"Did I scare you?"
Ji Siyue silently turned around and looked at Qin Chengyao with a warm expression. She didn't know what to say.
To be honest, it was the first time she had seen Qin Chengyao so angry. Did his sudden outburst of anger have something to do with today's live broadcast?
"Um... It's all my fault. Today's live broadcast was a complete failure, and I even lost 20,000 followers."
Hearing this, Qin Chengyao let out a barely audible sigh. He stepped forward, bent down, and pulled Ji Siyue into his arms.
Because of this hug, Ji Siyue felt as if all the blood in her body was about to reverse!
What was he doing?
Why did he hug her?
What on earth was wrong with him?
She only heard his deep and hoarse voice above her head: "It's my fault. I didn't think it through. Don't worry. Next time you go live, no one will treat you like this again."
Ji Siyue's mind went blank. She could only nod woodenly: "Okay..."
Since today's live broadcast didn't go well, Liu Fanghua kept Ji Siyue behind for a talk. After learning that Ji Siyue was innocent, she immediately rushed out with her phone. After a while, scolding could be heard. If nothing went wrong, she should be scolding the game operators.
After a while, Liu Fanghua came back with a strange look on her face: "When I called, they said the technical department was already working overtime. They said someone had already scolded them and told me not to scold again. What the hell... Forget it. Don't worry about it. You can go back today. I will definitely give you an explanation for today's incident. The company will pay to buy back the fans you lost."
"Okay, thank you, Sister Fanghua."
After leaving the company, Ji Siyue looked up at the sky and couldn't help but blush her eyes.
Not for any specific reason, but just suddenly feeling aggrieved.
She was just making the final effort for the carnival. Why did it seem like she had become the bad guy in the end?
When she got back to the dormitory, Ji Siyue didn't even eat dinner. She just sat at her desk, opened her computer, and watched her previous live - broadcast recordings in silence.
The other girls in the dormitory didn't dare to bother her. After calling Bai Yu to ask Qin Chengyao, they found out what had happened in the live - broadcast room today.
An Wen frowned and said indignantly: "I was just busy catching up on my homework today and didn't watch the live broadcast. I can't believe something like this happened! It's simply too much!"
Jin Zhiyan and Tian Cheng didn't know much about this game, but from An Wen's reaction, they could tell that it was serious.
"Um... Siyue? Are you okay?"
Ji Siyue shook her head: "I'm fine. I'm just in a bad mood. You guys go and eat first. I'll be alone for a while."
"Sigh..."
In the evening, Ji Siyue finally managed to perk up a bit and turned off her computer.
Just as she was about to go wash up, her phone suddenly received a message. She glanced at it casually and instantly froze.
"Tian Cheng... Tian Cheng! Tian Cheng, come here! Come here!" Ji Siyue was looking at her phone in an extremely strange posture, as if she had seen something terrifying.
Tian Cheng thought there was a cockroach or something. She ran over and saw Ji Siyue pointing at her phone with wide - open eyes but not daring to look.
"What's going on?" Jin Zhiyan also walked over with a facial mask on.
"Quickly take a look. Does the message on it mean that I'm invited to the carnival?" Ji Siyue pointed at her phone and asked Tian Cheng to look.
Hearing this, the other girls in the dormitory became interested. They knew how important this carnival was to Ji Siyue. After all, she would talk about it for a long time before the carnival every year.
Tian Cheng quickly walked over, picked up her phone, and took a look. Her eyes immediately turned red.
"Siyue! Your dream has finally come true! Finally! It says you're invited to the carnival! As a guest! The guest ticket will be sent to the company tomorrow!!!"
Ji Siyue finally couldn't hold back. She closed her eyes and shouted crazily: "Aaaaaa!"
The few girls hugged each other and cried like children because of a single text message.
It turned out that the feeling of a dream coming true was really this happy!
At the same time, a call came in from an unknown number.
Ji Siyue wiped away her tears, sniffed, and answered the call: "Hello? Who is this?"
A gentle female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Is this Miss Ji Siyue? Is your game ID 'Jiyuejidui'?"
"Ah, it's me."
"Due to the extremely serious impact of this afternoon's melee, we had to shut down the server urgently. We've also realized the immaturity of the PK mechanism. So our technical department has worked overtime to complete the mechanism change. The update announcement has been sent to your email. Please take a look. If it's okay, we'll start the update."
"Ah... Okay, thank you. I'll go and check."
Ji Siyue was a bit confused.
Was that call from the game operator? Why did they specifically call her to let her review the update document?
With doubts, Ji Siyue opened a link sent to her phone just now and it redirected her to a private website. There was the update description text on it.
After reading it all, she was deeply shocked.
This update document only had some minor bug fixes. Other than that, it was all about the reform of the PK mechanism.
Previously, as long as the fatigue value wasn't full, a player could initiate a PK, and the player being PK'd would also have their fatigue value increased accordingly. Now, it had been changed so that a player could only initiate one PK and accept one PK per day. Moreover, the probability of losing equipment and dropping levels had been reduced to 7%.
Many people wanted to attack Ji Siyue, but now she could only accept one PK. Even if she was attacked, the probability of losing equipment had been reduced by three times. This was solving the problem at the root!
Those level hunters should no longer line up to attack her, wasting their time and energy.
After reading it, Ji Siyue called back.
The voice on the other end of the phone was still very enthusiastic: "Miss Ji? What do you think of this update text? Do you have any other suggestions?"
"Well... This whole thing started because of me. If the mechanism is changed now, will it..."
What she wanted to say was that if this update text was released, she might be cutting off the income of many people. She wondered if she would be hunted down all over the internet in the future.
The person on the other end of the phone immediately answered her question: "You don't have to worry about this. We've also thought about the problem of bounty hunters and level hunters for a long time. We've always wanted a fair and just game environment. The appearance of such people has greatly disrupted the game balance, so this is also what we want to do."
