Chapter 222 Determining the Rules

"Then there is the specific competition mechanism." Lin You looked at the activity plan.

"Cancel all NPCs to make room for players. Players will appear collectively in a team of 10, carrying basic weapons. The range of activities that players can move will be continuously reduced, forcing players to fight, and the winner will be the one left in the end..."

Lin You felt a strong sense of déjà vu. Why did he end up on the road to "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" when he originally imagined a melee of tens of thousands of people?

Is it true that the end of the universe is chicken eating?

"No, we have to change it." Players may be very interested in this kind of gameplay, but Lin You is tired of it, and it's not very entertaining enough, so something new must be added!

"The NPCs are all left. If all the NPCs disappear, then the Metropolitan Police's strike will be meaningless."

"If players shoot NPCs indiscriminately..." Qin Songyun said worriedly, "It will have a very bad impact, especially if we want to live broadcast."

"This is related to what I'm going to say next." Lin You simply took over.

"Introduce a points mechanism, gain points by defeating opponents, and deduct points by accidentally killing NPCs in the metropolis."

"When selecting the winner in the end, the quota will be divided. 60% will be selected based on score, and 40% will be selected based on survival ranking. If there is overlap, it will be postponed downwards."

Qin Songyun thought for a while and said hesitantly: "Should we add a guarantee mechanism so that the team's final points cannot be 0? Otherwise, even if the player's survival area is continuously reduced, some people may survive all the way to the end. This will seem to the players who are actively fighting.

Not fair."

Lin You fell into deep thought, what he said did make sense.

Others took risks and fought hard to get to the end, but in the end they were not selected because of the fierce battle. Instead, they did nothing and only entered the finals. How unbalanced was it?

But he felt it would be a pity if this kind of moralistic method was completely abolished.

He quickly thought of a solution: "Let's do this, we can add a negative game penalty mechanism. Players who have not joined the battle for a long time will mark the negative game and mark the location directly on the map so that everyone can see it."

"How about one minute after joining the battle, the mark will be automatically canceled?"

Qin Songyun nodded decisively, "Absolutely."

"There is another question." Qin Songyun spoke again, "Should we put heavy weapons in the event map? Will it affect the fairness of the game?"

In the original metropolis map, there were heavy weapons. In terms of lethality, mines and grenades were not ranked at all.

There are armored vehicles, howitzers, helicopters, and even Gatlings!

Although players now have no chance to get many weapons, even if they get them, there is a high probability that they will not be able to operate them.

[Shooting Specialization] This skill does not include heavy weapons.

Of course, [Driving proficiency] cannot include helicopters...

But there are so many players, what if?

If a team of Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons were to drive an armored vehicle and carry Gatling on the streets, without the checks and balances of the Metropolitan Police, the result might be a direct sweep of the competition!

Unless a team can fly a helicopter into the sky and use a 30mm cannon to fight back...

Qin Songyun shook his head vigorously to get this outrageous idea out of his mind.

"Keep it." Lin You didn't mind watching the excitement, and was even considering whether to add more heavy weapons to let the players have a good time.

"Anyway, those things are hard to get, otherwise no player would have gotten them until now. A team that is not afraid of death and is willing to take risks can get them. At most, it is high risk and high reward. There is nothing unfair."

Qin Songyun opened his mouth, but couldn't find a reason to object, so he could only nod: "Okay."

"Then, let's start preparations today. Add more randomly generated maps outside the metropolis, arrange the players' arrival locations, and ensure that 10,000 players can be accommodated. Then don't crowd them all together at the start. Equipment and supplies The density of supplies must be controlled to guide players to gather for battle."

"Understood." Qin Songyun nodded.

After Lin Yuan said, he looked at Shen Ping, who was in charge of publicity: "We can prepare for the promotion of the event. This time, "Metropolitan News" will release it two days in advance. It will publish the event preview in the news to give players time to form teams and prepare."

Shen Ping nodded. Under the influence of the vast number of netizens, everyone has become accustomed to calling this program "Metropolitan News". The title "Assassin Weekly" was quickly replaced without realizing it.

"Okay, go ahead and do your own thing."

Lin You breathed a long sigh of relief and wanted to take a rest for a while.

However, he suddenly received news from the administration: the head of the marketing department of Nanzhi came and said that he wanted to discuss cooperation with him.

"Talk about cooperation? Why are you looking for me?" Lin You was a little impatient.

"Didn't you tell Zhong Chang that if they still want to cooperate, they will come to you in person?"

Lin You thought for a while, oh, this really happened, "Okay."

Nearly a week has passed since the cooperation negotiation with Nanzhi. In Lin You, it had long been relegated to the "past things" list, but now they came to discuss cooperation again?

Lin You showed no interest in going offline and walked towards the rest area.

"Hello, Boss Lin." The person in charge in a suit stood up politely and shook hands with Lin You.

"Hello." Lin You sat down with him.

"It's not easy to meet Boss Lin. It's even harder than meeting our boss. Boss Lin is really a busy man."

Lin You blinked, feeling that what he said was a bit strange, but he was too lazy to think about it and said straight to the point: "Yes, I am indeed very busy. If you have anything to say, please tell me."

The person in charge from Nanzhi was named Jin Wenjun. He sighed inwardly that the nouveau riche did not understand etiquette, but there was no trace of it on his face: "Of course it is to discuss cooperation with you."

Lin You frowned. Didn't the cooperation talks fall apart once? Now it looks like nothing happened. Who can show it?

"What kind of cooperation? Let's talk about it."

"You should have listened to the report from your staff. Of course, I am willing to explain it to you in detail." Jin Wenjun looked very patient.

Lin You also patiently listened to his explanation and wanted to see if they would be more open minded after a week.

But Jin Wenjun started to talk endlessly about how powerful Nazhi's brand is, its cultural heritage, and its international influence... The game industry is just a small lane and cannot be promoted on the stage. It is your Yunmeng's blessing to be able to cooperate...

He didn't say this explicitly, but that's what he meant. It's not difficult to notice that although he respects the game industry on the surface, he actually doesn't think highly of the game industry.

Lin You frowned when he heard this, but since they didn't say it clearly, he couldn't just say it and show off his face.

He turned his head and glanced at Ye Xiaohe to make sure that she had not started filming. He just muttered and tried to "tell a show" to the dog, and then called out: "Xiaohe, help me, get a glass of water for this... this gentleman."

.”

Lin You held a plenary meeting, and personnel and administration were also present. Jin Wenjun came as soon as the meeting was over.

There are only a few administrative girls, and they are still busy dealing with the things arranged at the meeting. I was so careless that I didn't even pour a cup of tea.

Ye Xiaohe raised his head and looked at Lin You, a little surprised, but quickly responded: "Oh, okay."

In Yunmeng Studio, besides wine, there are all the snacks and drinks you want, but Lin You only said "get a glass of water."

Ye Xiaohe was very smart and understood immediately: the person who came was not welcome.

So Ye Xiaohe actually took out a pack of disposable paper cups, opened it, took out one, took a glass of water and carried it over.

After placing it in front of the guests, he immediately took out the best Lapsang Souchong tea, brewed it, and then brought the tea cup to Lin You.

——Ye Xiaohe is actually very good at it. She is a choreographer, and her level of tea art is zero. At most, she only knows how to drink the first brew, and she knows nothing else.

But that's not important. Anyway, the purpose is to crowd in, not really to drink.

And the effect of such a blatantly small-minded behavior is naturally very powerful.

Jin Wenjun was just surprised at first as to why he only brought water to him and not to Lin You who was opposite him, but he didn't pay much attention and just assumed that he didn't need it.

But not long after, he saw the girl coming over with a tea cup again and placing it in front of Lin You. The contrast should not be too obvious!

Originally, he was talking endlessly about Nanzhi's international influence, but when he saw this comparison, his expression became a little tense.

What's even more outrageous is that Ye Xiaohe hasn't finished her performance yet!

She took out three exquisite small porcelain bowls from the drawer, filled them with water and placed them on the ground. The cats and dogs gathered in a circle and began to drink water.

Ye Xiaohe even turned his head and glanced at Jin Wenjun before continuing to pet the cat and give milkshake to the puppy.

Jin Wenjun's eyelids twitched. He still didn't understand what she meant?

——All dogs drink from ceramic vessels! He is the only one who can only use disposable paper cups?!

He used his strong willpower to resist the urge to throw away the paper cup in his hand, and finally stopped talking about all the twists and turns and started to get to the point.

But what Lin You heard was the same old story: in the metropolitan virtual world, all clothing stores should be replaced with virtual storefronts in Nanzhi, and the stores should be like amusement parks and become completely safe areas.

"Stop, I remember we rejected this once."

"Mr. Lin, don't be anxious. A businessman must be mature and make decisions after careful consideration." Jin Wenjun is still confident, "By cooperating with Nanzhi, Yunmeng will get great brand benefits. You must know that when cooperating with high-end brands,

But it’s a rare opportunity! And our offer this time is – a full 10 million!”

"You can earn 10 million by changing a few lines of data with just a move of your fingers. Why not?"

Lin You frowned, "Do you have any misunderstandings about the game industry?"

"What do you mean?" Jin Wenjun was confused.

"I sold 17 million consoles last Saturday. How much is the specific sales? Do you want me to help you calculate it?"

“Last Friday our new game was launched, and the revenue in three days was 160 million.”

"Oh, there is also "League of Assassins" that you want to cooperate with. I wonder if you have ever calculated that one copy sells for 500 yuan and we have sold more than 15 million copies. How much does it add up to?"

Jin Wenjun was speechless by this series of figures. He wanted to say that no matter how much you earn from these figures, wouldn't it conflict with earning more through cooperation?

"We are not competing with each other for having more money." Jin Wenjun's tone became lower and lower. This was due to the power of money.

You, Nanzhi, are so awesome, do you make more revenue in one year than I do in one month?

If not, shut up!

No matter how much Jin Wenjun advocates culture, influence, and brand, he becomes vulnerable under this huge money gap.

"We are talking about cooperation, and both parties will benefit from the cooperation. 10 million for an advertisement is already a big deal."

But Lin You no longer wanted to waste time, and he didn't want to think about whether his performance today was some kind of negotiation strategy or really retarded.

He stood up and said, "I don't need your three melons and two dates. You can keep them for yourself."

"Stop talking about cooperation, please come back."
