Rebirth of the Wild Age

Fei Xiaodong, who used to be obsessed with Warrior of Gods and Demons, is already a sophomore in high school at this time, and has been abandoned for more than two months.

One is that the internet speed is too slow, making it uncomfortable to play; the other is that my cousin also abandoned the pit, and no one took him to play; the third is that there was a bug some time ago, and the game was directly rolled back for 72 hours, which made Fei Xiaodong two All night's hard work has been wiped out. It happened that the end of the term was about to come, Fei Xiaodong made up for the missed courses, and after the exam was over, he lost his thoughts on Warrior of Gods and Demons.

Xiaodong, what do you think this is? Chen Zhuo in the front row held a copy of Computer World in his hand.

Fei Xiaodong lay down on the desk and said, Magazine, what's wrong?

Chen Zhuo turned to the last page of the magazine, and there was a CD attached: Buy the magazine and get a free CD, the client installation disk of Legend.

Fei Xiaodong said, New game?

That's right, the game of Excalibur Networks. Chen Zhuo said.

Fei Xiaodong said, Why does the name of this company sound familiar?

Chen Zhuo flipped through the magazine and said: There is an introduction in the magazine that this company was established by Song Weiyang who bought Zulong Studio and recruited a group of Xishanju teams. Zulong Studio is the one that developed Freedom and Glory. .”

I played Freedom and Glory, and it was quite fun. Fei Xiaodong immediately became interested.

Chen Zhuo smiled and said, How about going to my house to play for a while tonight?

Okay. Fei Xiaodong said.

Chen Zhuo belongs to the first batch of the rich second generation since the reform and opening up. His father had money and turned bad to support his mistress. In the end, his parents divorced and each formed a new family, and both parties gave birth to another child. Chen Zhuo and his stepmother quarreled twice in three days, and his grandparents couldn't get along with that stepmother, which made his father feel depressed, and finally bought another house and moved out. Chen Zhuo has lived with his grandparents since junior high school.

After school in the afternoon, Fei Xiaodong went straight to Chen Zhuo's house, lied and called back, telling his parents that he was going to have a reunion with his classmates tonight.

After having dinner with Chen Zhuo's grandparents, the two high school students couldn't wait to come to the computer, and the game was installed as early as eating.

When registering an account, Chen Zhuo was a little dumbfounded: Why do you need an ID number?

Fei Xiaodong was a little short-sighted, leaned close to the screen and read small words: In order to protect the physical and mental health of minors, please enter your ID number for verification. If you fail the verification, you will only have six hours of game time per day. If it exceeds six hours, the remaining Time to fight monsters and do tasks will not be able to gain experience, gold coins and other benefits.

It's unnecessary! Chen Zhuo muttered and scratched his head, I haven't got an ID card yet.

Fei Xiaodong said: There is an ID number in the household registration book.

yes!

Chen Zhuo immediately went to search, and soon he said depressedly: I seem to be 18 years old in four months.

Fei Xiaodong turned the account book back to the head of the household page: Use your grandfather's ID number.

Chen Zhuo gave a thumbs up: You are still smart, you deserve to be a top student.

The excessive action that the two high school students complained about was actually ordered by Song Weiyang to do it. He even set up a server-side team in Shenjian Company, with a scale of 10 people, who are responsible for solving various problems on the server side, and the identity authentication system is only one of them.

After Chen Zhuo created the character and clicked to enter, a blank screen suddenly appeared with a few lines of text: Resist bad games, refuse pirated games. Pay attention to self-protection, and be careful not to be cheated. Moderate games are good for the brain, and indulging in games is bad for the body. Arrange time reasonably , enjoy a healthy life.”

Fei Xiaodong couldn't help but said, Is this the online version of smoking harmful to health?

Become a cousin and set up a memorial archway. Chen Zhuo said.

It's no wonder the two high school students complained. It's true that there are not so many rules these days. After a few years, all games will have to verify their identity information, and they will have to post these few lines of prompts.

Now, it is still a barbaric era. The country has just begun to legislate on the Internet, and it has not paid attention to online games at all.

Fuck, this game screen is fine! Chen Zhuo exclaimed suddenly.

Fei Xiaodong watched Chen Zhuo play for a while, and commented: The gameplay is a bit similar to War of Gods and Demons, but the picture is indeed more exquisite, and the music is also comfortable to listen to.

In fact, Legend is rougher and simpler than War of Gods and Demons. There are novice equipment directly in the package, and there is no need to find npc everywhere to pick up tasks and get props. In other words, the quest is completely a decoration, just go out and kill monsters. Anyway, regardless of the quest rewards, if you have the time to run back and forth, it is better to kill a few more wild monsters.

Fei Xiaodong sat beside him and observed for a while, then suddenly said, I'll borrow your cell phone.

Chen Zhuo was having a good time, without turning his head, he said, Take it yourself.

Fei Xiaodong called his cousin on his mobile phone: Cousin, a new game called Legend has just been released, maybe you can ask your boss to play with it.

Okay, I'll have dinner with the boss outside, we'll talk about it later. It's time to hang up. The cousin cut it off directly.

My cousin used to do a small business to make ends meet, but he actually hugged his thigh in Warrior of Gods and Demons. The president of his union is a local boss. Although they have all abandoned the pit now, but in reality, my cousin hangs out with the local boss and eats some leftover business. Others leak out more money than he used to make.

Shenghai, inside a high-end hotel.

The local boss does not appear to be earthy, but rather thick. This man was strong and short, with a big gold chain hanging on his chest, a crooked forbearance tattooed on his left wrist, and a rather beautiful scorpion tattooed on his right arm. With this image, after more than ten years, if you go out at night, your ID card will definitely be checked.

There are many people at the party today, but they are all the backbone of the trade union in Warrior of Gods and Demons.

Due to the previous bug reversion incident, and the game became more and more complicated and boring, the local boss directly abandoned the pit. Recently, I played it again a few times, and when I became interested, I simply called an offline party for union members. As long as they are willing to come and eat together, the local boss will cover all the board, lodging and travel expenses.

But the image of this dude was too frightening. A gentle college student was frightened, and sat at the dining table like a quail, daring not to speak.

Boss Tu seemed to see that some of his brothers were afraid of him, and he rubbed his fingers and laughed cheerfully: Don't treat me as a bad person, I am now a serious businessman, a regional partner of Xifeng Company's Shenghai Branch!

When the college student heard that it was Xifeng Company, he immediately lost some fear and asked curiously, What did the president do before?

The local boss said with emotion: In the past, the gangsters used to hang out with Boss Yuan at the train station and resell some pirated CDs and books. Later, Boss Yuan followed Xifeng to do business, and he could go ashore successfully. In the business of the railway station, I was sentenced to seven years in prison when I robbed people of land. I was lucky, I didn’t go to that action, and now I do business according to my duties. Let me tell you, I am not only a partner of Xifeng’s area, It is also the secondary agent of several beverages. Don’t be afraid of me, I will not do anything illegal now.”

A guy with a white-collar appearance on the table obviously knew more about things. He stood up with a smile and said, The prodigal son will not change his money when he returns. Come, let's toast the president. I wish the president a lot of money and all wishes come true!

It's easy to say, easy to say! The local boss rolled up his sleeves and drank down the wine in one gulp.

The cousin hung up the phone, came back and said with a smile: President, my cousin just informed me that there is a new game called Legend that is very fun.

The boss looked at the time: Okay, don't get drunk today, go to the Internet cafe to play a new game. If the new game is not fun, then go to Warrior of Gods and Demons to fight a team battle. I will cover all the expenses!

The president is bold! Everyone quickly flattered.

More than a dozen guys were slightly drunk and half-drunk. They went out and sat in two commercial vans. Just looking at the leader's appearance, it was as if he was going to fight.

When I came to an Internet cafe with a 1m broadband installed, the boss took out a few red tickets and asked the network administrator: How many machines are there?

The network administrator looked at the notebook and said, It's full. There are still 16 minutes left for the No. 4 machine, and half an hour for the No. 17 machine to get off the plane.

The local boss didn't care about that much, took out a stack of tickets and said, Whoever gives up his seat, I will pay for his Internet fee, and I will charge him another 50 yuan!

This kind of good thing happens once in a thousand years, hula la stood up twenty or thirty in an instant.

The local boss directly chose one of the rows next to each other, and some of them refused to get off the plane, so he transferred them to other machines to go online.

In the entire Internet cafe, most people are chatting on QQ and chat room forums. Especially those girls, almost all open QQ and Renren (alumni record), chatting and stealing food can pass the whole night.

There are still a small number of people who are playing Millennium, War of Gods and Demons and Stone Age. Behind each player, there are an average of five or six people watching the excitement.

When the local boss first started playing Legend, it also felt a bit like War of Gods and Demons. But soon he discovered that he didn't need to look for npcs everywhere, and he didn't need to go everywhere to take quests. He just grabbed a wooden sword and formed a group to kill monsters.

Due to the strong publicity and promotion, and only one server was opened for the time being, after nine o'clock in the evening, there were actually more people than monsters.

President, someone is fighting the boss! the college student shouted.

The local boss was surprised: There is a boss so early?

The college student said: It's a small boss in the field, and it looks like a normal monster. I clicked on it and found out that it was the 'Scarecrow King'.

Coordinates! the local boss shouted, Brothers, the copycats are stealing monsters.

A group of people rushed over quickly, only to find that there were a lot of monsters looting, and the local boss directly ordered to kill first. These guys slashed at anyone they saw, and they cooperated with each other, quickly occupying the small boss in the field.

Fuck, big explosion!

The heavenly maid scattered flowers!

The 8*8 area is full of exploded items, instantly making the nearby players jealous, rushing desperately to get stuck in the pit.

The abnormal massacre broke out again, and someone shouted: President, I grabbed a tripping rope. The item name is a special purple item. You can use it to catch the mount!

President, I picked up a Lingfeng sword, the item name is blue. Fuck, I was killed, and Lingfeng burst out.

...

After a melee and hacking, the local boss killed an unknown number of people, and directly became famous. When he was resurrected again, he found himself on another map, and the small map showed that the place was called Valley of the Wicked.

The local boss ran around in a daze, and found that there was no one here, but there were wild monsters everywhere, so he immediately yelled: Come to my place to fight monsters and upgrade!

President, where are you?

How do I get to the Valley of the Wicked?

The president is really awesome, he found a new map at level 4.

...

The local boss was about to cry. He ran for a long time and found that there were no npcs here, not even a warehouse, but densely packed wild monsters.

Until the next day, Boss Tu had been promoted to level 14, and he finally figured out what was going on with this map. Only after the red-named killer dies can he enter here automatically, and after entering, he can't get out, because the monster level gets higher the further he goes out, so there's no need to cross the map on foot at this time.

After staying in the Valley of the Wicked for three full days, the local boss finally got a white name, but he still couldn't get out. A week later, the local boss was almost desperate, and ordered all the brothers to die and come to accompany him. Then after two more days, they finally found an npc under a tree, as long as the name is white, it can be teleported to the normal map...

The Internet cafe promotion of Legend is still in progress, first in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, then in second- and third-tier cities, and it was not until two months later that it gradually spread to small cities.

Due to the fact that it can be played for free during the public beta period, coupled with the strong promotion of Internet cafes, Legend quickly swept across the country.

The industry was dumbfounded, because apart from the screen, the content of this game is very empty and rubbish, and they don't understand why so many people like it. In just one and a half months, the number of concurrent online users exceeded 150,000, and began to grow wildly. At the end of the three-month public beta, the number of concurrent online users was close to 1 million—more than the total number of players in other games.

No matter whether the outside world praises or criticizes, the first topic raised by Legend is actually related to the 9/11 incident.

In fact, a certain newspaper did not publish Tonight, We Are All Americans on the day of 9/11.

This article is just a heartfelt letter written by the public to the American father, and it was posted on the Internet to collect signatures. The title is not like this, but the letter contains such words. Hundreds of filial sons ran to sign the petition, which immediately aroused the disgust of the entire network, and finally even spread to the real media—a newspaper reprinted the original text.

And some netizens who couldn't understand it directly wrote an article to reply - Tonight, we are all playing legends.

Song Weiyang really didn't do it, it's too easy to give up the truth. But who let Legend be selected for the 911 public beta, and it was extremely popular, so it was used by netizens in a sarcastic tone.

In fact, in the original time and space, Shanda also started the internal test of Legend on September 11th...
