Chapter 184 Penguin Fails For The First Time

Zhao Yongming is staring at the new version of Happy Farm on Envision Technology’s Weichat. Originally, he didn’t care much about this so-called new version. He will launch the latest version within [-] hours of going online. What good things come out?In such a short period of time, it is impossible to make any changes.

Colleagues in the entire Koukou Fishery Business Department are also paying close attention to the movement of Happy Farm, for fear that Happy Farm will come up with some hidden trump card and suddenly break their just-started victory, but Zhao Yongming comforts everyone in front of everyone : "Don't worry everyone, it is impossible for Envision Technology to make any major changes in such a short period of time. Our Koukou Fishing Farm has such a good momentum. In my opinion, it can catch up with Happy Farm in terms of registered users and online users. , it will only take a week at most, if it is quick, three days will be enough!"

In three days, it was time to catch up with Happy Farm, which had already become a miracle. If it really came true, then the penguins would create an even more remarkable miracle. Zhao Yongming's confidence and optimism infected everyone, and everyone broke out like a gladiator. No fighting spirit, no one took the initiative to leave work, waiting to see the Koukou Fishing Farm continue to create miracles.

Zhao Yongming looked at the time, it was [-]:[-], he was supposed to get off work after [-]:[-], but no one in the entire business department had left, and he couldn't help but said: "Except for the colleagues who are called to stay and work overtime, other You can go back and take a good rest."

Colleagues who were not required to work overtime said: "We want to witness the success of Koukou Fishing Farm, not only until the new version of Happy Farm is launched, but also until [-] o'clock in the evening, because that is [-] hours after the Koukou Fishing Farm goes online. Node, we all want to witness with our own eyes what kind of miracles everyone has created within twelve hours of nodes!"

Seeing that everyone was so united, Zhao Yongming laughed a few times and said, "Everyone, today is just the beginning, and the days of our miracles are yet to come."

As he said that, he stood up, took out his wallet, took out 1000 yuan, handed it to his assistant, and said, "Go to the Hong Kong-style tea restaurant opposite our building and order some food and refreshments, as big as possible."

The assistant took the money, shook the cash in his hand, and said loudly to the colleagues around him: "Everyone, Mr. Zhao, please have tea! Tell me what you want, and I'll order it!"

Colleagues in the entire business department were even more excited, cheering with excitement.

At this time, Ma Huateng walked in and asked everyone with a smile, "Why are you so happy?"

Zhao Yongming's assistant smiled and said, "Mr. Ma, Mr. Zhao said he would invite everyone to dinner."

Ma Huateng nodded and said with a smile: "Koukou Yuchang has achieved such good results, he should treat everyone to dinner, everyone work hard, work hard for this week, on Friday I will treat your entire business department to a big dinner!"

The crowd cheered again, Zhao Yongming smiled and asked Xiao Ma: "Mr. Ma, are you still off work?"

"No." Ma Huateng said, "I'm here to check on your situation. Didn't the other Happy Farm say that a new version will be updated at eight o'clock? I want to see."

Zhao Yongming nodded, looked at the watch on his wrist, and said, "There are still 10 minutes..."

……

Many Happy Farm users are also waiting for the update of Happy Farm at this moment. They want to know what changes Envision Technology will bring to the game in such a short period of time.

As soon as eight o'clock arrived, almost all users, competitors, and peers in the industry refreshed Happy Farm in front of their computers. They couldn't wait to see what kind of changes Envision Technology Weichat could make this time.

Happy Farm was originally a god-level game, but unfortunately, it was followed by Penguin, the only one capable of operating this kind of game. At this critical moment, if Envision Technology can continue to prosper, there will be another major update, I'm afraid it has really created a myth, and there is a chance that the Koukou Fishing Farm will die; but if this update is too thunderous and rainy, and has no real meaning at the player level, then it will be a bit out of proportion , I am afraid that it will be difficult to win the Koukou Fishing Ground in the future.

At exactly eight o'clock at this moment, countless curious users refreshed and reloaded the game materials, and immediately found that the game had a new system prompt, but at this time, no one had realized that Envision Technology would give How has this game changed.

The user first discovered that there was an additional cartoon station at the entrance of his farm, with four red sticky notes on it. After clicking on it, he found that there were four orders, all of which came from the system, but the system used anthropomorphic To describe the four orders, for example: the first task some users see is that the flour mill in the small town needs fifty units of wheat, twenty units of corn, and ten units of sweet potatoes, The time limit for the order is 8 hours, and the reward is 1200 gold coins, 150 experience points, one random item, and 5 coupons.

Users who often play this game can figure out how cost-effective this task is with a little calculation. First of all, if the same unit of items is sold to the system, they can only be sold for less than 80 gold coins, and the system gives 150 gold coins. It is equivalent to about 10% more, which is very attractive. What's more, 150 experience is also very rare. If you plant a piece of crops for an hour, you can get about [-] experience. Therefore, you can get extra by selling things. [-] experience, more cost-effective.

As for the random props, it is easy to understand. A game prop is randomly given, but it is a bit confusing to count coupons. What is a coupon?

At this time, the coupons on the interface flicker, and the user clicks in, and the introduction of coupons pops up immediately. It turns out that coupons are also a kind of game currency, but it is a separate system, which is different from gold coins and RMB. There are three sets of game currency rules in the entire game, and what this coupon can be used for will be further introduced next.

Click the next step, and the introduction of the hunting dog will appear. How to buy a kennel, how to buy a dog, what are the uses of a dog, and how to feed them are presented to the player in great detail.

Happy Farm players are crazy!
My God, the game seems to be more interesting all of a sudden!You can do tasks, you can get more gold coins, experience, props, and even more hunting dogs. Everyone has been worrying about being stolen by others all day long. Now that you have hunting dogs, this is simply not so cool!Not only can it reduce the success rate and quantity of friends who come to steal vegetables, but it can also bite off gold coins from him, which is simply a magic weapon!
Everyone was ecstatic, and saw the next step prompts, the prompts are interlocking, and the next step is to go back to the original station, introducing that the station can accept missions, and accept missions to get special currency - click Coupons, now it's time to go back and talk about how to do the task of the station.

In theory, anyone can do the task at the station, but the key is that if you want to do this task, you must first buy a truck of your own.

The most basic truck can be bought with in-game gold coins, 58888 gold coins, although it is a bit more expensive, but depending on its earning power, it will take a few days to earn back the money, not to mention the experience and props , Coupons.

Therefore, almost all users with enough gold coins in their accounts bought trucks immediately.

After purchasing the truck, the blue one-box truck hopped to the station. The picture was very cartoony and very interesting. At this time, another item suddenly flashed on the screen: beside the farm station, an image of a small wooden container appeared, and the small container was shining with golden light, attracting the attention of all players. At this time, the system popped up again. Tip: "Did you know? From now on, you can put your items on the shelves, sell them to your friends, or go to your friend's home to buy what you need."

When the user clicks on the small wooden container, a double-layer grid will pop up on the screen. There are five in each layer, and there are ten in total. The user can click on any of the grids to list the products in his warehouse arbitrarily. The number of products on each grid No more than twenty, that is to say, a group of at most twenty can be sold in stores.

In addition, users can also customize the price of the product, but the price range has an upper limit, the highest can only be sold to 150% of the system's recovery price, and the lowest can be marked with 1 gold coin.Except for paid items that cannot be traded, others can be traded. At the bottom of the container, there are a series of small avatars and nicknames. These are all the user's friends. container to see what he's selling.

At this moment, almost all the players cheered excitedly. In this way, the game is much more fun!Not only are there missions and hunting dogs, but the most important thing is that the connection between players and friends has suddenly strengthened. In the past, good friends could only steal food and help out. It was impossible to have more in-depth interaction. , It’s different now, now friends can help each other, what I lack for tasks, you can give me if you have; what you lack, if I have, I’ll give you, or if we don’t have what the other needs , and you can also help to keep an eye on it when visiting a friend's store.

Boys and girls playing this game will never worry about not having the opportunity to express themselves. If the goddess needs something, immediately put it on the shelves at the lowest price, and then let the goddess buy it back with the price of a gold coin, and quickly help the goddess to improve experience, level, and funds. You can also help and reciprocate with the goddess, and the fun of the game has increased a lot.

The technology department of Envision Technology is surrounded by people from the whole company, and everyone is staring at the data of the new version of the game. At 10:58888, 100 minutes after the new version was released, more than 1000 million minivans of 400 were purchased. After all, it is a game with more than 60 million daily active users. At this time, there are more than [-] million people online, and there are hundreds of thousands of people who have not bought a pickup truck. More than [-]% of them are due to insufficient gold coins.

So, the game suddenly became lively!

Users who have the money to buy a car immediately started to do tasks desperately. Now everyone’s station has only four tasks at the same time, and the tasks are updated every eight hours. That is to say, if the user does not complete within eight hours, Or if the task is not completed, then all tasks will be reassigned after eight hours, and the unfinished task will be wasted.

Users who have no money to buy a car start to sell all kinds of things, take all the things in the warehouse to the store for sale, and even start to find their friends and ask them to help them pay some money. Although the game cannot directly allow users to trade gold coins , but players can save the country by selling things at a low price to their friends, and the friends sell them at the original price. This seems like a bug, but it is a back door specially left by Ye Feng for players, so that they can find the psychological satisfaction of bypassing the rules .

In addition to doing tasks and saving money to buy a car, users have also received a free trial hunting dog, but here comes the problem, a dog needs a kennel, the kennel is very cute, and there are many styles to choose from. The cheapest one needs 6888 gold coins, and the most An expensive ultra-luxury kennel even costs 20 gold coins. Therefore, some users with gold coins immediately bought a kennel and successfully received a trial hunting dog. The pressure of having no money is huge, and they desperately grow vegetables, sell things, and find friends. Help, save money to buy a car and a kennel.

Such a major change, so that the nature of this game has completely changed at once, and the whole Happy Farm is like boiling water, boiling extremely!
At this moment, in the Koukou Fishing Farm Business Department, the audience was completely silent, in sharp contrast to the enthusiastic atmosphere that almost overturned the roof just now. Everyone looked at the computer in front of them dumbfounded, and a surge of deep despair...

A strong competitor is indeed hopeless.

Especially this update of Happy Farm seems to have opened Pandora's box, making all users fascinated by it again. The interaction and bond between players has been upgraded by this update. The old version of the old version has brought a crushing transcendence, not to mention that it is still imitating the old version of Happy Farm's Koukou Fishing Farm?

Whether Ma Huateng or Zhao Yongming, they were all overwhelmed by the upgrade of Happy Farm. In desperation, they all had a thought in their hearts: Who made the products of Envision Technology?Who is the real product manager?Why does he have such surprising and stunning product designs?

Just when everyone was surprised and desperate, the data of the Koukou fishery began to plummet.

Online users are constantly losing. After getting familiar with all the new functions of Happy Farm, a large number of users abandoned Koukou Yuchang without hesitation and devoted themselves to the new gameplay of Happy Farm.

At this time, a lot of user feedback appeared on the Internet. Everyone praised the upgrade of Happy Farm on the Internet. Said on the Internet: Happy Farm is still awesome. Penguin imitated it and created a Koukou Fishing Farm. After about ten hours, they immediately came up with an updated version and directly killed the Koukou Fishing Farm. Low-end, low-quality imitation games, I don’t care about playing them. It’s a fucking embarrassment to play that game. If any friends around me play this game, they will break up immediately.

Similar remarks quickly flooded the entire network, and aroused a large number of users' support and responses. Now everyone seems to have forgotten the harm caused by Happy Farm's charging. To Happy Farm, and at this time, they began to look at the emergence of Koukou Fishing Farm from the perspective of Happy Farm. Deliberately using topics to guide people's minds to spurn the Koukou fishing ground, the masses can easily be brought into this emotion.

Of course, all of this was arranged by Ye Feng. He always made troubles to his enemies and competitors.

The new version of Happy Farm is setting off an upsurge on the Internet. The mood of everyone in the Koukou Fishing Farm business department suddenly fell to the bottom. The feeling from the cloud to the bottom is so sour and refreshing. I was beaten to the eighteenth floor of hell, and my heart was disheartened.

At this time, Zhao Yongming's assistant came in with a few waiters from the tea restaurant, carrying a lot of food, and the assistant shouted excitedly to everyone: "Students, dinner is ready! Mr. Zhao invited you today!" This meal is very rich, and it’s fast and slow!”

I thought that after saying this sentence, my colleagues would cheer and swarm up to grab the food, but I didn't expect that everyone present was indifferent and just looked at him with ashen faces, including Zhao Yongming, Mahua Teng, this made him feel hairy.

What routine?
When I went out just now, all the people in the business department were still in high spirits. Why did they all look like this in less than an hour?What happened?
Zhao Yongming coughed twice at this time, and said to everyone: "Let's not be affected by the opponent, we still have to eat what we should eat, everyone hurry up and eat."

No one took the initiative to respond to Zhao Yongming, and no one took the initiative to go forward to get the food. The assistant was very surprised, but he could only let the few clerks who delivered the food leave the food first, and then asked Zhao Yongming: "Mr. , what do you want to eat? There are barbecued pork rice, roast goose, beef balls..."

Zhao Yongming waved his hand: "I don't have an appetite, so I won't eat."

The assistant's facial muscles twitched involuntarily, thinking that you just asked everyone to eat, why didn't you want to set an example?
With Zhao Yongming's performance, those hungry employees didn't dare to think about eating any more. They could only endure and let the pile of food give off an attractive aroma.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, no one has touched the refreshments and meals we bought. At this time, Happy Farm has more than 800 million simultaneous online users, and the poor Koukou Yuchang's online users have dropped to less than 50. According to the feedback from background monitoring, among the less than 50 online users, more than 15 have not performed any operations within half an hour. page only.

Zhao Yongming lost his face, and Ma Huateng kept watching the direction of the data without saying a word, until he couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "Let's stop here today, I'll go first."

Zhao Yongming blurted out: "Mr. Ma, we can also follow up and develop these functions. I will organize a meeting tomorrow to discuss and see how long it will take to design and develop these functions."

Ma Huateng said: "If you lose the first round, if you still imitate them, it will be very difficult to survive. They obviously have technical reserves and development reserves. If we follow other people's buttocks, it is impossible to outplay them. Yes, but they continue to develop new features and let users spend more time and energy in the game, making it even more difficult for us to touch their foundation."

"Our company has a lot of cash now. You should hurry up and do the things I arranged. Happy Farm is on fire, and it's just a casual game with a limited lifespan. Koukou users won't give up on Koukou because of the failure of Koukou Fishing Farm this time. .”

"For users, Happy Farm is just a game. There are many popular games on the market, and there are countless netizens. Users always choose which game is fun and which one to play. Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhao Yongming hurriedly replied: "President Ma, I understand that as long as Koukou develops an alternative and popular game, users will naturally come back."

After Ma Huateng nodded, he shook his head and said: "Games are games, and Koukou releases more useful functions for users is the fundamental to retain Koukou users."

"Okay, I'm going back."

Ma Huateng sighed in his heart. One wrong step, one wrong step. At that time, Paipai.com should have given up on expanding the storage and transshipment center when it was half dead. Although it made money, it was a waste of time. At that time, Ye Feng should start to organize micro chat , Happy Farm should be developed at the same time as Weichat.

The market is really changing rapidly.
