What happens to the future when humanity loses its imagination?
That slogan created a sensation during the summer of 1984.
Back then, computers couldn't support Chinese input and co...
While major domestic companies were busy distributing foreign games, Wujiang Group began promoting "Primordial World: Three Races Battle" online.
8 PM on November 1st.
The homepage headline of the Wujiang portal website has been changed to "The Primordial World: The Three Races' Struggle for Supremacy".
The top trending topic on Weibo has changed to "The Primordial World: The Three Races' Battle for Supremacy".
#$400 million, ten years in the making, Wujiang Group's game "Primordial World: Three Races Battle for Supremacy" is here!#
"Shocking! Wujiang Group has invested $400 million to create an unprecedented epic game! The primordial world is about to descend, are you ready?!"
"Pangu separated heaven and earth, and the primordial chaos differentiated into purity and turbidity. First came Hongjun, then heaven, and before the immortals and Buddhas."
The dragon and phoenix fought for supremacy, losing their fortune; the witch and demon fought again, giving rise to a second calamity; Emperor Jun and Taiyi became the Heavenly Emperor, and the twelve witch ancestors were called the Earthly Emperors.
When will the entanglement of cause and effect be resolved? The conflict between witches and demons has left both sides severely wounded. The Dao Ancestor spoke to stop the fighting, and Nuwa created the human race.
…………
At this time, Wujiang Group's online resources were all promoting "The Primordial World: The Three Races' Battle for Supremacy".
Countless netizens were surprised, curious, and itching to see it.
Unfortunately, Wujiang Group has not yet released any game screenshots or videos.
What everyone knows now is that Wujiang Group spent $400 million to develop a game, which has aroused everyone's curiosity, making them eager to learn about "Primordial World: Three Races Battle for Supremacy".
Reporters from major media outlets around the world flocked to the Wujiang Building to conduct interviews, hoping to obtain firsthand information.
The gaming industry was shaken to its core, as if an atomic bomb had been dropped on a calm lake.
Developing a typical AAA game usually costs at most tens of millions of dollars, but Wujiang Group spent 400 million dollars to create a game. Just how amazing must this game be! No one can even imagine!
But everyone knows that the moment for Wujiang Group to dominate the gaming industry has come again!
"Wujiang Group is despicable! They've piqued our curiosity, but they're still keeping us in suspense, not even releasing a single screenshot. Even if they're just being coy, they don't have to go this far. Upload some game screenshots so we can feast our eyes on what this $400 million game looks like!" one netizen complained.
"Yes, after reading the news, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep all night. I'm eager to learn more about 'The Primordial World: The Three Races' Battle for Supremacy'."
"Brothers, let's boycott Wujiang Group! If they don't upload some screenshots or videos of 'Primordial World: Three Races' battle for supremacy,' we'll send them razor blades!!!"
"Damn it! I'd already taken my pants off, and this is what you show me?"
"..."
At this time, since there was no information about the game "Primordial World: Three Races Battle for Supremacy", many people couldn't help but try to understand the game's background by looking at the game's name.
"The primordial world" clearly refers to ancient Chinese mythology.
However, people in this era had a relatively simple understanding of the prehistoric world, limited to a few myths such as Pangu creating the world, Nuwa creating humans, Nuwa patching up the sky, and Kuafu chasing the sun.
The online literature of the past pioneered the "primordial era" genre, which allowed more people to gain a deeper understanding of ancient Chinese mythology.
When Wujiang Group was developing the game "Primordial World: Three Races Battle for Supremacy," they also wrote a "Primordial World" novel of the same name, totaling over four million words. It's just that this novel hasn't been released yet.
On November 1, 2001, a group of authors who loved fantasy writing initiated the establishment of the Fantasy Literature Association.
This fantasy literature association was the predecessor of the Qidian Chinese website in the previous life.
The game "Primordial World: Three Races Battle for Supremacy" is about to be released, and the game of the same name is bound to be a huge hit, even becoming popular overseas.
Therefore, Zhao Ye planned to establish Qidian Chinese and Qidian International at this time.
Wujiang Group owns a large number of copyrights, including those for game adaptations, comic book adaptations, and animation adaptations. Furthermore, Wujiang Group owns its own publishing house and has good relationships with many well-known authors, so inviting them to license their electronic copyrights to Wujiang Group is no problem at all.
Of course, works by traditional authors may not be popular online.
Qidian's development focus remains on cultivating its own online writers.
Wujiang Group has plenty of money and can provide strong support to Qidian, so the station's development will naturally not be a problem.
...
"Hello, are you Mr. Zhou Wenzhou, the president of the Fantasy Literature Association?"
"Um, this is Zhou Wen. Hello, may I ask who you are?" Zhou Wen asked, looking at the unfamiliar number.
"Hello Mr. Zhou, I am Xie Shiping, the Human Resources Director of Qidian.com, a subsidiary of Wujiang Group. Our website would like to invite the Fantasy Literature Association to join Qidian.com. We can offer you positions such as editor-in-chief and editor. Of course, we also support your application."
The members of the Fantasy Literature Association are a group of good online writers with a certain fan base online. They publish their works on the Qidian Chinese website, which solves the problem of the limited number of websites.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Wen was immediately taken aback.
My God, are you kidding me? Wujiang Group actually invited our Fantasy Literature Association to join its Qidian Chinese website!
Zhou Wen took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
"Miss Xie, you're not joking with me, are you?"
"Of course not. If you don't believe me, you can come and visit our company. We've already built the framework for the website. Now we mainly need editors-in-chief, editors, and writers to join our Qidian Chinese website. Your fantasy literature association's style is very similar to our website's style, which is why I invited you to join us."
