The game is only half finished, and the entire internet is begging for an update!

That day, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly.

The official Weibo account of Chaoxi Games, the Shenlan platform, and the official accounts of various game forums all posted a new update simultaneously without any warning.

There were no fancy pre-launch hype or riddle-like hints; the main message was simple, direct, and soul-searching.

The title of the core image is extremely large, in bold, and highlighted in red:

[The Chaoxi Game Lottery Event is now open for a limited time! Thirty days of celebration, with daily rewards!]

Next to it was a pile of prize materials.

The "Never Go Home Empty-Handed" cap, fish encyclopedia cards, and float keychains from "The Great Angler"; the imperial seal and investiture documents from "I Found the Imperial Seal!"; and Chaoxi Games T-shirts, badges, and commemorative coins...

The accompanying text was equally simple.

[The "Stay Tuned" event for Chaoxi Games has officially begun!]

Starting today, we will be giving away a batch of game merchandise every afternoon.

[No purchase or quiz required; simply leave a comment below to participate.]

The moment this post was published, the comment section was flooded with players.

[Giveaway! Holy crap! What else can I say? I'm always excited about freebies!]

[Me too! I didn't even see what I was drawing, I'm commenting first!]

【What? All I need to do is leave a comment? Well then, I guess I'll have to say a few words!】

Why did Chaoxi suddenly become so tolerant this time?

[Watch your mouth, upstairs! You still need to fill in your shipping address after winning the prize. Be careful the official platform might try to take it back via the internet!]

[Purchase of merchandise! Chaoxi Games has finally released merchandise! I really want an imperial seal! I want to crown my roommate the General of the Dorm Water Dispenser! Hereditary, perpetual, and never to be stripped of his title, with no chance of retirement.]

[Pick me! I've been a professional air force pilot for many years, and I believe the air force cap should be awarded to those who truly need encouragement!]

Despite their verbal skepticism, the players' actions became increasingly rapid.

The number of comments in the comment section is also increasing.

As the comments section grew lively, the official Chaoxi Games account posted a second update.

This time, there were no photos of the surrounding area.

There is only one official poster with a background of clouds and ten thousand swords.

In the center of the image, a longsword, not yet fully drawn, is stuck diagonally into the mountaintop. Around the sword, countless sword lights from different sects fly into the sky.

At the very bottom of the poster, the exact time that players had been waiting for finally appeared.

[Chaoxi Games' large-scale online real-time cultivation game "I Have a Sword"]

[Officially launched one month later!]

Everyone, please stay tuned.

When the previous giveaway post was published, players were just excited.

After this post appeared, the entire comment section immediately went wild.

Players were still anxiously waiting for the plot of the "Sword Breaks the Sky" animation, but when they checked their phones, wow, not only was the game officially scheduled for release, but they could even get free merchandise?!

[Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!]

[That old scoundrel finally did something decent! He's going online next month?! I'm going to take my annual leave right now!]

[Why are you guys so fake? I'm so envious!]

[That's easy. I'm actually fed up with celebrating holidays by looking at the calendar. I'm planning to celebrate Chinese New Year next month! Happy Chinese New Year everyone!]

[Between Beetroot! Happy Chinese New Year! Wishing you a Happy Lunar New Year!]

[With drums and firecrackers going off everywhere! Is there really a specific date? This can't be something a temporary worker would do!]

[I checked it three times, and it's not "coming soon"!]

[I checked Weibo, and the time was clear; the words "I have a sword" were clearly written in the text. I couldn't sleep, so I looked at it carefully for ages! Finally, I saw between the lines that the whole thing was written with two words: "Online!"]

[Have you learned to read a calendar through Chaoxi Games?]

[Has Jiang Bo been possessed? How could he possibly say something as specific as "a month later"!]

[Quickly take a screenshot! Take a screenshot now! What if they change their mind later!]

Many players' first reaction wasn't even to celebrate.

They first saved the poster, then recorded the screen, took screenshots, and forwarded it! Preserving evidence!

People are used to playing games day and night.

Now that Jiang Bo has suddenly given a precise time, the players are finding it somewhat difficult to adjust.

Are players blocking the entrance and demanding more updates?

Now the whole world knows! If they really default on the payment, it's illegal!

[One month! Just one month! Brothers, I'm resigning to cultivate immortality!]

The boss asked me what my plans were for next month, and I said there was something going on at the sect.

My mom wants me to go on a blind date, but I told her I'm sorry, I already have someone I like, her name is Kendo.

In just one hour, the number of comments on Chaoxi Games' official Weibo account exceeded 10,000, and the number of reposts showed a terrifying viral expansion.

The power of getting something for free is boundless, especially since this is not only free, but also comes with a clear release date as a strong incentive!

The entire player community of "I Have a Sword" is like celebrating the New Year early right now!

however.

Human sorrows and joys are not interlinked.

The atmosphere in the discussion forum for "Love Requires Talking to People" was particularly bleak.

[Did they arrive last again?]

Why is it happening again? Why do latecomers surpass early competitors just because the early ones didn't compete?

I watched helplessly as "I Have a Sword" went from being greenlit to having animation produced, gameplay footage shown, and a release date set; it just slipped right past me!

[Where's "Love Requires Talking to People"? Why aren't you letting me keep looking forward to it? I've been waiting for this game for so long, a month or two already!]

Jiang Bo, where did you put the key to the zoo gate?

Later... I finally learned how to love... but you had already gone far away and disappeared into the sea of ​​people...

Despite the earlier announcement of "Love Requires Talking to People," the game still doesn't have a release date.

"I Have a Sword," which appeared later, actually confirmed its official opening date first.

This completely shattered the morale of the players who had been waiting for so long.

"...Guys, am I seeing things? What's the name of that game that was officially announced to be launching again? ]"

[I got cut in line again! I got overtaken again!!!]

[Brothers, I'm devastated. I just failed at a blind date this morning, and I was hoping to soothe my wounded heart with this game, but now it tells me I can't even get a virtual wife!]

There's no hope, there's really no hope!

To be blunt, even cancer-fighting communities offer more hope than this!

At least other countries get to see new drugs and treatment progress every day; here, all we get are four words: "Keep hoping!"

I feel like Xiahou Dun gazing at Louis XVI from afar, unable to see the end of the road!

Although I didn't understand why these two could be gazing at each other from afar, they were definitely very far apart!

……

On the other side, in Pengcheng, Gao Chi stared intently at the words "online time" on the screen.

He slowly swiped the mouse, glanced at the jubilant sword cultivators in the comments section, and then looked at the group chat in his communications called 【Evening Undead Clan Alliance】.

"This is outrageous! That old scoundrel Jiang Bo is going too far!"

He took a deep breath and his fingers flew across the keyboard.

"Brothers! What do we call this? We've been relegated to the sidelines!"

The moment those words were spoken, the somber atmosphere in the group chat reached its peak.

【Pure Love God of War】: The streamer is right! We're in such a terrible situation!

【Nice Rabbit Squid】: Why can't I stop crying!

[AAAA Building Materials Old Wang]: There's no hope, absolutely no hope. Forget it, everyone go cultivate immortality, I've resigned myself to my fate. I've decided to buy an iron sword tonight and practice the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual at home. This relationship is better off gone!

As Gao Chi watched his friends in the group go completely mad, his resentment grew stronger and stronger.

He opened the comment box directly, gathered his emotions, and poured all his literary talent onto the keyboard, leaving a long comment:

"When I was 18, a fortune teller came to the village entrance."

He looked at my face and sighed repeatedly.

He said I was destined to face a calamity, and if I couldn't overcome it, I would suffer from insomnia, sleeplessness, and gradual weight loss.

I was young and impetuous at the time, and I asked him with a smile what kind of calamity it was.

He shook his head and said mysteriously, "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed."

I never took that sentence to heart until today, until I saw this post from Chaoxi Games.

I finally understood what the fortune teller meant.

This is neither a love tribulation.

It's not a financial loss either.

It's not a career setback either.

But... when the hell will "Love Requires Talking to People!" finally be released?!

I've been trapped here for months, please, all you powerful figures, help me!

The replies below were equally filled with despair.

Fellow Daoist, this calamity is inescapable.

[This humble Taoist has been sitting in meditation at the zoo entrance for three months, and the gates still haven't opened.]

[Don't panic, OP. After "I Have a Sword" is released, let's cultivate our immortality first, then come back and figure out how to save the zoo.]

Is it possible that by the time we ascend to immortality, "Love Requires Talking to People" will still be in testing?

"Then don't ascend! The White Mud Sect is right, don't ascend!"

[Holy crap! Case solved! Is this the truth behind not wanting to ascend?]
