Chapter 71: Money, power and fame
But the members of Wolongju are different. For them, games are work, their profession, their rice bowl, and their way of survival.
When Qinglong heard Feng's analysis, his thoughts returned to three years ago.
Three years ago, Qinglong was 22 years old. He was a pure game enthusiast as described in Fenghua. In the entire game market, there are thousands of types of games, and even hundreds of games of the same type.
Due to too many choices, Qinglong's longest time from playing one game to another did not exceed a month.
At that time, Wolongju Studio had just been established less than a year ago and had less than 20 people. In order to expand the scale of the studio, Wolongju posted recruitment advertisements in real life, online, in games and other places.
Under such circumstances, Qinglong accidentally entered Wolongju Studio.
Only after Qinglong entered the studio did he truly understand that it is not easy for players to make money in games.
First of all, you must choose the right game. A game is like an industry, a desert island, and a piece of land. Only when a large number of people come in can the game become popular. Only after the game becomes popular can it bring in a lot of resources and money.
How to attract game players is a matter for game developers and game operators. But how to identify whether a game is worthy of entry requires a studio with a long-term vision.
Secondly, after choosing the right game, it’s time for the major studios to actually compete. Every popular game has its own complete industry chain. If a studio wants to survive in the game, it must make itself an indispensable part of the industry chain.
After finding your own position, you cannot relax your vigilance. You must do your best to make yourself the "spokesperson" of this link. Because if you want to make money, there is nothing better than monopoly.
However, the hot game competition is too fierce and cruel, so it is impossible for a studio to hang itself from a tree. It will definitely have several or even dozens of games at the same time.
Qinglong entered Wolong Residence and worked there for three years, from the initial member to the team leader and then to the junior leader.
It was not until two months ago, after entering this game, that Qinglong officially became the top leader of Wolongju Studio in this game.
In fact, when this game first came out, because the official did not release too much information, Wolongju Studio was not sure whether this game was worth entering.
Because of the unique fighting method of the game, the boss behind Wolongju formulated a strategy: winner takes all. Whoever has the strongest combat power in the game is the person in charge of Wolongju in this game.
With his extraordinary fighting talent, Qinglong became the only person in Wolongju to enter the second level of the novice advanced mission, so he undoubtedly became the person in charge of this game. At this point, he was officially named "Qinglong" by Wolongju.
However, during the internal testing of the game, the activity mode of the game was very simple, just like a stand-alone game, so someone in the management of Wolongju proposed to abandon the game.
However, because the studio still receives a lot of orders every day, the orders include playing with, guiding, teaching, etc. Since there are orders, it means there is income, which allows the team led by Qing Longgang to persevere.
Later, the game official organized a competition, and other large studios participated in the competition. The competition is a good opportunity to make his studio famous, so the boss of Wolongju asked Qinglong to lead his team well and promote Wolongju in the game. If he can get a good ranking, it will be the icing on the cake.
In the end, Qinglong lived up to expectations, making Wolongju's reputation in the game second only to the six major guilds.
Subsequently, the game was updated and entered public beta. The game also underwent earth-shaking changes, becoming a super large-scale online game, and the production chain inside also became intricate.
The most noteworthy one is the game’s trading system.
If the game's completely free transactions have made players feel incredible, then the direct interoperability of game currency and RMB has made players see a miracle.
This miracle has never happened before, and no one can predict how this game will go. Go crazy or perish.
The various changes in these games let Qinglong know that his long-term persistence is right and will be rewarded.
As a result, Qinglong became a prominent figure in Wolongju, which made him feel excited and pressured at the same time. That's why we formulated a sanctions policy when dealing with the Iron-Blooded Gang. This not only allowed him to obtain resources, but also greatly increased the reputation of Wolongju.
His thoughts returned to the present, Qinglong looked at the peak in front of him, how much he looked like himself three years ago. So he said to Feng: "Since Shopkeeper Feng sincerely asks for advice, let me tell you a few points."
The first is money, money is a resource.
The game currently has four major resources, namely food, medicine, weapons, and armor.
Among them, food is made from rice and wild monster essence; medicine is made from fruits and herbs.
Because rice and fruits are in the safe zone, while monster essences and herbs are in the wild zone, these two resources, food and medicine, are also called semi-wild zone resources. Correspondingly, weapons and armor are called full wild zone resources.
So, in other words, whoever controls the jungle controls the resources.
"Do you know why we, Wolongju, chose this place?" Qinglong asked Feng.
"Please ask Gang Leader Long to clear up the confusion." He didn't know what Qinglong wanted to ask.
"Wolong Mountain is near Luochen Mountain, and Luochen Mountain is one of the entrances to the Buluo Mountain Range. Our current goal is Luochen Mountain, but the Buluo Mountain Range is our ultimate goal." Qinglong made no secret.
"Then why not just build the inn at the foot of Luochen Mountain." After hearing Qinglong's words, he had this question in his mind. If Wolongju wanted to occupy Luochen Mountain, wouldn't it be more direct and convenient to build the inn directly on Luochen Mountain?
"I think so, but no player can build an inn in Luochen Mountain yet. There are two reasons for this. The first is that the wild monsters in Luochen Mountain are powerful and have a strong sense of territory. They will actively harass players to build inns, causing losses to players. .The second reason is that there are bandits in Luochen Mountain." Qinglong
"That's it." Feng had actually heard such rumors a long time ago.
"The Luoxia Mountain near your inn is also one of the entrances to the Buluo Mountain Range. Haven't you ever gone to observe it?"
"I'm ashamed to say that I went there once and actually met a bandit and almost escaped." Feng thought about the fifth leader of the bandit and wanted to laugh in his heart.
"Yes, the bandits are too rampant. I guess after the Ministry of War activities, the officials will definitely send players to deal with them." Qinglong guessed.
"Based on what you said, I'm looking forward to tomorrow's activities more and more." Feng
"Back to the topic, I wonder how many resources of Novice Village Master Feng has?" Qinglong
"It's not a lot, but it's enough to run the inn." Feng
"As soon as the recharge activity was launched, the rental NPCs were besieged by players. It took a lot of effort for us in Wolongju to rent more than ten acres of orchards and paddy fields. However, I have heard such rumors. I heard that there are Players have rented one-third of the resources of a certain novice village, but I don’t know if it’s true or not.”
"Is there such a thing? Do you know who it is?" He was not sure whether Qinglong was talking about him. Only the nine elders of the inn knew about this matter, including Fat Brother.
"This is just a rumor, I don't know whether it is true or not. If it is true, it would be terrible. I still don't know how he did it." Qinglong didn't believe it was true at all, because the recharge The system is open at the same time. Before the recharge system was opened, players had no ability to rent the resources of the Novice Village.
After the recharge system is opened, the number of players in a novice village is tens of thousands. When everyone floods in to rent NPCs at the same time, the rental NPCs can only be rented out to a limit for each player.
Want to rent 30%? How many people should this require? Therefore, Qinglong still doesn't believe it and only regards it as a rumor.
"There are too many rumors in the game, true and false, false and true." It's not that Feng doesn't want to admit it, it's just that it's not necessary.
"That's right, let's not talk about this anymore. Where did we talk about just now." Qinglong didn't want to get entangled here.
"You said money comes first."
"The second is Quan." Qinglong continued.
"The jungle is a piece of cake, and everyone wants it. According to the law of the forest, the weak will eat the strong, and whoever has the biggest fist will definitely get it. But as a game, the situation of being dominated by one family is definitely not conducive to the development of the game. In order to prevent this When this situation arises, the official must control absolute power."
"How will the authorities control it?" Feng asked.
"I guess the six departments in the county are the departments that control power. Today is the last day for the Ministry of War activities. Tomorrow we will know what the so-called Ministry of War activities are? What impact will it have on our players."
"I believe Gang Leader Long has made sufficient preparations for tomorrow's military activities. Please give me some advice then." Feng
"You are a sword demon. You will definitely shine in tomorrow's military activity. I will ask for your help then." Tomorrow's military activity will definitely be more powerful and more advantageous. After seeing Feng's fighting power today, Qinglong was really envious. Although he was unwilling to do so, he could only accept it.
"Leader Long, how dare I call you Sword Demon in front of you? If you think highly of me, just call me Xiaofeng from now on." He felt that it was very inappropriate when he heard Qinglong calling himself Sword Demon one by one. Since he was sincere When you come to ask for advice, you must lower your attitude. Moreover, Qinglong is several years older than himself.
"Haha, in that case, from now on, I will call you Brother Feng. You don't want Gang Leader Long to call me like this in the future, just call me Brother Long." Qinglong was very happy when he saw that Feng had lowered his status, but Xiaofeng It is also inappropriate to call it this way.
"Brother Long."
"Brother Feng."
At this time, Qingfeng couldn't help but laugh.
Qinglong asked: "Qingfeng, what are you laughing at? Tell us and let us be happy too."
Qingfeng replied: "Boss, I just heard you guys changing your names to each other, and a joke suddenly came to my mind."
Feng asked: "What joke?"
"A joke about breast augmentation and breast enlargement" Qingfeng
"Breast augmentation? Brother Long." Feng
"Breast enlargement? Brother Feng." Qinglong
Suddenly, the three people in the reception room burst into laughter.
