DNF: I am from version 110!

Compared to the attributes, the aura's special effects also look rather lackluster, lacking any distinctive features.

The main issue is that both the Halo Selection Box and the Halo itself are untradeable and can only be kept in your inventory.

Lin Zhengqiu then turned his attention to the Summer Dream Water Park Emblem Selection Gift Box.

Upon opening the gift box, you can choose between two emblems: the Shengtian Water Drop Stone and the Shenghai Water Drop Stone.

As a fixed-damage class, Lin Zhengqiu naturally chose the Shengtian Water Drop Stone.

This emblem's attributes are a 3% increase in critical strike chance and critical hit rate, 30 points in all three attack stats, and a 10% attack power boost for 30 seconds upon attacking.

It doesn't add much prestige, only 60 points, but it's still the best emblem.

Dog Who Lost Happiness: Of all the summer gift packs this time, only this emblem is somewhat acceptable.

An unexpected encounter with Jiangnan: All other props, including costumes, are unacceptable. If even the emblems are unacceptable, then this is truly terrible.

It's tough being a real man: Yeah, all year round I'm looking forward to changing my insignia, haha.

Having already selected the emblem, Lin Zhengqiu then checked the rewards for repeat purchases and the mystery gift box.

The mystery box in the Summer Gift Pack is called the Summer Dream Water Park Jukebox, which can contain items such as Amplification Tickets and Enhancement Tickets.

Moreover, this item becomes account-bound after one transaction and can be sold for a low price of 10 million gold coins.

Lin Zhengqiu didn't think highly of his own character, but he still turned off the jukebox at Xia Meng Water Park.

Ding-a-ling! Items inside the gift box:
Summer Dream Water Park Rare Gem Selection Gift Box!
Surprisingly, my luck wasn't bad; I opened a rare gem. Although it's not as good as a +10 or higher enhancement ticket, it's much better than a one-time enhancement device or amplifier gift box.

The summer gift pack also contained some other miscellaneous items and materials, but Lin Zhengqiu didn't bother to look at them closely.

He didn't even consider buying more summer gift sets, mainly because the contents of these gift sets seemed too meager.

After switching to his alt account and arranging the crests for it, Lin Zhengqiu continued to craft equipment for his traveler.

In the following days, the game experienced a brief period of prosperity.

It's fair to say that most of the players who temporarily returned were drawn by the rewards offered during the 15th anniversary celebration.

The old man and Dog Brother's business with the gold guild has improved a lot in the past two days, so much so that they couldn't help but show off in the tavern that night.

Dog who lost his happiness: Hahaha, there have been quite a few extra bosses in the last two or three days.

The handsome one isn't very obvious: Business had started to decline last month, but unexpectedly it's picking up again.

Encountering Jiangnan by chance: There are indeed quite a few returning old players recently, and a large portion of them are players who have spent money on in-game purchases.

Let me boast a little more: Bakal's mechanics are pretty good, and many returning players are very interested in completing Bakal.

The cool factor isn't obvious: Bakal's mechanics are undeniable, and the new hard mode has only fueled everyone's desire to take on the challenge.

A real man's life is hard: Will Bakal really save this game again like Anton did back then?

The dog who lost his happiness: You little brat, what do you mean by "saved again"? This game isn't dead yet.

Watching their conversation, Lin Zhengqiu simply smiled and shook his head.

While the Bakal raid is good, it's clearly impossible to replicate the miracle of Anton in 2015.

To be honest, the mechanics of the Bakal raid are actually much more perfect than those of Anton, and it's also more fun to play.

However, the success of Anton was not solely due to its mechanism; favorable timing, location, and human factors were all indispensable.

Since its debut, the Bakal raid has been somewhat praised but not commercially successful.

While the anniversary celebration might bring some players back, it's undeniable that the game is attracting far too few new players, which is often a risky situation. Sure enough, on the fifth day of the 15th anniversary celebration, after claiming the fourth wave of the ultimate fun ticket rewards, the number of players online noticeably decreased.

This can be seen from the changes in the channel's status.

Lin Zhengqiu continued to craft equipment as usual every day. Since there were no limited-time protection scrolls available recently, he rarely played with amplification.

Even when it comes to enhancement, it usually stops at around +13.

Although he still has a lot of indefinite-lasting sacred equipment enhancement scrolls, it's better to keep them.

Recently, Lin Zhengqiu has also started leading gold farming groups, mainly for the sake of live streaming effect.

Viewers also quite like this 1-against-many team fighting method. Although it takes a long time, it is the best way to prove one's strength.

It's been quite a while since the Bakal raid was released. Lin Zhengqiu has already completed the gearing of his main characters, and his more than 20 alt characters, including the recently released Traveler, are also perfectly geared.

These alt accounts all have the highest reputation levels in the Chinese server, and he can earn a lot of money every week just by leading gold farming groups.

Before we knew it, it was August, and the summer gift packs were quietly taken off the shelves.

The summer gift pack, which was on sale for about two months, didn't really make a big splash.

The official team probably anticipated that the summer gift pack wouldn't sell very well before its release.

In addition to the removal of the summer package, this update also includes buffs to certain classes.

The classes that have been buffed include the Wandering Warrior, Dark Lancer, Dark Blade, Duelist, and Frontline Mercenary.

Lin Zhengqiu also has alt accounts playing these professions, but it doesn't seem to have much to do with him.

He rarely logs into these alt accounts except when he's in raids.

This time, a new instance called Code: Gaeboga has also been added.

This isn't a difficult dungeon; you only need a little over 3 reputation points to enter.

Although the dungeon is not difficult, it is a must-do because it is related to the new medal and guardian bead.

The medal and guardian bead system has been fully updated. Now, if you want to obtain the strongest medals and guardian beads, you must run dungeons.

A chance encounter with Jiangnan: Brothers, there's a new event in the Bakal raid.

Dog who lost his happiness: Don't talk about this garbage event here.

I ran into Jiangnan by chance: You're not even interested in this event? It's giving away +10 equipment enhancement tickets!

The handsome one isn't very obvious: To be fair, this event is pretty good; even that jewel came.

Let me show off one more time: Which jewel?

The handsome ones aren't quite obvious: the Greenbrad Orb, the Aiken Orb, and the Agulanda Orb.

The Dog Who Lost His Happiness: This isn't an event, it's just a new auction item added to the Bakal raid.

Let me show off a bit more: That works too, since the bidding is simple, whoever pays the most money gets it.

Encountering Jiangnan by chance: Yes, the auction system is tailor-made for you super-rich people.

In addition to these orbs, the newly added auction items include the Contradictory Crystal Gift Box and the Twisted Dimensional Crystal Gift Box.

However, these gift boxes are more dependent on luck. For example, the Contradictory Crystal gift box might yield one Contradictory Crystal, or it might yield 500. (End of Chapter)
