Chapter 373 Figures
September 2, Wednesday.
Anti-Heaven Game Experience Store.
"Hey? Store Manager! A rare guest!"
Gu Fan had just walked into the experience store when he heard Sui Tao's voice full of surprise.
He waved his hand: "Hey, what do you mean by rare guest? Keep a low profile. I was just assigned to a more important position for a while. Now that things are almost done over there, I can continue to come back to check on the experience store.
"How is it, is everything OK here?"
Sui Tao nodded quickly: "All good, all good! It's all thanks to the store manager's good leadership. Our experience store is thriving!"
Gu Fan was almost choked by a cough, and quickly signaled Sui Tao to shut up: "Okay, I understand what you mean, but it's better to use this word less."
Sui Tao didn't understand: "Huh? Why? "
Gu Fan did not explain any more, but just took a look at the current state of the experience store.
It has to be said that the experience store is indeed getting more and more lively. The occupancy rate of the first floor hall has almost reached more than 70%. As for other floors, although they cannot be seen for the time being, judging from the collection of keys at the front desk, the occupancy rate should also be more than 50%.
This occupancy rate is not very high for an Internet cafe, but it is quite good for an experience store or a console game store.
After all, the business model and charging standards of the two are also different.
The players in the hall are basically playing various games seriously.
Gu Fan noticed that the subsequent games launched by Against Heaven, such as the 70th version of "Shadow World", have also been updated in the experience store, and some players are playing at this time.
However, the players playing "Shadow World" in the hall are basically lone wolf players. If they need to open the microphone, they will basically go to the special private room on the second floor.
It can be seen that many players in the hall are also familiar with each other. When they are tired of playing games, they will chat, and even use some equipment in the experience store by themselves, such as coffee machines.
"Is there any buddy who can use the coffee machine? Help me make a cup of coffee, thank you! ”
“I know how. Do you want a latte or an Americano?”
“Iced Americano! I’m going to fight this boss today and I have to take him down!”
“It’s done. Come and get it yourself.”
“Okay, thanks, buddy.”
This is the unique business model of the Against Heaven Game Experience Store: self-service.
There are of course special coffee machines in the experience store, as well as ice cream, drinks and snacks. But there are no baristas or salesmen.
Because Gu Fan didn’t hire one.
So far, Sui Tao is the store manager of this store, and there are five other employees besides him.
Initially there were three employees, but it was still a bit difficult to turn around, so five more were recruited later, barely ensuring that there would always be at least one employee in the experience store during normal working hours.
Of course, there are cleaners, but they are not counted as employees.
If it is the case of ordinary stores, even if a clerk is exhausted, it is impossible to meet the needs of so many customers.
General stores will choose to recruit an additional barista professional The store makes coffee for customers, and then arranges at least one or two store clerks on each floor to meet customer needs at any time.
But this experience store has implemented Gu Fan's concept from the beginning, reducing the number of store clerks as much as possible and allowing customers to manage themselves.
So, customers use the coffee machine to make coffee and choose drinks and snacks by themselves.
At present, the clerks only play a simple supervisory role, and when the players are busy, they can also choose to help a little.
Gu Fan's ultimate goal is to achieve complete self-care for players, and it is best that even the opening and closing of the experience store can be completely self-service. Of course, this goal is far away, and it may require the help of many technical means to achieve, but it is always a general direction.
"So what instructions do you have this time, store manager?"
Sui Tao's recent work attitude is still relatively positive, because it can be seen with the naked eye that the business of the experience store is getting better and better, which also makes him feel very accomplished.
Gu Fan smiled slightly: "Of course, I am here to promote the fist product of Against Heaven for a period of time in the future!
"Wait a minute, the things should arrive soon."
Gu Fan said and looked at the logistics information on his mobile phone. Sure enough, after a few minutes, the courier was delivered to the door.
These are several large cardboard boxes. After opening them, there are rectangular boxes inside. Judging from the packaging and the transparent part of the shell, this is a well-made figure.
Sui Tao dragged the large cardboard boxes into the warehouse temporarily and locked them up, leaving a few for display and placing them at the front desk.
Soon, curious customers came over.
"Oh! This split cheongsam is quite exciting!"
All the figures are of the same person, but there are three different types according to different postures and shapes.
This character is of course the first female character of "Heartbeat Dreamland", Ellios. Her appearance is just as designed before. There are gold hairpins and red tassel pendants on her soft golden hair. She is wearing a tight gold silk high split cheongsam. The sleeves of the robe are slightly raised at the forearms, and there are semi-transparent black gauze on the upper arms and thighs.
The first one is a standard standing figure, with eyes looking straight ahead, upright figure, and heroic appearance.
The second one is a sitting figure, holding a book and reading, looking gentle and elegant.
The third one is a dynamic figure, which seems to be releasing some kind of spell, and is surrounded by spell effects of different colors.
The postures of these three figures are different, and the textures of their skin and clothing are meticulous, which can be regarded as relatively fine among the figures.
Hou Ji is already an old customer of the experience store. He and Zhuge Jun and other students have become old players of the experience store. Because they come here often, they can enjoy obvious discounts on prices.
In addition, Gu Fan also launched a "work-in-progress plan" in the experience store, that is, customers of the experience store can help do some trivial things in the store, such as helping to make coffee, simple cleaning, maintaining equipment, or giving guidance to other customers, etc., in exchange for a certain amount of compensation.
So college students like Hou Ji and Zhuge Jun who have nothing to do run here when they have nothing to do.
Seeing this well-made figure at this time, the group of college students can't take their eyes off it.
"Is this a figure made by Ni Tian Tang? Haven't seen it before?
"What game is it from?" Hou Ji asked curiously.
"It's obviously not from the previous game. Could it be a new game? Could Ni Tian Tang be making a two-dimensional game? ”
Zhuge Jun is a loyal player of the game Against Heaven. He has played almost all the games. He can tell at a glance that this figure is not a character from any previous game.
Gu Fan nodded: "It is a new game of Against Heaven, but it is hard to say whether it is a two-dimensional game. It should not be considered a two-dimensional game."
So far, the figure has been basically completed, and the desktop program of Ellios has also been completed. The preliminary publicity work of "Heartbeat Dream" will soon be carried out, so most of the information can be disclosed.
The only thing is that the specific game type of "Heartbeat Dream" is to be left as a surprise to the players.
Zhuge Jun was stunned for a moment: "Oh? Isn't it a two-dimensional game?
"But looking at this figure, and the feeling this character gives people...
"Oh, I see, store manager, you mean that because the style of this character is closer to the realistic style of the three-dimensional world, it is not considered a two-dimensional game, but the gameplay is basically the same, right?"
Gu Fan smiled slightly without comment: "I can only say, stay tuned. "
