Chapter 132: How Far the Mind Goes

The next day, not surprisingly, all the newspapers and magazines reported the news. Some have the title of "Heroes Are Sad to Beauty", and have reported on the relationship between Lin Feng and Li Zhiyou. Some used the title of ""Red Face and Troubled Water" to analyze the incident in depth and reprimand Lin Feng's unwisdom.

In short, all kinds of headlines have stirred up the matter, and even the media in Hong Kong have reported on the matter. Lin Feng also appeared in Hong Kong's Entertainment Weekly and other magazines again.

For the sake of a woman, he deceived the players, disregarding the company's reputation and future, and was also nicknamed "Red Pink Gate" by many media this time. However, unexpectedly, at the same time that many media and industry veterans were whipping, many women's magazines and women's websites supported Lin Feng, believing that Lin Feng is a man, and only such a man is worthy of a woman's life.

The two sides also launched a heated debate on this, each holding its own opinion, which can be described as noisy, but the happiest thing is the media, this time they made a lot of money, and the dividends at the end of the year have increased a lot. The only benefit to Lin Feng is that he has become a "celebrity" in the eyes of the media, and invisibly, whenever Lin Feng publishes a press conference in the future, he will attract many media support, which is an unexpected gain.

Although this matter is in a uproar in China, many players have lost much enthusiasm, and they have also thrown away the sense of loss in their hearts because the "Holy Goddess" is famous. After all, for them, gaming is king. Beauty, that is the spice of leisure time, although it is indispensable, but it is not a big meal. However, Lin Zhizhi and Huang Meixi's support rates have risen sharply, and they have surpassed Li Zhiyou for the first time and become the focus of players' attention.

As for the "second shijie" "deception door" incident this time, many players gradually understood Lin Feng in their hearts. First of all, Lin Feng's one-week free compensation has relieved them. Originally, for most players, this level 45 reward was already a chicken rib, and if it was gone, it would be gone. It's satisfying to get an extra week of free events.

Coupled with Lin Feng's sincerity, he did not choose to deceive players like other companies, and at this point, he won a lot of favor and recognition from players. For the sake of aiqing, for the sake of the beloved regardless of the company, deceiving the world, for players who often rush to the crown in the game and chase down the enemy for three thousand miles, this is not a big deal. If it were them, they would do the same.

That's how it should be, men!

Subsequently, the official website of "Second Shijie" announced a new expansion pack news material.

On the basis of the original Mengzhong Province, the map has been expanded by five times, and two new main cities that can be controlled by players have been added, and the original Shabak City has been added, making a total of three cities that can be controlled by players. In addition, the various NPCs of the city will be transferred to the three new cities, and each city will have different resources, and the map will become a map completely controlled by the player.

At the same time, the system promises that if there is a guild that unifies the three cities within a week and persists until the next week's system maintenance time, all members of the guild will receive a free upgrade to the system, and each member will be rewarded with a grand prize of 100,000 gold coins, and the guild president will receive a new title and a set of advanced equipment, and will have an exclusive interview with him in the next week's magazine.

At the same time, Lin Feng also announced that "Legend" will no longer open new servers, and will remain unchanged from the existing 48 servers, but will increase the load capacity of each server to ensure that 10,000 players online will not have network congestion. At the same time, it was also announced that the servers would be appropriately consolidated according to the actual situation.

The "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" expansion pack launched by Lin Feng is actually a guild war, especially when it was announced that no new servers will be added, in order to expand the scale of the guild war, hoping to attract more players to join the arms of "Legend" with a battle of 10,000 people. This is what Lin Feng also thought of after reading the project plan of "Journey". It can also be regarded as a warm-up for the concept of the 10,000-person battle of "Journey" in advance.

For this expansion, many players have expressed great interest. Obviously, the battle of 10,000 people imagined in the expansion has made the blood of many "Legends" players boil, especially since the alliance map now has a total of three cities that players can control, and the sense of accomplishment brought by unifying the three cities has also brought new excitement to many guild leaders.

How heroic the battle of 10,000 people!

A week later.

"How is the online rate of "Legend" this week?" is another week's regular meeting of "Second Shijie", Lin Feng asked.

"Despite the 'Deceptiongate' incident, since the release of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms expansion, the online rate of players has increased significantly, but this is also related to the fact that Legends is completely free this week. Wu Zhaopu said.

"Well, I believe that players will eventually return to the arms of Legends. Lin Feng nodded, he is still confident in this, especially the launch of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" expansion pack, I believe it will ignite the hope of galloping on the battlefield in the hearts of players. This is also a weapon for "Legend" to crack down on other online games in China today, a war of 10,000 people, which no other online game can do now.

As for whether it can break the previous online record of "Legend", it depends on the "City Battle" this weekend.

Mr. Lin, the highest number of online users of "Plants vs. Zombies" exceeded 1.4 million, once again refreshing the domestic record, and it is also the record of Shijie online games. Fang Zhihang, deputy minister of Jishu who is in charge of "Plants vs. Zombies", said with a happy face.

However, after that, Fang Zhihang had a sad face again, "Now there are players who have rushed to the fifth level, but we have no clue about the map and game mode of the sixth level, and I hope that Lin Dong can guide the maze." ”

The others in the meeting also looked at Lin Feng. For the sixth level of "Plants vs. Zombies", everyone is trying to break their heads, but they still don't have too many ideas. The ideas put forward by everyone brainstorming are always similar to the previous five levels, and the reason why "Plants vs. Zombies" can dominate now is that the gameplay and map of each level are different, which always gives players a sense of freshness, which has always attracted players.

For example, in the fifth level, the map is set with four entrances and exits, and zombies will enter from one entrance and exit at random, and players will have to rearrange the plants and adjust their orientation according to the different entrances and exits of the zombies, in order to organize the zombies. This is a completely different level from the previous four levels, and it also made the number of online users of "Plants vs. Zombies" reach a new peak, and finally reached a terrifying data of 1.4 million. But at the moment, if there is no new idea in the sixth level, it will inevitably greatly reduce the enthusiasm of players, which is extremely disadvantageous for casual online games that can only be popular for a while.

Lin Feng looked at the ideas that everyone in his hand had come up with, and put himself in the player's shoes, and also thought that these new levels were not very attractive, and they were very different from the new gameplay methods and novelties of each level that had been officially advertised before, which would definitely disappoint players. To disappoint players is to oppose profit.

But how to set the game mode in the sixth level?--Lin Feng also frowned, the first five levels basically exhausted all the available ideas, and then it was too difficult to adopt completely novel ideas, after all, the game was basically set here, and no major changes could be made. But even if Lin Feng wanted to change it, it would be impossible now. Players who are used to the current interface will definitely not buy it if they are faced with a completely new interface. This one is too risky to be worth the risk.

Hey, that's right!--Lin Feng suddenly had an idea in his mind.

"Since there are no new ideas, why don't we let the player play as a zombie and think about how to break through the plant's defenses in 100 rounds. Lin Feng said.

When everyone heard this, a flash of inspiration flashed in their minds, and after thinking about it carefully, they thought that this idea was really great. Previously, players were thinking about how to organize zombies, but now they are empathetic, and players play zombies to think about how to break through the defense, which can definitely bring players a new experience.

"Also, as for the placement of plants, I think the number of defensive formations introduced in the magazine through 100 rounds can be a target for us to learn from. Allowing players to break through the successful defenses of many masters or masters in the past, I think it will make players feel more successful. Lin Feng pushed a magazine with a detailed analysis of the defensive formation of each level to Fang Zhihang.

"Yes, Mr. Schelling. I think that in the next four levels, I will definitely make players deeply immersed in it, and I will definitely make the highest number of online users reach a new high. Fang Zhihang said confidently.

"Okay, now let's talk about the new game I'm going to represent in the U.S. this time, Counter-Strike Online. This topic should have been discussed at the meeting a long time ago, but it was delayed by the previous "Deception Gate" and the release of the new "Legend" expansion, so it has not been on the agenda.

After everyone took the relevant information and read it, they unanimously agreed with this game, and believed that it will become popular in the domestic online game industry, and it will be able to achieve better results at that time. Now there is no first-person shooter online game in China, and "Counter-Strike" is popular in China, and domestic players are obsessed with it, if "Counter-Strike Online" is launched at this time, it will definitely be very popular.

Everyone began to discuss some details, but Lin Feng was slightly disappointed, obviously everyone ignored their intentions and their eyes were too narrow.

"Knock, knock, knock" Lin Feng knocked on the table, quieting the hot conference room.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time I have been given the agency authority for the Asia-continent-region. Lin Feng specially accentuated the pronunciation of the Asian region.

"Mr. Lin, let's explore the domestic market first, after all, we are familiar with the domestic market. Then we can develop the Korean market, then we can move to the Japanese market, and even slowly develop other online game markets such as India, which are not too developed. Wu Zhaopu didn't know why Lin Feng was so anxious, afraid that Lin Feng wanted to open up three markets at the same time, so he hurriedly persuaded him.

Lin Feng shook his head helplessly, it seems that the recent smooth sailing of the domestic market has made everyone narrow-minded, only focusing on the domestic market. It is true that the cake of the domestic market is huge, but only making money from domestic players is not called ability, and it is called ability to earn all shijie players' money.

Lin Feng sighed, and everyone's hearts were cold. Often when Lin Feng sighed, it meant that they had omitted or forgotten something, and everyone hurriedly re-read the plan, but they didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.

Could it be that Lin Dong is really too ambitious this time, and wants to expand the company to foreign countries in advance? -- Everyone was skeptical. Now the company's development momentum is strong, and it is also in the limelight in China, but its domestic status is not solid, especially the "system collapse caused by the golden finger and the integrity problem brought by the quasi-stand-alone game" that may break out at any time, all of which require the company to be vigilant. At this time, it is a bit hasty and unwise to expand the company into Asia. People want to be stable.

Lin Feng saw everyone's expressions and knew what everyone was thinking, so he sighed secretly.

"The market can be as big as it is when it looks far. Lin Feng knew that he had to wake up these people, "I don't want to open up the multi-party online game market at the same time, but to make this "Counter-Strike Online" a game that can be interconnected in multiple countries, and I hope that in the future, whether it is China, South Korea, or even Japan or other Asian countries, players can play games on the same network through this online game." ”

Lin Feng's voice landed, and everyone exclaimed in unison! Everyone looked at each other, and while being shocked, they deeply admired the boss's thoughts. If it does, it could usher in a new era of online gaming.

He is not from the same century as us, he belongs to the next century - everyone is amazed.
