I just want players to save money, but I was made the richest man

"That's unreasonable!"

"How can a company as big as ours, Netcom, be knocked over by players?"

"We're hiring people overnight! We can also hire temporary workers. Find a way to plug this gap!"

That night, when Lu Long learned about the latest progress of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", he couldn't sit still for a moment.

This game, after being forcibly banned for three days, suddenly took off again!

And it's the kind that can hardly be suppressed.

Moreover, although "War of Destruction" was released on the shelves in the past three days, the feedback received was extremely poor.

Originally, it was based on the past situation.

It is estimated that the turnover on the first day will directly exceed 100 million.

After all, the total investment cost is only 500 million, which is not as normal as my own New Year's Eve masterpiece, but the first-day turnover of over 100 million is definitely not low.

But what about now?

On the first day, a total of 380,000 were sold.

The next day, it fell directly below single digits (single digits in 10,000 units)

On the third day, even 10,000 yuan was gone.

If we talk about the older-generation FPS that was previously operated, players still had some sentimental bonuses, or sunk costs were invested in them, which made them reluctant to give up. Even if they were impacted by "Jedi", they would not be wiped out.

So the performance of "War and Destruction" in these three days is undoubtedly that it threw itself into the gutter.

To make Lu Long's mentality more stable, the resurgence of "Jedi" + the tension of "War of Destruction" is extremely strong.

It also caused his blood pressure to instantly jump to 180.

What's even worse is.

NetEx has approved the PUBG-like gameplay of "Shock Survival", and the board of directors seems to be very approving of this new gameplay. With a wave of their hand, they directly allocated 1 billion in investment.

The "Shock Survival" project has already started intensively, and nearly 70% of the special staff have been recruited.

Let alone let "Jedi" rise.

Lu Long once again put pressure on the Sharks' top management, asking them to recruit people quickly overnight, no matter what, they would extinguish this resurgent trend.

Netcom holds 20% of the shares of Shark Platform, which is the second largest shareholder after Tengjing with 25%. Shark Platform itself holds only 8% of the shares, leaving little room for resistance.

Teng Jing and Yin Hui were unexpectedly silent about this incident. Perhaps they felt the terrifying momentum of "Jedi" and did not dare to cause trouble at will.

He opened a new bottle of vc and swallowed several tablets in one gulp. When the cold and sweet feeling spread into his mouth, Lu Long slowly calmed down.

"How can a small game company and a group of small gamers rebel against nature?"

"I want to see what else you can do."

————

Shark executives followed Lu Long's request overnight and began to mobilize employees from other departments and set up a temporary supervision team.

Used to counter players’ iterative ‘seclusion flow’ style of play.

The reason why I couldn't completely suppress the popularity of "Jedi" before was because there were so few people.

Now that human resources have been brought in, it can almost be said to be as stable as a hand.

When the superintendents saw that their manpower had been strengthened, their confidence instantly increased.

The result was something that all the senior officials did not expect.

Overnight.

Players’ playing styles are so iterative again!

The environment of the previous version has not been deactivated yet, and the new version has been automatically updated.

After experiencing the pioneering play style of the first generation of Small Clip, and gaining recognition from the majority of players.

Zhang Heng, who is highly regarded by players as the second-generation goalkeeper, has improved his playing style and achieved certain success. He has won a victory for chicken players, boosted their morale, and expanded his influence.

Facing capital head on and not retreating really made many players feel bad.

And that night, the NAA forum.

A newly created user with the ID name "Mao Mao doesn't want to be a psychologist" published a 10,000-word summary that can be called a paper.

This article comprehensively analyzes the shortcomings of the current playing methods of first-hand chicken players from multiple perspectives such as 'psychology', 'tactics', 'social effects', and 'sustaining impact', and also points out many possible problems in the future. hidden dangers.

The logical rigor and professional sophistication of his articles are almost flawless.

It even made the NAA's major division moderators say, "I'm on my knees."

Among them, the article pointedly pointed out that the reason why players united as one and triggered such a large-scale gathering was that eating chicken was just a trigger.

More importantly, players are eager to have the right to make their own choices instead of being forced to accept it.

Moreover, if this battle ultimately fails, it will have an indelible impact on the player base.

In the future, it will be difficult to see a force that can match the previous strength.

Therefore, if we want to fight this battle well, we must strengthen our methods.

The last part of the article also gives a series of suggestions.

The article stated that the current fighting style is still superficial. If the opponent increases military support, it is likely to become a stalemate.

But the people opposite are paid by the military, so they can get rewards if they do official business.

But players do it purely out of love.

A stalemate will only lead to players' enthusiasm gradually fading, and then total defeat.

The key to killing the game is to arm a group of more elite players.

Simply put, make the live broadcast more obscure.

It’s best to say ‘don’t talk about super management, even water friends can’t understand what the anchor is broadcasting’, the more abstract the better.

There is a brilliance in this strategy.

If you encounter a live broadcast room that you don't understand, you can always handle it as "eating chicken on the broadcast".

But super management is not enough. As a live broadcast platform, it needs to continuously attract new anchors.

They can't just block a live broadcast room just because it doesn't attract viewers.

Even in terms of a protracted war, the capital is well worth it.

Once this tactic was released, it instantly caused a sensation among NAA players!

The new user "Koneko doesn't want to be a psychologist" is also regarded by everyone as the third generation in charge of the "Abstract Flow".

Immediately, some big-name players began to study it, and began to analyze it word for word for some half-understanding but enthusiastic players.

There are also a group of technical geeks who started providing technical support overnight.

Wait until the next day.

The super-control team of the reinforced troops was put on duty and vowed to go on a killing spree to completely wipe out the remnants of the chicken-eating party.

As a result, it just rushed to major live broadcast rooms.

All supervisors were confused.

Drawing the sword and looking around, I feel confused!

In the true sense of the word, draw your sword and look around at a loss!

There is no ‘armor-piercing’ style of play like the first generation.

There is also no second-generation ‘seclusion flow’ path.

What was presented to them was the rise of postmodern abstract culture after another iteration!

How concrete and abstract is it?

In someone's live broadcast room, the entire live broadcast screen is directly raster encrypted.

The barcodes that fill the screen are so densely stacked that even the barcode reader in the hand of a cashier girl scanning goods in a supermarket says she can't scan them.

If you don't have ten or eight Adventure Tiger Team decryption cards in your hand, you won't be able to tell what he is broadcasting.

There are also people's live broadcast rooms that have brought Jedi live broadcast to a higher level.

The principle of persistence of vision is used.

When Super Tube looked at it at a glance, he could only see a snowflake screen that looked like a broken old TV set.

But my water friends know very well that as long as you find the right angle and squint your eyes slightly, you can watch the Jedi live broadcast smoothly and even distinguish the type of gun.

What's more, an electronic electrocardiogram is directly thrown into the live broadcast room.

For those who didn’t know, they thought it was a medical student boss who was going to broadcast to educate everyone on the changing patterns of electrocardiograms.

But if you look at it for a while, you will find that when the electrocardiogram beats, the line indicating the heartbeat is used to outline a scene from "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".

And it also fucking requires blinking to fill in the frame.

These scenes in the live broadcast room made the supervisors feel depressed.

What we have is military strength.

Why are you all so fucking technology? ? ?

Damn it!

Can't beat it at all!

As the super management encountered unprecedented difficulty in banning it, the defensive front also began to be destroyed like a dam bursting.

Chicken-eating players have quickly taken over many mainstream live broadcast platforms such as Shark, Langya, and Perak Station.

There are even some extremely fanatical players who have captured the live broadcast platform of "stretching out an index finger, bending it and then straightening it".

Some viewers who had just taken off their pants and were about to exert some energy were forced to accept a wave of cultural output as soon as they entered the live broadcast room.

Can you imagine that scene? A pair of milky white snowflakes slowly reflect the image of a second head while shaking.

Various abstract live broadcast styles began to become popular. Because they were too outrageous, they were spread by more and more people.

In less than a week since its launch, this style of play has made "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" completely famous.

Of course, the play style is only auxiliary.

If the game is not good enough, even if other passers-by know about such a game, they will at best just laugh and pass it by.

But what level of game is PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds?

In the field of FPS on Blue Star, it is almost epoch-making!

Ever since, the heat has completely exploded!

With an attitude that no one can stop anymore.

Soaring into the sky with great speed!

"A combined development model between the gaming field and the AI ​​field?" in a clean and bright conference room.

Just after a meeting, Chen Wenshu, the second-in-command of Zhidong Technology, stopped his boss Yuan Wencheng and briefly talked about his judgment on future development trends.

He believes that although the company now has in-depth cooperation with many aspects such as electronic information, medicine, transportation, social and humanities, etc.

But in the area of ​​virtual entertainment, there is still an unknown blue ocean to be explored.

Under the premise of a stable world structure, spiritual entertainment is also an important part of human survival.

Among them, the gaming field is developing rapidly, so it may be worth considering planning ahead.

But Yuan Wencheng refused without even thinking.

"The basic game base is still too small. The only games that can be called national games are Doudizhu, Mahjong, and chess. The room for expansion is limited, so there is no need to focus on such places."

"But Director Yuan..." Chen Wenshu wanted to say something more, but then he saw his boss waving his hand at him.

All he could do was ask for trouble and shrug: "Then I'll go first?"

"Yeah." As Yuan Wencheng agreed, he suddenly felt his phone vibrate a few times.

Take it out and take a look.

It happened to be a call from my daughter.

"Wai~ Daddy, you are so stupid."

"Speak nicely." Yuan Wencheng was so amused by his daughter that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Lao Deng, the appointment on the 15th has arrived!"

"15?...Oh!" Yuan Wencheng suddenly realized.

It turned out to be a bet made with Xiao Nizi a few days ago.

To be honest, he didn't even pay attention to this matter.

"Okay, dad hangs up the phone first and goes to take a look." After cutting off with a smile.

Yuan Wencheng opened the browser and switched to a casual sitting position.

He didn't think his daughter would win the bet.

Although Xiao Nizi took the initiative to call, it shows that she is somewhat sure.

However, the intelligent recommendation of browsers for middle-aged people is different from the intelligent recommendation of browsers for young people.

That's a huge difference.

I am originally in the field of AI and know it better than anyone else.

But, when he just opened the browser.

The expression on his face was stunned.

The front page headlines appeared before his eyes.

written clearly.

[Why does "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" make countless players so obsessed? 】

It is an article with pictures.

Yuan Wencheng subconsciously refreshed his mind again.

As a result, the new home page message is still about "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds"!

[A video will explain in detail the underlying logic behind PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds’ popularity in the gaming industry in less than a month! 】

Turn it over again!

Article 3.

still!

[The number one player of the company behind "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" and the chief creative designer Ke Jin, everything you want to know is here! 】

It wasn't until the fourth refresh that the most prominent position on the homepage was finally replaced with other recommended entries.

But Yuan Wencheng's expression was no longer as casual as before.

It would be okay if it was just once.

Three times in a row, and even when I barely paid attention to the gaming field...

This heat... was really beyond his imagination.

"Can a game really reach this level?" Yuan Wencheng was still doubtful.

I used my browser to search for the ins and outs of this period of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" and found a video.

After spending about 15 minutes patiently reading it.

Yuan Wencheng fell into deep thought.

In that video, the recent popularity of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" was introduced in detail.

Inside, he unexpectedly saw his baby daughter trying a live broadcast for the first time.

I’ve also seen countless players refer to her as the ‘first generation small clip’, which is confusing.

I saw the words of players who were complaining about injustice.

I also saw screenshots of players talking at length all night and discussing countermeasures.

And the ridiculous things that happened between players and the live broadcast platform.

They will be excited and shout out geniuses for a certain anchor’s whimsical live broadcast method.

After being banned from a certain live broadcast room, he would sigh sadly, "Oh, another brother died."

Yuan Wencheng couldn't help but start thinking.

What kind of power is it.

It can bring this group of players, who have never met each other before, together.

Even without asking for anything in return, they used their small individual strength to support the group, and eventually it was shaken to the point where even capital could not hold it down.

"The charm of the game...is it really so shocking?"

"As for this designer, the games he designed seem to be able to really unite people's hearts. How did he do it?" Yuan Wencheng thought carefully to no avail, so he decided to fulfill his promise to his daughter first.

He dialed the number of an old classmate of his who was a small leader in the Huaguang Bureau.

After some pleasantries, the matter was brought up.

The other side also quickly understood and agreed repeatedly.

After hanging up the phone.

Think about it.

Yuan Wencheng dialed another number.

"Wen Shu, come to the conference room and explain to me the concept of combining games and AI that you just proposed."

…

"Just two months! Can't you hold on for another two months??"

"When our online game "Cry Survival" is launched and completely reproduces the gameplay of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, what will happen even if he is released?"

"What a joke! No matter how hard a group of players operate, as long as you insist on not letting go! What can they do?"

"Hot? The heat will go down! Jedi Live Broadcasting has become a hot word among people outside the industry, but in one month or two months, how much more popular will it be?"

Network News, General Manager of Operations.

Lu Long held his cell phone and angrily confronted the senior management of the live broadcast platform. His calmness and demeanor had long since disappeared, leaving only hysteria with red neck.

The intention on the other end was to let him take back the order. Now that the situation has begun, the live broadcast platform is open to do business after all, not a unilateral toy of Netcom.

"Listen to me, they can't do anything, they are just a group of players! You just need to follow what I say..." Lu Long's words had not yet finished.

Suddenly, the landline on the desk rang.

He was stunned and walked to the landline.

As soon as I saw the dialed number, I woke up instantly.

Netcom Board of Directors!

Although Netcom Game has a high market value, it is only a branch of Netcom, a large Internet company.

Decisions on weekdays do not need to be reported to the headquarters, they can be decided upon by the senior management of these departments.

As long as there are no major problems, the board of directors will not even make half a call in a year.

After swallowing, Lu Long gingerly picked up the receiver.

Just like the two commands he sent from this landline when he made the decision to ban "Jedi".

This time, the board of directors also issued two orders to him through this landline phone.

1. Immediately lift the blockade on the entire live broadcast platform of "Jedi".

2. During Lu Long’s tenure as the general manager of Netcom game operations, major omissions occurred, which caused serious reputational and economic impacts to the company. After discussion, the board of directors unanimously decided to dismiss Mr. Lu Long and withdraw all his Netcom rewards. Share ownership and never hire again.

…

"Crack!"

The receiver in Lu Long's hand slipped and fell on the table with a crisp sound.

His whole body seemed to have suffered a huge blow, his face turned ashen and he slowly fell limply to the ground. The gold frame slid down to half of his face, and his eyes were dull and lifeless.

Lu Long couldn't understand it anyway.

I don't even know who my opponent is yet.

Why did he lose so badly?

————

"wdnmd! It's back! It's all back!"

On the day when all platforms of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" were unblocked, Eggplant logged on immediately, with an excited smile on his face: "It's so hard to hold back! I've been practicing my skills hard during this period, and today I'm going to show you what hard sniping is." !”

…

"Students, hold on tight, get ready to take off~"

In Da Sima's live broadcast room, a square-faced goose pulled his hands to his side and made a take-off gesture: "If I land on this wave, I will die. Whatever you say, thank you for the 'Break Da Sima apart' The plane! Thanks for breaking it open!"

…

Yinzi live broadcast room.

"Mao Ning Mao Ning... No, you all call me broadcast, I can't play with this thing... OK, OK, broadcast! Don't criticize me for a while."

…

Xiao Tuantuan live broadcast room.

"Leno Leno~Brother is cute! Get on the account and let's play!"

…

On the day after "Jedi" was unblocked, as if retaliating live broadcasts, the covers of countless live broadcast rooms, large and small, were replaced with pictures of PUBG.

The popularity of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" has also reached the highest value in FPS history today!

The NAA forum and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds section are more lively than the Chinese New Year.

For players, today is not just the day when "Jedi" returns.

It was also the first time in the history of Blue Star Games that individuals teamed up to fight against capital and won a great battle!

NetEx Game also released an announcement when "Jedi" was unblocked today.

I would like to apologize to all the players, to the Top Player Company, and to the designers of Kejinke.

It was claimed that the company had made a series of wrong decisions due to internal conflicts, and the punishment results were made public.

And we repeatedly promised that nothing like this would ever happen in the future.

This announcement was directly adopted by players in the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds section of the NAA forum and turned into section avatars, which they regarded as a treasure.

This is the first time in history that a giant manufacturer has issued an announcement to apologize and admit its mistakes! It should be preserved as a family heirloom and passed on to every future moderator.

The players gathered here don’t know what the future of the gaming industry will be like.

Players don’t know whether a similar situation will happen in the future.

Even if a similar situation occurs again, can they be united again?

No one can explain this clearly.

But one thing is for sure.

At least today, at least for now.

They have a brief period of freedom of choice.

No longer constrained by platforms and giant manufacturers, you can play whenever you want and broadcast whenever you want!

Countless players who had contributed money and efforts during this suspension incident have gathered here, and the /cheers emoji expressions are constantly being used in the real-time discussion group.

"To the first generation of the little clip!!"

“Here’s to Brother Zhang’s second generation!!”

"To Neko-sensei Sandaime!!"

"To all the players who have the courage to fight against capital in this battle!! My friends, you are all real heroes!!"

"Finally, I would like to send my most sincere blessings to our dear engraver!"

“I wish Ready Player One a prosperous career in the future!!!”

I will take up a little space from you and give you about 2 starting coins to summarize the plot. Because the author only allowed 500 words to be published, which was too much to fit in.

Except for the protagonist's reaction that has not yet been written, the rest of the plot is over.

This plot, from the initial announcement, to the game content, to the twists, to the player reactions, and finally to the ending of the story, is the largest part of this book so far, spanning about a dozen chapters, and the rhythm is very good. This part feels to be handled fairly well, and the proportions of each part are relatively balanced. I personally think that if there is any flaw, it may be that Gua Ge was released too early. If it were based on 'write the game content first, then suppress it, then players support it, and finally allow everyone to live broadcast, then write Gua Brother This sequence of performing a fairy costume ending may be more satisfactory. But now that I’ve written it all, I don’t have to worry about it so much.

In the past, some readers always said that I was short-sighted and ran away after writing two chapters of a game. The main reason was that the previous ones were all small games. I wrote about the core gameplay of the game, the players' reactions, and then the impact of the game, and finally turned around. If I poke a stick at the protagonist, there is actually nothing left to write. If I write more about the game, it may cause aesthetic fatigue. I still want to avoid aesthetic fatigue, and I have been working hard to do so. If aesthetic fatigue does occur in the future, I hope you won't give up the book in a hurry and wait and see. Maybe the inspiration just stopped at that time and you can come back when you come up with a cool idea for the next game.

Jump to author's words.

In fact, I really want to return the Cailiu stalks to Cailiu, so that the name change will be more justified.

However, considering that not many readers have played the game Cai 6, the sense of immersion may be a bit poor.

The second reason is that some readers have left messages saying that it is recommended not to write, and an author has been blocked after writing about Cai Liu.

Then... we can only let it live in the meme of "can play lottery six".

In fact, there are many interesting ways to play this meme. If you are interested, you can go to Station B to learn more.

In addition, the scale of subsequent game production will slowly begin to increase, and 3A will gradually begin to be interspersed. More and more high-quality games will appear, including some content derived from the game will gradually expand, and the content that can be written It’s still quite a lot. I personally predict that it will reach more than 2 million words. The number of subscriptions is relatively stable now, and there are no big fluctuations. You can rest assured to pursue it.

Finally, the AI ​​aspect is planned to be written in conjunction with the Metaverse, which is a higher level than virtual helmets and virtual cabins. My idea is that people can move around in a virtual city, and can visit each other and play games. , just go to the game experience center in the virtual city with your relatives and friends, and directly play a wave of virtual online game settings. For example: Resident Evil is a single-player game, but multi-player games can be realized in the metaverse. You When killing zombies, you can also see other players killing zombies in other locations in Raccoon City in real time. You can also go up to say hello to others and link up with them, giving you full freedom. However, these are basically content for the later stage and will not be touched for the time being.

Okay, the plot summary report is over, go to bed!
