Chapter 1909: The Mighty Dragon, BOSS Challenge Begins!
If it were someone else...
They threw in hundreds of millions of Dream Coins, only to lose almost half of them.
I'm afraid I won't want to try it again for a long time.
But Fang Yun looked eager to try.
With the cashback from his purchases, he didn't care whether he made a profit or a loss from shopping sprees.
To put it bluntly.
If it weren't for not wanting to stand out too much.
He even considered taking over this unscrupulous businessman from then on!
For him, as long as he scans something, he's making a profit.
It's impossible for me to lose money; I'll never lose money in my lifetime.
I thought about it.
He simply left his two accounts, 98k and Thousand Lotus, on the rooftop of Chang'an, waiting for the next hourly refresh.
He then opened a new window and logged into Qiancheng's account.
The Spring Festival is just around the corner.
He also saw the information about the launch of this year's Spring Festival event while browsing the maintenance announcement.
Fang Yun wasn't really enthusiastic about Spring Festival activities anymore.
After all, he has neither a lack of money nor a lack of experience now.
Most of the rewards from the Spring Festival activities held little appeal for him.
But he still plans to go and see it, just as an experience.
Log into Qiancheng's account.
Instead of rushing off, he switched back to his desktop and reopened the official website, entering the Spring Festival event page on the homepage.
Firecrackers celebrate the Spring Festival and bid farewell to the old year; auspicious stars bring joy and welcome the New Year!
Upon entering the special page, one sees the bright red page and the title at the top.
Fang Yun's gaze shifted downwards, and he began to look at the various activities for this year.
This year's Spring Festival activities are divided into six parts: "Temple Fair to Celebrate the New Year", "Joyful Defeating of the Nian Beast", "Auspicious Stars Bring Joy", "Firecrackers to Bid Off the Old Year", "Fireworks to Welcome the New Year", and "Sincerely Inviting the Dragon God".
You can tell from the names of these activities.
Over the years, NetEase has developed a relatively fixed model for organizing Spring Festival activities.
In other words, innovation is somewhat lacking.
Of course.
The main focus of Spring Festival activities is still on creating a lively atmosphere; whether they are novel or not is not important, but it's certainly not that important either.
This year's Spring Festival activities are still the familiar ones, such as fighting the Nian monster, setting off fireworks, and drawing mythical beasts.
However, although the types are conventional, there are still some differences in the details.
For Fang Yun.
The most attractive prize of the Spring Festival event was undoubtedly the grand prize, the "Super Dragon".
He has already seen it.
Just like in previous years, the Super Dragon, which is the zodiac animal of this year, has skipped the old version and launched the "Super Dragon (Ren Chen)"!
The most distinctive feature of the Ren Chen Divine Dragon is that it possesses two exclusive skills: "Wind Dragon Soaring" and "Fireworks Sparkling Stars".
The skill effect of Wind Dragon Soars is to increase the damage effect by 10% when the attack speed of the target is lower than that of the user, but this effect only applies to dragon summons.
This skill increases spell damage output rather than spell damage, so it's more important to focus on the magic points on the character panel.
While a 10% increase in damage seems substantial, its limitations are somewhat significant, making it generally mediocre.
What makes this mythical beast truly powerful is its second exclusive skill, "Fireworks Sparkling Stars".
The effect of Fireworks Sparkle is to launch a spell to attack multiple targets. The number of targets attacked is equal to the user's level / 30 + 1, with a maximum of 3 targets.
At first glance, this skill is not outstanding; it's just a four-elemental magic with a different name.
But if you look closely, you'll understand just how powerful this skill is.
Upon entering combat.
Super Dragon (Ren Chen) will have a chance to receive a blessing, which will double the number of targets attacked and deal additional damage to the main target if the number of targets attacked has not reached the limit!
So you understand now?
This "Fireworks Sparkling Star" skill is an extremely powerful area-of-effect attack, and it also has a built-in crowd control mechanism.
Don't underestimate this crowd control mechanism.
The skill was already powerful enough that it could now hit six targets instead of three, and the damage reduction was the same as hitting three targets.
However, if there is only one target left on the field and the dragon is still in the Blessing state.
Then the damage coefficient of Fireworks Star will increase dramatically, almost reaching twice the single-second damage coefficient of a normal spell!
What does it mean to have twice the single-second damage coefficient of a normal four-elemental magic spell?
simply put.
If a normal spell can deal 2500 damage in a single hit.
Therefore, theoretically, Fireworks Star in Blessed state can deal around 5000 damage in a single hit.
Especially when a high magic critical strike is triggered, it's not a dream to break 10,000 damage with a single Firework Star!
In an era before Mount Sumeru even existed.
A magic pet capable of dealing over 10,000 magic damage in an instant.
Whether considering its rarity or practicality, it is already at the absolute top!
So for Fang Yun...
His most important task this Spring Festival was to ensure the successful holding of the Spring Festival Gala.
Secondly, we need to mobilize all our main accounts to focus on acquiring the Super Divine Dragon (Ren Chen) in order to cultivate a batch of high-burst magic pets!
Plan your work schedule for the next period of time in your mind.
Fang Yun closed the webpage and returned to the game, only to see Qiancheng's friend icon flashing.
"Hey Mr. Cheng, wanna join us for the Spring Festival activities?"
Upon opening the message from Beast Master, Fang Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately replied, "Sure, how many seats do you have? I'll take them all!"
Beast Master had only asked casually, after all, Fang Yun's accounts were all completed.
He hasn't participated in any activities with everyone for a long time.
But today, this guy acted out of character. Not only did he agree readily, but he even wanted to book all the remaining parking spaces.
This was somewhat unexpected by Beast Master.
"I'll reserve one seat! There's only one spot, take it or leave it!"
Seeing Huang He, Liu Siyu, and Su Jiu already on the bus, Beast Master replied irritably.
"Just one spot? Sure, wait for me."
Upon learning that there was only one spot left at Beast Master's place, Fang Yun didn't hesitate and controlled Qiancheng to head directly towards the Bell Tower.
Meanwhile, thousands of people were rushing to the Bell Tower.
He then used the secondary computer to log in to five more accounts with the character "千" in their names, forming his own team and heading towards the clock tower.
This year's Spring Festival activities lacked innovation.
But with the blessing of the super dragon (Renchen).
He still needs to seriously work on this, at least to take down the Divine Dragon in Bianliang City.
soon.
Qiancheng and the other accounts all arrived at the mission location.
Fang Yun assigned the captains of the five accounts to the auto-play assistant, while Qian Cheng joined the Beast Lord's team, and then leisurely began their Spring Festival event journey.
……
In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival has arrived.
During this period, Fang Yun did almost nothing but stay at home and bury himself in the Spring Festival activities.
of course.
On New Year's Eve, he didn't forget to call and wish Li Hong and his wife, who were far away in Zhongzhou, as well as close relatives and friends, to extend New Year's greetings, because traditional culture should not be lost.
While he was engrossed in participating in activities and sending New Year's greetings, he also...
With the approach of Lunar New Year's Eve.
The fifth annual Spring Festival Gala in Bianliang City was also launched as scheduled, hosted by Beast Master Sujiu and others.
Fang Yun had previously joked that the official Spring Festival event format was fixed.
However, the format of their own Spring Festival gala has become basically fixed over the years.
This year's Spring Festival Gala is still divided into two parts.
The first part consists of forum activities open to everyone, including "Spring Festival Knowledge Quiz," "Good Fortune in the Year of the Dragon," and "Mythical Beast Lucky Draw."
The Spring Festival knowledge quiz and the mythical beast lucky draw are familiar occurrences.
Anyone who has participated in the Spring Festival Gala before will be familiar with these two activities.
As for the newly added "May you have great fortune in the Year of the Dragon".
This event is actually a variation of the "I am the King of the Tiger" event from the previous Year of the Tiger.
At that time, when the Year of the Tiger activities were held.
To increase the fun and also to benefit the majority of Tiger Head Monster players.
Fang Yun had a sudden inspiration and created a 'ranking competition' based on the number of friends the tiger-headed monster had.
That "I Am King" event in the Year of the Tiger was a huge success. It not only earned the gratitude of all the Tiger Head Monster players, but the novel event mode also greatly boosted the atmosphere, making it a truly lively and exciting event.
It was precisely because of the great success of the "I Am King in the Year of the Tiger" campaign that this event was able to achieve its goals.
This made Fang Yun and his team realize that this activity was just a flash of inspiration that was launched at the time.
It could actually become 'permanent'.
Unfortunately, there aren't many animal designs among the 12 characters in Fantasy Westward Journey.
There are very few characters that can simultaneously satisfy both animal appearance and active appearance requirements.
Apart from the tiger-headed monster.
The only others who can meet these two conditions are the Dragon Prince and the Troll King.
But the Year of the Ox for the Troll King is over, and the next one will be a long time coming.
The remaining dragon princes will have to wait until 2012.
So the event wasn't continued last year for the Year of the Rabbit, and many people thought it had been cancelled.
And now that we've entered the Year of the Dragon...
This previously highly praised 'limited-time event' is finally back online.
The "Good Fortune in the Year of the Dragon" event mode is very simple. It's the same as "I Am King in the Year of the Tiger," where you compete based on the number of your friends. The only difference is that the tiger monster has been replaced by the dragon prince.
But be aware.
Compared to the number of Tiger-Headed Monsters, he is the second most popular character after Swordsman.
The number of Dragon Princes in the game is extremely high!
The "Good Fortune in the Year of the Dragon" event, which just concluded yesterday.
Among the top-ranked participants, their friends were all dressed as the Dragon Prince.
Since everyone has the same number of dragon princes.
This left the host and the others completely bewildered.
In the end, Fang Yun came up with a solution for them.
Since everyone has the same quantity, let's compete on quality!
It's easy to keep the quantities consistent, but it's impossible to keep the levels consistent.
After their screening process.
In the end, a player from Qiyunlou won the first prize in the "Good Fortune in the Year of the Dragon" event, a cash prize of 8888!
A friend won nearly 10,000 yuan in a ranked match.
This made countless other participants green with envy, wishing they could take their place!
But that's exactly what Fang Yun wanted to see.
Just as he had anticipated.
Last year, he suddenly announced his retirement from the front line, handing over the hosting of the Spring Festival Gala to Beast Master, Su Jiu, Huang He, and others, which resulted in a lot of criticism.
This year, the hosts of the Spring Festival Gala were still the same, but there were significantly fewer complaints.
And he could clearly see it.
After realizing that Qiancheng had truly stepped down from his role as a host of the Spring Festival Gala, he was no longer in the running.
More and more participants are focusing their attention on the event itself.
This is why the "Good Fortune in the Year of the Dragon" event almost went wrong this year.
There was no way around it; everyone was just too 'enthusiastic'.
In addition to the fact that the "Good Fortune in the Year of the Dragon" event almost ran into problems.
Even the midnight mythical beast lottery caused their YY channel to lag several times and almost crash due to the massive influx of players.
This made Fang Yun realize.
If we want this event to continue smoothly in the future...
Besides ensuring the rewards are not reduced, he also needs to re-coordinate stability with various departments.
But whatever.
Yesterday's New Year's Eve party was a complete success. Although Beast and the others were exhausted, everyone had a great time.
Most importantly, far fewer players are calling for Fang Yun to return this time.
After the New Year's Eve forum and grand celebration, which was open to everyone, concluded.
Today, the first day of the Lunar New Year, we will be entering a player-only event in Bianliang City.
The activity format within the area remains the same as before.
Moreover, the total number of players in Bianliang City is limited.
So there's no need to worry about the server crashing, just keep going!
The morning's activities have now concluded.
At the end of the event, Sujiu, who was serving as the alternate host, finally took to the microphone.
"The morning's activities have come to a successful conclusion. Thank you again for your enthusiastic participation."
As usual, the morning activities were first announced to be over, followed by...
Then Sujiu continued, "At 2 PM this afternoon, we will be holding a new round of activities, and the name of this activity is the 'BOSS' Challenge. Please sign up!"
"BOSS Challenge? Isn't this the mysterious new event that Brother Cheng announced back then?"
"Wow! I thought this event wouldn't start until the last day, but it started today!"
"It's here! Dude, I've been waiting for so many days just to see what this BOSS challenge is all about!"
"It's 11:30 now, and judging from what Su Jiu said, this event requires registration? Will it be complicated?"
"Why worry about so much? Anyway, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the details of the event will be announced soon."
"Quick, quick, I need to hear the event rules!..."
Sujiu simultaneously announced the afternoon's activities via YY and the public chat.
The players in Bianliang City, who were immersed in the excitement of the morning's activities, were first stunned, and then erupted in chaos!
The new BOSS Challenge event is not unfamiliar to players in Bianliang City.
the reason is simple.
This happened just a few days after the All-Star Game.
Fang Yun personally announced the existence of this event.
The event's name was so strange that many people debated its specific details for quite some time.
The result was unexpected.
Following yesterday's New Year's Eve celebration and this morning's first wave of activities in Bianliang City.
Sujiu actually brought out this brand new event that had countless people scratching their heads in frustration!
How could this not excite everyone?
Upon learning this news.
Many players immediately started running to the bottom of the arena, completely ignoring the price, and frantically started using temporary buffs.
Although they do not yet know the specific rules of the event.
But that doesn't prevent them from understanding.
Regardless of the event rules, this event is most likely to be related to combat!
Since a battle is inevitable, combat strength must be an important factor.
So what they have to do is very simple.
Before the event rules are released, I will fill all the temporary slots to try and get a good ranking in this event!
