In a hotel room near the Internet affair, Liu Shanshi was smoking a cigarette, and every sentence of Beijing film spit out of the eunuch's throat was full of happiness and pleasure.

While rubbing Su Feifei's hair in his arms, he squinted at the cigarette in his mouth, and smoked his squinted eyes involuntarily.

"I'm almost done, you go to the train station to buy two tickets tomorrow. We have to go back to Dijing, firstly, you have also started school, and secondly, in the computer room in Zhongzhou City, there is a family that has installed our games, and the small city with a big palm has long been unprofitable. ”

Su Feifei's slender fingers gently pulled the stubble on Liu Shanshi's cheeks, "We also made a lot of money this trip, do you have to plan what to do next?" ”

"Let's go back to Dijing and burn some cracked games, and pick up the best copies of the six that sell. Then I figured we had to find a relationship and set up a studio. I understand that in the future, just by cracking foreign games, we will earn a lot. ”

This is to taste the sweetness of cracking the game, plus the cost of burning discs in Shenjing is much lower than that of Zhongzhou, Liu Shanshi is determined to make a quick amount of money after going back, and then set up his own team step by step.

Su Feifei saw that her boyfriend was bent on making this cracking career bigger and stronger, and creating brilliance.

"I don't know much about you, anyway, don't let me suffer with you." Su Feifei pulled a stubble hard.

Liu Shanshi grinned in pain, but he was not angry. If you want to say that this eunuch's voice really hurts her own woman, she rubbed Su Feifei's shoulder, "I can see it clearly, just talking about game cracking, sinicization, and modification, these three major pieces are very profitable." There is no company of the same type in the domestic market, and we will have an advantage as long as we enter the market. ”

"I thought of a name, so how about using your screen name and calling it the Immortal Bird Forum?"

"I'm ready to change it, this screen name is vulgar." Su Feifei held a strand of hair and wrapped it around her index finger, "It's called 3DMGAME, it's quite technological." ”

When the little couple was resting in the house and looking forward to the future, there was a sudden knock on the door, which shattered the warmth and charm in the room.

Liu Shanshi pushed open the door, but saw the little boss of the computer room with the wind on the Internet, running sweaty and panting at the door.

"Hey, what's the stubble? Is there a problem with the amount of bonus money? If you want to say that you have talked about it before, you won't regret it now. Liu Shanshi looked at the other party, anyway, he was about to leave, the market in Zhongzhou was eaten thoroughly, and his friendship with the little boss of the Internet affairs should almost come to an end, so he was blunt.

"Money is no problem. I'm looking for you for something else. The little boss said anxiously, "One or two sentences are not clear, you come with me, and I will show you something." ”

Don't look at Liu Shanshi's rough appearance, but his mind is probably more delicate than a woman like Su Feifei, and he read a little uneasiness in the eyes of the little boss. And he went out with him.

"What the hell is going on?" After going out, Liu Shanshi asked directly.

"There's a new game on the market, and it's only been two or three days since the computer lab near the tech market is almost all playing. I don't understand it, but I just think it's unusual. ”

"What's new? Why can't you understand it? ”

"This game is a LAN battle, and one is to shoot a gun per person. Because it's a LAN battle, the gameplay is novel, and now no one in the Internet café plays our game, it's all this game. ”

While talking, Liu Shanshi, under the leadership of the little boss, casually found a computer room near the technology market.

After walking in, Liu Shanshi immediately felt some scalp tingling.

There are dozens of computers in total, and the entire computer room is smoky and crowded. Some people come late, and when they don't have a place, they just stand by and stare at the computer screen.

After a few glances, Liu Shanshi recognized it, where is this new game, this is "Half-Life".

Liu Shanshi was very angry, and after asking around, he found out that this game was called "Counter-Strike". He's a very smart guy, and after a few glances, he knows that the game was developed based on the mod for Half-Life, and the reason why so many people play it is because the gameplay is more competitive.

After all, in single-player games, no matter how good the technology is, it is the computer machine that fights against it. But now with the addition of LAN, it is a battle between people, and the competitiveness has been greatly improved.

Liu Shanshi was cheeky, bought one for five hundred oceans, and returned to the Internet to follow the wind, but after the installation was completed, when he looked at the interface for entering the key verification code, Liu Shanshi directly jumped to scold the street.

If it weren't for the fact that the computer belonged to someone else, he would have the urge to smash it.

The little boss on the side of the Internet said worriedly, "There are not many games on the market now, but as long as the computer room is installed, it is basically the same as what we see today, and the seats are full, and we would rather queue up to play." Why do you think this thing is so attractive? ”

Liu Shanshi smoked silently, and his back tooth sockets were about to be crushed by him.

He could predict that all his plans would come to naught with the emergence of this new game.

It's only been a few days, but all the computer rooms with this game are almost full, how popular this game is, he really sees it, I'm afraid it won't take a week for no one in the whole of Zhongzhou to play "Half-Life".

The most important thing is that these game mods have been added with a layer of secret keys, and they can't be cracked in as short a time as before.

"Who did you think invented this?" The little boss muttered.

"Who the fuck can there be, I can't think of anyone else except Qi Ming's girl" In fact, Liu Shanshi doesn't have to think about it at all, he can guess that the first thing that can make a game mod is to have the source code of the main game of "Half-Life", but if he can think of adding a key, he can't think of anyone else except Qi Ming.

Liu Shanshi admits that he is really a little contemptuous, this high school student who does not understand any computer technology.

...

When Liu Shanshi jumped to scold the street, Qi Ming's side had already held a second distribution of spoils, not a dividend meeting.

This time, there was obviously more money on the coffee table than the last time, enough for four people to experience the feeling of a 10,000-yuan household.

Liu Xuqiang gnawed on the watermelon and said with a smile: "Qi Ming, you are really a god!" It's been less than a week to sell so much. ”

"A piece of 500 yuan, we have only sold a little more than 100 yuan. If you continue like this, you'll still go to a fart university. ”

Qi Ming divided all the money into four equal parts and handed them to everyone's hands, "Counting the more than 30,000 yuan before, that is the hard-earned money of real money, and part of Liu Shanshi's bamboo poles." ”

"The money we have in front of us is mainly sold to the small bosses of the computer room, and ordinary people can't come up with so much money to buy a game. I'm not pouring cold water to sweep everyone's interest, the business of the "Counter-Strike" game is over here, after all, cracking the game is not the right way. Going to college is. ”

The most resonant of these words was Fang Wenjin, she felt that the money came too quickly.

Of course, Qi Ming is not thinking about whether the money will come quickly or not, whether it is safe or not.

Not to mention the late 90s, even in the decade after the millennium. Domestic players don't have too deep awareness of genuineness, not to mention that they can't get on the stage for such a small fight.

In the final analysis, cracking the game is not the right way, and if you take another 10,000 steps back, you can crack it yourself, and others can crack it. Before the advent of D encryption, domestic masters cracking a foreign game was like drinking soup.

Besides, the degree of barbarism of primitive accumulation in that era was beyond imagination, and he could be regarded as a sideline ball, and he just made some money by taking the sword, which was not a long-term solution.

As for the secret key, it is just an encryption method, and the threshold for cracking has been raised slightly, even though it is more difficult than hard cracking, but it is not a one-and-done method. It only takes a little more time to crack it.

As for the CS game mod, Qi Ming just took advantage of the fact that foreign countries had just started to develop and took the lead. In other words, if you can do it yourself, others can do it. It is to take advantage of the fact that there is no market yet, and it is a sum of money to be able to make a fortune.

Liu Xuqiang sneered, "I still don't understand this truth?" I'll just talk about it casually, but think about how decent and amazing it is to spend more than 10,000 yuan to report at the university, and I still earn it myself. ”

Zhao Zeming counted the money, and his mouth couldn't close anymore, "So from the beginning, you knew that if you really had to fight hard, we couldn't compete with Liu Shanshi at all." So simply that group of people opened the market for us, and finally when the market matured, all the computer rooms on the market became "Half-Life", and everyone had psychological dependence, and then released "Counter-Strike". ”

"When you sell your product to a customer and come to the door and beg him, maybe they don't look at it properly. But when the market matures, customers will beg you to sell their products. Clever, too clever. Zhao Zeming gave a thumbs up, and this praise was obviously from the heart.

That night, the four of them went to Ben Yuexiu, and they were more cautious than the last time. This time, what Buddha jumped over the wall, Bao Shenyi picked up the most expensive point.

The psychology of getting rich is often crazy consumption, not to mention that they are all young people who have just become adults.

Qi Ming didn't stop Liu Xuqiang from ordering a bottle of Wuliangye, and the three of them were stunned to drink him up, and even Fang Wenjin drank half a cup of beer.

waited until late at night before the song ended, but Qi Ming was not in a hurry to go home.

After taking a taxi and sending the three of them home one by one, I bought a bag of Red River and a bottle of mineral water, and sat on the curb to breathe a sigh of relief.

Twenty years ago, there was no nightlife in Zhongzhou, and there were fewer people on the streets after nine o'clock.

Qi Ming found a phone booth everywhere, and then after sending the IC card inside, he dialed a series of phone numbers.

It rang for a long time before the other party answered the phone.

"Hey, who's coming?" The eunuch of the yin and yang people was impatient and impatient in his voice.

"Boss Liu, I, Qi Ming." After reporting home, I obviously felt that the breath on the other end of the phone had become heavier.

After two seconds, Liu Shanshi held back a sentence: "You are not authentic." ”

"Don't be in a hurry to get angry just yet," Qi Ming said in a calm tone, and hiccuped contentedly.

You say it's not annoying.

"Mr. Liu has actually made a lot of money recently just by buying the six games of "Half-Life", so there is no need to be angry with me as a high school student." Qi Ming poured a sip of mineral water and said.

It could be heard through the phone, Liu Shanshi held back a breath of anger and gasped.

"There are successes and failures in business, if you want to speak quickly, I won't hang up the phone, you just talk into the microphone."

"I'm not that boring." Qi Ming took a puff of his cigarette, and his voice was full of faint smiles, "Is Mr. Liu free tomorrow, I'll arrange it and invite you to dinner." ”

"What else do I have to say to you?"

"Boss Liu, don't refuse me first, let's talk about Counter-Strike, are you interested in buying it?"

After saying this, without waiting for Liu Shanshi to respond, Qi Ming took a puff of his cigarette and stepped on it, "Tomorrow at half past eleven at noon, Beijing-style fried noodles at the gate of No. 7 Middle School, Mr. Liu is a month away from home, and he must be thinking about it, right?" ”
