Build a game empire from scratch

"Why does it take 4 days so long!"

"Why did you tell me so early!!"

"The intentions are sinister!!"

...

"Metropolis News" ended with Ah Zhen and Ah Qiang's farewell sound.

However, the players were frying pots one after another, wailing everywhere, saying that they couldn't wait for a day, and they would play tomorrow!

Just as always, it's useless.

So everyone started to do analysis in full swing again, turned into Leeuwenhoek one after another, and watched this episode over and over again with a magnifying glass.

Even downloaded the video—the Metropolis News now has its own official account, and uploaded the show as soon as the "live" was over.

The big hands among the players downloaded the video, imported it into the editing software, and slowed it down frame by frame, looking for clues about each piece of news.

Especially the sections of Dinosaur Island and the hunting ground, the analysis is super serious.

Players with strong mobility log in to the game immediately, go to the places mentioned in the program, and do on-the-spot inspections.

Soon, everyone was surprised to find that these clues really appeared in the game since no one knew when!

What's even more outrageous is that Jurassic Park and Dinosaur Island have always been played and stayed by players, and they have always been so peaceful.

But since the news ended, the players really found the open space and saw the deep wells spewing heat and smoke, and the whole island trembled at that moment!

The tremors were not strong, at most the intensity of an earthquake of magnitude three or four.

However, because the focal point is very shallow, even Jurassic Park, which is a little farther away, has produced obvious tremors.

In these mirror images, hundreds of thousands of casual players who are still playing in Jurassic Park are amazed!

—They don't know what happened yet.

This is not surprising.

The total number of Yunmeng users now exceeds 300 million—this refers to the number of users who have activated the Mirage host and logged in to the virtual world.

The number of mainframes produced and sold by Yunmeng has actually exceeded 360 million!

But there are many of them, all of which are super large overseas orders.

These astonishing numbers of mainframes were loaded into large containers and traveled across the sea on giant freighters, heading to five continents and all over the world.

There are only two continents in the world, one is Antarctica and the other is Africa.

In fact, there are orders in Africa, but there are no such large orders of hundreds of thousands or millions. They are all scattered individual purchases, and they are shipped by air.

Shipping is more expensive, but faster.

Although the advantage of fast speed is meaningless-in the current Africa, unless you are on the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea and can find a way to connect to the European network, otherwise you will not be able to connect to the virtual world no matter how you jump.

The Internet environment in Africa is really bad.

The per capita network cable length is not even as good as Antarctica.

...

With such an astonishing number of users in Yunmeng, it is naturally impossible for all of them to be heavy gamers, or even not all gamers.

There are a considerable number of users who buy hosts purely for gimmicks such as "epoch-making virtual reality technology" and "completely real virtual world".

Thanks to Lin You’s foresight, he launched casual games, tourism scenes, parent-child playgrounds, wilderness outdoor experiences and other content step by step, so that they really stayed and got used to logging in frequently to take a look, and even gradually turned into casual players. , really like the virtual world.

These people usually see the news of Yunmeng, and they will take a look at it, but they don't pay attention to Yunmeng's dynamics all the time, and they don't fanatically pursue every news.

That's what fanatical heavy gamers do.

That's why, after they were startled by the unexpected earthquake, they learned what happened from the Internet, and then joined the discussion logically, or ran to the epicenter to "check in".

By the time they ran here, some players who were not afraid of death had already drilled into the deep well.

These dug shafts are very narrow, and it is very difficult for a person to go down alone. If you want to get in, you have to be hung upside down.

Even so, there are still a large number of brave men who come forward, wanting to see what's underground.

It's just that everyone soon discovered: I came early.

The depth of the hole was obviously not enough, and there was still nothing at the bottom of the hole.

In the end, I had to let the NPCs come back again, and then drilled down.

They stood around and stared at each other.

In fact, they were lucky, after all, they found their target.

Players who went to "Hunter: Call of the Wild" to find the murder scene encountered a problem at the beginning——

There is simply nowhere to be found.

The "hunting ground" is too big, and the traces are hard to find.

As for the "manager" of the hunting ground mentioned in the news, it doesn't exist in the game at all.

So I can only find it hard.

Meanwhile, Minecraft players are expressing dissatisfaction in the comments section.

Because the new event announced by this issue of "Metropolis News" covers almost all of Yunmeng's games, except for one——

"my world".

Ever since, the players of "My World" were furious:

"You don't want to play with us, do you?!"

But their anger was immediately sprayed back:

"You guys are so angry! Yunmeng has released three big mods! There are hundreds of unofficial mods, are you still not satisfied?!"

"That's right! We should be outraged!"

""Journeyman", the real veteran, but after waiting for so long, he added two scarves?? Are you fooling the ghost?!"

"Is it because our installed games are not worthy?"

...

The anger of the players of "Wind Journey" is understandable.

In this large-scale event, "Wind Journey" only added two scarves, and the way to get them is "Take the pilgrimage again".

Go again by yourself and get one.

Walk around with a friend and get another one.

nothing else...

"Wind Brigade" is a "installation game", every player who buys a Mirage host can see this game as long as he logs in to the virtual world.

Coupled with the ridiculously high word-of-mouth, players will basically give it a try.

Therefore, "Wind Brigade" is the game with the broadest player base in Yunmeng!

Once they quarreled, the momentum was very exaggerated and full of stamina.

When Lin You went to work the next day, there were still a steady stream of players complaining about "Wind Brigade" on the social network, thinking that "Wind Brigade" should receive more attention and better treatment.

Seeing Lin You's head hurting.

He also likes "Wind Journey", but the problem is: this game is really not suitable for adding miscellaneous things!

It is a "simple" game in itself, which is its charm. Adding things indiscriminately will reduce points.

Looking at Shen Ping's expectant eyes, Lin You thought for a while and said, "How about... add a few more scarves?"

"??" The expectation in Shen Ping's eyes quickly turned into a question mark, "Is the boss serious?"

"If you nod, then we will really make an announcement like this? Just say it was your plan."

"Don't! Don't!" Lin You quickly stopped.

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally came up with an idea: "How about throwing [Wings of Light] from "Light Yu" into "Wind Journey" for a week?"

Everyone discussed it for a while, and finally decided on this plan, which is not new, but barely justified.

——It’s really because of limited energy, and now all departments are very busy for this New Year’s Eve event.

Lin You is no exception. He not only pays attention to the current status of a game, but also joins in the development of "Chang'an".

And as the boss, he often has to deal with things outside of the game.

Just like today, before he had been working for a long time, an unexpected person came over——

British partner, founder of CC Game Company: Chadwick.

"Hello, Mr. Chadwick, what's the matter?"

"Hello, Mr. Lin You, we have encountered some troubles and have to ask Yunmeng for help."

"What about the match between England and Scotland players?" Lin You asked.

"Yes, many players have come to protest at the door of the company recently, which has caused us a lot of headaches." Chadwick's voice was full of exhaustion.

"Protest?" Lin You was a little surprised.

But on second thought, it seems reasonable.

The [England-Scotland Players Competition] in the UK is completely different from the [Northern Players and Southern Players Competition] in Daxia.

Because the Scots are really shouting for independence every year recently.

This kind of confrontation took place in Daxia, and the netizens at most made complaints about it, thinking it was fun.

But in the UK, Lin You thinks it is completely understandable if some patriots are worried that this kind of behavior will promote confrontation and division, so they organize to protest.

It's just this kind of thing, what's the use of finding him?

"Here, Yunmeng can't help you, right?" Lin You was puzzled, "What kind of help do you want?"

"Yes!" Hearing Lin You's refusal, Chadwick was a little anxious, "It's not a big deal, as long as the authorization time for organizing the event is extended!"

"Authorization time? Are you going to extend the game??"

Hearing this, Lin You was even more confused.

The players ran to your door to protest. Not only did you not give in, but you wanted to extend the game time?

Are you so stubborn?

"Yeah, if they are not allowed to join, their protests will not stop." On the other end of the phone, Chadwick's tone was full of helplessness.

But Lin You suddenly felt something was wrong.

join in?

Are these people protesting to join the game? ?

"Wait a minute!" Lin You felt that he might have misunderstood something, "Who the hell is protesting?"

"Ah? Don't you know?" Chadwick was surprised, "Northern Irish player."

"ha?"
