Chapter 357 Battle.net Points!

"What's going on?" Li Zetian asked hastily.

Bushnell replied: "Hundreds of players blocked the door of the company to protest. They said that there is no Internet connection at home, they cannot play "Counter-Strike" and "Red Alert", and that Flamingo discriminates against non-Internet players!"

"That's it..." Li Zetian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said immediately, "Just let them install the Internet at home."

Bushnell said: "The cost of accessing the Internet is not cheap, and many families naturally do not have Internet services. Moreover, the previous press conference of Flamingo was a bit noisy, and many parents knew that their children were for the Internet. Playing games requires them to open the Internet, so I disagree even more! So, those players who can’t connect to the Internet come to our company to make trouble!”

"This is really troublesome!" Li Zetian frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "How about it, Bushnell, you immediately let the workers produce the game CD 6 of "Counter-Strike" and "Red Alert"..."

When Bushnell heard this, he couldn't help being taken aback, and couldn't help but interrupted: "Mr. Li, aren't we launching these two games to develop the Battle.net platform? Isn't it the opposite of the opposite when you release the game disc?"

Li Zetian smiled and said: "Hehe, I haven't said whether to play or not. You are in a hurry. Each game disc is attached with a unique game serial number. Players who buy the game disc can use the game serial number if they are connected to the Internet in the future. Once the game is activated, it will be bound to his Battle.net account immediately, and the game serial number will become invalid and cannot be used again. On the Battle.net platform, you can ask someone to change it a little. Very simple."

Bushnell was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Mr. Li, your method is really wonderful! What's even more rare is that you actually came up with such a good method in such a short period of time. You are so clever, and I am overwhelmed!"

"Stop flattering me, and deal with it quickly, so as not to arouse public anger!"

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

After finishing the call, Bushnell immediately came to the gate of the company and looked at the group of troublemakers below without changing his expression.

"Everyone, please listen to me, I have called Chronos Li for instructions, and he said..."

Bushnell then repeated what Li Zetian had told him before, and everyone rejoiced when they heard it.

"Mr. Bushnell, when can we get the game disc?"

Someone immediately asked loudly.

"Ten days later!" Bushnell said.

Since it is only provided to some players, the production capacity of the Flamingo Factory within a week is sufficient.

At this time, Bushnell added: "At that time, only the Flamingo retail store will sell the "Counter-Strike" and "Red Alert" game discs. I hope everyone will pay attention."

The game fans got their own satisfactory answers and gradually dispersed.

……

"Counter-Strike" has become popular all over the world, and countless players are discussing it, especially in schools, "Counter-Strike" is the most talked about among students!Those students who have opened the Internet at home are proud and become the envy of people.As soon as school is over, students in twos and threes invite to play CS at home.

Although ten days is very short, it is still unbearable for players who are in a hurry.For a time, the number of users accessing the Internet in the United States surged!
In these ten days, only Sprint under the name of Li Zetian added 4.5 users.

Obviously, as the Battle.net platform grows bigger and bigger, and "Counter-Strike" becomes more and more popular, more families will open Internet services in the future.

At this time, in the distant mainland of China, the Internet cafes of the Glory chain are already overcrowded, and the business is in a mess!There are always several people standing behind each computer watching someone else play Counter-Strike or Red Alert.The Internet speed in mainland China is not very good, and it is a bit slow when entering the Battle.net platform.They are generally played against within a local area network.

"I have created a host, 5V5 started, you guys are advancing!"

Not long after, someone in the Internet cafe shouted and greeted him.

Immediately, people responded one after another.

"Okay, here I come!"

"I'm here too!"

"..."

The business of the Glory chain of Internet cafes is so booming, one can't help but be envious.

Soon, more people are also planning to open Internet cafes.

Unexpectedly, the number of Internet cafes opened too fast. Li Zetian got information from Lenovo and Mango Computer Company. Thousands of users called to ask how much a computer in Internet cafes cost.

However, it is also a good thing. There are more Internet cafes, which means that China's Internet is developing rapidly.

Li Zetian also issued an order to the Glory chain of Internet cafes to speed up the establishment of chain stores.

At the same time, Li Zetian also decided to open the Glory chain of Internet cafes to European and American countries. Although the penetration rate of personal computers in European and American countries is very high, opening Internet cafes does not make much money, but what Li Zetian is thinking now is based on the Glory chain of Internet cafes. It is better to hold game competitions here in the future!

Even, the Glory Internet Cafe will develop into the Glory Group in the future, becoming the organizer of various game competitions around the world!
With money, a venue, and influence, the Glory Group is worthy of this task.

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye.

At this time, the number of registered users on the Battle.net platform reached 300 million, the paid users of "Counter-Strike" reached 275 million, and the paid users of "Red Alert" reached 240 million, which shocked retailers and game developers.

Retailers are devastated.

The game developer was surprised, as if they saw hope, Flamingo Company has successfully proved this brand new sales model!All of a sudden, third-party game developers went to Flamingo to discuss cooperation matters.

At this time, the game CD with the game serial number was also sold at the Flamingo retail store.

Although there are already pirated copies of "Counter-Strike" and "Red Alert" on the Internet, there is still an endless stream of users who buy game discs.Watching the long line outside the Flamingo retail store can't help but be astounding.

Not far away, the retailers hiding in the coffee shop looked gloomy.

"We all sent people to spread "Counter-Strike" and "Red Alert" crazily on the Internet, why do so many people go to the Flamingo retail store to buy game discs?" One of them was puzzled.

Immediately, a person was sent to stop a user who bought a game disc.

"Hi, hello, did you just buy Counter-Strike at the Flamingo retail store?"

"Yes."

"But there are already pirated copies of "Counter-Strike" on the Internet, why do you still want to buy it? As far as I know, the price is 100 US dollars, which is not cheap!"

The player chuckled: "I'm afraid you don't go to the Flamingo retail store often. When you get there, you will know that there is no comparison between playing a single player game alone and everyone fighting on the Battle.net platform." There is a serial number on the game CD, and the game on the Battle.net platform can be activated by using the serial number. Although my home is not connected to the Internet now, I will definitely do it in the future. I have to buy it sooner or later, so it’s better to buy it now. Whenever I have a chance , you can also log in to your own Battle.net platform, play "Counter-Strike" and accumulate Battle.net points!"

"What are Battle.net Points???" The person who came to ask the question was full of surprise.

The player said with a smile: "Hehe, the battle.net platform has just launched a new function today. Battle.net points represent your combat power, and the battle.net platform will assign corresponding opponents according to your battle.net points! When you meet a group of rookies, it’s better not to play! The initial Battle.net score of Counter-Strike is 1000 points. I heard that players with tens of thousands of Battle.net points may encounter Chronos Li. Hehe, he also likes to play " "Counter-Strike", and is currently known as the number one master, the sniper rifle used at the press conference is simply amazing!!"
