Silicon Valley

The next morning, Henry watched Bob Dole leave and murmured: "If he knew that the real mastermind behind the '9.11' incident was me, I don't know what he would think, hehe..."

Henry then returned to the hall and sat beside the classical European-style fireplace while cooking while reading a book.

Henry's brain was extremely active, just like a scanner. He glanced at a page, and in a short while, he read a thick book of several hundred pages of biotechnology. On his right hand side, there are fifty or sixty books stacked up like a hill. Most of these works are on biotechnology and artificial intelligence. Although Henry himself is already a senior expert in these two areas, it is good to learn from others and learn a little more.

God gave Henry a talent far beyond ordinary people. If he didn't use it, wouldn't it be a waste?

History is changing little by little, and only knowledge is Henry's greatest wealth and support. He has to rely on his talent to become a scientist and develop better technology. Tony Stark, the protagonist in Marvel's "Iron Man", is a genius of invention, but Henry thinks that he should be more genius than Tony Stark! Tony Stark can develop artificial intelligence programs and steel suits, and so can he.

There is a large personal laboratory in the basement of Williams Manor, where Henry sometimes goes to do some research. Before Bob Dole came, Henry lived in the manor and did not go out. Princess Ulysses had already returned to England, Carina was preparing for the Asian financial crisis, and Helen was busy with the film company.

Previously, Helen failed to acquire Shogakukan and Shueisha in Japan, mainly because the Japanese government intervened. Comics are one of Japan's pillar industries and will never be allowed to be acquired by foreigners. Today, Kaelina is already the queen of the investment world, a powerful businessman, and a illustrious name. But Helen can't be too bad, so Henry asked her to take over the Galaxy Film Company and be the queen of the film industry. Former Galaxy Films CEO Bobby Robin took over ABC.

Henry can only be at home alone. How can I pass the time? It's just a matter of immersing yourself in research.

On November 1st, the WCG competition began to register. The registration method is to log in to the registration area of ​​the Firefly game platform.

The prize money for this competition is $2 million for the champion, $1 million for the runner-up, and $500,000 for the third. Due to the high prize money, it attracted many people to sign up for the competition. Among them, South Korea has the largest number of participants. "StarCraft" is a mess in South Korea, and all Internet cafes are playing "StarCraft". Therefore, many masters have also been born. In the previous life, from the first WCG "StarCraft" in 2000, until 2011, when StarCraft 2 replaced StarCraft 1 as a WCG competition event, the WCG champions were all Korean players. "StarCraft" can be called a national game in South Korea!

There are also a lot of people playing "StarCraft" here in China, and there are also many masters.

As soon as they heard that the winner of the competition had $2 million, everyone became frenzied. 2 million US dollars is equivalent to more than 16 million RMB. To win the championship is enough for a lifetime.

In China, parents are strongly against playing computer games. However, this bonus came out. The parents were shocked. It turned out that the game was so well played that it made so much money...

"Son, have you signed up for the WCG competition?"

"Nope!"

"Then sign up now!"

"But... the college entrance examination is going to be next year?"

"Stupid boy, is it important to have 16 million yuan in the college entrance examination? Didn't you say that your game playing skills are the best, no one can beat you?! You go to sign up for the competition, our whole family supports you!"

He patted his son's shoulder and said earnestly, "Remember to play well, be careful and serious, don't be nervous!"

...

November 15 WCG official game.

The competition is divided into preliminary rounds, semi-finals, and finals. The way of the preliminary round is to randomly select opponents through the Firefly game platform, and select the 100 strongest players in each country. In the semi-finals, the players go to the competition area set by each country to compete, and finally select 3 opponents to participate in the finals. The finals will be held at the headquarters of Firefly Games.

In this cold winter, the game is in full swing.

At this time, the attention of the entire game industry has shifted to the WCG competition.

The prize money for WCG competitions is so high that players who didn't play StarCraft in the past have followed suit. According to the statistics of Firefly Games, the number of new players in the WCG competition has exceeded 10 million from registration to selection.

The reason why the number of players has skyrocketed is that the bonus is undoubtedly the most attractive place for them. In addition, people have a kind of herd mentality. Everyone else is playing this game. If you don't play, won't you be out? So, also joined the ranks of the game.

This time, Firefly Game Company, as the organizer, can be regarded as a big show, and its popularity has skyrocketed. The most recent major game magazines are basically WCG and Firefly!

Firefly Games held a press conference to continue to add fire.

"Next year, several games under Firefly Games will be added to the WCG competition, and the prize money for each competition will not be less, at least more than two million US dollars! Therefore, Firefly Games is a game that can make you money!! !"

This is simply a naked temptation! Which player doesn't hear it?

The Firefly Games Company offers such a high bonus, its purpose is to develop WCG into a World Cup in the game industry! As the organizer, the influence it has will be enormous! This time, there is only "StarCraft", but it will increase every year, and there will be "CS", "Warcraft", "Age of Empires", "DOTA", "LOL" and so on in the future... As the scale of the competition increases The more you come, the more popular it will be. On the one hand, it can promote the development of the game, on the other hand, the viewing rate of the game is high, and the naming rights, advertising fees, and broadcast fees are very expensive. At the same time, some new industries were born, such as game commentators.

Soccer World Cup, Rugby Super, Olympic Games, etc. Every time they hold a tournament, they earn billions or even tens of billions of dollars. WCG should also be able to do it. Therefore, the bonus in the early stage is considered an investment. As long as the reputation is big and the ratings are high, the money will naturally come in.

On December 20, the WCG competition ended. However, what left Henry speechless was that the top three were all divided up by South Korea.

On the podium, the South Korean champion said proudly: "The game level of "StarCraft" is the first in Korea, and players from other countries are vulnerable. If anyone is not satisfied, you are welcome to challenge me at any time!"

The players present heard it, and immediately gritted their teeth, but at the same time they were ashamed. There is indeed a gap between their strength level and the Korean champion masters. If they challenge him, they can only bring their own humiliation.

However, Henry couldn't stand it anymore, he had abused South Korea for a long time.

Henry narrowed his eyes and said with a disdainful smile: "Since you are so arrogant, don't blame my brother for killing you!"
