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

Time passed quickly, and the next day arrived in the blink of an eye.

The official account of Chaoxi Games launched a random lottery program on time.

Countless eyes across the internet are glued to the screen, hoping to be the lucky one chosen by fate.

After finishing his noodles, Gao Chi was about to start a live stream and cry with his viewers, accusing Chaoxi Games of favoritism.

Suddenly, his phone, which he had left on the bed, vibrated.

Gao Chi picked it up and saw it was a message notification from the Weibo system.

Congratulations! You have been selected as a lucky player in @ChaoxiGames' limited-time lucky draw event!

"Holy crap?!"

Gao Chi's eyes widened instantly, like copper bells. His previous grief and grievances vanished in an instant, replaced by an unbelievable ecstasy!

"I won?! I actually won?!"

"Am I really that lucky?"

He was so excited his hands were trembling, and he quickly clicked to open the details of winning the prize.

He was filled with fantasies of himself holding that Imperial Seal of the State, showing off wildly in his fan group. This was a limited-edition item, a first release online!

However, when he saw exactly what he had drawn, the smile on his face instantly froze.

[Your prize is: One limited edition official "Great Angler" merchandise item: Never Fail Special Embroidered Sun Hat!]

Please fill in your shipping address within 24 hours, and we will ship it to you as soon as possible, free of charge!

Huh? A hat?

That’s okay too!

"This... is at least an officially licensed limited edition item."

"As the saying goes, if something is free, even if it's a pile of shit, I'll still try it."

"Besides, these were drawn from hundreds of thousands of people! The odds are even lower than winning the lottery! Why not take advantage of it!"

Gao Chi found himself a good excuse and then smoothly clicked on the address to fill in the link.

Name: Gao Chi.

Telephone: 138xxxx……

Detailed address: Pengcheng City...

"Snapped!"

submit!

Seeing the message "Address confirmed, awaiting shipment" pop up on the screen, Gao Chi gave a satisfied, silly grin.

After filling it out, he even took a screenshot of the winning page and sent it to the Undead Clan group.

Brothers, did you see that?

[An officially recognized great angler!]

This giveaway was absolutely rigged! I can vouch for it!

The group was silent for a few seconds, then someone replied.

The hat read, "Never Air Force."

The authorities may simply feel that you have a particular need for it.

This is outrageous! This is blatant betrayal!

【How could you accept this? How could you possibly win it? You should have sent it to me, and I would have handled it for you! You don't even like fishing!】

As Gao Chi read those words, the smile on his face slowly faded.

But after glancing down at the winning notification, he ultimately chose to forgive.

Something is better than nothing!

……

A month later.

The "Stay Tuned" lottery event, which lasted for a full thirty days, finally ended at noon on that day.

These thirty days were an unprecedented carnival for gamers.

Every day, countless players are drawn to this simple and straightforward free-to-play event, and the number of followers on Chaoxi Games' official account has also begun to skyrocket.

Those lucky individuals who received physical merchandise over the past month have already begun showing off on various social media platforms.

The lottery remained popular for a whole month.

The winner posted a picture.

Those who didn't win leave a message every day.

Some players persisted from the first day to the last, failing to win a single prize in thirty draws, turning their daily check-ins in the comments section into personal records of bad luck.

[On the first day, I believed that the Imperial Seal would eventually be mine.]

On the tenth day, I suspected there were treacherous officials in the court.

[On the twentieth day, I have prepared to personally lead the army and enjoy leisure day and night.]

On the thirtieth day, my kingdom fell.

Fortunately, players are too busy with the lottery today.

Because it's noon.

"I Have a Sword" is officially launched!

There were no delays or temporary maintenance.

Chaoxi Games even opened its servers ten minutes early, allowing players who had been waiting in front of their computers to log in ahead of time.

On major live streaming platforms, the "I Have a Sword" section instantly topped the homepage.

Chi Cheng's live stream room is no exception.

Five minutes before the server opened, he was already sitting in front of the camera, having changed into a Chaoxi Games T-shirt.

What's most striking is that his right hand is holding something in a very rhythmic manner.

This is the most prized item among the prizes and giveaways from Chaoxi Games over the past month: the Imperial Seal of the State!

"Snapped!"

Chi Cheng picked up the imperial seal and slammed it hard on the mousepad like a gavel.

"Brothers."

"I know you're all very excited right now."

"But before entering 'I Have a Sword,' the streamer has something even more important to announce."

The comments scrolled by quickly.

Are you quitting the internet?

[Are you finally going to admit you bought followers?]

[Is he going to announce his secret relationship with a fan?]

[Start the game quickly, nobody wants to hear your last words!]

Chi Cheng completely ignored it and directly raised the jade seal in his hand.

"Welcome, my beloved subjects, to my live broadcast room. Have you all seen this? Can you all read?"

"What do you call this? This is what you call orthodoxy! This is what you call prestige! Officially certified by Chaoxi Games, the chosen one, is none other than myself!"

The live stream chat exploded with comments; the viewers weren't going to tolerate him at all.

[Pah! That jerk streamer is showing off again!]

"You call yourself 'I'? You're just a streamer, I'm a respectable gamer!"

[You, an unlucky player, can actually pull the Imperial Seal of the State? I don't believe it! You even get the wrong pity system in gacha games, how could you possibly win in a lottery with hundreds of thousands of participants?]

[Please be honest, is this jade seal a high-quality plastic replica that you bought for 9.9 yuan with free shipping on Pinduoduo?]

Stop being so rude and get ready to log into the game!

[Impossible! This person is that lucky?]

[Investigate! Conduct a thorough investigation of the Chaoxi Games lottery backend!]

Chi Cheng looked at the screen full of question marks and slowly smiled.

He stretched out his hands and solemnly picked up the imperial seal.

"I know you are very envious now."

"But some things, you are born with them, and if you are not born with them, you will hardly ever have them in this lifetime."

"This is what we call destiny."

After saying that, he even pointed the bottom of the jade seal at the camera.

[By the mandate of Heaven, may your life be long and prosperous.]

Although the eight reversed seal characters are a bit hard to see, their overall effect is quite impressive.

Chi Cheng became more and more satisfied as he looked at it, and casually picked up a pre-prepared document for investiture.

"Come."

"Today happens to be the big day for the launch of 'I Have a Sword'."

"I hereby bestow the title of 'Grand General of the Livestream' upon the first viewer who sent a gift in the livestream."

"The rest of them will all be incorporated into the Imperial Guard."

The comments section immediately erupted in protest.

I refuse to accept this!

Why should the one who pays the money be the general?

[What a tyrannical ruler!]

[The imperial seal hasn't even been properly used before they start selling official positions!]

I'm applying to join the "Purge the Emperor's Lay Men" alliance!

Chi Cheng snorted heavily.

He placed the imperial seal on the table, his tone exceptionally domineering.

"What I give you is truly yours."

"If I don't give it to you, you can't take it!"

The live stream chat was flooded with messages again.

What a remnant of feudalism!

[Just you wait, I've already contacted the streamer next door to start an uprising!]

[The Imperial Seal of the State is in your hands, but why does it look more and more like a toy?]

[Host, please show us your winning record.]

Upon seeing the last comment, Chi Cheng visibly paused for a moment.

He lowered his head to organize the official documents, pretending not to see them.

However, viewers in the live stream are best at spotting anomalies.

Why aren't you saying anything?

[Feeling guilty!]

[Could this imperial seal be fake?]

Show your winning record now!

Seeing that he couldn't fool them anymore, Chi Cheng could only clear his throat.

"What's so interesting about winning lottery records?"

"Does the process by which I obtained the Imperial Seal matter?"

"Throughout history, whoever possesses the imperial seal possesses the world! The process is unimportant; the result is what matters!"

"Now that this imperial seal is in my hands, I am the sole true king of this Sword Qi Continent!"

【？？？？？】

How shameless!

[Rumor has it that the streamer bought this from a viewer!]

[Hahaha, I told you, streamer, you definitely wouldn't have that kind of luck!]

[The Imperial Seal of the State can still be bought and sold? Who did it? And how did they sell it?!]

[Who says it can't be sold anymore? I saw it selling for over a thousand at the seafood market!]

Holy crap! Over a thousand dollars for merchandise? Am I crazy or is he?

[You wicked capitalist! You actually used money to corrupt that innocent and upright person!]

Long live Your Majesty!

Wow, so it was a pay-to-win system!

Chi Cheng didn't want to continue this topic.

Just then, the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen jumped to twelve o'clock, and he immediately perked up.

"The server is now open!"

"I will temporarily suspend court today."

"I'll conquer the Sword Qi Continent first, then I'll come back and deal with you traitors!"

After saying that, he quickly clicked the game icon on the desktop.
