It is a magazine with a colorful cover titled "Home Computers and Games". There is a red Ferrari sports car in the middle and a line of artistic text next to it that says "Need for Speed 2".
Since he introduced "Popular Software" to everyone, Ayang, Xiaopang and others have become keenly interested in the colorful magazines sold at newsstands. Of course, they are not literature such as "Reader", "Friends" and "Grudge". Magazines are magazines related to computer games such as "Home Computers and Games", "Computer News", and "Video Game Software".
After all, most of the current computer users are young people. What stimulates young people are not boring programs and office software, but things like games and audio-visual products that can bring a sense of entertainment.
Under Ayang's guidance, he turned to the real-color page in the middle, then turned back a little and saw a column called "Editorial Society" for stories.
The editor wrote that the beautiful receptionist at the company who wears high heels every day, drinks milk in the morning, and drinks coffee in the afternoon began to learn Japanese because she suddenly developed a strong interest in Japanese dramas.
He also wrote that yesterday in "Jiang Hu", he met a girl whose fingertips smelled of lavender. Her sword was very fast, and she killed the Jin Yi people of the Five Poison Sect with one move. He fell to the ground and looked at her. With his long hair flying in the evening breeze, he secretly warned himself at that moment that he must practice Nine Yang Kung Fu to its peak. Next time, he would not be so useless and could only lie on the ground blankly, watching the attack. Tsing Yi disappeared into the gentle afterglow of the sunset.
Of course, there is an element of artistic processing in it, but one thing that is certain is that "Jianghu" in the book is about the story of the Jianghu chat room. Unlike "Hot Blooded Jianghu", "Swordsman", and "People in Jianghu" that appeared in the future, in the current era when Internet resources are very scarce, Lin Yue's "Jianghu" won the hearts of young people over the age of 16 as soon as it appeared. People's likes and pursuits.
After all, everyone grew up watching Jin Yong and Gu Long, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Sword", "The Eight Parts of the Sky", "The Deer and the Cauldron", "The Peerless Two Prides", "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", "Xiao Li "Flying Knife"... The words in the book project a world full of Jianghu atmosphere in the minds of young people, and this feeling now has sustenance.
He hosted two servers in the telecommunications room.
In the past two months, registered users have grown exponentially. The number of members now exceeds several thousand, and the average number of online users on the two servers is 800+. This is because Lin Yue deliberately controls the traffic. Many people are blocked from the login gateway, otherwise they will be opened Come and do it for them, the server will be overcrowded.
In this era of small water pipes (modems) for accessing the Internet, he was able to achieve such results in just two months. Even some computer magazines are promoting him for free. It is conceivable how high the quality of "Jiang Hu" is.
In fact, Jianghu Chat Room has been around since 1997. The reason why Lin Yue did not become the first person to launch Jianghu Chat Room is mainly because the main body of his program is much larger than that of the first Jianghu Chat Room. As a person who has been exposed to online games since childhood, As a post-90s generation, the online games he has played are naturally far beyond the imagination of current era netizens. Those systems that are highly playable and interesting must of course be screened and added to "Jianghu".
It was not too late to launch, the code is highly optimized, coupled with its super playability and fun, as well as the explosive growth of entertainment needs of netizens, all of a sudden, "Jianghu" has achieved an excellent reputation.
"Damn it, Chengying Sword, after staying up all night, it finally exploded."
A shout full of surprise rang out in the back room. Lin Yue looked back and saw the unshaven man standing up from his chair excitedly. The cigarette originally held between his index and middle fingers somehow fell off and landed on him. There was a hole burned in his trousers.
But this did not prevent the man from pointing at the screen happily for his companions who were playing "Jianghu" to see. Several young people playing stand-alone games nearby heard the words and came over together. Several heads were squeezed in front of the CRT monitor, without blinking. Blinking at the prompt in the system bar.
[Pick up items] The flag bearer of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect fell down at the sound. You picked up the {Shadow Sword LV20} that fell to the ground. Your anger sank in your dantian. You exerted your strength and quickly escaped from the southern foot of Zhongshan Mountain. The demons that followed were coming. The church members looked at your back as you fled into the woods and were speechless.
[Duel] On the top of the Forbidden City, with the bright moon hanging high, {Jade-faced Young Master} from the Palace of Eternal Life defeated {Xiaoxiao Yuxie}, who ranked 85 on the master list, and gained 2 reputation points, 200 silver, and advanced one place in the combat power ranking.
[Notice] Shopkeeper of Fengsheng Gambling House in Yong'an City: All the gentry and heroes who are passing by, if you have nothing to do, you might as well come here to try your luck. {Internal Strength}, {Equipment}, {Experience}, {Silver}, whatever you want Everything can be found in this gambling house. As long as you dare to bet, I will pay.
[Adventure] {Beautiful Boy} encountered bad weather when he went fishing at sea. The boat was capsized by big waves and accidentally ended up on an isolated island. While looking for food, he found a secret cave. There were cultivation experiences left by the predecessors of the Kongtong Sect, { Internal Strength +1}.
…
Fuck you!
Just as Lin Yue was about to go over to see the situation, he heard the person just now scream.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck, it got disconnected at the critical moment. Boss, your network is broken. Go and see what's going on."
After hearing this, the boss walked into the back room, checked the modem's connection status, and ran behind the bar to fiddle with it.
Five minutes later, the modem was restarted and the network was finally restored. However, the man was still very depressed because after reopening the website and entering his account and password, the system prompted that the chat room was overloaded. He could choose to wait (there were 89 people in the login queue) or choose leave.
The thin monkey poked Ayang's chest, nuzzled at the unhappy man over there, and whispered: "This guy doesn't know that the person who developed "Jianghu" is standing behind him."
It wasn't until today that Lin Yue took the two of them to the computer room to check the promotion status of "Jiang Hu" on a whim. Only then did A Yang understand a little more about his prodigal behavior. Seeing a group of people working tirelessly to participate in the public beta of the work, there was indeed a way to say no. The sense of accomplishment is much better than seeing "Super Decoding" on other people's computers, especially when the other party cannot log in and queues up, and is in a hurry.
The secret feeling... was like honey in my heart.
"It's getting late, let's go back."
Lin Yue took Shouhou and Ayang out of the computer room and walked towards Jingnan University of Technology.
In this era when online games have not yet appeared and Internet entertainment resources are scarce, a game "Jianghu" appears. As long as the initial promotion work is done well, players will spread the word of mouth and recommend the games they play to people around them. Sometimes A computer room with a row of people all playing the same game.
The number of players in "Jianghu" is growing rapidly, and the two servers can no longer meet the market demand. It seems that we need to go to the telecommunications computer room and add a few more servers in East China to divert users.
…
A week later, Lin Yue came to dormitory 308 with photos taken in Ruan Guan's hometown during the National Day.
The door was open and he knocked on the door panel.
Boom, boom, boom.
Zheng Wei was alone inside and outside the house playing the Baby Game. Mario, who had eaten the sunflower, was invincible. He knocked over all the triangular heads of the little turtles on the road and rushed madly to the high ground in front of the flagpole.
When Lin Yue knocked on the door, Zheng Wei's hand shook and he pressed the B button too late. Mario fell from the high ground. Now he couldn't get 2000, the maximum was 600.
She was very unhappy, pouting and turned back, but when she saw Lin Yue's figure, the unhappiness in her eyebrows disappeared without a trace, and she threw the handle on the table.
"Why are you here?" There was surprise in his voice that could not be concealed.
Lin Yue shook the photo bag in his hand: "This is a photo taken in Ruan Guan's hometown during the National Day."
"Did it come out?" Zheng Wei looked surprised, took the paper bag, took out the photos inside and flipped through them, giggling from time to time.
"Little Fatty is so stupid."
"Look at this, what is the skinny monkey looking at? He's so lost in thought."
"Zhu Xiaobei always looks worried when taking pictures."
"It's better to take a group photo together, look at how stupid you are."
Zheng Wei took the photo of everyone standing side by side and smiled at the light outside the window.
In the photo, she is hugging Li Weijuan. The Buyi girl in Tsing Yi has a smile like a flower. Zhu Xiaobei looks unhappy because Xu Kaiyang puts his hand on her head. As for Lin Yue, he raises his two scissor hands high like the big crabs. pliers.
"By the way." Lin Yue took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over: "This is my new business card. If you need anything, call this number. As long as I am within the city limits, you can call me at any time."
Zheng Wei took it and took a look, and was stunned when she saw the set of numbers on it.
"Did you buy a mobile phone?"
Lin Yue took out the newly bought Nokia 6150 and shook it in front of her: "Business needs."
"Show me." The little girl rushed forward and grabbed the mobile phone in her hand as if robbing her. She looked at it over and over, with a look of envy on her face: "After all, he is the richest person in the School of Architecture. Lord, everyone is still playing with the BP machine, but you have already used your mobile phone."
"Don't press the phone randomly, the phone bill is very expensive."
"Are you still worried about expensive phone calls?"
"The landlord's family doesn't have any food left."
"Tch." Zheng Wei gave him the middle finger.
Lin Yuexin said that this girl didn't learn the good things from following him, but learned all the bad things.
"By the way, when I came here, I saw Li Weijuan running out happily and ignoring her calls. What happened?"
Speaking of this matter, Zheng Wei looked strange: "She..."
