After returning from the big shot's place in a daze, Huang Zaixu blankly turned on his computer.
Before long, the instant messaging software, which started automatically, began to beep incessantly.
He moved the mouse and clicked on the incoming messages.
Looking at the messages from more than a dozen friends, he sighed helplessly.
Then, he began to reply to them one by one.
Huang Zaixu (Happy Fried Rice with Egg): Don't rush me, brothers. I almost lost my life out there today.
(Wheat Seed): What happened?
(Happy Fried Rice with Egg): I was caught by a big shot from a gang and am going to work for them. I won't be able to play LOL with you guys anymore.
(Wheat Seed): You too? This happened to you as well?
(Happy Fried Rice with Egg): What's wrong? Did a lot of people get into trouble today?
As he chatted with his friends, Huang Zaixu learned that many people had been forced to change careers today.
Other friends who were as unlucky as him were in similar situations.
They were all forced to switch to playing the game DNF.
After closing the chat windows with his friends,
Huang Zaixu had no choice but to temporarily uninstall League of Legends and download DNF instead.
He hadn't played this game for three years.
Although he still remembered how to play, that was a very long time ago. He would have to spend time learning the current version.
He didn't have much time.
The big shot would give him money so that his game level would reach the maximum level as soon as possible.
Then, he would have to max out things like costumes, pets, and titles.
The only thing he had to farm himself was equipment.
He learned from the big shot that he would be forming a raid race team with three other unfamiliar teammates.
They would clear the upcoming Innovation Era's latest raid.
It seemed to be a game of competition between big figures at the level of the big shot's big shot.
Whoever won would get a large area of territory.
The big shot didn't tell him where exactly, but just told him to focus on equipping his game character and cooperate with the other three teammates to defeat the opponents.
The raids were Antun and Luke.
The big shots were competing in the Luke raid.
So, he only needed to learn the Luke raid's clear mechanics with his teammates and continuously improve their speedrun on this basis.

Today, many young Koreans switched to playing DNF.
Many famous Korean game streamers, with bruised and swollen faces, also announced to their fans and viewers that they were switching to DNF.
Although many young Koreans had heard some inside information,
the rapid development of the situation still caught everyone off guard.
The matter was still slowly fermenting.
The Korean DNF server gradually began to show various signs of being full. After consulting with Li Yun, several Korean planners and operators had no choice but to increase the number of servers.
And the in-game currency exchange rate also began to fluctuate wildly.
Domestic players who frequented the Korean server circle also suddenly discovered the abnormal phenomenon of the Korean DNF server suddenly becoming popular when they logged into the game in the afternoon.
They learned about the major earthquake in the Korean game circle that happened today through inquiries with their friends in Korea.
LOL was abandoned!
Now, all the game live streams in Korea have become DNF.
Thanks to Huang Zaixu's reminder, the big shot who threatened him, although he didn't let him go, also shifted his attention to those well-known game streamers.
The subordinates of the two camps began to frantically compete for streamers with good game skills on the Korean internet.
The two clearly defined competitive camps quickly set off a considerable wave on the foreign internet.
The major changes in the Korean game circle naturally affected China.
It should be known that there are also many DNF players in China.
Especially in the current Antun and Luke versions, it is the version with the largest number of players in the history of domestic DNF.
Naturally, rumors of a game competition between two big figures in Korea also spread back to China.
Although it was not stated which two big figures were competing,
players with a little bit of brains realized that the game DNF was about to soar to great heights.
The happiest people were the game studios.
The increase in players playing this game meant that their game studios were more valuable.
However, before they could be happy for long,
the Chinese server officially announced that it was preparing to synchronize with the Korean server.
The slight version difference with the Korean server was directly synchronized through a rough update.
And the DNF on the Korean server directly changed, becoming the same as the DNF in China, requiring top-ups to purchase game currency for everything.
In the past, packages, titles, pets, costumes, etc., could all be purchased with game currency.
But now, that was no longer possible.
They could only be purchased by topping up game currency.
Tencent's pay-to-win style finally blew to the Korean server.
Most importantly, Koreans had no choice but to play this game! The big figures above personally spoke.
Korean players who made a living by playing games had no choice but to bite the bullet and compete fiercely in this game.
They would only be able to earn money in this game in the future.
As for LOL, no one was playing it now. Even power leveling couldn't earn money anymore.
Players with demand all ran to DNF. League of Legends was directly abandoned in Korea.
As time passed,
the first week of the competition quietly arrived.
After Li Yun announced some changes, he stopped caring about the life or death of the operations team, only telling them that the game equipment in the future was not allowed to be shoddy and must be made of uniform standardized equipment.
Also, cancel any giveaway activities!
Eliminate all free-to-play players!
Still retain the randomness of opening mystery boxes in the Abyss mode. All future high-level equipment must have unique attributes, etc.
A bunch of kimchi were scolded by Li Yun like grandsons. Several guys who wanted to resign were stared at by watchful gang members.
The grievances bottled up in their stomachs, they didn't dare to say them.
Li Yun knew what they wanted, nothing more than a raise.
If it were a domestic game team, Li Yun might have directly agreed, but these Koreans?
It was already good that Li Yun didn't have people beat them up hard.
Still want a raise?
How many DNF players would have to thank Li Yun fiercely, otherwise after the Luke version, it would be the time for a large-scale exodus of DNF players.
Look at what this bunch of dog Koreans made in the Super Time 空 version!
Li Yun's purpose in forcibly acquiring this company this time was to change the original fate of DNF.
Dare to cut corners again, and they would be beaten up hard.
Once they were honest, other teams would be found to do a good job of developing the game.
And in China, Li Yun's own game company was a little dumbfounded, looking at the DNF team members who had fallen from the sky.
They had obtained the ownership of a popular game for no reason?
Was this not a dream?
