The Ten Years of Rebirth

Chapter 136 The Butterfly Flaps Its Wings, Blowing Up the Strong Wind in the US Region (Add more for EDG to win the championship)

the same moment.

North America on the other side of the ocean.

In the office building of the recommendation department of the Pineapple App Store, it was still time for a lunch break.

Nord, who was in charge of the demo and the latest game recommendation column, had just finished work, and took the elevator with his colleague Myron to the cafeteria on the second floor to prepare for lunch.

"Have you noticed this week's game?" Myron chatted with Nord in the elevator when he went downstairs, "My favorite Exotic Sword has also launched their mobile game version."

"I see." Nord nodded, but he is not very interested in this kind of mobile game developed purely on his own end game IP, "What do you want to say?"

"It's nothing." Myron shrugged, "I just wanted to ask if you want to open an account to play online with me."

"Forget it." Nord shook his head, "The department plays games every day, aren't you tired of playing?"

"You don't understand." Myron shook her finger, and could always come up with some outrageous metaphors with ease, "It's like the husband who comes home has to hand in your inventory every day, but it doesn't It doesn't mean that he loses his combat power when he meets his lover."

Nord, who has been working with Myron in the recommendation department for more than half a month, probably gradually got used to this guy's style, and complained skillfully: "So you want to ask me to meet my lover? That sounds quite exciting. "

The elevator reached the second floor, and the two continued to chat while queuing up.

"Hey, Hilna." When Myron was queuing up, another beautiful colleague came up behind him, so he immediately turned his gun and greeted the beauty behind, "Long time no see."

Hilna didn't look up, but just responded, still lowering her head, playing a game with her mobile phone.

This made Myron curious: "What are you playing?"

"Stand strong position 2." Sherna said, took a plate from the side, and said to the waiter in the cafeteria, "A steak and salad, and a cup of coffee, thank you."

"Oh~ I've tried this game before." Myron sat down on a table with Sherna, holding a plate of dinner very familiarly, "It seems to be featured on our latest game column recommendation today."

Nord sat next to Myron, and when they mentioned this game, he couldn't help adding: "It's also a mobile game, but this game is a very classic tower defense game, which is more suitable than Sword of Exotics." Changed to mobile games, today’s latest game sales rankings, it ranks first.”

"Huh?" Hilna is obviously also an experienced game player. After finishing a game, she finally raised her head and asked curiously, "Is there a mobile version of Sword of Foreign Countries?"

"Yes, Exotic Sword 2, you can search it." Nord took a sip of coffee, and then began to eat lunch, "Or look for it on the sales list of the latest game, you should be able to find it in the second position. "

"To be honest." Myron couldn't help but said, "I don't think Sword of Foreign Countries is at all inferior to the game of Standing Ground, or there is no comparison between the two at all."

"You know, the sword of the foreign country has millions of players in the end game, but there are only more than [-] players standing firm."

"If it weren't for the poor performance of mobile phones now, after this 3D third-person game is changed to a mobile game, many functions will be cut off and a lot of image quality will be sacrificed, otherwise it will definitely be able to hold its ground."

Hearing this, the beautiful colleague Hilna sneered twice: "Even if the mobile phone configuration is satisfactory, the complicated skill setting of the foreign sword is enough for you players to have a headache."

"There are dozens of keys on the keyboard for you to use, but there are none on the phone."

"Just the five basic skills have to cut a few, let alone other advanced skills and finishing moves."

"Even if the entire screen is equipped with skill keys, I'm afraid there won't be enough space for so many function keys?"

Myron was so stunned that he couldn't speak, and Nord nodded in agreement: "Indeed, otherwise, a game that costs dozens of dollars for a terminal game, how could it be possible for a mobile game to only cost 9.9 dollars?"

"However, Hilna, the evaluation you put on the foreign sword is the same in reverse when you put it on the stand."

"I tried the beta version they sent before, and they almost just transplanted the content of the end game to the mobile end without making any substantial changes at all."

"Although tower defense games are indeed naturally adapted to the form of mobile games, it still seems that the game is too bloated to directly stuff the content of the end game."

"So what?" Hilna opened the App Store and glanced at it, with a smile on her lips, "After sticking to the position and becoming the recommended position, the sales increased by [-], while the sword of the foreign country was only [-]. The gap is obvious."

Myron didn't like to hear this, and immediately retorted: "Look carefully, the price of standing firm is only 4.9 US dollars, while the price of the foreign sword is 9.9 US dollars. Although the sales volume is only [-], the sales volume But it can be counted as [-] copies of standing firm, and it is really obvious which one is stronger and weaker."

Nord on the side didn't expect it either. He originally thought that Myron wanted to tease his sister, but the chatting turned into a debate among game fans.

The two were fighting against each other while eating, chatting and talking about next week's game category cover recommendation.

"Anyway, I will vote for Sword of Foreign Countries this week. His grades are fully qualified for such a recommendation." Myron said without hesitation.

"You are using your power for personal gain!" Hearing this, Hilna, who is not from the recommendation department, was immediately annoyed by him, "I'm going to the supervision department to report you!"

"Ahem..." Nord who was next to him heard this, and hurriedly dissuaded him, "It won't happen."

"If the sales volume of sticking to the position can be maintained at the first place, his initial number of votes will be much higher. Myron's personal vote is actually useless."

The recommendation department is a department dedicated to arranging recommendation slots for major mobile games. If the slots are relatively ample and not important, such as the latest games, where more than a dozen games can be played in a week, it is very easy to arrange them in that department. .

But if it is a relatively important position, such as this week's recommendation on the homepage of the game category, or the daily recommendation that is directly placed at the top of the user's favorite column, or the cover recommendation mentioned by the two, it is a very valuable recommendation position. .

There are only a few recommended positions like this every week, because each reviewer in the department has his own preferences, and there are often differences.

Fortunately, sales and popularity speak for themselves, so most of the time it depends on the results.

But even so, Myron and Sherna were still arguing fiercely. Even when they were about to finish their meal, they turned their heads in unison, glared at Nord, and asked in unison, "What do you think?"

Nord's scalp was numb from the two staring at them, and he was speechless for a while. He flipped through the latest game sales list this time, then raised his brows, and suddenly shared the phone screen with the two, saying: "Actually, if you want me to say, I really like this game.”

"What is this?" Myron leaned over to take a look, and couldn't help but sneered when he saw the [-] increase in sales, "Are you sure this result can compare to the previous two mobile games adapted from big IPs?"

"The high probability is incomparable." Nord said honestly, "But I think this kind of mobile game is more suitable as a mobile game. The sales growth of the terminal game adaptation mobile game recommended by the two of you is almost entirely dependent on the end game players. Support, in the long run, is actually not a long-term solution.”

"Come on." Myron shook his head again and again, "Sword of Foreign Countries has over a million players in the end game. Is it possible that this little game can still sell this number?"

"Although the number of end game players standing firm is a bit small, tower defense mobile games will definitely attract a lot of new players." Xierna also retorted, "If you don't want to support either of us, just say so, there is no need to pull a word When the shield comes out, it looks like a mobile game produced by a small company, and the quality is not at the same level."

"That's all I'm saying." Nord shrugged his shoulders, thinking about how addicted he was when he tried the game, and felt that he was thinking too much, "But even if this game can't be a big hit, at least it can make this game Small companies make a lot of money, I’m sure of that.”

……

And while the three App Store colleagues were having lunch and arguing about the outcome of several games, similar events were happening all over the Americas.

In a fruit shop in Texas, a woman with dusky blonde hair is half lying on a recliner, shaking her body, making the chair creak and overwhelmed.

There were no customers in the fruit shop at the moment, and the proprietress held her mobile phone to watch the video, watching the video on the Youtube software to relax and entertain.

Suddenly, her account received a notification that a new video was updated on the channel she followed.

Clicking on it, I found that the updated video was a blogger who focused on the food channel she followed before.

The title of the video is [Cut the watermelon with one knife!I actually cut out the dimensional wall between virtual and reality! 】

Boss lady: "???"

What kind of fancy title is this?

Out of curiosity, the proprietress clicked into the video, and the perspective of the screen was all in. It was a watermelon quietly placed on the chopping board, located in the center of the entire screen.

The background is a very simple wooden board, and everything is a real scene in reality.

But in the next second, before the food blogger showed up, a knife flashed, and the picture in front of him suddenly switched to a cartoon style, and the watermelon in the picture split in half.

Then the screen switched again and returned to reality. The watermelon that should have been quietly placed on the chopping board was cut in two at some point, just like the cartoon-style image that flashed across the screen just now.

Immediately afterwards, pineapples, bananas, grapes and other fruits appeared in turn. Each cutting was accompanied by a switching effect between reality and illusion, which made the proprietress dazzled.

Especially with the crisp sound of chopping melons and vegetables next to your ears, it immediately makes you feel as if you were there.

And just as the proprietress kept her eyes on the fast cutting rhythm, the cantaloupe in front of her eyes split in two, and then a black chocolate spherical cake appeared on the screen.

Before the proprietress could react, a saber flashed across.

There was a loud noise of "peng!", and the screen stopped.

Reality and illusory backgrounds switch back and forth quickly in a few seconds. At the same time, the cartoon version of "GAME OVER" and the words "GAME OVER" composed of various real fruits, in the back and forth switching between reality and virtuality, synchronized from The top of the screen slowly falls, always overlapping together.

And at the last moment, it fell to the center of the screen, and the real background inside completely disappeared, leaving only the cartoon version of "GAME OVER" standing in the screen.

Afterwards, the screen went black and then lit up again, and the logo of "Fruit Assassin" appeared from the darkness.

It took less than half a minute before and after the video, and the food blogger finally appeared, clapping his hands in front of the audience, and began to introduce the source of inspiration and production process of this video to everyone with a smile.

And it wasn't until this moment that the proprietress slowly came back to her senses, pulled out of the state of immersion just now, and exhaled a foul breath.

When she heard the food blogger say that those pictures just now are actually the pictures of a real machine game called "Fruit Assassin", in which she can directly experience the thrill of cutting fruit, the proprietress just Fully react.

Good guy!
It turned out to be an advertising video!

But immediately, the proprietress sneered a little.

After all, I own a fruit shop, and I have to chop fruits every day.

Isn't it funny to ask her to cut fruit on the phone now?
But when the food blogger showed the game on the real machine in the video, the proprietress looked at the picture of a series of fruits being cut in one breath, and a hearty pleasure suddenly emerged in her heart.

She usually cuts fruit so neatly!
If cutting fruit could be so easy in the real world, she wouldn't need to hire additional staff to help her share the work.

Thinking of this, the proprietress felt a little moved, followed the blogger's instructions, clicked the link below, and jumped directly to the download page of the App Store.

After paying the price of US$2.99 ​​very generously, the proprietress successfully downloaded the game Fruit Assassin and immediately entered the game.

After half an hour.

"Hey! Hey!"

"I asked you if the watermelon here can be cut in half and bought!"

"Stop playing your broken game, okay?!"

The ears were disturbed by the urging of the guests, and the proprietress's fat fingers flicked lightly, accidentally cutting the bomb.

Bang!
GAME OVER
The proprietress raised her fat face, and looked at the skinny man who asked the question with a gloomy expression: "You better really know how to buy it, or I'll really cut off half of your head too."

Damn it!

If she could have persisted for a few more seconds just now, she would have completed at least one more achievement, and she would be one step closer to that free skin!
……

Situations like the proprietress of the fruit shop are constantly happening in the Americas.

In addition to the food blogger's video, at the same time, there were at least a dozen or twenty other bloggers who released advertising videos about Fruit Assassins, and the contents were expressed in different forms.

The only similarity is that most of the content of the video fits the type and style of the blogger’s own channel, so that the viewers of the corresponding channel can unknowingly watch the entire advertising video without feeling awkward at all, and even Some people didn't realize it was an advertisement until the blogger came out to explain it.

And all of this is a sudden change after the young man in the dormitory gave an order in the Shanghai stock market on the other side of the ocean.

……

On the other hand, when Li Zhibin woke up the next day in the dormitory of Jingda University in Kyoto, he picked up his mobile phone with sleepy eyes, and subconsciously checked the download volume of Fruit Assassin. When he saw the number 8982 displayed on it, he was a little stunned immediately Rubbed his eyes.

Then, while the other three roommates were still soundly asleep, they heard Brother Bin, who was usually good at handcrafts, suddenly burst into an extremely loud "Damn!".

　[Pujie Diary]: After more than half a month, I feel a little used to it. When I came back, it was after nine o'clock. Seeing that it was still early, I simply rushed out this chapter.

　　But the chapter at five o'clock tomorrow afternoon must be too late, everyone please forgive me.
