Chapter 206: Sixth Stage Achieved
"Now let's discuss how to solve this trouble of Honghuang. If we let them continue to make trouble like this, our annual exclusive release will definitely be affected."
Juying branch, conference room.
Carter has gathered a group of senior executives and is holding a meeting.
After this period of publicity and promotion, they gradually discovered that Honghuang had become an existence that they could not ignore.
Especially the new game called "Red Dead Redemption", which seriously threatened their annual exclusive status and made them a laughing stock among players.
If this continues.
The game will inevitably be suppressed by the annual exclusives of the other two console platforms and lose in next year's market competition.
"In fact, it wouldn't be a big deal if there was only one Honghuang Studio, but Suo Ni and Ren Tiandi have been keeping an eye on us. Once we make a big move, they will definitely follow suit."
A senior executive below said angrily.
"Yeah, if it weren't for the checks and balances between the two companies, when would it be the turn of a small studio like this to be so arrogant?"
"He is nothing more than a clown who relies on his local fame."
Even now, these arrogant guys still blamed all the failures on others and started cursing.
Carter, who was sitting in the first position, had a gloomy look on his face and looked unhappy.
He knew that if he failed to do well in this annual exclusive, his position would be over.
Competitors at the headquarters will definitely not allow him to continue sitting here, and the board of directors will certainly have doubts about his ability to get things done.
This matter must be resolved as soon as possible!
Otherwise his career would be over.
Finally, Carter made up his mind and his eyes became sharp.
"I……"
"Director, something terrible has happened!"
Bang!
The door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, interrupting the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
An employee hurried in from outside holding a report.
Carter and a group of other senior executives frowned and looked at the person who came.
"Didn't I tell you to knock before coming in?"
"You'd better give me a reasonable explanation!"
Carter stared at the visitor with a hostile look on his face, as if he was going to get angry if he couldn't come up with a satisfactory answer.
The employee's face changed, and he hurriedly ran over to hand over the information: "It's Honghuang, Honghuang's new game... They just announced the sales! 3 million!... 3 million sales on the first day!"
Incoherent voices echoed in the conference room.
Carter and a group of senior executives were stunned for a moment, then their eyes widened.
"What did you say!? 3 million??"
Carter stood up suddenly and stared at the employee.
Then he thought of something and quickly picked up the information to take a look. He froze in place, his face full of disbelief.
"This is impossible!"
This was his only thought at the moment, and his arms were shaking slightly.
3 million, and that’s the first day sales.
Even though their Xbox platform has never appeared!
With such a terrifying result, let alone the annual exclusive, it is more than enough to be used as a version escort masterpiece, and it can even beat the other two platforms!
He actually... gave up such a game himself! ?
Bang!
Carter stumbled and fell back into his chair, as if he had lost his soul.
It should have been his.
This achievement should have belonged to him!
3 million sales on the first day! If he could achieve this result, he might even become the general manager of the Asia region!
But now...
Gradually.
Carter clenched his fists and his expression became ferocious.
The senior executives below were shocked and stunned by the exaggerated data.
After repeated confirmation, someone finally said, "Director, we can't hesitate any longer. This game has seriously affected our annual exclusive release plan for next year!"
"Yes, we must take action as soon as possible!"
"We can't let the prehistoric world continue to develop!"
Yes!
They have truly felt the threat from the primitive world.
And it’s a threat specifically aimed at them!
At this point it is almost impossible to salvage the situation, so all they can do is eliminate this threat.
Otherwise, their plan to seize the Asian market will be completely ruined.
"Do you have any good ideas?" Carter looked up.
"Honghuang has already taken precautions against us, and there is no shortage of funds. Ordinary means are useless to them. That is the only way without causing any serious damage." A senior executive nearby suggested.
Carter and the others were shocked when they heard this: "You mean... Black..."
He didn't say it explicitly, but he knew what the other party meant.
He was planning to find someone to hack into Honghuang's system, steal or even destroy their core files!
This method is unscrupulous.
But it is the most effective and resource-saving method.
As long as they do it cleanly enough and don't let anyone find out, they can destroy Honghuang's new game without even a trace.
At least it is easy to postpone the launch.
What others don’t know is that as a company that started out as a computer desktop and hardware company, their technology in that area had already reached a very advanced level.
Even if you can't break through the security protection of those big companies.
It is easy to break into a new studio like Honghuang.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. Remember not to leave any traces."
For the sake of his career, Carter finally made a decision.
"Leave it to me, I will make sure they can't continue."
"I'll wait for your good news. Let's adjourn."
A meeting ends here.
Everyone stood up and hurriedly left the meeting room to learn about and deal with matters related to Honghuang Xinyou.
But they don't know.
At this time, a new thing had just been acquired in the prehistoric world.
…
[Wealth value reaches 2 billion, million-selling game (10/10), the sixth stage is achieved. 】
【Reward: Universal Network Firewall】
[Phase 7: Game wealth value (2 billion/3 billion), 5 million sales games (4/7 titles)]
【Reward: Game Intelligent AI Program】
After several months.
The long-lost reminder sounded in Chen Lin’s mind.
The strong performance of "Red Dead Redemption" finally made his wealth break through 2 billion in one fell swoop, and he has just reached 10 games that have sold millions of copies.
Right now.
He has basically confirmed it.
The rewards given by this CG system are all for game assistance.
From the initial engine, to VR and AR, to today's servers and firewalls, they are all closely related to the game. Even the unlocking method requires game wealth and game sales.
It’s even more outrageous now.
The reward for the seventh stage is actually the game’s intelligent AI program!
This is a good thing, but I don’t know how smart it is.
“Do you want 7 models with 5 million sales?”
Chen Lin muttered to himself as he looked at the system interface.
The three stand-alone games that have achieved sales of over 5 million are Monster Hunter, It Takes Two, and Human: Fall Flat.
There is no need to say much about Monster Hunter, as it was released the earliest and has now sold 8 million copies.
Two People Makes a Trip relied on the advantage of being one of the first to log on to all PC and host platforms, as well as its profound intention, and thus became the latecomer to surpass the competition.
Human: Fall Flat has become their biggest sales dark horse due to its creative workshop and extremely low price, and is even showing a trend of catching up with Monster Hunter.
The sales of the remaining three games, Sekiro, Need for Speed, and Resident Evil, have exceeded 3 million.
If time is extended a little longer, there is still a chance to reach 5 million.
Not to mention the cousin, a top player with tens of millions of sales.
And because of the global promotion of the Steam platform, overseas sales have increased much more rapidly than other games.
" So , the extra model is DNF?"
The interface shows that he now has four games that meet the requirements, and it seems that Dungeon Fighter is also included.
The number of online game consumers is also regarded as sales volume!
This is good news.
In other words, apart from Big Cousin, he only needs two games with sales of 5 million to achieve his goal.
but.
There are more important things to do right now.
Thinking of this, Chen Lin closed the interface, picked up the phone on the table and called Lao Song.
"Lao Song, come to my office for a moment. I have a new firewall program for you."
…
In the giant hard branch, in a dark room.
"How? Can we hack into their information database?"
Carter stood in front of the computer, watching the people in front of him operate quickly, and strings of numbers flashed across the screen.
"Of course, this level of defense can't stop us. We have bypassed all interception programs and will be able to enter their database in a few minutes."
The people sitting in front of the computer said this confidently, with an expression that showed they were sure of winning.
This most common protection procedure may be a bit difficult for other novices, but for these top technicians, it is just a matter of time.
Carter and several senior executives nearby breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again on their faces.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened!
The computer, which was originally filled with numbers, suddenly turned completely red and sounded an urgent warning.
Drop! Drop! Drop! …
The flickering light instantly turned the entire small room red.
"What happened? Why did it fail?!"
"This is impossible! He was fine just now!"
"WTF?? What is going on?"
Several people in front of the computer screamed in surprise and stood up from their seats.
They had no time to operate at all, and their intrusion program was completely interrupted and pushed back.
One computer even went straight to a black screen and lost connection.
Failed.
Even though they possessed top-notch technology, they actually failed in the invasion!
Everyone stared blankly at the computer screen which had turned into garbled characters, with their smug expressions completely gone from their faces.
Not to mention those guys who were so confident just now.
His expression was as ugly as if he had eaten an S.
…
"What a pity. This program can only be used for defense. Otherwise, I would have to follow the network cable to find them out."
In the Honghuang studio, Lao Song looked at the attacks that had just been intercepted with regret.
He also didn't expect that he would be attacked on such a large scale just after installing a new network protection program.
If it had happened before, he might not have been able to stop it, resulting in information leakage, which made him feel both scared and fortunate.
With this protection program, the security issues that have been plaguing them have finally been solved, and it can also improve their ability to detect online game plug-ins.
"Boss Song, this program is really powerful! Where did you get it from?"
The employee from the network security department looked up and asked excitedly.
"Mr. Chen gave it to me. He said it was custom-made at a high price. If it works well, install it on all the equipment right away. We can't be careless about this."
"Okay!"
The employee responded and started working again.
Old Song turned around and left, called Old Li, and went to discuss something with Chen Lin who was enjoying the breeze on the balcony.
The situation has now stabilized.
It's time to decide on the next plan.
