Reborn 2005: The Internet Myth

Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people in the Internet cafe, Wang Zheng found a deserted corner, plugged in the USB flash drive, and looked for suitable projects.

Web games, this one is not good, there is no good server, and the workload of modification and compilation is not small. Wang Zheng cannot say that he knows nothing about programming, he can only say that he knows nothing.

E-commerce, this is not possible, there are no channels.

Private server, this won't work, it's illegal... No, this seems to work!

The so-called private server refers to a game server set up by a private person. It is essentially a kind of piracy. Operating without legal permission is inherently a criminal act. Both "Legend" and "Miracle MU" are on the market.

There are a huge number of private servers, which are endless.

Pirated copies are called private servers, so if I can't find anyone to pirate them from...does that mean this is the genuine version?

After searching on the Internet, Wang Zheng learned that if a game wants to be listed and operated normally, it needs an Internet Culture Business License from the Ministry of Culture, a software copyright certificate from the Copyright Bureau, an ICP certificate from the Industry and Information Technology Bureau, and an ICP certificate from the General Administration of Press and Publication.

The game version number and the game registration from the Ministry of Culture are indispensable. And these certificates... It's hard to say whether they will be issued in half a year, let alone his total assets are only 120 yuan.

As a side note, I can just operate it within the LAN of an Internet cafe. Although there are few players, it also has low server requirements.

These certificates... I will definitely make up for it when I have money later.

There are a lot of private servers in Wang Zheng's USB flash drive. This is not a project requirement, but a way to earn some extra money by occasionally doing some private work and selling some servers to Internet cafe owners who are in need and have a certain "strength".

Install an Internet cafe for private use to attract popularity.

"Legend", "Miracle MU", "Fantasy Westward Journey" and the like will definitely not work, mainly because the target is too big and too punishing. "RO", "MapleStory", "Hot Blooded Jianghu", "Zhu Xian" will not work either

In Taihang, there are not many people playing in Internet cafes, so it is difficult to attract people.

After looking around, I selected my target.

"Shocking Earth", it's you!

This game perfectly meets Wang Zheng's various needs. First, the graphics are stunning, the female characters are pretty, the moves are cool, and the computers in Feiyang Internet Cafe can be used, which is enough to attract people. Secondly,

, which has extremely low server requirements.

This game was developed by a well-established software company in Bangkok, and it is no surprise that it is currently under development. This company is very good at making application software, but it made the same mistake as its predecessors in developing games - putting the numerical calculation of the game on the customer.

end.

In Bang Country, they were able to rely on a relatively pure game environment to achieve unparalleled results, but when the game came to Daxia... well, the players in Daxia are very enthusiastic and have high IQs.

As a result, "Shocking" became popular much faster than its predecessors "Legend" and "Miracle". Before many people even knew about this game, it had already been destroyed by cheaters.

Another decisive factor in deciding to choose this game is that it does not have an official server. The real official server will not be available in China until at least the end of 2006, so even if it is really investigated, it will be operating without a license at most and will be banned.

It's just a fine, not a prison sentence. And at that time, if Wang Zheng can't fill this hole, then he'd better be destroyed quickly, he doesn't deserve it.

Of course, it is precisely because this game places almost all numerical calculations on the client that the game server has extremely low requirements for the server. To be honest, fifteen years later, you can install a server on your mobile phone.

Fifty people are online at the same time.

After choosing his next target, Wang Zheng checked a lot of information, then turned off the computer and considered the most urgent matter at the moment - finding a cheap place to live!

Although he is a shareholder, he cannot stay in the Internet cafe every day. Not to mention the problem of washing up, the strange smell alone is enough.

It was the morning and it was not the weekend, so there were not many guests. Wang Zheng was sitting on the sofa, feeling a little worried. He had no memory of living in Nandu City in his mind, and he had no idea why he was stranded here.

It’s not amnesia, it’s just that I can’t remember it. The surroundings are so unfamiliar that I don’t know which direction to look for when looking for a house.

"Brother Zheng, what are you thinking about?"

A short-legged afro suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, which frightened Wang Zheng so he tactically leaned back and said angrily: "Where do you want to sleep tonight?"

Chen Xin was sitting at the bar, listening carefully, and asked strangely: "Old Wang, do you have no place to live?"

"I've been going back too late recently, which kept the landlord in bed, so I'm moving out today."

"You told me earlier. You can live with Tongtong. It's close to the Internet cafe, just behind the wall."

Lao Wang was stunned for a moment and looked at the short-legged boy. He was not embarrassed at all and nodded seriously. At that time, he was a little confused: Is he so open-minded?

When Chen Xin saw it, he knew that Wang Zheng was thinking too much and couldn't laugh or cry: "Hey, hey, don't think about it. It's a staff dormitory. There are three rooms. It turns out that one of the cashiers resigned, and now Tongtong lives alone."

I see.

"What do you mean by thinking nonsense? I am very serious." Wang Zheng said harshly. His thoughts were very pure, but his body could not withstand the test.

The little short-legged boy was also very happy: "Brother Zheng, you can live in the room next to mine. I'll go back and clean up for you." After saying that, he ran away.

Chen Xin came over with a teapot and sat on the sofa, explaining: "Tongtong is a bit timid and is scared to live alone, so she asked me to find another cashier to change her shift. It's just right for you to move in, but don't bully her."

Ah, that’s my distant cousin’s child.”

Wang Zheng rolled his eyes at him and emphasized again: "I am a gentleman!"

Without waiting for Chen Xin to say anything else, he changed the subject directly: "Do you know any hardware vendors? We have to buy a server. The cash register machine is not very configured, and the hard drive will be full soon."

Chen Xin also knew some computer knowledge, and the situation was indeed urgent now. He took out his mobile phone and said: "My sister-in-law knows me. I'll give her a call. She can get these things on credit."

"Hey, sister-in-law, please ask the boss Song who installed the computers last time to come to my place. I need to add a server here."

"What configuration do you need? Wait a minute..." With a look, Wang Zheng immediately took paper and pen from the bar and wrote down the requirements for 2G memory and four 80G hard drives, as well as a pair of speakers and an amplifier.

After asking him to retell the past, Chen Xin was quiet for a while. I didn’t know what was said on the other end of the phone. Chen Xin suddenly said in shock: "9300! Sister, why is it so expensive?"

"Okay, I understand. Then, sister-in-law, please help me bring it here. I need it here urgently. I will pay Lao Song the bill at the end of the month."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xin sighed and said with a sad face: "The price of hardware has increased again, ugh."

"What are you afraid of if you can make money back? By the way, what does your sister-in-law do?"

"I also own an Internet cafe, but she has been running it for several years. I also relied on her help to open this Internet cafe."

After chatting for a while, a pleasant voice suddenly came from outside the door: "New baby, come out and move the machine!"

When Chen Xin heard this, he immediately called Wang Zheng out of the door and saw the protagonist of the voice.

Wang Zheng felt as if his heartbeat stopped for half a second, no more, no less, just right.

In his memory, this feeling did not appear often, mostly in movies and TV series, such as when he saw Yifei, Yuanyuan, Reba, Nazha, Zuer, etc.

Oops! It’s a heart-pounding feeling!
