Chapter Twenty-Nine: Heaven and Earth Storm
It has been a month since Xiao Yuqing returned to Yanjing, and the time has entered the middle of January 2014, and there are still more than ten days before the Spring Festival, a traditional Chinese festival.
Shen Bing had also recovered from his injuries and been discharged from the hospital half a month ago, and now he and Wu Qian lived in the house prepared for them by Li Haoyu, and Xiao Yuqing also lived here for a few days.
The mythical company has also moved into a new office location, a Grade A office building in the bustling downtown area of the mountain city, a total of two floors, except for the first floor is determined to be used to place game servers, the others are mostly concentrated on the second floor.
People who are interested in coming to work in the company have also rushed to the mountain city, and after the inspection, many people have signed labor contracts and officially become a member of the company. Only Wang Lingwei can't come to Shancheng to officially join until after the Spring Festival.
During this period of time, the two games about the mythical company are still being discussed by players, and there are players who specially set up a bar for the sword of Lingyun and the mythical company in Baidu Tieba, and now the two bars have more than 100,000 players, and they can be regarded as large-scale stickers in the post bar.
The web game Tiandi Fengyun started testing half a month ago, and many players and white-collar workers settled in this web game. According to the reaction to the test, most of the players applauded, and there were a few players who disagreed, but they all thought that the game was quite perfect and there was no need to continue testing. Therefore, after a short period of half a month of testing, the game of Heaven and Earth began its official public beta today, becoming the first browser game that players unanimously requested to start the public beta and the shortest test time.
"Deng Bin, are you ready?" Li Haoyu stood in the computer room and looked at Deng Bin with an excited face.
Deng Bin, male, 28 years old, graduated from Huaqing University, before coming to the mythical company, he was of course the leader of a technical team in Langang Company. The commissioning and installation of the server unit recently purchased by Shinhwa Company was completed by him and several employees of the technical department.
"Chairman, don't worry, everything is ready, just wait five minutes for the official public beta." Deng Bin stared at the screen tightly, the current time is 9:55 a.m. on January 14, 2014, and the countdown is flowing every second, and it will soon be time for the official public beta.
Li Yayan and all the employees of the company are gathered in the computer room, wanting to witness the official public beta of the first product of the mythical company, but fortunately, there are only more than 20 people in the current mythical company, and it is not too crowded to crowd in the computer room.
Ten seconds after the countdown entered the last ten seconds, Deng Bin pointed to the enter key on the keyboard and said, "Chairman, you should press this key." ”
Li Haoyu took a deep breath, nodded, came to the computer, and decisively pressed the enter key when the countdown reached the last second.
"The data is fine!"
"The server is working well!"
Several staff members of the technical department kept reporting groups of data, nervously operating on the computer, and Deng Bin was also staring at the computer screen, monitoring whether there was any abnormality.
After about ten minutes, Deng Bin said with a happy face: "Chairman, Mr. Li, the world has been on service for 10 minutes, and there are already more than 45,000 players!" Each of the 10 districts we opened is almost half full, and one or two districts are already full, and you need to queue up to enter the game! ”
Li Haoyu's hanging heart finally let go, this kind of achievement is already very good among the many web games in China now, and this is only a matter of ten minutes after the service is opened.
"Chairman, congratulations, your first product is a big hit!" Li Yayan's pretty face showed a smile and said playfully.
"Chairman, I'm going to have a treat today!" The others all coaxed, they have been with Li Haoyu for more than half a month, and now they have become very familiar, and most of them are young people, and there is no generation gap.
Li Haoyu was also very excited, he clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to stop, and said loudly: "I still have to work hard for everyone today, eat a takeout meal first, and I will pay for the takeout." Tonight, except for those who stayed behind, I invite everyone to Shangri-La Hotel for a big meal! ”
"Good! The chairman is wise and martial, and dominates the rivers and lakes! ”
I don't know who shouted so loudly, and the other people also followed suit, and the computer room became very lively.
Li Haoyu couldn't smile bitterly, he didn't want to be undefeated in the East that dominated the rivers and lakes.
"Chairman, it's not fair!" A girl in her early twenties, with a round face and eyes, shouted aggrievedly.
Li Haoyu said with a smile: "Ye Fei, if you feel any grievances, say it, and I will call the shots for you!" "This girl Li Haoyu knows, her name is Ye Fei, a senior at Southwest University, currently interning at Mythical Company, and is a customer service under Xu Xin's customer service department.
Ye Fei snorted angrily and said: "Chairman, you took them all to Shangri-La Mountain to eat and drink, then what should we do with these people who stayed in the company, is this unfair!" ”
"That's right, chairman, are the people we left in the company born by our stepmother?" Another employee of the technical department also shouted, and a few other people also shouted one after another, they should be the ones who were arranged to stay behind tonight.
"Be quiet, everyone, be quiet!" Li Haoyu said loudly: "I haven't finished speaking, you are starting to say what is unfair, I announce that the bonuses of the people on duty tonight will be increased by 50% this month, and in addition, I will also bring you Shangri-La supper at night!" He paused and said, "Tomorrow, I will invite everyone to have dinner together in the company, and everyone will come together." ”
No one said anything now, 50% of the bonus is about three or four hundred yuan, and other people go to the Shangri-La Hotel for a meal, so there is no question of whether to suffer or not.
As the minutes passed, the game's data kept coming out.
"Chairman, the number of people online at the same time has exceeded 50,000 after an hour, and all district servers have been full. There are at least tens of thousands of people still queuing, should we take out the spare server and add a few more areas? Deng Bin said excitedly.
Li Haoyu thought about it, after all, it was just opened, and there was no crash problem in the operation of the server for the time being, and there should be no problem with using a spare server, so he nodded and said: "Yes, but after you use the spare server, you have to contact the server manufacturer to order a new server again, not too much, enough for the operation of the world." "In the future, after the Lingyun-level game servers come out, these servers will have to be eliminated, so I don't know what to do with it in the future if I buy too much, so I just buy less.
At this time, the game forum on the Internet is in full swing discussing the game of Heaven and Earth, and the numbers just said by Mythical on the official website and official Weibo are too amazing. Within 10 minutes of the opening of the server, there were 45,000 people online, and within an hour, the server was all full, and there were more than 10,000 people queuing up to enter the game.
This kind of data was barely acceptable a few years ago, after all, the number of online users of QQ Farm was as high as millions at that time, and everyone was still very novel about the emerging game carrier of web games, and there were more people who played. However, in addition to the emergence of all kinds of browser games, the majority of players have also become tired of this kind of homogeneous web games, and people who play browser games rarely play in a game for more than three months.
The fact that this web game was so popular when it was launched was really unexpected by many people, and they all began to wonder, what kind of game can make so many people interested?
At this time, the mythical company happened to open five new servers, and they swarmed into the game of heaven and earth, and they were fascinated by this game as soon as they entered the game. Heaven and Earth Fengyun is different from other browser games,Its graphics are more exquisite,Even not inferior to some of the current end games under the banner of masterpieces,In addition, this game is more durable,And all kinds of treasures in the mall are quite cheap,And in the most conspicuous position it is written,"The props in the mall will never increase in price,And the price of new props in the future will not exceed the highest price of the props in the mall,Welcome to supervise。 ”
This makes the majority of our players ecstatic, you must know that the current free games, whether they are terminal games or web games or even mobile games, they are also cheaper when they open new games. But as time goes by, players slowly find that the props in the game store they play are getting more and more expensive, and the speed of updating the props in the mall is getting faster and faster.
Players jokingly call the game manufacturer "boiling frogs in warm water", boiling the frogs in the pot to death and changing the pot to continue to cook the next batch of frogs, just like cutting leeks, cutting stubble after stubble!
Anyway, in China, there are many such frogs, and they are not afraid that no one will jump into the pot to let them cook.
Therefore, most of the domestic games in China today are "déjà vu", and senior gamers basically don't play this kind of game, because this game is almost exactly the same as a game tested before in terms of screen and gameplay, and what has changed is the name of the game.
The reason why this game can rise to prominence is largely because players are tired of the cookie-cutter settings and graphics of current browser games, and they have a sense of novelty in this game.
"Chairman, Mr. Li, now there are more than 300,000 registered players in Tiandi Fengyun, 75,000 online players at the same time, and more than 6,000 paid players, with an income of about 150,000, great joy!"
A day passed, and Deng Bin ran to Li Haoyu with the latest game data, and he was so excited that he couldn't help himself.
Li Haoyu nodded slowly, this result was within his expectations.
Although Li Yayan had already guessed that the game would be a big hit, she didn't expect this game to be so popular, with an income of 150,000 yuan in just about eight hours on the first day.
