When I actually fell asleep, I realized that I was really tired...

Slept for two days.

{Time: June 2, 2004}

{Location: United States-Washington State Flower Planting-D.C.}

It's late at night in the Special Administrative Region, but various players from all over the world are still fighting fiercely on various servers and battle networks of Wegame.

Whether it is stand-alone games such as "Warcraft", "StarCraft", or "CS", or "World of Warcraft", a massively multiplayer online game that has spread throughout various forums within a few hours. Wegame relies on

Its unique concept connects the hardware, software and network technology that can be applied in this era, giving all kinds of players a feast.

Since wegame went online, it has gathered 1.5 million users from all over the world in less than 12 hours! The most exaggerated thing is that 20 hours after wegame went online, there were as many as 2.3 million global users, and an exaggerated 1.5 million people were online at the same time!

This result made a fat man with eyes in Washington State, USA, stunned!

The fat man with eyes is named Gabe Newell, and he is the founder of Valve Software.

In August last year, their company also launched a game update platform called Steam. However, the platform had only 300,000 users at most that day, and there were less than 20,000 people online at the same time. However, the Wegame platform in front of him only had a "CS" section.

There are 150,000 people online at the same time!

10 people,

16 people,

32 people,

There are even individual hosts for 2 or 4 people, and a total of nearly 7,000 created hosts of various types exist in the "CS" battle hall.

Gabe Newell has just tested it. He tried to register as a Wegame user, and then in the "CS" game lobby, he can indeed create a host or join a host at will. Because the game "CS" can be opened by clicking "Quickly"

Join" to quickly join the most suitable online game server that matches the user's current usage environment.

It’s just this function that their steam doesn’t have!

You must know that Steam was first launched to update and network the game "Half-Life" owned by Valve. However, this "CS" is basically born out of their "Half-Life" and is a

A battle game created by players using mods from "Half-Life".

In February of this year last year, the Wegame company contacted them in order to allow this "CS" that was born out of the "Half-Life" mod to be logged into Wegame. At that time, he just simply said

After thinking about it, I made a very casual authorization, authorizing Wegame to set up a "CS" server.

But I didn’t expect that once wegame was launched,

Such impressive results!

150,000 people are online at the same time!

The achievements that Valve Software's "Half-Life" cannot achieve, are actually easily achieved by "CS"?

Is it the success of the Wegame model or the success of the game "CS"?

When Gabe Newell saw such results, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

***+***

Although he rested at around two in the morning, Ning Zimo got up at 6:50 in the morning as a habit he had developed over the years.

The first thing he did when he got up today was to turn on the computer. He wanted to take a look at Wegame's data for the past 24 hours.

Go to desktop,

Open the magpie bridge,

After logging into the Wegame work dedicated network through Queqiao, Ning Zimo saw gratifying data.

3 million registered users in 24 hours. This data is more than 10 times the highest number of registered users when G Fat's 2003 version of Steam was launched. After all, although no advertising fees were invested in Wegame in the past, it was only an electronic version signed by Blizzard and Wegame.

The online agency sales agreement is already the largest advertisement in the industry.

In the 2 months before wegame went online, although the official website was not officially launched, it continued to update various functions after wegame went online through other channels. Although the official website only has a continuous countdown time, it is such a novel method.

Naturally, it attracted everyone's attention.

The purpose of posting a countdown is not to deliver the latest information about wegame. Curiosity will lead people to search for information about wegame, and appropriate side exposure of [bing search], [celebrity plan], and [myspace] will naturally make people

Apart from being satisfied, I am even more looking forward to the emergence of wegame.

However, the implementation of these predicted and planned things is not what Ning Zimo is most concerned about. He is more concerned about the data of "CS".

In the past 24 hours, a total of 500,000 users of "CS" have participated in the battle lobby, and the highest number of simultaneous online users has reached 150,000.

This shows that the game "CS" may have more space worth exploring during this period.

It's a pity that Valve's G Pang probably won't sell the copyright of "CS" or "Half-Life" to himself. After all, G Pang's Steam is a potential competitor of Wegame. It's okay for Wegame to debut too early

To win more users, will potential rivals like Steam produce corresponding strategies?

Especially the fat guy, although he looks mellow, he still has a pretty good brain. If he also sees something from the popularity of "CS", maybe he won't be able to implement the simplest and most direct plan in the FPS game company.

Wegame has a big game plan.

After thinking twice more, Ning Zimo did not dwell on this issue any longer.

After all, even Yahoo tempted Amazon to do b2c business because it wanted to create a competitor.

In this life, any kind of butterfly effect is not surprising.

The point is, no matter how chaotic it is, it is all planned by yourself. Then when you build the two-way foil, you will not be afraid of these variables.

Thinking of this, Ning Zimo got up and walked out of the bedroom. Unexpectedly, at this point, he could hear some soft noises coming from the kitchen.

Could it be that the little lazy guy has changed his habits?

Curiosity led Ning Zimo to tiptoe to the place where the sound originated.

When he walked to the kitchen door, the rhythmic sound of knives and chopping boards in the kitchen made Ning Zimo deny what he was thinking.

The little lazy boy knows how to cook,

But my knife skills have never been so good.

There are 4 people living in this house now,

Xi Mengyun, that is the habit of the eldest lady,

Is this person in the kitchen Sima Lin?

For a moment, Ning Zimo couldn't think of why he quietly poked his head out from the door, but from the only angle by the door, he saw the morning light coming straight through the glass outside the kitchen window.

On the side is the morning light passing through the hall. Sima Lin's slender figure bowed in front of the chopping board is particularly focused. Four lunch boxes of different colors are in front of the chopping board, and the lunch box with the words "Ning Zimo" is on it.

On her left side closest to him.

Is she preparing breakfast and lunch?

The long hair that she usually wore or tied back was rolled into a ball and placed behind her head. The ball undulated regularly with the movements of her left hand holding the knife, while her forehead, the tip of her nose, and her chin

The scene with fine beads of sweat gathering at certain points and reflecting a halo is very similar to the scene at a certain moment that I saw in Tai O Village one day.

I thought,

That would be a scene,

Nice scene.

But not,

That turned out to be a pair,

A picture with a long aftertaste.

It will always come to mind at some point due to some indescribable thoughts.

"Hey~~ You're not going to have to take care of breakfast and lunch for all of us, right?" Ning Zimo chuckled softly as he spoke and walked into the kitchen softly.

Hearing Ning Zimo's voice suddenly appeared beside her, Sima Lin visibly paused.

But she quickly stabilized her figure, turned her head and smiled at Ning Zimo, "My appetite may become lighter the next day after staying up late, so I made some light food for everyone to eat at lunch."

Some light foods are several kinds of rice balls neatly stacked on the chopping board. The casserole on the stove clearly smells of the unique aroma of millet porridge. It is now 6:58, but Sima Lin

The progress in hand seems to have reached the final stage.

"It's impossible to make so many varieties if you don't have time." Ning Zimo pursed his lips, paused and then pointed at Sima Lin's eyes and said, "If a girl doesn't get enough beauty sleep, will she easily develop dark circles?

?”

"I have found a suitable way of working and resting for myself when I was doing my research." Sima Lin straightened up, wrinkled her nose at Ning Zimo and smiled, "I'm not as easy to fool as Jun Ya, so you'd better go wash up, Cai

The meal will be ready in a few minutes."

Neither of them pointed to a specific time, but they captured the information they wanted to obtain from their respective questions and answers.

Sima Lin raised her chin and accurately "pointed" to the location of the bathroom.

Ning Zimo smiled, nodded and walked out of the kitchen.

After taking two steps, he turned back.

As soon as he stopped, the knife that Sima Lin had just danced also stopped.

The two people's eyes caught each other's eyes in the air.

"emmm, thank you."
Chapter completed!
