Chapter 758 Where is the recharge entrance? Two-in-one (1/2)

"Heiying, didn't you say you don't like fooling people?" Luo Ning asked.

"Do you know there is a saying called 'being influenced by what you hear and what you see'? Even if I learn to fool people, I will still be led by you!" Heiying was not straightforward and strong.

he~tui!

Compared with you, it's still far behind. I really feel sorry for Tony Stark, but it's okay to reward the people who hacked his company's servers.

"By the way, are you also a hacker?" Black Shadow looked at Luo Ning, "This eye-catching outfit seems a bit technical, and that brainwashing ringtone..."

Luo Ning was just about to be modest in front of the boss, but he immediately swallowed up some good words after hearing the second half of the sentence, "What's wrong with my outfit?"

Wear a white sweatshirt with the Overwatch logo printed on it, a pair of black sweatpants, and bold red running shoes. To take a step back, even if he doesn't have the style of a business elite, he doesn't want to develop in this direction. He doesn't want to be like Tony who wears suits and ties all day long, but he can be considered decently dressed. Why does it hurt his eyes?

And the newly replaced ringtone, although the sound is a bit loud, it is also a classic rock music. Why is it so brainwashed?

I think you are just unhappy with me!

"Let's test you. Penetrating a computer through IP requires @!@###..."

I can understand the first few sentences, but what's the meaning behind them?

Seeing that Luo Ning couldn't answer and was completely confused, Heiying snorted softly, "Is this the level? Go to sleep and don't call yourself a hacker."

"I'm an amateur." Luo Ning was a little embarrassed. Even the old hacker who taught him hacking skills was still doing his best in front of Heiying, let alone a newbie like him.

"Finally tell the truth. You're an amateur and you're talking about the matrix to me, and you keep telling me the same thing." Heiying really believed his lies. Thinking about it now, he really felt a little stupid at the time.

"Although I'm not technically proficient, it's really possible that the matrix exists." Luo Ning said.

"Commander, please go and have a rest. I have serious things to do, be good!"

The black shadow was so angry that it made Luo Ning feel uncomfortable. He really wanted to give her a trick that would make her completely unrecognizable.

"Let me remind you again, don't hack other companies' servers." Luo Ning warned before leaving.

"Don't worry, I'm too lazy to hack companies that can easily break into security systems. It's just a waste of my time."

During this period of time, the shadow was peaceful and did not do anything. He never left the house or stepped out of the house for the whole day. He was like a second Moira, but they were immersed in different fields.

The black shadow seems to be attacking Tony's suit system with all its strength, but the suit system has a higher security level and will not be able to conquer it for a while. Because of this, Heiying could stay in the base without sleep and food, and would not mess with other people's company systems.

Good!

well! Among these people, Thomas was the only one who asked him to save his worries and go out for a drive with him when he had nothing to do. He complained to him that he was both a nanny and a mother, and he was doing thankless things.

It's rare to go to the training base of an e-sports club, see those young faces full of envy, and hear the words of "boss" full of respect, and only then can he realize: Oh, it turns out I am a boss.

Speaking of which, the e-sports industry has developed rapidly in recent years, and various branches of their OW team have also achieved good results.

However, with several major crises, those once-popular games have all faded away, such as Dungeon, Jedi Warmth, and League of Kings... Although they can still support a group of young people who love e-sports, the impact The power is gradually decreasing.

Now there is an urgent need for a phenomenal competitive online game to re-introduce e-sports into people’s horizons.

Blizzard Entertainment, which has always taken the stand-alone quality route, has this ambition, and also has abundant funds and excellent strength to support it.

They are running this online game project called "Overwatch", and from the name you can tell that they have a cooperative relationship with Overwatch Pictures.

Blizzard Entertainment released news about the new game a long time ago. Movie fans and game fans were looking forward to it, but it was disappointing to see no more news about the new game.

The reason is that Blizzard Entertainment is making online games with stand-alone quality. It has high requirements on details and is meticulous in all aspects, so the progress is very slow. The only shortcut is that the background setting can be copied from the movie. Each hero has a ready-made model and background story, so there is no need to spend too much effort on the worldview structure and characters. The main thing is numerical calculation and gameplay.

What is gratifying is that we have now reached the final moment. During the period of Blizzard Entertainment, they frequently dealt with Overwatch Pictures, just to obtain the copyright.

These matters were all left to Lucy to handle, and Luo Ning only occasionally asked about them.

However, sometimes, the game planner has to consult a layman who knows the game very well about gameplay and balance. Because it was a cooperative relationship, he would earn more if the game sold well, so Luo Ning always answered all questions.

Even at the last moment, the planner personally invited him to participate in the first internal test of Overwatch. The purpose is to identify problems and fill in gaps.

Luo Ning readily accepted it. It was a pity that the world did not have the game "Overwatch".

However, there will be one!

It will bring those children the purest competitive fun and the most wonderful fingertip enjoyment.

Although he has experienced so many things, his interest in games has diminished, and his computers, arcades, and game cabins have all gathered dust, but the beautiful memories are always there. Why don't you want to experience the novice tutorial again and control Soldier 76 excitedly and clumsily to complete the novice tutorial?

The joy of the first victory, the excitement of the first 6 kills, the cry of the first comeback... Even if I failed in the game after trying my best, I would not have negative emotions, because I tried my best, and my teammates also tried their best. At most, I would have a little regret, maybe just a little bit short.

It can give people a belief of not giving in and not admitting defeat. I am not afraid of poor skills but I am afraid of disunity. I will never give up until the last moment. How do you know if you can't do it if you don't try?

This is the charm of e-sports!

Teamwork, perseverance, and perseverance!

I went to the headquarters of Blizzard Entertainment in California. The building that shone brightly in the sun was magnificent. It is worthy of being a world-class top game company! But it is still a little bit worse than the Overwatch Building.

During the hands-on experience, Roning treated himself as an experienced player. He praised the remarkable points and pointed out the shortcomings for them to improve.

On the contrary, the employees of Blizzard Entertainment were polite and reminded him of his identity with various respectful and admiring behaviors all the time, which made Roning very unnatural.

"Everyone is in this industry because they love games, so don't be so reserved. I love games too, otherwise I wouldn't come here in person. I really hope to make the IP of Overwatch a phenomenal online game, so that players who don't like watching movies but like games can experience the culture of Overwatch, and even... I hope it can become a kind of game art, which requires everyone's joint efforts."

"I'm just a player, at most a player with a little talent. You can just think of me as the former professional player Roning who defeated D.Va three times."

Roning made a joke appropriately, and the atmosphere was indeed much more relaxed after everyone laughed.

Next, Roning evaluated the game very seriously. Many places were enlightened by his casual remarks.

"Souga, it turns out that this can be solved!"

"Don't underestimate it, it's just adding a small setting. It not only solves the problem but also increases the fun. It's really nice!"

"Observing the game from the perspective of a professional player can really show the balance defects that we weak players can't see."

...

"It's just a little flaw, there are no other problems. I think you can officially launch it after testing for another month or two."

There's really no problem with the game. It's worthy of being a Blizzard that is in the same lineage as Blizzard. It has almost restored 90% of the original version and incorporated its own characteristics. The picture quality is better and the details are richer. It is completely a 3A-level epoch-making online game.

However, Ronin discovered a fatal problem. Where is the recharge entrance? !

"Recharge entrance? Is there such a thing?"

"Isn't 'Overwatch' a buyout game?"

"Yes, Mr. Ronin, ours is a buyout game. There is no mall in the game, and we don't sell props that affect balance."

You are still too young!

Roning cleared his throat and began his textbook-like popular science…

“Admittedly, Overwatch is a buyout competitive game, and it certainly cannot sell attribute props that affect balance, but you didn’t realize that it contains infinite potential for inducing charges…”

“Opening boxes is addictive, so I’ll stop here. This is just a small suggestion from me. It’s up to you to adopt it or not.”

Roning felt like he was a marketing genius, and he wanted to top up 238 right now.

"Can you play like this? That's awesome!"

"Recharge players only speed up the collection of skins, actions and other appearance decorations, which does not affect the fairness of the game at all. Zero-krypton players can also open boxes to collect, and zero-krypton European emperors can even defeat small-krypton non-Africans. This idea is simply awesome!"

"Mr. Roning has both the consideration of gameplay and balance of professional players and the keen perception of business opportunities of successful entrepreneurs. It is an honor for our "Overwatch" production team to invite such a test character, so I suggest that we erect a statue of Commander Roning in the game map."

The employees, including the chief planner, were amazed after hearing this. The game can make money through multiple channels, and they can also get more year-end bonuses. Why not?

This flattery is comfortable~

But when he thought about going back to see those guys, every cell in Roning's body expressed his unwillingness.

The chief planner calmed down and thought about it. He felt that this method was not as good as he imagined. They were the only ones who charged two-way fees. What if players didn't buy it?

Everyone thought that the buyout system game was to pay once and enjoy it forever. It may be difficult to change the concepts established by players, so don't let it be too late.

Facing the doubts of the chief planner, Roning just smiled and said: "Practice makes the truth. If you want to be the first person to eat crabs, you must have the courage to face its hard claws and shells. Once you successfully crack the shell, the crab meat inside is very tender and delicious."

Roning did not paint them a rosy picture, but was realistic.

Take a ready-made example. In his previous world, Overwatch showed signs of being a big hit as soon as it was released, and it was indeed comparable to a phenomenon at its peak, but it was always a little short of it. The reason was still because of the threshold of the buyout system. The reason for the gradual decline in the end cannot be attributed to the two-way charging, but the less game content, the boring gameplay, and the inability to retain players for a long time, and the other is the plug-in.

This shows that as long as the game is of high quality, fun, and durable, it will not affect anything even if it is charged in both directions.

The key is still the gameplay. Temporary freshness is important, but more importantly, how to continuously bring freshness to players is the lifeblood of a game's long-term development.

"That's right. We will consider it carefully. Mr. Luo Ning, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to test the game for us. Thank you very much." The chief planner nodded.

Although it's true, it's risky. He decided to think about it carefully and hold a meeting with everyone to discuss and weigh the gains and losses. With such a large investment, let alone how much money you make, you can't lose money, right?

"By the way, let me tell you another piece of news. The new movie will be online soon. Please support it when the time comes."

Before leaving, Luo Ning said with a smile.

"That's for sure. We watched every Overwatch movie in the cinema. IMAX 3D is very enjoyable. We often watch it twice or three times."

"Mr. Roning, I have a question. Is the bodybuilding coach with pink hair in the "Black Shadow" Easter egg a man or a woman?"

"Yes, I want to ask this question too."

What the hell is a bodybuilding coach!

Roning smiled and said, "Actually, you will know when the new movie trailer is online, but it doesn't matter to tell you now. She is a female athlete."

"A female! A real female man!"

"A female athlete. No wonder her muscles are so developed. She must be a weightlifting athlete."

"Maybe it's wrestling."

After leaving the headquarters of Blizzard Entertainment, Roning's head hurt again. He really didn't want to go back to the base. But if he didn't go back, he was afraid that they would do whatever they wanted without supervision.

As soon as he went back, there was indeed a mess waiting for him to clean up. Either Black Lily sniped a policeman to ask questions, or Moira made the lab a mess, and he was so busy that he was exhausted.

It was too difficult!

He finally had some free time to check his phone, and then he saw the "big move" of Blizzard Entertainment.

A piece of news ignited the long-extinguished expectations in the hearts of all gamers and quickly topped the list.

"It is understood that Blizzard's new work "Overwatch" is in the pioneer test stage and is expected to meet global players within 2-4 months. The charging model is not clear yet, but according to the operating philosophy of a single-player giant like Blizzard, it should be a buyout system. Buy it out once and enjoy it for life!"

Seeing this, Roning smiled gently and elegantly, "Hehe, you are probably thinking too much!"
