"Chen Yu, you're really something. You're going to launch a new game."
"I have no choice. I'm just trying to make a living."
"If that's what you call making a living, then we have to beg for food."
Zhu Jun, who had not contacted Chen Yu for a while, called him.
It was impossible for Nine Cities to say that they were not pressured by Huanyu Technologies' new game.
"Why did you think of making a free-to-play game?"
"Free-to-play games are a trend. The market is huge, and we're very interested."
"Tsk, tsk. Now that you're here, we're finished."
"Come on. You'll be fine if you stop playing football. "
Chen Yu had always had opinions about Zhu Jun playing football.
As a friend, Chen Yu had advised him several times not to play football.
After all, Zhu Jun wasn't the one who was playing football.
For a gaming tycoon like him, he naturally bought a football team.
He was rich and had a successful career. Hence, he devoted himself to football.
But everyone knew that football was a bottomless pit.
Not to mention, it was domestic football.
No matter how much he invested, there would be no results.
There were no results. There was no entertainment value.
In Feng Yu's previous life, Zhu Jun was cheated by football. Feng Yu did not expect him to start playing football again.
"Tsk. You don't know how fun football is. How many people are there in China? How many football fans are there in China? If he makes football a success, he'll earn more money than the game. "
"He has to be able to afford it."
"Don't worry. I'll manage it personally. It won't be bad. Why don't you come along? I'll guide you. "
"Brother, don't. I still want to live for a few more years."
"Okay then. Oh yeah, how's your game going? "
"I don't know. I don't really care. They can do it well."
"Okay. I'll play your game tomorrow."
“OK。”
Although he had a good relationship with Zhu Jun.
How could he be soft on this kind of thing?
On the other side, Shengda's Chen Tianqiao had the same thoughts as Zhu Jun.
However, Chen Tianqiao did not call Chen Yu.
"Danian, Huanyu Technologies' Battle of the Worlds will be released tomorrow. What do you think?"
"Big Brother, I've watched their battle videos. They're just so-so."
"You can't just look at the surface. Huanyu Technologies is the number one in the gaming industry. It's not that simple."
"Big Brother, although Huanyu Technologies is quite capable, they might not be able to beat us when it comes to the free model."
Shengda started making free-to-play games at the beginning of 2004.
In particular, they even made the most popular Legends free of charge.
Previously, everyone thought that Shengda was done for.
But later on, he discovered that the free Legend of Mir was even more profitable than the paid Legend of Mir.
Because of this.
Recently, Shengda had been the agent for several games, all of which were free of charge.
Although it couldn't be compared to Huanyu Technologies, it still made a lot of money.
"Danian, don't be arrogant. Huanyu Technologies' Bubble Hall is free."
"Bubble Hall is just a casual game. This can't be compared."
"Forget it, it's useless to talk about this. Let's see how effective they are tomorrow."
There was no point in talking about this now. The specifics of Expedition's performance would have to depend on tomorrow's closed beta.
Of course, it was a closed beta.
But Huanyu Technologies' closed beta was a closed beta that didn't delete the files.
In other words, Huanyu Technologies' closed beta was similar to the open beta of many gaming companies.
On the one hand, it was to save time.
On the other hand, it was to make money.
Otherwise, the closed beta would last for one or two months. Wouldn't they be unable to make money during this one or two months?
In the gaming market, there was gold everywhere. In the past, when they made paid games, they had to collect money for the closed beta. Now that it was a free game, they had to collect money even more.
"Brother Jian, let's go to Brother Fatty's Internet cafe to play games."
"Okay."
The next day, Expedition's closed beta officially began.
Chen Yu didn't care about what Zou Tao was doing. Instead, he went to Fatty Wang's interlocked Internet cafe to play games with Zhang Jianming.
As for the game they were going to play, of course, it was Expedition.
"Damn, Chen Yu, what a rare guest."
Fatty Wang said in shock when he saw Chen Yu.
"Jianming, you're here too."
"Boss Chen said he wanted to play games with you, so I came with him."
"What kind of status do you have? Why are you still coming to an Internet cafe to play games? Oh, I almost forgot. You have a new game coming online today. Let's go, I'll arrange a private room for you. "
"No, let's go to the general area."
What's the point of playing games in a private room?
If it was a private room, Chen Yu would rather play in his own office.
Since they were going to an Internet cafe, Chen Yu naturally wanted to see how the other players were doing.
"Okay, let's go to the general area."
"I'll arrange it for you."
As the vice president of Chain Internet Cafe, Fatty Wang didn't need to be in the Internet cafe.
Like Chen Yu, he could stay in his own office.
But Fatty Wang liked to play games, and he even set up the biggest gaming guild in the country.
As the boss of the guild, Fatty Wang stayed in the Internet cafe all the time.
Of course, there were benefits to this.
Because of Fatty Wang, many netizens patronized the series of online cafes he opened all over the country.
Fatty Wang even became the brand of their Internet cafe, bringing them a steady stream of business.
"Come, come, come. Sit here. I'll open one too."
Seeing that Chen Yu and the others were so interested, Fatty Wang also turned on a computer by the side.
"Brother Fatty, why? Do you want to play Conquest too?"
"Of course. It's your first free game. I'd like to see how it's like."
"Okay, let's enter the game together later."
Chen Yu didn't know how Conquest would be like.
Chen Yu didn't keep an eye on the game during this period. He was also looking forward to the game.
"Have you created an account?"
"Yes."
"Brother Fatty, what's your name?"
"It's so lonely to be invincible."
"Damn, Brother Jian, what about you?"
"I'm Xue Ye Xing."
"Brother Jian, good job. You're showing off."
"What about you?"
"Me."
Chen Yu smiled and looked. "Jade-Faced Young Gentleman."
The three of them looked at each other's IDs and couldn't stop laughing.
"It's starting."
"Damn, Chen Yu, there are too many people playing your game."
"We can't help it. They're too strong. We don't want to have so many people."
"Let's go to the suburbs to level up."
"Okay, let's team up."
The gameplay was simple.
Online games couldn't escape from killing monsters to level up.
Even after 20 years of online games, it was still the same.
However, excellent games could make killing monsters to level up extremely interesting.
For example, Huanyu Technologies' Fantasy Westward Journey.
Killing monsters to level up became chatting and social interaction.
Another example was Infernal Realm.
Killing monsters to level up became hot-blooded fights comparable to clicking.
Killing monsters in Kyushu was a super shocking scene.
The current battle had a different flavor to it.
"Wow, leveling up feels so good."
"I leveled up after killing a few monsters."
"A Wild Boar actually dropped such a powerful piece of equipment."
The leveling setting of Conquest was very simple.
It was simple because killing monsters was easy.
The game was set to automatically kill monsters. As long as the character was placed in an area, the character would automatically kill monsters.
This greatly reduced the exhaustion of the user's operation.
Everyone could chat while killing monsters.
Of course, this wasn't the main point.
The main point was the crudeness.
It was difficult to level up in a normal game, and it would get harder as the game progressed.
However, Conquest had abandoned the difficulty of leveling up.
It made it extremely easy to level up and kill monsters.
As the official advertisement of Conquest said, "You'll fall in love with this game after three minutes of experience."
Although this was a bit exaggerated, Fatty Wang was already addicted to the game after only ten minutes.
At the same time, the three of them had leveled up to more than ten levels.
An hour later, they were already at level 30.
At night, the two of them were already at level 50.
This leveling speed gave the three of them a great sense of satisfaction.
One must know that the current maximum level in this game was only level 60.
In other words, one could level up to the highest level in one day.
Compared to other games, this was simply too satisfying.
"Chen Yu, Jianming, come, drink some."
After leveling up to level 50, the three of them were a little tired. Fatty Wang brought three bottles of water over.
"Chen Yu, your game is not bad."
"Hehe, of course."
Chen Yu nodded. He hadn't played games for a long time, but the feeling of leveling up crazily just now was really satisfying.
"However, the game is not bad, but how do you make money?"
The game was a free-to-play game.
In other words, one could play without topping up.
Now that leveling up had become so easy, it would be difficult to make money.
Previously, many free-to-play games made a lot of money by leveling up.
If one wanted to level up without topping up, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
If one wanted to become stronger and level up quickly, one had to topping up money.
"It's very simple. Look, what kind of equipment are we wearing now?"
Although Chen Yu wasn't fully involved in the production of the whole game, Chen Yu quickly discovered the direction of the whole game through these few hours.
For example, the equipment.
Indeed.
Conquest was to let one enjoy killing monsters and leveling up.
However, when one's level was high and there was no corresponding equipment, wouldn't it be uncomfortable?
With that, Fatty Wang looked at his own equipment.
True enough.
The three of them had reached level 50.
However, the equipment that the three of them had was above level 20.
In other words, the three of them had to change their equipment.
Otherwise, if they were at level 50 with level 20 equipment, their efficiency in killing monsters would be slow and they would not be able to win in PK.
However, it wasn't that easy to change a set of equipment …
"I'll go back to the main city to change a set of equipment."
"If you can change it, it's my loss."
Chen Yu smiled and said.
When it was time to make money, one had to make money.
Everyone was happy at the beginning. Then, it was time for Huanyu Technologies to make money.
Equipment was one of the most profitable areas.
"Damn, there isn't any."
Fatty Wang was disappointed.
As Chen Yu had guessed, one couldn't get the equipment they wanted in the main city.
Of course, there was no NPC in the game, but there were stalls set up by other players.
However, one had to spend game coins to buy it.
Well, did one really think that it was only about spending game coins?
Of course, one only needed some game coins in the early stages.
However, later on, if one wanted to buy good equipment, one's game coins were simply not enough.
Then, at this time, one could try topping up one yuan.
Yes.
