DNF Return to 2008

Chapter 96: 1974, the first free-fighting match in Southeast Asia
An Yi took a taxi to a construction site in Zhujiang New Town.

The construction site was bustling with activity, filled with smoke, construction vehicles and cranes.

He took out his cell phone and made a call. Not long after, a shabby Lavida stopped in front of him.

A young man in his early twenties, wearing clean work clothes and a white safety helmet, came down.

"My helmet is full of sweat. I swear to make a million!"

The young man took off his helmet and coquettishly smoothed his hair in front of his forehead, as if this would exude the scent of masculine hormones.

"In 1974, I won the championship in my first free-fighting match in Southeast Asia. In 1980, I defeated the Japanese heavy hitter Lei Long. Then, for three consecutive years, I defeated all the Japanese karate masters..."

The young man leaned against the car door and lit a Red Double Happiness cigarette. "An ancient Chinese boxing technique, known as the nemesis of karate, nicknamed the Devil Muscle Man!"

However, when the devil muscle man saw Zhou Chuanxiong, who was more handsome than Leon Lai, he was stunned.

"President Dog?"

"Eldest brother?"

"Tie Baa!"

"Xinei!"

The two hit it off immediately, talking and laughing, and hugging each other.

Then they beat each other madly on the back, and bared their teeth secretly after they separated.

"comfortable."

"Wang Xili."

"Pharaoh?"

"Fuck! Calling me Xiao Wang is fucking wrong. Call me Big Brother!"

An Yi got into the broken Lavida and was taken by the senior brother to a nearby construction site for a tour.

At this time, Zhujiang New Town has begun to take shape, with modern high-rise buildings rising from the ground. From a distance, even the slender waist that would appear in a few years has taken shape.

"What's your budget? It's a bit difficult to buy one near my house without one or two thousand..."

While driving, the eldest brother took out a cigarette, lit it, opened the window and started smoking.

"Two thousand? Your family? Do you think I run a bank?" An Yi was furious.

"Look, Ersha Island, it was very cheap more than ten years ago, but it's a bit expensive now."

"..."

An Yi was speechless. He was truly the stupid son of a landlord. He actually lived on Ersha Island!
"I'm poor, my budget is only 300, just find me a residential area with a pleasant environment nearby..."

An Yi said: "Pre-sale housing is also fine, the most important thing is to have a river view."

He had done his homework before coming here. The average house price in Guangzhou City is now close to RMB 10,000, but the price in Zhujiang New Town, as a commercial CBD area, is already around RMB 18,000.

His 300 yuan in full payment should be enough to buy a residential community.

Now it is the end of 09, and China’s housing prices will soar like a rocket next year. No matter how you buy, you won’t lose money!
The reason why I chose this place is not only because I like the river view, but also because it is close to Xia Wanying's Shuangyashan, which will be much more convenient for the two of them in the future...

"Okay, got it."

As soon as the eldest brother stepped on the accelerator, the broken Lavida emitted a smell of burning oil and went directly to several sales offices.

Although his words are vague, he is absolutely reliable in doing things.

In the next few days, An Yi followed the senior brother around.

Finally, I paid in full for a small house of 178 square meters in a community called "Venus Garden" and it was delivered a year later.

Fortunately, real estate construction is in full swing these days, so there is no need to worry about buying an unfinished building.

"Big Brother, would you like to have a quick meal together?"

Everything is ready, and An Yi sends out the king's invitation.

"Damn it, I was waiting for you to say that! I almost broke my legs running around with you!"

The eldest brother let out a long roar and drove his broken Lavida for dozens of kilometers just to go to Shunde to rip him off.

"I just happen to know a restaurant that makes really good beef fried with pickled cabbage!"

"Why the hell don't you add a dragon, tiger and phoenix?"

"Hey, you know all this? As expected, we are both foodies."

Anyi was speechless.

Damn it, people in slippers are so damn particular about food!
……

Back to renting.

An Yi logged into the game and took stock of the assets currently remaining in his account.

"There are more than 300 brave sea turtles, 1129 skeleton rings of the unicorn, and the rest are just some worthless garbage..."

In order to buy an apartment and settle down in a big city like Guangzhou, he emptied out most of his assets and only had these left.

Scarcity makes things valuable, and the title of Sea Turtle will not increase in value until at least next year.

As for the bone ring, with the opening of the inheritance jar, the price has dropped a bit and is now hovering around 40 million.

However, now the jars can no longer be opened infinitely. It has been changed to that a character can only open 30 jars a day.

This change will undoubtedly allow the price of inheritance to basically maintain a slow downward trend.

"The price of inheritance. I remember that it seemed that it was only after the Swamp of Choice that everyone could own it..."

An Yi thought about it.

Collecting inheritances and buying low and selling high is still a good business nowadays, but he no longer has the energy to do it.

"Next, we must strive to seize the next business opportunity... the White Tiger Soul!"

An Yi's eyes slowly lit up.

If we talk about the DNF 60 version, which business opportunity players missed and regretted deeply, the White Tiger Soul title must be among them!
In the following days, he started working harder to make money from games.

……

At night, Li Baijie bought an agent on Taobao and started playing Korean server.

Although he didn't recognize any of the circled words, it did not prevent him from understanding the various game icons.

"I'm not used to this UI..."

The dark blue user interface also allows more characters to be created. The Chinese server currently only allows 12 characters to be created, but this version seems to have increased to 16.

However, most normal players on the national server only play with one or two accounts, and having three or four definitely gives them enough time.

Just created a priest.

"Uncle has become younger?"

Li Baijie saw that the priest born in Celia's room was much more refined than the original skin in the national server.

The Chinese version is still a middle-aged uncle with disheveled hair, unshaven beard, middle-parted hair, and silver-white armor, which is very manly.

But the man in Korean clothes has transformed into a sturdy young man with short hair and a resolute face. He does look much more energetic.

However, Li Baijie did not come to appreciate this, but to study the "scanning" script.

"The auction house sets prices based on the price and time principle... the data needs to be refreshed repeatedly..."

Li Baijie studied for a long time and began to formulate the internal logic of the script.

"There are indeed many business opportunities here in Korea... but unfortunately, there are not enough people!"

After using the auction house, Li Baijie looked at the prices of many commodities and the ratio of gold coins and felt that there was some profit to be made.

After taking a quick glance at his empty dormitory, Zhou Jinchu attended classes during the week and worked part-time for Du Fei at night. He was nowhere to be seen on weekends.

It feels like I almost live there.

Li Baijie heard that there are actually quite a few game studios and businessmen from the Chinese server on the Korean server. It seems that cheating on the Korean server is illegal, and those caught will be punished by sewing machines.

Therefore, the prices here are extremely stable, and the domestic studios are very profitable.

Over the next month, Li Baijie studied diligently, asked the teacher for help when he didn't understand something, and worked hard to tinker with the "scan and shoot" script.

……

In mid-December, the DNF forum released an interesting career popularity index survey report.

Berserker topped the list with a support rate of 14.97%, and his popularity remains high.

Sword Soul followed closely behind with 10.88% support.

The Red and White Gods account for almost a quarter of DNF's popularity, so much so that the price of Ghost Swordsman's weapons is often much higher than that of other professions.

Therefore, it is also nicknamed "Dungeon and Ghost Swordsman" by netizens.

However, it was even more exaggerated in the later period. The friends who had agreed to play a ghost swordsman profession together later switched to red and white.

The reason is that there is a new god in each version, and there is a great god in each generation.

As for Sword Soul, its versions have ups and downs, but being handsome is a lifelong thing.

In third place is the Wandering Gunner.

This profession is both handsome and cool. Although its damage in clearing maps is low, it still leads the way in PKC.

Especially in the Asian Championship a month ago, when the Korean server's Smokegun Roamer won the championship, the Chinese server immediately started to see countless Roamers using the switching and grabbing gameplay.

Suddenly, the Gun God became even more handsome!
Recently, another PK roamer, Li Zheming, has emerged on the Bang server.

Old roaming players may not know the four major roaming masters in the national server, but they must have heard of this guy called "Face Brother" and "Piano Hands" by players.

Li Zheming is the first roamer after Li Zhenxing to promote the gun-swapping roaming style.

As for the fourth place, he is a magic scholar who has been in the open for less than three months!
The remaining 5 to 10 are more worth recalling, namely Ammunition Expert, Sanda, Street Fighter, Elementalist, Devil May Cry, and Asura.

It is not difficult to see that although they are all Ghost Swordsman, Devil May Cry and Stainless Steel, their popularity is indeed quite low.

But there are even worse ones. None of the clergy made it into the top 10. The Blue Fist Saint ranked 13th, the Paladin ranked 16th, and the Exorcist ranked last at 19th.

Christmas Eve.

Foreign festivals were very popular in China during this era.

Especially among the young people, there are Christmas trees in the shops all over the street, and the loudspeakers are either "Jingle Bells" or "Merry Christmas"...

On the 23rd, DNF also launched many Christmas activities.

For example, in the "New Year's Wisdom and Courage Challenge" event, players can activate the "Destiny Cube" to consume their fatigue during the New Year's Day and Christmas period. By rolling the cube, they can play auto chess on the event page to obtain resurrection coins, summoning capsules, or inheritance jars.

"Tink tink, tink tink, tinkle bell..."

A Christmas tree also appears in Celia's room, and the soothing background music gives players a sense of warmth, peace and joy.

"Is this where you live now?"

Xia Wanying looked around the community. There were low, slightly shabby houses, and the leaves outside the windows rustled in the cold wind, and the windows creaked from time to time.

Has he been living in a place like this for more than a year?

But when I looked inside the room, I saw two computers. Although the quilt on the bed was not folded, it was placed on one side. The sanitary environment was not bad.

"Well, the conditions are a bit tough, which is conducive to the struggle of young people."

An Yi smiled and didn't explain too much.

This is the first time she came to rent an apartment by herself and sent apples to herself...

"Glib tongue!"

Xia Wanying rolled her eyes, sat down in front of the computer, and said, "Someone, peel an apple for me!"

"Good good."

An Yi shook her head and could only wash and peel the big red apple that had just been delivered to her.

At this time, Song Zheyuan's little cat jumped into her arms.

"Hey, where did the cat come from?"

Xia Wanying immediately fell in love with the calico cat and couldn't let it go. She held the calico cat in her arms and started playing with his account.
