EBE Chapter 68: Wan Daguan Pass Has Been Breached!
Chapter 68: Wan Daguan Pass Has Been Breached!
A few days later, Langyu Studio.
The most prominent screen in the lobby is displaying the real-time online player count for "Three Kingdoms Kill" on the [PLG] platform.
【9998, 362】
【9963, 467】
...
Many employees focused their attention on this, and their hearts raced as the numbers above changed!
Although the three elders, Lin Lang, Chen Nan, and Shen Qi, had seen this number countless times, they were still extremely excited today!
They are about to witness history once again!
"Breaking ten million! Breaking ten million!"
It's unclear who started shouting this, but all the employees around were caught up in the atmosphere and joined in shouting slogans!
"Breaking ten million! Breaking ten million!"
The next second! The number on the screen broke through to eight digits!
【10, 000, 063】
Today, our user base has finally surpassed ten million!
"Wow! Ten million!" The employees hugged and celebrated, including long-time employees like Zhang Yang, Huang Bin, and Bai Xiaotong.
I was equally excited when I saw this!
This number also represents their hard work during this period!
You have to understand how many millions there are between ten million and one million!
Only Tencent's "Cyber Future" has achieved this feat of surpassing 10 million users, and their current user base is stable at around 30 million.
The reason why even the most popular games have so few users is due to the scarcity of games available in DaXia.
Many people have gone to play games from the US!
Therefore, it is already a remarkable achievement that "Three Kingdoms Kill" has managed to surpass ten million users in such a short period of time!
Shen Qi operated the computer and brought up the game's detailed data.
Three Kingdoms Kill
[Number of users: 5,023,031]
[Game Ranking: Second Place]
[Daily Active Users: Ranked #1]
Rating: 4.8
[History Competition Games Ranking: Second Place]
The game "Three Kingdoms Kill" has finally broken into second place, and in terms of speed, it has already surpassed the growth of "Cyber Future" at that time.
This is a record-breaking achievement!
Qian Jin, who had only recently joined Langyu Studio, was even more surprised by this data!
"As expected! Joining Langyu Studio was the right decision! They really can do it!"
Although he hadn't paid much attention to the performance of "Three Kingdoms Kill" before, he had followed the data of Tencent games when he worked at Tencent!
While it hasn't surpassed Cyberse in terms of user numbers yet, it has already achieved success in other aspects!
Moreover, given the current growth rate, it's perfectly normal for it to surpass it!
The Three Kingdoms Kill streamer tournament was a huge success!
Previously, a small studio would never have dared to do this!
But Langyu Studio has already done it, and its future goals are not limited to that. It aims to create a new game platform that surpasses Tencent in every aspect!
"President Lin! We've finally broken through ten million! I'm so happy!" After hugging her female colleague, Bai Xiaotong set her sights on Lin Lang.
A bright smile appeared on her face, and two dimples appeared on her cheeks.
Let's celebrate our achievements without doing anything wrong!
But as soon as she finished speaking, she felt that the touch in her arms was a little different. Why was it so thin?
"Happy, everyone's happy!" Shen Qi's cool voice reached her ears.
Bai Xiaotong quickly released her grip, pouting, and muttered softly, "Why is it you..."
Shen Qi snorted. Luckily, she was quick-witted and nimble-fingered, otherwise this crazy girl would have really succeeded!
"Don't forget your work while you're having fun! Have you finished the short film that General Manager Lin asked you to make?"
"...not yet."
"Then let's get back to work! Everyone's having fun, but don't forget our next task!"
After educating Bai Xiaotong, Shen Qi organized everyone to go back to work.
Seeing this, Lin Lang nodded: "We also need to hurry up with the new version and new platform. Let's all work harder! There will be generous rewards for completing the tasks!"
"President Lin is so generous!" xN
They initially didn't believe the benefits Mr. Lin mentioned, thinking it was just empty promises from the boss. But they gradually realized that Mr. Lin was different from others.
I will definitely keep my word. Although it may take a while at first, I will not make empty promises like others!
Bai Xiaotong kept blinking at Lin Lang, pretending to be bullied.
But Lin Lang was already used to it; this girl always acted this way when Shen Qi bullied her.
"Why are you so upset with Shen Qi? Don't you think about the impact on the company with so many people around you?" Lin Lang walked up to her and whispered.
Bai Xiaotong's eyes lit up upon hearing this. Did that mean they could spend time alone together?
"Then let's wait until tonight, when there are fewer people!"
Lin Lang: ...What outrageous words!
Before Lin Lang could speak, Shen Qi walked over and took her away.
"This is the company. Just focus on your work and don't do anything sneaky!"
"Ugh! Why did you spank me?! Humph! You'll do the same!"
After the brief incident, the employees returned to their workstations and resumed their tasks.
Now they are even more motivated, for the upcoming new version update or the release of a new platform!
Next month's [Game Awards] will definitely see "Three Kingdoms Kill" achieve great results!
come back to the office.
Shen Qi pulled up the data from "Hero Kill" and showed it to Lin Lang.
"Mr. Lin, the hype surrounding 'Hero Kill' has gradually subsided recently, but its user base has still surpassed seven million!"
Lin Lang placed his hands on the table and began to examine the data for "Hero Kill".
Hero Kill
[Number of users: 5,023,031]
[Game Ranking: Third Place]
[Daily Active Users: Second Place]
Rating: 3.2
Since this game did not participate in the "historical competition," its only rival in this regard is "Cyber Future."
As for why the rating is so low, it's a plagiarized game that made so many confusing moves in the early stages, so the rating is bound to be low!
Lin Lang had already anticipated this outcome.
A similar game will definitely draw away a large number of users, especially since this is a Tencent product, with a huge user base and a brand new game.
It was inevitable that they would achieve such results!
It can only be said that the Three Kingdoms Kill streamer competition successfully redeemed itself this time, but if they continue to plagiarize, they may very well catch up.
"Have they been up to anything lately?"
"Yes, Mr. Lin!"
Shen Qi then pulled up the official website of "Hero Kill," which not only showed that a "Hero Kill" streamer tournament would be held next week, but also that the 2v2 mode had been copied from it, and the new version was officially launched.
"President Lin, they're as shameless as ever!" Shen Qi frowned slightly, clearly dissatisfied with Tencent's actions.
He's already been labeled a plagiarism master by netizens, how can he still have the nerve to plagiarize!
"This isn't the first time you've seen their true colors. Isn't it normal for them to do this?"
Lin Lang was already used to Tencent's actions, so he began to observe what their event would be like.
Hero Kill Bounty Tournament.
The name sounds nice, but the content is just the same as the streamer competition!
Lin Lang shook his head and continued reading. The entire competition format and the players were exactly the same as the "Three Kingdoms Kill" streamer competition, with no difference at all.
But as Lin Lang continued reading, he noticed something different.
[This competition has invited two heavyweight celebrities to provide commentary, so stay tuned!]
Tencent really knows how to stir things up; they're planning to invite celebrities, thinking it will increase the competition's popularity and make it more entertaining.
That definitely increases the popularity of the competition; fans will definitely come to support it immediately.
At that time, the live stream will not only have players, but also fans supporting them!
But since it's just a game competition, if even the commentators aren't professional, will people be more interested in the game or the celebrities?
What would happen if viewers made fun of the commentators' lack of professionalism and started arguing with the fans?
Lin Lang shook his head and clicked on another report. This report was obviously about launching the 2v2 mode first in the game "Hero Kill".
Upon seeing this, a smile appeared on Li Mo's lips; he didn't care much about this.
Tencent will copy it sooner or later, but why did they bring out the new 2v2 mode? Didn't they think they had a backup plan?
The 2v2 mode was just the prelude to this competition, designed to pique everyone's interest in the next update of "Three Kingdoms Kill".
The real killer move, however, lies in the Dou Dizhu (Landlord) mode!
I guess Wang Lin and the others have forgotten what this Happy Bean is for!
"Is the [PLG] platform still the same as before?" Lin Lang asked again after reading it.
The moment this issue was brought up, Shen Qi's expression became even more furious.
"Yes, Mr. Lin, not only that, they also removed our featured position, and there's no longer any news about 'Three Kingdoms Kill' on the homepage!"
The game recommendations on the PLG platform homepage are determined based on the number of online game users this month, so in theory, "Three Kingdoms Kill" should be included.
Lin Lang stroked his chin: "The new platform needs to be finalized as soon as possible. Tencent's actions are becoming increasingly inhumane. You need to keep a close eye on Tencent's latest developments!"
Lin Lang increasingly felt that his idea of creating a new platform was correct. What kind of game could possibly succeed under such suppression?
It's time for a change in the landscape of gaming!
"Yes, Mr. Lin!" Shen Qi put away her laptop. "There's one more thing, Mr. Lin. The top three finishers in this competition will be here today to sign contracts. The scheduled time is 1 p.m.
"Okay, I understand!"
Lin Lang nodded. It was quite a coincidence, really.
Zitai and the others also agreed to come today, and it's a good opportunity to announce their appointment as brand ambassadors during the live broadcast!
.....
Meanwhile, inside Donghai City Airport.
Two cosplayers dressed in extremely exaggerated costumes and a photographer who kept laughing appeared, and the passersby around them looked at the three of them with strange eyes.
"Hahaha! You two look so handsome right now! Come on, you two stand still, I'm going to take a picture of you two!"
"Master Tai, do we really have to go to the Langyu Studio fully clothed...?"
"Yes, Mr. Tai, please do us a favor!"
