"Oh yeah, this is for you." Before leaving, Nangong Qi specifically handed a return-to-Alpha teleportation device to Feng Yi. "That'll be all."
"Qi... wait for me."
In his line of sight, Qi waved goodbye to Feng Yi for the last time, satisfied with at least getting a "wait for me, Qi" expression... It was regrettable that Qi could not watch the Revenge Shadow Rider video with him. In fact, the two could not possibly watch it together. In some sense, this was not a bad thing.
Just two hours after the announcement of Galactic Warfare, the staff had already added hundreds of servers, demonstrating tremendous efficiency. However, the demand still exceeded the supply. Many more players could not join the game and even the recently deployed servers would become full within a minute.
After all, Star Wars Co. has greatly improved since its early days. The servers purchased are the most advanced and stable, and thus can support many IPs. Each server can accommodate 10 million players online simultaneously. Now, each new server would become full within approximately one minute.
The Galactic Warfare hardware department holds 10,000 servers, theoretically accommodating 1 trillion players online simultaneously, almost half the population of the Federation. But it is essentially impossible for an online game to attract such terrifying numbers. These 1000 servers in the office building are prepared specifically by Hans for the Revenge Shadow Rider, not all of them are put to use, but he feels like he must prepare beforehand for the Revenge Shadow Rider and get some real work done.
Another hour passed and the technicians, drenched in sweat, expanded the server capacity to 1000. But it still reached full capacity. Seeing this situation, Hans knew that he had to prepare all the reserve servers. Now is the perfect time to show the miracle of the Revenge Shadow Rider.
The official website statistics showed that the online rate was still skyrocketing. Many self-proclaimed popular livestreamers were simply stunned when they saw the numbers. The Revenge Shadow Rider was just one person, one voice, yet it could cause such social response, it's no wonder countries have issued warrants for him.
Of course, the online player count included not only the Federation but also many overseas players. Initially, they didn't care much about the Revenge Shadow Rider, but now it was different. With top national pilots losing one after another, even those who initially ignored the Revenge Shadow Rider began to focus on him. Once they watched the video clips, most of them would say "impossible", "this doesn't make sense", "it must be some jerk's fake video."
The reasons were solid. Firstly, the Revenge Shadow Rider is unbeatable, making the impossible possible. This point itself is unconvincing. If it's really human, why wouldn't it show its face? And the Soaring Sword Dragon or the Blue Rain Storm, they only lost to him online. The fact hadn't even been confirmed by the two top white-clothes pilots. Now, with current technology, let alone making a fake video—if you have money, turning a man into a woman or a woman into a demon would take only a few minutes, wouldn't it?
Secondly, no matter the crisis, the Revenge Shadow Rider always turns defeat into victory. While this logic doesn't violate common sense, it surpasses human limits. Humans simply cannot achieve the response level of the Revenge Shadow Rider.
However, some experts pointed out that human response speed is proportional to the rate of brain development. This is also true for genetically weak individuals. An average brain development rate surpassing X percent will lead to a reaction speed faster than that of an average person by 1 factor. In other words, in this era, many people can catch bullets barehanded. Of course, this can't be achieved by ordinary people, but every top soldier of each country can reach this level. This is inseparably related to training, but also largely connected to the response after brain development.
To the upper echelons, the Revenge Shadow Rider is not only familiar but also quite formidable. It is perceived with significant apprehension by major powers, not because the Revenge Shadow Rider is so powerful—no matter how strong it is, it's still just one individual—but mainly because of its provoking nature and elusive presence. This makes major powers prefer to keep a distance rather than getting involved.
The Federation was the first to receive information about the Revenge Shadow Rider going online. General Greedy Wolf advised the super soldiers not to participate in the battle but to watch it instead, declaring it an excellent opportunity to learn from the Revenge Shadow Rider. To these super soldiers, battling against each other for practice can be done anytime, but the battles of the Revenge Shadow Rider cannot be missed. Now is the perfect time to observe Revenge Shadow Rider from multiple perspectives.
Also, another reason was that the super soldiers almost surely couldn't defeat the Revenge Shadow Rider. Even if they joined the battle, they wouldn't stand a chance against him. Although the probability isn't exactly 100%, it's a sure thing at 99%. If the Revenge Shadow Rider were so easily defeated or prone to weaknesses, it wouldn't stand at the peak of the world. At such a level of combat, victories relying on luck are extremely rare. Meaning, even if the Revenge Shadow Rider exposes a weakness, someone at the level of Sword Dragon might spot it, but the super soldiers wouldn't. That's the real gap between them.
After all, every existence serves a purpose. General Greedy Wolf only recommended to the many soldiers to learn, observe, and think more; to analyze themselves through the Revenge Shadow Rider; and not to attempt to fight or defeat him based on their current stage. It's very unlikely. If you actually fight him, not only will it cause a psychological shadow, but it will also make it very hard to regain morale for a while. This is one of the reasons why Greedy Wolf doesn't casually let super soldiers fight with top-tier white-clothes adversaries.
Another issue concerned Sky Shadow, whom Greedy Wolf singled out. He felt that Sky Shadow had a similar fighting style to the Revenge Shadow Rider's—it's flexible and adaptable, not rigid and form-focused but adjusts according to the overall needs of the battlefield. Among the super soldiers, Sky Shadow's power was one of the most noteworthy. He believed that if properly trained, Sky Shadow should be able to rank alongside the Revenge Shadow Rider, or at least not far behind.
Angelic was the second one with potential. She was a mental superpowered individual, and thus had advantages over everyone else. As for Roland, the most mysterious existence among the super soldiers. To be honest, Greedy Wolf only heard a bit about Roland's identity from Adams. This man has a remarkable background.
As super soldiers, everyone heard Greedy Wolf's advice. However, two people did not plan to follow through. Sky Shadow immediately asked to leave the Military Department. What a joke, watching the battle with those guys is not as good as training by himself. If the secrets of the Revenge Shadow Rider's battles could be discovered just through observation, he would have been defeated long ago. Of course, Greedy Wolf was emphasizing learning, but who was Sky Shadow?
The other person was Roland. To be honest, the Revenge Shadow Rider was indeed powerful but also had many weaknesses. She did not understand why people only chose to observe the strengths of the Revenge Shadow Rider, but did not explore its weaknesses.
