DNF Return to 2008

Chapter 16 National Fighting Tournament
After working the day shift for several days in a row, An Yi didn't see the Goth girl again.

Arrived on the 25th.

"Ayi, come here to collect your salary!"

Today, Liao Shiqian came to the Internet cafe early with a boss bag on his waist.

"Okay!" Upon hearing this, An Yi put down the work in his hands and walked over happily.

Liao Shiqian took out a stack of banknotes from his briefcase, untied the tie, counted out nine red suns, and took out the account book, "Confirm it, and sign if there is no problem."

An Yi took the money, confirmed it was correct, and signed his name in the account book.

"Well, the salary has arrived... top up the account!"

An Yi stroked the nine red suns in his hands.

Based on his daily food expenses of 20 yuan, he would need at least 600 yuan a month, but he could only recharge yuan into the game.

Although it's not much, it's enough for me to feel comfortable and confident and show my talents.

"Ayi, please help me put up these posters."

Tong Yanyan brought back a few large game posters from somewhere, pointed at the "Zhengtu" posters on the wall, and said, "Replace those posters and put up these..."

"Okay."

An Yi responded and put the money in his pocket first.

When I opened the poster, I saw it was from "Dungeon & Fighter".

He found a ladder and tape from the utility room and started by tearing down the advertisement for ZT.

The game "Zhengtu" is a large-scale online game developed and operated by Giant Interactive in 2006. It was once known as the "2D online game terminator" and the "final work of 2D online games" in China.

With its "free game, paid props" game model, it directly ended the time-based point card charging model of games such as "Legend", "Miracle" and "Knight" introduced from South Korea for many years.

It can be said that it pioneered online games in China.

The gimmick of free game was so terrifying that "Zhengtu" swept all the Internet cafes in a short time.

Its promotion channels are also very wild. In addition to using ground-based marketing tactics in Internet cafes of all sizes, it once put its advertisements on the 7-second prime advertising space of the News Broadcast.

Even in the urinals of the Internet cafes, there is a sentence from Zhengtu: "Come and go in a hurry"...

If it were two years ago, some Internet cafe administrators could act as ZT promoters, and they would receive extra commission for every player they brought in or sold point-of-sale cards, which was a considerable income.

Unfortunately, China's online games are developing rapidly. Two years later, with the popularization of LCD screens, "Zhengtu", an online game with a rough "earthy" style, was no longer suitable for the aesthetic tastes of the new generation of young people, and eventually died under the wheel of history.

However, many of the charging models pioneered by Zhengtu have been digested by other friendly companies, and they have been used even better than before.

It is not difficult to see that Boss Shi is indeed a marketing genius. Brain Gold, Brain Gold...

But is there anything good in the world that is free?
Often free is the most expensive!

Boss Shi is dubbed the "ancestor of krypton gold" by many netizens, and it is not unfair at all.

An Yi and Tong Yanyan worked together to quickly replace the DNF poster with a new one.

"The first national fighting competition of Dungeon Fighter. Never give up! I am the fighting king!"

"Super popular online fighting game, million-dollar celebration! Waiting for you to participate!"

In the poster, a fighter with a Band-Aid on his face and a ghost swordsman who has unleashed the power of the ghost hand are the main characters.

The rest of the gunmen included male gunmen wearing small round sunglasses and holding automatic pistols in their hands, looking handsome and cool.

The content of the poster is the registration process for the first national fighting competition.

The first stage is the National Rising Star Selection Competition, the second stage is the Media Competition and Invitational Competition, and the third stage is the Fighting King Competition...

The competition will run from August 8st to mid-October.

There are many "generous" rewards, such as black diamonds, resurrection coins, magic juice, and a grand prize of 10,000 yuan...

"Emmm, the first Fighting King, his name will go down in history!"

An Yi held his chin in his hand and admired it.

"Ayi, aren't you playing this game? There's a jackpot of 10,000 yuan. Why don't you try it?"

Tong Yanyan nudged him with her elbow and said with a smile.

"Sister Yan, stop making fun of me." An Yi shook his head.

He had a particularly deep memory of the first Fighting King, where heroes from all walks of life gathered.

PKC is extremely unbalanced now. The ghost sword technique in Sword Soul has no CD, and one upward slash is like a ghost beast, which continues until death.

There is also ammunition. An ice mine can freeze it, and a burst of incendiary bombs can kill it directly.

The battle mage also has various infinite pseudo combos and blue fist pushes, and the opponent can only take his hands off the keyboard.

In short, the demons are dancing wildly, one after another takes the stage.

But the most perverted one is undoubtedly the Poison King!
The 99% miss rate of provocation, the abnormal damage of poison application is outrageous... Even the passive of 'Poisonous Blood' is very abnormal. Maybe the blood lost by others is not as much as the other party's counter-injury and poisoning!

However, things are always unexpected. Who would have thought that two months later, the first Fighting King would not be the Poison King, but his uncle...

The minimum level requirement for registration this time is Lv45, and his little street fighter can't even reach the threshold... Even if he does, he doesn't dare to go!

Although he thinks he is good at DNF and his PK skills are actually pretty good, as long as he is willing to spend time, it will be no problem for him to reach the Red Honor level.

But compared with those real PK masters, there is still a big gap.

With the new game posters, Maple Leaf Internet Cafe seemed to have a brand new look.

Many customers saw the handsome poster of DNF. Those who have played the game felt proud, and those who have not played the game were also aroused with curiosity.

These Internet cafe posters are not put up for nothing. The Internet cafes naturally receive income from the game agents.

It’s just that Maple Leaf Internet Cafe is too small after all. Otherwise, it would be easy to get a privileged or themed Internet cafe in some super large Internet cafes like Guangzhou, located in Guangdong, the base of Pony Ma.

Just today, July 7th, the DNF official website released a good news that the number of people online at the same time as "Dungeon & Fighter" exceeded 25!

What does 50 million people mean?
Although DNF has opened several new areas during this period, there are only about twenty areas in total.

This is equivalent to 10,000 to 20,000 people online at the same time in each district during peak hours...

Every weekend, Guangnan District 1 becomes a sea of ​​pink starting at 10 o'clock, and it is common for players to squeeze in line for an hour or two.

Sometimes, once you squeeze in, you will be disconnected, which will make even a warrior as strong as steel cry.

"He said the game of Disconnected City and Weak Warriors is really fun. He was disconnected three times while walking to the entrance of the dungeon..."

Every three steps, the screen freezes; every five steps, the screen stops; in the blink of an eye, the screen goes black...

In short, the players in the sixteen ancient regions are suffering.

“The popularity of DNF is undeniable… Make money!”

After finally getting off work, An Yi did not go to Huanyu Internet Cafe, but looked for a computer at Maple Leaf.

Although he just received his salary today, the Internet fees for going to other Internet cafes are a considerable expense, and he must spend his money wisely.

But today is Friday, and there are a lot of customers in Maple Leaf Internet Cafe. After looking around, An Yi could only find a relatively hidden computer in a corner.

The reason why no one is boarding the plane in this corner is because there is that old man hanging on the wall next to it.

The white shirt that the old man had worn for a long time seemed to have become a bit patinated and emitted a faint sour smell.

"No wonder no one sits next to him..."

An Yi sniffed and had no choice but to sit down.

The man in the shirt next to him glanced sideways, as if curious about whether there was someone sitting next to him?

However, when he saw that it was the network administrator of the Internet cafe, he quietly put down his feet that were resting on the glass table.

"It took just over a week to reach level 40. It wasn't easy!"

After logging into the game, An Yi looked at his Street Fighter level which had just reached Level 40 and was quite satisfied.

He controlled Street Fighter and came to Feng Zhen, learning a round of skills.

The basic ones are maxed out: uppercut, poison, provocation, ancient memory, physical and magic critical strikes...

It is worth mentioning that basic skills such as ancient memory and back jump have to be learned in Celia's room.

As for 'Forced Back Jump', he didn't learn it because it required 100 SP points, and it would be too bad for the Poison King to learn it...

Whirlwind Kick +1, Eagle Step +1, Moon-Catching Flame +5 to force, and max out the Tiger Subduing Overlord Fist.

For throwing items, the poison shadow needle +5, brick attack is maxed out, sand throwing +1, and double throwing is maxed out.

Lv35 skill "Heavenly Net" is maxed out, the poisonous concubine's magical skill, no explanation needed.

The Lv40 skill poison mine detonation +1 is just a token of its own.

With so many skills, the only 6 skill shortcut bars cannot accommodate them all, and the skill commands cannot be changed now. Players can only memorize them and rely on manual manipulation.

Those with good skills can play smoothly and are respected as "big brother" or "octopus", while those with average skills can enjoy themselves by just doing some "flowing heart" and "stupid".

It’s also nice to see those who are just bad and can’t come up with a skill after a long time.

I can only say that the current DNF has full arcade pedigree and the gameplay is very hardcore.

Fortunately, An Yi's hand speed at the age of 18 is only slightly slower than Octopus's...

There isn't really any school of thought when it comes to playing Poison King now, since the server has only been open for over a month and no one has done in-depth research on this profession yet.

Most general players will max out Eagle Stomp because this skill has a short CD. Leaping up and stomping on it three times in a row not only has a long-term stiffness effect, but also has very high damage.

But An Yi gave up and added all throwing skills.

He wanted to play the most awesome style of the Poison King so far - the frisbee throwing style!
