Chapter 1903: MVP Award Wins Again, A Perfect Farewell!
"It's clear that the Lantingxu team left a deep impression on Brother Cheng."
Nodding, Azi also noticed the seriousness in Fang Yun's tone and agreed with him.
Although Lantingxu is a new team, Pineapple, the general commander of Lantingxu, is not a newcomer. When he served as the commander in Taizhou Bay, Azi had interviewed him.
Pineapple was already quite famous when he was the commander of Taizhou Bay.
And his personal abilities are beyond doubt.
Up to now.
The only championship won by the Taizhou Bay team was still the one led by Pineapple.
And then the pineapple left.
The Taizhou Bay team, which was once active in top competitions, has also declined significantly, with its competitiveness plummeting.
On the contrary, it's the pineapple.
During the period when they disappeared after leaving Taizhou Bay.
Everyone thought he had stopped playing Fantasy Westward Journey.
Unexpectedly, they didn't quit playing; they simply switched servers and started anew!
The key point is that his original work, the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion, was clearly a completely new creation.
Whether he was incredibly lucky or had met some mysterious big boss in private, no one knows.
He managed to create a top-tier team with explosive competitiveness in this new server!
He won the runner-up title in his first All-Star appearance.
The key point is that in the finals, they also played a full best-of-three series against Bianliang City, and even broke Qiancheng's undefeated streak.
This is an incredible achievement that even the gods of 2008 couldn't accomplish!
So even without Fang Yun's words just now.
Ah Zi was also very clear about it.
This Lantingxu team, led by Pineapple, is really strong, and it will only get stronger in the future!
If nothing unexpected happens.
Starting this year.
The already turbulent Martial God Arena is about to undergo a major reshuffle.
And Lantingxu will surely stand out in this great reshuffle and become the next top powerhouse!
I silently sighed to myself.
Azi, not forgetting her duty, smiled and continued, "So, one last question..."
"To date, Bianliang City has won four All-Star championship trophies."
"I don't need to elaborate on how amazing this achievement is; everyone here knows it very well."
"Two years ago, after winning the championship in Bianliang City, I asked Brother Cheng a question: did you have any new plans after winning the championship? And this year, at this special moment, I want to ask you again."
"So, Cheng, after winning your fourth All-Star championship, what are your plans for the future? You're not going to 'retire' again, are you?"
In the end, Azi couldn't help but bring up the little misunderstanding from back then.
"Hahaha! Ah Zi, Ah Zi, why don't you ever learn your lesson..."
"This is clearly because he was just retaliated against by Brother Cheng and is still not satisfied, so he wants to get revenge."
"Retiring again? ... But then again, he's already won four All-Star championships. I think I'd be really tired of it."
"You log on every day to do sect quests and grind experience, how come you haven't gotten tired of it after all these years?"
"Damn, it really is!"
"No need to even think about it, it's definitely about researching new versions and developing new content, I know it by heart..."
Hearing Ah Zi's last question.
While Fang Yun was still deep in thought, the audience below the stage couldn't help but start arguing.
Some believe that four All-Star championships are enough to retire gracefully, and there's not much point in continuing.
But most viewers still don't want to see Qiancheng retire.
Starting from the year Fang Yun led his team to win the All-Star triple crown.
He has become the only living legend in the history of Fantasy Westward Journey.
Now, a year later, he led his team to the All-Star Game again and won the championship.
While winning his fourth All-Star championship.
While people were initially shocked, they have gradually gotten used to it.
Anyway, the All-Star Game only happens once a year.
If the champion team is different every year, people will definitely have more to look forward to and place bets.
But since Bianliang City won four out of five championships.
Considering that Bianliang City has been appearing less and less frequently in the regular Martial God Altar in recent years.
At the end of the year, we can expect to see Bianliang City come out and act arrogantly, and then conveniently win the championship.
That's perfectly acceptable.
Just treat it like watching the Spring Festival Gala.
In other words.
If Qiancheng retires, the All-Star championship will indeed be more suspenseful every year.
But if Qiancheng doesn't retire.
Although there was less suspense.
However, considering Qiancheng's popularity in the game and its terrifying number of fans.
The All-Star event is only going to get even more popular!
So everyone actually knows in their hearts how to choose.
While the audience below the stage were discussing it.
After pondering for a moment, Fang Yun finally spoke.
"First, it's about retirement."
Picking up the microphone and looking at the audience below who fell silent as soon as he opened his mouth, Fang Yun said calmly, "I'll say it again: if I had this idea, I would have said so in advance. Since I haven't said so, it means I don't have this idea for the time being."
"Ness!"
"I knew it! Cheng Ge has become a dream mascot, how could he possibly retire so easily?"
"Not retiring? That means you might continue to compete in the All-Star game next year?"
"Holy crap, Bianliang City is probably aiming for a fifth All-Star title! How are the others supposed to compete?!"
"Can you please be quiet? Brother Cheng clearly hasn't finished speaking yet!..."
Fang Yun assured everyone that he had no intention of retiring for the time being.
Many fans at the scene breathed a sigh of relief.
Again.
Regardless of whether Qiancheng's refusal to retire will turn the annual All-Star event into a champion fan meeting.
Once he actually retires or intends to retire.
This is an unprecedented and enormous blow to both fans and the official team!
Now he is telling everyone with such certainty that he will not be withdrawing for the time being.
Although it is still unknown how long his "temporary" period will last.
But at least in the first year of 2012, there's no need to worry about him running away.
And soon.
Just as the audience below the stage finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fang Yun then added, "As for future plans... researching and developing new versions is a given. After all, as everyone knows, each version has its own meta, and even the strongest team can fail if they don't keep up with the version."
The audience didn't react particularly strongly to his words.
After all, as they said before, everyone had already guessed what they were going to say.
But Fang Yun wasn't just giving a perfunctory answer.
Fantasy Westward Journey updates with new expansion packs every year; this has become a standard practice.
With the emergence of the Martial God Altar.
The Qiancheng family, led by Fang Yun, is arguably the most qualified to comment on the massive impact of the expansion pack on the server wars.
Bianliang City has now won the fifth All-Star championship.
But at the latest, next month.
The brand new expansion pack for this year is about to be officially released!
If Fang Yun remembers correctly, the new expansion pack that will be released this year should be called "Turning Stone into Gold".
The "Turning Stones into Gold" expansion is neither too big nor too small, but its biggest selling point is...
This should refer to the emergence of brand-new 160 weapons and equipment.
This is one of the reasons why many people said this expansion pack was heavily pay-to-win in the previous life.
With the emergence of Type 160 weapons and equipment.
The top-tier weaponry of the 150 level, which those wealthy bosses in the Martial God Altar had spent a lot of money and effort to create, instantly became outdated.
To maintain a first-class or top-level standard.
Upgrading to the new 160 weapons and equipment as soon as possible is their only option.
Fang Yun recalled that when the "Turning Stone into Gold" expansion was first released, there was a period of time when players in the competitive gaming community quit the game.
Some business owners who were already struggling financially were completely overwhelmed by this expansion pack.
Among them is Wei Shao from Baihuacun, who is known as the richest of the rich.
of course.
Judging from the various rumors and leaks that followed.
Westbrook's departure from the game might be related to the release of the "Midas Touch" expansion, but it's probably not that significant.
His sudden retirement was mainly due to deliberate targeting by the authorities and the rumors circulating in the public, the truth of which is unknown.
However, as it turns out...
The departure of these bosses did not cripple the Martial God Altar; on the contrary, it made the event even more popular.
Of course that's all for later.
For Fang Yun...
He's actually quite looking forward to the release of the 160 weapons and equipment.
After all, for someone like him who's cheating.
Whether it's level 150 or 160 equipment, as long as you have the materials, you're bound to get a legendary item.
However, if I could equip all the accounts I have with level 160 gear...
Our overall strength will surely see another surge!
Even if they don't care about increasing their strength.
In terms of appearance alone, Fang Yun would definitely try every means to get himself a bunch of top-tier level 160 weapons.
There's no way around it, "Dragon Capture" is just too damn cool!
In addition to the brand new 160 equipment.
The other new content in the "Turning Stone into Gold" expansion also has a significant impact on the entire game ecosystem.
Take, for example, the new dungeon "Havoc in Heaven," which propelled Fantasy Westward Journey into an era where everyone can own a full set of gear.
The Great Havoc in Heaven was released along with the Midas Touch expansion.
And this instance was released as soon as it went live.
When everyone discovered that defeating the final boss 'Ancient Thunder God' had a chance to obtain an 80-level enchantment orb.
Everyone went crazy!
Anyone who has played Fantasy Westward Journey knows the effects of enchanted orbs.
Simply put, this thing can randomly grant you a set effect for a piece of equipment.
Don't underestimate this change.
You have to understand this in this day and age.
Aside from the super-rich who don't care about money, it's incredibly difficult for ordinary players to collect a full set of gear.
Even the super-rich.
Unless it's someone like Fang Yun who's cheating.
Otherwise, they would also find it difficult to assemble a high-level set.
This is why, even now, many Lion Camel players in the Martial God Altar still cannot afford to wear the transformation set.
With the release of the Havoc in Heaven instance.
Whether you're a casual player or a high-level player.
They will all have the opportunity to create a complete set of their desired outfit.
Although it can only be enlightened to level 80.
But apart from that small group of people who engage in high-level PvP battles.
Most players' need for set items is mainly for quests.
Imagine.
The "Turning Stones into Gold" expansion will be officially released soon.
In the future, more and more transformation sets, Lion Camel sets, Sky-filled sets, Tang Dynasty sets, and calming sets, Dragon Palace and Demon King sets, etc., will appear in Fantasy Westward Journey.
But that's not all there is to the Midas Touch expansion.
New maps, new summoned beasts, brand-new Star Stone sets, and a host of other new content.
This not only further enriches the gameplay at each level of Fantasy Westward Journey, but also elevates the game to a whole new level!
If I remember correctly.
The previous version of Fantasy Westward Journey shocked the entire online gaming industry with a peak concurrent user count of 271 million.
It was created during the release of the Midas Touch expansion.
So one can imagine.
This expansion pack, which received mixed reviews in its previous life, may not be perfect, and its size is not very large.
However, its influence on the entire Fantasy Westward Journey is undeniable.
As for Fang Yun...
Every year, after the All-Star game, we go home for a big celebration, and then wait for the new expansion pack to be released.
It has become an unchanging process.
"Then I wish our Brother Cheng all the best in the new year, and hope he develops lots of new content!"
Just as Fang Yun was lost in thought, A Zi, wearing a headset, suddenly received a notification. She smiled and said, "Just got news! Our official backend has selected this year's MVP, and it's—"
Speaking of it.
She paused deliberately.
The audience below the stage were stunned at first, and then couldn't help but start complaining.
"Hey sis, are you really going to play suspense now? Do you really think your buddies won't criticize you just because you're pretty?"
"What suspense is there in this? The MVP of the year is definitely going to be Cheng Ge!"
"There's no doubt about this. The other candidates are good, but without Brother Cheng, this year's Bianliang City team wouldn't even make it to the top four, let alone the championship."
"The least suspenseful thing ever, Ah Zi's job was so boring..."
Azi's deliberate pause drew criticism, but most viewers weren't actually in a hurry.
Anyone who watched the game knows that.
After winning the championship in Bianliang City.
Fang Yun winning MVP was a foregone conclusion.
If the MVP is announced to be someone else in the end, that would be truly bizarre.
"Alright, it seems everyone knows who it is, so I won't keep you in suspense any longer."
Listening to the complaints from the audience, Azi smiled helplessly, pretended to accept the card with the MVP's name on it handed to her by a staff member, quickly glanced at it and said: "The MVP of this year is—Start with a 98k!"
talking.
At her signal, another staff member carrying the annual MVP trophy stepped forward and carefully handed the trophy to Fang Yun.
"it is good!"
"My brother K has really made it big, he's won the MVP award!"
"Stop joking, isn't Brother K just Brother Cheng? How can he be two people?"
"Including this one, Cheng Ge now has two annual MVP trophies. It's infuriating!"
"This trophy may not be as imposing as the Chi You Trophy, but it feels more exquisite."
"Even small ones are cute..."
Looking at Fang Yun, who was smiling as he accepted the annual MVP trophy on stage.
The audience members took photos and chatted amongst themselves, creating a joyful atmosphere throughout the venue.
While everyone was taking photos to commemorate the occasion.
Having finally completed all the procedures, Azi gave her final speech.
"Alright, thank you very much to all the contestants for accepting our interview!"
"The 2011 Fantasy Westward Journey Martial Arts Tournament All-Star Competition has come to a successful conclusion. Here, we would like to once again congratulate the Bianliang City team on winning the overall championship of this year's All-Star Tournament. We would also like to thank all the players and viewers online and offline for their strong support. See you next year!"
Done.
Amidst reluctant glances.
The stage, which was brightly lit just a second ago, suddenly went dark, marking the end of the exciting 5th Fantasy Westward Journey All-Star Tournament!
