Event dates: February 2 – February 16
The Lunar New Year is approaching, and a festival has started in Gods of Boom. It’s a content-rich event with tons of neat surprises and generous gifts. Let’s take a look at all the goodies.
The Story
Our story starts with Wang Shu Corporation which officially provides logistic services, but unofficially, it develops new weapons and does wild genetic experiments.
One of these experiments was held in a distant Asian village, where all the people had exceptional strength and agility. The corporation took some villagers to their labs for further studies and simply annihilated all the others.
Among the people they took, one was a small 2-year old boy whom they modified genetically in an attempt to make the perfect soldier. It almost worked too! By using primate genes, the scientists made the boy even faster, stronger, and more agile. However, they did not account for the behavior – the kid grew up to be so mischievous and disobedient that he got the nickname, Monkey King.
He constantly played pranks on his superiors and showed such disregard to protocol and discipline that his superiors had to lock him up in a special cell. This worked fine until Bionic Rebel started fiddled with the corporate servers — the attacks disabled the security protocols, and Monkey King escaped from his prison at the first opportunity.
Trying to blend in, he traveled to Dragon City, where a costumed Lunar Festival was taking place. He’d be safe among the colorful masked people, and maybe could even make a new friend or two…

One of the weapons designed by the Wang Shu Corporation. It’s a good long-distance AR that EXLODES enemies with every 6th hit. Sounds interesting?
