Chapter 1002 "Contra" Secrets
November 22nd finally arrived after much anticipation.
More than 50 million players got up early. In order to cope with the preliminary assessment of the senior consultant of the "Game R&D Room", everyone has been preparing for several days. Every day, they read relevant information about various games.
I inquired about its history, background, and sales performance that year. It can be said that for this assessment, I am working hard to become a senior consultant of the "Second World". This is a grand occasion that I have never had before when I was in school.
Many parents saw this scene and had to sigh - if they had known this, why bother in the first place. If they could study as hard as they do now, it would be possible to earn an annual salary of one million, let alone 100,000. Of course, this is a bit idealistic.
But it is true that people should seize time and not waste time. Otherwise, when you waste time, time will also waste you.
Many players were so diligent in "study" that they were so excited that they couldn't even sleep on the day of the official assessment. They got up early to prepare for the assessment at 2 p.m.!
Time passed by and 2pm finally arrived. With more than 50 million players gearing up, the first assessment finally began.
After all players who participated in the assessment log in to the assessment window, the entire screen goes black and the system automatically locks the keyboard. Players can only use the mouse to answer questions. If any other means are used, it will be regarded as cheating and will be directly disqualified. Of course, this does not
It cannot be ruled out that some players use two computers to take the assessment, one to answer questions and the other to check information online at any time. However, all the questions in this assessment are multiple-choice questions, and the time is set. If the answer cannot be answered within 10 seconds,
The calculation is wrong, so the possibility of cheating is eliminated to the greatest extent.
After the 5-second warning window, the official answer appeared. Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the first question. This question was too... too simple!
The first question is the secret of 30 lives in "Contra". Which of the following answers is correct?
Everyone was stunned when they saw the first question! Is this a problem? You must know that everyone had worked hard to read the information of various game companies, especially the history of "Second World" and Lin Feng's fortune.
It's almost like reciting it all. I don't know how many brain cells have died and how many nutrients have been swallowed by everyone in the past few days. The result is this kind of problem. For a while, many players who stayed up late and worked hard to become stronger felt like crying but had no tears.
The idea of letting the "second world" lose its youth.
After lamenting that their youth was wasted like this, everyone chose the answer c as quickly as possible: up, up, down, left, left, right, baba.
For the second question, everyone wanted to cry again but had no tears.
Question: How many levels are there in "Mushroom Picking"?
Simple! Simple! Simple! Everyone sighed again and again. Why did I stay up late these past few days to endorse such a simple question?
Level 8! Everyone chose the answer without thinking.
For the third question, everyone sighed helplessly. They had been convinced by the "Second World" question. It was too simple.
Question: How many characters can you choose from in the first generation of "Street Fighter"?
8! Everyone reluctantly chose the correct answer.
Question 4...
Question 5...
The more everyone chooses, the more they want to cry. This question is too damn easy, which simply insults their IQ as hardcore players. It can be said that they know how to choose these questions with their butts.
Despite everyone's repeated complaints, Lin Feng was in a very good mood. Originally, this was just a preliminary review, so the problem wouldn't be too difficult. If it were too difficult, too many players would be eliminated in the preliminary round, which would be very frustrating. This is terrible.
It's not what Lin Feng wants. Lin Feng just wants to get more players to participate in this assessment, so as to attract a lot of eyeballs and make a fortune at the same time.
In this assessment, Lin Feng auctioned some of the advertising prices, attracting the attention of more than 50 million people. If this "eyeball economy" does not make a fortune, it would be unreasonable. Therefore, if you want to make more money, just
You need to attract more players to invest in it. Naturally, you cannot eliminate most players too quickly.
What's more, in this preliminary assessment, Lin Feng just wants to eliminate those fake players. These questions are simple, but in fact they are not simple. Only players who have been playing the game for more than 10 years can answer them all correctly. As for those who are cramming,
Even if you occasionally get a few questions right, you won't be able to get them all right.
For example, in the first question, the 30-life secret of "Contra" is very simple and almost familiar, but it is the most sacred secret in the hearts of players who came from the Famicom era. At that time, I am afraid that it was in the minds of all players.
When you think of "Contra", this tip will naturally pop up. But for people who have not experienced the Famicom era, it may be difficult to know this tip.
The second question is, how many levels are there in "Mushroom Picking"? This question is not difficult. What is difficult is that Lin Feng deliberately used "Mushroom Picking", the name of the game in the minds of players at that time, instead of its official name "Super Mario".
, only those senior gamers can understand it.
As for the third question, the number of characters in "Street Fighter", you can choose 12 characters now when you play, but in the early days, only 8 people could choose. This is something that only senior gamers know very well. As for the subsequent question, is it not the case? It can be said
, these questions are indeed simple, but for some players, they are quite tricky and difficult. Moreover, Lin Feng deliberately asked about simple games in the first assessment, which was also irritating to some people.
In the end, after a quick 15-minute assessment, there were more than 50 million players, and finally more than 47.82 million people were left. The remaining millions of contestants who were eliminated were mostly white-collar workers who rarely play games.
After 10 minutes, the system automatically tallied the results of each player and whether they were promoted. Those eliminated players had nothing to do with their appearance. After such a simple question, after an assessment, the whole people celebrated for passing the first level. As a result, they
Most of these elites have been eliminated, which is really embarrassing. This is Lin Feng's stimulation. He hopes to use this to stimulate these people and let them invest in the world of games. Lin Feng does not expect them to participate every month.
It doesn't matter how many hours they put into the game, as long as they are willing to play it once in a while.
Of course, this assessment is also a bit unfair to some younger players. For example, players between 18 and 20 years old. Due to age restrictions, many of them only listen to the games designed with these test questions.
As I said, if you have never played before, you will naturally not be able to accurately answer the question, and you will often have to rely on guesswork. In this way, you will naturally not be able to answer all the answers correctly, and you will have to be eliminated. In this regard, such a small number of players are naturally resentful and hope that "the first
"Second World" can be fairer.
Lin Feng did not respond to the calls of these young gamers. After all, there is no absolute fairness in this world. Moreover, this assessment is to recruit three senior consultants of the "Game R&D Department".
Those who have contributed to the company, rather than those who are really invited to be vases. Players who are too young will naturally be eliminated! This is also the original intention of the first assessment. To eliminate those players who do not have senior game experience.
Some people are happy and some are sad! However, most people are still quite happy. In order to celebrate passing the first assessment, they all call their friends and go out to drink to celebrate. It must be said that Lin Feng’s assessment was unexpectedly expanded.
It has boosted domestic demand and made a considerable contribution to the catering industry in various places. Naturally, many restaurant owners welcomed this sudden increase in customer flow, and even called on Lin Feng to hold more such competitions. It would be best if it was as simple as this.
Assessment, after all, if the players are happy, they will eat and drink, and they can also earn a little more. What makes most players who successfully passed the assessment slightly unhappy is that the assessment ended at 2:15 pm, and after waiting for the notification of passing, it was only 2 pm
:30. After getting excited, it’s a bit early to want to drink.
After one night, the next day, November 23, Sunday, the second assessment started again at 4 pm. This time, we adopted the suggestions of yesterday's players and changed the assessment time to 4 pm. In this way, after the players complete the assessment, they will naturally pass.
You can go have a drink to celebrate. If you don’t pass, you can also drink to vent. Anyway, whether you pass or not, it can give everyone a reason to get together.
In the midst of gearing up, the second assessment begins again.
However, the content of this assessment is no longer as simple as before, but begins to involve the core of the game.
The first question is, why is "Legend of Sword and Fairy" attractive?
a: Plot; b: Pictures and fighting methods; c: Poetry; d: Music.
This question is a headache. There are three attractive things about "Legend of Sword and Fairy", one is the music, the other is the poems in it, and the third is the plot. Of course, fundamentally speaking, it is the plot that is attractive, but other
Music and the poems in it are also important reasons that make "Legend of Sword and Fairy" so successful.
How to choose?——Everyone was confused for a while.
The first question was so troublesome, and everyone began to realize that this assessment would not be as simple as the last time. After weighing it, everyone chose "plot". After all, the core of a game is the plot.
Then the second question..., the third question...
Just 15 minutes passed by in a hurry. When the last question came to an end, everyone felt as if a century had passed. This assessment was all extremely confusing questions. It’s not that the questions were difficult;
They were all very uncomfortable. They were all difficult questions like the first question, which made everyone suffer a lot. Many people answered the questions in a hurry under the pressure of time, which made everyone very upset.
Finally, 10 minutes after the answer, the system announced the admission results. This time, there were only more than 21 million people left, and nearly half of the players were eliminated.
In celebration and helplessness, the players began to celebrate again. As for the third assessment, it will continue on the weekend a week later.
Chapter completed!
