931. Good omen
The academic master in Yang Ming’s dormitory has been having a hard time these days.
Although there were guys in the next dormitory every now and then, students from the same major came to visit the door, but they didn't often, and most of them would just talk nonstop after coming here and wouldn't stay for too long. Especially after the other people in the dormitory ran out for leisure, those guys who visited would not stay for a long time. After all, there were no gaps between academic masters and ordinary young people, but there were definitely not many common topics, and this person was happy. His relationship with the other five roommates in the dormitory was indeed quite good, but it was also a benefit to ensure a quiet study time alone.
But now this situation has changed. Over the past week, even though several other people have stopped their dormitory and go out for group activities, the number of people who come to visit the door has increased. Most people heard that others are not here, and they basically couldn't hide their disappointment and left directly, without saying a polite word to him. However, some people were clearly told that those guys were not there, but they still had to inquire about the matter with him. And the topics these people asked had a common feature - that is, "What is Yang Ming from your dormitory? I heard that there is a cousin who runs a company at home?"
Regarding the situation at Yang Ming’s family, not to mention that he rarely interacts with the other five people, even the other four roommates may not know much. So when facing this kind of question, this person’s answers are naturally unclear. Sometimes he is very suspicious. Even if someone in his family starts a company as a boss, he will not attract so many people to come over to inquire about the situation, right?
He is not the richest man in China. As for this?
So today someone came to inquire about the situation, and asked questions about Yang Ming's family. This person who rarely pays attention to studying has also made up his mind. After Yang Ming and his friends come back, they must figure out how great the other party's family background is. Why do they just come and ask the guy's cousin's people endlessly?
Remember, before Yang Ming came back, two other groups of people came immediately. The group in front of him was actually three girls in the class. The resources of the girls in science and engineering have always been criticized by college perverts. However, although the number of girls in their class was not up to standard, the quality was barely average, and they would not be given the title of dinosaur. Seeing that a girl came to the door on her own initiative, Yang Ming's academic master was also stunned. However, after he figured out the purpose of the other party, his curiosity about Yang Ming's family situation finally reached its peak. In the past, just a boy asked, why are even girls coming now?
Just when he explained to several girls that he had been in the library these days and hadn't met with Yang Ming or a few more people, the second group of people came over, but there was only one, the counselor of Yang Ming and his class. After hearing the conversation between several students in his class, the young counselor who turned around at the door looked suspicious. He thought that some students in his class had caused some trouble. When he came here the day before yesterday, he heard another student in the dormitory talking about "Go to Yang Ming and ask clearly. See what his kid said." As a result, when someone came here today, he found Yang Ming again, which was really puzzled.
He had a little impression of that student. He had a medium-to-high admission score, a good personality, and a little handsome face. But it didn't attract so many followers just because of his appearance, right?
With this suspicion in mind, the young counselor knocked on the door at the door. Seeing the students inside stand up and greeted him slightly with a little restrained attitude, he directly asked several girls: "Why, you are also here to find Yang Ming? For what, can you tell me?"
As a result, the girls who seemed a little restrained when they met their counselor in the boy's dormitory suddenly became even hesitant. Seeing this situation, the counselor couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the little girl lost her self-control after she arrived in college, so she wanted to fall in love? I heard a boy asking Yang Ming before, just for these girls?
Although generally speaking, the school does not have mandatory regulations on students' emotional problems, everyone knows that it is very exciting as soon as the school starts, which is a bit over. If this is the case, that won't work. After Yang Ming and the others come back, they will have to talk to him carefully. As a tutor, he can understand a pure love affair in college, but you can't make the situation so big? If it is passed on to the college leaders, how do you look at these students and how do you look at yourself?
...
Yang Ming didn't know that he had encountered an unpredictable disaster, and he was really shot while lying down. At this moment, he was explaining with a senior brother of molecular materials from an Internet cafe, "It's really not an internal relationship. My cousin takes care of me. This pet is a batch of game gold cards issued by their Yangyi Culture, and the gift packages are given on it. And it is not directly given to the 'god pet', but to be a character first. Not to mention that the task is difficult to pass, and even if it is completed, it may not be a reward like me. Look, my cousin finished the task and the pet he got was just an ordinary bobby. It really depends on luck."
After listening to Yang Ming's explanation, the seniors of molecular materials whom they knew in the Internet cafe because they were playing "Stone Age" together, and then nodded in depression: "So that's how it is!"
However, he shook his head and sighed: "This is not fair. At least you have more chances than us, and you can still try your luck."
However, no matter how emotional he is, he is capable of getting a game card. Who made him not have a relative who runs a game company? So after lying behind Yang Ming and admiring the other party's cool pet for a while, he could only shake his head and return to his seat.
Yang Ming had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the brothers in the dormitory beside him shouting: "Da Yang, come here quickly. I have a task here that I can't get through. Please help me fight this monster!"
Damn, is it that love is using me as a nanny? I have to call me anything! After hearing the roommate’s greeting, Yang Ming suddenly started to wail. As for the pride of getting this pet just the first two days, he had long been thrown out of the sky.
...
"After three days of official public beta, the peak number of real-time online users has now exceeded 110,000. This period occurred at around 6:10 last night. The average number of online users has also reached 70,000. It is basically stable between 5:30 and 10:00 in the evening..." Listening to Zhan Chonghui's report, Yang Yi and Rogo looked at each other and saw a satisfied look in each other's eyes.
But immediately, Rogo immediately regained his nature: "The situation is good, Mr. James, I don't think there is any problem during the public beta during this period. It is mainly to ensure the stable operation of the server. However, our technical team is still relatively strong. The remaining emergency responses in the game and the daily affairs of the department will depend on you. I have confidence in you... Let's do something, I have something to do today, and you two will decide on other issues..."
"What can happen? Brother Luo, remember to go back to the game, right? You are playing games so well. Do your family know?" Yang Yi was still not sure about the fat man's intentions. This guy was silly and insisted that the technical team add a special mission plot during the public beta to meet his request for cheating openly. These days, he has been busy making trouble in the game. Originally, an account could only use a big gift package once, but for the sake of the god-level pet he rewarded, he registered more than 20 accounts. He spent three or four days in the game.
After Yang Yi exposed his care, Rogo had no intention of embarrassment at all. Instead, he smiled with shamelessness: "Since you all know, I don't need to say more, right? Don't worry. I'll play for the past few days, and when the matter in Yuezhou is settled, I won't have time to play anymore." After throwing this sentence, the fat man flashed out with a calm face, leaving behind a black line full of Yang Yi and Zhan Chonghui.
"Dr. Yang, the setting of this game gift package..."
Yang Yi also knew what Zhan Chonghui was worried about, and waved his hand and smiled: "It's nothing, you know. The chance of getting good rewards by doing tasks is actually not high, and it does not affect the balance of the game at all. Besides, after the public beta, we can further fine-tune the data based on the proportion of players who receive the highest reward. Of course, after the official operation, we can no longer change the data casually."
The results of "Stone Age" have far exceeded Yang Yi's expectations. He is not very clear about the specific situation of the online game market in his previous life, but he is very clear that in this pioneering period of online games, any game that can exceed the average number of online users will be considered a successful work. Because there was a survey report on "Legend" in the previous life, which also attached data from several other games of the same period - "Red Moon", "Dragon Clan" and "Millennium", which were once considered a generation of monsters, but they just exceeded the average number of online users of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, and even this number is enough to ensure that the agency is profitable. So "Stone Age" exceeded 60,000 yuan on the first day of the public beta, so what else is not satisfied with?
In addition, he introduced "The Stone Age" into the mainland market, nearly a year earlier than his previous life, and Yangyi Culture also invested at any cost in marketing promotion. Therefore, it can be said that the current "The Stone Age" is the first masterpiece that has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the Chinese online game. Although "The King of Kings" was also tested in the mainland before, because of the lack of agency strength, Yang Yi estimated that the latter was at most similar to the previous life's achievements, and it was definitely not as powerful as the Stone Age.
With this kind of player base comparison, he was so pestered by Rogo that he finally agreed to add such a batch of game gold cards. However, as he said, three thousand gold cards, that is, three thousand accounts that can receive special tasks, and the chance of obtaining god-level pets and artifacts is less than one percent. Even if calculated based on literal understanding, only thirty players can appreciate it. The impact on the entire game environment is completely insignificant.
Well, Fatty Luo cannot be included. This guy has opened more than 20 accounts and then got the divine pet. I have to say that his luck is quite unpredictable.
After hearing Yang Yi say this, Zhan Chonghui no longer cares about anything, although he has a very slight remark about Rogo's approach - how can the boss of the company take the back door for himself and make special in the games he runs? It's too unprofessional. Fortunately, the other party's request was not too excessive, so he just got him a full-level account without saying that. Then he went in and beat the child up, so after Yang Yi said that, he no longer cared about this matter.
After watching Rogo leave, Zhan Chonghui's attention immediately returned to his work: "According to statistics from our operations department, the number of players has always maintained a slow but steady growth, which is an upward parabola. If this momentum can be maintained, then in a week, ten days after the game's official public beta, the total number of registered players can exceed 150,000, and the number of real-time online users during peak hours should reach about 130,000, which means that our server will soon face the second test."
"Is the data prediction reliable?" Yang nodded, but he was not very happy. After all, he had seen the grand occasion of "Legend of Blood" in later generations with 670,000 online at the same time, and even 2.71 million players in "Journey to the West" online at the same time. Although the 130,000 people are also very powerful, they are less shocking after all.
Zhan Chonghui saw Yang Yi facing this kind of performance prediction, which changed to an older boss, might have to jump up and get overjoyed, but he was still calm. Although he had known that his ss was not an ordinary person, he still had a strange feeling, as if he was not facing a child of seventeen or eighteen years old. But he was a monster with a mature and rational soul. But he quickly suppressed this feeling and immediately said: "Absolutely reliable, because what I chose was the most conservative data, which could be achieved 100%. As for how much it could exceed this expectation in the end, we have to see the actual situation at that time."
Yang Yi nodded, but still didn't have many external expressions. He just told the other party indifferently: "This data is indeed good. At least compared to our only competitors now, the situation is pretty good. But there is one thing we must always remember. Before the game is officially charged, no matter how good the results are, you should not take it too seriously. How to convert existing players into paid players as much as possible will require you to worry more about this."
The first thing that "Stone Age" can do is to take advantage of the "King of the Mountain Monster". Although "King of Kings" is ahead of them in the domestic market, because the latter is strictly considered a graphic mud, and the fluency is slightly worse than that of the Stone Age. Moreover, the other party's investment in servers and broadband purchases is far less than that of Yangyi Culture, so the agent may be very satisfied with the current results, but Yang Yi doesn't like it, and even the players don't like it very much. At least the comparison of the number of users the two now has shows this. But even so, boys are not sure about paying to play a game.
If "The Stone Age" is replaced by "Legend", his confidence will be much greater.
Zhan Chonghui also knew this very well, so he quickly restrained his emotions and turned to cautious and solemn: "All our employees of the game department also knew about this, so please rest assured that we will do a good job in this regard."
He came to Yangyi Culture to pursue his career. Now that the boss has built such a broad platform for himself and the external environment is good, how could he not work hard?
...
Yang Yi himself did not have a good feeling about "Stone Age", but it was obvious that the outside world did not think so. Earlier on "Volkswagen IT", when the game marketing promotion was just beginning, there were comments to make some predictions about Yang Yi Culture's actions. However, at that time, everyone's attention was focused on stand-alone games, so it did not cause much discussion.
But when the public beta of "Stone Age" officially began and the first phase of data was spread, many people looked back at the previous report and it felt a bit "prophetic".
But things in the past have caused only limited sensation and are not as good as instant reports. After the latest issue of Computer News, the company released a comprehensive report on the operation of Yangyi Culture in the secondary version of the homepage, the industry has focused more and more attention on this cultural company.
"In view of the layout of the online game market, Yangyi Culture is not the first to take the lead, but it is the most attractive and well-prepared company. At present, we can clearly understand that "King of Kings" is not a rival to "Stone Age". Perhaps in terms of game quality, the difference between the two market responses in Baodao was also seemingly different, but after arriving in the mainland, the gap between them became increasingly larger..."
"Although there are agents of "King of Kings" who are not prepared and are expected to be insufficient in the domestic market, putting aside these superficial factors, let us look deeper into the two game operators, and perhaps we can find more interesting things - when "King of Kings" was officially launched on the public beta, except for those hardcore netizens or senior game fans, it is difficult for ordinary people to get to know the relevant information of this game. But looking at "Stone Age", the first time I learned about this game was when I went home at night and opened QQ, I accidentally discovered the above game promotion advertisement..."
