Previously, Jester planned to use Clement's sales channels to help "GAME" quickly distribute goods at the beginning, after all, Clement Solitaire has good sales channels throughout the United States and the United States.

But he still underestimated the status of Mars Entertainment among many players.

Since the news broke that the demo version of Guild Wars City would be given away with the inaugural issue of GAME, many people have called to ask how to contact GAME Magazine to pre-order the magazine.

The reason for this is simple, as many players ask about GAME at their local bookstore or newsstand.

This did make Adrian a little overjoyed, but he didn't expect that before the official release, the inaugural issue of "GAME" had been pre-ordered for 30,000 copies, which is really an incredible number, you know, they are just a new magazine.

So, he was immediately full of confidence in what his boss Jester said about the first issue of 100,000 copies, and he was skeptical before, but now he felt that maybe it might really be possible to sell that number.

Of course, Clement's sales department is not idle, they have been repairing for more than a month, and they are also starting to get busy, under the instructions of the new boss Jester, because the company's new card game has not yet been designed, and they have no task for the time being, they also have to contribute to the promotion of "GAME".

Thanks to their efforts, in addition to the 30,000 copies that were pre-ordered, more than 20,000 copies were also sent out through the sales channels they mastered.

"GAME" is a semi-monthly magazine, and the first issue is scheduled for August 15.

Mike Mowmi is in his third year of high school after the summer vacation, he became a fan of Mars Entertainment when he first played "American Cubes", and he is also a computer master who is well-known in their school, he is not only satisfied that he can only play it in the arcade after he is obsessed with "American Cubes", so he spent a few days referring to the "American Cubes" on the arcade and copying his own version on his computer, although it does not run very smoothly, But it doesn't stop playing.

However, he didn't know at the time that Jester had set up a 45 million easter egg in "American Cubes", so he didn't add this when he was copycating.

Then when he went to school to show off to his classmates, his classmates didn't believe it much, and when he invited his classmates to his home to see his copycat of "American Cubes", his home immediately became the most frequent place for several of his classmates after school.

In the end, Mo Huaimi finally couldn't get bothered and deleted the game he made, to be precise, his copycat.

It also disappointed his classmates because they didn't have any free games to play.

This time, after he heard that Mars Entertainment was going to release a PC game, Mo Huaimi was still very excited, and the demo version of the game would be released with a new game magazine, which was a very novel idea for him.

He'd never seen a magazine that came with a floppy disk for a game.

As a computer enthusiast, Mo Huaimi also often buys a few computer magazines to read, such as "Programmer", he basically buys every issue, such as these computer magazines, there are PC game columns, which often introduce some new games, and will also publish some code of games written by computer enthusiasts themselves.

For example, Mo Huaimi sent the code for his copycat "American Cubes" to several computer magazines, including "The Programmer."

Originally, he just thought it was funny, and he didn't really think that what he wrote would actually be published in the magazine, and in fact it was not, but he still received a reply from the Programmer magazine.

The letter explained several more concise aspects of the code of his copycat "American Cubes" that could be modified, and then said that many employees of their magazine liked his copycat PC version of "American Cubes", but because there was no copyright, they could not publish it, so they could only play in their own magazine.

By the way, I sent Mo Huaimi's half-year "Programmer" magazine as a thank you.

This made Mo Huaimi very excited.

On the morning of the first day of the release of the first issue of "GAME", Mo Huaimi came to the bookstore he often came to early, and the owner of the bookstore was also very familiar with him, and yesterday Mo Huaimi asked the owner of the bookstore if he had "GAME" here, and the bookstore owner told him in a very sure tone that he had ordered 100 copies and would be delivered tomorrow morning.

However, when Mo Huaimi arrived early in the morning, he saw a long queue at the door of this bookstore, which is usually not crowded in the morning, and he only counted it roughly, and there were at least 30 people in line.

"What's going on?"

Mo Huaimi thought as he parked his bicycle on the side of the road and walked briskly towards the bookstore.

Then he saw one of his classmates in the large queue, this classmate of his also likes to play games, and the level of "American Cubes" is very high, much higher than Mo Huaimi, and there is a machine in the arcade near their school, which was once changed to his own name by this classmate of his.

Of course, this classmate of his is also a fan of Mars Entertainment, and his classmate planned to ask him to go with him at the trial meeting in Chicago, but he was delayed by something, so his classmate went by himself.

After coming back, his classmate directly praised Mars Entertainment and Jester Lee as gods, and he said that the four games he played there were simply not inferior to the works of "American Cubes", especially a game called "Snowman Brothers", which shook the eight streets of the same type of "Donkey Kong", which can be called the best game he has ever played.

Mo Huaimi listened very longingly, and he regretted that he didn't go at that time and missed the opportunity to see it.

His classmate had apparently seen him as well, so he beckoned to Mo Huaimi.

"Mike, you're here to buy that new magazine, too?" His classmate smiled and asked Mike Mowymi.

However, Mo Huaimi glanced at his classmate with some surprise, and he had the impression that his classmate did not have the habit of buying computer magazines.

Then Mo Huaimi looked at the long queue again, and suddenly had a bad idea.

These can't all be bought in the future to buy "GAME", right?

Then Mo Huaimi carefully looked at these people in line, and he suddenly found that most of these people were actually some people who often went to the arcade hall to play games like himself, and a few of them were very familiar, and they were all very fond of Mars Entertainment's games without exception.

It was at this time that a delivery pickup truck came from one end of the road and stopped next to the bookstore.

This caught everyone's eye.

A large white man dressed in the yellow overalls of the DHL delivery company stepped out of the car, then slipped out two tight cardboard boxes wrapped in plastic paper from the back of the pickup truck and walked towards the bookstore.

The courier worker was also shocked when he saw the long queue in front of the bookstore, but quickly returned to normal, carrying the two cardboard boxes through the crowd and into the bookstore. Obviously, the owner of the bookstore knew the courier worker, and the two had a brief conversation, and the courier worker obviously had other couriers to deliver, so he said goodbye and left.

The owner of the bookstore looked at the crowd that had already lined up at his place, and he didn't talk nonsense, but directly cut the strapping strips of the box with scissors, tore the plastic paper, and lifted the box, revealing a beautiful magazine cover full of inside.

And the words "GAME" on the cover attracted everyone's attention.

The boss took out a copy of "GAME" printed on full-color coated paper from the box, the magazine was encased in a transparent plastic bag, and a floppy disk with a sticker with the name of the game "Guild Wars City" was attached to the back side of the magazine.

Then, the crowd that was still lined up in an orderly manner and waiting to buy immediately surged.

The owner of the bookstore didn't talk nonsense, he slapped the table directly, waved the "GAME" in his hand with his other hand, and shouted: ""GAME magazine, 22 dollars, in order to buy, there are only 100 copies in total!" ”

Then a young white man in the first line did not hesitate to throw a fifty-dollar bill onto the table, while saying "two, give me two." ”

The second one did not hesitate to shout at the boss: "I also have two copies." ”

Mo Huaimi looked at the first few people at the end of the team to buy several copies, and suddenly felt a little anxious, he counted that he was in the thirty-seven or eighteenth place, if everyone in front of him bought two or three copies, he might not be able to get here, and the magazine would be sold out.

He had already asked the owner of the bookstore yesterday afternoon, and the owner of the bookstore at that time told him that he was not sure how much he could sell, so he only bought a hundred copies.

Therefore, Mo Huaimi did not hesitate to call out the name of his classmate who was lining up in front of him.

His classmates heard someone shouting their names, and saw that it was Mo Huaimi who was constantly waving, and immediately understood what the other party meant, he just smiled and made an OK gesture, signaling Mo Huaimi to rest assured.

Mo Huaimi's classmate was at the front of the entire queue, about thirteen or fourteen, and as the number of people in front continued to decrease, it was about to be his turn.

After a few more minutes, it was finally Mo Huaimi's classmate's turn, and then Mo Huaimi saw that his classmate took out a $100 dollar and bought four copies directly.

Seeing this scene, Mo Huaimi finally breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't need to worry about whether he could buy it.

Seeing that someone bought four copies directly, many people in the back of the queue were also a little angry, and some of them began to scold in a short temper, because these people knew that if they let the people in front of them buy like this, they would have no need to queue up.

Seeing the commotion of the crowd, it also attracted the attention of the bookstore owner, who obviously had something going on, after all, the people who came to buy this magazine were some young people with strong blood, so he looked at the specific number of people in line, and then looked at the number of magazines left, and didn't think much about it, but made a decision in an instant, each person can only sell a maximum of two magazines.

This also calmed down the crowd that had been in a bit of a commotion before.

But this has nothing to do with Mo Huaimi, his classmate shouted his name when he bought the magazine and rode his bicycle to leave, and waved his hand to him, motioning for him to leave together.

Then, Mo Huaimi ran to the side of the road without hesitation, stepped on his bicycle, pedaled a few times, and accelerated towards his classmates.

Mo Huaimi's classmates were obviously waiting for him behind, so they didn't ride fast, and when they saw Mo Huaimi chasing after him, they proudly raised the four thick magazines he still held in his hand.

"How do you buy four copies?" Mo Huaimi asked a little strangely.

"Haha." His classmate first laughed, and then said excitedly, "I'm investing in Mars Entertainment!" You saw that those arcade hall owners were the first to get the goods after pre-ordering Mars Entertainment's arcade machine in advance, which one didn't make a profit, I went to the arcade hall near our school at ten o'clock last night to play "Bubble Bobble" and still need to queue up! ”

"But what does that have to do with you buying four magazines?" Mo Huaimi still didn't understand it.

"It's this!" Mo Huaimi's classmate flipped the magazine in his hand, turned the side of the game floppy disk towards Mo Huaimi, and said in an unquestionable tone, "I believe that Mars Entertainment's first PC game must be as good as the arcade game they made!" In a few days, those who don't buy this "GAME" magazine will definitely pay a lot of money! ”

PS: Mike Mowmi: He actually doesn't need my introduction, because he's so famous, one of the co-founders of Blizzard, and the reason why I set the main character to be a UCLA student at the beginning is because the two founders of Blizzard will enter UCLA to study in '85, and they have booked a little brother.
