The Ten Years of Rebirth

Chapter 132 The Fruit Assassin is finally on the shelves
Kyoto, Kyoto University.

Li Zhibin was a little absent-minded throughout the military training from the afternoon onwards. After making mistakes several times, he was singled out by the instructor, and he was exhausted after additional training, and he slowly recovered.

Now he doesn't care about the military training at all in his mind, he has been thinking about what Xu Xing told him, and the fruit assassin will be on the shelves soon.

So much so that when the military training was over, when he went to eat with his roommates, Li Zhibin would just take a bite and think for a while, and the roommate next to him almost thought that he was stunned by the extra training by the instructor: "Li Zhibin, are you okay? Do you want to go to the infirmary? "

"No, no, no." Li Zhibin waved his hands repeatedly.

The night training in the evening is relatively more relaxed. Most of them are symbolic exercises, and then there will be people who volunteer to show their talents.

Li Zhibin couldn't help but twitch a few times when he thought of Xu Xing recommending his tongue to twist screws and nostrils to open bottle caps.

When we returned to the dormitory at night, everyone collapsed on the bed tired after taking a shower, and fell asleep after turning off the lights. Only Li Zhibin lay on his side on the bed, silently watching the time on the phone, bit by bit, pointing to early morning.

When the time came to 00:00, Li Zhibin immediately logged into his account in the US district, searched for Fruit Assassin, and immediately found the first game produced by their Tianshu studio!
Li Zhibin was a little excited, if he was not still in the dormitory, he would have screamed excitedly.

Seeing the reminder that the download volume was 0 above, Li Zhibin quickly completed the payment. After paying the price of 2.99 US dollars, the phone will prompt that the download is in progress.

Li Zhibin quickly took out his earphones and put them on, and when Fruit Assassin was downloaded, he immediately clicked to enter the game.

As the familiar music sounded in his ears, Li Zhibin immediately skillfully cut the fruit, and the points displayed in the upper left corner rose rapidly.

At any rate, he had played the beta version of Fruit Assassin before, and the official version was no different except for a smoother gaming experience.

But when he thought that this game was actually made by his own brother, Li Zhibin still felt very dreamy and unbelievable.

Especially since he has just downloaded it from the App Store by himself, and now he is experiencing it himself, everything is like a dream.

However, when he played for more than an hour and finally redeemed the third blade skin special effect that he hadn't been able to redeem in the beta version, Li Zhibin finally quit the game.

After all, he has to get up early tomorrow to continue military training, so he doesn't want to die suddenly.

But before going to bed, he took a look at the downloads of Fruit Assassin.

There are only four.

uh... four...

One is about 3 US dollars, and the other four are 12 US dollars. Converted to their money, it is about [-] yuan?

Calculated in this way, the cost Xu Xing invested before is probably tens of thousands of yuan. If he wants to make an initial return, he must sell at least 3000 copies?
No, no, it is said that the pineapple company has to pay the money, and then it has to pay taxes.

To be conservative, at least multiply by two or three times, right?

Then the most conservative estimate, if you want to pay back, you have to sell [-] copies? !
Thinking of this number, Li Zhibin couldn't fall asleep again.

Where can I find [-] people to pay for it?
What's more, this is just a simple payback.

If you really want to meet the initial requirements of what Xu Xing told you on QQ, you have to make a profit of millions to be considered feasible, right?

But if they can really earn millions, their Fruit Assassins will have to sell hundreds of thousands or even millions of copies at least.

That's an astronomical figure.

Li Zhibin's mental arithmetic ability is very good, so that after he quickly came to this conclusion, he felt a little restless in his heart, lying on the bed was a bit stuffy, so he quickly opened the quilt to get some air.

On the other side, Xu Xing didn't wait until early morning at all, but after turning off the lights in the dormitory, chatted with his roommate for a while, and then slowly fell asleep.

Anyway, the game was there after it was put on the shelves, and he couldn't run, so Xu Xing wasn't worried at all.

Moreover, the period when the game has just been released has not yet reached the most critical time. The battle will not really begin until the game has been recommended and gained a certain degree of exposure.

So Xu Xing didn't care about it at all.

On the contrary, several employees under him were particularly worried, and they waited until the early morning, just to download and experience their studio's first game earlier.

Except for Yan Chijiu who had no pineapple mobile phone and could only sleep obediently, waiting to come to play with Xu Xing the next day, everyone else was waiting by the mobile phone.

Yao Yuanyuan also downloaded the game immediately, and happily ran to her mother Pei Qinglan's room to show off.

Pei Qinglan, who is used to staying up late to work, is still in a very sober state at this point. Seeing the Fruit Assassin downloaded from Yao Yuanyuan's phone, Pei Qinglan is also very interested.

After taking it and playing a few rounds, I felt the initial guidance of the game above, the strong prompt sound and mark when cutting several fruits at once, the achievement badge wall after the achievement is achieved, and the point mall where skins can be exchanged.

Pei Qinglan soon realized that although this was only Tianshu Studio's first mobile game, the various layouts in it did not show the immaturity of newcomers at all.

It was as if Xu Xing had a plan in mind, and every part was pre-conceived. There was no conflict between the finished product and his idea, and the game was produced very smoothly.

Although Pei Qinglan doesn't know much about games, she understands the game market and has invested in many Internet game companies before. Some of the more basic conceptual content was mentioned by people from game companies.

For example, an initial idea, then to a detailed planning plan, and then implemented at the program and art level, and then to the integrated overall game framework, including core gameplay, art style, resource allocation, story content, etc.

When the final game product lands, the final image may be quite different from the original idea or planned content of the initial version.

But after playing Fruit Assassin, Pei Qinglan found that the core content of the official version of Fruit Assassin was no different from the semi-finished product that she was given to try.

It is nothing more than richer art resources and more attractive special effects, and the essential changes are not too many.

Of course, this is also related to the relatively simple core gameplay of this mobile game itself, and there is no corresponding story content or anything.

But even so, Pei Qinglan still had a vague feeling that she might really have missed a very good investment project.

"If your company encounters any problems in the future, you can come to consult me ​​at any time." Pei Qinglan returned the phone to her daughter, and then said, "I thought it would be fine for you to exercise, but now it seems that this may be your own If you have an opportunity, take advantage of it.”

"Hey." Yao Yuanyuan smiled triumphantly. After receiving her mother's favor, she suddenly waved her big hand a little swollen, and said solemnly, "Mom, just wait. In the future, our company will become bigger and stronger. In turn, they bought your company!"

The two mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled, but they didn't take the joke to heart. Pei Qinglan just encouraged: "If you have this ability, mom will be your assistant in the future."

Yao Yuanyuan chuckled.

But Pei Qinglan continued: "Although I admit that Xu Xing's game is really good, whether it can stand the test of the market or not depends on its subsequent performance."

"After all, no matter how good we applaud, if the market and players refuse to pay, then it is doomed to be a failed game."

……

In the girls' dormitory in Min Daxi District.

In the early hours of the morning, Yu Youjia who was on the opposite bed felt that someone had climbed onto her bed, and she opened her eyes in fright.

After seeing clearly that it was Xu Nian, Yu Youjia sighed helplessly, and leaned against the wall, giving up half of the space, and asked, "What time is it already? I still have a lot of things to do tomorrow."

"The game we made before has just been released!"

Xu Niannian suppressed his excitement, shook Yu Youjia soberly, then took out his mobile phone and urged, "Hurry up, I'll take you to download one together."

Originally, Yu Youjia didn't want to pay attention to this guy, but when he heard that it was the game he helped before, Xu Niannian still aroused his curiosity.

There is one thing to say, although Xu Niannian introduced the specific gameplay of this game to her before, but in fact Xu Niannian has never touched the previous beta version, so Yu Youjia still does not know what the actual game experience is Kind of.

I only know that you can cut fruit by swiping the screen, but Yu Youjia can't imagine the fun of this game at all.

So, curious about this game with traces of his own participation, Yu Youjia reluctantly got up from the bed, and accompanied Xu Niannian to download a fruit assassin.

After entering the game page, there is a simple animated logo interface first.

At the bottom right of the Fruit Assassin’s logo, there is also a logo pattern of a seven-star colander that belongs to Tianshu Studio, in which the star representing Tianshu star at the head of the spoon handle is specially enlarged, and it is different from the other six white stars. The color is given gold.

This picture and the logo elements in it were all created by Xu Niannian and Yu Youjia. They are naturally more sensitive to these elements, and noticed these details at a glance.

Seeing my creative achievements appear in a game that has been released for a fee, the sense of accomplishment is undoubtedly quite exciting.

Even Yu Youjia, who was always reserved on weekdays, felt a faint sense of satisfaction and pride in her heart.

Not to mention Xu Niannian who followed up the development progress throughout the process and provided art resources along the way.

After entering the game, following the novice guide, the two entered the game interface smoothly.

When the first fruit at the bottom of the screen leaps up and reaches the highest point, the game screen stops, the surrounding circle becomes a dim black screen, the light focuses on the fruit, and a guiding arrow appears on the top of the screen, guiding the player to slide Screen.

When the fingers of the two followed the guide to cut the fruit, as a silver-gray blade special effect slid across the screen, the apple on the screen split into two sides, the juice splashed on the background board behind, and there was a sound from the phone that the apple was cut After the sound effect.

Everything seems real.

"Wow! That's how it feels!" Xu Niannian exclaimed in surprise, having never been in contact with this kind of interactive gameplay before.

Although the smart screen of the Pineapple mobile phone has been launched for almost two years, it has reached a new peak after the launch of the Pineapple mobile phone 5.

However, in the field of mobile games, there are very few game manufacturers that really study touch screen interaction in depth.

At present, most mobile games are actually copies of online games and web games, using the touch screen function simply as a computer mouse, but completely ignoring the hidden possibilities of the touch screen function.

In addition, Xu Niannian and Yu Youjia didn't usually play games very much. At this time, when they suddenly came across a novel mobile game featuring touch-screen interaction, they naturally exclaimed that it was wonderful, and they were immediately attracted to the game.

……

In the early morning of the 21st, Li Zhibin got up from the bed with dark circles under his eyes, sat back on the chair after washing, and shook his head to wake himself up.

Seeing his appearance, the roommate next to him smiled and said, "Brother Bin, did you do handwork last night? Why is your mental state so bad?"

"Get out." Li Zhibin laughed and cursed back, "I just didn't sleep well, and I was too busy playing games."

"What game?" My roommate asked curiously, "Mobile game? What's the fun in that, why don't we go to an Internet cafe to play hacking after the military training is over."

"You don't understand." Li Zhibin curled his lips, thinking that he was different from his roommate, and what he was pretending to be was the stars and the sea.

But thinking that their game had just been launched, one more player would be one, so Li Zhibin had an idea. Taking advantage of the early morning military training, he took out his mobile phone and turned on Fruit Assassin. After opening it, he called his roommate to watch.

"How is it?" Li Zhibin introduced to his roommate while skillfully operating, "This game is pretty good, isn't it? It's very interesting."

"Holy shit, can you cut fruit by swiping the screen?" The roommate took a look and was immediately attracted, "Pineapple mobile phone cow, can this effect be made?"

The roommates in the dormitory usually don't pay much attention to mobile games. Even if someone buys a smartphone, most of them use it for making calls. Most of them are used to playing games on the computer.

"Here, you can play with it too." Li Zhibin generously handed over the phone.

After the roommate took it, he was addicted to it immediately, and opened it several times in a row. After getting started, he couldn't extricate himself.

So Li Zhibin hit the iron while the iron was hot at this time, and said from the side: "I remember you also have a pineapple phone? Why don't you get one yourself?"

"Okay." The roommate agreed, "Download directly?"

"Uh... this is a game in the US region. You have to register an account there first." Li Zhibin said quickly, "Then you have to buy a gift card online to redeem it, and you can buy it for $2.99."

roommate:"???"

"It's so troublesome for me to wipe? And why do you want money?"

"People who make games rely on this to make money." Li Zhibin took it for granted, "Otherwise, where would the money come from to make new games?"

"Forget it then." The roommate shook his head when he heard that it cost money to buy it, and he had to go around such a large circle of operations, "It's just such a small game, I can't just borrow your mobile phone to play it when I want to play it." That's it? Anyway, Brother Bin, you bought them all, so wouldn't it be a loss if I buy another one?"

Li Zhibin: "..."

Hearing what his roommate said, Li Zhibin suddenly realized this problem that Xu Xing had known for a long time.

Originally, he thought it was not too difficult, but after he recommended it to the people around him, he realized how difficult it was.

2.99 U.S. dollars may not sound expensive, but when converted into local currency, it is more than [-] yuan.

These days, not many people are willing to spend more than 3 yuan to buy a [-]A masterpiece, let alone a lightweight mobile game like Fruit Assassin.

Thinking of this, Li Zhibin finally realized what a wise choice Xu Xing made when he chose to release the game in the US market.

If it is directly released to the domestic mobile game market in the form of a buyout system, I am afraid it will die suddenly...

After thoroughly understanding Xu Xing's train of thought, Li Zhibin couldn't help feeling a little resentful.

Thinking of how he boasted yesterday that he would help him promote in school, he now feels a little hot.

No wonder Xu Xing said that if he can attract a player, he will share half of the selling price, which is simply impossible to attract people in China.

Unless he personally helps others to register and pays for it out of his own pocket, basically no one will go around such a big circle to download a small game.

And he paid out of his own pocket, wouldn't that be a loss-making business?
Li Zhibin was a little depressed, and suddenly felt the huge gap between himself and Xu Xing, and suddenly felt that being admitted to Beijing University was not something worth showing off.

……

At this time, Xu Xing just got up from the bed. After washing up, he followed his roommates to the cafeteria to have breakfast. He took out his mobile phone while drinking porridge, and then opened the App Store to check the sales of Fruit Assassin.

Downloads: 5
Hmm...it's really miserable.

Xu Xing clicked to pay, and after confirming the download, he successfully changed the number to 6, then put the phone back in his pocket, and ignored it.

Anyway, it hasn’t been recommended yet, so don’t worry about everything. This kind of natural growth without exposure means nothing. It’s time to see the truth after you get recommended.

So Xu Xing still continued his military training step by step.

After the military training in the morning, the four people in the dormitory were walking towards the cafeteria, when they were suddenly stopped by Yan Chijiu who was catching up behind him.

"Xu Xing."

Yan Chijiu walked to Xu Xing's side, glanced at the roommate next to him, then looked at him again, blinked and said without hesitation: "Yesterday, I agreed to borrow my mobile phone to play with, let's have dinner together at noon."

"Okay." Xu Xing nodded, glanced in the direction of the gate of the playground, didn't see Xu Niannian coming today, so he just changed his wallet, "Then let's go."

What Xu Xing didn't know was that Xu Niannian didn't go to bed until three or four o'clock last night because he stayed up late to play fruit assassin, and now he was still lying on Yu Youjia's bed in the dormitory and sound asleep.

"Why do you also have a pineapple mobile phone? She can take the initiative to ask Xu Xing to borrow it instead of asking me to borrow it?" Seeing the backs of the couple going away, Lu Pengyou immediately felt aggrieved for himself.

Zhang Nong on the side was silent for a moment, and then said after deliberation: "Brother Lu, is there a possibility that the borrowing of the mobile phone is just an excuse, and his real purpose is just to have lunch with Xu Xing?"

Lu Pengyou turned his head and looked at Zhang Nong quietly: "...Anong, why don't you say a few words in the future."
