Chapter 1683 Phenomenal level
The next day
Monday, September 13, 2049
Real time AM07:20
Because there are classes today , so Mo Tan, who happens to be a 'Lawful Good' personality when offline, quickly made himself a simple and nutritious breakfast, then changed into his school uniform and went out.
Logically speaking, rushing to school at this time is a pain for most people. After all, very few young people now go to bed before midnight. In this case, getting up early is a particularly torture. After all, it’s one thing that everyone likes to go to bed late, but it’s another thing to hate getting up early.
But what’s interesting is that in just the past six months, this rather contradictory social normal has improved. For many people, getting up early is no longer a sad torture, but It is as natural a pattern as breathing.
There is only one reason, and that is that Innocence has become a phenomenon-level game. Although it did not make waves abroad until recently due to language issues, for domestic players, this game is definitely the most popular one right now. The trendiest, hottest, most popular and fashionable form of entertainment.
In fact, if [Innocence Bound] does not support live broadcast, recording and other functions, and there is no way to edit it into a video work, the time for this game to become popular can be reduced by at least half. If the official If a few more languages are taken into account in terms of language settings, it is likely that it will now become a worldwide phenomenon-level game.
However, even if there are constraints for various reasons, the World of Innocence still proves to the world that as long as the quality is excellent, it will become popular sooner or later, especially in major medical institutions. After the outrageous theory that one can have moderate sleep quality while in the "world", this spiritual virtual game, which is only open for 12 hours a day, has finally become everyone's favorite.
It is impossible to say that it has not had an impact on other peers, but given that the quality of this game is indeed high enough and there are no black spots, those manufacturers that have not been robbed of players' daytime time have basically tolerated it.
Be it businessmen or capitalists these days, there are very few pure fools. Therefore, although many people will suppress, spread rumors, slander, and slander their peers for the sake of profit, they will do a series of reasonable things. Competition means, but after all, it is still under the condition that both parties know the basics, and [Innocent Company]... is a strange existence that is difficult to see through.
In the eyes of ordinary people and small manufacturers, this company is just a game company. It has a business license and pays normal taxes. It can be said that it is quite satisfactory and has no problems. However, among a few who are truly powerful, some even have In the eyes of the bosses who have the ability to ignore the rules to a certain extent, under their deep scrutiny, the innocent company that has been stripped of its simple coat is full of mystery.
For example, the legal person registered by the innocent company does not exist at all; for example, the flowing water of the innocent company will eventually go into a special account that does not exist at the opening bank. Although there is no direct evidence, various big guys But they still realized through various clues that were probably left intentionally by someone that the account probably had an unexplained relationship with the treasury. After finding out this step, everyone basically let it go. Not that They can't continue the investigation, but they don't dare to investigate anymore...
As for those who are stubborn, they generally retreat after receiving some small warnings. As for those who have the background and the Big boss who likes to get to the bottom of things, I'm sorry, but it's impossible for a person in charge with that kind of intelligence to reach the level of being able to investigate innocent companies.
All in all, the big guys who are qualified to compete with innocent companies have basically suddenly changed their stance one day. Not only do they not intend to be enemies of the former, they even frequently show their goodwill through various channels; and those who jump around Small workshops, innocent companies don’t care, for no other reason than their style is too unique, the death penalty is crazy, the server is shut down every day and they are unbeatable, etc., there are not many players who are trolling them yet...< br>
In short, the situation in China is generally the same. Not long ago, [Innocent Bound] has surpassed several famous games in terms of discussion, popularity, search, average online rate, peak online rate, etc. In terms of data, it is the best. The only tepid data is cash flow, but that has nothing to do with the quality of the game. At most, it just makes everyone worry about whether the company will go bankrupt because it is too poor. It doesn't hurt anyway.
As for the foreign market... there is also a trend of rising now.
As mentioned before, the game [Innocence Bound] is not divided into servers. To put it simply, although it does not restrict everyone’s play, it is the same server and version worldwide, and this will lead to A series of issues that are very anti-human in the eyes of foreign friends.
The two most important ones are language issues and server opening time issues.
Let’s talk about the server opening time first. The server opening time of [Innocent Bound] is not everyone’s PM19:00-AM07:00, but PM19:00-AM07:00 in the East Eighth Time Zone.
In other words, if there is a player in Japan, then for him, the server opening time of this game is PM20:00-AM08:00, which is delayed by a full hour.
This seems to be no problem, and in fact it is no problem, but what if a player in Washington, USA, with the time zone of West District 5 wants to play Innocence Bound?
Then the time he can play the game every day is AM06:00-PM18:00.
Well, to put it simply, it means that normal people can play when they go to school or work, but in theory, during the break after dinner, I'm sorry, but the server is closed.
This special thing is very anti-human, and it is also the core reason why the game "Innocent Bound" had very few players in many areas at first. It is really not that people don't want to play, but that you don't give people the chance to play.
For any company that wants to make money and develop, such a catastrophic mistake is unforgivable. Not only must a remedy be figured out immediately, but the compensation must also be heavy. Only in this way can people shut their mouths. After all, the customer is God. How can you be so cool if you don’t serve God well?
Guess what, Guilty Company really did not serve those gods, and ignored the calls of foreign players to open the American and European servers.
The above is the first sin of this game in international public opinion.
The second sin of [The Realm of Innocence] is the language we just mentioned.
To put it simply, in the world view of the "Innocence Realm", no matter who they are, most people will learn one or two languages and characters from childhood, either "racially characteristic language and characters" + "common language language and characters" ', or simply 'lingua franca'
Then the question is, what is lingua franca?
Well, what you usually talk about now is lingua franca... to put it simply, it is Chinese/simplified Chinese characters.
There is definitely no obstacle to this thing for domestic players. Since there are basically no NPCs in the game who cannot speak Common Language, everyone is naturally able to play it like a fish in water.
But the problem is...
Although there are basically no people in the game who cannot speak Common Tongue, there are orcs who cannot speak Orcish, elves who cannot speak Elvish, and dwarves who cannot speak Dwarf. In other words, you are not guilty if your Chinese is not up to standard. You will suffer a lot in the world.
It is true that English, which is more popular outside the game, is the second most popular language in the game [Elvish], but the problem is that all races in the game basically only use their native dialect as a second language. To put it simply, To give you an example, if you just throw an old Englishman into the pile of elves, his level of Elvish language will crush about 70% of his compatriots.
In short, in view of the above two huge problems, as well as countless minor problems, the popularity of Innocence among foreign players was difficult at first, and even a small number of Innocence players were Examples of bystander verbal aggression exist.
But again, gold will always shine unless it is in a vault.
As for the game field, there are currently few 'golds' in the world who can match [Innocent Bound] in terms of overall quality, so today, after nine months, it is finally It still has a firm foothold internationally.
This is mainly due to the following two points-
First of all, professional players don't mind.
The reason is very simple, because playing games is the "profession" of professional players, and playing games is "work" for them. Under this premise, even American players who suffer from jet lag will Professional players in the game don’t mind going to work during the day, and with professional players taking the lead, Their fans will naturally be interested in games, just like many Argentinians love football because of Messi, but this sport is basically played by some rotten fish and shrimps in our country, such as Gao Qiu and Gao Taiwei. Because of a series of stereotypes related to football, he was written into the Water Margin as a villain. (PS: The above example is very nonsense and highly subjective, so please laugh it off and let me go.)
The second reason is because the popularity of Chinese in 2049 has already It has reached an unprecedented level. Although it is still a little far behind English, it is really just a little bit. It has not only been chosen as a second language by a large number of English-speaking countries, but has also been chosen as a second language in many countries such as Japan and South Korea. The proportion of second languages is also very high.
To sum up, although there are not many people who can use Chinese proficiently, many people will not be affected if they only communicate at a simple level. This aspect is especially reflected in young people abroad. This may be related to the importance of Chinese in them. It is related to the extremely high fashion value in the eyes.
Of course, there are other positive reasons besides this. For example, fans of world-class professional players like Xing Long will accompany him into the pit, etc. In short, the proportion of foreign players has also increased recently. The number of professional players in the Innocence Realm has gradually increased, and some of the familiar names have quietly appeared in the comprehensive strength rankings, such as the God of War, who is now over fifty years old. Swiftya], the best lone wolf professional player [Neilyof], and the solo brush queen [Mionek], the owners of these IDs are all celebrities in the industry.
[It’s booming...]
After closing the article in the international section of the Innocence Forum, Mo Tan sighed in his heart, and then put his phone back in his pocket, I walked out of the elevator with a small bag of cat food, and a few minutes later I saw two familiar figures in the animal corner of the community.
They are Ji Xiaodao, who is squatting on the ground, feeding the cat with a gentle smile, and——
Ji Xiaoge stood aside with his arms folded, his face stern, exuding a strong sense of low pressure.
Mo Tan rubbed his eyes subconsciously. He felt that either his walking posture was wrong, or there was something wrong with the earth today, otherwise the sisters would not have changed their bodies directly like this. .
It’s a pity that after rubbing his eyes, he noticed that the faint smile on Ji Xiaodao’s face disappeared when Mo Tan came over, but...
Seriously, there is such a person For a moment, Mo Tan even had the illusion that two Ji Xiaodao were turning to look at him.
“Ahem...good morning you two...”
Mo Tan, who could vaguely guess why Ji Xiaoge was possessed by his own sister, coughed slightly and waved to the two girls as awkwardly as he could: "What a coincidence, huh?"
Ji Xiaodao gently rubbed the head of Xia Yuhe, the little black cat in front of him, and then said slowly He stood up calmly and glanced at Mo Tan coldly: "Morning."
"Morning."
Ji Xiaoge's expression was a little richer, but it was also rich. Limited, and I don't know if it was an illusion, but there seemed to be a faint murderous aura brewing in her eyes.
Although the murderous intent was not directed at 'Mo Tan', if Mo Tan guessed correctly, the murderous intent should be directed at 'Mo Tan'.
"I'll go back and put out the cat food."
Mo Tan coughed lightly and asked nonchalantly: "Are you going to school together later?"
Ji Xiaoge nodded casually, wandering in a fugue. Tianwai replied: "Oh, okay."
Ji Xiaodao, after hesitating for a while, walked to Mo Tan and suggested with no room for reservation: "I'll go with you. Well, there are some left that they can’t eat anymore, so I’ll leave them at your house.”
“Okay, no problem.”
Under the girl's gaze, Mo Tan dared not say a word, so he immediately nodded in agreement, then turned around and walked back to his home.
Ji Xiaodao, on the other hand, frowned slightly and turned to look at his sister, then bit his lower lip and followed her.
……
Two minutes later
“Then what…”
In the elevator going upstairs, Mo Tan, who knew that the girl next to him would not go upstairs with him for nothing, was the first to open the topic very consciously and considerately: "Xiaoge... she doesn't seem to be in a good mood today."
Ji Xiaodao took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded with a slightly complicated expression: "My sister has been like this since she woke up in the morning... or just after she downloaded the game. I asked her what happened. If you don't say anything, just bring her over to feed the cat to change your mood."
Mo Tan turned sideways and let Ji Xiaodao get off the elevator first. After he came out, he was about to open the door when he saw the latter pressing the fingerprint lock. After a moment, and then——
With a click, the door opened.
“Come in.”
"Uh..."
"What are you doing standing still?"
"So why are your fingerprints valid..."
"The last time I came over to get together, Idong The hostess who helped us register was so enthusiastic that everyone couldn’t resist.”
“…”
