Chapter 181 Cherry Dynasty, 70 Years of Age!

Players played the game without spending a penny, and even made money from the game.

Tianba Studio makes a profit from each game sold and charges as much money as it should, and its deserved profits are not reduced as a result.

The advertisers did not lose money either. The exposure of the ads they placed met the targets and achieved the expected advertising effects, which were even better than expected.

So here comes the question!

Who loses out?

Chen Ba didn't know who lost money at first, and thought it was a win-win situation for all three parties. But he didn't know who lost money until he was reported.

Other advertising platforms are losing money!

Every company has a limited advertising budget, and it is impossible to advertise indefinitely. Since the budget is limited, if you advertise in "Don't Leave After School", you will naturally have to reduce advertising investment on other platforms.

So...

Tianba Studio has become the most unwelcome rat in the advertising industry.

You said that you are a game developer and it is understandable that you accept advertising. After all, there are so many channels for advertising and it doesn't matter who accepts it.

But why do you want to share the money with the players? Isn't this breaking the rules?

"Damn Chen Ba, why is he so disgusting? He doesn't even eat, but he ruins other people's jobs. Is this what a human being would do?"

The advertising manager of a portal website was so angry that he smashed two ashtrays when he learned that one of his advertisers had fled and the culprit turned out to be a casual puzzle game.

What a sin! He has been in the Internet advertising business for nearly 20 years, and has never seen an advertising platform more disgusting than "Don't Leave After School".

Why don't you charge advertising fees for others, and even share the advertising fees with users? Do you do this? Ba Chong is a good guy, which makes him look great, but what about others? What about others? "Don't Leave After School" swept the advertising industry like a plague. Advertisers like this model because advertising here is not only effective, but users also affectionately call them "gold sponsors".

Users also like this model. After all, they get a share of the advertising fees, so why not like it?

Please give me more money, I will definitely buy from you next time. I will only buy from you brand!

However, these Internet companies, which used to be overwhelmed with advertising and relied on advertising for profit, were so overwhelmed by this novel model that they wanted to fly to Jiangning and burn down Tianba Studio.

It's a shame for you and your industry! Many people are so angry that they want to bite their tongues, but it's hard to say anything because advertisers and users are happy with it. If you don't agree, who do you think you are?

In fact, those who have been hit the hardest are not the Internet companies that rely on advertising for profits, but the games that have various advertisements built into the games.

This is what true companionship is!

In a certain "legend-like" mindless pay-to-win game with ads everywhere and pop-up ads running rampant, the guild leader who has spent more than 200,000 yuan on pay-to-win games can no longer stand this brainless game.

This kind of game is not friendly to players who spend little or no money, so not many people play it.

The "Divine Realm" guild he founded has only 170 members in total.

But these 170 people have been reduced to 41 in the past two months. The rest have all announced Away from keyboard, which is commonly known as the A game.

These players who ran away couldn't stand the endless pay-to-win activities of this crappy game, and most importantly, there were too many advertisements in this game.

Don't want to watch ads? You can! Buy a lifetime card worth 198 yuan and you can skip the ads.

This game uses "not watching ads" as a way to spend money, which is absolutely amazing and has disgusted countless people.

However, most of the games on the market are similar. You either have to spend time on them or spend money on them. There is not much to choose from. You can play them just to kill time.

But with the sudden emergence of "Don't Leave After School", many zero-spending or even small-spending players were shocked to find that they didn't have to suffer such grievances, and it turned out that they could get money by watching ads?

What the hell is going on? The players in the guild left one after another, and as the guild leader, the gaming experience naturally declined.

He couldn't stand it anymore. He only cared about two things when playing games: lots of people and being the center of attention! Now this game is almost dead, and most people have left. What's the point of him spending millions of dollars? He's gone. He's going to fight for the throne of "Don't Leave After School".

Little-known fact: the big spenders will follow the small spenders and zero spenders.

When a game gathers a large number of small-spending or zero-spending players, there is no doubt that this game must have a lot of top-spending players who support the entire server.

The same goes for "Don't Leave After School".

With the influx of a large number of players, the news that the game would soon become free came out. Chen Ba was shocked to find that there were actually more wealthy players in this game.

Among the five regions and servers, there were only four regions where the wealthy foreigners could support one server at a time.

But now, Districts 1, 2, and 5 have all seen the emergence of wealthy players with "amazing financial resources". They have gathered people's hearts through various benefits and started to attack the throne of this district.

“Why isn’t there a third district?”

Xiao Lu was very curious. Since other districts had super-rich people, it made sense that District 3, as the most popular district, wouldn't have any super-rich people, right? "There are some in District 3!"

"You also said that District 3 is the most popular district, so there must be more than one rich man at the server-raising level."

Chen Ba shook his head and said, "With so many super-rich people gathered together, do you think District 3 will be as quiet as usual?"

"By the way, I have some bad news to tell you! Your goddess, Cherry Pancake Sauce, who has ruled three districts for 70 days, officially announced that she has found a boyfriend." Chen Ba joked.

"No... this is impossible!"

Xiao Lu said with despair on his face: "Brother Ba, you are lying to me, right? How could my empress have a boyfriend?"

"Why would I lie to you..."

Chen Ba shook his head and said, "Go to Tianba Community and check the popular posts. It's officially announced, so how can it be fake?"

Xiao Lu didn't believe it, so he opened the web version of Tianba Community and checked out today's popular posts.

It turned out to be true! [Cherry Pie Jiang] shared the good news in the community and introduced her boyfriend.

It turned out that she and her boyfriend met through the game "Don't Leave After School". Thanks to her boyfriend's silent support behind the scenes, she was able to control the overall situation in District 3 and avoid being overthrown.

Her boyfriend is a rich second-generation.

It is hard to say how rich he is, but Cherry Biscuit Sauce said that since many wealthy people suddenly came to District 3, the competition for the throne has become confusing.

She thought she couldn't control the situation, so she chose to abdicate and give the position to her boyfriend, letting him fight with these "dragons coming from across the river".

The Cherry Dynasty is over! The goddess in the hearts of countless players, the empress who created the Cherry Dynasty for 70 years, chose to abdicate the throne to her boyfriend when the troubled times came.

District 3 has now entered the Warring States Period...

Chen Ba had actually met the player named Cherry Biscuit Jiang before. He also knew that this woman was very generous and that she was crowned empress most likely to attract rich men.

Finally, she caught it.

I have to say, she is very smart! Since she has caught a rich husband, and the situation in District 3 is getting more and more chaotic, she should quit while she is ahead. If she continues to stay in that position, she will probably end up in a bad way.

"Can this be called smart?"

"What else? You don't really think that with so many wealthy people entering the market, Cherry Biscuit can still sit firmly on the throne, right?"

Chen Ba rolled his eyes.

In the game "Don't Leave After School", although spending money can't change anything, having money can definitely make you dominate the game.

As long as you are willing to give out benefits, you will definitely be able to gather a large number of players around you. It is also spending money, but the money is not given to the game developers, but to other players.

That’s how the wealthy man in District 4 rose to power, successfully conquered District 4, and made the entire district a solid entity.

Cherry Biscuit Jiang's black stockings photos are certainly attractive, but compared with the money-spending offensive of the super-rich players, they are still a little lacking.

So she was wise.

Knowing that she would not be able to stay in this position for long, she quickly packed up her bags and ran away. Losing the money didn't matter, because she had already found a rich and powerful boyfriend.

According to the historical record method of "one day equals one year" of community players, [Cherry Pie Sauce] has been the overlord of three districts for 70 years, which is already very awesome.

A true emperor of all ages! Unfortunately, she didn’t live to see the day when “Don’t Leave After School” opened the in-app purchase channel and enjoyed the share of the recharge turnover in the region and server.

"She has already caught a rich husband, and she still needs this little share of the turnover?"

After her goddess image was shattered, Xiao Lu's opinion of her suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but slander her: "Compared to the profit sharing, marrying into a wealthy family is more attractive!"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"That's not necessarily true..."

"District Three is a popular district. After it became free, it has at least 500,000 players. The recharge turnover is distributed as a dividend at 5%, which is actually not a small amount." Chen Ba explained.

[Cherry Pancake Sauce] originally had an opportunity to become a wealthy family. If she could keep her footing and suppress these rebellious wealthy people, she would be the new wealthy family in the future.

But she chose to marry into a wealthy family.

I have to say, it’s quite a pity. Although both options are understandable, it’s really a pity to miss this opportunity.

In contrast, the rulers of Districts One, Two, and Five are more resolute in their determination.

Although a large number of wealthy people poured into this area, making their throne precarious, they did not think of retreating and insisted on suppressing these people.

They are gambling, gambling on the opportunity to turn their lives around and leap from ordinary people to wealthy people!

And this opportunity is obviously the dividend from the "recharge flow of this server" promised by Brother Ba.

…

In early March, the temperature gradually rose.

Just as spring is here and flowers are blooming, Tianba Studio released an update announcement through various channels, announcing that "Don't Leave After School: Marble Storm" will be transformed from a paid game to a free game.

After the announcement was issued, ordinary players have not reacted yet.

After all, everyone has already earned back the money they spent on the game, so whether the game is free or not, there is almost no loss to them.

Quite the opposite.

After the game becomes free, a large number of new players will definitely flock in. Not only will there be more advertisers, but advertising fees will also increase. You should be happy about this.

The ones who reacted the most actually came from the various regions and servers, from those ambitious people who were aiming for the throne and wanted to dominate a region alone.

Game partners! This mechanism has been launched for so long, but everyone has not seen the real dividends.

Now that the game has become free and introduced an in-app purchase system, game partners in all regions and servers can finally see dividends.

How much money can you get?

As the saying goes, benefits move people's hearts! If the money is small, then everyone's enthusiasm for competing for the throne will be greatly reduced. After all, it's just a small amount of money, not worth spending so much energy.

But if the money is huge and can change a person's social class in some sense, then it's different...

On the first day of the in-app purchase system's launch, countless eyes were staring at this in-app purchase krypton gold system, wanting to know how many players would recharge with krypton gold, and how much turnover a district could generate?

The same goes for Chen Ba.

He was actually very curious about the spending power of players in "Don't Leave After School" and how the sales of various costumes, monthly cards, and marble skins were. "It should be very good!"

Yang Dong said confidently: "Players have made money in the game, so it should be easy to open a monthly card."

It’s hard to say about fashion skins.

But everyone should open a monthly card. After all, for many players, 30 yuan is just a protection fee paid to Brother Ba.

Don’t pay this money?

Get lost now, you still want to share the advertising fee? If you don’t sign up for a monthly membership, Brother Ba will be merciful if he doesn’t block your account! “Here it comes…”

While the two were chatting, the first recharge in the game appeared.

In the blink of an eye, the backend recharge flow began to surge. Just as Yang Dong guessed, the number of players who opened monthly cards was the largest.

This really becomes protection money!

In just half an hour, the number of people who activated monthly cards in each district exceeded 10,000+, which means that in half an hour, the recharge flow in each district exceeded 300,000.

This means that if Chen Ba is a game partner in a certain district, he can get a recharge flow of 15,000 yuan within half an hour.

“It’s broken!”

Looking at the rising amount of recharge in the background, Yang Dong shook his head and said, "Now, the fight for the authority marbles is really going to be fierce."

What does it mean to earn 15,000 yuan in half an hour? A monthly salary of 15,000 yuan is a high-paying job that is hard for ordinary people to imagine. As long as you grab the authority marbles and become a game partner, you will lock in a ticket to earn millions or even tens of millions a year.

The benefits are attractive! The rich players may not care about this money, but for ordinary players, it is undoubtedly worth a desperate gamble.

There's nothing to lose if you fail.

But if you succeed, you can change your social class and live a happy life with luxury cars, houses, delicious food and spicy drinks...

"really!"

Chen Ba thought about it and decided that if he were an ordinary player with a monthly income of no more than 10,000 yuan, and there was such an opportunity in front of him, he would definitely give it a try.

After all, this is much more reliable than buying lottery tickets.

If you make an effort once, you may be able to save ten years or even decades of time and buy a car or a house in advance. Who wouldn’t be tempted?

certainly!

If you feel that you are weak and your chances of success are low, you can also support a "lord" and become a hero! Founding heroes are generally not treated too badly, unless you are unlucky and meet Zhu Yuanzhang...
