The popularity of the legend in the East can be called

"Monopolize the entire gaming industry". The so-called monopoly is not that the legend killed the competitors, but in the East, there is only this RPG online game on the market to choose from.

As a result, about one-third of the 260 million netizens generated by the supply and marketing of microcomputer rooms in the East, plus the 50 million netizens accumulated before, have been in contact with legends, and about one-tenth have chosen to play often.

With such a large player base, there must be such and such needs. If there is demand, there is a market.

In this context, Director Xu's private booster used to be just a bad boy who didn't learn and was addicted to the Internet in the eyes of his parents, but now he finally has it

The chance to "get ahead" is certainly not to play games all day. Instead, he consulted the military division group to customize a set of sustainable development plans, and helped Director Xu set up a special one

"Boosting company", also called

Game Studios. These game studios, except for helping the factory manager raise the account, spend the rest of the time

"Generate revenue". Including buying and selling equipment, buying and selling gold coins, buying and selling materials, charging point cards, playing on behalf of characters, hosting roles, and retrieving the field...... even held gang offline activities to secretly help Razor enterprises promote new products and develop offline sales personnel.

The "boosters" followed the factory director, which means that they have no worries about food and clothing, and they will not be short of money at ordinary times, and in order to improve their influence, almost all of the studio's income is taken out

"Win people's hearts". The advantage of this is that the snacks, cosmetics, daily necessities, etc. of Razor enterprises have a broader market.

And the gang members, naturally

"Offline salesman", or called

"New Product Ambassador". At the same time, the Razor company also gave the studio a considerable remuneration. In general, the new products of the Razor → studio → legendary game → gang members → offline salesmen/distributors → new products of Razor companies open up national sales→ studios make money→ salesmen get two cents.

A month ago, Director Xu decided to expand

"Booster Team", adding 200 regional server characters. Many studios led by the factory director on behalf of the training increased capital and expanded production on the same day, reorganized and rebuilt, and to

"Internet Culture Company", or

In the name of "Internet Entertainment Company", it has collectively settled in the empty Daze Underground Passage - West Second Ring Business District.

Now, a month later, these studios have announced their disbandment of their gangs and their withdrawal from the legendary game, taking away not only the top players on their servers, but also the most active people on their servers.

At the same time, it also makes many game spin-off businesses impossible. For example, point card recharge can only go to the supply and marketing cooperative, and cannot be completed online.

For example, no one collects equipment, no one collects materials, and all the skill books on the market are gone. For example, no one helps to level up, no one helps hang up, and each district server is like missing more than half of the people.

In addition, the Whoosh Fox Forum-Legend section is full of red top posts of the xx gang disbanding and the xx boss retiring.

As a result, some second- and third-rate news media and newspaper organizations that could not find sensational news took out the news in the forum as a hot topic.

Even some small tabloids have taken out the reasons for the players' guesses. What legendary boss dabbled in black, ran away.

What legendary boss Chongyang***, emigrated. What Shengda sold to American capital...... soon

The news of "the legend is cold" spread throughout the game circle. Coincidentally, the legendary insiders accidentally leaked again

The inside story of "a large number of players churning" has made the legendary game even worse. And in the field of psychology, there's something called

The "herd effect", or called

"Herd mentality". It refers to the fact that when faced with uncertain situations, people tend to follow the decisions of the majority rather than make decisions based on their own judgment.

Now the famous gangs in the legendary game have all been disbanded, and all the high-level players have withdrawn, and many famous characters have been sold.

Although there are many players who are very reluctant to give up on the legend, friends, classmates, and neighbors in the computer room all close the game interface and even laugh at themselves

"The games are all out of business, what are you still playing?" , and in the end, because of face, they also closed the game page one after another. The question is, if you don't play Legends, what are you playing?

At this moment, the red flag UI desktop, appeared

The word "Qin Yan". Click to view, and a video of the battle is displayed in front of you. In the picture, Cao Ren, who was wearing gorgeous heavy armor, and Guan Yu, who was wearing a green robe, collided with the sword and shield, sparks flew everywhere, and the special effects were directly full.

But then a paragraph popped up: Do you think the game is like this? No, it should be. The next second. A strong man in simple armor, carrying a shield full of vicissitudes, walked out in a hurry.

On the opposite side, a burly man with a scarred face and crooked muscles rushed over quickly, dragging a huge halberd, stepping on flying dust.

"Heh~yay!" Bang dang! Like the dull sound of knocking on cowhide, it echoes in the newly replaced headset in the supply and marketing microcomputer room, which makes people's scalp tingle.

Immediately after that, the CG animation transforms into a game scene. The same character, the same action, the same effect...... [epic masterpiece, the first 3D online game in the East Qin Yan, today at 8 o'clock in the evening, see you or leave!]

【Semi-open world, a new generation of TEP super-capacity servers that can accommodate 50,000 characters online at the same time, allowing you to experience the end of the Qin Dynasty firsthand!

】

"My God, no wonder the studio has all retired, I'm afraid I didn't get the news a long time ago." Player next door: "Definitely, the game publisher must have talked to the studio. ”

"I'm afraid the legend isn't really cold."

"Compare goods and throw them away."

"I hope Qin Yan will be as good as advertised." The players who received the news, one to ten, ten to hundred, quickly poured into the Whoosh Fox Forum-Qin Yan section.

I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it. The Qin Yan section is almost the same as the Legend section, all of them are red headlines at the top, and the content is all related to gangs.

It's just that the legend has withdrawn from the tour and announced its entry here. And some people have reminded that players who have power banks can rely on

"Machine code", within two hours of logging into the game, activate the Starter Pack.

"My God, is this the support of Director Xu?"

"Grapevine, it is said that Director Xu attaches great importance to this matter and personally donated 500 million US dollars for Qin Yan to log in Europe and the United States."

"Hiss......"

"Don't go to the forum, let's log on to Qin Yan's official website and study the profession."

"Are there many professions?"

"No, for the time being, there are three, sword and shield bearers, halberd warriors, and archers, but it depends on the official settings

"Little Negro", there seems to be a Taoist priest who can heal and poison in the follow-up, a magic warlock who can attack in groups, an ink maker who can summon machinery, and many life assistance professions, it is not complicated to set up now, but to set a development route in advance, it is better than playing again when the time comes, after all, now the game development companies are all imitating the Three Kingdoms of Machinery. ”

"Makes sense." At this time, the player in front suddenly exclaimed,

"Oh my God, this company is the one who developed Qin Yan

The "target online" company is too powerful. ”

"How?"

"They actually bought out the Unreal Engine for GTA3 and then added the simulation technology of Osawa Industrial Design."

"How do you know?"

"Look at the corporate statement, it's all written in it."

"By the way, this engine is worth a lot of money?"

"It's not worth much, it's about the follow-up game research and development capabilities, which involve rendering, collision, detection, AI, graphics, networks and all kinds of files, with this thing, as long as the target online company ensures the survival of the development team, it will be completely possible for Qin Yan to follow the development of computer hardware in the future and make the game perform better and more extremely."

"I don't understand."

"In other words, two similar 3D games, played on the same computer, with the same picture quality, the better the game engine, the more efficient the performance, otherwise it will get stuck and lose frames......"

"I still don't understand."

"Play your game and go."

At 8 o'clock in the evening of "......", Qin Yan opened 10 sets of servers in a row. This makes players who have been waiting for a long time very dissatisfied.

However, it was soon discovered that after Zone 1 was full, players would be assigned to Zone 2, and players in Zone 2 who wanted to meet Zone 1 players only needed to run to the same coordinates and then choose to change route 1 to meet Zone 1 players.

Magical gameplay, which quickly attracted many technicians. And then got it

The AI algorithm of the oversized server. That is, Zone 1 is full, and players in Zone 2 want to go to Zone 1 to meet people, and while switching routes, a player who is on the outskirts of Zone 1, mining alone, or fighting monsters alone, will be killed with monsters

"Squeeze into a small scene server" without finding yourself changing lines. When there is a vacancy in Zone 1, players who fight monsters alone will automatically leave

"Small Scene Server", return to Zone 1. Of course, in order to avoid bugs, there is also a general algorithm covering 1~10 servers to prevent someone from taking advantage of this kind of play.

And 2 hours after the opening of the zone, the target online company issued its first announcement. Area 1~10, which is equal to the first server, uses the West Mountain map.

Area 11~20, which is equal to the second server, adopts the Yanqiu area. Area 21~30, equal to the third server, using the Dongshan map.

It was postponed to Area 70 in turn, and then the first expansion was opened, which was version 1.1, The Death of the Qin Emperor.

At the same time, you can enter the Great Secret Realm twice a week - Qin Annihilation Six Kingdoms, regardless of whether you clear the customs or not, destroy any enemy, and you may get equipment below level 10.

In addition, you can enter the small secret realm 5 times a day - Lanling King Breaking Array Song, and drop equipment below level 8.

The quality of the equipment dropped by each secret realm is linked to the difficulty of the secret realm. The difficulty of the experience → gray. Normal→ white.

As for dropping outfits and accessories

"Hard difficulty", dropping capes and mounts

"Heroic difficulty", drop the meritorious one

"Difficulty against the sky", Qin Yan will be opened in batches according to the progress of the expansion pack, according to the quarter and year.

However, the secret realm is just a way to play, and players who don't want to go to the secret realm can get it by doing quests

"Mission equipment", the attributes and characteristics are also very good, and even junglers can also form a strong combat power.

But if you want to PK, you have to enter

"Danger Zone", learn from NPCs with technology, or attack enemy forces

"Military uniforms" can gain an advantage in competition. Players looked at the announcement and didn't feel anything, but when they entered the game, they found that the map was not as big as usual.

It took 35 days to run from the map of Xishan in District 1~10 to the map of Yanqiu in District 11~10.

35 days in reality!

"Dog planner, this is a card game."

"It's okay, just get out of the mount."

"In other words, this seamless map technology, as well as the technology that can cross regions and servers at any time, how does it feel

"Three Kingdoms of Machinery"? ”

"Shhh

“……”…… The other side. The microcomputer room of the supply and marketing headquarters. This is a 500-meter-long corridor-type network cultural service center facing Tianmen Square.

The internal structure resembles a train car, with three machines side by side by the window, two more against the wall, and a booth in the middle.

There is a half-foot-wide conveyor belt at the top of the booth, if players need drinks, snacks, etc., just buy them on the microcomputer, and the waiter will use the conveyor belt to send the goods to the storage box marked with seats, waiting for players to swipe their cards to receive them.

Below the booth were popular toys, books, magazines, posters and more. There are a total of 1,666 machines in the entire store, one-fifth of which are special seats for minors, and the rest are special seats for adults, which cannot be turned on without identity authentication, and smoking is prohibited during the boarding period, noise is prohibited, and open defecation is prohibited.

Xu Fei wore a wig and a beard, disguised himself as a street artist, and carried an electric guitar that he couldn't play, and walked around the store.

Although it's not a holiday, it's not a Saturday or weekend, the store is still overcrowded, and there are more than 300 people waiting in line to find an empty seat tomorrow morning.

Without it, Internet access is cheaper than staying in a hotel, and next to Tianmen Square, wait until 5 o'clock in the morning to get off the plane, walk out of the store to participate in the flag-raising ceremony.

Most of the customers on the plane are couples or a family of three. A small number of them are listening to songs and watching movies, a small number are playing forums, a small number are playing CS, and the rest are all playing Qin Yan.

As for the legendary game...... In order to stop the stock crash, Goldman Sachs temporarily closed the login channel by claiming that the server failure caused the background data to be wrong, so many players would be lost.

This explanation is reasonable, but Goldman Sachs temporarily eased the pressure of public opinion, but failed to block the TEP group's lawsuit.

Because Goldman Sachs pushed the reason on the server, it was tantamount to spreading rumors about TEP Computer Services, making it

The "server rental business" was questioned around the world, and Strauss suffered heavy losses. For example, the 70 sets of servers leased by the target online company could have earned 3 billion red money, but because of Goldman Sachs' rumors, TEP Computer Services had to give a three-fold discount in order to retain this big customer.

Therefore, the salesman Klin, and Mrs. Klin, who is preparing to run for the next head of North America, visit Goldman Sachs Capital to make a claim.

Behind Goldman Sachs Capital is the Judas-Marcus family, and behind it is the Rothschild family, and the two sides have supported Roseevelt and other North American managers, and in the face of huge losses, they will definitely not give Kling face.

As a result, there was a conflict between TEP and Goldman Sachs Capital. Together with the Boston New Consortium, they also launched an attack posture against Goldman Sachs.

TEP is not a small business, it is a North American defense contractor, a second-largest shareholder of an international supply and marketing cooperative, a world-class supplier of crude oil, the world's largest toy chain owner, and owns three-fifths of the world's shares

"Eiffel Tower". The Boston New Consortium is not a rabble, with 17 of the world's top 100 companies.

Now that the two sides are in a bad situation, Goldman Sachs' financial business in North America has begun to decline sharply. However, these overseas operations are temporarily in charge of TEP Chairman James.

Xu Fei mainly solves the problems in the east, that is, to give private capital the ability to resist foreign capital.

At present, although Qin Yan has been put into operation and is in good form, his eggs cannot be put in one basket.

In other words, Shengda Network's sale of the company to Goldman Sachs is a lesson from the past. Therefore, Xu Fei looked for it again

"Sword Seal",

Games such as "Swordsman Love" inject funds, technology, and personnel respectively to let the other party own

The ability to be "sustainable". And let the secretary team increase investment in the studio, which is used to expand the peripheral products of each game, create industries, create jobs, and expand domestic demand.

It can be said that playing games is also a bonus. It stands to reason that if you are engaged in industry, it seems that there is no need to engage in games.

But when people are full and idle and have nothing to do, they will think wildly, they will go around expressing their personal opinions, and they will give birth to big chaos.

And after the outbreak of the end times, everyone went into the shelter and had to do something every day except eating, drinking, and Lazar.

Isn't playing games the best way to spend time? Xu Fei wandered around the computer room while thinking, and soon walked into the supply and marketing headquarters.

That's when Raymond called.

"Xu, stop it."

"What?"

"Everything that happened to the legend must be related to you."

"Lao Lei, with my temper, if you want to engage in Goldman Sachs in the East, do you think I will use such a small means? I will first let the supply and marketing computer room collectively remove the legend from the shelves, and then through the radio station agency, cancel the version number of the legend, and then kill a few Goldman Sachs shareholders. ”

“……”

"So the problem that Goldman Sachs encountered was really not done by me, it should be

"Market factors" lead to the fact that, after all, Goldman Sachs, a person who plays finance, suddenly broke into the game industry, and they can figure out how to play in a short period of time? ”

"Well, this has nothing to do with you, but the NSA revealed that Goldman Sachs is eyeing you."

"Anyone who wants to kill me can join hands and line up around the home planet, not inferior to them."

"The problem is, they think it's you, and I'm worried that they're going to my hound."

"I'll go abroad now, you help pass a message to them, come to Aynak if you have the ability, I'll wait." Approaching May, Debei has completed the delivery of materials to the Aynak copper mine and is about to be fully mined.

In order to block the development of Germany, North America will certainly secretly engage in sabotage. If these North American GIs are caught, they claim to be ruthless people sent by Goldman Sachs, and then ask Goldman Sachs for money, then I don't know whether Raymond will pay or Goldman Sachs will pay for it.
