I have to teach the world a lesson

Summer 2008.

A game called "Dungeon and Fighter" turned out.

At that time, domestic online games were dominated by large-scale games such as "Legend" and "Warcraft".

The promotions put out by game manufacturers are all about spending hundreds of millions to develop large-scale online games, epic masterpieces with 3D interfaces...

For this outdated side-scrolling fighting game, many people are not optimistic about its development prospects. Even many people within Penguin are dismissive of this game...

Just regard this game as a task to ignite the QQ game icon and give Penguin more game projects.

However……

No one would have thought of it!

In the eyes of countless people, this horizontal-screen fighting game has become outdated, but it has been able to persist for ten years!

Moreover, at its peak, there were nearly 80 million players and over 10 million active users...

$426 million in 2013!

$890 million in 2014!

$1.05 billion in 2015!

$1.1 billion in 2016!

$1.6 billion in 2017…

…

The astonishing annual income of this game allowed Penguin to ascend to the gaming throne and overlook the heroes in no time!

…………………………

Late summer 2011.

It seems to be the same as in 2009.

Many things have not changed.

In the Internet cafe, countless people stared excitedly at the Wild Boar Cave copy in "The Legend of Marfa", collecting gold and cutting equipment.

[Juqing Games] It is said that the company's annual revenue is close to 6 billion yuan, and "Eternal Continent" still has people coming to charge cards from time to time...

The Internet cafe was renovated a year ago. After changing the owner and the sign, it still gradually became dirty and smelly...

Fatty Wang is still the ordinary network administrator...

The only difference is that the salary has increased a bit, to 2,500 yuan.

The name of the Internet cafe also changed to [Yubo Internet Cafe].

"In the past, Zhang Sheng used to sit in my rental house and write novels..."

"I even borrowed his computer..."

"We are fellow villagers, and we are also classmates. I was the only one who took Zhang Sheng in when he was in the most difficult time..."

"Zhang Sheng also said that one day, he would give me an Internet cafe, haha..."

"Have you seen Zheng Chonghuan? When I was helping people with Internet cafes in a small place last year, that young man was really bad at Internet..."

"I recommended him to find Zhang Sheng..."

"Now, look, how awesome he is! He went abroad to compete and brought glory to the country!"

"..."

Outside the Internet cafe, the lights are bright.

There were endless sounds of car horns.

Fatty Wang was sitting on the steps, watching the people coming and going on the street, drinking canned beer, and bragging along with some of his companions in the Internet cafe.

His cheeks were slightly drunk and slightly rosy, and he spoke passionately about many past events. At this moment, he looked like a storyteller, exposing the unknown stories to everyone's sight. …

However, the audience did not take it seriously and instead laughed.

The sarcastic voices came one after another, as if they thought he was just telling a joke, and they already regarded him as a fun-loving person who loves to brag and dream.

"Haha, if you are kind to Zhang Sheng, why doesn't Zhang Sheng take you to the sky?"

"Do you know who the boss of Zhang Sheng's [Qiangsheng Online Mall] is? The boss is Li Bin! Zhang Sheng single-handedly brought it out from [Limin Internet Cafe]. Have you confused your life with Li Bin's? "

"Stop daydreaming like this. After drinking, take a pee and look at yourself to see if you have a dream of getting rich..."

"Ha ha……"

"You are so awesome, why don't you go find Zhang Sheng and why are you still sitting in this small Internet cafe and being bullied by the boss?"

Waves of laughter were drowned out by the whistle of the big city.

Fatty Wang also laughed: "You don't understand, this is a kind of feeling. As a brother, you just need to watch him live well from a distance. Moreover, why did I go to Zhang Sheng? I have lived it now." It's very good... If I really join him, I will become his wage earner, and my status will be different. I will have to call him boss, hahaha."

His words instantly filled the entire Internet cafe with bursts of joyful sounds.

Amidst the bursts of sound, Fatty Wang threw the beer bottle into the trash can, patted his butt and walked into the Internet cafe, then sat on the chair.

He had never been resigned to his fate.

I also thought about finding Zhang Sheng, defecting to Zhang Sheng, or even becoming a security guard...

But later, he became inexplicably timid.

He is dishonest, he is sloppy, he is lazy...

However, he also knows how to be ashamed.

Although he took Zhang Sheng in when Zhang Sheng was in the most difficult time, he also laughed at Zhang Sheng, even threw Zhang Sheng's luggage out and drove Zhang Sheng away...

Zhang Sheng once destroyed his computer, but later, when he received the computer, he felt that all the kindness had been repaid.

Even if he follows the address to find Zhang Sheng, what can he do? Work as a security guard for Zhang Sheng? What about more wages? Does he have the nerve to go there?

No education, no skills, no specialties, not smart, and lazy...

He has countless shortcomings and has thought about changing them.

However, I often persist for a day or two, then return to the status quo and continue to lie down.

His whole life.

That's probably it.

Being able to witness the rise of a friend, well, if Zhang Sheng still recognizes him as a friend after being kicked out...

All in all, I have no regrets.

day……

Just live it so simply.

On the evening of August 9th.

When Fatty Wang was getting ready to get off work as usual, a group of people walked into the Internet cafe.

When the leader saw Fatty Wang, his eyes lit up, and he immediately ran to Fatty Wang's side.

"boss……"

"Hello?"

"Boss, we are the promoters of the game "Dungeon" of "Shengteng Technology". We hope to promote "Dungeon" in your [Yubo Internet Cafe]. How about you help attract a single user and we give you money? "

"How much can we divide?"

"Boss, do you have WeChat? Let's add my WeChat first?"

"Okay, yes, but I'm not the boss, I'm just the network administrator..."

"it's okay no problem……"

The visitor added Fatty Wang on WeChat with a smile.

Later, Fatty Wang was pulled into a [game promotion group].

This [Game Promotion Group] had exactly 100 people. After it was confirmed that Fatty Wang had joined the group, the visitor pushed up his glasses and introduced his game.

"Boss, this is a horizontal screen fighting game called "Dungeon". I won't describe it in detail. You can play it first. If you have a good experience, I hope you can recommend it to your friends who can afford it, and Friends from the Internet cafe..."

"In this way, if you get one registered user, we will give you 5 yuan, 10 yuan, that is 50 yuan! You take a screenshot and send it on WeChat, and we will pay you the checkout on the same day..."

"..."

"It's only 5 yuan each, so high?" When Fatty Wang heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Yes! This is the initial condition. If you can complete our daily performance requirements, we will have another bonus..."

"You can bring your parents over to promote the game. As long as someone registers for this game, we will check out immediately..."

"You can also build your own team. As long as everyone in your team can complete the performance, we will have higher bonuses, and we can also promote you to team leader and enjoy the basic salary..."

"How much money can you make if you are a network administrator for a month? With us, earning over 10,000 yuan a month is no longer a dream!"

"..."

The visitor said a lot of things.

After seeing a series of benefits and benefits, Fatty Wang was immediately pleasantly surprised, and then nodded quickly, but then became a little worried: "What if the task is not completed?"

"We won't fine you if you don't complete the task, and you don't need to sign a contract..."

"Okay, let me try!"

"..."

A few minutes later.

This group of "Dungeon" game promoters is gone.

Fatty Wang silently opened "Dungeon", and then, with some trepidation, installed the game on the console.

When I haven’t played this game yet…

There was a line in the Internet cafe to swipe the card, and the lobby was already crowded with people looking for the machine.

year 2011.

The Internet cafe business at this time is very good, and it is often difficult to find a place.

Even if they are dirty and messy, Internet cafes such as Yubo Internet Cafe, which is located in a remote area of ​​Yanjing and is not very conspicuous, are still overcrowded every day.

People queued up to get online one after another.

Last year, Fatty Wang met the owner of an Internet cafe once. He was a slightly fat middle-aged man.

This year, the Internet cafe owner rarely came to the Internet cafe and came to check the accounts at most once a month. Even if Fatty Wang occasionally miscalculated the accounts and occasionally took a few extra packs of cigarettes to smoke himself, the Internet cafe owner did not ask him to pay any money, let alone deduct the money. over his salary.

Fatty Wang naturally likes such a stupid boss.

"Network administrator swipes card!"

"There's no room left!"

"Okay then, when will it happen, when will you tell me..."

"good!"

"By the way, brothers, do you want to play this game called "Dungeon"? Go and register an account..."

"Huh? New game?"

"Yeah, it's a new game!"

"..."

Looking at this group of people, Fatty Wang began to become active.

He has been in the Internet cafe for so long that he has naturally gotten to know a number of players and has a good relationship with some of them.

Under his chat, these people who couldn't find the opportunity even started to help Fatty Wang put up promotional posters for [Dungeon]!

After putting up the poster...

Fatty Wang took out another pack of cigarettes from the cupboard and distributed them to the group of people one by one.

Looking at the overcrowded Internet cafe.

He hesitated for a moment, and then...

He calculated for a while and took out another cheap cigarette from the display window.

He started to walk towards the crowd and separated them one by one.

"Brother, do you want to try a new game? "Dungeon"..."

"Produced by Zhang Sheng Company..."

"It's fun, I just played it!"

"Just register an account. In this way, you register an account... Come, have a cigarette..."

"..."

Being interrupted while playing games...

This is an angry thing.

After being scolded for a while, Fatty Wang returned to his seat.

Immediately afterwards...

He saw @himself in the WeChat group.

【How many are there? 】

【brother! You want to follow a routine, others are playing games, and they will definitely not be happy if you act like this! 】

[But if you say that registration will give you free internet fees, that’s different! 】

【……】

That WeChat account is called [Yue Sheng].

But it seems to be the manager of local promotion activities. In the past hour or so, this person has been posting various routines in the WeChat group...

After the private chat, Fatty Wang changed his mind!

Fatty Wang was enlightened instantly!

Thinking that it costs 2 yuan an hour now, and then I can earn 5 yuan by attracting a registered customer!

Then he stared at the console.

An idea came to mind.

Immediately afterwards, he sent a pop-up window in the pop-up announcement of the Internet cafe.

[Register for the game and get free Internet access! 】

[Try it for 20 minutes and get another hour of free internet! 】

【……】
