Let you make games, you directly shoot blockbusters?

"Huh? Where is my pet?"

After walking a certain distance and preparing to attack, Ouyang Xiao suddenly reacted and looked around in confusion.

The pet pig that was supposed to be by her side disappeared at some point, leaving her alone as a bare-bones hunter.

"It's strange. After defeating the boss just now, he was still next to me. Is he still up there?"

Ouyang Xiao turned around and looked at the high platform that was far away, but didn't see his pet pig. He immediately clicked the pet summoning skill several times.

[The number of pets has reached the upper limit. 】

[The number of pets has reached the upper limit. 】

[Number of pets...]

A series of prompts popped up, showing that her pet was still alive and there was no way to summon a second one.

"Is there a bug?"

The voice of teammates rang in the voice.

"Maybe it was because the terrain was stuck and he didn't jump down with us."

"It's really rare to find a bug in a prehistoric game."

"It's normal for some problems to occur during the public beta. It's good to have one after such a long time."

"Why don't you dismiss me and try summoning me again?"

Yes!

Dismissed and summoned again!

After being reminded by them, Ouyang Xiao's eyes lit up and he was ready to dismiss the pets.

But at this moment.

A pink figure appeared in the distance, running towards them with cheerful hooves.

Ouyang Xiao took a closer look.

Isn't this the pet that disappeared?

Suddenly he was overjoyed.

"pig……"

Before the words came out of her mouth, she froze.

Then, suddenly, he turned pale.

Because behind her Piggy No. 2, there was a large group of mobs, densely packed together, approaching them quickly.

"Hiss! So many little monsters!"

"What's going on? Copy mechanism?"

"This is too much. I'm afraid half of the monsters in the dungeon have been pulled over, right?"

"No, it doesn't seem to be a mechanism, it's because the pet can't jump to the high platform and takes a detour into the monster pile!"

"Hahaha... the pets pulled all the monsters along the way."

"I'm laughing so hard, I'm just pulling a train here."

"I would like to call you a train... No, Fire Pig King!"

"Pig 2: Master, look at the gift I brought you."

"It's over, it's over, Barbie's done."

After being stunned, the audience in the live broadcast room quickly reacted and burst into laughter.

Ouyang Xiao and the other four teammates turned green, looking at the tidal army of monsters in shock.

"Stop standing still and run!"

The teammate who reacted first yelled, ran away, and headed straight for the entrance to the dungeon.

Others woke up when they saw this and hurriedly followed.

However.

Their speed is no match for the mobs.

When Ouyang Xiao looked back while escaping, he saw that Zhuzhu No. 2 and the army of monsters behind him were already behind his butt, and he was almost scared out of his wits.

"ah--"

"No! Don't follow me, go away!"

Screams continued to echo in the live broadcast room.

No matter how she shouted, Zhuzhu No. 2 stuck to her like a dog-skin plaster, spinning around her as if asking for credit.

finally.

Except for the orc warrior who ran away first.

The remaining four people were all overwhelmed by the mobs, and their health levels instantly bottomed out.

[You have died. Do you want to release your soul to the nearest cemetery? 】

Ouyang Xiao stared blankly at the gray-white screen, his face turning blue and purple, and he cursed madly across the screen.

See this scene.

The audience couldn't stop laughing.

"That's so f*cking."

"A murder caused by a pet."

"Honghuang's game really didn't disappoint me."

"Zhuzhu No. 2 has four kills!"

"The show's effect is explosive."

"Just say you are not suitable to play hunter anymore?"

After this wave of operations, the popularity of the live broadcast room completely exploded.

Many viewers even uploaded the screen recording online and spread it to the game group, which further added to the popularity of the game.

…

"Two million are online?"

Penguin and Shengqu headquarters.

The senior executives of the game department, who have been paying attention to the MMO market trends, soon learned the online rate of players in "World of Warcraft" through various means.

In one week, the number of online players exceeded 2 million.

The momentum is actually close to that of "Oracle", which has the support of foreign reputation, and has directly surpassed Penguin's "Swordsman" and PC games released by other manufacturers.

Much higher than their initial expectations.

But it's okay.

With two million people online, at most it would just be a tug of war with them.

The final winner or loser still has to compete with each other's long-term operational capabilities and ability to respond to emergencies.

This is just the beginning.

It depends on who can't stand it first.

"In this tug-of-war, what is most needed is publicity resources and manpower. Whoever runs out of resources first, or whose manpower cannot keep up with the maintenance speed, will definitely lose popularity and be slowly cannibalized by other games."

"When it comes to resource competition, we penguins have no fear of anyone."

After this period of vigorous promotion, the online rate of "Swords and Swords" has also increased to more than 1.5 million.

Coupled with the fact that several other recently released PC games have become mutually anxious, no one game has shown an absolute advantage.

One wrong step.

It is possible to end up in a situation where everything is lost.

This has also caused major manufacturers to work hard to increase promotion resources and occupy as much MMO market share as possible.

to this end.

Lao Song, who had been paying attention to this matter, quickly found Chen Lin.

"I just took a look and found that many manufacturers have increased their investment in publicity and distribution. Do we want to follow suit?"

This is what Lao Song is most afraid of.

Although Honghuang has accumulated a lot of funds, it is still a drop in the bucket compared to large consortiums such as Penguin, Shengqu, and Juqing that have been in business for more than ten years.

Once stuck in a long-term tug of war.

They were afraid that they would even have to invest their capital.

Even if it succeeds in occupying the market, the gains will not be worth the losses.

But they were unwilling to give up the situation they had finally managed to maintain.

"Just double the announced funds. There is no need to compete with them for assets." Chen Lin sat in his seat and thought for a while before saying.

He is not yet confident enough to compete for assets with big manufacturers like Penguin.

After all, they are backed by countless capital, and they are just a single family in the early days.

Lao Song obviously knew this, and nodded: "This is the only way to go."

After that, he turned around and left, going outside to arrange work.

…

A blink of an eye.

Another two days passed.

After this period of brewing and fermentation, we finally arrived at the weekend when players are most active.

Major manufacturers have stepped up their publicity efforts, with overwhelming game advertisements all over the Internet, and various major anchors trying out live broadcasts.

Even on major short video platforms, there are various videos about MMO games.

What do you mean by pulling and suppressing? First, criticize the game for how rubbish it is, win players' recognition, and then follow the trend to say how good a certain game is.

Or just start boasting, and the light of various epoch-making new gameplay and big engine MMO will just blow the game to the point where it should only exist in the sky and not exist on the ground.

In short, only you can't think of it, but they can't do it.

It can be said that they will do anything for publicity.

Although the methods are somewhat despicable, that's how the market is.

Under such overwhelming publicity, the popularity of games from major companies such as Penguin Shengqu has soared, with online rates all soaring to more than 2 million.

The first release of "Oracle" is approaching 5 million!

It leaves the ancient "World of Warcraft" far behind.

This situation immediately made these manufacturers proud.

"Sure enough, when it comes to resources, we are still a little too young, and we can no longer hold on so quickly."

"I see many people online saying that their game is too difficult, and they play other games within half an hour."

"Is it not difficult? I went to try it out. The monster values ​​in the novice stage have seriously overflowed, which affects the player experience. It's strange that there are people playing this kind of game."

"It just so happens that we have taken over their players."

There is nothing human about business competition.

Seeing that the stamina of prehistoric PC games cannot keep up, other manufacturers can't help but step in to show off the excellence of their own games.

Penguin's top management, who had suffered losses at the hands of the prehistoric people, laughed proudly.

However.

Are things really as they imagined?

"What's going on? This game is so boring to play."

In a rental house.

A certain social worker who had just taken a vacation muttered doubtfully to the "Oracle" in front of the computer.

He had just been persuaded by the difficulty of "World of Warcraft" and immediately switched to this game.

But the strange thing is.

No matter how he plays, it's not fun.

Even if you have all kinds of gorgeous skills in your hands, you can make a big picture every second, but you can't feel the joy in it at all.

It’s as if what fell instantly was not a monster.

But they are like a bunch of wooden people.

after.

He switched to several new client games that were highly praised online, but the result was still the same.

"Am I electronically ED?"

The young man picked up his phone and turned on the front camera, doubting himself.

But the problem is that he is only less than thirty years old. It is when he is most energetic and he likes this kind of games the most.

How could it be ED?

Just thinking about it.

On the phone, a game group message suddenly popped up.

"Brothers, I'm going back to playing World of Warcraft again. Is anyone with me?"

The young man glanced at the originator of the message, who was the MMO boss in the group.

And just like him, he had just been persuaded to give up by the difficulty of "World of Warcraft". He even cursed the game as trash in the group, and then changed to another game.

Only half a day has passed.

Why did you run back again?

"Good fellow, are you afraid that you are ill?"

"Who was yelling about trash games this morning?"

"Haha, did you go back to play World of Warcraft too?"

"Also? Are you playing World of Warcraft now, you idiot?"

"Yeah, I don't know why, but after playing other games for a while, I suddenly found World of Warcraft to be very interesting. Now my teammates and I are pecking at each other with the little weirdo."

"Damn it, I feel that way too, I was just about to say."

"What the fuck? So you all feel this way?"

The originally silent game group suddenly became lively.

Then they were shocked to find that the reason why they couldn't play other games was because they were forced to quit by "World of Warcraft"!

Although this game is a bit more difficult.

But it really feels like fighting monsters and going on adventures.

Unlike other games where you play all the way for seconds, then you press the space button frantically to hand over tasks, and then continue for seconds, you will feel sleepy after playing for a long time.

The most important thing.

It’s the social chat attribute of this game!

Because of the difficulty of the game, many players go to the chat channel to find teammates to level up together, or they cause various oolong incidents of being chased by mobs, exploding equipment when fighting an elite monster, and sharing mission strategies. kind.

It made the entire chat channel extremely lively.

All kinds of bragging and gossiping.

And several other competing products.

However, because the upgrade pace is too fast and the task process is single and does not require discussion, the chat channel only has some game announcements and sporadic news, which looks lifeless.

Game atmosphere!

It’s the game atmosphere that’s different!

The young social worker who was checking the group chat messages suddenly realized why he was not interested in playing other games.

Surprised, he quickly closed the game and returned to the desktop.

After seeing the circular icon with a W in the middle, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, I didn't uninstall it."

Just double-click the icon to open the game.

I don't know why, but this time his mood when logging into the game was a little different from before.

There seems to be a little...expectation?

Just thinking about it.

The game lights up.

The necromancer he created before came into view.

[Three-season rice-Tribe]

Without stopping, click Start to enter the game, and finally return to the familiar Undead novice village, Deathstroke Town.

"Level 1 Necromancer, are you doing the mission upgrade together?"

"The novice leveling team is missing a tank."

"Is this the birthplace of the undead? The atmosphere is so strong!"

"Haha, I just met a big enemy outside. The elite monster beat him to death."

"A great injustice? Is it as miserable as the one in the news today, where you were cheated out of a house when you got married?"

"I've seen the news too, and I can only say that the licking dog deserves it!"

"Why don't you go to level up and chat about sex?"

As soon as he stood still, countless messages flooded into the chat channel.

The extremely lively scene finally made him truly feel the charm of this game, and he felt proud.

"My three-crop rice will definitely become famous in Azeroth!"
