Excalibur Network Technology's "Legend" is much smoother than the grand "Legend" in history.

First of all, with Song Weiyang, a big financier, standing behind, the initial promotion is not bad at all. It's like when Shanda "Legend" first started charging, it couldn't even pay employees' salaries, and even the game servers were "free" trials.

Secondly, the technical strength is much stronger. Song Weiyang drew a few people from Jinshan, recruited some people externally, and set up a "network security department" in Shenjian Technology. This department usually assists in the fight against cheats, but the real role is to defend against hacker attacks.

Historically, just over two months after Shanda "Legend" announced its charges, the server was hacked by hackers, and all customer information was stolen, and a huge amount of protection money was extorted. At that time, Shanda was almost killed by hackers, Chen Tianqiao directly chose to call the police, and offered a reward of 300,000 yuan to arrest the culprit.

Song Weiyang's Excalibur Network Technology Company, on the third day of "Legend" charging, the game server was hacked. Until now, it has been attacked as many as 6 times in more than half a year, almost once every month and a half. Except for one time when it was hacked and temporarily shut down for 4 hours (claiming to be maintenance), and another time when a large number of players were hacked and disconnected, Excalibur's Cyber Security Department has achieved an overwhelming victory.

Again, Excalibur Network is a "self-developed" game, without the drag of Korean companies.

Shanda "Legend" has countless bugs, what to copy items, brush money and gold bars, resulting in serious inflation in the game. The Korean company is still dragging its feet on not repairing it, and Shanda begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother, and every time he encountered a bug, he could only pretend to be a grandson. Although there are many bugs in Excalibur Network's "Legend", they will be fixed as soon as possible, without waiting for South Korea to do it slowly.

The most important thing is that the emergence of private servers was not so early, and Shanda "Legend" had a private server in 2002 because the Korean company leaked the source code.

All of the above favorable conditions allow Excalibur Network's "Legend" to update the game calmly according to the established plan. There will not be a situation where a certain version has just been updated, and suddenly there is a flood of equipment due to bugs, and you are forced to update the version again.

So "Legend" has been online for almost a year, and at this time, the highest level of players is only level 39, and the level 40 version will not be updated until September.

Western Science and Technology Park.

More than 2,000 players from all over the country are gathering together at this moment, and many local tyrants even come by plane.

The first "Legend of the World's First Martial Arts Meeting" of Excalibur Network has come to an end, and Song Weiyang personally presented awards to the winners, and this gimmick directly turned many players upside down.

In the lounge, Prince Dan was tossed upside down and sat there in a god of war suit.

"You're the warrior who hacked me to death?" a fat man in a Dharma God suit walked over.

"It's me," Prince Dan looked at the other party a few times and teased, "Your outfit fits well, it's very powerful and domineering." ”

The clothes on the fat man's body were about to be torn, he sat down cautiously, and said with a wry smile: "This is the largest size, I almost can't wear it, and now it makes my back hurt." ”

The two didn't talk a few words in the lounge, and suddenly another Taoist priest came in, and it was a female Taoist priest. Her appearance can only barely be called a beauty, but the gorgeous Dao God suit perfectly outlines her curves, which instantly makes the two men in the room look straight.

"The champion turned out to be a woman?" Prince Dan said in surprise.

The fat man said, "I thought it was a shemale. ”

In this competition held by Shenjian Network, you can sign up for it by paying 100 yuan, and you can earn more than 2 million yuan from the registration fee alone.

Contestants are thrown into the tournament server, and the class can be chosen, and they come out at level 30, wearing only ordinary whiteboard equipment. These more than 20,000 people have a week to upgrade and change their clothes, but they can only be online for eight hours a day (anti-addiction), not only can they fight each other in the field, but even the safe areas in the city can PK, and if they die once, they will directly lose the qualification to continue the game.

The last survivors, divided into three groups according to their professions, gathered in Sand City to fight in a big fight, and won the first warrior, the first mage, and the first Taoist.

Then let these three professional smash brawls to determine the champion, runner-up and third runner-up.

Prince Dan is a native of Yicheng, in the city next door to Song Weiyang's hometown. This young man belongs to leveling freaks, often playing games in a single room with friends, sometimes eating and sleeping in Internet cafes for a month, and now he is the only player in the whole server who has been promoted to level 39, and he is only a little bit of experience away from level 40 full level - even if Shi Yuzhu hired the game secretary to train him, it is only level 38 now, and there is still 7% experience value from level 39.

In another time and space, Prince Dan was directly rewarded with a dragon slayer because of his highest level, and it was also the only dragon slayer in "Legend" for a long time. At this time, he likes to act alone, and often "acts chivalrous", and when he sees someone bullying more and less, he goes up to help indiscriminately. This person should have a good family condition and resolutely not sell his account, otherwise with his account and equipment, he can directly exchange for a house in the capital.

It's a pity that in this time and space, Prince Dan doesn't have a dragon slaying knife. He signed up for the world's No. 1 martial arts tournament and fought for a week on the tournament server, although the equipment he played was not the most awesome, but his level was the highest among all the players. He seems to have his own special leveling skills, which are faster than the leveling speed of a mage - the mage's leveling consumes blue too fast, and it is embarrassing not to have someone to deliver the potion.

In the finals, this female Taoist priest was very obscene, and she kept running circles when the dog came out.

And the mage controlled by the dead fat man pulled hatred in various ways, set fire to the wall everywhere with a magic shield, and burned the relatively narrow competition area. This move prompted Prince Dan and the female Taoist priest to join forces, and the two worked together to eliminate the dead fat man. Then Prince Dan thought that he had won the championship, because the Taoist PK belonged to the weak chicken, and he could easily kill it.

It's a pity that Prince Dan fought too upright before, rushing forward with the various skills of the mage, and the blood bottle in the backpack has been almost eaten. The female Taoist priest was always paddling, and the consumption was not large, and finally relied on drinking medicine, leveling A and throwing poison, and then recruiting dogs to interfere, and grinded the soldiers of Prince Dan to death.

When the results of the game were announced yesterday, the whole server was in an uproar, and no one expected that the Taoist priest with the weakest PK chicken would win the championship.

"Are you Xiaoyue Lanxin?" Prince Dan stood up with a smile and said hello, the moment he saw the other party, the resentment in his heart disappeared. You can't get angry with a beautiful woman just because you lose the game, right?

"Hello. The female Taoist priest smiled and nodded.

The dead fat man also stood up, stretched out his fleshy hand and said, "Hello Lan Xin, I am a monk who washes his hair with Reosoft." ”

Several staff members suddenly came in, carrying three weapons in their hands.

"This is a new weapon at level 40?" Prince Dan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't even look at the beauty.

The level 40 version of "Legend" has released simple information, the version name is "Battle of the Three Artifacts", it only says that three weapons will be added, and the drop of "shoes" will be opened. But what these three new weapons look like, the teaser information didn't reveal it at all, it just made people feel awesome, after all, they were "three artifacts".

A man with a work tag on his chest said, "Yes, this is the new weapon in the 'War of the Three Artifacts' version. Later, when you appear, Xiaoyue Lanxin will take the Heavenly Sword, Prince Dan will take the Dragon Slaying Knife, and the monk will wash his hair and use Reao Rou to take the Heavenly Demon Battle. You don't need to talk much, just put a few Pose. ”

Prince Dan carried the blade like a door panel, and couldn't put it down: "It turns out that the new weapon of the warrior is called the Dragon Slayer Knife, it is too powerful, is this a reward for our competition?"

The staff member smiled: "I'm sorry, the Heavenly Sword, the Dragon Slayer and the Heavenly Wand, only the new boss who kills level 40 can have a very low chance of exploding, and the official will not reward them in any event." ”

The dead fat man was a little dissatisfied: "Why are their weapons called the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Slayer, and they are very awesome when they hear it, but I am a celestial wand with no reputation?"

"The name was given by the development team, and I don't know. Said the staff.

The front desk has already started to perform, and Shenjian Network Technology Company has invested heavily this time and invited Yuquan Group, Flower Band, and Zero Point Band to be guest performers. According to the number of seats, on-site tickets ranging from 100 yuan to 200 yuan, even if you only listen to these stars sing, the audience can completely earn back the ticket price.

"Please below, the third runner-up of this year's 'Legend World's First Martial Arts Association', the legendary first mage, a monk from the second area of the light to wash his hair with Reorou!"

The dead fat man wore a magic god suit that was about to explode, and appeared with a heavenly wand taller than himself, and from time to time he smiled sideways and waved his hand to the audience.

"Hahahaha!"

After a dead silence, the audience burst into laughter, and more than 2,000 players and dozens of reporters were amused by laughter.

"Please below, the runner-up of this year's 'Legend No. 1 Martial Arts Association in the World', the first warrior of the legend, Prince Dan from the first district of Kaitian!"

Prince Dan appeared with the door blade on his shoulder, although his dress was decent, but the familiar God of War suit still made the players roar excitedly.

"Next, please, the champion of this year's 'Legend World's No. 1 Martial Arts Association', the legendary No. 1 Daoist, Xiaoyue Lanxin from the Flame Zone 1!"

"Wow!"

"Beauty!"

"The champion is a woman!"

"Legend", a game that focuses on PK, there are not many girl players, as long as the appearance is a little more normal, you can be regarded as a big beauty. What's more, Xiaoyue Lanxin is the overall champion of the competition, the legendary first Taoist, and she is in good shape, which instantly made the audience boil.

"Phew!"

Shi Yuzhu also came in person today, and sat in the front row, standing up and whistling wildly.

By the way, Shi Yuzhu also signed up for the competition, but unfortunately he didn't even touch the finals brawl, and was hacked to death when he was training in the field and grabbing equipment.

The host began interviewing the three winners, and then announced: "On September 11 this year, the first anniversary of the launch of Legend, we will launch the 'Battle of the Three Artifacts' version. This version will update a large map with the 'Temple of Law', 'Temple of War', and 'Temple of the Dao'. These temples are polluted by evil aura, demons are rampant inside and outside the temples, and the statues of the three gods are also infected with filthy air and become monsters. Warriors of the Zhongzhou Continent, you must do your best to purify the temple, and if you kill the monsters in the temple, you will have a chance to burst out of the three artifacts! These three artifacts are the weapons held by the three people around me. They are: Heavenly Sword, level requirement 40, weight 47, attack 5-13, Dao 4-10. Dragon Slayer Knife, level 40, weight 100, attack 5-35. Celestial Wand, level 40, weight 28, attack 6-13, magic 2-9. ”

"Legend" has been changed beyond recognition by Jinshan Studios, and even from the level 35 version, even the map is made by itself, which has nothing to do with the original Korean version.

Well, the main thing is that when the agency contract was signed, the Korean company gave only the initial few versions, and the subsequent content could only be self-reliant.

In the face of the new version and new weapon, what is the beauty?

The eyes of all the players on the scene shifted to the three weapons, and they couldn't wait to purify the temple. Obviously, the three statues of the gods that were polluted in the temple of the three gods must be the three bosses after the update, and if they are killed, the three artifacts can be exploded.

Heavenly Sword!

Dragon Slayer!

Even if it's the stick called the Heavenly Wand, the appearance is cool enough, and it is definitely a wind to propose to beat people!

Among those live players, there are also people from several game companies. At this moment, everyone was thoughtful, because the activities of the Excalibur Network were very groundbreaking. Whether it is pulling players from the whole server into the game uniform, inviting well-known singers to perform, or cosplaying games with three people, it is an unprecedented breakthrough in China's online game industry.

Go back and let your own boss learn to do it, which will definitely attract the attention of players!

Shi Yuzhu doesn't have the idea of making his own game yet, he just looks forward to updating the version as soon as possible, and he must get the dragon slayer knife in his hands. No matter how powerful the ruling is, how can there be a dragon slaying knife domineering? Playing a warrior should take a dragon slaying knife!

It's a pity that the three major bosses are only refreshed once a day, and the explosion rate of the three artifacts is maddeningly low. For two months, in the whole server, only 5 Heavenly Wands and 2 Heavenly Swords were exploded, and even the shadow of the Dragon Slayer could not be seen. It wasn't until the end of the year that someone in the second district of Kaitian played the first dragon slaying knife, and it was especially damn that the temple guards blew it out, and the odds were almost the same as buying a lottery ticket for 5 million.

A local tyrant directly offered 300,000 yuan, and the players were still amazed, and someone immediately shouted 500,000 yuan.

The two sides quickly reached a deal, and the local tyrant who spent 500,000 yuan to buy the first dragon slayer knife in the whole server directly took the entire union to the second district of Kaitian. And the lucky person who broke out the dragon slaying knife was originally from an ordinary working family, currently studying in a second college in the capital, and immediately bought a house in the fourth ring of the capital after getting the money, a 102-square-meter three-bedroom off-plan house, and there were still 20,000 or 30,000 yuan left after the full payment.

After the news was reported, the whole country was in an uproar.

It's hard for people to imagine that just playing a game, a weapon in the game can be exchanged for a house in the fourth ring of the capital?

"Legend" players have gone crazy, squatting in the temple all day long, PK hacking more people to death than the monsters killed. It wasn't until the Spring Festival in 2003 that someone finally broke out the second dragon slayer, and this time the players didn't sell it, and the local tyrants couldn't buy it at a price of 600,000.

But among the player group, there are all kinds of legends: the nephew of my classmate's cousin's neighbor hit a dragon slayer some time ago and sold it for 1 million. I quit my job, I bought a car and a house every day, and the guy who was paralyzed was so lucky!
