Chapter 8 You also surf the Internet
When he walked out of the technology market, there was a wave of heat coming towards him. Qi Ming suddenly regretted that the Yili torch in his hand was whispering too fast.
All six games are genuine, and the price of more than 600 yuan is actually barely considered a conscientious price.
In 1999, Sega and Capcom were popular in Japan.
The two leading players in the European and American gaming industry are EA and Ubisoft.
At the same time, a shooting game by V Club made a big splash at last year's E3 exhibition and quickly became popular in Europe and the United States. It was called "Half-Life", while domestic players like to call it "Half-Life".
However, "Half-Life" that is well known to domestic players in the true sense is actually "Counter-Strike" produced by the module.
And with Half Life becoming popular in China, there is another Blizzard game called Diablo 2.
However, these two games will be popular next year or the year after. With the domestic computer rooms sprouting like mushrooms after a rain, these games first appeared in the computer rooms.
It’s really profitable to open a computer room at this time. There is a saying that you want to send it, open a computer room - Bah! It doesn’t rhyme at all.
Five hundred yuan is undoubtedly a huge sum of money for a high school student Qiming. Fortunately, both parents are doing business and have intentionally cultivated Qiming's awareness of saving money and managing finances since they were very young.
After graduating from junior high school, Qi Ming had his own bank card and saved some money from time to time. Now, there are at least 2,000 yuan in it.
After coming out of the technology market, Qi Ming was not in a hurry to go home.
Instead, I came to a building opposite the technology market, took the elevator to the third floor, followed the sign to find a room inside, and was attracted by the inconspicuous words at the door.
"Networking Suifeng Computer Room, 13 yuan per hour."
That’s right! Thirteen yuan per hour, you should know that pork is only three or four yuan per pound at this time.
Back then, small cities like Zhongzhou, or most cities, did not have the concept of computer rooms, and most of them were called computer rooms.
The games basically only have Red Alert, Interstellar, and the Age of Empires. Apart from watching movies, there is only surfing the Internet.
Compared with later generations, home networks are easy to use 100 megabits of broadband. In this era, the Internet speed of more than 100 KB is called surfing online. Dare to believe it?
Sitting at the door of the computer room was a young woman in her twenties, wearing black-framed glasses, and was watching "The Second Part of the Condor Heroes" on a computer.
Qi Ming took a look at the computer room and roughly understood the overall layout.
There are about twenty machines in the entire half-story building.
The compact and heavy gray big head monitor can also be seen on the chassis with floppy drive and optical drive.
The air conditioner that was half dead above her head was whimpering, and the crystal girls and sunny boys around her were having a lot of fun chatting on OICQ.
Even in the corner, there were several junior students watching undescribable European and American movies on a computer.
“Surfing the Internet, thirteen hours a day.”
The young girl eating melon seeds said without raising her head.
"Sister, I don't go online."
Qi Ming's little mouth was like smearing honey, and his sister's scream was so sweet.
The little girl who was eating melon seeds heard that the other person's mouth was sweet. Even though she looked cold and indifferent, she was very happy in her heart and couldn't help but move her eyes out of the TV series.
Seeing Qi Ming, a fair boy, who is not handsome, at most he is pleasing to the eye. He is wearing a white shirt, which makes him look a bit out of place with the atmosphere of this computer room.
"I just want to ask, can our computer room crack the genuine game?"
This sentence made the little girl sit up involuntarily and put down the melon seeds in her hand. She looked at Qi Ming again and waved: "We are a regular computer room, and we don't do pirated copies."
Qi Ming had no intention of giving up and continued to ask: "The latest European and American games are not available on the market."
“Not interested.”
"So, what about Chineseization? Are you interested in purely manual translation? " Qi Ming continued
The little girl eating melon seeds: "My boyfriend is the boss here. You can wait here for a while, I will call him out and you two will chat."
Compared with later generations who downloaded directly from the official platform, all the games at this time were disc-mounted, and some popular large-scale games were made by domestic publishers themselves.
However, there is a difference in time information here, such as classic games such as "Half-Life" and "Diablo". The former became popular in Europe and the United States after the E3 show in 1998. "Diablo" was also released at the beginning of the two thousand years, and sales were out of control.
However, it will take two or three years for these two games to enter the vision of domestic players.
From 1999 to 2001, two years were like a vacuum. If you don’t seize it, you’d be sorry for this back-up life.
The boss who is online news is a young man named Lu, who is not a few years older than Qi Ming.
How to describe it? It is skinny and a small white T-shirt that still feels empty when worn on the body, a bit like the fat head in Jordan Chan’s version of the Deer and the Cauldron.
He had long hair, the ends were thinner, and the bangs were hanging in front of him. Yes, it was the literary hairstyle that was popular for a long time in the late 1990s.
It is full of companionship and unruly, but it is difficult to take care of. If you don’t wash it for two days, it will become greasy.
In fact, it is not accidental that Qi Ming found the Internet and the incident, and it is not that he hit a dead mouse.
There are about a dozen computer rooms near the technology market, which is not the case with many unknown computer experts in the technology market that year.
The reason why I chose to be in the Internet is because I cracked down on piracy in 2007, among which the boss of the Internet is in the largest scale.
Later, Qi Ming learned about his identity. This guy turned out to be a senior moderator of the 3DM forum.
If you want to talk about cracking games, especially those that have just been released not long ago, let alone the whole country, there are only a few studios in the world that have this ability.
And 3DM and Youxia.com are the top players in the country.
The boss who is in the Internet business, named Lu, looked up and down at Qi Ming. To be honest, a high school student doesn't necessarily take it seriously.
But when he heard that Qi Ming could provide Chinese translation, he was very interested in chatting with Qi Ming: "What kind of game do you want to crack? But I need to remind you, young man, you should know that there are risks in doing this industry."
Qi Ming said without hesitation: "I will take the risk myself. I will crack six games first, and I will bring them here three days later."
"How much can you give?" The boss named Lu rubbed his fingers and gestured to count the money.
Qi Ming smiled and said, "Look at me, a high school student, I can't do anything if you speak loudly. At worst, I won't lose much if I don't do business."
"How much can you give?"
"I will spend at most 500 yuan, and crack six games first." Qi Ming touched the pockets on both sides, "Boss, you have to know that I spent a lot of money just by buying these genuine games, but Boss, you have the skills. What's more, you are still guarding the technology market and have the latest games cracked in your hands, so are you worried that you can't sell them?"
At this moment, the boss named Lu finally understood the deep meaning of Qi Ming's words. This is not about bargaining, but about vain.
Seeing the boss hesitating, Qi Ming continued, "Let me go. The games I provide are basically not available on the market, which means that domestic agents have not yet obtained them, and they have not started to be Chinese. I got the cracked game myself and I can't do it casually. I will say this, it's better not to click through the following words. You are a smart person and will definitely weigh the pros and cons by yourself, not to mention that you are an expert. You see the prospects of this business farther than me. Right?"
What does it mean to be a clever tongue? Even if Qi Ming's words don't touch the other person's heart, at least it will make the other person feel that it is indeed profitable.
What's more, the Chineseization of Light is too tempting.
Take genuine games for example. Whether it is a console game or a PC game, the opposite technology market is transported from Hong Kong, sacks and sacks from the deep sea Luohu to the inland.
As for cracking the game, Lu himself is a senior moderator of 3DM. He has a wide connection in the forum, cracking is not a rare thing for him.
But it is impossible for this Chinese version, especially the newly released games abroad, to be Chinese version, and there is not even traditional Chinese version.
In later generations, 3DM, Youxia.com and Youmin Starry Sky, the competition for the Chineseization can be said to be fierce.
At the beginning, they were willing to manually Chinese and pursue high-quality Chinese content, but in the last three companies, they were increasingly competitive, so they simply flipped it out by machine, and the content was even more uneven.
These are relatively profitable Chinese groups, not counting the Chinese groups that are organized by the people who use love to generate electricity and are simply because of love.
The boss of the Internet Affairs Suifeng said: "When will you bring the game?"
"In three days, I will get six first, and you can help me export the text document and I will do the Chinese version. When I finish the Chinese version, you will try to crack it. As for how much to burn and how much to sell, then we will have to show our magical powers across the sea." Qi Ming smiled confidently.
In the other person's eyes, his confident smile is completely the conceit of a high school student who is not very experienced in the world.
There are more than 20 computers in the computer room of NetShi Suifeng. If each of them can be equipped with the latest games, how many customers will it attract?
This is not about guarding the opposite technology market. As long as these cracking games appear, they will crack the source again, and the sales prospects are very impressive.
"Then I'll wait for you for a few days. At that time, I will invite a few friends from Dijing to crack your game. I hope you don't have a lot of mouth running the train and take out some real information at that time."
"It's easy to talk, it's easy to talk. The boss's business is booming." Qi Ming smiled, and did not talk much nonsense with the other party. He turned around and immediately went to the computer room of Suifeng.
...
Early in the morning of the third day, Qi Ming came to the technology market alone. He found the small shop that assembled computers and naturally took away six games from his boss.
"Exotic Soul-Supervisor", "Rainbow Six", "Delta Special Forces", "Resident Evil 2", "Tomb Raider 3", "All-Supervisors".
Six games filled the entire schoolbag, and went to the Internet for a while and asked the boss named Lu to export the text from these games.
Taking the exported game text, Qi Ming went directly to the family courtyard of China Construction Seventh Bureau.
Standing at the building at Fang Wenjin's house in a hot day, it was a roar. There was no way, contacting in the era without a phone call is basically based on roaring.
After shouting for a few moments, Fang Wenjin's window opened and a beautiful figure appeared beside the window door.
The long hair spread apart and fluttered with the hot wind.
Fang Wenjin lives on the fourth floor and said curiously: "Come up, stand at the bottom of the building, don't you mind the sun poisoning outside?"
Qi Ming ran to the fourth floor with a thrilling groan. Fang Wenjin was also alone at home. He opened the door and wanted to welcome Qi Ming into the house. But someone stood at the door without any intention of going in: "Go, go out with me."
"The weather is so hot, I won't go out."
"Please drink soda."
"Never go there."
Seeing that the girl was not in trouble, Qi Ming said, "You really don't plan to go out? I remember some time ago, you asked me to rent a book shop outside the school and rented a few books about Shizi for you. What's the name? Oh, by the way, "Going to Have a Secret Love", "Red Sleeve Shooting", and "Playing the Mandarin Duck". At first I didn't understand why you didn't go by yourself, but then I looked a few times and saw the content inside... Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk t
Fang Wenjin was both ashamed and angry. She was so angry that she stamped her feet by Qi Ming's threat, but she had no choice but to say angrily: "Qi Ming, shut up!"
Chapter completed!
