Chapter 169 Unify the entire region? Unify the whole server!
When "Stay After School: Pinball Storm" was developed, it was actually positioned as a multiplayer online casual party game.
The so-called party games refer to games such as "Jelly Bean Man", "Hot Kitchen", "Goose and Duck" and "Humanity Fails".
The painting style is quite cute, and since they are all primary school students, the characters look quite cute.
The game is more casual in nature!
Because the main theme is a childhood nostalgia, invite a few friends to play black and white marbles together, and regain the feeling of childhood while laughing and playing.
Yes……
Chen Ba swore to God that he really thought and did this at first.
But the result was beyond his expectation.
It is obviously a casual party game that focuses on relaxing and having fun, but does the current game environment really have anything to do with "leisure"?
Leisure?
If you don’t have ambitions and don’t want to be the master of the server with one person and more than ten thousand people, then you can play whatever you want. This game is indeed quite casual and neither boring nor expensive.
But if you have ambitions for the throne of server dominance and want to experience the feeling of playing an official server as a private server, then this game has nothing to do with leisure.
A perfect Machiavellian strategy game!
Moreover, these machinations are all player-versus-player, not like other strategy games where you beat up heartless human-machine AI.
Players of this game are very discerning.
Everyone is a careerist, and everyone is eyeing the throne of the "principal". If you want to fight your way out of this environment, you must have extraordinary courage and resourcefulness.
The background of the game is in a primary school, and the students in the school are all players.
Originally, everyone was just students, and they could play whatever they wanted, but since someone set a precedent and became the principal as a player, dominating the resources and players of the entire server, everyone's ambitions were out of control.
Take District 3 as an example.
Tianba Third Primary School was the first to ignite the flames of war, and it was also the area with the largest number of active players and the most frequent dynasty changes.
After the Ghost Emperor was defeated and abdicated.
[Cherry Pie Pie Jam] This female player has to be said to be very capable. Through her black stocking photos, she has won over a large number of loyal thugs.
She has the authority to give benefits to her players, which is a sign of abundant financial resources. She has the authority to mute opponents and careerists, making them unable to speak in the chat channel. This is a great advantage in the public opinion field.
These two points, combined with the "Cherry Guards" she formed, can be said to be a strong force in the third district, occupying the absolute right to speak.
But she is not without her resisters.
With so many players in the third area, it is impossible for everyone to be her licking dog. If there is oppression, there will be resistance. There are as many as a dozen rebellious players.
The largest among them is the restoration faction that supports [Brother Ba’s Little Sweet Wife] to regain the throne. And the Tianshu Sect, which claims to be orthodox and is ordered by Brother Ba to fight to end the troubled times.
There are many of these forces.
But having said that, the Empress [Cherry Pie Pie Jiang] learned from the lessons of her previous predecessors and actively grabbed the public opinion spotlight by posting in the Tianba community. Not only did she have the support of a large number of licking dogs, but there was also a group of loyal female players who also supported her. .
These rebellious player forces are originally a mess. Unless they unite together, they will never be able to defeat the powerful [Cherry Pie Jam].
"The third district is the finale!"
Chen Ba said with emotion: "[Cherry Cake Jam] is so good at playing. She has won the hearts of the people. With the support of licking dogs and female fans, this position is completely secure."
Unless she was betrayed or assassinated, Chen Ba really couldn't think of the possibility of her losing this position.
"really!"
"District Three, which has been in chaos for so long, can finally calm down for a while."
Yang Dong nodded and said: "But compared with the five districts, this is nothing. The five districts have already staged a marble version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms."
"District Five?"
When Chen Ba heard this word, he couldn't help but wonder: "What happened to the fifth district? From what you say, there are many authority marbles appearing in the fifth district?"
"Yes, there are three in total!"
Yang Dong explained: "Because the permission marbles appeared on the same day, the three players have basically the same permissions in this server, and no one can do anything about the other."
As the saying goes, triangles are the most stable structures!
If there are only two authority marbles, then the two players will definitely regard each other as their biggest competitors and fight to the death in this area.
Or maybe it's like [Ghost Hunter] and [Cherry Pie Jam], where the weaker side develops secretly and waits patiently for the day when the Dragon King counterattacks...
But three authority marbles appeared at once, and the identities of all three were exposed. It was impossible to hide them, and the situation became very delicate.
Player A has developed a wave, and the national power is strong, which means that the level of Marble Soul has risen relatively high. Then I'm sorry, the remaining players B and C will definitely join forces.
We are all Chinese and have learned the same knowledge since childhood. It is impossible for us not to understand the principle that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold.
So this leads to the fact that the fifth district obviously has three forces, but it is the quietest and most "singing and dancing" district.
Don't ask, asking is a check and balance!
The three authorized players, because none of them unified the entire district, did not dare to claim the throne like other districts, but instead claimed the throne.
The three of them also have a tacit understanding.
When the titles of King of Wei, King of Shu and King of Wu spread to the Tianba community, all the players in other areas laughed.
OK OK!
If you want to play like this, then I won't rebel. Today I must be Zhuge Liang and help the lord unify the whole region.
"Huh? Players from area five are so..."
Chen Ba burst into laughter, not knowing how to describe the strange environment in the fifth district.
Players in other districts have revolted one after another. The main theme is an emperor taking turns to sit. This year when I came to my house, the rebel slogans were shouted loudly.
On the other hand, looking at the fifth district...
Perhaps it's because all the ambitious people have gone to District Three to be troublemakers, so the people in District Five are all loyal and good people!
Not only did they have no intention of rebellion, but they turned into staff and strategists and assisted the three lords of Wei, Shu and Wu, giving them advice and plans to unify the entire region.
"What about role-playing here?"
After thinking about it, Chen Ba couldn't help but laugh and said: "The three kings of Wei, Shu and Wu stand side by side, so who is Zhuge Liang, who is Zhou Yu, and who is Sima Yi?"
Historically, Cao Wei had the last laugh.
But in the game "Don't Leave After School", no one knows who will have the last laugh until the end. The records in the history books do not represent the future development of the game.
Perhaps in the fifth district, Zhuge Liang won a complete victory in the Northern Expedition, and the King of Shu had the last laugh, realizing the wishes of countless people?
"Don't mention it. In the five districts, the King of Shu is indeed the most powerful and has the most dog-headed military advisors..."
Yang Dong smiled and said: "What is the alliance with Wu against Wei? In the fifth district, there is only alliance with Wei against Shu. This can be enough to film a season of "New Three Kingdoms"!"
"What about other districts?"
After talking about the Three Kingdoms in the five districts, Chen Ba suddenly became curious about other districts and wanted to know what the situation was like in other districts.
"Don't Leave After School" has five zones.
Among them, the first, second and third areas are the national server, the fourth area is the overseas server and console server, and the fifth area is a new area after the game was too popular.
The dragon lurks in the abyss in the second district, the empress in the third district suppresses all demons and monsters, and the three kingdoms in the fifth district stand tall, then the problem arises.
What's going on in Districts 1 and 4?
"In the barbaric era of Zone 1, a group of players are playing the "Soul of Pinball" mode without sleep, waiting to explode the national pinball! "
"There was a traditional marble in the fourth district, but this guy changed hands and sold it..."
"sold?!"
Hearing this, Chen Ba subconsciously widened his eyes: "What do you mean? How did he sell it?"
“The U.S. dollar is too tempting!”
Yang Dong shook his head and sighed: "Things in games are illusory after all. People always have to run around for food, clothing, housing and transportation."
The player who broke the news about the legendary marbles gave up the idea of dominating the game and became the king. Instead, he listed it on a certain game item trading platform and sold it for US$200,000.
"Holy shit! $200,000?"
Chen Ba was stunned.
He guessed that this marble might be valuable. After all, it was not an ordinary game prop. The price of an ordinary game prop could not be compared with the GM authority of a popular game.
But the sale of 200,000 US dollars, equivalent to more than one million yuan, was beyond his expectations.
"Is this expensive?"
"I remember some props or costumes from popular online games, and some of them cost over a million, right?" Yang Dong was confused.
200,000 US dollars sounds like a lot, but in the gaming industry it’s really nothing. After all, there are a lot of game props and game accounts worth over a million.
Why is Brother Ba so surprised?
Seeing that he didn't seem to respond, Chen Ba quickly explained: "Is it expensive? As for the scoring game, ours is not a free online game, but a buy-out game."
"And the most important thing is that the number of players in our game is actually only a fraction of those popular online games."
A game with a buyout system and not many active players is no match for those super popular online games. But a game item can actually be sold for a sky-high price of US$200,000?
This is incredible!
However, he was surprised. In fact, Chen Ba was very worried about the news that this authorized marble was resold by a player and sold for US$200,000.
This permission marble represents not only a game prop, but also some administrator permissions for the game "Don't Leave After School".
If other game companies get it and deliberately destroy it, it will be really troublesome...
"Don't worry, I'm watching!"
After Yang Dong learned of Brother Ba's concerns, Wen Yan comforted him: "As far as I know, the player who bought this permission marble is a rich second generation foreigner."
"Rich second generation?"
"Yes! The second generation of a rich family, he bought this marble just to build up a force in the game and continue to be a master."
At this point, Yang Dong seemed to have thought of something, and quickly added: "He turned the four districts into private servers, and won over a large number of players by spreading money and giving benefits."
This is a really rich guy!
The other areas are filled with ordinary players. Even if they get the corresponding permission marbles, they still play like a house.
This rich guy is different. He has money in real life and power in the game...
And the combination of these two things means that the number of players he can win over in the game is beyond everyone's imagination.
It is no exaggeration to say that the emperors of other districts are all fake and cannot deserve the title of unifying the whole district.
But this rich man truly dominates the entire region, and he is the one who dominates the four regions. There are more than 50,000 players in the entire four regions, basically all of them are members of his guild and receive the benefits he distributes.
"Brother Ba, if you go to the Fourth District to talk, you might not be able to talk to him as much as you can!"
Yang Dong joked: "This is a true earth emperor! He single-handedly supports the whole server, you have to accept it..."
"That's true!"
Chen Ba nodded.
A rich guy like this who single-handedly supports the entire server, and holds marbles that represent GM authority, can indeed dominate the entire region.
But this is a good thing!
Some people use their own money to provide benefits to players. Chen Ba is too late to be happy. How can he dampen the enthusiasm of such a rich guy?
After driving him away, where can I find such a rich man who can support the entire server by himself?
"This player must serve him well, and we can't let the enemy get away!"
Chen Ba smiled and warned: "One person can support the whole server. I didn't expect such injustice to happen in a buyout game... Shenhao."
"Ha ha!"
Yang Dong, who guessed what Brother Ba wanted to say, smiled and said: "I will definitely pay close attention to this kind of player. But he made a request, and I don't know how to answer it."
"any request?"
"The fourth area is his back garden, and he is a little unhappy, so he wants us to launch a cross-area PK function..."
Damn it, are you so big-hearted?
Not content with unifying the entire region, he actually wants to further expand the scale of his power and unify the entire game?
Chen Ba was also stunned by the idea of this player who took advantage of him.
How dare you think about cross-region PK!
Having more than 50,000 players in the fourth district sounds like a lot, but compared with the districts in the national server, especially the third district, it is simply a remote and small suburb.
To paraphrase historical terms, the 1, 2, 3, and 5 districts of the national server are the Central Plains, while the fourth district is at most considered a Southern Barbarian or Huns, and is a marginal OB character.
Do you dare to start a cross-regional war?
"broken!"
While Chen Ba admired this player's boldness, he suddenly thought of something.
Although this foreign player's idea is bold, he must also admit that now is the best time.
The four districts of the national server are basically in a state of chaos, and no district has achieved a true unification of all forces.
This is really the best time to carry out the invasion of the Southern Barbarians and the plunder of the Huns!
After all, there is civil strife in the Central Plains. If you don't take this opportunity to take action, why don't you wait for the countries in the Central Plains to gather strength and take action against their four districts?
"Okay, okay!"
Chen Ba saw the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal. When he thought of this, he immediately clapped his hands and applauded: "You will send a server-wide announcement later to tell all players that we are about to launch an exciting cross-region pinball PK mode."
He is best at fanning the flames.
The launch of the cross-region mode will definitely make the environment in several regions of the national server more tense and exciting.
After all, the fight for the throne is a fight for the throne. No one wants to be invaded by foreign enemies and lead to the destruction of the country. Just like Chongzhen and hang it on the crooked neck tree!
