Chapter 73: The number of game players exceeds 100 million
. The battle between Wen Xin and Shili Tiaohua can be summarized in four words.
Men go up and women go down.
Wen Xin had the upper hand and suppressed the opponent all the way. She was unable to breathe due to the tight pressure, and finally lost the flag-planting duel.
Spicy glutinous rice balls laughed loudly: "Brother Wen is awesome, unlike Brother Sun, who can lose to girls."
There were blue veins on his forehead.
Hot and sour tofu pudding: "The strongest PVP among female players seems to be the president of the Dark Night Guild, not Shili Peach Blossom."
Autumn Wind Fallen Leaves: "Xueying's PVP level is indeed the best among female players. As a female player She defeated countless male players and won the championship in the Yuyou.com PK competition, and was called the empress by everyone."
There are very few female players who can convince Qiufeng Luoye, and Xueying is one of them.
Ling Jing knows the past of one man, one city most clearly: "The first time a man lost to a female player, he was against the blood shadow. From then on, he was out of control, as if he was cursed, and he never defeated a female player again."
Desert Guyan As a Hall of Fame player, I can receive some official inside information that ordinary players cannot receive: "Youwang may hold a World of Warcraft online carnival in a while. The highlight of it is the PVP invitational tournament. Blood Shadow will definitely participate. One person should be able to I received the invitation, are you interested in participating?"
Lingjing refused to give face to his old friend: "Losing again?"
A vein popped up on his forehead: "Young Master Qianqian, I will not compete with female players."
Spicy glutinous rice balls laughed loudly: "I'm just an empress. I, Brother Wen, will definitely win. Brother Wen is a master killer. I'm not talented. I'm just a girl killer."
Wen Xin is very strong in PVP.
After a battle with Shili Peach Blossom, he was unanimously recognized by everyone.
There are many players who can defeat Shili Peach Blossom, but there are only a handful of players who can force her to the point where it becomes difficult to fight back.
Shili Taohua, who fought with Wen Xin, felt the deepest feeling. She could feel that Wen Xin understood the mage's skills and characteristics better than she did. He grasped the mage's weak points from beginning to end and restrained her to death, leaving her unable to fight back. .
Wen Xin has 18 years of experience in the World of Warcraft game and has a lot of professional characters. He understands all the professional changes in World of Warcraft in the next 18 years better than anyone else.
Ten Miles of Peach Blossom was not unjustly defeated.
"The president lost, that man is really strong."
"Ah, this is the first round that the president lost. If it comes two more times, won't we have to collectively dowry him?"
"Isn't it twice? First kill in Stormwind City Prison. Count it once."
"Then according to your calculation, the president has lost three times, so you can marry him directly."
The girls in Shengshi Taoyuan seemed to be very happy that Shili Peach Blossom lost. They wished that their president would lose three games in a row to avoid the president. Become an old girl.
Shili Dihua stared at Wen Xin's eyes, trying to see through him: "The registration number of World of Warcraft will soon exceed 100 million."
Wen Xin raised his eyebrows: "It's amazing."
In reality, World of Warcraft was in 2014 At the 10th anniversary carnival, Blizzard officially announced that the number of global players exceeded 100 million, reaching 170 million, and the number of characters created by players exceeded 500 million.
There is only one server in World of Warcraft in this dimension, so it is reasonable for the number of player registrations to exceed 100 million in just a few days.
In fact, even if the online player rate exceeds 100 million, Wen Xin will not be surprised. If 99% realistic holographic games were introduced into reality, not to mention 100 million online rates, 1 billion would not be a problem, and it might even be higher.
Shili Taohua continued: "The online rate of players now exceeds 50 million. If there are no anti-addiction restrictions, the online rate can reach more than 80 million."
Wen Xin nodded and continued to listen. He could not mention everything about the reality of this plane, and tried not to Go and mention it, lest anyone discover that you are not from this plane.
The only thing Wen Xin can be sure of is that there is no concept of country in this plane, only a federation, so the world has already unified language and culture.
Moreover, this plane is not necessarily Blue Star, it may be another planet, but it is similar to Blue Star in some aspects.
Therefore, Wen Xin never gets to the bottom of certain details. Don't look at this plane with Blue Star's understanding. The existence of this plane itself is unreasonable.
"It is a foregone conclusion that the number of player registrations will exceed 100 million within a week."
Shili Diaohua continued: "World of Warcraft has huge potential. My 100 million is not the end, but the starting point. It is immeasurable how many players can reach in the future. The competition in the game will be even more intense in the future. Intense."
The reason why she said so much was because she knew that Wen Xin must not have received official inside information and did not know about the upcoming online carnival.
"When the number of registrations reaches 100 million, the official will announce the holding of the first online carnival of World of Warcraft, and the official will invite well-known players to participate."
Shili Taohua told Wen Xin the inside story that the official revealed to her in advance: "You It has been in the limelight recently, and it is very likely to receive an official invitation." With
the number of registrations reaching 100 million, it is not surprising that the official party holds a celebration. After all, a player in this World of Warcraft is only allowed to create one character, and once the character is created, it cannot be deleted and rebuilt. The number of 100 million registrations is a real number of 100 million players, not a false data composed of one player and several battle networks.
"Is it an online carnival?"
Wen Xin can participate in the online carnival, and there is no need to go offline.
Shili Taohua nodded: "All game celebrations on You.com are held online. Federal laws do not allow players' personal information to be leaked. You.com will never violate federal laws by holding offline carnivals. Only those small game platforms have Offline events may be held secretly. It is almost impossible for games on these platforms to last long. Once discovered, they will be banned by the federation, and only a few players will play."
Wen Xin was grateful to this federal law for preventing him from being able to participate in the game celebration. The embarrassment of the activity greatly reduces the risk of exposure.
Wen Xin smiled and said: "I am an ordinary player in a small guild. The official will probably not invite me."
Shili Taohua affirmed: "Definitely, you will lead the Sihai Guild to win the first kill of Death Mine and Stormwind City Prison, and occupy two more dungeons. The number one position in racing is now the most popular, and the official has no reason not to invite you to participate in the event."
Wen Xin is very much looking forward to the first game carnival of World of Warcraft in this dimension: "Then I will wait and see."
Shili Peach Blossom reminded: "Official The invitation will be sent via game email. If you receive an email recently, be sure to check it in your mailbox."
This feeling is good, Wen Xin loves to death the federal laws of this plane to protect players' secrets.
Shili Taohua thought for a while and revealed another insider information to Wen Xin: "During the carnival, there will be a grand event in the game, and all players can participate in this event. No one knows what the specific event is, and it is created by the intelligent system. , I believe it will definitely not disappoint all players."
Everyone reveled.
Wen Xin likes it and looks forward to it very much.
...
Stormwind City Metro Station.
With a 10% experience bonus, Wen Xin's leveling efficiency is as fast as the wind. After participating in two activities, his level is among the best, and he is one of the few level 30 players.
Wen Xin, who was level 30, did not stay in Dusk Forest anymore and left the team to return to Stormwind City, preparing to take the subway to Ironforge.
Wen Xin decided to log off in Ironforge so that he could fight Gnomeregan tomorrow.
Others have not yet reached level 30 and will go offline in Ironforge after reaching level 30.
It was not the first time for Wen Xin to come to the Stormwind City subway station, but it was the first time to take the Stormwind City subway in the holographic World of Warcraft.
The Stormwind City subway in the PC version of World of Warcraft is very crude, no different from a mine cart.
The Stormwind City subway in the holographic World of Warcraft is very luxurious and full of technology.
"Standing ticket is 50 silver, third-class seat is 1 gold, second-class seat is 3 gold, and first-class seat is 5 gold."
The conductor at Stormwind City Subway Station reported the fare specifications. Wen Xin couldn't help but suspect that Stormwind City Subway Station was not operated by Stormwind City and Ironforge is jointly run by the goblins. Two days ago, Wen Xin would have bought a standing ticket, but now that he has more money, he would naturally buy a third-class seat.
A third-class seat is enough, and I’m not a wealthy person, so there’s no need to be extravagant about taking the subway.
After purchasing a third-class ticket, Wen Xin saw on the back of the ticket it said, "Don't try to run on the subway track, you will be crushed by the subway, and Stormwind City insurance will not pay for it."
This is to prevent players from evading fares and not taking the subway. From the subway track Run all the way to Ironforge, and if you dare to run on the subway track, you will be crushed directly.
Check in and check in.
The subway station is too clean and there are no rats. The classic subway station rat mission is gone.
Wen Xin was lucky and didn't have to wait long for the subway to Ironforge to depart.
The subway is divided into four areas. Players with standing tickets are all crowded in the end area. The third-class seats are in the third carriage. The carriages are directly separated by doors and players cannot pass through the carriages.
"Isn't this just the green train?"
Wen Xin was convinced. The third-class seats were the hard seats of the green train. He never expected that he would have to take the green train in reality, but he still couldn't escape it in the game.
The subway from Stormwind City to Ironforge runs extremely fast, and the whole journey only takes half an hour.
When the subway reached the middle section, many first-time subway users in the carriage couldn't help but marvel.
"Wow, undersea tunnel."
The subway will pass through water for a certain distance. Players can see the water isolated outside the tunnel glass through the car window, and there are many aquatic creatures swimming inside.
The tunnels in Stormwind City and Ironforge will pass through the west coast of the eastern continent. This section of the road is under the snow-capped mountains. Excavation is extremely difficult and the ticket price is understandably high.
Wen Xin couldn't help but look outside.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t see it, you will be surprised when you see it.
"Fuck, what a big boss."
"Calm down, this is the wonder of the subway tunnel. You will get used to it after sitting a few times."
A huge plesiosaur, hundreds of meters long, appeared outside the tunnel glass. Sticky glass wall swimming.
Compared with it, the plesiosaur in Lake Shisui is in the juvenile stage, and it is the real mature stage.
"Nice."
Wen Xin smiled, and the holographic World of Warcraft perfectly reproduced the wonder of the subway water monster Ness in the PC game World of Warcraft: "Level 63 friendly boss, what a pity." The
water monster Ness here is a friendly target, even if there are players who can find this area In the waters, I found the water monster Ness, but still couldn't attack it. It can only be regarded as a spectacle for players who take the subway to watch. Seeing it can make players worth their money.
The subway roared, the undersea tunnel passed quickly, and the map showed entering Dun Morogh.
Dun Morogh is located in the middle of the Eastern Kingdoms continent and northwest of the dwarven kingdom of Khaz Modan. It borders Loch Modan to the east, wetlands to the north, Searing Gorge to the south, and is surrounded by the Great Sea to the west.
Without taking the subway, if players want to get from Stormwind City to Dun Morogh, they must enter the Burning Steppes from Redridge Mountain, cross the dangerous Blackrock Mountain to Searing Gorge, then enter Loch Modan from Searing Gorge, and then reach Dun Morogh via Loch Modan.
Not only is the journey long, it also has to travel through two level 50-60 maps, which is simply impossible for players at their current level.
Therefore, the subway has become the most convenient means of transportation.
Of course, players who have opened the flight points in Ironforge and Stormwind City can also choose to take a gryphon pass to experience the scenery of the central part of the Eastern Kingdom.
Dun Morogh has arrived, and Ironforge is close at hand.
Ironforge is the main city of the dwarves. After the dwarves lost their main city of Gnomeregan, they settled in Ironforge. Therefore, Ironforge is regarded as half of the main city of the dwarves.
Ironforge is built in the Khaz Modan Mountains and on the peaks of the Dun Morogh Snow Mountains. The terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is the main city of the Alliance that has never been breached by foreign enemies.
In the game, when tribal players massacre a city, they usually give priority to avoiding Ironforge. Since there is no backdoor and there are a large number of players gathered, the difficulty of breaking it ranks first among all major cities.
Wen Xin likes to bind Hearthstone to Ironforge in the game, which was the real home of Alliance players in the 1960s.
With its excellent geographical location and convenient main city layout, Ironforge is the main city with the largest number of Alliance players in many versions. It carries the best memories of countless Alliance players.
The subway comes to Ironforge.
Wen Xin left the subway station and experienced this great steel city for the first time with his holographic senses.
"The fireworks from Ironforge smell better."
Wen Xin took a deep breath. The smell of fireworks from the smelting and forging sparks was intoxicating.
We arrived at the civilian area of Ironforge via a familiar road.
The large square in the civilian area is crowded with people, no less prosperous than Stormwind City.
"Ironforge will still become the main city with the most players."
Although there are currently not as many players here as Stormwind City, Wen Xin can be sure that as players level up, the focus of players will move from Stormwind City to Ironforge. This will still become the core gathering point for alliance players.
"Warning: The online time is about to reach 24 hours, and the game will be forcibly exited."
Amidst the warning sound of the system, Wen Xin came to the Firestone Hotel in Ironforge and bound the Hearthstone here.
First time coming to Ironforge. We definitely had to stay at the Firestone Hotel. Wen Xin luxuriously bought a room to stay there.
"Exit the game."
Wen Xin logged off.
"This income is being calculated"
"Income is being discounted"
"This income is discounted into real currency: 301526"
"Income is being transferred"
"301526 income has been accounted for. All income in this system is legal and cannot be pried into or inquired by any force in reality. .Any target that attempts to explore user income and poses a threat to the user will be considered a threat by the system and will clear the memory related to the user's income to ensure the absolute safety of the user." "The
anti-addiction system is turned on, and the anti-addiction time remains for 360 minutes."
This time The revenue from the game is not as high as expected. Even though you can see two epic weapons, the Sword of Twilight Heroes, they cost 10 gold each, so the discounted value cannot be too high.
Overall, the real benefit is the reward for participating in the event. Without the two activities, it would be difficult for the benefit to reach 300,000.
However, Wen Xin was very satisfied with 300,000.
Now his deposit has exceeded 700,000, and he is one step closer to his goal of buying a house. Soon he will be able to own his first house in the city.
Satisfied, Wen Xin took 6 hours to take a good rest and looked forward to entering the game again in 6 hours to create higher game profits.
