Extraordinary Genius

Chapter 1047 鈥?Reported on the news

Morning. Feng Yu felt his whole body was aching as he stretches himself.

It鈥檚 been a while since Feng Yu sat down in front of a PC for six to seven hours. He turns to Wen Dongjun and saw his eyes are all red.

鈥淓h, Dongjun, are you hungry?鈥?

鈥淵es. Go and get breakfast and help me buy a portion. I need to kill these few monsters!鈥?

Feng Yu: 鈥?.....鈥?Do you need to be so hardworking?

It鈥檚 the school holidays, and Li Na had returned to the village. Only Feng Yu and Wen Dongjun remained in the apartment. Feng Yu is not good at cooking, and Wen Dongjun... does not even know how to cook porridge!

More than 1.33 million players were online at the same time yesterday, and this is above Feng Yu鈥檚 expectation. Today, the number of players online should exceed 2 million.

The high number of players will put tremendous stress on the servers, and luckily Feng Yu had reminded Ding Lei to prepare for this.

Some players from the older servers will be transferred to the new server to balance the number of players in each server.

There are more players than monsters outside of the starting zone. The moment the chickens, deer, etc. spawn, they will be killed immediately!action

But Feng Yu knows the number of players online will drop after the players have to buy game-time. Some players will stop playing as they are not willing to spend money.

But most of the players are not willing to give up playing Legend of Mir. This game is the most popular online game, and the game鈥檚 soundtrack, a variety of skills, different maps, interesting quests, etc. is different from other games.

In the internet cafes, nine out of ten people are playing Legend of Mir.

Of course, there are still people who play other games like Starcraft, Diablo, Red Alert, etc.

The players realized that the games they played in the past were no longer interesting or fun. Most of their friends had switched to Legend of Mir, and only a handful are still playing the old games.

At noon, the number of online players reached 1.76 million, and Feng Yu was relieved. If the servers crash on the first day, the players will lose confidence in this game.

This period is for Legend of Mir to attract more players.

......

鈥淏oss, the online players in South Korea had reach 160,000. This is the best result for online games! In Japan, the online players exceeded 410,000, and more than 970,000 players are online in the US. The registered players in the US had exceeded 1 million! Also, in England...鈥?Kameda Masao called Feng Yu to report on the number of players around the world.

Feng Yu smiled. Aggressive marketing is still useful, and this result is better than Feng Yu鈥檚 previous life.

Wind and Rain Games had found more distributors in this life, and with the advertising, one-month Public Beta and global servers going live at the same time attracted lots of players.

Legend of Mir is also more fun than the Legend of Mir in Feng Yu鈥檚 previous life. There are almost no bugs in this version, and this is one of the reasons why people love this game.

Many people had played online games before, but none of those games are as fun as Legend of Mir. The map is vast, a wide variety of skills, more monsters, weapons, items, etc. and this game have interesting background stories for the characters. The soundtracks of the game are also nice, and celebrities were hired to endorse this game.

鈥淥h Boss, what is the stats in China? How many players are online at the same time, and how many players had registered?鈥?

鈥淎t the peak, we have 1.92 million players, and there are 2.37 million registered players.鈥?Feng Yu knows this figure will increase slowly after the initial phase.

Kameda Masao was surprised. Why did the Chinese love this game so much? The number of Chinese players is two-thirds of the whole of Asia!

This is normal because of China鈥檚 high population. Many people said the Chinese are poor, and there are not many PC users in China. But this because of the number of people in China. If you look at PC sales for China, China is the biggest spender on PCs in the world!

鈥淏oss, we succeed! We are going to have more than 10 million players worldwide at the same time. We are going to create history!鈥?Kameda Masao exclaimed.

10 million players worldwide playing at the same time? This target is too low...

In Feng Yu鈥檚 previous life, more than 30 million players are playing Legend of Mir at the same time in China during the game鈥檚 peak.

At that time, nine out of ten customers in internet caf茅s are playing Legend of Mir, and the remaining one customer will be playing Counterstrike or chatting online. Basically, no one is playing other games.

At that time, an in-game weapon of Legend of Mir can be sold for almost 100,000 RMB, and the account of a top player was sold for 1 million RMB to a tycoon!

These are all rumors, and Feng Yu does not know if the 1 million RMB account is real. But Feng Yu knows some in-game items are being sold for more than 10,000 RMB.

Most of the internet cafes at that time made money because of this game. Feng Yu also heard stories of people finding girlfriends in the game, and some players even fought because of what happened in the game!

However, Legend of Mir is not very popular outside of China, and only a few million overseas players played.

In this life, this game is more popular than Feng Yu鈥檚 previous life. Feng Yu鈥檚 goal is to have more than 50 million players worldwide online at the same time!

......

That night, Ding Lei called Feng Yu. 鈥淢anager Feng, your connections are too powerful, and our game is going to be more popular now!鈥?

鈥淗ahaha... you must take note not to let the number of players exceed the maximum load of the servers. If the players discovered they cannot log in to the game, they would lose interest. Also, you must monitor the game鈥檚 data closely and inform Wind and Rain Games immediately if anything goes wrong. We must not allow anyone to a mod or use external programs to alter the game.鈥?

They chatted for a while before Feng Yu hangs up. He was watching the news on TV when Ding Lei called. The evening news had reported about Legend of Mir.

The news reported that this game is developed by a Game company in China and is popular around the world. More than 2 million players in China had registered accounts in this game, and over 1.9 million Chinese players were online at the same time. This showed that China鈥檚 internet is one of the best in the world, and Chinese companies are venturing out of China.

After this news was reported, Feng Yu knows more people will be curious about this game. He decided to use another 100,000 USD on promotion, and Legend of Mir will be the most popular game in history!
