Chen Yiqiu took a quick look. First, the champion skin was on sale for a limited time.
There are five skins packaged together, and some are sold separately.
A single champion skin generally costs 7900 points. The skins of Chen Yiqiu and Lee Sang Hyuk are a little more expensive. Lee Sang Hyuk's champion skin costs 9900 points, while Chen Yiqiu's skin costs 12900 points.
In addition, there are also signature models. The so-called signature model means that when the game loads the screen, there will be a player ID signature under the skin or on the side.
At the same time, this signature will also appear in some special effects actions of the skin. The signature version is based on the original version plus 5,000 points, which is fifty yuan.
This arrangement is actually not difficult to understand. Players are distinguished according to their number of fans and fan loyalty.
Although they are all fans, there is also a difference in loyalty, which depends on how well the players perform. The better and stronger the players perform, the higher the loyalty of the fans.
But in Chen Yiqiu's opinion, this kind of eating appearance is too ugly.
Although fans can indeed increase his income, to a certain extent, most of his income comes from fans. There is only a direct and indirect difference.
However, fans cannot be slaughtered like pigs.
Chen Yiqiu continued reading. There are activities below. You can earn points through game play. Once you have enough points, you can draw a lottery. The prize is a discount for the champion skin.
The exact amount of discount will be decided by lottery, and it can range from 50 to 10 percent.
“Huh?” Chen Yiqiu was dumbfounded when he saw the description of this event. Who would participate in such a rubbish event?
After spending a long time, you still have to spend money to buy it, although there are many people who don't have enough money to buy it.
However, as an activity, it lacks sincerity and is solely focused on making money. It does not look at this issue from the perspective of players at all.
At this moment, Zhu Kai reminded: "It's almost time, everyone has logged in and is ready to start broadcasting."
Chen Yiqiu entered the live broadcast platform, entered the live broadcast room, and changed the name of the live broadcast room to: Champion Skin Event.
On the other side, in Ponytail's office, Ponytail is paying close attention to tonight's champion skin event.
There are three parties that can benefit from the sales of champion skins, one part is the players’ share, the other part is the headquarters, and the rest is Fujii.
This is related to their profit. Judging from the sales volume of previous champion skins, this is a considerable amount of revenue.
Suddenly, a voice came from the Bluetooth headset: "Mr. Ma, their live broadcast has started!"
"The popularity of the live broadcast room is skyrocketing. The current popularity of Reaper's live broadcast room is 70 million, and the popularity of Faker's live broadcast room is Fifty million..."
"Then there is the sales of skins. The upper limit is more than 10,000 copies sold in one minute. Many people are waiting to pay in advance..."
Ponytail breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. I was worried that the popularity would not reach the expected scale, but it seems that there is no problem now.
On Chen Yiqiu's side, the moment the live broadcast started, the barrages in the live broadcast room flooded the live broadcast screen:
[Qinggangying, Camille! 】
【Accuracy or not is the difference between slaughter and surgery! 】
【The price of evolution is necessary death. 】
【Lies will not hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife. 】
【Elegance never goes out of style! 】
Everyone frantically sent Qinggangying’s quotes on the barrage.
Chen Yiqiu didn't need to do anything. He just sat like this, and the live broadcast room was bombarded with gifts from the audience.
Lee Sang Hyuk and Xiao Peanut’s live broadcast room was also extremely lively.
As for Chen Wei and Liu Qingsong, they originally wanted to play ranked and get higher points.
But it was so lively that I couldn’t help but run over and watch.
At this moment, Chen Yiqiu asked: "What do you think of this championship event? I'm not talking about whether the championship skin is good or not, I'm talking about this official championship event."
Hearing Chen Yiqiu's words , the barrage in the live broadcast room started to complain wildly:
[Based on the defense, I don’t know which pig nose came up with it. 】
【I would rather buy the skin at the original price than do this activity. 】
【This is purely disgusting, you can either give it away directly, or don’t do any activities and insist on giving a discount, you’re out of your mind. 】
[It’s as if someone doesn’t have enough money for a discount and doesn’t want to lose face just to make money. 】
【If it weren’t for Chen Sheng’s skin, I really wouldn’t even want to take a look. 】
【TX is like this, just get used to it. 】
Seeing that everyone was dissatisfied, Chen Yiqiu said: "Since everyone is dissatisfied, I think they should make changes."
"Don't buy skins yet, listen. Mine, don’t buy it yet, I’ll go and communicate with the officials.”
After hearing this, fans began to take action, running around to tell others to stop buying it.
Of course, some people have already bought it, and they are wailing in various ways, indicating that they have been fooled.
Guo Hao was watching the anchors from behind. When he heard Chen Yiqiu's words, he immediately became anxious and walked up quickly: "Yiqiu, can you... come over here? Forget it, just sit down. , turn off the microphone.”
After listening, Chen Yiqiu took off his headphones and turned off the microphone.
Guo Hao lowered his voice and said: "The time for this event is officially set. I think... it's best to cooperate. If the sales are good, you can get more money, right?"
Chen Yiqiu shook his head: "This is not a question of money. I know that game companies want to make money, and professional players also want to make money, but we cannot disgust players just to make money. This is drinking poison to quench thirst."
"As a game company, we must let people Players can have fun and make money at the same time. If you can't do this, let me speak. , that is unqualified. Now you can see that fans are not satisfied with this event. Is this a good thing for the entire game? "
Hearing Chen Yiqiu's words, Guo Hao was stunned, he was really He didn't think so much, he just wanted to make a little more this time. As for what happened in the future... he couldn't control it.
Whether he will still be the manager of Taobo in the future, and whether Chen Yiqiuhe will continue to be Taobo, these are all unknown, so they all just want to make quick money.
But from a long-term perspective, doing so will indeed hurt players' feelings.
"Then what are you going to do? Do you really want to contact Fujii?" Guo Hao muttered.
Chen Yiqiu responded: "Well, you don't have to worry about this matter. I will contact them. Even if something happens, it has nothing to do with you."
Guo Hao suddenly felt ashamed. If you know it, you won't stop Chen Yiqiu.
I saw Chen Yiqiu taking out his mobile phone. He had a way to contact Fujii. In fact, many players have it. They use it to report game bugs or report actors.
In Ponytail's office, the following people continued to report the situation:
"Now the popularity of Reaper's live broadcast room has exceeded 100 million, the popularity of Faker's live broadcast room has been 80 million, and the popularity of Peanut's live broadcast has been 30 million..."
"Skin sales, more than 20,000 copies..."
Ponytail noticed something was wrong: "More than 20,000 copies? So few? It shouldn't be, what went wrong?"
More than 10,000 copies were sold in the first minute, and now ten minutes have passed Yes, it’s only over 20,000 copies, so that’s definitely wrong.
"Is there any problem with the statistics?" Ponytail thought that he might have misread one digit.
"No... we re-calculated, and it is indeed more than 20,000 points, almost 30,000... but the growth rate is very slow."
The more Ponytail thought about it, the more wrong it became. What was wrong with this? Already? "Also, there is now a public opinion on the Internet, asking players not to buy champion skins yet, in order to boycott this championship skin event."
Ponytail became alert when he heard this , this is no small matter!
Based on her experience, it is difficult for players to reach a consensus, especially on this kind of matter. Many people will buy directly because they like the champion player, even if the event is not satisfactory. , will also choose to be tolerant.
If a general consensus can be formed, there will definitely be considerable forces behind it and enough public opinion.
Then it can only be a rival company!
Who could it be? Fujii’s rivals in China...
After thinking for a while, Ponytail asked: "Have you found out who is driving the rhythm? Which company?"
"We found out, But it’s not a company…”
"Not the company? Who is that?"
"It was the Reaper player... He started it, and now Faker and Peanut players have followed up, and the fans of the three of them are working together to stop everyone from buying the championship Skin."
"This is impossible!" The ponytail stood up with a swish.
This kind of thing is indeed impossible in theory. After all, players are also beneficiaries. Who doesn’t want to make more money?
Ponytail chose to open the webpage on his mobile phone and took a look, and found that
#Reaper tells everyone not to buy the champion skin
It is already No. 1 on the hot search list!
And this is not an explosion of popularity, it is purple, the popularity is explosive, and it is rising rapidly.
Ponytail clicked in and saw that there were already more than 700,000 comments below:
[Support Chen Sheng! 】
[Chen Sheng is working for everyone’s benefit, stand up! 】
【Chen Sheng, my hero, the eternal god! 】
【I will always support praying to God! 】
There is also a video attached to this news, which is only a few dozen seconds long. When Ponytail opened it, he saw Chen Yiqiu from COS Qinggang Shadow.
At first glance, she thought Chen Yiqiu was quite thoughtful, so why did he boycott this event?
Soon, Chen Yiqiu began to ask the audience in the live broadcast room whether they were satisfied with this championship skin event.
Then the barrage was filled with complaints and even curses.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Yiqiu expressed that he wanted to communicate with the officials.
Ponytail looked at this scene and fell into deep thought. She really didn't expect that things would be like this. Chen Yiqiu actually chose to help fans boycott this event just because the fans were dissatisfied with this event.
She had never heard of such a thing before, let alone seen it.
A voice came from Ponytail's headphones: "Mr. Ma, 30,000 sets have been sold now..."
Ponytail suddenly said: "Refund, all of them."
" Huh? Refund..."
Ponytail is very sure: "Yes. , refund, first send an announcement saying that the arrangements for the championship skin event this time are not in place, apologize to the players, and say that they will refund the money."
"Also, Reaper called just now, what did he say? Yes, do you want to change it? ”
"Yes... However, if we follow what he said, our income may be much less... He asked us to cancel the discount method and change it to a direct reward for drawing the champion skin, and we are guaranteed to win one."
Ponytail said categorically: "I don't think so, just follow what he said, do it right away, and seize the time."
Ponytail knew that time was tight, and if it couldn't be dealt with right away, the losses would be huge. big.
Many people come here for the championship skin event. Seeing so many people buying it, they will follow suit. Once the event is over, the attention will plummet and it will be too late to regret.
For Chen Yiqiu, after making the phone call, he reported the situation to his fans:
"I have told them my opinions on the changes. I don't know yet whether they want to change it or not. However, I will always stand by your side. If they don't change it, don't buy it."
Hearing this , the barrage in the live broadcast room was boiling again:
[Chen Sheng, I want to give you a monkey, and I will raise it myself! 】
【Chen Sheng, you have to be careful. What if the official targets you and puts on small shoes for you. 】
【If the official dares to do this, I will uninstall the game immediately! 】
[The power of the people is infinite! 】
【Chen Sheng, if they threaten you and put pressure on you, we will always be on your side! 】
In addition to Chen Yiqiu, Lee Sang Hyuk and Xiao Peanut also joined the fight and called on fans to boycott.
However, everyone cannot wait forever. According to the event plan, Chen Yiqiu turned on the accelerator, opened the login interface of Hanbok, logged in to the Hanbok account, created a room, and brought in Lee Sang Hyuk, Xiao Peanut, Bae Junzhi and Lee Jaewan. Room.
Although they are in the Korean server, Chen Yiqiu, Lee Sang Hyuk, and Peanut feel okay, the delay is not very high, and they can barely play, but Bae Junzhi is in the LCS, it is uncomfortable, with hundreds of delays.
Five people entered the room. Lian Mai and Chen Yiqiu were the first to speak: "Are you all here?"
Li Zaiwan's excited voice came: "Brother Yiqiu! Oh! Oh! Oh! It's really Brother Yiqiu's voice, I'm not dreaming, am I?"
Bae Junzhi calmed down a little: "Hello everyone, long time no see, guys from SKT Friends."
Li Sanghyuk joked: "I heard that you are a lot fatter in LCS. The food there is good?"
Little Peanut said with a smile: "That's okay. Is Li Zaiwan fat? Li Zaiwan, have you lost weight properly? Are you still eating at night? I guessed it right.”
Chen Yiqiu smiled. Little Peanut was deliberately causing trouble. What Li Zaiwan didn't like the most was people calling him fat to his face. Before, Little Peanut would not have dared to be so direct, but now he is bolder. After all, he is not in the same country.
"Wangfu! I think your skin is itchy! I want to give you loose skin! Where are you! Where are you!" Li Zaiwan was furious.
In Chen Yiqiu’s live broadcast room, the barrage was boiling again:
[Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo of for of ofmus, SKT's five champions are reunited. 】
【This is the bond of SKT! 】
【The five most correct people! 】
【It's okay, Taobo's bottom lane will also grow in the future. 】
【I hope Tao Bo’s bottom lane will not disappoint the expectations of his seniors. 】
Chen Wei looked at this scene and suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
Both midfielders and upper junglers have proven themselves, and they are still proving themselves.
If there is such a mid and top jungler, but they fail to win the championship in the end, then their bottom lane is really guilty.
Chen Yiqiu started to queue up, chatting while lining up.
Little Peanut asked: "Brother Junzhi, is LCS fun? Isn't it very relaxing? If you have nothing to do, you can just go to the beach to bask in the sun, keep fit, and have all kinds of delicious food."
Pei Junzhi responded: "Absolutely. It's much easier here than in the LCK. We train for six or seven hours a day, and we can move freely the rest of the time."
"However, some players still work hard, and they are completely Rely on personal awareness.”
Little Peanut asked: "Can you get the results this year?" (End of Chapter)
