Wang Ling and Qi Jia, the two girls, are almost very core gamers, and they are very high-level. The two of them didn't like the game Hearthstone, and the sudden appearance of the card game made them feel a crisis, a crisis about the survival of other card games and the board game store itself.

Board game services are also provided in the cosmic strings, but there are not many types of table toys, and the board game area is limited, at least there is no big guy like mahjong. Wang Ling and Qi Jia are both playing Hearthstone, and Wang Ling is still a player who uses blue and white to quickly solve the field to hunt rumors. The feature of her games is that they don't cost money or take a lot of time, and there are very few games that allow her to continue playing for a long time, except for Yu-Gi-Oh.

Ever since Hearthstone appeared in China, there has been a lot of discussion about how it compares it to Magic and Yu-Gi-Oh. Wang Ling thinks that Hearthstone is too simple, the card deck is also single, the card skills are formulaic, not enough to fight wits and courage, and a game is too long, and there is no urging function, urging function and urging function!! But that's not really what she doesn't like about the game, in her opinion, Hearthstone's inability to be cardable, and the inability to grab cards to go to board game stores and card stores, is the most unbearable part of the game.

Hearthstone's game system itself is not suitable for physical cards, such as Windranger Sylvanas, TC130 Mind Control Technician, Ergozai, Arcane Missile, which follower to control or which individual to attack is all a matter of luck, and it is difficult to achieve at the table. In order to retain novice players, Blizzard Dad has consciously increased the proportion of luck in the game, which is also a business need. Understandable.

Another is a card like the imp summoner, black dragon mm, and the dog. If you throw it away, you will have a lot of little ghosts, little dragons, and little dogs. If you do play cards, the cost increases. If it is combined with the Panda series, it is probably not enough to make up four of the shaman's skill totems, so Hearthstone will probably always be an online game rather than a real board game.

It's not bad for Hearthstone to just play an online game, but for other board games of the same genre, it's the equivalent of a super strong competitor. For the board game shops and card houses that rely on these board games to survive, it will be more difficult to survive in the land of the Celestial Empire due to the impact of Hearthstone.

Earlier today, there were two dead perverts in the Cosmic String Shop who wanted to play the game king with the maid. The probability that girls will play this game is very low, and after more than ten years of evolution, the game environment of Yu-Gi-Oh is now very complex. It simply can't attract the new generation of female gamers to join. No girl would spend the time researching the difference between special moves, harmonics, and excess, nor do they bother to understand the effects and characteristics of those countless trap cards and series decks.

Two male customers came to the door and swore that they wanted to play the game king with the maid, in Wang Ling's opinion, this kind of house was simply hopeless, and they were all here to find fault.

Fortunately, there are two treasures in the store, Wang Ling and Qi Jia, who said that if they are allowed to draw cards, they can play with them.

It's not a high-end skill to draw cards by yourself, and you don't need to draw skills, just find a deck of playing cards and write some card names such as 'blue-eyed white dragon' and 'dead resurrection' with a marker. Yu-Gi-Oh cards are not available in Longxing's shop. Only a duel venue was provided, and neither Wang Ling nor Qi Jia brought their own decks. If you want to play, you can only draw it yourself.

Yu-Gi-Oh's face-based mechanics are very casual, no matter if the card you take is genuine, copycat, or a small card written by yourself, as long as you come to play, then it's no problem. Generally, the rules of the game in the store are also very casual, even if it is a card effect, as long as the opponent does not debunk it, it is no problem. If you are accidentally guessed through, then no one blames you for smiling honestly, this is the game atmosphere of the board game store, which is perfect in Wang Ling's opinion.

She came into contact with Yu-Gi-Oh very early, but it was about two or three years ago that she started her dueling career in earnest. At that time, she grabbed the magic dessert card set she had formed and ran to the small store in her hometown, but when she came, she had a bunch of copycat cards in her hand, and by the time she returned, these cards had become genuine Japanese.

Those game kings who have their own ghosts gathered together, gave their extra cards to Wang Ling, and formed a genuine set of cards that were the same as the three-star magic dessert card set she brought.

It is important to know that the price of "X Recruitment" and "Value-added G" in the Ludao Day Card is about 100 yuan, and the price of the core card "Houguan Tiramisu" is close to 200 yuan. At that time, the 'Hot Cake Owl' had just joined the magic dessert army, which led to a large number of high-priced cards in the composition of the three-star magic dessert, and Wang Ling was stuffed with thousands of genuine cards after playing in the store for a day, which made her panic for a while. Thinking of these things now, she will be more or less moved.

Compared to this atmosphere, Hearthstone, which has no way to exchange cards, is basically the biggest taboo of card games! This is the second place that is not eye-catching for old-school card players like Wang Ling.

The level of the two game-king of the house is much higher than that of the little maid of the cosmic string, and they seem to be the kind of real dueling masters who have abandoned their homes and careers to practice under the waterfall. The two of them took out their own cards and let Wang Ling form cards at will, and with the help of Qi Jia, they finally formed a set of 'Next-Generation Sea Emperor Water Spirit Scales' that had been rampant and domineering in the duel world for a long time, and then they were abused by the two otaku who were destined to be lonely all their lives with 'Yingyi' and 'Steamer'.

I don't know if Wang Ling was born with the buff of being given a Yu-Gi-Oh card by Ah Zhai, and the two duel ruthless Ah Zhai gave her the card of Wang Ling's group when he left. Just when Wang Ling pinched the card and was about to go to Taobao to check the market of the current Yu-Gi-Oh genuine cards and calculate the value of the card she received, a guy who was engaged in Hearthstone Internet café propaganda came to the door and said that he wanted to borrow the cosmic string to hold a competition.

Engaging in competitions has always been a means for Internet cafes to promote themselves and set the tone by the way. If an Internet café holds a cup of a wow-wow-sa Internet café all year round, then it won't be long before this Internet café will have a certain influence in the local masturbation circle, attracting some local gods to haunt it, and it will become a full-time Internet café.

Hearthstone is the same. The cosmic string has a special style. At first glance, it looks like an Internet café full of petty bourgeois complexes. Seems to be a good place to play in Hearthstone.

Long Xing was called away by his own maid and ran to talk about things. He has also played a little Hearthstone to some extent, after all, it is a game produced by Blizzard, and he still wants to be popular. The guy who came over to engage in propaganda was an ordinary-looking salesman, young and restrained, holding a bag and staring at the maid who was carrying the cat.

By this time he had already realized that his judgment was wrong, and this eccentric Internet café seemed to be far from the word 'net' and more like a quirky restaurant. But after watching it for a while. He still believes that this place must be better for competitions than going to ordinary Internet cafes. He's a businessman, and as a salesman for a marketing team, one of them has to hold a tournament in the magic capital every month to keep Hearthstone hot.

The prizes of the competition are very simple, adding up to no more than 1,000 yuan, and they hope that the cost of the venue is free, so this little salesman will discuss things with Longxing.

Long Xing pinched the brochure handed over by the man and listened to him say something that 'holding a contest can increase the popularity of the store'.

"But I don't think your game is in line with the business content of our store......" Long Xing originally thought that they could hold a competition at their venue and get a charter fee or something, but they didn't say a dime, and according to what the guy in front of him said, they had to entertain those players who came to the game for free. If you really want to do that. Why do you have to go through them, isn't it better to do a competition independently.

This young salesman has a limited level of public relations. Returning home, Long Xing once again became interested in holding the competition. Now the business route of the cosmic string seems to be a little strange, the profit of the small dried fish sold every day is more than the profit of the Internet café, and the food area is completely out of the game area. Although Longxing's dream is to open a maid café, now that it is positioned as an Internet café, it is more or less necessary to work hard in this area!

This salesman who wanted to get the venue for free reminded Long Xing that he should hold another game competition, straighten the reputation of the store, and slightly drive those cat-loving OLs out of the way.

At the end of the day's work, the owner of the cosmic string maid cat Internet café and the two maids have a meeting in the lounge with Erlang's legs crossed. Long Xing pinched the booklet sent by the salesman during the day and looked through it, which was printed with the process of holding the competition.

Wang Ling listened to Long Xing's words, shaking her legs and looking unhappy, "Why do you want to hold a Hearthstone competition, isn't Yu-Gi-Oh's good?" ”

"Because no one is playing......"

Long Xing is not a person in the dueling circle, but he knows very well that there must be local shops with old qualifications who have monopolized the duel resources of the magic capital, and if he runs out to engage in competitions, he will be squeezed out by the small circle of others, and it will end up in the cold. As for Hearthstone's wide audience, there is no need to think about this aspect. As long as you follow the process in the brochure that someone brought, you can probably hold up a game.

It is not the first time that Wang Ling and Qi Jia have served as the organizing committee of competitive events, but they don't think there is anything difficult about this job. Qi Jia knows a lot about Hearthstone's competition system, she only watches the news of the game circle in her life, and she pays attention to any type of game news, and she feels that she is fully capable of taking on the responsibilities of the organizing committee single-handedly!

"Well, everything is taught to you!" With a wave of his hand, Long Xing delegated all the power to the two head maids, asking them to make the game as much as possible next weekend. As for the prizes, Long Xing took out two thousand yuan, the first place was one thousand, the second and third places shared the remaining one thousand, and as for the top eight, it would be good to give some vouchers in the store.

Long Xing didn't care much about the profitability of the store, anyway, his original intention of opening the store was not to make a profit, but to find something to do for himself, so he chose the weekend to do the game day, and he was not afraid of losing the business of this day. Qi Jia, as an excellent game jack-of-all-trades, began to calculate the game process and choose the competition system on the day he received the task.

At present, the competition format of Hearthstone is very complicated, but there are only a few formats that are more recognized by the majority of Hearthstone players, among which the KOF format is the most simple and straightforward.

KOF is the KOF of the King of Fighters, which is so hot in China that it is an introductory fighting game for the Celestial Empire, and KOF97 is still a big coin eater in the arcade.

The so-called KOF competition system is the same as in the KOF game, three characters against three characters, choose the order of appearance after choosing the role, and then fight each other. The winner is not determined until all of the characters are killed. The 1v1 mode of the online version of Three Kingdoms is a typical KOF format.

It's the same with Hearthstone. Each side of the match chooses three classes and then beats each other. However, one of the fatal drawbacks of this format is that it takes a long time. If you want to divide the winner or loser, even if it is a one-sided crushing game, you have to fight three battles, and those who fight hard need to fight five.

Hearthstone is not Yu-Gi-Oh, and any set of combos can take away the opponent in the second round, and it is not much slower. But if you meet two slow players in Hearthstone matches. A few more long-term patients burn rope streams, and it is not impossible to play for twenty minutes at a time.

Long Xing asked the competition to be completed in one afternoon as much as possible, he didn't want to hold the contestants in his store all day, and it would be embarrassing for the contestants to go home for dinner when their wives pulled their ears.

If 64 players can be found, it will take six rounds, and it will take five hours to catch up......

"I don't have enough time!!!"

Qi Jia was worried at home, and she was tormented by these things and had a headache. Her family's family conditions are not good, single-parent family, her father spent all his savings when he died, and he still owes many debts. Plus Qi Jia is not an obedient girl. Working as a maid in the cosmic string was the highest-paying job she'd ever found in her life, but she wasn't a classical beauty. Compared to the big beauty, her appearance is much more ordinary, and she is rarely ordered by guests.

Coupled with Qi Jia, a jack-of-all-trades in the game industry, male customers always feel like they are in class when they are being served, and her repeat customers are pitiful.

When men and women get along, the boy must not know how to pretend to understand, and the girl knows how to pretend not to understand, so that it is more harmonious. Qi Jia couldn't control her own 'Xuanxue' problem like the Haier brothers, when Wang Ling was playing Street Fighter 3.3 with that handsome female customer, she couldn't help but show off her knowledge of beans, in fact, she was doing this kind of thing all the time, and only Wang Ling could stand her.

Just when she was distressed, her good friend Wang Ling called.

Answered, the opposite was still the female voice who was a little flamboyant and extremely confident, but her voice seemed to be a little flustered at this time. "What's that, Xiaojia, you tell me the phone number of the ink girl, I have something urgent to find her."

Qi Jia frowned when she heard this, and said to her in a tone like a lesson idiot: "Xiaoling, don't you live in the store without knowing that the ink juice of the Dao Dao?" You can't just call the store! ”

"......" Wang Ling really forgot about this for a while.

Qi Jia heard that Wang Ling seemed to be a little wrong, and asked, "What's wrong with you over there?" What are you looking for ink juice for? ”

"It's nothing, it's just the League of Legends thing......"

While Qi Jia was staring at the competition system and having a headache, Wang Ling was also very busy. Compared with Qi Jia and Mo Juice, who are unhappy in the family, Wang Ling's family is happy and happy, and being a maid is just her personal hobby, not to make money.

Wang Ling's parents are one of the Xian taekwondo coaches and the other is the national arts coach, and the couple opened a gym in the magic capital, fooling people to learn those fighting skills that are basically not used. Wang Ling once beat up a gangster on the eve of the opening of the Cosmic String store, also thanks to her family history.

With the identity of an ethnic minority, her family has not been able to implement the country's family planning policy, Wang Ling has a younger brother who is in the third year of junior high school, and today is also a problem for her as an older sister.

Wang Ling talked a little about the troubles she encountered, and the more Qi Jia listened, the more she felt that her colleague and friend was a younger brother.

Wang Ling and her brother had some small disputes with their classmates at school during the day, which was probably a daily topic of Baidu masturbation such as 'who is more powerful, the god barbarian king or the god angel'. The mentally incomplete junior high school boy quarreled with his classmates because of this boring thing, and it was quickly upgraded to a real PK.

Wang Ling, after her younger brother was born, she had a talent for martial arts, and beating a professional student was not like playing. As a result, the junior high school student on the side who failed in the live PK was not convinced, and said that although he lost the fight, he was discussing the League of Legends today, and his game opinion was absolutely correct!

In the end, the two didn't know how Lu Dao decided, saying that they were going to play a team game with a team of Guerra after school.

"Isn't this a nervous disease...... Qi Jia sighed and asked cautiously, "Is there any five people on your brother's side?" ”

Wang Ling said with a hot face, "My brother was excluded at school and has no friends...... Not a single one can be found. ”

Qi Jia rarely heard Wang Ling's voice so weak, and giggled presumptuously.

"Then why don't you come to me to fight, I also play League of Legends."

Wang Ling was annoyed by the laughter of the guy on the other end of the phone, and directly ignored the issue of friendship and told the truth, "I dislike you for playing games too stupidly, can't you?!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Qi Jia couldn't help laughing, "Our eldest lady Wang Ling's younger brother and classmates compete, what a big deal, how can I be disabled enough to fight on my behalf?" So who else did you find besides the ink juice? Our boss? ”

"I haven't talked to my boss yet......"

"You're really going to talk about it!!"

Qi Jia was also accused by this brother to cute, junior high school students had a dispute, she, who was a sister, wanted to find her comrades in the first ADC of the national service to fight in the contemporary era, how big of a heart does this have? (To be continued......)
