"Hello game fans in front of the screen, I am Melia, a special correspondent of Coldplay.com, who sent you the freshest game information report on the virtual community of the official website of Legend of the Star Sword." A bewitching and sexy beautiful reporter stood in front of the screen and reported loudly with excitement on her face. I saw that the huge light screen behind her was playing the picture of thousands of starships galloping and fighting fiercely in the vast starry sky, and whenever a battleship was unfortunately hit by a bullet and had a tragic explosion, the roaring sound generated would always attract the crazy roars of countless fanatical game fans in the virtual square, and the deafening ghost crying wolf howl had to make the female reporter cover her ears in embarrassment to continue reporting.

"Now, it's 12:09 p.m. on August 5. You can see the second CG promotional anime of Legend of Star Sword through the big screen behind me. In the loud report of the female reporter Melia, who almost broke out, pillars of light lit up on the virtual square next to her from time to time.

"You can also see a pillar of light lighting up in the square behind me from time to time, which is the newly registered player of Legend of the Star Sword who is logging into the virtual square of the official website. Now," the female reporter glanced back at the top of the big screen, a group of metal numbers [105465] that were constantly being renovated, and turned back and said loudly, "From 12 o'clock Star Sword Legend to the start of the closed beta number grabbing event, more than 100,000 players have registered accounts and participated in this event in just 9 minutes. And now that number is still being refreshed! Mr. Zhao Long, the company that hosted the event, that is, the research and development company of Star Sword Legend, and the CEO and chairman of the game operator, said...... "When I read Zhao Long, the beautiful reporter's face was full of flattery, and her voice was long, and she smiled" This closed beta number grabbing event, Mr. Zhao Long predicts that more than one million registered players will participate in the event! Now let's wait and see! ”

In the closing remarks of the beautiful reporter's loud scream, a dazzling light suddenly bloomed on the big screen, that is, the two fleets that were fighting spread the war to a star on the edge of the battlefield, and the star destroyer cannon on a desperate interstellar mothership accidentally hit the star by mistake, resulting in the star being unfortunately shot and detonated, and the huge energy shock wave ring almost affected the entire starry sky battlefield.

In particular, many players who did not react were directly shocked to the ground by the virtual light wave ring swept by the three-dimensional light curtain and the huge sound generated by the CG soundtrack, and then the entire virtual square instantly boiled. Countless players are letting out hoarse roars, trying to vent their extreme excitement to the fullest.

The warm atmosphere on the virtual square seems to have infected every audience sitting on the screen, and many people are infected by this festive carnival-like atmosphere, even the audience who rarely plays games is also moved at the moment, and they have joined the Star Sword Legend internal beta number grabbing activity.

On the trading platforms of the major virtual networks, the internal beta quota of a Star Sword Legend has been speculated to a sky-high price, even if this quota has not yet reached the time to be released, local tyrants from all walks of life have already thrown money at the price. Many shy guys who were stimulated were directly red-eyed, and they also joined the internal beta number grabbing activity. As long as you can grab a place, as soon as you change hands, it will be the rhythm of getting rich overnight!

Over time, the number of players participating in the closed beta has increased at a geometric rate. By 12:30, there were more than 600,000 players registered online, and Zhao Long's prediction of breaking one million was not at all stressful, completely underestimating the enthusiasm of the players.

At this time, Zhao Long, the directors and game planners of Yigan Company sat in the bright conference room, looking at the black and oppressive fanatical players on the screen wall, and everyone was happy and worried! Naturally, the number of players participating in the closed beta test greatly exceeded the expectations of everyone present. Zhao Long's original million prophecy was just a joke, but he didn't expect that it was really realistic!

And everyone is also worried that the number of players participating is too much, if the internal beta number grabbing activity really exceeds one million people to participate, it is certainly a legend in the online game industry. However, since ancient times, the inferior nature of human beings has never changed, and it is not just an idiom to suffer from inequality. The consequence of choosing one out of a hundred is very likely to attract dissatisfaction and even complaints from the vast majority of people. If someone is trying to stir up trouble and slander it, it is very likely to lead to uncontrollable things.

This is not alarmist, because everyone here has already received some rumors. Those operators and some red-eyed companies that were forced to close down because of the Star Sword Legend fire are like hungry wolves in the wilderness at this moment, as long as the Wyvern Company shows a flaw, it will definitely attract these evil wolves to attack it!

If you can't appease the huge player base that wasn't selected in time, the consequences are unimaginable.

"Let's make a new announcement and increase the number of lucky players to 20,000, 50,000!" Zhao Long gritted his teeth and ordered, which immediately caused a commotion among everyone, most of the people who agreed with it were game planners, and most of the opponents were the directors, and for a while, the two parties who had their own opinions quarreled in the conference room.

"We can't increase the number of players, 50,000 players at the same time will lead to catastrophic damage to the game's natural environment, and when the time comes, it will only reduce the enthusiasm of these players, which is completely drinking to quench thirst!"

"50,000 people is not the limit at all, our planning team has done extreme simulation, and the novice base alone can accommodate 100,000 people online at the same time! You have to figure it out that it's a planet, not a village! ”

"Do you think about how much the virtual resources occupied by the tens of thousands of people will cause the company to lose? Keep in mind that everything in the game is free during the closed beta. 50,000 people can drive consumption is an astronomical amount! ”

"In the end, you are reluctant to pay that little money, don't you know the allusion that you are reluctant to let the child trap the wolf? Now invest more in order to occupy a larger market in the future. ”

"You know a fart, now the company's capital chain is about to break, and I can't fill that hole even if I sell you!"

"Hey, hey, everyone is a colleague, and they all come together for the future of the company, don't bring personal emotions when discussing, reason based on facts, and don't personally attack others."

"Ahh More than 700,000! Suddenly, there was a cry of surprise mixed with panic, which made the noisy conference room instantly audible. Everyone turned their heads to look at Zhao Long, who was sitting in the first place. The screen erupted in cheers again, but at this moment it was particularly harsh.

Zhao Long's face couldn't help twitching so much that his handsome face was a little deformed.

"A new announcement will be made soon!" Zhao Long almost squeezed out a low voice from his throat and roared, "Let's just go crazy, add one more to the new announcement, if the number of players participating in the closed beta really exceeds one million, then we promise to increase the number of lucky players to ...... Lakh!!! ”

The directors and game planners were dumbfounded.

"You think I'm crazy?" Zhao Long calmed down and smiled decadently, "That's because you don't know what's crazier. The only difference from your own virtual community is that there is a badge depicting a red iron fist in the most conspicuous place on the screen, and a set of numbers below the emblem is also tumbling violently [500147] Breaking through the 500,000 mark in an instant!

"This was sent by the partner over there five minutes ago." Zhao Long looked at the stunned crowd, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "At the same time, the high-level officials over there also sent a letter of opinion, asking me if I can increase the number of lucky players together." You also know the urine sex of the high-level over there, and the words are nice to ask, but in fact, they are informing you that they have increased the number of players in the closed beta, so they will only call you out for the sake of cooperation. ”

"We're raising it too!" A silver-haired old man suddenly blushed, slapped the table and yelled, "We can't lose to that side in momentum, we will directly raise 200,000!" ”

Everyone is ashamed! This old man is the vane of the board of directors, one sentence to the top three sentences of the board of directors, just now he held on to it and refused to let go, but now he is excited to support the increase in the number of people.

Zhao Long coughed a few times, and said with a pleasant face, "Don't get excited, Lin Lao, 100,000 people is already the limit of the game base." If there is more, there will be no place to release people. So all it takes is 100,000 people. I believe that there will not be a reckless increase in the number of closed beta players, which is completely destroying the natural environment of the game. What the consequences will be, I believe you all know. ”

"Okay, just listen to Xiaolong! Do you have any other comments? Lin Lao glared and glanced around, and everyone agreed.

Zhao Long smiled bitterly and nodded to signal the secretary to make a new announcement. Soon, two lines of golden system announcements were reflected on the virtual square on the screen!

[In view of the fact that the players who participated in the closed beta number grabbing event have exceeded the company's expectations, in order to respond to the enthusiastic players who support the Legend of Star Sword.] We have temporarily decided to increase the number of lucky beta players to 50,000! 】

[In addition, Mr. Zhao Long, chairman of the company, solemnly promised that as long as the total number of players participating in the event exceeds 1 million, the number of lucky players will increase to 100,000!] 】

Two golden announcements were suspended in the sky above the virtual square, accompanied by various dazzling special effects such as sound and light, for fear that everyone would not be able to see it!

After a brief silence, the lively square erupted into even more crazy cheers, if it was only players participating in this event individually or with friends, then the same thing that almost every player does at this moment is to open their personal friends list, and then call friends to bring in more people, directly pushing the number of participants to 1 million!

All of a sudden, the number of participants on the bulletin board surged again! In just five minutes, it exceeded 800,000 people!

Compared with the previous gloom and gloom, there was a burst of joy in the conference room at this moment.

"Xiaolong, old decay is old after all, and I can't understand the way of this world." Lin Lao was pleased, "The future of the company depends on you." ”

Zhao Long heard the meaning of retreat in Lin Lao's words, and hurriedly kept it with false affection, but in the end, he couldn't resist Lin Lao's insistence, so he had to reluctantly let Lin Lao leave.

"Xiaolong, the old man is leaving, you young people who stay here can't let go of nonsense, you won't come tomorrow, and I don't know if this number can exceed one million. If you really break through later, remember to give the old man a call, so that the old man can be happy. Lin Lao came to the door of the company accompanied by Zhao Long, and looked back and smiled.

"Don't worry, Lin Lao, it's a sure thing to break through one million according to this trend." Zhao Long raised his hand and looked at his watch [12:40], "And in another five minutes, as soon as the trailer is announced, it is estimated that the number of players will skyrocket again." ”

Lin Lao laughed in surprise, patted Zhao Long on the shoulder and left in the car.

At this moment, there are three young people gathered on the periphery of the virtual square, and compared to the excitement of others, these three are squatting on the side in frustration.

"Kitty didn't come, Lin Fatzi went to his cousin's meeting, and Jiahui and Datou were personally poached by Lin Xiao, the president of the Star Guild." A thin young man like a monkey sighed and said, "Brother Tiger, no matter how you go down, the hearts of the people will be scattered, and this team will not be easy to lead." See if you can go for a walk with your big brother."

"Shut up! Monkey! A round-faced young man stopped the young man nicknamed Monkey, and then turned his head to Zhao Hu, who always had a gloomy face, and comforted, "Brother Tiger, the monkey is talking nonsense, don't pay attention to him." Even if the brothers are down, they will not let Brother Tiger fall down to beg others. ”

Zhao Hu hummed lightly, glanced up at the word Zhao Long in the announcement, and lowered his head in silence. The three of them fell silent again, and compared to the cheers of the others, the three of them seemed out of place.

Suddenly, the players next to the three of them became excited and confused, and the crowd crowded to the big screen!
