May 14th, 11 PM.
Shi Lei walked out of the kitchen with a bottle of yogurt in his hand.
This guy didn't like carbonated drinks because carbonated drinks were weak acidic drinks and soy milk was weak alkaline. Carbonated drinks would kill the tadpoles living in the soy milk.
Therefore, Shi Lei firmly rejected carbonated drinks.
As he drank yogurt with a straw, he returned to his bedroom. Shi Lei asked in a muffled voice, "Izur, analyze the location information of the Xia players and filter them according to the region information."
"Sorry, sir, I can't recognize vague speech or non-standard lip-reading."
Since Shi Lei had a straw in his mouth, Izur couldn't recognize the speech or lip-reading information.
Shi Lei could only repeat himself and add, "The information is displayed on the projection screen."
"Sir, please wait. Analyzing is in progress."
Izur immediately began the analysis. Based on the IP address of the player, Izur could easily determine the player's real address.
When players registered in the Hero's World, they also needed to authenticate their real names.
With the authenticated data, Izur could check the player's identity information through the Shuangqing City police network. Then, using the identity and IP address, he could conduct a second dynamic analysis.
After nearly three minutes, Izur finally displayed the data on the projector.
After all, there were more than 9.5 million Xia Xia players in the Hero's World. Even if Izur analyzed the location information, it would still take some time to process.
"Sir, the location information analysis is complete!" Izur replied.
Shi Lei sucked hard on the yogurt straw until all the yogurt in the bottle was finished. Then, Shi Lei placed the empty bottle on the computer table.
On the projection screen, a complete map of the Xia Xia was displayed. On the right side of the map, Izur ranked the regions in reverse order according to the number of players.
Shi Lei did a cursory check and didn't observe in detail. He said, "Izur, according to the statistics, the city-level regions with more than 100,000 players, including the county-level cities."
Izur did a quick calculation. There were less than 40 regions that met the criteria. To be exact, there were only 36 regions.
Other than the four cities directly under his jurisdiction, there were also the provincial capital cities and sub-provincial cities. There were very few other cities.
As for the county-level cities that Shi Lei had purposely included, there was not a single one.
Shuangqing City, where Dream Entertainment was located, had more than 800,000 players. However, Shuangqing City was not ranked first.
The title of the region with the most number of players fell on the head of Jing City.
There were more than a million players in Beijing, with a total of 1.04 million players, and most of them were active players.
The second place was not Shuangqing City, but Shanghai City.
Shi Lei checked further details and found that a considerable number of players in Beijing and Magic City were not local players.
According to Izur's investigation, there were many higher education institutions in the two regions, and many of the players came from these institutions.
There were 56 undergraduate colleges in Beijing City and 30 in Shanghai City.
In Xia Xia, the best life of a student was in university.
A student working hard for twelve years, wasn't it all for the sake of living a carefree life in university, playing games and picking up girls?
Shi Lei looked at the information and thought of a good idea. He wanted to rope in the students of the higher education institutions to join the Hero's World and contribute to the Hero's World.
Most of the students couldn't buy a personal game server, nor could they set up a somatosensory control platform.
However, less than 10% of the players in the Hero's World used somatosensory control. It didn't matter if they didn't use somatosensory control.
Most of the students in the higher education institutions didn't have a busy life. They had a lot of time to play games and entertainment. They were the potential players of the Hero's World.
"Izur, check the IP addresses of the players in Xia Xia and find out how many of them came from the campus network.
Compile the information of these players and make a list of their schools. Sort them according to the number of players, "Shi Lei instructed Izur again.
The second analysis took less than 30 seconds.
Izur had already obtained the IP addresses of the players, so he only needed to compare them one by one.
After checking the results that Izur had listed, Shi Lei smiled and said, "Izur, how many institutions of higher education have more than 100 players?"
Izur replied, "Sir, the total number is more than a thousand. Should I list them in detail?"
"No need!"
Shi Lei immediately rejected. "Izur, prepare to publish the latest news on the Hero's World's official website."
He organized his words and continued, "The Hero's World's First Martial Arts Tournament has opened a special offline registration event.
Forget it, I'll do it myself! "
Shi Lei faced the projection screen and reached out with his right hand. Then, he pointed at Server One's monitor. Izur immediately turned off the projector and connected the screen to Server One's monitor.
Shi Lei sat in front of Server One and pulled out the keyboard. His hands were like a precise typewriter as he quickly typed on the keyboard. Lines of text appeared on the blank webpage that Izur had created in advance.
About 15 minutes later, Shi Lei finished editing the text and beautifying it. Then, he had Izur post the news on the Hero's World's official website.
Perhaps it was a coincidence, but the Hero's World's World's World's World's Time was once again published overseas.
It was 11 PM in Xia Xia. Overseas, it was daytime in most regions.
Many domestic media outlets would probably criticize Dream Entertainment because of this incident.
…
The Hero's World's World's World's World's First Martial Arts Tournament's offline registration event was released in a low-key manner.
Shi Lei did not instruct Izur to make an announcement in the Hero's World's World. It was as if he did not want everyone to know.
Unfortunately, there were always players paying attention to the official website of the World of Heroes.
When the offline registration for the first Martial Arts Tournament was released, it was immediately discovered by the players.
Then, through various channels, the news spread like wildfire. In less than ten minutes, the offline registration event had become a hot topic.
"Special Offline Registration for the First Martial Arts Tournament"
The official registration for the Hero World's First Martial Arts Tournament began on May 20th at 00: 00 AM and ended on May 31st at 23: 59: 59 AM.
At that time, any player of the World of Heroes would be able to register through the official website and the World of Heroes client.
Regardless of whether it was through the official website or the World of Heroes app, players who registered to participate in the World of Heroes' First Martial Arts Tournament had to pay a hundred copper coins registration fee.
In order to thank the players for their support, Dream Entertainment launched a special offline registration event to help some players register.
"All players who meet the requirements can join the first Martial Arts Tournament through a special offline registration event. They will be exempted from the registration fee of one hundred copper coins.
The specific situation is as follows:
"1. Players who participate in the special offline registration event must be students of an institution of higher learning in the Xia Continent, and the minimum level of the World of Heroes character must be no lower than Level 10.
"2. Institutions of higher learning that apply to become the special offline registration point must have no less than one hundred players in the World of Heroes. The minimum level must be no lower than Level 10, and there must be at least one player above Level 12.
"3. Institutions of higher learning that meet the requirements to apply for the special offline registration point, please apply on the official website.
This review will be automatically completed by the World of Heroes' main system, and applications and reviews will be accepted twenty-four hours a day.
"4. At least five players are required to become special supervisors of the special offline registration point. They will help other students who meet the requirements to complete the offline registration event.
The five special supervisors must be no younger than eighteen years old. The Good and Evil Index of the World of Heroes character must be greater than zero. They must have laptops and high-definition cameras. They must also have a registration point that provides internet access.
"5. Only players from the school are allowed to register at the special offline registration point.
When players register, they must provide their identity and student identification.
"6. Dream Entertainment will provide compensation to the special supervisors of the special offline registration point for their contributions to the World of Heroes.
The specific compensation is that Dream Entertainment will provide fifty copper coins for each player who meets the requirements.
The distribution of the compensation will be handled by the special offline registration point.
"Thank you to all the players who support the World of Heroes and Dream Entertainment. I wish you all a happy gaming experience. I wish you all good results in the first Martial Arts Tournament and a satisfactory individual ranking."
…
The special offline registration event immediately attracted a lot of response and praise from the circle of students in the institutions of higher learning.
The purchasing power of the copper coins in the World of Heroes was quite high.
Although Dream Entertainment did not provide a service to exchange copper coins with real money, there were people buying copper coins in the virtual trading system set up by Dream Entertainment at any time.
These were not people arranged by Shi Lei but real players buying copper coins.
The purchase price was ten copper coins, which was equivalent to one World Day.
The registration fee for the first Martial Arts Tournament in the World of Heroes was one hundred copper coins, which was equivalent to ten World Day.
If ten million people registered for the tournament, Dream Entertainment had used up one hundred million World Day worth of copper coins just for the registration fee. The total prize money for the first Martial Arts Tournament was 6.3 million USD, which was equivalent to fifty million and four hundred thousand World Day. It was only slightly more than half of the registration fee.
All in all, Dream Entertainment had made a good deal for them!
The special offline registration event allowed players to save one hundred copper coins, which was very attractive to players. At the very least, the students in the institutions of higher learning were very interested in this event.
There were also some ambitious or economically minded players who wanted to hire the special supervisors of the offline registration point.
This was because Dream Entertainment would compensate the offline registration point. Every time they accepted a player's registration, they would receive fifty copper coins as compensation.
Fifty copper coins were equivalent to five World Day. It seemed like a small amount, but what if there were one thousand players in the institution?
Even if it was a special offline registration point that required five people to be in charge, each person could still get a share of 1,000 yuan.
In 2007, 1000 RMB was very tempting.
Moreover, for the ambitious players, ten thousand copper coins were far more attractive than one thousand.
For the institutions of higher learning in the World of Day, having one thousand players was not a problem.
Which institution of higher learning did not have thousands or tens of thousands of people?
Some comprehensive universities had thirty to fifty thousand people!
If the special supervisors of the offline registration point had a higher status in the institution, they could even set up a gaming club in the institution.
Then, they could mobilize the club members to sign up directly.
If the president of the student council stepped in, it would be easy for them to exceed the number of people who signed up and receive a large amount of compensation from Dream Entertainment.
Although Dream Entertainment's compensation plan was only a drop in the ocean to them, it was still a huge sum.
To the students in the institution of higher learning, it was not a small sum of money.
However, the special offline registration event for the World of Heroes made the overseas players very unhappy!
