my return 2002

Chapter 196 Love System
No one answered, but what Shen Lang saw were unconvinced young faces.

Since the World of Warcraft project was established, domestic game circles have been spreading rumors about how awesome World of Warcraft is. In April this year, World of Warcraft US server public beta, even rumors spread: World of Warcraft is invincible.

Whether it is the media, game practitioners, or players, they are all talking about World of Warcraft, but for the team of Jianyujianghu, Jianyujianghu is currently the hottest game in the mainland, and it has repeatedly broken records online. Second, why should their games be overwhelmed by World of Warcraft?

With the army's morale available, Shen Lang nodded in relief. If everyone heard that World of Warcraft was already trembling with fright, there would be no need to fight this battle.

"Although Ninetowns has reached a cooperation intention with Blizzard, it will definitely take some time to formally sign the contract. In addition to the huge world view of World of Warcraft, it will take several months to complete the Chinese translation. In other words, World of Warcraft is likely to There will be no internal testing within this year, and this six months is our chance!"

"I believe everyone knows that the company has officially launched the [Jade Dynasty] project, but making a 3D game takes time to polish, so before [Jade Dynasty] is not online, Jianyu Jianghu is our only hope against World of Warcraft, It can even be said unceremoniously that it is the last front of domestic online games against European and American online games!"

"So these six months will be extremely precious to us. We need to create an unreal world for players in this six months. I know that it will be very difficult to do this, but We have no way out."

Afterwards, Shen Lang listed the agency conditions for World of Warcraft proposed by Blizzard, and said heartbroken.

"Why is Blizzard so arrogant? Because they are sure that with the quality of World of Warcraft, entering the mainland market will definitely show a sweeping trend. They just look down on us and think that our domestic games are like chickens and dogs in front of World of Warcraft!"

For a while, the crowd was excited, and the game planners present all expressed their opinions that they wanted to give World of Warcraft a look, so that foreigners would know that there are not no high-quality domestic games.

One of the game planners immediately put forward his own idea: "Mr. Shen, I see that many male and female players in the game are called husband and wife. Can we set up a marriage method in the game? This will greatly improve the relationship between players. Intimacy, form a bond!"

Shen Lang nodded appreciatively: "Well, this is a good idea. I think it's called the Love System. In this gameplay, we can also dig deeper. For example, if Love works together as a team to level up, you can get extra experience bonuses. Another example is that you can learn some specific skills between love, which is similar to the combination of Yang Guo and Xiaolongnv's swords in the Condor Heroes."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard the words, and they began to offer suggestions.

Regardless of whether it is good or bad, Shen Lang has someone record it.

"After you go down, you can chat with the customer service to see what problems the players often report. There are many times that our game production team can't see it, but the players feel the same. It's no harm to listen to their opinions."

"In addition, if you have any ideas, you can make a detailed plan and submit it. Starting this week, we will hold a planning meeting every week to bring these plans to the meeting for discussion and improvement. Once passed, you can Lead the team to complete the entire plan, and if the players give good feedback, there will be a certain cash reward, the highest reward is 10 yuan!"

"Long live the boss!"

"The boss is so handsome! I love you!"

Sure enough, cash is the original driving force. The game planners present were all cheering and full of energy.

After the meeting ended, Shen Lang left Wang Tao behind.

"The game has been on the server for two months, and the initial freshness of the players is almost exhausted. Small updates like the relationship system can only ensure that the players will not be lost. It is time to create an expansion pack to stimulate the enthusiasm of new players."

Wang Tao scratched his head a little: "Mr. Shen, isn't this a little too risky? Now the players are only over 40 levels, and the game map has not been explored yet. The large-scale update may cause the players to feel uncomfortable."

Indeed, the players in 2004 put it harshly, but they hadn’t seen much in the world. Games like Legendary with simple graphics can still be played with gusto. On the contrary, some games with richer gameplay, such as Paradise and Endless Quest, There was no splash in the country.

Shen Lang patted Wang Tao on the shoulder: "A big update like an expansion pack that subverts the existing gameplay of the game cannot be done overnight. It takes a lot of time to carve. We have no time to waste."

Seeing Shen Lang's resolute attitude, Wang Tao stopped persuading him and asked, "Mr. Shen, then you see, where should we start with this expansion pack?"

Shen Lang thought about it for a while: "The world is a little too calm now. Isn't there a plot in the sword rain Jianghu novel that is about the battle between good and evil in the martial arts world? Let's start from this angle."

"alright, I got it."

Wang Tao is a person who does practical things, and soon began to work on the production of expansion films.

During this period of time, Shen Lang acted as the chief planner of Jianyu Jianghu, and began to lead the team to develop some plans that had been discussed in the meeting.

The first thing to meet the players is the love system.

On this day, at [-] o'clock in the morning, when the players of Jianyu Jianghu logged in, they found that the game had been updated. Some players clicked on the update notice while waiting for the update, and immediately found a surprise.

"Fuck, did you read the update announcement of Jianyujianghu just now? You can finally get married!"

"Really? You can get married in the game? Awesome!"

"You can also gain extra experience when leveling up with a love team, and you can also have a combination skill. This is awesome!"

Soon more and more players began to express their excitement on the forum, especially some romantic players, showing their affection in various ways.

However, when players enter the game, they find that it is not so easy to get married. First of all, male players need to complete a series of tasks to obtain various "betrothal gifts", while female players also need to complete a series of tasks to complete their own "betrothal gifts". wedding dress".

Fortunately, there are guidelines for the task, and the difficulty is not high. After the player completed it with excitement, he finally got the "betrothal gift" and "wedding dress" required for marriage, but found that this is just the lowest level of wedding.

In order to hold a "court"-regulated wedding, male players need to complete a variety of additional tasks. In the later royal-level weddings, players are basically useless at this stage. They need to brush the [-]th-level Buried Sword Valley to get a jade sword as a token. , even the richest player in the current game can't brush the monsters there.

However, judging from the earl-level wedding held by a rich player in the Tingyuge server, it is already considered luxurious. Players can choose to hold weddings in the main cities of Yangzhou, Beijing, and Jinling. During the wedding, female players can sit on six horses. The horse-drawn carriage goes around the city all the way, and there is a luxurious wedding procession, the ground in the game will be covered with a red carpet, and the surrounding trees will also be covered with red silk, which is extremely luxurious.

Male players walk in front of the team on tall horses, and can even invite players to enter a space similar to a dungeon, which is jokingly called a bridal chamber by players.

Players can also throw coins to the players who came to send blessings during the process of sending off their relatives. According to the player's revelations, Ting Yuge, a local player, sprinkled a full 50 copper coins at this wedding. If it is converted into RMB, it must be worth at least Twenty or thirty thousand.

And because more and more players are getting married in the game, even the price of copper coins keeps rising.

Is it possible to get married in the game?Soon, after the promotion of Jianyu Jianghu players, there was a wave of enthusiasm in the online game circle in the mainland, and a large number of new players were attracted to Jianyu Jianghu. Many of them were female players, and there were more female players. , Naturally attracted more male players into the pit.

Just updating the Qingyuan system for one day has increased Jianyujianghu's [-] simultaneous online connections, making other game manufacturers jealous.

Chen Tianqiao flipped through the update log of Jianyu Jianghu, and rubbed his head with some headaches.

"Mr. Chen, World of Warcraft has fallen into Ninetowns' hands, and Sword Rain is pressing harder and harder. If this continues, we may not have much room for survival!" Tan Qunzhao said worriedly.

Chen Tianqiao sighed: "What's the use of talking about it now, Blizzard's food is too ugly, just watch it, one day Ninetowns will regret representing World of Warcraft!"

"As for Sword Rain Jianghu. I have to admit that Shen Lang always has some fantastic ideas. Just a small update of tens of megabytes can greatly enhance the stickiness between players. It's amazing!"

With that said, Chen Tianqiao changed the subject: "By the way, how is the research and development of the Age of Heroes going?"

For the game Age of Heroes, Chen Tianqiao has high hopes.

Tan Qunzhao said with a wry smile: "Last time, more than half of the Age of Heroes team was poached by Shi Yuzhu. The progress of the project is not very smooth. It is estimated that the beta version will not be available until October."

As soon as he heard Shi Yuzhu's name, Chen Tianqiao became very angry. The grandson came to visit pretending to be a loyal player of legend, but poached his people away.

"We still need to speed up the progress. Now that the legendary private server is so noisy, our revenue has dropped sharply. Now the company's revenue is not bad except for Legendary and Legendary World, which is a BNB, and we must have new ones. profit growth point.”

Tan Qunzhao naturally knew the seriousness of the problem, but when it came to Shi Yuzhu, he was still full of worry: "Mr. Chen, Shi Yuzhu has poached so many of us, so he must also enter the game market. The same type of game as Age of Heroes, when the time comes."

Chen Tianqiao waved his hand disdainfully: "Shi Yuzhu, who sells health care products, knows how to make games? If he can't even beat a rookie who just entered the industry, then what's the point of the Age of Heroes?"

The corner of Tan Qunzhao's mouth twitched. He didn't know why, but he always felt a little uneasy.

On the other side, Shi Yuzhu is devoting himself to the production of the game. Although he doesn't understand the game, as a hardcore player, he knows the player's thoughts very well.

Therefore, Shi Yuzhu repeatedly discussed some of his ideas with the game planning, and finally added them to this game. As the game gradually took shape, Shi Yuzhu was excited but also worried.

He knew that Chen Tianqiao was not a person who smashed his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach. Once this game was released in the future, it would definitely be suppressed by Chen Tianqiao.

As a new rookie in the industry, Shi Yuzhu not only has no experience in game operation, but also has no point card sales channels. Once Chen Tianqiao orders the ban, he has no chance to fight back.

We must find a way!
Shi Yuzhu is not worried about offline sales. Brain Gold has nothing else in these years, and there is still no shortage of salesmen in branch offices in various regions. It is just a matter of asking them to go to newsstands and small shops to sell recharge cards.

The key is online channels. Those who win Internet cafes win the world. This is no joke.

So Shi Yuzhu thought of Shen Lang, and visited Inspur Technology again.

Shen Lang naturally heard about the grievances between Shi Yuzhu and Chen Tianqiao, and probably guessed the reason why he came today, but he still pretended not to know anything, and played Tai Chi with Shi Yuzhu.

There is no other way, Shi Yuzhu can only cut to the chase: "Mr. Shen, I am developing a game, which is expected to be officially launched next year. I hope that NetDragon Technology can act as an agent for our online recharge card sales."

Shen Lang said with a troubled face: "This, I'm afraid it's not easy to handle. You haven't understood the grievances between you and Mr. Chen. No matter what, Mr. Chen is still one of the shareholders of NetDragon Technology."

Shi Yuzhu cursed inwardly: Little fox.

But he could only say with a smile: "15 points, Mr. Shen, the grievances between Mr. Chen and I will not affect our relationship. Besides, Mr. Chen is a shareholder of NetDragon, but the games under Shanda But instead of handing it over to NetDragon as an agent, they set up their own business and compete with NetDragon, which has seriously damaged the interests of NetDragon."

Shen Lang smiled, and did not immediately agree, but said to Shi Yuzhu: "President Shi, although this is true, but for you to offend Shanda, isn't the price a bit high?"

"18 points, Mr. Shen, this is my bottom line." Shi Yuzhu gritted his teeth.

"Then it's a pleasure to cooperate!"

"Pleasant to work with."

18 points may seem high, but it is still within Shi Yuzhu's psychological tolerance. If it is obtained through the line, it will be a lot of money just to make a recharge card, and the agent will be pumped up layer by layer. , Often the 100 yuan recharge card in his hand is only 70 yuan at most.

For Shen Lang, the 18% profit of Zhengtu is a big piece of fat. Of course, it would be even better if Chen Tianqiao could withdraw his shares from NetDragon Technology in a fit of anger.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as Shen Lang wanted. Although NetDragon Technology and Shi Yuzhu signed an agency contract, he notified Chen Tianqiao by email, but the other party didn't respond at all.

Just listening to rumors in the world, Chen Tianqiao's secretary bought a brand new tea set that day.
