Chapter 193
The game, which was splendidly revived in virtual reality, received explosive attention and praise from teenagers and twenties and surprised the world by recording unbelievable results.
-League of Legends. Reached #2 in Weekly Popular Games.
-1.4 billion new subscribers and 500 million concurrent users. Unprecedented great success.
- Virtual reality remake. A busy gaming world.
- Enthusiastic returning users. Why are they enthusiastic?
[Hmm... First of all, I like that the characters are lively. Also, it\'s more complicated than before, but it\'s nice to be able to play in a variety of ways while shooting tension-filled battles or characteristics depending on the situation. Oh, and the colorful items are also interesting.]
[It\'s so realistic! Really wow..... When you first started the game, did you shed tears when you saw the Nexus and the turrets? The game of my life is revived like this... I\'m really touched.]
[Guys, do you know how soft the tail of a nine-tailed fox is? If you touch the tail, haha.....]
The broadcasts are filled with vivid interviews of users who have played the game. In addition, game critics and experts also gave high praise and fired support.
[I don\'t know who planned it, but it\'s really genius. It was not just ported to virtual reality, but extracted only the strengths of the two games, League of Legends and Icarus, and excluded the weaknesses as much as possible. It\'s not easy to put together completely different genres of games like this... Really.....]
[The graphics are really realistic. No, I didn\'t expect to realize the battlefield that I had imagined so perfectly. Indeed, the potential of Arcadia\'s development team is a level that no one can ignore. Besides, who else got the balance? The harmony between the heroes is so exquisite! It\'s the best!]
Game quality, graphics, story balance, fun.
A perfect game that caught everything without missing anything. When it was added to the addictiveness that no one could escape easily, people began to immerse themselves in the League of Legends.
-Wow..... What is Bunny Girl Raven Skin?
-No, the pool party skin was so beautiful...?
-haha!!! purchase! purchase! take my money!
-Pay all your salary this month.
A new skin added in virtual reality. It was the same design as before, but unlike simple 2D graphics, images that were so close to perfection that they were indistinguishable from reality forcibly opened people\'s wallets and robbed them of their money.
“Holy ShiX.....is this for real...?”
Legendary Game Director Joe Diggler.
As he looked at the earnings report in his hand, he exclaimed in disbelief with his eyes about to jump out.
“That\'s right. During the two weeks of opening, sales generated from skin sales alone amounted to $230 million.”
$230 million. A staggering amount of 230 billion won in Korean currency. He muttered in a trembling voice that sales of approximately 15 billion won were generated in one day alone.
“Even though only about 30 characters have yet been implemented... this much? Or rather, didn’t they set the price for all the skins at once?”
Skins priced between $20 and $50. However, as if the price increase was a joke, the billing power of those who opened their wallets and shoved money with fearful momentum did not weaken in the slightest.
“Perhaps the difference in quality level is so great that consumers do not feel expensive about the price. Of course, it seems that there are many cases where the basic skin is enough and there is no desire to buy it, but...” ”
But...?”
The team leader doesn\'t finish his words and turns them off with a puzzled look. He sighed at Diggler\'s urging and opened his mouth.
“We have confirmed that the purchase rate is abnormally high for certain heroes. Marie, Miss Pirate and Raven. 72% of our sales came from these three heroes.”
A breakdown of sales as depicted in the report. Compared to the other heroes, he could see why this abnormal situation had occurred by looking at the three huge sticks sticking out as if they had pierced the ceiling.
Bunny Girl Raven.
Bikini Miss Pirate.
Pop star Marie.
Popular skins that stimulate the purchase desire of male users. Looking at them, Joe Diggler said nothing. I just nod my head and mumble as if I understand everything.
“Does this make sense..... What kind of swimsuit skin did you make $80 million with? Anyway.....”
Joe Diggler realized the eternal truth that a swimsuit is the best BM (Business Model). Since then, he faithfully practiced the truth he realized, stimulating the virtuous hearts of many male and female users and fiercely extorting money from their wallets.
The League of Legends started its service with great success. There is only one complaint about this highly praised game in every way. Complaints that newly released skins are concentrated only on handsome and pretty heroes.
- Fuck, can\'t we release a new skin for Murgot? Why does this guy only have one skin?
-right! right! The League of Legends, stop discriminating against the appearance of heroes!
-Our Sukaner is cool too! Release a new skin!
Even the pick rate is low, so the minority who are not caught in the statistics. Sadly, no one recognized the sorrow of those who were always despised and discriminated against.
* * *
Lim Jae-kyun, a freshman at Seomin University.
Once treated as a megalomaniacal pervert and hated by people, he received a completely reversed evaluation after the release of League of Legends.
[I heard that Mr. Lim\'s genius skills are as good as those of the pros who are playing in the field. I personally know his potential because I personally watched the production process. Looking at it this way, Seomin University is very enviable. Do you know this kind of talent in your arms? Hahaha!]
Diggler\'s stock price peaked with the success of the League of Legends. Starting from his interview remarks that praised Jaekyun to the point of being burdensome, all sorts of love calls began to pour in to Jaekyun.
“How about coming to our company after graduation? They treat you the best in the industry.”
“You don\'t even need a university degree. I’ll give you the general director position right now.”
“How much do you want? yes? I\'ll match up to five large ones.”
The moves to recruit him right away, even offering an unrealistic salary. Those who came to school and wandered in front of the classroom where Jae-gyun was taking classes followed and harassed him like a stalker.
“Oh really. Because I don\'t think about it now. Stop looking for me.”
At first, Jae-gyun hesitated and didn\'t know what to do. However, seeing him frowning and confidently refusing as if he had gotten used to it through several experiences, Jaeyoung muttered as if he was surprised.
“Hmm... after all, do seats make people?”
Unlike the past when self-confidence seemed non-existent, Jae-gyun has improved a lot. It was Jae-young who felt an unknown sense of pride when he saw him clearly changed in response to the public\'s infinite interest and affection for a different person than before.
“Haa... Really, I just went ahead and got it.”
Jae-gyun sighs deeply as he chases after Jae-young, barely avoiding them. Jaeyoung laughed at him and said teasingly.
“Why do I have to get used to it now? Rather... Why does it seem like the people who visit me every day are different?”
“Everything is different. No, have there been so many game companies in the world? Why are you coming from all over Europe and causing a stir?”
Starting with the super-large game company in Korea, all the giant game companies around the world have been stabbed at least once. In addition, it was a disgusting jae-Gyun because it was a new company and came from a place I had never heard of.
“Ugh..... If I knew it would be like this, I would just say nothing and quietly collect royalties like you did.....”
Jaekyun and Jaeyoung played a key role in the development process beyond just participating in it. As interns, not employees, they contributed to a level that would be impossible to just write down a few lines of experience on their resumes, so they received ridiculous benefits under the strong recommendation of President Lee Mi-yeon.
Royalty payment of 0.001% of total sales.
It seemed like a small percentage, but the League of Legends is showing great spirits by recording huge sales every day. Thanks to that, it was clear that a huge amount of money would be put into their bankbook as royalties, so the smile on Jae-gyun\'s face could not be erased.
“But thanks to selling your face there, your reputation at school has improved. Aren’t you supposed to be satisfied with that?”
“That’s right...”
Jaekyun shrugged his lips at Jaeyoung’s words. He hadn\'t been able to adapt to the gaze and reaction of people watching him since the League of Legends was released.
“Jae-kyun, I’m going to have a drink with my classmates today, so why don’t you come too?”
“Oh Jaegyun. Is it time today?”
“Jaekyun, did you make a team for this group assignment? If not, would you like to join us?”
“ah! Let\'s have lunch together with Jaekyun. I have a favor to ask of you...” A
situation where people who normally have never spoken properly approach each other in a friendly way and propose to have a drink together. In the past, those who couldn\'t find a team and sent a look of disgust when the professor forced them into the team. In addition, there is an attempt to use him as a connection point to Arcadia Co., Ltd. by abusing his position as a professor.
Jae-gyun has completely transformed from a detestable delusional perverted pig of the past to an exceptional talent with an outstanding future. However, despite the different attitudes of those people, Jae-gyun did not change at all.
He just follows Jae-young and repeats his love worries and delusions about Chae-yeon.
“Ah, more than that, Jaeyoung. How are you?”
“what?”
Jae-gyun who suddenly asks. To Jaeyoung, who asked back with an ignorant face, Jaekyun looked around and whispered cautiously.
“I mean Arcadia. He said he was coming back to the mainland.”
“Ah, that...?”
A month immersed in the development of the League of Legends and the hosting of the Game Festa.
During that time, Jaeyoung in the game was returning to the Caribbean on the ship of the Black Pirates. Jae-young, who last logged on and checked the location, came to school. That\'s why he said with a strange smile at Jaekyun\'s words.
“I just arrived.”
“Really? where are you? Caribbean? Shall I go there?”
Jaekyun was delighted with his words. Jaeyoung shook his head at his reaction, which seemed to want to play games together again.
“First of all... it’s Caribbean, but... it’s hard to meet them yet.”
“Yes....? why?”
“I have to stop by the elven village.”
“Ah... there...?”
elven village.
Jae-gyun frowns at the mention of going there, as if he recalled some bad memory. Seeing his reaction, Jaeyoung thought to himself.
‘I\'ve been there.....\'
Jaeyoung, who told me that you were in a dwarf village the other day. It was an advice he gave with sincerity, worried that his self-esteem would be ground into fine powder if he wandered around the elven village for no reason, but it was Jae-gyun who seemed unable to overcome his curiosity.
“Okay... then I\'m in Maroon Kingdom, so send me a note when you\'re done.”
“I will, then.”
Jaeyoung happily nods at Jaekyun\'s words of quickly giving up. However, Jaekyun looked at him cautiously, wondering if he could not hold back his curiosity.
“By the way... why the hell are you going to the elves\' village?”
Jaeyoung has just arrived in the Caribbean. However, Jae-kyun was puzzled by the fact that the destination he was going straight to was the village of the elves, Where Tree Rest. And in response to his question, Jaeyoung smiled and replied as if it didn\'t matter.
“To consolidate the server.”
