    The next day.


    Sunday.


    Zheng Lin didn’t step out of the house all day.


    He spent the entire day in the living room ying "Warfire" with Tang Qing.


    Zheng Lin wasn’t really a gaming fanatic and didn’t have much interest in games; he found them boring and childish. However, he was drawn to the rich and diverse gamey of "Warfire".


    "Tang Qing, what were the game developers thinking? It’s so fun, especially the behind-the-scenesputer technology. The graphics, the sound effects, it’s just too perfect. I can assure you, this game will undoubtedly be the highest-grossing game of next year, without question," Zheng Lin said withplete certainty.


    He didn’t just pull this out of thin air.


    It was evident from his own experience. He had just been blinded by a group of people wielding golden AKs, then killed by a guy in golden armor brandishing a samurai sword that emitted a purple aura. This left him rather indignant.


    So, he opened up the in-game mall.


    It felt like discovering a new world.


    Without a doubt, upon seeing the most expensive golden dragon robe costing ten thousand yuan, the wealthy Zheng Lin didn’t care if it fit the time setting or not; he gritted his teeth and purchased it immediately. Then, he couldn’t stop. He and Tang Qing started a survival map.


    An entire afternoon.


    Just to arm himself to the teeth.


    Zheng Lin spent nearly fifty thousand yuan, which was legit RMB, and it all went into fancy gears. Fortunately, the game was well bnced. The items were more for show, with some special effects, or a slight increase in uracy and stability for some weapons.


    It wasn’t game-breaking or anything like pushing a map.


    "Perhaps," Tang Qing said nonchntly.


    "Not perhaps, it’s a fact. Although I don’t usually y games, it doesn’t mean I have no insight. This game, it’s definitely going to take off, and in a big way," Zheng Lin said with a look of awe.


    Tang Qing found that amusingly ironic.


    Zheng Lin turned out to be a gear fanatic.


    Once you captured his interest, he didn’t care about the cost.


    "Warfire"unched yesterday morning at hismand, and by four-thirty that afternoon, the number of registered users exceeded half a million. And it was spreading like wildfire due to word of mouth, thanks to the game’s impressive quality.


    It had the graphics and performance speed of a standalone gamebined with the diverse gamey of an online game. These sorts of yers don’t have high demands. So long as the graphics were good, the game bnce rational, and it didn’t overheat theirputers, people would be interested.


    And.


    "Warfire" had it all.


    Thus.


    It became an undeniable hit.


    Even those who didn’t y shooting games couldn’t resist ying a couple of matches, and then they couldn’t stop.


    yers actively promoted the game, forming teams to recruit others.


    Within just a day, the item shop of "Warfire" generated close to ten million yuan in profits for the operatingpany. Not only the local yers but also foreigners enjoyed "skins".


    Each country’s store had different items, such as clothes, crafted based on the country’s history, culture, and customs. There were shy symbolic knife props. For instance, in the Huaxia area, the most expensive item was Zheng Lin’s golden dragon robe.


    The golden shimmer.


    The moving dragon.


    The special effects that shed across the entire body from time to time.


    It was reminiscent of "Miracle", but not as exaggerated.


    Essentially, it was all for show.


    That was the definition of an item shop prop.


    "Argh... killed again. They actually ganged up on me. I need backup. Time for some payback. I’ve remembered their names. They’re on for a match next time," roared Zheng Lin, who was just sneakily killed, preparing to rally his friends for a counterstrike.

    Tang Qing was left speechless at his reaction.


    Without uttering a word, he merely observed the game data on the side.


    The numbers for downloads, registered users, and online yers were expanding at an explosive pace, with hundreds of increases every second. All these figures were real and visible to all yers. Tang Qing could also see the sales information of the in-game shop items in one corner. Few people had ess to that. It was a targeted push by themand room.


    The sales figures had initiated a snowball effect.


    Each minute, it was increasing by tens of thousands of yuan.


    Was that a lot?


    Not really.


    Remember that the promotional focus was on virtually all major game websites andmunities worldwide, including purchased ad slots and ’illegal pop-ups’ achieved through technological means.


    It had an incredibly broad reach.


    Even before all the global gamepanies could react, it had already amassed extensive influence.


    Tang Qing predicted every gamingpany worldwide was hosting a meeting right now.


    Discussing the gamepany that was bound to be a dominant force.


    And indeed, as he thought.


    The sudden appearance of "Warfire" shocked many major gamepanies worldwide. They rushed to analyze this game, but the conclusion was that they couldn’t replicate it. The game engine was a massive barrier.


    This was a whole new game engine, coupled with code algorithms, demonstrating incredibly highpression and execution efficiency. Whether it was weapons, maps, backgrounds, nts, or anything else, it functioned with extreme efficiency.


    Like a de of grass being swayed by the wind.


    While it isn’t difficult for them to realize this effect, hundreds of des of grass swaying in the wind would cause an averageputer to overload when the background is scaled up. However, it seems that the game in front of them could handle it with ease.


    It was impossible to copy the game.


    Moreover, it would take at least a year to make even a simplified version of this game, and the final product would be over thirty gigabytes. Even for the high-endputers of this era, it would be very challenging to run such a game. Isn’t this ridiculous?


    Therefore, every game developmentpany turned their attention to this new and emerging gamepany.


    Meanwhile.


    Facing the universally acimed "Warfire", they received their first investment application, nearly ten requests for technical cooperation and development, and dozens of requests to purchase the game engine and optimization algorithm.


    Although it had only been a day.


    That didn’t stop professionals from assessing its value.


    ...


    United States.


    New York.


    In an office building in Midtown Manhattan Business District.


    On the fifty-first floor.


    This was the base of the ’ERV’ gamepany, the development and operationpany of "Warfire".


    As the saying goes: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.


    The ’Inte Industry Alliance n’ aims to break through from the inside, root in the local area, and then expand worldwide with the advantages and protection of that country. Hence, there was no distinctive ’Huaxia’ style.


    They chose a name corresponding to the country they are in, rendering it easier to operate in that country.


    Winters.


    A manager at IDG’s Inte Investment Department.


    IDG.


    International Data Group of the United States.


    Thergest tech publishing, research, event, and investmentpany in the world, and they were very interested in information technology. After theunch of "Warfire", their tech department concluded that thispany had immense potential.


    So.


    He hurried over.


    To make sure he wasn’t beaten by others.


    As an industry insider, he knew how fast information spreads and how crazy these money-smelling funds can be.


    Upon reaching the floor and encountering the nourishing environment of ’ERV’, Winters quickly walked in. After multiple levels of notification, he finally met the owner of thepany, an American white soldier.


    "Hello, our IDG is interested in investing in yourpany."


    Without beating around the bush, Winters stated his intention. If others requested financing, investors could raise their tails high and act arrogantly. However, this was a proactive investment offer, so they needed to lower their stance.


    "Sorry, Mr. Winters, our ERV currently does not need financing. We have sufficient funds and are operating well," the soldier responded with a smile. As a trained soldier, his social skills were top-notch.


    "Ten million dors for 20% of the shares. I believe that with financing from IDG, yourpany can achieve a much greater development. Please remember, seeking an investmentpany isn’t just about finding funds — it’s also about finding the right channels.


    This is also why many well-funded enterprises still ept financing. They can gainrger development space through the channels of the investmentpany. As long as you ept our investment, our myriad rtionships and cooperative partners can facilitate many things," said Winters, believing that the soldier didn’t understand the deeper meaning behind financing, so he gave a brief exnation.


    Unfortunately.


    Still, the soldier had no interest.


    "Mr. Winters, I’m not particrly interested in financing, nor do I want to divest my shares. Our ’Warfire’ doesn’t need to produce CDs, doesn’t need offline sales channels, doesn’t need technical support, nor does it need TV, game consoles, or other terminal tforms. It just requires aputer. Therefore, your reasoning is hard to convince me."


    Winters was a little frustrated.


    When the other party is not interested in even publishing channels and tforms, one indeed cannot do anything about that. This kind of negotiation is the most tiring; not having what the other party needs is the most terrifying in the investment field.


    "Then, would we be able to purchase your packaging and optimization algorithms?" Winters was not interested in the game engine. IDG is not a gamepany, but apany oriented towards investment and application inputer technology.


    Still, the soldier shook his head.


    Just as he was about to give up.


    The soldier suddenly said, "However, we can provide optimization services."


    "Optimization services?" Winters asked, puzzled.


    "Yes, we can undertake various optimization services and cooperate with IDG. I believe with IDG’s channels and capabilities, we should be able to make a lot of money." The soldier said calmly.


    What themand room values are IDG’s channels, especially apany called ISIS Technology, which is a low-keypany wholly-owned by IDG that specializes in providing information technology services to the U.S. military.


    Thispany has beenmitted torge-scale weapon simtion calction evaluation, various warship data processing software, and hardware instruction set optimization development, all of which have high requirements for algorithms and software.


    In recent years, with the explosive growth of Inte ess devices, it has be increasingly difficult to achieveprehensive surveince. Looking at the ever-increasing number of servers in the machine room, finally, a project named ’elerate Network Data Transmission, Storage, and Analysis Technology’ was established.


    The Command Room’s intention was to seize this opportunity.


    To prate the circle of U.S. Defense Computer Technology contractors.


    ISIS Company.


    Happens to have the qualification to rmend.
