Rebirth of the Internet: Starting from Games

Chapter 192 The Lonely Warrior

On March 10, cloudy and sunny.

The day before, Century Interactive Entertainment announced that "Legend 3" and "Ragnarok RO" will be permanently free.

Today, NetEase announced that its "Westward Journey Online 2" will be permanently free.

As soon as Chen Tianqiao got off the plane, he heard his subordinates calling to report the news. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Sanshi, this piece of shit, relied on the profits of the portal website and the upcoming "Fantasy Westward Journey" to follow stud without hesitation and ignore the glory. where?

However, after thinking all night yesterday, Chen Tianqiao was not without gains, because thinking about the other party's email saying that he still had one life left, it was definitely not unreasonable.

He really found a way out. He remembered that the legendary private server Tanwan Blue Moon, which he had copied before, and the now popular Three Kingdoms OL, were both free games and made huge profits. Chen Tianqiao took this into consideration.

Not long after NetEase announced the news, Shanda also officially announced that its large-scale self-developed online game "Legendary World" will be permanently free.

For a time, the influence of these two pieces of news even overshadowed the news of the "2 China Online Game Summit" and the "2003 First Game Ranking" to be held at 17173 o'clock in the afternoon.

The happiest people are the players of these four games. They all said that they felt violent and had hallucinations.

In just two days, I was playing games and drinking happy water, and the Internet fee was still 2 yuan. By accident, eh?Is this fucking game free?

How can I explain such a good thing as pie in the sky?

Seeing these angry players, players who played other games felt unbalanced, and they all went to their own forums to leave messages, asking when the game would be free.

Subsequently, the focus of the news returned to the "2003 China Online Game Summit" and the "17173 First Game Ranking" to be held this afternoon.

The time is the same, starting at 2 pm, and the location is even the same. We also chose the Beijing New Century Hotel.

The difference is that one is in the hotel's internal lobby, and the other is in a square diagonally opposite in front of the hotel. It is a temporary stage.

Starting at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, various business vehicles began to arrive in front of the New Century Hotel in Beijing in an endless stream, approaching one after another.

It was the car of the bosses of various online game manufacturers, and the parking boys and waiters were very busy.

The organizers even organized a red carpet ceremony. All the guests who came to participate walked on the red carpet, then signed and took photos on the signature wall at the entrance of the hotel, making it look like celebrities were entering the hotel.

There was a circle of reporters and media surrounding him.

When the bosses walking on the red carpet took a group photo, since they were facing the stage opposite, they could clearly see a lonely figure on the stage and a few staff members, as well as a few passing people. Watching curiously.

Those who walked the red carpet included Shanda Chen Tianqiao, NetEase Ding Lei, Sina Wang Yan, Jinshan Qiu Bojun, Lei Jun, and many other big names currently involved in the Internet and games, as well as many senior media and official personnel.

Chen Tianqiao snorted coldly, I admit that your methods are smart, but who are you doing this for?It’s no use showing it to anyone.

Young people sometimes just want to do whatever they want, just like children. If they don't give candy, they will make trouble, and then behave and roll around in public to attract attention.Save it, I'm not your father.

After Wang Yan entered the hotel, he thought about the interesting scene just now and felt it was a pity not to do something. He rolled his eyes and called his subordinates, whispered a few words into his ears, and then walked into the venue with a smile.

Not long after, even Tencent's little brother Ma came from Guangdong after a long journey. Looking at the figure opposite him who was younger than himself but more maverick, he couldn't explain it in his heart. His mixed emotions finally turned into a sigh and walked in. .

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, two award ceremonies were held at the same time.

At this time, a piece of news titled "Century Interactive Entertainment, The Lonely Watcher" quietly appeared on the homepage of Sina.com, with only one picture in it.

The shooting technique of this picture is very clever. On the right side of the picture is a tall and lonely figure on the stage. The crowd in the audience is deserted. On the left side is a lively crowd in the distance, surrounded by luxury cars and reporters. They were well-dressed, and they were chatting happily. They were talking and laughing, one on the left and the other on the right, forming a strong contrast.

There is only a line of small words below the picture (on the left is Chen Hao, chairman of Century Zongheng, and on the right are the giants of online game manufacturers)

As soon as the news came out, public opinion exploded.

In particular, the four major free-to-play game players became uneasy when they saw it. It was outrageous that the person who was seeking their welfare should be ignored in this way.

<divclass="contentadv">Players of Century series games were also unhappy. The patients and their families of the Century Jian Charity Patients Association became even more angry after learning about it.

There are also former passerby netizens who can’t bear to eat melons even though they’re so good. Isn’t this just outright bullying?

They fear the strong, but sympathize more with the weak. This is an instinct rooted in kindness.

When a person becomes emotionally excited, the most intuitive reaction is to start taking action.

However, most people, whose families are far away from home, cannot save the people from the fire nearby, so they can only act anxiously and send messages of support online.

After the majority of netizens informed each other, these people finally found the official forum of Century Interactive Entertainment and left messages through various methods and channels.

"Do you have any friends in the capital? Go and support Mr. Chen. Century Interactive Entertainment is so pitiful."

"Those who have money hold a money market, and those who have no money hold a personal market."

"I'm in the capital, and I'm getting ready to rush over there, but it's far away. I'm at Princess Tomb. Are there any friends nearby who are going with me?"

"I'll take one thousand of that and put it in the account on the third floor."

"You are too slow. My Internet cafe is only 10 minutes away from the scene. I will give you first-hand information then."

"I just arrived at the scene. It was really pitiful. There were three or two kittens, and a bunch of old men and women who thought there was some kind of event to give out eggs. I couldn't bear to look at it. There happened to be an Internet cafe nearby that came to calm the panic. We need support. need help!"

"Hold on ahead, the army will arrive soon. I'll turn off the computer! Take a taxi and come here~"

"Don't just go empty-handed, buy some fruit baskets or something."

"Yes, yes, the reminder upstairs is good, and you can also send a banner. This thing can represent your heart."

Countless people were making suggestions and it was very lively. This group of people seemed not to support but to pay tribute to the court, and their style gradually went off the rails.

Originally, Chen Hao's plan was that since he dared to remove me from the list of winners, based on the real data provided by Volkswagen Software, I would organize it myself and award the award to myself, right?

Find a few people to take photos, and then post the data and awards online to compare them. When the tide recedes, let the majority of netizens see who is swimming naked?

Although the stage of 17173 Game Ranking is small, it is well-equipped with host, hostess, and even trophies.

The host is a veteran who has experienced the storm. In front of the audience who don't know what is going on in the audience, he is still generous and carries out the opening remarks in an orderly manner.

Then the corresponding awards were announced, and a short video of the corresponding game was played on the screen behind them. The awards ceremony was very formal and was not compromised due to the lack of audiences and guests.

"The best turn-based online game is "Westward Journey Online 2". Guests were invited to come on stage to receive the award. Since the relevant personnel from NetEase were not present to receive the award, the awards were presented directly like an award."

Seeing that no one came on stage to receive the award, the host just paused for a while and continued the process.

"The most popular classic of the year. "Miracle", invited guests to come on stage to receive the award."

Chen Hao, dressed casually in a white shirt, jeans, and sneakers, took the stage. No one presented him with an award. He took the initiative to hold the trophy in the center of the stage and signaled to the audience.

He said his acceptance speech with a smile on his face and a melody that made people feel like spring breeze.

Under the stage, there was a group of curious onlookers who did not know the situation, in twos and threes.

On the stage, it was Chen Hao's performance alone, lonely and heroic!

However, as time passed and the awards ceremony continued, the development of the situation gradually deviated from what he expected.
