The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 35 The water takes off!

Xu Meng guessed that this number must be very inflated.

It’s just because the scale of “Frost and Snow Project” did cause quite a stir in the second-hand game circle and accurately attracted the target users.

Therefore, after the server was opened, many players who logged into the game for the first time were very excited about the remade characters.

To put it more politely: the proportion of potential character fans is extremely high.

Of course, the players were less polite in their choice of words:
[It wasn't me who paid for it, it was my second brother who paid for it!]
[Sorry my wallet, the little head controls the big head]
[Which character is good-looking? Don’t ask us, ask your second brother!]
……

Similar posts are everywhere in Mengjin.

It is not difficult to understand that players’ willingness to pay at this time is stronger than that of ordinary players.

As time goes by, more and more ordinary players and casual players will flock to the game, diluting the proportion of these true/addicted players, and the payment rate should drop.

But that is for later.

At this moment, even the extremely rare old players who had all the characters were mostly tempted by the interactive scenes between Tongque and Heyin, and spent money to buy it with tears in their eyes.

——Given the richness of these two interactive scenes, selling it for 128 is really like making a friend.

With the personal demonstration of anchors like Qihuahua, countless players have come to understand the characters' delicate movements, rich expressions, and thrilling dubbing in interactive scenes.

Faced with these two interactive scenes, I don’t know how many zero-氪 players broke their rules.

The monthly card holders are not much better off.

Although every time you buy a monthly card, you will be given 300 points in addition to the original ore for daily login, the public beta of "Frost and Snow Project" has only been 4 months.

In other words, monthly card holders only have 1200 points at most.

The interactive scenes of Tongque and Heyin are both sold for 1280 points.

Just 80 points short.

So, do you want a highly playable color interaction scene?

No problem, recharge/renew your card.

The result was that Xu Meng saw in the background: more than 60% of the players who had purchased monthly cards but had already stopped paying had renewed their monthly cards.

These are the old players who have complete illustrations - they account for a very small proportion of all players.

Most of them are new players whose illustrations are empty, followed by old players whose illustrations are not very complete.

Needless to say, new players.

In order to get the five-star Bronze Sparrow, everyone is working hard to progress and save liquid gold.

But how easy is it to create 70 or 80 thousand resources from scratch?

Even at Xu Meng's request, "Frost and Snow Project" has improved the game benefits and activity rewards, and the card drawing mechanism has also been optimized.

But a card pool in Project Frost and Snow lasts for a month, and it is a bit too much for new players to expect to graduate in one day.

If this time is extended to one week, the difficulty will be much lower.

But if you want it urgently, or don’t have the patience to save slowly…

Then you can only spend gold.

With the current popularity of "Frost and Snow Project", such new players are everywhere!

As for the old players whose illustrated books are not very complete——

Under Xu Meng's design, after the card drawing mechanism was optimized, old players already had resources, and with the benefits given at the launch of the server, it was easy for them to draw a upgraded character.

Because Bronze Sparrow has been up once, many old players already have it.

but……

There is not only Tongque among the new five-star characters, there is also Heyin who is just as popular and sexy as Tongque!

But where is the harmony?

The answer is the permanent pool, also known as the general pool.

Including He Yin, there are a total of 5 five-star characters and 5 five-star weapons in this pool, and the probability of being drawn is equal.

That is to say, when the player draws seventy or eighty times in the general pool and finally sees the golden light, there is only a one in ten chance that this golden light is a harmony.

There is no guarantee for this thing!

——Yes, this is also the feature of the second tour.

For non-lucky people, no guarantee ≈ bottomless pit.

If you are unlucky, you may draw 5 to times in a row, and all five-star characters are not Harmony...

It is also possible.

Xu Meng originally planned to add a 300-draw charging bar so that players could switch out a fixed character every 300 draws.

But thinking about the company's financial situation, after hesitating for a moment, I reluctantly postponed this change to the next version.

So in the current version, rational players will give up the general pool and wait for a harmonious sound to appear in the up pool one day. But those irrational ones...

I'm already getting high now!
……

When the second game circle was launched, there was a kind of reserved program that was popular with the majority of players, but was only for the rich.

Krypton to penetrate the card pool.

The specific program content is: prepare hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in advance, recharge them all into tokens in the game, and then draw out all the characters and all the equipment in the card pool in one go!
This kind of program is extremely expensive, so even if you are a wealthy player, you won’t play any game this way when it comes online.

When "Frost and Snow Project" was first launched in public beta, no anchor was willing to do this.

Until now, after Xu Meng made drastic changes and led his employees on a month-long spree of sex, and the character charm and game popularity achieved a leap forward, he finally enjoyed this treatment.

This is a unique recognition from a wealthy anchor.

It's just that this local tyrant is a little defensive now——

“Olga!!”

"Why is it you again?!"

"You and I are already broken!!!"

……

The live broadcast room of [Huan Yue], a well-known krypton guy in Eryou, was filled with the laughter of netizens who were gloating over other people's misfortunes.

As a classic setting of the second game, the setting of repeatedly drawing 5-star characters to unlock stronger combat power is naturally also included in "Frost and Snow Plan".

But in this update, Xu Meng also made some optimizations——

Players can obtain two breakthrough items every month through monthly activities to break through the five-star characters they have already obtained.

In this way, players no longer need to draw 6 identical characters. Instead, they can draw one to open the illustrated book, and then slowly use props to break through.

Such changes can greatly reduce the pressure on players to draw cards.

Of course, if you have money, it’s okay to just draw the full amount.

Huanyue now draws the full amount in one breath.

Not only was the bottle full, but there was one extra.

Anything more than that is just wasted money, which is almost like throwing money into the water.

Huanyue is not short of money, so drawing one more is not a big deal.

But the problem is:

Up to now, he has seen the golden light of five-star characters 21 times, including 7 weapons and 14 characters.

And the harmony only appeared once!
Huanyue screamed for a long time, to make the show look great.

Only after satisfying the expectations of the fans did I finally calm down and start to analyze for them:
"Although I feel a little embarrassed, to be honest, Dream Building is a very conscientious place."

"I roughly calculated the expected value. On average, it takes about 55 draws to produce a golden light. This is higher than the expected value of the four-dimensional pool."

"Of course, I only drew less than 5 yuan, so it's a bit early to draw conclusions now."

"Anyway, let's continue and draw out the 20 first."

After saying that, Huanyue started to draw cards mercilessly again...

……

For now, there is only one anchor who is performing the "pay-to-win card pool" trick, but there are anchors everywhere who are broadcasting card drawing live.

Xu Meng browsed the live broadcasts on major platforms and saw many big anchors drawing cards.

Not all of them draw for themselves, many of them draw for their fans and friends.

In those popular live broadcast rooms, even those who want to draw on behalf of others have to queue up.

The line is so long that it would take a while to draw all the people.

Just looking at this lively scene, it is not difficult to imagine that Dream Building made a huge profit this time.

At first, only Xu Meng and the operation department could see the rapid growth of various data - not only the transaction data, but also the client downloads, player registrations, and Mengjin user registrations, which all increased several times in one day!
The real-time number of online players broke the historical record in one go, with the peak reaching 380 million!
Even though the players who came to join in the fun gradually dispersed, the number of real-time online players dropped significantly, but it has remained above 300 million.

It is still a long way from being the first among all the second-tier games, and there is no chance of being the first among all the mobile games.

——Let’s not talk about mobile games for now. The absolute leader of the second-tier games, “Abyss of the Gods”, has more than 6000 million monthly active players worldwide.

The second and third place with relatively large fluctuations are "Nations" and "Divine Bird", with monthly active users of approximately 1600 million and 1200 million respectively.

But at this moment, the "Frost and Snow Project" can already see the shadow of the third place!
Today is only the first day of June after all, and it's not even evening yet.

In other words, there is still a lot of room for the popularity of "Frost and Snow Project" to increase!

Not to mention, Xu Meng still has a big move in his hand!

If managed well, it might be possible to surpass "Bird of Prey" and give Konjac Games a surprise!
