Chapter 226 Pain (First Update)
Lin Wen's intention was very simple, he just wanted to copy a legendary private server.
Legend was all the rage back then, but with a certain company messing things up, players complained. Coincidentally, the source code of the game was leaked by a South Korean development company, and private servers blossomed everywhere, quickly replacing official servers. To this day, you can still see advertisements everywhere with people holding swords and saying, "If you're a brother, come and chop me down."
This shows how strong its vitality is.
After observing the Blood Moon Legend for a while, Lin Wen discovered that it was essentially a low-quality legend, even a level lower than the earliest version, but it had already taken shape.
The fact that this game is so popular shows that the audience's tastes have not changed fundamentally. No matter where they go, humans like to carry swords and chop their brothers.
Then the next step is to get the source code, set up a private server, and place advertisements for the 999 yuan product everywhere.
Lin Wen arrived at the Network Technology Department. His friends, who had already received the news, were all standing at the door. They all looked extremely nervous, constantly pulling at their clothes and adjusting their collars, as if they couldn't stand up without doing something.
When they saw Lin Wen, although they were surprised that the highest local official was so young, they instinctively bowed and said in a disjointed voice, "Hello, County Governor Lin."
Lin Wen smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. Come on, Fang Weiwei will give him some gifts. This is to reward you for your hard work."
Fang Weiwei handed a beautifully packaged small box to them one by one. The young men, who were enjoying the service of such a beautiful female secretary for the first time, all blushed and were at a loss.
Fang Weiwei then brought over a large bag of fruit and said with a smile, "You often stay up late, so it's good to eat some fruit."
This really moved them so much that one of the little fat boys actually started crying. He wiped his tears and said, "Wow, no one has taken care of me my whole life. If Xiaoxi could have even one percent of this, I would..."
Lin Wen is very familiar with this kind of loser youth vibe, because he was this kind of loser for a while.
At that time, because he insisted on his ideal of cultivating immortals, his family cut off all funds and even refused to pay for his tuition.
But in order to study the origin of this world more deeply, Lin Wen still worked part-time to raise enough living expenses and tuition.
At that time, he was the most famous loser in the school. He went to the class of a physics master at the Academy of Sciences and even carried a bag to pick up trash, which really brought shame to the school.
Although the school provided some assistance later, most of the money was used to pay tuition.
Lin Wen spent his four years in college living a loser life. It was not until he started graduate school that his family compromised and resumed his financial contributions.
Then the classmates suddenly realized that this guy who was so poor that he only had three sets of clothes for four years and sixteen seasons and ate steamed buns and vegetables with cold boiled water every day was actually a super rich man.
Because of this unforgettable experience, Lin Wen understood the Diaosi youth very well. He patted their shoulders and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous. I will hand over your study materials later and we will be good friends."
Such cordial and familiar words quickly melted away the barriers between them. Lin Wen asked them to set up the server, debug the server, open the developer interface, and then began to carefully study the most popular game in the empire.
There are only two professions in Blood Moon Legend, the warrior and the mage, and more than a dozen monster maps. The only activity is to kill monsters and people. There is not even a system similar to the Shabak siege.
Too simple.
Lin Wen originally only intended to plagiarize, but now it seems that it is not plagiarism.
He immediately said, "Set up a private server right away, increase the experience multiplier to 2500%, the equipment drop rate to 1000%, and add the ability to drop equipment when you kill someone. Keep everything else the same and change the name to Blue Moon Legend."
The friends looked at each other in bewilderment. Some of them had played this game before, and the fat boy was one of them.
He said hesitantly, "But, but this game will end soon..."
Lin Wen smiled and said, "Well, you can just pick a random monster, enlarge it, change its attributes, and add "king" after its name. Wouldn't that make it a new BOSS?"
"This new BOSS has been defeated. If you find another monster to enlarge, won't it be another one?"
"If you've used up all of them, you can increase the magnification. For example, if you magnified a wild boar by 3 times before, now you magnify it by 4 times, and the name becomes 'King of Wild Boars.' And so on. Wouldn't it be endless?"
The friends looked at each other. Although they felt that it was not very reliable, they did not object anymore.
"Also, we need to build a shopping mall into the game."
"We don't need payment cards. The game is free, and our main source of income is selling items, such as double experience charms, advanced potions, materials for rare equipment, etc."
"After running for a while, you continue to open new servers until no one plays them anymore."
At this time, Qi Mu asked, "Chief Lin, how do we collect the money?"
"How does Blood Moon Legend charge?"
"They use a point card system. They wholesale point cards to retailers all over the country. Players buy the point cards and then rush into the game."
“Is there any online trading now?”
"Uh, never heard of it."
Lin Wen was silent for a moment, but he immediately thought of a solution.
"You build an official bank account into the game, and have them indicate their character's name and account number when transferring money. We'll confirm and return a special token to them, let's call it Yuanbao. They can use Yuanbao to buy items in the mall."
"Okay, that's all the major changes. Hurry up and start working on the server and hook up the client."
These changes were not very difficult for Qi Mu and his friends. They agreed in unison and immediately plunged into the intense work.
But the story is far from over.
Lin Wen asked Fang Weiwei to quickly purchase a server, preferably a few more mainframes. This was not only for setting up a private server, but he also had many other plans that required the use of such supercomputers.
And asked her to expand the bandwidth and let the Imperial Ministry of Industry and Information Technology set up a dedicated line directly from Changshan County to Danyangdu, the capital of Dongqinzhou, because there is a root server of the Imperial Internet there.
Connecting directly from Changshan County to Danyang City will greatly reduce data turnover, speed up network speed and reduce latency.
Also, let her immediately inform Xia Xiaoxiang and ask her to urgently recruit some customer service staff and establish a company directly managed by Changshan County. The company name is called "Tenglibaba" and the company logo is a penguin with long orange hair.
Tenglibaba.com and the County Hall's Network Technology Department have a close partnership, with Tenglibaba.com primarily responsible for operations, sales and revenue, and the Network Technology Department responsible for technology development.
All matters concerning the company, including the person in charge, structure, executives, office building, etc., were assigned to her, and it had to be done quickly, preferably within three days.
In addition, Fang Weiwei was asked to urge Qin Luoshuang to investigate the main groups of people who go online in the empire and which social classes play games. This is also an urgent matter and must be dealt with immediately.
So Fang Weiwei, who was burdened with a lot of things, left in a hurry.
Lin Wenzhe began to sleep soundly, and behind him was a worker typing frantically on the keyboard.
By the evening, after a hard sleep, Lin Wen finally recovered his spirit to 12%, making up for the loss of sleep during the night attack in Shangxi Town.
As soon as he walked out of the room, he ran into Fang Weiwei who came to report to him.
Changshan County's efficiency was fully demonstrated at this moment.
While Lin Wen was sleeping, Xia Xiaoxiang had already built the "Tenglibaba" company. She directly requisitioned a building from a poor rich man in Huai Town and put a long-haired orange penguin logo on the outside of the building, and that was it for the company.
The person in charge of the "Tenglibaba" company is a man named Hua Yun, who was chosen by Xia Xiaoxiang. He seems to be her direct subordinate, so Lin Wen doesn't care.
The company has recruited more than 300 people in a very short period of time. After learning about the company's specific work, Huayun conducted emergency customer service training for these 300 people.
The company's structure was quickly perfected, and the corresponding executive Xia Xiaoxiang was being selected. Lin Wen said it would take three days, and she seemed to want to demonstrate her ability, as it was completed in less than a day.
When the moon was at its zenith, several heavy trucks rumbled in from outside the town. They were large machines purchased by the Finance Department. Since cooperating with the Tongchen Group in Dongqinzhou, such purchases have become very fast, efficient, and cheap.
The mainframe will be installed in the basement computer room of the Alibaba building, where the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is working on the arrangements.
The empire is currently very short of money, and the imperial headquarters has little surplus food. When they heard that Changshan County wanted to pay a high price for a dedicated line, they rushed over, fearing that Changshan County would change its mind if they were a second late.
When the clock turned to two in the morning and Lin Wen was about to have a second sleep, Fang Weiwei brought Qin Luoshuang's investigation report again.
"How could it be so fast?" Lin Wen asked.
Fang Weiwei said, "Other companies are also investigating this matter, and Sister Qin's spies who were out there collecting intelligence stole it."
This timing...could it be some big shot in the empire?
But this is not very important. Lin Wen quickly read the investigation report and then fell into deep thought.
Now, Lin Wen finally understood why the empire's Internet industry was developing so slowly.
There was a huge gap in development between the regions of the empire.
It's not just economic development, the level of civilization seems to be the same.
The order in the east is obviously better. At least there are very few public killings, and exploitation is more civilized, consisting of nothing more than dismissal and salary deductions.
The local court in charge of law is also relatively fair, and the minions of the Council are more restrained here.
The west is more chaotic, with civil unrest, resistance, and rebellion always existing. This is also the reason why the western region has always developed relatively slowly.
Apart from powerful and well-connected groups, no one is willing to invest in such a place.
Changshan County has always been such an existence in the eyes of major investors. Therefore, although it has developed very rapidly, there are still few investors coming.
Coupled with the huge gap in infrastructure, the empire's Internet only covers the eastern region, and only some cities in the central region have it.
In the western region, except for a few large cities, there is no trace of the Internet.
Computers are still high-tech products in the empire. A latest GB4 computer costs 21,000, and GB3 costs 10,000.
Those who can afford personal computers are all wealthy families in first-tier cities.
The Internet is a high-tech product. The access fee is 1,200 yuan, the information fee is 500 yuan per month, and the bandwidth is only 1 megabyte.
Ordinary people cannot afford such high consumption.
Most people still go to Internet cafes to spend money, but Internet cafes are only common in first-tier cities and are rare in second-tier cities. The price is as high as 6 yuan per hour.
The current price in the Empire is two yuan for a bowl of vegetarian noodles and four yuan for a chicken leg. Playing for an hour will cost you a chicken leg and a bowl of noodles.
Obviously, it is not for the poor, at least only middle-class families can afford it.
The player group of Red Moon Legend is almost entirely young people, with an average age of around 20 years old and an annual family income of at least 150,000 yuan, which is also the middle class in first-tier cities.
If placed in the entire empire, they would definitely be a high-income class.
That is to say, they have the capital and are more willing to become potential RMB warriors.
No, this is the Imperial Warrior.
Apart from age, it perfectly fits the group of players who like to play a certain month.
Lin Wen thought about it and instantly came up with a better solution. He temporarily transformed himself into a product manager and said the most annoying thing for programmers: "I want to change a requirement."
However, Qi Mu and his friends did not have any special reaction, which made Lin Wen feel a little disappointed.
"Add a gold ingot exchange system and allow gold ingot withdrawals."
“Allow players to trade with each other using ingots.”
"Change your boss's drops. The chance of dropping finished equipment will be significantly reduced. The main drops will be materials not available in the mall. The equipment must also be able to be enhanced, and the enhancement mechanism should mimic that of a dungeon."
Lin Wen briefly explained the dungeon's enhancement mechanism, especially the fact that the actual success rate was half of what was written on the surface, which amazed all the friends.
In this case, the big guys often strengthen the explosion, and the demand for materials is relatively high. In addition to greatly promoting transactions between players, it will inevitably give rise to a large number of workers.
As long as the demand from the rich is high enough, making the revenue from the game higher than the internet fee, it will stimulate the influx of a large number of civilian players.
They will use gold ingots to purchase materials from civilian players, and civilian players can withdraw gold ingots.
It is equivalent to taking money from the rich and giving it to ordinary players. The rich are happy, the ordinary players get benefits, and both parties are happy.
It can also greatly promote the popularity of the game.
After all, no one wants to play in a deserted environment.
Finally, Lin Wen warned, "Don't let the attribute gap become too large. Even the top boss will die if besieged by a large group. Remember, the battle between people is endless and the most passionate. Don't stifle their passion."
In this way, the newly born Blue Moon Legend combines all the explosive points of the previous life game.
1. Free.
2. High experience and high critical rate, so cool.
3. You can get equipment by exploding, which is in line with the current world view of online games and makes the experience even more exciting.
4. Due to the high explosion rate, it is very easy to restart after being exploded. The top equipment can add protection, but it cannot protect the whole body, which is acceptable to both parties.
5. You can spend gold.
6. You can make money by recycling ingots.
The most important thing is that it can attract a large number of civilian players, otherwise it would be meaningless if only the rich played it.
Although this kind of cheesy game was absolutely rubbish in the past, it now represents the most advanced and civilized mechanism.
Because it invisibly narrowed the gap between the rich and the poor in the empire, found a way for some civilians to make money, and temporarily eased some conflicts.
Of course, Lin Wen has to do much more than just this.
There are two more updates at 1 and 6 o'clock
