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

Half a month later.

Time flies by once again.

In the blink of an eye, fifteen days have passed since the Battle of Falling Star Plains that shocked the entire internet.

The popularity of "I Have a Sword" did not decrease with the conclusion of the main storyline; on the contrary, it burned brighter and brighter, like oil being poured on a raging fire.

Many players began to refocus their attention on the Sword Qi Continent.

New cities, new sects, and new historical sites appear on the forum homepage almost every day.

Someone found a sword mound frozen in a glacier in the northern ice plains and dug out a sword technique called the "Frosty Cicada Sword Art" that requires cultivation in a low-temperature environment.

In order to increase their cultivation speed, players sat in groups in the snow to meditate. Before long, the area outside the Sword Tomb was crowded with sword cultivators wearing thin clothes and braving the cold.

Someone also discovered an upside-down mountain peak in the southern mountains.

The direction of the sword intent on the entire mountain peak is completely opposite to that of the normal area. As soon as the player enters on their sword, the flying sword beneath their feet will fall uncontrollably into the sky.

In addition, the number and variety of sword techniques are also increasing.

In addition to the basic sword techniques publicly taught by various sects, players also obtained a large number of hidden sword techniques from ancient tombs, caves, abandoned villages, and various strange NPCs.

Someone in a tavern drank over thirty jars of wine with a drunkard and successfully learned the "Drunken Swordplay".

This sword technique can only unleash its full power when the character is in a drunken state!

Someone else unlocked the [Dragon and Phoenix Sword] in an abandoned theater.

The sword technique itself is fine, but the learning requirement is that two players work together to complete a complete set of sword fighting movements.

Many male players couldn't find suitable partners, so they ended up pairing up and spending an afternoon practicing affectionately in the center of the theater.

Various player sects gradually developed.

Gu Yunmian's [Compassionate Crossing] became famous after the battle of Falling Star Plains, and the number of sect applicants has always remained at the limit. Now it has developed into the number one sect in the entire server.

Other large sects were equally unwilling to be outdone, such as the Pure Love Sword Sect, the Immortal Cultivation Branch of the Burial Love Family, and the Twin Ponytails... all sorts of forces were intertwined and complex.

Sect wars, battles for wild bosses, the World's Number One Swordsman Tournament... a variety of gameplay modes followed one after another, completely revitalizing the game's ecosystem.

……

Star City, games day and night.

On the large screen in the conference room, the revenue data for "I Have a Sword" half a month after its launch has just been compiled.

Ma Shangfei sat directly in front of the screen, checking the string of numbers several times, still somewhat incredulous.

"Is this really only for half a month?"

"Are the statisticians sure they didn't misplace the decimal point?"

Zhou Guangqi also glanced down at the background records on his computer.

"That's right."

"Refunds, channel commissions, and fees payable have all been calculated separately; this is the actual transaction record."

The meeting room was quiet for a moment.

"This made way more money than 'No War Tomorrow 1,' didn't it?"

"Before 'No War Tomorrow 1,' it was already one of Chaoxi Games' highest-grossing projects, but 'I Have a Sword' was released half a month ago and has already left it behind."

Pei Qianqian couldn't help but add a sentence.

"To be precise, 'I Have a Sword' has already earned more than all of our previous games at the same time."

"It's not just the turnover that's high; players log in every day. Some log in to farm materials, some to participate in sect activities, and some don't do any tasks at all, just posing for photos in Lintian City."

"As long as they keep playing, people will continue to buy the new outfits in the store."

Most of the projects the group had worked on before were single-player games.

Once a single-player game is sold, the revenue it can generate is basically fixed.

Sales can be astonishing when they surge, but revenue tends to decline over time.

"I Have a Sword" is completely different.

Players might buy an outfit today, and tomorrow they might be eyeing a new flying sword effect. Once their personal appearance is fully customized, they'll also decorate their cave dwellings, sects, and flying sword vehicles…

Looking at the steadily rising curve every day, Shen Zhaozhao finally understood why those large online game companies could rely on just one product to sustain themselves for years or even longer.

"No wonder so many companies are abandoning well-received and respected single-player masterpieces and are going to great lengths to make online games and pay-to-win mobile games."

"A wildly popular online game easily generates over 100 million RMB in revenue per month! This rate of profit is enough to make even a printing press weep! Who can resist that?!"

Ma Shangfei couldn't help but sigh.

"yes!"

"Our store doesn't have any attribute-boosting items yet."

"If they dared to put in a divine sword that increases damage with in-game purchases, I guarantee that the sales of just that one sword would surpass the revenue of our game 'No War Tomorrow 1'!"

"Of course!"

"..."

Listening to the discussion among the crowd.

Jiang Bo sat at the very front of the conference table, still appearing quite calm.

But his attention wasn't entirely focused on the flowing water.

In the system panel that only he could see, the expectation level was also steadily rising.

Before the Falling Star Plains incident, players' expectations for "I Have a Sword" mainly focused on the growth of their destined sword, hidden sword techniques, and curiosity about unknown areas.

After the Seer of the Realm arrived ahead of schedule, the whole situation changed.

The black cracks in the sky have not disappeared.

Every day when players log in, they can see that mark hanging in the sky as soon as they look up.

Some speculate that the next batch of peers will appear in a month, some believe that there are other Ascension Platforms hidden in the ruins of the White Mud Sect, and some players have already begun to stockpile medicines and sword-repairing materials in preparation for the second Battle of Falling Star Plains.

Currently, discussion threads about the main storyline of "I Have a Sword" on various gaming forums have reached hundreds of pages.

Countless players are wildly speculating: What kind of BOSS will drop from the celestial rift next? And when will it descend?

Someone even created a countdown calendar on the forum.

[The next unknown event is likely to occur in about thirteen days.]

The comments below are updated daily.

The crack seems a little wider today.

Good grief, your timeline is so vague! You've really mastered the art of playing the day-and-night game with your calendar!

I saw shadows passing by in the North.

Brothers, let's prepare in advance this time. We absolutely cannot let the BOSS slaughter us like this again!

[The player using the sword-drawing technique has begun charging up.]

[Bro? You've been building up your strength for over ten days? Um... I've been there! Your body can't handle being this tense!]

Before the second boss even appeared, the players had already prepared their teams, medicines, formations, and contingency plans.

And all these discussions and desires are constantly being transformed into expectations.

Jiang Bo watched the numbers jump around, and his mood was naturally quite good.

The early appearance of the Seekers did disrupt the original plot, but it also made players realize sooner that there was a much larger world beyond the Sword Qi Continent.

As long as that crack doesn't disappear, players' anticipation for future versions will never cease.

More importantly, after "I Have a Sword" entered stable operation, Chaoxi Games' other two projects also finally came to a conclusion.

Jiang Bo closed the system panel and looked at the other side of the conference table.

"By the way, how's the workshop for 'Top Customer Service, Wandering the Heavens!' going?"
