My son is a reincarnated soul; I overheard his inner thoughts and became the richest man.

"What's going on? The Dragon Slayer Sword?"

"Could this guy have won the martial arts tournament?"

A group of players who played Legend of Mir instantly surrounded him, their eyes gleaming with excitement, even more so than when they were looking at a beautiful woman.

"Bro, you really got first place?" someone asked tentatively.

Xiao Feng took a deep breath, trying to calm his wildly beating heart. He took off his headphones, turned around, and flashed a bright white smile: "That's right! I survived to the end by sheer luck, and I came in first place."

"Holy crap! That's awesome!"

The crowd erupted in an uproar.

"This is the first Dragon Slayer sword in the entire server! Plus, you get a free trip to Shanghai for the celebration; I heard even Jay Chou is going!"

"Dude, you're in luck! If you sell this Dragon Slayer sword, you could easily buy a house, right?"

Faced with everyone's praise, Xiao Feng was secretly thrilled, but on the surface he pretended to be calm and waved his hand: "Hey, equipment is just something external. The main thing is to go see my idol in person."

Versailles' speech made everyone around him shudder, wishing they could take his place.

......

Legendary Networks Headquarters.

"Mr. Shen, the matter has been settled."

Qi Jingkang walked into the office with the final ranking list. "The top 100 have been decided. The champion is a warrior named [Feng Xing Tian Xia]."

Shen Qianru nodded: "Very good. Contact these 100 players immediately, verify their identities, and send them invitations. Cover all their food and lodging; make sure they feel our sincerity."

"In addition, send in-game messages to players ranked within the top 10,000, inviting them to attend the celebration at their own expense, with admission free."

"Once we've tallied the number of attendees, any extra tickets will be sold to the public. We'll set the prices reasonable; we're not making money from this, it's mainly about creating a lively atmosphere."

"Understood, I'll take care of it right away."

After arranging the specific tasks, Shen Qianru dialed Chen Feng's number upstairs.

"President Chen, the Martial Arts Tournament has concluded successfully. Regarding the awards ceremony, I would like to ask your opinion. Should I present the three divine weapons to the top three winners, or...?"

Chen Feng glanced at the calendar; the 21st was a Saturday, which was convenient for him.

"I'll do it."

Chen Feng said, "This is the first grand event for Legend, and it is of great significance. I personally presented the knife to the champion."

"Okay, Mr. Chen."

......

July 21, Shanghai Stadium.

As night falls, the lights are on.

The stadium, which can hold 10,000 people, was packed tonight.

Nearly 10,000 legendary players from all over the world gathered together, many of them even wearing self-made guild battle robes, waving glow sticks, their faces full of excitement.

Besides the 100 lucky ones who received full accommodation and meals, there were more than 6,000 die-hard fans who came at their own expense.

The remaining 3,000 tickets sold out instantly as soon as they were released.

That's the power of legend.

In an era of entertainment scarcity, a phenomenal online game is enough to become a collective memory for a generation.

......

As the celebration began, popular idols who were invited took turns performing on stage.

Under the dazzling lights, one popular hit song after another brought the atmosphere to a climax, with cheers rising and falling from the audience.

Su Qing arranged for someone to capture the exciting moments of the event and upload them to the official website in real time, so that players who could not be there in person could also feel the fervor through their screens.

After the song and dance performances, the main event of the evening finally began.

The three winners, dressed in custom-made cosplay costumes, slowly emerged from the rising platform.

These three outfits perfectly replicate the warrior, mage, and Taoist characters from the game, with clearly visible armor patterns and a high-quality feel.

Before going on stage, the three had already selected their prizes according to their rankings.

As the champion, Xiao Feng unhesitatingly locked onto the Dragon Slayer Saber, a symbol of supreme glory. At this moment, he was clad in heavy armor, looking majestic and awe-inspiring.

The other two runners-up and third-place winners chose top-tier equipment for mages and Taoists, respectively.

When these three fully armed players appeared, the roar that erupted in the stadium almost lifted the roof off.

The host's voice rang out at the opportune moment: "Next, please welcome Mr. Chen Feng, founder of Fengtian Technology, to personally present the divine artifacts to the champions, runners-up, and third-place winners of the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Feng, dressed in a sharp suit and with a smile on his face, walked to the center of the stage.

Behind him, three hostesses filed out carrying trays.

On the tray lay three exquisitely crafted weapon models—the Dragon Slayer Saber, the Heaven-Slaying Sword, and the Heavenly Demon Staff.

Although it is just a prop for display, its design is extremely visually striking.

Chen Feng picked up the model with both hands and solemnly handed it to the three players.

Thankfully, it's made of lightweight materials; otherwise, if it were made of real iron, its exaggerated size would probably be difficult to handle with one hand.

Of course, the actual virtual items will be sent directly to the winners' in-game inventory after the celebration.

The moment they received the prizes, Xiao Feng and the other two's hands trembled slightly.

It was as if he was holding not just a model, but the power over the entire continent of Marfa!

The flashbulbs from the audience went off like crazy, capturing this glorious moment.

After the awards ceremony, Su Qing, a senior executive of Legend Network, made a grand finale appearance.

She announced some big news into the microphone: Legend will undergo server maintenance at 2:00 AM on the 22nd to officially launch the "Divine Weapon Descends" expansion!

A brand new map has been unlocked!

The level cap has been increased to 60!

This news reignited the excitement among players who hadn't yet calmed down.

However, what truly ignited the public outcry was not the celebration itself, but a transaction that occurred online two days later.

A post went viral on various forums: Xiao Feng, the champion of the martial arts tournament, sold off the Dragon Slayer Saber that he had just acquired, the first of its kind in the entire server!

Just as countless players expressed their confusion and even questioned its authenticity, the details of the transaction were revealed by insiders—the buyer was a mysterious tycoon from Shanghai, and the exchange token was a 100-square-meter fully furnished apartment located in the central ring of Shanghai!

Based on the local real estate market, this property is worth well over 600,000 RMB!

The news shocked the entire nation!

Not only did the gaming industry explode, but mainstream social media also followed up with reports.

In most people's eyes, games are just a form of entertainment. Who would have thought that a string of virtual code could be exchanged for a real property?

And it's a house in Shanghai!

This stark contrast in values ​​has severely impacted everyone's worldview.

So playing games can really make you rich?

The eyes of countless players instantly turned bloodshot.

A knife can be exchanged for a house – this kind of overnight riches story is playing out right under our noses. Who wouldn't be envious?

The official announcement clearly states that the new version's high-level bosses have a chance to drop the same artifact.

What if I get lucky and get a lucky draw?

Driven by this fervent sentiment, a large number of people who were originally indifferent to online games flocked to the continent of Marfa with the mentality of "gold rush".

The peak concurrent users of the legendary game skyrocketed, breaking through the two million mark!

The company's revenue statements also showed a remarkable upward curve.

As the central figure in this media storm, Xiao Feng is currently lounging comfortably on the leather sofa in his new home.

The rumors circulating outside are still conservative.

This house has an excellent location, exquisite decoration, and is ready to move in. Its actual value is only higher than its actual value.

Since completing the property transfer and moving into the spacious and bright new home with my parents, the atmosphere at home has undergone a complete transformation.

His parents used to nag him for not having a proper job and wasting his youth in front of the computer all day.

Now?

The two elderly people looked at the property certificate in their hands and smiled from ear to ear, never uttering another word of objection.

Are you kidding me? This is real estate in Shanghai! It's worth over 600,000 yuan!

Even if an ordinary wage earner worked for most of his life without eating or drinking, he might not be able to afford it. But his son could earn it back just by moving the mouse and keyboard and playing games for a few months.

With such skill, who would dare say it's a waste of time?

......

Time quietly slipped into August.

Chen Feng sat in the large boss's chair, carefully examining the two heavy financial reports in his hands.

Stimulated by the "Dragon Slayer for a House" incident, Legend Network experienced a surge in traffic in the last week of July, with weekly revenue soaring to 5800 million RMB and total revenue for the month reaching 1.75 million RMB.

The printing press is clearly still ramping up its output.

In contrast, Fengtian Technology's data appears rather flat and stable.

In July, total revenue in the Chinese and American markets was approximately RMB 9.8 million, with a net profit of RMB 2.9 million.

Although there was no explosive growth compared to June, this was exactly what Chen Feng had expected.

After all, F1 and T1 are not essential consumer goods. In China, the market capacity is limited due to the overall consumption level, so a slight decline in sales is a normal correction.

Fortunately, the North American market, where Lin Wan is based, remains strong. Thanks to the continuous bombardment of GG and the excellent user experience of MusicBox, sales have steadily increased, supporting the overall market.

What truly surprised Chen Feng was that unassuming "little brother"—the Fengchi electric vehicle.

Although it is currently only being tested in Shanghai, the sales figures for July are particularly impressive: 5,200 units.

This figure has already matched the total for the first half of the year at the original Luyuan plant.

Moreover, the market feedback has been exceptionally positive. With its two killer features—"climbing hills without pushing the bike and a top speed of 45 km/h"—the Storm One has practically been unstoppable on the streets of Shanghai, leaving its competitors in the dust.

Even if we only consider the small area in Shanghai, the monthly net profit has exceeded 8.5 million.

Although this amount of money is just a drop in the ocean compared to the big brothers upstairs who make hardware and downstairs who make games, this is only the first month of starting out!

The potential of the electric vehicle sector has only just begun to emerge.
