.
Shiqiao District, Computer City.
In a computer shop, Mu Feng was complaining about AMD's deception, but he did not forget his business.
The middle-aged boss of the computer shop looked at Mu Feng in surprise and replied, "Athlon 64.X 2.5600 + CPU, there are more than a hundred of them!"
Mu Feng asked, "Can I get the goods from other places?
Oh yeah, how many other AMD CPU models do they have? "
2007 was the year when dual-core CPU became popular. The low-end market was still using single-core Celeron and Velociraptor.
AMD's top CPU this year was the Athlon 64.X 2.6400 +, but it was not released at the beginning of the year.
Currently, AMD's top CPU was the Athlon 64.X 2.5600 +. It was only released for less than a week, and the price was as high as 1,400 yuan. The Athlon 64.X 2.6000 + was officially available for pre-order.
The middle-aged boss nodded and said, "We can get the goods, but the price is 20 yuan more. After all, other shops also need to make money.
Also, I can't guarantee that I can get it at this price. "
Mu Feng revealed a shrewd look. The Athlon 64.X 2.5600 + was AMD's top CPU, and the winning rate was only 1,100. Then, the winning rate of other CPU models would be even lower.
Originally, AMD had won 100,000 units, and the price of the "World of Brave" closed beta invitation code had plummeted. Now, the price might fluctuate again!
"Boss, get someone to get the goods here quickly!
We'll buy as many Athlon 64.X 2.5600 + that you have. As for other AMD low-end CPUs, we only want the batch that was manufactured on January 1st, 2007. As for the other CPUs, we'll lower the price based on the winning rate of the Athlon 64.X 2.5600 + based on the winning rate of the Athlon 64.X! "Mu Feng replied.
The middle-aged boss of the computer shop was still worried about Mu Feng. He discussed the price of each CPU model in advance, and then ordered his staff to go to other computer shops to get the goods.
Mu Feng's second electronic code vanished into thin air under the 1,100 winning rate.
The other four members who participated in the group purchase also did not survive.
Mu Feng was unhappy with this result. He logged into AMD's global website and checked the news announcement.
At the bottom of the news announcement, there were some specific terms written in very small font.
[AMD's additional explanation on the invitation code for World of Brave:
1. The electronic code lottery system is fair, open, and just. Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd. is fully responsible for it. The electronic code generated by AMD only represents the qualification for the lottery.
2. Regarding the CPUs that are sold together, they will enjoy all the normal after-sales services.
If there are quality problems, AMD will replace the CPU according to the normal service terms. However, the new CPU corresponding to the SN code will not be eligible for the lucky draw.
3. AMD and Dream Entertainment's activities will be carried out worldwide. There will be no restrictions on any region's participation, and there will be no discrimination policies.
4. The final right to explain the event belongs to AMD.
Mu Feng looked at the four additional instructions and snorted coldly.
Apart from the third clause, there was nothing wrong with the other clauses.
The third clause sounded nice, saying that it did not restrict any region from participating, and there was no discrimination policy. However, such a policy was the most disgusting clause!
The only confirmed closed beta testing areas for "World of the Brave" were China's mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao. The other areas were not confirmed for the closed beta testing yet.
What was the point of using the invitation code for "World of the Brave" if there were no closed beta testing areas?
Maybe they wanted to play "World of the Brave" too. They could use proxy IP to jump to Xia Brave's network, but did they need so many invitation codes?
"Damn AMD, how dare they use such disgusting methods!"
Mu Feng closed AMD's official website and opened Dream Entertainment's official forum to check the "World of the Brave" closed beta testing invitation code trading area.
Dream Entertainment was very considerate to set up a closed beta testing invitation code trading area for the players. This was to prevent the players from being cheated.
If a player wanted to sell a closed beta testing invitation code, the closed beta testing invitation code would be put up for sale in the trading area.
After the trading system confirmed the validity of the closed beta testing invitation code, it would automatically mark the invitation code for sale and cancel the validity of the closed beta testing invitation code. Then, a new invitation code would be generated.
This way, the players who sold the closed beta testing invitation code could not sell more than one invitation code, and the closed beta testing invitation code could even be made public after the closed beta testing invitation code was sold.
The players gave Dream Entertainment a lot of good reviews for this measure. They praised Dream Entertainment for being considerate to the players and sincerely solving the problem for the players. This was highly praised by the players.
The trading system made the closed beta testing invitation code trading more convenient, and the value of the closed beta testing invitation code could be measured more clearly.
The "World of the Brave" closed beta testing invitation code trading area was filled with posts asking for purchase. The price of the posts had risen to around 5,000 to 6,000 RMB.
The only post that sold the closed beta testing invitation code was priced at 12000 RMB.
Mu Feng wanted to buy it, but just as he was about to call the seller, the status bar of the post had changed to "Sold", indicating that the closed beta testing invitation code had been bought!
"F * ck!" Even though Mu Feng's character was quite high, he couldn't help but swear.
An Athlon 64.X 2.5600 + cost around 1,400 RMB. Even with their agreement with the computer store, it was equivalent to 130 RMB per lucky draw, and the winning rate was only 1/100.
Although the official forum's closed beta invitation code was priced at 12000 yuan, the price of 12000 yuan meant that one would definitely be able to get a closed beta invitation code. If it was a lucky draw, it would be a huge question whether one could get a closed beta invitation code after spending 12000 yuan.
Jingya Court, Building 10, room 203.
Shi Lei was fully immersed in writing the God of War system, so he did not know that the price of the closed beta testing invitation code for the "World of the Brave" had skyrocketed again.
Li Yuan did not have any concept of online games. He was watching Hong Kong movies and eating all kinds of snacks. He was very relaxed.
Shiqiao District, super player Mu Feng looked at the information displayed on the Dream Entertainment official forum on his computer and cursed AMD without caring about his image.
The winning rate of AMD's CPU was divided into three categories. The top Athlon 64.X 2.5600 + had a winning rate of 1/100; the dual-core high-end CPU only had a winning rate of 1/200; and the low-end single-core CPU only had a winning rate of 11000!
With such a winning rate, wasn't it a joke?
On Dream Entertainment's official player forum, a rich player from Jing City named 'Thunderbolt' posted the winning rates of AMD, ASUS, MSI, and Sapphire's products.
< List of the winning rates of the four major companies, the price of the World of the Brave's closed beta testing invitation code might be higher! >
"… Yesterday, after the joint press conference between Dream Entertainment and AMD, the closed beta testing invitation code for the" World of the Brave "dropped 75 times, from 15000 RMB to 200 RMB.
After all, AMD has obtained 100,000 invitation codes for closed beta testing. This has given us, the majority of players, a glimmer of hope! "
"… But in fact, dreams are beautiful, reality is cruel. The four major companies' announcement page had specifically stated that the" World of the Brave "closed beta testing invitation code event would be carried out simultaneously around the world, and there was no regional discrimination.
100,000 invitation codes for the "World of the Brave" closed beta testing will be distributed to players all over the world. What kind of concept is this? "
"Regarding the winning rates of the" World of the Brave "closed beta testing invitation code of the four companies, the situation is shown below for your reference."
"ADM's CPUs: the top-notch Athlon 64.X 2.5600 + has a winning rate of 1100; the Athlon 64.X2 series has a winning rate of 1200; the Athlon 64.X2 series has a winning rate of 11000; the Velociraptor and Flash Dragon single-core CPUs have a winning rate of 11000.
The Athlon 64.X 2.5600 + has a winning rate on AMD's official website, indicating that there is a high chance of winning.
As expected, there is a high chance! "
"ATI's graphics cards from the three graphics card companies: The top X1900 GT has a winning rate of 1/500; the mid-range graphics card has a winning rate of 11000; as for the entry-level graphics card, the winning rate is only 12000!
Think about it, AMD has 70,000 invitation codes for the closed beta testing, and the three graphics card companies only have 10,000 each. Based on this calculation, the three graphics card companies seem to be more generous than AMD, right? "
"… Finally, take a look at the closed beta certification medal that I just applied for.
Hehehe, isn't it beautiful? "
Thunderbolt, a rich player from Beijing, posted the application process for the closed beta certification medal at the end of the post.
The so-called closed beta certification medal was an additional subsystem of the closed beta invitation code trading system.
As long as a player submitted a valid closed beta invitation code to Dream Entertainment's official forum, they could apply for the closed beta certification medal.
The application process for the closed beta certification medal was the same as the closed beta invitation code trading system. Once the closed beta invitation code was submitted, the corresponding closed beta invitation code would immediately become invalid. The system would generate a new closed beta invitation code, but it would not be issued to the player for the time being. Instead, it would be converted into a closed beta certification medal. Under the player's avatar on the official forum, a medal with the word "closed beta" engraved on it would be added.
To obtain a new closed beta invitation code, the player would need to apply to Dream Entertainment's official forum.
After the application, the system would immediately issue the closed beta invitation code, but at the same time, the closed beta certification medal would be canceled.
The closed beta certification medal was just a player's honor, it had no practical use.
In the Shiqiao District, the super player Mu Feng and four other members of the group had drawn 130 Athlon 64.X 2.5600 + CPU SN codes in a row, but they still did not get a single closed beta invitation code for World of Heroes.
Mu Feng began to think about whether he should continue or use other methods.
