Chapter 565 I Don’t Copy, I Buy a House (4000 Words, Two in One)
Another holiday, another beautiful summer.
Ye Ge finally took off the plaster.
To be honest, the days with a broken leg are really inconvenient, and you have to jump around to do anything.
The toilet in the dormitory is also a squat toilet, not a toilet, which makes Ye Ge, who has a broken leg, feel very headache.
In the end, Ye Ge bought a toilet artifact to solve this problem.
In addition to the inconvenience of life, after the news of his broken leg was posted online, he was always ridiculed by others, and even many people opened champagne under his dynamics. Who can stand this?
And when Ye Ge took off the plaster, he felt that he was liberated.
Although Ye Ge hadn't walked for a long time, after removing the plaster, he walked a little unsteadily, and even limped, but everything was going in a good direction.
Moreover, during the period when Ye Ge had a broken leg, it was not that everything was bad.
When he was inconvenient, Su Mu, Su Yue, and Guo Xue would take turns waiting for him downstairs of his dormitory to go to class, and he didn't need his roommates to help him most of the time.
In addition, they would bring food from time to time.
All Ye Ge had to do was play games comfortably in the dormitory.
Anyway, when it was time for meals, they would bring food to the dormitory building.
Even if he had to go to the company, they would help push his wheelchair.
Although every time he went out, there would always be college students looking at him with a "you deserve to die" look.
But overall, it felt really good to be taken care of.
As for the three big men in his dormitory?
What a joke.
With beautiful girls taking care of him, who would have nothing to do and go to big men?
After his leg healed, he would not have such treatment.
But Ye Ge did not plan to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, and to be honest, it was really inconvenient not to be able to drive.
Ye Ge did not go home this summer vacation.
Because Mihuyou's latest masterpiece "Glory King" is about to be closed beta.
A mobile game generally goes through three tests.
They are - closed beta, internal beta, and finally public beta.
Mihuyou may be different from other game companies.
Prior to this, "King of Glory" had already gone through preliminary testing, functional testing, performance testing and other preparatory tests.
These preparatory tests are mainly to verify whether the basic functions of the game are normal, such as the game interface, control, sound effects, etc., to ensure that the basic functions of the game can run normally without crashes or freezes.
At the same time, before the closed beta test, Mihuyou also tested the security and compatibility of "King of Glory".
Try your best to ensure that "King of Glory" can run on various models of Android and Apple phones.
As for the encryption of game data transmission and important data, Xu Xin poached some people from the Penguin Computer Security Manager Department to do it.
Ye Ge was very satisfied with the results.
Although it is impossible to prevent 100% of the cheating methods, it is no problem to prevent 99.9%.
And when the game is launched, the technical team will continue to follow up and try their best to prevent 100% of the cheating.
Although Penguin is quite dog in many games, you can never question the professionalism of Penguin employees.
After all the preparations are done, the closed beta test is the first step to face users on a larger scale.
Closed beta testing refers to testing in a very small range, mainly to find and solve problems. Generally, testing is carried out through one or several channels, and most closed beta tests will delete the files after the test.
After all, there will always be problems in the game. No matter how thorough the test is, you can never be perfect. You can only expose all the problems through closed beta testing to facilitate the subsequent solution of these problems.
In this closed beta test, Mihoyo will test the key data indicators of "King of Glory", such as retention rate, payment rate, and ARPPU.
With these key data, it is possible to preliminarily determine the response that "King of Glory" may cause in the market.
Generally, only a few thousand people are needed to meet the needs of closed beta testing.
Too many users will not work. Since the files need to be deleted, if hundreds of thousands of users are imported and their data is deleted, it is estimated that many users will be dissatisfied.
Too few users will not work either. If the data sample is too small, the data fluctuations of the test will be large, which will not reflect the real data level of the game. At the same time, too few users will not be able to obtain sufficient user feedback.
But Ye Ge is different. Ye Ge directly issued 30,000 closed beta qualifications, just to make the data more accurate!
It just happened to test the stability of the server that Mihoyo recently purchased.
Ye Ge took out 15,000 of the 30,000 closed beta qualifications and distributed them to the loyal kryptonians of Mihoyo's other games.
Now Mihoyo has released three games in total - Fennu's Bird, Honkai Academy, and Mihoyo's mini games.
Among them, each of the top 2,500 kryptonians of Fennu's Bird and Mihoyo's mini games will be issued a closed beta qualification, and Honkai Academy will issue 10,000.
If the kryptonian does not want it and chooses to give up, then it will be postponed.
This can reflect Mihoyo's care and love for kryptonians.
Speaking of care and love, Ye Ge has set up a special group in Mihoyo's customer service department.
When it is the birthday of the kryptonians who recharge thousands of kryptonians, there will be a robot calling them and expressing birthday wishes in the voice of the game character.
When the krypton players who recharged tens of thousands of yuan have birthdays, the customer service will personally call to wish them a happy birthday, and then send them a small gift package in the game.
If it is the kind of krypton player who recharged more than 100,000 yuan, there will be a commemorative peripheral gift on his birthday.
When these players encounter any problems in the game, they can directly find the exclusive customer service through QQ, and the exclusive customer will solve it as soon as possible.
The main theme is "the customer is my father".
Back to the point, Ye Ge gave 5,000 of the remaining 15,000 closed beta qualifications to Zhige Game Company.
After all, Zhige Game Company is a valued partner of Mihuyou. Ye Ge and Tang Zhiyan share mutual communication, you have me and I have you, and many game projects are developed together. In any case, you have to give partners some small benefits.
Although these 5,000 places are not many, and there is actually no big difference whether to give them or not, so many can increase the favorability of the two companies.
Zhige Game Company plans to distribute these 5,000 places by lottery.
The remaining 10,000 places were given to Bilibili by Ye Ge.
On the official account of "King of Glory", a lucky draw is held every three days, with 1,000 closed beta test spots drawn each time, and ten draws.
In fact, "King of Glory" has been subject to a lot of discussion and doubts since the release of the first PV.
Because anyone can see that "King of Glory" is a copy of "League of Legends", except that one is played on a computer and the other is played on a mobile phone.
But if you want to say it's plagiarism, moba games are not the first to be created by "League of Legends". Every hero in "King of Glory" is very two-dimensional, the male characters are very handsome, and the female characters are very shy! It fits the style of Mihuyou very well.
And people can buy equipment when they go out.
Besides, their skills are also very different from those of League of Legends.
So it's a bit hard to say that it's plagiarism, it can only be said that this is a follow-up work.
But this is normal, after all, League of Legends has been so popular recently, and many companies are planning to launch the same competitive products as League of Legends, but they have never seen it played on mobile phones.
So people who don't like playing League of Legends are generally not very interested in "King of Glory".
As for those who play League of Legends, many people find it boring, and even many people are scolding Ye Ge and the production team of "King of Glory".
This puts a lot of pressure on the production team of "King of Glory". Ye Ge even hired a psychologist for them, fearing that they will not be able to bear the scolding one day.
Ye Ge was also helpless.
Without "King of Glory", a money-printing machine, how can he make a 3A masterpiece in the future?
If I want to make my Black Myth Wukong, it will require a lot of funds.
Only if you can afford to open a company will talents come to you, and only if you have enough funds, you will not need to be frugal everywhere when purchasing some equipment and software.
If game makers can eat big fish and meat every day to develop games, why must they eat instant noodles?
However, when issuing closed beta qualifications, there are tens of thousands of people scrambling every time, and many people are cursing Ye Ge while hoping to get a closed beta qualification.
Ye Ge felt that this was very normal, because he had done it before.
After the closed beta qualification is issued, the closed beta will start seven days later.
The closed beta will go through multiple tests.
Generally, the first test is for technical problems and retention problems.
The second test is paid. If a test does not achieve the test purpose, the number of tests needs to be increased.
Many games will be tested 3 times or more, and fewer games will be very smooth.
If each test achieves the test purpose and the data performance is good, there is no need to make too many adjustments or too many tests.
Generally, the free test cycle is more than a week. If the time is too short, it is difficult to expose enough problems and you can't see more retention data. If the time is too long, the deletion of files will have a greater impact on users.
The paid test cycle needs to be longer, generally more than 15 days. If the cycle is too short, the paid data will be very inaccurate.
Among them, the paid test gave Ye Ge a headache.
Because the closed beta almost always has to delete the files. People have paid, and then you delete the files. Don't they scold you to death?
So Ye Ge held a meeting and finally confirmed that the amount of money you recharged in the game will be recorded in the database, and when the internal test begins, the amount of points you have recharged will be issued.
Of course, in the eyes of some players, they are also worried that this game will not survive the closed beta test, so wouldn’t the money they recharged in it be wasted?
Although Ye Ge vowed that this game will definitely be publicly tested and will definitely become a hit game, people may not believe it.
So in order to dispel the doubts of the players, Ye Ge also said that if the last game does not survive the public beta test, these money will not be wasted for them.
Players can choose to turn into game points for games under Mihoyo, and you can even choose to recharge this money in B station to exchange for a premium membership.
After getting Ye Ge’s guarantee, the players are completely relieved.
Although Ye Gou is a bitch, he is also a scumbag, and he has many boats under his feet, but in this kind of business reputation, he is still very trustworthy.
Besides, the market value of Mihoyo and Station B has exceeded 100 million yuan, so there is no need for him to cheat himself of such a small amount of money.
Ye Ge thought about it and realized that it took a full year from the establishment of the "King of Glory" project to the closed beta test.
Logically speaking, the game "King of Glory" will take at least two years, but because the game plan given by Ye Ge is so detailed, many issues that need to be discussed have been resolved.
The members of the "King of Glory" team only need to be responsible for moving forward, and as the boss, Ye Ge needs to consider a lot.
"Mom, I may be very busy this summer vacation, do you want to come to Hangzhou?"
One day, Ye Ge called his mother.
There is really no time to go back this summer vacation, and Ye Ge needs to take care of many things.
Ye Ge was afraid that his mother would feel lonely, so he thought about letting his mother come here.
But Ms. Song said that she didn't want to leave Linhai, and let that bastard take good care of herself.
In fact, Ye Ge also knew that his mother missed him very much.
Because I work here, my mother is afraid that I will be distracted and doesn't want to trouble me, so she said she didn't want to come.
But the more this happened, the more guilty Ye Ge felt. It was summer vacation, and everyone went back. How could he let his mother be alone at home?
If his mother saw that the sons and daughters in the community had returned from college, but she didn't come back, how big would the psychological gap be.
So Ye Ge sent the sisters Su Mu and Su Yue to persuade his mother.
Don't say it.
As soon as the two sisters Su Mu and Su Yue came out, Ms. Song came to Hangzhou reluctantly.
The first thing Ye Ge did when he came to Hangzhou was to take his mother and Su Mu and Su Yue to buy a house.
Because Ye Ge's Mihuyou and Bilibili are becoming more and more famous, and the market value is booming, Hangzhou has given good support and policies, hoping to keep Ye Ge to develop and make Mihuyou and Bilibili one of Hangzhou's signs.
It was really hard for Ye Ge to refuse, and Hangzhou was indeed full of talents and close to Shanghai, so Ye Ge thought that the headquarters should be placed in Hangzhou.
On this day, Ye Ge came to a famous real estate agency in China.
When they saw a college student coming in, they thought he was here to make copies, after all, they provided free copies here, and students would come in from time to time.
A beautiful agent in a hip skirt uniform came forward: "Handsome guy, what do you want to copy?"
Ye Ge: "I don't copy, I'm here to buy a house."
