Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

In order to write this chapter, I played StarCraft and World of Warcraft again, and also opened a few computer games~~~

My heart is so tired~~~

Thanks again to the readers of Jiange, Linmaya, Inca Zuma, Ma Yingjun, and H Water Spy for their rewards.

{Time: February 9-February 11, 2004}

{Location: Irvine, California}

It was noon. Sitting in a restaurant not far from the headquarters of Glass Slag, Zhang Miaoying's slightly absent-minded look while eating had already caught Ning Zimo's attention.

After thinking about her "fan" persona when she faced the three founders of Glass Slag this morning, Ning Zimo understood what she was doubting.

"Why, you feel very strange about my performance this morning. Are you wondering why I acquired them but allowed them to develop?"

Zhang Miaoying raised her head and looked over after hearing this. From her raised eyebrows, Ning Zimo could easily see some surprise.

Ning Zi smiled silently, "You were able to pretend, and your expression remained normal while I was talking to them."

Zhang Miaoying tilted her head slightly and said, "Because I watched from the sidelines for a long time, and I always felt that there seemed to be some hidden intention behind your behavior."

Different from Li Ying's innate temperament of a royal sister, Zhang Miaoying is a young girl with a girlish atmosphere. Although she doesn't know what the head-turning killing is, her current appearance is fully attractive.

Fortunately, Ning Zimo only looked at it for half a second before reacting. For being distracted at this moment, he could only blame Sima Lin for suddenly appearing this time, which rekindled a certain thought in his heart.

Now, the Spring Festival of 2003 has passed, and the day when she will come to the Special Administrative Region is getting closer.

Hey, I got distracted!

Being stared at by the cute Zhang Miaoying, Ning Zimo quickly drank water to relieve the embarrassment of being distracted.

Putting down the cup, Ning Zimo said, "It is impossible not to intervene, especially how the glass slag battle network system integrates with the battle network system of the wegame platform. This is what must be achieved."

In the previous life, Glass Slag was indeed great, but he also made various mistakes in missing out on the e-sports ecosystem and the "Dota" series. However, in his previous life, after entering 2010, the game industry flourished, causing the innovation problems of Glass Slag to be eliminated by other emerging games.

The manufacturer covers it up.

In this life, Glass Slag has been acquired by me. If I don't intervene but let it develop, then Glass Slag will not be any better than it was in the previous life after it was merged into Activision Blizzard.

"But I have always had a clear positioning for myself. At least right now after acquiring Glass Slag, I am still just a 'layman' in the gaming industry. At least, this is still the case in the eyes of the three co-founders of Glass Slag.

Therefore, I, a young shareholder who has no experience in the industry except for money, stand in front of a ‘behemoth’ like Glass Slag that has succeeded several times. It is obviously unrealistic to forcefully promote something.”

Unlike the talented people in the Internet or software industry around me, like the future Iron Man of Silicon Valley - Elon Musk, the reason why I can get his respect and recognition is because of the foundation laid while working at Billion times.

.But in the game industry, apart from money, I have no basis to be convinced by others.

"The Glass Slag team has been on the road to success since its development in 1997. Those successes will continue to strengthen the self-confidence of each member of the team. A person who continues to succeed and accumulate confident people will not

When you are in the process of climbing up, it is easy to listen to the opinions of an inexperienced person. Even if this person is very rich."

Ning Zimo put down his knife and fork, with a hint of disdain for the pasta in front of him.

He took this time to understand Zhang Miaoying for a while. When she looked up, Ning Zimo shrugged and continued:

"I can't always say, hey guys. I'm the founder of skrpe software that built a software with nearly 110 million users in 18 months, and I successfully sold it for 5.6 billion.

I think even then, they'd probably just say, 'Hey, man, you sound awesome!'"

Zhang Miaoying almost laughed out loud. She felt that the expression of approval mixed with disdain just now by her boss was so vivid.

In order to ease the embarrassment, Zhang Miaoying hurriedly asked, "Master, what are you going to do?"

"Shanren has his own clever plan," Ning Zi rubbed his chin silently, paused for a moment before raising an eyebrow at Zhang Miaoying, "You have been living nearby in the past few days, waiting for me to find a way to implement the cooperation between Glass Slag and Wegame. As for

As for my work these days, I’m still busy with the licensing of Lego.”

When Zhang Miaoying nodded in agreement, the corners of her mouth curled up as she tried not to laugh out loud.

Because, if the boss's action of stroking his chin is paired with a set of crane cloak scarves and a bit of goatee, he will really have that fairy-like feeling.

***+***

"The lurkers spread out, the flying dragons are behind you... My God, why is there a transport plane and a lightning matrix again? You should get out of the way..."

Ning Zimo couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard the crackling sound of lightning in the earphones, which caused a cry from the other side.

But this expression can only exist in his mind, because the mouse and keyboard in his hands are still busy operating the protoss army to disrupt the opponent's ground attack.

After arriving at Glass Reggers on the 9th, the afternoon of the first day was spent in a tour and introduction. Many people in Glass Reggers met his young major shareholder.

Of course, this is the first impression he has on most Glass Slag employees. But this first impression is very important. Ning Zimo took advantage of this wave of freshness and spent a lot of time on Glass Slag starting from the 10th.

In the scumbag's entertainment room.

The "Carry Away, Next" cup officially kicked off. The two games "StarCraft" and "Warcraft" showed that they would fight against each other and use the most arrogant way to break into the glass slag. If this exciting

Zhang Miaoying would definitely be stunned when she saw the strategy, but she had been busy licensing Lego these days and had no chance.

Then, Ning Zimo felt more and more like Alsace, waiting on the Frozen Throne for various conquests after CD after CD.

At the beginning, the young and daring engineers came up to test it out with a playful attitude. But after they beat him hard and hit 8 people in succession, the masters who finally had glass shards couldn't sit still.

.

"That young major shareholder has something, it feels even more powerful than grrr!"

"Bah, you are just a dish."

There are many people in e-sports who refuse to give up and come to compete. Since some people use the name grrr to promote themselves, it can only attract more challengers.

Fortunately, my own skills are not limited. The level of battle in the game "StarCraft" has been experienced with two professional players, King and Dby. I still maintain a 100% record against these two players.

The winning rate. Therefore, his endless tricks have made the engineers like Glass Slag lose their sights one after another.

Today is only the second day, and on both sides of the battle computer in the entertainment room, a group of people are standing behind their current opponent, Mickey Nelson, the leader of the CG animation team, known as the first Zerg master in "StarCraft", cheering him on.

Just now, children's tricks like peeking into the screen were used, and there was no trace of the "chivalry" promoted from the beginning.

So Ning Zimo was no longer merciful and commanded a bunch of transport planes copied by the high-level Templars to rush into the heavily fortified Mickey base. Before a group of phantoms were blown up, two dark archons had quietly stolen Mickey.

Nelson's two worker bees!

"Shit, Mickey Ning stole two of your worker bees!"

Hearing the exclamation of "Thunder God" Chris Mason behind him, Ning Zimo wanted to roll his eyes.

It was him who just peeked at the screen!

So blatant!

Do you want to show some face?

Ning Zimo was too lazy to step on Chris again. Anyway, he had done this kind of thing a lot just now. He could only use the pirate ship's splitting net and the high-level templar's lightning matrix to withstand Mickey's overwhelming puppies.

+Feilonghai.

Then silently open the base and upgrade the Zerg technology until another 10 minutes have passed. Amid everyone's exclamations, overwhelming guardians + pirate ships appeared in Mickey Nelson's base.

Mickey Nelson finally hits gg.

Ning Zimo pointed at the screen and said, "If f2 can select all combat arms, I can just f2a. It's a pity. I think the next version can set up such a quick selection key for combat arms. At least for this kind of use."

It is very useful in competitions where there is a huge disparity in strength.”

After saying that, Ning Zimo raised his chin and shouted to the people opposite:

"Carry it away, next one!"

Mickey Nelson, who had just stood up, was so angry when he heard Ning Zimo's simple words, "Ning, wait, I want to find someone!"

However, after hearing this, Bob Fitch and Robert Pardo, who were looking at the screen behind Ning Zimo, couldn't help but nodded, "This is a good idea. We can do it in the future."

Add it to the version."

Speaking of which, the enthusiastic Bob Fitch is also a powerful character. In the previous life, when most of the staff of Glass Slag were temporarily transferred to assist in the development of "Diablo", he single-handedly handled most of the development work of the new engine of "StarCraft".

Ning Zimo remembered that Bob had a good friend - Patrick Wyatt. The two of them had worked together since the development of "Warcraft". It is said that the first online battle of "Warcraft" in history took place here.

After two programmers completed a related online battle for the first time.

As early as the development of "Warcraft", it was Patrick who thought of and implemented the typical operation mode of selecting units by dragging the mouse. Therefore, the pathfinding algorithm of the units in "StarCraft" was written and implemented by him. However, Patrick

In 2000, he left Glass Slag and founded Arena Company, which launched the "Guild Wars" series of games.

And the Robert behind him is even more famous. In his previous life, he served as the chief designer on "StarCraft: Brood War", "Warcraft 3" and expansion packs, "World of Warcraft" and "The Burning Crusade".

"Well-known to players in the film, he later became the chief creative officer and vice president of game design of Glass Slag.

In his previous life, in 2006, he was listed among the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine because of "World of Warcraft". This group of people is at the Glass Slag headquarters. Here, just drop the mouse at the Glass Slag headquarters.

You will hit the magical place of a master.

When the information about these guys emerged in his mind and combined with the faces beside him, Ning Zimo suddenly had more scattered ideas in his mind. They were like stars in the night sky, and they were gradually being absorbed.

The links are connected. Let the nebula in your mind eventually expand into a larger one and become clearer and clearer!

"Ning, I have thought of a strategy to defeat your twin ghosts in heaven and earth, and I want to challenge you again!"

Just as Ning Zimo's thoughts were getting clearer, a loud voice suddenly sounded in his ears. It was Samwise Didier who lost in the 1v1 match of "Warcraft III" an hour ago.

Killed him again.

Samwise had a confident smile on his face, "Ning, I've thought of a way to deal with you as a ghost in heaven and earth, come again!"

Looking at Samwise's fluffy long hair, Ning Zimo stretched out his fingers and hooked:

"You, come here!"

The crowd that had just watched the game and hadn't had time to separate suddenly separated, making way for Samwise to get to the computer space opposite Ning Zimo. Then the crowd quickly filled the gap, surrounding the two people tightly.

.

In this era where version 1.20e has not yet been updated, there are not many night elf tactics that can deal with the twin ghosts of heaven and earth, but there are too many classic tactics of the undead.

When the game was loaded, I had already thought of a response strategy. After entering the game, when my ghoul detected the opening of Samwise's Watcher, I immediately understood his intentions.

So, 3 minutes later, the Watcher, who took the deer and the huntress out, happened to encounter his death knight and a group of spiders in the center of the map.

"Shit, why aren't you a ghost in heaven and earth?"

"Do you think I'm a robot who only knows the world and the two ghosts?"

The two sides fought for a while while the ghost screamed. Samwise's losses were increasing, while Ning Zimo's spiders were getting more and more.

At the same time, the three books that climbed silently made the third battle come. The level 6 death knight and the level 4 lich brought a large group of spiders and two destroyers, and collided with Samwise's Bear Deer combination.

Samwise's Watcher is like a lone hero who rushes into the spider swarm and releases the sword array with high output, but finds that the consumption of the spider swarm is not as he imagined. He quickly flashes out again, but is stuck by a large group of spiders.

.Xiong De risked his life to save the driver and was slowed down by the Lich's skills, but was beaten up by a big-ass spider.

Although the Druid blew away a few spiders from the back position, it did not have much impact on the battle situation.

So, victory and defeat were seen in one wave.

gg.

Samwise puffed his beard and stood up with eyes wide open, only to find Ning Zimo raising his chin with a "contemptuous" look on his face.

"Do you even listen to Patrick, the defeated general?"

"Carry it away, next one!"
