Feng Yi hesitated not a moment to log into his gaming account and then registered for the tournament. He found his inbox bursting at its seams—figuratively, as each page represented 100 emails and he could never read them all in this lifetime, since he could only skip through 999 pages at a time. Eventually, Feng Yi abandoned the idea of checking his emails altogether.
However, Feng Yi randomly clicked on a few and found that some were sharing personal thoughts, some were expressions of well-wishes, while others were vents of personal emotions or just jotting down personal musings, akin to making diary entries. He even noticed that a girl wrote about her life stories every other day, clearly using his inbox as her personal journal.
It was undeniable that these emails from people around the world were never expected to be seen by Revenge Shadow Rider; they were simply satisfied to be friends in the Revenge Shadow Rider network.
Still, Feng Yi selectively replied to a few. The content was trivial, mostly offering some encouragement.
In a dormitory of Alpha Wind and Thunder Military Academy, an exclamation disrupted the quiet, "Brother, look at this."
"What's the big deal?" a four-eyed boy lethargically looked in that direction. It was just another Star Wars game, probably some new charity campaign—nothing worth noting. Those capitalists are all up to no good.
However, thanks to a previous incident of a roommate going mad, he decided to take a closer look. The four-eyed boy was the most knowledgeable and calmest in the dorm, but the moment he saw the reply ID, he actually took off his glasses to wipe them…
Mind Stabilization eyeing, it indeed was a reply from Revenge Shadow Rider. Impossible.
The four-eyed boy took off his glasses again, wiped them carefully, put them back on, and began to read seriously… It indeed was a reply from the Revenge Shadow Rider ID, no mistake.
Still disbelieving, he took his glasses off once more, meticulously cleaned them, put them back on, and decided to look carefully again, only to emit a scream, and another had gone mad…
Yet, the madness wasn't just confined to the four-eyed boy; as the Revenge Shadow Rider ID logged on, the whole federation became an uproaring ocean…
Hans was not at all perturbed upon receiving the news. Adding servers temporarily had become common knowledge for Star Wars; as for marketing, there was no need to invest in advertising—Revenge Shadow Rider's name was the best promotion. That budget could be better spent on something substantial.
Due to the event's extensive and multifaceted nature, including quizzes and other challenges, by having a Star Wars account, anyone could register. Thus, the diversity of players before the Revenge Shadow Rider registration was quite varied.
But as soon as Revenge Shadow Rider signed up for the combat zone, other major areas were completely frozen. It couldn't really be called freezing; within just an hour, the participation rate was less than 1/10000, almost no difference from being completely deserted.
Revenge Shadow Rider naturally didn't need to participate in the preliminary contests; of course, he had the privilege of combat exemption. But others in the combat event needed to engage in some PvP to increase their scores.
However, due to the nature of the event, the rules were relatively fair compared to grassroots rules.
Rule 1: Ignore model types, focus on player level, match opponents based on overall skill.
Rule 2: A tiered matching system for battles.
The above rules mean that the system will match players based on their game ratings, D-Class players against D-Class players, C-Class players against C-Class players. But with limited participants, if a same-level opponent needs to be eliminated, you could see two D-Class players fighting against one C-Class player. Faced with a B-Class player, the number doubles accordingly...
It was a very fair duel. Even real-world pilots, when faced with many experts, felt helpless. However, given Revenge Shadow Rider's special status, officials took this matter very seriously, inviting the long unseen white-cloaked ace, Grand, as a special guest.
Other participants appearing at the same time included federal super soldiers. On just the second day of the event, three certified super soldiers registered to challenge, clearly not after the event rewards, but seeking to challenge Revenge Shadow Rider.
The three super soldiers were Hugo, Ophelia, and Dovir.
All three were officially verified. Yet another day passed, and even the Haier Brothers, Elvis, and the plump Xiao Bo also made their appearances; of course, common folks wouldn't recognize them, and with the latter two still in D-Class, even before the battle began, they already had a natural advantage.
It's known that even if the Haier Brothers faced them individually, they might not hold up; it's not to be underestimated as one of the major flaws of this game event. Of course, the officials hadn't initially considered these factors, as nobody expected Revenge Shadow Rider to log in at this time, multiplying the traffic by thousands.
However, this challenge was completely random in nature; there was no possibility of forming teams, so the opponents and teammates assigned to you were also random. Of course, the certified super soldiers would surely be rated S-Class; even against top fighters, the system would ensure their opponents weren't too weak.
But the event itself had another absurd aspect that excluded many – newly registered IDs were useless. Due to the lack of system assessment, the system couldn't determine your combat capabilities, hence many international players could only watch, much to their regret. The criticism of Star Wars Company was flying everywhere.
