MTL - Rebirth Starts at 7 Million-Chapter 216 Nebula Cloud Service Center
"You know me?" Li Jingyi asked curiously.
"I know... I know, I'm also a student of Huaxia Academy of Fine Arts. Sister, your photo just appeared on our school's celebrity wall this year."
"Huh? Can I be on the Wall of Fame?"
"Well, I remember that it says that you have won a gold medal in an international painting competition, and you are still an executive of Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd." Xiao Rui's younger brother said.
"Oh! It turns out that I got up because of Xingyuan's position! Let me just say it! The gold content of that award is not so high."
After listening to Li Jingyi's words, Xiao Rui's younger brother turned his head to look at Luo Fan and said, "Sister, then he is President Luo of Xingyuan, right?"
"Yes."
"So it's not the same name!" Xiao Rui's younger brother muttered to himself.
"What! You...you are the boss of Xingyuan?" Xiao Rui, who was playing the game, asked in shock.
"There are no Xingyuan bosses here, just two game enthusiasts."
Xiao Rui scratched his head for a while, not knowing what to say.
Luo Fan also understood this situation, and he began to lead the conversation on his own initiative, and then learned from Xiao Rui about his early experience of Clash of Clans.
In Xiao Rui's opinion, the building upgrades in the early game of Clash of Clans are very fast. If you can't wait, you can use gems to speed up.
There were a lot of gems in the reserved gift package, but Xiao Rui didn't use it.
He has played many similar games, and past experience tells him that it is often in the later stages of the game that this kind of accelerated upgrade item shows its effect.
Soon after, Xiao Rui had his first army, and at the same time he found that he could beat people and plunder resources.
After some searching, Xiao Rui found a player with a similar level of development to him, and both the gold mine and holy water showed full signs.
Xiao Rui feels that this player is similar in development to him, and has a lot of resources, so he can try to make a vote.
Then Xiao Rui chose to send troops directly.
But Xiao Rui, who was fighting, found out that something was wrong. During the battle, Xiao Rui saw that there seemed to be a problem with the route of his own soldiers' advance and attack. Hit your own soldiers with precision.
In just half a minute, his own army was dead and wounded.
At this time, the battle information popped up on the screen, and the destruction progress was 59%, one star.
Xiao Rui realized that this was a problem with the placement of his soldiers, so Xiao Rui built another soldier and continued to try to attack other players.
After four or five consecutive attempts, there were failures and successes.
Looking at the results, Xiao Rui suddenly realized that he understood the gameplay of Clash of Clans - arranging troops is the core.
One's own buildings should be in a defensive formation as much as possible.
Various buildings such as city walls, arrow towers, cannons, base camps, etc. should be placed selectively. It is necessary to understand the routes and locations where the enemy may send troops, eliminate them to the greatest extent, and protect their own resources.
When attacking others, it is necessary to use the cooperation of various arms, and factors such as location and route must be taken into account to fully break through the opponent's defense.
This kind of game will hardly affect the balance, and whether you can play it well depends on your own skills.
After thinking about this, Xiao Rui became more interested in Clash of Clans. He is not a rich man, and the game has very little money. This kind of game is suitable for him.
So Xiao Rui began to rack his brains to think about how to place the formation and the way to send troops to break the formation, and soon became completely addicted to it.
Originally, Xiao Rui came to pick up his younger brother, who was working and studying in Shanghai, to go home for the Chinese New Year. Halfway through the road, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't played the game yet. It just so happened that it was noon, so the two brothers stopped at the service area to have a rest and eat. Stuff, by the way, play a game for a while.
And encountering Luo Fan was something that the Xiao Rui brothers did not expect.
"Mr. Luo, it's getting late and we should go. We have to go home for the Chinese New Year today!" Xiao Rui said, putting away his phone.
"Okay, then take your time and pay attention to safety on the road."
"Well, bye Mr. Luo." After speaking, Xiao Rui left the restaurant in the service area with his brother.
After Luo Fan and Li Jingyi finished their lunch quickly, they continued to drive home.
It was past 9 o'clock in the evening when the two returned to their hometown. Luo Fan sent Li Jingyi to the door of the house, and then drove to his grandparents' house.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, Luo Fan returned to his grandparents' house in the town.
At the moment, Grandpa Luo Fan's yard is brightly lit. This is the case this year. Every light that can be turned on in the house will be turned on.
Luo Fan entered the door with a large bag and a small bag.
But Luo Fan did not expect that as soon as he entered the door, he saw Luo Yang, the mayor of the town.
"Yeah! Xiaofan is back! Brother Hai, your son is back." Luo Yang shouted into the room.
All the family ran out.
"Why did you come back so late? I don't know how to come back early during the Chinese New Year." Cao Hongying said as she greeted her and took the things from Luo Fan's hand.
"Mom, I can't do anything about it. A new game from the company is about to be released. It's the best choice to be stuck during the New Year." Luo Fan explained.
"That can't be..."
"Alas! Hongying, don't talk about children when the Chinese New Year is old, just come back! Come in!" Luo Fan's grandmother greeted.
The family entered the house together, and only then did Luo Fan realize that besides Luo Yang, there were two others of the same age as Luo Hai.
It seemed that the four of them were playing mahjong just now.
"This is Hai Zi's son, right? What a talent!" said the oldest of the four.
Luo Hai wasn't sure whether Luo Fan still remembered this person, so he immediately introduced, "Leilei, this is Uncle Luo Wei from your second grandfather's house."
"Dad, I know, I got lost once, and Uncle Kong sent me back. Happy Chinese New Year." Luo Fan greeted Luo Kong with a smile.
"Leilei, you have a happy New Year too."
"This is Uncle Luo Zhou from your third grandfather's house." Luo Hai pointed to another man and said.
"Happy Chinese New Year, Uncle Zhou."
Luo Fan didn't have the slightest impression of Luo Zhou, he was quite sure that he had never seen this person in his past and present life.
After seeing Luo Fan's greetings, Cao Hongying asked Luo Fan, "Son, haven't you eaten yet?"
"Nope!"
"Mom left you something to eat in the kitchen." After saying that, Cao Hongying took Luo Fan to the kitchen.
After the mother and son came out, Luo Fan asked Cao Hongying directly, "Mom, why did Uncle Yang and the others all come here today?"
"It's because of Luozhou."
"Luozhou? What happened to him?" Luo Fan asked.
"When he was young, he fought with others on the spur of the moment and made him hemiplegia. He was in prison for 12 years and was just released last month. The relatives on your father's side felt that they could not leave him alone, so they thought of finding him someone Work."
"They want my dad to help arrange it?" Luo Fan asked.
"No, you also know that this town has a supply of fresh vegetables and fruits all year round, and the town's main income is also this. Luo Yang's idea is to open a direct sales store in the city and sell the village's fruits and vegetables in the store. They think Leave this work to Luo Zhou."
"Isn't this a good arrangement? I think it's perfectly fine! But what does this have to do with my dad?"
"They think your dad has been in the city for so many years and knows the city well, and they want your dad to help find a suitable place to open a store.
I think so! This shop is run by the town together, and the greenhouse vegetables grown by your grandparents can also benefit, but finding the address is actually not easy.
The success of a store's business has a lot to do with the choice of store. Think about it, son, if the business is not good after the store opens, isn't it your father's back? "
When Luo Fan heard the words, he suddenly remembered something Luo Hai had told him. In his previous life, Luo Yang came to Luo Hai more than a year after the accident in Luo Hai. Arrange a job, although you don't earn much, you can get a little bit of income.
Luo Hai happily agreed. For the next few months, every day Cao Hongying sent Luo Hai to the small shop first, and then went to the stall, and then brought Luo Hai back when the stall was closed.
It's a pity that Luo Hai's job didn't last long, and the shop closed down due to poor management.
Now it seems that this store should be opened by Luo Yang.
"Son, do you think we should help with this?" Cao Hongying asked.
"They're all from the same town, and they're all relatives. Besides, my grandparents can also benefit from this store. We should all help because of our feelings." Luo Fan replied.
"Your dad should think so too, so there's nothing you can do. You can only help find out if there are any good store locations."
Luo Fan nodded and said nothing.
In the days that followed, Luo Fan lay dead at home without doing anything except attending a junior high school reunion.
It was not until the fifth day of the new year that Luo Fan drove to the city.
As of today, it's been a week since Clash of Clans went live.
Clash of Clans downloads have slowed down after a week of soaring.
The current global total download is 72 million times, and it has topped the new game chart in more than 30 countries.
What's more, the reputation of Clash of Clans is still very good, not only domestic players have high praise for it, but also highly praised for Clash of Clans in the European and American markets.
This tower defense war game not only includes the gameplay of upgrading and development, but also the attributes of community games. It also guarantees a high degree of player freedom. At the same time, it also has a certain degree of strategy. It can be said to be an extremely mature masterpiece. .
Of all the mobile games on the market today, none can compare to it.
Seeing these compliments, Luo Fan thanked Xu Jiale in his heart. If Xu Jiale often used Clash of Clans as an example in his previous life, Luo Fan would not have been so impressed with this game, and he would probably have played it like other mobile games and forgotten it. .
And the current achievements of Clash of Clans are not only because of those commercial factors, but also because of the first few years of the mobile game industry. Simple and fun to open the market.
Angry Birds is the originator of casual mobile games.
The fruit ninja developed by Xingyuan, including Temple Run and other popular mobile games all over the world, are all casual mobile games.
At present, other mobile games that have made achievements in China, such as Penguin's Fishing Master, are also casual mobile games.
Everyone makes casual mobile games, because the development cost of casual mobile games is the lowest, the easiest, and it is easy to get started. It is difficult for this kind of game to make money.
But there are too many games of this type, and there will be aesthetic fatigue. Take Temple Escape as an example, no matter how you run, the final scene will be like that. Watching too much will make people feel like vomiting.
Not to mention that the current end game is so good, most players will not have too much stickiness for casual games after having experienced many end games with exquisite production, novel gameplay, operability, and strong combat.
To put it bluntly, the current mobile games are too low-end.
However, there is no way to do this. On the one hand, in the early stage of the development of smart phones, the hardware does not need to be too high for mobile games, and only casual games can be developed.
On the other hand, the network configuration can't keep up.
Therefore, the mobile game market at this stage can only be dominated by casual mobile games.
However, it is precisely because of this that when a game such as Clash of Clans that combines many end-to-end gameplay elements appeared, the enthusiasm of players was detonated.
The explosive results of Clash of Clans can be said to be at the right time and place. At the same time, it has also made many game developers realize one thing: the future of smart phones must be bright and brilliant, and it may even become the mainstream of society instead of computers.
People are always more interested in novelty.
It is especially attractive when it is more convenient and quicker.
Moreover, the main reason is that computers are not suitable for carrying around, especially for young people and students.
The mobile phone will be the easiest thing for them to accept and get.
Even though the end game is more playable, it is not as convenient as a mobile game.
All these reasons come together to form the current market environment.
The end game still has its incomparable pride and glory, but the era of mobile games has begun.
The direction of Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd. has always been based on smartphones, including the Xingyuan Cloud Service Center in front of Luo Fan.
After all, the cloud service center has been built for three months, and this is the first time Luo Fan has come here.
The security guards of the cloud service center were recruited by Luo Hai, and the technicians inside were 5 of the 15 programmers recruited by Xingyuan in the first batch.
Of course, they are only temporarily responsible for the operation of the supercomputer.
Luo Fan planned to contact Zhou Qingyun in a few days, and asked him to help hold a job fair in his hometown, and at the same time set up Xingyuan's first branch in his hometown.
But these are the things that happened in the next few days, and now Luo Fan just wants to see the legendary supercomputer.
In his previous life, Luo Fan had seen the top computer when he was under Xu Jiale, and he went with him to inspect the company's servers.
That server is the supercomputer that Penguin spent more than 16 million purchasing in 14 years.
You get what you pay for. In comparison, that supercomputer is not as good as this supercomputer that is far from the stars in all aspects.
