Chapter 437: Pasca's Treasure
On March 3rd, the herring carnival will officially open tomorrow. With-Dream- . lā
Starting on the first day of the new year on the 2nd, Carnival tickets will be officially sold to players. The way to sell is not through any third-party ticketing website, but through its own FG platform. On the platform, players buy tickets just like buying a game, with the same product interface, content introduction, promotional images and videos, etc., the only difference is that they do not need to be downloaded, and they are limited.
Tickets come with a number of virtual rewards, including a special badge for the purchase of the FG platform, the "First Herring Carnival Commemorative Badge", which is truly out of print, untradable and never to be seen again. Eternal War and Paradise Lost also feature exclusive carnival skins and sets.
On the 2nd of the month, the first wave of tickets went on sale, selling for $99...... It's a little more expensive than the $75 of last year's glass slag carnival, but in fact, the herring carnival is richer and more substantial, and the number of tickets is actually less than that of glass slag, which is a rental event venue, and herring is placed in its own company, which is more rare than the other party, and players can get closer to the herring employees.
I've been planning for so long, just today?
At that time, the sales started on time at 10 a.m. China time in the morning, and an hour before the official sale, the internal data of Qingyu showed that the number of players who stayed on the ticket purchase interface and watched the countdown was as high as 270,000......
At 0:02, 25% of the tickets are gone...... 0:05 min, 50% ...... Then at 0:09, the first wave of 10,000 tickets was sold out.
At 0:5, the tickets have appeared on eBay and Dibao, and the prices have been speculated to 500 US dollars and 2400 yuan respectively......
The second wave was on the 9th of the month, when there were 50,000 tickets, and the time spent was not much better than the first wave, and it took 3 minutes, and it was gone......
The remaining group of players who carried the super movie but failed to grab the ticket could only sigh and cry without tears.
It is equivalent to saying that the Qingyu Network earned another $4.975 million in 9+3=22 minutes, and this unreasonable appeal and robber-like ability to attract money are really unconvincing.
The media have said that the herring fish set the ticket price too low, and the carnival is not for ordinary players, but for users who really have the ability to spend and have that will, even if the herring fish sets the ticket to 300 US dollars, they feel that they can still digest it, because for the herring fish on the altar and their supporters, the meaning of this time is too special.
This is the herring, and it is the first time, the mysterious herring industrial park that represents the most advanced productivity of the global game is open to the public for the first time, and the number of players is really large, and the meaning of this carnival is for many people, to tell the truth, it is a pilgrimage.
About 5.3% of the tickets were grabbed by Chinese players, and the rest were distributed all over the world, on five continents and four oceans, and those players had to arrange their schedules in advance and book tickets, and many of them would be setting foot on this mysterious eastern continent for the first time.
This time, 00 local tyrant tickets are also reserved, this is the real local tyrant floating, the ticket price is as high as 750 US dollars, this part of the income of 75,000 US dollars will be used for charity activities, and this part of the local tyrants will be able to get the opportunity to have dinner with the Qingyu employees, they are definitely the front-line designers of the R&D studio, but they are certainly not Ye Shenxi and Xia Qingyu, or Li Zhi, Shan Jie, Tan Xun, Lu Liang and Busen, the top leaders of large studios, and even Chen Xinghan and Liang Qikun, the first-line producer level, $750 for a meal with Pasa, which is really too much.
The herring fish industrial park has been dressed up, and it has changed into a new outfit in order to pick up customers, and you can see the gestures and posters of the characters in the game everywhere, as well as the lighting embellishment, which makes the whole park very festive. Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
Before the official opening of the carnival, the carnival's pre-exhibition dessert treasure hunt was one step ahead. After an online audition that lasted for half a month and had a total of nearly 300,000 participants, 20 players who stood out were invited to the Qingyu Industrial Park...... 300,000 people are like this, Henggong Studio specially produced a text puzzle game "Fisa Treasure" (herring treasure) put on the FG platform for players to download for free, that is also the topic of the audition, there are 30 players in half a month to try to reveal the secret, but more than 80% of the people did not stay for more than 0 minutes, quickly lost, not a single problem solved.
At the end of the competition, the top 20 people from 2 different countries will be ranked according to the criteria for completing the most questions and the earlier they have achieved them. These questions are strange, including historical knowledge, literary allusions, logical reasoning, spatial imagination, mathematical deduction, as well as natural sciences such as physics, and even ancient prophecies, myths and legends...... Out of all 0 questions, the player with the most solved 47 of them...... After all, it is still very difficult to choose 20 out of so many people.
Originally, when Henggong designed it, he didn't want people to solve it all, but these 20 players may really be monsters.
At nine o'clock in the morning on this day, 20 contestants gathered next to the herring "Nebula Pond" (who would have thought that the name of this atmosphere is the artificial lake), this year's spring is relatively early after the heat, it is estimated that the summer will be a few decades of scorching heat or something, anyway, the climate that occurs once in decades now seems to be often encountered. The willow trees planted by the pond begin to flutter in the air in early March, rippling in the wind, making the entire industrial park full of poetry and picturesqueness.
Everyone brought the novice birth equipment, a treasure map of parchment, a panoramic view of the herring industry park, this is nothing to keep secret, anyway, it can be seen on the map of Brother Gu. It's just that the treasure map looks very different from the satellite view, this is hand-drawn, not realistic, and there are some strange letters and numbers on it, although the order is completely disrupted, one in the east and one in the west, but as long as people who are not blind know that it must be a clue.
For gamers, treasure maps, numbers, what is the first reaction, coordinates! They need to measure the shape of the herring network with their feet first, determine the coordinate unit, and then sort out the order of the numbers, and then go to find the coordinate position on the first clue, which means that the game really begins.
Each person is also assigned a specific mobile phone, allowed to check information online, but can not ask for help from the audience outside the venue, no e-mail, no SI card, the only communication software is herring's own fish bubble, and the contact person has only one event official, there will be corresponding clues when the special plot is triggered, and once it is found that communicating with anyone else will be directly regarded as a waiver.
Who knows if a staff member in the industrial park is a special NP, for example, by this Nebula Pool, a big brother in a security uniform is sitting there fishing, and the first reaction is that there is a side quest waiting for you? Would there be a special hint for chatting with him in the past? Sometimes this is a test of their observation and communication skills...... These are the test machines of the mobile game development team, and the players will return them when they run out today, and if they run out of treasure maps, they can take them away as souvenirs.
There is a big screen by the pool, which is usually used to put some promotional videos, and sometimes important basketball, football or e-sports games will also have live broadcast signals, and everyone can run over and sit together to watch after finishing their work, and talk to each other, and have some tricky comments from the barrage gods, which is definitely much better than staring at the computer screen and wearing headphones to see the atmosphere. There is also a live broadcast of the company's important leaders on the Longyan platform, and Mr. Dang is on the station again, and it will also be broadcast.
Ye Shenxi's face appeared on the big screen, and his sudden appearance scared some of the contestants, making it look like "Chainsaw", but fortunately he didn't wear any fancy clothes but a daily casual shirt, and the ambient lighting rendered it a little for the atmosphere but didn't use a voice changer to speak...... And the first thing Ye Shenxi said was: "Hell everyne, I ant t play a gae......"
There was no opening greeting or welcome speech, and it went straight to the point to highlight the theme.
The video is very short, and it can be summed up as: "My treasure?" If you want it, give it to you, go find it! Everything in the game world is out there! ”
The 20 contestants were thunderous with joy and morale, as if they were waving to them when they saw treasure.
The screen was once again plunged into darkness, and the first thing someone did was pouring mineral water on the treasure map, or holding it high in the sunlight to see the projections and textures...... There are really a lot of players watching all kinds of treasure hunting film and television dramas, but it is estimated that there are still people who want to use fire, but they stopped this idea in time, and what treasure hunting does it depend on to burn it.
The treasure hunt is limited to 8 hours, which is until 5 p.m., when the treasure gate will be closed and the treasure hunt will not continue. Of course, if all 5 treasures are found, it will naturally end early.
Players can choose to give up at any time, but it is estimated that no one will do this, this is the chosen son of hundreds of thousands of players, and the line of the second point is: "Damn, how can you fall in such a place!" ”
There is also the official live broadcast room on the Longyan platform, which will follow the contestants throughout the process, and in this process, all the viewers can use their imagination to follow the followers to solve the puzzles set by the herring fish team, but their speeches and contestants will definitely not be visible. From the beginning of the event, about 300,000 people began to watch the live broadcast, and many of them were destined to have a feeling of IQ arrears.
As the event progressed, they were able to communicate with each other from a god's perspective, and from time to time heated discussions erupted, and even the contestants in the competition sometimes had to rely on the collective strength, adopt a cooperative strategy on some difficulties, and think about acting alone after figuring out this point.
"Launched, there is a total number, if the order is correct, it could be 3-, 4-2, -3! This should be the clue to the next clue! ”
"It's not the coordinates this time?"
"It can't be three-dimensional coordinates, right?"
"How about pushing it like this?"
"I can't push it out, and it's not right according to the unit of measurement that was introduced before, the number is too small, it's on the periphery, outside the building, there's nothing in mid-air, is it on the willow tree?"
"Think about it differently."
"Alphabet, yes, try the alphabet!"
"The 3rd letter, the second occurrence, the 4th 2 occurrences, the first 3rd occurrence!"
“NNAAA?”
"What words can I spell?"
“anan?”
"One less A!"
"There are no such words!"...
"Yes, there is one!"
"Which one?"
“anaan!”
"Yes, I forgot that word, Canaan!"
"That's right! That's a Hebrew translation, and it means low in Hebrew! ”
"The lowest place here!"
"You can't ask us to jump into the lake, can you? Isn't there still a set of diving equipment somewhere? ”
"Let's go, let's go to the underground parking garage first, maybe it's somewhere, or there's a wetsuit there."
A few people who were discussing together looked left and right, and when they saw that there was no one around, they ran away, for fear of being shared by other contestants.
……
The tallest building in the industrial park is the No. 1 building, with a total of 9 floors, and the single floor is taller than an ordinary office building, and the overall "waist circumference" is thicker. This is where the game development department is located, Heng Gong, He Luo and Shark are all in this building, Jiang Gong of other departments FG, Dragon Eye of live broadcast, motion capture octopus Maruko, and Yu Ball of the virtual world exploration department, etc...... are scattered throughout the other buildings of the park.
The top floor of the building is ...... A large three bedroom ...... Very homely, the master bedroom, the second bedroom, the lounge, the living room, the bathroom, the bathroom, the gym are also readily available, and the president's office is also located.
Ye Shenxi and Xia Qingyu are now standing on a high place, standing side by side, Ye Shenxi's left hand is holding Xia Qingyu's waist, and the fish head is leaning on Ye Shenxi's shoulder, by the way, there are dumplings are also there, squeezing out a slit between the legs of the two, and they have to lie on their stomachs between the two, so that the lower half of their bodies are moved away to make room for it, it doesn't seem to know that it is much fatter than before.
Through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, the two looked at everything in the park, the flying catkins, the walking employees, and the contestants speeding by from time to time, looking very in a hurry.
Xia Qingyu also made a joke, and simply welcomed her relatives or something, and she received it directly from her parents, and it could be used as a wedding room.
On the wedding night, the two of them buried their heads in their own hands, you write your plan, and I handle my documents. The initial mode of getting along between the two, in the summer of 2007, in Xia Qingyu's own small villa, was like this.
Ye Shenxi said that it will affect the employees to work.
This is just casual talk, they can't do anything about this, the old Xia Ruan Zhu and the two of them have a lot of power in their hands, and they have made their own plans, and the things of seven, seven, eight, or eight have been given an implementation plan according to Xia Qingyu's requirements. It's a shame that Lao Xia hasn't made a plan for Party A so seriously for many years......
"They're really engaged, it's good." Xia Qingyu said.
Indeed, in fact, the game itself is not limited to video games, but many ideas can be realized through digital products, and this kind of treasure hunt is actually game design.
"Tomorrow's carnival, don't announce new projects." Xia Qingyu said again.
"What's wrong?" Ye Shenxi was puzzled.
It was already confirmed.,Ye Shenxi's next project will be officially announced at tomorrow's carnival.,How will this be a description?,It should be said to be a 4A-level game.,It's really much more difficult than the usual 3A project.,It needs to be developed by two studios, Henggong and Salmon.。 This is different from the joint efforts of the two studios of Henggong and Salmon at the beginning of "Getaway" in 08, when Henggong did not have experience in the development of 3A games, Salmon was also just founded and still needed to run in, and could only be responsible for a separate large system within the project.
And now it's VGA's "Studio of the Year" for 200 and 20 years, respectively, and it's the best team in the world that needs them to join forces and do their best to make a game.
The PS4 and B NE era may have to squeeze out the full performance of these two machines when the eighth generation just arrives......
Some of the documentation ideas that can be used for display, conceptual art prototypes to show the world have been made and can be announced, and the efficiency of the herring has always been like this, and the media and players will not make a fuss, which is also one of the highlights of the first carnival.
Xia Qingyu can't say it now.
"It's not that urgent......" Xia Qingyu said.
"We're not in a hurry, aren't we worried about the players' urgency, they were also used to our efficiency before, and it was difficult to go from luxury to frugality, so we announced it early to give them a reassurance."
"Hmmm......"
"There's a problem." Ye Shenxi smiled, he really rarely saw Xia Qingyu when he wanted to talk and stopped.
"It's announced at our wedding." Xia Qingyu spoke.
"Poof......" Ye Shenxi almost choked on saliva, "Daughter-in-law, are you serious?" ”
"It's cool, it's different from everyone else's."
At the wedding ceremony, the vows are taken, the rings are exchanged, or three prostrations, the husband and wife bow to each other, and then ...... Announcing a new project? In front of the full house, there were also friends from all walks of life of Xia Yuqi and Ruan Zhu, representatives of major game companies around the world, those well-known game people, and leaders of relevant departments...... Next, I would like to introduce you to a new game...... This kind of operation is really, too showy.
"How's it going?" Xia Qingyu asked, her eyes shining with longing.
"How do you explain it to your parents?"
"Let's do it ourselves, bring a USB flash drive."
Ye Shenxi couldn't help laughing, but he didn't know what to say, let alone find a reason to refute...... can only shake his head and smile bitterly, maybe the sullen gene in his own heart also likes this way a little.
