Volume 1 Chapter 32 of the Upper Stack Bureau, game loopholes and gold bars
Zhang Lanjun took Wu Lei and Xiaofan as interns in the game and program testing department, which can be said to be a wonderful daily work, and the two often engage in some pranks, which makes everyone happy. But fortunately, it is not too much, and they can also make some small suggestions at work, Zhang Lanjun and Qiu Xianlin both feel that these two children are quick thinkers, often have big brains, and will be a good hand at game planning and ideas in the future.
Now the design technology department has also recruited a few newcomers to work with Qiu Xianlin to produce and design web pages, and in terms of web games, not only launched the beginning of "Lianliankan", "Gold Miner", "Escape Room", etc., Lin Yan also planned the idea of "Plants vs. Zombies", which appeared a few years later, so that Qiu Xianlin and several engineers could improve it.
With the increasing number of web games, the 17175 website has been divided into several small web links, the main site is still a game portal, and the development of 17175 small game area, 17175 news area, interactive entertainment channels, membership services, marketing platforms, etc. As of July 20, there are more than 100,000 registered users, and the number of page visits per day has exceeded 200,000. The main user group of 17175 is concentrated between the ages of 19 and 33, with each user browsing more than 10 pages on average and staying for no less than 30 minutes on average, with strong user adhesion. 17175 is an online game, but also a platform for players to communicate and communicate, the rapid rise of 17175 website, for operators, 17175 is the best promotion platform in the industry.
The 17175 platform is becoming more and more popular, and the manpower is constantly recruiting, from the original 10 people to the current 25 people. The number of servers has also been expanded, and the number of servers has increased from 2 to 6.
On July 15, the provincial capital city of NJ held a domestic video game exhibition on a small scale. After Lin Yan arranged the company's affairs, he decided to take a trip to N City, mainly because Lin Yan's World Cup top 4 guessing tickets had not yet been claimed. Now the company is growing rapidly, and there are many places to use money, and after Zhou Tong helped to register in the early stage, he took away the advance capital, and the continuous expansion of the personnel team made the liquidity obviously insufficient.
On this day, Lin Yan said to the outside world that he was attending a video game exhibition, and then went to N City alone.
The video game exhibition in N city is in the International Expo Center of N city, the exhibition hall is very large, but there are not many exhibitors, and domestic video game companies are even rarer. What can be seen are domestic video game equipment and handheld game console agents, most of which are foreign brands such as Panasonic, Sony, and many computer manufacturers.
Most of the visitors are student parties, and most of them are between the ages of 13 and 25. The Chinese game industry started late, and most families don't even have computers, and families with a little better economy just buy a Overlord game console and a handheld PS machine for their children. Lin Yan's original destination was not here, but at the Sports Lottery Center in NJ City, and he came here to take a few photos as a cover. After a hurried turn around the video game exhibition, Lin Yan took a taxi to the NJ Sports Lottery Center to claim the prize.
When passing by a small clothing store, Lin Yan specially bought a set of spring sportswear that was cheap for the season, gray pants, gray top with a one-piece hat. Lin Yan tried it, put on a sports suit, put on a hat and a mask, took a closer look in the fitting room, and put on a big black sunglasses, except for the similar height, Lin Yan didn't even know who the person in the mirror was.
Lin Yan changed into pants and undershirts, held a coat in his hand, and came to the gate of the Sports Lottery Center with a newly bought mask and big sunglasses in his handbag. Put on your jacket, hat, mask and glasses before entering the door, and talk to the staff at the prize redemption desk. The staff of the sports lottery center saw such a dress, and naturally understood that the lucky person who made an appointment to redeem the prize a few days ago came, and it was not strange for them to look fully armed.
After the staff understood the situation, they were very happy to lead Lin Yan to go through the formalities and register Lin Yan's information and the winning numbers of the lottery. After checking the authenticity and checking the information, Lin Yan was finally able to receive the winning check. After going through all the processes, the staff took a few photos with Lin Yan, and then proposed to let Lin Yan donate to do some public welfare.
There was only a first prize in the top 4 of this World Cup, and as a result, 278 first prizes were won nationwide, with a single prize of 142,847 yuan. Although Lin Yan won 20 bets, the total prize was only 2.85 million yuan, and after deducting personal income tax, the amount received was only about 2.28 million yuan.
If it was before, Lin Yan would definitely think it was an astronomical amount, but now that Lin Yan's digital world is booming, there are still many places where funds need to be used, and this money is just the amount of adding a few more sets of servers. In line with the principle of voluntary donations, the staff is not easy to force, although Lin Yan won the lottery is not high, he still donated 80,000 yuan, there is a saying in Huaxia, leave a line to see each other in the future, or rather, luck always has to be a little bit left, not all occupied.
After Lin Yan successfully redeemed the bonus at the XX bank designated by the Sports Lottery Center, the bank informed that it would arrive within about 24 hours. Lin Yan was leaving the bank, the time was already more than 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Yan thought that his mood would not fluctuate greatly, but at the end of the day, he found that he was also sweating profusely, and his relaxed mood suddenly became very tired, but he was full of joy and expectation.
……
The game testing department in the digital world has been in turmoil this afternoon. Qiu Xianlin and Zhang Lanjun took Zhou Qifan and Wu Lei in the afternoon to play a new and improved plug-in program in "Legend", and they were still very happy to play plug-ins and tease players, but Mr. Qiu was naughty, and there were only 1,002,000 gold coins in the package at that time, and then ran to the warehouse to bundle gold bars, and the result was that the number of gold coins in the package could not be zero, and 1,002,000 gold coins returned to the package, but the gold bars had been bundled.
Qiu Xianlin thought it was a card machine, and the machine was malfunctioning, and then tried several times in a row, and found that it was really a gold bar, and the gold coins were also there. I quickly understood that this was a bug, and hurriedly told the news to a few people who were playing the game, so let's try it together. So all afternoon, a couple of guys from the playtesting department were frantically brushing up for gold bars.
When Lin Yan returned to the company at night, it was already more than 8 o'clock in the evening, and several people were still creating small trading gold bars, and then storing them in the warehouse? Lin Yan was very strange at the time, he didn't know, he was shocked when he asked, this Shengda legend was a bug.
Fortunately, this matter has not been publicized yet, otherwise it will soon explode on the Internet. Lin Yan hurriedly suggested to a few people that this bug would spread soon, and Shengda would definitely delete most of the gold bricks and gold bars at that time. The gold bricks in everyone's hands should be sold by contacting the studio as soon as possible.
In addition, recycle equipment at a high price, buy a large amount of equipment above the Zuma level from the market as soon as possible, and sell it again in the future as long as there is a bid to sell all of it. Yu Zihan, Dawei, Chen Zhian and several others are the same, everyone has fully entered the game, and as long as all regional servers have accounts, they will all be opened to operate. On the one hand, they sent people to sell gold bars, and sold them wholesale for 8 yuan a piece (the market price is 10 yuan a piece), and sold as much as they wanted; on the other hand, they vigorously purchased equipment, and as long as it was equipment above the Zuma level, they accepted it at any price in the market.
After a few days of operation, several people worked together to sell more than 20,000 gold bars to major studios, that is to say, the direct income was more than 100,000 RMB, which is not counting the gold coins spent on the acquisition of equipment.
Finally, on the fifth day, the bug was discovered by everyone, and many people were surprised that suddenly so many people had gold bars, and the equipment in the game was sold out. Until countless players crowded into the warehouse to exchange gold bars, after that, Shengda quickly made emergency maintenance, and it was impossible to roll back the game, which would cause greater losses, just delete the large number of gold bars that began to appear three days ago.
Even so, this time Qiu Xianlin found this bug, and he still made a small profit for the digital world, and finally summed it up, just the gold bars sold 180,000 yuan of RMB, as well as equipment stockpiling, as well as gold bars and gold coins that have not been deleted, in short, it is still a lot of money. Of the 180,000 yuan, Lin Yan directly took out 100,000 yuan to give a bonus of 10,000 yuan per person to all employees in the technical testing department, and other people in the company also had a service award of 2,000 yuan.
Lin Yan carefully reviewed the "1002000" incident, and felt that the timing of the appearance of the bug this time was somewhat inconsistent with history, and the bug that should have been a year later actually broke out in advance. These bugs do have an indelible blow to game companies, but "Hot X Legends" will soon have a bigger accident, that is, the legendary source code was leaked in Italy, and it will soon be introduced to China, and the birth of private servers is like a sharp knife inserted into the lifeblood of legendary games.
Lin Yan didn't want to use the bugs of the game to make money at all, but just wanted to get a share of the online game industry through legitimate technical strength.
Just like now, we will create the 17175 website to be an online media and value-added information service provider and platform for gamers and game companies, and develop some domestic games to inject a force into the future Chinese online game industry. But sometimes the wheel of history has too much uncertainty, and it is not up to Lin Yan to choose, but Lin Yan still decides that the general direction remains unchanged, and he intends to come out temporarily, adapt to changes or adapt to changes.
In the past two days, Lin Yan looked at the operation between the studio and the studio, and suddenly felt that the current online trading platform is too backward, if the online transaction is more convenient, the company can earn more. So Lin Yan decided to develop an online trading system as soon as possible, or go directly to Ali Baba's teacher Ma to cooperate. But before that, we must go to Songhu once, whether it is private or public, we must negotiate cooperation with Australia and the United States, and ninety percent of the cooperation that is likely to be reached.
