186: Rubbing salt into the wound

If he had the chance, Xu Lian really wanted to visit Yunteng Game Company and thank their boss in person.

If Yunteng hadn't stirred up this storm, how could Aoyou Tianxia Game Company have become famous so quickly?

Not to mention the surge in users and the nearly doubled revenue in such a short time!

All of this was thanks to Yunteng Game Company.

If the boss of Yunteng Game Company knew what Xu Lian was thinking right now, he would probably be so angry he'd spit blood; this was practically rubbing salt in the wound and attacking his heart.

Since Aoyou Tianxia Game Company was making money, Xu Lian naturally wouldn't forget to reward the hardworking employees.

It was precisely because of these employees' efforts, constantly guarding the servers, that the company's games could operate normally.

Otherwise, the money they earned wouldn't be able to be kept, what a pity.

For all company employees, Xu Lian once again raised everyone's salary by ten percent; of course, each person's increase varied depending on their previous salary base.

However, employees at Aoyou Tianxia already had a high starting salary; even the security guard at the entrance received a thousand yuan raise.

Because of this, everyone was full of enthusiasm!

Even after just experiencing that storm, no one felt tired; instead, they were full of fighting spirit.

"I finally chose the right company; the previous one only squeezed us dry, President Xu is so much better!"

"Exactly, President Xu is really good to us, he never gets angry with us."

"That's right, last time I asked President Xu to borrow money for something, he directly told the finance department to transfer the money to me; it's truly lucky to have such a boss."

"As long as President Xu doesn't fire me, I plan to work here until retirement."

"Many people are vying to get into our company; if you want to stay, you have to improve yourselves, otherwise, if you get fired, you can only blame yourselves for being incompetent."

"We all know that; many friends around me hear that I work at Aoyou Tianxia and are incredibly envious, complaining about their current superiors, and glad to have a boss like President Xu."

"Alright, alright, hurry up and get back to work!"

The news of the raise made everyone happy and also made them understand what a good work environment was like, and what kind of job was one where you were used and then discarded.

But Aoyou Tianxia was not that kind of place.

Xu Lian would never burn bridges.

Currently, Xu Lian was a bit bored in his office, not knowing what to do.

Just then, Lin Weixin knocked and entered, looking a bit tired: "President Xu, the Dungeon & Fighter Second Awakening version is ready."

Hearing this, Xu Lian immediately sat up straight.

Regarding the development of Dungeon & Fighter's Second Awakening, Xu Lian had already arranged for Lin Weixin to lead the team to start working on it.

Logically, it should have been completed a week ago.

But it was delayed for a period due to that storm, but now it was done!

Xu Lian was also incredibly excited.

When he was waiting for the Second Awakening back then, he was as crazy as the players, staying up late for updates, then pulling all-nighters to grind quests until his fatigue points ran out before reluctantly logging off to sleep.

His goal at that time was to learn new skills for his favorite character; the transformation effect of the big red dog was truly cool, and with good epic equipment, one awakening skill could instantly kill the BOSS, which was incredibly satisfying!

Originally, the Second Awakening should have been released before Antoun, but because there were too many pay-to-win players, level 70 epic equipment and weapons were already enough to clear the dungeon, and it was also perfectly suited for challenging Antoun.

Every player made their epic equipment very powerful, so they wouldn't be instantly killed, nor would they be unable to defeat it, perfectly fitting the Antoun version.

If the Second Awakening was released early, those pay-to-win players might easily clear Antoun, which would reduce the fun of this dungeon.

To ensure the experience of the twenty-person raid dungeon, Xu Lian released the Antoun version ahead of time.

Therefore, level 80 and the Second Awakening were placed later, which made Dungeon & Fighter's replayability higher and higher.

After all, as Antoun gradually concluded, there were new dungeons and epic equipment waiting for players, which would give them more drive.

Otherwise, Xu Lian wouldn't have done this.

It should be noted that modifying the version required a complicated procedure, and once a mistake occurred, the entire game might crash, which made him extra cautious.

And now Xu Lian had the complete Dungeon & Fighter data in his hand, allowing him to adjust any version according to his ideas and create various interesting gameplay.

Now that the new Second Awakening version had been developed, Xu Lian was naturally eager to release it.

"Send out the promotional video."

Xu Lian looked at the weary Lin Weixin and smiled: "This matter is settled, you and your team can take a few days off."

At Aoyou Tianxia Game Company, the most hardworking team was the one Lin Weixin was in charge of; they often had to deal with various patching tasks, especially before and after new versions were launched.

After all, once a new version was released, the problems of the old version also had to be resolved.

If the new and old versions didn't interface well, that would truly be a big problem!

So... even though level 80 and the Second Awakening were both ready, Lin Weixin and her team still had to test repeatedly until there were no problems at all before it was considered a success.

Otherwise, once a mistake occurred, it would be irreversible.

"Okay, President Xu, I'll go do it now."

Lin Weixin nodded slightly, responded, and then left Xu Lian's office.

The fatigue on her face slowly faded.

As soon as this promotional video was released, her entire team could finally rest for a few days; just thinking about it made her feel much more relaxed.

Of course, she had to finish the work at hand first.

[Aoyou Tianxia Game Company V: Dungeon & Fighter is about to usher in a major update!

The maximum level cap will be raised to 80, and all classes will unlock their Second Awakening! The game update time will be from 12 AM to 12 PM the next day!]

[View details of new skills for each class at level 80...]

[View the Second Awakening promotional video for each class...]

Lin Weixin uploaded all the promotional videos for level 80 and the Second Awakening to Weibo, then officially clocked out.

As soon as the news was released, it immediately sparked a heated discussion among Dungeon & Fighter players and fans!

Everyone had anticipated the level increase, but the newly added Second Awakening surprised many.

Many fan players immediately clicked to watch the Second Awakening promotional video, all wanting to see what the new changes were like.

Everyone was very much looking forward to it!

"Finally, this day has come; my Dungeon & Fighter has finally been updated!"

"I've really waited too long; I've been looking forward to an update every day, and today it finally arrived!"

"I don't know why, but I suddenly really miss Richard! Richard is invincible!"

"Is this Second Awakening really not as good as Richard? Although it's not as good as Richard, it's really cool!"

"Cool? Can just the word 'cool' describe it? No, right? It's simply super incredibly handsome!"
