Technological power starts with upgrading lenses

Even though the official released the news about the S1 season and the multi-million-dollar prize at the same time, this still cannot eliminate the anger of the players.

After all, most players can't even fly a plane. Even if they take out hundreds of millions in prizes, they don't think it has anything to do with them.

Los Angeles, FiberHome Network.

Faced with the unanimous condemnation from the players and seeing the data lost by players in the background of the system, Lu Huan's pressure suddenly increased.

Just now, he received a call from the industrial and commercial department asking what the matter was.

Apparently, some players actually called the consumer rights protection phone number and complained against them...

However, they are not afraid of complaining.

After all, it is normal for game versions to be updated and cause dissatisfaction among players.

It's just that "Battle in the Sky" is more extreme and special this time.

But no matter what, it cannot be said to be an 'infringement' of consumer rights.

So, refunding money is not possible.

But, what if "Battle in the Sky" is really going to be completely bad?

In fact, when the company first started to change the game, there was a lot of opposition and doubts.

But with the persistence of middle- and senior-level employees such as Meng Jie and Lu Huan, the update project was finally launched quickly.

They also know that doing this will definitely cause a large number of players to be dissatisfied and even quit the game en masse.

But when that day came, even if they had certain psychological expectations, it still made them stressed.

After all, if there are no players, the competition cannot be held or run well, and the real purpose of Mr. Kang's "screening of talents" will not be achieved.

"Director Lu, how about we change the game back?"

"no!"

Lu Huan immediately shook his head.

The person who said this was obviously the kind of junior employee who didn't know anything.

"The game can only be changed in this way. This matter can only be done by the publicity and distribution department to work harder and find a way to reverse the situation."

The pressure immediately fell on the Publicity and Development Department.

The publicity and development department of Fenghuo Network has always been relatively weak.

After all, a niche game like "Battle in the Sky" doesn't need any publicity at all, and spending money on publicity has limited effect.

Seeing everyone's slightly depressed atmosphere, Lu Huan was also a little helpless.

But at this time, Mr. Meng was busy dealing with the integration of the two companies, so he could only temporarily carry the banner.

I feel so stressed...

Shark live broadcast platform.

Cui Zhifeng started broadcasting as usual.

In the lower right corner of the live broadcast room, his luxurious peripherals are played.

Fire control, take-off and landing panels made in Chengdu, VPC T50 CM2 throttle, joystick, split-screen touch tablet based on Helios, button expansion Stream Deck XL based on DCS Interface, Track IR NP5 head sight...

This set of professional peripherals costs at least 70,000 to 80,000 yuan!

The game he live broadcast is "DCS World", which is a hard-core military aircraft flight simulator developed by Eagle Dynamics of Windmill Country. It has always been the No. 1 aircraft simulation game.

The simulation level of its game has even been recognized by the air forces of many countries, and it is directly used as ground training software for some types of aircraft.

It can be said that if you learn this game, you will at least have the theoretical basis for flying a real fighter jet.

If you do not consider whether your body can handle the food or not, and with a little training, it is indeed possible to fly a real fighter jet.

But this category is only a niche after all. There are few people who play it, and even fewer people who know how to play it.

Therefore, although the equipment is luxurious and the operation is professional, Cui Zhifeng's live broadcast room audience is very small.

Most of the people who came into his live broadcast room were initially attracted by the cover of the fighter jet and his professional peripherals.

Then after watching it for a while, I felt that I couldn’t understand it and the pace was slow, so I ran away.

I have been live broadcasting for more than a year and have only a few thousand fans.

But Cui Zhifeng didn't care at all.

He flies commercial airliners and does not make money from live broadcasts.

Live broadcasting "DCS World" is purely out of personal interest.

On the one hand, it is to share the experience and knowledge of flying airplanes with everyone.

On the other hand, it is also to make up for the regret of not passing the rigorous selection of Air Force pilots and flying a fighter jet because of poor physical fitness.

"Today I'm going to teach you how to use sideslip to reduce height. Some people also call it sideslip to slow down. First we have to drain all the oil..."

Cui Zhifeng drove a propeller trainer aircraft and started his daily "little tricks", and then switched to a fighter jet and started taking off and landing on an aircraft carrier.

[Anchor, you are so good at flying a plane, you can check out the official website of "Battle in the Sky". They seem to be holding a competition recently, and the prize money is quite high]

At this moment, a barrage caught Cui Zhifeng's attention.

The main reason is that he turned on the barrage reporting function, and netizens' barrages will be read directly.

"Battle in the Sky"?

Have a competition?

Cui Zhifeng's first reaction was that this must be a marketing method by game manufacturers.

Although the game's image quality and physical simulation do feel somewhat in line with "DCS World\

,"But in terms of operation, it can be played with hands.

Therefore, what it tests is not the actual skill of flying a plane at all, but the same as ordinary competitive online games. It tests reaction and operation, and then a little bit of tactical strategy.

But in this regard, Cui Zhifeng actually does not have an advantage.

"I only played "Battle in the Clouds" when the server was first launched. I feel that it is not my cup of tea. I probably won't be able to compete in the game."

He only answered the fans in a perfunctory manner.

But although he didn't care, the audience began to discuss the matter intensely, and it became more and more intense.

It was through their discussion that Cui Zhifeng found out that "Battle in the Sky" had been updated to a major version, which greatly increased the difficulty of the game.

Moreover, the prize money for the winner of that so-called competition is as high as three million!

Hearing this number, even Cui Zhifeng, who has an annual salary of 600,000, couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Originally, he thought that the bonus mentioned by the audience just now was quite high, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

The result was a full three million!

"Is it true? The annual profit of "Battle in the Sky" should only be a few million, right? How could they be willing to spend so much money for a competition?"

Cui Zhifeng immediately paused the game and searched the official website of "Battle in the Sky".

When he saw the big banner on top, he finally believed that the fans had not deceived him!

Moreover, the original 10V10 game mode of "Battle in the Sky" has now been changed to 5V5.

It means that the prize of 3 million is shared by only 5 people.

If you can win the championship, the prize money everyone can share is 600,000!

It's really tempting...

The key is that not only do they have high bonuses for the championship, but the bonuses for the runner-up and third place are also not low at all.

As long as the team is in the top ten and an individual is in the top 50, there will be bonuses!

There are not many players in this kind of niche game, so the competition is relatively less fierce, so maybe it's really a bit of a stir.

He read the competition rules carefully again.

The previous auditions were conducted online.

And the time is very tight, it will start in 10 days.

After reaching the 100-to-50 stage, the offline competition will be held in Los Angeles.

The championship will be determined directly after three consecutive days of competition.

Different from the insanely long schedule of the LOL League, the schedule of "Battle in the Sky" is very tight and does not look like a commercial game at all.

The official explanation for this is: use a grand event to give back to users.

This reason is barely justified.

But Cui Zhifeng believes that this is definitely a commercial hype on their part, or a marketing gamble.

But I have to say, it does have some effect...

At least, it did arouse Cui Zhifeng's great interest.
