Chapter 192 The evaluation is: worth buying!
In addition, Azazel also retains a final trump card.
But there is no need to use this secret weapon for the time being. It will not be too late to use it when we really find signs that the game may be profitable.
In short, Azazel followed the online discussion of "Henggang Middle School Simulation" with the feeling of being sure of victory.
However, at this moment, Huang Wang, who was changing channels in a daze, suddenly widened his eyes and said, "Eh? Mr. Sa! Look at this!"
Azazel closed the forum interface he just opened and turned to look at Huang Wang's display screen.
This is an anchor that Azazel has never followed before, "Brother David". At this time, he is live broadcasting "Henggang Middle School Simulation".
Looking at the popularity in the live broadcast room, Azazel was shocked. The popularity was so high?
Will not have any problems?
But then I thought about it, it shouldn’t be a big problem, the quality of this game is there!
Even if a big anchor plays it, it will only cause more people to be tricked into contributing negative emotions, and it is unlikely to have any reversal effect on the game's reputation and sales.
Huang Wang turned on the small Bluetooth speaker on the desktop and turned up the volume so that Azazel could hear what the anchor was saying.
If it is an anchor like Lecturer Ding, he should silently remove the camera at this time, light a cigarette, and then start analysis.
But Wang Dawei didn't smoke, so he paused for a moment and then began to summarize his gaming experience.
“First of all, let’s give this game a score. My personal score is 5, which is lower than the passing line.
“Because this game has many problems that are visible to the naked eye. As I said before, as a business simulation game, the gameplay itself is too simple!
"At first glance, the system and gameplay in this game are quite rich, but after careful study, you will find that there is actually only one solution to this game, unless you don't care whether the school can be upgraded at all.
“Furthermore, the operation of this game is also very cumbersome, and many functions are designed to be anti-human.
“Although this game did earn me a lot of airplanes and rockets, I have to tell the truth, it’s actually quite boring!
"As a host, you change the names of students one by one and then correct their disciplinary violations. This does have some program effects, but it is only more fun when it is broadcast live. For ordinary players, this behavior becomes cumbersome and It’s meaningless again!
"In addition to this, there are various bugs in this game, and it can be seen at a glance that they are caused by the lack of ability of the project team's programmers. There is even a vicious bug where "players mysteriously disappear after the last place is eliminated" , seriously affecting the game mechanics.
"As I said before, Hellfront's designers are far behind those of Inverse Heaven. Hell's Frontline is obviously purely incompetent, so it made such a boring game!"
Hearing this, Huang Wang sighed, while Azazel was overjoyed.
The demon from hell felt like he had met his soulmate.
Look, look, what this anchor said is so good!
That’s indeed it!
Azazel can completely guess what the anchor is going to say next. It is nothing more than to say that if you are interested, just give it a try and don't buy it.
In this way, players' trial play will still contribute negative emotions, but it will not generate sales. As long as the game loses money, the contract signed by Azazel and Lilith will not be effective.
Then everything will go according to Azazel's plan.
However, the corners of Azazel's mouth had just raised halfway when he heard Wang Dawei change his subject and say the word "but".
"but!
"This game reflects some real-life problems in a strange way!
"After playing it again, I suddenly realized that the whole process of this game is just the "History of the Family of Henggang Middle School"?
"This game will obviously make us think a lot, although this is not the designer's intention!"
Azazel was stunned: "Huh?"
Wang Dawei paused for a moment and continued: "In the game, Henggang Middle School was just an ordinary high school at the beginning; and Henggang Middle School in reality is not like this? In fact, Henggang Middle School in reality became a super middle school. The path is exactly the same as the path in the game!
“What do we do in the game?
“Strict management and expulsion of all poor students who refuse to change despite repeated admonitions;
“Concentrate all teachers in key classes and strategically abandon poor students:
“After the school has made a name for itself, it charges high school selection fees, raises prices in canteens and canteens, and increases education funding;
“Give all teachers high performance-based salaries to improve their teaching quality while also making them willing to strictly implement high-pressure management policies;
“The students’ rest time is squeezed to the extreme, making them study all day long in addition to sleeping and eating. They even have to remove the chairs in the cafeteria to further compress their eating time;
“Recruit a large number of repeat students, and at the same time carefully select the students and admit outstanding students from all over the country;
“They even used BUG to find ways to make all poor students disappear, thereby further increasing the admission rate...
“And in reality, can almost all super middle schools find a counterpart in this?
"Of course, some super middle schools in some areas do not fully meet these points. For example, although some high schools have extremely high admission rates, they do not operate rogue cafeterias and do not even provide students with a place to sit while eating. These high schools can also engage in many colorful extracurricular activities.
“But what is this based on?
“It is based on the fact that their education funds are very sufficient, the quality of their students is excellent, and the competition in the entire province is not fierce!
“If you fail to achieve any of these three points, it won’t work!
"The Henggang model was born under the circumstances of limited educational funds, average student quality, and fierce competition within the province. Therefore, everything will lead to an inevitable result!"
A bunch of "yes"s flashed across the barrage instantly.
Since Wang Dawei often talks live about Olympiad questions and college entrance examination questions, many of the viewers in his live broadcast room are students.
Even if they are not students, they generally have high academic qualifications, and most of them have taken the college entrance examination.
These people obviously have a relatively deep understanding of the college entrance examination.
Everyone also knows very well where some of the "super middle schools that can engage in rich and colorful extracurricular activities in high schools" that Wang Dawei mentioned are located. There is no doubt that they are in the Imperial Capital!
Anyway, it cannot be a populous province that exists in the Central Plains.
What are the college entrance examination factories in these populous provinces like? I can only say that everyone understands.
I can’t say it’s not that different from the game, I can only say it’s exactly the same.
Wang Dawei continued: "So, here comes the interesting point!
“This game inadvertently puts players in the same situation as Henggang Middle School in real life, and players naturally make the same decisions as Henggang Middle School under the constraints of the game mechanism!
"Before playing this game, when it comes to Henggang Middle School, everyone talks about it. Especially for those of us students who passed the college entrance examination, when we think of high school, we will naturally think of some painful memories. , maybe even have some hatred towards the teacher and the principal.
“But this game provides us with an opportunity to put ourselves in someone else’s shoes and make the exact same decision when we sit in the principal’s seat.
“And this actually allows us to better understand the reasons why Henggang Middle School and various super middle schools exist.
"Let's think about it, in the game "Henggang Middle School Simulation", why do we only have this one way to pass the level? The reason is simple: we are limited by the game mechanism!
"In the game mechanism, if you want to upgrade a high school to become a district key, city key or even super high school, the most important thing is the admission rate and reputation value. And the reputation value is actually directly linked to the admission rate, because every time after the college entrance examination After that, students who get TOP2 and students who get 985, 211 or even first class will be able to increase a lot of reputation points. The better the school, the higher the reputation points will be added!
“So, the enrollment rate has become the only criterion.
“In reality, the leaders of Henggang Middle School obviously knew this, so they made the same decision as the players.
"Strictly enforce discipline, squeeze students' time at all costs, recruit famous teachers from other schools with high salaries, charge high school selection fees, and recruit outstanding students from all over the country...
“Then a perfect cycle was established.
"Henggang Middle School doesn't need to do anything. It just needs to maintain this model so that its undergraduate rate can continue to rise and students' scores will hit new highs. Because it has reached the pinnacle of this model and can absorb students from all over the province. Excellent students, and then use the most extreme method to squeeze out everyone's potential, so that they can obtain the "most exam-ready" score.
“The irony is that no matter how high the scores of Henggang Middle School students are, the number of students admitted in the province will never change.
“This was just a meaningless involution from beginning to end.
"Did Henggang Middle School make a mistake? They said they just wanted to help students improve their grades. What's wrong with that?
"Are other schools wrong? They are forced to follow the model of Henggang Middle School, otherwise their admission rate will drop and they will be abandoned by parents and teachers. They say, there is nothing we can do.
"Are the parents wrong? They also want their children to get into a better university.
"Who is wrong? It seems that no one is wrong, but all students are still thrown into such a meaningless involution whirlpool. When they need to grow their bodies most, they do not have enough sleep and adequate nutrition. Many children Because I had to run to and from the canteen, eat while standing, and could only buy a few steamed buns to eat on the way, I got stomach problems. I even suffered severe mental trauma due to the high-pressure environment, which had an unknown and far-reaching impact on my future.
“This problem has actually always existed.
“It is a complex social issue, and everyone can put forward their own opinions, but it cannot be explained clearly by a game or a host.
"The precious thing about the game "Henggang Middle School Simulation" is that it allows us to rethink this problem from a different perspective and better understand the root cause of the problem.
"From this point of view, I think the developer of this game has done a lot of good deeds! Although he did it unintentionally, this kind of thing has always been done without regard for his intentions.
"So I think, considering that "Henggang Middle School Simulation" only costs 6 yuan, this game is worth buying!"
In front of the computer screen, Huang Wang and Azazel were stunned.
An expression of surprise appeared on Huang Wang's face. He didn't expect that this game would be rated as "worth buying"?
As for Azazel, he was completely petrified as if struck by lightning!
