DNF: I am from version 110!

Time flew by and it was already mid-June. For players who log in frequently, the annual anniversary celebration was here.

Lin Zhengqiu logged in and arrived at the tavern. He saw that there were only a few more people standing on the street than usual, and he couldn't help but sigh.

The old general and others who arrived at the tavern before Lin Zhengqiu also sent out the message.

Not obviously handsome: Holy crap! Today is the 16th anniversary celebration, why are there so few people?
The dog that lost its happiness: Maybe it's because it's still early; it's only 9 a.m.

Let me boast a little more: This shouldn't be the case. In previous years, there were already many people at the anniversary celebration, even at 9 a.m.

Encountering Jiangnan by chance: Alas, the number of people playing this game is decreasing at a visible rate, which is understandable.

It's tough being a real man: Yes, not to mention others, too many people in our guild have quit the game in the past year.

The Dog Who Lost His Happiness: That seems to be true, but this year's anniversary celebration was indeed the most impressive, it's a pity.

Let me boast one more time: which year's latest anniversary event wasn't the most amazing? Everyone's immune to it now.

Lin Zhengqiu glanced at the online rewards for the 16th anniversary celebration and was at a loss for words.

First, you'll receive a Sacred Rare Clone Costume Set Gift Box upon logging in; it's essentially a transparent set.

You should know that in the old version, it would cost at least several thousand dollars to craft a complete set of transparent items, but now it's given away for free.

This is just the most basic login reward; there are also four classic daily login rewards.

The second reward is a random +10 to +12 equipment enhancement ticket and three magical golden enhancement books.

The third reward is two Brilliant Badge Selection Boxes and a Dream Platinum Badge Box.

The fourth reward is the most crucial: a +13 equipment enhancement ticket, a +8 equipment forging ticket, and a random 7777~99999 Joy Tokens.

Everyone is already familiar with the Joy Tokens, so there's no need to say anything about them. But directly giving away a +13 equipment enhancement ticket seems to be a first.

This year marks the 16th anniversary, and Lin Zhengqiu's live stream had more viewers than usual.

They even gave us a +13 equipment enhancement voucher! Things are looking up for us now, haha.

We're doing well, but the game is going badly. They've even started issuing +13 equipment enhancement tickets, which isn't a good thing.

Are all 800 million warriors now rich? Are they unwilling to even log in and claim a +13 equipment enhancement ticket?
The main problem is that you can't claim this on the first day; you have to log in for four consecutive days to claim it, and even veteran players don't have the time or energy for that.

Sigh, it seems this game is not far from dying out. The richer the anniversary rewards, the more people quit the game.

This isn't just about the anniversary rewards anymore; the main problem is that Mist Goddess isn't fun to play, so there's no motivation to keep playing.

……

Seeing that many viewers in the live stream were complaining about the game's mechanics and raids, Lin Zhengqiu could understand it quite well.

In any case, the vast majority of gamers are the best able to reflect the current state of the gaming ecosystem.

Let me brag a little more: I feel that what attracts me most about this anniversary celebration is not the +13 equipment enhancement ticket.

Dog who lost his happiness: Haha, show-off, what attracts you?
Let me brag a little more: it's a Golden Job Change Book. I think after playing Ranger for 16 years, it's time to switch to a different job.

The Golden Job Change Book is a grand gift for the 16th anniversary celebration and the ultimate reward.

Unlike previous job change scrolls, this one not only allows you to change your current character's class, but also completely alters the character's equipment enhancement attributes, costume attributes, and emblem attributes to your desired settings. This means that after the job change, you almost don't need to craft any additional equipment for the new class, making it incredibly convenient.

Clearly, the developers also felt that players might get tired of playing the same class for so many years, so they released the Golden Class Change Book.

I ran into Jiangnan by chance: You show-off, you have male gunners, male mechanics, male ammunition, and even a Metal Warrior, what are you still sharing?
It's tough being a real man: Yeah, these show-offs' alt accounts aren't bad gear either, what's the point of all this?

Let me show off one more time: No matter how good the gear is on a low-level character, can it have a full set of +18 red-letter equipment?
After the boastful guy said this, everyone was immediately speechless.

Lin Zhengqiu couldn't help but shake his head with a smile; he could actually understand the show-off guy.

If nothing unexpected happens, many veteran players will likely switch their main characters' classes this time.

Regret always comes in autumn: Hey, you pretentious guy, what profession do you want to switch to?
Let me brag a little more: Gunners, at least playing this class won't be so tiring.

Regret always comes in autumn: That's great, guns are very strong in this version, I support you, show-off.

The handsome one isn't obvious: If the show-off guy were to switch his Ranger class to Gunner, he would undoubtedly be the number one Gunner in the Chinese server.

The Dog Who Lost Happiness: Of course, a Gunner with all +18 red-letter equipment is not only the number one Gunner in the Chinese server, but also the number two.

Let me show off one more time: Hey bro, you've been playing Berserker for so many years, why don't you consider switching to Sword Master?
Lin Zhengqiu was taken aback by the boastful guy's words, and then sent a message in response.

Regret always comes in autumn: I don't think it's necessary. My Sword Soul's equipment is all +17 with red text.

If there hadn't been so much time, Lin Zhengqiu's sword soul would already be fully upgraded to level 18 with all red-letter attributes.

Let me show off a bit more: Haha, that's right, your Sword Master is one of the top players in the Chinese server, so there's really no need for that.

Handsome but not obviously handsome: Regretful Bro's Sword Master was the number one player in the Chinese server for a long time. If there weren't so many wealthy streamers playing Sword Master now, he would definitely still be number one.

A dog that lost its happiness: Sigh, these big shots have burned through who knows how much money just for the title of number one.

A real man's life is tough: Well, sorry bro, how about you switch to Devil May Cry or Asura? If all else fails, Sword Master is fine too.

Regret always comes in autumn: Forget it, I don't have that much energy to mess around. Since I chose Berserker more than ten years ago, I'll just keep playing.

Seeing this, no one said anything more.

Lin Zhengqiu then opened the store and bought a 2024 Fantasy Deep Sea Gift Pack for 27800 points.

Summer gift packs are being released at an increasingly faster pace each year.

The summer outfits for each class this time are quite revealing, all featuring a diving theme. When you wear the outfit, a small underwater animal will follow behind your character; for example, the Ghost Knight will be followed by a small fish.

Although the appearance is acceptable, the attributes are still quite ordinary, so it can only be used occasionally for showing off or for transmogrification.

Wearing this outfit, Lin Zhengqiu opened the Fantasy Deep Sea title selection gift box.

There are two summer titles: "Diving Novice [Meow]" and "Diving Novice [Woof]".

Their attributes aren't as bad as you might think, but they clearly can't replace the Spring Festival title.

Lin Zhengqiu chose the latter, then looked at the price of the title at the auction house and couldn't help but shake his head. (End of Chapter)
