully armed dogs have already gone to the bridge to slaughter and cause trouble."
"These bastards dare to break the rules set by the Wind God and overturn the dinner table of ordinary players."
"I'm not doing this 3x3 mission today!"
"Let's go to Longbow Valley!"
"I'm going to be a security guard at the bridge today!"
"Go be a supervisor at the train station!"
"Don't worry."
Liu Xinfei, instead, calmed down and held his hand:
"With just the two of us, our skills aren't good enough. If we go in, we'll just be feeding the fully-equipped power levelers."
Cui Yinglin paused.
"What should we do then?"
Liu Xinfei glanced at him.
"Call for help."
"You go and shout it in the classmates' group, I'll go and shout it in the Fengshen fan group."
"Enter the map at the same time and go to Longbow Valley."
"The two of us are not strong enough, but when players come together, the power is different."
Cui Yinglin paused for a moment, his tone tinged with a lack of confidence:
"Everyone's focused on their own tasks, will anyone want to get involved in this mess?"
Liu Xinfei raised an eyebrow.
"Are you doubting the influence of the wind god?"
As he spoke, he took out his phone and opened Jiang Feng's fan group.
His fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed a line of text.
Brothers, there's trouble at the Trading Bridge and the Life-Saving Station. Someone is slandering the Wind God and destroying the order he established.
Anyone want to join me as a security guard in Longbow Valley?
We don't steal items, we don't kill trading players, we only target those who double-cross others and cause trouble.
[Uphold the rules established by the Wind God.]
The group chat was silent for a second after the message was sent.
next second.
The entire group chat exploded.
Countless versions of myself came.
One call and a hundred responses
On the other side, Cui Yinglin swallowed hard and sent the same message to the usually silent college group chat.
He hadn't held out much hope, but the moment the message was sent, the large group chat, which had been silent for thousands of people, suddenly popped up with "99+" red dots!
[Building 3, Unit 402 is ready!]
I'll lend a hand!
One call and a hundred responses!
Cui Yinglin realized that this was the power of the players, and also the charm of the Wind God!
At this moment, Jiang Feng is still in a dream.
