Chapter 583 Opening

Xu Xuanle's expectations obviously did not come true.

Even though the mobile games on Jiaming Alliance have been booming recently.

But the influence of Linmu Carnival is still there.

If it were normal, traditional players might still pay attention to it.

But during this period, "Dark Soul 2" happened to be released.

In this case, who cares about mobile games?

Although, the number of players who like soul games is not as many as those who like FPS games such as "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".

However.

Soul games have a characteristic, that is - if you don't like to play, watching others lose... that is also a very interesting thing.

High-difficulty games will bring excellent program effects to live broadcasts. Live

broadcasts are similar.

In addition, Linmu Studio has also worked hard on promotion during this period. The previous game is also famous for the Uncle Lin incident, the extremely high difficulty and endless malice.

So as soon as the game is released.

The popularity is extremely high.

Players who play this traditional game or not are very happy to discuss this game.

Of course.

People who don't play games are mainly watching for fun.

However, when they came into contact with the community, players were discussing the same game. Every day, they could see the unique dark style of Dark Souls 2, the bosses of various shapes and their gorgeous performances, and the image of the "firekeeper" that was very consistent with their imagination.

If you say you are not moved, that would be a lie...

Once people enter a group, they are easily influenced.

The more people discuss Dark Souls 2, the more people will choose to join the game, and then the cycle will repeat.

Although, some players did misjudge their abilities, and after playing the game, they were directly educated by Guda and chose to refund on the spot.

But there are also more players who really play it.

The main reason is that Dark Souls 2 has really made a qualitative leap in all aspects compared to its predecessor, such as the combat feel, and because each weapon has added combat skills, the combat performance effect is also more enjoyable than the previous game, not to mention other things such as bonfire teleportation across the map.

The game has evolved in all aspects, the addition of the elemental ash bottle, the rise of the wizard... All kinds of changes have slightly lowered the threshold of the game, making it the easiest soul game to get started.

But it retains the most attractive core of the "Dark Soul" series, and with the popularity of the previous game, it is really hard not to be popular.

And for old players.

This sequel is also satisfactory.

No matter how the external environment changes.

This game has not changed much.

The art style and fragmented narrative are in the same vein.

There have indeed been major improvements in combat.

But it is more in line with aesthetics.

This is very surprising.

Now the external game environment is turbulent, and the most impressive 3A masterpiece is still last year's "Call of Duty".

All game companies are making mobile games. You

can still play such a masterpiece.

Players are really satisfied...

...

Wang Ang, who was almost hunted down by all players on the Internet because of the Uncle Lin incident.

He entered the game as soon as "Dark Soul 2" was released.

The first Dark Soul almost killed him socially, but it also successfully pulled him into the pit of soul games.

He has played the previous game for more than 300 hours.

So when he opened "Dark Soul 2", he felt like he was back home...

Everything is familiar.

The meaning is unclear but it feels very awesome CG.

The inexplicable face pinching.

The gloomy picture.

Did you watch the random tutorial?

The monsters that can be killed with two slashes.

The messages from other players who blindly commanded.

The sudden BOSS stage...

"Fuck! Another delayed kill!"

After being killed by Guda's Guandao, Wang Ang cursed and resurrected.

But he couldn't hide the happiness on his face.

There is bad news.

This game feels exactly the same as the previous one.

But the good news is that this game is exactly the same as the previous one!

Everything is a familiar formula.

Wang Ang thought with some emotion, and then ran back to Guda, who is now known as a novice discourager, and triggered the battle again. Relying on the righteous roll, he skillfully killed him with one slash after another.

When Guda turned into white light and dissipated.

[HEIR OF FIRE DESTROYED] Such a prompt appeared.

Everything seemed to have returned to the past.

Wang Ang looked at the screen and thought of his experience as an uncle. He smiled and suddenly felt excited. He said loudly, "Okay, I will not die for the next time! Complete the game!"

Of course...

his excitement did not last long.

Soon.

"Hehehe, Fire Keeper, I am willing to die for you..."

A strange voice appeared in Wang Ang's room...

The player... is really hard to figure out.

However.

The game is indeed popular.

There is no doubt about that.

And the discussion is much higher than that of mobile games.

Xu Xuanle is not the first to discover this, nor is he the last.

These traditional players, no matter how much the mobile game hype is, still prefer traditional games to mobile games.

They are still excited about stand-alone games and will discuss them excitedly.

This is something that mobile games really can't do at present.

This has made many of Linmu Studio's colleagues calm down a little.

Finally, they have broken away from the illusion that the mobile game market is booming in Jiaming Alliance.

The main reason is that it is too scary.

Not only the "game circle", the latest rising base of Linmu Studio's game fans, are all discussing "Dark Soul 2".

Other player communities are not much better.

And their discussions are not limited to one point, but are multi-faceted.

Plot, gameplay, numerical, BOSS fighting method, and even the female character Fire Keeper...

are all topics discussed by players.

This kind of grand occasion, really no mobile game can do it at present. Even

the mobile games of Linmu Studio can't do it.

This calmed down many of his peers who had gradually become arrogant and thought they had figured out the future of the game market.

Of course,

most of his peers didn't care.

They thought traditional games belonged to traditional games

and mobile games belonged to mobile games.

For example, after Xu Xuanle figured out what "Gan Lin Niang's Gu Da" was, he lost interest in the post. He

didn't pay much attention to it.

Instead, he checked the next post.

A post about the opening of Future S1's offline stores.

What he was concerned about was that the opening of these twelve offline stores would not have any impact on his mobile game company.

After all, Future S1 didn't do much during this period, and it seemed that it didn't care much about the rise of Jiaming Alliance.

Now it suddenly announced the opening of offline stores, and twelve stores opened together, which is indeed worthy of attention.

However,

no matter how Xu Xuanle considered it, he couldn't think of what impact this would have on him...

So soon, he shook his head and closed the post without thinking about it carefully.

On the other hand,

Yu Tianbo, the helmsman of Tianyu Mobile, who was considered a leader within Jiaming Alliance, also saw the news.

But he was different from Xu Xuanle.

Ever since he saw the news, he has been frowning.

He was vaguely worried, always feeling that something was wrong and that he had to do something.

But he couldn't figure out what was wrong, what he should do, and where the uneasiness in his heart came from.

It was as if he had caught some thoughts vaguely, but they were gone in a flash.

No matter how hard he thought, he couldn't figure it out.

So the final result was that he did nothing...

On the one hand, "Dark Soul 2" was released, killing it in the traditional game circle and becoming extremely popular.

Not only did it become the top seller in various countries and regions,

it also became a popular choice for live broadcasts in various countries and regions.

On the other hand, Jiaming Alliance's mobile games were constantly launched. Those who acted quickly in the early stage had made their first pot of gold, which in turn stimulated the latecomers, making them more and more excessive in cheating krypton, and users became more and more resistant to mobile games... complaining.

And time just like this... slowly came to Friday.

This day.

Pengcheng, Nanshan.

Inside Youmei, the direct-operated store with serial number 1 officially opened!

This store is located in the best prime location in Nanshan District.

In fact, many people noticed it during the construction phase.

The main reason is that the transparent glass is too conspicuous.

However,

not many pedestrians guessed that this was a mobile phone store.

After all, most of the current mobile phone stores are not like this. Mobile phone displays do not require too much space or such huge glass.

So, it was not

until the opening day that

many pedestrians knew that this was actually the Future S1 mobile phone direct store that has been in the limelight recently!

And this store, how to say... It is really unforgettable.

There is no traditional closed space of ordinary stores.

The first thing that catches the eye is the open space made of large areas of glass.

The large, fully tempered glass facade replaces the wall, but it is not abrupt. The overall style is completely integrated with the entire building, with a special minimalist beauty.

And looking through the glass inside, there is no familiar window.

Instead, open long tables are lined up side by side.

It is clear at a glance.

This special structure is really attractive.

So.

As soon as the store opened, many people walked in one after another.

And after walking in, the feeling is also very special.

The layout of the direct-operated store is very spacious, with a lot of blank areas and aisles,

and almost no visual obstruction.

The entire store can be seen from the entrance.

The overall lighter color of the interior is also very modern.

This open design is really impressive, in sharp contrast to the crowded and messy shelves and narrow aisles of general mass stores and digital cities.

There are no human-shaped billboards.

There are no cool colored light strips.

There are no promotional discounts and promotional flyers.

There are no glass cabinets.

In short, it is very clean.

Coupled with the reasonable zoning, the experience is excellent.

In fact, many people come in simply out of curiosity, curious about what is sold inside.

After walking in, they were even more surprised when they found that they were selling mobile phones.

It turned out to be mobile phones?

How can a mobile phone store be like this?

The direct-sale store in Pengcheng opens at ten o'clock.

At noon,

the flow of people reached a terrifying level.

However,

the real peak of the flow of people has not yet arrived...

That night,

at around seven o'clock,

Cheng Lin finished his work for the day and took advantage of the rare free time to go shopping with his girlfriend.

Then,

as expected,

when the two of them walked to Pengnan Avenue, they were immediately attracted by the conspicuous Future S1 direct-sale store.

"What is that?"

Cheng Lin's girlfriend stopped in her tracks the second she saw the direct-sale store, very curious.

"I don't know... Eh? Isn't that Future?"

Cheng Lin looked up and was about to shake his head when he saw the Future logo and immediately changed the subject.

"Future? That phone?"

His girlfriend turned her head and was stunned for a moment before reacting.

Cheng Lin nodded and replied, "Yes, I wanted to buy it after watching the press conference... But the delivery was too slow at the time, and later Tianyu's mobile phone could also play mobile games, so I gave up."

When his girlfriend heard this, she wrinkled her nose and said dissatisfiedly, "The mobile games in your mobile phone are not fun at all, and everything costs money."

"..."

Cheng Lin was a little angry when he talked about this: "How did I know there would be so many messy things? There were none at the beginning! Now it feels more and more messy, and I don’t want to download any games.

The mobile phone manufacturer doesn’t care either. I heard that Future S1 will not be like this, but I haven’t used it."

"Why don’t we go in and take a look?"

His girlfriend looked at the direct-sale store with people coming and going and made a suggestion.

"Okay."

Cheng Lin agreed immediately without hesitation.

Because he was also very interested. Although the press conference was very tempting, he had never really used it after all.

He also wanted to know how big the difference was between the mobile phone he was using and Future S1.

The two walked towards the Future direct-sale store together.

As they approached.

The impression was even more shocking.

The main thing is that the large all-tempered glass facade is really eye-catching and gives people a clear feeling.

You can really see what's going on inside from the outside.

Cheng Lin walked into the store with his girlfriend.

There are a lot of people.

Really a lot.

But the interior is not too crowded, mainly because there are a lot of blank areas, enough to accommodate a lot of people.

After walking in, Cheng Lin found more details. The light above his head is not glaring, but very soft. The floor is specially made of gray, and the table material is wood, with the same height.

All wires and cables have special grooves to lead into the ground. There is no mess on the table. The only focus is the mobile phone.

I don't know what other people feel.

Anyway, as soon as Cheng Lin came in, he felt that the environment was very comfortable and cool.

But he didn't observe the environment for long.

Soon, he was attracted by the Future S1 on the table.

Curved glass body and stainless steel high-gloss frame.

Very technological.

The actual look is really more memorable than any mobile phone he has used.

He took his girlfriend to the table, then let go of her hand and picked up the phone instead.

As soon as Cheng Lin held the phone, he felt the difference between this phone and the Jiaming phone he was using.

It was completely different!

After calming down a little,

Cheng Lin gently pressed the power button to wake up the screen.

Then he swiped up according to the prompt to enter the home screen. Then

he swiped left and right.

The smooth experience...

immediately made Cheng Lin's eyes widen slightly and he took a breath of cool air.

Really...

You don't know until you try it.

The experience is shocking.

It's so smooth!

Although you can feel the smoothness by watching the video.

But it is really different from actually getting started and operating it yourself.

In order to confirm this.

Cheng Lin even put down the trial phone, took out his own phone from his pocket, and tried to slide it.

Originally,

the high-end Tianyu phone that seemed to be usable for a while suddenly didn't seem so good. It

's really not as good as it could be...

Cheng Lin frowned as he played with his phone, and soon put his phone in his pocket, and picked up the trial Future S1 again.

Holding Future S1 again,

his brows finally relaxed.

Then he tried the other system-built functions of the phone again.

He found that every function could really beat the phone he was using now.

It's not just as simple as smooth animation.

It's a way of operation that is more intuitive.

This kind of experience was not mentioned at the press conference, and it's hard for users who have used it to explain it clearly. Only after using it can you know how comfortable it is.

Cheng Lin's suppressed desire to buy was aroused again as the trial progressed.

And at this moment,

next to him,

her girlfriend suddenly exclaimed.

Cheng Lin turned around.

"Isn't this the mobile game you downloaded a while ago?"

His girlfriend held up her phone and showed it to him: "It's also here, but it's much better than what you downloaded. There are no ads, no other messy props, you can play directly, and it's very smooth, you try it."

"I know, I heard that many mobile games on Tianyu Mobile are imitations, this should be the original..."

Cheng Lin replied, while taking the phone and trying it himself.

However.

I know.

But.

When he actually played it, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

The interface is cleaner and more pure, not to mention this.

The main thing is... this mobile game is really much smoother to play than the game on his phone.

There is no feeling of frame drop or lag.

Silky.

Really silky.

Obviously it's a similar mobile game...

It's really amazing.

"Smooth?" his girlfriend asked.

"Yeah."

Cheng Lin finished a game, nodded, then thought of something, found the Future store icon, and clicked it.

The app store page popped up.

Cheng Lin thought about it and searched for the "Temple Run" he had just played.

Soon, the software page of the game popped up.

The most conspicuous thing is the download button.

And below are the software ratings, age restrictions, and rankings.

Further down are the promotional pictures of the application, as well as detailed ratings and comments.

This game has a score of 4.9.

Whether it is a good review or a bad review, you can see it directly.

The software page will even remind users what data this software may collect, and provide information such as the developer of this software.

"…This is too convenient. If my phone has this function, I won't download those rubbish mobile games."

Cheng Lin looked at the software page and immediately thought of his experience of being cheated by rubbish mobile games some time ago.

At this moment.

He finally understood why there were Future S1 users who said that many developers of Jiaming Alliance went to Jiaming Alliance because they couldn't make it in Future S1!

The ecology of the two is really different.

At this moment.

Cheng Lin was really moved.

The appearance, system, ecology of the mobile phone...

As the experience deepened, more and more points attracted him.

Many humanized designs that can only be felt through personal experience are full of surprises.

He felt that the Jiaming Alliance mobile phone he was using was getting worse and worse...

so soon...

Cheng Lin, who had just wanted to come and take a look, looked at his girlfriend, and walked towards the polite staff together to ask about relevant matters.

On the other side.

At the same time that Cheng Lin pulled his girlfriend towards the staff.

A figure wearing a baseball cap.

Walked into the store.

He was Yu Tianbo, the helmsman of Tianyu.

Ever since Linmu Studio announced that Future S1's offline store would open soon, he had been wondering what the impact would be.

But he never figured it out.

So on the opening day.

He gritted his teeth and simply came to the scene himself.

As for why he covered his face. It

's very simple.

He was afraid of being recognized.

After all, they are competitors, and it would not sound good if it was spread out.

And seeing Future S1's direct store from a distance, to be honest.

He was also shocked.

This is... too luxurious, right?

Tianyu also has direct stores.

So he also has a certain concept of the cost of offline stores.

As for the cost of Future S1 direct-sale store, he observed it and the figures he got were really scary.

Can this really recover the cost?

Yu Tianbo was skeptical about this.

"So why invest so much to open a store? This cost... Their mobile phones are mainly sold online. They will be closed in a year, right?"

Yu Tianbo took a look outside, muttered to himself, and then walked in.

When

he walked inside, his cost estimate for this store doubled again.

But he had to admit that

it was really comfortable to stay inside...

He walked around casually without trying out the mobile phone.

He had tried the mobile phone a long time ago. This time, he was more concerned about the impact of offline stores on Jiaming Alliance and exploring the source of his uneasiness.

But.

After walking around.

He still didn't figure out the source of his uneasiness.

Until.

He saw four long lines.

Yu Tianbo came to the back of the line, looked forward, and found that it was the checkout line.

He frowned as he watched four cashiers collect money and queue up, with many people waiting at the end.

At this moment,

Cheng Lin pulled his girlfriend past him and went to queue up to check out.

"You really don't know until you use it. It's really better than Jiaming Alliance! You'll know after you try it. Let alone other things, the software alone feels like it beats Jiaming Alliance's phones! My current phone was advertised as a high-end model by Tianyu... Haha, the system applications and mobile games are all garbage!"

Cheng Lin said this to his girlfriend.

But

Yu Tianbo also heard it.

In an instant,

a chill ran along his spine, all the way up, straight to the top of his head!

At that moment,

Yu Tianbo finally realized

where his uneasiness came from.

He turned his head sharply and looked at the users who were trying out the phone.

Those users who frequently widened their eyes, occasionally took a breath of cold air, and even took out the Jiaming Alliance phone in their pockets for comparison.

The pupils were shaking wildly!

Sorry, I watched one game last night, the only one I watched in the entire World Cup...but I stayed up too late and really couldn't finish writing.
