Back To 1995

   Chapter 574 Beef and Vegetable Duality

Cameron felt that he had come early enough. There were not a few pedestrians in the streets of Chicago, but there were already dozens of people lining up in front of this small game retail store. .

  America is different from China. Except for concerts, sports competitions, celebrations and other activities, it is usually rare to see it, and there will be so many people lining up.

   Looking at the dozens of people queuing in front of the small game retail store, Cameron saw several game ashes like him, and he could recognize them by looking at their outfits.

Cameron can understand that these game ashes come so early, but in the middle, there are also a few guys with big shoulders and tattoos on their arms. They have a street atmosphere on their bodies. Lun didn't know what the fun was with them.

What Cameron didn't know was that not only in front of this game retail store, but also in front of game stores in big cities such as New York and Los Angeles, there were also many gangs and scalpers who ran out and stocked up in a large number of "Interstellar". Conquest" disc.

After tasting the sweetness of the last "Diablo", the people of these gangs want to repeat their old tricks and sell other things with all their might, but they haven't made a lot of money from reselling the game discs. For the people of these gangs, How to choose can be imagined.

  Cameron is glad that he didn't have to line up today, otherwise the ghost knows if he can buy it today.

Just as he was about to leave and walked towards a big game chain, Cameron only heard those gangsters shouting to Thomas, the owner of the game retail store, "Thomas, all the StarCraft discs, our boss wants It's gone!"

Hearing that these people were going to buy all the game discs, Cameron felt a little bored. When Cameron saw some buyers behind the gang members, they were all angry, but the members of the gang were all angry. Turning around, he showed the tendon on his arm, and gestured to touch a bulging object near his waist. Those who were dissatisfied with these gang members could only leave angrily.

   "Three hundred discs, $19,500!"

The owner of the game retail store, Thomas, doesn't want to offend these people. As long as you give the US knife, who will sell it? There are a lot of game discs released by Xue Leshan in the first week. They can be shipped to all parts of the world and distributed to each game store. The number of discs is basically in the hundreds or thousands. Some big game retailers will receive more discs.

But that was the result of putting game discs on the market completely. Thomas knew that the game agents who supplied him had at least one-third of them, and maybe even half of the discs were kept in their hands, ready to go. Upsell!

   Even the people from the gang can think of things, how can they not think of those "two-way dealers" scalpers and the like.

   "Funk, Thomas, why don't you go grab it, do you want our boss to come and talk to you in person?!"

Several gang members heard that Thomas even dared to ask for 19,000 US dollars for 300 game discs. black.

"This is the price that the agent gave me. I have to pay sixty dollars for the purchase price, and I have to pay the agent, taxes, and store fees. At the price of sixty-five dollars, I don't make any money at all. Even if your boss comes, I will still pay this price!"

  Thomas was not afraid, and followed several gang members to spray each other, and seemed to know the boss of the other party.

The purchase price of Thomas is definitely not 60 dollars. The official price of "StarCraft" is 60 dollars, but Thomas and the others may only have more than 50 dollars when they entered the house from the game agent, or even Probably less than fifty dollars.

Xue Leshan has a lot of benefits for its partners, ensuring that the agents, distributors, game retail stores, salesmen and other personnel in the entire game industry chain that cooperate with Xue Leshan can make money. This is also the game channel dealers, all like The reason why I sell games for Xue Leshan is because I can really earn it!

   But in the face of these gang members, Thomas didn’t want to be soft-hearted, so he only increased the price by five dollars, and he couldn’t make much more. He knew the people of these gangs, but he dared to increase the price by dozens of dollars.

   Looking at Thomas, who was righteous and arrogant, several gang members scolded their mothers, but they didn't pick on them. They bought a game disc at $65, which was expensive, but when they sold it, it was right to increase the price!

   A few gangs got people, got the game disc, and when they passed by Cameron, they asked Cameron with a smile, "Eighty dollars a piece, do you want it?"

Cameron's face was full of helplessness. Does he look like a fat sheep? He slaughtered him so blatantly. When he saw Cameron's rejection, a few people didn't care. In a few days, when the discs on the world run out, I will beg them to sell them!

After watching the scene of the gang grabbing the goods, Cameron did not stop, and went to the largest game retail store in Chicago. He had placed an order on the Snow Mountain online platform before and pre-ordered a set of "Collector's Edition" "StarCraft". ", Xue Leshan Company has distributed the "Collector's Edition StarCraft" to the game retail store, he only needs to take the voucher to get it, which is also a hidden benefit of buying the Collector's Edition.

  Especially after seeing the scene just now, Cameron felt even more that the "collector's edition" StarCraft for a set of 99 dollars seems to be really not a pit.

   Cameron once again saw countless people and a long queue in front of the largest game retail store in Chicago.

This Chicago's largest game retail store also sells records and other products. Cameron has only seen the queue scene when the superstar in the record industry releases a new album. Make people line up!

  Cameron didn't queue up, went directly to another window, reported his order number, extraction code, and signed a collection book, and finally got his "collector's edition" of StarCraft.

Seeing Cameron leaving with StarCraft, many game fans who were still in line cast envious glances at Cameron, and even a few scalpers went straight up and asked Cameron if he sold them. When the asking price reached $120, they left in anger when they saw that Cameron really had no plans to sell.

   On the way, Cameron was a little frightened, for fear that someone would rob him. Cameron felt that now this game disc is Chicago's hard currency.

After going back, it was the same as before. Cameron was going to experience it first, and then go to the forum to mix up the experience. The old buddies in the game forum have always emphasized that if they have not experienced it, they have no right to speak. They have never sprayed the games of unknown people. …

Turn on the computer and insert the game disc, the familiar screen and LOGO appear in front of you, the publisher of Leshan Online Games, the producer of Blizzard Games, and now Blizzard has not released the banner of "Blizzard, it must be a high-quality product", but I don't know why, look After arriving at the Blizzard LOGO, Cameron instinctively had expectations for the game.

In the previous "StarCraft" expansion, Cameron already knew that the game has three major races to choose from. The gameplay of this game is to use a race hero to collect resources on the map, produce troops, and destroy the opponent's All buildings then win.

   doesn't sound difficult, but after Cameron started, the start is quite simple, four farmers plus fifty dollars, and then arrange tasks for these farmers.

Playing and playing, Cameron began to be in a hurry. Even if Blizzard optimized the game experience, it still requires the player to operate every step by himself. Cameron has never encountered this kind of operation. **** games.

The duel between the machine gunners and the ground thorns was decided in three or two strokes. The operation was very good, and there was a one-sided massacre. Cameron couldn't help shouting excitedly. That kind of hearty feeling is really Stimulate the human sensory nerves, if the operation is not good, it is ravaged.

   The repeated jumping between this kind of dish and Niu Bi, even the most stable person, may not be able to hold back, but it makes people addicted. To describe it in one sentence, it is both dishes and fun.

  Cameron never felt that playing a game made him so entangled and scolded his mother from time to time. He felt that the game was really torturous, but after winning, he fell into excitement again.

Rubbing his sore eyes, Cameron felt that because operating the keyboard and mouse was too hard, his hands and arms were a little sore now. Playing a game can make his hands hurt, so does Cameron. See you soon.

He rubbed his wrists and entered the forum. He didn't expect it. On the IGN forum, there were mixed reviews on "StarCraft". Some people hated the game and thought it was too unfriendly to players and the operation was too difficult. They even scolded Blizzard and Xueleshan as liars, and a money-back layman appeared directly, scolding Xueleshan for refunding the money.

   There are also those who shouted "StarCraft" Niu Bi, and posted a thousand-word post, thinking that this is the game he imagined, and life and death depend on the operation!

   There were a lot of scolding battles, and there were also a lot of discussions about game strategies, combinations and tactics. Now there are players who have begun to try the most classic "human sea tactics".

"This is the most playable game I've ever played, it's very difficult to operate, but the tactical playability is the top, and the online team battle on the Xue Leshan online platform is a completely different kind of game. Gaming experience!"

  Cameron saw a well-known game ID on the IGN forum and commented on "StarCraft".

   Before Cameron could think about it, someone suddenly carried the post from the Xue Leshan community to the forum.

   "The Xue Leshan online platform is recruiting professional StarCraft players and has released the game operation video of "professional players"!"

Seeing this post, Cameron was curious and followed the link to the Xue Leshan community. Just like on the IGN forum, there were constant quarrels, and the quarrels were even fiercer, just like he was playing StarCraft. The game's critics scold it, and they can't wait to have a real PK.

After buffering and opening the video, Cameron saw the video. In the first second of the game, this professional player operated four farmers and went to mine four mines. Everyone was a little stupid, and the first thought came into his mind. , you can still play like this, second thought, how can this be manipulated by humans?
