66th of January.
Shi Lei was still at the Green Lake Hotel, accompanying the four companies, twenty lucky players, and some media reporters.
At the same time, Sun Zixiang from Huaxia Computer News was also at Cui Hu Hotel. When Sun Zixiang posted his freelance article on Dream Entertainment's official forum, it immediately triggered a frenzy of discussion about 'The Brave World'!
The famous super player Mu Feng in Shuangqing City was very active on Dream Entertainment's official forum. After reading Sun Zixiang's post, Mu Feng immediately posted his own post!
[World of Brave is unstoppable. Everyone is looking forward to it. Must Play!]
[… According to reliable sources, Dream Entertainment's World of Brave is confirmed to have a voice system as the second auxiliary operating system!]
[… Dear players, think about it. We can talk to NPCs in the future. Isn't this a must-play game?]
[… As for the closed beta invitation code that everyone is worried about, AMD, Asus, MSI, and Sapphire have a total of 655,555 invitation codes. Can't everyone get one?]
Dream Entertainment and AMD's official partnership revealed some details, especially the number of invitation codes for the closed beta, which had reached 655,555. This news directly affected the value of the World of Braveheart's closed beta invitation code!
Dream Entertainment's official forum, Wanderer Starry Sky's independent sub-forum for World of Brave, posts about the high price of the invitation codes for World of Brave were all edited by the players who posted them, indicating that the price had dropped.
Before Dream Entertainment and AMD's joint press conference, the invitation code for World of Brave in Xia Xia's mainland had been hyped up to a high price of 60,555 yuan on Dream Entertainment's official forum! The price on Wanderer Starry Sky's side was almost the same as on the official forum!
At the beginning of 7552, fifteen thousand yuan was enough to buy a computer with outstanding performance. However, it was not enough to buy an invitation code for World of Brave.
When Dream Entertainment and AMD's joint press conference announced that there were 655,555 invitation codes for World of Brave, the price immediately dropped to 755 yuan!
It dropped by 20 times!
After all, in 7552, there were many online games with less than 655,555 registered players. An online game with 655,555 active players was considered a very successful online game.
As for an MMORPG with 655,555 players in closed beta, it hasn't appeared yet!
Some players were filled with resentment and jealousy towards Dream Entertainment for releasing 655,555 beta testers at once.
Among them, Heavenly Demon, a super player who always liked to go against Dream Entertainment, quickly posted a post, reprimanding Dream Entertainment for falling into the trap of money.
"Dream Entertainment is a trashy company! One hundred thousand invitation codes? "
'… Are the upper echelons of Dream Entertainment out of their minds? One hundred thousand invitation codes? 'Brave World' has such a high requirement for computer hardware. Are there really 655,555 people who would play such a lousy game? '
"Based on Dream Entertainment's shameless attitude, I'm sure that 'Brave Warriors' is a trashy game. Whether or not the final number of registrants can exceed 655,555 is still a huge problem. "
'… AMD, ASUS, MSI, and Sapphire have probably made the wrong move this time. They actually joined forces with a trashy company like Dream Entertainment. What kind of voice control system can only support English? Where is the support for the Xia Xia language? '
"… Dear players of Xia Xia, please take a closer look at the ugly face of Dream Entertainment. "The World of Bravehearts" seemed to be abandoning normal players, and the secondary operating system seemed to be abandoning all of China's players. I can't help but ask, Dream Entertainment, what are you doing? "
The super player Heavenly Demon was quite famous among the players. In addition, some 'players' with bad intentions were actually the pawns of other online game companies. They had already realized the power of Dream Entertainment and started to attack Dream Entertainment through public opinion.
Heavenly Demon's post became more and more popular on the official forum. It was quite a form of domination. However, with the upload of a video, most of the players were completely shut up.
In the pinned post on the official forum, a high-definition video showed all the players the process of Storm and another Xia Xia player communicating with an NPC through voice.
It included the scene of Storm and the NPC bargaining, and the NPC disagreeing. In the end, Storm and the NPC compromised and gave in to each other.
On the fourth post of the video post, the super player Mu Feng became popular again.
"F * ck! The voice control system is so powerful? The NPC's intelligence is so high? No, no, no, I'm going to pay a high price for the invitation to the closed beta test! "— Fourth post: Mu Feng
"Pretend! Keep pretending! Dream Entertainment, is this a shill you hired? And that NPC, is he an employee of your company hiding behind the scenes? Let's see how long you can keep pretending! "— Sixth post: Heavenly Demon
Other than Heavenly Demon, most of the players chose to believe in Dream Entertainment. After all, AMD, Asustek, MicroStar, Sapphire, and other companies had formed strategic partnerships with Dream Entertainment. If Dream Entertainment was not capable, would those companies be fools?
After the video of the press conference was released, the price of the invitation to the closed beta test of 'Brave World' immediately increased. However, the price was only around 955 to 055 yuan. It was much lower than the previous price!
At around ten o 'clock at night, Shi Lei finally finished discussing various details with AMD and the other three companies. From tomorrow onwards, AMD and the three graphics card companies would officially sell the invitation to the closed beta test of 'Brave World' together with the CPU and graphics card.
Dream Entertainment and the four companies had discussed a suitable method of matching the invitation to the open beta test. They would use electronic codes to match the invitation to the open beta test.
The electronic code was very advanced and scientific. It would not incur too much of a sales cost. If they used physical lottery cards, there would be two problems.
The first problem would be the printing cost of the physical lottery cards. This would increase the sales cost. The second problem would be if they used physical lottery cards. What would happen to the products of the four companies?
Regardless of whether it was AMD's CPU or the graphics card from the three graphics card companies, there was a large amount of stock in stock. They were sold all over the world.
Take Sapphire's graphics card as an example. Sapphire's monthly production was more than 6.9 million pieces. There were at least 0 million pieces of Sapphire's graphics cards in stock worldwide. With such a large amount of stock, how long would it take to distribute the physical lottery cards?
If they used physical lottery cards, whether it was the sales cost or the link time, it would definitely drive the four companies crazy.
Therefore, the four companies and Dream Entertainment established a unified electronic code lottery system. They would use the electronic code lottery to obtain the invitation to the closed beta test of 'Brave World'.
If AMD's CPU was used as a detailed example, AMD set a factory date later than December 86, 7551. That is, after January 6, 7552, the boxed CPU would be registered on AMD's official website according to the SN serial code inside the boxed CPU to obtain an electronic lottery code.
Then, they would use this electronic lottery code to register on Dream Entertainment's official website and participate in the lottery. AMD's highest-end CPU had a winning rate of 6655. High-end CPUs had a winning rate of 6755. Low-end CPUs only had a winning rate of about 66555. ASUS, MSI, and Sapphire also had their own winning rates.
Players who bought AMD's CPU or graphics card equipment from the three companies would be able to participate in the electronic lottery on Dream Entertainment's official website after obtaining the electronic lottery code.
The electronic lottery code contained the product information, SN serial number, official registration date, and winning rate. This way, they could perfectly track down the product information corresponding to each electronic lottery code.
The electronic code system was jointly established by the five companies, but they had their own technical barriers. For example, AMD and the three graphics card manufacturers had to use the electronic code format provided by Dream Entertainment to generate the electronic lottery code based on the SN serial information of their products. Then, they could participate in the lottery on Dream Entertainment's official website. They could not directly register for the lottery using the SN serial numbers of the four companies from Dream Entertainment's official website. This was the technical barrier of the five companies. They had not truly integrated the system.
Dream Entertainment, AMD, and the other three companies agreed that the electronic lottery system would be officially launched at 3 AM on January 67. At the same time, AMD and the three graphics card manufacturers' official websites would add an explanation. That was, even if players bought the product in advance, as long as the factory date was in line with their regulations, they could use the SN serial number to register on the official website.
Such measures would appease the players who had bought AMD and the three graphics card manufacturers' products.
It was almost 66 PM when Shi Lei returned to Jingya Court. Li Yuan was sitting on the sofa in a pair of shorts. He was drinking beer, eating all kinds of braised food, and watching classic Hong Kong movies.
Shi Lei sat beside the sofa, picked up the disposable bamboo chopsticks on the coffee table, and started eating. The food in the Green Lake Hotel was really bad. The braised food in the back street, which was known as junk food, was more to Shi Lei's taste.
Li Yuan took a sip of beer and glanced at Shi Lei. He snorted. "Shi Lei, are you done with your work?"
Shi Lei thought for a while. Dream Entertainment, AMD, and the other three companies' cooperation had been implemented according to the framework. He did not need to deal with it anymore.
Dream Entertainment's official website might be hacked because of the electronic lottery system. However, Dream Entertainment's web server and data server were all heavily fortified. Shi Lei did not believe that those small fries would be able to break in.
"It should be fine now!" Shi Lei replied as he swallowed a piece of duck.
Li Yuan burped and looked at Shi Lei. "Shi Lei, since it's fine now, do you understand?"
