The Ten Years of Rebirth

Chapter 405
On February 2, Valentine's Day, Mihuyou's new mobile game "Honkai Campus 14" was officially launched.

Putting such a role-playing 3D action game on a mobile game is indeed a dimensionality reduction blow to the domestic mobile game market.

Especially in the two-dimensional market, most mobile games are still limited to the card-to-card stage. At most, it is a horizontal 2D type like Beng 2, or it has a 3D model, but it is turn-based. Right to touch.

In this case, Beng3 can make a 3D action mobile game of real-time combat type. Among the second games, it is indeed a very impressive technical level.

The types of games that go beyond the routine of the second game, coupled with the long-term content of the plot line that Mihuyou is best at, ensure the long-term stability of Beng 3.

So much so that until six years later, this old game has few mobile games of the same type that can match the target, and the turnover has remained at a high level for a long time, leading Mihuyou to achieve a billion-level annual revenue.

Previously under Xu Xing's instigation, Bizhan also invested in a three-party joint venture company, which has a certain right to operate Mihuyou games. After the launch of Bobeng 3, it also enjoyed a bite.

A few days before the Spring Festival, Mihuyou released the game promotion PV on Biz, WeChat Game Center and other channels, which attracted the attention of a large number of Two-dimensional players.

From the opening of the pre-login, it broke through one million pre-registered logins in just one week, and then officially launched on February 2, and in just one week after that, the number of registered users increased to 14 million.

Until the end of February, the turnover in half a month exceeded the [-] million mark, and the ability to attract money was really terrifying.

However, Xu Xing, who holds the two big killers of "The Return of the Myth" and "Special Exercise", doesn't have much feeling for this point of flow.

After half a year of operation last year, the number of players of "Myth Returns" has officially exceeded the 4000 million mark.

The two new skins released in mid-February created more than 5 million turnover for "Myth Returns" in half a month, which can be said to be quite exaggerated.

Don't look at the gap of five times, you must know that the data of Beng 3 is just the beginning of the server, so it can only be said that it is incomparable.

But if you simply look at the two-dimensional mobile game market, the level of Beng 3 is a notch higher.

As for "Special Exercise", since it was released in December last year, it has not fallen from the top position of Steam's weekly bestseller list.

Reelected for a full 12 weeks.

The appearance of "Special Exercise" can be said to directly make domestic players climax on the spot.

Especially at the end of February, Tianshu Games officially announced on major platforms that the sales of "Special Exercise" exceeded 700 million, officially breaking the domestic buyout system game sales record, this news quickly topped the Weibo hot search list, and then in The first three hang for a whole day.

Prior to this, domestic players probably had a hard time imagining that one day their own game manufacturers would be able to make a buyout game with a sales volume of over 700 million.

And looking at the current situation, 1000 million should only be a matter of time.

However, there are also a lot of plagiarism on the Internet. It is a great tragedy to directly bring out "H1Z1" and angrily criticize domestic games for relying on plagiarism.

As a result, within a few days, the official account of Tianshu Games released the video and text version of the conversation with Green, the producer of "H1Z1".

Green in the video praised the gameplay and fun of "Special Exercise", and also shared his record of more than 100 hours of playing time. It can be seen that he is really obsessed.

After all, it has only been two or three months since "Special Exercise" was launched. Even if it is spread out equally, it still takes more than an hour to play every day.

What Green talked about in the interview is also very interesting. He shared with the audience and explained the source of the gameplay of Battle Royale, which can even be traced back to the novel of the same name in the last century, and was later filmed into a movie.

Finally, Green said that he was very happy to see a game like "Special Exercise" that can carry forward the battle royale genre, and accepted the invitation of Tianshu Games to serve as the technical and gameplay consultant of "Special Exercise" and participate in the follow-up research and development. Help "Special Exercise".

In addition, Green also mentioned that the most fundamental reason for his invitation this time was that Mr. Xu of Qunxing Group privately sent him a game plan that was also a battle royale type.

This plan attracted him very much. While he was responsible for the follow-up R&D support of "Special Exercise" overseas, Green also readily accepted the invitation of Qunxing Group to serve as the person in charge of the game R&D center established overseas by Qunxing Group.

With the gradual ferment of the plagiarism incident about "Special Exercise" in recent days, the situation intensifies in the country.

As soon as this video came out, one stone immediately stirred up waves, and the reversal came a little quickly.

The trending search that led to copying had only been on the front for a few days, and was directly stabbed in the back by this new trending search.

[Laughing to death, what about the group of people who worked so hard to copy before?What is it called?The ministers are about to fight to the death, why did His Majesty surrender first? 】

[Copying, copying, I know how to copy all day long, and those who really copied it vigorously didn’t see such a loud noise. Those who showed me thought that domestic games were really finished]

[According to the logic and standard of plagiarism, only the creator of each game type in this world is the original one, and the others are just plagiarized works]

[No, no, isn't the console all buttons and joysticks?Client games are all keyboard warriors, and mobile games are all about rubbing glass. Except for the first game, the others are all plagiarized, right?]

[Tianshu's bottom line is really good, and judging by the reaction speed, I'm afraid he contacted Greene before the plagiarism rhythm came out]

[Gossip, it seems that after playing "Special Exercise", Green took the initiative to find Tianshu Games, and it happened that Qunxing had the idea of ​​​​establishing an overseas game research and development center, and it just hit it off]

[It belongs to the son who scolded his uncle, and was slapped back by the father, filial piety]

[Is no one curious about the plan Mr. Xu gave?Being able to lure Green to the game research and development center seems to be a battle royale, I don’t know what it’s like]

[To be honest, Mr. Xu is really against the sky. He usually manages such a large stall of the Qunxing Group, but he still has the energy to make detailed plans]

[There is a legend in the industry that every time the person in charge of Tianshu Games comes out of Mr. Xu's office, the dark circles under his eyes are very thick the next day]

[I really want to tie Mr. Xu to Tianshu for planning, don't waste energy doing other things, let's make more games! 】

[One thing to say, Mr. Xu's output is already outrageous. I think Tencent can rest if we can maintain this speed and quality]

[Tengxin: Why did the sailors I bought with money add traffic to the stars instead? 】

[Hehe, it's just the black and red marketing of the stars (dog head)]

[Originally, it’s okay for Tianshu games to be awesome in the field of mobile games, but Tencent can bear it for a while. After all, they have a lot of cash cows on the PC side, but now that "Special Exercise" comes out, they just gnaw a big mouthful of meat. , it seems that the chicken eating screen in Internet cafes can be compared with LOL now]

[The number of players is still incomparable, but the configuration requirements for eating chicken are too high, it is still comfortable to play in Internet cafes, LOL can be played in the dormitory]

There is a lot of trouble online.

And Xu Xing also came to the Ocean International Building in March.

After Qunxing Group's headquarters moved to Qunxing Building, the several floors of office buildings rented by Sino-Ocean International did not return the lease, but continued to keep them, leaving some business projects that need to stay here.

For example, the headquarters of the specific executive department of Eat Me Food Delivery will stay here, and some other departments will move to the Qunxing Building.

In addition, there are also small studios like Mihuyou who rented out by themselves. As the company has more and more employees, it is necessary to find a suitable large office building.

It turned out that it happened to coincide with the relocation of Qunxing Group, and the vacant position happened to be appropriated to Mihuyou's side.

After experiencing the initial stage of Beng 1 and Beng 2, Mihuyou received the joint investment of Qunxing and Bizhan, and Mihuyou obtained the start-up capital of Beng 3 in advance, and launched Beng 3 more than half a year earlier than the previous life.

And with the double traffic tilt blessing of WeChat and Biz, it has achieved a turnover score that surpassed that of the previous life.

Although part of the income has to be shared with Qunxing and Bizhan, it is much more comfortable than the treatment in the previous life.

After all, with the king bomb of WeChat account interoperability, the initial drainage is much simpler than that of Mihuyou's previous life, and the drainage of the server can be easily completed.

Although the Tianhu start of Beng3 is not as good as the few king bombs in Tianshu Game, but compared with Mihuyou's previous results, it is enough to make Mihuyou carnival for a long time.

However, there are hundreds of people in the production team of Beng 3, plus the personnel who maintain the operation of Beng 2 and other departments, Mihuyou is now considered a large company with about 150 people.

They were arranged to come to Ocean International Building, not far from Min University, and the three founders of Mihuyou were quite satisfied.

This time when they heard that Xu Xing was coming, Liu Wei and Cai Haoyu waited for a long time and greeted him at the door.

Xu Xing brought his secretary Chen Xin, and Yan Chijiu who came to watch the fun.

In the early days, Xu Xing's first secretary, Peng Yuxuan, was arranged by Xu Xing to go to the internal supervision department of Qunxing Group after handing over the post of secretary to Yan Chijiu. He is currently the second in command of the supervision department.

The second secretary, Yan Chijiu, quit the company halfway because of a relationship dispute with the boss himself.

After that, Chen Xin took over the position of the third secretary. Currently, he is in charge of Xu Xing's itinerary, the preprocessing and information filtering of various documents and matters, and he is in charge of the entire secretary department. talent.

"So why are you here this time? Isn't it just to look around?" Yan Chijiu asked curiously.

"Guide the way for Mihuyou, so that they can avoid some detours." Xu Xing said simply, "Some games can't be made just by knowing how to do them, but you have to find the right people."

After connecting with Mihuyou here, Chen Xin drove the two of them there. After Xu Xing and Yan Chijiu arrived here, his mission was basically completed.

Xu Xing and Yan Chijiu were brought into the company by Liu Wei, and they simply walked around the office area of ​​the Beng 3 production team, and Xu Xing instantly attracted everyone's attention.

With Xu Xing's current fame, it is really hard not to attract people's attention.

What's more, here are all practitioners in the game industry, so they naturally know how exaggerated Xu Xing's ability in this area is.

"Mr. Xu, here, let's go to the office to talk." Liu Wei walked in the front to lead the way, and after showing Xu Xing around the employees' office space, he led the two of them to the office.

"Is the environment at Sino-Ocean International okay?" Xu Xing asked.

"Very good." Cai Haoyu nodded, "Especially the takeaway upstairs, Liu Wei went to ask for a lot of coupons."

Liu Wei: "...don't talk about such things."

"Very good." Xu Xing said with a chuckle, "When the second and third phases of the Qunxing Building are completed, there will be a lot of space at the headquarters, and you can move there directly. Gong Ao really wants to get close to him. You communicated."

"That's not the case. We should go to Brother Gong for advice." Liu Wei said hastily.

Gong Ao's reputation is not obvious to the outside world, but everyone in the game circle envies him.

On the one hand, the treatment of Tianshu Games is really good, which is much higher than that in the industry, and only Tencent can beat the wrist.

On the other hand, naturally, with Mr. Xu's heaven-defying blessing behind him, every high-quality planning project went out as if they didn't need money.

Familiar people in the game circle usually come out to meet and chat, and hearing Gong Ao brag about these things, many people are still jealous.

However, after Xu Xing walked into the office, Liu Wei and Cai Haoyu looked at Xu Xing and waved to Yan Chi vinegar, took out a plan from the document bag she was carrying, handed it to the desk, The two on the side signaled.

"After the development of Beng 3 is completed, it will be enough for one of the three of you to take the lead in controlling the subsequent version updates, right?"

Xu Xing pointed his finger on the document and continued, "I have a plan here, you can take a look at it, although it is still difficult to realize at present, but I hope you can study it first, if there is not enough funds in the early stage, my side will fully cooperate.”

Hearing this, Liu Wei and Cai Haoyu were a little surprised.

Because according to the current turnover of Beng3, even if Cai Haoyu is about to lead the development of the next project right now, it is enough to rely on its own turnover to maintain the supply of research and development funds.

But according to Mr. Xu, the project he gave seems to cost a lot of money.

"It can't be a stand-alone masterpiece, right?" Liu Wei frowned, "I'm afraid our technology accumulation in this area is not enough."

"It's still a mobile game, but there are differences." Xu Xing laughed and said, "You will know it after reading it."

In the open world mobile game, in the previous life, only Yuanshen was unique.

If it's just the framework of the game, the mechanism of the gameplay, and even the specific settings, Xu Xing can fully provide it.

But when it comes to the specific plot content, Xu Xing is helpless.

As I said before, Yuanshen can balance the strength of the characters without inflating them, and it can also make players desire to krypton gold. There are two key points.

One is an elemental response system that translates strength into combat mechanics.

The other is the player's xp.

However, if you want to stimulate the player's XP, it is not enough to have beautiful character portraits and modeling.

After all, in the last life, among the two-dimensional mobile games, the character modeling was even hotter than the original god, and the key lies in the combination of the characters and the plot.

Only at this point, even Xu Xing, who came through rebirth, is a little weak and has nowhere to use it.

That's why Xu Xing didn't throw the Yuanshen thing to Gong Ao. This thing doesn't fit the Tianshu game's positioning at all at the genetic level.

It is safer to leave it to a professional.

Liu Wei and Cai Haoyu didn't know what Xu Xing was thinking, they just picked up the documents on the table in doubt, and gathered them together to look through them.

As a result, it took more than an hour.

These two nerds really didn't have that self-awareness, they were completely immersed in this plan, so much so that they forgot the time, and left Xu Xing and Yan Chi vinegar here.

"When are they going to see?" Yan Chijiu sat on the sofa holding cold tea, turned his head and asked.

"It's okay, there's nothing else to do today, we'll go home after talking here." Xu Xing took a sip of his tea, and he still had the time to take out his phone, and asked Chao Yanchi, "Are you going to rank the myth?"

Yan Chi gave him a jealous look, but still took out his mobile phone.
