The principle of "where the law is not explicitly forbidden, it is permissible" led to a shortcut, and this small program, the legendary auxiliary assistant, directly propelled Xiao Mu to the pinnacle of his life.
At the same time, many plug-ins with similar functions were circulating online.
In China, whenever one person makes a fortune in a certain field, it triggers a trend.
The same applied to game assistants. Legend was so popular that more and more people started hatching their own schemes.
Xiao Li, a veteran game enthusiast, plunged headfirst into Legend the moment it launched.
As one of the first players to enter the game, and a dedicated grinder, Xiao Li found himself at the forefront of Legend's player base.
With the drop of skill books, coupled with Xiao Li's relentless effort of toiling from dawn till dusk, killing monsters and leveling up, his hard work finally paid off.
Xiao Li finally assembled a set of top-tier equipment, becoming a leading expert in his guild. He was usually addressed as "Brother Li" by others in the game.
However, this time, when someone mentioned the Legend auxiliary program, Xiao Li was tempted. If everyone else was using it, and he wasn't, wouldn't all the equipment he painstakingly dropped from monsters be snatched up by others?
Wouldn't he then be reduced to a free monster-killer for others? This was unacceptable. But just as Xiao Li was about to make a purchase, a junior member of the guild shouted.
"Brothers and sisters, I've struck gold! That game assistant program isn't selling for thirty yuan? I actually found it online, a place where you can download it for free. In this situation, with the guild's interests at heart, I'll immediately share the link." A warrior said in the guild chat.
The guild was immediately filled with expressions of gratitude. "Good brother, loyal and righteous! Now we've saved on internet fees."
"This kid can be trusted. He knows not to hoard it all for himself. Let's download it and take a look."
Xiao Li was no exception. Thirty yuan was not a small expense, and any savings were welcome. He still wanted to farm for powerful artifacts to sell and upgrade his gear.
He quickly opened the link and skillfully clicked download. The internet speed in this internet cafe was excellent. It was downloaded in no time.
A smile crept onto Xiao Li's lips. That young warrior was good; he'd bring him along next time they farmed the Corpse King's Hall.
What was his name again? Future Strongest Warrior. A good name. As long as he followed Brother Xiao Li, he would surely be among the future strongest.
The game assistant was launched, and Xiao Li linked his game account. "Heh, this assistant is really good."
Many small functions no longer required manual input. It could automatically pick up equipment and items, and even consume potions. It was truly excellent.
This way, he could multitask and chat with girls. That player, Ice Snow Goddess, he met last time was really great.
She said she greatly admired Brother Xiao Li's character and wanted to witness his prowess. That was easy. As long as she appeared before him, Xiao Li would not hesitate to crush her completely, letting Ice Snow Goddess know what it meant to be like Zhao Zilong of Changshan.
Fighting through seven consecutive rounds on a muddy path was a minor matter.
Just as Xiao Li's smile was at its brightest, the game suddenly disconnected. Xiao Li cursed, "Damn it, I was in the middle of killing monsters and snatching loot, why did it disconnect?"
Disconnections were not uncommon, but he had encountered one. Xiao Li sighed and reopened the game, entered his account and password, and clicked login.
A prompt popped up, stating "Incorrect account or password." Xiao Li's expression changed drastically.
His face pale, he re-entered the details. It still showed "Incorrect account or password." At this moment, someone behind him said, "Brother, were you hacked? They must have changed your password."
Xiao Li was stunned. A verdant green plant!!
This Taoist account was the culmination of Xiao Li's hard work. Those account theft syndicates that caused so much trouble deserved to die a horrible death.
"What should I do now? The equipment I painstakingly gathered..." Xiao Li said, completely at a loss.
"Brother, don't be foolish. Quickly try to recover your account, or your equipment will be stripped bare." someone advised.
Xiao Li frantically opened the official Legend website and looked for account recovery options. Seeing the prompts, he was dumbfounded.
"Please enter your national ID number used during registration!"
Xiao Li was dumbfounded. When he registered, he saw that the official site also required an ID number. At the time, he had laughed and said to others, "This is the first time I've seen a game require an ID number for registration. Fine, I'll just make one up."
He had randomly entered an ID number back then, and he had long forgotten what he had filled in.
"I just made it up randomly. Who knew it would require an ID number?" Xiao Li's face was almost contorted in tears. He couldn't lose his equipment; it was the result of two months of effort and the foundation of his authority in the guild.
"Big brother, don't be sad. There's still the phone number option. If you entered your phone number to receive password recovery codes from the official site, you can directly change your password," a sycophantic advisor suggested from the side.
It had to be said that the service of Tianxing Network Company was top-notch. In terms of accounts alone, they far surpassed Shanda. At the time, they had only been able to give a thumbs-up after seeing Legend's official website's promotional services, exclaiming, "Excellent service, they've anticipated everything players might think of and prepared contingency plans."
Tianxing Network Company truly deserved a resounding praise.
Xiao Li's complexion grew even worse, and his voice was tinged with tears. "I also just randomly made up my phone number."
Everyone in the internet cafe looked at Xiao Li with sympathy. Many had seen Xiao Li's equipment from behind; it was definitely top-tier and worth a good sum. It seemed Xiao Li had invested a lot in Legend.
"Big brother, don't panic. There's still one more option: email recovery. You're not going to tell me you made up your email address too, are you?" the internet cafe owner asked.
Hearing the owner's words was like reading ten years' worth of books. The owner's words were indeed insightful. Xiao Li's head drooped even lower. "I made up the email address too."
The owner rubbed his forehead, defeated by Xiao Li. However, the owner's eyes darted around, "Little brother, let me ask you one more thing, do you still have any recharge cards?"
Unsure of the owner's intention, Xiao Li nodded, "I'm a collector. The Legend recharge cards have various designs, and I've collected most of them."
"That's good. Little brother, quickly call the game customer service and tell them your recharge card numbers. Have them help you recover your password."
Upon hearing the owner's suggestion, Xiao Li eagerly dialed the customer service hotline. This was his last straw, and he couldn't afford to miss it. If he missed it, he wouldn't know what else to do.
The call was quickly connected, and a gentle, pleasant female voice came through: "Hello, this is the Legend Game Customer Service Center. Operator number 018 is at your service. How may I help you?"
