"What's going on?" Li Zetian hurriedly asked.

Bushnell replied, "Hundreds of players protested at the door of the company, saying they couldn't play Counter-Strike and Red Alert because they didn't have an internet connection at home, and that Flamingo discriminated against non-Internet players!"

"That's it......" Li Zetian suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and then said, "You just let them install the Internet at home." ”

"The cost of accessing the Internet is not cheap, and many households naturally do not have Internet service," Bushnell said. Moreover, the previous press conference of the Flamingo company was a bit noisy, and many parents knew that their children were playing games, so they asked them to open the Internet, so they even disagreed!

"This is troublesome!" Li Zetian frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said: "That's it, Bushnell, you immediately let the workers produce 6 ...... of the "Counter-Strike" and "Red Alert" game discs."

When Bushnell heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and couldn't help but interrupt: "Mr. · Li, aren't we launching these two games to develop the Battle.net platform?

Li Zetian smiled: "Hehe, I haven't said whether to play yet, it depends on your urgency." Each game disc is accompanied by a unique game serial number, and players who purchase game discs can activate the game on the Battle.net platform through the game serial number if they are connected to the Internet in the future, and once the game is activated, it will be immediately bound to his Battle.net account, and the game serial number will be invalid and can no longer be used. On the Battle.net platform, you can ask people to change it a little, it's very simple. ”

When Bushnell heard this, he was overjoyed.

“Mr· What's even more rare is that you have come up with such a good solution in such a short period of time, which is really clever and makes me throw myself to the ground!"

"Don't pat me on the back, hurry up and deal with it, so as not to arouse public anger!"

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away!"

After the call, Bushnell immediately came to the gate of the company and looked at the group of troublesome players below with an unchanged face.

"Listen to me, I've called Chronos· Li, he said......"

Bushnell then repeated the method that Li Zetian had told him before, and everyone immediately rejoiced when they heard it.

"Mr. Bushnell, when are we going to get the game discs?"

Someone immediately asked out loud.

"Ten days later!" Bushnell said.

Since it is only available to a subset of players, the production capacity of the Flamingo Factory in a week is sufficient.

At this time, Bushnell added: "At that time, only Flamingo retail stores will sell Counter-Strike and Red Alert game CDs, so I hope you will pay attention." ”

The fans of the game got their own satisfactory answers and gradually dispersed.

……

Counter-Strike has become a global hit, and countless players are discussing it, especially in schools, and the most talked about among students is Counter-Strike! As soon as school is over, students come to play CS at home.

Ten days is a short time, but it's still unbearable for impatient players. For a time, the number of users connected to the Internet in the United States surged!

In the past 10 days, Li Zetian's Sprint company alone has added 45,000 users.

Obviously, as the Battle.net platform gets bigger and bigger, Counter-Strike is getting more and more popular, and more families will open Internet services in the future.

At this time, in the distant Chinese mainland, the Glory chain Internet café was already overcrowded, and business was in shambles! There were always several people standing behind each computer watching others play "Counter-Strike" or "Red Alert". The network speed in Chinese mainland is not very good, and when you enter the battle.net platform, it is slightly stuck. They are usually played against each other within a local area network.

"I've created a host, 5V5 is up, you guys are speeding!"

Not long after, someone in the Internet café shouted and greeted him.

Even if some people responded.

"Okay, I'm here!"

"I'm here too!"

“……”

The Glory chain Internet café is so prosperous that it can't help but make people blush.

Soon, more people are also ready to open Internet cafes.

Li Zetian received news from Lenovo and Mango Computer that thousands of users had called to ask how much a computer in an Internet café would cost.

However, it is also a good thing that there are more Internet cafes, which means that China's Internet is developing rapidly.

Li Zetian also issued an order to the Glory chain Internet café to speed up the establishment of the chain store.

At the same time, Li Zetian also decided to open the Glory chain Internet café to Europe and the United States, although the penetration rate of personal computers in Europe and the United States is very high, and it is not very profitable to open an Internet café, but what Li Zetian wants now is to use the Glory chain Internet café as the basis, and hold game competitions here in the future!

In the future, Honor Internet Cafe will develop into Honor Group and become the organizer of various game competitions around the world!

With money, a competition venue, and influence, Glory Group is up to the task.

Ten days have passed in a blink of an eye.

At this time, the Battle.net platform had 3 million registered users, Counter-Strike had 2.75 million paying users, and Red Alert had 2.4 million paying users, shocking retailers and game developers.

Retailers are in mourning.

The game developers were amazed, as if they saw hope, and the Flamingo Company seemed to have successfully proved this new sales model! For a while, third-party game developers went to the Flamingo Company to discuss cooperation.

At this time, game discs with the game's key number also began to be sold at Flamingo retail stores.

Although pirated copies of Counter-Strike and Red Alert are already available online, there is still a steady stream of users buying game discs. Looking at the long line outside the Flamingo retail store, one can't help but be shocked.

Not far away, the faces of the retailers hiding in the café were as gloomy as water.

"We've all sent people out on the Internet to spread Counter-Strike and Red Alert, so why do so many people go to Flamingo retail stores to buy game discs?" one of them wondered.

Immediately, a person was sent to stop a user who had bought a game disc.

"Hi there, you just bought Counter-Strike at the Flamingo retail store, right?"

"Yes. ”

"But there is already a pirated version of Counter-Strike on the Internet, why do you want to buy it? As far as I know, $100 is not cheap!"

The player chuckled: "I'm afraid you don't go to the Flamingo retail store often, and when you get there, you know that playing a single-player game alone and everyone playing against each other on the Battle.net platform are simply incomparable." The game disc has a serial number on it, which can be used to activate the game on the Battle.net platform. I don't have internet access at home now, but I definitely will in the future. Buy early and buy late, it's better to buy now. As soon as you have the chance, you can also log in to your own Battle.net platform, play Counter-Strike, and accumulate Battle.net points!"

"What are the ??? points of Battle.net?" the man who came to ask was full of surprise.

The player laughed and said, "Hehe, the new feature that the Battle.net platform just launched today. Battle.net points represent your combat effectiveness, and the Battle.net platform will assign corresponding opponents according to your Battle.net points! Playing chess games is interesting when you meet opponents! The initial Battle.net points of "Counter-Strike" are 1000 points, and I heard that players with tens of thousands of Battle.net points can encounter Chronos· Li。 Hehe, he also likes to play "Counter-Strike" very much, and he is currently known to be the number one master, and the sniper rifle used at the press conference is simply amazing!!"[.]
