Build a game empire from scratch

Izumo, Kyoto.

When Kyoto was being built, its name was Heian-kyo.

At that time, it was the climax of sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty, so the layout of the city was largely based on Chang'an and Luoyang.

Now that hundreds of years have passed, the capital has been transferred, but Heian-kyo has retained the name of Kyoto and its extremely rich cultural heritage.

Coupled with the influence of the suzerain country for the past hundred years, many places even have the illusion of being in Daxia at a glance.

In an old private house in Xiajing District, Chizuru Nishino typed the last line: "Trash! Go seppuku!"

Then he threw down the Daxia smartphone he bought last year in displeasure, and fell backwards on the tatami.

——Although with the support of Daxia, the suzerain country, the neighboring countries are also developing their own smart industries, but consumers in any country are not easy to deceive.

Compared with that little price advantage, consumers would rather spend more and buy better products.

This is the case for Qianhe, who buys all the things that can be used locally, but when it comes to important electronic products, they are basically all Daxia products.

Looking at the [Mirage] first-generation host on the desk, she sighed helplessly.

She asked her college roommate when she was studying abroad to help buy this, and her wallet bleeds a lot because of this.

But after getting it, she realized that the delay made her very uncomfortable.

She tried to go in and play against the delay, and it was okay for a short time, but after a long time, the sense of dislocation with "out of sync with the whole world" made her very uncomfortable.

And the faster the movement, the stronger the sense of dislocation.

Even when going offline, I feel a little dizzy.

This led to her having to put the console down after only playing for a short while, turning it into an expensive decoration on the table.

It's just that when she saw the news about "John Wick" today, while scolding domestic game companies for their incompetence, she became eager to move again.

she! Chizuru Nishino! I also want to take a bubble bath with a beautiful girl! !

Back then, when she was in high school, taking baths and playing with beautiful girls was just a daily routine.

But now that she has returned from studying abroad, time has passed, and she has become a housekeeper, and the close relationship in the past seems to be gone forever.

she! Chizuru Nishino! I miss it so much! !

Furious, she sat up straight, put on the headband, and started!

After logging into the empty virtual house, she calmed down after looking at the several login options in front of her.

——She is not a beta player, so she wants to go to Night City at this time?

I want to fart!

"Hey!" Nishino Chizuru's cute baby face showed an expression of indisputable anger, "A bunch of iron waste!"

Sighing, Nishino Chizuru felt even more helpless when he looked at the empty house that couldn't be decorated due to the high delay: "If it wasn't for this delay..."

But before she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

She got up and walked up and down the room, even breaking into a quick run.

After a while, she stopped with surprise on her face.

The ultra-high latency that bothered her before seemed to be significantly reduced!

Excited, she quickly logs into a few different games to check how the experience is playing in the current situation.

"Journeyman", "League of Assassins", "Light Yu", "Paradise"...

Chizuru Nishino tried out one game after another.

She quickly discovered that the lag was still there, and would have different effects depending on how the game was played.

"Wind Journey" is similar to "Light Yu", and it has almost no effect when walking normally.

But the speed of space changes is relatively fast, especially when flying fast, it is almost impossible to play at all.

She played "League of Assassins" before, and now she plays again, and finds that her daily play has not been affected at all.

There is only one thing - [Assassin's Bloodline] must not be activated.

Otherwise, once the effect of sensory acceleration and time slowing appears, you will feel severe discomfort in an instant.

In the end, the best and most suitable game was actually—"Paradise"!

Of course, there are also restrictions. You can’t go to rides that are too exciting or too fast. When playing [Candy Track], you can’t enter the accelerator gate.

Anyway, try to keep yourself in a state of uniform motion that is not too fast, and the impact of delay will be very small, at least it will not affect the game.

This has already made Chizuru Nishino very happy!

But before she can play, she has to do one more thing: post on the forum!

In the current Izumo, mirage hosts are not as hard to find as they were at first.

With the increasing production of Yunmeng, many people who have friends or relatives in Daxia, as long as they ask them for help, it is no longer so difficult to buy a Mirage.

At most, this friend or relative also wants to buy a host, and the quota has been used up, so I can only find another person who does not need to buy a host, and ask someone to help buy it for some money.

This has led to the formation of virtual reality game player circles in Izumo and Baekje.

Although the circle is still relatively small, it is already very impressive compared to the first month.

But even in such a small circle, very few people use consoles to play games, because latency is an unsolvable problem.

But now, for Izumo players, things are finally looking up!

"Lag problem solved (a large part)! Go log in!"

After Nishino Chizuru posted the post, regardless of other people's opinions, she began to "decorate" her virtual house on her own.

Her idea is very simple -

There are dogs in "Guang Yu", so the virtual house with the theme of "Guang Yu" has dogs inside.

So, there are beautiful girls in "John Wick", so in the virtual house of "John Wick", will there be beautiful girls who can warm the bed?

Well, it seems unlikely.

but--

What if!

How come you have to prepare a beautiful bedroom and a big bed in advance, right? !

Chizuru Nishino is full of motivation!

In the afternoon, the number of Izumo players suddenly increased, which naturally attracted Xiaomeng's attention.

So logically, Lin You also realized this matter.

But it was just a small surprise, and he temporarily put this matter behind him.

Now there are more urgent matters for him to make a decision: a game company from Annan approached him, looking for cooperation.

It wasn't an email, it wasn't a phone call, but the company boss and executives flew to Daxia in person and found the original office location of Yunmeng Studio.

It has now become a station of Yunmeng.

This thing is quite paradoxical.

Don't mention anything else, let's talk about the first one: Does Annan have any game company?

Well, there is still one.

NaviGame is almost a monopoly company in Annan.

This company in Annan may have stronger dominance than Yunmeng in Daxia.

But this is not because they are too strong, but because their opponents are too weak.

Lin You is not even sure whether they have opponents.

No way, his understanding of that piece of land is really too little!

But he is very clear about one thing: this company does not develop games by itself at all, it is all the games of other companies that it represents.

What he is struggling with now is: the founders of other companies have come. Although the company's strength is far inferior to Yunmeng's, he feels that it would be somewhat impolite if he didn't go to meet him.

But the problem is - today is the weekend!

Yunmeng is on holiday!

He had practiced boxing all morning, and his muscles were sore and exhausted. Now he just wanted to lie on the sofa in a daze.

Lin You thought and thought, and suddenly came up with a good idea: Why don't you arrange a two-day trip to Xiajing for them?

It happened that Yunmeng was at work on Monday, so let's talk about business again.

It's just that he was about to call Zhong Chang and ask him to arrange someone to go on a trip, but Zhong Chang called him one step ahead.

"Boss, Luzon Entertainment Co., Ltd. has also approached us and wants to discuss cooperation with us."

"Huh? Luzon? There are also game companies in their place?"

Through the phone, Lin You also heard Zhong Chang's helpless sigh: "Yes! Boss."

"Okay, I'm going to call you too. I'm going to send Annan's people to Xiajing for a tour. Since there are people from Luzon, let's make arrangements together and find a reliable tour guide. Expenses will be reimbursed by the company.”

"Ah? Why?"

"Because we are on holiday! We are against overtime work in principle, and don't encourage unhealthy tendencies."

"..." Zhong Chang fell silent, but he finally sighed and said, "Okay."

How can you meet such a boss?

As long as there is a little rationality, it must be resolutely maintained!

Lin You also put down his phone, lay down in the game cabin, and logged into the virtual world.

——Anyway, if you want to rest, why don't you come to the virtual world and find Xiaomeng together.

It's just that he just sat down on the small sofa when he heard a cell phone ring.

Xiao Meng took out his mobile phone from his pocket like magic, glanced at it and handed it to him, "It's still Zhong Chang!"

Lin You had an ominous premonition.

"Hey, what's the matter? Is there anyone who doesn't like to travel?"

"No, boss, a game company from another country is here."

Lin You frowned, "Is this a group? Which country?"

"Siam, Laos, Johor, Chenla."

Lin You's head hurt from hearing this.

Among these names, many of them should have been eliminated and replaced a long time ago. They should not have appeared in the same era at all, but now they all appeared in the 21st century and appeared in front of him.

This gave him a very strong sense of magic.

"So these people really came in a group?"

"Yes, the four companies this time did indeed come together."

"There are game companies in every country?" Lin You confirmed again.

"Both."

"Then we can't cooperate with each other!" Lin You said speechlessly, "How many players do they have in the whole country?"

In Lin You's concept, the Internet development in these countries is not well developed, and the infrastructure was built only with the support of Da Xia, so there must be very few players.

So, why not organize a tour group for them?

Unexpectedly, Zhong Chang answered him without thinking: "A lot!"

"There are several countries here. Although they have no game development capabilities and basically rely on agents, the players in their countries are very fanatical. Although they do not have the strength to keep up with the wave of VR games, when it comes to PC and console games, regardless of the overall number, the payment Whether it is willingness or ability to pay, the growth rate is astonishing!"

Zhong Chang was worthy of his status as an elite in the workplace, and immediately began to talk about these companies seeking cooperation and the general situation of the game market in the country where they are located.

At the same time, Lin You's caring little assistant, Xiao Meng, understood him very well and showed him a piece of content:

"Southeast Asia - the land of honey"

Lin You scanned it roughly, and took a rough look:

It is also the reason why Daxia supports the domestic tertiary industry. Before that, he only noticed the amazing upgrading and iteration speed of the domestic game industry.

But I never considered that with such an astonishing speed of development and iteration, where did those eliminated mainframes, equipment, and even factory assembly lines end up?

He thought it had gone to the recycling bin.

But after reading this report, I realized that all of them have been transferred to the various subordinate countries of Daxia, especially the Southeast Asian countries with relatively backward related equipment!

Zhong Chang's introduction continued: "In many countries, the number of gamers even exceeds 20% to 50% of the Internet population! The market is very impressive."

"I understand." Hearing this, Lin You immediately overcame his inertia and changed his mind: "Invite them to have a meal to catch the wind, and then go to the experience store together."

Although the size of these countries is not large now, but looking at this amazing growth rate, I feel that as long as they are given some time, it is very possible to gather 100 to 200 million players in the future!

One or two billion virtual world users!

If you said this earlier, I wouldn't be sleepy!

Thanks Zhang Xunfei for rewarding 1500 points!
