Build a game empire from scratch

"Hello, hello." Fan Rui took the initiative to say hello.

Then he asked solemnly: "Yelang? Is it based on the legend of the Yelang Kingdom, warning yourself not to be arrogant?"

"Ah... this, um... almost, almost..." Yelang opened his mouth and replied awkwardly.

He couldn't answer: "No, it's Yelang of Qijilang in one night"?

Then do you want to meet people...

Seeing Yelang's embarrassment, Fan Rui had a serious face, but he was actually secretly laughing.

He knew Yelang. Although he hadn't watched his live broadcast much, he still had an impression of the well-known domestic anchors.

"Call me Ye Bin, this is my real name." Yelang introduced his real name, hoping that the other party would call him another name.

"Oh good, you know my name, Fan Rui is my real name, I don't have a nickname."

"Oh, alright."

Ye Bin agreed, but after that he didn't know how to answer.

Mainly he hasn't figured out what's going on yet.

I saw Lin You just now, and I was going to complain about my entanglement by NPCs in "Minecraft" many times, which led to the death of the society.

——He still didn't understand why a dead NPC came back to life and climbed onto his bed again.

It's just that Lin You didn't give him a chance at all. Before he could speak, he pulled him over and sat down, saying that he wanted to introduce someone to him.

After that, he pulled Fan Rui to sit down, but he ran away, which made him a little confused.

Then the two of them looked at each other, neither understanding what Lin You meant.

common topic……

Well, Fan Rui thought about what Lin You said, should it refer to games?

"How many Yunmeng games have you played?" Fan Rui sorted out his mentality, and began to guide the topic with the mentality of a game producer facing players.

"Played all of them."

"Which one do you like best?"

"I like them all." Ye Bin replied, but as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately changed his mind and said, "No! Except for "My World"!"

"Oh! Can you tell me the reason?" Fan Rui felt that he had grasped the point.

"Ah?" Ye Bin felt as if he had accidentally tricked himself once again, "Can you not say..."

"Tell me! Knowing the reason, we can improve better, and don't worry, I didn't participate in the production of "Minecraft", so you can speak bad things boldly."

Ye Bin wanted to cry but had no tears. In order to avoid death, he didn't even broadcast live on the airship today!

Can this be caught too? !

He didn't want to die offline, but he also wanted to find out what happened last night. After struggling for a long time, he finally said, "Let's talk about it first. I'll tell you, you can't laugh."

"Don't worry, I'm a professional game producer, no matter how funny you say, I won't laugh." Fan Rui replied very positively.

"Well, that's how it is..."

...

Lin You wore a headband on his head, and listened to the conversation between Fan Rui and Ye Bin with little interest.

He brought the two together out of his own bad taste, and wanted to see if some sparks could be sparked.

But who would have thought that it would be turned into an offline player investigation by Fan Rui.

Big disappointment.

So while listening to each other, he chatted with Zhu Cixia about petting the dog.

The place they stayed in was not big, it was still on the edge, and no players came to disturb them for the time being.

Players either gather around the window, looking at the scenery outside, or study the commemorative cards in their hands.

This card can also be obtained by players in the virtual world. After [Virtual Xiajing] is opened, they can use the card to take the airship again - it is impossible to fly again in reality, the cost is too high, and the process is too troublesome.

But in the virtual world, it can become a regular item.

At the same time, Lin You was also thinking that [Virtual Xiajing] is no longer suitable for adopting the [public version of Night City] currency model that gives players minimum living allowances.

After all, [Virtual Xia Jing] does not intend to sell it, but to directly open it to all players.

The virtual versions of other famous cities around the world will also be launched for free after they are completed, fully expanding the city map of the virtual world.

This requires Yunmeng to raise a mature and not too small team.

Therefore, the [virtual city] project must be able to generate income by itself, which can not only make the company's financial situation healthier, but also be a good incentive for team members.

Money may not be the only source of fulfillment at work, but it is the foundation of everything. Only when you are satisfied with money can you talk about other things.

Lin You's current preliminary idea is: maps and places are all free and open without any restrictions, and basic transportation is also free.

But similar to reality, the various value-added services provided by the NPC inside, such as eating, haircut, shopping, tea, massage, foot washing, hair washing and other consumption and service behaviors, are charged.

Of course, the fee will definitely not be the same as in reality, and the virtual currency exchanged with real currency will have a very high increase rate.

Lin You's preliminary plan is: the regular consumption needs of players, every month is about the same as the monthly card.

And this part of the recharge will not have an expiration date. If you are willing to save money, you can play for 30 yuan for a year.

It's even possible to go whoring completely for nothing.

——Anyway, the virtual world will not be hungry, and it is not really necessary to eat every day.

The specific exchange ratio, as well as which services must be free and which can be charged, must be discussed and analyzed in detail.

Moreover, when it comes to the formulation of long-term charging standards, at least one month of testing must be carried out before the official launch to confirm that there is no problem with the established standards.

Lin You was thinking about these miscellaneous things, but Fan Rui's sound of laughing wildly while patting the table suddenly came from his ears.

"Hahahahaha, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it... Hahaha, I am, I really can't hold back hahahahaha..."

This loud laughter can be heard clearly without the help of the [Bafang] headband at all, and it even attracted the attention of almost everyone in the cabin.

Seeing such a big reaction, Fan Rui was very sorry, and quickly raised his hand, covering his mouth tightly.

But even so, "Puff" laughter slipped out of his fingers again and again.

Ye Bin, who was opposite him, also covered his face, and covered his entire face with both hands, only his eyes were exposed between his fingers, staring at Fan Rui with questioning eyes.

"Yes, I'm sorry... Poof, that, I don't know very well..."

Before he finished speaking, Fan Rui, who saw Ye Bin's fierce eyes again and was worried about being thrown down, finally gained the upper hand in his desire to survive: "I'll ask you, and I'll tell you the reason soon."

Fan Rui called Xiao Chun on the spot and helped Ye Bin find out about the game mechanism.

Ye Bin finally figured out the reason after paying a huge price—the death of the offline club, and immediately made up his mind: he will never fuck strangers again... Bah! Strange NPC's bed!

Just bury that bed tonight! Bury as deep as you can!

I even wish I could play the game now and stuff that bed into the center of the earth!

...

...

Twenty minutes later, the airship began to slow down slowly and lowered its altitude little by little.

"arrive!"

"I saw!"

"Xia Jing, this perspective is amazing!"

Accompanied by the cheers of the passengers in the cabin and the sound of cameras snapping pictures, the main city of Xia Jing arrived.

The broadcasting equipment in the cabin made a short adjustment sound, and then a familiar human voice sounded——

"Hello, passengers! I am the navigator of this voyage: Lin You."

"Welcome everyone, take the [Cloud Dreamland] airship! Today is the maiden voyage of the Cloud Dreamland in both real and virtual worlds. Welcome everyone to ride!"

"At the same time, I'm sorry to inform everyone of one thing: this may also be the last voyage of Dreamland in the Clouds in reality. I hope you can fully enjoy the fun of the airship parade."

"Currently the airship has arrived in the sky above Xiajing and is entering the deceleration process. Please wait patiently. After 5 minutes, the lower deck will be officially opened. Interested friends, please go to the lower deck after wearing safety measures under the guidance of security personnel. , enjoy the low-altitude scenery of Xiajing."

"Have a nice trip everyone!"

Lin You's voice resounded in the real and virtual worlds at the same time, and the players on both sides were amazed.

"Such a big airship, just fly once? Is it so deep?"

"Can this be out of print?!"

"Then I can take more pictures!"

...

Even in the virtual world, these people feel that they don't need any security measures at all, and they are unwilling to wait for 5 minutes, and they have already begun to think about how to open the lower deck.

It's just not an easy task without specialized tools.

In the end, after waiting for 5 minutes, I got off the deck with the real passengers.

At this time, the speed of the airship has been reduced to about the same as that of a hot air balloon, and the body feels very slow. Even standing on the open lower deck, the wind blowing across the face is quite gentle, which is reassuring.

Everyone walked to the edge of the deck and looked at Xia Jing below. They only felt that there were layers of high-rise buildings spreading all the way to the distance. The closer to the center, the more prosperous it was, and there were more high-rise buildings.

In the past, when everyone walked in Xiajing, they only felt that there were tall buildings, and when they looked up, they could only see the sky divided into pieces by the tall buildings.

He talked about the prosperity of Xia Jing, but his personal experience was only crowded and busy.

In the busy commercial street, when you look up to the tall buildings with stiff necks, you feel like ants are walking among them.

bustling? Didn't see much.

The mountainous pressure is actually more real.

Until now, looking at it from this perspective, it seems that all the high-rise buildings in Xiajing have been stepped on under the soles of their feet, the streets they walked in the past, the storefronts they entered and exited, the buildings they saw at the first sight when they walked out of the subway entrance, and even the streets on the street. The traffic flow and pedestrians also have a panoramic view.

Unlike the ground, you can’t see clearly, unlike high-rise balconies, you can only see a corner, and unlike airplanes, you can only see for a short ten seconds.

One hundred passengers on the deck, and more than 10 million players in the virtual world, are holding on to the guardrail, staring wide-eyed, looking at the open scenery, almost reluctant to blink.

Familiar anchors like Super Tomato, Xia Yi, A Yi, and Yelang all forgot about the live broadcast and silently watched the scenery outside.

The players no longer paid attention to the host, even Lin You, the princess and An Rongyi no longer paid attention, and all looked at Xia Jing at their feet.

Lin Shun and Shuihua stood side by side, Shuihua pointed to a few unremarkable buildings, whispering something to Lin Shun.

Qin Songyun took Xiaochun's hand and said something to her, and both of them had sweet smiles on their faces.

Lin You looked to the right and found that Zhu Cixia was also looking at the city quietly with a strange look on his face.

Looking at the left hand side, Xiaomeng stepped on an unsuitable wooden stool, leaned out with both hands on the railing.

Lin You raised his left hand subconsciously, trying to stop the child's dangerous movements.

But he realized right away: Xiaomeng is not in reality, but just gave him an extra visual signal through the [Bafang] auxiliary headband on his head.

Even so, he still patted her pink head angrily in the air, telling her to calm down a little.

Looking around, looking at his feet and the distance, Lin You suddenly felt a burst of heartfelt happiness and satisfaction, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

...

...

Compared with the nature and comfort on the airship, people on the ground feel completely different!

Think about it, a giant flying object more than 300 meters long and more than 50 meters wide slowly flies by at an ultra-low altitude of less than 300 meters.

The shadow it casts on the ground alone can cover several streets of sunlight!

Not only the street, but also the office buildings passing along the way were covered by this huge shadow. In the suddenly dimmed light, migrant workers stopped their work one after another, came to the window quickly, and looked up at the sky.

Then I saw a huge monster covering the sky and the sun, slowly flying past my head.

Unbelievable, there was a lot of discussion, and selfies were posted on the circle.

The pedestrians on the street all stopped, straightened their necks, and looked at the giant above their heads.

It’s not enough just to watch, but also to discuss excitedly with friends around you, or even strangers——

"It's so big! Isn't this size too outrageous?"

"Airship! Lin You's airship! It was reported in the news before!"

"I have an impression! But I didn't remember the route, so it passed by us? This is much bigger than in the camera!"

"Outrageous! From the live camera, it is bigger than the plane, but now I know that it is more than 'a little' bigger!"

...

There is no doubt that there is a lot of discussion, but there is absolutely no panic.

Not to mention that many people know about this, even those who don't know don't panic, just stand where they are, take out their phones and start searching for news.

No one felt that under the current situation, the sky of Daxia's capital could pose any threat.

On the contrary, many people felt that they hadn't seen enough and followed the airship on the ground.

——The speed of the airship is very low, and it can catch up on the ground. It doesn't need to be too fast. It can catch up with a bicycle, and it will be a little tiring at most.

So naturally, many people riding bicycles, electric vehicles, and driving cars began to follow the airship along the street to watch the excitement.

Not only the crowds gathered on the street, but also on the trajectory of the airship and on the rooftops of tall buildings, a large number of people began to appear, and quickly became crowded.

The farther you go to the city center, the more tall buildings are close to 200 meters. At this time, the passengers on the deck of the airship and the audience on the roof of the tall buildings are so close that they can almost see each other's faces clearly.

Passengers on the deck could hear exclamations from below from time to time.

In the most central area, on the top of several buildings with a height of more than 250 meters, a large number of spectators stopped here, watching the almost level airship flying over, their excitement was indescribable.

A large number of media reporters also gathered here, setting up long guns and short cannons, shooting at the airship in a burst of chaotic shots.

Especially for Lin You, the princess, An Rongyi and others on the deck, they frantically took pictures endlessly.

They have never seen such a formation!

The huge airship, the open high-altitude deck, the low-rise high-rise buildings on the ground... It's almost a big movie in one shot!

At the same time, they are also looking forward to what will happen next!

After all, according to common sense, if it is for publicity purposes, it is time to throw the banner down.

Countless pairs of eyes, countless cameras all pointing here, now is the undeniable, out-and-out moment of attention!

No matter what kind of publicity it is, it will definitely be effective.

Even now, it's not a problem that Lin You and Yun Mengmeng don't want to publicize!

After you engage in such a big battle, how many people are staring straight at you, waiting for your big news to come out.

If you don't do anything, just walk around like this and withdraw, the crowd will not agree!

The media had to be pissed off on the spot!

Fortunately, Lin You is not that selfish, he always has to take care of everyone's feelings!

But the banner?

Sorry, that's too low-end!

"Crack!" Lin You snapped his fingers easily.

Zhu Cixia looked over strangely, but didn't understand what Lin You meant by this move.

But Xiaomeng on the other side is different, "hehe" smiles, and claps her hands.

The next moment, on the top of the huge airship more than 300 meters long, the device prepared in advance was activated, and a huge cloth roll of more than 300 meters long and 40 meters wide rolled down from the top!

The people on the deck didn't realize it, but on the rooftops of countless high-rise buildings near and far, the citizens watching the excitement immediately noticed it.

No way, compared to the narrow deck below the airship, this huge airship hull is the most eye-catching and eye-catching!

But now, hundreds of meters of cloth rolling down, how can it not attract attention!

The photographers who were still adjusting the focus and trying to capture the deck were awakened by a pat on the shoulder by their colleagues, and switched their devices to the airship.

——It is necessary to change the equipment. After the huge cloth roll is unrolled, the picture on the ground can be taken clearly with a mobile phone, but the telephoto is not suitable.

It was a huge poster.

Two heavily armed soldiers stood sideways amidst the thick smoke billowing above their knees, each with their faces exposed.

They held their guns tightly in their hands while staring at each other's eyes, maintaining a suffocating confrontation.

In the upper left corner of the screen, there is a violent explosion of yellow light and sparks, and in the lower right corner, there is a blue-gray smoke and dust showing bright light just before the explosion.

The warm tones of yellow and the cool tones of blue each occupy half of the upper part of the painting, rendering the two soldiers in confrontation a majestic aura and implying their irreconcilable conflict.

Once the 300-meter-long huge painting of the sky was displayed, it immediately amazed everyone.

Everyone started to take pictures like crazy, especially the knowledgeable game media, they were so excited beyond words!

no doubt! This is that mysterious war game!

But the performance of Lin You and Xiao Meng is not over yet——

After the picture was completely displayed, there was only a pause of 5 seconds. At the very center of the confrontation between the two soldiers, amidst the billowing smoke under their feet, a fire suddenly lit up!

Not the kind of fire that was drawn! It's a real fire that is visible to the naked eye in reality!

Many people were petrified on the spot!

At a height of 100 meters, the airbag caught fire!

Hundreds of passengers! Daxia's richest man, princess, and queen are all on it!

If the airbag blows up, it will be the real super invincible explosion news!

But of course things don't go that way—

The flames rose against the wind and spread rapidly, but they did not spread in all directions randomly, but along a clear and straight route.

And the burnt area was immediately extinguished, revealing only the yellow and white cloth underneath.

In less than 10 seconds, the flame was on the thick smoke at the bottom of the poster, burning out two lines of words, one large and one small, and then quickly extinguished without leaving any traces.

Even around the words, there are not many burn marks left.

And those two lines of huge fonts are the name of the new game——

【Battlefield】

[BATTLEFIELD]

I couldn't find a good place to divide chapters, no matter how I divided them, it didn't feel right, so I put them together.

So that's it for today.

Sorry for the long wait, everyone.
