Fei Xiaodong, who was once obsessed with "The War of Gods and Demons", was already in his second year of high school at this time, and he had already abandoned the pit for more than two months.

The first is that the Internet speed is too stuck, and it is uncomfortable to play; second, the cousin has also abandoned the pit, and no one takes him to play; third, there was a bug some time ago, and the game was directly rolled back for 72 hours, which made Fei Xiaodong's two all-night battles come to naught. At that time, it happened that the end of the semester was approaching, and Fei Xiaodong made up for the courses he had missed, and when the exam was over, he actually lost his thoughts about "The War of Gods and Demons".

"Xiaodong, what do you think this is?" Chen Zhuo in the front row held a copy of "Computer World" in his hand.

Fei Xiaodong leaned on the desk and said, "Magazine, what's wrong?"

Chen Zhuo turned to the last page of the magazine, and there was a CD attached: "Buy the magazine and get the CD, the client installation disk of "Legend". ”

Fei Xiaodong said: "New game?"

"That's right, Excalibur Networks' game. Chen Zhuo said.

Fei Xiaodong said: "Why is the name of this company a little familiar?"

Chen Zhuo flipped through the magazine and said: "There is an introduction in the magazine that this company was formed by Song Weiyang who acquired Zulong Studio and recruited a group of teams from Xishanju, and Zulong Studio is the one who developed "Freedom and Glory". ”

"I've played Freedom and Glory, and it's pretty fun. Fei Xiaodong was immediately interested.

Chen Zhuo smiled: "Why don't you go to my house tonight to play for a while?"

"Okay. Fei Xiaodong said.

Chen Zhuo belongs to the first batch of rich second generation since the reform and opening up, his father has money and becomes bad to raise a junior, and finally his parents divorced and set up another family, and both of them have children. Chen Zhuo quarreled with his stepmother for three days, and his grandparents couldn't get along with that stepmother, which made his father depressed, and finally simply bought another house and moved out, Chen Zhuo has lived with his grandparents since junior high school.

After school in the afternoon, Fei Xiaodong went straight to Chen Zhuo's house, and lied and called back, telling his parents that he was going to have a reunion with his classmates tonight.

After having dinner with Chen Zhuo's grandparents, the two high school students couldn't wait to come to the computer, and the game was installed as early as the meal.

When registering an account, Chen Zhuo was a little dumbfounded: "Why do you still need an ID number?"

Fei Xiaodong was a little short-sighted, and leaned close to the display screen and read small characters: "In order to protect the physical and mental health of minors, please enter your ID number for verification." If you don't pass the verification, you will only have six hours of game time per day, and if you exceed six hours, you will not be able to earn experience, gold and other benefits for the rest of the time to fight monsters and do tasks. ”

"It's a big move!" Chen Zhuo muttered and scratched his head, "I haven't applied for an ID card yet." ”

Fei Xiaodong said: "There is an ID number in the household registration book. ”

"That's right!"

Chen Zhuo immediately went to look for it, and soon he said depressedly: "It seems that I have four months to turn 18 years old." ”

Fei Xiaodong turned the household registration book back to the head of household page: "Use your grandfather's ID number." ”

Chen Zhuo gave a thumbs up: "You are still smart, and you deserve to be a top student." ”

The "extra move" that the two high school students complained about was specifically ordered by Song Weiyang. Even, he also set up a "server-side team" in Shenjian Company, with a scale of 10 people, who are responsible for solving various problems on the server side, and the identity authentication system is just one of them.

After Chen Zhuo created the character, he clicked to enter, and suddenly a white screen appeared with a few lines of text: "Resist bad games, refuse pirated games." Pay attention to self-protection and beware of being deceived. Moderate games are good for the brain, and addiction to games hurts the body. Organize your time wisely and enjoy a healthy life. ”

Fei Xiaodong couldn't help but say: "This is the online version of smoking is harmful to health?"

"When the watch also set up the archway. Chen Zhuo said.

It's no wonder that two high school students complained, but there are not so many regulations these days. In a few years, all games will have to verify their identity and will have to stick these lines of prompts.

Now, it is still in the era of barbarism, and the state has just begun to legislate on the Internet, and it has not paid attention to online games at all.

"Fuck, this game screen is okay!" Chen Zhuo suddenly exclaimed.

Fei Xiaodong watched Chen Zhuo play for a while, and commented: "The gameplay is a bit similar to "Gods and Demons", but the picture is indeed more beautiful, and the music is comfortable to listen to." ”

In fact, "Legend" is more crude and simple than "Gods and Demons", and there is novice equipment directly in the package, so there is no need to find NPCs everywhere to take tasks and get props. In other words, the task is completely a decoration, just go out and cut monsters - anyway, the task reward is not to mention, with that little time to run back and forth, it is better to cut a few more wild monsters.

Fei Xiaodong sat next to him and observed for a moment, and suddenly said, "Borrow your mobile phone to use it." ”

Chen Zhuo was having a good time, and he didn't look back and said, "Take it yourself." ”

Fei Xiaodong called his cousin on his mobile phone: "Cousin, a new game called "Legend" has just been released, you may be able to pull your boss to play together." ”

"Okay, I'll go out to dinner with the boss, and I'll talk about it later. Hang up. The cousin cut it off directly.

My cousin used to just do a small business to make ends meet, but he actually hugged his thighs in "Gods and Demons", and his union president was a local boss. Although they have all abandoned the pit now, my cousin is following the boss in reality, following the business of eating some leftovers, and others leak out more than he used to earn.

Shenghai, inside a high-end hotel.

The soil boss does not look dirty, but Biao. This man was sturdy and short, with a large gold chain on his chest, a crooked character for "ninja" tattooed on his left wrist, and a fairly beautiful scorpion tattooed on his right arm. With this image, after more than ten years, going out for a night walk will definitely be checked for ID cards.

The people at today's party are very mixed, but they are all the backbone of the trade union in "The War of Gods and Demons".

Due to the previous BUG rollback event, coupled with the fact that the game is getting more and more complicated and boring, the soil boss directly abandoned the pit. Recently, I have played again a few times, and as soon as I was interested, I simply convened an offline gathering of trade union members, as long as I was willing to come to eat together, the accommodation and travel expenses were all covered by the local boss.

But the image of this old man is too scary, and there is a college student who is directly frightened, sitting at the dinner table like a quail and not daring to speak.

The boss seemed to see that a few brothers were afraid of him, and rubbed his fingers and laughed happily: "Don't treat me as a bad person, I'm doing business seriously now, the regional partner of the Shenghai branch of Xifeng Company!"

When the college student heard that it was Xifeng Company, he suddenly felt less afraid, and asked curiously, "What did the president do before?"

The local boss said with emotion: "In the past, I mixed with the society, and I followed Boss Yuan at the train station to resell some pirated CDs and books. Later, Boss Yuan followed Xifeng to do business, and he could successfully go ashore, but he didn't turn his brain, and he couldn't let go of the business at the train station, so he was sentenced to seven years when he grabbed land with others. I'm lucky that I didn't go that time, and now I'm doing my job. Let me tell you, I am not only a partner of Xifeng now, but also a second-level agent of several beverages. Don't be afraid of me, for I will not do anything that is lawless. ”

A white-collar guy at the table, who was obviously more proficient, got up with a smile and said, "The prodigal son will not change the money, come, we will give the president a drink." I wish the president a wide range of financial resources and all his wishes come true!"

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" the soil boss rolled up his sleeves and drank it all with his wine glass.

My cousin hung up the phone, came back and said with a smile, "President, my cousin just informed me that there is a new game that is very fun, called Legendary. ”

Boss Tu looked at the time: "Okay, don't get drunk today, go to the Internet café to play a new game." If the new game is not fun, then go to "Gods and Demons" to play team battles, and I will cover all the costs!"

"The president is bold!" everyone hurriedly patted their ass.

More than a dozen guys were slightly drunk and half-drunk, and went out and got into two business vans directly, just looking at the appearance of the leading guy, it was like going to a group fight.

When I came to an Internet café with 1M broadband installed, the local boss took out a few red tickets and asked the network administrator: "How many machines are there?"

The webmaster looked at the small notebook and said, "It's full." There are still 16 minutes left on the 4th machine, and half an hour left on the 17th to get off the plane. ”

The local boss didn't care so much at all, took out a stack of tickets and said: "Whoever gives up his seat, I will pay for his Internet fee, and charge him another 50 yuan!"

This kind of good thing is a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence, and Hula stood up twenty or thirty times in an instant.

The soil boss directly chose one of the rows next to each other, and a few of them were reluctant to get off the plane, and he was also transferred to other machines to surf the Internet.

In the entire Internet café, most people are chatting about QQ and chatting room forums. Especially those girls, almost all of them are open QQ and Renren (alumni directory), chatting and stealing vegetables can pass the whole night.

There are also a small number of people who are playing "Millennium", "War of Gods and Demons" and "Stone Age", and behind each person who plays the game, there are an average of five or six people standing to watch the excitement.

When Boss Tu first started playing "Legend", it also felt a bit like "Gods and Demons". But soon he found out that he didn't need to look for NPCs everywhere, he didn't need to get quests everywhere, he picked up a wooden sword and went to cut monsters in a group.

Because the publicity and promotion are very powerful, and only one server is opened for the time being, after nine o'clock in the evening, there are more people than strangers.

"President, someone's fighting the boss!" shouted the college student.

Boss Tu was surprised: "There is a boss so early?"

The college student said: "It's a little boss in the wild, and it looks like an ordinary monster, and I clicked on it and found out that it was the 'Scarecrow King'." ”

"Coordinates!" shouted the soil boss, "brothers, the thief is robbing the monster." ”

A group of people quickly rushed over, but found that there were a lot of monster robbers, and the soil boss directly ordered to kill first. These guys cut people when they see them, and they cooperate with each other, and they quickly occupy the small boss in the wild.

", big bang!"

"Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers!"

The 8*8 area is full of explosive items, which instantly makes nearby players red-eyed and desperately rush over to squat in the pit.

The anomalous slaughter set off again, and someone shouted: "President, I grabbed a tripwire, the name of the item is purple special prop, you can take it to grab the mount!"

"President, I picked up a Lingfeng Sword, and the item name is blue. Fuck, I was killed, Ling Feng exploded. ”

“……”

After a scuffle and slashing, the soil boss didn't know how many people he had killed, and he directly became a red name. When he was resurrected again, he found himself on another map, the minimap showing the name of the place as "Valley of the Wicked".

The earth boss was dizzy and ran around, and found that there was no one here, but there were wild monsters everywhere nearby, and he suddenly shouted: "Come to me here to fight monsters and upgrade!"

"Where are you, President?"

"How do you get to the Valley of the Wicked?"

"The president is really awesome, and he found a new map at level 4. ”

“……”

The soil boss was about to cry, he ran for a long time and found that there were no NPCs here, not even warehouses, and some were just dense wild monsters.

It wasn't until the next day, that Boss Tu had risen to level 14, and he finally figured out what the map was about. Only after the Red Name Murderer dies, you can automatically enter here, and you can't get out after entering, because the further you go, the higher the level of the monster, so don't even think about crossing the map on foot at this time.

After three days in the Valley of the Wicked, the soil boss finally became white, but he still couldn't get out. A week later, the local boss was almost desperate, and ordered all the brothers to kill him and die to accompany him. Then after two more days, they finally found an NPC under a tree, and they could teleport to a normal map with a white name......

The promotion of Internet cafes for "Legend" is still in progress, first in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, then in second- and third-tier cities, and it was not until two months later that it slowly spread to smaller cities.

Due to the free to play during the open beta period, coupled with the strong promotion of Internet cafes, "Legend" quickly swept the country.

The industry is dumbfounded, because this game is very empty and garbage except for the graphics, and I don't understand why so many people like it. In just a month and a half, the number of concurrent online users exceeded 150,000 and began to grow wildly, and by the end of the three-month open beta, the number of concurrent online users was close to 1 million - more than the players of other games combined.

Regardless of whether the outside world praises or disparages, the first topic set off by "Legend" is actually related to the 911 incident.

In fact, a certain newspaper did not publish "Tonight, We Are All Americans" on the day of 911, which is purely a rumor that is getting more and more evil.

This article is just a heartfelt letter written by the public to American dads, and it was posted on the Internet to solicit signatures, and the title is not this, but the letter contains such words. Hundreds of filial sons ran to sign before and after, which instantly aroused the disgust of the whole network, and finally even spread to the real media - a newspaper reprinted the original article.

And some netizens who are not used to watching it directly wrote an article in reply - "Tonight, we are all playing legends".

It's really not Song Weiyang's doing, it's too easy to fall into the truth. But who made "Legend" choose the 911 public beta, and it was extremely popular, so it was ridiculed and ridiculed by netizens.

In fact, in the original time and space, Shanda also started the closed beta test of "Legend" on September 11......
