"Impressive."
"5173 really has some skills."
Gu Yongqiang frowned.
Gu Yongqiang might have met a powerful opponent, but he will not admit defeat so easily.
Gu Yongqiang had studied abroad since he was a child, invested in venture capital, and managed Sohu for the past few years. He is very capable. Even if 5173 had played a good card, Gu Yongqiang is still thinking of ways to solve the problem. "Manager Cai, can we create this Guild System?"
"Yes."
Cai Zongjian nodded. "From a technical point of view, this Guild System is not difficult. We can even create it ourselves, let alone Sohu. But … "
"But what?"
"The Guild System is not hard to create. The hard part is the soft technology. I finally understand why 5173 spent so much money to buy soft advertisements. It is to build a good relationship with the major Guilds. They have already built a good relationship with the major Guilds. It is too late for us to enter now. "
"It is too late, but our influence is stronger than 5173."
Cai Zongjian realized what Gu Yongqiang said.
17173 was acquired by Sohu. Although 17173 can use its own brand, Sohu has Sohu's backing.
But 17173 is backed by Sohu, and it can use Sohu's name.
Since 5173 can create one of the top 100 Guilds, why can't they do the same?
Also, if they use Sohu's brand, it will be more attractive than 5173.
"Manager Gu, you are right. I will start planning this event immediately."
"Okay. Go and do your work. Oh, how long will it take for this plan to be launched? "
"One week at most. No, I can create it in three days."
"Okay. We will wait for three days."
Although they are slower than 5173, the competition is not over.
However, the competition on the internet wasn't something that happened overnight. Whoever had the last laugh would be the winner.
Gu Yongqiang has plenty of time to fight with 5173.
… …
[Ninth City's representative, Miracle.]
[Korea's most popular online game, Miracle.]
[Miracle's screenshots of the game. It's breathtaking.]
What's the most popular game in recent times?
It is Legend of Mir.
Legend really lived up to his name. He had completed a legend.
What about after Legend of Mir?
Many people are looking at Miracle of Mir.
Whether it was in his previous life or now, the appearance of a miracle was always so amazing.
The Ninth City had only released a little bit of information, and countless players had been captured by Miracle.
"Holy sh * t, this game's graphics are too beautiful."
"What a beautiful battle. It's like a dream."
"It's not just a little bit more than that."
"Alright, I'll wait for Miracle's closed beta."
Although they didn't know if Miracle was fun or not, the public still valued appearance.
Just the image alone was enough to attract them, let alone going in to experience it.
However, it was not so easy to experience it.
Unlike other games, Miracle had added something called an activation code in the closed beta.
In order to qualify for the closed beta, one must first obtain the activation code.
Only by obtaining the activation code would the door to Miracle Mu open to you.
"Holy shit, brothers, what's an activation code?"
"Yeah, I also want to ask, what is an activation code?"
"The activation code. It's the chicken fire code."
"What's Chicken Fire Code?"
"I want to know too."
"Your sister …"
Though the activation code had been around for a long time, the public was still unfamiliar with it.
However, the activation code was not a new product, so many gamers knew about it.
"Hehe, everyone, let me explain to you what the activation code is."
"The activation code is a string of codes that is equivalent to the key to enter the game. Once you obtain the code, enter the code into the activation box during registration, and you'll be able to activate the game. "
"Yes, yes, yes. I bought a legitimate antivirus software, and it has a string of activation codes. I reckon that the activation code for Miracle is the same as the one for the antivirus software. "
"Is it the same as the activation code for a standalone game?"
"The principle is the same, but the code is different. To play Miracle, you have to obtain the activation code. "
After the explanation, many of the gamers knew what the activation code was.
However, there was a problem.
How did one obtain the activation code?
It was simple. 5173 had it.
Yes, the various large guilds over there have come to advertise.
[King's Battle Team has a large number of activation codes for Miracle. Those who want the activation codes, please join the King's Guild.]
[Eternal Kingdom is one of the largest Guilds in the country. Those who want the activation codes, please hurry.]
[Prague is recruiting members. The activation codes are in our hands. Come quickly.]
When they discovered that 5173 was distributing the activation codes to the large Guilds, the large Guilds were surprised and delighted.
It was indeed an awesome website. Not only did it organize the activities of the top 100 Guilds, but it also provided the benefits of the activation codes.
Now that they had the activation code, it would be much easier for them to recruit people.
Of course, it wasn't just them. Some of the smaller guilds also saw the activity of 5173 distributing the activation codes.
The activation codes weren't only distributed to the large Guilds. Normal Guilds could also obtain the activation codes if they completed the corresponding missions.
As a result, countless Guilds that had originally been uninterested in the Top 100 Guilds' rankings suddenly became excited.
For the activation codes, they mobilized all their members to participate in the mission promotion of 5173.
To obtain the activation codes, some Guilds that weren't part of 5173 joined in.
5173, which originally had 5,000 Guilds, increased to 9,000 Guilds in less than a day.
It was only one step away from having 10,000 Guilds.
Though there were many idle Guilds or even Guilds that were there to make up the numbers, it didn't matter.
With so many guilds surging in like a swarm of bees, 5173's traffic exploded.
Of course, the activation codes weren't only distributed to the Guilds.
They were also distributed to individuals.
As long as individuals completed certain missions or were lucky enough to obtain the activation codes, they could also obtain the activation codes.
As long as a gamer entered 5173, he or she would have a chance to obtain a miraculous activation code.
Though there was a probability of obtaining the activation codes, it wasn't easy to obtain the activation codes.
There were so many players, and everyone wanted an activation code. It was really difficult to give everyone an activation code.
Moreover, the mission wasn't something that could be completed in a day or two.
Hence, countless gamers thought of other ways to obtain the activation codes.
[Ah, ah, ah, it's too difficult to complete the mission. Gosh, I'll spend 30 dollars. Who can sell me an activation code?]
As a matter of fact, for some players who had extra cash, they wanted to use their money to buy an activation code.
It was a pity that 30 dollars was too little.
After this gamer offered 30 dollars, he was immediately looked down upon by others.
"30 dollars. Hehe, I can't believe you said that. I'll pay 50 dollars. Who has it? Sell it to me."
"Is 50 dollars enough? I'll pay 100 dollars. Brothers who have the activation codes, sell it to me."
"What's 100? I'll pay 200 dollars. I'll buy 10. 5173's money has been transferred. I'm just waiting for your activation codes."
Alright.
Accidentally, 5173 added another business of selling activation codes.
As for the 5,173 people selling the activation codes, Chen Yu did not stop them.
This was a personal business, not 5173's official business. He didn't have the power to stop it, nor did he want to stop it.
The game was a business. It was normal for people to make monetary transactions.
On the contrary, it would be abnormal if there were no monetary transactions.
Regardless of whether they sold it for money or not, Miracle Mu hadn't been in closed beta yet. Just by throwing out the activation codes, it was already extremely popular.
Miracle. Would it really be like its name, creating miracles?
It hadn't been in closed beta yet. The answer couldn't be revealed.
