Rebirth of the Wild Age

Seoul, hotel.

After returning from the scenic spot, Lin Zhuoyun turned on the laptop and ate something to fill his stomach. The manuscripts she needs to edit are all stored in the computer. In fact, she only needs to modify a little manuscript content, correct typos and grammatical errors, and at most delete some paragraphs due to layout constraints. After all, they are all fine articles under the banyan tree.

It can be said that Under the Banyan Tree is the easiest literary magazine to collect manuscripts. Lin Zhuoyun's most arduous task is to finalize the editorial outline, so as to select and match the manuscripts for the new issue.

After working for several hours, and finally finished all the manuscripts, Lin Zhuoyun started to connect to the Internet and send emails to the deputy editor-in-chief in China.

Lin Zhuoyun didn't pay attention at first, but the email transmission was completed within minutes, and she was suddenly surprised: The Internet speed in South Korea is so fast!

South Korea's Internet speed is the highest in the world. Song Weiyang said.

Lin Zhuoyun couldn't believe it: I thought the US had the fastest internet speed in the world.

Although South Korea claims to be the number one in the world in many fields, and is even ridiculed for sitting on the sky, it really doesn't brag about the speed of the Internet.

Three years ago, South Korea’s internet speed hadn’t surpassed China’s internet speed too far. Both countries are vigorously promoting isdn technology, and the fastest internet speed can reach 128kbps. However, starting in 1999, Hanaro suddenly introduced broadband technology and launched a low-priced monthly package of 28,000 won (170 RMB), which immediately caused a sensation in South Korea, and the South Korean news agency followed up to grab the market.

The competition between the two communication companies, coupled with the South Korean government's investment of billions of dollars in infrastructure construction, has made South Korea's network speed soaring. In 2005, 100m broadband was popularized, and the network fee is getting lower and lower.

Friends who follow the lol league should be familiar with the two companies Hanaro and South Korea News Agency. The abbreviation of the former is kt, and the abbreviation of the latter is skt.

It was only the beginning of 2001 at this time, and South Korea had already popularized 1m broadband, and the hotel where Song Weiyang and Lin Zhuoyun stayed had a network speed of 8m.

In contrast, China is now trying to popularize 512k broadband. If a school has installed 512k broadband, it can be used for enrollment promotion, and it is regarded as a very awesome existence by students and parents.

Because of the strong internet speed in South Korea, the online game market in South Korea is extremely hot, at least it doesn't get stuck!

When Lin Zhuoyun was busy working with his laptop, Song Weiyang was not idle even when he was bored. He called Ming Taixun, a tour guide who lived in the next room, and asked him to download several games for him. As a result, very literally there is no Legend, because this shitty game is not popular in Korea.

Song Weiyang said: These games are not fun, are there any other online games?

Ming Taixun could only help download the game again. After a long time of tossing, Song Weiyang finally let Song Weiyang find Legend of Mir (Legend). He immediately smiled and said: This game is fun!

Mr. Song really has taste, this game is very popular in Korea. Ming Taixun quickly flattered him.

Song Weiyang said: Go to sleep, I will play slowly by myself.

Ming Taixun said enthusiastically: Do you need me to help you translate character attributes, skills and equipment?

It's okay, even Meng Dai guessed it. Song Weiyang said.

Okay then, I wish Mr. Song a happy game. Ming Taixun reluctantly left, he still wanted to lick Song Weiyang a few more times, but unfortunately the other party didn't give him a chance to show it.

After playing until he could easily kill the multi-hooked cat, Song Weiyang called Rebus overseas: Junzi, are you asleep?

It's not off work yet! Lei Jun is really a workaholic.

Song Weiyang said: I was traveling in Korea and found a great game. I think Jinshan should buy the agency rights.

Lei Jun asked, Paradise?

Song Weiyang said, It's not 'Paradise', it's 'Legend of Mir'.

Lei Jun actually replied: I know this broken game, it's very rubbish, it's not playable at all.

How do you know? Song Weiyang was a little surprised.

Lei Jun said: This game was developed and authorized by South Korea's actoz company. Before the Lantern Festival, actoz came to China to promote it. Jinshan was the first one to find us. Not only have I played this game, but I also know Wanwan is already online, and the number of people online at the same time is only over 3,000.”

Song Weiyang said: So, you rejected Actoz?

Of course I refuse, this broken game will only be represented by a fool. Lei Jun said.

Song Weiyang was speechless for a moment.

Historically, actoz also brought Legend to search for agents everywhere in China, but was ruthlessly rejected time and time again. So Actoz approached Shenghai Animation Association for cooperation, and asked the Animation Association to help find an agent. It just so happened that Shanda was doing online animation at the beginning, and the two hit it off after getting in touch.

Now it is obviously a deviation caused by the butterfly effect. Since Jinshan successfully operated War of Gods and Demons, the first thing actoz came to China to look for was Jinshan.

However, it was still rejected by Jinshan. If Song Weiyang hadn't intervened, Legend might have been picked up by Chen Tianqiao.

The reason why Jinshan refused is very simple, just like Lei Jun said, this game is very rubbish!

Even though War of Gods and Demons is easy to use according to Song Weiyang's various requirements, the content and gameplay are still very rich. The higher the level, the more complicated it is. Many bosses also require teamwork. Without any of the professions, it is impossible to win. In the later stage, you have to change jobs. The three initial jobs became nine after the job transfer. The special equipment for each job can only be synthesized by yourself. The task system is also extremely complicated and cumbersome, especially the job transfer tasks after the second job transfer. Without 100 hours of game time, you don't even want to complete the job transfer tasks.

It's obviously gone astray, and it's a thousand miles away from Song Weiyang's request.

But game makers at this time like to play this way, and they also think that players like to play this way. What's more, players can't get out if they get lost in the main city. There is no mini-map at all, and there are no game prompts. The twists and turns are like a maze, and the good online game has become a guessing game.

Anyway, it is crazy abuse of players, so you can't figure it out at all, so you have the fun of adventure. In order to increase the difficulty of the game, players cannot win together with level elite monsters, nor can they be defeated in a team of two or three people. Fighting elite monsters is similar to fighting a boss, and fighting a boss requires a trade union to form a team.

By the way, players will lose experience and equipment when they die. After a boss is defeated, you may drop from level 60 to level 50, and lose all your equipment. Fighting the boss actually makes the player weaker and weaker.

In one of the best games, there will be a situation like this: you encounter ordinary monsters of the same level in the wild, you are killed by wild monsters, 90% of your equipment is lost, and your level is -1. You resurrect at the respawn point, you can pick up your equipment, but you don't have a game map. With your super memory, you spend an hour and finally find the place where you died. You saw your equipment, you ran over madly, you were killed by wild monsters, your equipment was lost, and your level was -1. You resurrect at the respawn point, you can pick up your own equipment...

By the way, the urban area of ​​the above game is also very powerful, it is possible to fall into the river anytime and anywhere, and then you may have to go through various attempts and spend a week climbing out of the river.

This is also one of the reasons for the proliferation of game cheats, because without using cheats, players cannot play the game normally.

Those who make games are perverts!

The Korean kimchi game has been able to dominate China for several years because its gameplay is relatively simple, suitable for countless novices who are new to computers, and Legend is the simplest of the simple ones!

And because it was too simple, it was rejected by countless agents.

Song Weiyang said: I think Legend of Mir is very marketable. If you send someone over to discuss it, you must also buy the source code.

Lei Jun resolutely objected: This game really doesn't work, it's too rubbish, and the highest number of people online at Wanwan is only 3,000.

Listen to me. Song Weiyang said.

Lei Jun was silent.

Song Weiyang said: If something goes wrong, I will be responsible.

Lei Jun said depressedly: Boss, you can't do this, this is pure nonsense.

Song Weiyang said, Do you trust my business sense?

This has nothing to do with business sense, Lei Jun said. There are so many games out of Jinshan, and I have been involved in the whole process. From the perspective of game professionals, Legend of Mir is really useless!

Song Weiyang said: Then from a player's point of view, Legend of Mir is a gold mine!

Lei Jun retorted: You can't use your own unique preferences for games to infer the preferences of the majority of players for games.

It was obvious that the conversation on the phone could not continue, Song Weiyang said: When I return to China, I will have a good chat with you!
