Section 01 Revenue

Africa.

In a small hotel in Ethiopia, Chen Zheng was sitting next to his computer and talking to the "Treasury Department" far away on the deserted star.

"War of the Insect" is priced at RMB 98 in Asia and US$34.99 in Europe and America.

As an independent game, it is a good result to be able to sell more than 30,000 copies at such a price. But if you look at it as a major game manufacturer, it is almost certain that this new work cannot even recover the cost.

However, it is different from the independent games that are niche and long-term sales, and it is also different from the 3A masterpieces that have been frequently paid attention to by the media since the beginning of development and will directly reach the sales list as soon as they are launched.

"The War of Elimination" is like the beginning of many legends. With reputation and excellent qualities, it has airborne the top 50 sales list of the Steam Platform this week without any advertisements! And the ranking is still rising at a rocket-like speed!

Although this is related to the fact that there is no major release recently, whoever sees the sales curve of "War of the Insect" will feel frightened - it is rising straight at an angle of nearly 90 degrees!

"... Uploaded 307 copies sold on the same day, 1323 copies sold the day before yesterday, 5598 copies sold yesterday, and today 27971 copies sold before the meeting, with a total income of more than 877,000 US dollars. Calculated at the current exchange rate, it is equivalent to more than 5.78 million yuan..."

More than 30,000 copies were sold in four days and earned more than 5.78 million yuan. Faced with such results, Chen Zheng did not express surprise, but just nodded to show that he knew.

No matter how much money is, it cannot make Chen Zheng feel happy or greedy. Just like his adopted father Chen Liming, he does not value money very much, and his requirements for quality of life are also extremely important - having food, clothing, and being able to immerse himself in his hobbies, that's enough.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Zheng became an alien among his classmates - he ate pancakes and wore a set of street stalls that cost 100 yuan from head to toe. He went to hiking and skiing to practice boxing whenever he had time. He also followed his butt with a special nutritionist and coach. He usually took off Rolex to play with him if he had nothing to do...

...The most important thing is that he always likes to tell the truth.

How can this make ordinary classmates make friends with him?

Because of Chen Zheng's indifference to money, according to his original intention, he wanted to directly take out the Viking fighter system that was trained for a small hour to make it into a flight simulation game, and then download it in a free form. Finally, by setting up a bonus, we can find people from the players who can be competent for drone pilots.

Dong Jie, Lao Wang and Lao Xia don’t understand games, let alone other aliens. So if nothing unexpected happens, "The War of Insects" will not be like this now.

However, an accident happened.

Tong Xiaoxin is Dong Jie's roommate. Before this, she gave Chen Zheng the impression that she was a girl who always likes to wear a bun and speaks with a slight voice.

Of course, the game is not very confidential. Even all the people on Earth who are in the wilderness have "played" that game - in order to find potential pilots.

When Dong Jie mentioned this matter to Tong Xiaoxin, Tong Xiaoxin suddenly became energetic and secretly had a night of secrets. Finally, he came up with a "draft of revisions" and insisted that Dong Jie hand it over to Chen Zheng.

At first, Dong Jie was naturally unwilling to do so, but she couldn't stand Tong Xiaoxin's soft and hard work, and finally brought Tong Xiaoxin's revision of "The War of Insects" to Chen Zheng's desktop.

Then, "War of the Insect" was born.

In this way, the originally complex flight system of Viking drones, extremely unfriendly and huge amount of information, and various detection instrument usages, etc., are avoided by these things that ordinary people find difficult for a short time.

Although the numerous sensors greatly enhance the battlefield perception capabilities of Viking drones, they also make the amount of information generated exceed the limit that the human brain can process.

The simulated flight games themselves are relatively niche, and with the high operating threshold, it is easy to discourage most interested enthusiasts - you should know that even the pilots trained on the Wilderness Star will be greatly reduced after leaving the supporters, let alone newbies who have just come into contact with Viking drones?

In fact, even a flying genius is still a rookie when he does not meet enough hours of flight. Only after flying for a long enough time and his technical and tactical level rises to a certain level can the geniuses emerge from the vast number of people.

Therefore, the number of audience and the length of game time fundamentally determine the number of pilots that Chen Zheng can notice.

How can players take the initiative to train hard and polish their flight skills?

What Chen Zheng could think of was the incentive of high bonuses. What Tong Xiaoxin thought of was hobbies, competitive spirit and a sense of honor.

"The War of Elimination" was born with this concept.

The initial game goal is naturally to survive. While using various vehicles and weapons to counterattack the bugs, players will begin to gradually understand the Wilderness Star, understand the attack methods and weaknesses of all the bugs, and unknowingly they will gradually become familiar with the battlefield environment on the Wilderness Star.

There will be more and more advanced bugs in the game. No matter how powerful the player develops in the early stage, he will eventually be submerged by the endless sea of ​​insects unless... they can get and skillfully fly Viking drones.

This is what's going on in and out in the late game.

Use powerful Viking drones to deal with the overwhelming flying dragons... When players can emerge from the overwhelming flying dragons, the game should start the next expansion pack.

But for the time being, that's still a story later.

Although the insects on the wild star still harass the base from time to time, with the assistance of Chen Zheng, the super pilot, there is no problem in breaking the Feilong Sea.

"...Once the next expansion pack is turned on, our plan to recruit and train pilots will be launched simultaneously. So, first of all, we need a stable network connection so that the pilot can directly connect to the Tarot server for training simulated flights."

"There is a relatively closed environment, preferably a secret base that can be managed militarizedly to train the discipline of these pilots."

After discussion by Huang Xing's senior management, Dong Jie finally reported the discussion results to Chen Zheng.

"Um..." Chen Zheng had a headache.

A secret base...it's easy to say, but it's hard to do.

Besides, where can Chen Zheng go to find qualified instructors? He can train a group of naughty children who are in the rebellious period to become qualified soldiers... Such instructors are rare than giant pandas.

However, when those naughty children know that they need militarized management, will they still come? Chen Zheng feels it is a bit unreliable no matter how he thinks.

As for killing first and then reporting... it is better not to do anything like tricking people into militarizing management. After all, they have to go to the battlefield after training, the real battlefield.

"In terms of base... I will find a way, but I really can't find an instructor... Huh? Someone?"
