Chapter 28: Recharge 50 Million, Server Crashes

[That bitch is hiding in the safe zone.]

[Why doesn't she log off and run for her life? Does she still want to draw equipment and fight back?]

[She's just a poor freelance gamer who stole her client's equipment. Where would she get the money to draw cards?]

[At most, she can get a single "Legendary" item. But what good will that do? With so many of us, we could cut her to the bone with just one slash each. Even if she draws something, it'll be ours! That's tens of thousands of dollars' worth of equipment!]

Someone asked, [What if she's lucky and gets several "Legendary" items?]

[That's not a problem.]

A high - level player said, [I have an "Epic" item.]

As soon as these words were spoken, all the players in the channel got excited.

[One "Epic" item is worth ten "Legendary" items! I could kill her in a 1v1 easily!]

[Right now, an "Epic" - level weapon on the market costs over a hundred thousand yuan. Just with this weapon, the big shot won't have to work for a year!]

Suihen: [I bow to the big shot! With the big shot's help, it'll be a piece of cake to crush Xiaoning!]

[The victim is here! Everyone, give a hug to this poor guy who was scammed by a freelance gamer.]

[I feel sorry for Suihen. He spent money and got himself into trouble. That was a twenty - thousand - yuan piece of equipment! I suggest reporting it to the police!]

[Yes, report it! Put her in jail and make her pay back the money!]

In a rented apartment, a slovenly and overweight man grinned smugly as he watched the escalating criticism on the screen.

"Fighting against me? I'll pay fifty yuan for each time someone kills you. For just two thousand yuan, I can give you a lifetime of trauma. This is what you get for refusing to let me be your power - leveler!"

He put down his instant - noodle fork and used his greasy hand to tap on the keyboard, whose letters were so worn that they were barely visible.

[Thank you all for your concern. But I've always believed in being kind to others. To err is human. As long as she admits her mistakes and corrects them, I'm willing to give her a chance to atone. For now, I've decided not to call the police!]

[Brother Suihen is so handsome!]

[This is the difference between people! If that Xiaoning were half as kind - hearted as Brother Suihen, we wouldn't have to hunt her down!]

[No! Brother Suihen is so kind that it makes me angry. I want to kill her again right now to vent my anger!]

[@Xiaoning, bitch, come out and die!]

Zhu Ning browsed the forum and found out the origin of the incident.

In the afternoon, Suihen posted a rumor on the forum that she had stolen and sold his "Legendary" weapon worth twenty thousand yuan.

He then fanned the flames of public opinion, making her public image worse and worse.

After that, he issued a bounty to hunt her down, vowing to make her regret her actions.

Countless indignant players quickly formed an alliance and waited for her to log in, eager to avenge Suihen.

They treated her like a rat or a bug to be trampled and hunted!

Zhu Ning's eyes turned cold. She called Cen Shen over to collect evidence and give it to the lawyer. Then she dialed the in - game recharge hotline.

The sweet and gentle voice of the customer service came through. "Hello, this is the customer service of *Ask the Gods*. How can I assist you?"

Zhu Ning said calmly, "I do have something for you to handle." Her eyes fell on the option with the highest recharge amount of 648 yuan. "Please help me activate the custom recharge option. Your current recharge amounts are too small."

The customer - service staff asked gently, "The custom recharge option will be available on the server after the next version update. If you find it troublesome to make multiple single - recharge transactions, we can help you with the recharge. May I ask how much you'd like to recharge?"

"Recharge one million yuan first."

The customer - service staff was stunned. It took two seconds for her to react. "Sorry, ma'am. How much did you just say you wanted to recharge?"

"One million yuan."

"Do you mean to recharge one million yuan all at once? Are you sure?"

Zhu Ning's voice remained emotionless. "Is there a problem?"

"No, no problem. Please wait a moment."

"Okay."

The customer - service staff nervously pressed the mute button, then screamed, "Supervisor! Report this quickly!"

The supervisor rushed over upon hearing the scream. "What's going on? What do we need to report?"

Trying to contain her excitement, the customer - service staff stammered, "A customer wants to recharge one million yuan all at once. You need to report this quickly!"

"Recharge one million yuan all at once?" The supervisor was also shocked. Then he immediately checked Zhu Ning's account. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The customer - service staff nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. "This lady wants to recharge one million yuan!"

Moreover, judging from her tone, one million yuan seemed to be just the beginning.

She might even recharge more!

The customer - service manager's breathing quickened. Since *Ask the Gods* was launched and became a hit, there had been many big spenders, but it was rare for someone to specifically ask to recharge one million yuan all at once. This was a serious matter. He quickly reported it, but was rejected by the marketing manager.

"Activate the custom recharge option for a player who has had a registered account for over a year but has never recharged a single cent?"

"Can't you tell she's just playing with you?"

"Don't activate it!"

"But boss, isn't the custom recharge option going to be launched soon? Wouldn't it be a good idea to activate it for the customer since she has this demand now?"

"Sure."

The sudden change of heart from the manager made the customer - service supervisor overjoyed. But the next second, the manager said,

"Send her the company's collection account and ask her to transfer one million yuan for verification. Only after the verification is successful will we modify the data for her!"

"Transfer the money now, or forget it!"

"Just activate it for her."

A clear and cold male voice came.

The group quickly turned around and saw a cold, handsome, and young face. They shouted in unison, "General Manager Qi!"

Qi Yuwu said calmly, "The system will be launched sooner or later. Since the customer has a demand now, we should put the customer's needs first. Contact the technical department now and ask them to update the system. Everything should focus on serving the customers."

The supervisor and the customer - service staff were overjoyed. "Understood!"

The manager still wanted to argue. "But General Manager Qi, if we update the system suddenly, there might be technical issues..."

Qi Yuwu just glanced at him. "You don't need to worry about the technical issues. Just do your job as a marketer."

"Yes, yes..."

Soon.

The custom recharge system refreshed and appeared. The players who had been hunting Zhu Ning immediately started a heated discussion.

[Look at the recharge interface. There's suddenly a custom recharge option. Isn't this the content that's supposed to be updated in the next version?]

[You're right! The content of the next version has been launched early. Could it be that a big shot called the headquarters of *Ask the Gods* and asked them to update it quickly?]

[Hahaha, it's possible. Maybe this early - updated system is to please some big shot.]

[Which big shot has joined? Big shot, look at me!]

At the headquarters of *Ask the Gods*.

The marketing manager sat at his desk, looking at the early - updated custom recharge system with a sour face.

"The system is online. But where's the one - million - yuan recharge from that Ms. Xiaoning you were talking about?

"Could she be a liar who just called to mess with us?"

"We're lucky General Manager Qi agreed to the early update. Now look, we've been made fools of!"

"Humph, General Manager Qi is still too young."

A young guy from the e - sports background, how could he understand the ins and outs of game operations? He's being slapped in the face now!

The customer - service manager was embarrassed. "Don't be so sure. Maybe Ms. Xiaoning will recharge soon?"

"Recharge soon? You still believe her?" The marketing manager scoffed. "If she can really recharge one million yuan, I'll do a handstand and eat shit right now!"

After he said this, no one dared to respond. As they waited after the activation, the customer named Xiaoning still hadn't recharged. It seemed that, as the manager said, she was a liar, and everyone felt disappointed.

Just when everyone was on the verge of giving up hope, suddenly!

[The recharge - system broadcast: User 1009872 has successfully recharged. The consumption amount is 1,000,000 yuan.]

The entire marketing department erupted into cheers!

"Recharged? How much was the recharge amount just now?"

"One million yuan! Someone has recharged one million yuan all at once!"

"Who? Which big customer is so generous!"

Amid the discussions, the customer - service manager immediately reacted and rushed to the recharge - terminal display screen to check.

Then he shouted excitedly,

"It's her!"

"She's recharged!"

"What?" The marketing manager, who didn't think highly of Zhu Ning, thought he had misheard. He pushed aside the on - looking staff and looked up at the digital ID on the screen. After confirming that it was the same person, he was stunned.

She actually, really, recharged one million yuan!

She wasn't lying to them!

The marketing manager's face turned all sorts of colors. Before he could recover from the shock, he heard another scream.

"She's recharged again!"

[The recharge - system broadcast: User 1009872 has successfully recharged. The consumption amount is 5,000,000 yuan.]

[The recharge - system broadcast: User 1009872 has successfully recharged. The consumption amount is 10,000,000 yuan.]

[The recharge - system broadcast: User 1009872 has successfully recharged. The consumption amount is 15,000,000 yuan.]

[The recharge... system... crashed, busy...]

A series of prompt sounds silenced the entire office area.

The maintenance staff quickly and numbly started to maintain the system.

The words "System crashed" above seemed like a magic spell.

It made everyone's minds go blank.

Since the company was founded over a year ago, this was the first time that someone had, in one day.

No!

It should be said that in just ten minutes.

Completely overwhelmed the recharge system!

The game operator heard the news and rushed downstairs from above. Holding on to the stair railing, he shouted, "Quick, send the 'Miracle' Life Spring and the Infinite Treasure Vault to her email!"

At Jinting Mansion.

Zhu Ning stopped when she saw the system prompt on the screen that the single - person collection limit for the collection account had been reached for the day.

The limit is only fifty million yuan?

It can't take much of a beating. I'll give some feedback next time.

If the people at the headquarters of *Ask the Gods* knew what Zhu Ning was thinking, they would surely twitch the corners of their mouths and jump up in shock.

Only fifty million yuan?

You've single - handedly completed the KPIs of thousands or even tens of thousands of people, okay!

Moreover, the daily turnover of *Ask the Gods* now fluctuates between tens of millions and even hundreds of millions of yuan.

But all these recharge amounts are distributed among tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of accounts within 24 hours.

Who would have thought that one person could crash the system in just ten minutes!

It's terrifying!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the daily consumption amount of one million yuan. A 1:1 rebate has been sent to your bank card. Please check it.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for consuming fifty million yuan of the mission funds. The remaining mission funds are 450 million yuan. Please continue to work hard, host.]

The pleasant prompt sound of the system rang out, and Zhu Ning's mood improved slightly.

Then she looked coldly at the messages in the world channel, where people were constantly shouting for her to come out and fight. She sneered.

She had recharged enough money.

Now it was time for her to draw cards and fight back!
