Chapter 19 The most popular online game

The entrance of Feixiang Internet Cafe.

Since Li Zhanbo was really hungry and tired, Jiang Mu asked him to go back first, while Jiang Mu came to interview the owner of Feixiang Internet Cafe.

After Jiang Mu arrived, he took the Huazi given by Zhu Ronghua and gave it to Boss Xiao of the Internet cafe, and expressed his thoughts.

"If you want to charter a flight, calculate the price, 10-20 computers, charter flight for 24 hours. I will give you a discount of up to 1.5 an hour."

Boss Xiao smoked the Huazi handed over by Jiang Mu and looked Jiang Mu up and down.

He didn't expect that the customer Xia Zisu mentioned was actually a high school student, so he deliberately offered Jiang Mu a daily price.

But Jiang Mu knows his stuff. For example, here at Feixiang Internet Cafe, there are deluxe areas and ordinary areas. The deluxe area is the one equipped with a camera, a wide-screen LCD computer monitor, high-end headphones and a keyboard.

Then it is said that the Internet speed is also fast, but Jiang Mu has experienced it. In fact, the Internet speed is almost the same as that in the normal area, but there are some differences in the host's CPU, motherboard or power supply.

In 2008, the price in the luxury area of ​​Internet cafes like this was generally 1.5 yuan per hour for members, or 2 yuan per hour for non-members.

"Boss Xiao, what you gave me is the box price, right?" Jiang Mu also ordered a Huazi, squinted his eyes and smiled faintly at Boss Xiao.

"How is that possible? The price of a private room membership is 2.50 per hour! I can't give it to you, I can't give it to you!"

"Then doesn't this mean there is no discount?" Jiang Mu said bluntly.

"But now the electricity bill is much more expensive when the air conditioner is turned on in the summer!" Boss Xiao is also a good person. He knew in just a few words that Jiang Mu was not an ordinary young man and could not be fooled, so he started talking about the electricity bill.

Jiang Mu nodded. He knew that once the air conditioner was turned on, the cost would be much higher than that of the ceiling fan, so he thought for a while and said: "I don't want the machine in the luxury area, just the ordinary area. The membership price of the ordinary area is 1

If it’s an hour, you have to give me a discount.”

When Boss Xiao saw that Jiang Mu wanted the general area, he calculated that he still had about 40 computers in the general area.

You know, if most of the prime time periods are removed and morning and evening are left, these computer seats will actually be full!

It can only be said to be operating at full capacity during prime time periods such as noon and afternoon, so if Jiang Mu can cover these for the whole day, he will definitely be very happy.

"9 cents, I'll give you 9 cents for an hour!"

Boss Xiao made a very heartbroken expression and said. This expression was also very well controlled, giving the impression that he had given away a lot of profits.

"Eight cents, how nice it sounds, 88 cents, you will get rich and blessed!" Jiang Mu smiled and handed another huazi to Boss Xiao.

"This..." Boss Xiao took the cigarette and lit it, but his expression was troubled.

He seemed to be still hesitating. He really didn't expect that the young man in front of him would raise the price so harshly.

"I will order 20 machines for 8 cents. If I don't have this price, I will go to another Internet cafe. The distance is as far as possible. I will just take it as a walk to exercise!" Jiang Mu said directly.

Jiang Mu knew in his heart that at least half of the time, these seats would not be occupied, which was why he dared to bargain.

"You... open so many computers, what are you going to use them for?" Boss Xiao became a little nervous when he heard that Jiang Mu was going to another Internet cafe, so he asked.

"Me, I'm going to call people over to do power leveling, leveling up and completing quests." Jiang Mu thought for a while and said, "Besides, I brought a lot of people here, so your drinks, snacks, cigarettes, etc. will be easier to sell."

Already?"

"Then according to what you said, 80 cents is better, how about it?" Upon hearing this, Boss Xiao used Jiang Mu's trick.

"Okay! That's it!" Hearing this, Jiang Mu thought that this number is pretty good!

So the two finally settled on this offer.

Then, after Boss Xiao and Jiang Mu negotiated the price at the entrance of the Internet cafe, they left directly without returning to the Internet cafe. It was dinner time, so they probably had some other entertainment.

He came here today firstly to pay wages to the front desk staff, and secondly because he came here for Jiang Mu's client.

…

Jiang Mu is very familiar with the power leveling industry.

Now is the heyday of these online games, but many genuine online games are very slow to upgrade, fight monsters, and collect equipment. It takes a lot of time, so a hidden industry like power leveling has been born.

Long before Jiang Mu saw Xia Zisu playing a power leveling game, he noticed that the girl was playing the online game Dream Westward Journey.

In 2008, the annual maximum number of online users of "Dream Journey to the West" reached 2.32 million. Later, it won the crown of the annual game popularity peak for several consecutive years, and hit new highs every year. This kind of popularity continued until 2013.

Only then did it decline.

What is this concept? No one can match it in the domestic market!

In the global game market, Jiang Mu really can't think of anything better or more complete than this in the same type of leisure and development games like Dream Talk.

Moreover, the wonderful thing about this game is that it can be played on multiple machines on one machine, so when he saw Xia Zisu playing on multiple machines on one machine yesterday, he thought, didn't he play like this before?

At that time, he had a sudden idea, and then ran over and asked Xia Zisu: "If you increase your power to level 69, how many days will it take at the fastest?"

This Xia Zisu can do 4 to 5, and the level is definitely not bad. Xia Zisu replied: "Practice 12 hours a day, about two weeks! If someone takes care of it, it will be faster, compress it, maybe 10

Within days.”

Level 69 in this game is a watershed. After level 69, you will reach the mid-to-late stage. At that time, upgrading and completing tasks will not only be slower, but also the investment will become greater in the later stage.

Therefore, many players will often be stuck at level 69. Play more time and accumulate more resources, such as game currency, skill points, equipment and pets.

Hearing Xia Zisu's answer, Jiang Mu guessed that this was similar to what he remembered. Jiang Mu basically remembered all the strategies in the early stages of the game. He reached level 69 within a week. If two or three people stayed offline for 24 hours, it would really be possible.

possible!

During this period, Jiang Mu also checked some popular game forums at this time, as well as the amount and transaction volume of buying and selling game accounts on Taotao...

Here, if it is a new area that has just been opened, the price will be much higher than that in the old area, and it can be sold in the range of 800-1200. After all, the market is like this, and the price is constantly changing with market factors.

There is such a huge market demand, so imagine if you open a few more computers, find a few more people to practice power leveling according to their own upgrade strategies, and then sell them to players on game forums and Taotao.com, right?

Isn’t it possible to make a fortune?

But when Jiang Mu just walked in,

He suddenly remembered:

Oops! You don’t have that much cash now?

Jiang Mu thought for a moment, then took out his PHS phone and prepared to call his mother and ask her for two thousand yuan.

In fact, Jiang Mu can wait until the liquidity of his online store arrives before starting this step.

But he was afraid that if Boss Xiao suddenly regretted it,

After all, there is an event of ‘get a membership, top up 100 and get 100 free’! It is equivalent to giving you a half discount directly, and this discount is not available to anyone.

So to be on the safe side, it’s better to strike now while the iron is hot and get the matter settled right away!

"Beep, beep, beep!" The call is being connected.

Xie Junfen: "Hey! Damn it."

Jiang Mu: "Hey! Mom, can I..."

Xie Junfen: “No money!”

Jiang Mu: "???"
