December 15th, the night before the release of "ad". watermark ad test watermark ad test

"I am back."

In Ninghai, Yu Feihang returned to the rental house, and smiled as he entered the door: "Tomorrow "ad" will be released, and I will finally get the benefits of being a full-time employee! The editor-in-chief handed over the game experience report to the newcomer who just joined the job. , that guy is full of excitement, if he knows what happened to me last year, he will cry!"

The girlfriend was preparing dinner in the house, and she burst out laughing when she heard this.

"Congratulations, Mr. He Xi's game can't be played without a strategy."

The tragedy brought about by "fate/stay" last year is still vivid in my mind. Since I started playing without a strategy, Yu Feihang didn't sleep well for several days when he was abused. Even in his dreams, he couldn't get rid of the shadow of the death ending in the game. . Both he and his girlfriend still remember this incident. Yu Feihang felt very lucky not to be in charge of the game experience report of "ad" today.

"So, are you going to buy "ad" tomorrow?"

After putting the dishes on the table, the girlfriend asked while setting the dishes.

"Go." Yu Feihang took off his coat, sat at the table and praised his girlfriend's craftsmanship, and replied: "Although there is no need to write a report on game experience, it is the work of Teacher He Xi after all, and the editorial department wants to do it. It’s a special topic. So I still have to look at the sales of the game, and I’m going to Longquan Game Store tomorrow to investigate.”

Ninghai is a first-tier city. There are more than a dozen Longquan game stores here, with branches in every corner of the city. Yu Feihang predicts that tomorrow will be very busy.

"I'll buy one by the way." Yu Feihang took the rice from his girlfriend's call, and said with a smile, "I'll put it away when I buy it at home, and we'll play together when the strategy comes out!"

Although he has a strong psychological shadow on He Xi's game, on the other hand. He is very obsessed with the plot of He Xi's games, as long as there is a strategy, He Xi's game is worth playing. And he is not the only one who has such thoughts, after dinner. The girlfriend cleans up the dishes. Yu Feihang went online and saw many like-minded people on the He Xi Family forum.

Anyone who has played "fate/stay" for the first time knows the concept of He Xi's game, so there are a few exceptions. Other readers wisely decided to wait for the strategy to come out before playing.

However, the enthusiasm for buying "ad" in the forum is still very high, and many popular posts are talking about which game version to buy tomorrow.

For example this post -

Landlord: "There is no need to consider the version at all.

If you want me to say, it must be the most cost-effective 18 ban, right? The price is only 10 Huaxia coins more expensive than the whole age. Teacher He Xi's pricing is obviously wrong this time! "

The second floor: "The collection package contains games for all ages. Judging from this situation, Teacher He Xi is obviously biased towards all ages. As a fan of Teacher He Xi, I think we should support him to buy the all-ages version!"

The third floor: "No, no... I think Teacher He Xi probably didn't see the situation clearly. Now all kinds of text adventure games are 18-banned versions, which are like drugs. Who has tasted the 18-banned version? Are you willing to accept the version for all ages? And there is not much difference between 10 Huaxia coins, I think everyone would rather buy 18 bans, right?"

The fourth floor: "Passing by, the game has no love. But I still support Teacher He Xi!"

The fifth floor: "I agree with the third floor. After playing several 18-ban text adventure games, I don't feel the same when I watch the versions for all ages... It's too bland, without a plot, so can it be regarded as love cultivation?"

Although the discussion was very lively, Yu Feihang found that most of the readers were inclined to the 18-banned version of the game. He shook his head. up. However, as far as Feihang is concerned, he has never played other people's works except He Xi's text adventure game, so he prefers the version for all ages.

"Since Teacher He Xi included the all-age version in the collection package, the script of "ad" must be very good!"

Yu Feihang left a line in the post. He has been following He Xi for a long time, and knows that the cartoonist will not do anything he is not sure about. Since he dared to put "ad" of all ages into an expensive collection bag, it proves that the game "ad" can be welcomed by the public without a h plot!

"It must be true..."

With this certainty, on December 16th, the release date of "ad" arrived.

At six o'clock in the morning, Yu Feihang took his camera and notes, and walked out of the rental room in thick clothes. In winter, the sun has not yet fully risen, the streets are shrouded in white mist, and the distant scene is blurred.

"It's so cold." The cold wind that blew by made Yu Feihang shiver, he shrank his body, frowned and said to himself: "In such a cold day, there shouldn't be many people coming out to buy games, right?"

Although he has confidence in He Xi, Yu Feihang doesn't think he will see the bustling scene of comic releases in Longquan Game Store-this is obvious, except for the release of some top games in the game industry, which can attract players to buy Enthusiasm, other games will not have much response.

After all, games are games, and text adventures are even more niche in games.

"For "ad", it should be considered a big success if ten people buy it at this time."

Yu Feihang secretly calculated that games are different from comics. Except for the collector's edition, it hardly needs to be snapped up. As long as there is demand, the game store will keep supplying it. So the readers will not be so anxious, plus it is not yet dawn, if a Longquan game store can see ten people waiting, then there will be nearly two hundred people waiting for the release in the cold wind in Ninghai.

This number is incredible for a text adventure game. Coupled with the greater flow of people after dawn, Ning Hai will definitely sell three or four thousand copies of the game today. In the next two weeks, it may exceed 10,000, and if a city exceeds 10,000, dozens of large cities in China, and thousands of small and medium-sized cities, the combined sales are estimated to exceed 300,000 to 400,000.

The three to four hundred thousand text adventure game, the income is already very eye-catching.

However, I thought so, but when Yu Feihang came to the first Longquan game store, he felt that his calculation method must have been wrong—the number of people displayed in front of him had exceeded ten times what he expected. There are hundreds of people waiting in line at the entrance of this Longquan game store!

"10...24...57...79...98...113?"

The exact number of people in line is 113. According to Yu Feihang's calculation method, the final sales volume of "ad" is at least four to five million copies.

Absolutely impossible - this figure is equivalent to the sales of genuine stand-alone games in the second and third tiers, and the total sales of all text adventure games in the past three months has not exceeded 3.5 million. Yu Feihang feels that his calculation method has seriously logic error. But anyway. One thing he was sure of.

"This game paid for itself before it was even released!"

"Teacher He Xi has created a miracle again!!"——On the car not far from Yu Feihang, bookseller Lu Fei thought while smoking a cigarette.

"Master, master. You are right. There are hundreds of people waiting here so early!" The young man in the driver's seat next to Lu Fei is called Liu Qiang. Longquan Game Store said: "They all get up early to buy games? Teacher He Xi's influence is too great!"

"That is. Otherwise, how would I be here today."

Lu Fei smiled proudly, his life has undergone earth-shaking changes because of He Xier.

Two years ago, Lu Fei was an underground worker who sold pornographic discs, and he walked around the pedestrian street with the urban management all day long. But since He Xi's debut, he has slowly changed his career to become a book dealer. He sold "Weekly Boys" and "Weekly Girls" around Longquan Middle School for half a year. He started reselling.

And just last year, Lu Fei resold "fate/stay" and made a fortune! When the game was released, the Internet was full of criticism, and many dealers hesitated to purchase it. But at that time, Lu Fei gritted his teeth and bought the collector's edition of "fate/stay" with almost all his family property, becoming the person with the most purchases.

As a result, a few days later, the price of that game increased to several thousand Huaxia coins, and Lu Fei sold the inventory in batches, making a profit of hundreds of thousands at once, and the salted fish was reborn! Now that He Xi has launched a new game "ad", Lu Fei recalled the experience of last year, so he was naturally excited and wanted to do it again.

"Liu Qiang, hurry up and queue up, you must buy the "ad" collection bag, this time there are many colleagues who want to sell it, don't mess it up for me!"

Lu Fei asked his apprentice to go out and buy games.

"Okay, master, we want to buy a few copies this time."

Liu Qiang stopped the car and asked while unbuttoning his seat belt.

"All..." Lu Fei raised his eyebrows, and said grandly: "As long as this store has it, you can buy all the collection bags, and if they have a requirement for the purchase quantity, you can ask those people in line to help you buy them... …Give them a little tip and they'll be happy to help."

"What!" Liu Qiang, who was about to get out of the car, was stunned, and he looked at Lu Fei dumbfounded: "Master, this collection bag costs 200 Huaxia coins, and every Longquan game store has 100 copies, and it costs 20,000 to buy them all." Huaxia Coins, and... didn't you ask your teacher's wife and two senior brothers to buy them all in several other stores? Isn't it enough?"

If they all successfully bought the collector's edition, the number would be close to 400 copies, 80,000 Huaxia coins.

"Master, we don't open a game store. This collection pack is for all ages. What if we buy too much and can't sell it?" Liu Qiang is very worried. Everyone outside is saying that the all-ages version of the text adventure game is worthless. , Why doesn't his master seem to mind at all?

"Don't talk nonsense, come over to me quickly." Lu Fei glared at Liu Qiang, and said, "As a master, I'll just tell you one more truth."

"What truth?"

Liu Qiang asked strangely.

"Remember it, this is the secret to getting rich!" Lu Fei exhaled a smoke ring, and said slowly: "This truth is very simple——"

"Don't use common sense to judge Teacher He Xi. His works are rarely produced in limited editions, but if they are limited editions, you will definitely not lose money if you buy them!"
