Sam dragged the remodeled server computer to school, and with the help of his roommates, Armida and the others, he assembled the complicated computer.
"What is this thing?" Armida asked curiously as he watched Sam laboriously build a server computer that was as tall as a bookshelf.
"A super entertainment terminal." Sam screwed the last screw and clapped his hands. "Okay, it's finally done."
Although the lizard-headed Caesar looked a little scary, he was actually a curious baby. "A super entertainment terminal? What is that?" Caesar was very curious.
Sam pointed to the living room of his dormitory and said, "There, what are they doing?" The living room of 30 square meters was filled with students playing games or waiting to play games. Not only were there students of the same grade, but there were also many seniors in the higher grades.
"Playing video games," the red-skinned Ren Lai said matter-of-factly. Video games was a new word, and it was Sam who taught them.
"Video games are one of the types of entertainment I'm talking about. And this! " Sam patted the server computer that had just been built. "This is a top-notch entertainment terminal!"
Sam's three roommates could not help but gather around to look at the dark iron guy. In fact, when they helped Sam install the big guy, the three of them already knew that the manufacturing process of this thing was not particularly complicated.
In some ways, it was even a little backward. But Sam's civilization was very special. Just like the Nintendo NS game console that he took out before, although it looked backward from all angles, after playing it, no one felt that it was backward. Instead, they felt that it was super interesting.
And now, the big guy that Sam took out was dozens of times bigger than the Nintendo NS game console, and the construction inside was also more complicated. So, how fun could this thing provide?
As the second prince of Milkal and also the second in line to inherit the civilization, Armida could not help but ask, "Can this provide more and better games?"
As the hope of Milkal, Armida had already begun to sink. Ever since he started playing Super Mario, he had been addicted to electronic heroin.
Ren Lai and Siska were not much better. As a civilization that had never played video games before, and their civilization lacked interesting entertainment activities to begin with, they were almost addicted to the game the moment they started playing it.
That feeling was like a good kid who came out of the mountains and only knew how to farm and study was brought to an internet cafe by his unscrupulous roommate.
How great was the temptation of Internet cafes and computers? Everyone on Earth who could afford to play with a computer and surf the internet knew about it. Some people could go a day without food, but they couldn't go a day without a computer (games, internet).
In fact, there was a deeper meaning behind Li Jie asking the big shots of the Illuminati to build this server-type mainframe for Sam. It wasn't just for Sam to play with.
As mentioned before, Nightcrawler Li Jie recorded a lot of videos for Sam. On the way to Planet Shandar, in the Guardian of the Galaxy spaceship, Sam has watched the videos repeatedly.
There were a lot of things that Nightcrawler said very clearly. Li Jie was afraid that Sam wouldn't understand. Sam came to the Nova Corps headquarters with a mission.
He came for the future of Earth! In the video, Li Jie spoke to him very cautiously and called him a real hero.
The moment he was called that, Sam felt that he had an important responsibility and burden on his back! He needed to do something.
Looking at the server he had set up, Sam felt that he had completed the first step of the whole important plan.
In fact, these days, although Sam rented out game consoles to his classmates to play, there were not many games provided. There were only about ten games. He needed to ensure everyone's enthusiasm for the game and release new games before the enthusiasm for the old games was exhausted, so that everyone's enthusiasm would last for a long time.
If all the games were released in one go, there would be an explosive reaction in a short period of time, but it wouldn't last long. A steady stream was much better than a flash flood.
Why did he provide eight game consoles? In fact, Sam also brought a lot of spare game consoles, but he didn't take them out all at once. They were all for [Hunger Marketing]. This is the method that Nightcrawler taught him in the video.
There were only eight game consoles, but there were so many people who wanted to play games, so everyone could only wait in line. In fact, some of the students have found that the games provided by Sam are very similar to some of the projects in the [Earth Entertainment Club] opened by Xandar.
It's not that there are no students who want to go to [Earth Entertainment Club] to play, the key is that the consumption of this club is a bit high. Although Star-Lord's positioning for the club is low-price consumption, this low-price consumption refers to the elite warrior group in the Nova Corps.
The so-called low-price consumption of this group is still a high price that students can't afford. Sam only provides game consoles for entertainment and some small snacks, but the price is cheap and students can afford it.
But what can eight game consoles do? There are as many as tens of thousands of students in the entire Nova Corps Preparatory High School. There are as many as thousands of students in Sam's grade.
As the news of Sam renting out game consoles spread, more and more people began to line up at the door of Sam and others' dormitory waiting to get on the machine.
And some people are willing to pay a premium to get on the machine, but as a person with a bottom line and morality, Sam sternly refused this kind of behavior that breaks the rules.
But more and more people want to play, and their dormitory is almost full. What should they do now?
"This is my ultimate solution!" Sam patted the server host. "This host can meet the needs of three thousand people for entertainment at the same time!"
"Three thousand people?!" Armida and the other two widened their eyes. "Our dormitory can't accommodate so many people."
"No, we don't need it in our dormitory. In fact, we can use a wireless network. I plan to sell 100 units of equipment to support this host first. "Sam took out a square metal body, which looks about the size of a pencil box.
But the difference is that this metal has a projection hole and some jack holes for adapter devices.
"After this server is running, you can use this device to connect to the host through a wireless network. Each device can operate independently without interfering with each other. I already have ten different games, ten movies, and two TV series installed in this console. There are also some novels and comics. I'll update this content every once in a while, "Sam said to his roommate confidently.
In fact, the storage capacity of this server host is far more than that. But following Nightcrawler's [Hunger Marketing], Sam did not plan to release all of it at once. Just like how there are more than 100 wireless devices connected to the host, there are 3,000 of them!
But the true meaning of [Hunger Marketing] is to let people watch others play, but they can't play themselves. As long as the marketing works in this way, then it will be a success.
"I plan to sell 100 units of equipment. The purchase cost of each device is 500 Shandal dollars. Then I will pay 50 Shandal dollars every month for the rental fee and content service fee. Help me spread the word to the students who have played our game consoles, including the seniors. "
"Spread the influence in the school. I want everyone to discuss this thing. If the three of you help me, I will give each of you one of these devices. I will also not charge you for the content service fee every month. I will also give you a 0.5% commission! "The 16-year-old Sam already has the temperament of a certain person on Earth.
His words tempted Armida and the other two. After thinking for a while, they nodded. "Fine! Deal! "
