An Expert Is actually By My Side

Chapter 372 Open the server!

It has been three days since the release of the first batch of activation codes, and it is finally the day when the alpha version of World of Warcraft is officially launched.

Since the early hours of last night, the Yunmeng Game official website page has been replaced with a countdown clock.

According to the announcement released by Yunmeng Games on its official Weibo account and official account, when the clock struck midnight, the undead woke up under the song of the Banshee, the night elves stepped out of the forest under the protection of Teldrassil, and the horns of Stormwind City blew. The entire world of Azeroth will be under the shadow of war.

obviously.

The gaudy clock on the official website is the countdown to the official opening of World of Warcraft. Although only a total of more than 10,000 activation codes were issued, more than a million people stayed on the countdown page of the official website, waiting for the moment when the server was officially launched.

In the World of Warcraft discussion community of the creative workshop, the constantly emerging posts swiped the screen on the homepage. Almost every time the refresh button is pressed, there will be hundreds of new posts.

Regardless of whether they have an activation code or not, almost all players who have made an appointment have participated in this carnival.

【hateful! Goubi's Yunmeng game released too few activation codes! It's not that Europeans can't grab it at all, okay? ? ? 】

[Hey, there's no need to be envious, didn't the officials say it all? The main plot of the closed beta stage will not be advanced, and the next stage of the beta will delete files, which is equivalent to testing BUG for the official! 】

[Regardless of whether the main storyline advances or not, I'm sore anyway. 】

[Which part do you think the plot of World of Warcraft will start from? Did it take place before or after The Frozen Throne? 】

[It should be later! Wasn't there a picture of Alsace sleeping in the official promotional video some time ago? I estimate that the official version is the Lich King waking up from his deep sleep, or sending the Scourge to invade Azeroth or something. 】

[Hey, I really want to fast forward to the day when the server officially opens! 】

Carnival doesn't just happen in workshops.

As the popularity continued to ferment, it quickly spread to other social platforms, so that the two keywords, World of Warcraft and Mr. Hao, were almost sent to the hot search by fanatical players.

As for the reason why it was posted on the hot search, it was mainly because too many people wanted to be qualified for the internal test, but not everyone could ask Hao Yun face to face like Lin Jiaojiao did.

Ever since, these players who couldn't find the activation code all ran to Mr. Ait Hao and the World of Warcraft official on the scarf, hoping to get the activation code by PY.

Even though everyone knows that the possibility of obtaining the activation code in this way is very slim, it does not prevent these players from trying it out with the mentality of giving it a try.

What if?

What if Mr. Hao saw the private message?

If you really get the activation code, even if you don't play it yourself, if you put it on the second-hand trading platform and sell it backhand, it will cost 50,000 to 60,000 yuan! After all, it is more reliable than buying lottery tickets!

The internet café in front of Jiangcheng University.

In order not to affect the rest of the other two roommates, Zhou Xuan and Wang Ziyi, who were planning to stay overnight, decided to come out and open a private room for two in the VIP area, waiting for the server to open.

Looking at the character creation screen that has not been unlocked, Zhou Xuan rubbed his hands nervously and said.

What name do you think I should choose later?

How about Mei Chuan's pants?

Hearing Wang Ziyi's ridicule, Zhou Xuan gave this guy a sideways glance.

Football, seriously, this name will accompany me throughout my college career.

Wang Ziyi said with a smile.

It's nonsense. According to the current speed of Yunmeng Games' release of new works, I think this game will be popular for a year at most.

Then you're wrong, Zhou Xuan shook his head, and continued, Professional players' intuition tells me that this game won't be obsolete in five years, let alone in one year!

Wang Ziyi smiled and didn't take it seriously.

Hot ten years?

hehe.

Just kidding, the history of video games in the world is only a dozen years old.

According to the current hardware technology and the iterative speed of the gameplay, even the next-generation online game Oracle, which the domestic communication giant Haishi Group spent hundreds of millions of dollars to create, dare not boast that it can be popular for so long in Haikou.

With the help of the east wind of Warcraft, World of Warcraft has focused the attention of the entire player circle since its birth, but this does not mean that this game can continue to be popular.

No one knows what the future holds.

...

It wasn't just players like Zhou Xuan and Wang Ziyi who were waiting for the World of Warcraft server to open. Mr. Li from Hunter Network Technology was also nervously waiting for the minute to strike midnight.

three days!

Three full days!

While others were discussing what this next-generation online game, which claims to redefine the gameplay of MMORPG, would look like, Li Jinbo mobilized all the employees of his company and spent about five million to buy 117 World of Warcraft coins from the Internet. Activation code!

Excluding those activation codes that have been bound to accounts, these 117 unused activation codes have almost monopolized the entire second-hand activation code market.

Thanks to the popularity of World of Warcraft, more and more buyers are looking for activation codes online, and the average transaction price has changed from 50,000 three days ago to the highest 70,000 today.

In the face of these fanatical players, he didn't even need to deliberately raise the price. He only needed to take a middle value between the lowest transaction price and the highest transaction price, and sold the 117 activation codes to those players for 60,000 yuan. The local tyrants who want to buy can easily make a lot of money.

Looking at the beating counter, Li Jinbo's breathing gradually became rapid, as if he could vaguely hear his own heartbeat.

At this time, the employee sitting in front of the computer shouted excitedly.

Boss! World of Warcraft is now open!

Almost like a conditioned reflex, Li Jinbo shouted loudly.

Quick! Right now! Put our activation code on the display window immediately, with a price tag of 70,000! The quantity is tentatively set at 50! After the sale is sold out, the price will be increased by 5,000, and then the remaining activation codes will be released!

The employee operating the computer paused slightly with his index finger and said hesitantly.

Is 70,000 too expensive?

Expensive? I think it's cheap! Li Jinbo chuckled, and continued, Now we are the only one with the activation code on the entire network. If you think it's too expensive, just wait for the official version. Buy it or not!

Seeing what the boss said, the employee stopped hesitating and set the price according to Li Jinbo's instructions.

Soon, less than a minute after the activation code was hung up, someone came to ask.

Someone asked if it was in stock, and someone asked if it could be cheaper, or a discount or something.

Of course, it is impossible to be cheap. Now it is a seller's market, and the activation code in hand is not worrying about selling. Listening to the sound of Didi Didi news one after another in the office, Li Jinbo seemed to hear the sound of gold falling into the bowl, and the corners of his grinning mouth almost touched the roots of his ears.

However, just as he was dreaming of making a fortune, the employee sitting at the desk next to him suddenly changed his expression slightly and said in a trembling voice.

Boss, there seems to be a new announcement on the official website of Yunmeng Games.

New announcement?

For some reason, Li Jinbo suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, so he didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly logged on to the official website of Yunmeng Games.

However, the moment his eyes met the new announcement, his heart almost stopped beating instantly.

I saw that in the announcement, it was written——

【...For a long time, our original intention of creating games at Yunmeng Games is to bring players a perfect gaming experience. In this closed beta activity, we heard voices from players that the number of activation codes is too small. 】

[Therefore, in order to respond to the expectations of the majority of players, we have decided through an internal meeting that starting today, we will release an additional 10,000 activation codes every Thursday and Sunday! 】

[Azeroth needs more heroes! 】

[Warriors, I wish you good luck! 】
