Chapter 550 I Want to Play with Lin Yuzhen
China Overseas.
He Zeming came to pick us up at the airport.
"Mr. Lu."
Lu Yiming patted He Zeming on the shoulder and asked, "Old He, how is the matter I told you about going?"
He Zeming said: "All Tongxin Internet cafes in Zhonghai have completed the "Legend of Mir 2" theme decoration."
"Come on, show me around."
After leaving the airport, He Zeming took Lu Yiming to Tongxin Internet Cafe, the largest store in Zhonghai.
The decoration style here has not changed much, except that some of the original blank spaces have been replaced with the theme style of Legend of Mir 2, especially the human-shaped billboard at the entrance of the Internet cafe, which is made in a one-to-one ratio with real people.
It has to be said that He Zeming is quite capable. The layout of the entire Internet cafe accurately reproduces some scenes in the game, and it looks like the atmosphere is quite strong.
"Well, the effect is pretty good."
Lu Yiming praised him, and then said, "You go and arrange a few more people to do one thing in the next period of time."
He Zeming asked, "What's the matter?"
Lu Yiming said: "You can go talk to the owners of Internet cafes in Zhonghai one by one, offer free game installation, and ask them to help us sell point cards. We can give them commissions and rebates."
"good."
After inspecting the Internet cafe, Lu Yiming returned to his residence and called the software management office of the Internet cafe, asking them to add "Legend of Mir 2" to the latest version, then push it to all Tongxin Internet cafe stores, and then open registration and download of the Internet cafe management software on the official website.
Of course, putting the game into the Internet cafe system is a basic operation, which is the same as pushing the game to a mobile phone or computer system. Moreover, the computers in the Internet cafe have restoration functions, so things downloaded by users will be gone when the computer is turned off and then restarted. Only things downloaded in the Internet cafe management system can be retained.
However, Li Yiwen found it difficult to understand why the Internet cafe management software was made available for download: "I remember you said that the core competitiveness of Tongxin Internet Cafe is this billing management system. Why is it available for free now?"
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "You know, free things are the most expensive. Before Tongxin Internet Cafe was not developed, of course we had to hide all the good stuff. But now that it has grown, we need to have a vision and tolerance, and we can't be too petty. And my Internet cafe management system is not really free, it's just that I don't charge for it openly."
"Think about it, other people's Internet cafes are equipped with the Jianlai Internet Cafe Management System, which means that their computer desktops are controlled by us. Do you think we are making a profit or a loss?"
Li Yiwen immediately understood the key point: "Isn't this their computer for you to install anything you want? You are just occupying their nest."
The benefits of controlling the user's desktop are too obvious. For example, if Lu Yiming wants to promote "Legend of Mir 2", he can add it directly in the background, and then all computers with management software installed will be automatically forced to install it. In the future, chat software, new games, activities, promotions, etc., can all be put on the backend.
What is this called?
This means your Internet cafe is my Internet cafe, and my Internet cafe is still my Internet cafe.
The country is so big and the demand for Internet access is so great. No matter how awesome Lu Yiming is, it is impossible for him to open an Internet cafe and monopolize the industry.
However, Lu Yiming was the first to develop Internet cafe management software, and he was the most successful. Moreover, Lu Yiming was reborn. He had seen Internet cafe management software 20 years later, and he knew which functions were the most important and what the users needed. The key point was that he applied for a patent after the software was developed. Although patent certificates are like toilet paper these days, there is still a difference between wiping your butt with paper and wiping your butt with your hands. Although it is not very useful, it is indispensable.
Although the Internet cafe management software is free and all Internet cafes can download and install it, and there is even a home version, similar to desktop management and parental mode, Lu Yiming can make a profit by installing and promoting the software - spending less money is equivalent to making money.
"What do you mean by occupying the magpie's nest? I didn't ask them to use it. I'm opening it to them for free. They should be grateful to me."
Baiyun City.
Tongxin Internet Cafe No. 1 Store.
In the e-sports area, Xiao Qinghe and Lu Yiping sat side by side.
Lu Yiping rolled up his sleeves and shouted, "Brothers, we haven't seen each other for half a year. Let's go to StarCraft and play a high-end game."
Xiao Qinghe held a lollipop in his mouth and said incoherently, "Come on, let's play till the end of the night, all night long."
"Good brother."
Neither of them got into any good schools, and they attended a local technical school in Baiyun City, where they basically lived a muddled life.
Just as Lu Yiping was about to call Li Quanwang, he saw Li Quanwang and Gu Zhiruo being affectionate in front of the counter.
"Damn, aren't you two studying at Zhonghai? Are you so annoying at home?"
Xiao Qinghe said unhappily: "It's beyond doubt that Wangzai will be a henpecked husband in the future."
Li Quanwang laughed and scolded: "You are the one who is henpecked. We call this loving! You single dog, you know nothing."
Lu Yiping said to Xiao Qinghe, "Don't talk to people like this who are out of touch with the masses. Hurry up and enter the game."
Xiao Qinghe then turned around and said, "StarCraft all day long is boring. I played a new game called "King of Kings" a few days ago, which is much more fun than StarCraft. You can be promoted to my beloved. Do you understand my beloved?"
While searching for "King of Kings" in the game library, Lu Yiping muttered, "Is it so outrageous? Let me try."
“Then we must try.”
With the help of Xiao Qinghe, Lu Yiping quickly registered "Lord of Kings", and the two began to play the game.
It has to be said that as the first online game from the Xia country to successfully enter the Korean market, "Lord of Kings" does have something interesting, and its unique game system settings have won the favor of players.
"Hey, this game is pretty good. Wangzai, stop smelling sour and come over to play the game."
Li Quanwang shouted, "Here they come."
He came and sat down next to him and quickly entered the game.
“This game is fun.”
Li Quanwang was quickly attracted.
Most of the games Li Quanwang played before were arcade games or competitive games like StarCraft, so the new mode of "Lord of Kings" gave him a great sense of freshness and he was addicted to it at once.
This game uses a real-time combat and supply setting. The battle is full of variables depending on the player's choice of profession and weapons and equipment. Some special skills can cause damage to multiple monsters, and monsters will also have corresponding skills. Monsters will have a stiff period of time after being hit by different weapons and skills.
In addition, there are job transfer systems, punishment systems, trading experiences, and pk systems. These settings are unprecedented for Xiaguo players in this era, and therefore have become a phenomenal game in the history of Xiaguo online games!
You have to know that in Xia Country around 2000, the Internet was not yet popular, there were not many personal computers, and the price of Internet access in Internet cafes was not cheap. However, it took only one month for "Lord of Kings" to reach tens of thousands of people online at the same time, which is enough to show how awesome this game is.
As he played, Li Quanwang became addicted and only stopped when his stomach growled with hunger.
Stretching in his seat, Li Quanwang ordered a few buckets of instant noodles through the mall of the Internet cafe management software.
After a while, the Internet cafe waiter brought over the instant noodles.
While eating instant noodles and watching Xiao Qinghe and Lu Yiping still staring at the computer screen, Li Quanwang suddenly slapped his forehead and yelled, "Damn it, it's broken."
He quickly took out his cell phone and called Lu Yiming: "Something bad has happened, brother. I think your game "Legend of Mir 2" has met its match. Ah Ping, Lao Xiao and I are playing "King of Kings" and we find it very interesting. What should we do?"
On the other end of the phone, Lu Yiming said confidently: "Don't panic, my "Legend of Mir 2" is invincible."
Li Quanwang retorted: "Bullshit, have you ever played that "Lord of Kings"? This game is really fun, and the key is that they started early, you should pay attention to it."
Seeing Li Quanwang so worried, Lu Yiming was touched and said, "Don't worry, I've played King of Kings before, and it's definitely not a match for Legend of Mir 2. I'll send the file to you later, and you can install it and try it yourself, then you'll know who is the strongest."
"All right."
Li Quanwang hung up the phone and received the installation package sent by Lu Yiming on his computer. The game has not been officially released yet, so this is the only way to try it out.
At this time, several people wearing helmets came in. The leader came to the service desk and asked, "Excuse me, is Mr. Li Quanwang here?"
The person at the counter called out to Li Quanwang, "Boss, someone's looking for you."
Li Quanwang stood up and walked to the counter and asked, "What's the matter?"
The man said to Li Quanwang, "You are Mr. Li? I am Zhu Chongliang, you can just call me Aliang. We were asked by Mr. Zhang Jinlai to come here to deliver something."
Li Quanwang took a look and found that the entrance was full of human-shaped standees and doll decorations. He immediately realized that these people came to decorate the theme of "Legend of Mir 2" and asked, "Oh. Have the other stores been decorated?"
Zhu Chongliang said: "The layout is complete, except for this store. This store is the largest and has the most items to be customized."
Zhu Chongliang took out his own cigarette, handed it over, and said flatteringly: "Here, boss, have a smoke."
Li Quanwang took the cigarette and put it on his ear. Although he didn't smoke, he wouldn't refuse others casually. He had been doing business with Lu Yiming for the past two years and had learned a lot about dealing with people.
Li Quanwang said, "Okay, go ahead and do it. But be careful not to break it."
Zhu Chongliang said: "Don't worry, it will definitely not break."
After getting permission, Zhu Chongliang brought his people to set up exquisitely crafted human-shaped billboards and various promotional posters, all of which were depicting the major professions in "Legend of Mir 2", with handsome men and beautiful women, ancient fantasy style, and elegant demeanor.
Young people these days have never seen this before. The young people in the Internet cafe immediately stopped surfing the Internet and started watching out of curiosity.
"What is this doing?"
"Is there an activity in the Internet cafe?"
"A new game?"
"What game is this? It looks so cool."
"Legend of Mir 2?"
"Hey, what a pretty girl!"
Several people drooled at the human-shaped stand.
Among the three major professions, except for the warrior who used the image of Liu Tianwang, the Taoist priest and the magician were replaced by beautiful beauties.
Among them, the magician has a royal sister style, while the Taoist priest has a graceful and lively youthful girl style. In terms of aesthetics, they have grasped it perfectly.
Xiao Qinghe and Lu Yiping also joined in the fun, and finally squeezed through the crowd, but they were dumbfounded. Lu Yiping pointed at the Taoist priest wearing a light blue feather robe among the three major professions and exclaimed: "Fuck, isn't this Lin Yuzhen?"
Although they were not in the same class, they were in the same grade and occasionally took physical education classes together. How could they not recognize this beautiful girl in the school?
Xiao Qinghe asked Li Quanwang, "Wangzi, why did this "Legend of Mir 2" use Lin Yuzhen's avatar? Not to mention that Lin Yuzhen looks so ethereal, I'm almost captivated by her."
Li Quanwang said, "Lu Yiming bought a game company and invested in the development of a new game. He is looking for Lin Yuzhen and King Liu to be the spokespersons. I am downloading the game. After the background is updated, I will give each of you an invitation code so that you can experience it first."
"Wow, this is a game made by Lu Yiming?"
"When did this happen? And they chose Lin Yuzhen as their spokesperson. They really know how to have fun."
Since it was a game made by Lu Yiming and endorsed by Lin Yuzhen, King of Kings would not be so popular. Lu Yiping urged, "Download it quickly. At least I can experience it before going to school."
Li Quanwang curled his lips and said, "It's no use urging me. This crappy internet speed is so slow."
Two hours later, Li Quanwang finished installing the new game sent by Lu Yiming, and then assigned it to Xiao Qinghe and Lu Yiping first.
Clicking on the login interface, Xiao Qinghe said: "The style of this game, how should I put it, is very much to my taste."
Lu Yiping urged, "Okay, hurry up and register and enter the game. I want to play Lin Yuzhen."
"puff……"
"Oh no, I said it wrong, I want to play a female Taoist priest!"
Li Quanwang said: "Don't you have a QQ account? You can log in directly with your QQ account. There is a one-click login here. Do you see it? You don't need to register again."
“So convenient?”
"Hurry into the game, what's your name?"
"Don't fuck me. What about you?"
“…”
"Tear the wound"
The two of them tacitly chose female as the gender of all the characters.
In real life, he is a rough man with an unshaven beard, but in the game, he is a beautiful ancient woman with a nice S-curve.
Simply invincible.
After choosing a career, enter the game immediately and start the official experience.
It has to be said that Lu Yiming borrowed from many popular private server versions of Legend of Mir in later generations. Just talking about the game content, it is definitely better than the original version.
The two of them chopped melons and vegetables, fought monsters, leveled up and learned skills along the way, and had a lot of fun.
The core of this game is just two words - brainless.
Either kill monsters or kill people, synthesize the dropped equipment into higher-level ones, and then kill higher-level monsters and higher-level people...
Li Quanwang finished his instant noodles and found that both Lv Yiping and Xiao Qinghe in "King of Kings" were offline, so he asked, "You don't play "King of Kings" anymore?"
Lu Yiping asked: "What is "King of Kings"?"
Xiao Qinghe said: "What is that? I don't know, I don't care, I'm not interested."
Li Quanwang laughed and scolded, "Damn it, you just said that "King of Kings" was your true love, but in the blink of an eye you abandoned your old love and found a new one. You are so shameless."
Lu Yiping said with a serious face, "Bullshit, my favorite is obviously "Legend of Mir 2", when will it be the turn of "King of Kings"? I warn you, we are familiar with each other, but if you say something wrong, I will sue you for defamation."
There are not many games to play in Internet cafes now. "StarCraft" and "Counter-Strike" are the mainstream ones, and there are also people playing King of Fighters and Contra.
The game interface styles of Lu Yiping and Xiao Qinghe are completely different, but they are consistent with the style of the signboard being installed nearby, so they immediately attracted many players in the Internet cafe to come and watch the fun.
"Is this the "Legend of Mir 2"? This is really exciting to cut."
"Can we play now? I saw that billboard just now won't be up for a few days, right ?"
"This game isn't on the computer."
Listening to the players behind him talking about it, Lu Yiping felt a sense of superiority and said proudly, "This game hasn't been released yet. I got the invitation code through connections and was able to experience it in advance."
"I'll go, is that okay?"
"Boss, can you give me some invitation codes? I want to play too."
A group of people immediately surrounded Li Quanwang.
"Boss, I'm a hardcore member of the Internet cafe. I still have several hundred yuan in my membership card."
"You're talking like everyone else is wrong? My membership card number is five digits long."
Faced with this group of financial sponsors, Li Quanwang did not dare to offend them easily, and quickly called Lu Yiming to explain the situation .
Lu Yiming didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this, and said, "It's okay. The server is almost fully loaded now, so it would be good to have more people to help test it. But you have to explain to them in advance that these internal test accounts will be deleted when the public test begins. I'll send you the invitation code on QQ."
After getting the invitation code, Li Quanwang started distributing it.
"This is a trial account. The data will be deleted when it is officially launched."
Those who got the invitation code didn't care about anything else and started to experience the game.
"Just delete the files. Get familiar with the effective content in advance. When the public beta comes, you will be at least one step ahead."
"That's right. I'm now a noble beta player , haha."
"Play early and earn early, just delete it if you want."
"Come on, I'll choose the female character."
"You're so sexy, I'll choose a female character too."
“…”
For ordinary players, being able to get an insider account is something worth bragging about. Apart from anything else , at least among so many people in the Internet cafe, most of them didn't get one. Many people who didn't get the invitation code didn't even play their own games, but came to watch the fun, which made those experience players feel superior.
At the same time, Tongxin Internet cafes across the country are also updating their systems, installing "Legend of Mir 2" and QQ, and preparing to push the software.
