Chapter 2253 Sales Are Booming
2253
July 12, 3:30 in the morning.
Lin Youran got up early, washed up, got dressed, took a small bench and left the dormitory.
At ten o'clock this morning, "The World of Practitioners" will officially start to be released.
The promotion of this game states that this is a highly free game, and the main brain of the game is an intermediate artificial intelligence, which can ensure that the game runs completely bug-free.
For Lin Youran, who has studied artificial intelligence for several years, she must experience this game run by intermediate artificial intelligence in person to see how different this game is.
Of course, this was only part of the reason why she bought this game. Another part of the reason was because this game was published by her idol Xu Taiping Company.
As the manager of Xu Taiping's official fan club, Lin Youran naturally wanted to support Xu Taiping unconditionally, so she went out before dawn.
What Lin Youran plans to buy this time is the Golden Collector's Edition of the World of Practitioners. This version will not only have a game card that will not be disassembled, but also a customized title that can be displayed in the game.
The gold collector's edition was unconventional and sold for tens of thousands, so Lin Youran spent the New Year's money that she had saved for a long time.
Lin Youran put the pony in front of the battery car, and then rode the car to the nearest sales point.
This time the sales are for the whole world, but the release time is different. China's domestic release time is the earliest, followed by the Foot Basin Country, White Bear Country and other countries, then Southeast Asian countries, and finally those Western countries.
This hairstyle sequence naturally aroused dissatisfaction among Western players, who asked game companies to give an explanation. The game companies said that they have the right to decide where to launch the game, just like Western countries did back then.
With this explanation, Western players have nothing to say. After all, when they first sold things, they often put China and other Eastern countries on the market very late.
Lin Youran rode a battery car outside the sales point.
What surprised Lin Youran was that there was already a long queue outside the sales point at this time!
From a visual inspection, there must be at least hundreds of people!
It was only three o'clock in the morning, and there were already hundreds of people lining up! This shocked Lin Youran.
Lin Youran quickly parked the car next to her, then walked to the back of the queue and sat down with her little horse in her arms.
Looking at the queue of hundreds of people in front of him, Lin Youran was a little anxious. You must know that each sales point only has one hundred sets of the gold collector's edition, and there are only ten thousand sets in China. If those people in front of him all buy the gold collector's edition, , then she would have no chance to buy it.
As soon as Lin Youran sat down, there were people immediately behind him, and people continued to come around him.
When the sky lit up, there was already a very long queue behind Lin Youran.
Lin Youran stepped on the pony and looked to the side. The queues were constantly stacking back and forth. There were about two hundred people in one queue, and then they turned 180 degrees and continued to queue. Looking at it with his eyes, there were probably about 200 people in the queue. There are about fifty teams, which means there are about 10,000 people queuing up!
You know, there are still more than three hours before the game sales start!
Lin Youran's team belongs to the first row, and their position is very forward. From time to time, someone will come up and ask for money to buy their position.
Lin Youran met several people. Someone directly offered her a thousand yuan for her position, hoping that Lin Youran could sell it to him. However, Lin Youran rejected these requests. She came here for the gold collector's edition. If the position If you sell it to others and go to the position behind the card, you will definitely not want to buy the gold collector's edition.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the Jiangyuan City Police Department sent police officers to maintain order at the scene.
"Look, your family is just doing nothing. If you do it, it will be shocking. Today, there are more than 50,000 people in line... Half of the traffic police in Jiangyuan City are here. Yes." A policeman said to Su Nianci with a smile.
"Who is the one in our family?" Su Nianci rolled her eyes and said. However, although Su Nianci said so, the smile on her face betrayed her.
"Before, everyone said that your family was going to go bankrupt. Now, looking at it this way, he should be making a comeback soon. He is really a big business man. One moment he was empty pockets, and the next moment he had tens of billions of assets. With us Compared with people who are paid dead wages, they are really annoying. Leader, you are so happy. Even if you don't work as a police officer in the future, you can still enjoy all the glory and wealth." The policeman next to Su Nianci continued.
"I don't want to get a penny from him. Stop talking and work hard! There are so many people, we can't make mistakes!" Su Nianci said seriously.
"Yes, leader!"
Ten o'clock in the morning.
The rolling shutter door of the point of sale slowly opened.
Tens of thousands of people in front of the point of sale let out excited shouts.
"Attention everyone, think about the version you want to buy. After entering, get the cartridge, pay, and go through the back door. Don't linger or think for too long. Please cooperate!" the salesperson at the sales point shouted loudly with a loudspeaker. .
"I know, I know, hurry up!"
"Speed!"
Everyone shouted.
As everyone shouted, the railing blocking the door was opened, and then, one after another customers walked into the store.
At this time, all other games in the sales point have been temporarily removed from the shelves, and the entire sales point is filled with cards from the world of practitioners.
There are three versions of the game cartridges sold this time, one is the regular version, one is the silver version, and one is the gold version.
Both the regular version and the silver version are chucks made of decomposable materials. That is to say, when the data of these two versions of the chuck is read, the entire chuck will be decomposed in the game helmet, which can maximize the Minimize the appearance of pirated content in games, which is also a feature of game cartridges in this era.
The difference between the silver version and the regular version is that you can get some souvenirs with the silver version, but other than that there is not much difference.
This time, the ordinary version of the chuck is priced at 100 yuan, the silver version is 1,880 yuan, and the gold version is 10,000 yuan. The gold version will not be broken down and has a high collection value, and because it has exclusive The title was customized, so it was sold for 10,000 yuan.
The crowd kept moving forward, and Lin Youran kept praying in her heart that the gold version was not bought up by the people in front of them.
After about five minutes, Lin Youran was queued up.
Lin Youran walked into the store. The entire store was filled with game cartridges from the world of practitioners.
"Miss, what kind of chuck do you need?" the waiter asked.
"I want the gold collector's edition!" Lin Youran said quickly.
"Sorry, miss, the gold collector's edition has been sold out." The waiter said apologetically.
"Sold out?!" Lin Youran looked at the salesman in disbelief and said, "I just counted the people in front of me, which is one hundred and five. These one hundred and five people, the whole hundred Bought all the pieces? Didn’t it say that one person is limited to one purchase?”
"Yes, a total of 100% has been sold out. Miss, you may not know yet, but within the few minutes of the sale, the price of a gold collector's edition chuck has been raised to 50,000, so , many people will buy a copy, and even if they don’t collect it themselves, they can make tens of thousands by selling it, so almost everyone among the more than 100 people in line before you has bought a copy." Sales. member said.
Hearing the salesperson's words, Lin Youran was completely discouraged. She had been waiting in line for so long, but in the end she couldn't buy the gold version of the chuck she wanted most. That feeling was really disappointing.
"We recommend that you buy the silver version. There are currently many silver versions." the salesperson said.
"Okay." Lin Youran nodded with tears in his eyes, then bought a silver version and left the sales point through the back door.
Looking at the silver version in her hand, Lin Youran was sad because her customized title was no longer available. She originally planned to customize a title called Director Xu Official Fan Club.
Lin Youran walked back to the place where the battery car was parked, only to find that her battery car was also missing, leaving only a pair of disassembled battery car wheel locks on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Lin Youran finally couldn't help it, sat on the ground and cried.
"Youran, what's wrong with you?!" A gentle voice came from the side.
Lin Youran was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked forward.
In front of him, Xu Taiping was standing there, looking at her with concern.
"Xu...Director Xu?!" Lin Youran shouted in disbelief.
"Well, why are you sitting here crying?" Xu Taiping asked.
"I...I...I wanted to buy the golden collector's edition chuck, but, it was sold out." Lin Youran said while sobbing.
"Didn't buy it? Then tell me, I have a lot of gold collector's editions. I'll give you one." Xu Taiping said.
"Send it to me? Really?!" Lin Youran shouted in surprise. This happiness came too suddenly for her.
"Of course... I kept some of it for my friends!" Xu Taiping nodded.
"Thank you so much!" Lin Youran jumped up from the ground, bowed deeply to Xu Taiping and said, "Director Xu, thank you."
"Haha, it's nothing, let's go, my car is parked over there." Xu Taiping pointed to the side and said.
"Can I take your car?" Lin Youran asked in disbelief.
"Of course, I actually sneaked over here today to check out the sales situation, because many people told me that the sales were crazy. I didn't expect to see you here. It's fate!" Xu Taiping said with a smile.
"Thank you, thank you, Director Xu!" Lin Youran said excitedly.
"You're welcome, let's go!" Xu Taiping greeted Lin Youran, and then took Lin Youran into his car. After that, Xu Taiping took Lin Youran directly to his game company.
