Chapter 1271 It's All About Calculations

Thursday, October 25.

Pei Qian ordered a fish takeout, and while eating, he considered the recent situation of each department.

"I wonder what's going on over there on Suffering Tours?"

After Bao Xu stayed to help Yu Fei design "Ghost General 2", he had already left for Shennongjia. After counting the time, the suffering of those in charge should soon enter the most exciting part.

Since Bao Xu stayed for a week, the itinerary of this suffering trip is five weeks in total. The first week is the wild survival led by Sa Ziran, the second week is the wild survival led by Bao Xu, and the third four weeks are the nearby Sightseeing of scenic spots, the fifth week is the wild survival brought by Bao Xu.

At present, it should be in the middle and late stages of the second week. Compared with the "darkness before dawn" in the fifth week, this time should be the most desperate time for the people in charge.

Pei Qian suddenly wanted to see what was going on over there, so he sent a message to Bao Xu.

"I don't know if the signal over there is good or not, and whether it can be received."

After a while, Pei Qian found that his worries were unnecessary, because Bao Xu replied and sent a video.

After all, the domestic signal coverage is very extensive now, and Bao Xu and the others are not particularly remote places. In terms of location selection, safety issues must be considered to ensure that in the event of an accident, they can go to the nearby hospital as soon as possible.

Pei Qian clicked on the video to view it.

The video is a natural rock wall. Compared with the specially made artificial rock wall in the special training base, its shape is obviously much more complicated, but the slope is not so steep anymore.

The rock wall of the special training base is basically vertical, and the rock wall here is about seventy or eighty degrees.

But even so, rock climbing and rappelling in the wild are certainly much more difficult than indoors.

At this time, several people in charge were climbing up the rock wall one by one under Sa Ziran's care and protection, and then quickly descended after they all reached the top of the mountain.

The people in charge were all lined up, shivering.

Bao Xu, on the other hand, stood at the foot of the mountain in the best place to shoot, and shot such a video for Pei Qian.

Considering the speed of his reply, Pei Qian highly doubted that he did not shoot after seeing the information.

It is possible that such a video was shot a long time ago, and it happened to be sent when Mr. Pei was asking; it is also possible that Bao Xu just chose an excellent location to watch these responsible people suffer. After seeing Mr. Pei's information, he happened to record it. Down such a paragraph.

But no matter what the situation is, it shows that Bao Xu has chosen an excellent viewing position for himself, and he obviously enjoys it.

Seeing Bao Xu so happy, Pei Qian was relieved.

What better way to make a boss happy than to bring happiness to his employees?

Pei Qian couldn't help but sigh silently, "Hey, I'm really a kind person and a good boss.

Immediate reply: "Nice job, keep it up!"

He looked at the date again, and calculated with his fingers that Meng Chang might be coming back soon.

Meng Chang went to Shennongjia with the people who were suffering from travel before to formulate a marketing plan for this project. In nearly two weeks, with Meng Chang's efficiency, he should have been able to cut out the promotional video.

There is still a week before the end of the month, Meng Chang will definitely release this promotional video, otherwise he will miss the mention of success.

There are actually no specific regulations on the release time of Meng Chang's publicity plan, but in general, whether it is earlier or later, each has its own advantages.

Early hair is easy to accumulate heat, while late hair may detonate instant heat. Anyway, no matter how early or late, the difficulty of getting commission is similar.

"I don't know if Meng Chang can get the commission this time. I wish him well."

Pei Qian is not in a hurry, anyway, with Meng Chang's efficiency, most of it will be within a day or two.

Then, Pei Qian opened the forum again to check the activities of GOG and ioi.

Yesterday, after GOG participated in the 1024 Digital Festival's event "Light Comes", it caused a huge controversy on the Internet.

The price increase of skins has caused dissatisfaction among players, coupled with the influence of the activities on the ioi side, as well as the fueling of some people, it has now become a hot topic.

Although some people pointed their finger at Tengda, most players still thought that Eric should be blamed, which made Pei Qian feel a little regretful.

This shows that this turmoil is unlikely to spread to other industries.

But don't be too greedy, this is a good start after all.

However, Pei Qian was happily swiping a post scolding Eric when he suddenly saw a post.

The title is: "Fuck! There is another skin as a reward for the 'Light Comes' event!"

Pei Qian was stunned.

What he realized instantly!

The internal information that the GOG project team showed him at the beginning stated that the theme of the event was "Light and Darkness", but after the game was actually launched, the name changed to Light Comes.

Pei Qian originally thought that the name change was because "Light and Darkness" didn't sound too domineering, but now it seems that it's obviously not the case!

This "Light Comes" event is actually not complicated. Special product skins are listed in the game mall. Each of these heroes has a light-themed skin. No matter which one you buy, you can start an exclusive event. page.

On this activity page, some daily tasks are refreshed, and there is a progress bar above it.

Missions are all very simple, like playing a game or two with this skin and getting a certain number of kills or assists.

The growth of the progress bar is unlocked in stages and by day, which means that the rewards of the day will be unlocked after the daily tasks are met.

The rewards are divided into seven stages, which means that the event will take seven days to complete at the earliest.

But the reward specific to each day is not written, but a question mark icon is hung.

On the description page, it is indicated that this event includes rewards such as avatars, avatar frames, emoticons, animations for returning to the city, and special effects for killing.

On the first day, I just gave a very ordinary avatar, so there was no discussion.

After all, players have seen a lot of similar activities. In order to promote, the manufacturer must sell the skin as the body. As for the other rewards, it is at most a kind of extra.

In fact, most players don't care about this event at all, and their eyes are all focused on the price of the skin.

Although many players are calling for boycotts, GOG has such a large player group after all, and there are many die-hard players. Even if the price of this skin has increased, many players still choose to buy it.

As a result, today, after many people finished their daily tasks, they found that the reward unlocked today turned out to be another skin!

It is the dark version of the light version skin that I originally purchased!

Many players couldn't believe it when they first saw it, knowing that they were entering the game.

These two skins turned out to be the top skins!

Although the skins of the light version and the dark version have certain similarities in shape, the overall styles are quite different, especially under the background of the light and dark special effects.

Take the classic hero Modester as an example. In the light form, he wears silver-white armor with an angel-like halo on his head, and the golden light is dazzling; while in the dark form, he is a magic armor with a long head. With the demon's horns, black smoke rises from the whole body.

This level of change is definitely not something that can be done by simply changing the skin, it is equivalent to making another skin from scratch!

Many players didn't look forward to the next day's event reward at all. They thought it was mostly a small reward such as an avatar or a city return animation, but it turned out to be a skin, and it was hard to believe their eyes.

Looking at the comments on the forum, a 180-degree turn took place in an instant!

"I rub it, buy one get one free? And the dark version of the skin is exactly the same as the bright version in terms of quality and special effects, and it is also the top level!"

"Now I understand why the price is so high, because these are originally two skins!"

"If it's a normal active skin, the price is 45. Considering the discount for the first week, it is also 36. The two together add up to 72. Now it only sells for 68, which is even cheaper!"

"There's a misunderstanding! I thought the price of the skin has gone up, but it turned out that it didn't go up at all, it's still the previous price."

"Nima, the reward for this event is outrageous, what is it called 'this event includes rewards such as avatars, avatar frames, emojis, animations for returning to the city, special effects for kills, etc.'? This guy's most important skin reward is given to 'wait' Is it alright?"

"Officially, this is simply fishing. Who would have thought that such an event would even give away another skin?"

"It's weird, why don't you just write it out? Why hide it so tightly? Wouldn't it have a better publicity effect at the beginning?"

"You don't understand this. This is the romance of Tenda games, which can always bring new surprises to players!"

"Isn't it targeting ioi? In the past two days, many naval forces are concentrating their firepower on GOG to wash the ground for ioi's price increase."

"How could it be? GOG's activities came first, and you can see that these two skins have one light and one dark, and the shapes have something in common. Obviously, they were developed together, and this event should have been arranged a long time ago."

"That is to say, ioi took the initiative to touch the porcelain, but he knocked himself down?"

"It can only be said that it deserves it! If ioi does not increase prices or even discount, even if GOG reverses, it will not pose a real blow to them, but the word of mouth earned in the early stage can still be retained; Raising prices and touching porcelain is completely a joke!"

The players were obviously broken by this set of operations by Tenda.

Two top skins are sold in a package, but only one is advertised, and the other is hidden in the event, who can imagine this!

The key is that it goes against the intuition of many players, and game developers in the past did not do this.

Other game makers must have put the two together to promote it. The whole world knows how to put one and hide the other, and let players discover it for themselves?

There is a question mark on the event reward icon, and the reward description only emphasizes regular rewards such as avatars and avatar frames, and also gives away the skin "waiting", which has to be said to be very deceptive.

Some players wondered if this was against ioi, but it was quickly refuted.

Because this event was launched by GOG first, and the skins were made early in the morning. If it is aimed at it, then this can only be done by collaborating with ioi insiders?

How could it work so well together?

But these players do not know the real situation inside Tenda.

Pei Qian thought for a while, and soon understood the cause and effect.

This is Eric targeting ioi!

Obviously, Eric and Zhao Xuming are very familiar with the R&D and operation of ioi. This event is a prediction.

Deliberately disassemble the two skins, hide the dark skin in the event reward, go fishing!

The time limit for fishing is one week, which is 7 days.

In the past 7 days, if there is no action on the ioi side, the activities will continue as usual. Except for some scolding, there will be no substantial loss. Anyway, when the final skin comes out, the players will definitely be really fragrant. .

Or there is an event on the ioi side, but the price of the new skin has been reduced, so the reversal of the event on the GOG side will not cause substantial harm to them.

But now ioi has not only raised the price of skins, but also invited some navy soldiers to bring the rhythm online, which is embarrassing!

He was counter-killed on the spot, and the more joyful he danced at the time, the more ruthless he was slapped in the face now!

As for why the time is just right... Obviously there are calculations.

All the reward icons in the event are question marks, that is to say, what rewards are given every day can actually be adjusted.

Give what you want first.

If ioi finds out on the first day and takes action, then GOG will replace the second day's reward with a skin;

If ioi finds out on the fifth day, then GOG will replace the reward on the sixth day with a skin.

In short, whenever ioi is hooked, GOG will send skins!

And the reason why this event was successful, in the final analysis, is that Eric completely pinpointed the weakness of ioi, which is the price!

The executives of Dayak Group have been eager to raise prices to make money, but they couldn't find a good time, so Eric cleverly sent this opportunity to the door.

The top management of Dayak Group did not have the perspective of God. Seeing that GOG had released all the activities, there was nothing unusual. They thought that GOG’s market share was already high enough, and they planned to increase the price to cut leeks, so they immediately followed up happily. superior.

As a result, there was a problem with this one!

The public opinion on the Internet was completely reversed in an instant. Before, many people were still boasting that the ioi side was more conscientious, the quality of the skin was improved, there were many small rewards, and the price increase was not much.

But now GOG is just buying one get one free, and these people have nothing to say.

Because everyone can see it, it is obviously GOG that is more fragrant! Xiang's madness, Xiang's incomprehensible!

Many players performed Sichuan Opera face-changing on the spot, expressing that they want to buy this skin.

As for ioi... I can only say that those who are looking forward to its rise will be disappointed again.

As for Pei Qian, there is only one thought at this time.

I've been fooled too!

I originally thought that Eric should be very worry-free. After all, he and Zhao Xuming together have a wealth of failure experience.

In the end, I didn't expect that this Nima was much more ruthless than Min Jingchao!
