Build a game empire from scratch

Lin You stared at the title in astonishment.

"This is really our article?" He still couldn't believe it.

"Yeah! Really!"

"Okay, let me take a look." Lin You put down the porridge in his hand, picked up the tablet, and read this article with an outrageous title.

Xiaomeng hides her body obediently, so as not to interfere with Lin You's reading.

"Yesterday at 8 o'clock in the morning, Yunmeng Studio's latest game "League of Assassins" was released, which attracted the attention of players in the entire game circle.

This is naturally another virtual reality game, and it is an epoch-making masterpiece that fully complies with the preferences of players and has made many innovations at the same time.

But what we are going to talk about today is not this game, but the game console that was supposed to be on the homepage of all game media, but because of the release of this game, it was blocked from light - Mirage.

Just yesterday, the sales volume of the world's first virtual reality game console, Mirage, officially exceeded 10 million units!

What does this data mean?

When we discuss the leader in the game industry, we generally don’t discuss the companies that make PC games and home console games, because we default to VR masterpieces, and we have the strength to sit on the leader of the industry.

And there are three major VR game manufacturers: NetDragon, Flying Fox, and Deserted Island, so how many devices have they sold in total?

We have no way of knowing the detailed data, but according to the sales charts of each generation of equipment of these three companies after they go on the market, we can roughly know that the total sales of the equipment of the three companies is less than 23 million.

Considering the upgrading of products, a lot of old equipment is damaged or eliminated, and the total market stock can basically be confirmed to be around 20 million units.

And now, a mirage appeared.

This is a brand-new virtual reality gaming device, technically, it is undoubtedly ahead of VR gaming by an era - or more than one era.

And yesterday, the market stock of Mirage also exceeded 10 million units.

It has not exceeded the total equipment sales of the three major VR manufacturers, but these three should not be counted together.

In a substantial sense, Mirage has surpassed the market share of any of these three devices!

In other words!

Regardless of the technological advancement of the game console or the market share of the console, Yunmeng has substantially surpassed the three giants of NetDragon, Flying Fox, and Desert Island!

So everyone! Let us salute the birth of the new king!

We have guessed countless times about the outcome of the war between the three giants NetDragon, Flying Fox, and Desert Island. We are curious about which company can leave the other two far behind and become the final winner.

But the only thing we didn't expect was that these three giants would be left behind by the tide of the times on the same day!

Starting today, the era of the three giants in the domestic game industry officially ending!

From then on, there is only one leader!

That is - Yunmeng!

At the very end, don’t forget: how long did it take Lin You, the founder of Yunmeng, to create this miracle from scratch?

Just less than two months!

After I finish speaking, everyone, you can start clapping and cheering! "

*

The article is not long, and Lin You finished it in a short while.

But after reading it, he was a little overwhelmed. Although yesterday's sales exceeded 10 million, I was a little bloated, but...

It's not that exaggerated!

What "the end of the era of the three giants", "the only new king"... This is also——

It's so embarrassing!

If you are so arrogant, you still have to let others say it!

Take a look at this professional pen!

"No, I have to give him a reward! This can't be for nothing." Lin You clicked on the "Reward author" option, and was about to send money to the author who wrote the article.

After inputting all 500 yuan, he didn't react until he was sure, and stopped immediately.

The tuba publicly rewarded articles that boasted about herself—although what was written was true, it was somewhat shameless.

"Xiaomeng, help me, use the trumpet to help me reward this article!"

"No problem! I'll leave it to Xiaomeng!" Xiaomeng jumped out from the screen of the tablet again.

She took out a cute frog-shaped wallet, took out a gold coin from it, flicked it neatly, and with a "snap", it just landed on the "reward author" button.

Immediately, Xiaomeng's trumpet appeared in the front row of the reward record.

As expected, this article caused an uproar, and countless players exclaimed incredible!

They were amazed that Lin You could create such an astonishing miracle in such a short period of time!

Even the comments alone couldn't satisfy their excitement, and even the number of rewards for this article was ridiculously high.

Even Lin You was still in the reward record, and saw a name that should never appear——

Flying Fox game.

When Lin You noticed the name, he thought it was a duplicate name, or a fake account.

But when he clicked on the homepage of this account, he was surprised to find that this is actually the official account of Flying Fox Games, one of the three major VR manufacturers in the domestic game industry!

what's the situation? The official account comes out and rewards an article that belittles oneself and flatters the opponent?

"I don't understand." Lin You shook his head.

"Xiaomeng, is there anything else interesting?"

"Yes!" Xiaomeng replied immediately, because Xiaomeng surfed the Internet intensively, and there were so many interesting things about her.

Lin You sometimes feels tired from learning things, and Xiao Meng will share various jokes and gossip with him, and then the two of them can't stop laughing together.

But of course Xiaomeng wouldn't tell Lin You jokes now, she showed Lin You a few titles again——

""The ultimate niche game circle", "the real luxury of the game circle" - the mirage outside the big summer"

"What has been updated on Mirage? Explore the previous updates of Mirage since it was launched, and analyze the future direction"

"League of Assassins must-see for beginners! Before entering the game, 10 key points you must know!"

"A summary of the types, rewards, and strategies of the "League of Assassins" playground mini-games!"

...

"Stop, stop!" Lin You called Xiaomeng quickly, "I'm curious about everyone!"

"Master, hurry up and have breakfast! Can Xiaomeng read it to you?"

"Okay, Xiaomeng is the best." Lin You picked up the bowl again and started to finish his breakfast.

And Xiao Meng began to read to Lin You the content he was interested in.

“Each game platform has its corresponding player circle, PC player circle, console player circle, VR player circle, even handheld circle, arcade machine circle, this is the same all over the world.

However, in the past two months, a brand new platform circle has appeared in Daxia - the mirage player circle.

It's just that the number of people in this circle has skyrocketed so fast that it skipped the description of "circle" and became one of the most mainstream game forms.

In foreign countries, the players of the Mirage game platform are still an extremely small circle.

It can even be said that this is a "ghost circle".

There is only one reason - foreign players can really use Mirage, and players who play virtual reality games are really too rare!

As we all know, every time Mirage is put on the shelves in China, it will be sold out in just a few minutes, and the resale price in the market has been raised to between 5 times and 15 times - the specific multiple depends on how many people you meet. Greed, and is not a liar.

In this case, the number of devices that can be spread abroad can only be said to be very small, and the number of hosts in an entire country may even be counted by fingers.

Moreover, Yunmeng has not been established for a short time, and the domestic market is far from being satisfied, and it has not yet freed up its hands to deploy overseas.

Even if a few mirages are transferred abroad, without the support of Yunmeng's server, if an individual wants to connect to Yunmeng's server and play games, he must learn related network technology.

It is conceivable that if a foreign player wants to play virtual reality games, it will be a proper hell mode.

These kinds of restrictions made the mirage host player circle the smallest, but also the most high-end player circle.

However, even in such a hell mode, there are still players who overcome many difficulties and step into the virtual world!

In the previous "Journeyman", because of the special non-communication mechanism, we don't know whether anyone has been matched with overseas players.

But after the "League of Assassins" server opened yesterday, nearly a hundred players can attest that they met players from overseas in the playground.

The reporter of this newspaper also interviewed these players for the first time, and through their mouths, learned about the strong desire and expectation of overseas players for virtual games.

All the overseas players interviewed, without exception, eagerly hope that Yunmeng will sell Mirage consoles to their countries as soon as possible, so that their friends can also have the opportunity to buy consoles and experience this unimaginable game together.

What I have to mention is that during random interviews with players through the random matching mode of the game, our reporter also met a very special overseas 'player'.

And this player is very likely to be the most special one among all overseas players!

The following is the record of our real interview with this overseas player—"

"Wait, what's going on?" Lin You asked in confusion, "Didn't only one foreigner log into the game yesterday? Why did they say there are many overseas players?"

"Master, you are wrong~" Xiaomeng shook her head, "Last night, many overseas players logged into the game! But the master has been concentrating on research, so Xiaomeng didn't bother the master."

"Is it because of jet lag?" Lin You guessed, "America's players?"

"The master guessed wrong again. America, Britain, the Federation of Pakistan, and Ilaya are far away. There are also Izumo and Baekje, the vassal states of Daxia, and several countries in South Asia. Less."

Speaking of this, Xiaomeng smiled proudly, "Because the networks used in East Asia and South Asia were established with the help of Daxia, and the basic-level protocols are exactly the same as Daxia! So Xiaomeng can directly skip over and put Their information comes in! The delay is very low!"

"Ah... this." Lin You didn't know what expression to make.

Xiaomeng continued to read with great interest.
