Chapter 23: The Beginning of a Chain Reaction
On the morning of January 22.
Luo Dayou was carrying a plastic bag containing a boxed lunch he had just bought from outside.
"Lao Luo, turn on, your Internet café has been getting more and more deserted recently." Two regular customers walked in outside the door, looking at the less than half of the full capacity in the Internet café, and opened their mouths to come.
Luo Dayou took the ID cards in their hands and shook his head helplessly: "No way, times have changed, the computer configuration at home is high, who wants to come to the smoky place of the Internet café." ”
A man shook his head: "Hey, if you want me to say no, the main thing is that the atmosphere of the Internet café has changed." ”
Another man nodded: "No, it turns out that the Internet café is so lively, I love to come and join in the fun when I have nothing to do, which is like now, it is not good." ”
"Okay, don't be poor, you two should start the machine quickly."
As shown above, Luo Dayou is an Internet café owner.
More than ten years ago, he was still an unemployed young man who dropped out of school and was unemployed, and accumulated his first fortune by his own efforts, and opened a small Internet café when the Internet first came into people's sight, and since then he has formed an indissoluble bond with the Internet café.
As the owner of an Internet café that has been open for more than ten years, Luo Dayou has opened a lot of Internet cafes, and there are also many friends who also open Internet cafes and Internet addicts with similar interests, but in recent years, the homogenization of games and the prevalence of home networks have made the life of Internet cafes more and more difficult.
The days when Internet cafes were once full and in full swing seem to be gone forever.
Sometimes, Luo Dayou is also thinking that it is the fish who are brave in the torrent, and it is the people who go to the heights, so should he quit the industry while he still has some savings.
Thinking so, Luo Dayou took out his mobile phone holder, opened the Dingdong live APP, and opened the lunch box at the same time.
"Hello everyone, babies, we are a manufacturer live broadcast...... There is no middleman to make the difference, we will give you unimaginable discounts, you must not miss it! ”
"Live broadcast with goods, boring, flip~"
"As far as the background of the recent incident is too fake, I have been deeply involved in the live broadcast industry for many years, and I have rich experience and professionalism, I am sure that this is a whole team, with premeditated and conspiracy malicious hype, the purpose is to cash out traffic!"
"Nonsensical complaints, boring, flip~"
"You love me, I love you, we are sweet and sweet, jingle ......"
"Beautiful women dance... Disturb me to repair, turn ~"
", Brother Zhao, my father, or your uncle and grandfather...... I was wrong, I was wrong, don't come here!! ”
"Well, what is this? It's kind of interesting! ”
Luo Dayou has watched a lot of live videos, but this anchor who can call you so affectionate is still the first one.
Let's take a look at the name of the live broadcast room, "The 108th employee of Xunhong Game Company: Brother Zhao, my sister-in-law called you and called you home for dinner!" 》。
So, this is a video of a game company employee streaming a game?
With curiosity, Luo Dayou searched for Xunhong Company on the Dingdong live broadcast platform, and saw a string of results.
The first employee of Xunhong Game Company: The boss paid his salary in advance, we played games with pay, and you are still at work and your popularity is not angry!
The second employee of Xunhong Game Company: It is the first time to be able to play games with my chest held up in front of my wife, thanks to our lovely boss!
The third employee of Xunhong Game Company: The son who plays the game said to me: Dad, is your boss an angel?!
......
"Poof"
opened the soda, poured a sip, opened several live broadcast rooms at random, and found that they were all broadcasting the same game, and the people who broadcast the live broadcast were not the kind of professional live broadcasters, they should all be employees of this company, Luo Dayou glanced at the name of the game.
""Taciturn, what kind of ghost game, haven't you heard of it?"
With doubts, Luo Dayou picked up the rice with one hand and searched for the game with the other, and at the same time, his eyes never left the live broadcast.
Luo Dayou looked at the graphics of the game.
"The world-style battle royale game in the dark department, the painting seems to be pretty good, huh?"
"But why do these people keep spitting fragrant mouths when they chase and fight?"
This aroused Luo Dayou's strong curiosity.
As the manager of the Internet café, Luo Dayou basically plays the new games, and the downloaded games on his host will also be automatically transmitted and synchronized with all the Internet café extensions.
5 G, okay, not big.
He clicked to download the game, because it was 6G optical fiber, and soon, in less than half a minute, the game was downloaded and installed.
Throw the lunch box in the trash, turn off the live stream, and open the game.
Upon entering the game, the first is a CG animation, and the perspective seems to be a nightmare waiting for an opportunity, descending on a city, and the moment everyone falls asleep, invades their minds.
Subsequently, the real world collapses, the screen changes to the inner world, and the game officially enters the login screen.
Luo Dayou lifted Erlang's legs, and the corners of his mouth rose.
Just looking at this CG, it may not cost much, but it is full of creativity, especially the transformation of the world inside and outside, even Luo Dayou, who has played so many games, is quite cool.
Enter the login screen, set your name, and start pinching your face.
[Please ask the player "Luo Dayou" to select the face pinching option.] (Note: Once selected, it cannot be adjusted.) )】
"Huh? What the hell is AI facial recognition? ”
Luo Dayou was stunned for a moment, subconsciously clicked it, and heard it before he could react.
[Recognition successful, character generation]
Luo Dayou's mouth opened slightly, and he watched a miniature version of himself appear on the computer screen.
"In this game, the boss is a bit of a tyrant?!"
smashed his tongue, Luo Dayou has long known that there is a function of AI face pinching, but because of the high price, except for some dress-up games, many companies will not add this function, I didn't expect to see it in this small game company.
"It seems that there is no cumbersome tutorial for beginners? Isn't that the time to start? ”
Luo Dayou clicks the game, 64 people are matched, and the game enters the loading ......
[There are currently 7 people waiting in the game waiting hall, less than 64 people, and the estimated waiting time is 15:25.] 】
???
What the hell, did it take so long for the game to start!
Luo Dayou was shocked, and immediately opened the official website of the game, and looked at the number of downloads, 5223?!
Luo Dayou looked at the computer and fell into deep thought.
Is this really a new game?
Look at this picture quality,There should be a lot of money invested in research and development.,Why is the number of downloads so small?
But if you buy a few advertising spaces and simply promote them, the initial downloads of any game can easily break 100,000?
Check out the game ads again... Luo Dayou found out that he was wrong.
No, maybe...... Strictly speaking, the boss of this game may not have wanted to do publicity, and the release and evaluation report of this game cannot be seen on major platforms!
It shouldn't be.,Just talking about the AI face pinching and picture quality of this game.,It should have cost a lot of money.,It's not so much that you can't even get the publicity money, right?
The game seems to be intentional, deliberately not allowing players to pool enough people to play the game.
Thinking of this, Luo Dayou glanced at the people in the Internet café, and there was an invincible domineering spirit in his eyes.
"Interesting, if you want to limit me with the number of people, do you look down on me as an Internet café owner?"
