45: Chapter 45, the server-wide event, is now live, and players are having a blast!
The event contract had barely been bound for two days when the official team sent the first server-wide event proposal to Luofeng Village.
Early in the morning, Zhou Yue stood at the foot of the dirt slope with several operation accounts, beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Archon Lin, this is the first draft of the server-wide event."
In mid-air, a huge blue event panel slowly unfolded.
[Event Name: Autumn Hunting Season]
[Original Proposal: Monster EXP + 50%, Drop Rate + 20%, Limited-time Exchange for Silver Treasure Chests]
[Recharge Pack: Hunting Supply Box]
The surrounding players took one look, froze for a moment, and then all curled their lips in disdain.
"That's it?"
"Isn't this just the same old routine?"
"How are they embarrassed to call 50% extra EXP a major server-wide event?"
Lin Chen was nestled in Xing Jianwan's arms; he glanced at it, and his little face immediately hardened.
"Too stingy."
Zhou Yue's mouth twitched, and he hurriedly lowered his head: "Please, Archon Lin, make your revisions."
Lin Chen raised his little hand and tapped the panel several times in quick succession.
Swish! Swish! Swish! The blue event panel instantly turned gold.
[Event Name: Autumn Hunting Season]
[During the Event: Server-wide Monster EXP Tripled]
[During the Event: Server-wide Monster Drop Rate Doubled]
[Event Drops: Hunting Badges]
[Event Exchange: Exclusive Mounts, Orange Equipment Shards, Advanced Potions, Rare Materials]
[Recharge Pack: Paid exclusive rewards removed, changed to free daily exchange for the whole server]
The whole scene went silent for a second.
The next second, it exploded.
"EXP tripled?!"
"Drop rate doubled?!"
"And there are exclusive mounts and Orange Equipment Shards?"
"Little Archon Lin must have smashed open the official warehouse!"
Looking at the revised proposal, Zhou Yue's heart was bleeding, but he only dared to smile.
"Good, good, good, let's go with this."
Less than half an hour later, a server-wide announcement popped up with a bang.
[Server-wide Announcement: The "Autumn Hunting Season" event is officially live]
[Event content has been approved by Archon of Luofeng Village, Lin Chen]
[During the event, server-wide monster EXP is tripled and drop rates are doubled]
[Killing monsters drops Hunting Badges, which can be exchanged for exclusive mounts, Orange Equipment Shards, and other rare rewards]
[Extra exclusive benefits for the Third Beginner District: Event currency drop + 20%]
Boom! The entire "miracle" went crazy.
The Novice Area was grinding. Outside the main city, they were grinding. In the wild maps, they were grinding.
No one was chatting at the dungeon entrances anymore; everyone was rushing out.
"Quick, quick, quick! Go grind monsters first!"
"Stop dawdling, you can't waste a single day of this event!"
"Orange Equipment Shards! Those are Orange Equipment Shards!"
The world channel was instantly flooded.
"Big Shot Lin is awesome!"
"This event is a hundred times more conscientious than before!"
"Official events used to be like charity, but this time they're stuffing us full!"
The Third Beginner District was even more exaggerated.
Outside Luofeng Village, monsters were cleared the moment they spawned.
On the grasslands of Fengyu Village, it was full of players scrambling to pick up Hunting Badges.
Near the mining area of Shiti Village, even life-skill players were wielding pickaxes and hacking at monsters in passing.
"20% more event currency, let's go hard!"
"Others drop one, we drop one and a half, why not grind until dawn?"
"Brothers, don't log off today!"
A solo warrior had only been grinding for twenty minutes, and already had over a dozen Hunting Badges in his backpack.
He opened the exchange list and stared, his eyes wide.
[Autumn Wind Warhorse Reins]
[Crimson Flame Wolf Mount Shard]
[Orange Equipment Shard]
[Advanced Enhancement Stone]
"Damn, you can really exchange for mounts!"
"The official team has gone crazy this time!"
"No, it's Little Archon Lin who has gone crazy, giving out benefits without leaving us any room to breathe!"
Three hours after the event went live, the backend data had exploded.
In the operations hall, there were screams everywhere.
"Online activity has quadrupled!"
"Mall supplies are selling like crazy!"
"Recharge revenue has already hit five times that of a normal event!"
Zhou Yue stared at the curve, his face red with laughter.
"Keep adding bandwidth! As long as the event doesn't crash, revenue can still rise today!"
Several executives nearby had originally felt bad about giving away mounts and Orange Equipment Shards too aggressively, but now they were all grinning ear to ear.
"Worth it! So worth it! From now on, all events should be sent to Luofeng Village for review first!"
On the other side, players in other regions of the server were already green with envy.
Especially when they saw the last sentence of the announcement, "Extra exclusive benefits for the Third Beginner District: Event currency drop + 20%", their eyes turned red.
"Why do they get 20% more?"
"Are we not people?"
"Official team, come out and explain! We demand equal treatment for the whole server!"
Forums, comment sections, and complaint panels were instantly flooded.
[Protest against discriminatory treatment!]
[Strongly demand the same benefits as the Third Beginner District!]
[Apply to transfer to Luofeng Village!]
The number of transfer applications in the backend was skyrocketing. Fifty thousand. Eighty thousand. One hundred and twenty thousand.
Zhou Yue took one look, his mouth twitching violently. "How do we handle this?"
The operations manager next to him gave a dry laugh: "Handle it? Just play dead."
So, the official team chose silence once again. No response. No explanation. Their main strategy was to pretend they didn't see it.
Meanwhile, on the dirt slope of Luofeng Village, Lin Zhe watched the world channel full of revelry and bootlicking, his expression remaining calm.
Xing Jianwan stood by his side and whispered: "Now all the players on the server know. Even how many rewards an event gives depends on what you and your son think first."
Lin Zhe said calmly: "This is just the beginning."
Lin Chen hugged the little golden bell he had just exchanged for, shook it, and added in his milky voice: "In the future, whoever wants to have fun playing... has to listen to Daddy."
