Once this piece of news had been released, the entire world was in shock.
This time, it was different from the previous explosive poprity.
The yers were first shocked and stunned for a few hours, and the entire inte was totally silent, then it was like an atomic bomb exploded!
After all, the entertainment aspect in this world had always been so-so, because people in this world were more concerned about sports and exercise. Many sports-rtedrge scale events were extremely popr, and this was totally not something the entertainment industry couldpare to.
Before Li Nianwei’s appearance, the previously most popr Tai Yajing only had a worth of a little more than 10 million. In the film aspect, an investment of 10 million or so was already considered a big production, and even Hollywood basically didn’t have any blockbuster movies. Had it not been Hollywood wanting to save its face and thus wanted to defeat Hong Dali, it would totally be impossible for a blockbuster of 50 million investment to appear!
In this world,pared to the entertainment aspect, more attention was paid towards the development of sports events! Usually, there was plenty of people doing various kinds of sports and exercises. Everyone saw sports as beauty, and yers who liked to y online games were almost all seen as the odd ones out. This was also the reason why Hong Dali was so unweed previously when his health was poor.
It was because this world valued sports too much. After all, the body was the foundation for everything.
But when Hong Daliunched such a gaming idea, everything became different. In fact, the previous night when the Bureau Chief heard of Hong Dali’s n, and Lin Chuyin said that this n was feasible, the high executives of Heavenly State held an emergency meeting—thus, this real E-Sports concept could beunched so quickly.
And after this piece of news had been released, as expected, the entire Heavenly State erupted, and the world was shocked!
...
As a die-hard online gaming fan, Han Chengwen had been very entertained by ying games these few days. And during his rest time after getting tired from ying games, he liked to browse through the inte for thetest news.
It had to be said that Spiritual Sword was overall pretty good. Han Chengwen was very satisfied. As an awesome and very high-level professional yer, his ability was unquestionable. He could be said to be an extremely influential gamer, the chairman of a n with a few hundred people under him... Thus, he could be said to have gotten lots of fame.
But today, just after he exited from the game and logged in the y Together official website to enter the forum to kill time and brag, he was attracted by a title—
“A notice by the Sports department, the Films and Entertainment department, regarding thebination of sports and online gaming to create E-Sports? What the heck, what is this thing?” Without any hesitation, he clicked into it, and upon taking a look, Han Chengwen waspletely stunned!
“What the heck! Abination of sports and gaming! Nation greatly supports it!” With just these few key points, Han Chengwen was instantly excited!
“Dream Dota! It’s Dream Dota!” Han Chengwen eximed in surprise. “It’s the Dream Dota developed by Young Master! What the heck, this is awesome! This game is able tobine sports and gaming? E-Sports?!”
As an online gaming lover, Han Chengwen was, of course, a geek. And to geeks, their biggest dream was to be able to train themselves physically to woo girls while ying games...
Previously, he’d really only thought about it, but now, everything was different!
He could happily y games! He could do physical exercises at the same time while ying games! And he could also participate inpetitions and earn prize money in the midst of ying games and doing physical exercises! And the most awesome aspect was that, in the future, his girlfriend would very possibly be a gaming lover as well! Once he thought of how he could probably y games happily with his future girlfriend...
Oh god, that type of life would totally be heaven, wouldn’t it!
He hurriedly entered the y Together forum. The number of Dream Dota posts almost blinded Han Chengwen!
Behind the Dream Dota League special zone, a huge figure impressively appeared—286,340! And the current most popr online game, Spiritual Sword special zone’s number of posts, on the other hand, was 225,498 posts!
That meant that within a short two days’ time, the poprity of Dream Dota League had already surpassed Spiritual Sword’s!
“Say no more, I’ll go and find my brothers to y it!” Han Chengwen directly took out his smartphone.
Very soon, the call was received, and Han Chengwen shouted incessantly, “Country bumpkins, quickly wake up and look at god!”
The person on the other end of the call was evidently groggy. “What’s the matter, look at god? It wasn’t easy for me to dream of a pretty girl just now, and then it was messed up by you...”
“Dream my foot! This time, there’s real, pretty girls!” Han Chengwen shouted, “Hurry up. Get up and go see the headlines of y Together official forum’s main page! Quickly go and take a look, our dream age has arrived! What the heck! Within such a short time, the number ofments has already exceeded 200,000!”
“What the—what kind of news is so powerful?!” The other person hurriedly got out of bed, and after a short while, he screamed, “Damn it, am I not awake yet! Really? E-Sports?! Abination of sports and gaming?!”
“Of course it’s real! What kind of hero do you n to y?” Han Chengwen anxiously said, “I’m nning to y as a mage!”
“You should be good at operating and ying as a mage. I’ll probably y as a tank!”
“Then it’s settled!”
...
Chenhui Building, ninth floor.
Hong Daliy on Li Nianwei’sp, smiling as he asked Ling Xiaoyi, “Xiaoyi, how are things going at Dream Dota now?”
Ling Xiaoyi looked at the report in her hands, smiled and said, “Young Master, currently, Dream Dota League has 40 servers open, and it looks like it’s still unable to deal with the continually increasing number of yers. Why don’t... we open a few more servers?”
Hong Dali touched his chin and thought for a while, then he asked, “There’s no rush. Sister Xiaoyi, help me find out how much money the most expensive and best servers cost. I want the best ones, the most advanced ones! The ones that operate the fastest!”
“This...” <i>Looks like Young Master wants to y it big! </i>Ling Xiaoyi hurriedly went out to ask and very soon returned. “Currently, the most powerful server on sale in the world is produced by IM, and it needs to be ordered. They’re now calcting the price.”
“Ask them to contact me.” Hong Dali added, “Get someone who knows Chinese, I don’t know how to speak English.”
“O... OK...” Ling Xiaoyi hurriedly went to make the call. Very soon, Hong Dali’s smartphone rang, and a young male voice respectfully said, “May I know whether it’s Mr. Hong Dali? I am the manager of IM Asia.”
“Yes, it’s me.” Hong Dali humphed. “Xiaoyi has talked to you, right? I want the most powerful server in the world. State a price. And don’t talk nonsense, I don’t have much time.”
The person at the other end of the call was evidently stunned for a while, then he hurriedly replied, “Mr. Dali, currently, the most powerful server costs 146 million USD...”
“State it in terms of yuan.” Hong Dali humphed again. “I don’t use USD to count money.”
“165 million, Mr. Dali!” The person at the other end of the call was evidently very nervous—Looks like this Mr. Dali doesn’t have a good temper...
“How long will it take to be installed?” Hong Dali humphed yet again. “I’m azy person. I hate troublesome things.”
“The fastest would be...” The Asia region manager thought for a while. “At least 10 days or so.”
“I’ll round it up to 200 million. I want to see the goods two dayster.” Hong Dali sniffled. “If you ept the order, I’ll give you 100 million as deposit in the afternoon. If you don’t ept it, I’ll find another person.”
“ept!” Initially, the person was still rather hesitant, but upon hearing that Hong Dali would round it up to 200 million... Whoever didn’t ept it would be a fool!
“That’s good...” Hong Dali humphed. “I like decisive people. Send someone over in the afternoon with the contract.”
“O... OK!” The Asia manager was ted as he hung up the call...
“Dali, you aren’t nning to...” Tang Muxin carefully asked, “Concentrate all the yers in the entire Heavenly State in one server, right?!”
