A pitch-black supercar slowly drives through the quiet streets of the North City.

The city at night exudes a sense of tranquility.

"Zhao Nuo, can we really do it......" whispered to the girl who was "tied" to the passenger seat with a seat belt.

In the eyes of others, the development process of Hellfire Entertainment can be described as smooth sailing, which can be called synonymous with good luck.

But only Zhao Nuo and Xia Xiaoling knew how much risk they had taken in order to develop such a large-scale sandbox game.

They put all the company's funds with a large amount of external investment and invested all of them in the development process of this game, this time it can be described as "only success, not failure." ”

If you fail, there's no going back!

Because at that time, all dreams and hopes will come to naught.

"Don't worry, no problem." Zhao Nuo stared at the dilapidated street lamp on the street corner in front of him.

"But......" Xia Xiaoling still wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Zhao Nuo:

"There's no need to be nervous now, aren't you confident in our game?"

Although it may seem like an all-or-nothing gamble, "Hell Capital" is undoubtedly worth their nearly a year of hard work.

The quality of this game not only completely crushed other games developed by the company before, but also has the power to fight even if it is compared with the masterpieces in Europe and the United States in the world!

Compared with those big games, what "Hell Capital" lacked before was only popularity.

But after E3 and Gamescom, the popularity of this game has also reached a high level.

Therefore, the reason for Zhao Nuo's insomnia and Xia Xiaoling are completely different things.

It's not that he's "too nervous" to fall asleep, he's just too excited......

Parking at the street corner next to the post office in Beicheng District, opening the car door, the cold night breeze blew in front of them, which made the two people, who were still a little sleepy, suddenly sober up a lot.

"Ah......h

Stepping off the low sports car, Xia Xiaoling raised her head and stared at the brilliant starry sky overhead. Scratching his hair, he spoke:

"I'm relieved to say this, after all, with Zhao Nuo here, there's nothing to be afraid of."

"It's okay, don't set up a flag, thank you."

Zhao Nuo was complaining, but he also showed a slight smile.

――Even if it fails, what does it matter? After all, he and Xia Xiaoling are still young, and there is time to make a comeback, and ......

He didn't think "Hell's Capital" would fail at all.

When it comes to the quality of the game, "Single-player Maniac" couldn't be clearer.

The quality of this game is absolutely world-class!

――――――――

Eight thirty a.m. Celestial Empire time, nineteen:30 p.m. Eastern Time.

There is still half an hour left before the official release of "Hell Capital".

Although the people of Hellfire Entertainment can't see the pre-sale sales of the game for the time being, if they can see the sales, they will probably be relieved.

To date, the total pre-sale sales of the game have reached 400,000 copies.

Although it is completely incomparable to those masterpieces that have already made a name for themselves, the pre-sale sales this time are almost close to the total sales of "Legends of the Great Three Kingdoms War"!

What's more, this game is not a product similar to "Legend of the War of the Three Kingdoms", but a real "normal price" that meets the quality of the game!

EVEN THOUGH STEAM WILL TAKE A 30% COMMISSION ON THE SALE PRICE OF EACH COPY, THIS TIME, FOR EVERY GAME SOLD, HELLFIRE ENTERTAINMENT CAN GET MUCH MORE MONEY THAN THE PREVIOUS GAME!

However, the cost of developing this game this time is also more than the combined cost of several games they have made before.

According to the calculations of the Black Hand, in order to really start making money, they need to sell at least 1.2 million games to meet the requirements!

“……”

On the twentieth floor of the Wenlo Tower, there was a mysterious silence.

It was supposed to be working hours, but at present, except for the planning team still trying to count pre-sale sales, all functions within the company have basically stopped.

It's not because someone didn't come to work, everyone sat at their jobs, nervously waiting for their "verdict".

――How many copies of this game will be sold? Will it lose money? Barely qualified? Or can it make money?

All members of the Hellfire Corporation are currently speculating about this issue. It is completely unrealistic for them to immediately devote themselves to the development of DLC content.

Because of this, even Zhao Nuo, who has always been strict, did not force these guys to work. Instead, he thoughtfully announced that he didn't have to work today, and even if he left the company now, it didn't matter.

Not a single person left.

Despite their unwillingness to accept the harsh reality, everyone knows that if "Hell Capital" fails, today may be the last day of the company's existence!

In the deputy manager's office, Zhao Nuo and Xia Xiaoling also leaned on the sofa, staring at the gray ceiling overhead.

"Still a little nervous......" The girl shrank into Zhao Nuo's arms, her expression looked like she was about to cry.

"Don't worry."

Zhao Nuo said and stroked her long hair, but it was not for reasons such as rubbing oil, but simply to comfort the other party, like coaxing a frightened kitten.

At this moment, he was also secretly speculating: what kind of results will be achieved from the capital of hell?

Even with high scores from game critics and well-known game media, there are many games that are "not popular". With a new game like Hell Capital, there may be many players who are in a wait-and-see mode, and sales may be lower!

"Come on, guys......" Zhao Nuo whispered to himself.

What they don't know is that at this moment, there are still some people who are also working hard for the sales of this game:

"Hello ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to my pie duì!"

Outside the building, which is comparable to a "castle", there are all kinds of luxury cars parked. Sitting in the palatial baroque decorated hall, Xia Shiren, who was out of season in a blue shirt and shorts, raised the Budweiser beer in his hand.

"Oooh!" A group of "fox friends and dog friends" in the audience cheered one after another, and the sound of opening cans was endless.

As always, this guy is still not doing his job. Because of this kind of thing, Xia Lin has scolded him many times, "Why don't you bastard learn from your sister". He always laughed it off, too. But this time......

"Before we start the, I want to have a press conference." Xia Shiren began to talk nonsense in a serious manner.

In the crowd in the hall, there was a burst of laughter. However, it soon quieted down, Xia Shiren nodded with satisfaction, and said in a deep voice:

"Actually, I have a request this time."

"Brother Xia said, you have helped us so many times, you should do some help!"

A shirtless young man yelled with a flushed face. Immediately afterwards, several people next to him sighed helplessly: "Damn, Xiao Li, why are you drunk so quickly?" ”

Ignoring the "friends" who started to make noise again, Xia Shiren raised his voice, and uncharacteristically did not start telling jokes as usual, but stood up and bowed:

"As you may already know, my sister is working on a game. This time, the game she made zuò is about to be released simultaneously around the world, if you are friends who like to play games, can you buy a genuine version and try it? Please, everybody! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of voices of discussion sounded in the audience:

"Xia Xiaoling? That idiot still makes a game? ”

"Xiao Ling is very powerful, have you forgotten the last time you played "Tekken 6" with Xiao Ling and was abused by her?"

"I actually embarked on the road of no return for programmers, Xiaoling can eat with her face......"

Listening to the chaotic voice in the audience, Xia Shiren frowned slightly, and was about to say something, when he heard "Xiao Li", who had drunk too much just now, shout again:

"Brother Xia's sister made a game, how can you not support it? Brother Xia quickly said how to buy! I'm going to buy ten copies! ”

"Okay." Xia Shiren took out the small remote control with a black shell from his pocket, pressed the upper button, and the giant screen behind him, which was always playing various action movies in his usual paiduì, began to play his pre-recorded short film of "teach you how to buy games on steam".

"I know that everyone here is not short of money, and two hundred yuan for a game is not enough for you to pay for a meal, right?" Xia Shiren stared at his "fox friends and dog friends", and there were many people who were richer than him among these guys: "However, these two hundred yuan are equivalent to a whole year's hard work for my sister and her company!" ”

"My father, who is an old antique, used to be very opposed to her working in game development, which can be tiring to death, and to be honest, I don't want to see my sister tired of making games. But I actually envy her too, because she is in a profession that she loves, developing games - this is indeed her dream! ”

"As an incompetent brother, this time I want to protect my sister's dream, even if it's just an unrealistic dream, I want her to continue to do it!"

"So, please! If you have any friends who like games, you can also recommend them to them. Please! ”

Seeing that Xia Shiren, who had always been funny, would ask himself so seriously, everyone present couldn't help but be silent.

After about half a minute, a voice finally sounded from the audience:

"I'll buy it, after all, Xiaoling is a natural stay, and the game she made should be very interesting, right?"

"Well, thank you." Xia Shiren nodded seriously. R1152
