Chapter 554 Inexplicable

On December 13th,

Gibbs' new game "Mobile Force" announced that the release will be postponed due to technical reasons.

Players just started to tease them.

Not long after.

Dreamland's "Battlefield" was announced to be postponed...

As for the reason.

According to them... a good game needs time to be polished, and the production team needs more time to make the game better.

Although their reason is not due to technical reasons.

But.

If it were the same company, it would be fine.

But first, Frank from Gibbs said directly, "All staff are very confident in this game", and then ran away overnight.

Later, Dreamland said, "A good game needs time to be polished."

And the time when their announcements were issued happened to be when "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" was launched on the store page, and then it rushed to the top of the sales list in a short period of time.

It seems very strange...

It's too easy to associate...

[Let's not talk about Dreamland for now. I have a feeling that Gibber's sentence 'All staff are very confident in this game' will become a meme...]

[Hahaha, after the promotional video battle royale, there is another wave of release date battle royale, right?]

[Oh my goodness, I woke up and suddenly, two big games were minus in December.]

[To be honest, these two companies must have been scared.]

[After all, these two companies just returned to the Vaporwave game platform not long ago. According to Linmu Studio's past performance, they will definitely push their own games strongly at that time. Game player is now half dead... I don't want to go head-to-head with them.]

[Boring, I want to see rivers of blood!]

[If these two companies don't change the release date, there will really be rivers of blood. Yes, they are bleeding...]

[...]

In fact.

In fact, it is not only domestic players who think so. They have the idea that Gibber and Dreamland are scared...

Overseas players also think so.

If Gibber says that the delay is due to technical reasons, it's fine.

But it is really unusual for both companies to postpone the   release of their games.

And the timing is so coincidental...

Everyone would have a few words.

And.

What's even funnier is. The two companies did not discuss it, and chose to postpone the release of the game for the sake of their own games.   It also made Linmu Studio successful...   Because there are only so many new games released every month.   There were three new FPS games announced this month, and the most anticipated one is the sequel to "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2", which is also the most popular.   But you said that no one plays the seventh generation of "Mobile Force" and "Battlefield", which is also a series... That's definitely impossible.   There will definitely be fans of these two series who choose to buy these two games.   Of course, the premise is that they release the game on time.   But now they have changed the release date and choose to postpone...   Then players who like this type of game will have no choice this month.   Big games require high investment.   Not every company can do it.   And "Call of Duty" is so famous that it is now known as "scared Gibbs and Dreamland to run away overnight."   Now even players who haven't played the previous game want to try this game...   So.   The two companies announced the postponement of the game one after another, which boosted the pre-sale sales of "Call of Duty"...   The pre-sale curve of the game is almost inverted V shape.   Fortunately, Linmu Studio did not announce the pre-sale sales.   After reaching the first place in the sales list, the ranking will not change.   Otherwise, Frank would probably faint from anger...   ...   "They are really the lucky stars of Linmu Studio."   Linmu Studio.   In the office.   Lin Yao glanced at the internal email sent by Zhong Xiu, then leaned back, raised her hand and stretched, smiling brightly.   "What lucky star?"   Mu Wanqing stood beside the table, holding a small shower in her hand, watering the potted plants on Lin Yao's table.   Last time.   After Lin Yao went to her office and showed her interest in green plants.   Mu Wanqing immediately went to buy a bunch of green plants, and then moved them to Lin Yao, filling up half of the table and surrounding her...   Lin Yao said she would forget to water them.   She brought a small shower and said she would take good care of them.   Lin Yao had no choice   but to let her take care of them.   Not to mention.   After having a few more pots of green plants in the office, Lin Yao was indeed in a better mood.   After all... there was a black-stockinged, glasses-wearing girl who came to water them on time every day.   "Gibber Company and Dreamland."   Lin Yao put down her hand and answered while looking at Mu Wanqing not far away.

Mu Wanqing is still very eye-catching today. She is wearing a well-cut dark suit. The hem of her light-colored shirt is tucked into the suit, outlining her slender waist.

Looking up along her slender waist, you can see her extremely plump upper body, and looking down, you can see the classic combination of stockings and high heels. This classic combination makes her straight, slender, round and tight long legs look particularly attractive.

... She is simply the standard template of a mature big sister.

"How can they be called lucky stars?"

Mu Wanqing stopped watering, looked up, and was a little amused.

"Why not? With one operation, they directly raised "Call of Duty" to a higher level..."

The daily eye-catching segment ended.

Lin Yao withdrew her gaze from Mu Wanqing, and began to explain to her: "I originally thought that on the day of release, the pre-sale plus real-time sales would exceed 7 million copies, but now they have pushed all the wavering players to our side. I now think that 7 million may be conservative. If we increase the publicity during this period, the sales will probably be even higher..."

Mu Wanqing shook her head slightly with some amusement, and then asked: "Actually, I'm curious, why are you so entangled in the number of 7 million?"

"..."

Lin Yao didn't know how to answer.

She couldn't say that this was the first-day sales of her previous life's game.

So she thought about it for a while, and replied confidently: "Lucky number!"

Mu Wanqing smiled gently.

"Okay, just kidding."

Seeing the smile on Mu Wanqing's face, Lin Yao left the back of the chair, straightened up, supported her cheek with her hand, and replied a little more seriously: "Miss Mu, you have heard of the herd effect, right? In an industry with fierce competition, if a leader appears and occupies the main attention, then the entire herd will continue to pay attention to and imitate the leader's every move...

In the game industry, it is not only the peers who pay attention to the leader, but also the players.

In addition to bringing considerable profits, an exaggerated record can also establish the position of the leader, thus laying the foundation for the entire "Call of Duty" series and making it a representative FPS to some extent.

I want the "Call of Duty" series to become the leader of FPS, and to achieve this goal, the data must look good. The sales of the previous games in the series have exceeded 10 million, and the data of the sequel must be even more exaggerated... Seven million copies on the first day is what I think is the ideal number to achieve the goal."

"...I understand."

Mu Wanqing nodded gently, and then said: "From now on, the possibility of achieving 7 million copies on the first day is very high."

"That's why I said they are lucky stars..."

Lin Yao chuckled and said, "If the pre-sale sales can hit a higher level in the next few days, it must be their contribution."

"..."

Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Yao, who was smiling like a flower with her cheeks supported, and was stunned.

Then she suddenly put down the small shower in her hand and took a few steps back.

After pulling away enough distance.

Mu Wanqing looked through the green plants and looked at the girl who was smiling a little bit maliciously at the moment. She

was in a good mood.

"What are you doing?"

Lin Yao found that Mu Wanqing had retreated to a distance, and tilted her head in confusion, looking at Mu Wanqing through the green plants on the table that had just been watered and still had water droplets on them.

The water droplets on the leaves were crystal clear, and they emitted dazzling light under the sunlight of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

But the girl next to her was even more dazzling.

Mu Wanqing subconsciously wanted to take her phone.

But soon.

She noticed that her phone was on the table. She

quickly walked back, picked up her phone, and then returned to her original position and pointed the camera at Lin Yao.

Click——

"...boring."

Lin Yao was stunned for a moment, then reacted and glared at her.

Mu Wanqing returned to Lin Yao's side, saying nothing, just pursing her lips and laughing.

"Let's increase the publicity and promotion costs of Call of Duty by a certain percentage. You can tell Xi Qianyu from the marketing department later... It's a rare opportunity like this,"

Lin Yao glanced at the internal email system on the screen again, then thought about it and explained.

"Okay."

Mu Wanqing nodded.

"I hope the performance of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will be as impressive as expected... Then we can give everyone a surprise!"

Lin Yao smiled at Mu Wanqing and ended the whole topic.

Then, she turned to the desk again, hesitated for a moment, put the warm burden on the table, and lay lazily on the table with her hands out.

She looked like a salted fish that had lost its dream and didn't want to move anymore.

Mu Wanqing: "..."

Lin Yao was so open and aboveboard.

It was the first time.

"Don't laugh at me."

Lin Yao seemed to notice Mu Wanqing's gaze, and she tilted her head slightly, glancing at her from the corner of her eye: "It's very hard."

"...Don't do this in front of outsiders." Mu Wanqing thought for a moment and warned in a low voice.

"Are you an outsider?"

Lin Yao asked with a sweet smile.

"..."

Mu Wanqing did not answer this question, but changed the subject and asked gently: "What do you want to eat for lunch?"

"I don't know. I have eaten at all the restaurants I have been to before. I want to go out and look for other restaurants."

"Not yet..."

"Okay, in fact, as long as I put on a hat and go out, who will know who I am."

"Then you underestimate your charm..."

"Aren't you there to attract attention? You can definitely do it."

"... Where are you going to find food?"

"Near Kexin Road, we'll be out at twelve o'clock."

"Okay."

"What should we do with the remaining time?"

"... Sit for a while?"

Mu Wanqing raised her arm, glanced at the lady's watch on her white wrist, and made a suggestion.

"Okay..."

Lin Yao thought about it, moved to the side, gave up half of the seat, and then pulled Mu Wanqing to sit down.

Soon.

The two of them sat together with their shoulders close to each other, chatting casually.

...

Work, eat, lunch break, work, get off work.

Lin Yao's life is very regular.

If you just look at the schedule, it may even make people feel boring.

But in fact.

Lin Yao herself does not feel that way. On

the one hand, she can't take care of it when she is busy, and on the other hand, there are mature older sisters in the company...

In addition.

The most important thing is.

There are surprises every day.

For example, today.

Lin Yao and Mu Wanqing ran a long way to Kexin Road to have a meal, and just took off their hats when they came back.

Bao Liangzhe from the hardware department and Kang Yi from the mobile game department came and brought good news.

"The second batch of small-scale production has ended, and all mobile games have been installed."

Bao Liangzhe saw Lin Yao and immediately told her excitedly about the new progress of the mobile phone project: "Boss, do you want to see it?"

"Oh?"

Lin Yao's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately took Mu Wanqing to the Kaishan Research Institute, which is now affiliated with the hardware department.

Kaishan Research Institute.

When Lin Yao walked in, she saw an unexpected figure-Zhong Xiu.

He held the phone and muttered something in his mouth, seeming to be very excited.

Lin Yao glanced at him, but did not disturb him, but took the phone directly from Bao Liangzhe.

During this period.

The mobile phone project has reached the stage of small-scale production.

But compared with the trial production, the appearance of the mobile phone is not much different.

The changes in the Kaishan system are quite big, after all, the version has been iterated.

In addition.

There are more games. Last time, there were only two games on the mobile phone, namely "Fruit Ninja" and "Temple Run".

But this time, "Angry Birds" and "Plants vs. Zombies" (ported) have also been implemented, and the icon of "Hearthstone" has also appeared, although it is followed by the words "trial run".

Lin Yao swiped her finger across the screen and tested the smoothness of the phone.

Then she opened the previous game and the newly installed new game and played a little.

About twenty minutes later.

Lin Yao looked up.

Overall.

She was very satisfied.

The reward BUFF was really not covered.

The phone in her hand was already very close to the smartphone in her previous life.

"Miss Mu..."

Lin Yao thought of this, turned around, and was about to ask Mu Wanqing about her feelings.

Next to her.

Mu Wanqing also held the phone and played with interest.

Hearing Lin Yao's voice.

She came back to her senses, but before she could speak.

"Genius-it's really a genius idea!"

Zhong Xiu suddenly howled, and his hoarse voice and high volume directly made everyone in the Kaishan Research Institute stop their actions and look at him.

And Zhong Xiu didn't care about the eyes of others.

He rushed directly to Lin Yao, raised his phone excitedly, and said excitedly: "These games are so interesting! The design ideas can be said to be simple!"

The mobile game department is relatively independent.

The PC department is very busy, not to mention Zhong Xiu himself.

The mobile terminal project is still in his hands...

So he doesn't know much about the mobile game project. The reason

why he appeared here today was that he heard Kang Yi's words occasionally, so he ran up on a whim.

Originally, he just planned to take a look.

But after really getting started with the phone.

He was really shocked.

This fluency, this system, this mobile game...

Then, there was the howl just now.

"Why are you so loud..."

Lin Yao was startled, raised her hands and half covered her ears, and looked at Zhong Xiu who was two bodies away helplessly.

"Mobile game!"

Zhong Xiu pointed to the phone in his hand.

"Don't get excited first."

Lin Yao motioned for him to calm down.

Zhong Xiu took a deep breath and barely calmed down.

Then.

Lin Yao didn't need to ask Mu Wanqing.

Directly from Zhong Xiu, he got the required user experience...

Zhong Xiu spoke for more than ten minutes without stopping...

"...To be honest, the game is really interesting. I don't know how many copies can be sold if quantified into data, and I dare not say. But I can guarantee that it will definitely not be ignored! This is really interesting! Now I am interested in mobile game production."

Zhong Xiu talked for so long alone.

The excitement slowly subsided.

Finally.

He played with his mobile phone and gave a summary, that is - interesting.

Then, he paused, as if he thought of something, and said regretfully: "I should have come up to play mobile games earlier... Then I should suggest that you put the mobile phone project on the e-sports festival. This thing is a real surprise! It is guaranteed to cause an uproar!"

"No need."

Lin Yao shook her head gently after hearing this: "Unless we plan to sacrifice the new games of the PC department and the host department, this mobile phone still has room for optimization. At this stage, our most important work is still the existing games. You should also be able to guess how much impact the mobile game will have on the existing games when it is put on the market..."

"Uh..."

Zhong Xiu was stunned and speechless for a while.

"So it's not the right time yet."

Lin Yao woke up the phone screen again: "Wait a little longer, wait until the existing games are sold out... You don't have to be too excited, it will be announced eventually, you should pay attention to the multimedia project of "Resident Evil" first... Isn't the related promotional video going to be announced at the finals of the "Breakout" project?"

"I understand..."

Zhong Xiu thought about it and breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't worry about the multimedia project of "Resident Evil". Qi Jianhua and I are ready. We will definitely satisfy the players by then!"

"Okay..."

Lin Yao nodded, then looked at the phone screen again and smiled gently.

Look at Zhong Xiu's reaction.

The future of the mobile phone project... is bright!

...

In the afternoon.

Lin Yao was at the Kaishan Research Institute, discussing mobile phones with Bao Liangzhe until the end of the day.

When she went back.

She also took a mobile phone away specifically, ready to experience it after returning home.

... Park the car, open the door, change shoes, and enter the house.

Lin Yao returned home and walked into the living room. She was about to jog to the sofa and lie down to experience the new phone.

But she found that someone was faster than her...

Lin Xi was sitting on the sofa in a cool suspender pajamas. The pajamas were loose, but they could not cover her exquisite body curves at all. The lace skirt was limited in length and could only barely cover her snow-white thighs. Her white and delicate calves were not covered at all, exposed to the air, like white jade.

Lin Yao saw Lin Xi curled up on the sofa, holding her mobile phone, and paused: "Sister, you are not cold in this pajamas... and what are you doing?"

"I just took a shower, I am not cold, as for what I am doing..."

Lin Xi noticed that Lin Yao came back, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.

Then, she looked at her sister standing not far away, and thought of something. Suddenly she jumped off the sofa, trotted to her side, and put her arms around her slender waist.

"I'm trying the camera of the phone... look at the lens."

Lin Xi put his arms around Lin Yao's waist, hugged her tightly, pressed against her face, and motioned her to look up.

"...???"

Lin Yao felt puzzled.

I'll post it first and revise it later. I'll check it carefully tomorrow... I guess there will be a lot of typos, please forgive me. I'll try to make adjustments in the next few days.
