Chapter 466: Assembling (2-in-1)
The templates for those superstar characters have actually been purchased by many people.
SUPERSTARS DON'T MAKE MONEY BY SELLING CHARACTER TEMPLATES, BUT BY PERIPHERAL REVENUE, SUCH AS POSTERS, FIGURINES, CUSTOM BATTLE SUITS (COSPLAY EQUIPMENT) AND SO ON.
Of course, the new skins and decorations on the player platform are also a big selling point in the online revenue. For example, Roaring Tianzun launched a "Dr. J" skin this year, wearing a suit and tie, and wearing monocles and a white beard, with the muscles that almost burst the suit, forming a weird cute point that poked the hearts of many straight β men, and it was a big hit.
In contrast, the new skin of the noble son, who is also a superstar, is not very creative, and the back and forth is nothing more than the medieval aristocratic style of "Bloody Count", "Tango Baron", "Duke of Destruction" and so on.
Fortunately, the noble son's appearance is high enough, and he has the charm of a mature man, so he has the support of many girl fans, and the sales of new skins have been very guaranteed.
"How's the player's feedback?" Bai Xiaowen asked. The buying boom in the first two days can only show that the publicity work in the early stage is excellent, and the CG appearance animation is sufficient. Only a sustained reputation can make more and more fans of the virtual battle platform rush to buy.
"I've been staring at the forums and counting them. It is expected that within three days, we will be able to get relatively objective evaluation data, and now there are a few sporadic evaluations, which are relatively subjective and cannot be seen. Sister Zheng said.
Li Shuyi fiddled with her mobile phone, swiped her little hand lightly, and also bought Bai Xiaowen's psychic prince character on the player platform, and said with a smile: "Such a strong template only sells for 99 yuan, so a fool won't buy it." Xiaowen, you have to have confidence in yourself. β
The Awakened itself has a special battle platform, but this does not affect the Awakened to apply for an account on a player platform as an ordinary player. On the player platform, the Awakened are not using their own templates, everything is the same as ordinary players, it belongs to entertainment.
Bai Xiaowen smiled: "I have always had confidence in myself, but not everyone can use the role of a psychic prince well." Forget it, put this matter aside for now, and Sister Zheng will follow up. What's next?"
Sister Zheng took out a small notebook and said, "The winter vacation is over, you need to report to the school, of course, you have been busy recently, you can also consider delaying the registration for a week or two, I can call Jinghai University to apply for details." β
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly, and Sister Zheng continued: "Just today, while you were sleeping, the Super God Guild sent a voluntary assembly notice to carry out a road clearing task in the wilderness area. President Li said, I hope you can participate and communicate with other members of the guild. β
The road clearing operation in the wilderness area is a large-scale project led by the government and jointly participated by the large and small guilds of each base city, and is carried out in spring and autumn every year.
There is no way, the mutant beasts in the wilderness area are reproducing too fast, and a few months is a generation. In order to keep the roads between the base cities clear, the monster herds near the roads must be cleared regularly. According to the report of the outpost, the official will divide the road into sections and allocate them in the form of project bidding.
Of course, the project bidding is not only based on whose bid is low, but also the strength of the guild. The highest official goal is to ensure that the road is cleared, not how many Psionic Points are saved.
As for how to measure the strength of the guild, it is very simple, look at the guild's ranking in the leagues at all levels......
Some people may say that this way is unfair, but it is already a relatively fair way. Just like the college entrance examination in the era of the Common Era, the college entrance examination certainly has many shortcomings, such as exam-oriented education, high scores and low ability, and the second generation of officials/rich still enjoys advantages, etc., but it is difficult to find a fairer way to distribute social classes than the college entrance examination.
This kind of road clearing operation is also one of the important ways for guilds of all sizes to earn psionic points and maintain the operation of guilds.
As for the depths of the wilderness area far from the road, if there are too many monsters, they will even kill each other in order to survive, thus giving birth to more powerful individuals, which is also the reason why the depths of the wilderness area are more dangerous, so let's not mention it for the time being.
There are some mutant herds in the depths of the wilderness that will wander near the roads from time to time to seize these empty territories. At this time, the hidden outposts and bunkers arranged along the road section will issue early warnings and feedback to the base city officials.
The official will hang the task of cleaning up the wandering beast herd at a fixed point in the mission hall of the Awoken Association, and it will be collected by a guild or team of the Awoken, and then completed within the specified time limit.
In the era of psionic energy, maintaining the smooth flow of domestic roads is an important political task, if the roads are isolated, and the various base cities cannot even do normal exchanges and exchanges, forming isolated islands, it will really be "a country will not be a country".
Transactions between the Awakened through virtual markets such as virtual halls generally require transportation by road between the base cities.
Of course, roads are not the only mode of transportation. In the Age of Psionic Powers, there was a very special way to do it - teleportation.
Teleportation Orbs, Teleportation Arrays, Teleportation Runes...... In the age of psionics, anything is possible.
It's just that the transmission is convenient and safe, but the cost of each transmission is too high, and no matter what kind of transmission method it is, it is not cheap.
Just as in the era of the Common Era, transportation and logistics required air, sea and land transportation at the same time, and logistics and transportation in the Psionic Era were also parallel. ValuablesγPeople who are not bad for money (psionic points) go teleporting, and the rest go by road trafficγ
Bai Xiaowen is now a level 5 hero class, and he can be regarded as a master within the Super God Guild, and it is reasonable that the guild's assembly action needs his participation.
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "Okay, go back and contact the school, Sister Zheng, I'll delay the registration." I'm almost running out of combat experience slots, and I might be able to reach the level 6 threshold this time. β
Li Shuyi said: "Me too...... That's why I'm delaying my check-in and moving up level 6 with you. β
As an elite profession, Li Shuyi is upgraded faster than Bai Xiaowen. However, Bai Xiaowen practiced in the Necronomicon Treasure Land space for several more days, and in the Black Tide Plane World, he did two more tasks - a main quest "The Secret of the Latent Labyrinth", and a special side quest "Prophet's Mission", and also got an additional experience reward, so the experience slot is similar to Li Shuyi.
Sister Zheng nodded and wrote it down, and then turned to the next page of the small book: "The Super God Pharmacy has already transferred the auction money from the previous few auctions to your account, and they now need a new batch of potions." β
"Got it. Bai Xiaowen has not forgotten this incident.
"In addition, there are some newspaper and electronic media interview invitations, and with the release of CG on the virtual battle platform, your popularity has been on the rise," Sister Zheng said with a smile, "Do you want to accept it? This will help your fame to a certain extent." β
"If it's a local media, push it, and a national media depends on the circulation and influence of the other party,"
Bai Xiaowen thought for a while and said, "I really don't have much time - I have to participate in the guild assembly and make potions, and in another month, the CUAA national competition will start...... I also have an important thing that will take two or three days, and I want to practice my combat skills and skills proficiency......"
"I understand," Sister Zheng's pen kept chattering, "By the way, I still have three invitations to live broadcast platforms here, namely Shark TV, Maoya Live and Panda Platform, the signing fee and follow-up treatment are very attractive, do you want to take a look?"
Bai Xiaowen smiled and took the small notebook in Sister Zheng's hand.
Of course, the detailed contract content will not be recorded in the small book, only the key contract information extracted by Sister Zheng from the three contracts.
"It's not a small deal. β
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly.
Xiao Jun on the side peeked at it: "Ah...... How much is the signing fee?"
Sister Zheng said with a smile: "Among the three platforms, Maoya's signing fee is the lowest, but there are also 30 million, and the highest is still shark, 39.88 million." And in terms of follow-up promotion, they all promise instant top recommendations, and the minimum live broadcast time is also relatively relaxed...... This is the treatment of a first-line big anchor. β
The so-called instant top refers to the fact that as soon as Bai Xiaowen starts broadcasting, the live broadcast room will be ranked in the first column of the homepage, no matter when the broadcast starts.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said: "The contract period is too long, I took a look at it and started in three years." I still want to sign a six-month contract, up to a maximum of one year...... It doesn't matter if the signing fee is reduced proportionally. β
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen said again: "Shark TV won't be considered." β
Li Shuyi gently pulled Bai Xiaowen's hand: "It's okay, you don't have to worry, I believe in you." β
Bai Xiaowen shook his head with a smile, still insisting on putting aside Shark TV. On the one hand, because of the association between Fu Qiu and Fu Hong, Shark TV and the Giant God Medicine Store and even the Giant God Guild, Bai Xiaowen wants to keep a distance from Shark TV. On the other hand, it is the relationship between Sister Zheng being swept away by a shark.
If you want to talk about other reasons, it is that when Bai Xiaowen was live broadcast before, there was an unpleasant experience of the shark platform unilaterally ignoring the promised promotion conditions and giving Bai Xiaowen "small shoes".
Sister Zheng hesitated for a moment and said: "This is more difficult, your current development potential is something that everyone can see, so they all hope to sign a long-term contract." In the case of a short contract, unless it is a platform that urgently needs the pillar characters to support the card, no platform is willing to sign. β
Bai Xiaowen said very resolutely: "Let's talk about it like this, Sister Zheng." If there is no platform willing to sign, then it will not sign a live broadcast contract. β
Bai Xiaowen is also considerate, he is now in the transition period of the college league, and he is gradually out of the stage of earning fame by live broadcasting.
The reason why I still have the idea of signing a short contract is that at this stage, I do need to occasionally show my face in a live broadcast to maintain my popularity on the earth. As Bai Xiaowen's professional character template logs in to the player platform, it will be easier and easier for him to gain popularity, and the importance of live broadcast will become less and less, and he will eventually be dispensable.
Moreover, the previous practice of the shark platform also made Bai Xiaowen confess that the live broadcast platform is the strong side, and the anchor is always a weak group. It may be fanciful before it is signed, but after the contract comes into effect, it is still easy for the live broadcast platform to shirk the conditions promised.
Therefore, Bai Xiaowen was unwilling to sign a long-term contract for a few years to bind himself.
Sister Zheng nodded: "Okay, I'll talk to them as you say." β
After a while, He Zhiqing poked out of the kitchen, it was time to eat. Everyone smiled and went over to serve the food, and the table was full of tempting delicacies, which really made Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi, two people who had not returned to the earth for more than ten days, feast their mouths.
Although in the Camelot Palace, Bai Xiaowen and the others also tasted a lot of so-called "royal special" food from the Kuroshio Continent, which is quite otherworldly, but there is still a big gap compared to the spiritual food on the earth.
While eating, Bai Xiaowen also took out his charged mobile phone and replied to chat messages.
These chat messages were mainly sent by his college classmates, to be exact, the members of the varsity team.
This winter vacation, the members of the school team are not without an inch.
Perhaps motivated by Bai Xiaowen's rocket-like promotion speed, the members of the Jinghai University team have improved their strength during a winter vacation.
Chen Guowei finally rose to level 4 and stepped into the threshold of an intermediate awakener.
Feng Ziang climbed to level 5.
Han Xu is also level 5, and the combat experience slot has exceeded 50%, and he is marching to level six.
Xiang Hui is close to level 5, and his progress speed is the fastest one, after all, he has the backing of the Radiance Guild. However, Xiang Hui also told Bai Xiaowen about his follow-up thoughts, he was a little backward in terms of combat expertise, and he planned to wait until he passed level 5 to precipitate for a period of time and practice more combat specialties and skill proficiency.
Xiang Hui's thoughts coincide with Bai Xiaowen, this may be family education.
Bai Xiaowen is thinking about practicing combat specialties and skills after being promoted to level 6 - as an awakened person close to level 6, his combat skills are generally only LV3~LV4, which is obviously unqualified. If it weren't for Bai Xiaowen's skill level and combat specialty bonuses as the strongest scholar, if he had been strengthened by the key skills of LV4 early, he would have struggled to break through the spirit world.
The system of matching the rules of the spirit world is based only on the level, and the awakened person must be matched to a plane world that is 1~2 levels higher. If you can't keep up with the level of your combat specialty, of course you will suffer a lot.
As for others, such as Liu Fei, Xiao Mingsheng, etc., they have also improved. However, they did not take the initiative to contact Bai Xiaowen, and their situation was told by Chen Guowei in a rambling message.
......
In the early morning of the next day, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi went to the assembly site together within the agreed time to participate in the guild action.
"Morning, Xiaobai, Miss~"
"Uncle Demon. β
"Uncle demon, can you not call me Miss. Li Shuyi was still a little shy, which made the old demon laugh.
On the side, a young man dressed in a fine metal thorn suit and dressed as a rock 'n' roll was secretly about to walk back.
The old demon grabbed his wrist: "Captain, you can't go, Xiaobai is a newcomer, you have to say hello." β
Nie Kong was a little embarrassed, and quickly glanced at Bai Xiaowen: "Hmm." β
"Uh......" Bai Xiaowen nodded at Nie Kong. Although this person is funny, his essence is not bad.
