Chapter 923 Want to Compete with Blizzard Entertainment

During the remaining two days of the Japanese New Year's Day holiday, Wu Tao and Fujiwara Reina proposed a preliminary agreement framework for their cooperation in the semiconductor field.

The core of the framework is that there is me in you and you in me. This strategic cooperation will be completed through joint investment by both parties.

This undoubtedly gave the Mitsui Consortium a reassurance.

On the morning of January 5th, Wu Tao flew back to the capital from Tokyo Narita Airport.

It is always necessary to seize the last few days of this semester and deal with academic problems.

In the cold winter, the climate in the capital is not so pleasant, and the sky is always gray, which always makes it difficult to get excited.

Against this background, a brand new game poster was plastered all over the streets and alleys of the capital in Internet cafes overnight - League of Legends.

The dazzling array of hero character settings and the novel and unique ranking system make this game full of new experiences.

A week before the release of the game, Xiaonei.com, the country's largest dating platform, and Tianxing BBS, the largest game discussion platform, were flooded with League of Legends posts.

The domestic game market that has just been cultivated has shown its vigorous vitality.

This situation is incomparable to the barren scene on the eve of the release of Counter-Strike.

At the same time, foreign forums are also full of discussions and popular posts about League of Legends. It’s just that some people subjectively believe that the characters in League of Legends are full of oriental colors and may not be able to do well in Western markets such as Europe and the United States.

In this regard, Tianxing Games did not make any positive response.

Anyway, everything is left to the market.

January 15th, Saturday, the day after the Laba Festival.

Early in the morning, Wu Tao woke up in his house in Xichun Garden. He opened the curtains and saw that it was a white day outside.

The weather in the north, after the snow, is actually much better than the gray weather. At least the air smelled fresher than ever after being washed away by the heavy snowfall overnight.

The sound of snow shoveling came one after another outside, and the enthusiasm of the uncles and aunts on the streets was completely aroused, and they participated in the vigorous snow shoveling battle.

An Rong sat up from the bed and let the soft silk quilt slide down, revealing her infinitely beautiful upper body. "Sure enough, it's snowing. I wonder if today's release of League of Legends will be affected?"

When she said this, she immediately reminded Wu Tao.

The release of the League of Legends game really didn’t take advantage of the right time, and now it doesn’t even have the right location.

After all, there is heavy snow everywhere, and most people are unwilling to get out of their warm beds, let alone play games in an Internet cafe.

However, Wu Tao thought about it and felt relieved immediately.

The game League of Legends is released simultaneously around the world. In a season like this, there will always be snow somewhere. So speaking of it, this is actually not a fatal impact.

Wang Donglai woke up from the sofa in the office, turned over and almost fell to the ground. This has been countless days of staying in the company, so much so that even Jiaqian's side felt a little resentful.

Fortunately, today, the game League of Legends will be officially released and launched.

Whether it's a mule or a horse, you won't know until you pull it out and run around.

If you slide well, you will be good to me, everyone will be good to you, and everything will be fine. If you can't slip well...

Wang Donglai shook his head and clenched his fist firmly. He wouldn't be able to slip away. He definitely wouldn't.

Walking out of the general manager's office, Wu Ke and Shao Min led the R&D team outside and had been working hard for 28 hours. The purpose is to improve the Battle.net platform and ensure the launch of League of Legends.

Although it has been less than four hours since the release time of 11 am.

But as the person in charge of operations and distribution, Shi Qianxue is still making phone calls constantly to ensure that the game's promotion and distribution work is normal and is proceeding step by step.

The entire Tianxing Game Company was completely screwed up like clockwork.

But in addition to Tianxing Game Company, there are some people who also have their hearts in their throats.

For example, Zhao Li is at the Central Academy of Fine Arts.

Although the art design and development of the game's themes and characters have long been completed, as the game's chief planner, Zhao Li always feels that her mission has not yet been completed. So much so that I couldn't even concentrate on taking exams in school.

The sun was three high, shining on the snow on the capital's roads, reflecting a cold, cold light.

In this cold and desolate weather, there was a constant flow of people on the streets and alleys. People who don’t know, think it’s the Lunar New Year.

After careful observation, they discovered that most of these hurried crowds were young people, and their goals were the same. They were all Internet cafes, which are full of technological stores on the streets.

Internet cafes of all sizes in the capital were packed with people before ten o'clock.

For each Internet cafe owner, this is equivalent to celebrating the Lunar New Year in advance and feeling the joy.

Skyview Corporation.

Yang Zili discovered that due to the impact of the release of Tianxing Game Company, the number of people online on the school network reached a new high.

Discussions about League of Legends have topped the list of hot topics.

The discussion of the classic game Counter-Strike has also entered the hot topic rankings, although it is only tenth.

The exciting moment has finally arrived.

The Internet cafe that was originally bustling with people suddenly became audible, and the only sound left was the sound of the fan in the computer case.

At eleven o'clock sharp, the League of Legends game was officially launched online.

There were nearly 10,000 Internet cafes across the country, and millions of machines submitted login and registration requests one after another, which made Wu Ke and Shao Min, who were responsible for maintenance and operations, suddenly break into a cold sweat.

The Battle.net platform they worked so hard to maintain was hit by a load peak within the first minute of the game’s release.

It almost brought down the entire Battle.net platform.

Five minutes later, the number of logged-in users of League of Legends reached 50,000!

Ten minutes later, it directly exceeded 200,000! And this number is still growing rapidly.

At the same time, the foreign Battle.net platform and the League of Legends game have also entered operation simultaneously. Due to the time difference, the number of logged-in users is not as large as that of domestic platforms, but it is still in the same order of magnitude.

Half an hour later, the number of logged-in users exceeded 500,000!

An hour later, the number of domestic logged-in users reached 800,000.

Although this number has shown signs of slowing down, reaching this level means that Tianxing Game Company has already won the game.

Wang Donglai immediately called Wu Tao to announce the good news, "Boss, the number of users is expected to exceed 2 million, so it's not a big problem! And our Battle.net platform can accommodate 2.5 million users online at the same time!"

Wu Tao frowned, "What if the reputation of League of Legends forms and leads to a second wave of registration and login peaks? By then, it is entirely possible to exceed 3 million or even 4 million!"

"...After all, our Tianxing Game Company wants to compete with Blizzard Entertainment. Our goals must be longer-term and we have to do our work first, right?"
