Superstition is certainly not a no-go.

But there is one thing that does make Chen Ba mind very much, sometimes it is not good not to believe in evil.

He's out of luck!

The so-called bad luck does not refer to the fact that the card is drawn out of a five-star exclusive character, and the guarantee is a trivial matter, although he plays the game, it is indeed very bad luck.

Chen Ba's bad luck is mainly reflected in daily life.

In just one week, Chen Ba experienced a series of strange incidents such as having his wallet stolen, being rear-ended while driving, being chased and bitten by a dog while walking, and slipping his foot into an artificial lake.

Fortunately, it's not fatal.

However, this also reminded him that his luck may not be good recently, and he should have been cursed by the villain, and the will of heaven in the dark has been punished.

In order to save the dog's life, Chen Ba specially bought three statues of gods that were said to be consecrated by the master online and put them in the office to suppress the evil spirit.

"You thing...... Is it reliable? ”

As soon as Zhong Shengwei entered the office, he saw the statue of the god placed on the bookshelf behind him, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Of course it's reliable!"

"This is the statue of the god that I asked the master to consecrate, and it is said to be effective!"

Seeing that Comrade Xiao Zhong seemed to be questioning his beliefs, Chen Ba couldn't help but complain: "Don't look at these three gods very strangely, but let me tell you, these three gods are ......."

"I don't need an introduction, I know."

Zhong Shengwei waved his hand, signaling that Brother Ba didn't need to give himself science about what kind of god this was.

He is also half a card guy, how can he not know the three gods worshiped by Brother Ba? Isn't it the famous traitor dragon, sacrificial soldier and corpse deceitful bird in "Yu-Gi-Oh"!

Saying......

Is this the "transshipment" of the three gods that Brother Ba bought with a huge amount of money, or is it the master Kaiguang version? This master, can't his real name be Muto Games?

"What are you doing with this......

Zhong Shengwei was very puzzled, although the fame of the Three Illusion Gods is very great, and Brother Ba is likely to be a card boss, but it will not be offered, right?

"I don't understand!"

"Let me ask you a question, which anime work is the Three Phantom Gods from?"

"Yu-Gi-Oh!"

Zhong Shengwei replied without thinking, and as soon as he finished speaking, he understood what Brother Ba meant.

I see!

It's fake to make this Three Illusion God suppress evil, mainly to express Brother Ba's ambition and hope to become the "Game King".

Come to think of it, it's a pretty good thing!

Although this game is not the same game, the implication is excellent, and I hope that Tianba Studio will become the king of the game entertainment industry.

"What are you doing here?"

After explaining the reason why he bought the Three Illusion God Statue with a lot of money, Chen Ba asked curiously, "Resign?" ”

"I used to have the idea of quitting, but now I don't."

Zhong Shengwei shook his head and said that he was not here to resign, but to find Brother Ba, hoping to transfer from the game development department to the game operation department managed by Yang Dong.

"Give me a reason!"

The development of new games is short of manpower, and Zhong Shengwei wants to change positions, which is something that Chen Ba can't understand.

The salary and benefits of the development position are much higher than those of the operation department, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is two extremes, why does Zhong Shengwei want to change positions?

"I'm getting married, my girlfriend is pregnant, and my family may involve a lot of energy, which is not suitable for overtime or high-intensity work."

Zhong Shengwei told the truth.

He accidentally killed his girlfriend, so it was natural to decide to get married. The development position is indeed much higher in terms of benefits and salaries, but the work pressure is also very high, and he often works overtime, Zhong Shengwei feels that he is not competent.

"OK, I promised."

This is a valid reason, Chen Ba can also understand Xiao Zhong's embarrassment, and agreed to his application for transfer.

It's just that Chen Ba was still very surprised when he suddenly learned the news that Zhong Shengwei was going to get married, especially Zhong Shengwei, the kid who got on the bus first and then made up the ticket, even had a child.

it!

It's too fast!

"What a good thing! I've known each other for so long, we have to go to Xiao Zhong's wedding, and by the way, we're happy......"

After telling Yang Dong about Zhong Shengwei's transfer, he also expressed the same emotion.

Chen Ba turned his head to look at him.

He couldn't tell whether Brother Dong's "joyful" was true or verbal, but the fact in front of him was that Brother Dong was still alone at the age of thirty.

Can't really let go of that person?

To be reasonable, after getting along for so many years, Chen Ba can't stand it as a bystander. Sometimes I want to wake up this coward of the, but every time the words come to my mouth, I swallow them again.

Don't persuade others to be kind without others suffering.

What has Brother Dong experienced with his ex-girlfriend, and what kind of relationship has it been so far, he doesn't know how to enlighten Brother Dong?

I hope Brother Dong will wake up soon!

Chen Ba, who didn't want to talk deeply on this topic, so as not to touch Brother Dong's sadness, coughed and asked, "How many copies of "Don't Go After School" have been sold?" ”

"Break 2 million copies immediately!"

Yang Dong explained: "The growth of sales has slowed down a bit, but the popularity of the game has remained good, and many players have the idea of entering the pit. ”

"The reason why the popularity of the game is okay, but the sales growth is very slow, is actually because many people have heard the news that "Don't Leave After School" will be converted to a free-to-play game."

During this time, the Internet has been full of news and reports of "Don't Leave After School".

Many players are curious about this "money-making" game and can't wait to buy a copy to see if they can really make money.

But just when passers-by and players were tempted to start the game, a person familiar with the matter broke the news that "Don't Leave After School" was about to become a free-to-play game.

At this moment, everyone is waiting and watching.

Tianba Studio needs to make an announcement, either to clarify the "false rumors" or to disclose the follow-up plan, otherwise the sales growth will still be very slow.

"Then let's make it public!"

Paid games to free games, Tianba Studio is already very experienced, after all, the previous "Star Emperor" also did this.

Various compensation schemes, and even game announcements, can be copied directly from "Star Emperor".

It is worth mentioning.

"Star Emperor" is free, that's because the game is basically not bought, rather than relying on this, it is better to transfer it for free to increase some popularity.

The reason why this game has changed from paid to free is not because no one bought the game, but because Tianba Studio needs to open up new revenue streams.

Otherwise, the server can't afford it!

It's not a joke......

As more and more players poured into the game, all five of the previous districts experienced a round of server expansion.

But even so, the server pressure is still very high, and the player activity of "Don't Leave After School" is extremely high, and the average number of people online is ridiculously high, Tianba Studio is really a bit unbearable.

"The enthusiasm of players online is really exaggerated! At three or four o'clock in the morning, there are still 400,000 people online in our game......"

When Yang Dong said this, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "The popular district service of the third district and the fifth district, every night from 19:00 to 23:00, there will always be more than 100,000 people in line, and the waiting time in line starts at least 30 minutes. ”

And that's not to blame the players for their enthusiasm.

At the end of the day, it's the game "Don't Leave School" that is so special.

Playing other games is not only a waste of time, but also a waste of money, after all, it is a waste of life.

Playing Don't Leave School is different.

Invite a few friends to play marbles and play entertainment mode, not only to relax the mood, but also to share the advertising fee in the area according to the game duration and the number of games.

This must not be played desperately?

To put it mildly, since "Don't Leave After School" introduced the game partner mechanism and entered the era of "district server autonomy", players' enthusiasm for playing and online time have increased several times.

Yang Dong told Chen Ba.

There is a player in the second area of "Don't Leave School", I don't know what he does in reality, but he plays more than 12 hours a day anyway.

Not one day, but every day!

This is simply treating "Don't Leave After School" as a job, and it is a job that is willing to work overtime.

"Oh? And such people? ”

Chen Ba was a little curious: "Then if he does this, can he really earn income to support himself in the game?" ”

"Yes."

"The income he earns in the game is mainly divided into two parts, one part is the various advertising fees shared by the district, and the other part is peddling marbles......

Because of the long online time and the good honing of his skills, he can earn a lot of marbles in the game.

And these marbles are actually alternative game currency, which can be sold to those who have money, which is equivalent to the "gold merchant" in the game.

In this way, his monthly income is actually not bad, at least about the same as the assembly line salary of the electronics factory!

"Pro Gamer ......"

Chen Ba said with some admiration: "This is really playing games as a job, and making a living from it." ”

In fact, this kind of player is similar to the League of Legends booster play, the game merchant in some online games, and the professional player who is born dependent on the game.

It's just that begging for a living in the game "Don't Leave After School" is still relatively easy for boosters, companions, and game merchants.

Because professional players such as boosters, companions, and game merchants are, in the final analysis, also a kind of service industry, and they need to maintain the service mentality that customers are God at all times.

But to make money in "Don't Leave After School", you don't need to serve anyone, you don't need to keep a smile, you don't have the concept of guests, you can just play like a normal player.

"Will this be exploited?"

Chen Ba thought of a possibility.

That's a game studio, using scripts or multiple tools, using multiple computers, to get advertising money in "Don't Leave School"?

"That's true."

Yang Dong nodded, indicating that he had discovered recently that the game had been targeted by many brick-moving studios.

Merely......

After all, the game "Don't Leave After School" is produced by Tianba Studio, and Tianba Studio's games have a traditional craft.

What traditional craft?

Of course, it is to tell whether the player in front of the screen is a real person or a "dummy"!

Chen Ba can't say exactly how this technology was realized, but it can only be attributed to the magical AI judgment mechanism of the Tie Hanhan system.

Anyway, whether it's the studio, the script brother or the plug-in dog, it can't escape the eyes of the law anyway, and it basically doesn't exist to fool the AI review.

That's why.

Those brick-moving studios who wanted to come to "Don't Leave After School" to pick up wool, not only did they not get the wool, but they were backhanded by Brother Ba.

Don't ask, it's the cost of buying a game, 68 yuan is not money?

The account I just bought was blocked, which is equivalent to giving away 68 yuan for nothing, and these studios have dozens or hundreds of accounts, and the losses are not heavy.

"From this point of view, if we move to free-to-play games, it will be good for these studios? After all, the cost of the account is very low, which is about the same as no ......"

"I can't say that."

Yang Dong shook his head and said: "The Nobug platform is also very strict with the crackdown on accounts registered in batches by this kind of studio. ”

Registering a Tianba account may seem like no cost, but in fact, the process is quite cumbersome and requires multiple rounds of identity verification.

Yang Dong resolutely implemented Brother Ba's "one person, one number" instruction, and severely cracked down on the behavior of opening trumpets.

Under normal circumstances, an ID card and a phone number can only register one Tianba account, want to open a small number? Then you'll need an additional ID and phone number.

The cost is still quite high.

And even if you make a bunch of small accounts, it's useless, Tianba Studio has opened the hanging, and can distinguish the nature of the player in front of the screen, and if you say that the account is banned, the account will be banned.

Forget about wool.

Brother Ba's wool can only be picked by normal players, and abnormal players want to pick wool, which is tantamount to a fool's dream.

Trivia!

Of the more than 1.5 million players in "Don't Leave School", about two-thirds of the players have earned back the 68 yuan they spent on buying the game through the mode of playing games and watching ads.

"So many?"

Yang Dong didn't look at the data carefully, and suddenly heard that so many people had earned back their capital, and his expression was very stunned.

"What?"

Chen Ba smiled and calculated an account for Yang Dong.

The cost of an advertisement starts at about 300,000 yuan, and the delivery time is long or short, the short may be a week, and the longer the advertising fee is, the longer the advertising cost.

With a minimum of 300,000 yuan, the revenue of about 220 advertisements can basically wipe out the cost of 1 million players to buy the game.

It's been three months since Don't Leave School has been in place, and there are five zones in the game. On average, just over 40 ads are enough for a district.

March 12 weeks, 40 ads.

To be reasonable, this is really not an exaggeration, and the actual number of advertisements in the district has long exceeded this number.

Theoretically, all players of "Don't Leave After School" can earn back the capital to buy the game.

It's just that some players have too few online times, and they have turned on the pure mode and don't accept any ad harassment, so only one-third of the players didn't earn 68 yuan.

"it!"

It's not that I don't know, but I'm shocked.

After listening to Brother Ba's calculation, Yang Dong said speechlessly: "Dare we develop a game and sell it to more than a million players to play, but it turned out to be a bunch of advertisers who paid the money?" ”

What an abstraction!

More than a million players prostituted a game worth 68 yuan for nothing, which is definitely a jaw-dropping scene in the game industry.

But it happened to the game "Don't Leave School", why is it so normal?
