Chapter 2127 adds a new segment: Lucky Star of the Year!
I took a stroll outdoors.
Before anyone could discover him, Fang Yun quickly returned to the museum.
The contestants' rehearsals were nearing their end, so instead of going back, he went straight into his private lounge in Bianliang City, lay down on the sofa, and started scrolling through his phone.
A moment later.
After the rehearsal was completed, Beast and the others all returned.
Instead of staying there any longer, they declined the official lunch invitation and went to a nearby restaurant for a meal before returning to the hotel to rest and prepare for tomorrow's match.
……
The next day, early in the morning.
Fang Yun, who went to bed before 10 p.m. last night, got up very early.
After getting up, he didn't dawdle at all, took a shower, and went straight to the restaurant on the third floor of the hotel.
To his surprise,
He had already gotten up early enough.
When they arrived at the restaurant, they discovered that he was the last one to arrive!
"No, you didn't sleep last night, did you?"
Seeing Beast Master Huang He and the others enjoying their breakfast with their own plates, Fang Yun, having gotten his food, sat down beside them and couldn't help but ask.
Upon hearing this, Beast swallowed the meat bun in his hand in one gulp before replying disdainfully, "Although I'm usually a bit unreliable, when have I ever messed up in a competition? You just overslept!"
"I'm fucking...!"
I never imagined that one day I would be mocked by Beast Master, a lazy person, for sleeping in too late.
Fang Yun was speechless and too lazy to argue with him. She picked up her chopsticks and quickly started eating her breakfast.
While eating breakfast, he also took out his phone to check online trends.
This year's Fantasy All-Star event has reached a new level of popularity, thanks to the official's tireless promotional efforts.
Not to mention the tickets for the offline competition, which not only sold out in a second as soon as they went on sale, but have now been inflated to exorbitant prices by scalpers!
These days, the organizers' measures to restrict scalpers are really ineffective; they seem to be strict and vigilant, but in reality, they are full of loopholes.
Even so, amidst a barrage of criticism from players.
The fact that these exorbitantly priced tickets have a consistently high sales rate clearly demonstrates this.
After so many years of painstaking operation, the Dream, or rather the All-Star event, has become a reality.
It has truly cultivated a large number of wealthy and incredibly loyal fans.
Another major culprit behind the skyrocketing ticket prices for this year's All-Star offline tournament was a piece of information previously released by the organizers—
After the conclusion of this year's All-Star Game schedule.
The official organizers will hold a live lucky draw while selecting the MVP of the year!
The proof for the lottery is the offline competition ticket.
The winner will not only get to go on stage and take a photo with this year's MVP, but will also receive a signed booklet from all eight teams in this year's offline competition, as well as a set of exclusive figurines!
This is not over yet.
In addition to physical rewards.
After providing their account ID, the winners can also receive an additional gift pack called "Annual Lucky Star" in the game.
The gift pack contains a wide variety of items, including but not limited to a high-level beast skill book, a set of high-level books and iron, a certain amount of game currency, and the most coveted item for fans: the "Annual Lucky Star" title, which is valid for a year!
I've mentioned this before.
Fantasy Westward Journey is an online game that blends many elements.
In this game, some things require grinding, and some things require spending money.
But overall, as long as you are willing to spend enough time or money, you can get most things.
But there is one exception: special titles that carry commemorative significance.
This is why so many wealthy tycoons invest hundreds of millions to win the championship.
What's the point of something that can be obtained so easily?
Having what others don't has is the right way to achieve sophistication!
However, not everyone can compete and win championships, which means that special titles such as Martial God Tournament Champion, All-Star Top 4, and Elite Top Draft Pick will always belong to only a small number of people.
And now.
At the All-Star Game, an annual competition that is watched by almost everyone.
The official team suddenly released this exclusive perk for fans, how could it not be irresistible?
Those who can attend the offline games are not necessarily rich, but at least they have some money to spare.
Not to mention those "suckers" who pay several times the premium for overpriced tickets.
For these players, this year's offline tournament not only allows them to see their favorite teams, but also gives them the chance to win a unique fan prize after the tournament ends.
This is an absolute steal!
but.
Many people are looking forward to it, but the official statement has also made it clear.
No matter how many viewers participate in the lottery, there will only be one lucky star of the year.
The official announcement was expected to be met with a barrage of criticism.
But after waiting for a while, they discovered—
There are indeed people who criticize, but there are actually more people who praise?
Judging from the feedback from these players, they seem to be very sensitive to 'uniqueness'.
Some even said that if there were 10 winning spots, then the official move would be considered extremely generous.
But if, as the official statement says, no matter how many people participate in the lottery, only one person can win, then...
His only assessment was that it was absolutely amazing!
As I always say, having what others don't is the most important thing.
Moreover, according to the official statement...
The prize draw will be held on-site, and the results will be announced immediately to prevent any underhanded dealings.
If this really happens, wouldn't the winner become famous overnight without even playing a single game, thanks to the hype surrounding the All-Star offline tournament?
This temptation is too great; no one can resist it!
in short.
The official move to add more lucky viewers and limit them to 'only' is a deliberate tactic.
It was extremely rare for it to receive unanimous praise, which was practically like seeing a ghost for Wang Yi, who was constantly being criticized.
And it was at this moment that they couldn't help but feel admiration once again—
Our own mysterious major shareholder is a natural genius when it comes to planning!
That's right.
The suggestion to randomly select a lucky audience member at the competition and give them a lavish gift was Fang Yun's idea, which was then handed over to Fang Zheng to communicate with NetEase.
He would come up with interesting ideas whenever he had a spare moment, and then have Fangzheng represent him to communicate with NetEase.
This has become Fang Yun's daily routine.
Nowadays, everyone within NetEase, especially in the Fantasy Westward Journey department, knows that one of their shareholders is a gaming genius who always manages to hit the players' sweet spot with his planning suggestions, resulting in great success.
Just like this year's annual lucky star campaign.
Actually, as early as last year, someone within NetEase suggested adding a segment related to the audience to the All-Star offline competition.
At that time, the All-Star team was in its most crucial growth phase.
After evaluation, in order to prevent uncontrollable factors, the proposal has not been approved for the time being.
This year, the proposal was brought up again, and a whole set of effective solutions was immediately put forward.
Perhaps not every executive at NetEase understands games.
However, how to stir up the audience's emotions, cultivate fan loyalty, and generate buzz remains a challenge.
Even if they don't understand it themselves, they can still understand the proposal.
Because it was understandable, Fang Yun's highly mature proposal encountered no obstacles whatsoever and quickly received the green light, and was then directly included in the announcement.
Honestly.
If that 'only one' is too dazzling.
After completing this solution and successfully launching it online.
Fang Yun himself wanted to try and see if he could win this unique and exclusive reward.
Other things are not important to him.
But that limited-time title of Lucky Star of the Year is so coveted, it's even rarer than the All-Star championship title!
He's won four annual championships already, but he's never been the lucky star of the year.
But despite his thoughts, he knew he couldn't act recklessly in this area.
After all, this plan played a crucial role in the record-breaking popularity of this year's All-Star offline tournament.
If he were to take the final prize, it would be a huge blow to the fans in the audience, and it would even be seen as a rigged affair.
all in all.
The introduction of the "Lucky Star of the Year" segment significantly increased the activity and enthusiasm of the offline competition audience.
As players, Fang Yun and his teammates shouldn't be thinking about competing with fans for perks, but rather trying their best to perform well in every match and not let their fans down.
A moment later.
After having eaten and drunk their fill, everyone returned to their rooms to pack their things, then went downstairs to board the bus and quickly headed towards the competition venue.
As the bus drew closer to the venue...
Sitting by the window, Fang Yun looked at the increasingly dense crowd outside and couldn't help but recall the embarrassing incident when he was surrounded by enthusiastic fans during an offline competition and almost had his pants pulled down in public.
He used to think that although he had won a lot of championships, he was still very proud of himself.
But essentially, he's just an ordinary person like everyone else. When people see him happy and want autographs or photos, it's his honor, so he tries his best to satisfy his fans.
But now, when Fang Yun thinks back to his naive self, he just wants to slap himself twice!
It's true that we're all just ordinary people, but the problem is...
He himself has this awareness, but his fans don't!
Fans never have absolute self-awareness.
If you, as an idol, don't refuse this or restrict that, then for fans, it's equivalent to "anything not prohibited by law is permissible," and naturally they'll flock to you.
Fang Yun, who possesses enhanced physical abilities, is not worried about being accidentally injured.
But when a crowd surges forward, it is inherently dangerous and could easily lead to a stampede.
This is why he rarely makes public appearances in places where fans gather.
He's happy that everyone likes him.
But what if liking him causes a public safety incident?
No matter how well he does, no one can protect him!
It's the same this time.
Fans outside the window arrived near the competition venue early in the morning, displaying banners and offering various forms of encouragement.
Fang Yun, however, dared not linger in such a place and only wanted the driver to leave as soon as possible.
It wasn't until the bus circled around to the back of the venue that we jogged into the athletes' lounge at the back of the venue.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The feeling of being a thief is so damn exhilarating!
Good morning, Brother Cheng! Good morning, everyone!
Xiaoqing was already waiting in the rest room of Bianliang City.
After everyone came in, Xiaoqing first greeted Fang Yun, and then greeted the others in a strict order, leaving no room for criticism.
"Our contestants will be on stage in 45 minutes. You can rest here for a bit, and I will let you know when it's time."
Xiaoqing was here to confirm that Fang Yun and the others had arrived at the venue on time.
After confirming, she quickly gave some instructions and left the lounge, presumably because she had a lot of things to do.
"No way... Come to think of it, I've spent quite a bit of money on this crappy game, so why didn't NetEase give me a dedicated customer service representative like Xiao Qing?"
Watching Xiaoqing leave in a hurry.
Beast Master rubbed his chin and couldn't help but ask a question.
As he said.
If we're talking about who spends the most money in the entire lounge, Fang Yun is definitely number one, far ahead of the competition.
But if Fang Yun is excluded...
That Beast Lord is definitely the number one on the leaderboard, no one can compare to him!
This guy has terrible luck in the game, but precisely because of his bad luck, he invests far more money in any game than the average person.
So it's normal for Beast Master to have doubts.
After all, there really isn't anyone who can casually start a live stream and spend hundreds of thousands of yuan like Fang Yun.
But there don't seem to be many players in this game who have spent at least tens of millions of dollars on in-game purchases like him, right?
The key is.
When Xiaoqing became Fang Yun's dedicated customer service representative, he hadn't even started live streaming yet.
This means that Xiaoqing became Fang Yun's personal customer service representative entirely because of him!
This made Master Beast a little jealous.
Who wouldn't want a knowledgeable, gentle, and charming personal customer service representative to provide one-on-one service throughout the entire offline competition?
The All-Star Game is now in its sixth year.
Originally, Beast Master thought it was his turn.
But the reality is that, apart from Fang Yun, the other players even include former Russell Westbrook.
Although the official arrangements for them were thoughtful, dedicated customer service representatives like Xiaoqing, who possessed both professional skills and extreme patience, remained Fang Yun's exclusive clients.
Are you overthinking this?
Listening to Beast's complaints, Huang He couldn't help but roll his eyes at him. "Do you think it's possible that the exclusive customer service is just the official name, and in reality, for Lao Fang, Xiao Qing is just a 'bridge' between the official team and him?"
Speaking of it.
Seeing that Beast Lord opened his mouth as if to refute, he waved his hand and said, "I know what you want to say, but you better understand that players are players and the official is the official. Normally, no matter how much money players spend, the official will only give the greatest sincerity within a reasonable range, but there is basically no chance to go any further."
"Only when someone reaches Lao Fang's level, someone who can directly influence the popularity and even the rise and fall of the entire game, will the official team pay special attention and even go so far as to change some rules for him, understand?"
Is it... really that mysterious?
After listening to Huang He's analysis, Beast Master frowned, somewhat skeptical.
"So when Lao Fang says you've been living like a dog all these years, he's not really insulting you. You're not a kid anymore, how can your mind still be so simple?"
Seeing the guy's disbelief, Huang He, his childhood friend, was almost amused by his annoyance.
