Build a game empire from scratch

Lin You got into the laboratory and concentrated on knocking on the plane.

But Fan Rui and Shen Ping, who received his news, had to get busy.

Fan Rui, in particular, managed to convince the boss to accumulate the holidays that he and some employees will take after finishing "John Wick" into the annual leave, and then won the opportunity to join the "Battlefield" development team as soon as possible. Chance.

Now he has to put down his work, stop the single-player campaign that just started, and go to meet Shen Ping, and finally check the preparations for the "John Wick" event.

This competition is still very important.

It is very rare, and it may further expand the user base of Yunmeng, and even activate potential middle-aged and elderly users, so we must pay full attention to it.

...

With the arrival of a new day, the freshness of Dinosaur Island has not dissipated.

Even the influence of prehistoric creatures has surpassed the ladies and sisters in the mysterious store in Night City.

After finding the "login point" yesterday, Xia Yi also successfully verified that she would indeed be resurrected from the nearest "login point" after death.

After that, all players searched for such supply points on the island.

With the joint efforts of everyone, several similar places were soon discovered, and the shapes were not exactly the same: some were mostly buried in the ground, some were embedded in the mountain as a whole, and some even looked like tree houses.

But without exception, the interior decoration style is very modern, even the furniture is brand new.

Except for a small number of unlucky ones who were killed by the dinosaur group, more than 80% of the players who went ashore successfully activated the resurrection point.

Afterwards, everyone went back to the seaside again, and used the [Bathing Girl Table Lamp] to draw a long safe channel on the sea, and began to pick up people.

During this process, the full-fledged behemoth never appeared again, which made the project much simpler.

A large number of players who participated in the battle followed this channel and successfully arrived at Dinosaur Island.

Some of these people went offline to rest contentedly, and some began to explore the island tirelessly.

There are also some people who return to the coast to replace those players who need to go offline to sleep on the safe channel.

——If the player goes offline, the manifested [Bather Lamp] will disappear, and there will be a piece of the safe channel missing.

With their joint efforts, the waterway has been busy all night and has not disappeared.

It was not until morning, under the strong pressure of the working day, that the channel broke.

But now, through their efforts, the number of players on Dinosaur Island has become so considerable that it has to be diverted.

These people left the coast and scattered into the forest in every direction, starting their own voyage of discovery.

—or a hunting trip.

——Or the journey of being hunted...

But when it was almost noon, they all stopped. After reading the news from their friends, they quickly opened the panel and looked at a newly released video by Yunmeng.

"Quick Chase" official account, released simultaneously on all platforms——

"The "Quick Chase" National Indiscriminate Contest, the countdown to the opening!"

The e-sports club has been looking forward to this news for a long time, but the players still feel a little sudden.

But this does not affect everyone's concern for this event.

After all, in the final analysis, filming with dinosaurs is only a temporary novelty, and intrigue with other players is the eternal fun!

It's just that no matter the club or the players, there is one thing that they can't figure out: How did Yunmeng change his sex, and why did he make a special video?

In the "League of Assassins" before, wasn't it all over with an announcement?

It's not like Yunmeng's style to be so solemn.

With such doubts in mind, the video started playing——

First of all, from a bird's-eye view, the night view of Night City is brightly lit, and then the camera quickly swooped down, and came to Paradise Casino!

At the entrance of the casino, luxury cars flow like water, men and women in various suits, leather shoes, and red dresses open the car door, step on the red carpet, bathed in dense flashing lights on both sides, and enter Paradise Casino step by step.

In the casino, all kinds of items, such as turntables, roulette wheels, dice, slot machines, and scattered card tables, have all disappeared.

In front of everyone's eyes, there are card tables of exactly the same size and neatly arranged. There is a supervisor standing beside each card table.

The camera cuts, and these men and women, who are full of upper-class atmosphere from head to toe, have already sat down at the poker table.

The angle of view is raised a little bit, and the scene of the entire casino hall is printed in the eyes of the audience.

Then, a few lines of large white characters specially designed to be a bit tacky emerged——

"Night City's First National Indiscriminate Landlords Competition

The highest bonus is 4 million!

Obtain the unique honorary title-【King of Cards】!

Welcome all players, come to participate! "

From the moment the interior scene of the casino appeared, everyone fell into a state of confusion. Now that these few lines of words appeared, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Especially the managers, coaches, and even professional players of those e-sports clubs.

"play cards?!"

"Fight the Landlord?!"

"What the hell?!"

Everyone is looking forward to death. Many clubs have started to train "Quick Chase" players early on. They have been playing endless training matches and confrontation battles every day, just waiting to get a good result in the national competition. The result...

Is your home competition for everyone to play cards? ? !

Then there are professional players who are farts, can the big boss be able to play by himself? !

Players’ complaints are relatively simple——

"Fight the landlord, you are so classy..."

"Those who didn't know thought they were going to play bridge."

"By the way, if it's Landlord Fighting, wouldn't it be a competition of luck?"

"Fart! Are you looking down on my HD Gambler's card skills? I'll just accept the 4 million!"

"Xiao Na? Just kidding! Have you asked me for Linshui Gambling King's opinion?"

"Under Jiuyuan ghost hand Liu, please enlighten me!"

...

For a while, the barrage was full of comments from players playing tricks.

But the video isn't over yet.

The camera continues to climb slowly, through the floor between floors, to the second floor of the casino.

As soon as it passed through the floor, the sound of "hua la hua la" sounded immediately, and it even made people feel a little noisy.

As the camera rises, more voices become clear——

"Crack! Thirty thousand!"

"Crack! Touch!"

"Crash, blah, blah."

"Touch yourself!"

"Hulahula."

"All one color, one dragon, fool!"

"East, east, south, south, south, west, west, northwest, north, north, north, hahahahaha!"

...

All the pictures are finally clearly displayed in front of the audience.

There are also neatly arranged tables here, as well as gamblers and supervisors sitting around the tables. In terms of scale, it is not inferior to downstairs.

The only difference is: the item here is mahjong.

Everyone was playing mahjong passionately, shouting out the cards they played, and smashing the mahjong tiles on the table, the sound of "pa pa pa pa" was endless.

The font of the same style reappeared in the center of the screen——

"Night City's First National Undifferentiated Mahjong Competition

The highest bonus is 4 million!

Obtain the unique honorary title - [Sparrow God]!

Welcome all players, come to participate! "

In the last half a second, a similar trophy flashed across the screen.

The video is finally over.

A large number of viewers fell into a short-term blank thinking.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Super Tomato opened the calendar and checked the time.

After reading it, I was still not sure, so I read it twice more, until finally I had to admit that it is indeed November, not April.

"So, isn't this really an April Fool's joke?"

"Also, isn't this really illegal?"

——Of course it’s not illegal. Before deciding to hold such a competition, Lin You asked the company’s legal counsel.

Legal answer: As long as it is purely for entertainment, does not involve economy and material, and does not involve substantial gambling, then it is not illegal.

He is equivalent to posting money to make money, inviting everyone to play cards in the virtual world.

For this reason, what he paid was not only the bonuses for the championship, runner-up and third runner-up.

Whether fighting the landlord or playing mahjong, the top 100 players will receive bonuses!

After a few seconds of delay, both the audience in the live broadcast room and the netizens in the comment section of the "Match Announcement" all came back to their senses and began to complain crazily:

"Lin You won't go in directly, will he?"

"You can earn 4 million by playing poker? Is there such a good thing?"

"Okay, mom can no longer say that I'm not doing my job properly!"

"I really want to, but what if I don't know how to play cards?"

"Father taught you, stupid!"

...

And, the topic that Lin You expected to appear, did not appear unexpectedly——

"Should I...should I sign up for my mother?"

"My sister has a very high winning rate in playing mahjong, and she wins all my lucky money every year. I have to ask her to sign up quickly. I will score points for how many wins she really wins!"

"Will this thing be permanent in the future? If it is permanent, I plan to buy a mirage for my father, so as not to lose my coffin book to others one day if I don't pay attention."

"Speaking of which, my grandma likes to play mahjong very much, but now she can't find anyone to play with, and she is in a daze every day. Can I let her play in the virtual world?"

"Playing mahjong can prevent Alzheimer's disease. If this activity can be held permanently, I will place an order for the elders this Saturday! One set per person!"

...

The players cheered and the club managers were dumbfounded.

Quite a few anchors, almost in no particular order, opened the video website and began to search for keywords——

【Landlord Rules】

【How to play mahjong】

There was no other way. They had the identity of the anchor, so they decided not to miss this big event no matter what.

But they can neither fight landlords nor play mahjong...

There may be many such players.

But it doesn't matter, now log in to Night City, enter the Paradise Casino, and you will find that an NPC greets you proactively, asking if you need to teach Doudizhu or Mahjong.

If you say you need it, the NPC will immediately take you upstairs to the exclusive tutorial room.

The tutorial is very vivid, and there are NPCs to play with, including teaching packages.

But in fact, regardless of how well the tutorials are done, Lin You knows very well in his heart: these players who can't play poker in their twenties, it is impossible that they have no chance to learn how to play poker in reality.

They won't, it just means they're not interested in it.

Even if you learn it, you won't become very enthusiastic, and more just participate with the mentality of joining in the fun.

The key purpose of this activity is to leverage the market of "chess and board games".

The main audience of chess and card games is still those who are older.

So in the final analysis, it is to improve Yunmeng's user ecology and hit 200 million users.

Of course, according to Yunmeng's expansion pace, if it successfully enters the European market next month, it's not a bad idea to promote the essence of the country and have a global mahjong competition!
