Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

Hangcheng University of Electronic Science and Technology, in the girls’ dormitory.

Lu Yangyang, who had previously become a hot search topic through the topic of people nearby, was now lying on the bed out of boredom, tossing and turning, and complained to his roommate sitting across from him at the desk: "The function of people nearby is really poisonous, it's like digging for gold in shit.

It’s rare to meet a normal man.”

"You have this free time, why not play games for fun." Her roommate was playing games while pressing the screen of his mobile phone without raising his head. "Stop thinking about men all the time. If you really fall in love, you will only feel bored."

"That's because you've found it!" Lu Yangyang was a little irritated. He leaned on the railing and looked down. He saw his roommate clicking frantically on his phone, not knowing what he was doing. "What are you playing with?"

"Rhythm King." The roommate responded, "You can play the new games on WeChat."

"Are there new games?" Lu Yangyang curiously clicked on WeChat, found the game center, and successfully saw the four new games on it.

Three of them are free mobile games self-developed by Tianshu Games, namely the audio game "Rhythm King", the tower defense game "Guard Carrot", and the female-oriented dress-up mobile game "Junjiu Dress Up Diary".

The remaining one is "Collapse Campus" produced by Mihuyou.

Lu Yangyang clicked on one of the titles out of curiosity, and first downloaded "The King of Rhythm", and by the way also clicked on the pre-download of "Guardian Carrot" and "Junjiu Dress Up Diary".

"There is also a dress-up game? Is it real or fake?" Lu Yangyang looked at the introduction of "Junjiu Dress Up Diary". She, who usually likes to play with clothes, suddenly became a little jealous, "This Junjiu Dress Up Diary"

Have you ever played with Diary?"

"Not yet, I've been playing Rhythm King all morning."

"Then I'll play this first." Lu Yangyang happily canceled the download of "Rhythm King" and downloaded "Junjiu Dress Up Diary" first.

While waiting, she curiously clicked on the fourth game. As she was about to click on the pre-download, she got a prompt that she needed to pay.

"What the hell? Why did you have to pay for this collapsed campus?"

"This is a buyout system, right?" The roommate obviously understood better and explained, "After you spend money to buy it, you don't have to spend money to buy the game content inside."

"Six dollars, that's two breakfasts." Lu Yangyang was used to whoring, and when he saw the price, he immediately hesitated and took a tentative look at the game's introduction——

[Ah? Onii-chan, are you reading the text introduction? (￣.￣)+ Hey, this text is so good!

!]

[Hurry up and download it, it’s free anyway. If you don’t download it and read more introductions, there’s no way to sign a contract with the Lun family, blah blah blah~~~~(￣.￣)”]

[Must read it? Zhensu can’t stand you anymore... Well~ Hao Bo, the introduction is... (._.) This is a game where cute girls fight zombie girls~~~ (￣∀￣) Introduction is complete

!]

【……】

After reading a few paragraphs of the introductory text, Lu Yangyang suddenly felt a chill and instantly retreated. "With an expression of indescribable shock and shame on his face, he shouted: "What the hell is this game?! The introduction is poisonous!"

"What?" The roommate below looked strange, "What did you say?"

"Didn't you watch that game that requires payment? That introduction is simply outrageous!" Lu Yangyang rubbed his arm again and again before he could barely suppress his disgust and resistance, "Who does it take to come up with this introduction?

…”

My roommate just finished playing Rhythm King, and with curiosity, he also went to read the introduction to "Collapse Campus".

After reading it, she was silent for a long time, and then slowly exhaled: "This smells really strong. It looks like it was written by a two-dimensional girl?"

"It doesn't matter who wrote it, it's not my cup of tea anyway." Lu Yangyang shook his head repeatedly, "The games produced by Tianshu are all very fun, why did you suddenly get into something like this as if you were having a seizure?"

"It shouldn't be from Tianshu." The roommate looked at it carefully and said, "Look at what's written above. The producer is called Mihuyou Studio. It seems like it was posted by another company through the WeChat platform."

"No wonder." Lu Yangyang suddenly realized it and immediately put the game behind him, "Then I won't play it anymore. It's not made by Tianshu, and the quality is probably not that good."

"You can play with it and watch." Her roommate did not forget to tease her, "After you play with it and complain about it, maybe it will become a hot search again."

"Don't mention this." As soon as he mentioned this, Lu Yangyang immediately complained, "I just read an article related to this recently. It seems that I was used by the navy before. It's disgusting.

"

The roommate was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"

"Didn't you see?" Lu Yangyang sat up from the bed, crossed his legs and analyzed his roommate seriously, "I was quite happy when it first became a hot search, but then after reading other people's analysis, I

Only then did I realize there was something fishy about this.”

"How to say?"

"At that time, hundreds of people were denouncing the function of nearby people in my comments, and within half a day, hundreds of people appeared." Lu Yangyang said seriously, "Just think, I am just an ordinary Weibo user, why did all of a sudden suddenly

Why do so many people come to comment? And the popularity is getting higher and higher, and it has turned into shouting and killing against WeChat."

Hearing this, my roommate also came over suddenly, "Oh~ you mean someone used your remarks to create a public opinion that everyone hates WeChat, and then?"

"Then we can suppress WeChat!" Lu Yangyang became excited. He was annoyed when he thought of being used like this. "QQ is shameless. Once I get all my classmates, friends and relatives to WeChat, I will uninstall it directly."

Got it!"

"Uh..." The roommate didn't expect her to react so strongly, and couldn't help laughing, "That's not the case, functionally speaking, QQ is relatively complete, and how do you know it was QQ that did this?"

"Who else could it be?" Lu Yangyang pointed, "When this kind of thing comes out, think about who will benefit the most after WeChat is suppressed, then who will be the biggest suspect."

"WeChat is developing so well now, and QQ is the most threatened one. If it doesn't suppress it, who will suppress it?"

"And don't you know? WeChat was originally going to be acquired by Alibaba, but Tencent immediately stepped in, raised the acquisition price, and also said it would acquire WeChat."

"It's just that you are disgusting."

The roommate looked surprised at this time. He usually didn't pay much attention to this. When Lu Yangyang said it, his eyes were opened: "That's indeed a bit too much."

[Recommended, Yeguo Reading is really easy to use. Download it here www. Come and try it. 】

"Yeah, right." After Lu Yangyang got the approval from his roommate, he seemed to let out a bad breath, "If you ask me, WeChat can just join Alibaba, catch up with QQ, and step on Tencent!"

"Isn't Ali just like that?" The roommate couldn't help but laugh, "Why didn't you say that WeChat didn't join either one, and that you would step on both of them if you rose up?"

"Hahaha~" Lu Yangyang laughed out loud when he heard this, "How is that possible? You are thinking too much."

…

On December 20th, WeChat Game Center launched four new games.

In the following more than a week, "Rhythm King" and "Guard Carrot" started a crazy upward trend. With the huge traffic of WeChat and promotion through other channels, they quickly exceeded 5 million downloads.

In contrast, "Junjiu Dress Up Diary" has experienced a slightly slower growth due to the audience. However, with the careful production of Xu Niannian and Yu Youjia, the exquisite costumes and the gameplay that can be matched at will have attracted a lot of attention.

A lot of players.

By the end of the month, "Junjiu Dress Up Diary" had exceeded one million downloads, arousing considerable popularity among girls.

Even many boys have succumbed to the pomegranate dress of the heroine "Junjiu" and become male mothers, matching their new daughters' clothes one after another.

The only one that is more miserable is probably "The Collapse of the Campus".

The first is the buyout system, which directly dissuades the vast majority of players who are accustomed to free mobile games.

Secondly, even if some people believe in Tianshu Games, most people will not click on it after seeing that this game is not produced by Tianshu itself and has such a shameful introduction.

So much so that in the week after it was released, "Collapse Campus" only sold about a few hundred copies through the WeChat Game Center channel.

The sales amounted to about several thousand yuan, and what was finally distributed to Mihuyou was probably not even enough for one person’s salary.

On the App Store, because I applied for a recommendation slot in advance and the ecosystem of Pineapple Phone has a slightly better payment concept, "Broken Campus" managed to sell about 2,000 copies, which is a profit of 7,000 to 8,000.

Calculated this way, in one week, approximately 10,000 yuan will be accounted for.

Fortunately, Mi Huyou used Xu Xing's relationship to hook up with Bizhan.

After spending a lot of money on promotion and publicity on Bizhan, "Collapse Campus" sold about 3,000 copies in one week.

Based on this calculation, Mihuyou’s income in the first week was probably more than 20,000 yuan.

If calculated in this way, the first month's income may exceed 100,000.

Excluding the necessary labor costs and other expenses every month, I can probably still have a balance of 40,000 to 50,000 yuan, which can be considered the first step in taking the studio.

But sales volume does sometimes depend on luck.

At present, it seems to be acceptable, but compared with the Tianshu game next door, Mihuyou Studio is still a bit tasteful, and I begin to feel that there is a gap.

"If we had chosen the free path, could we have been like "Rhythm King" and "Guard Carrot"?"

In the Mihuyou studio, Liu Wei said with a little envy and a little regret after seeing the data shared by Tianshu Games.

"Don't think too much about the decision you've already made." Cai Haoyu's belief is obviously stronger, but after seeing the success of Tianshu Games, he still recognizes some realities, "Domestic mobile games,

I probably have to take the free route."

"So?" Liu Wei asked curiously, "What are your plans?"

"Let's keep upping the follow-up optimization and updates of "Collapse Campus" first." Cai Haoyu took a deep breath, "Let's sum up our experiences and lessons and strive to make enough progress before making the next game."

…

"Why do you want me to download this?"

On weekends, the living room of a shared house.

Xu Xing was sitting on the sofa, with Xu Niannian and Yan Chijuan on his left and right.

The mobile phone in my hand has just finished downloading "Junjiu Dress Up Diary" and is entering the loading page.

"Hey, hey, your sister and I are the first to lead the production of a game. How dare you not play it?" Xu Niannian seemed to have forgotten about the previous birthday night, and hooked his shoulder without mind, "Quickly

Hurry up, Junjiu is waiting for you."

Xu Xing: "..."

When he thought that the heroine's name was taken from the QQ nickname of his previous female account, he was a little speechless and had no intention of having fun.

But unable to withstand the threats of Xu Niannian and Yan Chiju, he had to download it himself and try it out.

Before this game came out, he had actually seen a practical demonstration in the company and was very familiar with the gameplay.

But when the game entered the novice guide and "Jun Jiu'er", whose figure combined the advantages of Xu Niannian and Yan Chijuan, appeared on the screen and greeted him with a smile, Xu Xing was still a little unable to hold back.

"How about we change the game to play?"

"No, why don't you go through the novice tutorial first and get the first set of clothes?" Xu Niannian urged.

"It's very simple." Yan Chijiu encouraged from the side, "And the clothes inside are all elements that Sister Niannian and the others magically modified based on real clothes. They are super beautiful."

The game "Jun Jiu'er Dress Up Diary" is actually very simple to play. The theme is Jun Jiu'er, a fledgling designer who has just graduated from college. In order to make the first costume in his life, he embarks on a journey across the country.

Everywhere she goes, she will encounter some stories. In the end, she needs to collect local clothing elements and put together a suit that can defeat her opponents.

As for how to defeat?

It mainly depends on the evaluation score of the package.

From top to bottom, they are hats, hair accessories, earrings, neck accessories, tops, hand accessories, culottes, leg accessories, shoes...

Each part will have a corresponding score, and when combined together, a score for the overall set will be obtained.

After these scores are added together, as long as you can get higher than your opponent, you can get the corresponding reward and successfully complete the level.

But if you want to pass the level perfectly and get all the rewards, you have to carefully follow the guidance in the plot and make reasonable combinations to achieve the perfect score.

Xu Xing is not too fond of dress-up mobile games, but he still has the ability to appreciate them.

Xu Niannian and Yu Youjia are indeed high-quality designers who have the ability to open their own studios, and their abilities in art are truly unparalleled.

What limits their performance is the performance of the mobile phone itself.

"So these clothes are not available in reality?" After Xu Xing completed the novice tutorial, he clicked on the [Wardrobe] page, looked at the list of [Unobtained], and saw a series of various clothes, all of which were still gray.

You need to wait for him to unlock one by one.

"It's not completely impossible. Most of them can still find corresponding clothing, but there will be some differences in details." Xu Niannian waved his hand and explained, "Purely original creations are too thankless. They are all minimally invasive on the original structure.

It’s just new.”

"That's pretty awesome." Xu Xing rubbed his chin and thought, "Let it ferment among the players for a few months. We can talk to my parents at the end of the year."

"They can already design and produce their own clothes. When the time comes for the two parties to cooperate in activities, they can completely promote the clothes you designed in the game."

When Xu Niannian heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "This is good! I'll ask my aunt and them to help me make some samples first. Then I and I can wear them and see through them~"

Hearing what she said, Xu Xing couldn't help but feel excited.

"Okay, let's settle it first." Xu Xing naturally turned off the game on his phone, and then changed the subject, "I'm going to see Aunt Pei tomorrow on New Year's Day to talk about something. Your company is on holiday and you can go and play by yourself.
