After reading the announcement on the official website of Yunmeng Games, for a moment, Li Jinbo felt that the whole world had collapsed.
"No!"
"This is not true!"
His widened eyeballs were filled with bloodshot eyes, and he felt that the blood vessels in his body were swelling, as if the blood was boiling.
The office was deathly silent, with only the beeping of message notifications and his heavy breathing.
The employees sitting in the office looked at each other and didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Seemingly calming down, Li Jinbo took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice.
"How many orders have been closed?"
There was silence in the office, no one responded.
Li Jinbo's heart sank slightly. He probably guessed what happened, but he still couldn't bear to believe what he found.
His Adam's apple moved and he said in a hoarse voice.
"… Not a single order?"
"Boss..." the employee sitting next to him swallowed and whispered, "How about... we sell it cheaper? While there are still people buying it, maybe we can sell it a little bit more."
Sell it cheaper
A bitter smile appeared on Li Jinbo's face.
How cheap is cheap
How about giving it away for free
In order to acquire these activation codes, he not only invested all his working capital, but also took out a loan from the bank.
If he can't sell at a high price, let alone working for a few months in vain, I'm afraid he will go bankrupt in a few days...
Hunter Network Technology is not the only company that is in despair. Almost all the scalpers who speculate on activation codes are crying like a wolf and howling like a ghost.
It was agreed that only 10,000 activation codes would be released, but now it becomes 10,000 activation codes every few days
The activation code, which originally had a price but no market, was instantly slapped on the floor.
Now, let alone the wealthy people who are stupid and have a lot of money, even the idiots who originally prepared the money and planned to place an order chose to wait.
If you think about it for a while, you will know that as more and more activation codes are released, the price will drop sooner or later. There is no need to let those scalpers make money in vain.
Not long after the announcement on the official website was issued, it was quickly reprinted on the official account and official Weibo of Yunmeng Games.
At the bottom of Yunmeng Games’ official account, the number of comments exceeded 100 in less than a minute.
[What the hell? ! Putting weight every Thursday and Sunday? Isn’t this too conscientious?]
[Hahahahaha, so happy!]
[The price of second-hand platform activation codes has almost halved, and scalpers fainted in the toilet.]
[Don’t buy it, everyone! Haha, let those bully scalpers have their own fun.]
[I'm a little worried about Mr. Hao's safety. These guys who are engaged in gray production are not good people. If they are pushed into a hurry, they might jump over the wall.]
[What are you afraid of? Now we have a society ruled by law! Everyone puts protection on the public screen.]
[6666!]
"... These are a bunch of losers who fail to achieve anything but fail."
Browsing the announcement on the official website, Zhang Xiang, who had just created the character, sighed leisurely, closed the webpage and returned to the game interface.
The character he created is an undead, his career choice is a thief, and his birthplace is Deathstroke Town.
The sound of "Wake up" rang in the ears, and the character lying in the coffin opened his hazy eyes.
What he saw was a gray sky and the Val'kyr waiting beside the coffin.
Through the pale words, Zhang Xiang read through the past and present life of the character he controlled—
"You were originally a farmer working in the fields and died in the battle of Tide of Terror. However, these are not important. From the moment you climbed out of the coffin, you realized that you had been resurrected and became a forgotten person."
Staring at the computer screen intently, Zhang Xiang did not choose to fast forward, but quietly waited for the cutscene to end. Following Guevari's guidance, he controlled the character through the decaying cemetery and into the city.
The streetlights emitted a dark green light, like the evil energy lingering under Gul'dan's cloak. Bells rang from the distant church, but neither the choir's hymns nor the priest's prayers could be heard. Only cold and sharp wails blew through the silent streets, praising death.
Just like its name, every brick and tile of this city is full of weirdness and coldness.
The people walking on the streets are the resurrected souls, or ominous things that are uglier and more dangerous than the undead.
Seeing the picture in front of him, Zhang Xiang's first feeling was excitement, and the second feeling was reality.
Yes.
It's true!
Although the world view and background setting of the game is a fantasy world, everything here makes him truly feel the atmosphere of being in a different world.
It feels like...
This is not a game, but a living world.
If the full score is 100 points, Zhang Xiang can give an evaluation of more than 95 points based on the cutscenes and the novice task guide.
"There's something about this atmosphere... I almost want to put on some clothes."
After muttering something, Zhang Xiang controlled his character and arrived at a hotel.
Although the undead do not need to sleep, it is not only the undead that are entrenched in this city, but also allies of the tribe—such as orcs who believe in shamanism, trolls from the primeval forest, etc.
In the hotel, he saw a traveler wearing a fiery red cloak. From the slender ears and long pale golden hair, he can be identified as a blood elf from Silvermoon City in the Eastern Kingdom of Azeroth.
Noticing the player standing next to him, he opened his dry mouth and slowly uttered two words.
"revenge."
Zhang Xiang, who was sitting in front of the computer, was slightly stunned.
Not because of the hoarse voice, but because a voice window appeared on the screen in front of him.
Yes, that's a voice capture window.
In order to take care of players who do not have a microphone, there is also a row of input windows below the window, where you can use the keyboard to enter text.
Looking at the game, it means that dialogue is needed to promote the plot
An expression of interest appeared on Zhang Xiang's face, he turned on the microphone, and tried to repeat the NPC's words in a questioning tone.
"revenge?"
"Yes," the blood elf traveler nodded and looked at the quiet streets outside the hotel, "In the east of the continent, there is a beautiful city. It is like the crescent moon in the night sky... But even if I say this, you guys The undead probably won’t understand what I mean.”
"After that war, our city was destroyed by Alsace's army. Our prince swore revenge against the Scourge. From then on, the word revenge was engraved in the depths of my soul. Whether it is to pay tribute to the dead Compatriots, in order to restore the glory of Sin'dorei... "
Hearing this, a hint of surprise appeared on Zhang Xiang's face.
This guy should be talking about Silver Moon City, right
He still remembered that in the plot campaign of Warcraft: The Frozen Throne, there seemed to be a level about the fall of Silvermoon City.
So to say…
Is this plot of World of Warcraft really the story that happened after the Frozen Throne
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiang became more and more excited.
"...What happened to me today that I talked so much nonsense with an undead." The blood elf shook his head and put down the wine bottle in his hand, "Listen, follower of Sylvanas, you are still very weak now. And our enemies are very powerful. And the best way to grow is on the battlefield!"
"But before that, you have to choose your profession. Whether it's a warrior, a hunter, a priest, a mage, a warlock... or a stalker, a monk, or a death knight, I believe there is always something suitable for you."
"The legion commander is recruiting troops in the church. Did you hear the bells outside... If you want to contribute to the tribe, you should visit him immediately."
Following the guidance of the blood elf traveler, the character controlled by Zhang Xiang came outside the hotel and followed the path to the church.
When he arrived at the church, countless players had already gathered here, blocking the square in front of the church and making noisy discussions.
At this moment, Zhang Xiang finally understood why Yunmeng Games chose to issue activation codes in batches.
"Hell... you should leave as soon as you finish the mission! What are you doing standing around here?"
Gan!
There are so many damn people!
