The next day.
Sunday.
Zheng Lin didn’t step out of the house all day.
He spent the entire day in the living room playing "Warfire" with Tang Qing.
Zheng Lin wasn’t really a gaming fanatic and didn’t have much interest in gas; he found them boring and childish. However, he was drawn to the rich and diverse gaplay of "Warfire".
"Tang Qing, what were the ga developers thinking? It’s so fun, especially the behind-the-scenes computer technology. The graphics, the sound effects, it’s just too perfect. I can assure you, this ga will undoubtedly be the highest-grossing ga of next year, without question," Zheng Lin said with complete certainty.
He didn’t just pull this out of thin air.
It was evident from his own experience. He had just been blinded by a group of people wielding golden AKs, then killed by a guy in golden armor brandishing a samurai sword that emitted a purple aura. This left him rather indignant.
So, he opened up the in-ga mall.
It felt like discovering a new world.
Without a doubt, upon seeing the most expensive golden dragon robe costing ten thousand yuan, the wealthy Zheng Lin didn’t care if it fit the ti setting or not; he gritted his teeth and purchased it imdiately. Then, he couldn’t stop. He and Tang Qing started a survival map.
An entire afternoon.
Just to arm himself to the teeth.
Zheng Lin spent nearly fifty thousand yuan, which was legit RMB, and it all went into fancy gears. Fortunately, the ga was well balanced. The items were more for show, with so special effects, or a slight increase in accuracy and stability for so weapons.
It wasn’t ga-breaking or anything like pushing a map.
"Perhaps," Tang Qing said nonchalantly.
"Not perhaps, it’s a fact. Although I don’t usually play gas, it doesn’t an I have no insight. This ga, it’s definitely going to take off, and in a big way," Zheng Lin said with a look of awe.
Tang Qing found that amusingly ironic.
Zheng Lin turned out to be a gear fanatic.
Once you captured his interest, he didn’t care about the cost.
"Warfire" launched yesterday morning at his command, and by four-thirty that afternoon, the number of registered users exceeded half a million. And it was spreading like wildfire due to word of mouth, thanks to the ga’s impressive quality.
It had the graphics and performance speed of a standalone ga combined with the diverse gaplay of an online ga. These sorts of players don’t have high demands. So long as the graphics were good, the ga balance rational, and it didn’t overheat their computers, people would be interested.
And.
"Warfire" had it all.
Thus.
It beca an undeniable hit.
Even those who didn’t play shooting gas couldn’t resist playing a couple of matches, and then they couldn’t stop.
Players actively promoted the ga, forming teams to recruit others.
Within just a day, the item shop of "Warfire" generated close to ten million yuan in profits for the operating company. Not only the local players but also foreigners enjoyed "skins".
Each country’s store had different items, such as clothes, crafted based on the country’s history, culture, and customs. There were flashy symbolic knife props. For instance, in the Huaxia area, the most expensive item was Zheng Lin’s golden dragon robe.
The golden shimr.
The moving dragon.
The special effects that flashed across the entire body from ti to ti.
It was reminiscent of "Miracle", but not as exaggerated.
Essentially, it was all for show.
That was the definition of an item shop prop.
"Argh... killed again. They actually ganged up on . I need backup. Ti for so payback. I’ve rembered their nas. They’re on for a match next ti," roared Zheng Lin, who was just sneakily killed, preparing to rally his friends for a counterstrike.

Tang Qing was left speechless at his reaction.
Without uttering a word, he rely observed the ga data on the side.
The numbers for downloads, registered users, and online players were expanding at an explosive pace, with hundreds of increases every second. All these figures were real and visible to all players. Tang Qing could also see the sales information of the in-ga shop items in one corner. Few people had access to that. It was a targeted push by the command room.
The sales figures had initiated a snowball effect.
Each minute, it was increasing by tens of thousands of yuan.
Was that a lot?
Not really.
Rember that the promotional focus was on virtually all major ga websites and communities worldwide, including purchased ad slots and ’illegal pop-ups’ achieved through technological ans.
It had an incredibly broad reach.
Even before all the global ga companies could react, it had already amassed extensive influence.
Tang Qing predicted every gaming company worldwide was hosting a eting right now.
Discussing the ga company that was bound to beco a dominant force.
And indeed, as he thought.
The sudden appearance of "Warfire" shocked many major ga companies worldwide. They rushed to analyze this ga, but the conclusion was that they couldn’t replicate it. The ga engine was a massive barrier.
This was a whole new ga engine, coupled with code algorithms, demonstrating incredibly high compression and execution efficiency. Whether it was weapons, maps, backgrounds, plants, or anything else, it functioned with extre efficiency.
Like a blade of grass being swayed by the wind.
While it isn’t difficult for them to realize this effect, hundreds of blades of grass swaying in the wind would cause an average computer to overload when the background is scaled up. However, it seems that the ga in front of them could handle it with ease.
It was impossible to copy the ga.
Moreover, it would take at least a year to make even a simplified version of this ga, and the final product would be over thirty gigabytes. Even for the high-end computers of this era, it would be very challenging to run such a ga. Isn’t this ridiculous?
Therefore, every ga developnt company turned their attention to this new and erging ga company.
anwhile.
Facing the universally acclaid "Warfire", they received their first investnt application, nearly ten requests for technical cooperation and developnt, and dozens of requests to purchase the ga engine and optimization algorithm.
Although it had only been a day.
That didn’t stop professionals from assessing its value.
...
United States.
New York.
In an office building in Midtown Manhattan Business District.
On the fifty-first floor.
This was the base of the ’ERV’ ga company, the developnt and operation company of "Warfire".
As the saying goes: When in Ro, do as the Romans do.
The ’Internet Industry Alliance Plan’ aims to break through from the inside, root in the local area, and then expand worldwide with the advantages and protection of that country. Hence, there was no distinctive ’Huaxia’ style.
They chose a na corresponding to the country they are in, rendering it easier to operate in that country.
Winters.
A manager at IDG’s Internet Investnt Departnt.
IDG.
International Data Group of the United States.
The largest tech publishing, research, event, and investnt company in the world, and they were very interested in information technology. After the launch of "Warfire", their tech departnt concluded that this company had imnse potential.
So.
He hurried over.
To make sure he wasn’t beaten by others.
As an industry insider, he knew how fast information spreads and how crazy these money-slling funds can be.
Upon reaching the floor and encountering the nourishing environnt of ’ERV’, Winters quickly walked in. After multiple levels of notification, he finally t the owner of the company, an Arican white soldier.
"Hello, our IDG is interested in investing in your company."
Without beating around the bush, Winters stated his intention. If others requested financing, investors could raise their tails high and act arrogantly. However, this was a proactive investnt offer, so they needed to lower their stance.
"Sorry, Mr. Winters, our ERV currently does not need financing. We have sufficient funds and are operating well," the soldier responded with a smile. As a trained soldier, his social skills were top-notch.
"Ten million dollars for 20% of the shares. I believe that with financing from IDG, your company can achieve a much greater developnt. Please rember, seeking an investnt company isn’t just about finding funds — it’s also about finding the right channels.
This is also why many well-funded enterprises still accept financing. They can gain larger developnt space through the channels of the investnt company. As long as you accept our investnt, our myriad relationships and cooperative partners can facilitate many things," said Winters, believing that the soldier didn’t understand the deeper aning behind financing, so he gave a brief explanation.
Unfortunately.
Still, the soldier had no interest.
"Mr. Winters, I’m not particularly interested in financing, nor do I want to divest my shares. Our ’Warfire’ doesn’t need to produce CDs, doesn’t need offline sales channels, doesn’t need technical support, nor does it need TV, ga consoles, or other terminal platforms. It just requires a computer. Therefore, your reasoning is hard to convince ."
Winters was a little frustrated.
When the other party is not interested in even publishing channels and platforms, one indeed cannot do anything about that. This kind of negotiation is the most tiring; not having what the other party needs is the most terrifying in the investnt field.
"Then, would we be able to purchase your packaging and optimization algorithms?" Winters was not interested in the ga engine. IDG is not a ga company, but a company oriented towards investnt and application in computer technology.
Still, the soldier shook his head.
Just as he was about to give up.
The soldier suddenly said, "However, we can provide optimization services."
"Optimization services?" Winters asked, puzzled.
"Yes, we can undertake various optimization services and cooperate with IDG. I believe with IDG’s channels and capabilities, we should be able to make a lot of money." The soldier said calmly.
What the command room values are IDG’s channels, especially a company called ISIS Technology, which is a low-key company wholly-owned by IDG that specializes in providing information technology services to the U.S. military.
This company has been committed to large-scale weapon simulation calculation evaluation, various warship data processing software, and hardware instruction set optimization developnt, all of which have high requirents for algorithms and software.
In recent years, with the explosive growth of Internet access devices, it has beco increasingly difficult to achieve comprehensive surveillance. Looking at the ever-increasing number of servers in the machine room, finally, a project nad ’Accelerate Network Data Transmission, Storage, and Analysis Technology’ was established.
The Command Room’s intention was to seize this opportunity.
To penetrate the circle of U.S. Defense Computer Technology contractors.
ISIS Company.
Happens to have the qualification to recomnd.
