How many players were there in the entire Heavenly State? They were all at least in the millions! Just now, the number of online players in Dream Dota League had already reached 800,000, and there were still countless people queuing outside. If all of them were to be placed in one server …
Not to mention whether the server could fit in all of them, the key was the cost.
Even if the current server cost 500,000 per unit, how much would 40 servers cost? 20 million.
Yet, Hong Dali asked for 200 million …
But very obviously, Hong Dali didn't think there was any problem with this. He grinned and replied, "Wrong, it's the whole world."
As expected, squandering was about structure! Look at his structure, asking for 160 million servers to fit in all the players in the world — but thinking about it, it was quite cool …
"OK, I support it!" Tang Muxin didn't dare to oppose Hong Dali's squandering anymore. Squandering was really a skill. Hong Dali could earn money by squandering, but she could only lose money by squandering. She really couldn't deny this …
Just as everyone was laughing and talking up to this point, suddenly, a lackey hurriedly ran in and said, "Young Master, there are many reporters outside saying that they want to interview us about Dream Dota League's virtual reality connection. Do you want to meet them?"
Once they heard the lackey say that, everyone's gaze instantly focused on Hong Dali.
This was a great opportunity for publicity. If he accepted the interview and held a press conference, there was no doubt about the publicity effect!
But Young Master's character of being afraid of trouble the most …
As expected, Hong Dali decisively shook his head and said, "No, I'm very busy. How would I have the time to deal with reporters?" Saying so, he turned his head and said to that lackey, "Tell them that before 2114, I already have no free time."
"Pfft!" Once they heard Hong Dali's words, the surrounding people instantly couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"O … OK." The male lackey's forehead was full of sweat as he went out …
"Oh right, Xinxin, I heard that you seemed to have been bullied by that Spiritual Sword previously?" Hong Dali suddenly asked, "How did they bully you? Did they attack you in all aspects? "
Previously, Tang Muxin helped Hong Dali take care of Dream Dota, and Spiritual Sword's data in all aspects had always been firmly above Dream Dota. Thus, it was considered normal for Hong Dali to ask Tang Muxin if she was bullied — if he didn't even care about this, what was the point of living in the world?
"Yes." Hearing Hong Dali mention this, Tang Muxin felt very wronged. She pouted and said, "Their methods are really impressive. First, they promoted it in a low-key manner. Then, they advertised it all over the place. They announced that it was free of charge, hyped up the price of the equipment, doubled the drop rate of the equipment, and live-streamed the popularity data. Then, they activated the Tieba forum to go against us. We couldn't even retaliate."
"Oh, I see." Hong Dali didn't mind at all. He was still grinning. "Then, we'll bully them back one by one, hehe."
"Really?!" Tang Muxin exclaimed. "Dali, aren't you always carefree? Are you really willing to help me vent my anger? "
"I'm heartless." Hong Dali asked curiously, "But I'm not a fool. How can I pretend not to see my future wife being bullied?"
"Dali, you're the best!" The little lass was so touched that she leaned over and kissed Hong Dali on the cheek. "I love you so much!"
Hong Dali clenched his fists and shouted, "I love myself too!"
Li Nianwei covered her mouth and laughed. "Young Master's protective personality is the most lovable."
Everyone laughed and fooled around for a while. Hong Dali snapped his fingers and said, "Let's go to the laboratory on the fourth floor to take a look!"
…
Outside the ninth floor of Chenhui Building.
"Dear viewers and friends, I'm a reporter from Play Together website. According to the most reliable information, Young Master Hong Dali is inside now." A female reporter held a microphone and stood in front of the ninth floor's door. A staff member carrying a camera was furiously snapping away. That reporter continued, "I wonder if Young Master will have the time to get close to us? Will we be able to get the latest news about Dream Dota League? Everyone, please wait and see. "
After a while, the male lackey who went in to report previously came out, sweating profusely. All the reporters hurriedly surrounded him. The Play Together reporter loudly asked, "Mr. Li Yang, may I know if Young Master is free now?"
"Our Young Master said …" Li Yang was sweating profusely. "There's no schedule before 2114 …"
"So busy!" All the reporters exclaimed. The Play Together female reporter was so shocked that she almost dropped the microphone in her hand. "Mr. Li Yang, Young Master really said so? There's no schedule before 2114? It's already been a hundred years! "
"That's right!" Li Yang also expressed that he was in a difficult position. "Since Young Master said so, I can't do anything about it!" Saying so, he hurriedly ran back.
After Li Yang left, all the reporters directly exploded —
"God, I know that Young Master is busy, but he shouldn't be this busy, right?" "Could it be that Young Master is just brushing us off?" "No, no, Young Master has obtained the title of the National Scientist and the People's Livelihood. How could such a person possibly brush us off?" "It's possible, it's possible. Usually, those who can do research are very busy. It's normal that Young Master doesn't have the time." "That's right. Why don't we do some research and see what questions we can ask Young Master when he comes out later. Young Master won't stay here forever, right?" "That makes sense. Then, what should we ask?"
At this moment, the Play Together female reporter thought for a while and said, "Why don't we ask if this game will charge fees? At least, the officials haven't given a clear answer yet. En, also, will there be any equipment that can be dropped in this game? Players should be concerned about this. "
"I think that's fine. That's good. Let's ask this later!"
"OK, OK, we'll wait for Young Master to come out and ask this question. This way, we'll be able to answer to him when we go back."
As they spoke, a reporter with sharp ears anxiously said, "Everyone, stop talking. There are footsteps. Young Master might be coming out!"
Instantly, the entire hall was silent.
Not long after, the door to the ninth floor opened. Hong Dali, Tang Muxin, and the nine lackeys walked out in a grandiose manner. Upon seeing these reporters, Hong Dali was instantly stunned for a while. He curiously asked, "You guys haven't left yet? You've been waiting for me? "
If he didn't show his sincerity now, when would he?!
The Play Together female reporter hurriedly said, "Young Master, we know that you will definitely be very busy because of your research. Therefore, we have been waiting here for you and didn't dare to disturb you. We have a few small questions. We hope that Young Master will answer them. "
"Oh, is that so …" Hong Dali looked at the expectant faces of the reporters. Finally, he reluctantly nodded. "Alright, hurry up and ask. My time is very tight …"
"Of course, of course!" The Play Together female reporter hurriedly said, "Young Master, the popularity of Dream Dota is currently rising rapidly. What do you think about the fees in the future?"
"Fees? What fees? "Hong Dali curiously asked." I didn't say there's going to be fees. "
"Ah?" Once Hong Dali said this, all the reporters simultaneously wrote down — Dream Dota, forever free of charge.
The Play Together female reporter asked again, "Then, is there any equipment that can be dropped in this game, the kind that can be sold for money? Or rather, are there any props that will be sold in the future? "
"That, there are no props that require fees." Hong Dali touched his chin. "Forever free of charge. Furthermore, when players reach the Bronze level, they can be rewarded with 8,000 gold coins to buy heroes or nice skins. When they reach the Silver level, they can be rewarded with 100 yuan, 1,000 for the Gold level, 10,000 for the Platinum level, 100,000 for the Diamond level, and the highest King level, one million. They can be redeemed online. "
This time, all the reporters were astonished!
Not only were props not sold, but when they reached a certain level in the game, they could even earn money!
The Play Together female reporter curiously asked, "Then, Young Master, how do you plan to earn money from this game?"
"Profit? I didn't say anything about profit. "Hong Dali curiously said," I'm a prodigal, I only care about spending money, not about earning money! "
Once he said this, all the reporters present knelt down.
…
Shanghai Tianhai City, in an ordinary two-story building.
"Mr. Shiroishi, the Nation has already expressed their support for Hong Dali. What should I do now? What should I do? You have to give me an explanation, right? " Sun Yuanzhou angrily paced around the room. "Previously, I was tricked by you to suppress Hong Weiguo. This time, I'm like a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river, I can't even protect myself! What should I do with my losses? What should I do? " Sun Yuanzhou looked extremely anxious, but the faint trace of a smile at the corner of his mouth disappeared shortly after...
Facing Sun Yuanzhou's roar, Shiroishi Kazuma, who had always been confident and had a card up his sleeve, frowned tightly.
He had calculated and calculated all kinds of situations that could happen, but no matter what, he'd never thought that Hong Dali would actually do something like this! He knew that Hong Dali's technology was very powerful, and he'd gone to the battle scene of Dream Dota at the West Fourth Loop. Originally, no matter how powerful a Holographic Projection was, there was still a limit to it. At most, it could only attract a portion of curious players to enter the game to experience it.
It might increase the number of people online to 400,000 or even 500,000, but it definitely couldn't be higher!
But now, it was completely different.
The Dream Dota now could be said to have completely gained the upper hand!
Although the current popularity wasn't as high as that of Spiritual Sword, it was probably only a matter of time before it surpassed Spiritual Sword. After all, there was definitely an intrinsic difference between a project supported by the Nation and something that a businessman created himself.
Just the direction of public opinion alone could reach an exaggerated level!
Combining sports and online gaming, with how much emphasis the world placed on sports, once this news was released, it would rapidly spread throughout the entire Heavenly State, and even the world!
Alas, just as Shiroishi Kazuma was thinking up to this point, Qian Youjin suddenly ran in and loudly shouted, "Mr. Shi, bad … bad news! The latest news from Dream Dota is out! "
