Play Game of Life

The North Gate of Jinghai University, Xinglu Internet Cafe.

"Welcome! There is an event for recharging today, recharge 300 and get 100 free, and there are exclusive benefits for "You in Eyes" and "Ordinary Life"!

"Yes, there is a VR experience area, just walk inside.

"welcome!"

Lu Mingyuan greeted customers outside the store, distributed small gifts, and was very busy.

His bald hairline was beaded with sweat, but there was a smile on his face, and even the creases were about to burst into laughter.

Have you ever seen such a scene?

Let alone your own Internet cafe, any store on this street has never held such a big battle before?

After the official release of "Ordinary Life", the traffic of Internet cafes has skyrocketed, and the Internet cafes that were originally crowded have become crowded. This is of course inseparable from a series of offline activities arranged by Lu Zhixing himself.

He spent money to buy more than a dozen VR game helmets, and divided several private rooms on the first floor of the Internet cafe into a VR game experience area, allowing players to experience "Ordinary Life" here.

Of course, his current funds are limited, so VR headsets cannot be purchased on a large scale. However, the current quantity is enough for experience only.

All the computers in the Internet cafe are installed with "You in Eyes", and the big TV at the entrance of the Internet cafe is playing the promotional videos of these two games in a loop.

As long as players come to the Internet cafe, regardless of whether they have experienced the game or not, they can get an activation code. With this activation code, they can exchange for an exclusive T-shirt in the "Ordinary Life" game.

And if the player experiences "Ordinary Life" in the Internet cafe, he can get double rewards when he goes to work in the Xinglu Internet cafe in the game.

In addition, there are also some regular promotional activities, such as free game time for recharging in Internet cafes, and participation in lucky draws. The highest prizes are the fifth-generation VR game helmet and the game "Ordinary Life".

This time, Studio 404 also came together, and Lu Zhixing brought Liu Bo, Lu Yixiao, and Zhao Haoyan to the Internet Cafe to help.

Now these three are celebrities, especially Liu Bo. After he became popular for no reason, people often ask him to sign his autograph when walking in the school.

Many people come to Internet cafes because of the name of "three idiots at the welcome party", oh no, "404 four heavenly kings".

In addition, there are also many people who just want to come to Xinglu Internet Cafe to make a card.

Although this Internet cafe is not well-known in reality, it is very famous in "Ordinary Life" because it is the only Internet cafe in the entire game!

As an important part-time job location and an important place for entertainment activities, Xinglu Internet Cafe plays a very important role in the game. Many players in Jinghai naturally thought of the real Xinglu Internet Cafe to take a look.

The superimposition of various factors caused the traffic of Xinglu Internet Cafe to skyrocket, and the popularity completely crushed all the surrounding shops!

Lu Mingyuan couldn't help feeling: My brother is really amazing!

Recalling that not long ago, he was still so annoyed by the management of the Internet cafe that he couldn't sleep all night, and he couldn't negotiate cooperation with several game companies, and he was at a loss.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhixing personally made two games, which revitalized the Internet cafe in an instant!

How else can knowledge change destiny?

...

On the other side, Duan Lin, the owner of the Internet cafe chain, was in stark contrast to Lu Mingyuan.

His expression can only be described in two words, that is stiff!

So far, the activities of "High School Show" have already started, but except for some die-hard fans of the "High School Show" who came to collect some benefits and then left, the popularity cannot be compared with Xinglu Internet Cafe!

Originally, Duan Lin thought that he had the chance to win, but in order to cooperate with the "High School Show" activities, it can be said that he bleeds a lot, hiring college students to distribute leaflets, and preparing various small gifts.

As a result, a lot of wool was squeezed, but the passenger flow did not increase significantly.

This is too much to be reconciled to!

At present, "High School Show" is the number one seller in the official topic, and the evaluation is also "mostly positive". There is no big problem with the performance of the game itself.

And the "High School Show" variety show is also very popular now. Yesterday, the shortlist of the top 20 contestants and the number of votes were announced, and they bought several hot searches one after another, and the popularity is the highest on the entire Internet.

But offline activities just can't be done, so what's the point of this!

Duan Lin looked at Wei Qicheng with some resentment: "Mr. Wei, it is absolutely impossible for Lu Zhixing to participate in this special event..."

In fact, if Xinglu Internet Cafe did not have these activities arranged by Lu Zhixing, it would be impossible to steal so many customer traffic, and the offline activities of "High School Show" would not be so miserable.

Wei Qiben wanted to make a time difference, so he took advantage of Lu Zhixing's game and didn't have time to participate in the event, so he took the first step to grab all the heat, but he never expected that he was right on the gun!

And Lu Zhixing's "Ordinary Life" is so popular!

Although as a buyout game, the sales volume of "Ordinary Life" is temporarily inferior to "High School Show", which has krypton gold card draws and impulsive consumption by fans, but it can be evaluated and the popularity is completely surpassed.

Wei Qicheng's face was sullen, and he couldn't hold back his face at this time.

That's right, it's impossible for Lu Zhixing to participate in this event in time...

As a game developer, he is well aware of the size of the game and the corresponding development progress.

Wei Qicheng was also puzzled, how did Lu Zhixing develop such a huge game in such a short period of time? Or use the latest technology? Could it be that the second research team provided him with help unknown to the outside world?

Who is this kid? It can't be the long-lost son of Team Leader Zhou, can it?

But no matter what, the offline activities of "High School Show" have encountered a huge crisis. If nothing is done, according to the current development trend, the popularity of "Ordinary Life" will inevitably become higher and higher, and sooner or later it will completely crush " High School Show!

At that time, Wei Qicheng's life will not be easy.

Capital is very fancy about returns, and often does whatever it takes for traffic and popularity. Why do certain traffic movies insist on keeping the top box office even if they spend money to buy box office and buy navy?

It is because they cannot compete with real high-quality movies in any other respects, so they must use this brush to maintain the false prosperity on the surface. Once the bubble is burst, it will be ruthlessly abandoned by capital.

Although "High School Show" is a program under Changteng Entertainment, it cannot escape the curse.

But compared to Duan Lin, Wei Qicheng is a person who has seen the world after all.

"What are you panicking about! Do you think I don't have an emergency plan?"

Duan Lin seemed to grasp the life-saving straw in an instant: "There is still an emergency plan? Mr. Wei, tell me quickly! What should we do?"

Wei Qicheng lowered his voice: "At this point, it's useless to talk too much. We can only tear our face apart and fight to the death!

"Let's cooperate and make two-handed preparations!

"You are offline, fighting a price war with Xinglu Internet Cafe, lowering the price to attract people!"

Duan Lin wondered: "Price war? What's the use of this? The root of the problem lies in the game!"

Wei Qicheng explained in a low voice: "Your offline activities are mainly to distract the Xinglu Internet Cafe, understand? If they focus on you, they won't notice me.

"I'll go to the company immediately to fight for resources and buy a navy! This kid, we got scolded a lot for our program because of "Undercover Trainee" before, and we haven't settled the old score for him yet!"

Duan Lin was startled: "President Wei, this is not very good!

"That kid is now a member of the second research team. Didn't you see that Mr. Wang was very polite to him before? Would it be dangerous for us to find the navy to attack him?"

Wei Qicheng chuckled: "Dangerous? What danger could there be?

"Our water army is professional, who knows we did it? Is there any evidence? Don't worry, it's not the first time our column team has done this kind of thing.

"Although the official research team has a great status in the game circle, it is a relatively loose organization after all. They are good at doing research, but they are also powerless against the Shangshui Army.

"Before, I thought that the research team could help out, so I was polite to them. But if I really stand on the opposite side, I may not be afraid of them!

"In short, I am very experienced in dealing with this kind of thing, you just fight the price war, and leave the rest to me!"

Seeing Wei Qicheng's confident expression, Duan Lin could only nod his head: "Okay, then I'll go prepare for the price reduction..."

Duan Lin vaguely felt that there was a risk in this matter, but he couldn't tell where the risk was.

Wei Qicheng was right. It was not the first time Changteng Entertainment had done such a thing as buying a navy, and indeed no company could catch them.

So what if many netizens can see it? After all, there is no evidence.

What's more, Duan Lin has no other choice. The investment in the previous activities has become a sunk cost, and he is really unwilling to find a way to recover it.

If "High School Show" really failed, what would happen to his Internet cafe?

When he decided to embrace the thigh of "High School Show", the interests of both parties have been deeply bound, and now there is only one way to go to the dark.
