Friday, March 9, 2001.

After school in the evening, Zhao Xucheng hurriedly left the school and went to the software store.

Since entering high school, the weekends every week have been his rare period of relaxation. During the period from Friday night to Sunday morning, Zhao Xucheng can experience computer games with peace of mind.

Yes, he is a computer game enthusiast.

Especially since I came into contact with Bomi's galgame "Night of Glory of Kings" in May last year, Zhao Xucheng will revisit this game every weekend.

And I also went to the newspaper booth from time to time to see if there was any news about new domestic games.

Now that I have been playing Swordsman Love 2 for several months, Zhao Xucheng has a bit of a game shortage.

If it weren't for the fact that "Flowers and Snow" released by Feiyue Company had a lot of bad reviews, Zhao Xucheng, who is in a game shortage, would really want to give it a try.

After going to the software store, Zhao Xucheng followed the convention to start Taobao in the new software sales area.

His eyes swept down from the top row one by one, and finally stopped on the cover of one of the discs.

“Huh?”

Zhao Xucheng let out a light eh and took down the game disc.

It’s not because the game attracts him, but mainly on the cover of this game, there is a particularly familiar logo—

BOMI

Bomi Games.

After careful confirmation, Zhao Xucheng was surprised to find that this was really a game developed by Bomi Games.

Here, Zhao Xucheng reexamined it.

He reached out and wiped the fingerprints on the cover to reveal the smooth picture.

The name of the game is "The Biography of Zhao Yun of the Three Kingdoms"

The cover is antique and painted with the image of a general with a somewhat Xishanju style.

Based on Zhao Xucheng's understanding of the Three Kingdoms and combined with the name of the game, it is not difficult to infer that the cover character is [Zhao Yun]

Zhao Yun has silver helmet and silver armor, holding a gun in his right hand, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes. The void back in the distance can see the smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield.

Zhao Yunchuan’s big characters are written in traditional Chinese, with strong and artistic style.

To be honest, this game is very exquisite just by looking at the pictures, which at least conforms to people's understanding of the Three Kingdoms, and the artistic effect is also good.

But when Zhao Xucheng thought that this was actually a game produced by Bomi, he couldn't help but frown.

There were many ancient figures of the previous figures of Honor of Kings, such as the First Emperor, Li Bai, and A Ke...

However, in addition to the original historical figures, those character settings are actually very creative. Everyone has a brand new interpretation and a very outstanding design sense. For example, Li Bai has a short-haired, sun-like face, and the wine gourd and long sword on his waist are very consistent with Li Bai's elegant image.

When Zhao Xucheng saw the Glory of Kings, he was shocked.

But--

Bomi's play style has not been continued.

Because the style of Zhao Yunchuan’s painting is really different from that of Honor of Kings.

If it weren't for the logo above that said BOMI, Zhao Xucheng would not believe that this ancient game was actually developed by Bomi.

It can't be said that it has regressed, at least it does not have the stunning feeling that was before.

Zhao Xucheng frowned and couldn't help but hesitate.

I just don't know how good the game is.

and……

Bomi is too strange, right?

Before the game was released, I didn’t even promote it or advertise it.

Zhao Xucheng still remembers the interview with Boss Bomi in "The New Era of Games" a year ago. Boss Cao did not mention the development and release of "The Legend of Zhao Yun" at that time.

Why did it suddenly go on sale?

Zhao Xucheng didn't understand very much.

If he didn't come to the software store to check it out today, he might have missed this game.

As a fan of Bomi (not a loyal player), Zhao Xucheng is still looking forward to playing Bomi's new work.

"Sister, I want one."

Zhao Xucheng put the CD on the cashier.

"Okay, 69 yuan." The young lady smiled politely.

"Sister, why didn't I see the poster of this game when I walked past outside? I haven't heard of Zhao Yunchuan's release before."

The young lady smiled bitterly, ask me, who should I ask?

"The boss was also very hasty when he was getting the goods. It seemed that there was something wrong with Bomi's finances and he couldn't afford to advertise."

oh……

Zhao Xucheng nodded, the reason was understandable.

But he turned around and thought-

Do Bomi’s first two games sell well?

Why do you lose money when you get this game?

...

For those who are unaware of it, there are many reasons why Bomi speculates that he has no time to advertise "Zhao Yun Biography".

The most widely circulated thing is that Boss Cao invested blindly, but as a result, his company's capital chain collapsed, resulting in a reduction in advertising costs from Zhao Yunchuan.

There are some other statements that Boss Cao had a holiday with the producer who produced "Zhao Yun Zhuan". Because of some disagreement, the boss cut Zhao Yun Zhuan's funds and wanted to kick Zhao Yun Zhuan out of the producer as soon as possible.

Another type is that Bomi's boss is not optimistic about the game "Zhao Yun Biography", so he is unwilling to promote it.

...

In short, there are various versions.

Rumors on the Internet are flying all over the sky, which aroused players' curiosity even more.

"I want to see where this "Biography of Zhao Yun" is not done well, and there is not even basic publicity or advertising."

"Yes, right, don't you know after playing? If Zhao Yunchuan does a good job and Boss Bomi doesn't provide the funds for publicity, it must be the boss's problem."

"Yeah, it makes sense."

...

The reason why Zhao Xucheng played Zhao Yun Biography is very simple-

Because it is a game developed by Bomi.

Bomi's Honor of Kings is of great importance and reputation in his mind.

The goodwill accumulated by Honor of Kings is enough to support some loyal fans in trying Zhao Yunchuan.

Of course, it would be another matter if Zhao Yun’s message was not fun.

You can't feed someone else shit just because you gave me a piece of chocolate last time.

Players will no longer trust you after eating shit.

After returning home, Zhao Xucheng inserted the CD into the CD drive.

(Many children have never seen what an optical drive is? It is like a disc machine. There is a button. When you press it, you will spit out a tray. Put the disc inside. Press the button and the tray will take the disc back. At this time, the optical drive will start reading the disc and decompress the information on the disc to install it on the computer hard disk.)

Click Install and follow the instructions to replace the disc.

About ten minutes later, the installation of "Biography of Zhao Yun" was completed.

On the computer desktop, a silver helmet icon appeared.

Zhao Xucheng took a deep breath, held a feeling of expectation and tension, double-clicked the icon to open the game.
Chapter completed!
