Chapter 453: The game is open

Early in the morning, Wang Ming walked into the building, and just after entering the door, he found that many people looked at him differently than before.

"Teacher Qingbai, good morning. ”

"Did the teacher have breakfast, this is my daughter-in-law's steamed buns in the morning......"

Security, front desk, cleaning aunt...... It's as if everyone has changed overnight, and it's so uncomfortable. After a few polite words with everyone, Wang Ming hurriedly hid in the elevator. He sighed heavily, and without thinking about it, he knew that it must have been because of this morning's news.

A third of the news this morning was spent reporting on Qingbai. With the total ratings of the four "Fate" titles exceeding 30%, and "Fate Grand Order" surpassing 100 million views within one hour of its release, the game is likely to set a record for sales, and the host also jokingly called himself a knight fan, saying that this year is the year of fate.

Most of these people are older, most of them are poor or idle old people, and they rarely pay attention to the new culture of the second dimension, and the ordinary channels for them to understand the world are the three major news. This morning, the beautiful host of the morning news used 9 minutes and 37 seconds to introduce "Fate" and Qingbai, and finally let them understand who Qingbai is.

It was close to ten minutes of coverage, but apart from the major events that affected the whole country, only a few people were treated. Several of them are the CEOs of Penguin.com, business tycoons of the Dragon Kingdom, and world-class writers.

Could it be that Wang Ming is already on the same level as these people? is so young and promising, everyone's eyes light up when they see him, thinking about which school-age girl in their own family can introduce to the boss, maybe she will fly to the branch and become a phoenix in the future.

Wang Ming came to the entrance of the game department, and before he stepped in the door, he heard cheers from inside.

"Haha, we made it!"

"That's right, you don't know, my parents watched the morning news this morning, and their eyes changed when they looked at me, and my mom asked, 'Is this the game you developed, son?', and even my old-fashioned dad praised me a few times. ”

"You can earn a big face for your father, your father wants to show off his son in front of his old comrades, but it's not a day or two. ”

"It's all the credit of Mr. Qingbai, without the popularity of "Fate", we wouldn't have this opportunity. ”

Hearing everyone's joyful voices, Wang Ming walked into the room with a smile and said with a smile: "The game is not something that can be done by one person, the credit belongs to everyone." ”

"Teacher Qingbai!"

"Teacher Qingbai ......"

Seeing the arrival, the employees who were scattered in their respective positions stood up together to greet Wang Ming, and many of them had gratitude in their eyes. Although the game industry is related to computers, there is always a feeling of inferiority when it comes to saying it, and some parents will say that my child is in the IT industry, not the game industry, and this is the biggest difference. Now, everyone has shown their faces on the morning news, and their hearts are full of gratitude to Wang Ming, and the team has a sense of belonging for the first time.

A short-haired girl with thick glasses pulled a chair from the side, Wang Ming thanked him and sat down, and then asked, "How are the game sales?"

After the news aired in the morning, Wang Ming hurriedly ran out of his house, he was afraid that he would be blocked by reporters if he moved slowly, so he hadn't looked at the computer yet, and he didn't know what the game sales were.

Of the 13.27 million pre-registered accounts, 43.7% of the players have paid the final payment, including 230,000 players who have purchased all DLC and 8,326 players who have purchased the exclusive game login for Fate Grand Order. It was still this short-haired girl with thick glasses, she picked up a report from the table next to her and said: "The total sales have exceeded 8 billion." ”

"8 billion?"

Wang Ming glared at him and said in shock: "You can't say one more zero, how can it be so much, how much is the price of the game?"

Wang Ming is not clear about the game's pricing. Recently, he has been busy making "Fantasy Front", and all the game matters are left to Zhou Haomiao to decide. In his imagination, a game that earns more than 100 million is considered the world's top game, and the total sales of "Fate stay night", which sold 60 million units, are only more than 10 billion, is the price of this game tens of thousands?

At this time, an unkempt young man walked out of the office, and at the first glance of him, Wang Ming couldn't recognize that this person would be his roommate Zhou Haomiao. He didn't care about everyone's attention, Shi Shiran explained: "The price of this game is 1200 yuan, the price of the first phase of the full DLC is 233 yuan, and the price of the exclusive game login with the "Fate Grand Order" logo is 20000 yuan, which is not high. ”

Wang Ming was dumbfounded, isn't this price high? The full set costs 21,433 yuan, which is almost equal to the salary of the company's employees for one and a half months.

Zhou Haomiao continued: "Have you forgotten? Our game is a one-shot deal, except for the sale of character clothing DLC in the game store, there is no charging item, which means that we will compress all the revenue in the next few years into a very short cycle, if you divide this income by three, do you still think it is a lot?"

That's not much. The sales of "Fate stay night" have broken the 10 billion mark in two years, and "Fate Grand Order" is a VR game, the high price is inevitable, and the game itself can be used permanently as long as it is purchased once, so this price is not unacceptable. Moreover, DLC and exclusive logins are not necessary to buy, and the popular logins can also be used, and now the cheapest login is only more than 6000 points, and it may be as low as about 2000 if it is second-hand;

Calming down, Wang Ming began to ask about the operation and development of the game.

"The focus of the next work is to focus on "Fantasy Front", the game will be released during the National Day, and there are still three months to go, and the time is very tight......

After explaining, Wang Ming took an activation code that purchased the full DLC and left. Wang Mingcai is not afraid that someone will say behind his back that he plays games during work hours.

After logging in to Steam, entering the activation code, and connecting to the exclusive login, Wang Ming attached the electrodes to the back of his neck and put the elastic induction collar on his head...... Once everything is dressed, connect to the game and begin.

The character was born on a train bound for Chaldea, and there will be a conductor on the train to briefly introduce the gameplay to the player, after the player listens, you can receive a summoning material for the servant, if you don't listen, you will get a random summoning material, and a small probability of getting the ruler or average summoning material.

As a game developer, Wang Ming doesn't know the gameplay of the game well, at least it is unsurpassed, so he chose to leave the carriage and skip the introduction directly.

However, what he didn't expect was that he actually obtained a summoning material.

"I guess I'm not cheating, am I?"
