Towards lunchtime, the first Staff of Treasure Operations was finally found by the player, a player from New Zealand, who wept bitterly on the spot...... In order to participate in this herring carnival and the treasure hunt competition before the exhibition, he asked for leave without the consent of his superiors, so he just resigned and left, and then booked a ticket to China. However, New Zealand has good welfare, and there are a lot of government benefits, which are almost the same as the average salary in second- and third-tier cities in China, and it is nothing if you don't work.

The effect of the show is shocking, what players find directly is the treasure, and what they find is yours. The gold and silver shimmered and held it heavily in his hand, and this was the first time that these five rumored treasures appeared in front of the player. The live broadcast audience who had been following the player's camera in front of the screen felt the full impact, as if they could also experience the literal roundness of the skin touching it.

Then several other treasures were unearthed one after another, or out of the water, out of the box, by three o'clock in the afternoon, six hours after the official start of the competition, all the treasures had their new owners. The five players are also from New Zealand, China, the United States, Austria and Argentina, and it is truly a great fusion of people from all over the world. The contestants are holding heavy treasures, all of them are dirty, all traces of treasure hunting, and some of them have some damage, after all, sometimes they climb up and down the ground in the process, but their faces are happy and satisfied smiles.

Shan Jie, senior R&D director of FISOA and boss of Henggong Studio, awarded them a certificate of honor. This is also an unattainable figure in the game field right now.

The other 15 contestants, who did not receive a reward, applauded generously, whether they were sincere or not, at least on the surface.

These five treasures worth 25,000 US dollars each, about 157,000 yuan, have their owners, and the owners can do whatever they want, they can take them to melt their own gold bricks or jewelry, and they can be sold in gold stores at the unit price of gold and gemstones, but even if they want to exchange money, take it to eBay or dig for a direct auction on the treasure, the price must be much greater than their own value, and the significance of commemoration for herring fans is much greater than the value of their own precious metals. However, if the owners are not too short of money, they should not sell it.

……

The next day, the much-anticipated first herring carnival finally kicked off.

There are 25,000 tickets on sale, as well as 3,000 free tickets, most of which are free tickets for online game events, and a small part of them are given to outstanding game developers around the world, invited partner media, and relevant department leaders...... Both, both.

In this way, there should be about 30,000 people in total, but in fact, in the past three days, the number of global tourists who have come to Funan in advance to gather in the Chengnan Software Park has exceeded 120,000, of which domestic tourists account for 79%, and about 25,000 are foreign tourists.

The leaders of the municipal party committee also attach great importance to it, and for the city, this is also an opportunity to show the image of Funan city to the world, not to mention that there is so much multimedia gathering together. The city bureau has also set up a special working group to maintain public order during the event.

The hotels near the software park are also in short supply, and for a while, "the house in Funan is expensive", and many local residents and employees of other industry companies in the south of the city also wonder how they suddenly meet so many foreigners walking on the street. Especially those game companies, it's really drooling to watch. They are in Funan, and they must be blessed by herring in many places, the stronger they are, the longer they face, the more they pay attention to them, and the better the policy. But what is also sad is that when others talk about this city, they only know herring, and everyone else is eclipsed by the light of herring.

Even for foreign players, this is true for all of China.

Some companies are older than herring, and some employees have also worked in herring, these people have watched this company come step by step, from 5 years ago step by step to today, becoming a comprehensive company that truly represents the world's top level, a golden signboard.

It's a lot of emotion.

Three days ago, the invitational tournaments for "Eternal War" and "Paradise Lost" officially started, and they will both decide the final champion on the last night of the carnival, which is also the closing ceremony of the carnival.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the herring fish industrial park opened its doors and officially welcomed guests.

The temporary shop in the park that sells custom-made herring game-related goods has also officially opened, and it can really be said that it is all-encompassing and dazzling. T-shirts, hats, bath towels, and pillows printed with the herring logo and the representative characters of each game are all basic operations, and the new drinks printed with the image of the herring game launched in cooperation with Thirsty Coke are just embellishments, and these drinks are also the real "world premiere" at the carnival, and will be officially available worldwide from next month.

Model figures, commemorative games and the like are just needed by players, all kinds of pendant accessories, necklaces and bracelets, and if you want, you can also buy some cold weapons in it, such as swords and bows in "Getaway", of course, they must be decorations, no blade tip and no opening, no lethality, and most importantly, this needs to be customized, you can't let people buy it and take it to the street to hang around, it will add to the chaos. Leave the address after ordering, and the herring will be mailed to you.

Players have an hour to familiarize themselves with the venue and tour the park.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the opening ceremony began, and in the small theater of the multi-purpose exhibition hall, a CG animation began to play on the big screen. This is specially made by Shark Studio for this carnival, which is a great fusion of all herring games, character chaos, not only classic old games, new games like "Rain Blood" that have just been launched, and some characters that players and media have never seen. Everyone still has a score in their hearts, and they know that this is the new work to be announced at the carnival.

This was followed by an interview with players of all colors and ethnicities from all over the world, including men, women, children, and even the oldest one, who looked gray and over 60 years old. They are talking about their experience with the company and how they fell in love with those games and the company.

The game brings them joy, relaxation, playing games with friends, relatives and lovers, working together to overcome difficulties, trusting and cooperating with each other, which can make emotions collide more closely, and in the game of herring, they also learn how to carry out the spiritual power of real life.

Maybe this is what herring games have always insisted on.

Ye Shenxi Yushu walked on the stage in the wind and greeted the more than 600 media and players who entered the theater, and came to the Qingyu Industrial Park, but under the big screen outside the theater, as well as everyone in front of the screen on the remote side of the webcast, the applause was thunderous, and the cheers resounded throughout the theater, and more than 2 million people around the world witnessed this moment at the same time.

Ye Shenxi paused for a while, it seemed that his thoughts were also fluctuating, very old-fashioned and uninspiring, but it was what he really wanted to say at the moment, he wanted to sell some stalks as always, play humor and liven up the atmosphere, but found that it was not appropriate to say anything now, he could only say: "Thank you, thank you really." Then there was a long pause before he began his opening remarks.

The herring carnival has really begun.

……

This is a comprehensive event, and the entire herring industry park is divided into several districts.

The main project is the largest area, and probably the most important in the eyes of most people, with updates to all game items, including a new version of Eternal War, changes to Paradise Lost, the ultimate exposure of Chang'an Road, new policies for the FG platform, and newly announced projects.

Starting in May, the FG platform will begin to implement a new game refund policy on a pilot basis, and players can apply for a refund through the FG platform at any time within 1 hour of purchasing a game and playing the game, and the refund rate is 100%.

The news was announced, and it caused an immediate uproar.

This is equivalent to directly opening a game trial, just like a product trial in other fields.

Of course, this is a good thing for players, and it couldn't be better, because the "error tolerance" of buying various titles can be greatly reduced, and they can be more likely to ensure that the games they buy are the ones they are really interested in and will play. Of course, you don't have bad money, and it doesn't matter if you buy and don't play, just don't have this policy if it doesn't exist.

Although the content of the game is becoming more and more transparent, players have too many ways to understand it before purchasing, the evaluation of the community and critics in FG, the ratings of various media, and the live broadcast content of the anchors on the Longyan platform, but not everyone has the patience to understand it all, and it is a bit laborious and worried about spoilers or something.

The best way to get to know the game is to try it out for yourself.

You don't have to worry about buying a game and finding that you don't like it, or that your configuration is simply not enough, let alone playing, and it's difficult to enter the game.

The same is true for herring, and the improvement of word-of-mouth among the player base is obvious.

Soon the various media outlets had their own interpretations about the impact of the policy after it was introduced, but most of the media opinions were unanimous, because this is what Qingyu has always done, and this company is establishing rules.

Everyone knows how the grades of companies are differentiated. The worst can only fight the price, hurt the enemy by a thousand and lose eight hundred, followed by making products, selling technology a little higher, and continuing to make brands, and the real top companies are making rules.

The rules of the entire digital game publishing industry after entering a new era are almost all set by the herring network, not only the PC platform, but also the online store and community of Soni Giant are also learning from FG, and now this company has formulated a brand new one.

Players must unconditionally embrace this new standard, which is already far behind Steam, and Origin and Uplay, which are further away, will lose more and more users if they don't catch up quickly.

The only problem is that for the manufacturers, they have a bit of a headache, they may have to face the dedication of some players to malice refunds, and the money received from the sold games may have to be returned, which is very painful.

There may be some manufacturers who dare to be angry about the decision of herring fish, and even if they dare to speak, they can't be annoyed at most, and they still have to point to FG to live.

But on a deeper level, because this rule is starting to appear, the competition in the development market will be more intense, and they must do better, improve themselves, make the game more brilliant and bright, and minimize all kinds of bad experiences in order to retain players.

If they do that, they can grow from it.

Another point is that the money on the Qingyu FG platform cannot be withdrawn, so what can players do when they refund it, buy other games! With the support of the rules, players will buy more confidently, and they will be more frequent, and there will be more and more happy ones.

On the whole, for all games on the entire FG platform, sales will increase, and it is also beneficial for them to look at all developer groups without looking at individual developers.

This is the biggest news of the carnival so far, and its impact will be very far-reaching.

Qingyu Network will launch 3 games this year, which has been promoted for a short time by the merman studio to create "Chang'an Road", and there is a card battle game, which has landed on all platforms including mobile phones, focusing on casual competition, and another hardcore dark action game by Tsuchiya Daishojun. There are also more than 20 selected masterpieces or independent works from third-party manufacturers, which will also be released on the FG platform within this year.

Each game brings plenty of exposure to keep players in this area hooked.

……

There is also a [Behind the Scenes] session, in which employees from various departments of the herring will call the players with the stories behind the research and development.

These include reports such as "Days of Working in Herring", "Into the Development Team", "Founder Story", "History Review of Bluefish", "Establishment of the Sound Department", "E-sports Pros You Don't Know", and so on.

It's arguably the best place to learn more about the company.

This is a special story meeting, okay...... Players can rest and sit cross-legged on the floor, drink and listen to the speaker.

The special session of "Phantom of Sound and Light" is basically the sound department of Sister Lockpost, Cao Ruoruo's art department and the special session of Shark Studio, and here we will introduce the birth of "Blue Fish Pictures...... Well, herring fish pictures is just a folk saying. They have released a number of anime works that are loved by outstretched players and even ordinary melon-eating audiences, and they are indeed created with the theme of the game itself, but even those who have not played the game can watch it with relish.

In addition to producing in-game and promotional CG animations for the company's R&D department, they also find time to release some in-depth and entertaining drama videos. A number of independent film festivals are already on the agenda.

There will also be music performances in the intervals, which are personally performed by the herring sound department, and the invited orchestra performs in the evening.

[Touch the Future] special session is the home of Laifu, here Laifu is also the first time to contact strangers outside their own home, players can use the game of herring fish and Laifu to challenge, but also to chat with him casually, Laifu's cute character has been loved by many players...... Some projects with other graphics card or hardware manufacturers will also be available here.

[Longyan Interactive] is a special anchor session, where 20 of the most popular anchors on the entire Longyan platform are invited to come to the Qingyu Industrial Park to interact with the players intimately.

The Athletics Zone is a haven for esports enthusiasts, with the All-Star Club Invitational Tournaments for Eternal War and Paradise Lost in full swing.

As for the developer forums, they are not open to players, Ye Shenxi has not appeared for much time, and most of them are there.

This all-round game exhibition fully demonstrates the company's heritage and technology, its impact on the world, and truly enjoys it with the people.
