The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 119: Sex, everyone who comes has to call me big brother! (Ask for monthly tickets in the middle of the month)
Buying traffic for second-hand tourists has become a routine operation in the industry.

To some extent, it has even become an indispensable part.

The battle for attention between Dream Building and Konjac Games further raised the already rising cost of buying traffic.

What’s even more frightening is that the price of buying traffic is higher, but the conversion rate is lower!

On July 7, a "mid-level" game "Song of Kara" also released a version preview.

Although this game is not among the top ones, it has its own stable player base, and with fixed marketing funding, it is doing pretty well.

Every time a version preview is released, the live broadcast room can get nearly a million hits, and the preview post comment section can get four to five thousand comments.

But this time, because of the "war" between "Frost and Snow Project" and "Divine Bird", the cost of buying traffic was raised by Konjac Games to almost doubled!
Even though they gritted their teeth and spent the money, the popularity of the live broadcast room still declined by more than 30%.

There are only 1,300 comments in the comment section.

The data has plummeted!

As for those that were already half-dead, their daily activity has dropped to the point where they can no longer report to their bosses.

On July 7, the day before the preview war started, a new game called "Wind Voyage", which had announced its public beta date three months ago, could not afford the current high cost of buying traffic, and had no confidence in attracting enough players' attention in this war, so it directly announced a delay.

The announcement of the delay did not even give a clear launch time.

These are just the two worst-off companies; the rest of our competitors aren’t doing well either.

New events, new announcements, and even sweepstakes have all seen a noticeable decline in player activity!
——The players’ attention was all focused on this battle, and they were reluctant to share any time with them.

Only the big brother "Abyss of the Gods" is large enough to sit back and watch the excitement calmly.

——For "God's Abyss", there is no rival when it comes to spending money; there is also no rival when it comes to the total number of players and community stickiness.

A brief drop in popularity, totally harmless.

The only one who can defeat them is themselves - the planning team has made several outrageous moves that angered players, causing old players to feel resentful and their popularity among passers-by has slightly collapsed.

But relying on its amazing global foundation, it can still sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

There is no way. The family business is too huge. Even if I want to squander it, it will take a long time.

So the situation became...

Players can’t wait for the Forward War to arrive, and competitors are also looking forward to it coming soon... and then it will end quickly, and everyone will return to normal and not do anything so exciting anymore.

Only the development team of "Nations", which ranked fourth and only slightly behind the third "Bird of Gods", had different thoughts when they saw the immediate effect:

Can I learn this trick and find an opponent to fight with?
……

……

Under this state of public attention, July 7th finally arrived.

This battle of popularity has finally come to a decisive moment.

The preview starts at 19:00, but viewers started to pour into the live broadcast rooms of "Frost and Snow Project" and "Divine Bird" from 18:00.

【18: 30】

The official accounts of both parties issued live broadcast reminders, and the dark live broadcast room also lit up, playing the background music of their own games.

The speed at which players poured in began to skyrocket, and the popularity of both sides’ live broadcast rooms also began to soar at a rate of tens of thousands per minute!

——Everyone has been ready to go and can’t wait!
A lot of people even open two live broadcast rooms just to get the hottest news first!

Ten minutes before the preview began, because there were too many viewers in the live broadcast room, a large number of viewers noticed that the live broadcast room began to lag and the dynamic image serving as the background became blurred.

Obviously, excessive bandwidth pressure triggered the platform's intelligent adjustments.

But the operations of "Frost and Snow Project" and "Divine Bird" are not for free, and they had long anticipated the occurrence of this incident.

Song Zhicheng had already contacted the P station live broadcast department in advance through Meng Hui, the contact person for "Frost and Snow Project".

Less than 30 seconds after the live broadcast room became stuck and blurry, the live broadcast department quickly completed the capacity expansion and added lines, making the live broadcast room clear and smooth again.

However, "Shen Niao" did not sign an agency agreement with P Station. It was a simple buyer-seller relationship, so it was inevitably a bit slow to handle.

The audience was stuck for 10 minutes before the problem was finally completely solved.

【19: 00】

When the host showed up and the preview was finally launched, the popularity of the two live broadcast rooms was:
Project Frost and Snow:
Number of people in the live broadcast room [9999+], popularity [830 million].

Divine Bird:
Number of people in the live broadcast room [9999+], popularity [740 million].

But this number only lasted for a moment.

The next second, the popularity of the live broadcast room of "Divine Bird" began to soar at a speed of tens of thousands per second!
It easily broke through 800 million, rushed through 830 million, and finally stopped at [850 million]!

This rapid increase cannot be explained by "foresight began and players naturally flocked in."

Because at this time, "Frost and Snow Project" had just risen to 840 million.

During the same period, the price of "Frost and Snow Project" increased by 10, while that of "Bird of God" increased by 110 million...

This outrageous data change was immediately noticed by the audience.

The two live broadcast rooms also became lively instantly. The people who were having fun ignored the host's greeting and started chatting directly:
"10 million views in 110 seconds, are you convinced?"

"It's the power of money! The Divine Bird uses the power of money!"

"The Konjac Game has no moral principles!"

"Martial virtue? Ha, it seems there are still too many new players. When will the Konjac game be passed?"

"Build a dream! P station is asking you to recharge!"

……

These comments are destined to receive no response.

In order to ensure stability, most of the so-called preview live broadcasts in the second game are actually recorded broadcasts.

Especially since the popularity of this event is so high, both parties are worried that a mistake could cause serious consequences, so they recorded the show. This is no longer a secret in the eyes of the second-tier game players.

They also had no intention of interacting with the official team and just watched the live broadcast while chatting about their own things.
-
Phase 1: Release PV.

The PV content of "Divine Bird" is a brand new sky island - that is, a new map.

A more three-dimensional sky island with beautiful scenery of four seasons.

From the bird's-eye view, the scenery of spring, summer, autumn and winter can be seen at the same time, and the picture is breathtakingly beautiful.

But an unknown crisis suddenly appeared. The snow in the permafrost began to melt, the temperature in the rainforest continued to rise, and plants and animals faced a survival crisis...

Players encounter a new partner on this sky island - the female priestess Laurna.

And he and the girl passed the test, entered the ancient ruins hidden inside the sky island, explored the source of the disaster, and stopped the spreading disaster...

……

This PV level is naturally extremely high.

The map design is also quite brilliant.

But the players' attention was all focused on the new character - the young priestess Laurna.

The girl has a pair of round white angel wings on her back. She is wearing a white gauze sacrificial robe with gold edges on her upper body, and a white gauze skirt with mysterious patterns drawn on it with gold thread on her lower body.

Further down, there are only translucent white socks and wooden slippers.

Holding an ancient staff in his hand, his face looked pure and innocent.

The perfect blend of purity and holiness and sexual exposure!
The host was also very knowledgeable, and then the PV began to introduce Larina's background story, skill characteristics, role positioning and other content.

The live broadcast room quickly ushered in its first small climax, and the barrage of comments surged like a tide:
“Ahhh, the Divine Bird has finally gotten the hang of it!!!”

"Invincible, is this the style of clothing that primitive people wore during sacrifice? Love it!"

"Don't stop me. I'm going to find a big truck to go through and find Laerna!"

"I have already bought the plane ticket. I will go to the primitive tribe in the Amazon rainforest to find a wife tomorrow!"

"I'm so fucking excited!"

"388 draws, I'll win!"

……

Fei Zhiyuan sat in the office, and was satisfied to see that after the character was officially revealed, the players' feedback was exactly the same as that during the small-scale internal testing.

The popularity of the live broadcast room is rising again.

And this time, it’s no longer based on money!

He glanced at the popularity of the "Frost and Snow Project" live broadcast room next to him and nodded with satisfaction:

"Good, we'll take the first place."
-
The popularity of "Frost and Snow Project" is indeed slightly behind.

Because planner Lu Cong and artist Ding Nian appeared in person and took some time to greet everyone and express their gratitude, the PV was released a step late.

And the content of the PV is indeed slightly inferior to that of "The Divine Bird" -

At the beginning of the PV, new content about the big world was released as usual.

But the big world of "Frost and Snow Project" was not amazing at all. It was only after Xu Meng's continuous improvement in production tools and technical talents that it finally had a highlight - large quantity and enough food for everyone.

Compared with the "Divine Bird" team, which relies on large-world content, has nearly two years of mature development experience, and has produced 16 sky islands of various sizes, it is slightly inferior after all.

However, with the appearance of new characters, this passive situation was quickly reversed!
When it comes to sex, building dreams is the big brother!
In this regard, let alone "Bird of God", even if "Abyss of God" comes, we have to call him "big brother"!
In the Silver City at night, the big sign of "Silver Mystery Ballroom" is surrounded by bright lights.

Inside the ballroom, the lead singer, Qing Ling, was standing in front of an old-fashioned microphone in the center of the stage, singing a sentimental and nostalgic song with a melancholy look on her face.

Behind her, rows of dancers in red cheongsams lined up in neat formations, dancing to her melodious tunes. From time to time, they raised their legs in unison, showing off their long, white legs that were neatly aligned under the cheongsams.

Qing Ling was also wearing a cheongsam, but unlike Heyin, hers was light green.

Her arms were exposed, and the slits of her skirt extended from her calves to her shoulders. Her waist was only held in place by a white jade pendant.

It slightly reduces the exposure, but better outlines her beautiful figure.

Her white arms were holding an unopened paper fan that was sliding in the air; the light green pendant of the fan went really well with her cheongsam.

She was wearing this classic yet sexy new cheongsam, swaying gently with the singing, like a tender green flower bud about to bloom.

Classic and youthful, elegant and seductive.

Infinite charm!

Unlike the ghostly howls when Laerna appeared in the "Bird of Prey" live broadcast room, the players of "Frost and Snow Project" were stunned when they saw this scene. The live broadcast room was even eerily quiet for a few seconds.

Then the barrage of comments gushed out wildly!

"What the hell! What the hell! What did I see? A dancer?!"

"She's a singer! But she looks pretty much the same..."

"This cheongsam! This figure! This voice! This move! I can't take it anymore!!"

“My wallet is crying, but my brother is crying too!”

"The first female character in the Eryou circle who openly sings in a dance hall!"

"Awesome! I can only say, awesome! You are worthy of being the dream builder!"

"Big Brother is Big Brother! He is clear-cut and confident in his pornography!"

“I seem to hear Zhumeng saying to The Divine Bird: You’ve already sold yourself out, but you’re still hiding it, what the hell are you pretending to be?!”

　Asking for monthly votes in the middle of the month!
