Chapter 1017 Happy April Fool's Day!
Whenever a new Yunmeng game is released, the player circle is like a festival.
This atmosphere will even overflow the player circle, causing quite a stir on the entire Internet and even in reality.
In some companies where the average age of employees is relatively low, [Yunmeng New Tour Release Date] is even similar to [Employees Collective Holiday], which is a very troublesome thing.
Of course, corresponding to this, there are also some companies that have already started to show off, and directly launched a matching leave system——
After the release date of Yunmeng's new game is confirmed, the employees can decide whether to swap this day with the nearest rest day.
There are even some young and small companies whose bosses are fanatical Yunmeng fans. As long as it is the release date of the new game, they will take a day off unconditionally.
This system has even become a recruitment benefit.
This is the case with Zhuifeng's company: Those who are willing to take a vacation will go on vacation directly, and those who still want to go to work will work overtime and pay extra wages.
This phenomenon is not unique to Daxia, and overseas countries are also similar.
And this is just a small aspect of the virtual world's influence on reality.
*
This is true for ordinary players, and even more so for anchors whose main business is live broadcasting.
No matter what the previous arrangement was, since Yunmeng's new game was released, the new game must be broadcast.
I didn't wait until 8:30, and at 7:30, looking at the game areas of the major live broadcast platforms, they were all chattering and waiting for the release of "Dark Soul".
What's more interesting is that the Yunmeng live broadcast platform was not limited to Daxia at the beginning, and now there are almost all anchors from all over the world.
As for the clock of the virtual house, many people will choose to set it to be consistent with the time in their own country.
This led to the fact that they were broadcasting live at the same time and broadcasting the same content, but some of them were in broad daylight outside the window, and some were in broad daylight at night.
If you search carefully, you can even gather anchors from 24 time zones around the world.
Of course, only Luo Tian would be happy because of this kind of thing. Players who are eagerly waiting for the new game to open, don't have this leisurely mood.
— at least not yet.
Right now, everyone is staring excitedly at that gray [Buy] button on the Dark Souls launch page, waiting for it to turn red.
Waiting for the last 10 seconds of the clock, A Yi even counted down loudly in the live broadcast room——
"10!"
"9!"
"8!"
He can't wait to get bigger.
Under his high enthusiasm, the water friends were also mobilized, and followed the barrage together:
"3!"
"2!"
"1!"
"Let's go!" A Yi tapped his finger on the panel frantically, wanting to press the [Buy] button immediately.
But he frantically clicked more than 30 times in 5 seconds with the fastest hand speed in his life, but the interface in front of him remained unchanged.
"What's the situation?" A Yi was very surprised, and poked the gray button a few more times in disbelief, "The Yunmeng server is stuck?"
This is also the first reaction of global players.
Although Yunmeng had never experienced such a situation before, it was indeed a more intuitive situation.
However, when A Yikuang clicked for a minute and there was no response, and none of the more than 8 million viewers in the live broadcast room successfully completed the purchase, the matter could not be explained by "server delay".
A question mark slowly appeared on A Yi's head.
He finally began to feel that something was wrong. While opening Lingxi, he asked the water friends in the live broadcast room:
"What's going on? Does anyone know what's going on?"
"Yunmeng server exploded?"
"Or is Lin You going crazy?"
...
The huge audience base in the live broadcast room quickly helped him find the reason——
"Look at the dynamics of the official account of "Chang'an"!"
"Fuck! Why don't you play April Fool's Day with grandpa here?"
"Damn it, I'm going to work!"
...
A Yi didn't need to look at the homepage of the official account of "Chang'an" at all, because as soon as he opened Lingxi, his homepage information flow was full of all kinds of reposts of the official account of "Chang'an" and expressing his feelings with elegant national curses. dynamic.
The dynamics posted by the official account of "Chang'an" are very simple, only five words——
[Happy April Fools' Day! ]
In contrast, players' reposts and comments are much more exciting:
"April Fool's Day? April Fool's Day? April Fool's Day? April Fool's Day??!"
"Fuck you second uncle! I have taken all my annual leave!"
"It's outrageous. Fortunately, it's 8 o'clock now, so I still have time to go to work, so I'm leaving."
"Yunmeng, you have betrayed my trust!"
"Urgent order: [Qili Utility Knife]*3, delivery address: Yunmeng Headquarters!"
"It seems that this bastard Lin You did something! Just wait for me! Come to your door now!"
"What the hell?! Are you kidding me?"
"cyka blyat!"
"Merde alors!"
...
At the beginning, there were all kinds of curses from Daxia players, but soon, netizens with IP addresses in America, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Russia, and France also appeared one after another, criticizing Lin You and "Chang'an" in the comment area. "Project Team.
Obviously, their April Fool's Day is not happy at all!
Seeing this torrent of public opinion, the employees of the development team were sweating coldly, for fear that the boss would play it off.
Qiao Nanyu was also deeply speechless at Lin You's behavior of playing with fire, sighed and came to the front desk again, telling everyone to get ready, maybe an hour later, there will be a continuous stream of packages from the same city.
These packages should contain razor blades, but they may also contain slanderous letters, and there may even be "door-to-door scolding" instead.
Everyone should be mentally prepared.
Then she called the property and security of the park to alert them.
In the end, I found Ye Xiaohe and asked her to post a post [Oh, the boss is fishing and not going to work today], telling the players: Lin You is not in the company today, if you want to find Lin You, go to his house directly, don't come to the company...
Anyway, no one knew where Lin You's family was.
Of course, not everyone knows it.
Yi knew it.
But now he was just dumbfounded, completely unexpected that Yunmeng would play this game.
After reacting, he didn't listen to the instigation of the water friends, and directly contacted Lin You to talk on the mic—he was not a fool.
He just sent a series of question marks to Lin You - after the "Metropolis News" ended, Lin You no longer rejected his messages.
And Lin You replied "shamelessly": [Surprised or not? Is it surprising? ]
"Surprise your uncle!" A Yi crazily complained.
But of course he wouldn't say this directly to Lin You, he just sent a message to Lin You unwillingly: [So when will "Dark Soul" be released? ]
Lin You replied to his message again in seconds:
[you guess? ]
Ah Yi was completely speechless. He threw away his phone and said, "What a waste of time I got up so early! I've gone to sleep. See you this afternoon."
"Bye bye."
After speaking, he really went downcast at the speed of light and disappeared in front of the camera.
And those players in other time zones who have a relatively large time difference and sleep time are not even in the mood to make a comment, and just fall asleep.
Ivan Ivanov, who got up at three o'clock in the morning, was one of these people.
He turned off the live broadcast very speechlessly, got into bed and fell asleep.
As for Daxia——
The players who asked for leave all wailed that they had asked for leave for nothing.
In the company that chased the wind, the HR director also sent a group text message to all employees: [The special holiday is cancelled, and I will go to work as normal today. ]
The Internet is simply devastated.
Lin You's expected "headline" has arrived without any suspense——
[The release date of Yunmeng's new game is actually an April Fool's joke! ]
[The news about the release date of "Dark Soul" is false, and there is no conclusion on when it will be released! ]
[Incredible joke! ]
...
All kinds of game media, financial media, gossip media, and even social media are reposting this news, easily turning a grand event in the [player circle] into a hot gossip that the whole network pays attention to.
With Lin You doing this, compared to the normal release of new games, the popularity has more than doubled.
The only downside is: after this operation, the players feel a little bit resentful...
But Lin You didn't think the problem was that big of a deal.
Because the phrase [Happy April Fool's Day] is the real [April Fool's Day joke].
And the release of "Dark Soul" is indeed today!
As long as the players play the new game, they will probably forget about this bit of resentment.
--I guess so……
Lin You sat on the small sofa, happily watching the players complaining wildly, while watching the time pass by every minute.
Two hours passed slowly like this.
Then, 10 o'clock came.
On the "Dark Soul" release page, the gray [Buy] button silently turned red.
After that, before Yunmeng sent any notice, the sales data in the background suddenly jumped!
