Chapter 126 0123 [Feng Bao Online]

Starting in mid-December, various departments at Peking University began holding New Year's Eve parties.

The School of Journalism and Communication was the first to celebrate New Year's Day, on December 18th.

The Yuanpei Class program will begin on December 29th.

From the class of 01 to 04, the Yuanpei Class has been held for four sessions, and they all gathered together for the New Year's Eve party. There are a total of 477 people, and 436 of them came today, with the rest participating in academic projects or exchange programs.

Director Zhu, who had initially tricked Chen Guiliang into signing up, also came.

He's here to distribute scholarships.

The money has already been received; today is just a special day to present the award certificates.

One student after another went up on stage to receive their awards.

Lei Tuo, the head of the liberal arts class, told Chen Guiliang: "Starting next year, liberal arts students in the Yuanpei Class will have to take advanced mathematics, humanities and social sciences as their basic courses, and computer science as their general education course."

"Damn it." Chen Guiliang felt a headache coming on.

Not only can we not escape advanced mathematics, but we also have to learn computer science? What the heck?

Lei Tuo said, "The science classes are even worse off, with basic courses including advanced mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology as compulsory subjects."

Chen Guiliang felt that he and his group were like guinea pigs. The teaching model of the Yuanpei Class was not yet mature and had to be adjusted every year based on the teaching situation.

"Lei Tuo, Class of 04, Liberal Arts..."

When Lei Tuo heard his name called, he immediately ran up to receive the award.

The scholarship was none of Chen Guiliang's business, and he was too embarrassed to apply for it because he had skipped classes far too often.

Next, outstanding students were commended.

"Bai Ruijie, a student from the Class of 01, won the championship in CCTV's 'Challenge the Host' competition and subsequently worked as an intern host at CCTV and Phoenix TV. Now, Bai Ruijie has secured an internship opportunity at People's Daily..."

Chen Guiliang carefully examined this senior brother Bai and thought that they could exchange ideas in the future.

"Tan Hui, a student from the Class of 01..."

Students kept coming up to the stage, mainly third- and fourth-year students.

"Guo Feng from the Class of 02 and Chen Guiliang from the Class of 04 co-founded an internet company, which was successfully selected for the Peking University Science Park incubation program. Their campus network has attracted widespread attention from society..."

Chen Guiliang walked up calmly.

Guo Feng still looked somewhat unkempt; his stubble was unkempt, his hair was greasy, and he hadn't changed his coat since winter began. Unaware of his disheveled appearance, he smiled and waved to his classmates.

"Guo the Madman!"

"Hahahaha!"

Someone called out Guo Feng's nickname, and the other students immediately burst into laughter.

Ao Yanzhen was also a student in the Yuanpei Class, but her name was not on the incubation agreement, so she was not considered an entrepreneur by the school.

"Chen Guiliang, you've only been enrolled for a short time, but you've already done quite a lot," Director Zhu joked.

Chen Guiliang said, "I am ashamed."

He was truly ashamed and only hoped not to fail too many subjects.

The senior students standing on the stage receiving their awards also looked at Chen Guiliang with curiosity, planning to exchange contact information after they left the stage.

After the awards ceremony, the New Year's Eve gala performances officially began.

The show opened with street dance, and the senior students danced enthusiastically, their outfits having a slightly unconventional feel.

The connection between Peking University's Yuanpei Program and "non-mainstream" is... well, it's quite remarkable.

What’s even more outrageous is yet to come.

After several plays, skits, and song and dance performances, the male host (a third-year student) shouted, "All the male students here, let's sing 'Single Love Song' together!"

"Hahaha!"

"it is good!"

Many of the boys in the Yuanpei Class did not date, which may be related to their personality or their heavy academic workload.

"I can't hold onto love; I always watch it slip away. There are happy people everywhere in the world, why can't I be one of them..."

The boys sang with great enthusiasm, and some even roared at the top of their lungs, making the students around them laugh.

Chen Guiliang couldn't detach himself from the masses, so he hummed along a few lines, pretending that he was still single.

Next up are interactive games between men and women, which will probably be similar to those on "Happy Camp".

It was really childish, but everyone had a lot of fun.

The party finally ended at 9 p.m., and everyone walked away in groups according to their dormitory building numbers.

Chen Guiliang had a good day, getting dozens more phone numbers.

Back in the dorm, Min Wenyu lay down immediately: "Guo the Madman, you've finally decided to come back to the dorm. If you hadn't come back, I was going to report you as a missing person."

"No time." Guo Feng took off his coat and rubbed his face.

Guo Feng has been extremely busy lately, not only developing various functions but also finding time to continue learning computer technology.

Do you think he is wholeheartedly dedicated to starting his business?
They never stopped learning; the value of enrolling in 22 courses speaks for itself.

However, he has now dropped all his other courses except for computer science.

"I talked to my advisor tonight, and he said he could help me transfer to the computer science major." Guo Feng rummaged through his clothes to go take a shower.

Jiang Junlai asked, "Aren't you going to study biology with that senior female student anymore?"

Guo Feng said very seriously, "Love is a spiritual resonance between two subjects. They can be each other's subject and object, but they cannot be in a primary and secondary relationship. I have been reflecting on this recently. I chose biology for my senior sister, which was actually putting her first and myself second. This deviated from the original intention and true meaning of love."

“That makes sense!” Chen Guiliang chuckled, playing the straight man.

Only after Guo Feng left the dormitory with the bucket and a change of clothes did Jiang Junlai say, "I thought he was normal, but I didn't expect him to still be a little..."

“Abstract,” Chen Guiliang said.

Jiang Junlai said, "Yes, it's abstract. That word is so fitting."

Chen Guiliang turned on his computer and contacted some netizens via QQ.

These people were all paying players of "Legend of the Abyss" back then, and they were the ones who recharged through online banking.

Excellent customers! Chen Guiliang also left messages on QQ for Boss Shi and others.

However, Mr. Shi was busy developing "Conquer Online" and had no time to play "Three Kingdoms Kill" or chat with Chen Guiliang.

UnionPay's qualification review has not yet been approved; it will definitely have to wait until after the New Year's Day holiday.

Chen Guiliang also negotiated with China Mobile and China Unicom, and had some effect, managing to reduce the revenue share from 70% to 65%. For large companies like Shanda, he could actually negotiate down to below 60%.

Although payment channels are not yet available, players can already try it out.

We'll start organizing activities from New Year's Day.

Players can complete tasks and receive items and silver by being online for a certain number of minutes each day. There are also corresponding rewards for winning a certain number of matches each day.

Sign in for seven consecutive days to get a free one-month membership.

Members can experience the newly launched Wind Pack generals and receive some items and silver coins upon logging in daily.

Of course, even if you don't get a membership during the event, there will still be a random Wind Pack general in the selection pool.

As for [Divine Guan Yu] and [Divine Lü Meng], each use requires an item, and they will be charged per use in the future due to their overpowered abilities. Free players will also have the opportunity to experience them, as they can obtain the items to summon these divine generals during each event.

Yuanhuo Animation Club has been meticulously working on creating new skins.

……

New Year's Day has arrived in the blink of an eye.

Huang Kai, a freshman majoring in animation at the Communication University of China, logged into the game "Three Kingdoms Kill" when he returned to his dormitory at night.

He was unaware that his luck had been stolen; the game that he was supposed to invent had appeared two years ahead of schedule.

Huang Kai loved Yu-Gi-Oh! when he was in junior high school. Some time ago, he came across Three Kingdoms Kill through the school's intranet and immediately became extremely obsessed. He even became a dedicated promoter, helping to promote it both online and offline.

I received a notification message as soon as I entered the game.

"Because the number of registered users of the Three Kingdoms Kill game has reached 20000, we are releasing the 'Expansion Pack - Wind' ahead of schedule, adding ten new playable generals. We are also updating the quest and item systems... Signing in for seven consecutive days will grant you a trial membership..."

The previous basic pack contained 25 generals. Ten of them could be obtained by registering an account, while the rest had to be purchased with silver.

Players didn't care, since they were rewarded with silver coins for playing a game and could also earn silver coins by completing tasks.

Moreover, they felt a strange sense of accomplishment after they bought all 25 generals with silver.

"This newly released Yu Ji is quite interesting... Wei Yan and Zhang Jiao are also good. Holy crap, the Divine Guan Yu and Divine Lü Meng are too overpowered! Luckily, you can't just choose any character; you have to use special items to summon them..."

Huang Kai entered an eight-person room and found that two of the players had colorful skins.

Where did you get your skin from?

"Haha, you can buy treasure chests in the shop with silver coins, and you'll also get treasure chests for completing ten wins every day. I got this skin from opening treasure chests."

"Sun Shangxiang has such beautiful skin."

"..."

Huang Kai was randomly assigned the new general Xiao Qiao in this game, and regardless of his identity as a spy, he immediately selected Xiao Qiao.

After carefully considering Xiao Qiao's comprehension skills, Huang Kai thought: How could Xiao Qiao be a better match for a Wei general? Could she have actually studied at the Bronze Sparrow Terrace?
The lord is Cao Cao, and right from the start, the southern barbarians invade.

When it was Yu Ji's turn, his bewitching was flawless.

This thing is new, and nobody's familiar with it yet, so let's question it first.

*Thud thud thud thud...* Seven people are losing blood.

Huang Kai tested the skill and sent it to the lord, Tianxiang.

Cao Cao continued to release the southern barbarians, and Yu Ji continued his instigation, quickly killing the two rebels. Just as the lord was laughing heartily, the loyal minister Xiahou Yuan was also killed by Xiao Qiao's arrow.

A pile of low-health enemies.

Yu Ji, in his charade of abundant harvests, chose a card that symbolized creation from nothing, and continued to use this charade to create something from nothing.

Then, the traitor Yu Ji began to take control of the entire situation.

Even dead players don't log out; they stay in the room and chat.

"This update is very interesting."

"Yes, the new generals are all very distinctive."

How do I obtain Divine General Cards?

"It seems you can get it by opening treasure chests; I heard someone got it from one. Some items in the shop, including the Divine General Card, can only be purchased with gold ingots, which require real money to purchase."

"If you can play the game for free, who would spend money?"

"I hope rich people will spend more money on the game, otherwise how will this game make money? If the game company goes bankrupt, we won't be able to play it either."

"Oh my god, I just checked the shop. Converting the gold ingots to RMB, it costs one yuan to buy a Divine General Card. That means it costs one yuan to use a Divine General card once!"

"So expensive."

"It's better if it's more expensive, so as not to disrupt the game balance."

"..."

Game Science, office.

Chen Guiliang asked, "How many users are registered?"

"It has already exceeded 23,000," Dong Qianqiu said.

Chen Guiliang said happily, "It's rising pretty fast. Damn, although the ad space on 17173 is expensive, it's really effective."

Chen Guiliang bought a banner ad on the homepage of 17173 for 8 yuan over three days (it was even more expensive on New Year's Day)!
They also bought a month's worth of regular featured ads, costing 12 yuan!

The total advertising cost of 20 yuan was so high that Chen Gui's conscience was bleeding.

But it was worth the price; once the ads were up, the number of registered users skyrocketed.

With the promotional activities held during the New Year's Day holiday, user activity and retention rates were also quite good.

They're just waiting for the recharge channel to open so they can start collecting money.

Moreover, once the number of users on Renren.com increases, it seems that they can also take on advertising to recoup some revenue.
