Zhang Xiang has been very troubled recently.
As a well-known commentator in the gaming circle, a top streamer at Station B, and the head anchor of the live broadcast area, he was nicknamed Brother Xiang and was once one of the top bosses in the gaming area at Station B.
However…
Recently, his status as a big shot in the industry has plummeted due to a live broadcast accident.
When he thought of what happened that day, he felt aggrieved for a while.
Those stupid fans chased him and scolded him for eating shit for almost a year without being punished at all. He only "friendly" suggested that they eat shit once in the live broadcast room, but he was supervised for "insulting the audience". Reasons to go crazy for 72 hours.
Isn't this a double standard
That wasn't what pissed him off the most.
And that unpopular game with a ridiculous name and gameplay, was unexpectedly put on fire by him? !
Whether it was a coincidence or something, 2048 has been a hot mess since then. Some big anchors who live-stream "Oracle" will also take the time to play for a minute or two while waiting for the copy to be loaded, and then put it aside until it is loaded.
In this way, his reputation as a poisonous milk was completely established in the gaming circle, and he even became famous outside the circle because of it.
More and more people know his name, Brother Xiang, and his stinky jokes, and specially come to the live broadcast room of Station B to follow him.
It is precisely because of this that the number of people "collecting debts" in his live broadcast room is also increasing day by day. Every time he says something, there will be a barrage following closely, asking him to pay the shit he owes first. have eaten.
Some of them are old anti-fans, some are just following the trend, and some are 2048 fans who got angry because they heard someone complaining about their favorite game.
Yes.
Even a game like 2048 has true fans who love it deeply.
However, sitting with millions of viewers, he is still a clown in people's eyes, and has not changed at all from before.
I was scolded every day from the first broadcast to the next, and the income from live broadcast tips was also deteriorating.
As for the job of making a meal
I couldn't get it before, and I can't even get it now!
Due to financial pressure, he even shamelessly approached the operations department of DaMi Entertainment and offered to help them do a promotional program for their 2048 mobile version this quarter. He also tactfully said that he could clean up all the shit he had sprayed. I ate it back, but was ruthlessly rejected by the other party.
The reason for rejection was also quite straightforward.
"Whether this game can become a hit is related to our company's marketing strategy for the next quarter, and we are reluctant to take this risk."
Good guy, the meal is not enough.
The name of this poisonous milk will probably stay with him for the rest of his life.
Continue to spray 2048
That doesn’t work either.
It has been bought by the Rice Group.
It's not impossible for him to complain about games, but he feels that he has the courage to open a live broadcast room with millions of people to complain about the domestic electronics giant's flagship product of the season, but the live broadcast platform may not unite with him.
You can’t say that I only criticize the PC version and say nothing about the mobile version, right
What a fool!
What's more, just because of what happened last time when he trolled 2048, the audience has begun to seriously question his taste.
As time went by, even he himself began to doubt whether there was really something wrong with his taste.
Why is that game so popular that it’s so popular
It doesn’t make sense either emotionally or rationally!
Hatred is like a seed. Every time someone ridicules him about it in the live broadcast room, it will sprout in his heart.
He never wants to wash away this humiliation, and never wants to prove to his audience that there is nothing wrong with his vision. What is wrong is that this fucking world is really unreasonable.
Finally, while searching for live broadcast material, he finally got the opportunity he had been dreaming of...
"Temple Escape? Damn it, Yunmeng Games, a street-beating company, actually released a new game?!"
"But why did they switch to making mobile games..."
do not care!
Just play mobile games!
Bad games don’t differentiate between platforms. Don’t think that I can’t criticize you if I don’t make the PC version! I'll still step on the dirt for you!
The excited expression on his face was like winning a five million lottery ticket. Zhang Xiang couldn't wait to download the game to his mobile phone.
The game itself is listed on the APP of the Dianqu platform, and the operator is the Dianqu platform's own channel - "Dianqu Selection", so there is no need to register an additional account. The recent merger and acquisition of DaMi Group has given this PC-based game platform a new lease of life, and the mobile version, which has not yet been launched, is also making a splash.
but…
This Dianqu company has no sense at all.
They actually made this garbage game their flagship product for the season.
Temple escape
Zhang Xiang sneered after entering the game.
To be honest, he is a cautious person. He will not easily criticize a game that is not particularly rubbish. Unless it is the kind of rusher who can be seen at a glance, he will step on it.
For example, this Temple Escape undoubtedly meets his standards for complaints.
Let’s not talk about the content of the game. Just looking at the colorful game cover, he knew that this thing must be a money-loser.
There are only two popular games on the market now. One is a series of Q-version racing games headed by "Pineapple Speed" launched by Pineapple Mobile, and the other is the "Oracle" series headed by domestic communications giant Hiace Group. IP masterpiece.
The former occupies the market of mid- to low-end models, while the latter devours high-quality users of mid-to-high-end models.
Of course, the recently popular 2048 can also be counted.
Although in his opinion, this kind of "nouveau riche" with no background is not qualified. Without similar games as a green foil, at most it will be popular for a while and then disappear...
"How dare such a rubbish game take the free route and use in-store purchases? Haha!"
I'm going to die! Just pay back the two pounds of shit you owe the audience! I will never put a penny into this rubbish game!
The plot of the game is so casual that it can be completely ignored.
In short, an explorer is running wildly in a narrow passage of an ancient tomb, and is being chased by an extremely ugly monster. He doesn’t know whether he will be cooked and eaten, or captured to do indescribable things. Son.
The gameplay is also very simple, in line with the fool-proof operation of 2048.
When encountering a low obstacle, slide up to take off. When encountering a high obstacle, slide down to shovel. Turn left and slide left. Turn right and slide right. If you are overtaken by a monster or fail to turn in time, it will be Game Over. As for the end point...
There should be, right
Although it is not mentioned in the game description.
For a hardcore player like me, this kind of mentally retarded rule explanation is obviously redundant. Zhang Xiang just glanced at it and threw it aside, directly entering the game screen.
As the number one anti-fan of "Yunmeng", although he was ready to start trolling, in order to make the trolling posture not too stiff, of course he still had to download it and play it himself.
The game begins.
An extremely ugly monster broke through the wooden door and rushed towards the unarmed explorer. Zhang Xiang stared at the screen intently, easily swiping right and left in two consecutive jumps, passing the test of curves and potholes.
That's it
A feeling of contempt arose in his heart, and the corner of Zhang Xiang's mouth also curled up with a hint of disdain.
At this moment, he has completely forgotten the lessons he learned while playing 2048.
The first two traps that allow players to familiarize themselves with the gameplay are indeed easy to avoid. However, the moment he controls the villain to run through the first mine, a series of left turns and right turns plus a stone door that requires a slide shovel to pass, directly Fast forward him to the game over screen.
"What the hell?"
Looking at the Game Over that popped up on the screen and the score of 250 (not on the list), Zhang Xiang's eyes turned into two light bulbs.
This score...
It's simply an insult to his IQ and professional player quality!
Gritting his teeth, he pretended that nothing happened and quickly fired again.
This time, his luck was slightly better, allowing him to reach 310 points. It was only because of a small mistake that he failed to jump over the obstacle in time and was caught by the monster chasing behind him.
"Haha... Actually, it's nothing more than that."
"As long as you master the tricks and react a little faster, even a fool can easily pass the level."
Looking at the 7,200 points at the top of the ranking list, Zhang Xiang smiled coldly and started the next round.
However, what surprised him was that in the next few rounds, no matter how hard he tried, he was stuck at around 290 points. Either he was paddling too slowly when turning a corner, or he was caught off guard by the sudden big hole.
After several setbacks, Zhang Xiang couldn't help but throw his phone on the sofa.
"Nah! This rubbish game is too stupid!"
One failure and everything is lost
How could anyone be so unfriendly to players!
The frustration and regret made him want to smash his phone.
After calming his breathing, Zhang Xiang calmed himself down and picked up the phone lying on the sofa again.
The index finger opened the mall with disappointment. Originally, he planned to see if there were any good-looking skins. However, at this moment, he suddenly discovered that the mall actually sold resurrection items? !
"Holy shit! Resurrection Gem?! Do you have to spend money to buy it?!"
Although this so-called resurrection gem is not omnipotent and can only be used once in a round, even if it is just a chance to redeem a mistake, it can be of great use!
Zhang Xiang felt that the distance between him and the finish line was only one gem.
However, the price of one hundred gold coins written on the back of the gem made him hesitate.
The gold coins here are not those picked up in the game, but game coins that need to be recharged to obtain. One hundred gold coins would be equivalent to about one dollar. Although it was not expensive, it was disgusting enough. At least it made Zhang Xiang disgusted.
Of course, it is also possible without recharging.
As long as you complete all the daily tasks, there is no problem in earning 300 to 500 gold coins a day.
However, Zhang Xiang desperately discovered that even the simplest task required 500 points to complete, and the scores required for some achievement treasure chests were easily over 2,000 points.
what to do
Do I have to top up money
Zhang Xiang swallowed, his thumb hanging hesitantly.
In just ten seconds, his mood went through a series of chemical reactions from disdain to hesitation, and then from hesitation to heartbeat.
In his subconscious mind, he has determined that it is impossible to achieve high scores without buying resurrection gems.
However, he always felt uncomfortable unless he reached 500 points and lit up the achievement medal. As a hardcore player and game reviewer, his dignity and obsessive-compulsive disorder did not allow him to simply back down.
Just when he was having a battle between heaven and man in his mind, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the new user benefits on the top bar of the mall from the corner of his eye.
Seems to be…
First deposit reward
The shining golden treasure box was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and also crushed the persistence in his heart.
The first deposit is only 6 yuan.
Not only will you get a gift package worth 21 yuan, but you will also receive an additional 10 resurrection gems! It's like I charged 6 yuan and bought something for 31 yuan. After rounding up, not only did I spend no money, but I also made 25 yuan? !
If you charge blood, you will gain, but if you do not charge blood, you will lose!
In an instant, Zhang Xiang's breathing became rapid, and the oath that he would eat shit without spending a penny was completely forgotten, and his trembling thumb was already hanging on the payment button.
It has to be said that once the bottom line is breached, the slope of thinking will be faster than an avalanche.
The thought in his head has changed from the initial "recharging only six yuan" to "it's already here, why not get a big gift package of 666 for the first recharge of 666".
As soon as the teeth bite, Zhang Xiang's thumb presses down.
Just when his thumb touched the screen, for a moment, he felt a trace of regret in his heart.
However, the regret only lasted less than a second, and he quickly convinced himself.
The main reason I paid for it was to test the game’s mall system!
What's more, I'm just going to do it this time...
Anyway, it won’t happen again!
