Chapter 14: Tetris is on fire! (Above)

"Finally hit 500 points!"

In the room, Luo Xu, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, suddenly raised his head and exhaled a long breath, the expression on his face was very excited, looking at the Tetris handheld in his hand as if he was looking at some priceless treasure.

He subconsciously raised his head to look at the clock hanging on the wall, but was shocked to find that it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon!

If it weren't for the sound of "goo~~" in his stomach at this moment, he even wondered if his wall clock had stopped at three o'clock yesterday afternoon.

Luo Xu shook his head, looked at the position of the sun outside the window, and confirmed that it was indeed more than three o'clock in the afternoon.

The game of "building blocks" directly made him play from 7 o'clock in the morning to 3 o'clock in the afternoon, which is almost unimaginable!

And yet it happened!

Luo Xu looked at the Tetris handheld in his hand, the smile on his face became more and more vigorous, and finally he laughed directly.

"The designer of this game is an absolute genius!! Absolute genius!! ”

It is a seemingly simple game of "building blocks", but it contains countless different variations, each of which may lead to a completely different ending.

And this game isn't just a simple elimination, it even includes a little bit of a scoring strategy to choose from.

You know, out of the seven types of blocks that can be dropped, the longest is a strip of four blocks in length, which means that you can theoretically eliminate up to four blocks at the same time when you are ready!

Eliminating one layer of blocks at the same time is worth 1 point, two layers are worth 2 points, three layers are 4 points, and four layers are 8 points, which is directly doubled compared to the score obtained by eliminating four layers in batches!

If you want to score as soon as possible, then the player needs to accumulate a few layers in the early stage and not eliminate them, and wait until the long strips come to eliminate them in one go.

But on the other hand, if the long strips don't come for a long time, not only may the score be slower, but even the higher and higher the pile, the last layer will not be eliminated, and you can only watch the top be reached!

Players must choose among them, otherwise there is a high chance that they will either score slowly or die fast!

And at the same time, the tone of the background music played by eliminating the first, two, third and fourth layers of squares is also rising step by step, this change is not big, but people can't help but have a sense of excitement when they listen to it!

This is probably the so-called "more you play, the more you feel", right?

Luo Xu, who has always considered himself to have a very strict eye for games, has to admit at this moment that this game called Tetris, although simple, definitely has the potential to become a classic!

However, in addition to the excitement and emotion, Luo Xu also had unsolvable doubts: "Where did this 007 studio come from?" I've heard that zzc once or twice before, and this one seems to have come out of nowhere. And why did it come out just a day earlier than ZZC Studios? Don't...... Well, wait tomorrow to see what the difference between ZZC's handheld game and this Tetris is! ”

Luo Xu, who was excited, hurriedly called: "Hey, Lord Editor?" It's me, Luo Xu! I'll tell you, this time there is a particularly good new game called Tetris, which should be sold in many grocery stores and other places, highly recommended! I'm playing right now?

What the? The manuscript hasn't been written yet......"

There was a sudden burst of angry scolding on the other end of the phone!

Luo Xu let his editor hang up the phone, he quickly picked up a pen, found the manuscript paper, recalled the game experience of the past half day in a blink of an eye, and wrote it with a pen!

He has to hurry up and finish writing this manuscript and hand it in, and then strive to rush to a thousand points!

Oh yes, there are several game forums, and he can also go to the online to recommend them.

……

On July 31, Tetris handheld was quietly launched and put on sale.

The process of putting it on the shelves is very simple and very bland, and only the second page of the Zhengguang newspaper is quietly advertised.

"New concept, new game, super handheld, early release!!"

Followed below are some carefully taken handheld photos and game screenshots, with a colorful background, which highlights the presence of the entire handheld at once!

And more importantly, what game? What handheld? What is the early sale?

Maybe some people don't know, but if you have read the Jinhu Evening News, you will easily think of the mysterious game handheld launched by the zzc studio that has played a lot of advertisements!

And the advertisement designed by Lynch with a vision that has been ahead of the curve for many years has made many people pay attention to this handheld on sale.

Here, Lynch quietly played a small trick: he didn't say what his handheld was, only said that it was released in advance, and because his handheld was actually not much different from Zhang Zhicheng's product appearance, many people only thought that the new mysterious game that had been advertised a lot in the Jinhu Evening News and had done enough advertising work recently was released in advance!

As for where is the sale?

Grocery stores everywhere!

For a while, many people who were already interested in handheld computers all set their sights on grocery stores large and small in Jinhu District.

But that's just the beginning!

The vast majority of people who are interested in games are young people, and many people are almost immediately addicted to Tetris handheld games after buying them!

The speed of paper products is relatively slow, but on the Internet, posts about Tetris have appeared in several well-known game forums in China.

"It seems simple, but it is actually connotative!"

"I found a fun handheld game called Tetris today!"

"It's so playful, I can't stop at all!"

"Ordinary people can't control it at all!"

"Latest Research Question: Why is Tetris called Tetris?"

"The designer must be a genius!"

Before the major newspapers and other traditional media could react, the discussion about Tetris had already appeared on a local game forum in Jinhu District, and gradually spread to other forums.

There are even many people who went to Jinhu District to buy Tetris in order to see Tetris.

So, in less than a day, the news of Tetris handheld game has spread hotly!

It can be said that the first batch of more than 500 handheld computers was sold out in almost no time!

The second manufacturing plant in Jinhu District.

Qi Lao, Wang Lao, Xia Yunfeng and others are constantly busy in the office, and today in addition to Lynch's handheld to be launched, there is also another batch of products with a total value of hundreds of thousands on the market.

After the end of the work of the audit team, they returned to their posts to update and judge the sales of new products in real time, so as to make the next step of selection and strategy in time!

It can be said that although Lynch's handheld is favored by them, after all, the first batch of products belongs to testing the waters, and it is obvious that the other products worth hundreds of thousands are more valuable, so they basically put all their energy on that batch of products.

On the monitoring screen, the changing inventory of each storage area is displayed, and the market response is reflected......

At this moment, the technician in charge of data monitoring in the reservoir area was stunned to find that the inventory of the handheld produced by the kid named Lynch began to decrease!

At first, there were only three or five units at a time, and soon it was already a dozen or a dozen units and a jump, and this did not last long, this number only became dozens of units and dozens of units fell down after just over half an hour!

"This, this, this......" Could this be someone stealing? Fart! What thief would be kind enough to update your database if he stole something?!

So how can this handheld game, which was obviously almost motionless and maintained at more than 4,400 before, have the inventory declining faster and faster?!

It can't be something wrong with the database, right?

You know, generally speaking, the delivery speed of a product is relatively average, how can it be that it didn't move much at all, but now it keeps growing?!

The technician broke out in a cold sweat and quickly reported the situation.

Xia Yunfeng, who received the report from the technical team, was also taken aback, and quickly made another phone call to the reservoir area to confirm, and was finally relieved when they found that it was not a problem with the database.

But then came an even greater shock!

The speed of this shipment is also too exaggerated!

According to the current shipment growth rate, I am afraid that this batch of 5,000 handheld machines will be sold out in a day or two at most!

"This ...... This is the rhythm of the fire! ”

A technician looked at the dwindling inventory figures, his eyes were shocked, and it took a while for a while to slowly spit out a sentence, and the people around him also nodded in agreement.

Qi, Wang Erlao, Xia Yunfeng and other high-level executives each glanced at each other and gave an order: "Hurry up and start the production line and increase production!" Oh not enough, the current batch of goods on the No. 10 production line will also be added to the production queue of Tetris handheld after production! ”

Xia Yunfeng raised his eyes and looked at the handheld sample left by Lynch on the table, with anticipation in his eyes: "Lynch, how many surprises can you bring us?" ”
