Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 610 "Legend of Blood" Conflagration

On the first day of the open beta of "Legend of Hot Blood", the server crashed several times in succession, and it happened twice just by resetting.

If this is 20 years later, this game and the online game company that represents this game can basically be sentenced to death.

But in 2000, players didn't care about this at all. Although they would also complain about the game's agent, they would also complain about why the game's server was so rubbish.

But no matter how much they scold, it doesn't affect their love for an online game.

No way~ In China these days~ there are too few online games with strong playability.

Most of the early online games lost to graphic online games, but this "Legend of Hot Blood" has allowed domestic gamers to truly appreciate the charm of online games.

Perhaps the money from Shengtong Network was not wasted, and the test situation that day was completely beyond Chen Li's imagination.

This point can be seen from the fact that after Chen Li entered the game, he even had to fight for a deer.

But it’s okay to think about it~ After all, this test only opened one server, but even though the information dissemination in these years is far less developed than later, under Shengtong’s money offensive, thousands of people squeezed in after the server was opened .

It was also the entry of thousands of people that directly led to the first crash of the game server.

It's not that Shengtong Network's servers are so bad that even thousands of people can't bear it, then Shengtong Network will also act as an agent of Hammer Game.

It's just that Shengtong didn't expect so many people to enter the game from the very beginning. When the server was turned on, the information flow that exploded in an instant caught Shengtong Network by surprise.

Fortunately, Shengtong Network just didn't expect this to happen at the beginning, which doesn't mean they weren't ready.

When Shengtong Network reacted, it restarted the server once, and then the game started to operate normally again.

But soon~ "Legend of Hot Blood" had its first major game bug.

When the players of this game first entered the game, they were born in two novice villages in Beach Province.

Since it is Novice Village, the monsters around the village are naturally not too difficult.And compared to the spawn rate of monsters in other places, the refresh rate near Novice Village is generally faster.

After all, the difficulty of the strangeness here is low, and it will be wiped out by the novice players who come in soon after brushing it out.

According to common sense ~ the disappearance of a wave of monsters ~ also means that the next wave of monsters will be refreshed after a period of time.

However, one and a half hours after the start of the game test that day, shortly after Chen Li had just arrived at the office, a bug suddenly appeared in the game, that is, the corpses of the killed monsters were not refreshed.

This also led to a situation where there were fewer monsters that should have been respawned.

And the most frightening thing is that as the corpses of monsters that have not been refreshed in the game increase, normal games can no longer be played near the two Novice Villages.

The characters in the game are directly stuck and can't move~ It can be seen everywhere that they bounce back to the original place after walking three steps.

In addition, when such a situation occurs in the game, the game players will naturally have to scold a few words, so the players' screen text can be seen everywhere in the game.

Then the game was rolled back, and the progress of the entire game was directly rolled back to an hour ago.

And then... the game had problems again.This time it wasn't that he didn't spawn monsters, but that the entire map was filled with monsters all of a sudden. That battle was far more powerful than the monster sieges in the previous life.

And this frequency of spawning monsters directly caused the entire server to crash again, and the official had to restart the server again, and directly reverted to the appearance of the server just started.

That is to say, many players have played for several hours, but after two retracements ~ all players are back on the same starting line.

Regarding this ~ Chen Li is angry and happy!
Angry~ Naturally, it was because of the constant problems with the game. As one of the bosses of the game agent, Chen Li naturally had reason to be angry.

In addition, even as a player~an agent's game is so bad. Player Chen Li can naturally be very angry.

As for being happy~ This is actually a little selfish to say, because he was delayed for a while before, so he fell behind others in the game level.

As a result, now it's time to backtrack, hey~ He and the others stood on the same starting line and started again.

Of course~ Generally speaking, Chen Li's anger is far greater than his happiness.

After all, happiness is only the moment after resetting, but sadness and anger are accompanied by the whole day when the game starts testing.

In fact~ in Chen Li's eyes~ the test of "Legend of Hot Blood" this day can be described as terrible, if the timeline is set back a few years~ Chen Li probably went directly to Shengtong Network Company to start a storm.

But in 2000, this situation was simply unavoidable.

And it makes sense~ Although there were many problems in the test on this day, the test on this day was undoubtedly a success in terms of the results.

Because on the first day of the game's closed beta, the number of people online at the peak of "Legend of Hot Blood" exceeded 8000.

Although this number~ may not even be worthy of lifting shoes compared to those later games with millions of online players, but in 2000, this was actually quite a big achievement.

At the very least~ Chen Li can guarantee that this result is definitely better than the first day test result of the previous life "Legend of Hot Blood", even much better.

You must know that Sheng Da in the previous life had no money to do any publicity. At that time, Chen Qiao almost wiped out his own pockets in order to act as an agent and operate "Legend of Hot Blood".

At that time, the popularity of "Legend of Hot Blood" was almost entirely based on the word-of-mouth during the test period.

In other words, at the very least, in the world after Chen Li's rebirth, "Legend of Hot Blood" surpassed the previous life at the beginning.

As for the next test time, Shengtong Network only needs to solve the operation problems of the game, discover and remedy the game-related loopholes and other problems in a timely manner, and then keep as many players who have entered the game as possible.

Then you can wait to count the money.

It is said that at the peak of "Legend of Blood" in the previous life, it could create more than one million net profits for Shengda Network every day. This figure may not be very impressive in later generations, but at that time. Everyone was scared to death.

We must know that most Internet companies in China did not even know how to make money at that time. Even if someone found a way~ they were still in a state of loss for the time being.

Just when everyone's life was not going well, Chen Qiao's Shengda had reached the achievement of earning one million a day, which made countless people's eyes turn red at that time.

So at that time, all Internet companies with some strength set their sights on the field of online games, such as Wangnan~Jiulang and Sohu, the three major portal websites.

That’s right~ After Shengda’s astonishing achievements in online games, domestic Internet companies almost all rushed to make online games.

But in the end~ In the track of online games, there is only one pig factory that really breaks through the siege.

As for Tengxun at that time, Tengxun was nothing, at most it was a catch-up from behind.

Of course~ Although it is said that there is only one pig factory that has broken through the siege, it does not mean that the Internet companies that went to the online game track to play a circle did not make money.

In fact, almost all the companies that first entered the online game track made money, it was just a matter of more or less.

In addition~ as the competition of online games becomes more and more fierce, many companies have put the company's focus back to the original line of business.

It can be seen from this that the early game market was really hot~ To put it a bit exaggerated, it was just like picking up money.

The reason for this situation is precisely because of the blankness of the domestic online game market in the early days.

Therefore, on the first day of the test of "Legend of Hot Blood", the number of people online on the peak broke through the 8000 mark, which is undoubtedly a very remarkable thing.

And the most amazing thing is... this is only the first day, even though these people may just come in and take a look out of curiosity,

But with the in-depth understanding of game players, more and more game players will definitely like this game.

So the next day ~ as more and more gamers entered the game to experience it, Shengtong Network had to urgently add a server, changing the server from one at the beginning to two.

But soon~ the two servers also became full, so on the fifth day of the game test, Shengtong Network directly opened four servers at once.

And when the time came to the beginning of December. "Legend of Hot Blood", an online game that had just been aroused in China, had already become a phenomenon.

In Internet cafes all over the country~ Whenever a customer enters the store, the first sentence they ask is almost
"Boss~ Do you have the game "Hot Blood Legend" here?"

The reason for this situation is mainly because there are not many Internet cafes that have downloaded the online game "Legend of Hot Blood" at the beginning.

Although at Chen Li's suggestion, Chen Qiao arranged for local pushers to promote it in Internet cafes across the country.

But once the time was too short, it was impossible for those local promoters to promote the game to any Internet cafe.

Secondly, Huaxia is really too big. Although the current Shengtong Network's economic situation is much better than that of Shengda in the previous life, the funds are still not so abundant.

This is why Shengtong Network used game forums for promotion, instead of going to those Internet cafes one by one.

No way~ Time and money are not enough to support Shengtong Network to do this at the beginning.

But as "Legend of Hot Blood" is accepted by more players, the popularity of this game has gradually been fired.

At this time, the Internet cafes that had downloaded the game "Legend of Hot Blood" in a small amount were obviously not enough to deal with the players who liked this game.

However, many Internet cafes these days are actually not large in scale, and small Internet cafes with [-] or [-] computers are actually the mainstream.

But in this way~ when the players want to continue playing this game, they find that the Internet cafe with "Legend of Hot Blood" is already overcrowded.

Almost every computer is played by one person in front of it, but one or more players are watching behind it.

No way~ Those players who couldn't find the machine started running around, looking for those Internet cafes that hadn't become extremely popular because of the game "Legend of Hot Blood".

And as these players ran around, Internet cafes all over the country quickly installed "Legend of Hot Blood".

Some clever Internet cafe owners even directly posted the news that the Internet cafe has "Hot Blood Legend", otherwise, every customer who came in would ask a question. It is really annoying.

In short, even with the personal participation of Chen Li, the butterfly, the online game "Legend of Hot Blood" was not affected by it.

If you really want to talk about it, it was also the time when "Legend of Hot Blood" entered the country~ it was almost eight months earlier than in the previous life.

And also because of Chen Li's interference, the development speed of "Legend of Hot Blood" even far surpassed that of the previous life.

No one else~ Because Chen Li changed the timeline of "Legend of Hot Blood" entering the country, and those competitors who should have entered the game market earlier than "Legend of Hot Blood" have not yet entered the game market.

To put it bluntly ~ because of Chen Li's involvement, not only the strength of Shengtong Network Company, which represents this game, has become stronger, but also the competitors of "Legend of Hot Blood" have become weaker.

In this situation of ebb and flow~ "Legend of Hot Blood" quickly became popular in the domestic game market at a speed far exceeding the previous life.

Even Chen Li, who was tired of playing this game in his previous life, now logs into the game to chop centipedes, pincers, and red and black wild boars in his spare time.

It is worth mentioning that when Chen Li bought low-level skill books in the system store, he unexpectedly found that there were high-level skill books for sale. There were two books for summoning beasts alone, and the other half-moon scimitar~magic shield~raging fire There are also one or more skill books such as swordsmanship.

At first, Chen Li thought it was created by the system, but later Chen Li realized that these skill books were probably created by players fighting wild zombie kings in the zombie cave.

It's just that at this early stage, these skill books above level 28 seem a bit far away for players.

Rather than leaving it in the warehouse to become moldy~ it would be more cost-effective to sell it to a bookstore for some gold coins.

Of course~ at this time, it is naturally impossible for players to understand the value of these books.

Take the Summoning Divine Beast of the Taoist profession as an example. It is said that at the peak of this thing, it was fired for several thousand yuan a copy, which was several thousand yuan at the beginning of the century!
However, Chen Li only heard this news. He recalled that he had seen a summoned beast that was actually traded for 600 yuan a copy.

At that time, he was a classmate of Chen Li, who bought a dog book with his own living expenses, but that guy was not at a loss. It is said that later, this guy became successful in the game by relying on the skill book of summoning beasts. They sold equipment for thousands of dollars.

This is the data that Chen Li has clearly understood. Although it is nothing compared to the hundreds of thousands or even millions of pieces of equipment in some online games later, at the beginning of the century, it would be even 600 yuan to buy a game. The skill book in the book is definitely something incredible.

But now, Chen Li directly bought the advanced skill book sold by other players in the store. I have to say, this is actually an advantage of rebirth!

At that time, Chen Li even felt that even if he had no system in his life, he didn't even have any great prospects.
It is estimated that just relying on the foresight in some games, at least you can live comfortably!
