Chapter 332: The Wrath of the Lich King (Part ) When Pacific Books Network completed the first round of testing, Liu Hongmin stopped paying much attention. The general framework had been completed, and as long as it was improved according to the current framework, there would not be too many problems. Whether it is senior executives or technical personnel, they are all leaders in the Internet industry. They understand the current Internet environment better than Liu Hongmin and are fully capable of handling detailed work. Liu Hongmin focused more on helping Liu Hongying clean up the toy factory and how to undermine the Japanese. The reason why the executives of the toy factory surrendered so easily was because Liu Hongmin had been helping them behind the scenes. Pengcheng is close to Hong Kong, and Liu Hongmin could reach out to the toy factory at any time and put an end to all the thoughts of resistance. Zou Shifang acquired more than 20 factories from the Japanese, including a motorcycle factory. For the Japanese, motorcycles had already entered the stage of obsolescence, but for the mainland, motorcycles had just entered the historical stage. In the mainland these days, cars are the highest-end means of transportation, and only a few people can afford them. Bicycles are gradually being phased out and replaced by motorcycles. Especially in big cities, almost all working families ride motorcycles. The bicycles they discarded were given to their children. The real area where bicycles took over was the vast rural areas. According to the current market, there is a shortage of at least 300 to 500 million motorcycles. They will gradually be replaced by cars after the new century. The Japanese obviously knew this situation, so they offered a high price. However, Liu Hongmin still took it, brought the motorcycle factory back to China, and produced civilian motorcycles in the factory to create economic value.
Then, with the technology of the motorcycle factory, a motorcycle research institute was established in Fengtian to study military motorcycles. The military and police departments of the three northeastern provinces immediately placed orders for some sidecar motorcycles to enhance the mobility of the military and police. The sidecar technology was readily available, and after some improvements were made by the research institute, a small motorcycle factory was immediately established to improve the sidecar motorcycles. In addition to sidecar motorcycles, the institute also researched police motorcycles. Not only did they enhance the functions of the motorcycles, but they were also equipped with alarms and walkie-talkies. They were basically manufactured according to the standards of later traffic police motorcycles. The most important research of the institute is the all-terrain vehicle, which is for military use. Liu Hongmin planned to complete part of the idea in the conversation with Professor Li. The Bobcat will definitely not be developed. The all-terrain vehicle of the institute is similar to Harley's four-wheeled motorcycle, which is specially used for mountain single-soldier combat. During the second round of testing on Pacific Book Network, Richard called. "Mr. Liu, at the current rate, the book website will be officially launched at the end of the first quarter or the beginning of the second quarter of next year. Pacific has prepared thousands of dollars for advertising, but they feel it is still not enough." "What do you need me to do?" Liu Hongmin asked directly. Richard: "They think that if your book can be first published on the book website, it will bring a large number of customers to the book website. We at Random House think so too, and we have also taken your losses into consideration, so this time we are prepared to give you 25% of the royalties." Liu Hongmin was very satisfied with Random House's sincerity. After all, Pacific Book Network was controlled by Random House. If they wanted Liu Hongmin's help, they had to show sincerity. 25% royalties are unprecedented, and such royalties may be more than what Random House, the publisher, earns. However, in order for BookNet to quickly occupy the market, Random House can still afford some benefits. What's more, Liu Hongmin has helped the book network so much. The creativity of the point card system alone can bring countless benefits to the book network. Moreover, this was only a one-time exception. If there was no significant exchange of interests in the future, they would never give Liu Hongmin such high royalties again. "Okay! I'm preparing some copies of The Matrix Revolutions..." Richard smiled awkwardly. "Mr. Liu, The Matrix series is indeed a good book, but it lacks commercial appeal. So, we hope that the new book will be the latest series of World of Warcraft, and it would be best if Arthas is the protagonist. If Arthas cannot be the protagonist, then at least he should make an appearance." Liu Hongmin thought about it and realized that the next series of World of Warcraft would also be about the conquest of the Lich King. "Okay! Then it will be the latest series of World of Warcraft. Arthas will appear as the final villain." "Great!" Richard said happily, "With the latest series of World of Warcraft and the appearance of Arthas, the book website will surely develop rapidly." Liu Hongmin: "Then wish us success!" “I wish you success!” After hanging up the phone, Liu Hongmin pulled up the outline of the World of Warcraft series.
There are too many side quests in World of Warcraft, and Liu Hongmin can't write them all. There are many classic dungeons in the vanilla period that have not been written. But novels are not games after all, so they can't all be written out, otherwise it will be very dragged out. This time is still the case. Liu Hongmin is going to write the story of "Wrath of the Lich King", which is still divided into three parts: upper, middle and lower. The first part, "Gate of Wrath", tells the story of the Alliance and the Horde forming an alliance to fight against the Lich King Arthas. The Silver Dawn sent a letter of help to the Alliance and the Horde. In order to fight the common enemy, both sides sent elite troops and gathered in the East Wilder area. Under the command of Tirion Fording, they boarded Naxxrasma and launched an attack on the air fortress. They killed all the undead in Naxxramas, including Kel'Thuzad, and cleansed them. Finally, Kel'Thuzad's phylactery was given to the high priest Father Inigo Montor for safekeeping. However, the high priest Father Inigo Montor was a traitor. He fled to the northern continent of Northrend with Kel'Thuzad's phylactery and eventually brought it to Arthas. Sitting on the high frozen throne, Arthas slowly woke up after hearing the news of Kel'Thuzad's death. He raised Frostmourne and summoned countless undead from under the frozen earth, preparing to reconquer Lordaeron. He resurrected Kel'Thuzad and asked him to lead the team to retake Naxxramas. He also sent Darion Mograine to form an order of death knights and train them in the aerial fortress of Acherus. When Arthas led the army to the seaside and prepared to march into Lordaeron, scouts discovered a group of newly awakened Vrykul. After investigation, it was found that these Vrykul originally had eternal life, but later they were cursed with flesh and blood and had to hibernate. Arthas took advantage of their desire for immortality and gave them a guarantee that they could gain immortality. So these Vrykul joined the Scourge and served Arthas. (End of this chapter)
