Chapter 1: Waiting in line for the experience
"Yo, Lao Yun is early, but I haven't seen you for a few days, and I've been out of the country these days?" The owner of the breakfast shop greeted the regular customers who came to the front of the restaurant warmly.
The man known as Lao Yun was a young man who looked less than thirty years old and was named Hanyun. He was wearing a checkered shirt, jeans and sneakers, his hair was long enough to cover his ears, and he was even more than 1.85 meters tall.
The reason why he is called Lao Yun is that the owner of this breakfast shop is younger, and they all live together, and they are also acquaintances.
"Something has happened these days, reversing black and white." Hanyun pointed to the steaming soup pot: "Half a cake, a bowl of spicy soup." β
"Well, it's still the same, you sit first, and I'll bring it to you."
Hanyun looked around, found a seat where no one was and sat down, and then the things were placed in front of him, Hanyun looked up and smiled at the boss, picked up the chopsticks and took out his mobile phone to look at it.
The recent release of New World, a game that has made a global splash with just a few publicity and official announcements, is a godsend for someone like him who makes a living from games.
If you want to get the opportunity, it is also essential to do some understanding and preparation in advance, and the more you know, the better the basic control of the game may be. Of course, this is just the traditional way of saying and doing, and there are some that go off the beaten path.
No matter what the game, under normal circumstances, before the game officially starts, more than 95% of game companies will have some ghost internal testing, and then closed beta, secondary closed beta, ultimate closed beta, etc., etc., and then a series of self-destruction processes will be in the open beta, in this process, most of the content that can be found in the game will naturally be dug up by those test players, and made public to earn eyeballs, and now Hanyun hopes to find some relevant content.
To Hanyun's disappointment, it has been nearly half a month since he knew about the game, and he didn't find any information about the content of the game other than the official announcement, and some of it was just some people's conjectures.
The game of New World was released half a month ago.,Hanyun, who is very concerned about the game, hasn't heard or seen any news before.,It appeared so suddenly.,And directly announced16 days later, the global distribution,Sell game equipment,Two days after the release of the game, the game was officially openedγ
The new world is a game with a huge degree of virtuality.,About the mechanism or something Hanyun understands is limited to the official.,It's just to read some of the official propaganda and some introductions of the news.,It's god-like.,Playing the game is like 100% immersive.,And the game is a complete world or something.γ
At the beginning, Hanyun didn't care too much, because such things happen every year now, but this time when the price of game equipment was announced, Hanyun was startled, 68000 yuan! And that's just standard! There is also a luxury configuration on it, and the price is as high as 128,000 yuan, and the price is almost doubled!
The game equipment uses a game warehouse, and people lie directly in it to play, such game equipment Hanyun has seen it before, and that kind of thing is also very expensive, but that thing is not very far from the general wearable virtual device, and the actual experience is just like that, and it is not much more high-end than the general virtual device, but it is more comfortable, and the games played and other virtual devices are the same.
But this time is different, the game warehouse of New World is only developed for the game "New World", and no other games can be played, and the official statement is that this time it is the same server in the world, and all items in the game are valuable.
What is the concept of the same server in the world? That is to stuff all the players who play this game on the planet into a server to play, which undoubtedly requires a super super server to operate, otherwise even if the game equipment is expensive, the moment the influx of players from all over the world can crash the server.
Hanyun was incomparably interested when he learned about this, and then entered the official confirmation news, which can be completely determined that it is really the same server in the world, and all the items in the game are 'valuable' existence, which is undoubtedly huge for a person who depends on the game for a living.
It's just that the price of this game warehouse is really a bit expensive and scary, two grades, one is nearly 70,000 yuan, and the other is nearly 130,000 yuan......
But today there is an experience exhibition of the New World Game Warehouse.,Just take advantage of the game equipment to experience it before the release of the game equipment in a few days.,If it's true.,The game experience is as refreshing as it says in the news.,Then Hanyun decided to smash the pot and sell iron to buy a game warehouse.,After all, the things in it are all valuable existence.,Even if the value is low.,It shouldn't be bad in the early days.γ
"M, the hell knows what the hell is going on inside the game."
After reading the information for a while, which had been read countless times, and did not find anything new, Hanyun muttered and put down the phone and ate breakfast attentively.
Because he had long known that the experience exhibition at nine o'clock this morning would be held in the gymnasium of this city (K City), Hanyun got up very early today, and now he finished the breakfast in front of him and it was just six o'clock, which was earlier than the 9-to-5 office workers.
The reason why he got up so early was not that the road was very far, he was just worried that if he got there a little later, he was afraid that he would have to wait in a super long line to experience it, which would be terrible.
"The money is on the table, I'm in a hurry." Hanyun got up and beckoned to the breakfast shop owner, and walked out briskly into the distance.
It was still early, and there was no traffic jam on the road, and he took the time to buy a bottle of water in the middle, and it only took twenty minutes for Hanyun to come to the gate of the K City Gymnasium, and the time was less than half past six, but after he got out of the car, he found that there were already 100 people gathered at the gate, so he hurriedly ran over there.
At the entrance of the gymnasium, there were many staff, and before Hanyun stepped forward to ask, a staff member said with a smile: "Sir, are you here to experience the New World Game Warehouse?" β
"Yes." Hanyun nodded.
"Thank you for your attention, you can take this number, please go to the fifth passage over there and wait for the start of the exhibition." The staff took out a numbered plate from the side and handed it over.
Hanyun took a good look at the card, and was immediately happy, the good card said the fifth channel fifteenth, that is to say, there are a total of 15 people in front of him, fortunately it is to open up a number of small channels, otherwise he would have to rank to the hundredth and tenth.
The gate of the gymnasium has been divided into six passages at this time, and there are already more than a hundred people in the front, Hanyun came directly to the back of the fifth passage, counting the people in front, no more, no less, exactly 14 people, he is the 15th person, and he only needs to wait below.
Now there are still two and a half hours before the start of the exhibition, Hanyun looked at the water in his hand, and gave himself a thumbs up in his heart, standing stupidly without eating or drinking for two and a half hours will kill people.
As time passes, more and more people come, although today is not a weekend holiday, just a normal Tuesday, but people are also constantly in the six queue areas to the back of the continuous extension.
More than an hour later, Hanyun looked back at the long queue and couldn't help but sigh: "It's just a sea of people!" β
At this time, the buddy standing in front turned around and smiled at Hanyun: "This is the advantage of coming early...... What, friend, can you lend me a sip of water? I'm dying of thirst. β
Hanyun was stunned for a moment, looked at the half bottle of water in his hand, and then looked at the guy standing in front of him who was a head lower than him, and there was such an operation as borrowing water? Besides, I've already drunk so much.
This guy was a little embarrassed by Hanyun, he was embarrassed and said: "I'm really embarrassed, but I really can't help it now, I'm afraid that I will come late in the morning, so I rushed over without drinking water, but my throat is now about to smoke, and there are so many people......"
"If you don't dislike it, drink it." Hanyun wiped his sweat and handed the water directly.
"Then thank you, buddy." The man grabbed the mineral water, poured it into the sky, and patted the bottle with a lot of satisfaction, dried up the last drop of the source of life, and then burped comfortably, put the bottle at his feet, and grinned at Hanyun: "Dude, are you going to buy this game equipment?" β
"Let's see."
"Me too, after all, it's expensive, and I don't know if it's good or not."
As the time passed, more and more people came to line up outside the gymnasium, and the queue became longer and longer, so that the organizer had to send a large number of staff to maintain order on the spot, and some security personnel also came one after another to maintain it, so as to avoid unnecessary accidents.
Under the pressure of the crowd, when the time was still 20 minutes before 9 o'clock, the radio sounded outside: "Friends, please do not crowd, please consciously maintain the order of the scene to avoid accidents." Now we open the venue in advance, those who have received the number ticket should enter the venue in the order of the number queue, do not crowd, please do not crowd, pay attention to safety! β
"Whewβit's finally begun."
"Don't squeeze in the back, this is according to the number plate, and it's useless to squeeze."
"With so many people, when will this be experienced?"
