Chapter 237 Drawing cards is really exciting
The Spring Festival is probably children’s favorite holiday. In addition to the holidays, there is also the lively atmosphere of the New Year. The most important thing is that there is lucky money to collect.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, other shops still have signs on their doors to attract wealth, and Internet cafes are already open.
At this time, the kid buddies have also become the main force in the Internet cafe. After all, they have just received the New Year's money, their wallets are full, and they also have pocket money to use the Internet.
A half-grown kid opened a computer and clicked on the page of "The Legend of the Three Kingdoms". He looked at the rankings first. He hadn't logged in for a few days. The kid was in the rankings. The ranking on the list has dropped a lot.
But the kid brother didn't care about him. He came here with money today, and he could draw dozens of cards at once. If he could get a few red card generals, he would be able to move up the rankings very quickly.
Kidzi Ge quit the rankings and was preparing to earn money when he found a New Year event button on the page. Brother Kid clicked in and saw that it was an event to smoke Sun Shangxiang. This Sun Shangxiang not only has a gold card, but is also a special military commander with special skills.
"If you draw a card 888 times, you will definitely get Sun Shangxiang. It costs one yuan to draw a card. Even if there is a 20% discount for drawing cards during the Spring Festival, it still costs 700 yuan!"
In the heart of Brother Zizi After thinking about it, I thought it was not worth it. The total amount of New Year's money you can control is only so much. If you use it all to draw cards, you won't have any pocket money in the next year.
The cash-strapped boy decided not to participate in the activity of smoking Sun Shangxiang, so he exited the activity interface.
However, the next second, a banner message scrolled across the top of the screen.
“Congratulations to the player ‘God of War MARS’ for winning the gold card special general Sun Shangxiang!”
This player is probably a fan of Zhou Yimin.
Looking at the server-wide banner that floated out, Brother Kid showed a ray of envy in his eyes.
At this moment, in the world dialog box, the player with the ID name MARS, God of War, spoke: "55 was drawn to Sun Shangxiang, isn't it awesome?"
"What's so cool about this? I got 42!"
"28 got passed by!"
"17 means you're all scum. Scum!"
"Damn it, you guys are so lucky, I got more than 150 before I got Sun Shangxiang!"
After seeing these conversations, Brother Kid was a little tempted. .
"You can draw 17. If you include the 20% discount, it only costs 14 yuan, which is equivalent to buying a Fantasy Westward Journey point card. This way you can get a gold card Sun Shangxiang, which is also a special general!"
When Brother Kid was hesitating whether to participate, another dialog box appeared on the screen.
"Congratulations to the player 'The Strongest Bully of the Three Kingdoms' for winning the Gold Card Special Military General Sun Shangxiang!"
"Congratulations to the player 'Melancholy Carrots' for winning the Gold Card Special Military General Sun Shangxiang!"
< br>“Congratulations to the player ‘Chop Knife Meets Chopper’ for winning the gold card special general Sun Shangxiang!”
Seeing these banners, Brother Kid couldn't help it. He went to the Internet cafe counter and bought a 100 yuan recharge card, then rushed directly into the game, and then started smoking Sun Shangxiang.
For the first time, I didn’t win, but I got a green card general.
The second time, I still didn’t win, but I got some farm cards.
The third time, I still didn’t win, and got another green card general.
After ten draws, although Sun Shangxiang was not drawn, he got some props and some generals, including Zhang Jiao, a blue card general.
Brother Kid calculated it carefully and found that there seemed to be no loss in this draw. The generals drawn were guaranteed to have green cards. Just like the normal draw, the props drawn were worth more than one dollar.
“I was planning to draw the generals anyway, so why not draw them all here!”
The child brother was cruel and drew all the 100 yuan he just recharged. But his luck was not as good as that of "God of War MARS". After drawing a hundred times, he did not get Sun Shangxiang.
However, he still got a red card general and eleven blue card generals, as well as props. If so, from the perspective of the purchase amount, the items obtained in this wave of strong draws cost more than 100 yuan, which is considered Earned.
On the computer screen, a dialog box for a certain player to obtain the gold card special general Sun Shangxiang was still flashing across the screen. In the fair world dialogue, there were also many players showing off that they had drawn it with a small number of opportunities. Sun Shangxiang.
When I saw some people saying that they got it after smoking it more than a hundred times, Brother Kid became excited again. Anyway, he had already smoked it a hundred times. If he had smoked it dozens more times, he might have gotten it!
So the boy bought another 100 yuan phone recharge card.
After drawing out one hundred yuan again, Brother Kid still didn’t draw Sun Shangxiang.
At this time, seeing the dialog box flashing on the screen that the player had drawn Sun Shangxiang, Brother Kid had already started to take advantage of it, and he bought another 100 yuan phone card.
Three hundred yuan, still didn’t win, keep drawing!
The fourth time Brother Xiaozi came to the counter of the Internet cafe, even the network administrator couldn't stand it anymore.
"What game are you playing? You've already spent three hundred yuan in just a moment! Be careful, there are many scammers online, so don't be fooled!" the network administrator kindly reminded.
"I'm smoking Sun Shangxiang! I will definitely be able to pull it out this time." Brother Xiaozi said confidently.
After a while, Brother Xiaozi came to the network administrator for the fifth time to buy a card.
"You have already drawn 400 yuan. If you can't draw it, forget it. Stop drawing it! Maybe this is just to trick you into charging money, and you won't be able to draw it at all." The network administrator continued to advise. .
"No, there are many people who have drawn it! And if you draw it 888 times, you will definitely get Sun Shangxiang!"
"Then how many times have you drawn it now?" the network administrator asked.
"I've been slapped 400 times. If I stop now, the previous 400 times will be in vain!" The kid brother said with a proud look on his face.
The network administrator thought for a while, and it seemed that this was true. I couldn't let Brother Kid spend 400 yuan in vain, so he took the fifth phone card and handed it to Brother Kid.
Fortunately, Brother Kid’s luck didn’t carry him home. After more than 600 draws, he finally got Sun Shangxiang. But almost all of his New Year's money was spent.
When it comes to drawing cards, if you don't necessarily want to get a certain reward, it's best to play for a while and experience it before stopping as soon as possible.
What you’re afraid of in this way of playing is the top. Once you get the top, you won’t be able to stop at all!
The worst situation is that of the kid brother, who gets half the draw. Keep drawing, you may have to draw to the end to get the reward, but if you don't continue drawing, the previous draws will be in vain.
So many players will choose to bite the bullet and continue to draw, betting that they will get the next one. Game companies will make a lot of money from this.
……
During the Spring Festival of 2006, Yao Xiaoguang didn't go home at all. The days of staring at the running water dozens of times every day made Yao Xiaoguang feel very fulfilled.
During the Spring Festival, the activity of drawing cards to give away Sun Shangxiang brought a lot of turnover, which made Yao Xiaoguang immersed in the joy of defrauding his children's friends from their lucky money every day.
Except for the New Year’s Eve, first day, second day, and third day of the Lunar New Year, when everyone is busy visiting relatives and friends, the gaming turnover is not very high. On the other days, the gaming turnover is not much higher than usual. few. It has to be said that this kind of activity can indeed stimulate players' consumption. After all, there are only a few people who can stay rational, and most people are easily fooled.
Valentine's Day comes half a month after the Spring Festival. At this time, Yao Xiaoguang has already begun to wonder, which general should he draw during Valentine's Day, Zhen Mi? Cai Wenji? Or Big Joe?
But Zhang Wei did not stay in the capital to accompany Yao Xiaoguang to watch the daily income of the game. He bought a soft sleeper and returned directly to Qinhai to spend the New Year with his parents.
On the Weiguang Technology side, Yao Xiaoguang is watching, and Zhang Wei is not worried. The division of labor between the two people is that one contributes money and the other contributes effort. If he does not treat Yao Xiaoguang, the hard-working person, as a cow, he will feel sorry for Zhang Wei. out of money.
In addition, Zhang Wei also taught Yao Xiaoguang several tricks to make quick money. Zhang Wei believed that Yao Xiaoguang could definitely apply what he learned.
After all, he is the father of "Honor of Kings". When it comes to making money, Yao Xiaoguang must have great talent, and he may be able to draw inferences from one example soon.
In 2006, it was really difficult to buy train tickets for the Spring Festival, especially when Zhang Wei planned to go home, it was already the end of the twelfth lunar month, and it was even harder to buy a return train ticket.
After all, if you want to go to the sky, you just need to buy a plane ticket. In 2006, plane tickets were relatively expensive and there were few people flying. During the Spring Festival, it is much easier to buy a plane ticket than a train ticket.
Fortunately, there is such a thing as scalpers. You cannot buy train tickets from the ticket office, but you can buy them from scalpers!
And at that time, there were a lot of scalpers. For big sites like Beijing, the competition among scalpers was also fierce. The competition is fierce, but the service is good. Zhang Wei only increased the price by 30 yuan, and the scalper came directly to serve and delivered the tickets to Tsinghua University.
During the Spring Festival, while visiting relatives and friends, Zhang Wei enjoyed the treatment of "other people's children" and gained a lot of hatred from his cousins.
After the Spring Festival, Zhang Wei stayed at home for a few more days, and returned to the capital on the last day of returning to school.
In the evening before the start of school, Zhang Weicai walked into the dormitory. Ye Haotian was the only one in the dormitory.
"Where are the two of them? They won't come back later than me, right?" Zhang Wei casually threw a large bag of seaweed to Ye Haotian.
"Chen Ming and Xin Xiaoxuan haven't seen each other for more than 20 days, and they made an appointment to express their feelings to each other."
Ye Haotian opened the package as he spoke: "Ouch! There are also new flavors! Mustard cucumber flavor? Garlic oyster flavor? Why do you think this is a dark dish?”
“They haven’t seen each other for more than 20 days and they don’t know how to make calls! What a shame. Chen Ming appears to be autistic, but is actually a coquettish person!”
Zhang Wei curled his lips and then asked: "Where is Xiao Lu? Why isn't he here? He doesn't have anyone to talk to, right?"
"Did you pass by Zhongguancun North Street when you came?" Ye Haotian Chewing seaweed, he asked vaguely.
"I passed by, what happened?"
"Have you seen a Porsche 911, fly green, with an 'internship' sign on the back?"
“I didn’t see it.” Zhang Wei shook his head and then asked: “Are you talking about Xiao Lu?”
"Yes, if you want to see it, it must be him! During the winter vacation, he took a driver's license test and bought a Porsche 911 when he came back. He also told me that a man should have a Porsche. The key is that it is fly green, too. I don’t know how he has such a strange aesthetic.”
“What kind of green is fly green?” Zhang Wei asked.
"Yes! I took two pictures." Ye Haotian handed the phone to Zhang Wei.
"Uh, is it possible, this color is called graphite blue..."
"Is this blue? No matter how you look at it, it looks green!"
"Aren't you a little perverted?" Zhang Wei curled his lips and continued: "Xiao Gu has a bad habit. He just bought a new car and drove out in a wild car. How dangerous it is. What if he gets injured in a crash? Even if It's not good to hit flowers and grass. Let's talk about him when he comes back!"
"Drag racing? Do you have any misunderstandings about his driving skills? This guy just got his driver's license. You just made a clear distinction between braking and braking, right?"
Ye Haotian looked disdainful, and then said: "I rode in his car once during the day, and it was so slow. He didn’t dare to step on the accelerator the whole time and just kept running at idle speed. “If he wasn’t racing, then he was out practicing driving in the middle of the night?”
“He was just showing off! Walking back and forth on Zhongguancun North Street! There are universities on both sides of the road, which is enough for him to show off." Ye Haotian said.
"Sure enough, he is a pretender at heart!" Zhang Wei cursed secretly.
Ye Haotian continued: "By the way, there is one more thing. I almost forgot to tell you. The Department of Electronic Engineering will hold an anniversary celebration next month, and Dean Shen asked you to attend."
"I'm from the Department of Economics now, so I'm going to go and have fun at your Electronic Engineering Department's anniversary celebration!" Zhang Wei shook his head.
“Didn’t you also study in the Department of Electronic Engineering before?”
“Didn’t I get expelled from your Department of Electronic Engineering!”
"What? I'm still brooding about it now!"
Zhang Wei thought for a moment, then nodded: "What you said makes sense. If I don't go, wouldn't it look like I'm being petty, and I'm still brooding about it now?" Yu Huai, so I really have to go to this anniversary celebration!”
“I don’t want you to go in vain. I heard that several academicians will come, and there are also many successful people in the political and business circles. I will come to participate. Don’t underestimate our Electronic Engineering Department, there are so many talented people among our graduates!” Ye Haotian said.
"Nonsense, I have also been studying in the Department of Electronic Engineering for half a year. It's not like I have never seen those famous alumni photos hanging on the wall!" Zhang Wei paused and then asked: "By the way Are my photos still hanging on the wall?”
……
The Department of Electronic Engineering at Tsinghua University has a very long history. As early as 1932, Tsinghua University established the Telecommunications Group of the Department of Electrical Engineering, which was the predecessor of the Department of Electronic Engineering.
In 1952, Tsinghua University formally established the Department of Radio Engineering in the Telecommunications Group of the Department of Electrical Engineering. At that time, radio was a popular cutting-edge technology, so the Department of Radio became the most popular major at Tsinghua University.
Because this major is so popular, the best talents in the country will give priority to this major. Over the past half century, the Department of Electronic Engineering has trained many industry leaders.
Among the alumni of the Department of Electronic Engineering, there are politicians in high positions, academicians with fruitful achievements, and entrepreneurs who have achieved success. There are countless people who serve as executives or senior engineers in related companies.
When he arrived at the venue where the event was held, Zhang Wei glanced around and did not see Li Jian.
Zhang Wei pulled Ye Haotian over and asked, "Brother Haotian, isn't Li Jian from Shuimunianhua also from the Department of Electronic Engineering? Isn't he coming today? I plan to ask him for a photo and autograph."
"There seems to be no performance in today's event schedule! Brother Li Jian is an artist after all, and his schedule is quite busy. If there is no performance, he may not be able to come. I will ask you about it later!" Ye Haotian replied .
At this moment, Dean Shen Jiahai was seen walking over from a distance with a smile on his face.
"Zhang Wei, come with me, I will introduce you to a few academicians!"
The dean said, pulling Zhang Wei towards the VIP lounge at the back.
In the lounge, there were several old men sitting. Zhang Wei looked familiar to them. He had seen their photos on the wall of the Department of Electronics. They were all academicians.
In addition, there are a few middle-aged people. These people do not have the temperament of scholars, but have a sense of philistine smoothness. Zhang Wei guessed that these people should be successful entrepreneurs.
One of them, a short man with a round face and rimless glasses, directly confirmed Zhang Wei's guess.
"Isn't this Mr. Zhou from 360! Compared with more than ten years later, his appearance has not changed much!"
