Chapter 125: A Legendary Age
The next day, there was still one day left before the official launch of the game.
A van was parked in front of Lindy's residence.
"Boss, what are so many cards for?" Qian Lai pulled out two cardboard boxes from Lindy's room.
This carton is filled with cards, the size is about the same as the average bank card, don't look at the carton is not big, it is about the same size as A3 paper, but a thousand cards are neatly placed inside, and it does have a bit of weight.
"This is a game point card, a physical one, and immediately let the express delivery to all the New World Internet cafes, and one will send 20,000 first. Lindy herself also held two boxes of point cards and held them to the business car.
At this time, Chu Feng walked past the two of them silently with four boxes, and Han Cheng also held the two boxes after a while, but he looked very struggling, and his face was red.
"Han Cheng, you move less, it's quite heavy. Lindy grabbed a box from Han Cheng's hand with one hand and stacked it in front of him. After all, he was a procedural, and Han Cheng's body still couldn't compare with Chu Feng and Lindi.
Han Cheng stared at the box of point cards in Lin Di's hand, the boss actually grabbed a box with one hand, and it looked effortless, sure enough, the Meike star was awesome.
Of course, Han Cheng won't talk nonsense about the identity of the boss, there are still outsiders here, the uncle who is the boss is silent, and he doesn't know who it is.
"Oh, boss, then I'll move quickly, a few more times. Han Cheng didn't want to be lazy, he lost half of the weight in his hand, and immediately became much more relaxed, so he quickly quickened his pace.
On the phone, Lindy told Qian Lai that he was going to move a lot of things, and Qian Lai was also a lazy guy, so he simply brought Han Cheng and Chu Feng over, Lin Di thought about it, firstly, Han Cheng and Chu Feng had been under him for a long time, and some things also needed to be let them know slowly, and secondly, he estimated that he was about to buy a new house and move, so he didn't say anything.
No way, the time is too tight, 1000 point cards in one box, 11 Internet cafes, 20 boxes each, and 220 boxes.
Not to mention the Z City Game Center, the Internet cafes in other provinces can be delivered by express tomorrow at the earliest, and the slowest is estimated to take three days. This was already later than the start of the server, so Lindy had to send all the points in the morning.
In fact, every Internet cafΓ© has a manager's room.,After the system makes a physical point card.,You can directly send the point card to each manager's room.,It's just that the manager's room that has never been opened suddenly opens by itself.,And there's a new game card that has just come out.,This thing is also a little difficult to explain.,Lindy simply took the most normal way.,Express it.γ
Slow down for a day or two, players have been waiting for so many days anyway.
The four people moved the bricks, except for Han Cheng's strength was a little smaller, the other three were very efficient, the car was full and drove to the express delivery point, just at the gate of the community, and the others first did the box to the door, so with this cooperation, it was finally done at more than eleven o'clock at noon.
"Let's go, let's go to lunch. "Get things done, and Lindy has one less thing in mind. "Everyone has worked hard, and today I have a treat. β
"Boss, we moved bricks all morning, and you can finish the meal?" Qian Lai glanced sideways at Lindy as he drove.
"Mr. Qian, it's rare for the boss to ask us to do something, why do you still take the opportunity to rip off the bamboo. Before Lindy could refute, Han Cheng was the first to stand up.
"Hey, boy, I'm helping all of us for the betterment, who are you helping!" Qian Lai glared at Han Cheng from the rearview mirror.
"Mr. Lin's business is our business, Mr. Lin has been good enough to us, we shouldn't ask for more. Chu Feng, who hadn't spoken much, also spoke for the first time.
"No, Chu Feng, why did you even learn to pat on the back?...... Okay, okay, count me as a cheap person. "Qian Lai doesn't bother to pay attention to these two guys.
Lindy smiled and looked at the deflated money.
After such a chat, Han Cheng, who was still a little restrained, gradually let go.
"Boss, can I ask you a question?"
Lindy was a little scared, this guy wouldn't ask about aliens or not aliens. "What's the problem?"
"Boss, it's not that I'm troublesome, I'm just a little curious, isn't there a virtual point card on the Internet? Why do you still want to engage in a physical point card?" Han Cheng sat in the back of the car and asked, he also heard some of the conversation between Lindy and Qian Lai just now, and he also knew for the first time that this small card was called a physical point card.
Speaking of which, after such a trip today, he knows Lindy better.
This is 10 million for himself as soon as he makes a move, and he is also the behind-the-scenes boss of the two behemoths of New World and Qimeng, and he ends up living in such a small garage, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would definitely not believe it.
The only explanation, I'm afraid, is that this is just a temporary foothold for the boss, after all, the boss is a Namek, and he wants to return to his hometown at any time.
Lin Di breathed a sigh of relief, Han Cheng's question was still relatively normal.
"First, the price of the physical card is the same as the virtual card, but the physical card is a real card after all, and it is beautifully made, with a certain commemorative and collectible value, even if it is a little benefit for players, and secondly, it is also an opportunity to increase the popularity and popularity of the Internet cafΓ©. β
The production cost of the physical card provided by the system is 20 yuan, which is definitely expensive compared to the market price, but this is in the previous records of the system, it is as if it does not need money, especially when seeing the exquisite production of cards, Lindy made 220,000 in one breath.
If the average player sees this card, he must say that the art of the new world has finally shot! The card is indeed very exquisite, the picture is beautiful, the three major professions, the characters of the Taoist war slightly highlight the card surface, the character details are extremely exquisite, each profession has four shapes of cards, two shapes for male and female characters, plus three major bosses, a total of fifteen kinds of card designs, even Lindy saw it, and he couldn't help it, he left one of each card first.
Lindy didn't plan to recover this production cost from the player, he also said before that it was a small benefit for the player, and besides, this physical card was also limited in supply, and the investment was limited.
A few people chatted casually in the car for a while, and ate casually at the small restaurant at the entrance of Lindi Community.
"Chu Feng, have you done anything over there in the game center?" Lin Di held a bowl of rice while picking up vegetables, his question seemed to be brought up casually.
"Mr. Lin, you solved it that night in the past. β
"How will it be solved, and will there be any trouble in the future?"
"Mr. Lin, their boss personally assured me that no one will come to the game center to make trouble again. β
Lindy nodded, "Does his guarantee work?"
"He didn't dare to be useless. Chu Feng only said two words.
It seems that Chu Feng has used some unconventional means, and Lin Di naturally didn't ask any more questions.
After eating, Qian Lai took Han Cheng and Chu Feng away, and Lin Di also wandered back to his rental house.
The next day, at nine o'clock in the morning on Friday, in the Legend section of the New World Game Network, next to the Legend icon, there was an extra row of server opening tables.
Legend as a real online game,There is still a difference between it and other paid download stand-alone games,The server opening table is one of the features,Players can choose the right server according to their own time,After all, multiple people are online at the same time,Level competition is very fierce,Enter the new area early,Although it is not necessarily absolute,But at least not lost at the starting lineγ
It's just that the server opening table of New World is different from the opening table of those online games on Earth, and the legendary server opening table shows that at 7 o'clock in the evening, New World will open 50 zones at the same time.
As soon as the server opening table appeared, the player forum exploded.
"Legends are finally going online! It's so uncomfortable to watch other people play the test server, and now you can finally play. β
"50 districts, that's a lot, it feels like an exaggeration. β
"The server description says that a group of servers can only accommodate a maximum of 20,000 players at the same time, so 50 groups are 1 million, and it seems that it is time to fight for network speed at night. β
"Damn, won't you, there were 16 million posts last time I applied for the test area, so it's hard to wait until the official server is opened, and you still have to fight for Internet speed?"
"Shouldn't the new world open more districts? Or a district with more people. β
"20,000 people on a server is already a lot, I have friends in the testing area, 3,000 people are crowded like dogs. β
3,000 people in one district is not a lot, but the problem is that these players are online for too long, especially after 6 p.m., and it looks like the server is full of people. Setting the maximum online of the server to 20,000 people, Lindy was already a bit empty, but I didn't expect some people to say that they wanted to add more people.
Of course, players will only think about whether they can enter the game or not, and will not think about other issues.
Another problem is the cost of the game, players don't know the charging mode of the game yet, after all, there is no charge setting for the test server, but players see that the game can be downloaded for free, free to play, and they are not too entangled.
This is also a set of the game, first pull people in, play addicted and then tell you to charge, Lindy also knows this, did not release any charge information.
At half past six in the evening, Lindy turned on retinal imaging.
"What are the number of Legends client downloads?"
[As of now, the total number of downloads of New World Legends is 41.22 million.] γ
"Damn, 40 million?" That's more than double the number of players who applied for the test server. Lindy was also shocked when he heard this number, and when he saw it at noon, it was only more than 10 million.
It is estimated that the legend was not officially launched before, and players felt that it didn't matter if they downloaded it or not, but now that the game is officially launched, they started downloading.
"Is the test suit closed?"
[The test suit closes at 18 o'clock.] γ
"Has the assistant's game launch message been pushed to players?"
[Users who have been pushed all and have reached level 6 of the assistant level, as long as they get on the New World Assistant, they can see the information prompt of the legendary opening area for the first time.] γ
"How are the virtual and physical point cards prepared?"
[When the player reaches level 10, the player will be automatically prompted to purchase a point card in the game, the recharge interface has been docked, the player will get a CD-KEY after purchasing the point card, and the recharge will be successful when entered in the game, and the preparation of the physical point card needs to be confirmed by yourself. γ
It seems that Lindy is a little nervous, and the physical point cards are distributed by him to various Internet cafes, and of course they can't be seen in the background of the website.
In terms of physical point cards, seven of the eleven Internet cafes have signed for the goods, and the other four are on the way to be delivered, and the goods will arrive tomorrow at the latest.
"Okay, let's wait for the server. β
The same website has 50 zones at the same time, which is unprecedented on Earth, and it's no wonder that even Lindy is a little nervous.
"With 40 million client downloads, one million users should have no problem entering the game. "Lindy wasn't quite sure.
The previous game, the CS with the best results, didn't have a million downloads just after it was launched.
"Let's wait until seven o'clock. β
At 7 o'clock on Friday night, the 50 regional icons under the New World Legend icon changed from gray to gold at the same time, and the Legend officially launched the server.
In just four minutes, at 19:03:47, all 50 districts were full!
In three minutes and forty-seven seconds, all 1 million players are settled!
The "Flame" area, which is ranked first in the server opening table, is full in eighteen seconds, Lindy takes a look at the game by himself, I'll go, this is much more exaggerated than the test suit!
The screen is full of people.
Before a sika deer that had just refreshed understood what was going on, it was immediately beaten to death by a dozen people, and then a group of people squatted there and touched the corpse.
I guess this deer is desperate enough.
Lao Tzu is just an ordinary wild monster, you can use so many people, it's like fighting a boss.
It can be seen that these players who play Legend for the first time seem to have a little experience, and no one teaches them to know how to touch the corpse and pick up venison.
Lindy thought about it, in fact, it is not surprising, these players watch the live broadcast and watch the live broadcast, go to the forum and go to the forum, they have been preparing for a week, and it is time to know a little.
Lindy went up to each server to take a look, and the basic situation was the same, there were crowds of people, and as soon as the blame was refreshed, he was immediately beaten by the group.
Lindy shook his head, well, he still underestimated the enthusiasm of the players.
"Legend, legend, it's really amazing. The game was so popular that the stone in Lindy's heart fell, and he leaned back in his chair and looked at the screen full of players, this scene has not been seen for a long time.
To paraphrase a forum post from a very lucky player who squeezed into the game.
"So this is the legendary age!"
