178: Chapter 178 Cheering on the team? Killing monsters for prizes

Outside Black Wind Valley, the announcement of the three seals being completely broken still hung above the entire server.

The world channel had already gone crazy.

"They're all broken! They're really all broken!"

"Big Boss Lin Zhe is just too fierce!"

"What can Qing Yan use to stop him now?"

"Frontline players are feasting, and the rear players want a piece of the action too!"

On a dirt slope in Luofeng Village, Lin Chen sat in a small rattan chair, swinging his short legs with half a Spirit Honey Cake in his mouth.

The activity data screen in front of him was jumping up line by line.

The popularity of the Dragon Domain Rebellion Suppression had exploded.

The discussion volume across the server had exploded.

The number of players online was still rising.

Lin Chen watched for a while and gave a soft snort in a milky voice.

"Just shouting in the channel isn't as good as doing something useful."

Lin Yueyao sat nearby holding her scepter and blinked: "Brother, are you going to give out benefits?"

"Mm."

Lin Chen raised his small hand, and a rule screen instantly spread out.

"The front line is fighting, and the rear can't be idle either."

The next second, a server-wide announcement boomed out.

[Server Announcement: To celebrate the breaking of the three seals in the Dragon Domain, the Archon of Luofeng Village, Lin Chen, has officially launched the "Server-Wide Rebellion Suppression Support Event"!]

[Event Period: All players across the server, whether they go to the front line or not, can obtain Cheer Points by grinding mobs, completing tasks, and handing in basic materials!]

[Cheer Points can be exchanged for the following rewards:]

[1: Dragon Crystal fragment]

[2: Free entries to the Elf Secret Realm]

[3: Intermediate Life Potion]

[4: Basic Forging Material Gift Pack]

[The top three on the Cheer Point leaderboard will receive a limited edition "Rebellion Suppression Commemorative Avatar Frame"!]

[Avatar Frame additional attribute: All stats +3%!]

[The final right of interpretation for this event belongs to the Archon of Luofeng Village, Lin Chen!]

As soon as the announcement came out, the whole server went quiet for a moment.

Then, it completely exploded.

"Holy crap! The rear can get rewards too?"

"You get Cheer Points just for grinding mobs? I'm logging on right now!"

"There are even free entries to the Elf Secret Realm?"

"There's an avatar frame for the top three? And it adds 3% to all stats? I have to go for it!"

"Even though I didn't go to the Dragon Domain, I can still cheer for Big Boss Lin Zhe!"

Players from Luofeng Village, Fengyu Village, Shiti Village, and even other Novice Areas all moved at once.

Those who were setting up stalls packed up.

Those who were chatting grabbed their blades and headed out.

Those who had already logged off to sleep crawled back on after seeing the announcement.

"Quick, quick, quick, let's go hunt Wild Wolves!"

"Herb gathering tasks also count toward Cheer Points, don't waste them!"

"Brothers, let's team up, it's more efficient!"

For a time, the mob spawns in all major Novice Areas became lively.

Slimes were insta-killed as soon as they refreshed.

The Wild Rabbit area was packed with people.

Wild Wolf Slope was filled with the light of skills everywhere.

The lifestyle players weren't idle either, running all over the map with bamboo baskets, sending cartloads of herbs, ores, and wood to the task points.

"Hand in ten moonlight grass, Cheer Points +5!"

"Exterminate five elite mobs, Cheer Points +20!"

"Complete a patrol mission, Cheer Points +10!"

Players smiled as they ground mobs and watched the numbers on their panels skyrocket.

The world channel didn't stop for a single moment.

"I ground eighty Cheer Points in one hour!"

"Dragon Crystal fragments, here I come!"

"Don't steal my mobs, I want to break into the top three!"

"The Rebellion Suppression Commemorative Avatar Frame must be mine!"

In the official backend, Zhou Ming had just taken a sip of water when he was choked into a coughing fit by the new data.

"How much?"

The technician's voice was airy.

"Manager Zhou, the activity in all Novice Areas across the server has risen by fifty percent!"

"Returning players are surging. Many old players who had quit or semi-quit before have all come back!"

"The Public Warehouse turnover... is already three times the usual!"

Zhou Ming's eyes lit up.

"What about retention?"

"Still rising! It's about to break the previous record!"

A group of operators in the meeting room were all stunned.

They originally thought the hype from the three seals being broken would mainly be consumed by the front line.

But Lin Chen's support event directly set the entire rear on fire.

People who didn't go to the Dragon Domain felt a sense of participation.

Low-level players had something to look forward to.

lifestyle players could also get rewards by handing in materials.

This event almost pulled in every level of the entire server.

Zhou Ming stared at the rising data in the backend, his smile almost splitting his face.

"Good!"

"Excellent!"

"We must follow up this wave of events with rewards and keep building the hype!"

He slapped the table and immediately gave an order.

"Issue an additional announcement!"

Not long after, a new official server-wide announcement lit up again.

[Official Additional Announcement: To support the "Server-Wide Rebellion Suppression Support Event," the officials are adding extra rewards!]

[The top 1,000 players on the Cheer Point leaderboard will receive an additional 1 Intermediate Nature Resistance Potion!]

[This reward can be claimed in addition to the original event rewards!]

As soon as the announcement dropped, the world channel exploded again.

"The top thousand get extra rewards too?"

"Holy crap, Intermediate Nature Resistance Potions aren't cheap either!"

"Go, go, go! I'm not thinking about the top three anymore, but I must squeeze into the top thousand!"

"Nobody stop me from grinding mobs today!"

The enthusiasm for grinding mobs in all major Novice Areas stepped up another notch.

Many players who originally only planned to get some basic rewards also started desperately pushing for the leaderboard.

solo players gathered in groups of three or five, guild squads ground through the night, and life-profession players ran their gathering routes until they were practically afterimages.

In front of the Luofeng Village Public Warehouse, long queues formed at the exchange screens.

"I want to exchange for Dragon Crystal fragments!"

"I'll exchange for two free entries to the Elf Secret Realm!"

"Give me ten intermediate potions first, I'll keep grinding later!"

Lin Chen sat on the dirt slope, looking at the data flashing red in the backend with a satisfied look on his small face.

"This is more like it."

"When the whole server moves, that's what you call support."

Lin Yueyao nodded while holding her scepter and whispered: "Everyone is helping Daddy."

"Mm."

Lin Chen took a bite of a Spirit Honey Cake and looked toward the Dragon Domain.

In the distant sky, the dark red aura near Black Wind Valley was still churning.

But the rear of the entire miracle was completely ignited by this support event.

The front line was preparing for battle.

The rear was grinding like crazy.

The server-wide popularity was still surging upward.
