Chapter 291: The Three Great Factions
Yan smiled and used the projector to type out a PPT slide.
"This picture shows the explosive growth of players in the game of Death and Reincarnation...... Because, after the initial players got some ways and channels to make money, the economic system of the Death Reincarnation game quickly linked to reality, and many players with ideas in the early days, after earning the first pot of gold, immediately invested in the purchase of consoles and organized their own game studios. ”
"At that time, the studio was probably just a studio for playing props, and at the same time obtained the information of the displacer, and through the familiar replacement, the props in the game were brought to reality to obtain benefits."
"They were the biggest consumers after console charges, and this period lasted about seven months, during which time the number of players in Dead Wheel games skyrocketed to ...... More than 1,400 people. ”
Su Peng looked at the PPT in front of him, and established a timeline of the game's development in his heart.
"In fact, according to the information provided by Li Mu before, his establishment of the studio should have been after the first wave of studios, and they also used second-generation consoles, something must have happened during this period."
Su Peng thought in his heart.
Sure enough, Yan Xiao in front finally talked about the key part.
"Next, what I want to talk about is the key place in the history of the development of the Death Reincarnation game, the division of the Immortal Residence."
"As I mentioned earlier, the players of the game started the first blowout after getting the channel to obtain monetary benefits in reality, and during this period, there were about 1,000 consoles flowing out of Qixian Ju."
"The uniform price of these 1,000 hosts is 200,000 euros, and because of the limited production, the price on the black market has been speculated to 400,000 euros to 600,000 euros."
"The profit of 200,000 euros for a unit, 1,000 units is 200 million euros, and this money is enough for many people."
"The founding team within Qi Xianju began to split because of interests. It was largely divided into three groups. ”
"The first group, which is the founder's own idea, wants to continue to implement the free mail model, charging the cost of the game console at most, this faction has the smallest number of people, except for the game developer himself, only two people support, this faction is called the idealist."
"The second group is advocating the establishment of a company to raise the price of game consoles. Carry out a certain amount of console monopoly sales, and expand part of the game content, and set up Qi Xianju's own studio, which is the second group, also known as the neutral group. ”
"The third group is the most radical group, they propose that since the game is made by Qi Xianju, they should freeze the outflow of consoles, and then take all the console resources into their own hands, and use the resources to concentrate on starting a game organization in the form of a company. Monopolizing all the money in the real world of the game box, this group is the most ambitious, and it is also the largest of the three groups, known as the radical group. ”
"And it was mentioned before. The reason why the game can be made is because of the mysterious inheritance technique that the founder obtained in Europe, but at that time, the founder did not have his own financial support. Rather, it is supported by the big European plutocracy. ”
"Some of the technical members of this chaebol are the people of the founding team of Qi Xianju, they. Most of them are radical entrants. ”
"These people secretly planned, orchestrated a violent operation, used the financial resources and connections of European conglomerates, hired armed elements, intended to kidnap the founder, and coerced the neutral group."
"However, although the members of the Idealist faction are the least, they have mastered the core skills of the game, and the three members of the Idealism are all powerful players, and their martial arts development has reached an extremely high level, and the actions of the radicals have failed."
"The Centrists, on the other hand, were informed of the violence in advance because of the presence of some of their friends and sympathizers among the radicals, and the Neutrals fled en masse before the armed action, and the Radicals did not coerce them."
"However, the radicals have obtained a large number of finished hosts, as well as some materials and technicians for special production hosts."
"After the neutrals fled, they also established an organization, which continued the previous title, which is the Qi Xianju that everyone is familiar with now, and they also have the skills to make the main machine."
"The radicals, having acquired a large number of technicians and production materials, formed their envisioned monopoly, which has different names around the world, but the head office is simply called the N.E.T."
"The three members of the founding team, one is the founder who has mastered the equivalent of the source code of the game, one is the first displacer in the game, and the other is the first strongest person in the game at that time, these three people are missing.
"And I, it was during this period that the neutral faction absorbed members, and entered the Immortal Residence."
Yan Xiao finally told this history.
When Su Peng heard this, he couldn't help but feel shocked in his heart.
"If what she says is true...... Then I, Li Mu and the others, should have obtained the host from Xinqi Xianju, that is, the neutral faction, and the Tianyi Studio where I work should be the radical faction, or the company under the N.E.T organization...... Shi Qianjun, as well as the man in black killer, should all be members of that organization. ”
Su Peng thought in his heart that he finally had a certain understanding of the background of the game company.
"Let's look at the PPT, this chart is the development of several factions in the Origin Immortal Residence."
"First of all, idealistic. In the hands of the founder, there is the core secret of the game...... It can be called a Death Cycle game
The technique of 'source code', all major changes in the game, such as the fact that everyone can directly improve the level of martial arts with actual combat experience, this setting is completed through the source code, which is the exclusive technique of the idealistic school. ”
"The neutral team, on the other hand, controls some of the derivative code, and their technical power cannot be compared with that of the idealists, but they can make some patch changes, which is the neutral team, which produces the second-generation console...... This generation of consoles, as long as there is a language patch, no matter which language the user uses, it will not affect the game. ”
"The radicals, the N.E.T., have the strongest force, but the weakest core skills, and they can't even make any changes to the game, they can only do some external disguises, but they have the most raw materials for making game consoles...... It is worth mentioning that to make a game console, a special material is required. This material is not something that can be purchased with money, so the N.E.T company has the most finished hosts, and the skills and technicians who make a generation of consoles, but they do not have the ability to upgrade the hosts, nor do they have the skills to refine the special materials for the manufacture of the hosts, while the neutrals and the founders have this kind of technology, and the N.E.T organizes their materials, which can allow them to have up to 3,000 consoles. ”
"Since the split of the Qi Xianju, the supply of the main engine has become scarce. Because the host of N.E.T. is not outflowing, only Qi Xianju provides the main machine, because the speed of refining special materials is limited, Qi Xianju will sell a limited number of 300 hosts every year...... Of course, the actual outflow figure is slightly higher than this number, and the price of the host has also been speculated to $100 million per unit. ”
"This lasted for about a year and a half, until less than three years ago, the new Qi Immortal Residence produced a breakthrough in technology. As a result, the consumables for the main engine have been reduced, and in this way, their production has more than doubled to about 700 units per year. The price of the host also fell, and finally stabilized at 20 million US dollars, or 100 million yuan per unit. ”
"Now, the studio of the Dead Wheel game and casual players. It's about 3,000 to 4,500 people, and because of the hostility and opacity of the monopoly capital that N.E.T carries, it is impossible to count the number of players in N.E.T. But guessing that there should be more than 3,000 people, the total number of players in the Death Reincarnation game is about 8,000. ”
"The above is the history of the development of the Death Cycle game."
Yan Xiao finally finished the explanation, and the projector also showed the end of the first part.
After Su Peng heard this, he was shocked for a long time and couldn't calm down.
"There are so many people playing in the game of Death and Reincarnation?"
"Yes...... This is indeed about the same, the world in the Death Reincarnation game, compared to the current territory of the Chinese Republic, is much larger, it is said that there are also maps such as overseas and the Western Regions, 8,000 people are scattered, and it is not obvious at all, not to mention, most of the players are born in the form of an organization near a specific city, so it is understandable that they are not common with each other. ”
In Su Peng's heart, he understood the question that he always couldn't see other players.
At this time, Yan Xiao adjusted the controller on the rostrum and said: "Now it's time to ask questions, if you have any questions about the Death Reincarnation game, you can raise your hand to ask me questions, each person can only ask one question, but because of the conference arrangement, I will only answer three questions, please grasp it." ”
"Me! I! ”
Hearing Yan Xiao's words, the people below immediately raised their hands, and Yan Xiao casually nodded a young man in his twenties.
"May I ask Miss Yan Xiao, do you know what the founder of the Death Reincarnation Game is called? He's amazing at making this game! ”
The young man who asked the question smiled at Yan.
"This question, I can't answer it, everyone knows that I am a neutral faction, that is, a member of Xinqi Xianju, Xinqi Xianju is different from N.ET, it is a tribute to the founder, only because of the difference in philosophy to parting ways, there are internal regulations in Xinqi Xianju, to provide protection and convenience for the founder as much as possible, so your question, I can't answer it."
Yan Xiao said, and a dissatisfied voice suddenly sounded below, but Yan Xiao was unmoved, and said, "Next, the sister over there." ”
This time, it was a little girl in her early twenties, although she was not very old, but she looked calm, she stood up and asked, "What I want to ask is, in the Death Cycle game, there are Treasure Society and Replacement Guild, which of the three factions controls these two organizations?" ”
"This, I can only partially answer, yes and no."
Yan Xiao lifted his glasses and said: "The Treasure Club and the Displacer Guild, at the beginning, Xinqi Xianju wanted to organize two guilds, but unfortunately, a large part of the players of the Death Reincarnation game did not obey this call, and the current Treasure Club and the Displacer Association are basically organizations formed spontaneously by players, but it may be reasonable for a big studio behind it, of course, some of the elders of Xinqi Xianju also participated, but it is not the so-called boss behind the scenes, at most it can only be regarded as a shareholding." ”
"Oh, that's right." The girl nodded and sat down.
Yan Xiao looked at it, and his eyes suddenly noticed Su Peng who was doing it behind, and Su Peng also raised his hand at this time.
"The gentleman in the middle of the seventh row, please ask a question!" Yan Xiao looked at Su Peng and said to him...... (To be continued......)
