Early the next morning, Zhao Haoyan happily came to the entrance of the Internet cafe and helped Lu Mingyuan move the table out, preparing to continue today's promotional activities.
Liu Bo and Lu Yixiao had also brought out various small gifts and started business.
In the past two days, they have seen the reputation and sales of "In My Eyes of You" and "Ordinary Life" rising all the way, and they are extremely happy.
As a member of 404 Studio, these two games will not only bring them considerable income, but will also make a mark on their resume.
While other students are still worried about their studies and employment in four years, they don’t have to worry about finding a job at all. They can just follow Lu Zhixing and make Studio 404 bigger and stronger. Isn’t it great?
Soon, everyone started to get busy.
But after being busy for a while, Lu Yixiao felt keenly that the flow of people seemed to have changed.
"What's going on? It feels like there are a lot less people than yesterday."
He turned to look at Lu Zhixing, who had just come down from the second floor of the Internet cafe.
"Brother Lu! Is the flow of people today less than yesterday? It's not my imagination, right?"
Lu Zhixing glanced around, thoughtfully: "Well...it seems to be less than yesterday. Today is Sunday, it shouldn't be.
"Old Zhao, go check out the Internet cafe on the corner."
Zhao Haoyan nodded immediately: "Okay, Brother Lu, I'll go right away."
He stretched out his long legs and ran to the door of Duan Lin's Internet cafe in three steps and two steps at a time, and quickly ran back.
"Brother Lu! That Internet cafe is also holding an event! And it's more powerful than us. Not only do you charge as much as you want, you get as much as you want, you also have the opportunity to draw free orders and draw various prizes!"
Liu Bo and Zhao Haoyan both looked stiff: "What do you mean, starting a price war? Does this count as disrupting the market order?"
Lu Zhixing was thoughtful: "The price war...if it's just a price war, it doesn't matter.
"The popularity of our Internet cafe comes from the popularity of "Ordinary Life", which has great staying power, while the other party's popularity comes from the advantage of low price, which is unsustainable. Duan Lin is not doing charity, he cannot sustain this kind of loss-making activity
Too long."
Zhao Haoyan asked: "Brother Lu, do we not have to do anything?"
Lu Zhixing shook his head slightly: "Don't worry, let me think about it.
"Duan Lin shouldn't be so stupid as to try to defeat us with such despicable means as price wars. Unless... he is cooperating with the college show column team to cover up their true methods..."
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. If you are an ordinary college student, you may be confused by the price war, but Lu Zhixing has seen a lot after all, and he unconsciously thought of a more serious possibility.
He quickly took out his mobile phone and quickly searched for relevant information on the Internet.
"Sure enough, they also have extra tricks.
"This is probably because someone hired a navy to attack "Ordinary Life"!"
The expressions of the other three people froze instantly, and they looked at each other:
They each took out their mobile phones to search for the keyword "ordinary life" and found that there were a lot of harsh voices in discussions on major platforms and forums.
After briefly looking through the comments of these trolls, the general rhetoric is nothing more than the following:
"Ordinary Life" has exquisite resources and empty skin, but it's not fun at all, so it doesn't deserve to be called a game!
"Ordinary Life" deliberately exposes the ugly side of reality, promotes negative values, and has a bad value orientation!
"Ordinary Life" does not have a clear core. Although it claims to reflect reality, it is not thought-provoking enough!
And so on and so forth.
In fact, players who have actually played "Ordinary Life" can see that these are more or less forced blackmail, but the voice of the navy is indeed very loud, which is very confusing to passers-by who do not know the truth.
And these trolls seem to be well-trained. They very smartly did not criticize or mention any other games. They just purely attacked "Ordinary Life", so it is very confusing.
Liu Bo couldn't help but take a breath of cold air: "Navy army? Not really. Is our little studio worth launching a navy army to deal with it? Who did it?"
As ordinary college students, when their games first became popular, they encountered such overwhelming attacks from trolls, which really made them feel a little at a loss.
Lu Zhixing looked at them: "Who else could have done it?"
Liu Bo and Lu Yixiao looked at each other and immediately thought of the answer: "College Show Column Team!"
It's not hard to guess.
Lu Zhixing had already formed a conflict with the high school show before. The welcome party he organized severely slapped the high school show in the face, and the shady stories he told about the high school show during the competition for people were also widely circulated.
It's just that at that time, even if the high school show wanted to attack him, he was unable to do anything, so he didn't make any moves for the time being.
But this time, "Ordinary Life" and the game of the same name as "High School Show" are in direct competition, and their offline activities are also tit-for-tat. Naturally, the people of "High School Show" can't sit still.
Liu Bo couldn't help but frown: "Are they trying to settle old and new grudges together? Changteng Entertainment is such a big company, and "High School Show" just announced the top 20 list yesterday. The whole network is hotly discussing whether to put down such a popular program.
You want to mobilize a navy to attack our newly established small studio, do you still want to show off?"
Lu Yixiao's expression was serious: "Maybe it's because we are a small studio that they are so unscrupulous? After all, they have seen that we are unable to fight back."
Zhao Haoyan put all the tables and chairs in place and joined the discussion: "Why don't we also buy trolls and scold them!"
Liu Bo couldn't help but laugh: "Go to fight with them hand-to-hand in the field they are best at? We don't have a navy army, so don't worry about looking for an outside navy army? Besides, we don't have any money."
Lu Yixiao also nodded: "Even if we ask the trolls to scold them, it doesn't make sense. Colleges and universities have shown so much negative publicity, and they have already become infested with lice. What's worse, if they cooperate with outside trolls, we will find them.
If we were caught by the navy and beaten, we would be in real trouble.
"After all, we don't have any concrete evidence yet to prove that these trolls were bought from college shows."
Liu Bo: "Yes, to put it bluntly, Shuijun is competing to see who has the lower limit. We can't compare to Changteng Entertainment in this regard."
Zhao Haoyan clenched his fists unconsciously: "Doesn't that mean we can't do anything and can only wait for them to discredit us?"
Lu Yixiao suddenly thought of an idea: "By the way, Brother Lu, how about you ask Professor He or Team Leader Zhou for help? They have connections and resources, and they may be able to solve this problem."
Lu Zhixing shook his head: "I planned to ask Team Leader Zhou for help, but the resources of the research team are used by other people. There is no need to go out and fight with the navy personally. The gain outweighs the loss.
“There is only one way to deal with these trolls, which is to remove the firepower from under the cauldron!
"If Changteng Entertainment is left to take care of itself, these navy forces will naturally cease to exist."
Everyone was a little confused: "Well, Brother Lu, what should we do specifically?"
Lu Zhixing said: "You should continue to hold activities, I will figure out a solution for this matter."
After saying that, he turned around and went to the second floor of the Internet cafe and locked himself in the room.
…
If it were other small studios, they would really have to suffer this dumb loss at this time.
After half a month or a month, the reputations of the two games "Ordinary Life" and "High School Show" have been fixed, and the truth will naturally be revealed to the world.
But that also plays into the enemy's hands.
For these capitals, their purpose is just to muddy the waters in the short term, so that they can get their money back quickly by cutting leeks, which is a one-shot deal.
In the long run, what about winning back the reputation of those excellent works? The capital has already patted their butts and ran away, leaving a lot of feathers on the ground.
Not to mention small companies, even some large companies that don't like to play dirty tricks will probably be helpless when encountering this kind of situation.
After all, this kind of bad moves is the lower limit. Capital can spend money to buy navy troops. That is because their production funds are very small. They can save money to buy navy troops and boost rankings. Companies at the same level spend money on
In terms of production funds, these crooked ways are naturally out of reach.
But just because others can't do anything, it doesn't mean that Lu Zhixing can't do anything.
Those conventional methods are not effective, but Lu Zhixing also has unconventional methods: he can try his luck and see if he can pick up useful life skills to break this seemingly unsolvable deadlock!
His previous points reached a maximum of nearly 1,400 points, but in the process of making the game, he also exchanged a lot of scraps necessary for the game, so he spent a lot, and now he only has 194 points left.
At present, the life skills lottery has reached 80 points each time, and these points are enough for him to draw twice.
Lu Zhixing's idea is very simple: try these two life skill lottery draws. Can you draw any skills that can change your life?
For example, if you acquire skills such as a high-level hacker and dig out more dirty information about "High School Show", wouldn't you be able to switch to Changteng Entertainment?
Of course, if you don't draw any useful skills twice, you can just pretend that nothing happened.
Take a deep breath and draw!
