"Ah!"
Qiao Liang was startled. His eyes couldn't help but look at the black clothes that suddenly appeared. However, at the same time, the entire mirror suddenly "popped" A broken sound!
This time Qiao Liang was really frightened. He even leaned back involuntarily and almost fell onto the bed behind him with the chair.
When I looked at the screen again, the mirror inside had been broken, revealing the darkness behind the mirror.
A line of bright red blood words appeared in the lower right corner. This line of blood words soon changed to 9:59, which seemed to mean that the game could not be played again in ten minutes.
Qiao Liang was slightly frightened, but quickly calmed down.
"It seems that this step is a pure test of psychological quality. The eyeballs must be stared at the center of the mirror motionlessly and not look around, otherwise it will fail immediately..."
"Okay, practice hard and try to succeed in ten minutes!"
Qiao Liang was instantly full of motivation because he realized that as long as he passed this test, all the puzzles set by Mr. Pei should be able to be solved. Unlocked successfully!
……
An hour later.
Qiao Liang stared at himself in the mirror, while a ghost floating in the air, covered in blood, had already stretched out his bloody hand, and seemed to be about to touch his neck... …
Qiao Liang felt his heart pounding, but he still gritted his teeth and stared at his own eyes in the mirror, forcing his eyeballs to remain motionless with his will.
The terrifying ghost is always wandering around in the mirror, constantly using various behaviors to try to attract Qiao Liang's attention.
Finally, it seemed to have completely lost its patience, and suddenly came to the center of the screen, opened its bloody mouth, and screamed at Qiao Liang!
Qiao Liang very cleverly did not turn on the stereo, so he could not hear the sound, but just the impactful scene that suddenly appeared in front of the screen was enough to make his heart beat faster!
But then, a vortex suddenly appeared in the mirror, sucking the ghost in!
The ghost seemed to be still struggling, but to no avail at all, and quickly disappeared in the mirror.
A line of blood words also appeared on the mirror: "Congratulations, the first guest of the Terror Hostel!"
After a casual click of the mouse, the program exited, and " The purchase button that had been dark on the page of "BEQUIET" also lit up, which meant that Qiao Liang could finally spend money to buy the game!
Qiao Liang was so moved that her eyes filled with tears.
It’s not easy!
Is it difficult to buy a game these days?
But it's all worth it, he is the number one player of "BEQUIET" after all!
"Share this news with everyone immediately!"
QiaoLiang opened the fan group and excitedly told the fans about the solution to the last step of the puzzle.
......
At the same time, Pei Qian was silent in the office for a long time and slowly uttered two words.
"Nah..."
Looking at the eye-catching 1 on the "BEQUIET" purchase number in the background, Pei Qian felt a little chilled.
It was still solved...
The puzzle that I originally thought would last a month only lasted until the 11th, not even half a month!
"Hey, the previous estimate was still a bit too optimistic. It is really impossible to trap players for a month with puzzles of this difficulty."
"But it's not useless at all, it's okay, okay."
Pei Qian knew very well that since the first buyer has appeared, it means that the mystery has been completely solved, as long as If these people share their experiences, more and more people will receive invitations and get purchasing opportunities.
But even so, there are still barriers to purchase!
In the background, Pei Qian set the prices of the two games "Lonely Desert Highway" and "Game Maker" to "free", and then silently paid attention to the subsequent changes in sales.
His series of operations has already been the optimal solution found under the strict restrictions of the system.
In layman’s terms, the difficulty for everyone to solve puzzles is different from the threshold difficulty and restrictions for everyone to buy the game.
Finding clues, solving puzzles, etc. in various games are participated by all players. Once someone solves this step, everyone can continue to study the next step, and the difficulty can naturally be determined. Higher.
After knowing how to solve the puzzle, there is still a purchase threshold for the game itself.
Players must drive in "Lonely Desert Highway" for a while, then personally go to "Game Maker" to get the ending of "losing all their money", and then go to the TPDb website to search for "Hotel of Panic", Enter your account password, get a dynamic code and enter it into the blood fingerprint of the game, and finally complete the eye-catching mirror challenge to purchase the game.
This is the highest threshold allowed by the system and cannot be higher.
Of course, Pei Qian has nothing to be dissatisfied with. This threshold can already help him filter out a large number of players.
Pei Qian thiefly made "Lonely Desert Highway" and "Game Maker" free of charge. On the surface, he wanted to create convenient conditions for players, but in fact, he wanted to make less money.
Pei Qian discovered that the system now allows the game to be completely free, but the conditions required are relatively strict.
It must be a stand-alone game;
It must have been officially released for more than 10 months;
The revenue of the previous month must have dropped to one-fifth of the revenue of the month after the release. Within.
These three conditions must be met at the same time before the system allows this game to be free.
And "Lonely Desert Highway" and"Game Producer" just meets this condition, so Pei Qian can change them to free.
As for online games like "Sea Fortress", don't even think about it.
Even if "Return to the Shore" is released 10 months after its release, it will be very difficult for its revenue to drop to one-fifth of the revenue in the second month after its release, because this game is relatively playable, and it is " There seems to be an endless stream of new players who are interested in "masochism".
In short, although the mystery is solved, the purchase threshold is still there, and it can still help Pei Qian make a lot of money - at least in this settlement cycle.
Pei Qian turned off the backend and thought about waiting for a while to see the sales growth and consider what countermeasures should be taken.
The most important thing at the moment is...
First check the reservation status of OTTOE1 mobile phone, and then send money to Lu Mingliang and Chang You!
It has been two days since reservations opened on Thursday. The number of OTTOE1 mobile reservations has increased to 4,728. Although it is still growing, it has been extremely slow.
Pei Qian was very happy. It was almost the same as he had predicted before. When it goes on sale on Sunday, the number of pre-orders would be capped at 5,000, and it was absolutely impossible to go higher.
Pei Qian decided that out of the 25 million, 5 million would be given to Lu Mingliang so that he could continue to open more headwind stations in Lincheng, and the remaining 20 million would be given to Chang You, so that he could continue to work in Lincheng. On the basis of stocking 4,000 units, we will stock an additional 5,000 units!
If all the more than 5,000 reserved mobile phones can be sold, then the remaining money will be used to stock up. By then, there will be a backlog of about 13,000 to 40,000 mobile phones in the warehouse.
Just let this money be kept in the warehouse and stay there until the next settlement cycle. That would be perfect!
......
After letting Assistant Xin arrange everything, Pei Qian leaned on the chair and could finally take a break.
He turned on his computer and took a look at the comments made by netizens about the game "BEQUIET" and the OTTOE1 mobile phone.
Now, the puzzle content of the game "BEQUIET" has been completely revealed, and posts about how to purchase the game have been posted everywhere.
However, players’ evaluations of this show were obviously polarized, and they even started quarreling online.
“I’m crazy. You can’t just buy a game after all the puzzles are solved, but you still have to go through such complicated pre-steps? Is there something wrong with you?”
“That’s right, pay for it. Buying a game depends on the creator’s face. Tenda is really awesome, so don’t give up!”
“I still don’t understand the meaning of this so-called ARG game. I just want to get in?” I'm just playing the game, I'm not interested in solving puzzles at all!"
"That's right, I will definitely not buy it, just wait for this game to die!"
"...Who do you think you are? Do you think Tenda cares about this? Since they created this ARG game and set the purchase threshold, they are just to screen out you newbie players who don't like to use their brains."
"That's right, if you want to play a brainless game, go to "Sea Fortress" to shoot guns. It's not like Tenda doesn't have games like this that are suitable for you."
"This ARG game is so interesting. Although I I can’t figure it out, but it’s exciting to watch the big guys solving puzzles online every day!”
“This ARG game and the eye-catching game in the last step amaze me. I think it’s worth it! It is equivalent to a large-scale, multi-player free brain-burning game. It is equivalent to buying one and getting one free in "BEQUIET". What's not to be satisfied with?"
"And Tenda also released "Lonely Desert Highway". "And "Game Producer" is free, my conscience!"
The two sides were arguing.
Pei Qian is not interested in the content of their debate. He is only concerned that many people are dissatisfied with the game "BEQUIET", which can reduce the game's revenue this month.
After looking at netizens’ evaluations of the OTTOE1 mobile phone, they are basically polarized, but those who support this mobile phone are obviously in a weak position.
The reason is simple, too few sales!
Only 3,000 units of this phone have been sold so far. Even if all these people are very satisfied with the phone, they are only 3,000 people, and many of them may not be online at all. Discuss this.
More people are questioning the brand, quality control, stocking, etc. of this phone. They think this phone is a hype, and they need to wait and see whether it is worth buying.
Pei Qian is very satisfied with this. Just continue to wait and see. You must stick to your own judgment and don’t buy it!
Finally, Pei Qian took out his mobile phone and took another look at the Gouyan APP.
On the 18th day of the release of "Better Tomorrow", the box office for that day is estimated to be 225 million!
Until now, "Better Tomorrow" ranks second at the box office on the same day, and the first place is a domestic movie that was just released two days ago.
Pei Qian put his hand on his forehead, with pain written all over his face.
The estimated box office has increased significantly compared to before!
This shows that the movie has great stamina, probably because some people came to watch it for the second or third time.
This is very bad news for Pei Qian, because if this movie works hard at the box office, Pei Qian will have to pay several million more...
What a sin. !
Pei Qian subconsciously swiped to the right, wanting to see tomorrow's schedule.
However, in the pre-sale column, "Better Tomorrow", which originally occupied the second place, was directly pushed to the third place, and the first place is an upcoming American blockbuster!
Pei Qian couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
The savior is here!
Great, the movie’s box office will definitely not reach 225 million!
Brother, why didn’t you release it half a month earlier? ? ?
