I am a monthly card party

Chapter 1 Treasure System
In the whole world, is it the land of the king?On the shore of the land, could it be the king's ministers.

"Saidu" is a war strategy mobile game with the background of the Three Kingdoms. Although it is niche, the innovative full-free sandbox mode allows the player group in "Saidu" to form a unique and stable ecosystem.

At present, in the entire game market, the life cycle of mobile games is very short. The life span of most mobile games is less than 3 years, and the life span of some mobile games is even less than 1 year.

However, the mobile game "Litu" has been in operation for 4 and a half years, but it has not shown signs of fatigue.

Not only that, but the game "Bitu" has also achieved reverse growth and has become a maverick in the mobile game circle.

At the beginning of the launch of "Saidu", it only ranked around 100 in the mobile game best-selling list, but today, 4 and a half years after its launch, "Saidu" has entered the top 10 of the mobile game best-selling list!
More importantly, the word-of-mouth of "Bitu" is also getting better and better.

Based on this, the players of "Bitu" have great confidence in this game, and believe that this game is full of vitality and will become one of the benchmarks in the mobile game industry.

Hu Li is an ordinary game player, and he also played various games before coming into contact with "Bitu".

Hu Li doesn't have many hobbies, and spends most of his free time at home playing games.Although the work income is not high, but because the expenditure is small, it is enough to support myself.

Among Hu Li's expenses, rent and food are the biggest expenses. At the same time, because a large part of Hu Li's energy is spent in the game, Hu Li will also take out a certain percentage of money to recharge in the game.

Hu Li's recharge attitude in the game cannot affect real life, so the recharge ratio of the game is controlled very low.

According to Hu Li's economic conditions, Hu Li's recharge amount in the game is very low, and he is always in the civilian category in the game circle.

As a civilian player, Hu Li has played various games, but his experience in most games is not good. In a war strategy game, Hu Li, a player of the alliance, was beaten by the opponent.

Therefore, Hu Li plays more moba games. This type of game does not need to be recharged, and the combat effectiveness mainly depends on the player's operation and awareness.

However, Hu Li actually likes strategy games very much, but this type of game often means that ordinary players have a poor experience. Instead, it is a card game of the Three Kingdoms type that Hu Li has been playing for a long time.

Hu Li's game career is not short, and he has also met many friends in the game. "Li Tu" was recommended to Hu Li by his former game friend "Dragon Yin".

"Dragon Yin" is also a commoner player. The reason he recommended "Bitu" to Hu Li is that even commoners will have a good experience in this game.

In this way, with the mentality of giving it a try, Hu Li entered the trap of "Leading the Earth". This entry lasted more than two years.

In the special game ecology of "Saidu", Hu Li found his place and was deeply attracted.

Hu Li is a monthly card party in "Bitu", that is, a player who relies on recharging a monthly card to play the game. The effect of the monthly card is that he can receive 150 jade charms every day.

The price of a monthly card is 30RMB, which is equivalent to 1RMB per day for 150 jade charms.

If the additional top-up of the monthly card is excluded in "Litu", 150 jade charms will cost about 13RMB, so the price-performance ratio of the monthly card is still quite good.

And recently, "Bitu" issued a very important update notice: the treasure system.

Hu Li has deep expectations for the addition of new gameplays in "Bitu", because the addition of new gameplays will definitely bring new sparks to gamers.

2020年6月3日11点，在经过1个小时的停机维护后，《率土》正式推出宝物系统！
Hu Li couldn't wait to enter the game experience. Discovering treasures requires steps such as strengthening advanced forging, and performing these steps requires materials.

The system gives each player 2 basic treasures, but the materials are difficult to obtain.

The system launched two corresponding jade talisman activities at the same time. One activity is to buy 588 basic treasures with 2 jade talismans. This is not cost-effective, and Hu Li doesn't consider it.

Another activity is to buy a lot of materials for 3288 jade talismans, which are enough to forge a treasure from high-quality (primary) to rare (top-level).

This kind of activity is usually very cost-effective. In order to test the effect of the treasure, Hu Li gritted his teeth and bought this 3288 jade talisman material package.

Following the steps, strengthening, advancing, strengthening, advancing, forging, quenching, Hu Li obtained his first rare treasure.

In the last step of forging, Hu Li also found that in order to obtain better attributes, he needed to wash with jade talismans. Hu Li didn't try it because he didn't have many jade talismans, and directly quenched them.

Hu Li found that there is still a slight surplus of material gift packs to create a rare treasure, but it is still far away from the second rare treasure.

With the experience of the first rare treasure, Hu Li began to carefully study the new treasure system in "Lead the Earth", and Hu Li found that the value of the rare treasure is far stronger than imagined.

Hu Li's heart skipped a beat. This treasure system will not destroy the existing balance.

Hu Li decided to wait a little longer, carefully understand the difficulty of obtaining treasure materials, the attributes of different treasures, etc., and then re-evaluate the specific effect of this treasure system.

After more than a day, Hu Li basically understood the update of the treasure system.

During this day, Hu Li not only researched the treasure system on his own account, but also wandered around various "Sutu" groups, and at the same time watched "Sutu" live broadcast by different anchors.

After collecting and sorting out the information from all parties, Hu Li finally had a certain understanding of the treasure system.

But Hu Li didn't feel any joy, but deep sadness.

Why is this?

Because Hu Li discovered that the update of the treasure system this time is a serious damage to the ecology of "Litu".

On the one hand, the finished product of the treasure system is terrifying, which has a great impact on the existing game system. At the same time, it also leads to a substantial depreciation of existing accounts without rare treasures.

On the other hand, the materials required by the treasure system are extremely difficult to obtain and have a strong krypton metal property. If you want to obtain materials quickly, you must use a large number of jade charms, which makes the future living environment of the Yueka Party extremely harsh.

Hu Li did a rough calculation. If you don't pursue the effect of rare treasures, the cost of 1 rare treasure is roughly 2w jade to 2.2w jade.

If one month card party stops all jade talisman consumption at the cost of giving up the existing game experience, and fully accumulates jade talismans to create rare treasures, plus the materials obtained from various channels in the game, only 2 rare treasures can be accumulated in a season treasure.

However, a season of "Bitter" lasts for 3 months, which means that Hu Li needs 4 seasons (1 year) to break away from the existing group, save jade behind closed doors, and give up all experience and can only accumulate 8 rare treasures .

Including the gift pack of materials purchased at the beginning of 3288 Jade Talisman, there are 9 rare treasures in total.

Only after possessing 9 more rare treasures can Hu Li find a place in the new "Such Earth" ecology.

However, even if Hu Li can bear to collect 9 treasures in one year, how can he guarantee that "Bitu" will not release other similar systems in a year?

And "Bitu" is an alliance-based game with strong social attributes. How does Hu Li know how many of his former friends are left after a year?

So Hu Li was extremely dissatisfied with this update.

Not only was Hu Li dissatisfied, but most of the "Saidu" player team was dissatisfied with this update.

On the whole, this update will destroy the existing ecological balance of "Bitu", resulting in the loss of a large number of players.

Individually speaking, for civilians, the living environment will become extremely harsh in the future, and retiring will be the choice of most civilian players.

For local tyrants, the original account depreciates, and 15 rare treasures must be kryptonized to ensure combat effectiveness. Although the money is not bad, it is very uncomfortable to be forced to krypton.

For alliance management, this update will lead to a large-scale loss of alliance members.

For the members of the alliance, even if I can continue to play, but the friends who have fought with me for many seasons have gradually left the game, leaving only myself, what's the point?
Therefore, a large number of players began to protest against this update, and even established a dedicated player alliance.

A game between the player and the game company started. Hu Li was eye-opened by various means and measures.

However, Hu Li is not very optimistic about the players’ collective protest this time, because in the entire game industry, although players’ willingness and ability to pay have continued to increase in recent years, players are always a disadvantaged group.

There have been similar protests in various games in the past. Even if the players win temporarily, the game company is still the one that wins in the end.

For game companies, making games is to make money, and game players are leeks that can be cut back and forth.

Game companies need to make money, and all players can understand this, after all, it is not for public welfare.But completely disregarding the player's game experience, it seems too ugly to eat.

In fact, the demands of players are very simple. As consumers of games, players do not seek to be regarded as gods, but only hope that game companies can treat players as players, not leeks.

Once, "Bitu" was considered by players to be the last conscience, but now this last conscience does not exist anymore.

Hu Li couldn't understand why the game company made such a move to kill the chicken and take the eggs when "Lead the Earth" was booming. Isn't the top 10 in the best-selling list not enough?
The ecology of "Litu" that Hu Li was once proud of will no longer exist, and it also means that this game will no longer be suitable for Hu Li.

To abandon the game or not to give up the game, this is Hu Li's entanglement.
