Chapter Index

    January 5th.

    Today is destined to be a day that shocks the world.

    Because today is the official launch and sale of ‘Jianghu’.

    ‘Jianghu’ caused a sensation from the initial project approval and gained worldwide fame during beta testing.

    From the first day of the project, there has been daily news or discussion about this game online.

    This is a game that has attracted attention since its inception because it is destined to be a groundbreaking product.

    The game’s headsets are sold via online orders on the Tianyu game official website, and can be delivered using a courier service.

    The first day sold one million game helmets, and another batch was released on the second and third days respectively.

    The reason for this approach is because the factory can’t keep up with the production speed.

    Even though they are already at full production, such high-tech products take a long time to manufacture.

    Lu Renjia is a high school senior who was a staunch critic of Xu Shaochen’s ‘Jianghu’ project from the start.

    As an online novel fan, he dreamed of having a helmet like those in novels.

    But he knew the current technology couldn’t achieve this, so Xu Shaochen’s ‘Jianghu’ seemed like false advertising, just a money-grabbing trash game.

    However, after the internal testing of ‘Jianghu’, he changed his mind.

    He transformed from a staunch critic to a steadfast fan.

    This time, to get a first batch helmet, he used years of saved money and skipped school to camp at an internet cafe.

    Time passed slowly, and as nine o’clock drew near, the official sale time of the helmets approached.

    Lu Renjia held the mouse feeling immense pressure.

    The entire internet cafe was filled with people waiting to click and order.

    Most were students, and Lu Renjia recognized several familiar faces but was not in the mood to greet them.

    It’s easy to imagine that today schools across Dragon Country would see many students collectively skipping school, forcing schools to close down.

    Lu Renjia stared fixedly at the countdown on Tianyu’s official website.

    10, 9, 8, 7, 6…

    Everyone in the internet cafe held their breath, some even stood from their chairs, inching closer to their screens.

    3, 2, 1!

    As the last second ticked down, countless people clicked their mouses at the same time.

    Lu Renjia was among them and was lucky enough to secure a helmet.

    “I got it! I got it!”

    Lu Renjia shouted in excitement, jumping and yelling like a madman.

    He instantly became the most eye-catching person in the internet cafe.

    Countless people looked at him with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

    Lu Renjia is just a snapshot, representing countless young people in Dragon Country today.

    Some eternally single people even found partners after getting a first batch helmet.

    Those who got helmets were thrilled, and Xu Shaochen was happy too.

    “Boss, in one second, all one million helmets were snapped up!”

    The ‘Jianghu’ project leader reported the latest data to Xu Shaochen with excitement.

    “Good! Good! Very good!”

    Xu Shaochen said ‘good’ three times, showing his excitement. “Immediately announce this news, and I want ‘Jianghu’ to dominate all news platforms domestically and abroad!”

    In one second, all one million expensive helmets were snapped up.

    Everyone, both domestically and abroad, went crazy.

    “Shocking! Tianyu’s gold mine rakes in nearly ten billion in a second!”

    “The wolf is here! With Jianghu’s debut, the gaming industry is freezing over.”

    “He’s here! The man brings Jianghu!”

    Such reports were countless, earning Xu Shaochen national renown.

    Especially among young people, those who haven’t heard of Xu Shaochen are despised.

    ‘Jianghu’ was released only domestically, not abroad, since it didn’t pass foreign government approvals.

    The threat of ‘Jianghu’ was well-known; in Dragon Country, with Tianyu’s ‘Jianghu’, most of the gaming industry was in decline, with many small game companies closing down.

    So, foreign game companies panicked, banded together to resist Tianyu, and promoted Tianyu threat theories.

    Foreign governments, for various reasons, blocked ‘Jianghu’s’ review and banned its release abroad.

    During media interviews, Xu Shaochen was asked:

    “Chairman Xu, ‘Jianghu’ is highly successful domestically. When will this wave hit overseas and showcase our grand Dragon Country’s might?”

    Cough cough, this reporter was just a plant set by Tianyu.

    Xu Shaochen replied: “Initially, Tianyu planned for a simultaneous domestic and global release. Unfortunately, various governments have all blocked ‘Jianghu’s’ review for unknown reasons.”

    “I’ve always been committed to promoting this exceptionally excellent game globally, but it’s unlikely now.”

    This report spread to several overseas countries, and foreign gamers were instantly furious.

    What?!

    I waited so long for this game, only to find out it’s not released here because of our government’s refusal! This is intolerable!

    It’s well known that foreign friends are extremely proactive in asserting their rights.

    Soon, a massive wave rose in overseas countries, with thousands of young people on the streets waving flags printed with Tianyu’s logo, demanding to lift the ban on ‘Jianghu’.

    Seeing this, the overseas countries panicked, not expecting such a huge impact from banning a game.

    To prevent further escalation, almost all countries lifted the ‘Jianghu’ ban simultaneously, allowing its legal sale and operation.

    However, just after they lifted the ban, Xu Shaochen refused again, citing various reasons to stop its overseas sale.

    The countries that initially banned ‘Jianghu’ were desperate, sending negotiators to Xu Shaochen, offering perks.

    They almost kneeled, begging: “Please launch ‘Jianghu’ in our countries.”

    After seeing their sincerity, Xu Shaochen, with a desire to contribute to the gaming industry, finally approved the global release of Jianghu’s overseas version.

    However, he added a small twist, making all in-game dialogues in Dragon Country language.

    Hence, the whole world started learning Dragon Country language.

    Chapter Summary

    On January 5th, the game 'Jianghu' launched, creating a worldwide stir. Sales overwhelmed, with all helmets sold in seconds. Xu Shaochen's project saw massive success in Dragon Country, causing global demand and leading to cross-border negotiations. Eventually, 'Jianghu' was approved for international release, prompting widespread interest in Dragon Country language due to in-game dialogue requirements.
