Mufeng was busy all day enhancing his abilities, but he didn't know that the internet was already in an uproar. It wasn't because of anything else, but because someone had uploaded a video to the "Sky" forum showing the Thousand Silent Sides ambushing Mufeng and his four companions!

The video started from when Mufeng and his group walked out of the tomb and ended when the shooter fled with the main force, recording the entire event. No one knew how the video had spread, but it might have been bought at a high price by an enemy of the Thousand Silent Sides. In any case... the Thousand Silent Sides and the Melancholy Wind were furious!

One stone stirred up a thousand waves. Mobilizing a thousand people to deal with the Melancholy Wind, only to be repelled by him alone! The once top guild of the Dark Tribe, the Thousand Silent Sides, saw their reputation plummet to the lowest point. However, the players were drawn to another matter: the terrifying strength of the Melancholy Wind! Everyone had always believed that the balance in "Sky" was well done, and even if you were powerful, you could still be defeated by a numerical advantage. But... Mufeng's actions shattered this beautiful illusion! How did he manage to repel a thousand people alone!

After watching the video, players began to question the fairness of the game. The already heated forum was refreshed with countless posts every second, questioning the "Sky" company. How could such an unbeatable monster be born so soon after the game's launch!

Three people can make a tiger, let alone millions! Under immense pressure, the "Sky" company had to come forward to explain. For this, they specially held an emergency press conference.

The press conference was held at the "Sky" company headquarters, which also served as a promotion for the company. Due to the terrifying influence of "Sky," several satellite TV stations even broadcast it live!

First, there were the usual speeches by the leaders, and finally, it was time for the Q&A session. When the host asked for questions, the scene immediately became chaotic! Everyone had only one question, and no one wanted to miss the chance to ask.

In the end, a beautiful female journalist won the opportunity and directly asked the "Sky" company president!

"President, regarding the game balance issue that players are concerned about, what do you have to say to the players?"

"President, what do you have to say about the abnormal strength of the player Melancholy Wind?" the journalist continued to press.

"I'm sorry, but we cannot answer how the Melancholy Wind became this way. On one hand, the data is controlled by the main brain cc, which we cannot access. On the other hand, it is the privacy of the player Melancholy Wind, and we have no right to disclose it. What I can tell you is that we have very ambitious goals for 'Sky,' and to achieve these goals, there must be hero-level players in the game who can stand against thousands!"

"Hero-level players? Mr. President, are you sure this won't disrupt the game balance?"

"It won't. 'Sky' will inevitably become a groundbreaking MMORPG, with wars involving millions of players in the later stages! If the leaders on both sides can only kill a dozen ordinary players and can be easily taken down, how can the game be played? However, rest assured, there won't be too many hero players, and the path to becoming a hero player will be full of challenges! If you want to become a hero-level player, then work hard!"

"But on the first day of the game, after players reach level 10, the hero players of all professions are already determined! Does this mean that other ordinary players are destined to be trampled underfoot?"

"Of course not. Hero players are just ahead in the early stages of the game, appearing strong. As the game progresses, players will gradually discover hidden professions, divine pets, and other elements. After all, the level cap for the first chapter is 45, and reaching level 45 just means the game is just beginning!"

"Thank you, President, I have no more questions!" The female journalist sat down, satisfied. She had uncovered a lot of information, and now she had something to report!

"Good, the second one!" The Q&A session couldn't just let one journalist ask, so it continued.

"Mr. President, gold coins in the game are very scarce, and the gold coin consumption for ordinary players to buy potions and repair equipment is very high. Some RMB players also have the need to buy equipment. However, the gold coin trading system has not been opened, leading to underground black markets and game merchants making huge profits. Players are complaining, and does the 'Sky' company have no plans to open a direct exchange between game coins and real money?"

"Gold coin exchange cannot be opened just like that, as it might impact the real financial market. It must wait until the exchange rate of game coins is more stable! However, I can promise that the game's gold coin recycling system has fully met our requirements, meaning the day when gold coin prices stabilize is coming soon! When the price is roughly one gold coin to one Chinese yuan, we will work with the national bank and major world banks to open the exchange!"

"Thank you!" This was undoubtedly another exciting piece of news. The opening of gold coin exchange also heralded the rise of RMB players! They could use money to directly buy equipment from the auction house, becoming powerful players. However, ordinary players would also benefit, as they might get lucky and drop an item that earns more than several months of salary! There would be no direct sale of equipment or pets by the company, making it fair for both RMB players and ordinary players.

"Phew... so tired!" At 3 PM, Qinfrost dragged her weary body back to the room where she taught Mufeng. Trying to awaken the possible latent power in a girl who showed no signs of abilities was not an easy task. Even with Baihe's help, she was exhausted.

"Where's Xiaojin?" Mufeng asked curiously. Qinfrost had clearly taken Xiaojin out to try to awaken her abilities, so why did she return alone?

"Xiaojin and I, along with Baihe, tried to awaken the abilities in Xiaojin's body. We used all our strength and succeeded! I didn't expect Xiaojin to have such powerful latent abilities; she's truly a treasure! However, Xiaojin was very tired after the energy burst, so I brought her back to rest."

"That's good." Hearing this, Mufeng finally felt relieved.

"Oops, I forgot to tell you the key points of self-suggestion in front of the mirror!" Qinfrost suddenly remembered that she hadn't told Mufeng how to do it and had left him here!

"I think I did a good job!" Mufeng smiled confidently, as if he was glowing.

"Um... I think you got it wrong..." Seeing Mufeng like this, Qinfrost knew she was in trouble...
