The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 460 Preheating
The same situation occurs on Battle.net all over the world. Anyway, it is basically an affordable game market, and 00 game platforms will log in one after another.

In fact, this consumes a lot of money. Leng Zhimeng has asked someone to estimate that the annual cost of laying out servers around the world exceeds 3000 million U.S. dollars, and there are some markets that may not be able to earn back the cost of setting up the servers.

However, Huang He pushed forward vigorously. Regardless of whether he makes money or not, anyway, the two markets of the United States and China can fill in all these holes. Evolution paves the way.

At the same time, with the opening of the OO game platform in the United States, the genuine Jiangnan Warcraft game blind box has also been officially sold in the United States.

The genuine blind box is priced at $5 a box. Although the price is as high as 4 times that of China, it is much cheaper than the Chinese blind box purchased on behalf of others before, and it can also be used in the US server. Players' buying spree.

The first batch of 1 million boxes of blind boxes sent by Huang He was sold out in one go, directly reaping 2 million US dollars in sales.

Although high taxes and local agent fees are deducted, Jiangnan Group can still get $3 for a box of blind boxes, of which the net profit is as high as $2.5, which means that Jiangnan Group has made a net profit of $5 million.

As soon as this data was released, game companies all over the world began to prepare to sell blind boxes, and Vidiwang was probably the most furious. They were horrified to find that they had made at least more than one billion dollars in profit.

However, all the shares have been sold, so they can only draw a circle and curse the Yellow Crane.

However, it is said afterwards that the executives in charge of this transaction were directly fired, and a large number of people collapsed, and Vidiwang began to buy a large number of stocks in other game companies, intending to copy a myth of Blizzard, but was locked up a lot of money.

It is worth mentioning that when American players happily bought back the blind boxes, they were shocked to find that the products in these blind boxes were not the third batch of blind boxes sold in China at this time, but the first batch of blind boxes. the contents of the box.

That is, skins of a large number of basic units, as well as tank skins of 4 races, and super luxurious gift boxes.It can't be said that it is exactly the same as the first issue, it is simply a twin brother.

But even if they are twin brothers, there are differences. For example, the American version of dolls and figures, their clothing details will be different, such as an extra pattern like the American flag.

In addition, the color has also been changed, and the overall difference between the US version and the Chinese version can be seen at a glance.

Many players were very dissatisfied with this at first, because they felt that this was selling them old things.But soon, these players figured it out, because no matter if it was a server in the United States or China, the number of skins in the achievement column owned by the player was the same.

If the US server starts directly from the third blind box, it means that they will never be able to collect the skins of the first two blind boxes, and they will never be able to achieve the full skin achievement.

And if they start from the first period, then they will be able to regain the opportunity to collect all skin achievements, which is simply not great.

Especially when they found that many Chinese players expressed envy for this on the forum, and some Chinese even asked Americans to buy the first blind box of the US version from thousands of miles away to make up for the pain of not collecting them all before.

Because they found that although the two countries are two servers, the redemption codes for these skins are common. way.

A large number of local tyrants were very excited about this, and then bought blind boxes from the United States for up to 5 dollars a box, which moved Huang He to pieces.

In addition, the redemption code of the US version is still a Chinese redemption code, which adds a Chinese redemption code service to the forum. You only need to pay 50 cents, and you can find someone on the Internet to help you exchange this redemption code. Type it into Chinese, and then copy and paste it to redeem it. It is very user-friendly, but it is more expensive.

Later, there were special Amazon stores to do this kind of work, and their prices were even cheaper, 10 cents a redemption code, which was considered a very fair price.

Closer to home, at this time, not only users in China, but also all the countries in the world where the 00 game center has started to operate, have seen this somewhat weird black picture.

Until eight o'clock in the morning on the 15th, when the first batch of users opened the homepage of the 00 game platform, they were shocked to find that the entire picture had completely turned into a portal.

The picture of this portal looks very simple, and it is not known what material it is made of. It seems to be covered with bright red blood, and there are traces of black air coming out of the door, constantly fluttering.

This is a dynamic gif picture.

So, naturally, someone couldn't help but click on this dynamic picture, and then the entire screen went black instantly, as if it had entered a state of crash, which shocked the player.

Fortunately, a few seconds later, a voice full of depth and spaciousness gradually floated out from the speaker.

"Four years have passed since the Alliance and the Horde fought side by side against the invasion of the Burning Legion."

"Although the continent of Azeroth was successfully saved, the fragile agreement between the Horde and the Alliance has long since disappeared. Now, the drums of war are sounding again!"

"This is... this is... this is the plot after Warcraft 3!" Hearing the opening remarks, many players couldn't help jumping up.

For gamers who love Warcraft, there is no doubt that the plot of Warcraft 3 is extremely good, and it is also the reason why many players are attracted to the pit.

Regardless of whether it was the originally righteous Prince Arthas, for the sake of his own people, he degenerated step by step and became the Lich King, and finally killed his father with his own hands.

Thrall, the young leader of the orcs, opened up a new territory for the orcs in the New World little by little.

Or the night elves lost their lives against the Burning Legion on the mainland, and finally won by using the World Tree.

Or Gul'dan, Iudian, and Cirvanas in the latest plot of the Frozen Throne. These are all excellent plots, which have attracted countless Warcraft players, and finally integrated into Aize In Lars' world.

There is no doubt that at least 50% of the success of Warcraft is due to the world view and plot of the entire world.

It was only after the release of the Frozen Throne that the plot of Atlas Continent was interrupted, which made many people feel hard to let go.

They are eager to know how the orc race is developing, how the human race is lingering, whether the elves have captured Iudian, whether the Burning Legion has not given up, and where the entire continent of Azeroth will go.

These have deeply attracted the curiosity of the players, and they can't wait to know the follow-up plot development.

However, the expansion pack of the Frozen Throne has just been released for a few months, and according to Blizzard's consistent urgency, Warcraft 4 will have to wait at least 3 to 5 years before it will be released, which makes many players feel depressed and anxious.

Now, they suddenly heard a story that obviously belonged to the story after the Frozen Throne, which made them wake up instantly. Could it be that this video will tell the story of the future?
Naihe's narration ends here, but after that, a dwarf with a musket appears in the screen, and beside him is a grizzly bear, slowly advancing in a snowstorm.

"Damn it! This CG effect!"

"Damn! This is really a CG effect, isn't it shot by a real person?"

"Oh my god, this is really cool! Blizzard is worthy of being a company that has been in the game for ten years and CG for nine years. It's so fucking awesome!" All the players who saw this scene praised it, and then the video continued play.

After the dwarf musketeer came the female elf, and the moment she emerged from the video, the entire audience chanted "ah, I'm dead!"

Indeed, this man was covered in leather armor, showing a perfect figure, and basically exposed skin except for what he couldn't reveal, as well as a beautiful face, which directly killed all the audience in seconds.

Before this greasy senior sister or delicate 3D butter was born, the perfectly modeled female elf in this video was enough for most male audiences to masturbate several times.

Then the female elf started running in the jungle at an extremely fast speed, like a galloping motorcycle.And in the last high jump, the female elf turned into a pitch-black cheetah.

Only at this time did the audience realize that the female elf of emotion is not an archer, but a druid.

After that, undead warlocks who can summon lava giants, orc tauren and orc warriors, and human wizards all appeared on the stage one after another, and these people fought in a melee at the end, and it finally showed that it was a brand new game icons.

"World of Warcraft?" A viewer slowly pronounced the name.

There seemed to be something wrong with him, but he couldn't tell, until the game icon disappeared, and a string of text was displayed, "Welcome to World of Warcraft, Azeroth is waiting for your arrival!"

"Wow! No way! No way!"

Countless players couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw this. Judging from this text, Blizzard is going to launch a new game related to Warcraft, and it seems that this is not a traditional real-time strategy game, but an rpg game. game.

This is big news!

Almost instantly, the news about World of Warcraft spread across the world. From China to the United States, almost all World of Warcraft players paused the game and began to discuss news about World of Warcraft.

Soon, various news were flying across the Internet.

It is said that this is the launch of Warcraft 4;
He also said that this is Warcraft to launch an RPG stand-alone game;

It is also said that this is to launch an online game.

Some people also vowed that this is the animation of Warcraft, and this is the trailer of the animation.Then I was refuted by others, saying that this is not an animation at all, but a movie. World of Warcraft is going to launch a CG movie, otherwise why do the animation CG do so well? This is obviously a trailer for the movie!

These are not exaggerated. The most exaggerated person revealed on the forum that Blizzard is going to launch a shooting game with a world view of Warcraft.

Good guy, the more news and discussions there are on the Internet, the more itchy players feel.So a large number of players went to Blizzard's official forum to inquire, but the official only said one sentence, everything is in the process of preparation, the official will release the latest news in time, and then there is no fart news.

Even if some media took the initiative to find Blizzard for an interview, Blizzard would not reveal anything about it, as if it was going to kill people.

But the more this is the case, the higher the expectations of the players. Everyone is curiously guessing what this new thing is, and no one has noticed that a game called "Triumph" has been secretly launched on the 00 game platform.
