Chapter 148: The Pink Legion

Due to well-known reasons, the sex ratio of our population has been in a state of more men than women for a long time, and this gap is still widening.

The imbalance in the gender ratio has led to many social problems, one of which is that women are more sought-after and sought after by men in most fields, and the same is true in the field of online games.

In the era when voice and video were not popularized, female characters in online games only needed to take a name copied in romance, bring a few more emojis when speaking, ask why when interacting with others, and pretend to be soft and silly.

If the female characters understand a little bit of men's psychology, give a little sweetness from time to time, be coquettish at every turn, and call a few words of "brother", "husband" or something, they can play the men on the other side of the screen, let them accompany them to upgrade, fight monsters, and accompany the next copy or something, it's just on call, like having an extra free labor.

What's more, under the name of women, they hovered between several male players, making them jealous of themselves, making them pay more time and equipment to please themselves, so as to make a profit.

Among them, the most powerful type can also use their online charm to enter the high-level organizations of male-dominated guilds and gangs, in which they hook up with each other, sow discord, fake tigers, and compete for power and profit, turning a good organization into a "palace scheming".

Behind these female characters, no one can tell whether it is a woman or not.

This is because not all female gamers play female characters, and not all of them are so feminine in online games.

Many times, it is men who understand men's psychology best, and only men will play the role of the soft girl that men want in their hearts.

Although there are no scientific statistics, in the vast majority of online game worlds, behind every female character with big wavelength legs, there may be a big man who picks his feet, using the softest tone to tease the male player on the other side of the screen.

This situation is universal, and even if someone wants to use voice and video to verify, it is not reliable.

Ren Pingsheng still remembers that the well-known female players in a certain online game, the beauties who have met and chatted with the main members of the guild, are actually just the girlfriends of the man behind the character in the game.

And those male players who admired this beauty, under the leadership of "her", attacked the city, conquered everything, and founded a brilliant game guild, only to know that they had been deceived for many years, and during this period, no one could see anything wrong.

This is the man, once they have the sperm in the brain, they will automatically lower their IQ and be harvested by those who have a heart.

This method of harvesting, although rather disgraceful, is effective.

Ren Pingsheng is not a pedantic person, and from a personal point of view, he disdains this harvesting method.

But if this harvesting method can make the results of "Ideal World" better and make Wanyou Games make more money, Ren Pingsheng will not hesitate to harvest it.

Therefore, under the auspices of Ren Pingsheng, Universal Games launched three major initiatives before the open beta:

The first step is to cultivate a gang of beautiful online games.

Through the gang system of Duole Games, well-known female online game organizations in China are invited to join "Ideal World", providing them with personal and convenient services, and introducing the unique pink gang names and pink robes of beautiful gangs in the game.

At the same time, Wanyou Games officially announced: Every female character with a pink robe is an officially certified beauty player.

After this initiative was announced, it quickly attracted the attention of many female online game enthusiasts, compared to other online games, "Ideal World" is too caring for female players, the conditions are too attractive, and this online game is very well-known during the internal test, if you can take the opportunity to hype, it will be good for improving the popularity of your organization.

In just a few days, there are "Fox Country", "Phantom Dancing Butterfly", and "Enchantress Troupe...... and other famous beauty online game organizations announced their entry into "Ideal World", and they have established a gang system on Dole Games, pasting refined photos of their members through the game's self-media, creating a scene of "beautiful women like clouds", so that "there are many beautiful players in the ideal world", "many beautiful women come to play the game "Ideal World" These rumors are circulating everywhere on the Internet.

After stirring up the heat through the "Beauty Gang", Wanyou Games added a fire at the right time and launched the second step of the measure-

Held the first "Ideal World Image Spokesperson" open talent competition. The slogan and advertisement with the slogan "Choose the ideal MM in your heart" occupied the front page headlines of 173, Duole Games, Xinlan Game Station and other websites in a few days.

2007 is the first year of talent shows in the domestic entertainment industry, large and small talent shows on TV are endless, thousands of girls who want to be famous have flocked to the talent show to sign up for the competition, and the talent show has become the best way for them to become famous overnight.

The draft of "Ideal World", launched at this time, although the object of the game is relatively niche, but Wanyou Games has made this event vigorous, and the little beauties who were brushed down in the big draft have also come to the door, and the number of people who signed up to participate reached thousands.

The photos of the shortlisted candidates are displayed on the official website of Universal Games in turn, further deepening the awareness of players and the market about this game.

But based on these alone, Ren Pingsheng felt that it was not enough, he still had a third hand to prepare.

Beautiful female players and draft beauties can only play a propaganda role, and if male players really want to get in touch with female characters in the game and enjoy the fun of interacting with women, a large number of female characters must appear in the game.

Therefore, the Red Pink Water Army came into being.

After the launch of the "Ideal World" open beta, male players who were aroused by beautiful players and draft beauties poured into the game, and while they admired the "Ideal World" game design so fun, they were also pleasantly surprised to find that there were so many girls in this game, and the tone of these girls was also very soft and cute.

It turns out that what the advertisement said is really not a lie, "Ideal World" really has a lot of beautiful women, this game is too fun, and this operator is too sincere.

Of course, these female characters were not born out of thin air, and everything was the result of Ren Ping's precautionary measures.

In 2005, some advertising people sensitively grasped the business opportunities of the Internet, and the profession of Internet water army came into being; by 2007, the Internet water army has gradually formed a group and a large scale; these water army is all over the world, some are college students, some are office workers, but they are also idle people who have a lot of free time at their disposal.

By registering a large number of forum accounts, according to the command of the online sailor leader, the water army increases the popularity of some forums and certain posts through clicks and replies and other methods, and collects remuneration at a price of about 5 cents per article.

And Ren Pingsheng used the free time of these water armies this time to let them play female players in "Ideal World" and accompany male players to play games, which is the origin of the "Red Pink Water Army".

Of course, this thing is not something that can be done by all games, and it is necessary to find a ready-made and powerful water army to carry it out, and Ren Pingsheng happens to know such a water army leader, that is, Cai Wensheng, who drank morning tea together in Lei Jun's villa.

As an Internet waverider with a keen sense of smell, Cai Wensheng has long been eyeing the water army, which has a low threshold, weak supervision, but great returns, he not only invested in a number of water army teams early, but also took the lead in cultivating a large number of Weibo accounts in the future wave of social media, and went the earliest and farthest on the road of monetizing public opinion.

And Lin Lisong, who was sent on a business trip by Ren Pingsheng during this time, was carrying out this secret but critical task.

In business, and an acquaintance in Lei Jun's network, Cai Wensheng quickly negotiated the price with Lin Lisong, and his sailors also cooperated with the launch in time, adding countless pink figures to "Ideal World".

"Ideal World" can be opened more, game characters can follow, and automatic battles can be used, which greatly facilitates the operation of the water army, a water army can operate 10 female characters at the same time, and earn at least 4 or 5,000 yuan a month, compared to a 5 cent post payment, Lin Lisong pays more for the water army.

The experience of playing the game is much better than boring posting, so Cai Wensheng's sailors are all actively engaged in the game.

In order to let the sailors master the skills of playing women, Lin Lisong compiled a dialogue technique and distributed it to them according to Ren Pingsheng's instructions, and the sailors can deal with about 10 male players at the same time, but the "pink effect" caused by them can be released thousands of times.

……

With the support of the production level of the game itself, driven by the good reputation formed during the internal test, and the three major measures of Ren Pingsheng's superposition, the open beta of "Ideal World" is really popular.

This fire is not a small fire, nor a large fire, but a very large fire.

On the day of the open beta, the game was crowded, and the first batch of 10 groups of public beta servers in 4 regions were filled up in 10 minutes, which made the logistics support department feel great pressure.

According to the statistics of the first week of the open beta, the total number of "Ideal World" servers reached 127 groups, and the number of simultaneous online users exceeded 400,000, which not only overwhelmed other new online games that were tested in the same period, but also caught up with mature online games that have been operated for a fee, and rushed into the top ten of the Chinese online game rankings.

At the same time, due to the craze caused by "Ideal World", a large number of photos sent by players quickly spread on social media, which drove the number of visits to Tole Games to rise like a rocket, and the ranking on ALEXA also increased by several places.

Whether it is Wanyou Games' office in Hanhai, ICG Capital's office in Yanjing, Tole Games' office in Huacheng, or Cai Wensheng's office in Ludao City, all the people who participated in and witnessed this grand occasion are excited about the good start of "Ideal World" and are full of confidence in the huge profits that this game will bring.

At the same time, an undercurrent is surging in a southern city and is about to move north.
