Chapter 18: Accompany me to the provincial capital

Views:

"You brat, what have you been busy with these two days? How much have you estimated?"

The next morning, Li Mu received a call from Chen Wan before going out. Faced with her question, Li Mu replied with a smile: "Sister Wan, I haven't been busy with anything in the past two days. I have been busy playing. I estimate the score is 620. More than ten.”

"Ouch!" Chen Wan exclaimed: "Are you really that awesome?"

"It's guaranteed to be replaced if it's fake."

“How much is English estimated?”

"About 140 points."

"Hey, I don't believe you." Chen Wan's words were a bit arrogant, and Li Mu could imagine how cute she looked when she was deliberately arrogant.

Chen Wan really didn't believe it. Li Mu was hit like that by him before taking the English test. Wouldn't it be affected to some extent? If he can get around 140 points in this test, then this kid is too awesome!

"If you don't believe me, I'll throw you away." Li Mu pretended to be unhappy and said, "If you don't believe me, then I won't tell you anymore. I still have something to do, so I'm going out now."

"Hey, no!" Chen Wan said hurriedly: "If you dare to hang up on me, I will never be done with you."

Li Mu was helpless: "Sister, what exactly are you going to do?"

"I won't make any trouble at all." Chen Wan said with a smile, and then asked, "Are uncle and aunt going to work?"

"Yeah." Li Mu responded and asked, "Why, you want to come to my house?"

"Who wants to go to your house!" Chen Wan spat hurriedly and said, "I'll pick you up later, let's go out and play!"

Li Mu's mind was still on the recorder that Erbin had promised him, and he quickly asked: "Sister, where do you want to go? I'm going to the Internet cafe. Do you want to come with me? I'll treat you."

"I don't want to go to an Internet cafe. I want to go to the provincial capital for something to do. Why don't you come with me by car?" Chen Wan said, and quickly added: "I have been practicing hard in the past two days, and my technical level has improved significantly." improve."

Although the expressway network in 2001 already had a considerable scale, most of the highways that were completed and opened to traffic were trunk lines. For example, the expressway from Haizhou to the provincial capital will not be completed until 2004, although it is only less than 200 kilometers away from the provincial capital. But the train only takes two and a half hours, and the car is no guarantee.

"Forget it, sister, the provincial capital is too far away..."

Chen Wan's voice immediately became coquettish, and she was acting coquettishly with this boy who was three years younger than her: "Please, Li Mu, I have something to do when I go to the provincial capital, but it's hard to buy train tickets. I can't drive by myself." I'm a little scared, but if you stay with me, I feel confident, otherwise I wouldn't dare to drive alone..."

Li Mu hesitated for a while. He really didn't want to go to the provincial capital at this time, but he had personally experienced Chen Wan's driving skills. If she was really allowed to go by herself, he wouldn't be able to rest assured.

In his last life, Li Mu waited until 10 years before he bought a domestically produced FAW Pentium B50. Although the car was not worth much, he had six years of actual driving experience. His driving experience must be better than that of Chen Wanqiang. He could be a guide by following her. , no matter what happens, you can still drive for her. Drunk driving has not yet been punished, and no one is investigating. Almost all traffic lights do not have cameras. This is an era when traffic management is relatively loose.

Looking at the time again, it was just after nine o'clock. Er Bin must have arrived at the Internet cafe, and he must have taken the recording with him. Even installing the driver and recording would only take half an hour longer at most.

So Li Mu gritted his teeth and agreed, saying, "Okay, but when will we come back?"

Chen Wan cheered: "If I can't come back today, I'll do it tomorrow. Let's see how things go."

"But you have to accompany me to the big spider first, I have something to do."

"Okay, I'll be at the gate of your community right away. You can come out in five minutes."

After hanging up the phone, Li Mu quickly called Zhao Kang and told him that he was going out and would not go to the Internet cafe this afternoon and would contact him when he came back.

Afterwards, Li Mu simply packed up, found a school bag and stuffed a change of clothes. The weather was too hot, so if he had to stay overnight in the provincial capital, he would have to have a change of clothes. He then left a note at home, not daring to tell his parents that he was going. No, I just said that I would go to a classmate's house in the evening. If I drove to the provincial capital with Chen Wan, my parents would definitely be worried.

After leaving the community, Chen Wan poked her head out of an old Audi A6 and waved to Li Mu: "Xiao Mu, here it is!"

Li Mu was startled. He came closer and looked at the rear of the car. The displacement turned out to be 2.8, which should be the highest configuration of the domestic A6.

Opening the passenger door and getting in, Li Mu looked at the almost brand-new interior and teased Chen Wan, "Sister Wan, is this the car you were driving when you hit me that day?"

"No, this car went out that day. I drove a Passat..."

Li Mu nodded, rich man, even a Passat in this era costs over 200,000 yuan, and the 2.8-inch A6 with the top configuration is probably about 600,000 yuan, right? It seems that I did not unfairly accuse Chen Wan of being fair and rich.

Chen Wan was wearing Nike sportswear today, including sports shorts and a sports T-shirt. It was probably for the convenience of driving, but it was indeed a pleasure to look at Chen Wan's long white legs through the gear lever.

"You want to go to Big Spider first, right?"

"right!"

"good."

Chen Wan first drove Li Mu to the door of Big Spider. Before getting out of the car, Li Mu said to her, "Wait for me in the car. I'll be down in about half an hour."

"Okay." Chen Wan looked at the time and said, "If you can finish it in half an hour, we can still make it to Jinling City for lunch."

Li Mu nodded. When he arrived at the Internet cafe, there were not many people there. When Er Bin saw him coming in, he took out a gift bag from the counter and handed it to Li Mu: "The recorder and three empty disks."

Li Mu opened it and took a look: "Brother Erbin, thank you!"

"polite."

"I'll go up first."

When he arrived at the partition room, Li Mu took out the recorder from the gift bag. HP's CD-Writer series is considered to be the first-class product nowadays. There were three empty CD-ROM disks, but the total data Li Mu wanted to burn was not much. to 100 MB, one disk is enough.

It took almost twenty minutes to download the official driver and burning software, and identify the burner. Fortunately, the writing speed of the burner was fast enough, and the data was completed in a few minutes.

Li Mu thought that since there were three disks, he simply burned three copies to avoid data damage.

After the burning was completed, Li Mu cleared all the data in the computer.

There was not much money left. After the data was settled, Li Mu was not going to charter any more flights, so he greeted Er Bin. Er Bin didn't care, and pushed him out of the door without asking for Li Mu's money.

When Li Mu saw that he still had about two hundred yuan, he went to the cigarette shop next door and bought two packs of hard Chinese. After throwing them to Er Bin, he ignored him yelling anxiously at the counter, turned around and ran away.

Back in Chen Wan's car, Li Mu asked Chen Wan, "How to get to the provincial capital? Do you know the way?"

"I know." Chen Wan nodded: "Go west out of the city and take the national highway. Keep walking along the national highway and you will reach the suburbs of Jinling. It will be easier to find there."

"OK." Seeing that she was confident, Li Mu fastened his seat belt and waved his hand: "Okay, let's go."

Just as Chen Wan was driving straight to Jinling, Sun Peng, who was in a residence in Zhongguancun, Yanjing, was about to collapse.

From yesterday to this morning, he added Li Mu's QQ more than 20 times in a row, but all the friend requests came to nothing, and the Stone Overlord has completely detonated among the Stone Age players at this moment!

The number of downloads counted by various websites exceeds 300,000, which has basically exceeded the peak number of people online at the same time in the Stone Age. It also basically indicates that most ultra-active players, as well as a considerable number of more active players, have downloaded Stone Overlord. .

Sun Peng has been receiving feedback from major agents. At present, it is basically certain that all Internet cafe dealers have united and informed the provincial agents of their decision to compensate users. This is equivalent to telling the provincial agents in a more tactful way. , it is impossible to settle the money for them in July. If they do not come out with a new plug-in that can surpass the Stone Overlord, then they will not continue to sell the Abe plug-in, and they will not be able to sell it at all anyway.

Compensation is okay. Sun Peng can tolerate not making a penny in July, but he can't tolerate this income line being completely cut off.

But if the impact of the Stone Overlord is allowed to continue like this, Abe will be dead in a week at most.

He will fight to the death... This person even has such a violent temper in his online name. It seems that he really wants to fight to the death. It is easy for him to kill himself with the Stone Overlord, and the strength of his group is indeed as good as him. Underground, incomparable.

Once Abei's plug-in loses the market, he can imitate his own model and build a level-by-level distribution network. At that time, he will never be able to make a comeback.

Not only Sun Peng was anxious, but the other two partners with shares and even other developers were also anxious.

The monthly revenue of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan, calculated based on 200,000 yuan, excluding all expenses and employee wages, the three of them can share more than 100,000 yuan. Among them, Sun Peng, as the major shareholder, can get 60,000 to 70,000 yuan alone. Yuan, in 2001, 60,000 to 70,000 yuan could buy a small apartment in a third-tier city, and a two-bedroom apartment in a fifth-tier city like Haizhou.

Seeing that these incomes will not be guaranteed.

"We have to contact this guy who never stops." Sun Peng smoked five cigarettes in a row and said to the people around him: "He may not have a complete sales network now. If you want to make money from the Stone Overlord, you will inevitably have to worry about it. If you can follow him To establish contact, on the one hand, we use our sales channels to attract people, and on the other hand, we advocate that the follow-up life of the Stone Age game will not be long. If we can attract him to bring out Stone Overlord to cooperate with us, we will still have a chance of survival. , otherwise, we will have no choice but to disband."

Jia Bei was a rather sinister person, smacking his lips, and suddenly remembered something, and said: "The Game Kingdom Forum is in Yanjing, and it was also one of the forums where they originally uploaded Stone Overlord. I will try to find their administrator and give him some advice. The good thing is to find out the IP address where the uploader registered and logged in!"
