Chapter 610 "Legend of Hot Blood" is a big hit

On the first day of the public beta test of "Legend of Hot Blood", the server crashed several times in succession, and the rollback happened twice.

Twenty years from now, this game and the online game company that represents it will basically be sentenced to death.

But in 2000, players didn't care about this at all. Although they would complain about the game's agent, they would also complain about why the game's server was so rubbish.

But no matter how much they scold it, it will not affect their love for an online game.

There is no way~ In China these days, there are too few online games with strong playability.

Most of the early online games were graphic online games, but this "Legend of Hot Blood" has allowed domestic gamers to truly appreciate the charm of online games.

Perhaps the previous money from Shengtong Network was not wasted, and the test situation that day completely exceeded Chen Li's imagination.

This can be seen from the fact that after Chen Li entered the game, he had to fight for even a deer.

But thinking about it~ After all, only one server was opened for this test, but even though the dissemination of information these days is far less developed than later, under Shengtong's money offensive, thousands of people still squeezed in after the server was opened.

.

It was the entry of thousands of people that directly led to the first crash of the game server.

It’s not that Shengtong Network’s servers are so bad that if they can’t handle thousands of people online, then Shengtong Network will still be an agent for Hammer Games.

It's just that Shengtong didn't expect that so many people would enter the game at the beginning. When the server was opened, the information flow exploded in an instant and caught Shengtong Network by surprise.

Fortunately, Shengtong Network just did not expect this to happen at the beginning, which does not mean that they were not prepared.

After Shengtong Network reacted, it restarted the server, and then the game began to operate normally again.

But soon~ the first major game BUG appeared in "Legend of Blood".

When players of this game first enter the game, they are born in two novice villages in Beech Province.

Since it is a novice village, the difficulty of the monsters around the village is naturally not that great. And compared to the refresh rate of monsters in other places, the refresh rate near the novice village is generally faster.

After all, the monsters here are less difficult, and they will be quickly wiped out by the influx of novice players.

According to common sense, the disappearance of a wave of monsters also means that the next wave of monsters will be refreshed after a period of time.

But an hour and a half after the game started testing that day, shortly after Chen Li arrived at the office, a bug suddenly appeared in the game, that is, the corpses of the killed monsters were not refreshed.

This has also led to a situation where fewer monsters that should have been re-spawned have decreased.

And the most terrifying thing is that as more and more monster corpses in the game have not been refreshed, normal games are basically no longer possible near the two novice villages.

The characters in the game are so stuck that they cannot move. It can be seen everywhere that they bounce back to the original place after taking three steps.

In addition, when this situation occurs in the game, gamers will naturally inevitably curse a few words, so players’ text messages can be seen everywhere in the game.

Then the game was rolled back, and the entire game process was rolled back to an hour ago.

Then, there was another problem with the game. This time, instead of not spawning monsters, the entire map was suddenly filled with monsters. The battle was much larger than the monster sieges in the previous Legend of Blood.

And this frequency of spawning monsters directly caused the entire server to crash again, and the official had to restart the server again, and directly returned to the appearance of the server when it was just started.

In other words, many players have been playing for several hours, but after two rewinds, all players are back on the same starting line.

Chen Li was both angry and happy about this!

Angry~ Naturally, it’s because the game has constant problems. As one of the bosses of the game agency, Chen Li naturally has reason to be angry.

In addition, even as a player~the agent's game is so bad. Player Chen Li will naturally be very angry.

As for being happy~ This is actually a little selfish to say, because he was delayed for a while before, so he was lagging behind others in terms of game level.

As a result, now that we have turned around, hey, he and the others are standing on the same starting line and starting again.

Of course, overall, Chen Li was far more angry than happy.

After all, happiness only lasts for a moment after rewinding, but sadness and anger accompany the whole day when the game is launched for testing.

In fact, in Chen Li's eyes, the testing of "Legend of Hot Blood" on this day was extremely bad. If the timeline were moved back a few years, Chen Li would have gone directly to Shengtong Network Company to start the fight.

But in 2000, this situation was simply unavoidable.

And it makes sense~ Although there were constant problems with the test on this day, judging from the results, the test on this day was undoubtedly successful.

Because on the first day of the game's closed beta, the peak online number of "Legend of Blood" exceeded 8,000 people online.

Although this number may not even be worthy of mentioning shoes compared to those later games that easily had millions of online users, in 2000, this was actually quite an achievement.

At the very least, Chen Li can guarantee that this result will definitely be better than the first-day test result of "Legend of Blood" in the previous life, or even much better.

You must know that Shengda in his previous life had no money to do any publicity. At that time, Chen Qiao almost wiped out all his money in order to represent and operate "Legend of Hot Blood".

At that time, the popularity of "Legend of Blood" was almost entirely based on word-of-mouth during the testing period.

In other words, at least in the world after Chen Li's rebirth, "Legend of Hot Blood" surpassed its previous life from the very beginning.

As for the next testing period, Shengtong Network only needs to solve the game's operational problems, promptly discover and remedy game-related loopholes and other issues, and then retain as many players as possible who have entered the game.

Then you can wait and count the money.

It is said that at the peak of "Legend of Blood" in the previous life, it could create more than one million net profits for Shengda Network every day. This number may not be impressive in later generations, but at that time. This achievement simply made a lot of domestic Internet companies

The people were all frightened.

You must know that at that time, the vast majority of domestic Internet companies did not even know how to make money. Even if some people found a way, they were still losing money for the time being.

Just when everyone was having a hard time, Chen Qiao's Shengda had reached the achievement of making millions a day, which made countless people's eyes turn red at the time.

So at that time, all Internet companies with some strength set their sights on the field of online games, such as the three major portals Wangnan~Jiulang and Sohu.

Yes~ After Shengda achieved surprising results in online games, almost all domestic Internet companies rushed to make online games.

But in the end, in the field of online games, it was only a pig factory that really broke through.

As for Tengxun, Tengxun at that time was nothing, at most it was just catching up from behind.

Of course, although there is only one pig factory that breaks out of the siege, it does not mean that these Internet companies that have gone to the online game circuit to play a circle have not made money.

In fact, almost all the companies that were the first to enter the online game industry made money, but there were just some problems.

In addition, as the competition in online games becomes more and more fierce, many companies have returned their focus to their original business.

It can be seen from this that the early game market was really hot. To put it a bit exaggerated, it was just like picking up money.

The reason for this situation is precisely because there was a gap in the domestic online game market in the early days.

Therefore, on the first day of testing of "Legend of Blood", the peak number of online users exceeded the 8,000 mark, which is undoubtedly a very remarkable thing.

And the most amazing thing is that this is only the first day, even if these people may just come in and take a look out of curiosity,

But with the in-depth understanding of game players, more and more game players will definitely fall in love with this game.

So the next day, as more and more gamers entered the game to experience it, Shengtong Network had to urgently add a server, changing the number of servers from one at the beginning to two.

But soon~ the two servers began to become full, so on the fifth day of the game's test, Shengtong Network directly opened four servers at once.

And when the time came to early December, "Legend of Blood", an online game that had just become popular in China, had already become a phenomenon.

In Internet cafes across the country, whenever a customer enters the store, the first thing they ask is almost

"Boss~ Do you have the game "Legend of Blood" here?"

The main reason for this situation is that there were not many Internet cafes that had downloaded the online game "Legend of Hot Blood" in the first place.

Although Chen Qiao had previously arranged local promoters at Chen Li's suggestion to promote it in Internet cafes across the country.

But the time was too short, and it was impossible for those local promoters to promote the game to any Internet cafe.

Secondly, Huaxia is really too big. Although the economic situation of Shengtong Network today is much better than that of Shengda in the previous life, the funds are still not that abundant.

This is why Shengtong Network used game forums for promotion instead of going to Internet cafes one by one.

There is no way ~ time and money are not enough to support Shengtong Network to do this at the beginning.

But as "Legend of Hot Blood" is accepted by more players, the popularity of this game has gradually increased.

At this time, those Internet cafes that had downloaded a small amount of the game "Legend of Blood" were obviously no longer able to cope with the players who fell in love with this game.

However, many Internet cafes these days are actually not large in scale. Small Internet cafes with twenty or thirty computers are actually the mainstream.

But in this way~ when the players wanted to continue playing this game, they found that the Internet cafe with "Legend of Blood" was already overcrowded.

Almost every computer is played by one person in front of it, while one or even multiple players are watching behind it.

There was no way~ Those players who couldn't find the machines began to run around and began to look for Internet cafes that had not become extremely popular because of the game "Legend of Blood".

As these players traveled around, Internet cafes across the country quickly installed "Legend of Blood".

Some smart Internet cafe owners even directly posted the news that "Legend of Blood" is available in the Internet cafe, otherwise, if a customer comes in, he will ask. It is really annoying.

In short, even with the personal participation of Chen Li, the butterfly, the online game "Legend of Blood" was not affected at all.

If we really want to talk about it, that was also the time when "Legend of Hot Blood" entered the country ~ almost eight months earlier than in its previous life.

And it was also because of Chen Li's interference that the development speed of "Legend of Hot Blood" was even much faster than that of its previous life.

No one else~ Because Chen Li changed the timeline for "Legend of Hot Blood" to enter the country, and those competitors who were supposed to enter the game market earlier than "Legend of Hot Blood" have not yet entered the game market.

To put it bluntly~ Because of Chen Li's involvement, not only has the strength of Shengtong Network Company, which represents this game, become stronger, but the competitors of "Legend of Hot Blood" have also become weaker.

In this situation of ebb and flow~ "Legend of Hot Blood" quickly became popular in the domestic game market at a speed far exceeding its previous generation.

Even Chen Li, who was tired of playing this game in his previous life, now logs into the game to chop down centipede claws and red and black wild boars in his spare time.

It is worth mentioning that when Chen Li was buying low-level skill books in the system store before, he unexpectedly found that there were high-level skill books for sale. There were two books for summoning divine beasts, and other half-moon scimitar~magic shield~raging fire books.

There are also more than one or several skill books on swordsmanship and other skills.

At first, Chen Li thought it was generated by the system. Later, Chen Li realized that these skill books were probably generated by players fighting wild zombie kings in zombie caves.

It's just that at this early stage, these skill books above level 28 seem a bit out of reach for players.

Rather than leaving it in the warehouse to mold, it would be more cost-effective to sell it to a bookstore in exchange for some gold coins.

Of course, it is impossible for players at this time to understand the value of these books.

Take the summoned mythical beast of the Taoist profession as an example. It is said that at its peak, this thing was sold for several thousand yuan per copy. That was several thousand yuan at the beginning of the century!

However, Chen Li only heard about this news. In his memory, he had seen a real transaction of summoned mythical beasts for 600 yuan a copy.

At that time, one of Chen Li's classmates used his living expenses to buy a dog book, but the guy didn't lose money. It is said that this guy later became prosperous in the game by relying on the skill book of Summoning Divine Beasts.

The equipment was sold for thousands of dollars.

This is data that Chen Li has a clear understanding of. Although it is nothing compared to the equipment in some online games that cost hundreds of thousands or even millions a piece in later years, at the beginning of the century, even buying a copy for 600 yuan

The skill book in the game is definitely something incredible.

And now, Chen Li has directly purchased the advanced skill books sold by other players in the store. I have to say that this is actually an advantage of rebirth!

At that time, Chen Li even felt that even if he had no system in his life, he would not even have any big future.

I guess just by relying on some foresight in some games, at least I can have enough food and clothing!
