The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 255

Next, this Toms will stay in the national server and will not leave.
So it is definitely impossible to play pvp battles, but there is no problem with PVE at all. Anyway, just verify the network when entering the game, and then every 10 minutes, the client will automatically verify the network. As long as it is not completely disconnected, it is completely It will not affect the experience of stand-alone games.

And all the skins purchased with the redemption code can be used in the end of PVE.

When it comes to the redemption code, Thomas is jealous. He tried his best to figure out that the skin of the national server needs a redemption code, and he needs to buy a box to give it away.

Toms initially tried to find such a box in the United States, but couldn't find it, tried hard and couldn't find a store that sold it, not even on Amazon.

In the end, Thomas accidentally got an exchange code in the hands of one of his Chinese classmates.

It turned out that this was brought from China by a classmate before studying abroad. There are a total of 4 small figures, three of which are not repeated, and the redemption code was used by himself.

There is only one duplicate left.

Toms talked his mouth dry before finally convincing the classmate to agree to give him the duplicate figure for a full $50.

In this regard, Thomas still thinks it is very cost-effective, because he is estimated to be the first American player with a skin in the United States.

Afterwards, news about the Chinese server began to pop up in various Warcraft forums. At first, it was the Chinese showing off there, and later it was people like Thomas who found a way to enter the national server.

So these skins are not very cool, but they are different from most players, this is enough, many American players have started to ask for tutorials and help on the forum, and find a way to enter the Chinese server .

In the end, a dedicated American Warcraft China server strategy forum was spontaneously established to provide strategies for players who want to enter the Chinese server.

In just one month or so, the number of registered members of this forum has reached 7000, which means that at least 7000 American players have logged in to the Chinese server.

After having so many basic player groups, the demand for redemption codes came up. After all, everyone went to the Chinese server to play for the unique skin of the Chinese server.

However, it is very difficult to be lucky enough to find a Chinese student like Thomas, and then get a brand new redemption code.

So on these forums, posts asking for redemption codes began to remain high, reaching an astonishing $100 per redemption code at the highest point, and it was the cheapest and most common redemption code.

In this way, the number is still very scarce, because it can only be obtained by relying on a small number of domestic students who are brought to the United States.

Of course, soon someone will discover the business opportunity and start doing speculative business, such as Thomas, who sensed the business opportunity.

It just so happens that he has a very long vacation now, and at the same time, he participated in a summer camp in China a year ago and had a Chinese visa, so he flew directly to China by plane, took all his belongings, and ran over to buy the redemption code .

This is the story of Thomas. He told Huang He everything, and then asked Huang He worriedly, "Huang, you won't listen to me and go to the United States to sell blind boxes right away?"

"Don't worry, it won't happen!" Huang He smiled and said, "I have an agreement with Blizzard that all products related to Warcraft can only be sold in China and cannot be transferred to other countries for sale, so you can rest assured Do your business, I will not interfere with you in any way!"

"That's really great!" Thomas's face was filled with a happy smile, as if he had seen the 2500 redemption codes, which had turned into a wonderful scene of 25 US dollars.

"By the way, there is one more thing to tell you!" Huang He said.

"What's the matter?" Thomas froze for a moment.

"Tomorrow is the match day for our China Warcraft Championship Shanghai Station. After the match is over, the group stage of the National Tournament will begin. If you are interested, you can come and visit!" Huang He said with a smile.

"Well, I'll definitely come!" Thomas became excited when he heard that, waited for a taxi, and then returned to the hotel with his own car of blind boxes.

As soon as he got back to the hotel, he didn’t take a shower, so Thomas took out his laptop. After connecting to the cable network provided by the hotel, he immediately posted a post in the forum, saying that he was traveling in China and bought a laptop. Some blind boxes, there are still some redemption codes left, 100 US dollars each, if you need it, go directly to his eBay personal store to buy.

Then he left a URL of the eBay personal online store that Toms had prepared a long time ago, made a product link, and listed 100 redemption codes for ordinary figures.

After that, he posted another post, and then put the few rare coins he had drawn on it to promote, and then marked the price of each redemption code at $1000.

He simply listed the price of the last luxurious gift box at 10 US dollars.

This sounds a little nonsense, but in fact, Thomas didn't intend to sell this luxury gift box at all. He planned to use this gift box for himself, so he set a high price that no one would buy.

As for why you don't want to sell it, but put it up, of course it's for showing off.

After completing these tasks, Thomas was ready to go out.

He didn't go out this time to continue buying blind boxes, but to find an Internet cafe to play games.

Someone might be wondering, didn't Thomas bring a laptop?Why go to an Internet cafe to play games?
This is of course because the laptop is still a bit unable to play Warcraft. After all, in 2002, although Warcraft was not a hardware killer, it was not something that the laptop could drive.

Before coming to China, Thomas had already inquired with his Chinese friends, and he knew that many places in China had opened Internet cafes, and he could go to Internet cafes to surf the Internet.

In this way, Toms can experience the feeling of playing pvp mode in the Chinese server. Although he was able to enter the pvp room in the United States before, the delay is too crazy, and there is no game experience at all, so He can only play pve mode in the United States.

But it was different in China. When he came to the mainland, Toms naturally had to experience it anyway. The PVP mode that he couldn't experience on weekdays, competed with Chinese Warcraft players.

"I'm one of the top 500 players on the Battle.net ladder, it's not too easy to bully these Chinese people!" Thomas thought happily, and then went out.

----------

In order to find an Internet cafe smoothly, Thomas asked his classmates about Chinese characters, especially the word Internet cafe, before coming to China. He remembered it very firmly, so he found an Internet cafe very smoothly.

But when he was about to go online, he encountered a trouble unexpectedly.

"ID card, you must show your ID card to be able to access the Internet!" When Hams proposed to access the Internet, the network manager of the Internet cafe said in Chinese.

But the problem is that Toms can't understand it at all. The two of them communicated for a long time, and in the end Toms could only give up and try to find an Internet cafe again.

As a result, I changed to seven or eight Internet cafes this morning, and none of them could communicate. This made Thomas once again regret why he didn't take Chinese as an elective when he was in college, so that he could understand what others were saying.

Fortunately, when Toms found the 10th Internet cafe, he finally met an English-speaking network administrator, because this was a part-time job for a student from the School of Foreign Languages.

He also finally knew why he was rejected.

"I don't have an ID card, but I have a passport. Can this be used?" Thomas asked with some concern. If the passport cannot be used, then he can only go back to the hotel.

"Of course, passports are available. We only need to confirm the date of birth on your passport and make sure you are over 18 years old!" Information, while helping Thomas to go through the boarding procedures.

"Your China is really amazing. You need an ID card to go online, and you have to check your age. You have to be 18 years old to go online. Why is there such a thing?" Thomas asked a little incomprehensibly.

"Because there were some accidents a while ago, although no one was injured, but in order to ensure the safety of minors, our government has issued regulations that must register ID cards, and then determine the age before they can access the Internet!" said the network administrator .

"Then don't you work very hard every day?" Thomas asked curiously, "Do you have to manually register your ID card information like me every time?"

"You are a foreigner, which is a bit special." Wang Guan said, "You are using a passport, which cannot be checked online in our country, so you must register manually."

"However, if you use our Chinese ID card, it will be different. We have a special Internet cafe management system here. Point the front of the ID card to the scanner and scan it, and the information on the ID card will be automatically recorded in the In our database, this will directly complete the work of ID card registration, which is very convenient!" The network manager said with a smile, "Not only that, this Internet cafe management system can also manage all the computers in the entire Internet cafe, automatically update games, automatically hang up, Automatic checkout, self-recharge membership, and automatic distribution of game test accounts, which is very convenient.”

"Is this system so convenient?" Thomas asked in surprise.

"That's right, don't you have such an Internet cafe management system in the United States?" the network administrator asked in surprise.

"It doesn't seem to be the case. Our Internet cafes are managed by themselves. There is no such unified system...By the way, did you buy this system from abroad?"

"No, it was developed by our Jiangnan Group in response to the call of the relevant units, and then distributed to all Internet cafes for free. Because there is support from the relevant departments, so in more than a month, almost all Internet cafes are now using it. Use this system!" The Internet cafe said lightly, and Thomas' expression changed slightly.

"You Jiangnan Group... have made a fortune!" Toms sighed.
