TVs in homes across the country played "Unforgettable Tonight" sung by teacher Li Guyi, announcing the end of the Spring Festival Gala.
In a duplex commercial building in Guangzhou, Xiao Qi walked to the computer room while chewing a piece of Wangwang snow cake.
As in previous years, we celebrated the New Year at grandma's house, and as in previous years, the whole family played two tables of mahjong. He didn't have to do it, but it was just as he wanted, and he could play on the computer.
More than a month has passed since he went to an Internet cafe and played the "Three Kingdoms" web game on QQ space on his day off. He has become accustomed to playing games as soon as midnight every day to complete his daily tasks.
During this time, he played web games and found that web games are really convenient and do not require much energy and time compared to client games.
When I'm at work, I just hang it up on my computer, and when I'm done working, I can switch and take a look, just click on it, and the whole process of fighting or whatever happens automatically.
There is no technical content in the operation, all that is required is the accumulation of daily props and the luck of getting critical hits in fights.
Many people disdain this kind of game because it has no operational experience and even calls it a garbage game.
He was noncommittal about this. If he had been in college before and had a lot of time to waste, he might not be able to play this kind of game.
But for him now, he doesn't have much free time due to work, and found that this kind of game is really good, and it is simply a tailor-made entertainment method for office workers like them who love to play games.
Although there are many modules for recharging the game, the monthly recharge limit ensures the balance of the game to a certain extent.
This is completely different from those PC games on the market that offer unlimited recharging. In those PC games, any player with some experience will know that no matter how hard they play, they can't beat the rich.
Therefore, civilian players rarely recharge.
But in these three browser games, ordinary players can defeat the wealthy by relying on luck.
These three web games have a common game mechanism. For all enhanced combat power modules, the higher the level of enhancement or advancement, the higher the failure rate.
It is such a mechanism. Some lucky players found out after playing that they only recharged a few hundred yuan and accumulated the combat progress provided by the props for a month, and they were actually as good as rich people who had recharged more than 2,000 yuan.
The combat power is almost the same.
This is fun, the local tycoons mmp, the micro-Kryptonians are all smiles.
This situation also stimulates the desire of civilian players to recharge.
Of course, the wealthy players are a little unhappy.
On the official WeChat account of the game, he sees many wealthy players scolding their mothers every day, saying it is unfair, and saying they want to give up the game.
But not many people give up on gaming. The recharge module is refreshed this month, and recharging the Krypton to the fullest will widen the gap with Weikrypton and the Kuomintang.
Many netizens who specialize in game modes lamented: The developers of this web game have seen through the hearts of the people and not only grasped the needs of ordinary players, but also the needs of wealthy players.
Indeed, he was also one of the players with a full krypton degree. Seeing the micro krypton party slowly catching up, he felt unhappy.
However, seeing the players being very passionate every day and determined to defeat these "tycoons", he found it very fun and exciting.
It was such a situation where both ordinary players and rich players were passionate. As this day passed until today, he had witnessed with his own eyes the popularity of the three web games in QQ space.
Nowadays, major gaming forums, Tieba forums and gaming influencers from Weibo share their gaming experiences and updates every day.
Although it is not as popular as a hot search, the amount of discussion every day is also very hot.
"Everyone! Click the link in the game email to receive the New Year gift package!"
Xiao Qi turned on the computer and logged in to QQ, opened the game country player QQ group, and saw the heated discussion among friends in the group.
"This gift pack is amazing! A full set of strengthening and advancement stones each contains 88! There is a lucky bag to draw equipment! There is also a lucky card to draw recharge discounts!"
"Fuck, where is it?"
"There is a link in the email, which everyone should have, and the official New Year greetings."
"Brothers, have you seen it? There are so many games on this Longyou website! The "Hot-Blooded Three Kingdoms" we played is also there!"
“There are a lot of activities! This platform is awesome!”
"I heard that this is the "Hot-Blooded Three Kingdoms" launched by Longyou. Is this the real official platform?"
"..."
Xiao Qi was very surprised. He couldn't understand what was being discussed in the group.
New Year gift package? Longyou website? Many games? Many activities?
With full curiosity, Xiao Qi opened QQ space and then opened the "Hot-Blooded Three Kingdoms" web game.
After the game interface was loaded, the game's main interface was displayed, and a red exclamation point appeared on the mail icon, indicating that a mail had been sent.
Click on the email - [Raise your wishful sails and sail to the harbor of the Year of the Rat; Grab the warm sunshine and start the auspiciousness of the Year of the Rat; Look for the treasures of life and continue the laughter of the Year of the Rat; Park on the shore of happiness and welcome the Year of the Rat.
The splendor of the year.
The Year of the Rat is here, Happy New Year!
May your dreams come true and everything goes well!
Click the link below to reap the blessings of the Year of the Rat!】
There was a link below the blessing, and Xiao Qi clicked on it out of curiosity.
The web page starts to jump, and the browser automatically loads a new website.
Within a few seconds, a brand new website came into view.
"Damn, there are so many games!" Xiao Qi exclaimed. His friends in the group were not lying. In addition to the three games in QQ space, there are also a dozen new games that have never been seen before on the website.
.
For him who loves to play games, he was very excited instantly.
But he did not click [Enter Game] under the game icon, but first prepared to see what other novelties this website had.
"There's really a big New Year gift pack." He saw the gift pack section, and all the games on the website had a gift pack.
In line with the mentality of not giving up for free, he collected them all one by one, and a prompt box popped up every time he received it——
[Except for the gift pack codes of "Three Kingdoms", "The Way of the Immortal" and "Primordial Cultivation", which are universal across all platforms, the other game gift pack codes are only available for games on this platform. 】
"There is also a daily lottery." He saw the lottery section and clicked the lottery button but was prompted to log in.
"Hey, you can log in with a Weiyu account, which is convenient." He clicked on the login and liked the method of logging in with a Weiyu account, which saved the trouble of registering a new user.
"A 6-yuan recharge coupon?" He returned to the lottery area to draw a lottery and got a six-yuan recharge coupon. However, this was the first time he encountered this kind of reward, which made him feel happy and novel but also doubtful.
He ignored it for the time being and continued to watch another lottery event, which included Taobao coupons, mobile phones and other physical rewards.
"Really or not?" He muttered. The rules of the activity are to play games on this platform for 30 minutes and 60 minutes every day, and you can draw two draws every day.
It's not difficult to meet the lottery conditions, just hang up for enough time when he wants to.
"Recharge rebate coupon." He saw another rebate activity.
"A single recharge of 100 will get you 20, a recharge of 1,000 will get you 300... The event lasts for one month, damn!" He slapped his thigh and complained: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I can get back the more than 2,000 yuan I recharged last month.
It’s more than 600!”
There is a reminder for the rebate activity: ["Three Kingdoms", "The Way of the Immortals" and "Primordial Cultivation" are temporarily unable to participate in the rebate activity. ]
"Unable to participate? Is it because all platforms are connected to the server?" He raised an eyebrow when he saw this prompt, but he felt better. Otherwise, other platforms would not have rebates for recharges, but this platform would, which would leave other platforms
People feel very sad.
The QQ group kept flashing, Xiao Qi clicked on it and took a look.
"Brothers, I'm sorry. This platform has too many benefits. I want to change games. I just got a 200 yuan recharge coupon. I think I can become a rich man again. See you again."
"I've also changed my travels, are you with me?"
"It must be changed, this platform can be traded!"
"What deal?"
"Game ingots can be sold for money!"
As soon as these words came out, the night owls in the group immediately went crazy.
"Really? Can you sell it for money?"
"Where? Why didn't I see it?"
"Can Yuan Bao be sold for money? Don't deceive me."
"Why are you lying to me? It's in the trading area in the upper left corner of the website. If you don't believe me, check it out for yourself."
"..."
Xiao Qi was shocked. Can game ingots be sold for money? Isn't this equivalent to exchanging game currency for RMB?
He had only heard of this kind of thing when playing PC games, and it was an offline transaction in the same city. So online banking transactions promoted by personal accounts in any game are all scams, and whoever believes them will be stupid.
Can such a simple web game also trade game currency? How to realize the transaction process?
Xiao Qi was curious and looking forward to it. He switched back to the website and found the upper left corner of the website that his friends in the group mentioned. Sure enough, there was a trading area that he had ignored. The main reason was that this module had never been seen before. When he first saw it, he didn’t know what it was for, so he went directly
Skipped.
The trading area module is opened and the new website jumps out.
On the website, the various option boxes appear very complicated.
Before he could take a few more glances, a scrolling message surprised him.
"Three Kingdoms" 173 servers, 500 Yuanbao = 100 Yuan, the transaction was successful.
"Real or fake!" Xiao Qi was shocked. 500 Yuanbao is 100 Yuan? Then the thousands of Yuanbao in his account must be several hundred Yuan larger.
But, is this true? How is this deal done?
He glanced at the page and found the transaction instructions using 100 Yuanbao as an example——
[1. Sellers publish sales information on the website and wait for buyers to contact them.
2. The buyer places a junk prop in the game's own trading market and sells it for 100 Yuanbao.
3. The seller spends 100 Yuanbao to purchase this item through the trading market.
4. Both parties will send screenshots to customer service. After confirming that the game data is correct through the backend, customer service will transfer the amount of ingot purchased by the buyer on the website to the seller’s corresponding Alipay, and deduct a 10% handling fee.]
"So that's it." Xiao Qi understood and praised the platform's cleverness. This idea can indeed achieve fast online transactions. This idea is quite magical.
He opened the QQ group and took a look.
“If this platform is not popular, I’ll give a crap! It’s so awesome!”
"It's really cool. The recharge limit lottery and rebate activities are very attractive to the micro-Krypton and the medium-Krypton parties. The ability to trade game currency is simply good news for the People's Party who can make extra money. With these people here, the local tycoons
We have an atmosphere of pretentiousness.”
"It's awesome. I switched to this website. Compared with this website, other platforms are just garbage."
"Where is the organization? If you are traveling, take me with you. You will have more time during the Chinese New Year to have fun and relax."
"..."
When Xiao Qi saw the news in the group, he also had the idea of quitting gaming and switched from QQ space to Longyou platform to play games.
It is true as they said, the benefits of this Longyou platform are so good, each one is more novel and more amazing than the last one.
"'Three Kingdoms' is connected to servers across all platforms. You can sell game currency even if you don't have an account on the Longyou platform." He muttered.
"Let's see how other games are doing first, and then decide whether to sell the game currency exchange platform." He made a decision.
The more than ten games on the website were very new, and he wanted to understand the content of the platform first, so he did not try to play them immediately.
Just when he was about to try playing a game, the [Invite Newcomers and Win Prizes] module next to the trading area module attracted him again.
He clicked on it and looked at it - [Invite new users to register a Longyou account (Weiyu accounts that have not logged into the Longyou platform are also included).
Invited users can rebate 10% of any recharge amount on this platform to your Longyou account, which can be withdrawn to the Alipay account bound to the Longyou account at any time, and can be withdrawn from the Alipay account to a bank card at any time.
When the number of invited users reaches 500, the rebate share increases to 15%.
When the number of invited users reaches 1,000, the rebate share increases to 20%...
When the number of invited users reaches 5,000, you can contact customer service for communication. Longyou officials will support the inviters to establish a game guild, help the inviters build a team, cultivate voice customer service, game command and other matters.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If you have a dream in your heart, this activity of Longyou is your best choice.】
Xiao Qi blinked, isn't this just inviting people to play games?
This was the first time he had seen this kind of recruiting activity, and he had never heard of it being possible to play like this before.
This Longyou platform is really creative, and every activity and module is so novel.
Just, 500 people? 1,000 people?
This number frightened him, and he thought it was something he couldn't accomplish.
As for when 5,000 people can receive official support, and this series of support is made as if they are helping you start a business, this seems even further away from him as a wage earner.
Xiao Qi just took a look and didn't think this activity would be of any help to him in playing games. The main reason was that this kind of activity was too new and there was no known experience to learn from.
However, when the invited user successfully logs in, the new user will get a chance to win the quota wheel lottery.
"Then this invitation is of some use." Xiao Qi commented.
In addition, there is also his exclusive invitation link, and it is also accompanied by copywriting - [Longyou Game Platform is launched, a variety of different types of web games with different gameplay will welcome the New Year with you...]
The most important thing is that there is an official reminder below: [You can conduct independent publicity through QQ Space, QQ Group, Weiyu, Tieba and other major social networking sites.]
"Eh? That's right. If you click on the link and log in, it will be a successful invitation, so can I just send the link out casually?" Xiao Qi found the trick.
With the intention of giving it a try, he copied the link with the copy, randomly selected a few game groups on QQ, pasted the content and sent it in.
He used to just discuss games with others in the group, but this was the first time he did such a thing for publicity.
Afraid of being scolded by his group friends, he did not dare to read the follow-up feedback in the group and returned to the Longyou website.
He didn't have high expectations for this matter, he just wanted to have fun and see.
He did not forget that the most important thing at the moment was to see if any of the many new games on this website suited his taste.
If so, he would sell the game currency for money, get back as much as he could, and then switch from the QQ space game area to the Longyou platform to play games.
With this in mind, Xiao Qi began to try out the games on the platform one by one, and his ears were filled with the mixed sound of the games and his family playing mahjong.
I don’t know how long it took, but he tried playing many games, and when he found his favorite role-playing national war game, he couldn’t stop playing it.
The style of this game is similar to that of Legend. You can fight in real time, fight anytime and anywhere outside the safe zone, and you can also explode equipment, which is quite exciting.
And he played a number of games and found that they also had one thing in common, that is, each game has a cap on the fund recharge of each module every month.
The same fund can only be recharged once a month. If you want to recharge again, you have to wait until the next month. When all funds are recharged, there will be no recharge entrance in this month.
Sure enough, it was an official platform, and its games always ensured a certain balance in the game, which made him very fond of it.
Moreover, he found that every game he tried to play had a lot of people playing it.
This platform didn’t exist before. People in the support group said it was online only at midnight. Why are there so many people?
After looking at the game chat area, he learned that there is an entrance to the Longyou platform on Weiyu, and that players in all three games on the platform have received official jump links to receive gift packages.
"No wonder there are so many people there in such a short time." Xiao Qi understood.
"Dong dong dong!" I knocked heavily on the open door: "Hurry up and go to bed, it's already dawn!"
Xiao Qi looked back in shock, only to realize that the sky had turned dim before he knew it, and it was already seven o'clock in the morning.
"Okay, now." He quit the game and prepared to sleep.
As for the matter of selling game currency, he was not in a hurry, and decided to take care of it after sleeping.
He stood up, stretched and yawned.
Just when he was about to go back to bed, he remembered the [Invite Newcomers to Win Prizes] and clicked randomly to see what happened.
However, when the new website was launched, he was stunned: "Real or false!!"
He said these four words countless times throughout the night.
But when I said it again, my words were very shocked.
The website shows the number of people invited: 268 people.
The rebate amount is shown below: 1128 yuan.
Xiao Qi was shocked and confused, "I didn't do anything, but I made more than 1,000 yuan by sitting all night?"
When he came back to his senses, he was very suspicious of this situation, but his heart was also full of hope.
He hurriedly opened the personal page of Longyou's account, and the account funds indeed showed: 1,128 yuan, which made him excited.
He clicked to cash out Alipay, and after some operations, he jumped to the Alipay website and logged in. His Alipay balance also increased by 1,128 yuan.
With slightly trembling hands, he clicked to withdraw cash to his bank card...
Maybe the business was busy during the Chinese New Year, so the bank information was a little slow to arrive.
Xiao Qi waited and waited. It took several minutes before he received a text message from the bank, saying that 1,128 yuan had been withdrawn from Alipay.
"This is true!!" His eyes widened.
Tonight, I discovered the Longyou platform, various games, functional modules and welfare activities. The novelty and surprise brought to Xiao Qi were far less shocking than this text message.
After living for more than twenty years, Xiao Qi suddenly discovered that making money can be so simple?
Xiao Qi stared at the text message on his phone. He was motionless, a little confused, unbelievable and as if he was dreaming.
One link, posted to several groups, took less than ten seconds, and earned more than 1,000 yuan, which is equivalent to one week's salary?
Who believes this?
But it’s true!
Such a fantasy happened to him, which made him a little confused.
Xiao Qi shook his head, and his first thought was: Sleep? Sleep like a mao!!
Xiao Qi sat back on the chair in front of the computer, and his second thought was: As a programmer developing software projects, I know a concept that many people are not aware of, that is, anything new has timeliness, and once it becomes outdated, you will miss a lot.
Chance.
He started his work, frantically dumping links on major social platforms.
A man named Lei once said that a pig can take off if it stands on the wind.
Just like the founder of hao123, he originally created this portal just to test technology and have fun. He never thought about how much money he could make using it.
When the website gained a lot of users, it was discovered that advertisers would really send money to your doorstep, and in large amounts. As the founder, he never imagined that he would become what he is today.
Just like the founder of Tianya Forum, he originally created this social platform just to provide convenience to the majority of netizens. He never thought about making a lot of money. He even used his own money or netizens to raise money to run the forum on several occasions.
But when the forum developed, the founding team, who were still living in a rental house, received tens of millions of dollars in financing as if from heaven.
The fortune-making process of some Internet capital companies today is inconceivable to them and completely unexpected.
It can only be said that they have all grasped their own opportunities and opened a skylight in their lives.
The same is true for Xiao Qi. The trend launched by the Longyou platform made him one of the first to eat crabs.
Like him, there are people all over the country on this night.
Xiao Qi stayed up all night with several groups, which brought hundreds of traffic to the Longyou platform.
In this era when games do not yet use link promotion methods, what about a hundred people like him? What about eleven million people? How many users can it bring to the Longyou platform?
The Longyou platform has only been online for a few hours, but at this moment it seems to be unstoppable.
