Rebirth of the big era of online games

Chapter 13 I am learning from this
After Xia Hao left, Fang Jie returned to the Internet cafe and asked Li Qing about the current game flow.

In addition to yesterday's, the current turnover has exceeded the 1 yuan mark, and people come to recharge from time to time.

Fang Jie made a calculation and estimated that if the number of players can keep 600 players online, it should not be a problem if the daily turnover reaches 2.

It is normal for 3 or 4 local tyrants who recharge tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions to pop up in a game server in the future, but now the proportion of local tyrants is even higher.

As long as the game can maintain enough popularity and continue to expand the gameplay, they can be retained to continue to recharge and play.

In addition, MUD games open more accounts. Many local tyrants have several accounts at the same time, and each account chooses a martial arts school they like to level up, which intensifies the consumption of game resources.

Hmm... Are you going to take out the team dungeon?
Another routine popped up in Fang Jie's mind.

But after thinking for a while, the idea was temporarily dismissed.

Even if the number of people online in the game includes those who hang up offline, the total is only close to 200. It is not suitable for such a small number of people to do team dungeons. If the popularity is not enough, it is easy to create a dungeon and become a tasteless game. Mature.

He now has too many ways to make money and how to play games. Unfortunately, due to the hardware and software conditions, many ideas cannot be realized for the time being.

What is needed now is to let the "bullets fly for a while". If 1 or 2 gameplay systems are added every day, players will not have time to digest them.

The so-called "half a step ahead of the times is a genius, and one step is a lunatic", the blueprint in his heart may have exceeded a dozen steps, and he is almost an alien. If some things are taken out in advance, they may not be accepted by the times, but they should be played steadily. Better.

Thinking of this, Fang Jie didn't think about it. He still got the MUD page game program out first.

For the next week, Fang Jie didn't update the game any more. He wrote a page game program during the day, and invited Li Qing out for a walk and chat at night. He lived happily.

During this period, under his planning request, Li Yi had already completed the client macro button interface.

These macro buttons almost include most of the game function combination instructions in the game, and even help players to write plug-in function script buttons such as automatic exercises, automatic tasks, and one-key offline hang-up.

However, Fang Jie did not release it immediately, but instructed Li Yi to create an independent client program, which packaged all the data files such as maps, props, and NPCs that were originally on the server side into this independent client.

In layman's terms, like future online games, most of the game operations are performed on the player's own computer client, while the server side is mainly used to exchange and process data and control key game files.

Originally, the MUD game server-side file had more than 200M, and players only needed to download a 4-6M ZMUD client to play the game. Now this independent client has become more than 200M, and the server side has been reduced to more than 60M. .

The advantage of doing this is that it further reduces the load on the server, improves the performance of the server, greatly breaks through the bottleneck of the number of players online at the same time, and saves costs.

The downside is that it gives players room to exploit the loopholes, and can read or even modify the relevant data, making it into a plug-in or packet data to deceive the server, so as to achieve the effect of cheating.

This is the reason why many games in the later generations cannot escape the harm of cheats, especially the FPS No. 1 shootout games that have very high data processing requirements, and it is almost impossible to seal the cheats.

However, in 2000, everyone still didn't know what "plug-in" was. The MUD game client itself had a plug-in robot script, so Fang Jie didn't worry about someone modifying the data or something.

Stepping back [-] steps, even if someone dares to modify the data or something, Fang Jie has countless ways to find out the problem and seal the loophole.

You must know that he is a master of plug-in himself. When playing games in his previous life, he often made a plug-in to pretend to be a force for himself. In this regard, he is a professional level, and it is not easy to take advantage of him.

The time comes to the eighth day of the new year.

The annual leave has passed, and today is the official start date for state-owned enterprise employees. Originally, they went to work on the sixth day of the first lunar month, but the eighth and ninth day of the lunar month were weekends.

Early in the morning, Fang Jie, Li Qing, Li Yi, and Xia Hao packed a taxi and headed straight to the provincial capital.

A week before, Fang Jie's bank card had reached more than 8 yuan, and the average daily turnover was almost 1 yuan. The cost of chartering a car to the provincial capital was nothing at all.

As soon as he got off the expressway in the provincial capital, Li Yi got off the car with a salute and was about to turn to the train station. He had to return to Beijing University to study.

"The password is Li Qing's birthday."

When they parted, Fang Jie handed a new bank card to Li Yi: "There is only 5000 yuan in it, and I promised to give you 10%, but recently there are more places where I need to spend money. I'll give you a part, and I'll supply you later."

Li Yi took over the bank card, and Fang Jie was a little dissatisfied with what he said: "What is only 5000 yuan? My tuition fee is only 5000 a year! This money is enough, and the rest is enough."

"Brother, clear the account." Fang Jie smiled, "Favors are favors, and work is work. Since you deserve it, don't take it too much. You have to help me continue to develop the game in the next year."

Li Yi looked at Fang Jie with a complicated expression: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe that you made tens of thousands of dollars in a week. But I have reservations about your game concept, so I can help you get it right. This game is the biggest stain in my life!"

Fang Jie laughed, and finally patted the other person on the shoulder and said: "You are too literate, put away your ridiculous Don Quixote-style ideas. Only with money can real ideals be realized, otherwise it is just fantasy and Empty talk. Now that the internet fee is so expensive, we are actually helping players save money, and players are having a good time, this is not as bad as you think."

Li Yi sighed and did not want to speak.

He also understands the reasoning, but the three views that he has insisted on for a long time are shattered too quickly, and he can't accept it for a while.

"I hope you're right."

After catching Fang Jie into the car, Li Yi waved through the car window and said, "See you in the summer vacation. If you have any development tasks in the future, please leave a message to me on QQ."

When the car started, Fang Jie stuck his head out, smiled and said something meaningful to the window: "How about I get a chat software like QQ in the future? I have already thought about the name. Abbreviation: YY."

After Li Yi was overwhelmed, he shouted angrily towards Fang Jie, who was gradually moving away: "Shameless! Poisonous tumor! Shit stick! You are plagiarizing!"

"Hahahahaha..." Fang Jie's laughter came from afar.

"Plagiarism is not good."

In the car, Li Qing, who was sitting in the back row with Fang Jie, couldn't help but muttered, as if she didn't want her boyfriend to be a person with corrupt personalities.

Fang Jie couldn't help but smile, lay down on the other's lap, raised his eyes and smiled at him: "Our country is still very backward, and now we have to learn from all aspects... Shanzhai imitates foreign advanced technology and products, this is a must The way I go. I also follow the flow..."

Li Qing fiddled with Fang Jie's bangs: "But I always feel a little immoral."

Xia Hao, who was sitting in the co-pilot, turned his head and wanted to speak, but his eyes were irritated by the scene in front of him. He quickly turned his head again and said in a muffled voice, "Talking about morality with foreign countries? Don't forget the modern history of our country..."

Well, the term "angry youth" has just emerged in this era, and it's a compliment term. Many young people are proud of it. Xia Hao is a typical angry youth.

Although Fang Jie did not have the mentality of an angry youth, he also smiled inexplicably: "Yes, this is what they owe us, and we have to pay it back. The so-called 30-year river, maybe 30 years later, foreign countries will learn from us in turn. "

"No?" Li Qing and Xia Hao said in unison.

"Well..." Fang Jie suddenly thought of himself, and couldn't help but say: "With me here, maybe it won't be 20 years..."

Xia Hao laughed: "Hahaha, you pretend to be a bit big. I believe you are a ghost!"

Li Qing frowned and reprimanded: "Xia Hao, be careful when you speak!"

"Okay, I was wrong, my sister-in-law taught me the right thing."

Xia Hao is one year younger than Fang Jie, and it's okay to call her sister-in-law Li Qing.

In fact, since elementary school, Fang Jie was basically the oldest student in the class.

This matter is related to his father Fang Wanxing.

In the 80s, the state strictly stipulated that children must be 7 years old to go to primary school. However, many parents did not take this national regulation seriously and let their children enter the school after opening the back door, such as Xia Hao and Li Qing.

Fang Jie was born in June, and the school starts in September. Fang Wanxing has a traditional ideology and is a cadre of a state-owned enterprise. The influence of filming is not good, and he needs to lead by example, so Fang Jie was forced to go to primary school when he was 6 and a half years old and almost 9 years old. .

As a result, all the classmates in the class regard Fang Jie as their eldest brother, especially the girls in the class in junior high school. Even the more beautiful ones recognized him as their eldest brother... After all, everyone knew that Li Qing was the "main room". So you can only ask for the next best thing.

There are thirteen god sisters in total. Because the Hong Kong and Taiwan TV series "Young and Dangerous" was popular at that time, a thirteen sister came directly.

The No. 13 godsister is Zhang Yan who went to the art school and became the head sister. If this thirteenth sister hadn't been a mediator among them, Li Qing might have been in trouble during the three years in the art school.

Thinking of these things, Fang Jie felt amused. If he was reborn in junior high school, it might be more fun.

The memory was interrupted by Xia Hao: "Should we go to the computer city first, or go to the store?"

"Go to the store."

After Fang Jie responded, he sat up and said to the driver, "Master, go to Jiangcheng University of Technology."

His future plan is to be admitted to this 211 university. This year, it will merge with two other two universities and officially change its name to Jiangcheng University of Science and Technology. Its current majors are mainly materials, automobiles, ships, and industrial design.

Since you want to open an Internet cafe, of course, find a place nearby.

The driver said: "Then you have to pay extra. I was only responsible for sending you to the toll booth."

"No problem, add 20 yuan." Fang Jie smiled indifferently.

"Are you college students?"

The driver had been very talkative along the way, and now the topic started again.

Xia Hao and Li Qing, who were only in secondary school, suddenly looked embarrassed and didn't feel embarrassed to talk to each other.

Fang Jie said without blushing, "Yes, yes."

The driver said in surprise: "I heard that it seems to be a key university!"

"Ah."

After Fang Jie snorted, he didn't want to continue the topic, and instead asked, "Master, how is your daily income as a taxi driver?"

"Tongcheng can't do it, there are not many people who have money to take a taxi."

The driver sighed and said again: "But I heard that the taxi drivers in the provincial capital have a good income. If it is their own car, the husband and wife work in two shifts, and they can earn more than 1 yuan a month if they work together. ."

"Fuck, more than 1 yuan? High salary!" Xia Hao couldn't help shouting.

You must know that the era of ten thousand yuan households has just ended, and it turns out that this renter can earn ten thousand yuan a month. How can it not be surprising?
The driver Yu Yourong said: "Well, it's considered a white-collar worker among white-collar workers. But it's quite hard work, and I'm talking about my own car. There are only so many days and night shifts combined. After deducting the cost, the net profit is only 5000."

"That's a lot..."

Li Qing couldn't help but sigh, her parents' monthly salary is 600.

Fang Jie touched his chin and thought.

Is it too early to consider the Internet + industry?
It took 15 years for online car-hailing to appear. With the current network environment and technology, it can't be done at all. Forget it, put it on hold for the time being.

Putting this thought aside, Fang Jie turned his head to observe the city scene outside the window for a while.

Unlike later generations, Jiangcheng has no subway, no elevated buildings, and no skyscrapers. When passing through Jianggu District, the prosperous area of ​​later generations, it is just a wasteland overgrown with weeds.

Do you want to buy some land here to engage in real estate?

In later generations, the housing prices here have skyrocketed, even almost surpassing the housing prices in Jiangkou District, the central commercial city.

In the next 20 years, almost the entire city of Jiangcheng will be demolished and rebuilt under the leadership of the mayor who dug all over the city. Not only in Jianggu District, but you can make a fortune by buying land anywhere.

However, it is better to go to a first-tier city to engage in real estate in Jiangcheng, such as building a courtyard house or something, to earn more money.

On second thought, Fang Jie felt that it was too slow for him to make money by engaging in real estate, and it did not reflect the value of his life.

And as long as a chain of Internet cafes is established, it is equivalent to engaging in real estate, and there is no need to spend too much thought on this.

In this way, all the big plans to make money along the way flashed in Fang Jie's mind, and then they were vetoed and eliminated one by one.

This era, for him, is everywhere gold.

The only difference is the efficiency and significance of picking up money. If the efficiency is too low to pass, it is of little significance to be shot, and the conditions cannot be put on hold for the time being.

After wandering around for a long time, Fang Jie finally came to a conclusion that has already been included in the development outline: "This year is the first year of online games, and the game is still coming soon. Lao Chen relies on the agent of a "Legend" within three years. became the richest man in the country…”

"Moreover, "Legend" is still an agent from abroad. Bang Ziguo earns several times more money than Lao Chen. In this life, we can't let the sticks earn our money."

"Hundreds of thousands of agency fees are a drizzle, but why do we want to be an agency? Isn't it over when we develop it directly, how simple it is..."

Thinking of this, Fang Jie couldn't help but smile - this is called walking your own way, leaving others with nowhere to go!
