Chapter 311 The final right of interpretation belongs to Tianba

Lao Ma’s entry has greatly increased the exposure and popularity of “The True Story of Aba” and Aba currency.

Maybe this is the celebrity effect!

As one of the world's richest people and hailed by many as the real-life "Iron Man", it is obvious that Ma's every move will attract worldwide attention.

Because of this, the sales of "Abba's Story" game skyrocketed again in just a few days, and the cumulative total sales volume has almost exceeded 18 million copies.

Of course, this is not the most important thing.

What is even more surprising is that the "Abba Coin" created by the game "Abba's True Story" has its latest transaction price reaching an astonishing US$800 per coin.

This also further stimulated the players.

Before, when one Abacoin could only be sold for 100-200 US dollars, everyone's enthusiasm for playing games was already very high.

After all, even if you only mine one Abacoin after playing the game for a day, it is better than working as a screwdriver. Based on the transaction price of $200 at the time, earning $1,000 a day is a super high salary that many people dare not even think about!

Now the price of Abacoin has been hyped up to 800 US dollars per coin, which is equivalent to nearly 5,500 RMB. What does this mean? If you can mine an Abacoin a day, you can easily earn tens of thousands of RMB in two days. In a month, your income can easily reach hundreds of thousands. It is not a dream to earn a million yuan a year!

Can you earn millions a year by playing games? In the past, except for professional e-sports players, no one would dare to think about this, but the emergence of "Abba's Story" has made this a reality.

So Chen Ba could understand why "The True Story of Abba" was so popular, with cumulative sales almost exceeding 20 million copies.

This is normal!

All you need is a computer and spend 198 to buy a game, and you can have a chance to earn a million dollars a year. Who wouldn’t be interested?

It's understandable, but for most players who followed the trend and bought "Abba's True Story" and tried to get rich by mining, they are destined to be disappointed.

Can't say I'm disappointed.

Abacoin can be mined, there is no obstacle to this. The only problem is that the output they imagine and the actual output are completely different.

Earn 5,000 or 6,000 yuan a day? You're dreaming!

If you play "Abba's Story" on a personal computer without any other equipment, you will probably have to encounter game bugs for a week without losing power or the Internet, before you can mine an Abba coin.

Moreover, this time is not fixed. It is one week now, but in a few days it may become two weeks, three weeks or even one month.

In other words.

Abacoin is indeed a new thing, but to be honest, the production threshold of this thing is lower than any other virtual cryptocurrency.

Have you ever seen millions or even tens of millions of people mining cryptocurrencies at the same time? "The threshold for obtaining Abacoin is too low. Because the threshold is so low, there are many players participating in mining."

Shaking his head, Huang Qing continued, "With so many people participating, and the total amount of Abacoins remaining the same, the output per person will naturally decrease."

"You're right, but that's human greed."

"It's useless to persuade them. When they work so hard for a long time and find that they can't even earn back the electricity bill, they will naturally give up."

Chen Ba thought about it, and finally added: "Of course, there is another possibility that the price of Abacoin will suddenly plummet, which will also dampen the enthusiasm of ordinary players."

Someone is now the banker of Abacoin.

This is something Chen Ba just discovered. An investor of unknown origin absorbed about 400,000 Aba coins in the market through methods such as placing orders for purchases.

That's a pretty staggering number.

Because there are less than 2 million Abacoins in circulation on the market, and his holdings alone account for more than 20% of the total circulation.

Moreover, this person is still continuously "absorbing" Abacoin chips. It seems that he wants to be the banker and control the entire Abacoin market.

"Isn't it Lao Ma?"

"It's possible, but it's not important."

Chen Ba shook his head: "Who cares who he is? Whoever wants to be the banker can be the banker. Anyway, we just need to stay out of it."

As long as they don't think of provoking Tianba Studio, Chen Ba is too lazy to pay attention to these speculators who like to hype and chase bubbles.

What? What if you provoke him? Haha, Chen Ba just wants to say that if he is really provoked, no matter what kind of dealer you are, no matter what your background is, no matter how many chips you have, he will just flip the table, understand? No one really thinks that Tianba Studio "turns a blind eye" to Abacoin, so they have no say and influence, right?

Don't forget! No matter what, Abacoin is something that was born out of the game "Abba's Story". Although Abacoin can exist independently outside the game, it is ultimately inseparable from "Abba's Story".

In other words.

The relationship between "Aba's Story" and Aba Coin is similar to the relationship between a mother and her son. Although after the son is born, he may not listen to his mother, do his own thing, or even never have any contact with her until he dies.

But is there a possibility that, as a mother, Chen Ba could choose to have an abortion and not let the baby in her belly be born? "Whether it's "The True Story of Aba" or Aba Coin, the final right of interpretation is in our hands."

Chen Ba smiled and said, "We really can't interfere with too many Abacoin transactions, but we can prevent the birth of new Abacoins. We can even use the same source code to create an identical Aniu coin with a different name..."

Therefore, whether they are speculators, ambitious people with ulterior motives, miners or mine owners who are obsessed with money, they had better have some vision and not be shameless.

If they really think they can control everything about Abacoin, have no respect for Tianba Studio, and act recklessly, then Chen Ba will punish them and let them know what they can and cannot do.

certainly!

Generally speaking, Chen Ba would not turn the table over. After all, if he did, these speculators would suffer a loss, but it would also affect many innocent ordinary players.

Moreover, everyone is smart and no one will disrespect Brother Ba.

Haven't you noticed that Xianyu Digital's business has been many times better recently? Many customers come to buy Mirage Electronics' "Batian" series graphics cards, and they buy dozens or even hundreds of them.

Who are these people? The answer is the mine owners. They are here to pay protection fees because they are also worried that when they mine Aba coins in "Aba's True Story", they will be reported or even bullied by the petty-minded Brother Ba.

So, these mine owners thought about buying a batch of "Batian" graphics cards for mining.

As we all know, the Batian series of graphics cards are designed and manufactured by Zhonghai Mirage Electronics, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jiangning Tianba Company.

I used Tianba’s graphics card to mine in Tianba’s games. Brother Tianba couldn’t do anything to me, or even do something secretly, right? It turns out that they did the right thing.

These mine owners were so respectful to Chen Ba that the protection fee was paid before Chen Ba even asked for it. Chen Ba was too embarrassed to report them.

He had already made a list. After all, the game was theirs. By calling the data in the background, these mining bosses could be found. On this list were some mining bosses who had transformed and started mining Abacoin.

The list was almost submitted.

Fortunately, these people paid their protection fees on time, otherwise, when Chen Ba handed in this list, I'm afraid many people would be invited for tea.

…

"Abba's Story" is the most popular game this year, no doubt about it.

After all, this is the only game on the market that can mine virtual cryptocurrency, and there is no second similar game. It is hard not to be popular.

And below "The Legend of Abba", the second-ranked game is "Don't Leave After School: Marble Storm", which was transferred to the server and operated, maintained and managed by the players themselves.

This game has been very popular before, and its average number of online players has always been at the top of the list. Even at three or four in the morning on weekdays, there are millions of players online at the same time.

Ever since Tianba Studio handed over the servers to the player committees of each region and the game has completely entered the era of "player autonomy", the number of online players has reached a new height.

Not long ago, the Game Committee of District 3 planned an event called "Sign in and get limited edition carbon fiber marbles."

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

This event is very popular! Because this is a carbon fiber marble, and marbles made of this material are very rare in the game.

What? Carbon fiber marbles don't exist?

Just because something doesn't exist in reality doesn't mean it doesn't exist in the game. In fact, in the game "Don't Leave After School", everything can be made into marbles.

Not to mention carbon fiber, aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, aviation-grade materials, nanomaterials, graphene...all can be made into marbles.

Don't ask, just ask the game features! In short, this carbon fiber marble is very attractive, just like the two-dimensional mobile game that gives away limited five-star characters for free, it attracts many players to sign in online.

Then, the server crashed.

The players in zone three were confused. They originally wanted to scold Brother Ba and drag out Brother Ba's potato server to whip his corpse again, but they changed their minds.

That's not right! The game server has been handed over to the Player Committee. If you want to blame someone, blame the Player Committee. Why blame Brother Ba? Brother Ba doesn't care about anything! Due to the server crash, many people were unable to log in to the game to receive the rewards they deserved during the event, so this matter was a big deal. The Player Committee also stepped in to appease and explain the situation as soon as possible.

According to the explanation of the Game Committee, the servers of Zone 3 are stored in the computer room of Tianba Studio and are maintained and managed by a dedicated person appointed by the Game Committee.

The server crash this time was simply due to too many people accessing the game at the same time, causing the server to be overwhelmed, which resulted in the inability to log into the game.

Huh? The server is overloaded? At first, the players in zone 3 didn't buy this explanation, because they had been using the same server for so many years, how could it suddenly be overloaded?

However, the Playable Committee listed a data showing that in the past six months, the total number of players in the three districts has increased from 340,000 to 580,000.

These are just active players, that is, players who log in at least once a day on average and sign in continuously.

If we count those who only log in every now and then and play less frequently but still persist in playing, there are probably millions of people like this.

Under normal circumstances, everyone plays at different times. Some people go online during the day, some at night, and some in the early morning. Although the server is under pressure, it can survive.

But because this event was so popular, not only did everyone flock to it, but some old players also returned and new players joined...

So the server crashed.

To solve this problem, a new set of servers needs to be added, which is a huge expense and needs to be shared by players in the three zones.

What happened in District 3 just illustrates how popular "Don't Leave After School: Marble Storm" is nowadays.

It can be said that the status of this game in the PC gaming circle is almost equivalent to that of League of Legends or CrossFire ten years ago.

certainly!

As the game became so popular, the built-in advertising business of "Don't Leave After School" naturally also developed rapidly.

In the first half of this year, Chen Ba took 324 million yuan in commissions alone! However, due to well-known reasons, the commission taken by Tianba Studio is not very high, and the majority of it is distributed to the majority of players.

Therefore, the advertising expenses of "Don't Go After School" in the first half of the year must be at least 2 billion! This is amazing.

You have to know that it has only been half a year, and there are only ten game districts in total, but on average each district can earn hundreds of millions in advertising fees.

"What's so strange about this?"

CEO Huang Qing was quite calm about Chen Ba's fuss. In his words, the frequency and quantity of advertisements for "Don't Leave After School" were very high, and advertisers also loved to advertise here, so it was not surprising at all that the program had such a scale.

Taking the current market price as an example, spending four or five million yuan can almost allow you to place an advertisement in one district of "Don't Leave After School" for a month, with the cumulative effective exposure number not less than 10 million times.

If you are an advertiser and you have a need to advertise, and you can achieve this effect with 4 or 5 million, will you come and place an advertisement? To put it bluntly.

In Huang Qing’s opinion, the unit price of the advertising space for “Don’t Leave After School” is actually a bit low.

The players of Don't Leave After School are probably a group of 20-40 years old, with half men and half women. As long as your product is marketed to this group, it will be worthwhile for you to spend four or five million to put an advertisement in the game.

Even spending four or five million for a month of advertising and guaranteeing an effective exposure rate of at least ten million times is too cheap.

Even if it doubles, I estimate that there will still be a large number of advertisers flocking to it.

This is such a great deal!

For the same price, can you get such good results by advertising on other advertising platforms, such as a short video software?

No users of any other platform are as "tolerant" and "welcoming" towards advertisements as the players of "Don't Leave After School".

Advertisers who place advertisements here not only enjoy good results and high returns, but also enjoy the distinguished treatment of being called "sponsor" by hundreds of thousands of players in a district.

To be honest, advertisers are not fools. If someone is truly good to them, how can they not feel it? Once they place an advertisement in "Don't Leave After School", they will most likely not leave. The contract will be renewed for two to three years at least!

Do you understand the value of beverage manufacturers such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and Red Bull each sponsoring a regional server and then participating in cross-regional competitions?
