After Xu Dan brushed Skylar off, Liva cautiously raised her head. She released her grip, fiddling with the buttons of her small suit as she asked, "Are you really going to release Warcraft so soon?"
King of Fighters already dominated the market. In her opinion, the company should focus on operations to maximize profits!
Releasing a new game at this time was just shooting themselves in the foot! They'd only eaten a small piece of the King of Fighters cake, and there was still a huge portion left!
However, Xu Dan's way of thinking was completely different from everyone else's.
They came to this company for various reasons – some to make money, others to learn technology – but Xu Dan's main goal was to earn points!
Financial gains had become secondary.
With absolute market dominance, he wasn't worried about money!
What he lacked was points!
Therefore, it was necessary to release Warcraft as soon as possible. King of Fighters was currently at its peak, but there were always some people who weren't "addicted" to fighting games, so their gaming time wasn't that long. There were few players who would stay up all night, grinding away at the game.
In this way, his points were increasing, although quickly, it wasn't fast enough! It needed to be even faster!
Ambition was always insatiable, like the universe itself, infinitely expanding!
Xu Dan slapped Liva's beautiful behind, producing a loud sound, "Slap!~"
The next day.
On the Nangji Game Company's official website, countless pairs of eyes were focused on the icon next to the solitary King of Fighters image!
Because the spokesperson for Nangji Game Company, the goddess Liva, had already announced that the company's new game would be launched worldwide simultaneously at noon today!
The time was now eleven fifty-nine. Some hardcore gamers already had their mouses hovering over the mysterious blank space next to King of Fighters!
It was easy to predict that as soon as Warcraft went live, they would immediately click and download it!
Even though Nangji Game Company hadn't revealed the gameplay yet, only releasing promotional posters and videos, this didn't affect the gamers' trust in the company at all!
Would such a conscientious game company make a bad game?
Due to time zone differences, many players' clocks had already passed midnight, but the new game hadn't refreshed. Still, they didn't give up and continued to wait!
It was like picking up your girlfriend at the airport; you wouldn't go home until you got her!
Beep!!
When the countdown on the official website hit zero, nobody bothered to look at the time in the bottom right corner of their screens. Almost in unison, they all lifted their mouses and clicked on the icon that hadn't yet loaded!
That's right, they were already eager to download the game even before the game icon had finished loading!
It was just downloading a game, but the gamers were acting like they were entering a lottery or snatching red envelopes!
Everyone wanted to be the first to play this new game!
However, the result was…
The official website crashed!
The massive traffic overloaded Nangji Game Company's servers, turning the official website into a mosaic of pixels!
In front of his computer, Tony Stark scratched his chin in frustration. He was also a fan of Nangji Game Company.
It was a bit embarrassing, really. He was already an adult, and a billionaire at that. He shouldn't be wasting his life on such virtual products!
But the fact remained: ever since he first got into King of Fighters, he'd bought an entire row of arcade machines for his villa!
All of them were for playing King of Fighters!
Later, when King of Fighters released on PC, he had Jarvis set up an emulator for him. He wanted to hone his fighting skills while gaming!
He swore that even as a child, he'd never focused so much on a single game!
Because all the games he'd encountered back then, he could breeze through them!
So he lost interest in them. He never expected that at the age of thirty, he'd be completely absorbed by a game again!
He even wanted to buy the game company!
He'd been waiting for this new title until he was practically wilting!
But now, the damn official website wasn't even crashing!
"Jarvis, cut off everyone else's information, let me download first!"
"Alright, sir!"
Jarvis began to work on the network, and soon put Tony's computer in the official website's download queue.
In a super-rich person's villa, the internet speed was definitely not bad. Warcraft's size wasn't large either, and he downloaded the game in less than a minute!
"Haha, perfect! Everyone else is probably still stuck in front of their computers, and I've already started playing!"
As he spoke, the guy, Tony, opened the game.
Nangji Game Company's style was always 'download and play'!
Skip the unpacking time, skip the installation time!
A truly conscientious black technology company!
This is even more conscientious than his Stark Industries!
"Wow!! This isn't like King of Fighters at all. Looks like they've really changed the style this time!"
Tony clicked on "Start Game".
"Hmm?! This is...is this a fantasy movie?"
Tony finished watching the opening animation and entered the beginner tutorial.
"My god! Am I supposed to play God?"
"To be precise, it's to let you experience being a commander, sir."
"I know, Jarvis, can't you tell that's a hyperbolic exclamation?"
"Yes, I know, sir."
"Damn it, then why are you still correcting me?"
"..."
Tony was playing the tutorial, the easiest level.
He had been a genius since childhood, and he was never sloppy when it came to playing games.
Halfway through the tutorial, he already felt bored. He felt he understood everything about the game, and even looking at the beginner's guides was as annoying as a nagging mother!
So, he forcibly exited the beginner's tutorial.
On the interface that Xu Dan had specifically adjusted, there was a single-player game option and a multiplayer game option.
Single-player was naturally the offline version.
And multiplayer was for online battles!
"What's the point of single-player? Let's go straight to battle!"
Tony Stark confidently pressed the multiplayer game option.
In theory, since he had taken a shortcut and was the first player to download the game, it should have been difficult to match with other players at this time!
However, when he pressed start, he matched an opponent in almost 0.1 seconds and quickly officially entered the game map!
Looking at the scene in the official game, Tony was slightly surprised. Even after having seen the map in the tutorial, he was still surprised looking at the official version!
He used to be in the arms industry and had seen many armies and factions.
He'd always considered those people to be brutes and ruffians!
But now, looking at the 'soldiers' under his command, each one obeyed his orders perfectly!
A feeling of power surged through him!
That's probably how those generals usually commanded their soldiers!
This feeling was really great!
