Build a game empire from scratch

Today is a small year, and there are very few employees in Yunmeng Company who are still working.

Even those who were still working were sent back home by Lin You to work remotely. Anyway, meeting in the virtual office was no different from reality.

But there are really not many people who need work now.

All the content of the first chapter of "Chang'an" has been completed, and many employees have already begun to think about some new ways to play in the second chapter.

Right now, only the release of the game is left. As long as there are no outrageous problems, you can spend the new year with peace of mind.

Based on past experience and confidence in their own abilities, no one thought there would be any problems, so everyone was very relaxed.

When Lin You was woken up by Xiaomeng, he was still a little confused - the training was really hard during the day, and he had to study the chip at night, so it was hard to avoid getting up in the morning.

The aerospace training center is not on holiday yet.

Due to the relatively high work intensity and time constraints of space missions, space workers will only rest for three days from New Year's Eve to the second day of the new year, and do not have holidays at other times.

Lin You's training arrangement will naturally last until the day before New Year's Eve.

"Ah~~~" He stretched his waist, yawned a long time, and struggled to get up from the bed.

"what time is it?"

"7:50, only the last 10 minutes left." Xiao Meng told the time accurately.

Hearing this, Lin You immediately sobered up a lot.

It's not that I'm worried about delaying the business, but mainly because I don't want to miss the expressions of the players when they complete the opening mission.

He squinted his eyes to quickly change clothes and wash up. When the washing was finished, there was a knock on the door, and Yue Pengju brought him breakfast.

While eating, Lin You couldn't help thinking: Yue Pengju seems to be developing more and more in the direction of a life assistant.

While eating, he had already put on the headband, and Xiaomeng came over to eat together with a small bowl, and from time to time put two chopsticks in his dishes.

Of course, the business was not delayed: several holographic windows had already appeared on the dining table, which was convenient for Lin You to watch the excitement and have dinner.

The smallest window is the countdown to the sale, which has entered the last minute.

The second smallest window is the "Chang'an" release background, which is responsible for counting the total sales of the game.

The rest are the anchors on the major live broadcast platforms, and the few people Lin You is most familiar with are in the most obvious positions.

Now these anchors are all sitting in their own virtual houses, quietly waiting for the countdown to end, and rushing into Chang'an as soon as possible.

In addition to Lin You and Xiao Meng's camera, there are more and more anchors doing the same.

"Chang'an" once again continued the tradition of Yunmeng, and achieved domination of the screen in the game area of ​​all live broadcast platforms!

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"Release!" Shen Ping did it himself. When "Chang'an" was officially released and the server was opened, he released a total of 7 sales congratulatory pictures in a row!

Celebrate the sales of "Chang'an" breaking through 500,000 copies, 1 million copies, 1.5 million copies, 3 million copies, 5 million copies, 8 million copies and 10 million copies!

Where have players and the media seen such a formation?

Although I already knew that the pre-sale sales of "Chang'an" exceeded 11 million copies, but seeing Yunmeng release 7 congratulatory pictures in one go, I was still shocked.

And immediately followed up and forwarded the news of the 10 million sales congratulatory picture.

But before they could think about what to say, Shen Ping threw out the eighth sales congratulatory picture again——

[Congratulations to the sales volume of "Chang'an" breaking through 12 million copies! Thank you players for your love and support! ]

The media who had just reposted the 10 million sales celebration poster had no choice but to repost the latest news non-stop.

Then just after reposting, Shen Ping's 14 million sales congratulatory picture was sent out again!

"?"

The media felt that something was wrong, and quickly suspended the forwarding action.

And their judgment was wise—

Within a few seconds, Shen Ping once again released a congratulatory picture of 16 million sales.

The game media are still on hold.

After that, there are 18 million and 20 million He Tu.

Not only the media were dumbfounded, but ordinary netizens were also dumbfounded—the sales exceeded 20 million in less than 5 minutes after the release? !

A portion of 500 yuan, with a total revenue of 10 billion!

Netizens exclaimed: This is too scary!

How long did it take "Chang'an" from development to now?

more than a month? Even taking Wu Di's entry into Chang'an as the coordinate, and pushing forward two months, the total would be 3 months.

Can the money printing machine print 10 billion in three months?

Not to mention that this is just the beginning. Judging by this momentum, the sales of "Chang'an" are far from over!

The editor-in-chief of "Game Base" finally thought of how to evaluate the sales of "Chang'an"——

[Scary! ]

——Although the sales volume of Yunmeng's previous games was terrifying, they all followed a gradual process. How could it be as exaggerated as it is now?

Outside of the game, the sales journey of "Chang'an" continues.

In the game, the journey of the players has just begun.

*

The moment he logged in, Cangniao saw a screen.

The picture is a little blurry for some reason, but it can still be vaguely seen as the backyard of a certain farmhouse. A little boy and a little girl are chasing chickens in the yard.

Then the parents with blurred faces also appeared in the screen, and the family of four enjoyed themselves happily.

But in the next scene, a robber suddenly broke into the house. The parents hid the two children, but they themselves fell into a pool of blood.

The next day, the villagers found the two children from under the bed, and the two children who lost their parents cried loudly.

In the next scene, the younger sister leaves with a man in a soap suit, while the older brother stays in the village.

After that, the elder brother grew up quickly, but the younger sister never appeared again.

Thick fog slowly obscured all images.

Just when Cangniao thought the "opening CG" was over, a hot red saber suddenly cut through the thick fog!

——Molten iron splashes everywhere!

The camera suddenly turned around, and a young girl's face, which still remained somewhat green, appeared in the center of the frame, but the girl's complexion was pale, her shoulders were covered with blood, and she looked helpless.

The camera turned back again, the thick fog receded slowly, and Cangniao finally saw clearly—the red-hot saber was being held in the hands of an astonishingly burly villain.

The villain was covered in armor, with a ferocious metal ghost face covering his face, and even the strong horse under his crotch was also covered in armor.

He slashed his sword immediately, like a god and a demon!

The next moment, this giant blade flowing with molten iron was chopped off!

"Fuck!" Cang Niao was startled suddenly, leaned back with all his strength, but opened his eyes, waking up from the dream.

Before he had time to analyze what was going on, he was directly on the spot in a daze:

"Where the hell is this??"

As a core-oriented, god-level player, his first important goal after the game's release is of course to compete for the first pass of the game.

He made a lot of efforts for this. During the closed test period, he basically didn't mess around. He ran almost all the cities in Chang'an, and bought a detailed map of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, and kept the map firmly in his mind.

The purpose is to gain as much opportunity as possible after entering the game - there are not a few players who have taken the same approach as him, and they are all players who want to compete for the first pass of the game.

But, but!

"Why do you enter the game in the wild?!"

"This game also has field maps?"

——During the closed test period, although you can go out of the city gate, no matter how you go, it will repeat the scenery infinitely, and you will return to the city gate as soon as you step back, just like walking to the border of the map in previous games.

So everyone thinks that the game "Chang'an" just takes place in the city, and there is no concept of "outside the city".

But now, as soon as he entered the game, he was slapped in the face by Yunmeng...

Cangniao looked around, and found that he seemed to be following a caravan. It was already evening, and the NPCs were camping and rectifying. Some people had already built simple stoves and started cooking.

And he himself was wearing a common ancient costume, with a sword pinned to his waist, sitting on a tree stump, holding a letter in his left hand and a bag of dry food in his right hand, obviously planning to deal with it.

But before he could eat it, a woman with a knife on her waist came over and handed Cang Niao a pear. She was about to speak when the world stopped suddenly.

A line of words appeared in front of Cang Niao: [Please enter your last name. ]

Below is an input box, followed by a dice and a book icon.

The book is "Hundred Surnames", and clicking on it will display the reference surnames for the players.

The dice represent [random], click on the dice and it will randomly shake a surname for the player from "Hundreds of Surnames".

These two settings are not mainly aimed at Daxia players—even if Daxia players don't want to use their real surnames, it's not difficult to choose a random surname.

These two settings are mainly for the convenience of overseas players, especially players outside the Daxia cultural circle, who know almost nothing about Huaxia surnames.

It would be weird whether they used their own surnames or asked them to make up one.

Imagine an ancient NPC calling the player: "Young Man Smith", "Brother Johnson", "Mr. Williams", "Mr. Miller"...

That's weird!

Therefore, members of the Yunmeng development team unanimously agreed to add these two auxiliary functions.

Of course, if European and American players insist on calling them by their original names and using their real surnames, Yunmeng will not stop them...

Cangniao didn't think much, and decisively wrote down his real surname: Ning.

Time turned again, and the woman said her own words: "Brother Ning, don't worry about your sister, it's just a dream. When I get to Chang'an, I will definitely see her safe and sound."

'So... that girl who was hunted down is my sister? ’ Cangniao subconsciously glanced at the letter in his hand.

But before he read it, the woman on the opposite side said again: "Brother Ning, it's better not to eat dry food, it will be ready after dinner, come and eat with us?"

"Okay." Cang Niao nodded without hesitation.

This dry food looks terrible at first glance.

Of course, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if the player doesn't eat anyway.

What's important is the way the girl looks at him—the slightly flushed cheeks, the pretentious and shy posture, it's easy for people to see: this girl probably has a crush on him.

To be more precise: this girl has taken a fancy to the "protagonist".

And this girl's appearance is not bad, and her figure is ridiculously good, even if she is wearing a strong outfit, she can't hide her huge advantages.

——The time paused just now, even though Cangniao only had customs clearance in his eyes, he still couldn't help but glance at the girl's proud breasts during the live broadcast that needed to maintain his image.

It’s not that he’s lustful, it’s that when something is too big to a certain extent and exceeds the norm too much, it’s hard for you to control your attention and not deviate towards the “extraordinary” place.

This is human nature.

Just as thunder and lightning always strike towards the highest point, human attention is always attracted by rare things.

This is the law of nature.

Seeing the woman leave happily, Cang Niao finally made time to read the letter in his hand.

After reading it, he realized that it was a reply letter from his distant relative, and in that dream, it was this distant relative who adopted his sister to live in Chang'an.

But in the letter, the distant relative said very apologetically: They don't know where Xinxin, the nickname of the protagonist's sister, has gone now.

And repeatedly said: They really didn't treat the little girl harshly, but the whole family regarded her as their own and liked her very much. But it seems that it is because of being too doting and indulgent that she is now missing.

The specific situation is a bit complicated, and they hope that he will come to Chang'an for an interview, and they also hope that the little girl can be found back.

While reading the letter, the main task finally appeared in front of Cangtiao——

[Main task: Go to Chang'an and find out why my sister disappeared. ]

The character panel is also activated at the same time.

The warehouse bird opened the first time——

Name: warehouse bird

Identity: Ranger

Character level: Lv.1 (0/100)

Master martial arts:

[Superficial Kung Fu · Body (Beginner)]

[Introduction to swordsmanship and art (introduction)]

Strengthening points: 0

Comprehensive evaluation: Yamamura Nofu

——

"..." Cang Niao was speechless for a moment, "What the hell is an entry-level entry-level swordsmanship..."

But soon, he adjusted his mood.

At the beginning, the whiteboard is also normal.

And compared to the previous closed test, the situation is much better.

There are identities, clothes, money bags, weapons, tasks, and even basic martial arts.

In the future, as long as you fight, slay monsters, and gain experience, you can upgrade your level and strengthen your martial arts until you become a generation of heroes!

Even at the beginning, there are strong and invincible big-breasted girls who admire...

"This is the treatment of the protagonist!" Cang Niao couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Putting down the letter, I saw that the admirer had already waved his arms and beckoned him to dinner.

Cangniao put away the letter and walked over swiftly.

He intends to exchange emotions and increase his favorability.

——In the promotional film released by Yunmeng before, there is an issue that is dedicated to the home system. Players can not only buy a house in Chang'an City, but also recruit NPCs to live in it.

For example, buy a few maids and maids.

Then if you have enough goodwill, it should be fine to help a few brothel girls redeem themselves, or marry a chivalrous girl to go home, right?

Anyway, the main quest won't start until Chang'an, so if you're idle now, you're idle, let's try it.

Cangniao approached the stove, took the bowls and chopsticks from the little fan girl, thanked her with a smile, and the girl immediately showed a happy smile.

Cang Niao was about to hit the iron while it was hot, and tried some earthy love words to test the effect, but suddenly found that the soup in the bowl, which was already calm, suddenly had ripples again.

The next moment, the dense sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded from a very close place, quickly approaching them!

Shouts rang out from around the crowd——

"There are robbers! Over twenty of them! On horseback! Hide! Get behind the wagon!"

"Shhhhhh!"

Almost as soon as the words were spoken, several arrows were shot at the crowd at high speed, and three people fell down in an instant.

"Ah—" The ordinary people in the caravan immediately panicked.

The person who shouted didn't know if he hit the arrow, but he didn't dare to continue shouting anyway.

The big-breasted girl also dragged Cangniao to the back of the truck in a panic.

Looking at this scene, Cang Niao did not panic at all, and even had an illusion of "it should be so".

He couldn't help complaining to the audience:

"I knew it as soon as I stepped on the horse! It's unreasonable not to die at the beginning!"

4200, that's all for today. I know very little, but I need to sort out a lot of things, need more time, forgive me.
