Chapter 121: Major Upgrade
Originally, the Xiuzhen realm was a world where messaging was not very convenient, but since there was a communication tool like a mobile phone, everyone didn't have to leave the house, and they could know all the big and small things that were happening outside, which was not only convenient, but also very practical. In addition to being able to help with messaging, there are many ways to make money in the mobile phone, and Shi Ruixin is relying on the peripheral business of the mobile phone to make a fortune during the Qi refining period.
Because of the remoteness of the place, when Shi Ruixin officially came into contact with mobile phones, it was already two months after the mobile phone was launched, and he had missed the best time to open a store in Taotao Mall. Although he still opened his own small store on Taotao Mall, he could only let him wander on the food and clothing line, after all, there was no large amount of money to do publicity and advertising, and it was difficult to break through in so many stores.
After that, in addition to taking time to take care of his shop, Shi Ruixin spent most of his time in the task hall, and there were more opportunities for earning spirit stones in this place. In the past, he relied on collecting some spirit grass and selling it in exchange for the spirit stones needed for daily cultivation, and selling it to those shops that bought spirit grass would definitely be depressed. However, in the mission hall, there are many people who give very fair purchase prices, earn more than before, and avoid wasting time on the way back to the city, which greatly increases efficiency.
Some time ago, Shi Ruixin also played the online game "Tribal Wars", because it didn't cost money, which was just right for him to use as a game to kill time, but he didn't expect that there would be an opportunity to make money. At that time, there was a local tyrant player, because his tribe was attacked, and in a moment of anger, he issued a rewarding task in the mission hall, gathering a hundred people to help take revenge, and each of them gave a high-grade spirit stone as a reward.
Because he is looking for someone to take revenge, if he doesn't have a certain strength, of course he can't be selected, it just so happens that Shi Ruixin usually farms and saves soldiers, and he doesn't attack people, so his strength is still good. At that time, he happened to grab the task, and after helping the local tyrant player take revenge, he successfully got a high-grade spirit stone, which was a reward that he couldn't earn for more than ten years, enough for him to use for decades.
Although he made a lot of money, Shi Ruixin did not plan to stop like this, but instead used the high-grade spirit stone as a start-up capital, and then united with some friends in the Qi refining period to form the first game studio in the Xiuzhen world.
At that time, the most popular game was "Clan Wars", and this was still an online game, which attached great importance to the communication between players, and the various tribes could trade with each other in addition to war, which was also a means of long-distance friendship and close attack.
Shi Ruixin gathered four friends to form a game studio, with the high-grade spirit stones he earned as the initial capital, each of them fully configured three mobile phones, and then farmed and developed in different servers, in addition to accumulating resources to upgrade buildings, the rest were sold out in exchange for mobile phone bills.
Now in the mission hall, there are a lot of orders for the acquisition of game resources, all of which are local tyrant players who only care about training and beating people and ignore infrastructure construction, these are Shi Ruixin's big customers. In order to better earn spirit stones, there is a division of labor in the studio, some people are responsible for contacting customers, some people are responsible for advertising, and some people are responsible for calculating the resource price of each server. Although it didn't take long to open, it was still a studio that began to bear fruit, and it paid back in just one month, and after that, business gradually increased.
When "Incredible Game" appeared a few days ago, Shi Ruixin also studied it, but he found that this game took a lot of time, and when playing the game, the dialogue content and options needed to be carefully reviewed, which was very laborious, so his studio did not invest in it. Shi Ruixin had a faint feeling that since the mysterious organization behind the mobile phone had given away four superb treasures as a reward with such a large amount of money, then they would definitely not forget it like this, and there must be other activities after that.
Early this morning, all mobile phone users in the Xiuzhen Realm received an urgent notice that the mobile phone system needs to be upgraded and the Internet service will be suspended for a day, but the call and SMS functions can still be used normally. This is the most important update action since the advent of mobile phones, although there have been a lot of updates before, but it is only a matter of a few minutes, like this time to suspend the Internet for a day, that is the first time to see, everyone vaguely guesses that this is a major action.
Sure enough, Shi Ruixin didn't know what would happen after the phone was updated, but he was sure that this was another good opportunity to earn spirit stones, and he immediately ordered everyone to take a good rest. Tomorrow morning, no matter what kind of changes there are in the phone, when the update is completed, you must seize the opportunity.
When there was no mobile phone before, everyone didn't have this feeling, but suddenly there was no network, and everyone had a very uncomfortable feeling, as if the whole person was missing something important, whether standing or sitting, they would always feel uncomfortable. This is a precursor to mobile phone dependence, which will continue to worsen over time, and even if someone forces them to give up their phone, they may not accept it.
Many businesses originally thought that the mobile phone was suspended for a day, and many people would go out to pass the time, and their business might improve to a certain extent, but they were doomed to be disappointed, and most people would rather stay at home and play stand-alone games than go out, which is really sad for those businesses. Since the advent of mobile phones, the business of physical stores is not as good as day by day, and many peers have begun to slowly establish their own online stores, only those physical stores that are big enough to support because of the brand effect.
To get back to the truth, Shi Ruixin's studio took his mobile phone early and began to wait for the system to be updated after a day of rest. When the first rays of sunlight in the sky began to set foot on the coastal areas of the Senru Continent, the network was reconnected, and everyone's phones were prompted to update. Everyone didn't hesitate, they directly clicked to agree, and let the phone start updating as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Xiaomi's signal device is very strong, even if tens of millions of people download the update program at the same time, there will be no congestion, which is much stronger than the network on the planet.
After a few minutes, Shi Ruixin found that his phone had been updated, and at the same time, an information box popped up in the center of the screen, which was an update prompt, and every time there was any updated content, it would be displayed here. Shi Ruixin found that there was a lot of content in this update.
The first point mentioned in the content is that a new mobile phone user level has been launched, from level 1 to level 9, and the higher the level, the more discounts users will get.
It's like after becoming a first-level user, most of the consumption on the Internet can enjoy a 95% discount, buy programs in the app store, or watch paid videos, all within the range. However, buying props or gold coins in online games, and buying things in Taotao Mall are not within the scope of the discount.
Two-level users can enjoy a nine-percent discount, three-level users can enjoy an eight-fifty-fifty discount, and so on, nine-level users can enjoy a five-fifty discount. Consumption discounts are only the initial privileges, and more privileges will appear in the future, so that mobile phone users can get more benefits.
It costs a lot of experience to increase the user's level, and the earning of experience points, in addition to consuming mobile phone bills, can also be obtained after completing the mission hall commission, and the corresponding experience of the mission level. Both the rich and the poor are taken care of.
Of course, there will be many ways to get experience points in the future, such as the second update prompt, the phone will open a website called Mimi Search, and you can enter what you want to search for on it. It also includes an app called Mimi Encyclopedia, which is an online encyclopedia platform with open and free content.
When you have any questions or information you want to query, you can enter a search here, and the relevant answers will appear. If you don't have a clear answer to your question, the question will appear in the bounty. When someone answers, you have to choose the one you are most satisfied with, and the person who answers the question will get a certain amount of experience points, and you will deduct the same amount of experience points to pay the other person.
In addition to the advantages of the inheritance of the exercises, the biggest advantage of each sect is that the elders answer the questions about cultivation, so that you don't have to take a lot of crooked paths, which is also the crux of most loose cultivation is not as good as the disciples of the sect. But with Mimi Search, Casual Cultivators will be able to ask questions they encounter in their cultivation on it, and then others will be able to earn experience points by answering other people's questions.
Shi Ruixin just glanced at it, and saw the stakes, this is secretly challenging the authority of the various sects, and he doesn't know how the mysterious organization behind the mobile phone has the confidence to be able to compete with those big forces.
Immortals fight, mortals watch plays. Although Shi Ruixin is not a mortal, it is none of his business to fight in the shadows of those big forces, and his attention is quickly attracted by the content behind, which is the opportunity he has been longing for for a long time.
According to the third update, within the next six months, several competitive games will be launched in the app store, which will be available for everyone to download for free. The competitive game is very different from the previous games, it is a battle game based on a fair, fair and reasonable game platform, and each game is very short, but it is very playable.
The reason why Shi Ruixin feels that this is his opportunity is because competitive games will hold a competitive game competition in half a year, and if he can enter the top eight, he will be able to get rich rewards. Even the top 16 players who are a little bit close can get a consolation prize, and each person has ten high-grade spirit stones, which is equivalent to 100,000 low-grade spirit stones, which is already a huge wealth for low-level casual cultivation.
There are no restrictions on the level of cultivation and age of the contestants, as long as you are confident in your gaming skills, you can participate. However, due to the different number of players in various competitive games, some games only accept team registration, and some games are solo battles, which also depends on the settings of the relevant games.
Shi Ruixin's heart beat uncontrollably, this is a good opportunity. Whether the game is played well or not, it has nothing to do with your cultivation, and it has nothing to do with your spiritual root, as long as you have talent and are willing to work hard, you will have a chance to come out, this is the opportunity for the silk to counterattack the rich and handsome!
Shi Ruixin immediately opened the app store, and really saw two new games, and there was a special indication of the exclusive games of the competitive game competition, which means that these two games will definitely appear on the competitive game competition.
There was no need to say anything at all, the people in the entire game studio were like gnawing on medicine, and they were crazy with excitement, and Shi Ruixin found that there was no need to encourage them, everyone had become hungry beasts!
