68: Terminator Mode

In an instant, all the onlookers were stunned.

Although such incidents sound rare, they are not impossible.

However, earning 800,000 in cash with just one weapon still made people exclaim in disbelief.

If they hadn't seen the bank transaction screenshots and heard their friends discussing it, they would never have believed that a weapon in a game could be worth so much money, and that the buyer was even eager to buy it from the seller!

"I thought it was a gimmick planned by some company, but when I clicked in, I found out it was real!"

"That's right! The account owner is from our school, and he is preparing to go house hunting with his family!"

"Hmph, I wouldn't even want it if you gave it to me. It's just a string of code, why make such a fuss."

"Don't be sour, big brother upstairs. If you got this thing, maybe you could sell it for eight hundred yuan."

"That's too outrageous, spending 800,000 on a weapon. These rich people are a bit too much."

"Don't say that, you know some people earn tens of millions a day."

"Oh my god, is this real? What's the name of this game? I want to try my luck too!"

"Attention upstairs, this game is called 'dungeon & Organs', those with bad livers should be cautious!"

"Burning money like this, 800,000 here is enough to buy a house in full. To be honest, that weapon is indeed very cool."

"You think 800,000 is a lot, but in the eyes of a big shot, it's probably just a small amount."

The more the topic trended on Weibo, the more interested many netizens became in Dungeon & Fighter.

For a time, a large number of new players flocked in, all hoping for a chance to get rich overnight.

Unbeknownst to them, countless fresh blood poured into the Arad Continent, becoming a new generation of adventurers.

"I didn't expect someone to help me advertise."

In fact, crossfire has also been very popular recently, causing many adventurers to temporarily put down their hoes and pick up guns. He originally planned to take this opportunity to hold some feedback activities to promote player return.

Now it seems, there's no need for such trouble.

The player who sold the magic sword apophis has already helped him a lot, bringing in batch after batch of new users.

The number is so large that it is comparable to the effect of an official new event.

The backend data continued to refresh, and Xu Lian's face broke into a smile as he watched the number of registered users continuously increase.

He likes these confident young men the most, who think they can easily get the magic sword apophis too.

You know, the gameplay of Dungeon & Fighter is set there, and apart from pure free-to-play players, almost everyone will invest money to recharge—the ancient dungeon is the threshold, and it's impossible to challenge without up-to-standard equipment.

These new noobs will inevitably spend heavily to pursue top-tier equipment, so in the end, the biggest winner is still Xu Lian!

Just then, Lin Weixin skipped into the office, saying happily:

"Hehe, boss ~ crossfire's new props and new modes are all done."

"Thank you for your hard work. Once Yiyun confirms the price is correct, it can be released."

After hearing this, Xu Lian nodded in satisfaction.

Recently, he noticed that bio mode was particularly popular among players, with millions of people active in the game every night.

To increase revenue, he decided to cater to players' demands and add a super popular new gameplay: Terminator Mode! Not only that, he also had Lin Weixin make many updates to the firearms and special equipment in bio mode.

"Alright ~"

Lin Weixin smiled and nodded, humming a tune as she left the office.

"This girl is becoming more and more reliable in her work."

Watching Lin Weixin's departing back, Xu Lian thought to himself that it was a wise decision not to let her become a seamstress.

Soon, Qin Feixu sent a notification that the review had been approved.

Lin Weixin announced crossfire's new gameplay on Weibo as soon as possible:

[New Bio Gameplay: Terminator Arrives!]

[Gameplay Introduction: After the game starts, one player will be randomly selected to become the Terminator. The last player remaining can transform into a Ghost Hunter!]

[New Characters: crazy baby, Hulk, Soul Ninja debut!]

[New Props: Bio Magazine, Bio Grenade, Anti-Chemical Suit, Bio Machine Gun Magazine, Ghost Dagger.]

[Follow Aoyou Communication to learn more about crossfire's detailed events!]

"There are new characters, that's great! I finally don't have to play that crappy Little Red anymore!"

"Holy moly! crazy baby is dressed too sexily, I can't take my eyes off her. No more talking, I'll buy it as soon as it's released!"

"Upstairs, don't be so eager. She's a Biochemical Ghost, you can look but don't get any wrong ideas!"

"Wow! Soul Ninja looks so cool. Is that weapon a scythe? Or something else?"

"Hulk is probably going to be out of luck. Such a big guy is just a target in bio mode."

"Hahaha, randomly drawing a Terminator, this is a huge benefit for free-to-play players!"

"But only players who survive to the end can become Ghost Hunters, so I guess a bunch of 'hiding kings' will appear again."

"Upstairs, didn't you read the description? The Terminator can see everyone's markers, so there's no way to hide!"

The crossfire data in Xu Lian's hands was not just for a certain version, but the complete content of all versions.

This meant that as long as he spent some time modifying the code or updating the program, he could freely combine various modes or launch certain features in advance.

For example, the recently launched Terminator Mode was actually content that would only appear several versions after bio mode.

Xu Lian directly wrote the relevant code, making it appear in the game in advance.

The same goes for weapons and equipment in the mall.

As long as Xu Lian wanted to, he could immediately bring out hero-level weapons like fire kirin and Thor.

However, crossfire had just been released, and players were still slowly adapting to this new game.

If he released all those powerful weapons at once now, players would frantically spend money, and the result would be hero-level weapons all over the map.

This would completely break the game's balance and could very likely repeat the mistakes of the previous world—a game that relies on paying players to dominate everything will eventually collapse.

Of course, Xu Lian would certainly not give up on something as profitable as hero-level weapons.

Just not now.

Once players gradually get used to the operational rhythm of crossfire, he will gradually release these powerful weapons and make a huge profit.

"It seems I can relax a bit more in the future."

Xu Lian leaned back in his chair, gazing at the ceiling, and muttered to himself contentedly.

The current game company is operating well, and all departments are already able to operate independently, so he doesn't need to worry about it personally at all.

Every day, he just needs to wait for Qin Feixu to report the revenue data, and his task is considered complete.

After recruiting some new employees to fill the vacancies, he will be able to completely retreat behind the scenes and just wait to collect money.

"Summer vacation is over, what game should I make next?"
