Chapter 305: Other People's World
Someone once said.
Necessity has never been the main incentive for the emergence of new inventions, laziness is.
I got a bicycle because I was too lazy to walk.
Washing machines were invented because we were too lazy to do clothes.
I was too lazy to have children, so I had...
In short.
The emergence of automatic iron brushing machine.
This is undoubtedly the product of being too lazy to kill monsters.
But it caused a huge response.
Many players who are currently playing "Minecraft" felt like they had an epiphany and opened the door to a new world after seeing the video of automatic monster spawning that was circulated.
It turns out that this game can be played like this!
For a while.
A large number of players flocked into the game and began to experiment with various lazy devices.
Gradually, they discovered that each prop and even each block in "Minecraft" has endless uses.
When combined, there are countless variations, and even various unexpected chemical changes!
This discovery immediately made the players ecstatic. They began to study various tricks tirelessly. Once they made a new discovery, they would immediately show off in the group.
In this atmosphere.
Even those netizens who have never paid attention to this game have been aroused by their curiosity and started searching online to learn more about it.
…
"Haha! It worked! Xun'er, Xiaoqian, and Yaya, come and see, the two pigs I brought back earlier have given birth!"
The voices of joy and encouragement echoed in the live broadcast room.
Ouyang Xiao was seen with excitement, looking at the extra piglets in the pigpen, holding the carrots that had not been fed yet in his hands.
"Where?"
"Did you give birth?"
"I'll go back and check right away."
A voice sounded in the voice channel.
After a while, Xun'er and others crossed the small river and wooden bridge outside the village and hurried back.
After a week of reproduction and growth, each of them has changed into a set of iron equipment, and their strength has been greatly improved.
However, the biggest change was in their camp.
With the hard work of four people.
The original simple wooden house has long since turned into a village with small bridges, flowing water, and pleasant scenery.
Not only are there many more duplex houses, but there are also more floral decorations and huge flower trees.
In addition, there is a wooden fenced backyard filled with vegetables and fruits, and chickens, cows, sheep and pigs.
It looks like a paradise on earth.
"Huh? There really is an extra piglet. How did you do that, Sister Xiao'er?"
The three people who rushed back were surprised to see the pigsty becoming lively.
You have to know that it took them a lot of effort to drive these two pigs into the pigsty, and they kept shouting and screaming for more than half an hour before they were finally driven into the pigsty .
It is naturally very rare to see a baby being born nowadays.
There is one more member in their village.
"I just got some carrots outside to feed them, and when I came back, there was an extra piglet. So I guess they need to be fed something specific to induce labor." Ouyang Xiao explained happily.
"So that's how it is. I was wondering why they didn't give birth before. I almost thought they were two males." Yaya said with sudden enlightenment.
This new discovery is undoubtedly good news for them.
This way, you can have a stable supply of meat and you don't have to worry about starving to death due to running too far.
After a long chattering, they gave the pig a name, and Xun'er said:
"By the way, I have found a way to synthesize glass, so I want to build a house with a sea view. Does anyone of you need it?"
"Got the glass?!"
"I want it! I want a room with a sea view!"
"I want one too!"
They have wanted glass for a long time and wanted to build more modern buildings, but they have never found a way to make it.
Hearing what Xun'er said, their attention was immediately drawn and they began to discuss the style of the house and what materials were needed.
In the live broadcast room, the barrage was also very lively.
Many people who don't have time to play games due to work or school also posted barrages to discuss their experiences in the game.
"I also got the iron brushing machine that came out yesterday. I finally achieved iron freedom."
"My roommate and I opened an ice and snow world and are planning to build a snow country."
"Diamonds are hard to come by. Does anyone know where there are more of them?"
"I agree with you. I haven't even collected enough materials for one piece of diamond equipment yet, and I'm almost digging the mine to hell."
"Hey, don't tell me, we accidentally made a portal with obsidian and actually teleported to hell."
I have to say.
"Minecraft" is really an addictive game.
Even if it is just ordinary mining and building houses, such ordinary and repetitive tasks, countless people enjoy it and don’t even notice the passage of time.
It’s like concentrating on something that interests you and entering a state of ecstasy.
When I suddenly looked up, I realized that several hours had passed, but I still felt a little unsatisfied, as if I had not done a lot of things.
Even if I am exhausted after work or school.
I couldn't help but open the game to dig some minerals, synthesize some supplies, and add a few bricks to the house.
This is the charm of Minecraft.
but.
Just based on this.
If it wants to surpass the sales volume driven by Ren Tiandi's huge investment, it is obviously not enough.
Although the gap between the two is narrowing little by little, it is basically impossible to completely eliminate the advantages of releasing the game one month earlier and offering discounts on hundreds of popular games in a short period of time.
The most important point.
The idea that Nintendo is the number one console has long been ingrained in the hearts of many players and is not so easily shaken.
Tang Jun and his other powerful senior executives could only watch helplessly as they were suppressed by Ren Tiandi, no matter how unwilling they were.
"The winner has been decided. It's already very good that Juying can force Ren Tiandi to this point."
Game manufacturers are also paying close attention to the competition between the two console platforms and are not surprised by this result.
It’s just a pity that he failed to shake Ren Tiandi’s position as the big brother.
Because for them, the situation of the snipe and the clam fighting each other is what they most want to see.
Only when Nintendo feels that its position is threatened will it make concessions to manufacturers in order to get more games on its own platform.
Today, Tiandi is still the only dominant family.
Naturally, their ideas were dashed.
"Being able to bridge the gap of two weeks with a pixel game is much better than I thought."
" Indeed, no one expected that the game Honghuang would be so popular, directly allowing Juying to catch up with the global market share of two percentage points."
"If it were any other 3A game, it might not be able to reach this level."
"It's a pity that due to the limitations of pixel art, it still couldn't beat Nintendo's escort masterpiece."
Voices filled with regret are everywhere.
Everyone felt that Juying was doomed to fail this time.
until.
More than a month later.
On the homepage of station b.
A "Minecraft" game recording video suddenly appeared!
The video was very short, only more than two minutes long, but as soon as it appeared, it immediately blew up the entire gaming community.
Because it was actually a spontaneously formed team of players who spent nearly two months building the fairy mountain gate using countless blocks!
The scenes are realistic and the mountains and rivers are gorgeous.
All the players who clicked in were amazed.
I couldn't believe that it was made of stacked blocks from the game, and I couldn't believe that someone could accomplish such a feat.
"Too powerful! He actually built an entire mountain gate for cultivating immortals!"
“Even the mountains, rivers and vegetation were done!”
“How many blocks does it take to do this?”
"At least 100 or 200,000 yuan, right?"
"Could it be that there is a person growing on the liver?"
"I smell the aroma of graphics cards."
“Is this someone else’s world?”
Countless players came to watch the video, and comments on the video were overwhelming.
While they were still working hard for their small village, some big guys had already completed such an exaggerated building.
Only those who have played this game will know the terrifying amount of work, which is almost enough to make them kneel down.
This is not over yet!
Not long after coming out of Xianxia Mountain Gate.
MC (Minecraft) videos on major platforms have exploded like a blowout.
Players who had been silent for more than a month began to upload their masterpieces.
There is the splendor of Peach Garden, the underwater Dragon Palace, the Snow Country Castle, the Castle in the Sky, and even the Gundam mecha that has been magnified countless times.
Pick any one of them and countless MC players will feel their livers aching and be shocked at the same time.
But what they didn't expect the most.
The video was released by an account called "National Architect CW". It took the hot pot city as the theme and built a huge city in the shape of a hot pot.
"I'm not seeing things, am I? Guo Jian??"
“Even Guojian is playing this game!”
"They are all the top construction bosses in the country!"
"Is my world so impressive?"
"This is incredible! This video is going to go viral!"
The emergence of the national team of architects undoubtedly caused a huge sensation.
Not to mention MC players, even those who don’t play this game, as well as netizens in the construction industry, rushed to see the work of their team upon hearing the news.
It was not until this moment that "Minecraft" finally broke through the circle and spread rapidly on the domestic Internet!
What is even more incredible to the players is...
At this time, a group of well-known foreign gaming tycoons suddenly launched a shocking epic plan, saying that they had worked together to create a world archive and were ready to restore the earth 1:1!
Anyone who likes this game can join in and be responsible for restoring the landscape of their hometown, with no time limit.
When this news came out, the world was shocked.
But there are also many players who are extremely excited and have joined this great plan.
Because they also want to recreate their beloved hometown in the game with their own hands.
Even if it is just one of the most famous buildings, it can show their long-standing culture to players from all over the world.
It only took a week.
This project, called BuiltTheEarth, has attracted more than 50,000 people from all over the world.
It was because of a game that people crossed national boundaries and worked towards a common goal.
Regardless of whether it can be completed or not, this point alone instantly elevates the game concept of "Minecraft"!
As a result, news about this game began to appear frequently on the homepages of game forums in various countries, attracting countless people to watch.
…
"Exceeded! Sales exceeded!"
Excited shouts echoed in the Juying Division.
An employee was running down the aisle with a report in his hand and an excited look on his face.
Hearing the noise, Tang Jun and several other senior executives all rushed over in a hurry, like frightened birds.
Because now is the critical time for them to compete with Ren Tiandi.
"Have you come up with the latest sales statistics? Show them to me now!"
Tang Jun impatiently snatched the report from the employee's hand and read it carefully.
When I saw the sales summary of each branch below, my heart was shocked.
"18 million!"
There was a strong sense of shock in his voice.
If he remembered correctly, the real-time sales volume announced by Nintendo last week was 16.5 million units, which was 4 million more than theirs. They actually surpassed them!
You have to know that the sales of consoles have been increasing more slowly as time goes by, and in the last two weeks the total sales have not even reached one million.
18 million consoles are equivalent to 18 million more players, which are real paying groups.
As long as everyone buys five or six games, the game sales on their platform will directly exceed 100 million!
This also made him finally realize one thing.
"We...all underestimated the game Honghuang."
"Or rather, we simply don't know how terrible it is!"
