National destiny: Global tower climbing skills have decreased by 10,000 times.

In the small room, Ye Fei shut down the computer, and Xing Yuan called very quickly:

"Hei Xi! I found out, this 'Sakura's First Sword' is indeed no ordinary person."

"How so?" Ye Fei asked with some concern.

"It's nothing, I just followed the ID and found that the account was newly registered in Japan three days ago."

"However, just a month ago, the owner of this account had a registration record in the UK! He has deleted the account, but some traces have still been left."

Ye Fei's first thought at that moment was:

How did he find this out?

He recalled his alternate account, "Night Rain," which seemed to be the same account he had found. He had been somewhat puzzled at the time, but now he blurted it out:

"How do you know everything?"

"Um," Xingyuan paused for a moment, "basically, we used some technical means...you don't need to worry about that."

"That's not important, the important thing is yet to come..."

Ye Fei listened as Xing Yuan continued:

"The owner of this account, 'Sakura's First Slash,' is neither a streamer nor a professional; he's just an ordinary, unknown expert who mainly plays with glitch bots."

"But since the middle of last month, this player suddenly started creating new accounts, only playing the Hunter class, and quickly reached Arena 6 with very high scores."

"I also took a look. The time he spent creating his account and rushing to advance his rank basically matches the time he went to the United States, so I guess..."

Ye Fei quickly answered, "So you think he went to the UK to learn some tricks?"

"Yes, you could say that, but I don't think it's that simple," Xingyuan explained.

"Rather than 'stealing' his skills, it's more accurate to say he went to 'become an apprentice.' I even suspect..."

"It was this so-called 'master' who approached him!"

Ye Fei also sensed something amiss; Xing Yuan's words did indeed make sense.

If he is just an unknown, ordinary player, why would he presume to represent the image of the entire country and openly declare war on the Dragon Kingdom?

If he wins, it seems there are no benefits other than making him famous.

If he loses, he will not only face contempt from countries around the world, but even his own countrymen will not recognize him. He will be "condemned by all," and the risks far outweigh the benefits.

However, for the Dragon Kingdom, the potential negative impact could be much greater.

If Wuhen hadn't won that match, his "No Hunters in the Dragon Kingdom" attack would have become a reality.

By then, people all over the world will know that the entire Dragon Kingdom has been defeated by a person from the Cherry Blossom Kingdom.

Isn't this clearly a pure attack?

And the purpose of doing so is rather strange, isn't it?

Thinking about this, Xingyuan's meaning became clear: if this "First Sakura Sword" was acting under someone's orders, then everything would make sense.

And this person is most likely the "master" from the United States.

Xingyuan continued:

"Furthermore, I also found that this account owner has purchase records on 'Moon Shadow Club,' all of which were completed in one transaction and paid in British dollars."

"The 'Moonlight Gathering'?" Ye Fei asked, puzzled.

"That's right, it's a very secretive trading platform on the external network, inaccessible through ordinary channels... Didn't you know?"

Ye Fei said "I don't know," and Xing Yuan continued to explain:

"Actually, it's not a secret. Anyone who frequently visits foreign websites knows that it's actually an illegal 'cheating software trading base'."

"And the cheats sold there are not ordinary cheats, but high-level cheats! The channels are hidden, and ordinary methods cannot detect them at all."

"Moon Shadow Club" is a high-end cheat trading website hidden in the illegal world of the internet.

This website's customers come from all over the world, remain anonymous, and form a circle among its members.

Access to this website is not publicly available; only those invited by internal staff can become official clients and gain access.

The products traded there include advanced cheats for various mainstream games, with Slay the Spire having the most.

These high-end cheats are generally powerful, extremely covert, and very expensive. They are sold through a leasing system rather than a buyout.

The more advanced and powerful the cheat, the more expensive it is, and the higher the access level required.

"So, I reckon he got his cheating device from here... Luckily, Wuhen is smart!"

"If he hadn't seen through it in time and exposed it, our entire Dragon Kingdom would probably have been dragged into this mess."

Ye Fei listened to his words and nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

In the office, Da Kun and Coach Lu were intently staring at the same screen.

They flipped through several news articles, all of which were news reports and analyses about the "Sakura's First Blade Live Stream Attack Incident".

"It's a pity you arrived too late and missed Wuhen's live stream. Otherwise, I would say it was truly spectacular!" Da Kun said.

"Boss, please tell me your thoughts on this matter."

Da Kun cleared his throat, immediately wiped away his smile, and became serious:

"I think that after this incident, the Chinese government will definitely take new actions."

"A new move?" Coach Lu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Hmm." Da Kun continued, "Think about it, if it weren't for Wuhen holding things up single-handedly, where would our Dragon Kingdom find a hunter?"

"A new move?" Coach Lu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Hmm." Da Kun continued, "Think about it, if it weren't for Wuhen holding things up single-handedly, where would our Dragon Kingdom find a hunter?"

Coach Lu nodded slightly; he understood Da Kun's meaning. Although Wuhen won this match, how many Wuhens are there in the entire Dragon Kingdom?

"Besides, don't you think this 'First Slash of Cherry Blossoms' fighting style is strange?" Da Kun continued.

"Putting aside the cheating issue, his skills and strategy are undeniably top-notch. And in the entire Chinese tower defense community, who has ever seen such a playstyle?"

Coach Lu suddenly realized what Da Kun meant:

This attack on the Hunter demonstrates that other countries have already begun developing niche characters and have achieved some success.

This "First Sword of Sakura" is just one person from the land of cherry blossoms. He has shown us only the tip of the iceberg, but it is enough to make the entire Dragon Kingdom very nervous.

Not to mention the R&D teams of e-sports powerhouses like the United States, Germany, and Korea; nobody even knows how far their development in this area has progressed.

Fortunately, Wuhen won, barely managing to preserve a shred of dignity for the Dragon Kingdom.

But if they lose, it will undoubtedly expose to the world China's weakness of "only knowing how to play with faulty robots".

If other countries develop targeted research and countermeasures based on this weakness, and then use them specifically against China in next year's battle for national destiny, what will be the consequences?

Thinking of this, Coach Lu instantly felt a sense of crisis.

"You mean, our Dragon Kingdom might start focusing on developing niche characters this year?"

Da Kun picked up the teacup on his desk, took a sip, and pursed his lips.

"Hmph, I never said this matter was of utmost importance. You can figure it out yourself."

Just as Coach Lu was about to ask another question, Da Kun picked up his teacup and gestured for him to pour some water. He took the teacup, knowing it was inappropriate to ask any further questions, and gave up the idea.

However, he knew in his heart that if his guess was true, it would have a significant impact on the entire Dragon Kingdom Tower Circle, from top to bottom.

Before this, China had never had a precedent for developing niche characters in esports. If they were to start doing so this year, it could only mean:

This will be a huge reform.
