"So everyone, please sign."
At Lu Li's signal, three girls walked up to Carp Star Card House.
Everyone held a thick stack of paper in their hands.
"This is the cooperation agreement to form the Pokémon Alliance. Counting our Carp Star Card House, there are 65 copies in total." Lu Li took out the signature pen from the storage card and said, "I will give you a little time to complete the final steps."
Under Lu Li's command, three staff members, one per row, distributed a paper agreement to everyone present.
Each president transformed into an assembly line worker, signed his name at the corresponding position, pressed his fingerprint, and then passed the signed agreement to the next person, while he took the contract handed over by the previous person and signed again.
The speed of signing and depositing is very fast, but after all, there are too many agreements to be made and it takes a lot of time.
Just as everyone was immersed in signing, someone suddenly asked: "Mr. Lu, when is Pokémon expected to be officially released? Just give us an approximate time, and we can make arrangements when we go back."
"In terms of time, it might be tight."
Lu Li signed his name handsomely and said: "Our Carp Star Card House plans to hold a live demonstration of Pokémon this weekend. If nothing goes wrong, the official launch of the game will be tentatively scheduled for next weekend."
Upon hearing this answer, everyone present stopped writing and raised their heads to look at the young man in front of them.
"next week......?"
Many people repeated in unison, feeling that they had heard wrongly.
Carp Star Card House releases games too quickly.
Tetris debuted in September, "Mario Bros." became a god in October, "Mario Maker" came out in November, "Cat Mario" came out in December, and now Pokémon will be released in January?
"Yes, it's next week." Lu Li confirmed without raising his head.
After the audience was silent for a moment, Qian Jing said weakly: "Mr. Lu, I would like to take the liberty to ask, how long is the development cycle of Pokémon? It's not that long since the release of Carp Star Card House's last game, right?"
"Well..." Lu Li smiled, "We didn't do the preparatory work. If we just refer to game development, it only took half a month."
"game development?"
"Yes." Lu Li nodded. "The idea for the Pokémon project came from a friend of mine. The job of Carp Star Card House is just to make it into a game."
On the surface, the friend Lu Li mentioned was the anonymous online writer, but in fact, he was talking about Blue Star from his previous life.
The corners of Qian Jing's mouth twitched.
No matter how thorough the preliminary preparations are, it only takes half a month to deliver the finished game. It’s too much, isn’t it?
Pokémon is not a defective game, right?
Looking at the elegant signature on the agreement, Uncle Qian fell into deep thought.
"What are you worried about?"
Bai Peiqi waved a thick stack of paper in her hand and made a "swiping" sound: "I've signed six copies here, why don't you get stuck?"
"Oh, give it to me first." Qian Jing just woke up from a dream.
This old friend of mine is as shrewd as a ghost. If he even chooses to cooperate with Carp Star Card House, then there must be no problem.
sign!
...
That night.
The news that Carp Star Card House invested one billion and that more than 60 companies in the alliance jointly operate Pokémon spread like wildfire and exploded on the Star Network like a bombshell.
A Pokémon discussion thread was immediately opened on the game forum: "One billion star coins, dozens of companies have formed alliances. Can anyone explain what this concept is?"
Don't make games: "I am a senior developer in the game industry. According to incomplete statistics, the most expensive game in the Eastern Federation is currently the ideal computer game - "Star Mage", which costs about 1,100 Ten thousand star coins.”
Daily game shortage: "Is this a hundred times worse? One billion star coins, what the heck, I think Lu Li used the money from researching star card computers to make games, right?"
"..."
With such a hot topic, self-media workers are not idle either.
The next morning, Pokémon-related videos topped the Xingli Xingli rising list.
The up who uploaded this video is called Game Clairvoyant. Like Fatyou Frontier, he is an up owner who produces game information.
It’s just that Fat You’s videos tend to be more about casual conversations, while Clairvoyant’s videos are generally analytical.
In this video titled "It took me three days to compile all the information about Pokémon", Game Clairvoyant summarizes the news that has been circulated through all channels since Carp Star Card House released "Family Bird".
In addition to the "one billion" that went viral on the Internet, the video is more about exploring the game form of Pokémon.
Including the idea of establishing "Pokémon Habitats" in various cities, as well as the model of charging for props.
"The concept of habitat is indeed a generous move. It can bring a better gaming experience to players all over the federation. On this point, I want to give Carp Star Card House a thumbs up."
The game clairvoyant adjusted his glasses and changed the subject: "However, I cannot accept the charging model for props!"
In the next few minutes, Game Clairvoyant briefly described the concept of the game console and the Pokéball Star Card.
Later, he continued: "The game industry has developed for so many years, and it has always been a buyout fee. Players only need tens to hundreds of star coins to experience all the content of the game."
"And where are the Pokémon?"
"According to rumors, players will have to spend nearly a few thousand star coins to collect all the Pokémon in the first stage. Isn't this a money trap?"
After Kang spoke passionately, the game clairvoyant said: "Anyway, I will only buy the game itself and a Pokémon star card to make a game review. As for other money, I will not give a single star coin to Carp. Star Card House!”
“Resisting charging for props starts with me!”
Originally, the comments below the video were all seriously discussing the pros and cons of the prop charging model.
After all, game clairvoyant fans like to read analysis, and they are also relatively rational.
However, the arrival of an uninvited guest threw the entire comment section into chaos.
Fat Travel's front line: "Xiao Qianzi, please listen to my advice and really don't set up a flag in front of Carp Star Card House."
The appearance of this senior standing flag made the players happy.
Players who didn't mind watching the excitement started checking in on this floor one after another, wanting to see if the clairvoyant would become the licking dog of the Carp Star Card House like Fat You.
