Shanda was not an online game company at the beginning, but a virtual community. "Heaven Returns to Valley" was launched by Shanda in November 1999.
Due to the bursting of the dot-com bubble, the Internet entered a global trough. Shanda decided to transform and develop online games. But the financier "China.com" disagreed. This directly led to the "amicable" breakup between China.com and Chen Moumou. Chen Moumou was left with US$300,000 based on his shares, and Chen Moumou also took back control of the company and was able to continue operating "Legend".
Although it is said that what is left is 300,000 US dollars, in fact, the cash on the books is less than 100,000 US dollars, and the rest are fixed assets and intangible assets. At that time, after Shanda paid the down payment to the Korean company, the remaining money was only enough to pay its employees for two months. In order to save expenses, Shanda conducted a major layoff. After this layoff, there are only more than 20 people left in the company.
The team of more than 20 people had never been exposed to online games. Even the localization of the "Legend" game had to be completed by South Korea. It can be imagined how fragile the domestic "Legend" was at that time and did not have any technology at all. Even the understanding of the game is not deep enough for the players.
There was another thing that Chen Tianyu found very interesting, which was Chen Moumou¡¯s deception.
At that time, Shanda had no extra money to purchase equipment, so Chen Moumou took the contract signed with actoz and started to "empty money".
Chen Moumou found server manufacturers such as Inspur and Dell, told them that he wanted to run such a large game, and applied for a trial machine for three months. Then he went to the telecom operator with the server order and said that if the server was available, it would definitely require a large bandwidth. . . . . .
When Chen Tianyu saw this, he suddenly felt that the title of "big liar" should not belong to Zhao Benshan, but Chen Moumou deserved it.
It is precisely because "Legend" is Shanda's last bet. If it loses, there is no possibility of a comeback, so it is particularly important. After hearing the report, several company executives came to the computer to find out.
Hearing what Chen Tianyu said, everyone's heads were sweating.
The announced vulnerability of the Prison Dagger has caused such a huge controversy. If those three more vulnerabilities are announced, "Legend" will really die.
gm001: We must first ensure the authenticity of the bug, and then decide the reward according to the severity. You can also mention what reward you want.
"We need to confirm the authenticity of the bug first. What if we tell them and the reward is not given?" Xu Xing said dissatisfied after seeing it.
Chen Tianyu shrugged and said nonchalantly: "It's okay. Let's tell them a small bug first and see how they react."
Tianyu Studio: The first bug is. . . . . . .
Chen Tianyu told gm001 about the bug of randomly transferring packages to generate money.
Tianyu Studio: The first bug is this process. You can verify it first.
gm001: Okay, please.
"Tianyu, what reward are you going to ask for?" Dong Xiaoning looked at Chen Tianyu and asked.
Chen Tianyu picked up a can of Coke, leaned lazily on his seat and said, "I haven't thought about it. We have several special rings now, but the only one missing is the invisibility ring. Although the ring will not be valuable in the future, it is As far as we're concerned, it's still quite useful now. But I want the teleportation ring more, that ring is more practical."
"Tianyu, I remember you said that after wearing a ring, you will only lose magic when you are beaten. Once the magic is gone, you will not start losing blood, right?" Xu Xing asked.
Chen Tianyu took a sip of Coke, nodded and said, "Yes, that's called a protective ring."
"Yes, yes, a protective ring. Aren't you going to want that ring?"
"No preparation, I would rather have an invisibility ring or memory ring than a protection ring."
"Why?" Dong Xiaoning and Xu Xing asked in unison after hearing Chen Tianyu's answer.
The protective ring only loses mana but not health when worn. This function is too powerful. I don¡¯t understand why Chen Tianyu doesn¡¯t want it.
"This is a matter of opinion. I don't particularly like protective rings."
"Why?" Xu Xing asked again.
¡°I feel like that ring is not particularly practical right now.¡±
"Why?" Xu Xing asked again.
"Damn it, you repeater, you always do it for a reason." Chen Tianyu laughed and cursed, and then explained: "After the protective ring on the equipment is attacked, although it loses mp but not hp, the mp lost is hp. 1.5 times, which is equivalent to someone hitting you with 100 hp, and you will lose 150 mp points."
"Our level is so low now, and even if we reach level 46, the mage only has 1146 magic points."?Do you know how much mana it costs to use Hell's Lightning? 55 points! "
"Hell Thunder requires 55 magic points, Magic Shield requires 50 magic points, Fire Wall requires 45 magic points, Ice Roar requires 42 magic points. The Flash Movie is even more incredible, it requires 60 magic points. . Even ordinary lightning spells require 18 magic points."
¡°If you don¡¯t take instant healing medicine like Sun Water, you¡¯ll be attacked by others and use your own skills, in the end you won¡¯t even be able to get your magic points back.¡±
"Even if you take the big potions that are added instantly, look at our package. There are only a few slots in total. If you put a few bundles of magic potions and the rest are full of big potions, it won't last long."
If the big medicine can be bundled in the later stage, it will be almost the same. Of course, Chen Tianyu could only say this in his heart.
"Huh? According to what you said, this protective ring is really rubbish." Xu Xing said regretfully. "I thought it was such a cool special ring."
"The protective ring is not rubbish. Even if someone has a cheat, uses a knife to assassinate from a distance, and is equipped with Lucky 9 equipment, the mage wearing the protective ring is also a god-like existence. If you don't want to kill others during PK, you can't kill them. ."
"Wow, this ring is still awesome!"
Chen Tianyu shook his head and said: "It's a good ring, but please pay attention to what I said, it's just that others can't kill you during PK."
Chen Tianyu decided to give up protecting himself and choose another special ring first.
Let¡¯s just say go fight the Zuma leader. Although there is a plug-in function to wear monsters, if you have an invisibility ring, it will be easier to explore the path and write down the coordinate points of each floor. It will be safer to explore Zuma 7-1, 7-2 and 7-3.
In addition to Zuma, when the Day Gate opens in the future, the invisibility ring will also be of great use.
When the White Sun Gate was first opened, the spiders in Chiyue were all over the screen, and their attack power was very powerful. There was a saying going around at the time: It¡¯s better to run to death than be random!
You can imagine how dense the monsters were at that time.
