Reborn on the Internet: Starting with Games

Chapter 120 New Year's New Plan

At the same time, the public beta testing of Ragnarok and Bubble Hall has begun.

Chen Hao and Chen Hao came back from the firecrackers and finished eating the dumplings. After all, the second brother was getting old, so he went back to his room to sleep first.

A little closer, on the computer table in the study room, Chen Hao and Lin Xiaoran sat side by side, one with a desktop and one with a notebook.

Chen Hao is playing Ragnarok and Lin Xiaoran is playing Bubble Hall. Each has different hobbies.

After logging into the game, he saw that the first five servers were all full and that registration was stopped. Chen Hao randomly selected the server recommended by the game and created a new swordsman in it.

Wandering around in various places, Chen Hao didn't really like playing this type of game. He mainly observed the number of people in the game, network stability, game fluency and other indicators through play.

Lin Xiaoran entered the Bubble Hall game interface. After going through the novice guidance, he did not choose to start the game. Instead, he wandered around the mall and never wanted to leave.

There was a lot of money in her account. After a while, Lan Lan dressed up gorgeously and looked very cute. Then she started the game and threw various bombs in it. She played with concentration, sometimes dancing and sometimes frowning in regret, because she had some experience in the past. , generally win more and lose less.

At 1:23, Chen Hao received a call from Zhou Xiao. The latter's slightly excited voice came from the mobile phone, "Boss, Ragnarok and Bubble Hall have just exceeded , it's done!"

Chen Hao was very calm and said, "Stay steady and keep going!"

After hanging up the phone, the two started fighting in the game again.

Most industries are on holiday during the Spring Festival, but some special industries are exempt.

For example, in Internet cafes, the more holidays there are, the more prosperous the business is. However, this year's New Year's Eve, the number of people was more than in previous years.

Some Internet cafe owners didn't know why, so after asking customers, they found out that Century Interactive Entertainment had two open beta games. No wonder.

Within half an hour after the open beta, the 17173 Ragnarok and Bubble Hall sections, including the official forum, fell again. Heizi was still forced to open on New Year's Eve, and his professionalism was full.

There are usually two factions quarreling, but this is the first time that the black fans have the absolute upper hand.

Because another group of players are enjoying themselves in the game and have no time to go to the forum to argue.

According to the 2002 Internet User Statistics Report, female Internet users accounted for 39.8%, and there are actually not many female players in Internet cafes.

In fact, Ragnarok’s unique combination of 3D map scenes + 2D characters not only depicts exquisite scenery, characters and battle scenes, but also ensures the smooth operation of the game;
In terms of world view, it is an exquisite mixture of Japanese skin + Korean core + Nordic mythology background story. The complete world view and rich background settings will give players who have been hacking and killing in Shabak and Brave Continent a brand new experience;

In terms of music, the music production level far exceeds that of contemporary online games and is deeply rooted in the minds of players;
And most importantly, the rich social functions, including friends, team formation, guilds, interactive expressions, social tasks, relaxed game atmosphere and social attributes have attracted many female players.

This is the unique charm of Ragnarok.

When female players make up the majority of an online game, why don’t male players flock to it and get into the game with all their strength? Are they here to play the game?Maybe, but more importantly, it’s just for fun
Ragnarok is like this, and Bubble Hall is even more so.

In the Bubble Hall, the game technology is even more tested. This game tests the player's reaction and prediction ability.

If you are a big shot, then don’t take it easy if you want to find a girl in it.

Um?Chen Hao suddenly thought about whether he should get a game voice communication tool, such as YY, UT or the like.

Quickly take out the mysterious notebook and write down this page in 2003.

After playing until about 2 o'clock, Chen Hao silenced his cell phone, and the two of them went back to the house to sleep. After all, it couldn't be too late. Tomorrow, they would have to visit various relatives to pay New Year greetings.

The next few days were spent eating and drinking at relatives' houses, but Chen Hao found that this time when he came back, some relatives who were far away and didn't move around often came to pay New Year's greetings. It seemed that the new car was to blame.

On the sixth day of the lunar month, Chen Hao and the others were ready to set off.

The trunk of the car is already full, no less than when we arrived. There are all kinds of food that our parents asked us to take home, including home-made pickles and so on.

Chen Hao and Lin Lang each hugged their parents goodbye. Chen Hao made an appointment with his parents, aunt and uncle to go to the capital for a while in the summer.

Then, with their ardent expectations, they embarked on the journey to Ice City.

After their son and his girlfriend left, when Wu Xiuhua's family was cleaning up Chen Hao's room, they found a note under the quilt with a bank card inside.

It says: Mom and Dad, my son has earned some money outside. There are 300 million in this card. The password is dad's birthday. This is pocket money for you. I still have it here, so don't be reluctant to spend it.

She quickly called her husband over, and the two looked at each other in confusion as they looked at the note and bank card.

Wu Xiuhua swallowed, "Last time you asked me what our boy was doing. He was making games and starting a company. I didn't understand. Just tell me how much money he has now, right?"

Chen Xingguo was also a little unsure. He felt that the card in his hand was a bit heavy. "Looking at this situation, he must be worth at least 1000 million. Good guy, I gave him 2 yuan a year ago and got 300 million in exchange."

"No, I have to ask." Wu Xiuhua was about to take out her phone when she was stopped by Chen Xingguo.

"My son is doing this because he is afraid that you will ask. The child is already old. You see, his girlfriend has taken him home. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Let's just take care of ourselves and not put more burden on the children. That's it." Just worry about it, it’s better than anything else.”

Wu Xiuhua looked at the card in her hand and suggested cheerfully: "How about in a few months, let's take a leave, travel around the country, and visit the children by the way. The last time we traveled was more than ten years ago." ”

Chen Xingguo looked at his wife who was no longer young and said dotingly, "Okay, okay, it all depends on you!"

After a long journey, Chen Hao and his party arrived at Bingcheng.

Century Juhard has an office in Bingcheng with a computer room under construction. There are only a few employees. These few people received the notice one day in advance, so they were ready to wait for the arrival of the leader.

Chen Hao made a brief inspection and found that everything was in good order. He had a good impression.

Then they asked one of the employees with a driver's license to drive an Audi and take them to the airport. Everyone boarded the plane and left the car behind to use it as a public vehicle for the Bingcheng office.

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, construction begins in good time.The North is not as popular as the South in favor of profiteering.

Chen Hao returned to the company and wished each other good old days with his employees.

At the beginning of the new year, everything is new.

After the meeting with senior executives, Chen Hao returned to his office.

It's now February 03. Last month, Miracle's revenue exceeded 2 million in a single month for the first time, setting a new record due to the influence of the blessing activities and expansion packs that relied on recharging cards.

Zhou Xiao and Lu Tao already know the core gameplay of Miracle Follow-up, and they are familiar with it.

That is to keep nesting dolls, equipment, maps, reincarnations, monsters, enhancements, etc., squeeze out more toothpaste every month, and occasionally add some new gameplay and new maps.

So Chen Hao left the miracle to Zhou Xiao and they felt relieved.

Apart from some bugs reported by players during the Spring Festival, Ragnarok and Bubble Hall ran very smoothly without any major mistakes. Just now, Chen Hao held a meeting to praise the technical team on duty during the Spring Festival.

The number of people online for Ragnarok exceeded 20 on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. As a result, fees started to be charged on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and it fell back into the online game camp of more than 10 people. The current data is about 15 people online at the same time.

However, it does not have much impact on Bubble Hall. It is free to begin with, and now it has exceeded 20 people online at the same time, and it is growing rapidly.

However, both games were neither well-received nor well-received, and were still criticized online.

In addition to 17173, some game media took the opportunity to criticize Century Interactive Entertainment through these two games.

Chen Hao doesn't have time to worry about this yet. He has a lot of things to deal with now.

Open the notepad of major Internet events and look at the major events recorded in 03.

首当其冲的就是2003年2月23日福彩双色球第一期开始发售，号码为：10、11、12、13、26、28+11
Before, he planned to make his first pot of gold by relying on this number. Now, Chen Hao has nearly two small goals a month. When he sees this number again, his heart is no longer disturbed.

It is more of an exploratory verification, such as whether it is a Schrödinger-style two-color ball, or whether it is really controlled by humans.

The two sets of numbers he memorized were both meaningful. The second set of numbers were the winning numbers from the previous lottery that had a prize pool of several hundred million emptied out at once. He originally planned to try to see if he could also emptied out the prize pool.

It’s a pity that the second group is still nearly ten years away, so let’s wait.

The second major event is an event that has a greater impact on Internet cafes than Lan Jisu: SARS!

But there is no specific date written on it, only the first half of the year. This should be treated with caution.

If something goes wrong, the company's business may be shut down, and there will be no room to cry at that time.

Then continue looking at the few records.

NetEase launches Fantasy Westward Journey
Alibaba launches Taobao.

Tencent was established.

Baidu Tieba is online.

Gone!Damn it, it’s gone now?There isn't even a point in time.
I remembered being lonely at that time.

That is to say, I only wrote it down after I had a deep impression before. If I had put it aside until now, I would probably have forgotten all these things.

But these have nothing to do with him. BAT will develop step by step this year, and he can't get involved, and he doesn't have the capital.

I want to invest, but no one has listed it on the market. Besides, the few steel coins in my pocket are probably not enough for a fraction of others.

This Fantasy Westward Journey is a formidable opponent and should not be underestimated.

Chen Hao remembered that the mobile game Fantasy Westward Journey was also a cash cow later. He remembered that in 2023, the mobile game Fantasy Westward Journey could continue to make bricks and support a large number of people.

It's a pity that NetEase is currently very powerful. With its current strength, it is like a mantis trying to control its business.

Chen Hao rubbed his head, feeling a little headache for a moment.

MD, there are no guns or cannons, we make them ourselves,
We must let Three Kingdoms Online release it before Fantasy Westward Journey, otherwise we will be too passive.

2003 will be a year for me to let myself go and see what I can do.

The notebook turned to the next page, which was a to-do list he recorded a while ago.

Combining the to-do list with the current plan in his mind, Chen Hao was typing on the keyboard on the computer, working on the work plan for 03.

1. Establish Tianshu Studio to engage in Three Kingdoms online and strive for public testing as soon as possible.

2. Find Lao Jin and Lao Gu to purchase the copyright.Acquired Heluo Studio, now called Oriental Calculation Studio, to develop self-developed martial arts world MMORPG
3. Establish Century Network Shield Technology Co., Ltd. and recruit white hats from Wu Hanqing and Phantom Forum.

4. Find traces of Zhang Xiaolong, keyword: foxmail.Dig to develop a unified game account terminal (similar to Blizzard Battle.net) and game voice software.

5. Initial contact with Blizzard, express your intention to represent World of Warcraft, and obtain the rigid requirements of the other agent in advance.

6. The national computer room plan will continue to advance and strive to be completed by the end of the year.

If you don't know who is in the row, you will be shocked. There are many good things going on.
