Chapter 302 Story Clearance Line: Work Hard, Work Hard, Work Hard (Please Subscribe)

Although [Richside Village] is the same as [SVE], they are both large expansion DLCs, and they are not separated by a long time.

However, [SVE] is an expansion based on the main body of Stardew Valley. The content has been greatly increased, but it is still within the framework of Pelican Town.

But [Ridgeside Village] has taken a different approach, adding a brand new village based on Pelican Town, and the two villages are still linked.

What's more, the plot entry points of the two are different, the main plots are different, the village characteristics are different, and even the races of the NPCs are different.

The most important point is that all players who purchase [SVE] can get [Ridgeside Village] for free.

[SVE] It’s only two yuan, and you can buy one and get one free. The base game Stardew Valley is the leader in farming management this year.

Needless to say how cost-effective it is.

Players only have one word - rush!

As a result, even though [Ridgeside Village] is released for free, the unique marketing linkage has made the sales of Stardew Valley and [SVE] rise to a higher level again on the original basis.

The DLC [Ritchieside Village] was released for one week, and Stardew Valley was released for 30 days. The cumulative sales successfully exceeded 15 million, ranking first in the weekly sales rankings on the exclusive steam platform, first in the monthly sales rankings, and annual sales. No. 1 in sales rankings.

Stardew Valley has created a miracle in the form of a low-cost game with pixel art style, becoming the most popular and profitable game in the gaming industry this year.

On the contrary, it is the dismal sales performance of [Kingdom Clash].

[Kingdom Contest] is Wutong Game Company’s annual game, and Jiang Zhihao and even the entire company have great confidence in it.

It’s a pity that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. Today, when games are becoming more and more homogenized, and competition on the gaming circuit is becoming more and more intense, [Kingdom Clash] encountered the Waterloo of its life.

In the seven days since its release, [Kingdom Clash] has sold less than a fraction of the original version of Stardew Valley. Online public opinion, game sales, number of people online, and even player reputation have all been completely crushed by Stardew Valley.

There is even a saying circulating among gaming circles and even player groups——

The release day of [Richside Village] has become a suffering day for [Kingdom Clash].

Wutong Game Company, from the company's vice president to the cleaning aunt, has been shrouded in the haze and low pressure of Jiang Zhihao for a period of time. It can be said that they are walking on thin ice.

The employees were afraid that if they appeared under Jiang Zhihao's nose, they would be scolded for some reason and asked to pack up and leave.

When Jiang Zhihao appeared in the company lobby, the employees were busy looking for work for themselves, typing frantically on the keyboard with their hands, looking like they were working seriously.

Jiang Zhihao walked towards the front desk with a gloomy face. When he saw someone from the company coming out of the tea room, he frowned and stood there without saying a word.

The employee was holding the teacup. When he saw Jiang Zhihao, he was immediately trembling with fear. He could neither put nor hide the teacup in his hand.

"During working hours, you are not at your work station, hiding in the tea room to enjoy some leisure time?" Jiang Zhihao waved his hand: "You don't need to come tomorrow!"

"Ah? No, Mr. Jiang, I..."

"What am I? I said you don't have to come again, don't you understand?"

"..."

Jiang Zhihao ignored the employee and turned downstairs.

The employee was dumbfounded holding a tea cup. Not long after, HR came to the office lobby and took him away to go through the resignation procedures.

The employees in the office lobby turned around and looked at the company's entrance and exit, with regret, sigh, resentment, confusion, and anger in their eyes.

Jiang Zhihao, who knew nothing about all this, had already driven to the tea room downstairs of the company. The heads of Fengqi, Baihua, and Qingshan had already been waiting in the tea room for a long time.

Jiang Zhihao walked into the private room with a gloomy expression, as if no strangers were allowed to enter. He did not speak when he came in, he just held tea and drank tea. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Upon seeing this, Qian Rui took advantage of the fact that she was the only woman present and opened her mouth to ease the atmosphere and smooth things over. "Zhihao, you are a gambler. The failure of [Farming Lord] is within your tolerance, but you shouldn't get mad at the gamble and then release [Kingdom Contest]..."

The other two people also agreed deeply when they heard the words. Jiang Zhihao didn't say anything but just drank tea.

Upon seeing this, Liu Mufeng said: "Zhihao, it's okay. Look for the best in everything. Look, at least we know that the old thief has more than just Ark. Survival Evolved. This is also a good thing."

"But to be honest, the old thief is so courageous. You said...who would have thought that the card he hid is not a new game, but a large expansion DLC?"

Jiang Zhihao said angrily: "We, Wutong Game Company, entered the arena this time and bet on two games. One of them is our company's annual production. As a result, not only did no one's hair get hurt, but my vitality was directly damaged."

"Think of hindsight, who doesn't know how to use hindsight? This time you organized the game, but you told me to brainstorm ways and countermeasures. That's why I came here. Do you guys have any ideas?"

"As the saying goes, you can do it once but never again!" Zheng Min said calmly:

"No matter how awesome the DLC is, no matter how high-quality Stardew Valley is, with its current game sales and popularity, the player audience will be able to absorb it in a short time. In my opinion, even if we make another game of the same quality in a short time DLC, the response will not be as high as it is today.”

"What do you mean..." Jiang Zhihao said in disbelief:

"You're not going to ask me or Liu Mufeng to release a farming management game, are you? Let's talk about it first. I've even released the annual production that's at the bottom of the box. I don't know how many cards the old thief has in his hand, but I have a real one. No more cards."

Among the four companies -

Baihua and Qingshan are two game companies that focus on survival-themed games.

The two game companies, Fengqi and Wutong, are deeply involved in farming and management-themed games.

Until now, only Fengqi and Wutong have taken action, while Baihua and Qingshan have been watching from the sidelines. Jiang Zhihao listened to Zheng Min's words.

Why did he still plan to let the two families take action, while he just sat back and watched the fight between the tigers and the tigers, thinking that he was a stupid boy?

"No, no, of course not!" Zheng Min waved his hand and said: "We are grasshoppers on a rope. If there is no reason, you just charge. We will watch from behind."

"What I mean is that even if there is a third DLC for Stardew Valley, the sales response will not be as good as the first two, but with the foundation of Stardew Valley, it will still be unbeatable."

"Within this year, Taiping Road will be like a farming and operating track, plated with a layer of gold in Stardew Valley. No one can come."

"Instead of worrying about how many cards Cai Gou has hidden in his hand, it is better to let him play his bright cards and let the second shoe fall. Only then will we feel at ease. In the future, whether he releases DLC or a new game is released, we will feel safe in our hearts." Be prepared.”

Qian Rui nodded and said: "This is the result of discussions between Zheng Min and I. We have seen Stardew Valley, but we haven't seen Ark: Survival Evolved. To be on the safe side, we can just make a small production of survival construction. Let him play his cards."

"Oh?" Jiang Zhihao became interested, swept away the gloom on his forehead, and asked: "Then...who of you will come first?"

Zheng Min smiled and said: "Let me do it. I specially asked my subordinates to find a cheap template from the resource website and create a low-cost survival and construction game. Let's explore the path first and listen to the sound."

"When do you plan to release it?" Jiang Zhihao asked.

Zheng Min pondered for a moment: "[Richside Village] has only been released not long ago. If it is released now, even two tracks will be easily affected. The old thief doesn't even need to release Ark Survival Evolved. The small game will not be played." If you are affected, you will die. If you do this, you will be blind. "

"Should we wait a little longer?!"

When the three of them heard this, they all nodded in agreement.

After today's conversation, the top four families went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers and began a long wait.

The wait is long, and the process of waiting for a popular game to drop in popularity is even longer.

But this period of time is very difficult for just four young people, but players are having an immersive experience in the game worlds of [SVE] and [Ridgeside Village], and it is difficult to extricate themselves.

The game Stardew Valley has an inexplicable magic that makes players not want to close it after opening it, and they do not want to open it after closing it. The key is that players will not close it at all, so that they open it every day.

Old players are gradually commuting between Ridgeside Village and Pelican Town. Cross-village commuting has become the norm for Stardew Valley players, and game progress is also growing by leaps and bounds.

During the game, players gradually discovered the story line of [Richside Village].

If in [SVE], unlocking the Crimson Wasteland is the end of the story.

Then in [Richside Village], players need to unlock the hilltop farm in [Richside Village].

This hilltop farm is not the player farm selected by the player when creating the game interface, but a brand new map in [Ridgeside Village].

From the words [Story Pass Line], you can see that this is not a simple process.

For [SVE] players, unlocking the Crimson Wasteland is a huge effort.

Because there are five conditions to unlock the Crimson Wasteland——

[First]: I have seen Ma Long’s Galaxy Sword incident.

[Second]: I met Alesia at the Adventurer’s Guild.

[Third]: Remove the boulders that reach the top of the mountain.

[Fourth]: Reach the top of Jiangdao Crater.

[Fifth]: Complete the quest line of the Enchanted Forest.

It may not seem like much, but in fact, these conditions also have prerequisite tasks. If you want to complete the conditions, you must complete the prerequisite tasks, so this is not a condition, but a task line.

Even for veteran players who want an immersive experience and want to complete a large number of tasks and conditions, unlocking the Crimson Wasteland is a time-consuming event that requires investment of time and energy.

It is precisely because of the lessons learned from [SVE] that players have suffered enough, so when they see Wuwo released a video explaining the story pass line of [Richside Village], players will feel a pang of pain.

Douyu live broadcast platform, game area.

At this moment, Boss Yin is not playing the game, but is looking at the explanation of the [Richside Village] story line with a pained expression.

"After we place the nine cultural relics in the correct location, we can open the door to the spiritual world. After entering the spiritual world, players can see that the spiritual world is polluted. Players can go to the spiritual world through teleportation between crystals. Destroy the five corrupting fires in the spiritual world."

"After the five corrupting fires are extinguished, the spiritual world will be rejuvenated. At this point, our story line will be officially completed, and the mountaintop farm will be successfully unlocked."

"The area of ​​the mountaintop farm is very large. The most important thing is that you can farm. Players can also teleport here through the cable car of [Richside Village]. After unlocking the mountaintop farm, Gio and Daya will also become marriageable partners."

"Okay, the above is the content of the selfless Stardew Valley series of videos. I hope everyone will like and support it. See you next time."

This episode of [Richside Village] story clearance video has completely different reactions in the eyes of different players.

Marriage party: "What? There are two more villagers to marry?"

Farming party: "What? You can actually farm on the mountaintop farm?"

Story party: "What? The main story line is so exciting?"

Extreme party: "What? There are bigger challenges waiting for me?"

Noob party: "What? Why don't you kill me if it's so difficult?"

It can be said that-

The ups and downs of life, all kinds of life, tired of love, and so on.

You ask what is the composition of Yin Lao Da?

It is obvious that he is a noob party.

When other players are struggling to pass the Stardew Valley, he has not even entered the pit.

While other players were working day and night to clear the [SVE] DLC, he hadn't even cleared the main game yet.

While other players were working in [Richside Village] across villages, he had just started working.

"Gudong..." Boss Yin swallowed unconsciously and scratched his head:

"Why do I feel that the story line of [Richside Village] is harder than that of [SVE]?"

"I just started the game not long ago, and after watching this video, I feel my liver is aching. It must be because I have spent too much money on the game recently. Otherwise, should I postpone the challenge of opening up [Richside Village] for a while?"

Facing Boss Yin's fear before the battle, the fans naturally disagreed.

How can such a good challenge that can appreciate the host's suffering be cancelled?

"No, we agreed to suffer for a lifetime. One year, one month, one day, or one hour less will not count as a lifetime!"

"Boss, good job! Be energetic! Don't lose face!"

"What are you afraid of? Why don't you dare to fight with [Richside Village]?"

"Boss, it will be quick and painless. Believe me!"

"Since you are here..."

"Give it a try. People have been waiting for a long time. You can't be so weak, right?"

"Boss, how can a man say he can't do it???"

In the barrage of players, there are threats, jokes, instigation, and ridicule, which directly pushes the player to Liangshan.

To sum it up, there is one sentence--

Want to not play? No!

Want to not play? Grandma!

Boss Yin's hands twitched like chicken claws. After hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and said hard:

"Okay, you are really good. I don't want to fight anymore. I will continue to open up the wasteland. The goal is to complete the story of [Richside Village]."
