There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

Although Yi Wenwen wasn't sure if he dropped the thing himself.

But he still took what his father handed over.

Then, he looked down.

It was a slightly yellowed, deliberately worn ticket.

Yes, that's the ticket.

Because the word "ticket" is written on it.

But the specific ticket is not mentioned above, except for the word ticket, there are no other redundant words.

Yi Wenwen turned it over and glanced at the back of the ticket.

There are also no redundant words, only a website address, and a serial number.

"What is this?" Yi Wenwen raised his head, looked at his father subconsciously, and asked.

"How do I know, anyway, it fell from the book in your hand."

Yi Jianjun shook his head, said something funny, then turned and left.

After watching his father leave, Yi Wenwen lowered his head again, thought for a while, and casually stuffed the 'ticket' into the title page of the book, and continued to read the novel.

He doesn't have time to pay attention to this right now.

What he is looking forward to more is... What interesting cases and chapters will there be in the next novel.

So soon, he forgot about the tickets.

Turned to look at the next story.

And after two short stories foreshadowing.

Finally, the second novel of the novel came out.

soon.

Yi Wenwen immersed himself in it.

at the same time.

In fact, many players do similar things.

There are very few players like Yi Wenwen who got the tickets and didn't care, just stuffed them into the book and continued to read the novel.

This situation.

It lasted a whole day.

On the same day, the technical department of Linmu Studio gave feedback.

Only two players landed on the website advertised on the ticket.

Lin Yao couldn't laugh or cry when she heard the news, and she didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

She also spent a lot of effort on tickets...

but.

She quickly figured it out too.

never mind.

Since the players don't play their cards according to the routine, let's suspend the announcement of the 'Carnival'... and start it later.

Just had time to pack things up.

After other departments moved out one after another, it was finally Lin Yao's turn and the product department to prepare to move to the headquarters.

that is.

Lin Yao didn't think of it at the time.

She wanted to launch the announcement of the 'Carnival' later, and it would end up being so late...

Although the day the novel was released, some players began to discuss the novel.

But the basic topics revolve around the novel itself, rather than tickets.

From this aspect, it can be seen how much the novel is sought after by players... and how low the existence of tickets is.

""Sherlock Holmes" is really amazing! I really like the story of "The Red-haired Club"! Seemingly irrelevant clues are gathered together to tell the truth, and the charm of Sherlock Holmes is also displayed in the process! Really marvelous!"

""Di Gong's Case" is still the same as before. Although the characters are somewhat different from the game, the characters are vividly portrayed, the serial cases are intertwined, and the ending is beyond expectations! You can really trust Lin Yao forever, even if it is a novel!"

"If players enjoy the process of following Sherlock Holmes to find evidence and reveal the answer in an atmosphere of suspense, those short stories are really suitable! I highly recommend reading it! Lin Yao is really unexpected.

And if you want an adventure, and want to take an adventure with Sherlock Holmes, I recommend watching "The Hound of the Baskervilles", it will never disappoint, the horror atmosphere created is really too strong! It makes people go crazy and their hairs stand on end!"

"Amazing, there is an article in "The Case of Di Gong", which focuses on Di Renjie's youth. It feels like time and space have flowed, and to some extent it also complements his relationship with Wu Zetian. It is so emotional."

"I knew that when Lin Mugong entered the arena in person, he would not disappoint people."

"Lin Yao! Keep writing! Just pretend I'm kneeling down and begging you! Wife!"

"Unexpectedly, this novel can really exceed expectations, even exceed expectations! I thought Linmu Studio only played tickets..."

"I never imagined that one day, I would see a bunch of discussions about novels in the game community... [狗头]."

"..."

Players' enthusiasm for novels.

Some are beyond imagination.

As the last comment said, unexpectedly, one day there will be a lot of discussions about novels in the game community.

The high enthusiasm of the players has brought some benefits, but also brought some negative effects.

The advantage, of course, is that because of the popularity of the game and the enthusiasm of the players, the novel has a tendency to break the circle.

Meanwhile, on the other hand.

Because the two games are equally popular overseas, many overseas players have come to China to 'inquire' about the news of the novel.

And after seeing the comments of domestic players, many overseas players also became excited.

I am full of expectations for the overseas novel version that has not yet been released.

And the real owner of 221 Baker Street.

After seeing the reprinted comments from domestic players, and seeing that players in major overseas game communities expressed their expectation for the novel, he raised the price again...

Property is now for sale seven times above market value!

That is, no one has bought from him now... After all, the price is a bit too high, and he raises the price every time, like a hype!

As for the downsides...

That is the enthusiasm of the players for the novel, and some of the players who noticed the tickets and curiously followed the instructions on the back of the tickets, and the posts sent by the players who entered the website were overwhelmed.

After all, the player base who could have drawn tickets is not large.

Compared with reading novels, there are even fewer players who are willing to discuss novels.

This is also normal.

And this made Lin Yao's carefully prepared "Carnival" the first linkage, the response was not good at first, and it could even be said that there was no response at all.

Therefore, once Lin Yao postponed the related activities and announcements of the 'Carnival', it was postponed for a few days...

until.

The overseas version of the novel is officially on sale.

Things took a turn for the better.

After the frenzy of the initial release.

As the novel is read, more and more players buy the novel.

After the case was discussed several times over and over again.

The players' enthusiasm for the novel subsided a little.

And some of the players who got the tickets were finally able to take the lead.

【What's this? Have you received tickets for purchasing novels? There is a URL on the back of the ticket. After I went in, I was asked to look for an easter egg... Then I searched for a long time, and finally found an easter egg, and after entering the serial number given by the easter egg, this came out... He also asked me to listen Ling, why! 】

Today, such a rather inexplicable post.

Appeared on the largest game community in China.

And this post, the title is not attractive.

But the accompanying pictures reminded some old players of something.

The picture accompanying the post was a man wearing heavy armor, with his hair tied into a ponytail, and a knife scar on the bridge of his nose.

This image, at first glance, looks a bit like a wanderer.

But many players know that this is a character in "Warcraft" when they see the name.

The little prince Varian Wrynn in the "Dark Tide" DLC of "Warcraft"!

And combined with what this character said, it also confirmed this point-'Soldiers of Stormwind City, listen to my orders! '

So soon.

Many players who have played "Warcraft" before flooded into this post.

"What is this? Varian Wrynn has grown up?"

"It should be, sigh, the little prince Varian Wrynn fled to Lordaeron because his father was killed, met Arthas, and became friends with him, but he may not have thought that Lordaeron was also He is so talented, Arthas will become the Lich King..."

"Yeah. Raised him, gave him shelter and warmth in childhood, taught him how to become a generation of Mingjun Terenas, and was filial to death..."

"But it seems that he has survived the blow and has grown into an adult. Now he seems to be a qualified king!"

"So... what the hell is this?"

"..."

Many players began to reminisce about the plot of "Warcraft" under this post.

But more players are asking, what is this?

And the host who posted the post was also very responsible, and explained it to the players who asked.

It probably means that he bought a novel "Di Renjie" with a ticket inserted in the middle, and then there is a website and a serial number on it. After entering the website and entering the serial number, there will be a small web game in which he needs to find Easter eggs, get another serial number, and finally enter it to get the picture of King Wa.

The landlord explained this.

All the players who bought the novel were shocked instantly.

Immediately realized something was wrong!

Linmu Studio may have to reorganize again!

And very likely, it's a big job!

Therefore, many players immediately picked up the novel in their hands and began to frantically turn the pages.

I wanted to find out the 'ticket' that the poster mentioned, but most of the players couldn't find it.

On the contrary, it reminded a small number of players that there is such a thing...

For example, Yi Wenwen.

this day.

He opened the forum and was about to see what the players were discussing, when he happened to see this post.

He suddenly remembered the ticket clipped on the title page of his novel.

Immediately excited.

He jumped up like a rabbit, then ran to his room, took out the novel he had finished reading, and pulled out the ticket placed on the title page.

"Is this another whole job?"

With such an idea in mind, Yi Wenwen happily sat in front of the computer, began to enter the website marked on the ticket, and entered the webpage.

Then enter the serial number.

Page jump.

thump thump...

The extremely rich music of the eight-bit machine era sounded...

At the same time, a simple web game appeared on the screen.

【Easter egg adventure! 】

The title is this.

On the initial page, apart from the title and a pixelated villain, there is only one option.

Start the game.

Out of curiosity, Yi Wenwen clicked to start the game.

Denden~

Accompanied by the nostalgic music, he got the control of the pixel villain.

The game also started in a pixel wind castle.

First, he needs to talk to an NPC who looks like a maid.

"I heard that there are many interesting things hidden here. If you can find them, very interesting things will happen."

The NPC with the outline of a maid said such words with the sound of Didi.

Like a guide.

"oh?"

Yi Wenwen looked at the sentences that jumped out word by word, as if he had returned to the era of eight-bit computers in his childhood. While smiling, he manipulated the pixel character to circle around, and then talked to the maid again.

The maid's words have not changed, it is still the same sentence, 'I heard that there are many interesting things hidden here. '

"Something interesting?"

Seeing the maid's words again, Yi Wenwen couldn't help but look down at the tickets on the table.

But his hand forgot to let go of the button.

He kept pressing the interact button.

When he came back to his senses, he looked at the maid who kept jumping out of the same dialogue, and was about to release the dialogue button.

"..."

The maid's lines suddenly changed.

Drip, drop.

Two ellipses appear.

Then……

"(sighs), don't you even want to go in and take a look? Forget it, repeating the dialogue is an easter egg, it should be... Anyway, please don't tell anyone else, I'm just a maid, not an automatic answering machine, and I don't belong to anyone Wife."

"G47XSA."

"You found the 'Easter Egg', congratulations!!"

Follow her words.

The game ended directly, jumping back to the start page.

And Yi Wenwen was dumbfounded.

no.

Just now I just forgot.

And this line, how do you feel that it has a meaning?

Yi Wenwen looked at the serial number that popped up, and a look of excitement gradually appeared on his face, as if he had discovered a great secret.

And at this time.

The game also started to remind him.

The serial number can be entered into the input box below.

Yi Wenwen compared the serial number that popped up after the game was over, and entered it into the input box below the game.

Then.

The page jumps directly.

The style of the webpage changed suddenly.

A new web page appears on the screen.

The main body of the web page is a dynamic short video.

But not Varian Wrynn posted by forum players.

Because genders are different!

It was a sort of camp.

At the small table.

An iceberg beauty in a green shawl and glasses sat quietly at the table, holding a heavy book in her hand, and was looking down quietly.

Then.

It was like feeling Yi Wenwen's gaze.

The woman suddenly raised her head, looked away from the book, and looked at the camera, which was the player in front of the screen.

The text jumped out.

[Can you take me to hunt together? 】

[Or draw a sketch of the monster's bite marks for me to see? 】

"...???"

The question mark at Yi Wenwen's head.

its not right.

who is this

He is very sure that this is not a character in any existing game of Linmu Studio!

And what is hunting?

Is it a new game? ?

Yi Wenwen began to frantically click on the webpage, trying to find out more things.

But it seems that's all there is to it.

Let him click like crazy.

Nothing happens.

However, even so.

Yi Wenwen felt that he had discovered some shocking secret, and his mood didn't weaken at all...

He immediately took a screenshot of the webpage, opened the forum, integrated his findings into a post, and posted it on the forum.

Then.

Without waiting for the player to reply, he immediately returned to the "Easter Egg Adventure" game just now.

Restart the game.

But this time.

Instead of harassing the explaining maid, he went directly into the castle.

Then, just like playing RPGs on 8-bit computers when I was a child, I fumbled here and there, and clicked on everything that could be interacted with anyway.

And a touch down.

Yi Wenwen was even more excited!

This game really deserves the title of "Easter Egg Adventure".

It's really everywhere... Easter eggs from games under Linmu Studios!

Everywhere!

Some may be triggered even if they are found.

For example, the pet in the castle is a yellow creature that looks like a mouse.

This is considered an Easter egg, the Easter egg of "Pokémon".

And some may require players to spend a little effort.

For example, in the castle, at the entrance of the far left room, there is a woman with a knife, and Yi Wenwen talks to her.

She will ask, did you escape from the laboratory?

And the layout of the room behind her is very similar to the first CG promotional film of Linmu Studio, the promotional film of "Breakout"...

After Yi Wenwen talked to her, he ran away according to the protagonist's route in the "Breakout" promotional film, and ran to a place similar to a hall, and the Easter egg of "Breakout" would be triggered!

Another example.

In a corner of the castle, there is a small crown, which will ask the player which princess image he likes the most.

Then according to the answer.

Will trigger the "Legend of Zelda" easter egg.

Or, a Mario easter egg.

In short.

All kinds of small thoughts and small designs.

The game screen is simple and the gameplay is not strong.

But Yiwenwen's interest is getting higher and higher!

Every time, after triggering the easter egg, the game will jump to the start page, and then give him a serial number, enter it into the input box, and then jump to the corresponding display page.

Every time Yiwenwen gets a serial number, he will open it with full expectation.

Then after reading the screenshots, I went back to the game, entered the castle, and looked for new easter eggs...

Have fun.

And just when he was enjoying himself, what he didn't know was that the external players were about to go berserk...

...

If.

Varian Wrynn's easter eggs are just the beginning, just to keep players interested.

The "Maid Easter Egg" sent out by Na Yi Wenwen is the fuse that detonates the players' emotions!

It didn't take long for the post to go out.

Countless players rushed in.

"Fuck!! What is this?"

"Hahaha!!! This maid must be Lin Yao! Absolutely!! So what is this!?"

"Linmu Studio has started to organize again? So what is this? How to participate?"

"what is this!"

"The landlord came out and said something! Why is there no ticket for the book I bought??"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"..."

What's this! ! !

This question became the sentence with the most replies under the post.

But Yi Wenwen, busy collecting easter eggs, did not reply.

This makes the players more and more itchy.

What is this!

In the easter eggs later, what does the iceberg beauty mean by hunting?

Why can't I participate?

Following Yi Wenwen's post about the maid egg.

A bunch of related posts popped up.

Then.

Following these posts, there are more players excitedly posting that they found Easter eggs.

What "Breakout", "Warcraft", "Pokémon", "Legend of Zelda" and even the latest "Sherlock Holmes".

All kinds of easter egg posts make the players' eyes wide open, and at the same time, they become more and more itchy.

And seeing the heat ferment.

Linmu Studio finally took action. They began to publish the URL of the game "Easter Egg Adventure" on the homepages of major games, including the homepage of the Vaporwave game platform with the largest traffic.

And they publish the url.

No need to enter the serial number on the back of the ticket.

Instead, all players can participate directly!

This is just great.

The players stopped making noise immediately, and they didn't even have time to ask what it was, so they started the easter egg adventure one after another.

And this day.

The discussion about the novel was directly suppressed.

All kinds of easter egg posts began to become popular.

Countless players began to share the easter eggs they found...

"The easter egg of "Breakout"! You need to follow the escape route of the protagonist in the CG once, and then it will come out!"

"The easter egg of the great detective Sherlock Holmes! In the fifth house from the right, you need to solve a clue related to the Hound of Baskervilles to get it!"

"Haha! This is so interesting! That princess's little crown will not only give Zelda eggs, but he will give different eggs according to different choices. If you choose the last option, you will also give Link's eggs." !! Hahaha, Link is also a princess. The easter egg display page is still a scene of his women's clothing, I laughed so hard!"

"Warcraft related easter eggs, you only need to go to the kitchen to get ice cubes, and then interact with the throne, and you will come out and talk about sitting with your butt cold [laughs]... so many slots!"

"The "Call of Duty" easter egg! It's next to the "Breakout" egg! There is a button next to Yujie in the "Breakout" CG. You only need to get the gunship model, press it, and it will be triggered! That "Breakout" CG My sister Yu will even complain to players that helicopters are really dangerous..."

"So what is this! So much fun!!!"

"... Repeat the conversation with the maid at the beginning of the game, there will be easter eggs, but you may not know what the consequences will be if you keep repeating the Easter eggs after you get them, the maid will not let me in! [Sorrowful]"

"..."

And so many easter egg posts.

finally.

It's still the maid's easter egg... the most topical.

Because another player has discovered a new trigger method.

After repeating the dialogue with the maid to get the easter egg, restart the game, continue the dialogue, and then continue the dialogue!

In this way, keep talking ten times and get ten maid eggs.

The maid would be completely impatient...

[I said it all, please don’t tell others, you still told others, I’m just a maid! Not an automatic answering machine! 】

[So are you an idiot? 】

[I, Lin... No, my maid will not let you in today! 】

【…】

Then.

The player will jump directly to the start page.

and.

The start game option will also disappear.

Not to play!

This is also an easter egg.

In the end, the player enters this easter egg, and the easter egg page obtained will no longer be the iceberg beauty who asks the player if he can take her hunting.

Instead, it was a picture of an angry maid.

Let the player come back to play tomorrow...

In short.

Various easter eggs, various trigger methods!

The entire game circle, as long as players who have been in contact with the games of Linmu Studio, have fallen into a collective carnival today...

And countless players, after the carnival, couldn't help but have such a question in their minds.

Including colleagues in Linmu Studio, they all had the same problem.

That is……

"So, what the hell is this time!!?"

sky fox.

Li Guangsheng looked at Carnival's post, then looked back at Mou Feng with a helpless expression.
