Chapter 55 Game Actuary

Two days later.

The two came to a dormitory of Suicheng University.

“Senior Huang, come, have a cigarette first…”

Li Baijie handed a Shuangxi cigarette to the tall junior in front of him.

The senior student was not polite. He took it and started smoking. “I bought this computer last year. I think it cost me 4,500 yuan. I don’t use it often. I left it in the dormitory for those guys to watch movies…”

An Yi didn’t say anything and carefully checked the computer’s configuration.

AMD Athlon II processor, Gigabyte GA-MA770 motherboard, Kingston DDR2 800 narrow board memory, fortunately it is 2G…

Just looking at this configuration, it does make sense.

Nowadays, the average office configuration of a computer costs at least three thousand yuan, and for playing some 2D casual games, around 3700 yuan will be enough.

If you want to play large-scale 3D online games, you will have to spend at least five or six thousand yuan.

Fortunately, the game DNF does not consume much graphics card space, but only some memory. 2G of memory should be enough for two to three years.

An Yi stood up and negotiated, “Brother, yours is indeed good, but the price of 3200 is a bit high. After all, if I add a few hundred dollars and buy a brand new one, the performance will not be much different from yours.”

What he said was actually very pertinent. If he had money, he would really do so. After all, computers are his livelihood.

But my current strength does not allow it.

Since he bought the Tornado Claw, he sold two sets of 50CC light guns for only 3900 yuan. With the few hundred yuan he had left, he had to save some for food.

The tall boy was slightly displeased and asked, “Then how much are you willing to pay?”

“2800,” An Yi gave his lowest price.

“No, it’s too little.” The tall boy refused decisively, “The best I can do is reduce it to 3000.”

An Yi shook his head, pointed at the dust on the computer case and the greasy keyboard, and said, “This thing is too dirty. I guess there’s still a lot of human DNA left on it… I have to change it, right?”

The tall boy heard this and opened his mouth.

“2900, no less!” He waved his hands and made up his mind.

“make a deal.”

An Yi didn’t bargain this time.

The two paid with one hand and delivered the goods with the other.

An Yi was holding the Cooler Master host computer case, and Li Baijie was holding the AOC LCD screen behind him.

As for the greasy mouse and keyboard, they were naturally installed as well. Although they were a bit dirty, they were a peripheral kit of Logitech after all. After a wash, they were definitely better than the Double Flying Swallows.

Li Baijie got a small tricycle from somewhere, and the two of them pedaled and pushed it back to the rented house.

“Oh, damn, it turns out that riding a tricycle is so tiring!”

Li Baijie wiped the sweat off his face, but in such a hot autumn weather, he couldn’t stop sweating profusely.

There were not many household appliances in the house, not even an electric fan, so I simply went to the public bathroom to take a shower.

After coming out, I felt much more refreshed.

“Master, you also know computers?”

Li Baijie couldn’t help but admire him as he watched the other party remove the computer’s graphics card, memory, fan, etc. and gently remove the dust with a brush.

“Know something.”

An Yi cleaned the second-hand machine, installed it, and powered it on smoothly.

Then, reinstalled the system.

After all, they use this thing to watch movies, and who knows how many Trojans and viruses are hidden in it.

After nearly two hours of fiddling, the computer officially turned on and the Windows XP page opened again.

“Dungeon, start!”

Li Baijie screamed in a very childish way.

An Yi quickly asked him to speak in a low voice, because this was a retirement community for employees, and almost all the people living around here were uncles and aunts, and people of this age were the most difficult to deal with.

And the rental contract clearly stated that no loud noises were allowed…

“I haven’t even downloaded the game yet, why bother launching it?”

An Yi smiled with relief.

Now, this second-hand desktop computer is considered the first computer in his life.

However, when Li Baijie saw the network link with an X in the lower right corner, he slapped his forehead and said, “Brother Yi, you didn’t pull the network cable!”

“……” An Yi was stunned.

Damn, I’m so busy.

In fact, it’s not that he forgot, but he waited for two days and found that the tenant opposite had not been seen once…

There was no other choice, An Yi could only call Old Mrs. Zhang.

In less than half an hour.

Mrs. Zhang went upstairs, took out her key, and opened the door opposite: “Come in, take a look for yourself, how do you pull the network cable?”

An Yi had no choice but to follow him into the house. Fortunately, he had prepared the Internet cable in advance, at one yuan per meter, and he bought 20 meters.

The layout of the room was obviously larger than his, with two bedrooms and a living room, and it was elegantly decorated. He entered the study, found the optical modem, plugged the network cable into it, and then pulled it all the way around the window to his room.

“Oh my god, so many musical instruments and DVDs?”

Li Baijie, who was standing by, glanced at the study and saw a bookcase filled with various CDs and DVDs.

Not only is there a set of audio equipment that takes up a large area in the room, but there are also many guitars, accordions and other musical instruments hanging on the walls.

“It’s not a DVD, it should be a record.” An Yi said in a low voice.

Because he noticed that the room had wooden floors, the walls were specially decorated and soundproofed, there were many vinyl records, and there was an antique record player in one place.

“Hehe, the little guy has good taste.”

Mrs. Zhang, who was standing behind him, rarely smiled and said disdainfully, “You are just a half-baked person. You will never achieve anything in your life. You can only mislead students in college!”

comfortable:”……”

Li Baijie: “…”

The two looked at each other in bewilderment. Could this be the home of a university teacher?
After dialing up to the Internet, Anyi first downloaded the 360 ​​full package. Computer viruses are rampant these days, so it doesn’t matter whether the antivirus software is useful or not, just turn it on for peace of mind.

Then download QQ Tornado, and then use Tornado to download the DNF client.

After all, this thing is produced by Penguin and has an exclusive DNF download channel, which is much faster than Thunder.

“The internet speed is good, the download speed is 421k/s, and the upload speed is 99…”

Looking at the download speed, An Yi nodded secretly.

Although we are still in the era of dial-up Internet access, judging from the Internet speed, the other party is obviously using a 4M telephone line, which is the top configuration for residential areas.

“I am so jealous!”

On the side, Li Baijie was chewing sugarcane, feeling truly envious.

After all, campus network is a thing that is painful for anyone who uses it.

“I just don’t know how to share the internet fee with the other party…”

An Yi nodded, and Mrs. Zhang asked him to use it first, and they would discuss it further after he returned from his business trip.

Taking advantage of this moment, An Yi looked at the young man in front of him who was struggling to tear the sugarcane skin with his teeth, and asked seriously: “Brother Jie, how do you think DNF can make money?”

“How do you make money?”

Li Baijie was a little confused by the question.

However, he quickly reacted and said excitedly: “Of course I can be a game merchant! Materials, potions, equipment, buy high and sell low… As long as you have time and are willing to work hard, you will definitely make money from this game!”

Although he went to college, Suicheng University was also very good, a reputable first-class university.

But he knew that in this increasingly competitive society, relying only on a university diploma would only allow him to be a high-level worker and a social beast of burden.

If he wanted to get rich, following a routine all his life was not what he wanted…

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be thinking about making money by playing games, and he wouldn’t also like video editing and so on.

“Well, that’s not wrong.”

An Yi nodded. What the other party said was actually pretty much the same.

Game merchants can undoubtedly make a living in DNF. If they dig deeper and become big game merchants, with the popularity of the game, earning a million-dollar fortune is not just a pipe dream.

The opponent is just a freshman in school, but he has such knowledge and actions, which has surpassed 98% of the players.

These days, the other party has been following him around and running errands, and An Yi has taken it to heart.

Li Baijie said embarrassedly: “I read Han Han’s novel “Glory Day” before. There was a game actuary named Mi Qi. I thought it was very interesting at the time. Now I am studying this subject in college…”

“Game actuary?”

An Yi listened with a strange look on his face.

Is there such a profession in the game development team?

Emmm, if there really is such a thing in DNF, the game currency wouldn’t collapse so badly in the later stages…

“Correct!”

Li Baijie nodded seriously and said, “So, I think my vision as a game businessman is not bad.”

“Well, I, Straw Hat Naruto, formally invite you, Jerry Mouse, to come aboard! Become my partner!”

An Yi showed a trace of relief, revealing a rare atmosphere of middle school: “This great maritime trade route… let’s go together, there is no wind but the waves!”

“Uh, you should just call me Brother Jie.”

Li Baijie was speechless, but still clapped hands with the other party.

A great player in the game, a man who dreams of becoming a game actuary…

With the powerful alliance, we will definitely be the King of Shanghai!

The two joked for a while and Li Baijie left first because he still had classes to attend.

I looked at the updated DNF client with ease and logged into the game.

At the same time, he pulled out a notebook from his backpack.

He turned to a certain page, which recorded all the materials, equipment… and even various game items that he could recall during these days.
