Chapter 166: A Big Cake

Some fruits are bred here, some flowers are blooming elsewhere, just when the life of the tenth middle school continues, Cheng Ran's career, the CQ virtual community is gaining momentum because of online graphics games.

"In today's national battle of "Spiritual Domain", according to the ranking, the first guild leader can get the Dragon Slaying Treasure Knife, Orange Martial Arts. The top ten are the Blue Soldiers of the third stage of the Heavenly Ladder, who have won the reward chest of the members of the Heavenly Castle, and have the opportunity to open purple weapons and a lot of goodies......"

"Isn't it, then after school this afternoon, hurry up and take advantage of the evening self-study to play for an hour! Eat at the Internet café, where to go?"

"I can only go to the house in Diagon Alley, there must be no seat in the Tianxing Gym! ”

"By the way, my card is almost gone, you lend me ten yuan, I will buy it today, and I will pay you back tomorrow. ”

"Can you last for an hour, now that the Rongcheng point card is out of stock, I ran a few newspaper kiosks yesterday, but none of them ...... I bought it at the software store in the Xinhua Bookstore in the back! It is said that they are all close to the software store, and many newspaper kiosks are out of stock now!"

"When is there a ......?"

"I'm talking about the eighteenth. Tomorrow will be there. ”

After class in the afternoon, a group of people gathered, some stood at the table, some were on the stool, and some simply sat on the table, at this time, the college entrance examination was still relatively far away, the return of Macao was the theme of the whole society, the song of the seven sons "Do you know that macau is not my real surname" was sung on the streets and alleys, and even the school also cooperated with the organization of the return chorus, and often saw the red faces of boys and girls on the side of the newspaper wall lined up to practice singing there under the leadership of the teacher.

The future is still relatively far away for everyone, and there are many students in the tenth middle school who study textbooks and devote themselves to studying, but there is also no shortage of students who carry their schoolbags to play football or go to Internet cafes whenever they have free time.

Zhang Ping's circles,The most popular one recently is the "Spiritual Domain" web game that has popped up in the Internet café,The game uses a new algorithm,It can accommodate many players to interact in the same area,In the past, basically the Internet café was a stand-alone game,"Spiritual Domain" is the first time to turn mud and other chat room-based mud games into visual graphics.

The game "Spiritual Domain" has great advantages, firstly, he does not use a client, he can interact directly through the web page, as long as there is a computer that can access the Internet, after opening the web page to load, enter the CQ account password can log in anytime and anywhere, and join the colorful journey of cultivating immortals with ink and wash style.

It's just that the game is charged according to the online time, and the 30 yuan point card is 120 hours. 15 yuan for 60 hours.

Zhang Ping turned his head at this time and asked Cheng Ran, "Are you going?" Really, I'll tell you, that game is super fun, everyone used to play stand-alone, and there were only a few people who played back and forth, and they were tired of playing on the LAN, but after playing this, it was like opening up a new world. Xiuxian, as soon as I came, I jumped off the cliff and took this secret, and as a result, I encountered a war between the Qingtong faction and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and whichever side you choose to join in the middle will affect your game direction and camp, and now the world war between the True Sect and the sect is in full swing, hurry up and join our sect together......"

Cheng Ran smiled, "What is the difference between the True Sect and the Sect?"

"This is the setting of the game.,True religion refers to the cultivators who seek the avenue.,They forget their feelings on the avenue.,The pursuit of cultivation into true immortals,'Heaven and earth are unkind to all things as dogs',I've heard it.,From the "Tao Te Ching", there are many sects in this camp, Qingshan Sword School, Changshengmen, Tianyi and so on. The sect is another direction, which is to maintain the balance of secular power, and pay attention to checks and balances, that is, to practice while not letting the secular world collapse. And the true religion doesn't matter, so there is a contradiction between the two sides, this is the background of the game, after the player joins one side, he automatically becomes a mortal enemy with the opposing camp, and the two sides will never die. It's also good to play every day, cultivate immortals, and plant fields. I eat steamed buns in the afternoon for several days, save a few meals, and have a card fee. Fortunately, now there is a fifteen yuan point card, sixty hours, I play on weekends, one hour a day, almost a month. ”

Of course, Cheng Ran knows these contents, because the entire game background framework was compiled by him, and as for the setting of the true sect and sect that Zhang Ping and they are talking about now, I am afraid that it will not be until the World of Warcraft is born four years later, and everyone will suddenly realize it...... Blizzard, you'll play the rest of this set!

CQ's virtual community, the Avatar project has not achieved much success, but the spiritual domain web game is very popular, and now there is a trend of attacking the city and grabbing the land in Internet cafes.

It is impossible for Cheng Ran to conquer a large-scale game now, and there is no need to be an agent, because the most important thing in the virtual community plan is to make CQ bigger, and the spiritual game is a link in the entire CQ chain, and it is also to accumulate some technical strength for CQ. Browser games can't be compared with client games in terms of graphics and sound effects, but Cheng Ranjian takes a biased approach and builds the game world in the style of ink 2D, so the effect is actually very amazing, so the CQ game technology department has undergone a reorganization, and hired a number of fine artists from Taiwan's game industry to join in with high salaries, and the effect is very much in the style of the stand-alone game "Xuanyuan Sword".

In terms of style, then the spiritual realm is actually attractive to the story and the core of the game. The conflict between the two camps constructs the world pattern and forms the main contradiction, which brings the source of the player's in-depth exploration and development of the world. Doing this can be said to be a fusion of Cheng Ran's imagination of the game all along, so there are many concepts from previous lives added. So in fact, the attraction and success of the spiritual realm is not the technical level, but these novel, novel, and advanced ideas from the future.

So now that Zhang Ping is discussing these with him, looking at Zhang Ping's group of people talking about it, Cheng Ran still has a sense of accomplishment, which can be regarded as a private survey of user feedback.

And at this time in China, graphic online games are definitely a big cake, and whoever gets it one step ahead of them will bite the biggest part of this cake. Not to mention, "King of Kings", "Magic Baby", "Stone Age", ...... Once launched, they are all princes who can definitely lay down a country, and they can make money and earn softly.

As long as the user experience is good, the game mechanics are good, and the graphics and sound effects are actually secondary to this. Just like some of these online games, even if the latecomers have better and better graphics, what 3D dazzling, known as the next-generation online games "Elf", "Lineage 2" and the like, they were only popular at the time, and in the end they are still sinking in front of the old games with rough graphics.

And the core game experience of the spiritual realm with Cheng Ran's checks, and even the UI interface, at least make Cheng Ran feel that he, a traverser with the soul of a previous life, can't put down this game. It's old-fashioned and trendy. This is probably the kind of game he expected.

Such a game will exist for many years and will have a very strong vitality. Even if the future is drowned in the tide of progress of the times, there will be many people who miss it.

"Why can't I buy a point card?Is the out-of-stock so serious?" Cheng Ran asked, in Li Mingshi's email, Cheng Ran seemed to have some impressions of this situation. The channel is slow to collect money, and it seems that the distribution of points and cards is also slow. He didn't care about this at first. In order to ensure the user experience of the game and the number of CQ users with the arrival of the new era, the cost of the server, as well as the cost of new recruits, are increasing rapidly.

If you use the income from the Tianxing Gym and board games to subsidize CQ now, it will not be able to make up for it, and the Spirit Domain has opened up a way to make money, and now it will be on the same level as the expenditure. If there is a problem with the income of the Spirit Realm, then it will start to have a negative surplus.

"You don't know how many people play, but the point card says that the software store sends very few to the newsstand, the newsstand I often go to, says that the spiritual point card is booming, when they go to the software physical store in charge of the agent to get the goods, they want them to match some game discs, only to distribute the goods! Zhang Xianxian of the newsstand said that the software is not easy to sell, she didn't dare to buy more, naturally the point card quota is less, I didn't expect it to be sold out so quickly, I had to hurry up to enter, and as a result, each point has a purchase quota, and if the quota is exceeded, it will not be given to you, because we all know that the spiritual point card is easy to sell, and other software stores prefer to keep the profits in their own stores!"

Saying that, Zhang Ping touched out his card again, although it was too valuable, but he put the card back in his pocket as if he was playing with a treasure, probably also wanting to learn from the society, and it seemed that he had some cards to show his identity.

Cheng Ran took the card in his hand, the red print, the card with a limit of 30 yuan, similar to the phone card Cheng Feiyang came out, PVC material, he pinched the card with his thumb and fingers, tapped the desk on the side, and every time he knocked on the card, it rotated with the movement of his fingers, making a crisp sound.
