Rebirth of the Evil Life

The report on the number of online users of the Pangu system published by the Second World gave the Western media an excuse to attack Lin Feng. Originally, this kind of thing should be an attack on the company Second World, not an attack on individuals. But the Western media did not mention the Second World at all, but only Lin Feng.

Lin Feng is finished! Lin Feng's stupidest decision! Lin Feng will go to extinction! Lin Feng's Waterloo! ..

Wait, all kinds of remarks were exaggerated on paper, and they were heard endlessly. These Western eyebrows wanted to write Lin Feng to death with their pens, so that this unruly Oriental man would receive the lesson and punishment he deserved.

Beijing time, January 1, 2006, at 15:00 p.m., the number of online users of the Pangu system dropped to 1.7 million.

At 16:00 p.m., the number of online users of the Pangu system dropped to 1 million.

At 17:00 p.m., the number of online users of the Pangu system was only 278,452.

According to this decline, it is likely that within three days, the number of online users of the Pangu system will drop below 10,000, and it will completely become an operating system used by a niche audience. Although the outside world does not know how much financial resources the Second World has invested in the Pangu system, according to the news released by the Second World, the Pangu system has more than 1,200 development engineers. According to the industry average annual salary of 200,000 RMB for system engineers, the salary alone cost 240 million RMB that year. This development took three years. Even if there were not so many engineers in the first two years, the salary alone would have cost at least 400 million RMB in three years. And this does not include the related hardware investment, customer service investment, etc. If calculated, the Second World has spent at least 500 million RMB in these three years.

Although the expenditure of 500 million RMB is nothing for the Second World, which has a net profit of more than 7 billion US dollars a year, it represents a stain. A stain that the Second World will only make profits and not lose money. This directly led to the decline in stock prices.

Fortunately, The Second World is a big company with no rivals in the gaming industry, which keeps investors confident. But the confidence in Lin Feng's invincibility began to waver and even disintegrate. It turns out that such a man can also fail and make stupid decisions. The shattering of this belief is probably fatal to the Second World and Lin Feng. A boss with an invincible aura is the most troublesome and feared thing for all companies. Because when your opponent is always a boss with an "invincible aura", no matter what you do, it's useless. In the end, they can always make a comeback. This is most obvious in the investment market.

Fortunately, Lin Feng finally lost this time. And he lost miserably. It's worth celebrating! Many Western companies breathed a sigh of relief. It's time to end the legend of Lin Feng. Just when many Western companies were gearing up, the bell rang at 18:00 on January 1, 2006, Beijing time.

The Second World announced that the number of users of the Pangu system was 278,452.

It was the same as the number at 17 o'clock, and it did not continue to decline. This caused a slight surprise to many demand-side companies, but they did not care. Especially Steve Ballmer, he did not take this data seriously. The number of users of Microsoft's various systems worldwide has exceeded 430 million (including N98, XP and STA). If users of various pirated software are included, the number of Microsoft's global users is conservatively estimated to exceed 2 billion.

There are 2 billion on his side, and only 200,000 on Lin Feng's side. The gap is as high as a thousand times, which is an insurmountable gap. In Steve Ballmer's view, these people are probably all Chinese who are supporting Lin Feng. However, doesn't China have 1.3 billion people and more than 200 million computers? How come there are only more than 200,000 people using the Pangu system? Doesn't this itself explain a lot of things! Steve Ballmer laughed.

Amidst Steve Ballmer's laughter, 'Second World' announced one more thing - World War is reopening.

After the system of World War was fully upgraded, it entered the 'hot weapon era' and opened the 'First World War' copy, and then it was reopened! This is a very important news for the IT industry. Although World War is just a game, when its registered players exceed 700 million worldwide and the number of online players reaches 100 million, it is no longer just a game. The reopening of this game is of great significance to the entire IT industry.

After the reopening, will World War continue to be glorious, or will it lose its glory? Everyone cursed that World War would collapse and disintegrate. It's simple. World War has almost robbed all the players. Except for some players who are extremely focused on a certain type of game, all players are attracted by World War. The craze of World War is not limited to those traditional players. Even some white-collar workers who don't play games will go in and play a few games. Especially in Europe and the United States, almost every computer has a client of World War.

Before today, "World War" has always been in the era of cold weapons. The so-called "world war" has never happened except between several neighboring countries. For example, if Europe wants to fight to Asia, it is not convenient for other European countries except Russia. And due to the particularity of the game, a country with a small population can't beat a country with a large population. Even if various tactics and advanced equipment are used, the country with an absolute advantage in numbers will be eliminated by human wave tactics. After all, there are almost no cowards in the game, and no one is afraid of death. Such a crazy impact will make the country with a small population suffer too much.

But it is completely different in the "hot weapon era". The emergence of hot weapons has completely lost the advantage of human wave tactics. As long as one side has an advantage in technology, no matter how many people the other side has, they will only be slaughtered. It's like one side has set up a machine gun position, and no matter how many people the other side charges, they will only be slaughtered. And they will not break through the position. Unless tanks and other motorized troops are used.

Moreover, the emergence of various advanced means of transportation has also made national wars easier. Trains. The emergence of cars and airplanes will make it easy for war to spread from local to global.

The war has begun! ——All players are ready to fight.

At the moment of the server opening. More than 300 million people around the world have logged into "World War". After logging in, all players were excited. Sure enough, everything is different. All the previous cold weapons have been replaced with various weapons from the First World War, and the system defaults to equipping all countries with the same equipment and weapons, as well as processing plants. At this moment, all countries are equal.

The war was ignited at this moment. Originally in the era of cold weapons. "World War" has always been a war between neighboring countries, and everyone has long forged a blood feud. However, due to the limitations of the cold weapon era, the war cannot be expanded. Now there are trains, cars, airplanes, cannons, and ships. Then naturally, the enemy must be completely eliminated.

What's more, the "World War I copy" has already divided the world pattern. The Axis powers led by Germany and the Allies led by Britain are already hostile. And all national players log in to the game for the first time. Then I received a dialog box confirmation message from the system - confirm whether it is the Axis Powers or the Allies.

All the players shouted excitedly, and after upgrading their guns, they began to rush to the border frantically.

Everyone knew that a great era that would make all men excited was coming. Would the Axis Powers unify the world, or would the Allies save the world? At this moment, no one knew. But all the players knew one thing, that they had to experience this great era, to show their manliness in the hail of bullets, and to leave their own mark in this passionate era.

But at this moment, a large number of players found that the system began to freeze. Especially as the number of people increased, the game became more and more stuck. And once the players on the screen collectively opened fire, the game almost crashed. As for the players driving tanks, planes, and ships to conduct three-dimensional sea, land, and air operations, it was even more stuck. It was moving at a speed of almost one frame per second.

"What the hell is this!" All the players shouted. For this kind of first-person shooter game, the most important thing is to be smooth, and the second is that the picture should at least be acceptable, not too bad. Of course, if you have to choose between the two, smoothness is the first.

But now that the game is stuck, you can just go and make instant noodles. What's the point of playing this game!

The customer service of "Second World" was bombarded again, and they all asked why "World War" was so stuck. You know, in the era of cold weapons, although it would be stuck, it would not be so stuck. In the war of the cold weapon era, after using the blur setting, players can maintain the smoothness of the game while sacrificing most of the screen. As a result, now it is stuck and can't move at all. What's the use of upgrading this game?

"Haha, is Lin Feng really confused? Challenging our "Microsoft" is an extremely confused decision. Now he even makes mistakes in the game. He is hopeless! I think "Second World" is going to decline!" Steve Ballmer laughed wildly, mocking Lin Feng's stupidity.

Bill Gates frowned. He felt that things were not that simple. For such a stuck game, Lin Feng would not fail to conduct internal testing. He couldn't have anticipated this situation. Wait, is it related to the "Pangu System"! Bill Gates' forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"Did Lin Feng delete the 'Pangu system'?" Bill Gates suddenly shouted.

Steve Ballmer was stunned, "Bill, this broken system, I deleted it long ago after reading it!"

"What! Damn!" Bill Gates said, and rushed directly to the system testing department. After rushing in, he shouted, "Who still has the 'Pangu system' in their computer?"

All the employees were stunned, not knowing what Bill Gates meant.

"Who still has the 'Pangu system', start it immediately!" Bill Gates shouted.

The employees still did not move. They were afraid that Bill Gates would settle accounts with them. After all, Steve Ballmer had just issued an order that all employees of the company were not allowed to install Lin Feng's 'Pangu system'. Who would dare to go against the wind and commit crimes? Of course, some people did not delete it, but they did not dare to admit it at this time.

"Bill, what happened?" Steve Ballmer chased after him breathlessly.

Bill Gates ignored Steve Ballmer.

"Whoever has the 'Pangu System' in their computer? If so, start it immediately and enter "War of the Worlds"!" Bill Gates yelled.

This time, an engineer finally saw that Bill Gates was not setting a trap. He raised his hand and said that he still had the "Pangu System" on his computer that had not been deleted.

Steve Ballmer frowned and glared at the engineer.

"Didn't I expressly stipulate that no one is allowed to keep the 'Pangu System'? Why do you still have it! Now, you go to the accounting department to calculate wages!" Steve Ballmer shouted angrily.

Several engineers around him breathed a sigh of relief. They also have it on their computers, but they didn’t raise their hands just now. Now it seems that he is indeed wise for once. This second-rate guy is out of luck right now.

"Steve Ballmer, shut up! And you, start the 'Pangu System' quickly, the company will never fire you! If you are fast enough, you still have merit!" Bill Gates turned his head He yelled at Steve Ballmer, then rushed to the engineer and asked him to start the 'Pangu System' quickly.

The engineer was a little confused and didn't know what was going on.

Bill Gates was anxious, so he pulled the employee away, sat on it himself, retrieved the 'Pangu System' from the system, and restarted it. After 20 seconds, the ‘Pangu System’ started. Immediately, he entered the game menu bar and clicked "World War" directly.

"Account number, password!" Bill Gates asked eagerly. He doesn't like playing overly exciting first-person shooting games like "War of the Worlds", so he doesn't have an account.

"Oh!" The engineer, who still didn't know whether he was dead or alive, lost his account and password in a daze.

Enter, OK, enter!

"UK!" Bill Gates slammed the keyboard and cursed.

"Bill, what the hell is going on?" Steve Ballmer also recovered from being scolded by Bill Gates and couldn't help but swear.

Bill Gates is the spiritual leader of the company, and he belongs to the company. This has been agreed by both parties long ago. As a result, Bill Gates is here today and is bastardizing himself, insulting himself in public. What do they mean?

"Steve, what do you mean? See for yourself! Do you know that you almost ruined something big?" Bill Gates grabbed Steve Ballmer's collar and pulled him to the computer screen. This idiot has been making "Microsoft" make mistakes, and this time the accusation may make "Microsoft" make an irredeemable mistake. If Bill Gates hadn't wanted to live a leisurely life, Steve Ballmer would never have been in charge of Microsoft for so many years. During this period, Steve Ballmer made many mistakes, especially the most important mistake of missing the Internet. However, Bill Gates believed that Microsoft was strong and technologically advanced, so he was not worried.

But now, he felt he was wrong. Because this guy Lin Feng will be Microsoft's biggest enemy.

what happened? Steve Ballmer stared blankly at the computer screen. On it, "War of the Worlds" was running very smoothly! On the side, "World War" logged in using the 'Microsoft' system was stuck to death.

Steve Ballmer's face turned pale instantly!

Something bad is happening! (To be continued)
