This is not a BUG, ​​this is a game feature

Chapter 68 Fairyland Digital
Nine o'clock in the morning, Tianba Studio.

As soon as Xiao Lu opened the door, he saw Brother Ba holding a paper knife and scratching at a large cardboard box with the word AMD printed on it.

"What is this?"

"The test graphics card sent by Su's mother is said to be the mysterious 7000 series that has not been released yet." Chen Ba continued to unbox it without raising his head.

New 7000 series card?
When Xiao Lu heard this word, he immediately became interested. He walked to Chen Ba and asked, "Hasn't the RX7000 series graphics card not been released yet? How come it was sent to us?"

"Then who knows!"

After a lot of effort, Chen Ba finally tore off the tape, took out the foam padding from the box, and placed a crudely packaged graphics card in front of his eyes to look at it carefully.

It’s really a 7000 series!

And the cards sent this time are the top-notch RX7900XTX and RX7900XT.

"What is the suffix XTX?"

Xiao Lu felt confused about the naming method of adding an X after XT and didn't understand the difference between the two cards.

"The positioning and specifications are different."

Chen Ba didn't bother to delve into the naming method of the A card. Anyway, it was a new card. Su Ma's level would not be enough to issue him a second-hand card.

Handing the RX7900XT to Xiao Lu, Chen Ba warned: "Take it for a run on the Road to Immortality, and focus on observing the game performance and power consumption."

"Ok!"

Xiao Lu held the new graphics card in his arms and ran to test it.

Chen Ba did not follow him, but sat down on the engineering chair, frowning and thinking about the origin and handling of these A-cards.

AMD suddenly came to visit, hoping that Tianba Studio would cooperate with their new graphics card game performance test. The advantage is this box of new graphics cards.

This is exactly the same as Lao Huang.

When developing the game "Star Emperor", Chen Ba didn't get anything else, but the warehouse was full of graphics cards.

There are N cards, A cards, public versions, and co-branded ones from DaRenShuo, QiPieHong, and ShuiXing...

With so many graphics cards, even if they were used in their studio, they could only use a few of them, and most of them were thrown into the warehouse without being opened and gathering dust.

Pity!
How about reselling it?
But in name, it is a card given to Tianba Studio by the graphics card manufacturer to test game performance. If it is resold, will people be angry about it?
Chen Ba vaguely felt something was wrong.

But with so many graphics cards, you will definitely not be able to use them all. It would be a pity to leave a brand new one unopened and gather dust in a warehouse.

Either send it back or resell it.

Electronic products will depreciate, and they will depreciate very quickly, so these graphics cards really can't be left in the warehouse to gather dust.

He decided to say hello to these graphics card manufacturers, mainly to explain the situation and ask for their opinions.

The first is to hit Renshuo.

When Chen Ba contacted the other party and expressed his thoughts, the other party didn't care and said he could sell it if he wanted to. If there wasn't enough, he could get the goods from them!
"what?!"

Chen Ba was shocked.

It was normal for the other party to allow him to resell these graphics cards. After all, they had all been given away and they shouldn't care what others did with them.

But what does it mean if you can get goods if you don’t have enough to sell?
"We are a game studio, not a graphics card dealer!"

Chen Ba felt that he had been insulted, so he asked the other party angrily: "Are you serious? What do you think of the price? Can it be cheaper?"

Ahem!You want to make money to support the team, don’t be shabby!
Tianba Studio and Darenshuo have a good relationship with each other through the cooperation of co-branded graphics cards, so Chen Ba can pick up the goods from each other at a more favorable price.

This gave him an idea.

The servers of "Star Emperor" need to be maintained, but the in-app purchase of krypton gold has not yet opened up. It is better to open an online store and sell graphics cards to support the family through relationships with major graphics card manufacturers.

“Since there is no way to stop players from earning money for hardware, we will develop new channels for earning money!”

Chen Ba gritted his teeth and instructed Yang Dong: "When our online store is launched, remember to copy the store template into the game."

Players don’t want to cut the Origin Stone and don’t want to make money?
good good!
Then I don’t sell values, I don’t sell skins, I just sell graphics cards, right?

"The idea is feasible, but... aren't we a game studio? How can we open an online store and start selling graphics cards?" Yang Dong was speechless.

"That makes sense!"

Chen Ba clapped his hands and said after a moment: "Normally, we can support the server by selling skins."

"But is "Star Emperor" normal? Do you think these players will pay for skins? They only pay for graphics cards! In order to support the server, this is the only way to do it!"

As he talked, Chen Ba suddenly became excited.

Although a game studio does not engage in in-game purchases but opens an online store to sell graphics cards, the more it sounds, the more abstract and absurd it becomes.But I have to say that Tianba Studio has great advantages!
Based on their relationships with various graphics card vendors, what kind of products can’t be obtained?
Other dealers can only sell cards of one brand in the store. As a "relationship account", Tianba Studio can sell all cards regardless of brand, whether it is A card or N card.

Are you not satisfied?
If you are not satisfied, go to the graphics card manufacturer, or if it doesn't work, go to Lao Huang and Su Ma, who sell chips, and let them do justice.

Will graphics card manufacturers watch the service of "Star Emperor" cease?
Do you understand the relationship between households?
Besides, Tianba Studio is only doing this business on a small scale. They just want to make a little money to support the game "Star Emperor".

Chen Ba doesn't think that opening this store will create much revenue for the studio. At most, it will only spread the server operation and maintenance costs.

But that's enough.

As long as this online store exists, even if the players of "Star Emperor" don't spend any money, there will be no risk of the server being stopped and they can continue to operate healthily.

"Then I'll submit the information right now."

"Don't worry!"

Holding out his hand to stop Yang Dong, Chen Ba said speechlessly: "I haven't told you yet, what is the name of this store?"

"Oh, right!" Yang Dong suddenly realized, "Have you decided on a store name?"

"Think about it, Immortal Digital!"

Chen Ba expressed his thoughts and said: "Get someone to design the store template and create several sections: Immortal Emperor's Choice, Immortal King's Choice, True Immortal's Must-Have..."

Don't do it, Emperor Supreme.

You won't make much money selling a graphics card of this level, it's just a waste of time.

Since the name of the store is Xianyu Digital, the graphics cards sold must be the best of the best, at least the kind that can become immortals on Chengxian Road.

"correct!"

Chen Ba seemed to have thought of something, and warned: "Every customer who places an order at Fairyland Digital will receive a CDkey activation code for "Star Emperor" as a gift."

How much does a game cost?
deliver!Can send!
You have spent money in Immortal Domain Digital, so you obviously have the "qualifications to become an immortal."It would be a pity for a young prodigy like you not to be sent to hone your skills on the road to immortality.

Buying a graphics card and getting a game for free should be considered as attracting new players to "Star Emperor" to prevent the game from becoming obsolete after a while.
