Imperial capital.
In a certain community.
"Well......"
Yumi Qianliyan's mouth came out with a deep groan, and he opened his eyes in a daze.
The hum of the machine echoed in the room, and the words "Congratulations on passing the level" were displayed on the computer screen that had been up all night.
"Uh... I overplayed again last night." Brother Yan yawned, rubbed his messy hair, and got up from the bed.
Running on the computer is a three-year-old strategy game called "Array".
This game is a typical game that is well-received but not well-received. It has many strategic attributes but the entry threshold is too high. At the same time, the art optimization of "Array" is also like a ball of mud, which makes most players shy away from it.
However, for players like Brother Yan who have a paranoid attitude towards "strategy", it is so popular that he never gets tired of playing it for three years.
"I still haven't cleared the level without injury, I have a headache!" Yugi Clairvoyant looked pained, and lay back on the bed again, murmuring, "I always feel like there is something else going on today... Ah, yes, Pokémon !”
In the midst of his dying illness, Brother Yan sat up in shock and jumped out of bed with a "whoosh".
Last night, he was in such a hurry to download the broadcast because he thought of a new strategy in "Array" and wanted to try it quickly.
And this trial lasted the entire night.
As for the Pokémon torture video he promised the audience, he didn't move at all.
The game clairvoyant sat in front of the computer, exited "Array" skillfully, and opened the official page of the Carp Star Card House.
Since Pokémon is the latest flagship product, the most prominent position on the homepage of the store has been posted with a photo of Pikachu and the Gossip family.
Click the link with the mouse and the page will jump.
"Let me see how Lu Li cheated money." Game Clairvoyant showed a playful smile.
The game itself has not yet been released, so let’s use the price issue to torture Carp Star Card House.
"There are three versions of the game console?"
At first glance, Brother Yan saw the game console at the top of the page. It was divided into three versions: leaf green, fire red, and aqua blue, with Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle as gifts respectively.
Yes, Lu Li fulfilled the promise he made during the actual demonstration.
——Players can choose among the starting Pokémon.
"hiss......"
The game clairvoyant took a breath: "The game console is priced at 198 star coins and comes with a Pokémon star card. It seems to be a good deal."
Before Brother Yan could finish sighing, he saw other gift bags below.
Yusanjia Star Card, 49 star coins each.
In other words, as long as players spend less than 300 star coins, they can own a Pokémon game console and three Pokémon with different attributes.
After coming to this result, the corners of Yu Yu Clairvoyant's mouth twitched.
The flag he set in the live broadcast room before was to spend more than 300 star coins on Pokémon, either in women's clothing or cosplaying Pikachu.
He seriously suspected that the price of 296 star coins was caused by Yao Yao.
This is simply... too hard to pass up!
"Oh, all this money is for making videos, and the total is less than 300." Game Clairvoyant ordered the pre-order with integrity, "When the game arrives, I will definitely torture you."
...
There are many players like Game Clairvoyant.
Most of them are fans of traditional buyout fees, and they want to see how outrageous Carp Star Card House's method of selling games is.
However, what these players did not expect was the dizzying "gift package attack".
In addition to the Yusanjia Elf Star Cards, Lu Li also "thoughtfully" set up many other types of small combo packs on the Pokémon pre-sale interface.
For example, there is a "Novice Trainer Starting Gift Pack" that contains several Elf Star Cards, a "Thunder Cute Pet Gift Pack" that bundles Pikachu and Thunder Stone, and a "Tactics Master Gift Pack" with certain combination move learning machines.
Moreover, the official of the Carp Star Card House also thoughtfully wrote a description of the props below to let players understand the value of the gift pack.
These gift bags are dazzling and diverse, and the prices are just right, giving people a feeling that they will lose money if they don’t buy them, which makes people excited.
For players in this world, they have never seen new things like "first deposit gift packs", "monthly cards", and "battle orders".
But Lu Li, as a veteran in the game industry in his previous life, was very familiar with the various charging methods of games. Setting up a few gift packages was as easy as breathing.
Ever since, some Blackfish players like Brother Eye entered the Pokémon pre-sale interface with the purpose of looking for black spots, but when they came out, they bought several things inexplicably...
...
Jinling City.
The boss who stayed up late and worked overtime had just woken up.
He picked up his phone and looked at the "questioning Pokémon group".
It's not even nine o'clock in the morning, and nearly 300 messages have already been posted in the group.
The latest message came from an active group leader: "I'm so impressed. Lu Li is not only awesome at making games, he's also a marketing genius."
"Uh...what happened?" Qian Jing asked curiously.
The leader of the Kuaipao group immediately replied: "Mr. Qian, didn't you see the Pokémon pre-sale interface? Last night, Carp Star Card House launched a lot of products. It was like a knife to our ass - it was an eye-opener."
"I don't understand what you young people are saying..." Qian Jing typed speechlessly, "Does the product refer to paid props?"
"Yes." The group leader said, "As a game businessman, Lu Li's marketing operations are indeed worthy of our consideration. He may have opened up new directions for us."
It can be seen from the tone that the leader of the Kuaipao group is already a little convinced.
"So exaggerated?" Qian Jing was doubtful.
"Mr. Qian, you can take a look." The group leader posted a screenshot, "Of course, we have to take another look at the profitability of this model. After all, we are still in the novice stage of Pokémon, so we can't draw conclusions too early. .”
"What the hell..." Mr. Qian mumbled and clicked on the breakthrough.
Gift bags of various colors are dazzling the eyes.
"Holy shit!" Mr. Qian was startled, "Is it so outrageous?"
...
With the help of gift packages, the sales of Carp Star Card House continue to soar.
This situation is as turbulent as a wave, leaving all players with no doubt that Pokémon can break the record of "Mario Brothers" in terms of three-day sales.
Now they want to know more about how much Pokémon can surpass the three-day sales record of 510,000 copies.
Soon, three days passed by in a hurry.
Amidst the high expectations, Carp Star Card House also appeared on time and gave a three-day pre-sale sales poster on the official website.
】
The cute Pikachu holds a scroll in its claws.
It says, Congratulations on the three-day sales of the "Pokémon" game reaching 978,654 copies!
More than 970,000 copies.
This is the answer sheet Pokémon gives everyone.
