Chapter 170: This girl knows how to play cards

"Sure, Lao Li, you bought this trending search."

Inside the Honghuang studio.

Lao Song was also surprised by the momentum of this new version after the update.

He didn't expect that what ultimately boosted the popularity of the game was not the most popular awakening of all professions, but an offline transaction of a piece of equipment.

One piece of equipment costs 10,000 yuan.

It is actually not uncommon nowadays.

There are many products on the market that are more expensive than this one.

But don't forget.

This piece of equipment does not require any enhancement!

You only need to clear the designated copy and get this equipment, and you can make a net profit of 10,000.

This means that anyone has a chance, even ordinary players.

It is precisely this feature that anyone can use that makes this weapon the focus of discussion among players, as if they see the hope of getting rich quickly.

He had to praise Lao Li for buying the hot searches well.

"Haha, after being with you two old foxes for a long time, I finally learned some skills." Old Li said proudly.

He is just a person who doesn't like to be praised.

Just a few words of praise would probably be enough to send you to the sky.

Lao Song shook his head helplessly: "Alright, you really got a breather after talking to me for a few words. Now the game is basically stable, but we still need to see the follow-up operations. Hurry up and build up the online game team. The previous scale was a bit insufficient."

At the beginning of online game operation, the investment was relatively large, so it did not make much money.

Now that we have finally stabilized the situation and are slowly starting to recover funds, we can't let it collapse so quickly.

After explaining the matter.

Old Song also came to the studio on the other side and found Chen Lin who was tinkering with the equipment with the employees.

"You're here? How's the situation with the online game team?"

Chen Lin stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"It has basically stabilized. I'm considering whether to open more pay-to-win projects." Lao Song said thoughtfully.

"A pay-to-win project..."

Chen Lin became serious after hearing this.

If he remembered correctly, the first wrong move made by DNF in the previous life was starting with the krypton gold project of the enhancement volume.

even.

The collapse of the entire gaming edifice.

It all started with this little prop.

With the emergence of enhancement scrolls, it has become easier for rich players to enhance their equipment to +13, which has immediately widened the gap between them and ordinary players, causing a large number of ordinary players to quit.

Moreover, under the abnormal attributes of the rich man's +13 equipment.

The top-level dungeons in the game are useless, basically they are completed in seconds, and there is no experience at all.

In order to retain wealthy players, Penguin had to forcibly launch a new version, adding more difficult copies and more advanced equipment to offset the adverse effects of the enhancement scrolls.

However, this has caused ordinary players to waste all the graduation equipment they have worked hard to save for several months, once again triggering a wave of quitting the game.

But even so.

The impact of the enhancement volume is still there.

Therefore, the official hurriedly launched new professions with various percentage damage in an attempt to fill the gap.

This action game is gradually transforming into an RPG game.

From then on, it was no longer about operation coordination and control, but it became a variety of hard indicators, and the boss used various domineering steel bars to switch stages.

The output is not up to standard and I can't pass it even if I break the keyboard.

Once the output meets the requirements, it immediately becomes a process-based game with no sense of operation at all.

Finally, I couldn't change it.

They simply gave up and launched a major shift version, overturning and redoing all the previous content, completely getting rid of the label of action game and moving further and further away.

You can say that.

DNF this life.

We have been planning and making up for our mistakes, and ultimately we have received both praise and criticism.

The fact that it has been able to maintain its prosperity for more than ten years can be described as a miracle.

As a practitioner in this industry.

Chen Lin was also clear about some of the rules contained therein.

It's not like what players think, that it's just about making money, but there is no choice at all.

Capital is behind.

All you can do is make money, make money, and make more money!

If you can't do it, then change someone.

It's that simple.

Games are just a tool for them to make money.

You think game planners don’t understand.

But it is precisely because they understand too well that they know that this is the only way they can survive.

The life and death of the game, and your own life and death.

They simply chose the latter.

This is also the reason why Chen Lin has always been unwilling to accept capital injection.

And this is precisely the basis of their great confidence!

"Go ahead. Some small krypton gold items like costumes, pets, fatigue medicine, etc. are fine. The rich have to be stronger than ordinary players to have the experience, but they can't be too strong. Especially the strengthening items, don't touch them for the time being."

Although doing so will result in a huge loss of immediate profits.

But it can completely control the future direction of the game and maintain the reputation of Honghuang.

Anyway, they don’t have the capital to support them, and they don’t need this game to make as much money as they did in their previous lives.

What's more, they also have such a large market for stand-alone machines.

Are you still worried about not making money?

"Okay, I'll ask someone to arrange it later, and we'll go online together during the next update ."

Old Song had no objection to this operating model and nodded in agreement.

Then he looked at the instrument next to him that Chen Lin had just tinkered with.

"This is... the AR and holographic projection equipment you recently brought back?"

"Yes, I've just asked someone to debug it, and it should be usable now. If you have time, you can stay and take a look at the trial version of the new game we're going to launch."

"New game?" Old Song was surprised.

Recently he has been busy with online gaming matters and recruiting people.

I only know that Chen Lin found Lao Li some time ago to discuss something secretly. It seemed to be about a new game. I didn’t expect it to be produced so quickly, and even used projection equipment.

Out of curiosity, he didn't rush to leave, but stayed where he was and observed.

After a while, hurried footsteps were heard.

The funny sister duo, Xiaoli and Xiaowei, hurried in from outside, their faces full of excitement.

"Mr. Chen, we are here!"

"Where's the new game? I heard from Brother Li that there's something fun for us to try out."

How could they miss such a good opportunity to play games during working hours? They rushed over as soon as they received the news.

"Ask them two to be responsible for the testing?" Old Song looked strange.

These two guys are capable of doing things, but their personalities are very eccentric and carefree, and they don't seem like serious girls at all.

Give them a test, but don't screw up the game.

"It's just a beta version. It's a good opportunity to see what the female players' feedback on this game will be."

Chen Lin smiled slightly and signaled the employee next to him to turn on the equipment.

In an instant.

The projection equipment lit up, and countless light particles gathered on the empty rectangular space, gradually forming several large characters visible to the naked eye.

Yu-Gi-Oh!

"Yu-Gi-Oh? What a strange name."

Old Song, who was standing aside, said in surprise.

“It was a little strange at first, but don’t underestimate it. This is a game series that could potentially become our second IP.”

"What did you say!?" Old Song was shocked.

Could this possibly become their second IP?

You have to know their first IP, "Monster Hunter".

Only two versions have been updated so far, but it has already achieved sales of over 7 million, making it well-deserved sales champion.

He didn't think Chen Lin would joke about such a thing.

Can be called the second IP, even if it is just possible.

It also means that in Chen Lin’s mind, this game has the potential to be as good as Monster Hunter!

At this moment, his entire expression changed.

Even the way he looked towards the field was somewhat different from before.

Chen Lin did not explain too much about this, but whispered: "Let's see the market response at that time. At least I think this game has this potential, especially after it is equipped with AR and holographic projection."

Yu-Gi-Oh!

In the past life, it was one of the most popular IPs in the world.

In the first year after NetEase obtained the mobile game agency rights, it created tremendous revenue in China, making many manufacturers jealous.

However, the mobile game market in this world has not yet taken off.

So he doesn't have any plans in that regard for now. He plans to start with the most basic stand-alone machine and slowly build up his reputation.

According to the rules, it is naturally impossible to put out Synchro, Excess, and Spirit right away.

The DM's rules still apply.

This is enough for them now.

"Okay, let's get started. The two of you stand on either side of the field and listen to my instructions."

At Chen Lin's signal, Xiaoli and Xiaowei came to both sides of the venue with great anticipation.

【The duel begins! 】

As soon as I stood still, a sound like a mechanical alarm sounded.

Along with the sound of jumping numbers, two numbers 4000 appeared above their heads.

The space under your feet also becomes a chess playing area under the influence of holographic projection.

Deck, Monster Zone, Backfield Cover Zone, Field Magic, Graveyard, Except...

When the familiar scene appeared, Chen Lin immediately nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad, the benchmark is adjusted very well. Now try to follow the instructions while I explain the rules to you to see if there are any mistakes or omissions."

"Ah? Are we going to start?"

Xiaoli and Xiaowei were stunned, and quickly looked at the device they had just worn on their hands, which looked like a card tray.

This thing was originally a projection control device.

Chen Lin asked someone to modify it and add a scanning function, so it became something similar to a duel disk.

It is not difficult for ordinary game companies to achieve this kind of thing, but the investment is too huge and no one is willing to do it.

He was able to do it successfully only because of the holographic projection technology rewarded by the system and the customized 3D images.

Otherwise it has to be done manually.

I don’t know when the images of those tens of thousands of cards will be completed.

Just thinking about it.

The two women on the stage also adapted to the equipment and looked at the rock-paper-scissors prompts on the duel screen.

"I...I'll produce the cloth!" Xiaoli said a little nervously.

"Who would shout out their own choices when playing rock-paper-scissors?" Old Song at the sidelines smiled and shook his head.

He didn't know the specific rules, but he knew the rock-paper-scissors game at the beginning.

Xiao Wei on the other side saw this and smiled slyly: "Then I'll use scissors, I win haha!"

"No! You are cheating, do it again!" Xiaoli was so angry that her face turned red.

"I didn't break any rules, so I don't want to." Xiaowei stuck out her tongue and laughed even louder.

In their hands, a famous game IP was turned into a rock-paper-scissors game.

Not to mention, it’s quite fun to play with this weird duel disk.

"Okay, never mind that, just keep going."

Chen Lin's voice rang out, interrupting the two people's antics and continuing to test seriously.

"Since I won, I'll go first and draw a card!"

According to the instructions on the duel disk, Xiaowei imitated the posture of the God of Gamblers in the movie, drew 5 cards from the deck and threw them out.

The silky movement made Chen Lin, who was standing next to him, eyes light up.

This girl has a talent for playing cards. It would be a shame if she didn’t dye her hair.

"Then...then I'll draw a card too."

Xiaoli also received the prompt and hurriedly drew 5 cards from the deck.

It was not until then that they discovered that these cards were specially customized, with very strange patterns on the borders, as if they were used for scanning by projection equipment.

Could it be that...

Do you want to use a projection device to project what's on the card?

The two had played many card battle games before, so they immediately guessed the functions of these cards and their eyes lit up.

once Upon a time.

They had also fantasized about being able to summon the handsome knights on the cards to protect them from the wind and rain.

What a romantic thing that would be.

With great anticipation , Xiaowei, who attacked first, picked up a monster card in her hand and placed it in the center of the duel disk.

"It's decided to be you, little angel!"

After the idiotic speech full of ritual, a scanning light indeed lit up on the duel disk and swept across the back of the card.

Swish!

The field burst into light.

It converged into a 3D projection in front of her half.
