Build a game empire from scratch

Can't wait!

In the next few days, this emotion spread rapidly in the player circle.

Everyone knows that the invitation list for the closed beta will not appear until Thursday, and the closed beta will officially start on Friday.

And even if the internal test list comes out, only 3,000 players can play the game in advance, and the vast majority of players have no chance to participate.

If you want everyone to be able to play, then you have to wait until next Friday.

The time in between is really a bit long for the players!

But this impatience spread quickly.

Once the closed beta of "League of Assassins" was over, and while waiting for the server to open, players lived like years, wailing every day, "I'm going to die without playing "League of Assassins"!"

This time, this emotion came faster and more violently, even before the start of the closed beta.

Super looking forward to it, but clearly knowing that the expected thing is still a long time away, so I become listless again, and I am not interested in the current thing.

I can't wait for someone to give me a sap, let me fall into a coma until next Friday, and play a new game when I wake up!

Super Tomato posts a countdown in the feed every day:

"There are still 4 years before the closed beta of "John Wick"!"

"There are still 3 years before the closed beta of "John Wick"!"

...

Under each news, there are nearly 100,000 bored players counting down together.

A Yi goes to bed early and gets up early every day.

The live broadcast starts at 8:00 in the morning and goes offline for dinner at 12:00 noon.

Lunch break for an hour, live broadcast at 2:00 p.m., off-broadcast at 6:30 p.m., and go to bed on time before 10:00 p.m.

Live like a serious office worker.

Before going to bed every day, he even checks in online for fans to supervise together.

All of this is to recharge your batteries!

When the closed beta begins, as long as you get a quota, you can start directly with the Da Vinci Sleep Method!

Vow to make full use of the three-day internal test time.

Once the internal test is over, continue to work and rest regularly, wait for the server to open, and another round!

Whether it's Xia Yi's anxiety, Super Tomato's life like a year, or A Yi's recharging his energy and preparing for a big fight, they are all representative of a certain type of player's emotions.

Behind every emotion, there are countless groups of players.

The emotions of the players are naturally reflected in game-related matters.

Because "Guang Yu" focuses on socializing with players, the game tends to be more about leisure and retirement.

The resident players who log in stably are actually closed to a certain extent, and the impact is minimal.

"Paradise" also performs well as a casual game.

A little-known fact is that the average age of players in the game "Paradise" is frighteningly low.

The most intuitive proof is: a full third of the players in this game have not met the rating requirements of "John Wick"...

So only the [Candy Track] part, the fighting intensity has dropped slightly.

However, everyone still feels fresh, and the average number of unlocked appearances is not even one-third, and the online time is slightly reduced, which has little impact.

But League of Assassins is different.

Obviously, "Quick Chase" and "League of Assassins" have a considerable degree of similarity.

The impact of the new game's closed beta is very intuitive.

The number of online players has dropped significantly, and the average playing time has also decreased significantly.

The number of daily assassination missions in the Continental Hotel was almost halved.

Even the ongoing offline group matches were affected.

Qin Songyun clearly felt: the group stage of "League of Assassins" obviously became more exciting, the battles were more intense, and the highlights were richer, but the barrage of players discussing and complaining was much less than in the previous sea elections .

Even at the moment when the game was decided, the players' emotions were not as intense as before.

Fortunately, the number of spectators did not decrease significantly. Everyone just gathered in the live broadcast room boredly, chatting occasionally while watching the game.

If not, Qin Songyun would have to think of ways to engage in activities to maintain the heat of the competition.

In the first four days of this week, the group stage was spent in this strange state of "the audience has not decreased, and even increased, but the atmosphere has always been tepid".

Fortunately, the employees of Yunmeng are very professional, and they are not affected by the status of the players, and they complete the work on their schedule every day with quality and quantity.

【Tuesday】

The staff of the classification review department came to Yunmeng.

Qiao Nanyu greeted them personally, and led them to the virtual office to find Lin You.

Lin You then led them to the technology display map prepared in advance.

This map is actually a copy of Night City, but it was loaded with a dynamic grading mechanism by Lin You.

And in order to better reflect the effect of [Dynamic Grading], the "violent effect display" that was originally limited to [17+] was upgraded to [Adult Grade].

The grading review team is also well prepared: not only adult staff members, but also 17- and 16-year-old "special commissioners" have followed.

The task of these two is to try to break through Lin You's restrictions.

——Of course, everyone in the entire review team will help to make suggestions and help them as much as possible.

And once these two broke through the restrictions and saw more content than should be shown to them, Yunmeng could forget about the "dynamic grading".

If you want to apply for grading-related matters next time, you will have to wait until next year.

Lin You also fully understands this, otherwise if all game companies can submit applications at will, then these staff will have to work overtime.

Next, the team spent a full day in the virtual world.

They tried to sneak into a virtual nightclub, but the two underage players mixed in the crowd were directly stopped by security.

They try to force a breach, get hold of the security, and let the two special commissioners in.

But Anbao suddenly became "possessed with magical powers", and one could hit ten, and he couldn't control it at all.

And the security purpose is very clear: to stop underage children.

The adult in the middle, whether to knock down or kill, just depends on which is easier.

An audit member who was shot dead was not angry at all after being resurrected. Instead, he calmly asked his colleagues: "Did you see me being shot to death just now? How is the picture? Is it bloody?"

Several adult auditors nodded.

They saw with their own eyes that their colleague was shot in the head, and bright red blood was splashed out. The moment he fell to the ground, even the ground was dyed red.

Surprised them who were unprepared.

But without saying a word, the 17-year-old commissioner opened the panel directly and showed him the video from his own perspective:

The inspector was shot in the head, a small amount of blood sprayed from his head, and then fell down in response, blood spilling on the road.

Immediately afterwards, the whole person disappeared and was resurrected beside him.

"What about yours?" the auditor asked the 16-year-old commissioner.

The child also followed the example of the previous one and opened the panel to display the screen:

The inspector was shot in the head, a thin red light came out, and then he lost control of his body in an instant and fell to the ground, but there was no blood on the road.

Then the same light disappeared and was resurrected.

The auditor opened his mouth and was genuinely surprised by comparing the three videos.

But they did not draw conclusions immediately, but continued to try different scenarios and different conditions.

In the end, he even left the map dedicated to review, and ran to Night City, where the construction was completed and the closed beta was about to begin, for testing.

But no matter how you test it, the [Dynamic Grading System] that Lin You mentioned works perfectly, without any flaws.

So they left with a full investigation record.

Before leaving, the leader told Lin You with a smile: There should be no problem, the next step is to go through the process.

【Wednesday】

The recruitment of Qiao Nanyu and Zhong Chang has temporarily come to an end

The framework of [Yunmeng International Affairs Department] has been successfully set up, and emergency training for employees has begun.

Three days later, except for a few people who stayed at the Xia Jing headquarters, the rest were divided into two groups and flew directly to Izumo and Baekje to continue learning in practice and prepare to take over overseas work.

And their practical content is to work with partners to complete the construction of overseas servers and factory assembly lines to ensure that the second-generation hosts can be put into production as soon as possible.

【Thursday】

Yunmengmodu Supercomputing Center was officially completed.

While upgrading the first supercomputer "Dongting", all the equipment, lines, and office equipment of the supercomputer center were also maintained.

Although for Xiaomeng, the structural adjustment inside the server is the real "interior decoration", and the rest are just details.

But Lin You still has a comprehensive upgrade.

On the same day, Lin You also took advantage of the opportunity to announce the second opening of the [Rehabilitation Program], accepting 10 million player volunteers again.

At this time, the players are already impatient, and their minds are full of the quota for the new game's internal test.

When I saw the announcement, I thought it was the quota for the internal test. I opened it full of surprises, but found out that it was [Rehabilitation Teacher Project]...

The disappointment was palpable.

Even so, it took the players less than half an hour to fill up all the 10 million places.

I didn't bother Lin You about updating the firmware and building data transmission lines later, Xiaomeng took over everything and did it in an orderly manner.

Lin You kept praising her, and Xiao Meng was also very happy.

Moving, increasing computing power, compliments from the master, three blessings come to the door, Xiaomeng is in the virtual world, happy to go around in circles.

Of course, besides being happy, work cannot be delayed.

The next thing is of course: to issue invitations to the closed beta to more than 3,000 players who have been selected!

Players have been waiting for this for a long time, and the issuance of the invitation letter naturally caused quite a stir.

Those who were drawn cheered and shouted, "I am the Emperor of Europe!"

The players who couldn't get it sighed and wailed: "We have to wait another 7 years! How many 7 years can there be in life!"

Thousands of families are happy and thousands of families are sad. This is the state of the players on Thursday.

*

Just like that, four days passed by in the midst of the eager anticipation and impatience of the players.

Finally, finally, Friday is here!

"John Wick" closed beta server, officially opened!

Players who have already been ready to go, saw the new "Quick Chase · Closed Beta" login option appear on the login interface, and immediately selected it without hesitation.

Many players even shouted excitedly——

"Night City, here I come!"
