After the meeting, Lin Yi was left by the second-in-command to eat in Ziguang Pavilion, and the next day he sent a special plane to send Lin Yi back to his own city.

When he got home, Lin Yi handed over his medal of honor to his sister, and when Lin Qiao saw it, she cried with joy, she was going to her parents' grave to tell them the good news!

On the other hand, Lin Yi uploaded the official version of "Plants vs. Zombies" to the Internet, and announced on the forum that it would be on sale!

The sale price is 1299 yuan!

This price is not high, but it is not low, Lin Yi thinks it is more appropriate, after all, it is only a 2D painting style game, and the operation is relatively simple, which belongs to the kind that is suitable for all ages.

Therefore, he set the price of the game relatively close to the people, that is, one-third of the average person's monthly salary.

Of course, some people still think that this price is expensive, and some white prostitute parties and student parties hope that Lin Yi can reduce the price of the game.

But there are also fans who oppose the price reduction, they say that garbage games like "Little Dog Shovel Officer" can still be sold for 899, and Lin Yi's boutique game is only 400 yuan more expensive than it, which is already very conscientious.

Lin Yi also felt that this price was very conscientious, so he did not make changes and still sold it at this price.

"Dear players, this game is expected to start at eight o'clock tomorrow, in order to prevent the last time there was too many people, and the game could not be downloaded smoothly, I have specially prepared three download channels."

"The first two download channels are for all employees, and the last one is for crowdfunding players, so you can enjoy faster download speeds!"

Seeing the news released by Lin Yi, the crowdfunding players were overjoyed, they finally experienced the feeling of privilege, and they no longer had to compete with those white prostitutes.

With everything ready, Lin Yi waited to see how it would be released the next day, and he expected that it should exceed five million copies!

"If I can sell five million copies, then my income will reach 6495000000! It's definitely enough to optimize your next game! ”

"In addition, this is only the domestic sales data, if you count the foreign ...... The number is even more terrifying! ”

Lin Yi felt a burst of excitement in his heart, this would be the most money he had ever made!

Because he was so excited, Lin Yi didn't sleep much all night, and finally it was dawn, and it was eight o'clock, and the game release officially began!

Lin Yi looked at the sales data in the background, and was very nervous, although he knew that the sales of the game would be very hot, but the price was indeed a little high, so he was worried that it would not meet his expectations.

However, the enthusiasm of the players greatly exceeded Lin Yi's expectations, and the sales number was beating rapidly, and in just one hour, more than one million copies had been sold!

Lin Qiao said happily: "It has exceeded one million copies so quickly, and five million copies is absolutely no problem!" ”

However, I don't know why, the growth rate of sales data suddenly slowed down, and Lin Yi's heart sank: "What's the matter?" Am I overestimating myself? ”

Lin Qiao got the news and hurriedly told Lin Yi: "Brother, the first two download channels in front of you collapsed again because there were too many people, so the sales data stopped scrolling, and now only the sales channel of the last crowdfunding player is running, it's not that no one buys your game, don't worry." ”

"I see." Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, he was really worried that his game would not sell.

But thinking about it, I think it's unlikely, because this game has been popular with players since it came out, even the demo version has countless viewers, and even the streamers of the live game can make money with this game, so there is no situation where it can't be sold.

After the emergency repair of the website, the two download channels finally returned to normal, and the sales data began to scroll wildly again.

The pent-up sales enthusiasm due to previous problems exploded instantly, and in about an hour, the sales data of "Plants vs. Zombies" officially exceeded five million copies!

This is a new game sales record in the history of Dahuaguo! Even in the world, it is a rare existence!

The corners of Lin Yi's mouth raised, and his heart was full of pride, this time, it was stable!

A crazy day passed, and within 24 hours of the sales deadline, Lin Yi's "Plants vs. Zombies" sold a total of 7,698,443 copies, far exceeding expectations!

Lin Qiao counted the sales amount in the background: "Ten hundred and one hundred billion...... Billion! Brother, you actually made 10 billion! Oh, my God! ”

Lin Yi smiled: "It's nothing, sister, I will make more money in the future!" ”

He was right, after the day's release, the game's popularity continued unabated, selling more than a million copies every day!

In addition to buying it to play for themselves, many people will also give it to friends and family to experience the game together.

In addition, Lin Yi also added a leaderboard system to this game, so that everyone can compete with each other to see who clears the game faster and gets more points.

This invisibly boosted the sales of the game and made it even more popular.

"Plants vs. Zombies" has also spread to foreign countries at the scene of hot sales in China, and a large number of foreign players are desperately greedy.

However, because of the different region codes, they can't play it, so they can only wait for the overseas version of the game to be released.

As a result, many foreign players are fascinated by watching the game videos brought over every day, and the major game anchors analyze the game content in various ways, and the forum is also a hot discussion, and now, almost the whole world is discussing Lin Yi's games, and he has also become a hot genius designer!

Of course, foreigner Qian Linyi wanted to earn it, so he asked Zhang Lianzhong and his team to devote themselves to intense work again after resting for three days and start making overseas versions.

Zhang Lianzhong and his brothers were already very tired, but when they saw that Lin Yi gave each of them more than 10 million bonuses, they suddenly began to devote themselves to crazy work again.

In fact, more than 10 million can already give them financial freedom and early retirement.

However, there is still a strength in their hearts, that is, they hope to accompany Lin Yi, a genius of the world, to go on all the way.

So they worked tirelessly, continued to work for Lin Yi, and did their best to do everything well.

However, Lin Yi still feels very sorry for these people, he has received a notice that there are seven excellent software teams in the country to follow his command and help him optimize the game, and make a trial version and an official version, as well as an overseas version.

As for the cost of optimizing the game, the king will bear half of it, and the rest will depend on Lin Yi himself, after all, the treasury is not rich.

Lin Yi understands this, and is very grateful for the help of the International, he now has money, and this cost is nothing at all!

Held a video conference with the heads of the seven software teams on the Internet, Lin Yi emphasized his requirements, and then handed over the seven games he designed to the seven teams, and asked them to keep them strictly confidential, prohibit leakage, and prevent them from being plagiarized by bad guys, especially foreign forces.

After all, a good game can bring huge economic benefits.

The hit sale of Plants vs. Zombies is a stark example of this.

To this end, the heads of all seven teams signed non-disclosure agreements, guaranteeing that no secrets would be leaked.

"Brother, do you want to release these games together?" Lin Qiao asked, Lin Yi shook his head: "Of course not, if it is released in a bunch, the players' attention will be distracted, and they will not be able to calm down and experience a game carefully." ”

"And players' wallets are also limited, and a one-time emptying is not displayed, so it is more appropriate to release one every few months."

Lin Yi's idea is that three months after "Plants vs. Zombies", "Resident Evil" will be released, and then "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" will be released three months later, and so on, followed by "Happy Match" and "Black Myth: Wukong", "Diablo", "StarCraft" and "Genshin Impact".

The games he designed were some of the best in the world.

There are all kinds of types, suitable for all ages, and it can be said that everyone eats all!

"So now there are eight games, I believe they can all get the title of palace-level games, and there are two more games, I already have an idea, and I will design them after all eight games are released."

Lin Yi's brain is very tired from designing these games, so he needs to take a good rest, anyway, he is not short of money and can enjoy life.

Lin Yi decided to take his sister on a national trip and then travel the world.

Lin Qiao was reluctant to let go of her fans, so during the trip, she insisted on live broadcasting for a few hours every day, and at the same time reported to the fans about her and her brother's current situation.

Half a month later, Zhang Lianzhong's team had already produced the overseas version of "Plants vs. Zombies", and Lin Yi immediately put it on foreign websites for foreign players to download.

Not surprisingly, on the first day of the game's release, there was the same grand situation as in China, with sales rising and new highs!

When Lin Yi woke up the next day and checked the sales data, he was shocked again!

More than 25.9 million copies were sold worldwide! That's more than three times more than in China!

You must know that in order to reflect the superiority of domestic players, Lin Yi priced the overseas version of "Plants vs. Zombies" at 399 US dollars, which is much higher than the domestic price.

In fact, Lin Yi didn't know that the price of foreign games is generally not low, especially the games of those large game companies, which often start at 599 and 799!

Not to mention that his game is more fun than those games, and the price is cheaper, so foreign players will naturally not miss it and buy it one after another.

There are also many foreign players who say, why not sell physical games? Even if the price is high, they have to buy it, because Lin Yi's game is extremely collectible.

It's a pity that Lin Yi is now traveling and doesn't have the energy to do such a thing, but he also feels that this is a business opportunity, so he asked Li Hu to help him contact a reliable game manufacturer to act as an agent for the foreign copyright of his game and produce and sell physical games.

Of course, the contract for the agency game is drafted by Lin Yi, and the game manufacturer will sign it if he wants to, and replace it if he doesn't want to!

Fools don't want to!

When the sales figures for Plants vs. Zombies were announced, the entire gaming industry was shocked!

Because no other game sells so many copies! Almost all the total sales of all games throughout the year!

What kind of concept is this? With one game, Lin Yi defeated hundreds of thousands of game designers and hundreds of game companies across the country!

The CEO of the company that dug a pit for Lin Yi's contract before was repentant, if he was willing to cooperate fairly with Lin Yi, now his company would become the industry leader!

It's a pity that these capitalists and profiteers are only willing to cheat people, but they are not willing to do business well, so there is no way, Lin Yi teaches them to be people!

After arranging things properly, Lin Yi continued to take his sister to swim in the great mountains and rivers, and the scenery of this world was almost exactly the same as his original world, which was also a matter of heart.

At night, Lin Yi and Lin Qiao each slept in a tent, Lin Yi couldn't sleep, so he looked at the stars in the sky and thought.

"If I leave this world, my sister will be very sad, right?"

He sighed and said: "This is also something that can't be helped, sooner or later I have to return to my own world, every time I part, it makes me uncomfortable, but I can't help it, life is so helpless!" ”
