Build a game empire from scratch

What Bian Xiao expected was not bad.

Of these 16 people, 13 are now in Chang'an City.

There are only the remaining 3, because they have to give up because they want to go back to their hometown for the New Year.

After all, for an omnidirectional treadmill, if you want to mail it back to your hometown and then mail it back, the price will not be mentioned, and it will be troublesome just to disassemble it.

As for the champion's million dollar prize, if there is hope, there is indeed.

But to say high?

But not necessarily.

Especially the 13 people who skipped the game and are currently playing in Chang'an City.

These 13 people all have one thing in common - they are all members of Night City [Fight Club].

And they gave up the game because they were convinced that they couldn't win.

Why can't you win?

Because 【Fight Club】participated in the [VR Boxing Champion·Global Contest] and advanced to the stage of 128 to 64 players, far more than 13 of them.

Thanks to the frequent confrontations and exchanges within [Fight Club], expert players have a very clear perception of each other's strength.

After the release of Tekken, the club also organized players with desert island equipment to conduct a confrontation-the result did not change the comparison of strength in virtual world fighting.

So these 13 people are very sure: Among the remaining 128 contestants, the remaining 31 [Fight Club members], no matter which one they encounter, they have a probability of defeat of more than 90%.

However, the probability of defeating all of them and advancing to the top three to get the bonus is too slim, almost impossible.

So give up, don't feel bad at all.

This group of people is strong enough, and in reality they are basically Lianjiazi.

It's just that some people learn traditional kung fu from masters in martial arts gyms, while others learn modern martial arts from coaches.

And there is one thing in common between them, that is, they especially like the fighting style of punching to the flesh.

So after entering Chang'an, most of them looked at the swords at their waists, and stuffed them into the armament boxes without any hassle.

When the robbers appeared, they also chose to fight with bare hands.

And this is undoubtedly very unwise!

Especially [Fist Kung Fu Body (Entry Level)], except for a little increase in physical fitness, it can hardly provide them with any help.

Because their own technology has already surpassed the entry-level assistance level!

The result was that there was no suspense and he fell to the ground with serious injuries.

After that, half of the people gave up and began to use swords according to the system's arrangement, while the other half directly contacted the forging masters of the [Blacksmiths Guild] after entering Chang'an, intending to pick up a pair of metal wrist guards and gauntlets for themselves. Can you improve your combat effectiveness?

...

After Yunmeng staff noticed the posts in the forum, someone has already discussed in the group:

These people are too stubborn, why don't you add a [Ceremonial Glove] that blocks sharp weapons to the game and help them?

The problem is that if you add this, it's not just them, everyone will want it.

And are you sure they wear gloves on their hands, not tucked into their chests as breastplates? Or around their necks to keep them from being beheaded?

Ah... this... The proposer fell into deep thought.

Think about it later, don't think about work today, just relax. Qin Songyun effervescently said.

——When the operation team of Iron Fist was uncomfortable, the development and operation teams of Chang'an were cheering.

Sales celebration posters followed one after another, the media kept shouting like they had never seen the world, and the online rate of players continued to rise.

With such a great momentum, how could they not be excited?

In the office group, Lin You has started spreading red envelopes again—in fact, Xiaomeng is spreading red envelopes.

When Lin You and Xiao Meng were lying on the small sofa watching the live broadcast, Xiao Meng would suddenly grab two handfuls of red envelopes with both hands from time to time and happily throw them into the sky.

So Lin You knew: the sales volume of Chang'an reached another one million.

He was actually a little puzzled by this.

The game Chang'an has a pure ancient Chinese background, and it sold well in Daxia, which was what he expected.

But for overseas, the cultural barrier should be very serious.

Unlike the previous games, it basically has a modern background, and it can be brought in without pressure, regardless of the East or the West.

However, the background of the Tang Dynasty, food, clothing, housing, transportation, culture and history are all very different from Western culture.

Lin You believes in the quality of the game and has sufficient confidence in sales.

But in his expectation, this should be a relatively slow process.

The first wave first brought in big summer players, then players from the East Asian cultural circle and a small number of Western players, and finally relied on word of mouth and player social circles to attract all overseas players on a large scale.

But this is not the case at all.

A large number of overseas players pre-ordered Chang'an before it was released on the shelves - Lin You can understand that these are all fanatical game lovers, or loyal fans of Yunmeng.

But after the release, the explosion in sales surprised him a bit.

So far, overseas players even account for more than half of the sales of Chang'an!

This is quite surprising!

He thought and thought, but he could only think of one reason: probably because of the particularity of this era of [Datang].

As the most prosperous dynasty in Chinese history, the Datang Dynasty is not a completely unfamiliar era to overseas players.

In particular, the Tang Dynasty before and after the prosperous Kaiyuan period was almost at the leading level in the world in terms of culture and military affairs, and had a great influence overseas.

As a result, Tang has become the synonym of overseas countries for China, not only the synonym of the country, but even everything related to China is called Tang.

People are naturally Chinese people. The streets where Chinese people live are Great Tang Street.

Facing such a prosperous and powerful dynasty at its peak, who would not be interested?

Just like the players of Great Xia, they will also be very interested in talking about the ancient Roman Empire in its heyday and the most powerful eighteenth dynasty in ancient Egypt.

They may not be willing to read the corresponding history books, but a well-made virtual reality game with this background, they must be very happy to visit.

Thinking of this, Lin You rubbed Xiaomeng's head and said, Show me the situation of overseas anchors.

Yeah, no problem!

With a wave of Xiaomeng's little hand, the screens of anchors familiar to Lin You were shrunk and moved to one side, while the center was occupied by overseas anchors.

At the center is the live broadcast room of Ivan Ivanov and Turner.

Probably because of their unfamiliarity with the background of the game, the two of them didn't engage in any showy operations, and obediently followed the mission plot.

After being detained by the Second Miss of the Chen family, she also entered the Chen residence.

But when the second lady asked them about Jianghu stories, both of them were a little confused.

'The rivers and lakes? what is that? '

They were a little confused by Guang Yunmeng's translation and explanation of the word.

To Turner, it seems to be a story of a group of knights without knight status walking among the people, punishing bad guys, helping good guys, and occasionally fighting each other.

For Ivan, it was even more difficult to understand, Does it mean... the story of the Cossacks helping the serfs chop up the bandits?

With such a serious deviation, it is obviously difficult to tell a good story.

This is not a serious problem. When the development team was designing, they didn't expect every player to be a martial arts fan and be able to tell martial arts stories.

The favorability of the second lady is not the only way to improve it by telling stories.

Visiting her often, giving her some small gifts, and talking about the things I encountered in Chang'an City can also increase her favorability.

Just not so fast.

So after stumbling and reluctantly telling a story, the two of them were not stayed by the second lady, and left Chen's mansion after having a meal to continue the following plot.

When Lin You looked over, the two had already found Uncle Yuanfang and entered the mission line of Jiaofang Division.

Facing the task handed over by the NPC, they accepted it naturally and followed their uncle into the Jiaofang Division to find clues.

However, Iwan was a little dazed when he saw Yunmeng's notes for [Jiaofang Division]:

Families of criminal officials? Shouldn't these people be exiled to grow potatoes in Siberia?

Can you still live and work in such a luxurious place?

He looked at the exquisite and gorgeous interior environment of the Jiaofang Division, and was a little puzzled.

The profession of prostitution was completely legal in Tsarist Russia. Although it is illegal in Russia today, the punishment is light, and there are not a few people who engage in it, at least millions of people.

In the environment where Ivan lives, not many people discriminate against practitioners of customs.

So much so that when this distant uncle told him how miserable the women here are, it was really difficult for him to feel sympathy...

Even if Ivan is like this, players from Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, Greece and other countries where sex trafficking is completely legal, the sense of violation is even stronger...
