Chapter 365: Open Beta

Nov. 10, 8 a.m.

After nearly a month of promotion, the online game "Honor of Kings", carefully developed by Century Games, was officially tested nationwide.

Different from the previous promotion ideas of "Sou Shen Ji", the promotion of "Glory of Kings" this time is mainly concentrated in major Internet cafes across the country, and online platforms such as Century and Century Game Blogs.

However, the focus of the promotion of "Honor of Kings" is still the Internet café.

In fact, the reason is very simple, as long as there is one person in an Internet café who is playing "Glory of Kings", then almost every regular visitor to this Internet café has the opportunity to see the game "Glory of Kings" in the Internet café.

In addition, the "Honor of Kings" team also flaunts the banner of "free online games" and frantically markets on major online platforms.

You must know that almost all online games at present rely on buying equipment and, the free game "Honor of Kings" was born, which is simply a clear stream in the industry.

After the open beta began, Lin Weidong sat opposite Xu Bo at the tea table in the office.

As usual, as soon as Xu Bo sat down, he began to boil water to make tea.

Lin Weidong looked at Xu Bo with a solemn expression, and asked with interest, "It turns out that you are also nervous?"

Xu Bo said calmly: "Lin Dong, "Glory of Kings" is in public beta today, if you are not nervous, it is a lie, I don't believe it, you are not nervous at all." ”

Lin Weidong smiled and sighed: "To be honest, I'm really nervous this time, after all, tens of millions of dollars have been invested, and it's all money." ”

Xu Bo also nodded: "Yes, this time it's much bigger than the last time, the R&D fee for "Sou Shen Ji" last time was only 10 million, and this time it directly rose to 30 or 40 million, which has increased several times, not including the promotion fee." ”

Without waiting for Lin Weidong to answer, Xu Bo continued: "Lin Dong, if I mess up this time, I may never touch an online game again." ”

Lin Weidong patted Xu Bo's shoulder and said comfortingly: "Don't be nervous, take it easy, I'm not afraid of so much money, what are you afraid of." ”

With that, Lin Weidong threw a root Huazi to Xu Bo and persuaded: "Smoke a cigarette first to calm down, and wait for 10 o'clock and then go over to see the result." ”

Xu Bo took Huazi, then put it in his mouth, didn't say anything, and absentmindedly began to make tea.

After a while, Lin Weidong took a sip of hot tea and asked with interest, "Xu Bo, do you remember the prediction from the last time?"

Xu Bo nodded: "Remember, my last prediction was 60,000 online people at the same time on the first day. ”

Lin Weidong then asked: "What about this time, what do you think?"

Xu Bo pondered for a long time before he said: "I hope there are 80,000, after all, "Glory of Kings" is our original game, unlike "Sou Shen Ji" has such a wide readership. ”

Lin Weidong said with a straight face: "I think it will definitely be able to break through 100,000." ”

Xu Bo didn't expect Lin Weidong to be so confident, his eyes flashed with a strange look, and he asked curiously, "Lin Dong, are you so confident?"

Lin Weidong said bluntly: "That's right, I am full of confidence in our "Glory of Kings", believe me, we will definitely succeed!"

Although Lin Weidong said this, he actually didn't know the bottom in his heart, mainly to cheer himself and Xu Bo up.

After listening to Lin Weidong's words, Xu Bo was in a much better mood, in fact, he himself also had a lot of confidence in "Glory of Kings".

It's just that Xu Bo has too many expectations this time, and he will be even more worried.

After drinking two cups of tea, Xu Bo couldn't sit still, and said to Lin Weidong: "Lin Dong, I'd better go over and take a look, if there is any problem, I can also command." ”

Lin Weidong waved his hand: "Xu Bo, you sit down for me, you are a person who does big things, you should be calm." ”

"What's the use of you in the past now, colleagues from various departments are squatting there, and you can't help if you go to plan a plan. ”

"Besides, many players are just starting to get in touch with the game "Honor of Kings", and it is not certain whether they have started playing it or not. ”

Xu Bo pondered for a moment, as if this was the truth, and then reluctantly sat down.

However, after Xu Bo chatted with Lin Weidong for half an hour, he was really in no mood to continue chatting, so he still found an excuse to slip away.

After Xu Bo left the office, Lin Weidong immediately dialed Chen Liling's phone.

Chen Liling is now the financial director of Century Games, and often goes to the office to find Lin Weidong after finishing work.

Therefore, not long after receiving Lin Weidong's call, Chen Liling rushed over.

Seeing that Lin Weidong's face was not very good, Chen Liling chuckled in her heart, and asked uneasily: "Why is your face so ugly?" Is there something wrong with the game?"

Lin Weidong locked the door behind him, and denied with a smile: "No, I just miss you." ”

When Chen Liling saw Lin Weidong's action of closing the door, she immediately understood what he meant, her face turned red, and she hurriedly persuaded: "Weidong, don't be like this, this is the company, what if someone comes." ”

Although Lin Weidong used to often open a black double row with Liu Limin in the office, he and Chen Liling have never had one.

It's not that Lin Weidong doesn't want to, but because it's inconvenient, Liu Limin and Chen Liling worked in the same company at that time, and they didn't see each other when they looked up.

Lin Weidong said disapprerovingly: "What are you afraid of, my door is locked, who dares to come in?

"But......" Chen Liling stopped talking again, looking embarrassed.

"Okay Liling, don't do it, my door is closed anyway, what's the difference?" Lin Weidong took Chen Liling into his arms.

"Liling, I haven't been to you for so long, don't you want me? ”

In fact, Lin Weidong was mainly nervous and wanted to vent with Chen Liling.

Chen Liling is a daughter's family, and she also needs the comfort of love, how can she not need it? She just didn't expect Lin Weidong to ask her to come to the office for a while.

Thirty minutes later, Chen Liling put on her clothes and pants, got up from the sofa, and went to the bathroom with a blushing face.

Perhaps because of the release of pressure, Lin Weidong was much more relaxed and less nervous.

After cleaning up, Lin Weidong reopened the door of the office.

However, Lin Weidong was really tired, so he sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette to replenish his vitality.

Chen Liling came out of the bathroom and saw Lin Weidong smoking, and frowned, "Weidong, you smoke less, it's not good for your health." ”

Lin Weidong spat out the smoke ring and responded: "Okay, I know, I'll try to smoke less." ”

Chen Liling sighed helplessly, "Then I'll go back to the office first?"

Lin Weidong nodded: "Well, let's go." ”

After Chen Liling went out, Lin Weidong picked up his mobile phone and looked at the time, it was already 9:20.
