February 14th, Good Friday for single dogs.

League of Legends has been growing strongly for a full week after its launch, with daily active players surpassing one million.

Under the multiple promotion strategies, "League of Legends" has expanded to more and more players who have never been exposed to RTS games and COG at all, and promotion strategies such as online café promotion and friend invitation rewards have also become an important means to attract new players into the pit.

On the third day after the launch, Chen Mo released the relevant content of the Valentine's Day event on the in-game event page, which made players look forward to it.

This Valentine's Day event is mainly based on the [Heart Hunter] Vayne skin as the main selling point, and if you miss this week's event, you will have to wait until next year to buy this skin.

In addition, there are also matching active missions, and completing the game in a team will receive rewards such as coins, avatar frames, and experience cards, which are all important means to stimulate the further spread of the player base.

It can be expected that if girls play "League of Legends", then their boyfriends have a high probability of being brought into the pit; If a guy plays League of Legends, there is a small chance that their girlfriend will be taken into the pit.

Many players log in to the game to participate in the event on Valentine's Day, and even in major Internet cafes, you can occasionally meet couples who go black together.

……

At the Imperial Dynasty Mutual Entertainment Headquarters, Jin Jieguang's face is very ugly, not because he is a single dog, but because COG opened the public beta yesterday, and the data on the first day has come out.

Although the game was well received after its launch, and the rating has been maintained at around 8.8 points, allowing Jin Jieguang to see some light, the data on the first day poured a bucket of cold water on him.

The number of players logged in on the first day was 330,000, but the retention rate on the second day was only 43%.

If it's a mobile game, this next-day retention rate is not bad, but this is a PC game, and it's a free-to-play competitive game, so it can be said that this miserable next-day retention rate can only be described in three words: fail.

Such a next-day retention rate, let alone a big fire, is difficult to even maintain active players and ensure the fairness of the matchmaking system.

The data was a little too ugly for Jin Jieguang to know how to explain it to Lin Zhaoxu.

However, Jin Jieguang also has a vague feeling that COG is more likely to be one of the important reasons than "League of Legends", and the operation mode of RTS games is very likely to be one of the important reasons, but after all, there is no corresponding data support, and Jin Jieguang does not dare to assert it.

Lin Zhaoxu was relatively calm after learning about this data, and asked Jin Jieguang to check the background data to see which game node the players lost the most; At the same time, make a detailed questionnaire and send it to those COG churned players to do a detailed survey.

……

While Imperial Dynasty Entertainment is busy collecting players' feedback on COG, League of Legends' Valentine's Day activities continue to be hot.

On Valentine's Day, the number of concurrent online users in League of Legends reached 330,000, and considering that this is the first day of Valentine's Day, many couples are busy with other things, and this number actually has room to rise.

However, this data is enough to highlight the popularity of this game.

Experience the store.

Chen Mo was hesitating.

There is a new prop on the virtual screen of the bracelet: the Good Luck Generator, which Chen Mo just drew a few days ago, a total of ten, and the effect is very rebellious.

[Good Luck Generator: A magical device that can bring you good luck in most situations, and after using it, there is a half chance of getting good luck or bad luck for one day. If you get bad luck, you can turn it into good luck by completing the mission. 】

From the description of the prop, this feels like a prop that is sure to make a profit.

Chen Mo had already tried it once before, and he got good luck directly after using the good luck generator, Chen Mo "just happened" to open his mobile phone and flipped through Weibo, "just happened" to see Jin Jieguang's Weibo in the discovery column of Weibo, and "just happened" to turn to his authentication information and the selfie at the door of the experience store.

Otherwise, Chen Mo would not have deliberately gone to the first floor of the experience store to trick him.

After tasting the sweetness once, Chen Mo wanted to try again, but this prop has a cooldown time to use, so he can't use it often.

Today is February 14th, and the cooldown period for the item is over.

"Hey, it would be nice if this was a peach blossom generator. After using it, a certain chapter surnamed Gao Lengtian drank too much and came to the door, or suddenly an unknown beauty surnamed Wu sent a lot of art photos and selfies. Chen Mo said with emotion.

Putting away those unrealistic fantasies, Chen Mo used a good luck generator again.

But this time, the good luck icon that looked comfortable didn't appear, and after a puff of smoke effects, a bad luck icon appeared that was "possessed by the god of decay".

[Possessed by the declining god: Your luck value drops to a negative number, and eating instant noodles without a seasoning package is just a trivial matter. 】

"I'm a chaule!"

Chen Mo was stunned, saying that it was half the chance, it was really half the chance, why was this bad luck last time, bad luck this time?

Moreover, eating instant noodles without seasoning packets can only be regarded as a small meaning, so what is the medium meaning?

Chen Mo was a little panicked, even if it was other times, it would be a big deal not to go out, at most he would be choked when he swallowed foam or walked on the ground in the experience store and wrestled on the ground, etc., it would not be a big problem, but now is a critical period for the promotion of "League of Legends"!

What if there is a serious bug in the game? Strange fluctuations in the server? Or maybe some players are slashing at their teammates and making big news?

This is completely unacceptable to Chen Mo!

"Didn't you say that you can turn it into good luck by doing tasks, what about missions?"

Chen Mo hurriedly looked on the screen of the bracelet and saw that a system task had already appeared behind the [Decay God Possession] icon.

[System Mission (1/5): Arrive at the lobby on the first floor of the experience store.] Time Limit: 20 minutes】

"That's it? Too easy, right? Chen Mo let out a sigh, "Sure enough, I just said that the system still loves me, how can you trick me." ”

Chen Mo walked out of his studio and pushed the door.

"Tick." "Click."

The door won't open.

Chen Mo: "??? ”

What's going on?

Chen Mo's studio and his living area are together, and there is an anti-theft door from the work area of the experience store.

This anti-theft door is still a high-tech product, which can be unlocked with a password and fingerprint, Chen Mo didn't think much about it when he installed it, but he installed it when he saw that this door was more beautiful and forced, and he had no problems after using it for so long.

As a result, today, it can't be opened.

Originally, this door was unlocked through fingerprints and passwords on the outside, but there was a special button to open the door inside, but the door opening button seemed to be broken at a very timely time, and there was no response after pressing.

Chen Mo: "...... Holy, this is the beginning? ”
