Ding Xiaolei was a seasoned role-playing game player. Years ago, ever since Tencent released this game called Sword Soul World, its gorgeous graphics, intriguing mechanics, and rich gameplay captivated him.
After a year of grinding through events day and night, he had become one of the top free players in the game.
Their server boasted several big-spending players who long dominated the top of the PK Leaderboards. However, for these free players, this small number of whales was entirely acceptable. As long as their gear and skills were enough to slay bosses and complete storylines, the game experience was already quite satisfying.
On that particular day, he was leveling up in a map. The game had a feature where, at a fixed time every day, a powerful boss would appear on each map. For those big spenders, soloing these bosses was a breeze, but for them, they needed to band together to take them down.
