The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games

  Chapter 182 180. The happiness of the rich, you don’t understand

  Before "Audition" appeared, Internet cafes used to be a world of people, that is, old buddies playing MMORPG led by "Three Kingdoms Online".

  They often regard "Three Kingdoms Online" as another battlefield in their lives.

  【Conquest of Miaowen】

  【Country wars and feuds】

  【Fuck Me Woman】

  【Fire Slaughter City】!

  The old buddies of Three Kingdoms online are very grumpy, and women are cherished animals in the game.

  The theme of the game will always revolve around "equipment", "national war", "robbing women", "brothers", "slaughtering the city", and "cutting people".

  The most popular topic is not who has exploded the Tiangang flames again today, or it will be an appointment in Chibi tomorrow.

   sounds both passionate and impulsive, full of endless pride and killing.

   is like a midnight carnival of straight men.

  But, all of this has changed with the advent of Audition, and this change comes silently.

  The biggest changes brought about by changes are:

  The old friends of the Three Kingdoms who have spent many years in Internet cafes suddenly discovered after a certain overnight--

  All the space keys in the Internet cafe were broken.

   "My Nima! Who did this?"

   "Who broke the space bar?"

   "I went to school just once and didn't come for a week. How come the machines in the Internet cafe were ruined like this?"

Wang Zexu was very angry. As a high school student, he went to the Feiyu Internet cafe next door every weekend for a night and overnight to play Three Kingdoms online. It was the happiest day of his life. But when he came in and changed 3 machines, there was no space bar on the keyboard. OK.

  The owner of the Internet cafe did not speak either, just raised his chin.

  Wang Zexu followed his instructions, and saw that among the 8 machines still open in the Internet cafe, 4 machines were playing Audition, 3 machines were playing Three Kingdoms online, and one machine was hanging up "Stone Age".

  The most disgusting thing is——

  Even if there are 4 people, they can play a symphony orchestra level by playing Audition.

  Papa Papa I am afraid of Papa Papa...

  Audition players tapped the keyboard rhythmically.

  One of the older brothers put his feet on the table, he was lying in the chair with a cigarette in the corner of his mouth, the keyboard was on his lap, lying on his side, smoking while tapping the keyboard.

   Correspondingly, the large back head display is also sideways.

  Not only was the smoker’s monitor sideways, Wang Zexu was surprised to find that--

  Most of the machines in the Internet cafes are sideways like this, maintaining a subtle angle with the connection between the desk and the chair.

"this……"

  Wang Zexu felt very uncomfortable, and his voice was so noisy that people's brains hurt.

   "So these people who were playing this dance game broke the space bar?" Wang Zexu asked in a low voice.

  The boss shook his head quickly, indicating that he could not afford to offend.

  If a week ago, the biggest income of Internet cafes came from players who played Three Kingdoms online, then their income now comes from players who play Audition.

  This group of players don’t know what the devil is, as soon as they get on the machine, they stay overnight.

  Don’t look at Audition, it only takes 3 or 4 minutes, but players are not tired of it. This game does not need to point cards, just play as long as you want.

  So now, it looks like the Internet cafes have been taken over by Audition players overnight.

  "What do you look at?" Jin Wu rolled his left sleeve to his shoulder, showing off his fat triceps, "Do you need the space bar for the Three Kingdoms online?"

   "What am I..."

  Wang Zexu was taken aback, as if he really didn’t need it.

  Three Kingdoms online, unlike the online version of Marvel MU or Jianxia Qingyuan, you need to hold down the space bar to jump or fly. This Nima is a human war game that walks close to the ground.

  ……

  Audition’s influence is not very good, mainly because these players seem to be relatively high-profile, even if they don’t talk, they smoke and dance, but the keyboard snaps.

  Internet cafes often hear the sound of "popping" from all directions.

  Of course, this "snack" is not the kind of slap, but the sound of Audition players knocking on the space.

As the largest key on the keyboard,    is also a key that must be used in games. The space bar in Internet cafes is often overwhelmed and stuck forever.

  Jianwang and Marvel MU players hate Audition players.

  In other words, in addition to the players of Audition, other players hate the players of Audition.

  Playing Red Alert, CS, and StarCraft are all annoying Audition players.

  Because the music in the game is very exciting, they often have a strong sense of substitution, as if they are the characters in the game, so when they press the space, they are also so chic, how hard they are.

  Over time, other players in the Internet cafe can no longer stand it.

  On the one hand, the noise they make is really terrifying, affecting others to play games;

  On the other hand, they often break the space bar, making it impossible for others to play, which is very hateful.

   However, where there is oppression, there is resistance. In order to prevent Audition players from influencing others, even the Internet cafe space bar thief appeared.

  They cut out all the space keys that they can pull out, just to prevent Audition players from being able to continue playing in this Internet cafe. Although they may also be affected by their ability to play, they can't care about that much.

  This is called hurting the enemy one thousand and self-harming eight hundred.

  You can often hear the voice of the player scolding his mother in the Internet cafe:

   "Fuck, which grandson deducted the space bar?"

  "This Nima, there is no space bar, we can't play, can you play Nima?"

  Other players said they don’t care:

  Come and hurt each other.

  As long as Jinwu Dog can't play, I can be happy.

  However, Audition players do not admit defeat. In order to prevent the space bar in the keyboard from being deducted, the higher-level players basically bring their own keyboard to play, which can be called high play.

  The keyboard battle is fought between Audition players and other game players.

  ……

  Someone once suggested to Bomi’s boss to add wings and flight systems to the Three Kingdoms online, but they were all rejected by the double-day silly fork.

  Bomi boss’s answer is——

  We are a Three Kingdoms game. We must ensure that the original intention of the game remains unchanged.

  If wings and flying are added, the overall atmosphere of the game will be destroyed.

  For this matter, the official website of the Three Kingdoms online also launched a scolding war between players. In the end, because Bomi insisted not to make wings, this matter would not stop.

   But the benefits are also obvious-

  When Audition swept the Internet cafes, Three Kingdoms Online became the most comfortable game because it did not need to use the space bar in the operation.

  This makes online players can’t help but wonder--

   [First launched the Three Kingdoms online, then killed it without flying system, and no jumping function, and then made a "Audition" out to destroy the space bar, Cao Boss combo punch is really wonderful! 】

  【The depth of Boss Cao’s layout and the far-reaching plans are far beyond what I can expect. 】

  【It’s amazing. When I started the Three Kingdoms online, I thought of it. Today, those game manufacturers who made the space bar into a skill button in the game are probably crying in the toilet, right? 】

[How to put it, I can only say that Boss Cao is too ridiculous. A Audition directly used the space bar of an entire Internet cafe. This is also unexpected. You said that Xishanju pushed the jumping and flying system. At that time, they probably never thought that a game called "Audition" would become a space bar killer in the future! 】

  【It doesn’t matter, I think it’s enough to change the button, but the big deal is that it doesn’t work well. 】

  【Hahaha, I hope Audition will never release the in-game modification function, otherwise you will only see a keyless keyboard when you go to Internet cafes in the future. 】

  【No key is better than a key, the key person uses no key. 】

  【Fuck, the upstairs is really talented, I'm eating noodles and spraying it for you. 】

  ……

The popularity of Audition has completely exceeded the expectations of all game companies. Even Bomi's own operating department did not expect it to be so popular.

  More than half of the machines in an Internet cafe are playing Audition, and the number of players is still growing rapidly.

  Audition’s 1.3 million activation codes were all released on the first day of its service, 760,000 players poured in, and the activation rate was as high as 60%.

  From the perspective of operations, this fanaticism is likely not from Audition, but from Bomi’s own word-of-mouth effect. Since the player has bought the activation code, there is no reason not to use it.

  So the data on the first day has no reference meaning, it depends on the subsequent retention effect.

  In fact, the retention rate is quite amazing.

  The number of retained players on the second day was as high as 350,000, with a retention rate of 46%.

  In the gaming industry, a retention rate of more than 40% the next day is already a terrible figure.

  Then a week later, the number of simultaneous online players gradually increased from 100,000 to 220,000 at the beginning, and this trend is still rising.

  Colleagues in the operation department are all stupid. They have never seen such an exaggerated retention rate and new additions. Following this momentum, I feel that it will be a matter of time before the number of online users breaks through the Three Kingdoms.

  ……

  Wang Hanyang’s hunch is right. In January, most of the machines in the Internet cafe were playing Audition, and the number of people online at Audition exceeded 700,000 at the same time.

  This is an exaggerated figure, which means that Audition’s number of players has surpassed the Three Kingdoms online, and it has officially become the game with the largest number of players in the current domestic online games.

  It is not too much to say that it is the overlord.

  Audition can be said to be a heavy casual online game.

  Leisure is because Audition does not require players to stay online at all times like other games. The higher the online duration of the president, the higher the profit, which depends on the player's reaction speed.

And a piece of music only lasts 3 to 4 minutes, which is very fragmented. Although you may not be able to free up 2 hours to fight a group fight in the Three Kingdoms online, you can completely spend 3 to 4 minutes. Play a hearty fighting dance game in Audition.

  However, Audition is also very heavy. It is heavily social. Many players play Audition instead of dancing. Instead, they play [Dancing with People]. As long as there are friends, they can continue to play endlessly.

  Especially when the fighting dance fails, I think about it again, and if I win, I will leave.

  It feels a bit like the future Dota wins and wins the night.

  And in the Audition game, making friends, dating, pk, scolding... all are not less than the large mmo.

  Although it's just a simple QTE, because the test is the reaction speed of the players, they play a competitive feeling.

  【Grass and mud horse! Who **** my wife yesterday? 】

  【Have the ability to challenge me one-on-one! 】

  【Come on, who is afraid of who? ! Who asked your wife to **** my wife yesterday? 】

  【Good job, I will kill you today! 】

  There are a lot of players who shout in the channel like this every day to fight and dance.

  Audition’s small and big horns are the best selling props.

  Small speakers are almost broadcast by everyone in a small channel, and big speakers can be seen by everyone on the entire server.

  A small speaker costs 3 cents apiece, and a large speaker costs 1 RMB apiece.

  So trumpeting has become a symbol of the rich again.

  Many Audition players spent sleepless nights and sleeplessly practiced 8, practiced counters, practiced dance steps, practiced freedom, gathered all the dance steps, typed them out one step at a time, and then proofread them. At that time, the audition dance and the youth of the players were intertwined and could not be separated.

  It is precisely because Audition is a free game that is not charged for time, so players don’t have to worry about being forced to go offline because of insufficient points. They only need to spend a night in the Internet cafe for ten dollars to play a whole night.

  So in terms of time, Audition is another very heavy game.

  In terms of operation, Audition seems to only need a simple QTE, but in fact it requires a very high level of player response.

  There is a measure of difficulty for songs in Audition, which is called BPM.

The abbreviation of   BeatPerMinute, the Chinese name is the number of beats, which means the unit of beats per minute.

  The faster the rhythm of the song, the more beats per minute, the more dense the beats per minute, the faster the speed, and the higher the player’s response.

  Bomi’s audition, the most difficult song is Zou Jielun’s "Nunkaku" with a BPM of 190.

  This is already a very limit, maybe it will be 200+ in the future

  Novices generally struggle to play below 110. If you exceed 180, you will find that those fingers can already bring out the afterimage.

  In addition to BPM, Audition has other more perverted ways to play, such as:

  Reverse, the so-called reverse key means to reverse it, for example ←, ​​then you have to press →.

  The anti-key can be 2000 points more than normal sending.

  The strongest player at the moment can play up to reverse 6, which means that the 6 keys in a row of commands are reversed.

  How anti-human setting is this, when Boss Cao proposed it, Ai Xiaomi and the little secretary called out [abnormal].

  But Boss Cao is extremely calm. That's because you have little knowledge. You should never underestimate the speed of the Chinese people, and you should never underestimate the competitive level of the Chinese people. In terms of reaction speed in the game field, the Chinese people are definitely among the top in the world.

  Players are also very experienced in dealing with anti-reactions. In the game forum, there are also anti-key strategies posted by the Great God:

  [If you encounter the opposite, look at the tail of the arrow, don’t look at the arrow]

  【Under normal circumstances, just look at the arrow, but look at the end of the arrow when it's reversed, which makes it easier. 】

  【Fuck, Niubi, thank you, Dao, I have finally enlightened! 】

  In addition to the anti, there are also bombs. If the bomb cannot be opened when the command is input, it will explode directly.

  On the game forum, you can see bomb discussion posts everywhere:

  Guni·Mo: [I was in a good mood, but it exploded when I saw the bomb;

There are two people in   F, they just don’t say how to press,

So angry! I'm afraid that sister knows to skip them!

  Which one knows how to press, he wouldn’t be able to reverse it, and it’s even more fun if he doesn’t blow it up.]

  Beebee love: [Just press the arrow keys for that ball]

  Babo rabbit: [Bombs are mines, just don’t step on it. 】

  ……

  So Audition seems to be mild in operation, but it is actually very heavy.

  This is another place that is misunderstood.

   Audition is not only severe in time, but also in Krypton and Gold.

  It successfully aroused the players' comparison psychology.

  Generally, Bomi officially sells soft sister coin clothes. Audition players are called YY.

  The official avatar, which does not need to spend money, is called a native outfit.

[Natural clothing] is used to despise those who are unwilling to spend money on YY, but there are also masters in "Audition" who only focus on technology and don’t mind wearing earthen clothing, so sometimes people who think they are great gods wearing yy are often seen Some native-equipped players exploded dryly.

  At this time, there is quite a bit of cool text in the later generations.

Most of the players who play Audition are very young. Bomi’s game has also received the [All ages] label from the Cultural Affairs Bureau. Therefore, the overall age of the players in the game is generally low, and there are even many post-90s, only Ten-year-old children also have a lot of fun.

  In the game, many people have a strong comparability to fresh and cool fashions, which has caused players to be keen to consume and purchase fashion items.

  From the perspective of krypton gold, the free "Audition" is more attractive than the time-charged "Three Kingdoms Online" and consumes more money for players, so it is very heavy in this regard.

  ……

  At the end of December, Wang Hanyang made some statistics and found that this month just sold more than 40 million items in the mall.

   "Oh my god, boss, we just made a profit, we actually made more than 40 million yuan just for the mall items!"

  A considerable part of it comes from big and small speakers.

  Who can think of a free game that can sell so much money just by selling mall props?

  Wang Hanyang couldn't believe his eyes at all.

  Not only he does not believe it, but all employees of Bomi Company do not believe it.

  "How is this possible?" Li Lanyun deeply doubted, "The profitability of free games is actually better than time charges?"

  It is necessary to know that the monthly income of the Three Kingdoms online is only more than 40 million, which is still in the case of all players paying.

  Although Audition has a large number of players, according to Li Lanyun's observation, many players are unwilling to pay.

"You do not understand."

  Cao Yang sighed, "You don’t understand the happiness of the rich."

  In the krypton game, one big R may be worth 100 small Rs, and one small R can be worth countless free players.

  Therefore, the bulk of the revenue of krypton games comes from Big R.

  They are wonderful creatures that can spend tens of thousands of dollars for a stylish and cool fashion.

  You can also buy the latest fashions for everyone in order to be praised.

  Money is not a problem, happiness is important.

  The happiness of the rich, you really don’t understand.

  ……
