No wonder he was so shocked.

In today's world, the total number of domestic online game users is only over 3 million, of which about 60% are willing to pay. But the 3 million here includes the total number of users in the entire game market of all game types.

For these 3 million people, countless game companies have fought tooth and nail.

I'm just kidding you, a newcomer...

3500 million registered users? Directly taking up one tenth of the gaming market? Isn’t the ACG world a niche circle?

What kind of plane is this?

You know, Penguin Games' current top turn-based online game "Ask the Heavens" only has 8000 million registered users, but that's a game that has been operating for several years.

The number of active users is now on the decline, with only about six to seven million daily active players.

In just one day, Xingtie directly created a volume of data comparable to Penguin's flagship product.

Are you fucking kidding me?

And this payment ratio...

"How can this be……"

Wu Zhiqun quickly walked to Park Daodong, took the report from his hand and started reading it.

Then, his face turned pale in an instant.

"There are so many ways to get paid currency in this game. What's the point of spending money? Why are players willing to spend money..."

Having worked in the gaming industry for so many years, Wu Zhiqun has never seen anything so counterintuitive.

If a game item can be obtained for free, would players still spend money to buy it?

If the way to obtain Mihoyo currency for free is a gimmick and players have to spend money to buy it, it is understandable that this revenue was created based on its previous popularity.

But the problem is, if it was really a gimmick, players would have started cursing a long time ago.

In other words, Star Iron can really be played for free.

That's not right!

It’s like a store that has put up a sign saying “take it for free”, but customers will still leave money?

You can get it for free, but why do you still spend money? What's the idea behind this...

Players are competing with game planners in a battle of wits and courage, but where has their ability to make careful calculations gone?

Mihoyo knows how to hypnotize? He hypnotized all the players, right?

"Boss Wu... Here's another report. It shows the number of online users of our company's various games. After the launch of StarTie, they have all declined to a certain extent..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhiqun immediately looked up at the other document, his expression becoming even uglier: "How could this be? The audiences are obviously different..."

Is it possible that my judgment was wrong...

After a long silence, Wu Zhiqun still couldn't figure it out, so he could only reluctantly announce the adjournment of the meeting.

He needed some quiet time.

Although, Wu Zhiqun is now very troubled by Mihoyo's "Starry Sky Railway", he wants to pull the ears of his own game players and teach them how to do things in person! Tell them not to play Starry Sky Railway! Keep your wallet and leave it to Penguin!

But for the players.

They don't care what the game companies think.

They are more innocent than you think. If they think a game is fun, they will play it, and if they have spare money, they will support it.

They actually don't care which company the game comes from or where the money they spend goes.

Some players even opened Penguin's "Asking the Way to Heaven" to do today's escort mission right after completing the daily Star Tie mission.

For example, Zhang Chi.

He is a typical rich second generation. His father is in the mining business and his family owns a mine.

However, unlike those young masters who always want to prove themselves and step out of the shadow of their parents, Zhang Chi knows clearly his abilities and is not cut out for business.

His father thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. As he had a son in his old age, he naturally went along with him.

Zhang Chi doesn’t have any hobbies, he just likes playing games.

Chapter 116: Games Are More Than Just Fighting and Killing

Zhang Chi is a game enthusiast who has money and free time.

He has played most of the online games on the market.

Of course, there aren’t many games that he can keep playing.

Penguin’s “Ask the Heavens” is one of them.

The reason is also very simple.

Among similar games, this game has the most players.

And if you spend enough money, it will be more fun to play.

However, Zhang Chi felt that he could add another Starry Sky Railway to his game pool.

He had just heard about the Starry Sky Railway today.

Coincidentally, when he was returning home from work tonight, his car battery was dead and would not start.

After calling for a taxi for a long time but no one came, he had to take the subway, where he happened to meet a Mihoyo employee.

He is the one who excitedly said, "I made 200 million from the game I participated in producing."

At that time, Zhang Chi thought he had met a lunatic. What kind of game could make 200 million in a day?

As a result, when he got home and turned on his computer, he found that everyone in his guild group was talking about the fact that Xingtie's first-day turnover had become a hot topic.

Out of curiosity, Zhang Chi also downloaded Xingtie and decided to try it out himself.

He became addicted to it until the deputy gang leader called him and asked him to go online to catch the divine beast.

Zhang Chi then realized that he had been playing Star Tie for five or six hours straight.

I haven't even had dinner yet.

At first, he was attracted by the exquisite picture quality of Star Rail, the cute and beautiful characters, and the various exotic space scenery. Just looking at them was pleasing to the eyes.

Then, the gameplay, plot, and music of the game, each of them was outstanding, attracting him to continue exploring this unknown sea of ​​​​stars.

What made him happiest was that when he sent a screenshot of Xi'er's 6+5 to the Xingtie game group he had just joined, the group members shouted, "Big brother, please give me a friend status..."

He really can't stop.

……

……

The deputy gang leader waited for a long time, and seeing that Zhang Chi had not come online yet, he quickly called him again to urge him.

"Youdu, why don't you come online? Today, the planners of Wendao updated the seven-color beasts. The attributes are simply invincible. The modeling is also very good. If you buy a special saddle, you can use it as a mount in the main city. Come quickly, the high-level warriors in the Evil Valley are not here today. If you come, we will definitely be able to grab it."

Zhang Chi was not too excited to hear the excited voice on the phone, because he was working with three new friends to clear the second difficulty of the weekly level of Doomsday Beast. They were fighting fiercely, so how could they have the energy to catch any mythical beasts?

But it was not a good idea to refuse directly, so he could only decline politely: "The high-level warriors in the Evil Valley are not here today, so if I go up there, wouldn't that be bullying? I have something else to do here, Lao Feng, please call the other gang members first."

When Lao Feng on the other end of the phone heard this, he said helplessly, "Uh... none of our gang's top fighters are here today. I don't know where they are. Okay, you go ahead and do your work. I'll organize some people to go grab the divine beast."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Chi sighed.

Because he was distracted just now and didn't notice that Xier's virtual time was about to end, he walked directly into the beam shot by Doomsday Beast.

Their pioneering team was wiped out again.

This is not because An Yi set the game difficulty too high, but because this difficulty level 2 was not supposed to be played today. This is for players who have enough experience in the future.

What's more, the attributes of monsters in multiplayer team dungeons have been enhanced to a certain extent.

In addition, it is only the first day of Star Iron, and the number of fuel purchases per day is limited. The development progress of krypton guys is not enough to reach the threshold for easy clearance.

"Not even close. The level suppression is still too severe."

"It would have been great if San Yue Qi's shield could have been renewed..."

"How about three protecting one? We'll send Bailu, Jeppard, and Sanyueqi, and keep Xier, so that he can deal damage alone."

"No, without Dan Heng to help with the weathering, plus the damage reduction due to the level, Xier is alone, and she is a quantum character, so she can't hurt the boss. Besides, I, Bai Lu, haven't practiced much..."

"Shouldn't we go to the Relic Dungeon first to swipe some Relics? I think it will be much easier to fight after we have the equipment."

"I have no more stamina... I can't use it. It's ridiculous that there is a limit on the number of times I can buy stamina with real money."

"Let's try again with the same lineup. I think we can win as long as we dodge that AOE."

In the small strategy group that Zhang Chi had just created, four people were reviewing the game.

The few people who finished the review quickly developed a new tactic and entered the Doomsday Beast's circle again.

Thirty minutes later,

After their repeated attempts, they finally succeeded in defeating Doommon and passed Zhou Ben.

"Damn it, I just created a light cone for the nanny to use, it feels good."

"Fuck, what are you barking about? What are you barking about? I just gave away a few fragments, save them, you can exchange them if you have 200."

"Wuhu, thanks to Youdu for the lead. This dodging skill is so cool."

"You kid, you were knocked down as soon as you entered the dungeon. You're the one occupying the VIP viewing seat."

"..."

Zhang Chi took a can of Coke from the refrigerator, opened it and took a sip, feeling the bubbles bursting on his tongue. While watching his three teammates bragging, he glanced at the large group of Xingtie.

These three people are all silly netizens he met in a large group. The people in the group are talented and speak nicely, and he likes it here very much.

really.

Because they had passed the Doomsday Beast Weekly, which was the second most difficult level, as soon as the three of them posted screenshots of themselves completing the game in the group, many people followed up to ask how they had done it and what lineup they used.

In addition to those who ask about how to pass the level, there are also those who flatter others, saying that they are professional leg pendants with more than ten years of experience, and some are looking for regular teammates.

In short, there were all kinds of comments and it was very lively.

Zhang Chi drank the Coke in one gulp and burped comfortably.

Thinking about the train set's upcoming trip to Yalilo VI, I suddenly became even more excited.

That's a planet. Just thinking about it, you can tell that it is much more interesting than a space station. I wonder what kind of stories will happen there.

This Star Iron is much more interesting than he imagined.

This game guarantees the gaming experience for ordinary players, gives ordinary players hope, and has made many changes around the social aspect.

There is no deliberate attempt to provoke disputes between players, nor is there any fighting between players. Instead, there is more harmonious and friendly mutual help.

This makes the game Star Iron attract a lot of ordinary players.

They are not like ordinary players of "Ask the Heavens", who serve as the background of the game and are easily taken advantage of by the big spenders.

Spend less money on krypton gold, become a monthly card member, or get it for free without spending a penny, players are full of enthusiasm for Star Iron.

Here at Starrail.

Zhang Chi always feels comfortable playing.

He couldn't say exactly where he felt comfortable.

It’s just different from the short, flat and refreshing feeling of every sword hitting you, in Star Iron, all the unintentional details make people feel very comfortable and want to keep playing.

Chapter 117: So, you also play Star Iron?

Three o'clock in the morning.

call--

Zhang Chi yawned, turned off the computer, rubbed his eyes, tried to squeeze out a few tears to make his sore eyes feel better, then picked up his phone to check out Xingtie’s game group.

He had just followed the train into Beloberg and wanted to continue playing. But he looked at the time and felt that it was too late, and the story of Beloberg had just begun. If he really started playing, he didn't know when he would finish.

In order to give himself a complete plot experience, Zhang Chi had the self-control to turn off the computer.
