Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 787 Revised Version

In the game "Fairy Trace".

Haojing, the birthplace of Long Wenhao, who chose the Great Zhou camp, naturally became here.

Since the game is based on ancient myths such as "Feng Shen Yan Yi" and "Shan Hai Jing", players are naturally divided into two camps: "Ji Zhou" and "Yin Shang".

And Haojing is not only the royal city of Ji Zhou's forces, but also the main area for novice players to do tasks in the top ten levels.

"Hey, there are more people than monsters here, and we've finally reached level ten. Where shall we do the mission next?"

In the dormitory, Long Wenhao let go of the mouse, took a sip of water, and then looked at Wang Wei who was in the next bed.

And Wang Wei is also busy logging into the player forum to check strategies: "Don't rush, I'm looking up right now."

"Look for a place with fewer people. Queuing up to fight monsters is too uncomfortable. Moreover, the same faction in this game has not yet issued a PK, so it is impossible to clear the field."

Wang Wei suggested: "How about we form a guild?"

After hearing this, Long Wenhao shook his head directly: "What kind of guild should we join? Why don't we just create one ourselves? Anyway, I'm definitely not used to listening to others pointing fingers and being someone else's younger brother."

Wang Wei was speechless: "Okay, okay, I know that your brother Hao has a big temper and can't bear to be wronged."

"What do you mean by having a bad temper? Is it because I have a good structure? And when I create a guild, I will be the president directly, and you will be the vice president. It will be interesting to play like this."

Relying on his wealth, Long Wenhao formed a guild ranked among the top three in the server in "Legend of Hot Blood". The other players in the server respectfully called "Brother Hao".

"This game is good everywhere, but you can't PK, it's a bit boring."

When Long Wenhao plays games, what he pursues is a cool word.

It's cool to cut monsters and remove equipment, but the best thing is to cut other players.

After all, as the great man said, fighting with others is a lot of fun.

"You want to PK?"

Wang Wei smiled and said: "Coincidentally, I heard that Jiamengguan is a war zone, where you can meet players from the enemy camp Yinshang. There is no limit to PK in the wild, even if you kill someone, you won't be famous."

"Fuck, is there such a good thing?"

Long Wenhao's heart was moved on the spot. After all, killing monsters is not as fun as killing people. After playing "Legend of Hot Blood" for several years, he is still very confident in his own strength.

"It's just right there for players from level 12 to level 16 to level up, and there is also a copy of the four generals of the Demon family that can be used."

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go!"

The two left as soon as they agreed, and Long Wenhao felt his blood start to boil when he thought of being able to kill all directions and show off in front of other players.

Playing games, isn't it just a cool word?

The purpose of working hard to level up is naturally to show off in front of other players, after all, people don't pretend to bully young people.

Jiamengguan, the place where Jiang Ziya first stumbled in "Fengshen Yanyi".

And here, Long Wenhao soon encountered the first Waterloo in his pretending career.

He was abused.

And he was abused terribly. A level 13 player from Yin Shang killed him and Wang Wei five times in the field PK, and even guarded the corpses.

"Gan Gan Gan, I've never been wronged like this in my life! Wait until I go online and buy some good equipment, and see if I can't kill him!"

In the dormitory, Long Wenhao was so angry that he almost smashed the keyboard.

Wang Wei couldn't help complaining: "The opponent is probably a high-level player who has participated in the internal test. Although the level is only 12, his PK skills are ahead of ours. I think you should not waste that money. The PK of this game is mainly Looking at the technology, there is not much difference in equipment."

Although he didn't want to admit it, Long Wenhao knew that what Wang Wei said was true.

After all, the game mechanism of "Legend of Hot Blood" is very simple, and the player's operation skill bonus is not high, and the PK is mainly about fighting equipment and attributes.

In "Fairy Trail", as long as it is not level crushing, PK depends entirely on the player's PK skills.

As long as the technique is good, and the combination of skills and equipment is reasonable, it is no problem for one to fight more than a dozen.

Although Long Wenhao likes to play games, his level can be summed up in one word, that is "food".

"Forget it, I'd better go back and play "Legend of Hot Blood". Suddenly, I feel that "Fairy Trail" is quite boring."

It seems that because of the fiasco of the PK just now, Long Wenhao was psychologically shadowed. He mainly played the game for fun, but in the end he was abused in the game, so he naturally didn't want to play.

No matter how good the picture and gameplay of "Fairy Trail" is, it still cannot attract him.

Clicking on the familiar login icon of "Hot Blood Legend" again, Long Wenhao couldn't help but let out a voice of surprise: "The game is free forever? What's going on?"

"Free? What free!?"

Wang Wei ran over curiously, and then also saw the game announcement from the official customer service of Legend of Blood, and then exclaimed: "Fuck, "Legend of Blood" will be free forever from today? I just recharged the credit card. "

Long Wenhao clicked on the specific content of the announcement, and then said: "Don't worry, users who have already recharged will be refunded with twice the credit amount of the mall, and you still make money, recharge thirty and get thirty free. Hey, this Why are there so many paid items in the official mall!"

"Fuck? Double experience pills? Triple experience pills? And ten times experience pills that can only be bought by level 12 supreme VIPs?"

"Damn it? Slay the dragon with a treasured sword, just click to give it away? Weapons and equipment can also open holes to embed gems?"

Long Wenhao looked at the updated content of the game, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became. The changes were really too big.

In the past, point cards were charged. Although players can also trade top-quality equipment with each other in the game, there is no such outrageous thing as ten times the experience pill.

Wang Wei was also dumbfounded: "The attributes added by these gems are so high, especially this kind of Taixu grade mixed gemstones with a coupon of [-] points. The attributes added by a single gem are higher than the attributes of my whole body combined now. , is this reasonable!?"

You know, his current game account took three years of hard work to create, and he put in a lot of effort into it. The money spent on buying equipment alone was [-] to [-].

As a result, hitting a gem on the equipment now can crush him?

Long Wenhao said with a smile: "I think it's quite reasonable. After all, it costs 10 yuan a piece, and you get what you pay for. It's unreasonable if you are not strong."

After speaking, he began to look for the recharge window, then followed the prompts to bind the bank card, and directly transferred money into the game.

I saw that Long Wenhao recharged 50 into his account without blinking an eye, and then bought four gems, and used all the remaining money to open the treasure chest of magic weapons.

"Brother Hao, this magic weapon treasure chest costs 36 yuan to open once."

"36 yuan is not expensive, and I will make money if I open the magic weapon."

"It's not that easy, the drop rate of divine weapons must be very low."

"Whatever, I have money anyway."

Long Wenhao was abused in "Fairy Trail" just now, and now it's time to get angry, so he thought about opening a piece of top-quality equipment to get back the scene.

Although it is impossible to return to "Fairy Trail", it is also very good to abuse the food in "Legend of Hot Blood".

It has to be said that the equipment and materials obtained from the magic weapon treasure chest are all rubbish, at least it is useless to high-level players like Long Wenhao, and it is not worth the price at all.

But Long Wenhao didn't care much, anyway, he had a lot of pocket money, and since he went to college, he became a wild horse, and his family didn't care much about him.

After opening the treasure chest and spending almost 3 yuan, he finally came out with a ding, and a fire-attribute magic weapon called Blazing Dragon Slash.

The moment the equipment was used, the fiery red light soaring into the sky swept away his depressed mood, and replaced it with pride: "This knife is so cool, it's really worth the money!"

At the same time, the entire server also turned on colorful text swiping.

"Congratulations to the player Aoxue Feilong for winning the Divine Weapon Blazing Dragon Slash."

The other players in the game instantly boiled up: "Damn it, worship the boss!"

"Boss, do you still lack pendants on your legs?"

"Extremely deep, friend?"

"There is a five-in-a-thousand chance that someone has really launched a magical weapon? Really!"

"This is our server's first magical weapon, right?"

"The big guy is awesome!"

Amazement, envy, jealousy, and even all kinds of flattery in private messages, this feeling of being watched by everyone instantly made Long Wenhao feel so happy, and he instantly understood what kind of feeling "a man should be like this" in his heart.

And this move of Long Wenhao also completely stunned his roommate Wang Wei, watching him recharge 50 into the game without hesitation made him envious.

Although Wang Wei's family is considered to be a little rich, and the monthly living expenses provided by the family alone are tens of thousands, but it is still far from a krypton gold local tycoon like Long Wenhao.

But to Long Wenhao, this was nothing at all.

After all, in his social circle, there are a bunch of bigwigs worth more than a billion yuan, and his annual expenses will not be less than 100 million. When he was in the second year of high school, his family bought him a car worth more than 200 million yuan. Ferrari.

But the sense of accomplishment these things brought him is not as good as a piece of equipment in the game, the first magical weapon in the whole server, in his hand, he is so handsome that he has no friends, sparks and lightning all the way, wherever he goes can become the center of attention.

"Still "Legend of Hot Blood" is more fun, it is much more interesting than "Fairy Trail"!"

Long Wenhao thought from the bottom of his heart that he really thought so.

And in Zhonghai, the headquarters of Junzi Huyu.

Jiang Rongfa also said to Lu Yiming with a happy face: Mr. Lu, your way of freeing the game and charging for items is really amazing. Although many old players have been lost to "Fairy Trail", the new users of "Legend of Blood" It has increased, and the players' enthusiasm for recharging is very high!
Because of the popularity of "Fairy Trail", the number of online players in "Legend of Blood" once dropped below 12, but after it was released for free, the number of players immediately rebounded.

After all, "Fairy Trail" charges for point cards, and many players, such as elementary and middle school students, may not have so much money in their hands to recharge point cards.

So the permanent free of "Hot Blood Legend" immediately attracted this group of players.

And for an old game that has been in operation for almost five years, Lu Yiming also asked Jiang Rongfa to make drastic changes to the content of the game, especially for players' preferences.

Players complain that the initial occupation is not rich enough?
Lu Yiming added occupational branches, and basic skills did not set occupational boundaries.

Players complain that they can't get good equipment?
Lu Yiming increased the probability of detonating the magical costume, and cross-border PK can also explode.

Players complain that there is not enough communication in the game?

Lu Yiming strengthened the social gameplay, established a family, formed a guild, expanded the guild to occupy Chicheng, a group of heroes competed to become the king, and cross-server expeditions...

All in all, every appeal that players discuss in the forum will become the driving force for developers to type code overnight to add content.

In fact, free games make money from paying players, especially the top users who recharge the most. These krypton gold bosses are the real objects that game officials really want to serve.

As for those free players who don't top up, they become part of the gaming experience.

No way, who told you not to recharge?
Without paying money, of course there is no way to become stronger.

The former Boss Shi grasped this point and created such an explosive online game as "Zhengtu".

But now "Legend of Hot Blood" can't compare with "Fairy Trail" in terms of game quality, so naturally we can only find another way and work hard on the gameplay mode.

It's just that Jiang Rongfa obviously still has some psychological struggles: "Mr. Lu, isn't it unfair to ordinary players if we do this?"

Lu Yiming sighed: "How can there be fairness in this world? I make a game for free for them to play, what am I trying to do? You should think this way, those uncles who spend money to play games feed us, and we can only make a living for ourselves if we survive." More players create the best gaming experience possible."

"Ah...this..."

Although he knew that what Lu Yiming said was all nonsense, Jiang Rongfa still didn't know how to refute it.

Lu Yiming asked: "By the way, who has the highest recharge consumption record in the revised game?"

Jiang Rongfa asked someone to check the background records, and then reported a name: "It is a player named Aoxue Feilong. Let me check the mobile phone number he is bound to. His real name is Long Wenhao. He recharged 50 at one time."

"The prodigal son of Longwu's family?"

Lu Yiming remembered the other party's identity, and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect it to be someone I know."

"Mr. Lu, should we make a discount?"

"That's not necessary, knowledge is knowledge, money still has to be earned."

Then Lu Yiming began to order Jiang Rongfa again: "If you do this, I will recruit some beautiful customer service staff with sweet voices in the future. If it doesn't work, go to the broadcasting school to look for it. It must be the kind that can make a man's bones crumble just by talking." do you know?"

"what?"

Jiang Rongfa was puzzled.

Lu Yiming had to explain the reasoning to him: "In the future, for the game "Legend of Hot Blood", the company will draw a few lines, for example, players who recharge and spend more than 3 yuan per month will arrange a customer service service for players who spend more than 20 yuan. If so, arrange a dedicated customer service one-on-one reception."

"These people are all uncles. If we want to make money, we have to serve them well. For example, tailor-made special weapons and equipment and exclusive titles for them. These VIP players have needs, and we must try our best to meet them. If they don't have needs, we You also need to create demand and satisfy them.”

After Jiang Rongfa listened to it, he was greatly shocked, so much so that he deeply felt that his thinking was too simple before, and he only wanted to make the game well and sell it to players.

This kind of thinking is simply too simple, too naive, and not social at all.

However, Jiang Rongfa soon showed a distressed expression, and looked at Lu Yiming with a troubled face: "Boss Lu, isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to do this?"

"Why is it inappropriate?"

"Arrange beautiful customer service and induce players to spend. Are we not pimps?"

"As you said, we operate completely legally, and the services we provide do not violate any regulations. If there are beautiful players who are willing to pay and spend money, we can also find handsome operators for one-on-one service."

Lu Yiming said in a natural tone: "The current operation idea of ​​"Legend of Hot Blood" is actually similar to selling luxury goods. The entertainment attributes provided by the game itself are only part of the service. Besides the game, we also need to satisfy players at a higher level. social experience."

"Take a watch as an example. An electronic watch that costs five yuan is worn on the hand. It is used to tell the time. But a watch worth 500 million yuan must not only use functions, but also include identity. , class, taste and class and other social services in it, you have to prove to users that they are worth their money.”

After listening to Lu Yiming's words, Jiang Rongfa's vision and pattern were instantly opened, and he asked in a daze, "Operate a game with the idea of ​​selling luxury goods! Is that okay?"

Lu Yiming said with a smile: "Why not? Online games are also a form of social interaction, so you should not use the idea of ​​operating stand-alone games to operate online games. In the future, we will have more offline social activities. In short, we want to let those Tyrant players who spend money have face.”

Jiang Rongfa was greatly shocked. This was a path he had never imagined.

Pengcheng, the headquarters of Tenglong Games.

Ma Teng called Zhang Zhidong, and asked straight away: ""Legend of Hot Blood" is announced to be free forever, what is Lu Yiming doing?"

"I found someone to investigate, and now "Legend of Blood" has a free game and item payment model. Players don't need money to play the game, but in the official mall built into the game, many powerful items need to be recharged to buy."

Listening to Zhang Zhidong's words, Ma Teng frowned: "Can I make money this way?"

At this time, domestic online games still operate in the same way as in the past, and they all play point card fees.

At least in Ma Teng's eyes, whoever spends money to play free games, isn't that a fool?

Just when the two were puzzled, the manager of the market research department rushed over to report: "Mr. Ma, the monthly statistics of Junzi Huyu have been released. The number of simultaneous online users of "Legend of Blood" exceeded 100 million, and the monthly revenue was 4870. Ten thousand!"

"!!!???"

Both Zhang Zhidong and Ma Teng were shocked by this statistic. As for the broken game "Legend of Hot Blood", does anyone really recharge and spend?

And what the hell is 4870 million?

Such an expired MMORPG game can actually earn Lu Yiming 6 million a year?

Is there any king law?
Are there any laws?
