Chapter 266: News of Tianba Mansion (Happy New Year to everyone)

Tianba Studio has a number of games, and these games are quite popular, and the popular characters in the games are naturally very popular.

But in the area of game derivatives, Tianba Studio has not done a particularly good job......

Chen Ba knows this.

Hu Xi, the protagonist of "Once Upon a Time in a Mountain Village", has peripheral derivatives that are loved and sought after by players, and this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened.

Before this, Huang Qing mentioned to him that the studio's game IP has high derivative value, but they didn't use it.

Take "Divine Grace Continent" as an example.

After this game became popular, many NPCs also became popular, and there are many fanfic second creations on the Internet.

For example, the king, who is nicknamed "old father-in-law" by players, is a frequent visitor to the second creation video!

But it's a pity that Tianba Studio didn't take advantage of the popularity of these white picks to open up a new way of money for the studio, which is undoubtedly a tyrannical approach for Huang Qing.

In fact......

Regarding game peripherals, Tianba Studio is not without doing, in addition to selling digital hardware such as graphics card CPUs and memory modules, Xianyu Digital will also sell some official game peripherals.

But that's all petty fighting.

What keychains, refrigerator magnets, pillows and mouse pads, etc., although these peripherals are very good, they do not satisfy Huang Qing.

"Figures, dolls, models, ......"

Huang Qing said a lot, and felt that the studio should pay attention to this aspect and not waste the popularity and popularity of major game IPs.

Chen Ba was unimpressed at first.

He still has the old idea, thinking that these things are just small roads, and he can't make a lot of money at all, after all, there are figure models or something, how many players are willing to pay?

It wasn't until this time that Hu Xi, the protagonist of "Once Upon a Time in a Mountain Village", became popular all over the Internet, and all kinds of peripheral derivatives were sold on sale, that he changed his concept.

This thing seems to have a big market?

Chen Ba admitted that he really underestimated this market. The most important thing is that he didn't expect Hu Xi to be so loved and sought after by players.

But it's not a big problem......

It's not too late to make amends!

Although this aspect was not taken seriously at first, many opportunities were missed. But now that he takes it seriously, he won't make the same mistake again.

The first batch of game peripheral derivatives that have been authorized to be produced by OEM may not have been expected by everyone.

That's right!

The object is the old scalper who has accompanied the protagonist for many years in "Cold Window Reading Simulator" and has formed a deep "friendship" with players!

This old scalper is the first batch of products developed and designed by Tianba Studio after it attached importance to the market around the game.

The product was made into an ornament.

As a game peripheral, the price is even more expensive than the game itself, and it is limited to 10,000 copies!

Chen Ba's move was to test the players' consumption and the recognition of the game's peripheral derivatives.

But he never expected that the 10,000 old cattle ornaments, priced at 99 yuan and limited to 10,000 copies, would be swept away by the diving cattle herding believers in just a few hours on the market.

【This item is sold out!】 】

Looking at the conspicuous reminder words on the screen, Rao is Chen Ba was mentally prepared, and he was also shocked at this moment.

"Not ......"

"Are there still so many Cattle Herding believers?" He looked at Huang Qing and asked the doubts in his heart.

Selling out is not a problem.

If it was the most popular time of "Cold Window Reading Simulator", not to mention the limited edition of 10,000 copies, even if it was 100,000 copies, it was estimated that enthusiastic players could buy it out in an instant.

But here's the problem......

How many years ago is "Cold Window Reading Simulator"? Is there still so many active players in this game, and there are still so many followers of the Cattle Herding Sect?

"Not really."

Huang Qing shook his head and explained, "What do you understand as a believer in the Cattle Herding Sect? Have you been playing the game "Cold Window Reading Simulator"? ”

If you are a player who has been playing this game, there will definitely not be 10,000 people until now, and it is estimated that there will be only two or three thousand people.

These players, even if everyone buys peripherals, it is impossible to buy out 10,000 scalper ornaments! What's more, there won't be such an outrageous thing as everyone buying peripherals!

Among the players who are still playing the game, only about one-tenth of them participated in this rush sale, and the participation is participatory, whether they bought it or not is another matter.

"The limited edition of 10,000 scalper ornaments has been swept away, and the main consumer force comes from those old players who have abandoned the pit."

Huang Qing explained: "This is also what I said, although most people don't play "Cold Window Reading Simulator" anymore, there are still a large number of people in the cattle herding sect. ”

Joke!

Unless all the original players die of old age, the Cattle Herding Sect will never be destroyed. Even if it is suppressed, it only takes a little spark to resurrect!

Questioning no one, don't question the original group of cattle herding believers, their faith loyalty is quite high.

"Is it so outrageous?"

Chen Ba muttered, wondering if Huang Qing was exaggerating the "meme-playing" sect of the Cattle Herding Sect?

Not that exaggerated, right?

He knows better than anyone the origin of the cattle herding sect, and at first it was a funny group established by a few players who played stalks, at the behest of a man surnamed Wang.

That's right, funny groups!

Chen Ba never took the organizations that players spontaneously set up by the Cattle Herding Sect, the Gumua Sect, and the Tianshu Holy Land seriously, thinking that they were just a joke.

This is the same as the "FFF" Inquisition that became popular with the broadcast of a neon anime drama in the early years.

At that time, he also played this meme with the trend, and claimed to be a member of the "FFF" honorary team, and often joked about it.

However, he does not believe that he genuinely endorses the so-called "FFF" heresy and is loyal to the organization or sect.

Nonsense!

An organization that is playing around on the Internet, no one really believes it, right?

"You're right, but I want to emphasize that when the Cattle Herding Sect was first established, most of the members did play memes and follow the trend......

Huang Qing did not deny Chen Ba's statement, because this is the truth, the Cattle Herding Sect was a funny organization from the beginning, and no one, including the sect leader and the high priest, took this organization seriously.

But today is different!

With the slow precipitation of time, the Cattle Herding Sect has long since changed from a funny organization to a serious sect with a group of "like-minded" people for warmth.

Of course!

No matter how much they change, the inherently funny elements of this organization still exist, so their program and teachings are still humorous and funny in the eyes of outsiders.

It's just that these humorous and funny programs or teachings used to be talked about and played, and no one believed them to be true, let alone consciously abide by them.

But now there is!

"I've heard of it, but I didn't expect it to be so abstract." Chen Ba frowned.

He actually didn't understand.

If it's just playing for fun, there's nothing wrong with those bullherding believers. Anyway, it's fun to go online, you can do whatever you want.

But if you really believe in this set and endorse these doctrines or ideas from the heart, it is a bit puzzling.

Why?

The core doctrine of the cattle herding religion can also be said to be the missionary concept, and Chen Ba has also read it carefully, and he does not think that the so-called "cattle herding is also a kind of practice" is anything special.

In other words, he felt that this was pure, Kun Kun was not married at the beginning, and the ghost knew what water was in his head, so he actually made up such a nonsense thing.

The point is that someone really believes it?

Your family master has admitted that it is a set of doctrines that he has made up and fabricated, how can there be real followers of the cattle herding sect who don't believe that this is fake?

"It's not that I don't believe ......"

Yang Dong, who walked into the office with a cup of coffee, raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there a possibility, everyone knows that this is fake?" ”

"Believing in the cattle herding religion is just to find some spiritual comfort for yourself in this fast-paced and high-pressure era?"

Believers in the herding sect believe that getting close to nature will relax people's minds, and the act of herding cattle and cutting pigweed is a spiritual practice, which makes people infinitely close to the "pure" state of their newborns.

This is a set of rhetoric that every believer in the herding sect will say.

It's nothing to say it once or twice, but when these words are repeated hundreds of times or thousands of times, these people's thoughts of playing with memes will slowly fade away, and they will start to think about whether this is a real practice.

"Stop, stop!"

Chen Ba couldn't listen to it anymore, so he quickly stopped the discussion and said, "Aren't we talking about 10,000 scalper ornaments being sold out in seconds?" Why did you talk and talk about the rationality of the doctrine of herding cattle? ”

"I said, here's why!"

Huang Qing spread his hands and said, "The doctrine of the Cattle Herding Sect has been recognized by more and more people, which is also the reason why 10,000 copies of the perimeter are sold out in seconds. ”

It's not that complicated!

The Cowherd Cult originated from the game "Cold Window Reading Simulator", but now it has long since transcended this game, and the followers of the Cowherd Cult are no longer limited to gamers.

To put it bluntly, this group is still very large, so it is really not an incomprehensible thing that the limited edition of 10,000 copies of the old scalper ornaments is sold out in seconds.

"It's understandable."

"What I really can't understand is that the cattle herding activities organized by these cattle herding sect believers seem to be quite popular now?"

Yang Dong scratched his head and said: "I swiped a news before, it is said that a primary school in a certain place, in order to let the children cherish the happy life now, organized a rural visit experience tour. ”

And their teacher happened to be a loyal player of "Cold Window Reading Simulator", and arranged for them to herd cattle and cut pigweed...... After the news came out, it was well received by parents and teachers all over the world! ”

"Highly acclaimed?"

"Uh-huh, well-received!"

Yang Dong nodded to show that he was not wrong, and then said: "Then there was a trend on the Internet to take children to the countryside or return to their hometown to experience herding cattle, cutting pigweed, and working in the fields. ”

This is a good thing for the cattle herding sect!

Not only are they close to nature, they like to herd cattle and cut pigweed, but they also recommend Amway to others, so that others can learn from them.

This is not the point, the point is that there are really people who believe in the demagogy of these cattle herding sects, especially those parents and teachers, who really think that this is an excellent way to educate their children.

Chen Ba: "......"

Although he thought it was very abstract, he had to say that these Bullherd Sect believers did a good job this time, and this matter was not a bad thing.

It's not a bad thing to let those pampered children who live in the city run to experience the herding of cattle and cutting pigweed in the countryside.

Just be careful!

In this process, it is enough to realize that a happy life is not easy to come by, but don't listen to the words of those strange aunts, thinking that "herding cattle is a practice"......

O iniquity!

These cattle herding believers probably think that the game "Cold Window Reading Simulator" is cold, and it is difficult for them to recruit new comrades from the Internet, and they actually expand their business to reality!

The most outrageous thing is that the missionary targets they are targeting are actually elementary and middle school students?

What a damn one!

The more Chen Ba thought about it, the more angry he became, and even felt that this was the reason why the Cattle Herding Sect had been silent for many years and did not even bubble, or even be a demon.

I thought that after they were suppressed, they finally became peaceful.

Who knows, these guys are opening up a second battlefield and running to make waves in reality!

"Wait a minute......"

Chen Ba, who was about to give an order, the Tianba community comprehensively arrested the members of the Cattle Herding Sect and labeled the Cattle Sect as a "cult" black pot, suddenly thought of something.

So, he hurriedly asked Yang Dong: "The Cattle Herding Sect is so capable of doing things, what about the Gu Mu Sect, the Tianshu Holy Land, and the Meritorious Monks?" ”

I almost forgot.

As a game exchange community with mixed fish and dragons, demons and monsters are rampant, the Tianba community has more than one active player organization.

There are also many, many player groups with different ideas are also active in the Tianba community. From time to time, they would clash over missionary work, and then they would fight and cause a miasma in the forum.

The cattle herding sect that is half-cut into the ground is so capable of making trouble, so won't other player groups or organizations be so able to toss, right?

"Not really!"

Yang Dong shook his head and said, "I haven't heard about it for the time being, there is any news of other players organizing trouble, but it's ......"

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Chen Ba's tense nerves instantly relaxed, but he didn't relax for long, and when he heard the word "but", he became nervous again.

"But what?"

"But there's a rumor, I don't know if it's true or not, it's quite bluffing anyway!"

Yang Dong said with a smile: "It is said that in Jiangcheng, a real estate company has developed a new real estate, and the pre-sale stage is very hot, but the developer's capital chain is broken, and it is suspected that it ......is unfinished."

"Huh?"

Chen Ba was puzzled, what does this news have to do with the topic they were talking about? Whether it's real or fake, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Tianba Studio, right?

The real estate is just unfinished, and it is not a new ...... Belch!

As if thinking of something, Chen Ba looked at Yang Dong with a stiff expression, and asked word by word: "Do you want to tell me that a Gu Mua sent player bought a house in this real estate, right?" ”

"It seems to be ......"

Yang Dong coughed, and then explained: "Many players have posted in the community, but the truth is still uncertain. Another point is that there is actually a special reason why these Gumua players went to buy houses in this real estate. ”

"What is the reason?"

"That's the name of this real estate project, Tianba Mansion!"

Chen Ba: "......"

He used this project to cheat players out of money in the game, why is there still someone who uses this project to cheat money in reality?

Suffered!

Players won't think that this is the real estate he built, right?
