Build a game empire from scratch

When Qiye found himself wearing an old and very unfamiliar military uniform, appearing in a world of ice and snow, the Internet was also in an uproar.

When Xia Yi paid attention to the news about "A Quiet Place" on Saturday, the discussion between the media and players was still focused on the first chapter [A Quiet Place].

This is normal. After all, Yunmeng only released this chapter of the expansion pack at the beginning, and most of them only played this one story on the first day.

Even the focus of the players' attention was entirely on the "turn back into a child" technology that Yunmeng suddenly pulled out, and everyone enthusiastically posted photos of themselves transformed back into children on social networks.

To be honest, there's no way these photos look exactly like they did when they were kids.

After all, "growing up" is full of uncertainty.

Many people take out photos of themselves when they were young, and compared with their current faces, they can't tell a dime about it. Unless you are a very familiar person, you can find some traces of similarity.

But all of Yunmeng's "juvenileization" is based on retaining some of the current appearance characteristics, and changing in the direction of "youthful", "cute" and "beautiful".

So the result is more like themselves than the photos of themselves when they were children!

Many users who do not play horror games also went to the comment area of ​​Lin You and the official accounts of "A Quiet Place" to leave messages, hoping that Yunmeng can launch a [Rejuvenation Potion] - or other props with the same effect, so that everyone can play in the public world You can also play this magical transformation.

Unfortunately, Yunmeng never responded.

By Saturday afternoon, when players entered the new chapter on a large scale, questions began to pop up one after another——

"Why is this game called "A Quiet Place"? That's just the first story, right?"

"What should it be called? "Alien Invasion"? Or "Doomsday" or "Survival of the Doomsday"?"

"Let's not talk about anything else. Why are there no trailers for the following chapters?"

"On the contrary, I am a little curious. If every subsequent chapter is of this size, is the game sold too cheap? Are you sure you don't have to pay to unlock it later?"

“It can’t be that Yunmeng’s production capacity is too high, so it can’t just stuff several games together and sell them, right?”

"Our team participated in the [Cradle Project] and we were very confident at first. Now that we have played "A Quiet Place", we suddenly feel less confident... Yunmeng also has too much imagination and creativity!"

…

Amid the heated discussion among the players, Yunmeng also reacted——

The official account of "A Quiet Place" released a new update:

[Over 50 million players have completed the first chapter of "A Quiet Place"! All players who clear the level will receive a commemorative figure——[Angel of Death]]

[New promotional video unlocked——[Don’t look at it]! ]

But seeing Yunmeng's reaction, the players were a little stunned:

This is the first time they have seen that the promotional video can be unlocked as a reward after the game is released!

That commemorative figure is also a bit outrageous.

"Why isn't the reward a rejuvenation potion?"

“Does anyone really want such an ugly monster figure??”

"I'm not interested anyway, but if 50 million people clear the second chapter and can unlock the invisible monster figure, then I will be a little interested."

"You don't want me to want it! Will there be a full set of seven models? Will it be a physical product? The virtual ones are not enough!"

…

As for the trailer, everyone is just having fun watching it.

After all, the players in the first echelon are now excited about Chapter 4. The plot of Chapter 2 is no longer a secret, and various videos are flying all over the sky.

——Even if you record a video with your eyes open, there is more than 90% chance of death on the spot, but it cannot stop the players' enthusiasm for death.

*

The third trailer will be unlocked on Sunday at 8am.

At the same time, all players who cleared the second chapter also received a second commemorative prize.

But it’s not the monster figure that everyone guessed, but——

A pair of blindfolds.

That's right, it's the eyepatch that players put on their eyes in the second chapter of the game to prevent them from accidentally looking at monsters.

But at the same time, this is not an ordinary pair of eye masks, but a super upgraded version!

This is an eye patch that can be used across the world, customized with colors and patterns, and can be worn on the eyes without affecting vision!

In other words, this eye patch cannot be used in the second chapter of "A Quiet Place", because if you see the monster through the eye patch, you will still be attacked and commit suicide.

This is a pure decoration, you can wear it to pretend to be blind, or play cosplay or something.

But what’s interesting is:

The popularity of this thing among players is much higher than that of monster figures!

*

At 9 p.m., the fourth trailer and third souvenir reward unlock.

The souvenir reward this time is——

A bottle of eye drops in the shape of a [Weeping Angel].

The players who got the rewards all shouted outrageously.

You might say this thing is completely useless, but that's not the case.

In "Don't Blink", I kept staring at the Weeping Angel to tell her not to move. When my eyes were so sore and I was crying like crazy, it would really be much more comfortable if I had a bottle of eye drops.

But the problem is: those who can get eye drops now are all people who have passed the level!

Isn't this taking off your pants to fart?

How can this be a reward? It’s just trying to mess with people’s mentality, right? !

The members of the development team were also helpless. Originally, the reward they wanted to give out was a [Weeping Angel Figure], but the boss wanted to give out eye drops. What could they do?

The most I can do is make the eye drop bottle into a transparent weeping angel shape, which will look better at least...

However, they were unwilling to give in to the souvenir reward of Chapter 4 - [Girl Holding Alien Plant Garland] Figure.

It was almost at the risk of death that he persuaded Lin You to go back to his unreasonable idea.

——Lin You wanted to change the shape of this figure to a dying girl covered in poisonous flowers and sealed in a glass box.

Everyone admits that the figures designed by Lin You are very beautiful and artistic.

But no one agreed to send this to the players.

They are truly refusing to obey.

Even Lin You’s suggestion of “giving two at a time” didn’t agree.

In the end, they even begged the little princess and successfully lured the boss away...

When Yunmeng distributed [Weeping Angel Eye Drops] to players, Qiye's [Secret War] progress had just reached a critical point——

Sneak into the monster lair.

In order to get to this point, he went through unimaginable brutal battles.

The plot of [Secret War] was completely different from what he imagined.

The previous chapters were almost all about being helpless against monsters, and could only do their best to escape, deal with them, and look for a chance to survive.

It rarely scares you suddenly, but gives you enough time to slowly brew the scary atmosphere in silence.

To a certain extent, it can be classified as "psychological horror".

But [Secret Wars] is different.

This thing is the purest and most powerful "sensory horror"!

As soon as Qiye was shaken awake by his teammates, he walked into the icy and snowy outdoors and immediately saw a village washed with blood!

In the snow-covered village, there are large tracts of red everywhere - the bloody corpses of the villagers.

When you walk into a wooden house made of logs, you can even see corpses with their chests cut open and their internal organs eaten out.

The entire village, all the villagers, were killed and eaten by unknown creatures.

The level of bloodiness is straight to the max!

The weirdness, tranquility and restraint of the previous chapters were all thrown away at this moment, leaving only the most primitive and brutal killing in front of us!

NPC teammates were intimidated.

They looked at the mountains and primeval forests under the white snow and speculated that a brown bear accidentally woke up from hibernation or a few hungry tigers were responsible for this inhumane killing.

But the captain shook his head and denied this speculation.

Qiye knew clearly:

It's monsters that have invaded the village!

And it's probably an alien monster!

When he thought of this, he subconsciously looked down at the weapon he was carrying——

A Mosin-Nagant rifle, a Bobosha submachine gun, and a small pistol that can tickle monsters.

Just use these to fight alien monsters?

Qiye looked at his 11 teammates again and found that they all had similar configurations.

At that moment, he strongly suspected that they were not there to fight monsters, but to deliver food...
