Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 429 "The King of Fighters" is on the shelves; there are also many high-quality masterpieces in the special offer area
May 5st, Labor Day in the parallel world.

For many players, today is a special day.

Holidays, "The King of Fighters" is on the shelves, and the arcade special area.

Many self-proclaimed wise people disdain "The King of Fighters". Although the trailer of this game is indeed very exciting, even far surpassing the animation level of the current entertainment industry, the price of this cheat is very discouraging. In their opinion : "IQ tax things, only fools buy it."

But for players who are experienced and obsessed with fighting games, they don't think so.

Experience group: "The first 32-bit arcade masterpiece, it's only 3 yuan, and it's nothing to experience it."

These people basically don't play games often, they just like to experience new things.

Avoid the embarrassing situation where others say xx is great, but you ask what xx is.

And what about players who are obsessed with fighting games?
"Fuck, can an epoch-making game be sold so expensively? It's so fucking stupid..."

While cursing, she silently took out her small coffers, thinking to go there early to avoid queuing.

……

The 32-bit new arcade machines supporting "The King of Fighters" have been shipped to arcade halls across the country.

It's just that the production is limited. Smaller arcade halls can only be allocated one or two machines, and larger ones can be allocated five or ten machines.

The output of new arcade machines is only about [-] units, which seems to be stretched across the country.

With the current scale of arcade players, you must queue up to experience it. If you want to go to the arcade like you usually have a chance, I'm afraid it's not realistic.

This is also the reason why Tian Moyun forced a price of 3 yuan despite the scolding.

Use the price to screen players, and only after dissuading most players can a small number of players get a better experience.

This "small number of players" can often bring a good word-of-mouth effect.

And when the word-of-mouth of "The King of Fighters" has been fully established and verified by the market, a new batch of machines has been produced in the factory, and the price has returned to 2 yuan in the next month, which can basically supply the market demand.

It can be said that there is really a loop behind this.

Smart manufacturers, every step is carefully calculated, repeated research + meeting discussions, so as to determine the mode of operation and promotion.

Laymen can't understand, so they can only join in the fun, while insiders... well, not many can understand.

After all, this is the game industry, and it is essentially a world where content is king, not a business or advertising industry where marketing is paramount.

……

Shui Miaomiao!
(Okay, it's our Seventh Sister Shui again!)

As a game lover, how could "King of Fighters" such a heavyweight and epoch-making masterpiece not join in the fun?
On the day of 5.1, she took a group of friends to the game hall.

"I can still accept the price of 3 yuan, anyway, just to experience it."

Shui Miaomiao said: "Besides, the price will be reduced to 2 yuan next month. If you occasionally play on weekends, you won't think it's too expensive. There is also a discount zone event today. There are many discount zone lineups officially announced before." It's a fun game and worth playing."

The girls next to him also nodded.

The girl two said: "I'm afraid of having to queue up. During the many events of [Thunder Game], there was never a time when I didn't queue up... It's just a nightmare."

"It's only when it's lively."

Girl three disagrees: "It's the same as eating. The choice of the public may not be suitable for you, but if you don't even choose it for the public, it must not be suitable for you."

Jiangzi sounds very philosophical!

In fact, it is all nonsense to put it bluntly, but it is just a choice to follow the crowd blindly.

……

Shui Miaomiao and his group chatted and laughed, and went to the nearest game hall.

Then--

As soon as I entered, I saw a long queue somewhere. A young man was sitting on the sofa playing, and a group of people behind him were watching in amazement.

"It should be this."

Shui Miaomiao can tell at a glance that the arcade machine is different from other arcade machines. The difference in appearance is not big, but the screen is obviously bigger, and the picture quality, sound effects, and special combat effects are not comparable to other games.

After confirming the eyes, it is "The King of Fighters".

"Boss, give me 20 coins."

Shui Miaomiao said directly to the middle-aged man next to the counter.

"Come to play "King of Fighters"?"

The middle-aged man didn't accept the money, and said: "This game is quite enjoyable. A large group of people came before you, and they are all queuing up there. You probably won't be able to play it in the morning. Do you want to change it?"

So long in line?
Shui Miaomiao frowned and looked around: "Boss, you only have two new machines here?"

"Because it's a small game hall, I can only get two."

The boss spread his hands helplessly: "The headquarters said that the quantity is limited, and two more will be provided next month, so we can only make do with it now."

"Don't even think about going to other game halls. My place is a bit remote. With so many people, there must be more of those big game halls."

Shui Miaomiao and the group looked at each other.

Although they had expected to queue up for a long time, no one expected to reach this point.

"Should it have something to do with the Labor Day holiday?"

The girl two analyzed: "If it is normal, there should not be so many people."

"You are wrong."

The boss corrected: "If it was a new game released by other manufacturers, of course there wouldn't be so many people queuing up, but Boss Tian... When did you not line up? On the handheld side, the cassette of "Pokémon" has been released until now. It hasn't been delivered yet."

"..."

This is a very cruel fact.

"Looks like I won't be able to play today."

Fairy Shui Miaomiao sighed.

After thinking about it, although I was a little disappointed not to be able to play "The King of Fighters", I can't come here for nothing, right?

So I bought 20 game coins with the boss to experience the games in the special zone.

Preferential area——

It is just a division for game types, and there is no clear division of models.

The arcade mode of [Thunder Game Hall] is divided into a main server and countless arcade machines. All games are placed in the server, and then players can choose the game they want to play in the arcade, enter the interface, and start by inserting coins.

This mode is very user-friendly.

Compared with handhelds and consoles, where you have to change the cassette when changing games, it is undoubtedly much simpler, and it saves a lot of unnecessary costs.

After opening the selection interface, you can clearly see a green "Preferential Area" logo appearing next to it.

There are two sections of "2% off discount" and "1% off discount", and you can also see the countdown: 29 days!
According to the official answer, the "preferential zone" is changed every 30 days, which is a limited-time discount, not a permanent discount.

……

Shui Miaomiao and the others played all morning, and didn't get off the plane until they were hungry.

They watched "The King of Fighters" for a while, and they were very impressed. They didn't leave in a hurry until they were very hungry.

"Although I didn't get to play "The King of Fighters", I found the games in the special offer area quite interesting."

The girl two said: "Several games are very good, and they are still 1% off, so I can play them for a long time."

"Yeah, the preferential zone is really good, much better than expected."

Shui Miaomiao nodded and was about to speak when suddenly the phone rang.

He took out the [Orange 1] he just bought, and went out to answer the phone.

"Is it Ms. Shui Miaomiao?"

The other party's voice came from the phone: "I am the Director of Human Resources Department of [Thunder Magazine]. Your resume has been reviewed by our company. If you have time, I hope you can come for an interview tomorrow."

"it is good."

Shui Miaomiao's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly agreed.

After hanging up the phone, while she was overjoyed, she also felt that something was wrong. It wasn't until she walked into the restaurant that she realized that today was Labor Day.

By the way, does your company not have holidays?
