(There are changes at the end of the previous chapter, if you are interested, you can watch it back)

With such a huge gap in the number of Battle.net account registrations, the performance gap in offline sales can be imagined.

Sure enough, the strength and heritage of the old game company are not something that can be easily shaken by a new company.

What's more, this game company still has such a good reputation and such a strong appeal, which is really unmatched by Tianxing Games in a short period of time.

The only consolation is that the number of registrations on Battle.net in Huaxia is growing rapidly, while StarCraft's sales and Battle.net cannot be covered for the time being.

The situation is a little not optimistic, but Tianxing Games Company seems to have no other tricks than to wait and see.

After all, everything that can be done has been done.

The rest can only be left to online and offline gamers to judge and choose.

Early the next morning.

Wu Tao woke up in his villa in Irvine, and the air was exceptionally fresh.

Wearing a T-shirt and shorts, Shi Qianxue was frying poached eggs and bacon in the open kitchen.

Since he knew that Wu Tao had a villa here, Shi Qianxue decisively moved here from the hotel.

It's just that yesterday's game release performance was crushed by Blizzard Entertainment all the way, and Shi Qianxue didn't stop thinking about it all night, which made Wu Tao's brain hurt, but she was helpless.

I thought that after a night of rest and adjustment, it should be better or better. Looking at this posture now, Wu Tao couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Didn't sleep well?"

Shi Qianxue snapped the poached egg in the frying pan and turned over, "I haven't slept all night, how can I be like you, heartless, sleeping like a dead pig!"

Wu Tao touched his forehead, he couldn't continue to say this.

In the midst of the silence, a pleasant doorbell rang from the door. Looking out of the window, it was Molly, dressed in a pair of hot pants and a vest, standing outside the door with a box of pizzas.

Wu Tao walked out of the villa lazily, and when Molly saw him, she immediately held up Pizza and signaled, "How about having breakfast together?"

"Come in. Wu Tao waved his hand and turned back to the house.

Seeing that a guest was coming, Shi Qianxue's face finally softened a little.

As soon as Molly entered the door, her face turned gloomy and said, "Congratulations, Wu, you won that bet!"

Wu Tao couldn't help frowning.

Shi Qianxue became extremely excited and said: "Is that a bet about a game company? You said that he won, which means that our game sales performance has improved?"

Wu Tao instinctively felt that something was wrong.

Wen is the first, Wu is the second, this Molly and himself are always competitive, how can they suddenly come over and admit defeat?

What's more, overnight, the game Counter-Strike turned over, which is obviously not realistic.

Thinking about it like this, I looked at Molly's pretty face again, and sure enough, I noticed a hint of a playful smile.

"Yes!" Molly shrugged and raised the newspaper in her hand, "I even brought the newspaper here, I don't believe you can read it yourself!"

Shi Qianxue took the newspaper unconsciously, and was about to hurriedly flip through the report with interest, when Wu Tao suddenly interrupted: "April Fool's Day joke, is it? ”

Molly, who almost succeeded, was disappointed and frustrated after being exposed.

Shi Qianxue looked at the calendar on the wall, today is April 1st, isn't it April Fool's Day?

After exposing Molly's tricks, Wu Tao's voice continued: "But I still advise you, don't be too happy too early in everything." After all, our bet is for two years, and it's still early. ”

"Hmph~" Molly twisted her body and left angrily.

This kind of temperament is really used to being praised.

Looking at Molly's departing back, Shi Qianxue said meaningfully: "People have such a devilish figure, and you are willing to bully like this?

Wu Tao turned around and asked rhetorically without answering, "Don't worry?"

Shi Qianxue opened her arms and said, "Don't say it, being played by this little girl, this girl's mentality has calmed down." Do your best, obey the fate of heaven, until the last moment, this girl can't easily admit defeat. ”

Wu Tao took the newspaper left by Molly, only to see an eye-catching headline on the A5 version: StarCraft dominates on the first day, and Counter-Strike is unattended.

Translated into Chinese, it rhymes.

After breakfast, the two drove to Mountain View.

Although it is not yet time to go to work, Qiu Xiaotian, Li Ming and Jeff have already arrived.

Wu Tao looked at Li Ming and Jeff's shriveled expressions, and couldn't help but wonder: "What's the matter, I didn't sleep well because I was worried about performance?"

Li Ming waved his hand and said, "No, boss." Last night, the number of registrations in the Huaxia region increased too fast, putting a lot of pressure on our Battle.net server, almost causing paralysis. Jeff and I worked overnight to solve this problem with the Huaxia branch, but fortunately it is finally okay now. ”

Wu Tao's heart moved, "How many people have registered in Huaxia?"

"It's already over 50,000!" Jeff said excitedly.

"What about the number of online registrations and offline sales data in Europe and the United States?"

Qiu Xiaotian turned on the computer in front of him, pointed to the above post and said: "We have just updated the data, the number of online registrations of Counter-Strike can exceed 10,000, and the offline game discs have only sold 4,980 sets. It's not comparable to StarCraft's stats. ”

“…… In addition, the number of domestic registrations has skyrocketed, not only can it not bring profits, but we need to spend costs and energy to maintain. This has come and gone, and compared with the sales performance of others, we have lost miserably!"

As soon as the words fell, Shi Qianxue couldn't wait to retort: "We didn't lose!"

It's just that later, her voice is so low that even she feels that she lacks confidence.

Unexpectedly, Wu Tao nodded approvingly, "It's too early to talk about winning or losing." In addition, the skyrocketing number of domestic registrations is not necessarily a bad thing for us. ”

“…… In short, there is an old saying in China that gold will shine sooner or later. Let's continue to work hard to get things done. Trust our efforts to be in vain!"

Everyone else left, but Shi Qianxue left silently: "What other killer tricks do you have, hurry up!"

Wu Tao suddenly cried and laughed, "What else can I do, if I have to do it a long time ago, okay, go to work." ”

Back in front of the computer, Wu Tao habitually opened the forum of gamers.

The popularity of the discussion about the two games on the forum can be said to be directly proportional to the sales performance.

Even if Tianxing Game Company hires a lot of online trolls to build momentum with great fanfare, it can't change this fact.

Especially after StarCraft was just released yesterday, the forum was almost dominated by StarCraft.

Today, Wu Tao glanced at it and found that the discussion about Counter-Strike had picked up and there were more posts.

This is a good sign.

Before you know it, it's time to get off work, and StarCraft's latest sales data: CDs have exceeded 100,000 sets, and the number of Battle.net registrations has reached more than 60,000.

And Counter-Strike's data is still lagging behind: the number of CDs exceeded 20,000, and the number of Battle.net VIP registrations reached about 15,000.

However, the number of free registrations for Battle.net in Huaxia has exceeded the 120,000 mark in one fell swoop, and this number is still rising rapidly......
