Chapter 281: Chapter 280-cancel the fees for runes and heroes
He had decided to make League of Legends, but he still had to think about what to do.
Strictly speaking, League of Legends was a very successful game in terms of business, but in terms of balance and competitiveness, there were some flaws to increase the business level.
It had been popular for several years because of the constant updates, which constantly brought new feelings to the players and diluted the game's imbalance to the greatest extent.
Regardless of whether this method was the best solution or not, at least it solved the problem.
It allowed the players to play new powerful heroes every time there was a new version update. This allowed them to have different kinds of fun.
In Chen Mo's opinion, there were many reasons why League of Legends went down this path in his previous life, but there were two main reasons. One was the position of the game itself, and the other was the company's characteristics.
In terms of positioning, League of Legends was a game with the ultimate goal of exploring, expanding, and unifying the market. It was for this purpose that they tried to reduce the difficulty of getting used to it (even at the expense of the game's balance).
Therefore, the subsequent operating strategies and version updates had to continue with this goal. This had been decided from the very beginning, and they were of the same lineage.
As for the company's characteristics, it meant that fist company wasn't a big company with a lot of money at the beginning. It slowly developed with League of Legends. Opening up the market and developing games all required money, so it had to consider the game's ability to generate revenue.
This was the same reason why Chen Mo had to make some pay-to-win games in the beginning.
As for the operator, there was no need to explain. Everyone on earth knew whether it liked to make money or not.
Of course, after the success of League of Legends, more and more people began to consider changing their style, such as removing the level limit and the rune system.

He even considered completely removing the fees charged by the players for League of Legends, and using the events and other games as the main point of profit (just like traditional sports).
There were several major versions of League of Legends in Chen Mo's previous life, and every major change would change the entire game, so he had to think carefully about which version to make.
……
In his own studio, Chen Mo started to write the design concept for League of Legends.
This was probably the longest draft he had ever written. Even though he knew most of the game's content by heart, there were still some key issues that he had to consider carefully.
The most important point was what the final form of the game should be like.
Chen Mo's goal was the same as the fist companies in his previous life. He wanted a MOBA game that was easy to get started with, a phenomenal hit game that would dominate the PC market for a long time, and cut off any other MOBA games that might appear.
As such, Chen Mo's League of Legends was going to be a relatively simple game.
If it was too complicated, MOBA games that were easier to operate would take over the market, and it would be impossible to achieve a comprehensive domination.
Second, to what extent should the game be competitive and balanced?
In his previous life, League of Legends had been criticized for its talent and rune system. In particular, the rune system made the game an unfair game to a certain extent, because it made players of different game hours have a difference in combat power when they entered the same game.
Of course, the rune system had its own purpose.
First, to provide the players with a sense of growth and long-term pursuit.
Two, create a variety of games based on different runes for different heroes.
3. Earn money.

But later on, the design of the fist was also removed during the revision.
Chen Mo's decision was to keep the talent in the first version of League of Legends and remove the runes.
The player's level limit was still level 30, but their talents would all be unlocked within level 10. In other words, as long as the player worked a little harder to reach level 10, he would not have any difference in attributes compared to other players.
There was also a change in the content of the revenue: All heroes were free, and all the revenue came from skins and other value-added services that did not affect combat power.
Cutting off the fees from runes and heroes would definitely affect the revenue of League of Legends, but Chen Mo knew that there were more benefits.
He wanted to make League of Legends into an absolutely fair competitive game. This way, it would be more professional.
The reason Chen Zhao dared to do this was because he was in a different situation from fist company. If fist company started with a headwind, then he started with a headwind.
Fist company had to consider the game's profitability, but Chen Mo didn 't.
Chen Mo had plenty of money for research and development, and even if he didn't have enough, he could just make pay-to-win games. There was no need to use League of Legends to take money from the players.
It didn't matter if League of Legends didn't make any money in the first six months or even a year. As long as they could increase the number of players and create a prototype of e-sports, it would be hard not to make money in the future.
In other aspects, Chen Mo was considering using the framework of League of Legends in S3, with some adjustments.
Season 1 and Season 2 of League of Legends were the early stages of development. Season 3 was the time when the game truly developed its own style and had a wide impact on the world.
Especially since Season 3, League of Legends began to produce a large number of LOL-style Champions, such as: Jayce, Zyra, brightmoon, Rengar, ruler of darkness, Kazik, Queen of spiders, Zed, thresh, Zach, and so on.
These heroes were all classic heroes that took into account the hero's mechanism and operation. It was because of these heroes that League of Legends had such a strong vitality, allowing it to have a complete explosion in S3 and finally establish its dominant position.
If simple heroes like a Mumu, stone man, and garen were the cornerstones of League of Legends, then these "Sima" heroes that could be shown were the face of League of Legends.
It was these heroes who could show off that allowed the game to cater to the vast majority of players and have a long life.
Of course, the version that Chen Mo was going to make would be different from any version in his previous life.
Chen Mo was even thinking of adjusting the entire system of League of Legends so that most of the heroes could be used, and the game would be more diverse.

Chapter 282: Chapter 281-detailed settings
The League of Legends design draft that Chen Mo was working on could be divided into four parts.
The first part was the core fun and basic rules of the game.
The second part was the map and game mechanism.
The third part was the hero setting.
The fourth part was the summoner-related settings and other things.
MOBA games were actually very simple to create. They just had to fight on a map, unlike RPG and adventure games that required many levels.
However, MOBA games were very complex in terms of game mechanics and balance. From its appearance to its popularity, the game mechanics were constantly improved, finally making MOBA games the most popular PC game type in the world.
Chen Mo's design draft was as follows.
In terms of game mechanics, there were four game modes: human-machine, matchmaking, ranking, and chaotic battle.
Players must go through beginner's lessons and upgrade to Level 3 through the AI training before they can enter the matching mode.
As for the ranking competition, players had to have at least four heroes with proficient proficiency to participate.
There was a friend and merchant system. In the friend system, one could watch other players fight, while the merchant system allowed one to buy various skins and other value-added services.
In terms of Summoner-related settings, players could check their game records, ranks, hero list, talents, Summoner skills, equipment, and other game content.
The ranking was designed in a classic way, from bronze to King.
In the hero list, every hero had the concept of "proficiency". Only when the proficiency reached a certain level could they be used for ranking.
In his current plan, proficiency was divided into six levels, namely apprentice, beginner, master, expert, master, and Grandmaster.
When players played in different modes, the proficiency of the current hero would be increased as a restriction.
Only the Champions with beginner proficiency could be used for matchmaking, and only those with master proficiency could be used for ranking matches. As for the experts, Masters, and grandmasters ... They were only there to show off.
In terms of Summoner skills, they were still the more commonly used ones: sprint, heal, barrier, weaken, teleport, flash, purify, ignite, and smite. In a chaotic battle, there would be a marking (snowball) and a clarity spell.
The equipment was relatively more complicated. He would slowly research it during the development process. However, he would have some more classic equipment such as a hat, an Ice Staff, a hourglass, and so on. He could also consider adding back the underworld fire that he had lost.
In terms of the map, it still used the classic Summoner's Rift, but it still followed the map mechanism of S6, including various explosive fruits, divination fruits, Elemental Dragons, and so on.
These new map mechanisms would make the entire map more diverse and add a lot of random fun, allowing players to speed up the game while fighting for map resources.
At the same time, Chen Mo considered slightly reducing the effects of wards in the game, including raising the price of wards, reducing the duration of wards, increasing the benefits of wards, and increasing items like the fog of trickery.
Due to the fixed strategies in League of Legends and the importance of vision, vision suppression made the game very boring in high-end games and professional competitions. It made the game lose its spirit to a certain extent, and it was almost impossible for the unorthodox to win again.
What Chen Mo wanted was more new strategies and more dramatic effects, not some team building a long dynasty with mechanical training.
And most importantly, Chen Mo wouldn't make the heroes according to the original order in League of Legends, but would adjust the order according to his own needs.
Chen Mo planned to create around twenty-five heroes in the first patch, with a new one every two weeks. This was to keep the players fresh, and at the same time, it was a step-by-step process, so that they wouldn't be completely dumbfounded by the number of heroes they'd come across.
……
After finishing the design document, Chen Mo called everyone for a meeting.
After a brief introduction of League of Legends, most of them understood Chen Mo's design.
After all, with the two game prototypes of Chenghai 3c and COG, everyone could roughly imagine the final state of League of Legends after it was completed. They only had some doubts about the popularity and profitability of the game.
Qian Kun asked,"uh, manager, this game is completely free. It doesn't sell any combat power. Even the heroes are given for free. Can the profits be supported by the skins alone?"
The others also had the same question.
Most of them knew about Chenghai 3c and COG, but they were still Warcraft maps and had no profit.
How to turn it into a complete game wasn't just a problem for the gas, but also for the creators of Chen Mo's team.
According to the traditional way of making games, the best way would be to buy out and add in the value of the game, so that the game would be delayed for a while. At least, they could earn back the production cost through sales, just like when they released Warcraft.
It was a risky move to pay for the skins. What if there were not enough players and they did not buy the skins?
Chen Mo explained,"regarding that, everyone needs to understand the goal of League of Legends." It's different from Warcraft, as Warcraft is made for RTS players, which is a small group of players, so we can only make money from sales. "
"But League of Legends is different. This is a completely new game, and its goal is all the players. "
Everyone was shocked. All the players?
Wasn't this a little too exaggerated?
Does that mean that by then, whether it's RPG or FPS players, they'll all like League of Legends?
Everyone was in disbelief.
Of course, out of respect for their boss and their love for the bonus, everyone put on an expression that said,"yes, yes, yes, you're right."
Chen Zhao smiled and didn't mind.
Indeed, when MOBA games first appeared, only a few people could see the potential behind them. Even some high-quality game designers in big companies didn't have a proper understanding of their prospects.
Otherwise, the ice frog and Blizzard wouldn't have parted ways.
Chen Mo didn't want to say too much about the future development of League of Legends. After all, the time wasn't right yet. Saying too much would be like bragging and making Chicken Soup for the Soul. There was no need to do so.
Only poor bosses would do that. Chen Zhao could totally buy the loyalty and passion of all his employees with money.
Chen Mo looked at everyone,'if there's no more questions, let's get to work. The research and development period for the first version is three months. We have to make the first version of League of Legends before the Spring Festival, including the completion of all 25 heroes. "

Chapter 283: Chapter 282 hero
In the first version of League of Legends, Chen Mo planned to have 25 Champions and five positions, with each position having five Champions. The difficulty was from low to high.
At the beginning of League of Legends, there was no top lane, mid lane, jungler, Archer, or support. At that time, there was still the Archer who played mid, and the lineup and tactics of passersby games were very chaotic.
However, in the S2 period, some of the top teams in Europe developed the "EU style," which was a double-player method for top, mid, jungler, and bottom lane. It was accepted by the fist and became the official designated lineup configuration of League of Legends.
Many people might criticize the rigidity of this configuration, but its advantage was also very obvious. It had found an official recommended lineup for League of Legends. With the guidance of this recommended lineup, players could get used to it more easily, understand the arrangement of the lineup, and choose a relatively perfect lineup.
It was of great significance to the promotion of League of Legends, and from the later development, it was also the most suitable lineup for the game.
Just like how RPG games had the "Iron Triangle of tactics, mages, and priests", although this routine was more rigid, it provided players with an easy-to-understand and easy-to-remember rule and framework.
For example, when a player asked how to play hero xxx, as long as he was told that it was a mid-lane hero, he would be able to guess what the hero did. However, if you told him that this champion could carry, support, split the team, and play in any way, he would probably be dumbfounded.
As such, Chen Mo introduced the different classes to the players in the first patch, using them as the main label for heroes. Traditional classes like assassins and tanks were only used as notes to help players understand the character's characteristics.
The twenty-five Champions Chen Mo planned to develop in the first version of League of Legends were as follows.
[Top lane: garen, lava beast, Timo, Barbarian King, Weapon Master]
[Middle lane: Annie, Kassadin, Death Song, Twisted Fate, Phoenix]
Jungler: Nu Nu, a Mu Mu, Sword Saint, clown, Gragas
[Sharpshooters: lucky sister, Ezreal, Esch, ratty, Vayne]
Support: Soraka, Lulu, Tauren, sona, Blitzcrank
Many of these Champions had been redone, and even the hero's mechanism had been greatly changed. For example, Gragas was originally a mid-laner champion, but it was later changed to a jungler.
Overall, Chen Mo didn't plan on making older versions of heroes. The reason was simple, because older versions of heroes were at odds with the general framework of LOL. They were either uninteresting, or too strong, which wasn't good for the balance and promotion of the game.
In general, most of the heroes that were remade in LOL were more successful than the old versions.
These 25 Champions were selected after some consideration by Chen Mo. The difficulty of getting started went from the lowest to the highest, and each champion had different positions.
Some Champions, like most of these five jungler Champions, were hard to see in the pro scene due to their mechanics, but they were easy to get used to. Newbies needed Nunu and Blademaster Champions to get used to jungler mechanics, so Chen Mo included them in the development plan for the first version.
Moreover, even if they were in the same position, Chen Mo would try to pick Champions with different positions, such as jungler. There were junglers like a Mumu who relied on team battles, and there were junglers like Blademaster who preferred to play solo.
Of course, there were many more fun and showy heroes, but those were left for future development.
Chen Mo planned to release a new version every two months after the first one, with five heroes in each version, giving the players two months to digest.
……
Even though the general framework of League of Legends had been finalized, everyone still had a lot of doubts about the concept draft.
The biggest question was, why did he have to use a new IP?
Up until now, whether it was the main creators of Chen Mo's team or the loyal players of Thunderbolt gaming, they all had the habit of calling it 'Warcraft'. No matter what type of game they made, they all wanted to be associated with 'Warcraft'.
Of course, their questions about League of Legends were also very reasonable. Since there were already heroes from Warcraft, why not use them? Why did they have to create a new IP?
Although the slogan "Demacia" also sounded quite cool, it was not as cool as Azeroth.
Chen Zhao explained it this way.
The game wanted to capture the most extensive player base, so it was inevitable that the style would be cartoonish, cartoonish, and bright, which was in conflict with the realistic and dark art style of monster.
Furthermore, League of Legends would become a brand new IP, and it would be a very exciting world just like Diablo. Didn't Diablo not follow the world view of Warcraft?
Chen Zhao's serious nonsense successfully dispelled most people's doubts.
After making Warcraft and Diablo, Chen Mo's team had no problems making League of Legends in terms of technique and art.
When Chen Mo made Diablo, he also wanted to train his team, and after the success of the third person RPG, he naturally released League of Legends.
Currently, the most difficult part was balancing the numbers, but Chen Mo was able to do it with his second stage of coding and the memory he got from the memory playback potion.
After all, the numerical system in League of Legends was relatively clear. It was nothing more than attack, defense, magic damage, magic resistance, and the calculation formula was not too complicated.
Apart from Zhao Yunting and a small group of people responsible for the daily maintenance of Thunderbolt gaming platform, the entire team began to put all their energy into developing the new game, League of Legends.
……
The popularity of COG seemed to be rising every day.
The creator of this map, Clive Larman, also displayed his workaholic nature. Every week, he would make some small numerical balance changes to the map, and occasionally, he would make major changes to the terrain and game mechanics, making it a more complete map.
Although these changes could not be made in the country immediately, there were still many enthusiastic players who were constantly moving it and translating it into Chinese.
In China, many Warcraft players were addicted to this map, and it gradually became the most popular map in Warcraft, even more popular than the stairway tree.
On the forums, more and more players were talking about COG. At first, everyone was disgusted, thinking that an RPG map shouldn't take up so many pages. But as COG became more and more popular, everyone got used to it.
There were already a lot of people leaving messages or private messages to Chen Mo, asking him to pay more attention to this picture, to give it some special recommendations, or to open up the ladder system.
Some even hoped that Chen Mo would work with the original author to create a new game that would be similar to Warcraft.
Chen Zhao ignored all of these suggestions.

Chapter 284: Full value of numerics ability Tier 2
In the studio, Chen Mo was madly drawing the lottery.
The last time he did it was before he did Minecraft, and he got some numerics balancing skill books, architecture skill books, Photoshop skill books, and even poison milk capsules.
It was also thanks to these skill books that Chen Mo was able to beautify Minecraft to the level required for a VR game, and build so many classic buildings in the game, creating so many topics and gimmicks for Minecraft.
There was also the poison milk capsule, which was a trick for old Yan, causing thousand Hells 'popularity to cool down a little, allowing Minecraft to take the opportunity to make a name for itself.
Actually, Chen Zhao was just testing it out when he used the poison milk capsule, because no one knew if it would work.
Everyone felt that thousand Hells 'popularity was not rising due to some mysterious reason, but Chen Mo wasn't sure if it was due to the poison milk capsules.
This time, Chen Mo was aiming to get more skill books for balancing.
In Chen Mo's opinion, League of Legends in his previous life wasn't that well-balanced, so he hoped to use his own black technology to make the game very balanced, allowing most of the heroes to play.
This time, Chen Mo was rich. He put in 50 million, which was 50 thousand diamonds, enough for 500 draws.
As for where the money went, Chen Zhao had no idea.
Considering that the system could even produce things like memory playback potions and poison milk capsules, it shouldn't be a problem to hide the flow of Chen Mo's assets. At least, so far, no relevant Department had come to Chen Zhao for tea.
Pull, pull, pull ...
Every time he pulled the lever, it would automatically cost him 990 diamond player's item *10, but even so, Chen Mo still had to pull the lever 50 times.
After all, that was 50 million, which could fill 16 luggage bags in cash.
The final gains were as follows.
Design-type skill book for building balance (Grade 2): 100 books
Design-type plot creation skill book (level two): 30 books
Professional knowledge of design engine (classic strategy in League of Legends): 100 books
Professional knowledge for designing (psychology teaching material for gaming): 100 books
Display building art (3D model): 40 books
Display-type building art (action special effects): 50 books
Display-type engine music and sound effects skill book: 30 books
[Item-type engine speed regulator: 20]
Item-type bone memory playback potion (upgraded): 10
Item-type engine super focuser (upgraded): 20
"Hmm, not bad. The numerics skill book is full."
Chen Mo was quite satisfied with the draw this time. He had maxed out all the coding skill books, and his coding skills were maxed out in the second stage. He was finally able to balance the coding in League of Legends with ease.
The story writing skill book was not of much use at the moment, but it was not a bad thing to improve the story writing ability.
As for the 200 books of professional knowledge and skills, it was a bit of a pain in the ass.
What did the classic tactics in League of Legends do to deserve 10 million?
However, when he thought about it, in his previous life, the big clubs would spend more than 10 million over a few years to hire a good coaching team. Thinking about it this way, 10 million was quite worth it.
As for the 100 books on psychology, especially for gaming, Chen Mo could only curse in his heart. It could only be said that the system was really unscrupulous in order to make money!
Chen Mo also needed skills related to art and music. Although League of Legends itself did not require high model precision and action standards, the higher the model precision, the better it was. This was because the PC configuration in the parallel world was generally higher, so there was no need to consider deliberately lowering the configuration to promote the game.
Moreover, the hero's various actions would affect some settings, such as the turning speed, movement speed, attack interval, Casting Swing, and so on. These were more detailed issues, closely related to the art performance and game balance. The more perfect it was, the better.
As for the music, fist in his previous life was willing to pay a huge price for the 'lol' music and even held a special concert. Chen Mo didn't expect his 'lol' to be better than his previous life's music, but it had to be at least on par.
In terms of special items, there were also the memory playback potion and the Super focuser. The functions were still similar to before, but the effects were many times better. After all, the current lottery price was also very touching.
After maxing out his coding abilities in the second stage, Chen Mo finally had the confidence to make League of Legends even more successful than it was in his previous life.
……
Just as Chen Mo was feeling smug, he received a message on his phone.
It was an invitation to join a group chat.
"Qiu Hengyang invites you to join the group chat: The failed designer's home. "
Chen Zhao was unhappy when he saw this.
What the hell? why did the designer's home fail?
If you want to die, you can die, but I'm not going to die. The game I made is very popular.
No.
He directly rejected her.
In less than two minutes, the group invitation came again. This time, Qiu Hengyang even sent him a private message: "Come quickly, there's an important matter!"
"Change the group name," Chen Mo replied."I'll only enter if you call it Big Boss designer's home."
"Wait, I'm looking for the group leader," Qiu Hengyang said.
A moment later, another group invitation came.
"Qiu Hengyang invites you to join the big boss designer house."
This time, Chen Mo clicked [accept] with satisfaction.
The group chat was quite lively and they were chatting.
"Ah, I do feel like the distributors are going to fight it out, -Li Feng said–it's a little scary. It's a good thing for us independent game designers now, but who knows what will happen in the future?"
Zhu fanglin: "I heard that Emperor dynasty is preparing for a new game. They obviously want to make a name for themselves with-high-quality game to prove the value of the new channel."
"I'm panicking!"The wings of star elves supported Li Feng.
Dream journey's Deputy, Zhou Haibin: "don't worry. You can't help even if you're panicking."
Lin hailing-the nightmare tapir-'eh? Why did the group name change? wasn't it house of failed designers? why did it become the big boss 'house of designers? Then should I leave the group?"
Wings of star elves 'support, Li Feng: "eh, there's a new member.' Mister '. Why does this name sound familiar?" F * ck, could it be Chen Zhao? Did you really drag Chen Zhao into this?"
Chen Mo looked at the members of the group and saw that they all had the same name card, all of which were game designers 'names. It was easy to tell that most of the famous independent game designers in the country were in this group.
There were more than four hundred people in the group, including successful independent video game designers like Li Feng, Zhu fanglin, and Zhou Haibin. There were also some designers that he had never heard of.
However, there should be a certain threshold to enter this group. It seemed that the lowest was a C-grade video game designer, and they had to be designers who had no connections with big companies.

Chapter 285: Chapter 284-all the big bosses love to act like newbies
"Hello, big bosses," Silent said.
The wings of star elves supported Li Feng."F-ck-I don't deserve it. I'm just a little loser-you're the real big Boss."
"Big Boss, don't be so humble. Everyone in this group is a Big Boss."
[Administrator] hengyou network's Deputy Qiu Hengyang: "Stop flattering each other. Hurry up and change the group's name card."
"How?""which game should I write?"
Everyone was speechless.
The others only had one particularly famous game, like Li Feng's wings of star elves and Zhou Haibin's dream journey, but Chen Mo's games were all quite famous.
The Onmyoji that had harvested the mobile game market?
The Warcraft that could sweep away RTS games?
Or was it Minecraft that just became popular on the VR platform?
[Administrator] hengyou network's Deputy Qiu Hengyang: "Alright, I'll help you change it."
[Silent has been renamed to Thunderbolt gaming's Chen Mo.]
Chen Mo's games were all quite famous, so he decided to use his company's name as a prefix.
In fact, Qiu Hengyang was the same. His games weren't too different, and none of them were particularly popular, so his name was prefixed with hengyou network.
"We were still discussing this in the morning," Lin hailing said."And now we're talking about Chen Mo. The administrators sure know how to network!"
[Group leader] Zhang xiaokong, the referee of the Three Kingdoms of Godsfall: "Ahem, sister hai Ling, be more serious and mind your image."
Lin hailing: "/Doge"
[Group leader] Zhang xiaokong, the referee of the Three Kingdoms of Godsfall: "First of all, let's welcome our new boss. I'll explain to everyone that our group only adds independent video game designers, and we wouldn't invite designers from big companies like Emperor dynasty, Zen, and fantasy, but Chen Mo might be an exception. We moderators discussed for half a day this morning and decided to add Chen Mo, let me tell you this. "
[Wings of star elves support Li Feng: welcome to the group, boss Chen Mo!]
Lin hailing, the nightmare tapir,'welcome, boss Chen Mo! Big brother, please look familiar and recommend me!"
"Welcome," said dream travel's Deputy, Zhou Haibin.
Gun fighter "Qian":"welcome new boss!"
……
Thunderbolt gaming's referee, Chen Mo: "look at you guys. You're all big bosses. Why are you all acting like you're nothing?"
[Group leader] Zhang xiaokong, the referee of the Three Kingdoms of Godsfall: "No, no, no. Actually, most of the people in this group, including me, are failures. It's hard for them to make independent games."
Chen Mo laughed. Many of them were A-grade designers, and there were even a few S-grade ones. Although there were a lot of newcomers, this group was made up of all the famous designers in the country, so it wasn't a group of failed designers.
In this day and age, the big shots all liked to act like newbies.
Take Zhang xiaokong for example, he was an A-grade video game designer and was an Honorary Committee member in the same year as Chen Mo. He was quite an influential video game designer in China.
The others, like Li Feng, Zhou Haibin, and Zhu fanglin, were all familiar to him. Although they weren't as amazing as Chen Mo, they were all well-known in the domestic gaming industry.
Chen Mo also had a rough idea of what this group was for. It was probably a place where the independent video game designers gathered together.
After all, designers and distributors only had a business relationship, and there were conflicts and schemes between them. Independent video game designers were competitors with big companies, so only independent video game designers could maintain such a harmonious relationship.
[Group leader] Zhang xiaokong, the referee of the Three Kingdoms of Godsfall: "By the way, it's really hard to get boss Chen Zhao in. I thought that since Thunderbolt games is so big, it shouldn't be impossible to find Chen Mo's contact, right? In the end, he couldn't find anything, and could only find the contact of the person in charge of Thunderbolt gaming platform. In the end, it was old Qiu who said he had Chen Mo's contact information, so he was able to get in. "
[Administrator] hengyou network's Deputy Qiu Hengyang: "I'm confused too. Am I the only one in the group who has Chen Mo's contact? I say, Chen Mo, you're really popular!"
"Hahaha!" Lin hailing laughed."Looks like Chen Mo has no friends after all the money he's made!"
"Ahem," Thunderbolt gaming's referee, Chen Mo,"I'm focused on research and development. I don't pay much attention to what's happening outside."
[Group leader] Zhang xiaokong, the referee of the Three Kingdoms of Godsfall: "I understand, I understand. After all, the big boss is busy making games to make money, unlike us, who are wasting our time and wasting our time on the project."
[Administrator] hengyou network's Deputy Qiu Hengyang: "That's enough, old Zhang. That's enough. Let's get to the point. "
[Group leader] Zhang xiaokong, the referee of the Three Kingdoms of Godsfall: "Alright, alright, let's get to the main topic. Old Qiu, you should be the one to say it. "
Chen Zhao knew that these people had invited him in for a reason.
This group was a private group for independent video game designers, and it wasn't meant for work. It was just a place for people to chat and relax. There wasn't anyone from Emperor dynasty entertainment, ZEN Entertainment, or fantasy gaming platform in the group, not even a single videogame designer from a big company.
And Chen Mo?
Chen Mo was still an A-grade videogame designer, and Minecraft was only a few steps away from S-grade, but it hadn't been upgraded yet.
From this point of view, there was no problem for Chen Mo to join the group.
However, Chen Mo's Thunderbolt gaming platform was already the third largest platform in the country, and he was also the boss of a video game distribution company. The relationship between the distribution company and these independent video game designers was quite delicate.
Considering his identity, it was still quite sensitive, so it was a bit inappropriate to add him into the group.
It was like pulling a teacher into a good student group. That was really a pain in the ass.
However, Zhang xiaokong and the other moderators still added him after some discussion, which meant that there must be some special consideration.
[Administrator] hengyou network's Deputy Qiu Hengyang: "Well, Chen Zhao. Although most of the people in the group are against distributors, I think you're different from those who only care about profit. Your main identity is still a designer, so I don't think there's a problem with pulling you in. "
"Of course, I didn't bring you in to say that I have a motive. The main reason is that I want you to come in as a videogame designer and chat with everyone. At the same time, I want to get close to you. After all, after Emperor dynasty and fantasy platform have joined forces, we all feel that the domestic game market might experience a big change and we're not confident."
[Group leader] Zhang xiaokong, the referee of the Three Kingdoms of Godsfall: "Yes, actually, A-grade video game designers like us are still fine. No matter what the distributors do, we can still make a living. I'm mainly worried that the new designers in our group will have to eat dirt if the market becomes worse because of the channel chaos. "

Chapter 286: Chapter 285 model
Although they were all being subtle, Chen Zhao knew what they were worried about.
Originally, the distribution channels in the country were the two major gaming platforms, Emperor dynasty and divine fantasy. The other smaller platforms could live freely in the cracks.
Distributors were in a dominant position and had a stronger bargaining power, while independent video game designers were at a disadvantage. It was a bit like they were being exploited, but it was still within control.
However, Chen Mo's Thunderbolt gaming platform had broken the rules of the distributors, and was basically declaring war on all the distributors in China.
This would lead to the accelerated integration of domestic game channels.
The collaboration between Emperor dynasty and divine fantasy was a clear signal. They felt threatened, so they took the time to consolidate their distribution channels and resources, trying to stabilize their strong position as distributors.
Even though this move was targeted at Thunderbolt gaming platform, the designers would be affected as well.
If Thunderbolt gaming platform crumbled or compromised, then there would be an Alliance of distributors in the country. It would be equivalent to the two major distributors of Emperor dynasty and divine fantasy combining, and their power would be unprecedented.
How much bargaining power would the designers have left then?
He was afraid that his life would be even more miserable than before.
Of course, there was the possibility of Thunderbolt gaming platform unifying the domestic distribution channels, but that possibility was minuscule and impossible at the moment.
These video game designers all felt threatened, but the distributors 'war was like a fight between gods to them. They couldn't get involved at all, which was why they tried to be friendly with Chen Mo.
After all, compared to those high and mighty distributors, Chen Mo was more trustworthy.
Thunderbolt gaming supported Chen Mo,"don't think too much about it. The future for independent video game designers will only get better and better. The current state of 'distribution channels being King' in China is not a healthy state. It'll change sooner or later."
"When I first started Thunderbolt gaming platform, I didn't want to be controlled by others. After all, everyone knows how annoying it is for distributors to keep interfering with the development.
"So don't worry, everyone. Just focus on making the indie game. Emperor dynasty and divine fantasy won't be able to cause any trouble."
[Group leader] Zhang xiaokong, the referee of the Three Kingdoms of Godsfall: "Sure, boss. We're relieved to hear that."
Zhu fanglin: "that's amazing! 666!"
The wings of star elves supported Li Feng, awesome!
A wave of " 666″ appeared in the group. Although these people weren't familiar with Chen Mo, they liked his attitude. At least for now, these designers were on the same side as Chen Mo, fighting against the distributors that monopolized the domestic market.
"By the way, did you know, Chen Mo? Emperor dynasty entertainment and fantasy gaming platform are having an internal discussion. They're going to release a dominating game to prove the strength of their new distribution channel."
Thunderbolt gaming's referee Chen Mo replied,"not really."
Lin hailing, the nightmare tapir, said,'Li Feng, you're indeed our intelligence officer. You even know this?' Quickly tell me in detail. "
The wings of star elves supported Li Feng-"sigh, after all, I'm a failed designer who likes to collect gossip in the industry when I have nothing to do. – I heard from Emperor dynasty that they're planning to create a game internally and compete with each other. In the end, they'll release one or two games and put them up for all channels to promote, creating a true national level game. "
[Administrator] hengyou network's Deputy Qiu Hengyang: "They're trying to show off. They want to show us how powerful the full-channel promotion is."
[Group leader] Zhang xiaokong, the referee of the Three Kingdoms of Godsfall: "It's not just that. Think about it, if this game is really made by them, they'll definitely split more player resources. With one losing and the other growing, this large channel will become very terrifying. "
"I'm a little curious, what kind of game are they planning to make?"Zhu fanglin asked.
The wings of star elves supported Li Feng."I don't know. They will definitely try to keep this kind of information confidential. Unless they deliberately release it, it will be difficult to find out the details."
[Administrator] hengyou network's Deputy Qiu Hengyang: "Actually, there are only a few popular game genres. If we're talking about the number of players, it's still mmorpgs and FPS games."
[Group leader] Zhang xiaokong, the referee of the Three Kingdoms of Godsfall: "Right, we'll definitely make an RPG game."
"I heard that Emperor dynasty is interested in acting as COG's proxy. -Don't know if it's true."
[Group leader] Zhang xiaokong, the referee of the Three Kingdoms of Godsfall: "It's probably just a small interlude. Currently, COG is still too niche, and no one can say for sure what will happen before the finished game is out. I think it's nothing more than a setup of Emperor dynasty, just like buying the lottery. "
The group started to discuss what kind of game Emperor dynasty and divine fantasy wanted to make, and the conversation slowly drifted off to the topic of 'is MMORPG a game that can be surpassed'.
Chen Zhao went silent.
……
In the studio, Qian Kun was testing the new game prototype.
Summoner's Rift only revealed a small part of the blue team's base, and the art resources were all reused from Warcraft and Diablo. Even though the art quality was high, the overall art style was extremely chaotic, so it looked strange.
Qian Kun right-clicked on the empty space, and a barbarian walked to the spot he clicked on.
This barbarian was actually created by the power of Demacia. However, because there was no model of Galen at the moment, he had replaced it with a barbarian model.
Through the editor, Qian Kun placed a new enemy hero in front of garen, a Teemo.
Of course, this Teemo wasn't an official model. It was the King of the Hills from Warcraft.
This Teemo, who looked exactly like the King of the Hills, was set to have 100000 HP, and it stood still. Qian Kun clicked on QWER, and a set of damage was dealt to Teemo, observing the effect of the attack.
A 'silence' icon floated out. The special effect of the big treasure sword in the last big move had not yet been activated, but it had already had a shock effect.
There was no problem with the damage value and the skill mechanism.
Qian Kun looked at Chen Mo,""Manager, it's okay. The prototype of the game should be more stable now. I'll try a few more complicated heroes. "
Chen Mo nodded,"okay." The main thing was that the judgment rules for the various complicated States had to be done perfectly. There's also the skill trajectories and effects, hero movements, and so on. We must improve on them. "
"Don't worry," said Qian Kun,"Warcraft and Diablo have similar combat mechanisms. It's just more complicated this time. It won't be a problem."
Chen Mo patted Qian Kun's shoulder and continued to look at the art work.
He was very confident in Qian Kun. Although Qian Kun was always thinking about how to cheat players of their in-game purchases, he was very experienced in numbers, levels, and combat systems. He was also very careful and rarely made mistakes.

Chapter 287: The glory of the BGM Summoner
Zhou Hanyu was busy adding color to the hero design draft.
Before developing League of Legends, Zhou Hanyu had hired a few more people, including an experienced original artist, two UI artists, three 3d stylists, and two action artists. He had basically set up a small art team.
In fact, based on the situation with Warcraft and Diablo, the art could be outsourced, but it would be more expensive to communicate and slower to do.
However, Chen Mo considered the fact that he would have to produce a large number of character concept art and models in League of Legends, including new heroes and new skins. It wouldn't be good to outsource too much, so he wanted to build a small art team first.
Moreover, Chen Mo now had a lot more money for research and development, so he didn't feel any pressure supporting an art team.
At the moment, he had to do a small part of the art by himself and outsource most of it. When the team expanded further in the future, he would outsource a small part and do most of the art by himself.
"How is it? is there anything you don't understand about these heroes?" Chen Zhao asked.
"No," Zhou Hanyu replied,"the settings for these heroes are quite clear, and the progress is going smoothly. However, I have a question. Teemo, Annie, nuonuo, AMU, Lulu, all of these heroes have the word 'cute' in their special remarks? This ..."
Chen Mo nodded,"yes, they are all very cute, especially Teemo."
Zhou Hanyu said,"yeah, I know that. It's already been drawn very clearly in the sketch." There are only 25 Champions in the early game, and five of them are like mascots. Could it be that our game is ... For children?"
Chen Zhao couldn't help but laugh, then said seriously,""Our game is all-age oriented, but primary school students will be an important group of players.
Zhou Hanyu scratched his head, a little confused.
Primary school students were an important group of players?
Currently, other than casual puzzle games, none of the games in the country really treated primary school students as an important group of players.
The reason was very simple. They were generally noobs, had no money, and had no time.
Most of the mainstream games in China had players who were between the ages of 15 and 45. These people liked cool and realistic paintings. They might not be extremely against cartoonish versions, but they were still a little incompatible.
In the first version of the heroes list, there were cute heroes (Teemo), handsome heroes (Ezreal), Ugly Heroes (stone golems), traditional heroes (garen), and special heroes (robots). These made Zhou Hanyu a little worried. Just what kind of hodgepodge was this game?
Although the bright style, cheeky heroes, and simple operations would expand the player base of League of Legends Q wasn't it a little too much?
In a game like Warcraft, it was hard to imagine characters like Timo and Annie.
Moreover, take the hero a Mumu as an example. He was clearly a mummy. Wasn't it better to be a normal-sized mummy wrapped in bandages and summoning scarabs?
Why did he have to be a big-headed son?
Moreover, it was set to keep crying, and the way it attacked was very similar to kowtowing ...
Zhou Hanyu still had a lot of questions, but they would only be answered after the game was released.
Chen Mo looked at the progress of the model.
Since the sketches had already been given, the hero models and the original arts were basically released at the same time. Two models had already been released, and they were garen and AI Xi. However, they were still adjusting the movements, so they had not been replaced in the game.
In Chen Mo's previous life, garen's model had been remade, and Chen Mo didn't take the wrong path and directly remade the model.
The remade Galen's graphics, movements, and details had all been greatly improved. However, overall, he still continued his previous style. He was heavy, steady, and gave people a very reliable feeling.
As for some players who thought that he was very wretched, squatting in the grass all day, waiting for people to pass by, shouting "Demacia", and then rushing out to spin his big sword ... That was because of the players 'playing style.
Garen's model was now standing upright like a stick, with his hands tilted 45 degrees down, and the big sword was on one side.
If one looked closely, they would find that the model was very different from the real person.
His shoulders were especially broad, his arms were thick, and his legs were thick. His entire person looked like a short tree stump, infinitely close to a square.
His legs were about the same length as his upper body, and he felt like he could walk on all fours effortlessly if he bent down.
Obviously, normal people rarely had such a body proportion, especially heroic figures.
In this day and age, if one didn't have two long legs, it would be embarrassing to say that one was the male lead.
However, there was a reason for this model.
Because League of Legends was a God's perspective, players didn't actually look at the model from the front, but from the top.
From this point of view, Galen's body proportion would appear just right. He was tall, mighty, and well-proportioned, and his huge shoulder armor and big sword could highlight the hero's characteristics very well.
If it was strictly done according to a human's body in real life, it would look ugly from this perspective, and the details would be difficult to distinguish.
Chen Mo had emphasized this point, and with their experience in Warcraft and Diablo, Chen Mo's team was quite skilled at making models.
There were no problems with the art, and progress was smooth.
Chen Mo went to Fu Guangnan's side and asked about the progress of the music and sound effects.
"Most of the requirements for the sound effects have been outsourced," Fu Guangnan said."They're the most professional sound effects team in the country, so there shouldn't be any problems."
"The background music is going well too. Manager, your song is really great. I think we just need to add more elements to the song, and it will definitely become a classic BGM."
"By the way, the first version of the background music is ready. Listen to it."
Fu Guangnan handed the headphones to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo took it and a familiar melody started playing in his headphones,"sunny glory."
This song was the BGM of the LPL's victory and was known as the godly Warsong. Its English name should be "glory of the summoner", but Chen Mo thought that it would be a bit too blunt, so he named it "glory of the summoner" in Chinese.
This song would be the background music for League of Legends's login and appear in the first version.
Chen Mo listened to it. Even though the current version didn't have many instruments and the details weren't perfect, it was able to express the charm of the song.
Chen Mo nodded."Yes, that's good. Add more of this boiling feeling. It'll make people want to shout Demacia when they hear it on the street."
..."Okay."
Chapter 288: One billion US dollars for a hero, then
In the studio, Chen Mo was thinking about how to promote League of Legends.
Even though League of Legends was a game with strong popularity, early marketing strategies were still very important. This was because Thunderbolt gaming platform's current distribution network was far from Penguin's in his previous life.
Moreover, League of Legends had a much weaker player base in this world.
In Lin Jie's previous life, DOTA had been the best of the best. When League of Legends hit the market, it happened to be at a critical period. DOTA was very popular among young people, especially among students, but its development was limited by many factors such as popularity, ranking mechanism, difficulty of getting started, cheating, and so on.
League of Legends had become less difficult to get started with, and with the powerful operation and promotion ability of Penguin, it gradually became popular.
Putting aside their grudges, it was an undeniable fact that League of Legends had taken advantage of DOTA. After all, DOTA was the pioneer of this market.
But what about this world?
Although COG had the prototype of a MOBA game, it was still an imperfect map. It was still far from DOTA.
The Warcraft player base was much smaller than in his previous life, and only a small number of players had actually come into contact with COG.
One could imagine that when Chen Mo released League of Legends, most players would be "what kind of game is this" and not "wow, there's finally a reliable MOBA game".
Therefore, he had to think about how to promote League of Legends.
Just as he was thinking about it, the phone on the table rang.
Chen Zhao picked it up and saw that it was an unknown number from Shanghai.
Chen Mo picked up.
A man's voice came from the other end of the phone. He was very polite."Hello, are you Mr. Chen Mo from Thunderbolt entertainment?"
It's me,"Chen Zhao said.
The male voice on the other end of the line said,"Hello. Let me introduce myself first. I'm the person-in-charge of GA's Shanghai branch. You can call me Peter."
Chen Mo frowned. Peter?
Although it was an English name, he spoke Chinese very well, so he shouldn't be a foreigner. On second thought, Chen Mo felt that it was normal to use an English name since he was an executive in a foreign company.
GA had a branch in Shanghai, which matched the location of the phone number.
"Hello," Chen Zhao said."What's the matter?"
"It's like this,"Peter said," our GA headquarters are currently working on a new game called COG. I'm not sure if you're aware of this. As this game was originally a map from your game, Warcraft, and used a lot of resources from the game, we'd like to ask if you could sell us the art rights? Of course, we can discuss the price. "
"I'm not selling," Chen Zhao said without thinking.
"Ahem." Peter coughed twice and said,"Mr. Chen Mo, it's just some art copyrights. Actually, with GA's research and art level, it's not difficult to make a game that completely surpasses Warcraft. The reason why we want to buy your art copyrights is mainly to continue the players 'habit of COG's original graphics and to ensure the game's consistency ..."
"I'm not selling it," Chen Zhao said."If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."
"Please wait a moment!" Peter was a little surprised by Chen Mo's firm attitude. He didn't even ask about the price."You should know that GA is a very strong and financially sound company. As for these copyrights ..."
"Oh, how about one billion for a hero?"
"Huh?"
This time, Peter was flabbergasted. 1 billion?
Your hero is made of gold? Besides, even if it was made of gold, it couldn't be worth so much money!
Peter probed,""You mean, Yuan?"
"No, dollar," Chen Zhao said.
Peter:"……"
One billion dollars for a hero, why not just Rob it? Does that mean that if COG were to produce 30 heroes, it would have to spend 30 billion?
That's already the value of the entire GA company!
Peter was a little unhappy. Clearly, Chen Mo's attitude was insincere."Mr. Chen Zhao, I don't know the reason, but I feel like you might have some misunderstanding ..."
"There's no misunderstanding," Chen Mo said."I've already told you that I won't sell anything in Warcraft."
"By the way, please tell Clive Lehmann that although COG is a good map, it's still far from perfect in my opinion. The nerdy Chinese will make a game that completely overpowers cog."
"Mr. Chen Mo ..."
Before he could finish, Chen Zhao had already hung up.
Actually, buying and selling copyrights wasn't a rare thing. It wasn't a big deal at all. To most game companies, as long as they had enough money, anything could be discussed.
As for why Chen Zhao was so determined?
Firstly, Warcraft's IP value was hard to measure with money, and since COG was a competitor, Chen Mo couldn't possibly shoot himself in the foot for short-term benefits. Secondly, Chen Zhao was very unhappy with their contemptuous attitude.
Clearly, Clive Lehman and GA were looking down on themselves.
Clive Ramon didn't believe that Chen Mo could make a game like COG, while the GA thought, isn't it just the art rights for a few heroes? It was just a small company in a developing country. He could just buy the copyright with some money.
Moreover, Chen Mo didn't have a good impression of the GA. They would eventually become his opponents, so he didn't need to worry about their feelings.
However, Chen Mo knew that changing art resources wasn't difficult for a GA, and it wouldn't have much of an impact on COG.
After all, there weren't many players in COG right now. When the time came, the names of the heroes, the models, and more new heroes would be changed, and the players would definitely slowly accept it.
However, at least they had to struggle a little more.
……
The following period of time seemed to be rather calm.
Even though Emperor dynasty entertainment and fantasy gaming platform had the largest distribution platform Alliance in the country, there were still many independent video game designers who chose to release their games on Chen Mo's platform.
In the end, it was because this new channel lacked a decisive product to prove its power.
Just like during the war of live streaming platforms, poaching streamers through price wars was only a means. The real way to highlight the foundation and hard power of a live streaming platform was to create gods.
It doesn't matter if you poached my popular streamer. I'll promote another big streamer in a month or two, even more popular than the one you poached.
It was the same for distributors. It didn't matter how many players they had. They could only prove their strength if they could release a harvest-level PC or VR game.
As such, before a game like this appeared, all the players and designers were just sitting back and watching. Even though Chen Mo's Thunderbolt gaming platform was in a disadvantageous position, it was still too early to say that Emperor dynasty and divine fantasy would win.
The key was to see how Emperor dynasty and divine illusion would perform in the next game.

Chapter 289: A hero isn't weak, but you're a noob
At the end of November, the players of COG suddenly realized a problem.
It seemed that the map, COG, was not going to be updated.
The author of this map was very diligent. There would be some small changes to the balance of the values every other week. Occasionally, there would be major changes to the game's mechanism and map layout, so that players could often play new content.
With the help of many Chinese players, the Chinese players in China were able to play the latest Chinese version of the COG map as soon as possible.
However, they did not know when it started, but the update of the map, COG, had completely stopped. There were no changes to the game's mechanics or new heroes, and even the balancing of the game had stopped.
The players were puzzled. What was going on? This didn't seem like Clive Lehmann's style.
Could it be that he had encountered some kind of force majeure and had given up on this map?
Many people were discussing it.
Soon, under the pressing of the foreign players, Clive Lehman announced the latest news of COG on his social media site.
Actually, he didn't hide it on purpose. It was probably because he had been busy for a while, so he didn't update his social media homepage.
In the latest social media update, Clive Lehmann announced that he had reached a partnership with GA to make COG an independent game that wasn't attached to Warcraft, and it was expected to meet players early next year.
This news not only caused a huge uproar among the foreign players, but it also naturally spread to China.
There was a post on Warcraft's official forum that discussed COG that went up by more than 300 posts in one day, becoming the hottest post of the day.
"The creator of COG said that he wanted to make it an independent game? Are you trying to draw a line between you and Warcraft?"
"How do we draw the line? Too many of the heroes in COG came from Warcraft, is he planning on redoing them all?"
"He's working with an GA! GA is such a big company, what's so difficult about making a small map like this?"
"That's right, this time, COG has finally found a Big Shot. At least, with the support of the GA, there won't be any problems with research and development funds and technology. Coupled with Roman's creativity, I feel like COG is really on the right track."
"COG is indeed fun. I think it's even more fun than the PvP mode in Warcraft."
"Yeah, I think so too. COG can be said to be a completely new game. Even though a part of the gameplay is derived from Chenghai 3c, the balance and map have been greatly improved. It's already a unique style."
"I have a lot of friends who bought Warcraft just to play this map. They won't even look at the battle mode."
"Why isn't there any movement from Chen Mo? COG is a Warcraft map, Chen Mo should have the copyright, right?"
"I don't know. Chen Mo didn't believe me at all. I wonder what he's been busy with. If the GA wants to continue with their previous image as a COG character, they'll definitely have to buy the copyright from Chen Mo. Since neither side is saying anything, it's likely that they haven't come to an agreement. "
"If I were Chen Mo, I wouldn't sell it. I'm angry, without Warcraft, where would the cogs come from? In the end, he forgot his roots and turned around to run away with the rich GA. "
"Alright, save it. What's the use of being angry? Other Omega have their own art team, at worst they can just redo the entire game, what's the big deal. "
"Hey, Mo on Weibo."
"What's the use Mo? Chen Mo can't do anything about this!"
"Forget it. No matter what, let's just wait for the release of COG's game."
……
Chen Mo had received at least a few hundred private messages and comments in the past two days, all of them asking about COG.
Chen Mo didn't reveal his plans for League of Legends, so he ignored all the messages and comments.
After all, it wasn't the right time to reveal the game yet, and it wouldn't do him any good.
In the studio.
The development of League of Legends had entered the second stage. The map, terrain, various map elements, and mechanisms were all completed. The heroes were also half completed, but some details of the experience still needed to be adjusted.
Although it was still a semi-finished product, he could already start the game with the GM tools. Playing League of Legends during break time had become a trend in the studio.
"F * ck, you old sneaky bastard, hiding in the grass and trying to trick me again, are you a dog? I'm not done with you!"
"Hurry up! That tower is about to fall. Someone go and touch it!"
"Hahahaha, three against one and he was killed. Don't you know how to play?"
"You guys stall them, I'm going to steal the tower!"
Everyone was shouting excitedly after getting high from the fight. Fortunately, it was break time, otherwise these people might have been thrown out already.
Chen Mo felt like he had returned to the internet café from his previous life, and was surrounded by primary school students.
It was true that it looked stupid to shout when one was too engrossed in the game, but it also showed that the game was well done and the sense of immersion was very strong.
Of course, everyone was still in the xgbd stage, so their understanding of the minion line, defense tower, and hero lineup was basically zero.
Fortunately, Chen Mo had set five positions and all the Champions 'attributes were slightly raised after the rune system was removed, so everyone's current formation was quite organized, and there were even people in charge of jungling.
Chen Mo also encouraged everyone to play more games as a test, so that they could fix anything that didn't make sense.
However, most of the players 'dissatisfaction with the game was due to the balance of the heroes.
"Manager, what's the use of Teemo? Every time I choose it as the top lane, I get despised! It's just a lucky charm!"
"That's right, manager. Why don't we change it to the skin of the eyes?"
"Manager, isn't the ice Phoenix too weak? This skill uses up too much mana and this Q-skill can't hit anyone at all. No one's playing. "
"Manager, isn't sister good luck a little too strong? Long arms, strong laning, and this ultimate move is an extremely large AoE, super long range AOE, no matter how you look at it, it's a bit too overpowered. "
"Manager, can you cut the robot's hook in half ..."
Chen Mo's answer to these questions was simple,""It's fine. There's nothing wrong with the attributes of these heroes. You think they're weak because you're a noob."
At first, everyone was very unconvinced, but after Chen Mo showed a 22-" 0-" 9 Teemo, everyone was convinced.
In particular, Qian Hua, who had been killed by the explosion while stepping on mushrooms, had left a huge psychological shadow on the hero Teemo.
There was also Zhao Yunting who complained about Blitzcrank being too strong. Chen Mo chose Vayne and adjusted Blitzcrank's HP to 100000 and its Q-skill to 100000. Both of them were fully equipped.
In the end, the robot did not manage to hook Vayne even once.
From then on, no one complained about the hero's poor balance.

Chapter 290: A big wave of new games
During the New Year's holiday, while the players were immersed in the joy of the holiday, a relatively explosive news spread among the players.
Emperor dynasty entertainment and fantasy gaming platform announced that they would be holding a game recruitment event that allowed both local and foreign designers to participate. There were no restrictions on the platform and theme, but there were two things to take note of.
First, the game had to be released on either Emperor dynasty gaming platform or fantasy gaming platform and signed a generational agreement, which meant that it couldn't be released on any other platforms.
Second, the organizers have the right to make the final decision. All the games that are being called for will be reviewed and given the resources to be promoted.
Of course, the rewards from this campaign were also very tempting. The excellent games selected after the review would receive a month's reward of being recommended by all channels.
The full distribution channels referred to Emperor dynasty gaming platform, fantasy gaming platform, and all the smaller platforms combined, which took up about 70% of the distribution channels in the country.
No one could imagine the effect of such a wide-range recommendation, because such a situation had never happened in the domestic gaming industry.
What was certain was that even if the game was complete garbage, it would still make a lot of money after the recommendation.
What if the game was of good quality? That could create the next super explosive.
Of course, there was a limit to the number of 'excellent games'. Everyone guessed that there would only be two or three of them at most, and that was impossible.
After all,"all-channel promotion" was like integrating all the scattered channels and resources together. It was achieved by squeezing out other games on the channels, so such precious recommendation spots couldn't be randomly given.
Of course, Emperor dynasty entertainment would definitely make their own games, and even ZEN Entertainment would be a part of it. Most video game designers knew that the all-channel promotion was just a gimmick and would never really fall into their hands.
However, this gimmick was still loud enough, so it still set off quite a big wave.
At the same time, a few gaming companies, including Emperor dynasty entertainment and ZEN Entertainment, started to reveal information about the new game.
It was hard to say whether this information was leaked by accident or deliberately released, but considering that this information was not critical or confidential, and it could also create momentum for this event, most people felt that the latter was more likely.
Emperor dynasty entertainment had launched a key FPS game internally. It didn't have an official name yet, but it was codenamed "Project: S ", Qin Xiao was fully in charge.
Qin Xiao had a very successful VR shooting game, Wolf Soul, so it was a walk in the park for him to make another FPS game.
However, in reality, Qin Xiao had only written the first draft of the design, and it was actually developed by two A-grade video game designers. This was because Qin Xiao was still in charge of the update for Wolf Soul. S "was not in high spirits, so after writing the first draft of the design, he gave it to someone else to do first. After confirming that the game could be successful, he planned to take over.
Of course, outsiders would not know about this.
Qiu Jiang and Yan Zhenyuan didn't release any new games because Lin chaoxu didn't think highly of their first draft. That was why Emperor dynasty wanted to use all their resources to release Project: S ".
There was also a game that was more popular, ZEN Entertainment's three realms, which was a large MMORPG project.
Fantasy gaming platform had spent a fortune on the game, but since they didn't have much research and development capabilities, they wanted to work with Zen Entertainment.
As for ZEN Entertainment, they obviously wanted this all-out promotion opportunity as well.
Both Project: S and three realms had a very prominent feature, which was why they stood out among the many first drafts, and that was that they took care of the largest number of players.
In fact, as the two most popular genres of games on the market, FPS games and mmorpgs both had very successful works.
There were wolf Soul and Inferno assault in FPS games, while there were Legend of the Sword, moon God's prophecy, and heavenly justice of the Three Kingdoms in mmorpgs. These were all well-known premium games that had been tested and proven by the market.
Without a large-scale technological revolution, how could it be easy to surpass these already successful games?
Therefore,"Project: S "and" three realms "were both trying to take a different path. This was also a change that had been made to accommodate the full-channel promotion this time.
For example:
Sacrifice some quality to reduce the configuration requirements.
Develop a variety of leisure games to maximize the feelings of non-hardcore players.
It was an extremely complex social system with generous rewards.
It fully supports both VR and PC dual-ends, as well as data synchronisation.
All of these changes were to be able to capture the largest number of users and increase the possibility of it becoming a super popular game.
Especially "Project: S, as an FPS game, the PC side was already severely outmatched by the VR side. It was a little too much to make a dual-terminal mode, but it was still done.
After all, in "Project: S had to be different from Wolf Soul and raging inferno assault, and the best gimmick was the dual-end version.
Of course, the players wouldn't know the details. They only knew that these big companies were making big moves and that there would be a few new games to play next year.
This was not the end.
Not long after, Emperor dynasty entertainment revealed that they had reached an agreement with GA to act as COG's proxy.
This was far more of a topic effect than the fragmented information from before.
This was because Project: S and three realms were just concept drafts, and nothing was set in stone yet. However, COG was already very famous in the small circle of Chinese players.
Clearly, Emperor dynasty entertainment had more than one hand in the game. They were planning to place a portion of their bets on this new foreign game.
Although COG wasn't very popular yet, the veteran players of COG could vaguely sense the bright future of this new game genre. They paid more attention to this news than the other two games.
After all, he was getting tired of playing with FPS and mmorpgs and needed to change to something new.
Of course, the players had different reactions to this news. Some were looking forward to it because with Emperor dynasty gaming platform's channel as a guarantee, there would be a lot of players after COG was officially released. There were also people who were worried that Emperor dynasty Entertainment's brain would go haywire and destroy the game.
However, in general, after a series of information bombarding the players, the players 'anticipation for these new games rose. Even many players who had never heard of COG before were asking around about what kind of game it was.
For Emperor dynasty entertainment and fantasy gaming platform, everything was going smoothly.

Chapter 291: Chapter 290-new game experience
This year's Chinese New Year was February 16th. It was already February, and the atmosphere before the new year was everywhere. Most of the office workers were looking forward to the Chinese New Year holiday, the company's Annual Meeting, and the year-end bonus. As for work ... What was that? could they be eaten?
There were only two weeks left until the Spring Festival holiday, and most people were not in the mood to work.
There weren't many good games being released during this period of time, so the players were in a relatively quiet stage.
After all, at this time, all the gaming companies were busy organizing their annual meetings and writing their year-end work summary. Who would be launching new games during the new year?
Games like COG would only be released next year. Other games such as Project: S "and" three realms "would take even longer to develop. They might not even be able to see it by April or may next year.
In the experience store.
It was a Saturday, but there weren't many people in the experience store.
Minecraft's popularity had settled down a little, and while the die-hard fans could play Minecraft for a lifetime, most players 'popularity would naturally fade after playing for a long time, and they wouldn't be able to build houses as frequently as they would for dinner.
There were all kinds of games in the experience store now. There were still people playing Warcraft, Diablo, and Minecraft, but they were no longer as popular as when they first came out.
There were also some players who felt that there was nothing fun to do, so they simply sat in the hall, ordered a cup of hot drink, and chatted and read books.
Jia Peng and Chang xiuya were also chatting.
"Eh, why isn't senior Wen here yet? Didn't we agree to meet at 2 pm?" Chang xiuya looked at her watch.
Jia Peng was also a little confused,"yeah, she's supposed to be a very punctual person. But she's actually three minutes late today. This doesn't make sense."
Jia Peng and Chang xiuya had graduated a year after Wen Lingwei, and it had been a year since they graduated.
Jia Peng and Chang xiuya weren't as arrogant as Wen Lingwei. They had both found proper jobs, one in an advertising company and the other in a technology company. They had been working for more than a year and had gotten used to their work quickly. They were now considered proper office workers.
However, after working, they couldn't go to the experience store every day like they did in University. They had things to do on the weekends too, so they could only meet up once in a while.
Even though Wen Lingwei had been a freelance artist for a long time, she obviously had her own things to do, so she didn't come to the experience store often.
As they were talking, Wen Lingwei pushed open the door and entered the experience store.
"Ah, there's a traffic jam." Wen Lingwei sat down on the sofa and said helplessly.
"What do you want to drink?" Jia Peng asked.

Wen Lingwei thought for a while and said, hot milk tea.
Jia Peng stood up and went to the front desk to get Wen Lingwei some hot milk tea.
Chang xiuya chatted with Wen Lingwei for a while and told her about her work.
"Where's the manager?"Wen Lingwei looked around the hall.
"I don't know," Chang xiuya replied."Maybe he's upstairs. He's quite busy right now, playing new games one after another. Why don't I go and ask?"
Wen Lingwei shook her head."Forget it. We're just here to sit around. Let's not disturb him."
Chang xiuya smiled."Senior, I feel like you've changed a lot after graduation. You're radiating a motherly aura."
Wen Lingwei rolled her eyes,"motherly?" Forget it, maybe it's because I've met too many idiots after I started working, so I miss my old college days. "
She leaned back on the sofa and said with some emotion,""I actually miss that small Experience Store and the manager. Before, when it wasn't that famous, everyone would joke around and play games together, but now, everyone's busy."
Chang xiuya also smiled."Yeah, I still remember when we were working on I am MT. We watched anime together in the shop. There was an episode every week. It was really fun."
Jia Peng came back and handed Wen Lingwei a cup of hot milk tea.
"Thank you," said Wen Lingwei as she took the bag.
As they were chatting, Qian Yong came in from outside.
"Eh, Jia Peng? Why are you guys here?" Qian Kun was also very surprised.
"What, we can't come?" Jia Peng asked half-jokingly.
"Yes, of course you can. You're welcome." Qian Kun walked over and gave Jia Peng a punch.
"Why did you come in from outside?" Jia Peng asked.
"Didn't he go out for lunch?" Qian Kun said,"wait a minute, I'll call the manager."
Jia Peng quickly stopped him,"it's nothing. Don't disturb the manager. We're just here to sit around."
Qian Kun shook his head."It's fine, I'm not disturbing you. The manager is not working today. By the way, you guys came at the right time. There's a new game to play today."
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard that there was a new game.
"Really? a new game? What type?" Wen Lingwei asked.
Qian Kun smiled."You'll find out soon. Wait a moment. I'll go up for a while."

Not long after Qian Kun went upstairs, Chen Zhao came down.
After some small talk, everyone was urging Chen Mo to bring out the new game.
"Sigh, you guys only care about the new game. You don't care about me at all." Chen Mo was helpless.
Chen Mo said a few words to the girl at the front desk.
The receptionist nodded, and soon, her voice was broadcasted throughout the experience store.
"Dear players, Thunderbolt Entertainment's new PC game, League of Legends, can now be tried first. You can play the game in the PC experience area on the first floor. After restarting the computer, the game will automatically update. "
This message was broadcasted three times. The players in the experience store heard it clearly, and the players in the PC and mobile experience areas were all discussing it.
"Ah? A new game?"
"A new game is out so soon? It hasn't been long since eich and The Stanley Parable were released. "
"Yeah, I thought there wouldn't be any new games before the new year."
"Quick, let's see what the new game is!"
Everyone was very excited when they heard that there was a new game. These people were Chen Mo's loyal fans, and since there weren't many new games before the new year, they were all extremely excited to try them out first.
The players in the PC area all restarted their computers to update League of Legends. Many players in the hall, mobile game experience area, and VR experience area also came to the PC experience area.
"Let's go and take a look. "
Jia Peng, Wen Lingwei, and Chang xiuya also went to the PC experience area.
They found three computers in the corner and sat down.
Jia Peng couldn't help but sigh."The manager's Experience Store is getting more and more popular. The entire PC experience area is almost full. The previous experience Store only had 18 computers."
Wen Lingwei added,"the first time I went there, there was no one there."
"Oh?" Chen Zhao was amused."You did remember to listen clearly."
Wen Lingwei said proudly,"of course! I'm the first customer of the Thunderbolt gaming experience Store. Keep it up manager! When your company grows into a giant in the industry, I'll be able to brag about this for a long time."
Jia Peng looked around."There's no more seats. Where are you going to sit?"
"I'm not playing," Chen Zhao said."You guys play." I'll just take a walk around. "
"Well, that's good."
Jia Peng turned on his computer, and League of Legends was automatically updated.

Chapter 292: Chapter 291-newbie training
Soon, the game was updated, and a capital L icon appeared on the desktop.
This icon was a bit similar to the one in Diablo. They were both made with the first letters of the game's name, and it gave people a plain feeling, but it was pretty cool.
Jia Peng double-clicked the icon and entered the game.
The login interface was relatively simple and seemed to be an incomplete version. The League of Legends LOGO was on the upper left corner, with Chinese and English LEAGUE OF LEGENDS in golden font. On the right was the login module, which could be logged in directly with the Thunderbolt Game Pass.
However, the main part of the login interface was still empty. There was a line of small words: There should be a very cool gif here."
Jia Peng,"manager, What's this?"
Chen Mo explained,"the art resources aren't all here yet. Just make do with it." However, the art resources in the game are basically all complete, so it won't affect the game. "
"Alright," he said.
Jia Peng entered his account and entered the game.
Wen Lingwei and Chang xiuya looked at the game for a long time, but they couldn't tell what type of game it was. They entered the game with suspicion.
Entering the game interface, the overall layout was also very simple. On the top left were [start game[home page[career, and [collection]. On the top right were the player's avatar, the currency bar, and the [mall].
The long strip on the right was a friend list, which could automatically import the friend information of the Thunderbolt Game Pass. If two players 'Thunderbolt game passes were friends, then there was no need to add friends again here.
The main part of the screen was replaying a simple game demonstration video.
Summoning crystals, defensive towers, minion lines, Elemental Dragons, scenes of heroes fighting, a bird's eye view of the entire battlefield ...
To Wen Lingwei and Chang xiuya, this was a bit of a shock, but Jia Peng immediately understood the core of the game when he saw the map of the battlefield.
Manager, this game looks like 3C and COG?" Jia Peng said.
Chen Mo nodded.
"Then ... Then forget it." Chang xiuya hesitated."I don't think I'm used to playing Warcraft. I can't get used to such a difficult game ..."
"Don't worry," Chen Mo said,"there's a very detailed tutorial for new players. It's also much easier than Warcraft. You guys can play it too, no problem."
"Oh, really? I'm very suspicious of this, manager ..."
Chang xiuya still wanted to quit the game, but because of the famous "since I'm already here" theory, she decided to give it a try.
The overall layout of League of Legends was based on the new version of the client. The old version was actually not bad, but not as cool. Someone like Chen Mo would definitely choose a more cool option.
He clicked on the [start game] button, and there were a few sub-options, namely [training[human-machine battle[player battle, and [custom match]. When the players reached the conditions to start the ranking competition[training] would become [ranking competition].
Of course, Chen Mo didn't plan on starting a ranking match in this version.
These people were all new accounts, so other than [training, the rest were locked. They had to complete the beginner's lesson before they could play the other modes.
According to Chen Mo's plan, League of Legends would only have one server, so there wouldn't be the awkwardness of leveling up again after changing servers. All players who were logging into the game for the first time were forced to go through the beginner's tutorial.
As for those who changed accounts to play the lower-level games to fry fish, they weren't considered because this was something that the officials didn't promote or even prohibited.
The loading speed of the game was very fast, because the current PC configuration was very high.
Chen Mo's League of Legends had surpassed the standards of his previous life in all aspects, but it was still a low-end game compared to the current PC. It was a far cry from those first-person games that burned their graphics cards.
After entering the game, Jia Peng first noticed the game's perspective.
A third person God's perspective, just like in Warcraft and Diablo.
In the center of the picture was a tall and mighty hero. He was wearing heavy armor and holding a big sword that was very eye-catching.
At first glance, Jia Peng was not used to this.
Chen Mo's Warcraft and Diablo had a dark and realistic style that looked very serious, but League of Legends had a slightly more cheeky style.
It could be seen from this hero that his pauldron, greatsword, and other elements did not fit the normal proportion, and there was a deliberate exaggeration.
Moreover, the brightness and saturation levels of the entire screen were very high. It was even brighter and more comfortable than the scenes in Diablo.
Although the scenery in the highest heavens was also very bright and glorious, it would give the players a sense of surrealism, and it could not relieve their mental stress. However, from a setting point of view, the high heavens was the residence of the angels, a sacred place, and would reject mortals. Therefore, this kind of scene was more in line with the setting of the high heavens.
On the other hand, the map in League of Legends didn't give off any sense of danger. It was similar to the rainbow Stage in Diablo.
The players 'minds were subconsciously relaxed, and they would not be so nervous.
A gentle female voice began to explain the tutorial.
[Welcome to the league of Legends training camp.]
[In League of Legends, you're a powerful Summoner who controls the battles of different heroes and eventually wins.]
[The ultimate goal of victory is to break through the enemy's heavy defenses and destroy the enemy's crystal core.]
[Your hero is garen, the power of Demacia. Please right-click at the designated location on the map to control the hero's movement.]
With the tutorial voice, the game screen kept changing, showing the players information about the crystal hub, defense tower, heroes, and so on.
Chen Mo had edited this tutorial before.
In the original tutorial, the beginner tutorial was held in the chaos abyss map, and the tutorial guided players to buy armor of thorns for eich, which was quite annoying.
As such, Chen Mo moved the tutorial to Summoner's Rift and changed the novice tutorial hero to garen, to prevent the players from thinking that AI Xi was a novice hero.
Jia Peng clicked on the target location, and garen immediately walked over.
Next, there were some more conventional guides, such as moving to the fog of war, learning skills, playing the game, using skills, destroying defensive towers, returning to the city to buy equipment, and so on.
Further behind were advanced tutorials, such as killing monsters, changing perspectives, looking at minimaps, and so on.
There would often be some small prompts in the lower right corner of the map, such as finishing off the minions, getting close to the minion line to gain experience, and not rashly tanking towers.
This was a piece of cake for Jia Peng, as he had played Warcraft before, and this amount of work was not even one-tenth of what he had done in Warcraft.
In the end, as garen raised his sword and destroyed the enemy's crystal hub, a huge VICTORY icon appeared in the center of the screen. At the same time, an exciting "Victor" was heard, which made Jia Peng feel very comfortable.
He turned around and saw Wen Lingwei and Chang xiuya still fighting. They hadn't even destroyed the tower yet.
Moreover, the two of them had been playing the game in locked-view mode the entire time.

Chapter 293: The importance of the depth of the fish pond
The so-called "lock-on" meant that the hero would always be in the center of the screen, and the screen's view would move as the hero moved.
Obviously, for games like Warcraft and League of Legends that required players to pay attention to the overall battle situation, it was like poking one's own eyes.
There was related teaching content in the beginner's tutorial. As long as you pressed the [Y] button, you could freely switch between a free view and a locked view.
The default view after the novice guide was free view.
In other words, both Wen Lingwei and Chang xiuya chose to play the game in a locked perspective.
"Don't you guys feel uncomfortable after locking on to your field of view?" Jia Peng was a little confused.
"Eh? Why?" Chang xiuya asked,"isn't this comfortable? You'll never be unable to find your hero, just like Diablo, it's so convenient. "
"Yeah, much more reasonable than Warcraft," added Wen Lingwei.
Jia Peng was speechless.
He watched the two players 'operations for a while, and it was simply too horrible to look at.
Chang xiuya played very conservatively. Garen was a tank-type hero, but he was played into a support by her. He wanted to run away when he only had half of his health left. He had even bought three defensive equipment, but he did not dare to enter the attack range of the turret.
As a result, the progress of these two people was very slow, and they did not even manage to destroy the high tower.
Jia Peng explained patiently to them.
"Garen can still move after using his E-skill to circle around. You have to always make sure that your e-skill can touch the enemy hero."
"The damage from the tower can be taken. You won't be killed instantly as long as you retreat in time."
"Garen's big move has a killing effect. Don't just throw it as soon as you see it."
"You're asking why I can't buy two pairs of shoes? This was because the effects of the two pairs of shoes would not overlap. Oh, I know your hero has two feet, but the shoes are a pair, not one. Look at the icon. "
……
The most basic knowledge in League of Legends was as easy as eating and drinking for a player like Jia Peng. He didn't even need to be taught, he could guess it himself.
However, Chang xiuya and Wen Lingwei knew nothing about it. They even made a lot of jokes.
In fact, many players would make the same mistake as Jia Peng, and that was overestimating the IQ of players with bad hands and female players.
Everyone knew that if a game wanted to be popular, it had to be "easy to master, but hard to master."
There were many games that were difficult to master. In any case, for players, things that they didn't understand or couldn't do even if they understood were difficult to master.
However, different players had different standards for what "easy to master" was.
For players like Jia Peng, Warcraft wasn't easy to play, whereas COG and League of Legends were easy to play.
However, for a player like Chang xiuya, Warcraft and COG were completely out of the question. League of Legends was barely passable, and anipop was easier to play.
If one were to limit one's vision to the RTS community, or to the male players and normal players, the Newbie Guide in League of Legends was too stupid, it was like taking off one's pants and farting.
Clicking move, attack, CS, such simple concepts could be explained with A few lines of text.
However, what if this range was extended to the players with terrible skills, primary school students, and female players?
The players in the bronze and silver divisions were considered "scammers" and were newbies. Not to mention Zed, Yasuo, and Vayne, most of them could not even play Gragas and Twisted Fate well.
Taking Twisted Fate as an example, not to mention the high-end techniques, just the basic operations such as cutting cards, using an Ace, and constantly paying attention to the battlefield were difficult for most bronze and silver players.
How many bronze and silver-tier players were there?
In Chen Mo's previous life, this number was a suffocating 37%.
That's right, a small half of the players in this game were the so-called "scammers."
If the players in the golden section were included, the number would be around 59%.
Players who were ranked Diamond and above only made up 5% of the entire player group.
(14% of the players in the Platinum section were underaged accounts, and nearly 20% were underaged accounts.)
The statistics for different seasons were different, but the overall difference wouldn't be too big.
This number didn't mean that there was a problem with League of Legends, but it reflected an objective fact: The players in the country were basically distributed according to this ratio.
Players like Jia Peng might not even understand the meaning of this number, and they would be shocked: "WHAT???You're actually telling me that half of the players are handicapped? And there are a lot of people who can't play such a simple game?"
However, it was the truth. For many players, League of Legends was already a difficult game to get used to, let alone DOTA and Warcraft, which were even more difficult.
That was why League of Legends had such a detailed novice guide, which even made people feel that it was a bit long-winded.
This kind of overly detailed novice guidance wouldn't stop the experts from leaving, but it would keep the clumsy players and female players.
……
Why was "easy to handle" so important?
This was because the core of all confrontational games, including League of Legends, was to' sell the gameplay 'rather than' sell the content '.
Great standalone games like these were all about selling content and experiencing a whole new story and world. They could be put aside after one try.
However, the core of games like League of Legends and Overwatch was to' sell the way to play '. They were games that could be replayed. Every match was against a new opponent and a new battle, and one could not get tired of it even after playing for a few years.
For this kind of game, the most critical factor to ensure its survival was the depth of the fish pond.
In other words, there weren't enough rookies.
This was because all the fun in this kind of game came from winning. For most players, it was great to play a hero to perfection and outdo five others, but the real pleasure came from the moment the opponent's Crystal Burst.
It didn't matter if he carried or won while lying down. Anyway, winning was more fun.
If they lost, whether it was a loss in a pit, a loss lying down, or a loss after carrying with all their might, they would all be very unhappy.
If the opponents were all noobs, then you would play very comfortably. However, what if there were no noobs on the other side, only experts, and you were tortured in every match?
A small portion of players would work hard.
However, most players would choose to give up on the game.
After all, it was just a game to pass time. Work was already tiring enough, so why would playing games be tiring?
Moreover, for most players, although hard work could improve their skill level, what was more important was their gaming talent, reaction time, and hand speed.
A player who couldn't play this kind of game was born to be a fraud. It was like some people were born poor, and if you had to blame them for not working hard enough, then they would be poor.
If the depth of the fish pond wasn't enough, a newbie would encounter opponents who were obviously better than him not long after playing. If he was constantly abused, then he wouldn't be able to find any fun in this game.
After all was said and done, how did the depth of the fish pond come about?
It was still because of the huge player base.
How did a huge player base come about?
By using 'easy to master', even a girl like Chang xiuya would be able to play.
Therefore, if League of Legends wanted to expand its player base, it had to simplify the operations.
Only League of Legends, which simplified the entire game, could attract such a huge user base.
If League of Legends in his previous life didn't have this feature, even if Penguin Corporation promoted it, it would still be useless.
Penguin had taken on so many games as agents, and most of the games died from internal competition. How many games could really stand out and enjoy the resources of Penguin's channel?

Chapter 294: First season's reward
?
Of course, at this time, there would definitely be players who would put forward "e-sports and being noobs are the original sins","noobs should work hard and one day surpass gods" and so on.
There was no problem with this statement, but it should only be used to spur himself on, not to ask others.
If you've been abused, you should work hard on your skills. There's nothing wrong with being abused back. However, if your girlfriend was a noob and was abused, and you said,"being a noob in e-sports is an original sin," you'd see if you two would break up.
A King player was still a player.
A bronze player was still a player.
For most players with bad skills, control and reaction speed were innate, and no matter how hard they trained, they couldn't change it.
To designers, these two types of players were equally important because they were an essential part of the game's ecosystem.
Simplifying the operations of the game would allow more players to join and stay, so the game would have more players than other games. This was the core competitiveness of the game.
As for the high-end players?
As long as the player base went up, there would always be high-end players. The two were not in direct opposition to each other. High-end players had all climbed out of the pool of players.
What would be the consequences of drying up the fish pond?
For example, if a large number of players in the bronze Division in League of Legends were lost, then a bronze player would have to queue for a longer time to play ranked games, or if he encountered many players in the silver Division, his chances of winning would become lower and lower. He would be abused continuously, and as time went by, he would have no choice but to escape.
This would further aggravate the loss of players. When there were fewer and fewer players in the bronze group, it would be the turn of the silver Group, the gold Group ...
The drying up of the fish pond would cause a series of chain reactions, causing the competitive ecosystem of the entire game to collapse from the bottom to the top. Moreover, the speed of the loss of players would become faster and faster, which was a nightmare for competitive games.
In Chen Mo's previous life, this was one of the reasons why Overwatch's popularity had dropped.
Many players had stopped paying for their purchases and the lack of computer configurations. The player base was far lower than League of Legends, and the problems with the game's mechanics and ranking system had caused the popularity of the 'fried fish pond'. All these factors combined had caused a large number of players to quit, and the popularity of the game had dropped.
Of course, DOTA and League of Legends also had similar situations, but DOTA had many die-hard fans and a stable player base, while League of Legends's fish pond was deep enough that it wouldn't make a splash no matter how hard one tried.
However, what if the player base was not enough?
Then, even the best game would be ruined.
……
After much effort, Wen Lingwei and Chang xiuya finally completed their beginner's training.
After completing the beginner's training, a special interface popped up on the screen as a system prompt, and there was also a very beautiful treasure chest.
[Congratulations on completing the beginner's training. You have received a small gift from the continent of valoran. Please click to open it.]
Jia Peng was surprised,"huh?" I'll be rewarded for completing the beginner's training?"
Jia Peng tapped on the chest, and with a flash of gold, a few rewards appeared on the screen.
[New skin: Death Knight garen]
[Currency: 4500 point certificates, 10000 gold coins]
[Guard (eye) skin: adorable Yeti guard]
And that wasn't all. Just as Jia Peng accepted the rewards, a new interface appeared.
"As a player of the first season of League of Legends, we have prepared a small gift for you. Note: This reward will be out of print at the end of the first season and can not be obtained through conventional means. "
Jia Peng clicked the mouse and saw another skin!
[New skin: [dragon hunter] Vayne
Jia Peng couldn't stay calm any longer. What the f * ck, so many good things?
Obviously, even though Jia Peng wasn't too sure about the value of these items, he was literate. He could recognize the purple epic icon on the skins.
Moreover, the 4500 point certificates were the currency that could only be obtained by topping up in the game.
Jia Peng quickly entered [collectibles] to check his reward.
Different from League of Legends in his previous life, Chen Mo had added hero models in the game store and in the players 'Collection interface. Players could not only see the original art of the hero's skin, but also the real model.
This wasn't difficult to do. After all, even a mobile game like King of Glory had managed to do this.
Of course, there were some unsightly models in his previous life, but the ones Chen Mo made were of extremely high quality, and there was no problem looking at them in close-up.
[Death Knight] Galen's style was completely different from his Original Skin. He was wearing dark armor, his eyes were shining with a cold light, and the big sword in his hand had turned into Frostmourne.
In Chen Mo's previous life, this skin was quite popular with Warcraft, but it didn't have an IP and didn't look too similar to Arthas. However, this problem didn't exist for Chen Mo, as he had the entire IP in Warcraft and could use it as he pleased.
Garen's skin looked like Arthas ', and Jia Peng was very excited.
In fact, Vayne, the [dragon hunter, had also been riding on the popularity of magical beasts. This name was first used as the name of the Hunter set in World of Warcraft. Of course, this world didn't have World of Warcraft yet, but as a successful skin, Chen Mo still brought it out.
As for the skin of the eye, it was just a little snowman. It was just an extra, nothing special.
Jia Peng then looked at the recharge interface. 4500 point certificates were equivalent to 45 dollars, and he couldn't estimate the value of 10000 gold coins yet.
He looked through the shop and found that these point certificates could be used to buy a medium-priced skin. The gold coins were only enough to buy some trashy guard (eye) skins and Summoner avatars.
"Yeah ..." Jia Peng consoled himself,"these skins won't affect my combat power anyway, so it doesn't matter if I buy them or not."
……
Chen Mo had considered the entire reward system.
In Lin Jie's previous life, players in League of Legends could earn gold coins every day, and the main purpose of the gold coins was to buy heroes and runes.
Although there were many problems, there were also benefits. Many players enjoyed the process of saving gold to buy heroes and runes. This was equivalent to gradually opening the game content, so that players would cherish their accounts (the wealth on them) more.
It was the same logic as some card games that kept players by giving them good cards.
Chen Mo removed the hero and rune fees out of fairness, but he also considered other ways to get the reward.
Point certificates and gold coins would still be retained. Players could still obtain gold coins through playing games, winning first victories every day, completing missions, and so on. However, the specific use of gold coins had changed.

Chapter 295: Chapter 294 skin
Gold coins could be used to buy all kinds of avatars, avatars, guard (eye) skins, some hero skins, and some hero skins.
Of course, allowing players to use gold coins to buy a portion of the hero skins was equivalent to letting the players have a discount. It had to be strictly controlled, otherwise, it would cause the entire economic system to collapse.
Gold coins could only buy a small number of average-quality skins. The specific list of available skins would change every week, and the corresponding hero's proficiency must reach the highest Grandmaster level to buy, and the price was extremely high.
As for the skin color, it was just a change of color, and it wasn't hard to make, so Chen Mo made it in the first version.
After a player obtained a certain skin, they could spend a certain amount of point certificates and gold coins to buy a dazzling skin.
Other than that, players could also use gold coins to open chests.
Of course, there was no conflict between opening the box and buying it directly. All skins, avatars, and guard skins had a clear price, and one could buy them directly if they wanted to.
However, if the player chose to open the chest with gold coins, they might receive any item. It could be a worthless avatar or a rare skin.
Of course, Chen Mo had calculated the probability. Overall, opening a box was more cost-effective than buying it, but it was up to luck to see what he would get.
For most players, as long as they were not lucky, they would still need point certificates to buy those very precious and rare skins, as well as some out-of-print avatars, avatars, guard skins, and so on.
In addition, gold coins could also be used to change heroes in big chaotic fights, and the price kept rising.
……
Jia Peng's reward was split into two parts: the newbie reward and the season reward.
The newbie reward was the reward that every player would receive after entering the game and completing the newbie's tutorial. It included [Death Knight] garen, 4500 point vouchers, 10000 gold coins, and the Yeti guard skin.
The reward for the first season was Vayne's [dragon hunter].
The rewards were quite generous. The epic skin was priced at 6900 points, which meant that Chen Mo had given out at least 200 RMB worth of rewards for the new players. Besides, the undead knight Galen and Warcraft seemed to be linked together, which was quite impressive.
Of course, in terms of the depth of the market in League of Legends, 200 yuan was nothing.
The other players in the experience store had also received these rewards, and they were all looking at garen's death Knight skin happily, wanting to enter the game to play.
"I've taken a look,"Jia Peng said," after the beginner's tutorial, we'll probably have to play a few more games before we can officially start the game. " Let's form a team to play against the bot. "
"Alright." Chang xiuya said,"let's not fight with players. I'm scared."
Jia Peng was speechless.
The three-man team was matched with a beginner-level human-machine battle. Soon, the match was found.
At the moment, League of Legends could only be played in the experience store, so there were few players. However, the experience store was huge now, and most of the people in the PC area were playing League of Legends, so it was not a problem to play against a few bots.
Entering the hero selection interface, Jia Peng began to look at the heroes.
There were a few tab in the selection interface, which were [all[top lane[middle lane[jungler[Archer, and [support]. Clicking on the tags could quickly filter out the heroes in that position.
There were only 25 heroes in the current version. After screening, there were only five heroes in each position, which was not a lot. However, none of them had played it before, so they were still struggling with choosing their champion for a long time.
Jia Peng wanted to look at the undead knight skin, but the other two immediately locked garen and Vayne down, leaving him speechless.
Without a choice, Jia Peng chose the Wuji Sword Saint, Master Yi. This hero reminded him of the Grand Swordmaster in Warcraft, and he looked quite powerful.
Wen Lingwei and Chang xiuya chose Annie and Lulu, for the simple reason that they were cute.
Originally, Chang xiuya wanted to choose Teemo, but considering that she already had a top champion, garen, she still chose the fairy witch, Lulu, in the support column.
In the New Player Guide, Chen Mo specifically taught the players the roles of the five positions and encouraged them to choose their players based on the five positions.
Of course, this was just an encouragement. The players could choose any hero they wanted, even five Archer Heroes.
However, this obvious distribution of positions also played a very good guiding role. At least these five passers-by, who didn't understand the game at all, had chosen a very perfect lineup. This was simply a miracle.
There was still some time before he confirmed his champion, so Jia Peng began to look at the other information on the interface.
During this time, players could choose their hero skin, talent, and Summoner skills.
In terms of talent, Chen Mo used the talent tree from S3 for the time being, and didn't have skills like thunder and grip of the undying. This was mainly to reduce the cost of learning in the early stages and wait for the later versions to release new talent systems.
The S3 talents were very simple. Most of them increased the number of points. The attack, defense, and general talents were also very clear. It was easy to figure out how to add points after a little research.
Jia Peng's account had only unlocked the first row of talents.
There were six rows of talents, and the sixth row was the ultimate talent. Players would unlock a row of talents every two levels, and they would be fully unlocked at level 10.
As for the summoner skills, they could start with sprint, heal, and punishment. At Level 3, they could unlock barrier and weakness. At Level 5, they could unlock teleportation and purification. At Level 7, they could unlock ignite. At level 9, they could unlock flash.
In other words, after level 10, the combat power provided by the account would no longer have any difference.
Jia Peng took a look. There was nothing to adjust for his talent and Summoner skill, but considering that he was a jungler hero, he still added [punishment] as a Summoner skill.
He also took the opportunity to look through Master Yi's skin.
Like the other heroes, Master Yi also had three skins. The best one was marked with the words "epic" and was called "carefree swordsman". From the appearance, the model of this skin was very different from the original model. It was an image of a Chinese swordsman wearing ancient clothes and holding a long sword.
Jia Peng's eyes brightened, and an urge to buy, buy, buy, buy rose in his heart.
This was Chen Mo's Original Skin, because he felt that Master Yi's original skins weren't that good. Only Project Origin and astral executioner were better, the other skins were basically trash.
Therefore, Chen Mo decided to create a new skin based on the image of Chinese swordsmen and named it 'carefree swordsman'.
The new skin was much better looking than Master Yi's Original Skin, and before Jia Peng could fight his inner desires, the game had already started.
I'll play it for a while. If the hero is good, I'll consider buying a skin ... Jia Peng thought.

Chapter 296: There's a skin for computers too
He loaded the game.
Jia Peng's team had garen, Blademaster, Annie, Vayne, and Lulu.
On the computer were the lava beast, Twisted Fate, Sword Saint, lucky sister, and Soraka.
The computer's hero was randomly selected from the current hero library, one for each of the five positions.
However, considering the fact that a jungler AI would be required for a jungler, Chen Mo didn't do it and let the computer split the hero into two by default.
Jia Peng looked at the game interface and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
"This, this is f * cking! Why does the computer have a skin?"
There were two skins on the computer across from him. They were the sword Saint Master Yi's carefree swordsman and the lava beast Morfit's Overlord beast.
Carefree swordsman aside, Jia Peng had been eyeing the skin of the lava beast (stone golems) for a long time before he entered the game, and Jia Peng's heart was itching for it.
From the original art, it was a huge mecha beast. It looked very technological and very oppressive.
Jia Peng exclaimed,"holy shit, this skin is so cool!" It seems that we can't call the lava beast an ugly B * stard hero anymore. Whether it's ugly or not depends on whether the summoner has money. "
Chang xiuya's attention was all on the cute animals,""There's no Teemo on the other side either. I'm so disappointed ..."
Every time there were five computers, two heroes would have skins. Of course, the heroes and skins that appeared were random. The reason for this was simple. They wanted to use the AI as a way to show the skins so that the players could see all kinds of new skins while playing on the computer. This would stimulate their desire to shop.
As for why all five computers didn't have skins ... Poor players also wanted to save face!
After entering the game, Jia Peng bought a jungler blade and health potion according to the recommended equipment.
Jia Peng had already bought some equipment during the newbie experience, so he was quite familiar with it now.
Jia Peng felt that the equipment system was simply too convenient.
Every hero had a default equipment recommendation, which was divided into five modules, namely, equipment for the first round, early equipment, mid equipment, six godly equipment 1, and six godly equipment 2.
Clicking on the equipment icon on the left, the entire synthesis process of the equipment would appear on the right. The equipment that could be bought would be in the normal state, and the equipment that could not be bought would be put in gray. It was clear at a glance.
In other words, it didn't matter even if the players knew nothing about the equipment system. They just had to pick the recommended equipment one by one.
Moreover, there was also [all items] in the tab on the right, which was organized according to starting items, tools, defense, attack, magic, and movement.
In Chen Mo's previous life, most of the recommended equipment wasn't suitable, and the players had already come up with a better way to get it. Therefore, Chen Mo made some changes to it. His arrangement was based on the high-end games and competitions in his previous life.
As for the two sets of six gods equipment, they were determined according to the characteristics of different heroes, and players were free to choose.
Of course, players could also freely change the arrangement of each hero.
After buying the jungler, Jia Peng controlled Blademaster to quickly leave the house and arrive at the blue BUFF.
He had already understood from the tutorial that the so-called jungler hero was a champion whose gold came from the jungle and tried not to kill minions in the lane. As for the jungler, he could start with the blue BUFF or the red BUFF, depending on the player's plan for the jungler route.
Jia Peng preferred the blue BUFF because he felt that Blademaster was a hero with a mana bar. This mana recovery BUFF was like the Mana Spring water in Warcraft, it should be very useful.
The other Champions also came online.
"All troops, attack!"
With a system notification, the soldiers from both sides began to appear from the crystal hub and marched toward the enemy base.
In Jia Peng's eyes, these soldiers were quite ugly. They had the same style, unlike the rich variety in Warcraft.
However, the soldiers were designed to be like this on purpose so that they would not steal the attention of the players.
Jia Peng was very relaxed.
This was different from Warcraft. In battle mode, Jia Peng felt like he was on high alert, even the sound of a rooster crowing at dawn could make him nervous.
This wasn't just a matter of the game's rhythm, it was also a matter of the game's style and atmosphere.
In Warcraft, there were a lot of sound effects, but they also made people busy.
The farmers were building houses diligently, and when they were done, they would give you a notification.
There would be a notification when the technology was successfully developed.
There would be a notification when new minions and heroes were created.
There would be a notification when the population was full.
All sorts of units would be alerted when they were attacked.
Even when you were controlling the hero to move, he would say something to you every time you clicked on the floor. If you clicked on it without stopping, he would say it without stopping.
The players were constantly receiving all sorts of information. With Warcraft's dark, realistic style and slightly tense background music, the players couldn't help but focus as they immersed themselves in the game.
Of course, the advantage of doing this was that it would make it easier for players to immerse themselves in the game and concentrate.
However, there was also a disadvantage. This kind of tension would make the players feel tired.
League of Legends had made a lot of adjustments to these issues.
The background music was melodious and soothing. Even when an intense team battle broke out, there would not be any intense or exciting background music. If one did not pay attention, they might even ignore the existence of the background music.
At the same time, there were no more complicated sound effects, and even the voice of the hero did not appear as frequently.
When the player was controlling the hero to move, the hero would only say a sentence after a few seconds. There were many different voice messages, unlike in Warcraft where the hero would respond immediately and speak endlessly.
In addition to the high brightness and saturation levels of the graphics, as well as the chibi style, the players were in a relatively relaxed state of mind when playing the game.
(Of course, if it was a key team battle or a more important promotion match, the players would naturally be nervous. There was no need to use images or sounds to stimulate them.)
The blue BUFF refreshed, and a huge dark blue carved Golem appeared in front of the sword Saint.
Jia Peng controlled the Bladesman to use Alpha Strike and began to farm the blue BUFF.
Jia Peng had briefly looked at Blademaster Yi's skills before, and he concluded that even though Blademaster Yi was weaker than the Blademaster in Warcraft, there was one thing that was great.
There was no jumping dagger skill.
None of Master Yi's four skills were skills that relied on luck, which greatly improved Jia Peng's impression of him.

Chapter 297: Chapter 296 positive feedback
Master Yi waved the long sword in his hand and kept attacking the blue BUFF.
His movements were very smooth, and the sense of attack was not bad. The movements matched with the attack sound effects gave off a feeling of knife cutting into flesh.
Soon, the blue statue fell to the ground, and a blue BUFF appeared under the sword saint's feet.
Master Yi's health was quite good, and Jia Peng nodded with satisfaction before continuing to farm the wolves.
Chen Mo canceled the rune system and made some adjustments to it, so it wouldn't be as difficult for new players to jungle.
Jungling wasn't supposed to be that difficult. In Chen Mo's previous life, due to runes and innate attributes, even if a side account had jungler equipment, jungling was extremely difficult, slow and took a lot of health. That's why it was rare to see a jungler even at level 10, most of them splitting up into 2 – 1 – 2 roles.
This was very disadvantageous to the popularization of jungler positions.
As such, Chen Mo made some changes to the system and encouraged players to practice with jungling heroes.
However, before Jia Peng could finish killing the three wolves, a loud "FISRT BLOOD" resounded throughout the arena.
Jia Peng was stunned. What was going on?
On a closer look, garen, who was on the top lane, had already dealt first blood, while the lava beast and the Grand Swordmaster on the enemy's top lane were already pushing the tower.
Jia Peng was speechless.
He was too focused on jungling to notice how garen had died. However, Jia Peng was also puzzled. It had only been a few minutes since the start of the game, how could he be dead?
Since he was just a passerby, Jia Peng didn't say much and continued to farm the bottom half of the jungle.
In the end, garen spoke up."Sword Saint, come and help me. I can't fight two people at once."
"If you can't beat me, then go to the tower. Wait for me," Jia Peng said helplessly.
"Oh," Galen replied.
Garen really did just log in under the tower.
Jia Peng felt a little tired, but at least garen didn't send him off.
As he moved his view to the top lane, Jia Peng also glanced at the Blademaster.
He's so handsome!
Not only had the model changed, but even the movements were different from the original moves of a Grand Swordmaster. The movements of this carefree swordsman, Master Yi, were very similar to those floating swordsmen in wuxia. They were very agile, and every time they swung their swords, there would be a flash of cold light. They were very handsome.
He looked at his Original Skin and immediately felt that it was too horrible to look at.
Jia Peng sighed helplessly and continued to farm the red BUFF.
However, before he could finish, he received another notification."Our hero has been killed!"
Jia Peng saw that Vayne at the bottom lane was dead.
Jia Peng's face was full of confusion, this was really bad news!
"This man, he, he's too impulsive," Chang xiuya explained."He charged up and fought two people at once ..."
Jia Peng shook his head helplessly. He wanted to type "no need", but after some thought, he deleted it and typed: "Good luck, everyone!"
Both sister lucky and Soraka were not at full health at the bottom lane, but they continued to push the lane relentlessly after Vayne was killed. Chang xiuya was shivering under the turret at the bottom lane, and could only try her best to kill a few minions with her skills.
Jia Peng saw a golden opportunity, and immediately outflanked Chang xiuya from the back after the red BUFF was over. He then said to Chang xiuya,""Hold on, I'm almost there!"
Jia Peng had already arrived, and the computer only noticed him then. Soraka and lucky sister turned around to attack. Jia Peng pressed his E-skill, boundless Kendo, and Bladesman immediately rushed towards lucky sister, who had lower HP.
"Jia Peng!" Chang xiuya panicked,"be careful! There are two of them!"
"I'm fine, just follow me!"Jia Peng said.
Chang xiuya hurriedly cast an E-skill on Jia Peng, creating a shield around him. Then, with a flurry of attacks, her Q-skill and W-skill were all thrown onto lucky sister.
"Acting cute technique!"
Following Lu Lu's shout, lucky sister turned into a harmless little animal. Jia Peng, on the other hand, didn't care about animals at all as he continued to hack at her.
"This will be a painful lesson!"
The Wuji Sword Saint waved his long sword, and under the red BUFF's speed reduction effect and additional damage, he quickly cut down sister good luck to the ground. At this time, his health was still very good, and he continued to rush toward Soraka.
One strike, two strikes, three strikes ...
Master Yi's attack speed was very fast. Finally, after an Alpha Strike, Master Yi also killed Soraka and escaped from the range of the defensive towers with low health.
The players who were watching the battle heard what Master Yi said.
"Watch and learn."
"DOUBLE KILL!"
The sound effect of the notification rang throughout the entire arena. Furthermore, a special double-kill icon appeared in the center of everyone's screens, as well as Master Yi's head portrait.
"Wow, Jia Peng, you're amazing!" Chang xiuya exclaimed.
Jia Peng was a little embarrassed, and he grinned,""Hehe, it's nothing. It's a computer after all."
Although he said it was nothing, Jia Peng was actually very happy. The system's positive feedback for this kill was very good, which made him feel very happy.
In MOBA games, it was relatively difficult to obtain kills. As for the triple, quadruple, and quintuple kills, they were even more difficult to obtain.
In COG, there was no such rich positive feedback. Killing someone was nothing more than a dry system prompt, and there was no feeling.
However, in League of Legends, this positive feedback was amplified in all aspects.
When a hero attacked an enemy hero, there would be a special attack voice. For example, Master Yi's line was: "This will be a painful lesson!"
After the kill was completed, the system would notify all players that "the enemy hero has been killed" and display the avatars of the killer and the killed. The bottom frame would be differentiated by red and blue.
If special conditions were met, such as double-kill, multi-kill, team wipe, super god, etc., There would be a special voice prompt and special icon to show it, which everyone could see clearly.
After the battle, if the hero killed someone and survived, he would say a special voice to show off. For example, the sword saint's line was: "Watch and learn." (Chen Mo had taken this from some video highlights.)
If other players happened to see this hero, they would also hear the same sentence.
Although he was killing the computer, Jia Peng still felt very happy. He went back to the city to buy equipment.
In League of Legends, the B key was used as a recall key, allowing newbies to recall anywhere when they ran out of health without using any resources, which was very convenient for Jia Peng.
After buying his equipment, Jia Peng went out again, cleared a few more monsters, and set his sights on the top lane.
After being killed once, garen obediently stayed under the tower. Fortunately, it was just a simple computer, so both sides had been at peace.
Jia Peng followed the tutorial and pressed the ALT key to send an icon that said "heading to support". With a crisp "ding", Jia Peng was sure that garen had heard and seen it, unless he wasn't in front of his computer screen.

Chapter 298: Chapter 297-human-head dog
Sure enough, garen raised the great sword in his hand and rushed over, shouting,""Demacia!"
"F * ck!"
Jia Peng was dumbfounded. He had only just reached the blue BUFF, and was still a distance away from the top lane. Garen was in a bad state, with only half of his health left.
Obviously, after seeing the signal, Galen did not even look at where the Grand Swordmaster was and rushed over.
"Big brother, wait for me to go first!"
Jia Peng didn't have time to type. After garen rushed up, he was smashed into the sky by the lava monster's big move. Then, he was madly attacked by the opponent's Blademaster. Even with his W-skill, he couldn't withstand it.
By the time Jia Peng arrived, garen was already dead.
Fortunately, the two opposing heroes had no skills left, and their health was low. Jia Peng's Blademaster activated Highlander and rushed over, raising his sword.
Alpha Strike!
The Grand Swordmaster's figure turned into a stream of light, directly cutting the low HP stone golem. Although the Grand Swordmaster himself no longer had the red BUFF and the speed reduction effect, his movement speed was very fast. The two opposing heroes were also very far away from the defensive tower, so the stone golem fell very quickly.
After activating the Highlander skill, the Swordmaster's skills would refresh when he killed. Therefore, the Swordmaster used Alpha Strike again and killed the enemy Swordmaster with a few slashes.
Blademaster Yi, who had activated his Highlander, was running around like a Mad Dog, leaving afterimages behind him. It looked extremely cool.
A deep system voice resounded throughout the arena.[Massacre!]
"Sword Saint, why don't you come in the morning?"
Master Yi was speechless.
Jia Peng didn't know how to explain it, so he decided to just leave it at that. Since he'd already taken the head, the result was good.
……
Completing four kills without dying was [massacre, completing eight kills without dying was [super god massacre].
Chen Mo had been struggling with the system audio for quite some time. The main reason was that there were some words like "first blood" that sounded less impressive in Chinese, so in Chen Mo's previous life, even the China Style game, Mobile Legends, still had English pronunciations like "FIRST BLOOD" and "PENTA KILL".
However, Chen Mo also considered that in his previous life, MOBA games were imported, and the players were already used to English audio, so they kept the English audio effects.
However, Chen Mo's League of Legends was for Chinese players who had never played any MOBA games before. If there were too many English pronunciations, the players would be confused.
After much thought, Chen Mo decided to use only "FISRT BLOOD,""DOUBLE KILL,""triple KILL,""QUADRA KILL" and "PENTA KILL", and use Chinese for the rest.
The sound effects of the combo kill were changed to "massacre,""unstoppable,""dominate the competition,""God-level massacre," and "super-God massacre."
After the A-list voice actors shouted out these words in Chinese, it felt quite realistic and did not feel too out of place.
Of course, Chen Mo considered the fact that he would have to make an International Version in the future, and that some people might have other preferences, so he added an entire set of English voices, allowing the players to switch between them freely.
……
Wen Lingwei and Twisted Fate were fighting in the middle lane, neither of them could kill the other. They would go home when they were low on health, and after playing for more than 10 minutes, there was no kill count.
There weren't many kills on the top and bottom lanes, and all of them were assists, all of which were taken by Jia Peng's Blademaster.
Moreover, as the number of Grand Swordmaster kills increased, his equipment also became better and better. Soon, he completely crushed the computer with his equipment.
In the end, as long as Jia Peng saw a computer, he would immediately activate his Highlander and rush up, killing with a few slashes.
The sword Saint was not only fast at killing people, but he was also fast at destroying towers. The other four followed him and soon broke the crystal of the computer and won.
In the end, the Grand Swordmaster's score was 13/0/4, and he had taken most of the kills.
"Wow, Jia Peng, you're amazing!" Chang xiuya exclaimed.
Jia Peng scratched his head in embarrassment,""That, luck, luck."
"He's a dog with a human head,"Wen Lingwei said.
Jia Peng coughed dryly,"ahem, I don't like that. What do you mean a human-head dog? a head that was taken by skill, how could it be a human-head dog ..."
At the end of the battle, Jia Peng was looking at his stats happily.
In Warcraft, there would be a calculation interface after a battle, and you could check the economic comparison between the two sides.
However, in League of Legends, the data was more abundant.
On the entire interface, there were three options: [scoreboard[chart, and [overview].
In the scoreboard, you could check all the heroes 'equipment, battle records, Summoner skills, and so on.
In the [chart, you could view various detailed data of the heroes, including damage output, healing amount, damage received, the number of minions or monsters killed, and so on. The damage could also be subdivided, including the (physical/magic/true) damage dealt to the heroes and the total damage dealt. In total damage, there was also damage to the defensive towers and strategic points (defensive towers, big and small dragons, etc.).
Moreover, all the data could be displayed in the form of a chart, and the length could be seen at a glance.
In the overview column, you could view the economic curve of both sides. You could see the distribution of heroes 'kills on the map. After choosing a hero, you could also see the hero's kill and death location on the map.
Through the final calculation interface, it was clear who carried and who was cheated.
After a battle, players only needed to look at two statistics to determine whether their carry points were good or not. One was the battle record, and the other was the amount of damage. Of course, the damage taken, the number of CS, and other data could also be used as an important standard to measure his performance.
Even those who had never experienced this game could roughly guess the entire process of the battle from the data and roughly see the key points of winning and losing.
In some games, the statistics were not detailed enough.
Some games, on the other hand, deliberately made the statistics less detailed for the sake of the players 'feelings.
But this would have the opposite effect.
For the players who were cheated, they couldn't see the data and didn't know what they were doing wrong. They didn't know how to improve and improve, and they would never grow and improve.
And the final result was likely to be that everyone felt that they played well, and then entered the stage of endless abuse, which would eventually make the whole game environment worse.
Of course, with these data, the person who cheated could also refuse to admit his mistake, but at least it would make the carry feel better. He could also post the battle results on his WeChat moments and add a sentence: "I can't move this group of scammers!"

Chapter 299: Feedback from the experience store players
Jia Peng was very happy.
Although he felt that this game was not as difficult as Warcraft, he was satisfied as long as he killed.
It was very easy.
Killing people felt good.
He could even show off in front of his friends.
It was simply perfect!
Wen Lingwei glanced at him."Enough, stop being so happy about your results. Let's have another round. It was a little weird just now, and you got the kill."
"Alright," he said. Jia Peng invited the two of them again, and they lined up again.
Chang xiuya was still a little scared, thinking that she couldn't play the game well, but seeing how good Jia Peng was, she felt that it didn't matter if she didn't play well, at least she could lie down with him.
The feeling of winning while lying down was pretty good.
As for Jia Peng, he was even happier. He couldn't wait to experience the thrill of Master Yi's crazy killing again.
He entered the game selection interface again.
This time, everyone chose a different champion.
Jia Peng's fear of choosing was acting up again. He turned to Chen Zhao and asked,""Manager, which hero is the best?"
"They're all powerful,"Chen Zhao said indifferently.
Jia Peng didn't believe him,"manager, don't lie to me. How can they all be good? There are definitely some who are powerful and some who aren 't. "
Chen Mo rolled his eyes,"I feel like you're questioning my ability to balance the numbers." These heroes are really powerful, but they have different positions and responsibilities. "
"Alright," he said. Jia Peng thought for a moment and changed his way of putting it,"then, are there any other heroes that are similar to the sword Saint?"
Chen Zhao thought for a moment.
Because it was the first version, there were not many assassin heroes that could be shown. The popular children's Zed and torsos had not been developed yet.
"You can try the Barbarian King or the clown." Chen Zhao said.
Jia Peng took a look and saw that someone had already locked Teemo down, leaving him with only a jungler position.
"Then I'll pick the clown as the jungler." As Jia Peng spoke, he chose the demon clown sakke.
In terms of the hero's image, he was a very cool hero, very similar to some perverted murderers in American dramas. In terms of image, he was like a child's nightmare.
"Manager, how do we play this champion?" Jia Peng asked after looking at the clown's skills.
In terms of skills, the clown was the same as the sword Master, an assassin-type hero. His Q-skill was displacement and invisibility, his W-skill was to place a box on the ground, his E-skill was to slow down, and his R-SKILL was to clone himself.
However, Jia Peng couldn't think of a better combo just by looking at the skill description.
Chen Zhao explained,"the box can be used in jungles. It can also be thrown into the grass to trick people." He used his Q-skill, invisible wall, and E-skill to slow his opponent down. Big moves can be used to escape or to heal damage. "
"...Sure, manager, your teaching is very clear."
This was another advantage of League of Legends's simplified routines, which made it very easy to teach between players.
A champion like the demonic clown should be considered a difficult champion, but its basic playstyle and routine could still be explained clearly in a few simple words.
Especially after Jia Peng had played the Wuji Bladesman, he had a basic understanding of how assassin-type heroes were played, and it was even easier to understand the characteristics of the clown hero.
The second Battle between humans and machines met with a slight setback, mainly because Teemo at the top lane was a little too aggressive, giving away four heads in less than ten minutes.
Fortunately, Jia Peng carried the game with his life and grabbed the two computers on the top lane a few times, so he didn't lose the game.
"Phew, that scared me to death. It would be too embarrassing if I lost. So the biggest threat in this game is your teammates. " Jia Peng said as he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
Chen Zhao couldn't help but laugh. This was the truth.
After all, one should not be afraid of a god-like opponent, but of a pig-like teammate.
Chen Mo patted Jia Peng's shoulder."You guys have fun. I'll go check on the others."
In the entire PC experience area of the experience store, about 80% of the players were playing League of Legends.
However, there were also a small number of players who didn't like this kind of confrontational game, or they didn't understand the game, so they closed the game after experiencing it for a while.
Chen Mo wasn't surprised, because these types of competitive games could only be fun when you're really in it, and it'd be best if you had good friends to play with.
Most people were still stuck in the stage of the battle between humans and machines, and the true charm of League of Legends had not been fully revealed.
Everyone was playing in a daze. The bright, cheeky style and simple game controls made it difficult for people to realize how powerful a PC game it would become.
Some players would ask Chen Mo questions from time to time.
Manager, How do I play hero? can you help me?"
"Manager, what level do I have to be to hit people? I'm tired of playing on the computer!"
"Manager, I'm super godly! Don't you think I'm gifted?"
"Manager, how do you play Teemo? can you teach him?"
……
Chen Mo walked around and gave some advice whenever players asked questions, as well as their feedback on the game.
So far, the players didn't have much opinion about the game, but they didn't boast about it either.
Many people thought it was just a normal PvP game. Those who hadn't played Warcraft's PvP maps thought the game was too simple and monotonous, while those who had played Warcraft's PvP maps thought it was too simple.
After all, the core players of Warcraft were more or less used to forming teams, but this game didn't even have that, which made them very uncomfortable.
Moreover, the mixed and matched style of the heroes made many old players feel that the game was not so solemn and the sense of immersion was less.
Like Warcraft and Diablo, the game environment was perfect. The art styles, sound effects, and environment were all very attractive to hardcore players.
However, League of Legends gave the players a sense of surrealism, as if they were children playing house.
There were cute heroes like Timo, Annie, and Lulu in the game, and the overall style was more Q-like.
The shape and special attack effects of the defense tower, the crystal hub, the minions ... These elements in the map also seemed unreal, like toys.
The appearance of the soldiers was too simple, and there was almost no sound effect. They were like rows of ants, and they didn't even scream when they died.
Furthermore, in the game, heroes would not feel too much frustration after they died. They would just fall to the ground and scream, and then the screen would turn black and white. However, they only needed to wait for more than ten seconds before they were resurrected, and they could jump back to the front line again.
These hardcore players felt that Chen Mo's new game was not as good as Warcraft or Diablo.
Of course, they were too embarrassed to say it out loud, and only vaguely asked Chen Mo if he could make the entire battlefield more realistic, at least to let the players feel more immersed.
Chen Mo smiled but didn't say anything.

Chapter 300: Chapter 299 heated discussion
While they were collecting feedback from the players in the League of Legends Experience Store, the research and development team did not stay idle.
Zhao Yunting was busy buying servers and looking for customer service companies. The others were also dealing with the details of the game, preparing promotional materials, and preparing for the first release of League of Legends.
League of Legends was different from other games before it. It would have a huge number of players in the future, so it would have high requirements on the server.
Chen Mo had made many online games before, such as I am MT, Onmyoji, etc. The servers were all Cloud Virtual Machine, and the customer service teams were all from specialized customer service companies.
The server technology in this world was very mature, because many VR games had a terrifying amount of data transmission. If they could move VR games 'servers, they could move League of Legends as well.
However, Chen Mo didn't dare to be careless. He specifically told Zhao Yunting not to think about saving money on the server and customer service, and that they had to do their best.
They had to ensure that the normal delay in League of Legends was below 10 ms, and every question of the players had to be answered in a timely and professional manner.
The development of League of Legends could be said to be very fast, or rather, very rushed.
On one hand, there was a BUG like game editor in this world, which made developing games much faster. On the other hand, the initial version of League of Legends that Chen Mo planned wasn't too complicated, with only twenty-five heroes.
Therefore, before the prototype of COG's game was released, Chen Mo had already made the first version of League of Legends and put it in the experience store not long after the mmorpgs and FPS games of Emperor dynasty and Zen were created.
It had to be admitted that "speed is the key to success" was a saying in the gaming circle, especially during the critical period. One month earlier or one month later, the same game could have a different ending.
Even though League of Legends was a game of high quality, Chen Mo didn't want to give his opponents any chance to make a comeback.
……
The information about League of Legends was quickly spread online by the players in the experience store.
Many of them had recorded videos of the game and introduced the game to other players.
As soon as the news spread, it quickly set off a huge uproar among the players. For most of the players, they were dumbfounded after hearing the news.
Chen Mo had done a good job of keeping it a secret, so there wasn't a single bit of information about it being leaked. Most people didn't expect Chen Mo to be making a game like this.
The players were all discussing the videos that were circulating on the internet.
"Chen Mo's new game is out? This was too F * cking fast! Is it going to be a small production like eich again?"
"I can't really tell, but according to the players in the experience store, Chen Mo seems to place a lot of importance on this game. It doesn't look like it's just for fun, it should be the core game for the next stage."
"Why does this feel a little like a COG?"
"Similar my a * s. The splitting, map layout, heroes, and even the style are completely different from COG. How are they similar?"
"Uh, I mean they're all this kind of 5V5 competitive games."
"If you put it that way, then the earliest 5V5 competitive games should be Chen Mo's own Chenghai 3C. Chen Mo explained that Chenghai is to commemorate a friend of his, and 3c means three corders, which means three paths. "
"Uh, fine, my bad. So you're saying that Chen Mo specifically optimized the 3C gameplay and made an independent game?"
"...Why does it feel like this is what the author of COG is doing?"
"Weren't there a lot of people on the forums urging Chen Mo to work with the COG author? and Chen Mo made a similar game??"
"I've done some calculations. League of Legends should have been in development before COG became popular. In other words ... Chen Zhao had already planned this, so he didn't care?"
"I'm supportive of Chen Mo making games as an official, since the author of COG is a foreigner, but...What the hell is this game? Where is my Arthas? Where's my Dark Ranger?"
"Yeah, I thought this game was similar to Warcraft, but the style ... Is this a cartoon game?"
"I don't care! I want Arthas!!"
"Moreover, from the demo, the game is quite simple, especially in terms of control. There's no formation, and the skills are fixed at QWERDF. All the controls only need a dozen keys."
"The style is a little too fresh. I don't feel anything."
"I don't think there's any technique to speak of."
"Just one picture? Even though this was the beta version, wasn't Chen Mo a little too much? You can change the Warcraft map too. "
"The one above, have you never played COG? In fact, there's only one drawing in a COG, not to mention that the drawing in League of Legends is much more complicated than a COG. "
"The number of heroes is okay, 25, but there are a lot of heroes here that I can't even comment on. For example, Teemo, is he a rabbit or a raccoon? I don't think such a young hero is for kindergarteners to play with, right?"
"Upstairs, do you all have such a big opinion? I think this game is not bad after watching the video. At least it's easy to get started, the rules are clear, and the pleasure of killing people is pretty good. It's at least above standard. "
"You don't understand, we're asking for more because it's Chen Mo. He's already made games like Warcraft and Diablo, so this new game is obviously not as good! It's obvious that it was made to speed up the progress!"
"Do you guys think that Chen Mo made a new game because he wasn't convinced by COG?"
"I don't know, if you're not happy with COG, shouldn't you use Warcraft's heroes? Why do you have to create so many new heroes?"
"I feel like Chen Mo is messing around!"
……
Soon, the players on the forum were in a heated argument.
Since most of Chen Mo's PC fans were from Warcraft and Diablo, they were used to the realistic and dark art style. They were also quite skilled in the controls, so they were definitely not used to the art style and controls of League of Legends.
In their eyes, this wasn't a change in style, but a regression in skill.
Of course, there were also many players who supported League of Legends or were just waiting to see. To them, the change in style was probably a change and attempt by Chen Mo.
Whether or not League of Legends would succeed, they all supported Chen Mo's attempt and changes.
There were also some players who liked to play COG who had a bad guess.
Chen Mo didn't disclose any information about working with the maker of COG, and the new game League of Legends was obviously a direct competitor of COG, so ...
Wouldn't that mean that the COG maker wouldn't be able to get the rights to the heroes in Warcraft?

Chapter 301: Chapter 300: spying on the enemy
What if they couldn't get the copyright?
All the models would have to be changed, and even the names and titles of some heroes would have to be modified. The names of the equipment in the game would also have to be redone.
Although for big players like GA, this kind of change was not too troublesome, it was too damaging to the original group of players of COG. Many people liked COG because they liked the hero characters in Azeroth. If all of them were changed, the whole spiritual essence would be different.
However, there were also speculations that Clive Lehmann and GA wanted to make the game a game that would be popular all over the world, and wouldn't be restricted to the original player base. So to them, even if they couldn't get the copyright, it would only be a small setback, it wouldn't be a big blow.
Some people were confused.
Some people felt pity.
However, Chen Mo's goal of releasing League of Legends first was achieved. Even though the game wasn't widely promoted yet, it still attracted a lot of attention after it was released during the special break before the new year.
……
Emperor dynasty Entertainment's headquarters.
Lin chaoxu looked at the demo of League of Legends on his computer screen and frowned.
To him, this matter was very confusing.
Emperor dynasty entertainment had already heard from GA that Chen Mo had rejected their offer to buy the rights to Warcraft characters, and was very firm about it.
This was within Lin chaoxu's expectations. He knew how much Chen Zhao valued the universe of Azeroth and that Chen Zhao wasn't someone who would be greedy for short-term benefits.
However, Lin chaoxu was completely confused about League of Legends.
Lin chaoxu knew about it after the demo of League of Legends was released on the internet. However, after reading the relevant information and discussing it with the players, Lin chaoxu's doubts grew.
The first question was, why did Chen Mo make a game like this?
Ads by Pubfuture
According to the players in the experience store, Chen Mo placed a lot of importance on this game, and even made it the main part of the next development phase. However, in Lin chaoxu's eyes, these types of PvP games were just for fun. With Chen Mo's current abilities and funds, he could definitely make a bigger game.
Lin chaoxu's desire to act as COG's proxy was equivalent to a bet. This was a brand new game model and was relatively novel. It was good if it worked, but there was no big loss if it didn 't.
But Chen Mo seemed to be confident that this game would work?
The second question was why Chen Zhao didn't become Azeroth.
If Chen Mo's new game was directly competing with COG, then it was perfectly reasonable for him not to sell the rights to the characters in Warcraft. However, it was strange that he didn't sell it or use it for himself.
Moreover, from the video, the art style and playstyle of League of Legends were different from any other games that Chen Mo had made before. From Lin chaoxu's point of view, Chen Mo had completely given up on his previous advantages and was making a very risky attempt.
Lin chaoxu found it hard to put his mind at ease.
Chen Mo hadn't done anything before, but releasing League of Legends all of a sudden meant that he was prepared to make a name for himself, and wanted to make use of the time difference to release the game as soon as possible.
Lin chaoxu was very clear on the principle of 'speed is the key to success'.
There was a knock on the door.
Lin chaoxu organized his thoughts and said,"come in."
A somewhat reserved man walked in and bowed slightly.""President Lin, you were looking for me?"
Lin chaoxu pointed to the seat beside him,""Have a seat."
The man looked like he was in his early thirties, wearing sneakers, jeans, and a brown top. He looked no different from the ordinary employees of Emperor dynasty entertainment.
In reality, Jin jieguang was one of Emperor dynasty Entertainment's mid-level managers, and he was in charge of matters related to COG's operations.
Lin chaoxu's evaluation of this person was "extremely diligent at work, but lacking in intelligence." In terms of work attitude, Jin jieguang was a model figure in Emperor dynasty entertainment. He was devoted to his work and had little private life.
Usually, when Lin chaoxu gave him an order, as long as he clearly explained all the things to take note of, he would be able to complete it better.
However, this person wasn't suitable for work that required a high degree of autonomy, and his popularity within Emperor dynasty entertainment was average.
But this wasn't important to Lin chaoxu. To him, people like Jin jieguang should be the classic example of a good employee. They were honest, obedient, and hardworking. Their low IQ had become their strengths.

Lin chaoxu showed the screen of his laptop to Jin jieguang,""Have you seen the demo of League of Legends?"
"Chief Lin, I've been paying attention to this matter. I've seen it before," said Jin jieguang hurriedly.
Lin chaoxu nodded. Jin jieguang was indeed reliable.
"Any thoughts?" Lin chaoxu asked.
Jin jieguang thought for a moment."Mr. Lin, I think the information revealed in this video is still quite little. Moreover, watching a video and playing it yourself are still different. You can't tell how good a game is just by watching a video."
Lin chaoxu was very satisfied with this statement. He had the same thoughts as well.
"Boss Lin," Jin jieguang volunteered,"I think it doesn't matter if League of Legends is a good game or not. If Chen Mo values this game, then we should."
"I want to try out League of Legends at Chen Mo's Experience Store and create a detailed experience report for further analysis."
Lin chaoxu nodded his head in satisfaction,"good, very good." I feel like you've opened your mind? Not bad, maintain your current working state. "
Jin jieguang nodded vigorously."Okay, Mr. Lin. I'll get ready. I'll book the tickets now."
……
……
Coming out of the airport, Jin jieguang's biggest feeling was that the capital was really cold.
However, his heart was filled with pride.
Even though there were people who criticized him inside Emperor dynasty entertainment and in the gaming industry, Jin jieguang still felt pretty good about himself. After all, in his opinion, it was all thanks to his own hard work that he was able to get to where he was today.
This time, Jin jieguang was also very ambitious. He wanted to push the game "COG" to the top in China and add another glorious stroke to his resume.
As the biggest competitor of COG, League of Legends was a huge threat. Jin jieguang was very concerned about it, which was why he came to Chen Mo's Experience Store to spy on the enemy.
Chen Mo's Experience Store wasn't hard to find. Jin jieguang took a taxi from the airport to Chen Mo's Experience Store and found a nearby hotel to stay in.
After all, it would be too eye-catching to drag a suitcase to the experience store to play games.
Jin jieguang had also changed his clothes to make himself look more like an office worker who had nothing to do with the game industry.
After everything was ready, Jin jieguang went to Chen Mo's Experience Store.

Chapter 302: Chapter 301-fishing for information
Outside the experience store, Jin jieguang couldn't help but feel that the experience store was quite impressive.
Although the floor wasn't high, it was full of people. The hall was full of players, some reading books and some chatting. It was very lively.
Jin jieguang stopped in front of the Arthas statue in front of the experience store for a while and took out his phone to take a picture with Arthas.
The photo was good, and the front soft light camera captured Jin jieguang's ugly face, making him look like a young man. This made Jin jieguang very satisfied, and he couldn't help clicking the share button and posting it on Weibo.
However, Jin jieguang didn't add any text because he didn't want to be too flamboyant.
Jin jieguang was enjoying the selfie while refreshing his Weibo to see if anyone had replied to him. But unfortunately, he had very few fans. After a long time, no one left a message or replied, which made him a little disappointed.
Jin jieguang waited for a while before walking into the experience store.
"Hello, welcome." The front desk girl greeted with a sweet smile.
Jin jieguang went to the front desk, took out his ID card from his wallet, and handed it over.
Jin jieguang knew how to get online in the experience store, so he didn't have to post on the internet asking questions like "how to pretend to be a frequent visitor when it's your first time in a game experience Store".
After the payment, the front desk girl handed back her ID card with both hands.""I wish you a pleasant game."
Jin jieguang smiled and said,"thank you." He thought that this front desk girl was quite cute and polite.
The first floor was the PC experience area. Jin jieguang found an empty computer and sat down.
...
The experience store was quite popular that day, and there were only five or six empty seats left. Jin jieguang walked over and found that most of the people were playing League of Legends.
The style of the game was very recognizable. A row of computers with green screens was very spectacular.
Jin jieguang quickly found the game icon of League of Legends on the computer screen and clicked to start the game.
Beginner's tutorial.
AI practice.
Various game settings.
Jin jieguang played the game very seriously. After getting a general understanding of the game through the tutorial, he didn't rush to continue playing. Instead, he carefully analyzed all aspects of the game and secretly recorded them.
Jin jieguang took out a small notebook from his pocket and specially drew out the entire interface layout of League of Legends.
All the details were as detailed as possible. Jin jieguang recorded everything that was obviously different from COG, regardless of whether he understood it or not.
It was a Summoner's skill.
Talent system.
Profit model.
Hero characteristics.
The game's style.
Jin Jie wrote down everything he saw and soon filled up two or three pages.
What interested him the most was the core gameplay and combat system of the game.
Obviously, compared to COG, League of Legends had many improvements, but there were also many areas where it had regressed.
For example, the basic controls and some specific playing methods.
Jin jieguang, who was playing League of Legends for the first time, was as confused as many other COG players. The game seemed too simple.
However, Jin jieguang had been in charge of the game operation for many years, and he soon realized that the simplification of the operation mode and specific playing methods in League of Legends helped to greatly reduce the difficulty of the game.
For example, canceling the make-up, pressing the B key to return to the city, and a more specific equipment synthesis map could significantly improve the gaming experience of new players.
Jin jieguang took notes seriously.
Suddenly, Jin jieguang heard someone in the PC experience area greeting,""Manager, come and teach me how to play this hero!"
Jin jieguang looked up and saw Chen Mo teaching a player how to play League of Legends at the entrance of the PC experience area.
Jin jieguang had never seen Chen Zhao's photo before, but he had heard of his name. Obviously, Chen Mo was the only one who was called 'manager' in the experience store.
He hurriedly put away the small notebook on the table and calmed down his rather excited mood.
Chen Mo probably didn't know who he was. After all, Chen Mo only cared about people like Lin chaoxu and Qin Xiao. He probably wouldn't care about a normal mid-tier manager like Emperor dynasty entertainment.
Chen Mo quickly finished guiding that player, then walked forward to guide another player.
Jin jieguang suddenly had a bold idea.
Should he pretend to be a player and try to get some information from Chen Mo?
This thought made Jin jieguang very nervous, but it also made him excited.
Although he could get some information by just playing the game, it was definitely superficial information. Since Chen Mo dared to put the game in the experience store, he wouldn't be afraid of people watching.
However, what if he could get a little bit of Chen Mo's design as a player?
Then this trip to the imperial capital would be worth it.
Jin jieguang immediately started a game and pretended to be a player. However, his attention wasn't on the game, but on Chen Mo, who was walking towards him.
Soon, Chen Mo strolled to Jin jieguang's side.
"Manager, can you teach me how to play this hero?" Jin jieguang raised his hand.
Chen Zhao immediately walked over.
Jin jieguang carefully observed Chen Mo's expression. He didn't seem to be surprised, so it was obvious that he thought Chen Mo was just a normal player.
Chen Mo looked at Jin jieguang's computer screen.
"You hero, you just need to die a little more." Chen Zhao said.
"Ah?" Jin jieguang asked.
"Look," Chen Mo explained patiently,"this hero is called Carls the Deathsinger. His passive skill is that he can continue to use skills for seven seconds after death. When he's alive, he's very short of blue, but after he dies, he can release skills without consuming blue. So, after he dies, his combat power will be particularly high. "
"Huh?" Jin jieguang scratched his head.
Chen Mo continued to explain,"his way of playing is quite simple. He'll farm steadily, then when it's time for a teamfight, he'll flash into the crowd, use his W-skill to block the way, and then use his E-skill to deal a lot of damage to the surrounding enemies. When he's dead, he'll release an all-screen ultimate to clear the field." Do you understand?"
"No, I don't quite understand," Jin jieguang replied.
Chen Mo wasn't in a hurry."It's fine. Just remember, don't be afraid of death when playing this champion. Just charge into the crowd and use your E-skill to its full potential."
Jin jieguang scratched his head. Obviously, this was different from his experience when he played COG. A hero that needed to die first to be powerful, what the hell was this?
Seeing that Chen Mo was about to leave, Jin jieguang quickly raised his hand again.
"Wait a minute, manager, I think this champion's positioning is very strange. Why did it become like this?"
"What?" Chen Mo looked at him."Why do you ask?"
Jin jieguang's brain was spinning."I've been playing Warcraft and COG a lot. I don't think there's such a hero in there. That's why I'm curious."
"Oh, you're an old player. In fact, many old players have similar problems. " Chen Mo sat down on the empty seat beside him and explained patiently,"actually, this hero was designed for noobs."

Chapter 303: Chapter 302-heart to heart
Jin jieguang replied with an "Oh" and pretended to play the game seriously while saying, "I'd like to hear more about it, manager. I feel that this hero is very meaningful. You must have put in a lot of effort back then, right?"
Chen Mo laughed and waved his hand in embarrassment,""That's definitely a loss of some brain cells, but that's how we designers are. We try so hard to squeeze out ideas to make the players have more fun."
"Yes, yes, yes, you're absolutely right, manager," Jin jieguang said with admiration."You're a role model for video game designers."
Chen Mo obviously enjoyed it. He reminded Jin jieguang,""Your champion can use Q-skill in the early game to farm CS. This skill can basically replace normal attacks."
"Alright," Jin jieguang quickly nodded. Manager, you said that this hero was designed for noobs, but why do I feel that it's hard to play?"
You don't understand,"Chen Zhao explained. This hero could use skills even after death, so who would die easily? Newbies die easily. If you're a veteran and you don't die even after playing for half a day, then you're basically born with one less skill, right?"
Jin jieguang nodded,"Yes, that's right."
Chen Mo continued,"also, this hero's ultimate is an all-screen attack. It's used on all enemy heroes. No matter how weak you are, if you see the enemy hero's HP is low, you can use your ultimate and kill it, right?"
Jin jieguang looked at the description of the Deathsinger's big move and felt that it was indeed the case.
"That's why it's a newbie hero. There's nothing wrong with that. " Chen Zhao said.
Jin jieguang nodded immediately. He felt that he had successfully gained Chen Zhao's trust and made Chen Zhao want to show off. He could definitely get more information by beating around the bush.
On the surface, Jin jieguang was playing the game, but in fact, he was constantly thinking about how to change the topic to the design concept of League of Legends.
After thinking for a while, Jin jieguang still decided to use flattery as the main breakthrough. Manager, you're so considerate. You're afraid that the newbies won't know how to play, so you specially designed such a simple hero for them."
...
Chen Mo revealed an enigmatic smile,""Actually, this hero has a deeper meaning."
Jin jieguang's heart was filled with ecstasy, but he still pretended to be unconcerned but slightly interested on the surface."Ah? Is that so?"
Chen Mo hesitated,"well, it's related to my upcoming strategy. It's ... Hard to say."
Jin jieguang's heart sank, and he thought to himself,"don 't, we've already said this, don't play with me."
Before Jin jieguang could think of a reply, Chen Mo continued.
As if he had gone through some intense psychological battle, Chen Zhao stammered,""Actually, it's fine to tell you. After all, you're an old player in the experience store. But you must remember, you can't tell anyone else, or else you'll be digging a hole for me. "
Jin jieguang quickly expressed his opinion."Don't worry, manager. I'm your die-hard fan. I won't say anything!"
Chen Zhao hesitated for a moment, but still said,""Alright, I believe you. You know that Emperor dynasty entertainment and fantasy gaming platform have been targeting us, right?"
"Yeah, I've heard a little about it," Jin jieguang nodded.
Chen Mo lowered his voice,"they want to make a popular game that can dominate the PC market. I think so too." So, the goal of League of Legends is to dominate the PC game market. As for how?"
"You've played COG before, so you should be able to feel that League of Legends has become easier, right? In fact, simple games were the general trend because most players were bad at it, right? Most of the hardcore players have already been divided, so the current situation is that the one with the weakest hand will rule the world. "
Jin jieguang nodded. He thought so too. Chen Mo's words were like a saying of wisdom.
Emperor dynasty Entertainment's "Project: S "and three realms, which was developed by ZEN Entertainment, followed this idea. They reduced the configuration and simplified the operation, so as to capture more players.
So on this point, everyone's line of thought was surprisingly consistent.
"Then, manager, is that why you made so many simplifications in League of Legends?" asked Jin jieguang.
Chen Mo paused for a second and continued,""Actually, League of Legends is only in its early stages. I still have the most crucial strategy for later, waiting to screw over dynasty and divine fantasy."
Jin jieguang listened carefully.
Chen Mo continued,"I'm going to simplify League of Legends!" This includes removing the last hit and equipment system, the team sharing levels, heads, hiding game data, etc. To completely eliminate negative feedback and make it a paradise for new players!"
There was a lot of information in this video, and Jin jieguang's hand trembled. He accidentally ran to the tower and was killed by the computer on the other side.
Cancel the last hit and equipment system?
Share levels and kills?
Hidden data?
This sounded like a big change!
"This ... Will work?" Jin jieguang was puzzled.
"Why can't I?" Chen Mo was obviously getting excited,"look, League of Legends is only a beginner version now. Doesn't it make the newbie experience much better?" There was also a clear synthesis diagram, simplified item operation, designed a special novice hero, and even equipment that could automatically transfer money. Isn't the newbie experience of this version very good?"
"Yes ... Indeed." Jin jieguang nodded.
Chen Mo explained,"but the current version is a lie to Emperor dynasty. I can't perfect the game from the start. Otherwise, they'll copy me." I'll make an incomplete one first, and when they're halfway done, I'll bring out the complete one! When the time comes, tsk, tsk, tsk, you can't even look at the beautiful painting. "
Jin jieguang subconsciously shivered, thinking that Chen Mo was really good at scheming!
Chen Zhao didn't notice his expression. He continued excitedly,""Cancel the negative feedback so that everyone can have a good time. For example, if a newbie's level, CS, and equipment are suppressed, it doesn't matter. I cancel the level and CS, and the equipment system doesn't want it. For example, if a newbie dies too many times and the data doesn't look good, it's fine. As long as we get a kill, it will be counted as a kill. Protect the newbies "privacy and let them enjoy the game to their heart's content. By then, the number of players will definitely increase explosively. It'll be hard not to be popular!"
Jin jieguang raised his thumb and said,"good, really good!" Manager, listening to your words is better than studying for ten years. No wonder the manager can make so many awesome games. "
Chen Mo waved his hand,"it's nothing. It's just a small experience. It's not worth mentioning."
"Then do you think the S-grade videogame designers at Emperor dynasty entertainment would have thought of this?" jieguang asked.
Chen Zhao's expression became serious.""I don't think they'll think of this. If they really do, then it'll be very bad for me. "
"Yes, they definitely wouldn't have thought of it!" Jin jieguang quickly nodded.

Chapter 304: Chapter 303-rejection
Jin jieguang was excited. Chen Mo's words were like opening a door for him. His vague concept instantly became clear.
"Then, manager, is there any other way to further simplify the game and eliminate the negative feedback?" he continued to ask tentatively.
"There are some others, like ..." Chen Mo suddenly realized something and changed his words,"ahem, I don't think I need to go into detail, you can probably guess it anyway."
Jin jieguang saw the unnatural expression on Chen Zhao's face. Chen Zhao clearly realized that he had said too much.
Jin jieguang didn't dare to ask again and said,"Yeah, manager, you can do it! League of Legends will definitely sell well!"
Chen Mo wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything and turned to leave.
Jin jieguang was very excited. He felt like he was a spy who had entered the enemy camp to obtain information that could change the situation of the war.
He had gained a lot from this trip!
Seeing Chen Mo walk away, Jin jieguang quickly took out his notebook and wrote down all the points Chen Mo had mentioned.
After that, Jin jieguang played a few more games of League of Legends and changed a few Champions. He felt that Chen Mo was right.
Eliminate negative feedback, simplify operations, enjoy the game to the fullest, and turn this game into a paradise for novices!
Jin jieguang went back to the hotel in excitement. Without even eating, he turned on his laptop and began to write the experience report of League of Legends, ready to record all the gains of this trip without missing a word.
After all, many designers in the industry acknowledged that Chen Mo's vision was extremely advanced. Even if he couldn't predict the general direction of the game, he could still use it as a reference!
...
Jin jieguang's professional standards were very high. He wrote from 4 pm to 9 pm, and in five hours, he finished the first draft of the experience report.
Not only was it filled with detailed information about his experience playing League of Legends, it also summarized the highlights of the design. Most importantly, he summarized the few sentences that Chen Mo had said and expanded them appropriately, forming a complete report.
Chen Mo didn't go into details before, he only gave some simple ideas. When Jin jieguang asked if there were any more ways to simplify the game and eliminate negative feedback? Chen Zhao said yes, but he didn't go into detail.
Jin jieguang was certain that Chen Mo had more ways to simplify the game, so he was also racking his brain.
How should he eliminate the negative feedback?
Yes, cancel the death replay so that the players won't feel that they're dead.
Or hide the number of deaths? Hmm, this one's not bad either!
Jin jieguang wrote all of this in the experience report.
He looked at the experience report, and the more he read, the more satisfied he was.
After going downstairs for some supper, Jin jieguang revised and improved the experience report until he was completely satisfied.
The next day, Jin jieguang rushed to the airport without stopping. He couldn't wait to report to Lin chaoxu the results of his spying.
……
Emperor dynasty Entertainment's headquarters.
Lin chaoxu read through Jin jieguang's experience report several times.
Jin jieguang sat on the side, still unable to hide his excitement.
Lin chaoxu touched his chin with his right hand and fell into deep thought.
After a moment, Lin chaoxu said,"when it comes to games, a slight change in one part will affect the whole. Simplifying the content and hiding the data can indeed reduce the difficulty for new players. This will allow more players to enjoy the game. However, it may also create new problems."
Jin jieguang's heart turned cold. Could it be that Lin chaoxu didn't like this report?
"Of course, your report was very well written. It's worthy of praise." Lin chaoxu said,"I'll hand this report to GA and the original author of COG. As for whether he'll accept it or not, I'm not sure. After all, we're just an agent company. In the agreement, we have no right to interfere with the design of the game itself."
"Okay, Mr. Lin!" Jin jieguang quickly nodded.
Clearly, Lin chaoxu was quite satisfied with this report, but first, Emperor dynasty entertainment had no right to change the design of COG. Second, whether the report's "simplified game" and "hidden data" were correct or not had yet to be verified, so Lin chaoxu still had some reservations about some of the contents of the report.
Jin jieguang hesitated and said,"Boss Lin, actually, even if COG doesn't adopt it, we can also make a similar one ..."
Lin chaoxu glanced at him."I know. I don't need you to remind me."
"Yes, yes." Jin jieguang quickly nodded.
"Alright, you've worked hard on this trip to the capital. You've gained a lot. COG is a very important project, so don't let your guard down. Go back and think about how to operate and promote it. " Lin chaoxu said.
Jin jieguang left.
Lin chaoxu looked at the experience report a few more times.
In his opinion, some of the content was very reasonable, but some of it was too radical and risky.
In terms of the game experience of League of Legends, Jin jieguang was very detailed, which was worthy of praise.
However, Lin chaoxu felt that the latter part of the game, where Chen Mo planned to update League of Legends, was a bit risky.
However, because Jin jieguang's experience report was well written, Lin chaoxu couldn't find any faults. He even felt a little convinced.
Lin chaoxu didn't dwell too much on this matter. Although the report seemed very reasonable, Lin chaoxu didn't immediately make a decision. Instead, he got someone to translate it into English and send it to the person in charge of the GA.
Two days later, GA replied, and it was the designer of COG, Clive Lehman, who personally replied, with a paragraph written as such.
"I don't know how your company's game is like, but I know that a good game should be rich and colorful. Extreme complexity is the fundamental factor for a game to be fun to play. Most of the so-called 'simplification' is just a castration of the game. COG will only become more and more complicated in the future, so it's absolutely impossible to simplify it. "
"In particular, your proposal to cancel the scoreboard, not display the number of deaths, cancel the positive and negative CS and equipment system, no experience deduction from deaths, etc. These changes are very absurd to me, so please forgive me for not accepting your suggestions."
Lin chaoxu sighed and closed the document.
Just as he had expected, GA's R D personnel and the original author of COG basically ignored this suggestion. It was obvious that Clive Lehmann thought that he was the designer of COG, while those foreigners on the other side of the ocean were simply making blind suggestions.
Lin chaoxu had encountered this kind of situation many times in the process of working with large foreign factories, so he was not too surprised.
Fortunately, the GA had also reported the current research and development situation, which was smoother than Lin chaoxu had imagined.
After learning that Chen Mo was developing COG's competitive game, League of Legends, and that it was almost complete, Lin chaoxu was also pressuring the GA to speed up the development.
The answer given by the GA was that they would speed up the progress as much as possible and provide an initial version of COG during the spring Festival.
After all, they didn't have a holiday for the Spring Festival over there.

Chapter 305: Chapter 304-crazy promotion
In the experience store, Chen Mo was scrolling through Weibo with a smile on his face.
"Manager?" su Jinyu was curious,"what's so good about you?"
Chen Mo closed Weibo,"fooling an idiot makes me really happy."
Su Jinyu: "???"
Chen Zhao didn't explain further. He stood up and asked,""Have the students who are staying in the capital for the new year bought the tickets for their parents?"
Su Jinyu nodded."Yeah, I just asked. I've bought everything."
"That's good. " Chen Mo said,"I'll be busy before, during, and after the new year. I'll give everyone a heads up and let them get through this stage."
Su Jinyu smiled."Don't worry, manager. After everyone received their year-end bonus and overtime pay, they're all very enthusiastic about work."
Chen Mo was relieved and walked to the first floor of the experience store.
In previous years, Chen Mo would give his employees a break and let them go home, but this year was a little different.
League of Legends was in a critical period of promotion. Chen Mo had a promotion strategy before, mid, and after the new year, and many things were moving forward, so Chen Mo made an unreasonable decision to work overtime this year.
However, there was also compensation. The overtime was voluntary, and it was enough to leave about ten people in the team.
The people who stayed could bring their parents and even relatives to the capital. The company would reimburse the round-trip fare and accommodation fees, and arrange for hotel accommodation.
...
Moreover, some of the employees 'homes were in the capital, so they were fine.
The year-end bonus had just been given, and there was a high amount of overtime compensation for overtime work, so everyone was very enthusiastic about work. The candidates who would stay in the capital for the new year were soon decided.
Chen Mo was still a little worried, so he asked su Jinyu and Lin Xiao to care about everyone, buy some small gifts, and let them know if they had any needs.
To Chen Mo, the entire plan had been set, and there was no room for error.
As for tricking Jin jieguang, it was just something he did in passing. It didn't matter if the Imperial court took the bait or not, it wouldn't affect Chen Mo's follow-up strategy.
……
In the experience store, the popularity of League of Legends had been rising rapidly in the past two days, and it had the tendency to sweep through the entire PC experience area.
He could even see a few female players playing League of Legends, which was unbelievable in games like Warcraft and Diablo.
Although there were only less than 200 players playing back and forth, and they had almost remembered many familiar IDs, everyone was still playing quite happily because they were still at the stage of noobs fighting each other, and they even made a lot of new friends.
This situation wouldn't last for long. After the first version of League of Legends was completed, Chen Mo would put it on Thunderbolt gaming platform. When the recommendation spots were put up, it would definitely attract a large number of players into the game, and the matchmaking system would be able to work.
During this time, Chen Mo had been chatting with many players and had gathered quite a bit of feedback.
There were all sorts of opinions, like 'change the style','change the theme', and so on, which Chen Mo ignored.
On the whole, everyone was pretty satisfied with the game. The main dissatisfaction was that everyone felt that the game wasn't deep enough.
Many people felt that a champion like garen was nothing more than a QWER combo. It would only take seven or eight rounds to understand it. What was the point?
In fact, this was mainly because Chen Mo hadn't updated enough Champions, nor had he started the ranking competition. Some simple heroes were indeed easy to master, but it was also easy for players to become complacent. Therefore, it was better to enrich the game content quickly.
Apart from these questions, everyone thought that League of Legends was a good game. Although it looked ordinary at first glance, it was quite fun to play.
Of course, the evaluation wasn't too high. It was only at the level of "more fun to play with."
Chen Mo had a rough idea of what was going to happen next.
……
On February 7th, nine days before Chinese New Year, League of Legends was officially released on Thunderbolt gaming platform.
This time, Chen Mo used almost all the resources on Thunderbolt gaming platform to promote League of Legends, including the best recommendation spots, pop-up windows, notifications, and all sorts of other methods. The repeated notifications left the players dumbfounded. What was going on? was the system out of control?
Thunderbolt gaming platform was currently the third largest platform in China, with 17 million active users a day. It was an influential platform.
Sending pop-up windows and notifications so frequently would definitely make many players feel disgusted, but Chen Mo didn't mind. As long as he could increase the number of users, it didn't matter if he was scolded by the players.
However, it was impossible for all 17 million active users to become League of Legends players, because many of them were mobile players from games such as Thunderbolt tabletop, Onmyoji, and anipop, so the promotion effect might not be that good.
But to Chen Mo, it didn't matter. He just wanted the whole world to know about League of Legends.
Just as the players were lamenting about why Chen Mo was so crazy about promoting a PC game, they discovered another shocking fact: Chen Mo had other ways of promoting it.
Things like buying video ads, subway ads, and host promotions didn't need to be mentioned. Chen Mo used every method he used to promote other games, and he didn't care about the cost.
As if overnight, the promotional materials for League of Legends could be seen everywhere on all major websites. Even in the bus and subway stations of several big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, huge posters of League of Legends could be seen.
Other than that, there was also the crazy internet cafe promotion.
On the official forum, Chen Mo recruited more than 2000 promoters from different cities, be it prefecture-level or county-level cities, or even some remote County cities.
The job of these promoters was very simple. They just had to find any PC internet cafe in the city and convince the boss to install League of Legends on all the computers in the internet cafe. They would then hold special events in the internet cafe to encourage players to play League of Legends.
Every time they completed an internet cafe, these promoters would receive some monetary rewards. If they were diligent in running errands, they could easily earn 2000 to 3000 Yuan in a few days.
In some of the second-tier cities in China, the average daily salary was 200 yuan. For some people, earning two to three thousand Yuan in a few days was already a very attractive job.

Chapter 306: Internet cafe's promotion strategy
Of course, it wasn't just the promoters who had benefits. The internet cafe itself had its own benefits too.
In the parallel world, even though PC internet cafes were severely suppressed by mobile games and VR internet cafes to a certain extent, there were still quite a number of them, especially in second-tier cities. There were more PC internet cafes than VR internet cafes.
The bosses of these internet cafes were just like Zhuo Yao of the finger fate internet cafe. They were troubled by the decline of PC internet cafes and were in desperate need of a stronger PC game to reignite the passion of gamers for PC games.
Under the persuasion of the promoters and the attraction of the event itself, the owners of the internet cafes were very happy to accept League of Legends and cooperate with the promotion.
There were three main ways for internet cafes to promote their games. One was that the first win in League of Legends in the internet cafe would give a small internet fee discount and a small drink; The other was the online fee top-up activity that was linked to League of Legends. For example, if you top up 200, you would get an additional 30, and you could also get some gold treasure chests in-game. Another way was to attract new players to play League of Legends, and old players could also get a certain discount on their internet fees.
Chen Mo had also invested some money into the internet cafe's promotion, but not much. Thunderbolt gaming platform and Chen Mo's games were quite well known, and the Internet cafe bosses were happy to work with Chen Mo's new games. Moreover, these events would also stimulate the internet cafe's top-ups and spending.
Other than that, Chen Mo also ordered many posters and exhibition boards to be sent to internet cafes all over the country. These posters and display boards were all beautiful original arts of some heroes and some keywords for promotion, such as: Quick matchmaking, server sharing, fair competition, disconnected reconnection, offline freeze, team cooperation, and so on.
These keywords were the most attractive elements of League of Legends concluded in his previous life, and they accurately described the characteristics of the game: It was fast and convenient, fair and just, and required a certain level of skill and teamwork.
In addition, these exhibition boards and posters also had the key slogan: Hero, I will fight for you!
Of course, it was not realistic to spread the materials to all the internet cafes in the country. Even if he only spread a portion of the materials, it would take a lot of time. The reason Chen Mo had been busy promoting these things before the new year was because he was waiting for the Spring Festival holiday.
Apart from that, Chen Mo also introduced some marketing strategies in the game, such as inviting friends to play the game to get a certain amount of gold coins as a reward, the more friends you invite, the more gold coins you get, and the first round of a game with friends would get extra gold coins, etc.
With this kind of overwhelming publicity, League of Legends entered the players 'sight, and it became popular in a few days.
……
...
Zhuo Yao was a little busy at finger fate internet cafe, but she was very happy. Her internet cafe had been bursting with customers for the past few days, and her internet fees had increased significantly. Her business was doing extremely well.
This was because, apart from the promotional content that other ordinary internet cafes could receive, the finger fate internet cafe also had an additional special title: League of Legends's official partner internet cafe.
Zhuo Yao had specially made a large banner and placed it at the entrance of the internet cafe, introducing the special benefits of the official designated internet cafe partners. As expected, it attracted a large number of players.
The so-called officially-appointed cooperative internet cafe for League of Legends was an officially-certified internet cafe. Currently, there were dozens of them in the country, and they were still expanding.
The biggest benefit of collaborating with an internet cafe was that the players could experience some skins when they played League of Legends in the internet cafe.
Every time the players logged in, they would get the chance to experience five to six random hero skins. Of course, they would be cheap skins that could only be experienced in internet cafes.
However, this was already a very attractive gimmick to the players. It also gave Zhuo Yao's fate internet cafe an additional advantage in the competition between PC internet cafes.
"Boss, are there any empty seats?" A voice asked.
Zhuo Yao was busy tidying up the things on the table. She looked up and said in surprise,""Chen Mo? What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to see how the players are doing," Chen Mo smiled."I'm here to see if the promotion is going well."
Zhuo Yao smiled."It's going quite smoothly. It's so smooth that there aren't any empty seats left. Why don't I get you a chair? you can sit here and eat some melon seeds."
"There's no need for that. " Chen Zhao quickly waved his hand."I'm just looking around. Go do your work."
Chen Mo walked around the internet cafe and saw that all the seats were full. Half of the players were playing League of Legends, which made Chen Mo feel like he had traveled back in time.
Currently, the players in the internet cafe were mainly young people.
League of Legends was a game that could be easily spread, so it gathered a large number of players in a short time after it was released.
In other mmorpgs, if the player wanted to pull someone into the trap, this would most likely happen.
"Come and play xxx game. It's really fun. I'll carry you."
"Do I have to level up from the beginning?"
"Yes."
"Then how long would I have to play to catch up with you guys? forget it."
In most mmorpgs, the players were stuck at a very high level. When old players and new players played together, most of them would help them level up and clear Dungeons. It would take a long time for the new players to catch up with the old players.
However, League of Legends was different. It was a very convenient game for players, and the conversation was basically like that.
"Come and play League of Legends. It's so fun. I'll take you."
"Do I have to level up from the beginning?"
"No need. Everyone is Level 1 and have the same attributes. We don't have to spend any money, so it's absolutely fair."
"Then ... Let's try it out."
Moreover, once the players experienced this feeling, they would still choose League of Legends as their first choice in the future. This directly squeezed out the living space of other types of PC games.
There were three college students playing League of Legends in the corner. The one sitting in the middle was obviously the commander, playing with two friends.
"Don't fight, don't fight. If you can't win, go home and replenish your state first, then come back to the team."
"You should take the red BUFF and quickly team up."
"Team, don't walk around, what lead!"
"Group!"
This commander's routine was also very clear. In any case, he was in a brainless team and just did it.
However, after playing for a few days, he already knew that the essence of the game was in a team. It seemed that he was also a talented player.
As they were fighting, the guy on the left suddenly let out an "Aiyo" and said,"I ... I suddenly have a stomach ache!"
The commander was anxious."Hold on a little longer. We're at a critical moment!"
The guy on the left threw his headphones on the table and stood up.""No, no, I really can't take it anymore. I feel like I'm going to come out at any time! I'm going to the toilet, you guys wait for me!"
With that, he ran straight to the toilet.
The commander was speechless."F * ck, this kid is really a lazy donkey. How can he play four against five?" Scamming!"
He turned around and saw Chen Zhao, who was strolling nearby.
"Hey, brother, do you play League of Legends? My brother has a stomachache and is going to the toilet. Can you help him play for a while?"

Chapter 307: Chapter 306-saving the dying and healing the wounded
"He'll be back soon," Chen Zhao said."He should be back soon."
The commander said with a little disappointment,""Hey, do you think I don't know his character? We said one minute, but it won't be over in five minutes. Brother, please help us. You don't have to do anything, just stay with us in the team as usual. "
"Alright," he said. Chen Mo saw that this "big brother" was too kind to refuse, so he sat down.
However, Chen Mo wasn't going to play it seriously, since boosting itself wasn't in line with the rules of competitive games. Chen Mo didn't want his teammates to lose, so he decided to help. In fact, he wanted to play according to the guy's level and hang around until he came back from the toilet.
Chen Zhao looked at the hero."Ox chieftain alista.
Obviously, this man was a rookie, so he was assigned to play as a meat support.
This gave Chen Zhao a headache.
What was the true standard of an ordinary player? He definitely didn't know how to use Q-Flash, nor did he know how to wander around and grab people to start a team fight, but what about Q-W?
Well, he probably wouldn 't.
In that case, wouldn't the hero be useless?
"Forget it. I'll just hang out with this Archer and wait for the guy with the diarrhea to come back."
After Chen Mo started, he obediently followed behind his teammates, turning into a healer.
"Let's stop fighting and wait for that guy to come back. " Chen Zhao suggested.
...
"Alright," he said. The team leader obviously didn't trust Chen Mo, who had just started, and didn't keep asking for team leader, team leader.
The three of them played as usual, while the two at the back pointed at Chen Mo and whispered.
"Why does that figure look so familiar?"
"Yeah, I felt that way when I entered the internet cafe. Isn't that God S? Chen Mo!"
"The more I look, the more it looks like it! Why is S-God back?"
It had been a long time since Chen Mo last came to this internet cafe to play Warcraft. After the experience store moved away, it was even further away from the internet cafe. As a result, many of the experience store's regular customers stopped coming to the internet cafe, and the number of people who knew Chen Mo decreased.
Most of the people who were playing the game didn't know who Chen Mo was, and they were all focused on the game with their headphones on, so no one noticed Chen Mo who had just sneaked in.
However, some old players still noticed.
The two stood up from their seats and carefully observed. They finally confirmed that it was Chen Mo! And he was playing League of Legends!
They quickly realized that this was a very precious opportunity and secretly took out their mobile phones to film.
Zou Zhuo's video of Chen Mo playing Warcraft went viral on the internet, and everyone was curious about how S-God would do in League of Legends.
Chen Mo had his headphones on, so he didn't know anything.
Soon, the other side began to attack. It was clear that everyone's tactics were very simple at the beginning. It was just the blind Princess 'eight strikes. It wasn't just this big brother in the team who had the habit of being crazy in a team, but the other side also had it.
Don't talk to me about minion lines, operations, involvement, vision, this old man's routine is just one sentence, charge to the middle lane brainlessly!
Obviously, in this kind of low-end game, you could not avoid the battle just because you wanted to.
The team leader was also a little flustered."Oh no, the other side is in the team. Nu Nu has been stopped!"
Chen Mo's team consisted of lava beast, Twisted Fate, Nu Nu, bull head and lucky sister. The leader of the team played cards, which suited his commanding style.
The five of them swarmed forward and stopped Nu Nu near the middle lane. Chen Zhao's lava beast didn't even think and used a big move to save him. Although it smashed two of the enemy's front rows, it also put itself in danger.
The leader of the team wanted to help, but in the chaos, he took out a blue card and threw it perfunctorily. In the end, Annie, who was covered in white light, rushed over. It was obvious that she was going to hit the bear with her card.
"We're finished, we're finished!"
After this round of suffocating Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather, the Big Brother in the group panicked.
Right now, the two front-row players were surrounded. He had just thrown his card out and was targeted by Annie. As for his bottom lane, lucky Archer hadn't arrived yet. The Bulls were nearby, but what could a support do?
Just as Annie was about to catch up to Twisted Fate and cast a stunning skill, the Minotaur Chieftain suddenly rushed over and used his W-skill to push her into the enemy crowd. Then, he activated his ulti and walked into the crowd, and used his Q-skill to smash three people!
"Wow, awesome! You're awesome!" The Big Brother in the group couldn't help but shout. This smash had solved the urgent problem.
Of course, it was mainly because the other side was more headstrong. They swarmed up to kill Nu Nu and the stone man, which gave Chen Zhao three chances to kill them.
The stone golems charged through the crowd, and sister good luck, who had rushed over, took advantage of the time to cast her big move. The health of all the other party members instantly plummeted.
With the three tanks in front, Twisted Fate and sister good luck were in a good position to deal damage. The situation was reversed in an instant.
Some of the opponents wanted to fight, and some wanted to retreat. The battle was chaotic. In the fierce collision, although Chen Zhao's back row was also threatened, overall, the victory was certain.
Chen Mo cursed in his heart. He had subconsciously made a King's play when he saw the situation getting dangerous, which seemed to go against his original intentions ...
If this team battle accidentally ended up with a 0 for 5, then the game might be over.
At this moment, the leader in the group shouted,"be careful of the sword Saint!" Be careful of the sword Saint!"
The Bladesman, who had been hiding in the opponent's jungle, finally appeared. At this moment when all the players were low on blood, it was simply the best time for the Bladesman to harvest.
Although they had to be careful of the sword Saint, different people had different reactions. The stone man still wanted to chase the opponent's hero with low health, so he threw a snowball at the sword Saint. However, the sword Saint had activated the Highlander and was immune to the speed reduction effect, so the snowball was meaningless.
Seeing the sword Saint rushing towards him, the leader of the group panicked and turned to run.
At this moment, the ox chieftain rushed forward!
The boss in the team was secretly happy and stopped in his tracks for a moment. However, the moment the Tauren W-skill was released, it was unknown if it was because he misjudged Blademaster's speed or what, but Blademaster was pushed to the side of the boss in the team!
The brother in the group: "...!!!"
He was in a hurry to get a yellow card, but he soon died under the Blademaster's Mad dog-like attack.
Obviously, the Grand Swordmaster knew how to play. After killing Twisted Fate, he immediately charged towards sister lucky and cut her down.
In the end, it was a four for four. Chen Zhao's Minotaur escaped with little health left, and the Blademaster also chose to return to the city after searching for him.
"I'm sorry. I wanted to push this Sword Saint away, but he ran too fast." Chen Zhao said.
"It's fine, it's fine," the leader said helplessly."You played pretty well, brother."
Although the ending was a little awkward, at least Tauren's first wave of operation was quite eye-catching. Otherwise, this team fight would have been defeated long ago. Therefore, the Big Brother in the team didn't say anything.
The guy who went to the toilet also came back. Chen Mo returned the computer to him and left, hiding his achievements and fame.
However, the two men behind him had captured the entire process.
After Chen Zhao left, the two brothers finally laughed.
"Hahahaha, s-God's way of saving the dying and healing the injured is amazing. No, I have to post this online!"

Chapter 308: Chapter 307 evaluation
On the official forum of League of Legends, a new post caused a heated discussion.
The title of the post was,"live footage of Chen Mo playing League of Legends, Minotaur chief saving the dying and defrauding his teammates!"
Seeing this post, everyone's first reaction was disbelief. After all, Chen Mo was the best Warcraft player in the country. He beat up all the top players in China and was even nicknamed "muscle-craser." How could someone like him cheat his teammates in League of Legends?
In the end, after watching the video, he realized that he had really screwed his teammates over!
"Hahaha, that's amazing. What's going on with S-God? why did he secretly go to an internet cafe to play games? he was even photographed!"
"It's indeed Chen Zhao from the back."
"I'm dying of laughter. I thought that this guy was good at playing the game, but the Blademaster was pushed to the side of his own card. It was so funny!"
"He's really an ox that saves the dying and helps the wounded! I thought I was the only one who would make such a mistake!"
"No, this should be considered a great assist! The best sixth person!"
"I can't believe that Chen Mo can't play League of Legends well either. S-God is a fraud, hahahaha!"
"I feel like if I play with this bull, I can get a 5 for 0 in this teamfight!"
"It makes me want to play League of Legends too. I think I can beat S-God!"
"I want to go play too! I can finally get back what I lost in Warcraft in League of Legends!"
...
Not only did the video become a hot topic among the players of League of Legends, but players of other games also knew about it.
Chen Mo had another nickname: [Rescue the dying and heal the wounded, salent.
……
In the experience store.
Chen Mo was speechless as he watched the video.
F * ck, I'm just ensuring the fairness of the game. How is this saving the dying and healing the injured?
But at this time, it was hard to explain, so he thought it was better to forget it. This video was also a hot topic, and it was equivalent to promoting League of Legends.
So far, the promotion of League of Legends had been very successful.
With the gaming platform's promotion, internet advertisements, internet cafes, and so on, League of Legends 'popularity rose to a very high level, sweeping through Chen Mo's targeted player base like a wave.
Who was the target group of players for League of Legends?
The main target was the teenagers between the ages of 12 to 30, both in and out of school.
These people were passionate about online games, but facing the pressure of school and work, most of them didn't have much time. At the same time, they preferred games that tested their control.
One of the fatal problems of traditional mmorpgs was that they cost a lot of time to play, and some of them even cost a lot of money. Players between the ages of 12 to 30 were either still in school or working. They didn't have that much time to play games.
These players 'financial ability was generally relatively weak, and many of them were free players. Games like League of Legends, which didn't cost money, guaranteed fairness, and allowed players to show off their skills, suited them very well.
Of course, there were also some rich and idle college dogs, but those people were in the minority. Even if they were University noobs, League of Legends was still attractive to them.
Therefore, Chen Mo's strategy was targeted at internet cafes and university campuses. This was especially true for PC internet cafes, which were perfect for promoting League of Legends.
……
On the 10th of February, three days after League of Legends was released, Chen Mo released the statistics for the first day.
The number of players who logged in on the first day reached 390000, and the next day's game retention reached an insane 73%.
Of course, 390000 didn't seem like a scary number in terms of Thunderbolt gaming platform's active users. However, most of Thunderbolt gaming platform's players were mobile gamers (that was the case for the entire gaming market), and they liked games like Onmyoji and anipop. The core PC players didn't have an advantage.
However, this number was already very terrifying.
Diablo had only sold 280000 copies in the first week, and League of Legends didn't have a grand opening cinematics or a fascinating plot yet. It wasn't easy to attract so many players with just the crazy promotion and free games.
Moreover, League of Legends was a completely new game genre. Many players were confused after reading the game description and did not have much motivation to download it on their PC. Therefore, it was a great success to get this number.
This number of players was enough to support the game's matchmaking system, ensuring that players of similar standards were matched together to play the game, and trying to ensure that all players 'winning rate was around 50%.
Although it was stupid to guarantee a 50% win rate at times, it also guaranteed the gaming experience of most players to the maximum.
Emperor dynasty entertainment and fantasy gaming platform couldn't sit still after Chen Mo announced the numbers.
As professional video game distributors, they knew what this number meant. It meant that League of Legends had the potential to become a super popular game. This number was already on par with some of the classic dominating games, or even slightly better.
The only good news for Emperor dynasty and divine fantasy was that the players didn't think too highly of League of Legends.
The current rating for League of Legends was around 8.4. It didn't seem low, but the ratings for Warcraft and Diablo had never dropped below 9 when they were released.
From the player reviews, the game didn't seem to be a 'godly' piece of work.
Most of the players 'comments were "not bad,""I can play it,""new way of playing it," and there were not many brainless comments. Obviously, the gimmick of "a completely free and fair competition game" played a key role in attracting players and pulling up the ratings.
There were also some players who were disappointed in the game, including some of Chen Mo's core players.
"I feel that the style is too cartoonish. There's no sense of immersion."
"Chen Zhao has regressed, right? There's no story mode, not even an opening cinematics?"
"Looking at the development time, I feel like Chen Mo is up to something again. The old players of Warcraft aren't used to this game, maybe the less skilled players will like it."
"I thought Chen Mo would make an official COG, but isn't it a little too different from a cog? He changed Chen Mo's style and his coolness has dropped by a lot!"
These reviews gave Emperor dynasty entertainment a glimmer of hope to turn the tables.
If League of Legends could achieve such a terrifying result, what would happen to COG?

Chapter 309: The COG test
Under Emperor dynasty Entertainment's frantic urging, the date of COG's testing was brought forward again to February 13th, the year before.
The person in charge of GA expressed that this was already a very risky decision, because the current COG was not perfect yet. At least in the eyes of the designer, Clive Lehman, it was a very stupid decision to bring forward the closed beta.
What's the point of taking the test a week earlier?
Clive Larman and GA really wanted to reject Emperor dynasty Entertainment's proposal because they felt that a Chinese company's competitive game would be released a week or two earlier than them, and that was nothing.
COG was going to be targeted at the global market. As for League of Legends, which was launched by that Chinese company? At most, he would only be able to cause a ruckus in that small piece of land in China.
However, Emperor dynasty entertainment was very determined, and the GA couldn't completely ignore the huge Chinese market, so they brought the testing date forward in the end.
The reason it was set on the awkward 13th of February was that Chen Mo had already spread the news that there would be special Valentine's Day events on the 14th of February and the week after that.
This included introducing limited skins for Valentine's Day, limited couple profile pictures, and special matching missions.
Obviously, Emperor dynasty entertainment didn't want to clash with League of Legends at such a critical time. After all, the Valentine's Day event was prepared. For players, the Valentine's Day event was only held once a year, and cog...It didn't matter if they played it a few days later.
If the test were to be conducted on February 14th, the relevant data would most likely be squeezed out.
Lin chaoxu's sharp intuition told him that Chen Zhao came prepared. If he still couldn't think of a solution, the situation would become very bad.
It all depended on the feedback from the players after COG was launched.
……
...
On February 13th, COG (Battle of the Gods) began its closed beta. Emperor dynasty entertainment promoted it through various channels, even using some of fantasy gaming platform's channel resources.
Although the success of COG was uncertain, the smooth promotion of League of Legends had boosted Lin chaoxu's confidence in this brand new game model, so he had invested a lot of marketing resources for a game in the testing stage.
Even though many of the original players of COG were Chen Mo's die-hard fans, they still preferred to try it out.
Moreover, with Emperor dynasty Entertainment's promotion, there were many other players coming in, and a large portion of them had played League of Legends.
After all, among the games that were released before the new year, these two were the only ones that were more interesting and talked about, so it was impossible to avoid them even if they wanted to.
The beta version of COG and the map in Warcraft had the same core gameplay, system, and hero skills. There weren't many changes.
In his opinion, some of the original designs of COG were quite perfect, especially among the core players. The art style and operation mode of COG were some key elements that they liked. If he changed it rashly, it would mean giving up on these core players, which was not worth it.
The main difference between the closed beta version and the original map was the packaging and the derivative games.
COG did not get the copyright to the hero, so they could only redo all the models. They had also made corresponding adjustments to the name to avoid legal risks.
After all, GA was a big company, and they were afraid of being extorted.
For example, Death Knights were renamed Dark Knights, dark Rangers were renamed shadow Rangers, and forest guardians were renamed elven prophets.
There were also classes like Paladins, which only had their models changed but not their names. Paladins were a classic class in Western fantasy, so there was no copyright to them.
These changes might seem like imitations to older players of COG, but it wasn't important. Clive Lehmann believed that the game wouldn't be restricted to only players who had played Warcraft before, and the main players wouldn't feel that the models were out of place.
After all, it was a European and American company, GA's art design was very good at Western fantasy themes, the scenes and hero models were very authentic, so the sense of imitation was not particularly strong.
There were some minor changes in the map elements and hero skills, but there were no major changes.
Other than that, there were also some derivative games and profit models.
Similar to League of Legends, COG also had a friend system, a matchmaking system, and a shopping center system. In terms of profit model, COG was also free of charge for all heroes and charged for skins, but there were two things that were different from League of Legends: Card collection and unboxing.
COG had created a set of card modes, which was equivalent to an additional skill enhancement system. Each hero could wear a card set (containing four cards) to enhance the hero's four skills.
For example, the dark arrow of the dark Ranger would add additional damage, and the last hit would summon little skeletons. There were three different cards available for dark arrow. They were: increase damage, increase skeleton's HP, and increase skeleton's duration. Players could choose one of them to add to their deck.
Clive Ramon's idea was that this card mode would increase the diversity of the game, allowing players to freely choose their favorite card sets. Of course, it was also to increase profits.
The GA company didn't approve of a model that solely relied on skins to make money. After all, this model was too risky, and it was completely uncontrollable whether players would buy skins or not, which couldn't guarantee the revenue of the game.
Unless COG became popular all over the world, but in the eyes of the GA, this idea was somewhat unrealistic.
The GA's suggestion was to either set up a threshold to buy out, or to add a charging system linked to the attribute. After much consideration, Clive Ramon chose the latter because he felt that the cut-off fee would cost him more players.
As for the way to obtain the cards and skins, it was very 'European': The treasure chests were opened.
Different from the unboxing in League of Legends, everything in COG was obtained by unboxing, and couldn't be bought directly.
Players could earn gold coins through the game, and they could earn game coins by topping up. These two types of currency would open different chests. The gold chest would open different cards and card pieces, while the in-game coin chest would open skins and cards.
Of course, the speed at which the players obtained gold coins was strictly controlled, and the amount of gold coins required to open the chests would increase every week. It was definitely impossible for players to obtain all the card sets in the early stages through the gold treasure chest. If they wanted to form a more complete card set, they would need to top up.
Moreover, it depended on the player's face what would be opened after the top-up, and it was possible to open a hero card that one did not know how to play at all.
However, unboxing was still quite popular in the European and American market, and they had some experience with successful games in this area, so GA and Clive Lehmann didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.

Chapter 310: Holiday arrangements
On the 13th of February, COG began its testing.
This beta test didn't have any deletion of files. Emperor dynasty entertainment had also launched some activities for beta players, such as free skins and cards.
After all, the marketing strategy of distributors these days was similar. If others gave it to you but you didn 't, the players would definitely scold you for being stingy.
After the beta started, the staff in charge of the operation of COG at Emperor dynasty entertainment all stared nervously at the data and player comments.
With Emperor dynasty Entertainment's distribution channels, the number of active players and first-day retention of COG shouldn't be too bad. Many people were hoping that it would get better numbers than League of Legends, giving Chen Mo a head-on blow.
However, Jin jieguang, the Head of Operations for the COG project, was a little worried.
He had played League of Legends before, and Chen Mo's words still echoed in his mind. Compared to League of Legends, COG was a more complicated game. After the players had played the simplified version of the game, would they be able to get into the game smoothly?
Everything would only be known when the data came out.
After the beta started, players kept coming in.
There were more and more comments.
To Jin jieguang's surprise, everyone's comments seemed to be good.
Many of them were five-star ratings, which raised the overall rating of COG to 8.8, which had already exceeded the rating of League of Legends.
He randomly picked a few popular high star reviews and they were all full of praise.
...
"Very good! It's almost a perfect replication of the original game of COG. I killed the players on the other side until they were Level 3 and could only tremble under the tower. It's so cool!"
"I told you that this jungle is more fun. You can go wherever you want. And I feel that there are so many vegetables here. Many of them can't even make up for it. You can just kill them. It's so fun!"
"I think this is the true essence of COG. As for a certain Alliance ... They can't do it even if they have the ability. It's boring."
"I miss the dark Ranger so much! Controlling a bunch of skeletons and monsters to sweep the jungle, whoever came would be killed! It's a pity that the name and model have been changed. It's a pity that we didn't get the copyright. "
"Not bad, it's quite fun. It's very suitable for an RTS player like me. It's simplified and emphasizes more on teamwork. It's great!"
"What a great drawing style! This kind of game should be played with the original Western fantasy. I can't play the cartoon style of a certain Alliance!"
There were also some bad reviews, but there weren't many of them. In Jin jieguang's opinion, many of the bad reviews were brainless abuse, such as the game experience was not good, too many people were killed, and so on, which had no reference value.
"Did Chen Zhao make a mistake? COG's approach was the right one? Is it not that important to simplify the game content?" Jin jieguang couldn't help but feel puzzled.
He was still a little uncertain, but from the current number of active players and player reviews, COG was doing very well under Emperor dynasty Entertainment's promotion. Although it was hard to say for sure before the specific data came out, most people felt that it would be a game that could go head to head with League of Legends.
……
Chen Mo was unmoved by the release of COG.
He was in the studio making arrangements for the Valentine's Day event of League of Legends and the update of the new version.
The list of people to stay in the imperial capital had been decided. There were ten people in total, including Chen Mo, enough to ensure the Valentine's Day event and the update would go smoothly.
In fact, the new version of League of Legends was almost complete. There wasn't much content, just five Champions, a introductory cinematic, and a ranked mode, but to Chen Mo, the game was only complete when it had these.
According to the original plan, a new skin would be released during the Valentine's Day event on February 14th[Heart Hunter] Vayne also had a special event: Within a week from February 14th to February 20th, forming a team to complete a certain number of games every day will earn gold coins, avatars, and 30 days of experience skins.
In other words, as long as the player logged in for seven days to form a party for combat, they would definitely receive a special Valentine's Day profile picture box and a 30-day Vayne experience card. At the same time, the player could upgrade the experience card to a permanent skin by compensating the price difference of 60% of the original price.
On February 16th, the first day of the Lunar New Year, League of Legends would have a version update.
At the same time, on the 21st and 22nd, there would be battle revelry. From 19 to 23 O' clock, all players who logged in would enjoy double gold coins and double experience. At the same time, every player who won a game would have a 3% chance of receiving a random permanent skin. The probability of this would be increased by 0.5% for every additional partner.
In other words, during this period, as long as players played the game and won, they would have a 5% chance of getting a random permanent skin.
Chen Mo had arranged this set of moves long before League of Legends was released, in order to make the most of the break during the spring Festival holiday and give League of Legends a big jump.
Other than Chen Mo, there were nine people left in the studio. Qian Kun, Zheng Hongxi, and Zhao Yunting were the core members. The other six were ordinary employees.
Four of the ordinary employees were locals of the capital, while the others had brought their parents to the capital and settled them in a hotel.
Chen Mo specifically reminded him of a few things to take note of before and after the spring Festival.
After the meeting, Zhao Yunting sneaked over to Chen Mo and said,""Well, manager, I'd like to take a day off tomorrow ..."
"Eh? Tomorrow?" Chen Zhao didn't react for a moment.
Zhao Yunting nodded."That's right. Isn't it a holiday tomorrow?"
"Oh, oh, right." Chen Zhao had almost forgotten."Sure, no problem. Have fun."
"Thank you, manager!" Zhao Yunting left happily.
"Manager, tomorrow ..." Zheng Hongxi also ran over and said.
"No problem." Chen Mo nodded."I'll give you a day off tomorrow."
"Thank you, manager!" Zheng Hongxi also left happily.
"It's Valentine's Day tomorrow," Chen Zhao asked."Who else is celebrating?" If there's a need for a holiday, then take it. "
"Thank you, manager!" Most of the people cheered.
In the end, out of the nine employees in the experience store, only Qian Kun and another guy didn't have to celebrate.
"Good luck!" Chen Mo patted Qian Kun's shoulder,"I'll leave the update to you two."
"I understand, manager!" Qian Kun said with a solemn expression,"I will do my best as a single dog!"
Chen Mo nodded. Sure enough, Qian Kun was the most reliable person in critical moments!
Qian Kun suddenly thought of something and asked,""Manager, I don't think you have any festivals to celebrate, right?"
...Get out!

Chapter 311: Chapter 310-possessed by the God of bad luck
It was February 14th, the day of suffering for single people.
A whole week after League of Legends was released, it had maintained a strong growth momentum, and the daily active players had successfully broken the one million mark.
With multiple marketing strategies, League of Legends had expanded to more and more players who had never touched RTS games or cogs. Besides, internet cafe promotions and friend invitations had become important ways to attract new players.
On the third day after going online, Chen Mo released the events related to the Valentine's Day event on the in-game event page, which the players couldn't wait to see.
The main selling point of this Valentine's Day event was still the [Heart Hunter] Vayne skin. If they missed this week's event, they would have to wait until next year to buy this skin.
In addition, there were also corresponding active tasks. When forming a team to complete a game, they would receive gold coins, head portrait boxes, experience cards, and other rewards. These were all important means to stimulate the further expansion of the player group.
It could be imagined that if girls played League of Legends, their boyfriends would have a high chance of being led into the pit. If the boys played League of Legends, their girlfriends would also have a small chance of being tricked.
Many players logged into the game to participate in activities on Valentine's Day. They could even occasionally meet couples in major internet cafes.
……
At Emperor dynasty Entertainment's headquarters, Jin jieguang's face was dark. It wasn't because he was single, but because the first day statistics of COG were released after the open beta testing yesterday.
Although the game received a lot of good reviews after it was released, with a rating of about 8.8, which gave Jin jieguang some hope, the statistics on the first day poured a bucket of cold water on him.
There were 330000 players who logged in on the first day, but only 43% remained on the next day.
If it was a mobile game, the tomorrow's retention rate would be pretty good. However, this was a PC game, and a free competitive game at that. The terrible tomorrow's retention rate could only be described with one word: Fail.
...
With such a day-to-day retention rate, it was difficult to maintain the fairness of the matchmaking system, let alone become popular. Even with Emperor dynasty Entertainment's strong marketing capabilities, it was difficult to promote the game.
The data was a little too unsightly, so much so that Jin jieguang didn't know how to explain it to Lin chaoxu.
Ads by Pubfuture
However, Jin jieguang also had a vague feeling that one of the important reasons why COG was more like an RTS game compared to League of Legends was that it was more like an RTS game. However, Jin jieguang couldn't be sure without the corresponding data.
Lin chaoxu was relatively calm after learning about this number. He asked Jin jieguang to check the background data to see which game node had the most players lost. At the same time, he would make a detailed survey and send it to the players who had lost their jobs in COG to do a detailed survey.
……
While Emperor dynasty entertainment was busy collecting feedback on their cogs, the Valentine's Day event in League of Legends continued to be popular.
On Valentine's Day, there were 330000 people online at the same time in League of Legends. Considering that it was the first day of Valentine's Day, many couples were busy with other things, and there was still room for this number to increase.
However, this number was enough to highlight the popularity of the game.
In the experience store.
Chen Zhao was hesitating.
There was a new item on the virtual screen of the bracelet: Chen Mo had gotten the good luck generator a few days ago. There were ten of them in total, and they were extremely powerful.
[Good luck generator: a magical device that can bring you good luck in most situations. After use, there is a 50% chance of obtaining good or bad luck. Lasts for one day. [If you obtain bad luck, you can turn it into good luck by completing the mission.]
From the description of the device, it felt like a device that would definitely make a profit.
Chen Mo had already tried it once before, and he got good luck immediately after using the good luck generator. Chen Mo "coincidentally" opened his phone to check Weibo and "coincidentally" saw Jin jieguang's post in the discovery section, and "coincidentally" saw his verification information and the selfie he took at the experience store.
Otherwise, Chen Mo wouldn't have gone to the first floor of the experience store to trick him.
Chen Mo wanted to try it again after the first time, but it had a cooldown time and couldn't be used too often.
Today was February 14th, and the cool down time of the item was over.
"Ah, if only this was a peach blossom luck generator. After using it, a cold Heavenly Queen with the surname Zhang would come knocking on your door after drinking too much, or an unknown beauty with the surname Wu would suddenly send you a bunch of art photos and selfies. " Chen Zhao said emotionally.
Putting away those unrealistic fantasies, Chen Zhao used another good luck generator.
However, this time, the good luck icon that looked very comfortable did not appear. After the smoke effect, a bad luck icon that said "possessed by the God of bad luck" appeared.
[Possessed by jinx: your luck has dropped to a negative number. It's a piece of cake for you to eat instant noodles without seasoning packets.]
Ads by Pubfuture
"F * ck!"
Chen Mo was dumbfounded. It was really a 50% chance. He was lucky last time and now he was unlucky this time?
Moreover, if eating instant noodles without seasoning packets was considered a small matter, then what would be a medium matter?
Chen Mo panicked a little. It wouldn't have been a big deal if it was some other time, he could've just stayed at home and choked on his saliva or fell on the ground in the experience store, but this was a crucial time for League of Legends!
What if there was a serious BUG in the game? Was there some strange fluctuation in the server? Or perhaps some players would kill their teammates and cause big news?
This was completely unacceptable to Chen Zhao!
"Didn't you say that you could turn your luck around by completing missions? where are the missions?"
Chen Mo quickly looked at the screen on his bracelet and saw that a mission had appeared behind the [possession by jinx] icon.
[System mission (1/5): arrive at the hall on the first floor of the experience store. [Time limit: 20 minutes]
"Just this? Isn't this too simple?" Chen Mo let out a long breath,"I knew it, the system still loves me. How could it trick me?"
Chen Mo walked out of his office and pushed the door open.
"Oh," "Kada."
The door could not be pushed open.
Chen Mo: "???"
What the f * ck was this?
Chen Mo's studio was in the same area as his living quarters, with a security door next to the experience store.
The anti-theft door was a high-tech product that could be unlocked with a password and fingerprint. Chen Mo didn't think much about it when he installed it. He just thought it looked good and had no problems with it after using it for so long.
But today, he couldn't open it.
The door was supposed to be unlocked with a fingerprint and password on the outside, but there was a special door button on the inside. However, the door button seemed to be broken at the right time, and there was no response after pressing it.
F * ck, it's starting already?

Chapter 312: Finally out
Chen Mo pressed the button again, but it didn't work!
Obviously, under the effect of [possession by jinx, the door had some unknown malfunction, and the door-opening button had completely failed.
Chen Zhao had no choice. He took out his phone and was about to call Qian Kun.
In the end, her hand slipped, and the phone fell to the ground.
"F * ck!"
Luckily, Chen Mo was quick to react and picked up the phone that had almost fallen to the ground.
"Phew, luckily I took a lot of reaction speed serums and hand speed potions. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable." Chen Zhao let out a long breath.
Normally, a phone falling from this height would only break the glass screen, and there wouldn't be any serious problems.
However, Chen Zhao was currently possessed by the God of misfortune. If he really dropped it, the entire phone might be smashed to pieces. Chen Zhao didn't dare to take the risk.
After calming himself down, Chen Mo grabbed his phone tightly and called Qian Kun.
"Beep ... Hello, the number you have dialed is currently busy, please try again later. Sorry,the number……"
Chen Zhao hung up and called again.
He called three times in a row, but all of them were busy.
...
Chen Zhao was speechless.
He then called the others, but they were either busy or not picked up. Even the front desk's phone couldn't be reached.
He sent messages one by one, but no one replied.
"Holy sh * t, that works too?"
Chen Mo was helpless. He had five missions to complete and he was stuck on the first one.
Chen Mo sent a message in the Company Group,""Who's in the experience store? Come and save me!"
[What's the matter, manager?] su Jinyu replied quickly.
Chen Mo thought,'...Can you contact the other people in the experience store? The door to my studio is broken and I'm locked inside. "
Su Jinyu chuckled.
Chen Zhao was speechless.
[Aren't Qian Kun and the others still in the experience store?]
"I can't get in touch with him," Chen Zhao said."I don't know what he's doing."
"It's nothing," su Jinyu replied."Manager, wait a moment. I'll make a call and ask."
There was no letter again.
Su Jinyu knew about it, but she couldn't do anything about it. She had already gone home, so she couldn't possibly take the high-speed rail back.
Chen Zhao shouted at the top of his voice,"is anyone there?" Quickly come and save me!"
He shouted several times, but no one answered. Chen Mo's studio was indeed soundproof. No one could hear anything from the outside after the door was closed.
If other people were working hard, they wouldn't be able to hear it.
Chen Mo was in despair. The [possession by jinx] status had blocked the phones of all the people in the experience store who could come to his rescue, and he couldn't get through to them.
Seeing that 5 minutes of the 20-minute time limit had passed, Chen Zhao couldn't sit still anymore.
He made a few more calls, but still, no one picked up!
Chen Mo suddenly had an idea. Yes, order takeaway! Get the delivery guy to open the door for me!
Without further ado, Chen Mo opened what to eat and ordered a cup of milk tea from the nearest milk tea shop.
A minute later, the milk tea shop called.
"Hello, our business here is too busy. The line is already long enough to reach the main street. This order may have to be delivered 20 minutes later. Is that okay?"
"...Then forget it," Chen Zhao said."Thank you."
What the hell?
The milk tea shop was so popular that the people in line formed a long line on the street? Are you F * cking kidding me? This was the first time he had heard that a milk tea shop had to wait 20 minutes to make milk tea!
It'll be too late if I wait for you to deliver it in 20 minutes!
This was clearly the work of a jinx!
Without a doubt, the result would be the same if he ordered take-out from other stores!
Just as Chen Mo was on the verge of despair, su Jinyu's call came.
"Hello? Manager, I called everyone just now, but it's too strange. No one picked up, not even the front desk." In the end, I had no choice but to call the store next to the experience store and have the old man open the door for you. "
Chen Zhao was overjoyed,'great, goldfish, you're the best! I'll give you a raise next year! When will that old man arrive?"
"I don't know," su Jinyu replied."He said he'll be there immediately. I don't know where he is now."
Chen Mo had a bad feeling."Uh, I won't ask you how you got the number. I just want to ask, what did you tell the boss?"
"Just tell me to open the door for you," su Jinyu said.
Give me the phone number of the convenience store.
"Owwwwuuu." A moment later, su Jinyu replied,"I've sent a message, manager."
"Okay, goldfish, you've been a great help. I still have something to do, so I'll hang up first. " Chen Zhao quickly hung up.
Looking at the time, there were only ten minutes left. Chen Mo quickly dialed the store's number.
"Crooked?" An old man's voice came from the phone.
Chen Mo thought to himself,"I knew it." Even though su Jinyu told the old man to open the door, the old man would definitely encounter new obstacles in his current state. For example ... A group of customers suddenly came to the convenience store.
"Hello, Sir," Chen Mo said,"I'm the owner of this gaming experience Store. I accidentally got locked inside, come help me ..."
The old man said,"there are so many guests here. I can't leave in peace. Let's wait for another five minutes, okay?"
"Sir," Chen Zhao said."Come over now. I'll give you 500."
The old man was amused,"you're a liar!" I knew it, how could a normal pervert be locked in the mud by himself, so I ended up playing a prank here!"
The call ended.
F * ck! Chen Mo thought.
Chen Mo typed on his phone at breathtakingly fast speed and found the comms account, then sent a friend request.
"Grandpa, hurry up!" Chen Zhao was speechless when he saw that there were only seven minutes left.
The friend request was accepted. As expected, small shops like this often needed to scan the code to pay, so the chat account would often pop up with a notification. The grandpa added the friend request when he saw it.
Chen Zhao immediately transferred 500 yuan and called the old man again.
"Crooked?" The grandpa picked up the phone again.
Chen Zhao said,"uncle, I've transferred you the 500 yuan. Open the door for me!" I'm not lying to you!"
The old man was dumbfounded."I'm talking about this young man. He really transferred the money ..."
Chen Zhao was going crazy."Sir, there's no time. Hurry up!" Come to the fourth floor of the experience store right now! I'm going to die!"
"Alright, wait a moment," the old man finally said.
After hanging up, Chen Zhao was so anxious that he wanted to scratch the wall.
After about three minutes, the old man finally arrived. Chen Zhao shouted from the door,""My Lord, this way, this way! The password for this door is 14890, hurry up!"
The old man's legs were quite agile. He came to the door and entered the password. Finally, the door opened.
"Thank you, sir!"
Chen Zhao didn't have time to say anything else. He just jogged to the elevator.

Chapter 313: The harsh conditions
As soon as he reached the elevator, Chen Zhao suddenly realized a serious problem.
No, I can't take the elevator!
If the elevator suddenly broke down and got stuck, it would take a long time for the rescue team to arrive. It would be too late.
Chen Zhao slammed on the brakes and ran for the fire escape.
Fortunately, nothing else happened when they went down the stairs to the first floor, except for two times when they slipped and almost fell down the stairs.
Chen Mo jogged all the way to the hall on the first floor of the experience store, attracting a lot of attention. Everyone was still wondering what was wrong with the manager today, why was he so agitated?
Could it be ... That she choked on too much dog food?
Chen Mo looked at the time on his bracelet. Luckily, he completed the mission in the last 30 seconds.
[System mission (1/5): arrive at the hall on the first floor of the experience store. [Completed]
[System mission (2/5): complete a match in League of Legends. [Time limit: 1 hour]
Chen Zhao was stunned. Just like that? Just play a game? It didn't seem to be difficult.
Unless there was a sudden blackout in the experience store? The computer crashed? The mouse malfunctioned? Was there an electrical leakage on the keyboard?
Probably not, since the computers and mice in Chen Mo's Experience Store were of good quality. As for the power outage or internet disconnection ... That would be too much, right?
...
"Manager, do you want anything to drink?" the receptionist asked.
Chen Zhao said unhappily," I called you so many times just now, why didn't you pick up?"
The front desk girl was stunned,"ah? There wasn't a call just now?"
Chen Zhao was speechless.
It seemed like jinx was playing tricks on him. Anyway, Chen Zhao didn't plan to pursue it. He had completed the first mission. It was time for the second.
However, who was he going to play with?
As Chen Mo was thinking, someone shouted at the door,""Manager!"
Chen Mo raised his head and saw Jia Peng, Chang xiuya, and a girl he had never seen before walking into the experience store.
"What?" Chen Zhao was stunned."You guys aren't home yet?"
"No," Jia Peng replied,"it's just the holidays today. We're all on tomorrow's train, so we came to the experience store for a while."
"The people who came to the experience store today are all true fans." Chen Zhao said emotionally.
"Manager," Chang xiuya introduced,"this girl is our junior. Her name is li jingsi. She's in her third year." Jingsi, this is the manager I've always told you about, Chen Zhao. "
Li jingsi was slightly taller than Chang xiuya, about 1.67 meters. Her short hair was neat, but she had a unique cuteness to her. Li jingsi's looks were very good, and she was probably the same type as Wen Lingwei, the type that would attract attention wherever she went. However, unlike Wen Lingwei, li jingsi gave off a very gentle vibe, not the least bit overbearing.
Moreover, li jingsi's smile was very relaxed. She was definitely a healer.
Li jingsi smiled and nodded at Chen Zhao.""I've long heard of your great name. "
Chen Mo also nodded."Welcome, welcome. Jia Peng, you two have brought me new customers. Thank you so much. I should give you a Lifetime Achievement Award."
"Mr. Manager," Jia Peng said,"don't give me all those fake stuff. Giving me an SSR set in Onmyoji is more practical than anything else."
Li jingsi kept observing Chen Zhao. It wasn't the kind of gaze that was impolite or aggressive. It was more of a curious gaze.
Chen Zhao didn't mind. After all, he should be more worried about The Jinx.
Jia Peng looked at the time and said,"let's go in." By the way, manager, do you want to play a few rounds with us? I can't take care of two girls by myself ..."
Chen Mo was speechless, aren't you going to sit in the lobby and chat? You guys came to the experience store on a day like this just to play games?"
Jia Peng coughed dryly,"manager, you're going to hurt each other if you keep talking, isn't it better to have a tacit understanding ..."
"...You're right. My brain short-circuited for a moment just now. Please don't mind me." Chen Mo said,"okay, I'll play with you guys today. Go find a seat. I'll bring some milk tea over."
"Alright!" Chang xiuya was overjoyed. She had been a little worried at first, thinking that Jia Peng wouldn't be able to carry the two girls on his own. But now that Chen Mo was going to fight, it seemed like Jia Peng would be able to win easily.
Jia Peng and the two girls found four seats in a row. After all, it was almost new Year, and the experience store's traffic was decreasing, so it wasn't hard to find empty seats.
Chen Zhao hadn't arrived yet. He was probably still waiting for the milk tea.
"How was it?" Chang xiuya whispered to li jingsi,"how did it feel to see S-God?"
Li jingsi smiled."Other than the fact that he's very young, there's nothing special about him. Is he really that good at gaming?"
"That's for sure," Jia Peng said."He's even beaten the gods on the ladder in Warcraft. Don't you think he's good?"
Li jingsi felt a little regretful."It's a pity that I played Warcraft too late and didn't make it in time to fight him. However, I've heard many stories about him from Goph and the others. I heard that he was the one who invented the famous 'wind blowing'."
"Don't worry, there's still a chance. After you finish League of Legends, you can ask to play two rounds of Warcraft with him, he should agree. " Jia Peng said.
As they were chatting, Chen Zhao came.
After passing the milk tea to everyone, Chen Mo realized that the others had left him in the middle, next to Jia Peng and Li jingsi.
"Manager," Jia Peng explained,"you can sit in the middle. It'll be easier for you to command us."
"Alright," he said. Chen Mo sat down, feeling a little uncertain.
If it was before, bringing these people to fight in matchmaking would be no different from beating up machines. One against five would not be a problem. However, he was possessed by the God of bad luck now. If every word he said was toxic, he would be in big trouble as a commander.
He opened the League of Legends client and entered the game.
Chen Mo's ID was still the same as before,"sient." He had already played a few rounds in the beta and was now Level 5, ready for matchmaking.
Li jingsi had obviously played it before. Her account had just reached Level 3, which was just enough for her to play in matchmaking.
Jia Peng was the highest level among them, at level 10.
Jia Peng had invited three people to form a team, but they couldn't gather five people to play, so they could only play a random passerby with four players.
Chen Mo glanced at the virtual screen on his bracelet and saw that the mission had been updated.
[System mission (2/5): complete a match in League of Legends. [Time limit: 1 hour]
[System mission (3/5): choose a champion that requires luck in the game.]
[System mission (4/5): complete 100 unlucky events in the game.]
[System mission (5/5): win the game with a score of 0:8.]
All the missions were refreshed, but the next ones had to be completed in this game.
Chen Mo's mouth twitched. So many restrictions?
In order to complete the game within an hour, he had to choose a hero that required luck, complete 100 unlucky events, and win with a score of 0:8?
This ... This is asking me to win while lying down!

Chapter 314: 100 bad luck incidents
Chen Mo was dumbfounded. If he could carry the team, then it wouldn't be a problem, but to let him win without doing anything ... That was too unrealistic, there were two girls in the team!
If Chen Mo, the biggest carry, played 0x8, then who would carry him?
Chen Mo cursed in his heart, but remained calm on the surface.""You guys choose your champion first."
It wasn't that Chen Mo wanted to be confident, but he still hadn't figured out what a hero that required luck was, and how he could complete 100 unlucky events.
Obviously, everyone wanted to win. Jia Peng brought out his favorite Bladesman, Chang xiuya picked Lulu as support, the passerby picked Annie as mid, and Li jingsi picked Vayne as her target.
"Jingsi," Chang xiuya whispered,"this champion is hard. Do you know how to play it?"
"I've never played it before. Let's try it out,"li jingsi replied.
Chen Zhao was speechless.
He could only hope that the other side didn't know how to play!
Chen Mo looked through the list. Which champion should he choose?
Bad luck events had to be completed 100 times in one game. How would that count? Flash and hit the wall? It definitely wouldn't work. This was his own mistake and had nothing to do with bad luck.
Chen Zhao suddenly thought of a critical hit!
Assuming that a critical hit was not triggered when it was supposed to, this should be considered an unlucky event, right?
...
"I'm a genius!"
After thinking this through, Chen Mo locked onto a top champion without hesitation."The king of the barbarians, tedamir.
The Barbarian King's passive skill, battle fury, allowed him to gain rage points through his attacks. Rage would increase his chances of a critical hit. In other words, he was a hero with a natural critical hit.
Moreover, the Barbarian King's main damage output was normal attacks, so it should be easier to trigger the critical effect and complete the unlucky event.
Chen Zhao was currently in a state of "possession by the God of bad luck". Even a mouthful of cold water would get stuck in his teeth. Therefore, the Barbarian King's anger would not cause him to crit frequently.
After choosing his champion, Chen Mo changed his skin,"The demonic blade, tedamir.
Jia Peng was dumbfounded,"manager, you ..."
Chen Mo nodded,"yes, all skins"
Jia Peng was speechless.
……
He loaded the game.
In terms of Summoner skills, because many of them had not reached level 10, they had all sorts of Summoner skills. Chen Mo's account was only Level 5, with sprint and teleport, while li jingsi's account was only Level 3, with healing and barrier.
"Let's try. " Chen Mo felt like the future of this game was uncertain.
Actually, it was not a big deal to lose a game or to lose face, but the key was that if he lost this game, he would not be able to complete his task of changing his luck, and the state of [possession by jinx] would follow him for the whole day!
Who knew what kind of trouble would happen today.
Chen Zhao could only focus.
He glanced at the opposing team and saw that they were stone man, Death Song, a Mumu, sister good luck, and sona.
"What?" Jia Peng was dumbfounded,"that's ... The ultimate team battle formation!"
It was true that the opposite team's lineup was simply the favorite of novices. As long as there was a big move, it would be very powerful in a team fight. Rockman, a-Mumu, and sona each had a team control. Vayne's living environment was extremely harsh.
The worst thing was that li jingsi's account was only Level 3, and she had yet to unlock the summoner's purification skill.
"Manager ..." Jia Peng looked at Chen Mo,"how do we play this?"
"Let's play normally," Chen Mo said."You'll carry this round."
Jia Peng was speechless.
Before they knew it, there were already a lot of people watching them from behind.
Obviously, these people had never seen Chen Mo play a game before, and wanted to see how the S-God who had massacred the ladder of Warcraft played League of Legends.
There were also people who were whispering to each other.
"I wonder how Chen Mo is doing in League of Legends? He chose the Barbarian King. This hero is very powerful in the late game, and he's also known as the three blades of the Barbarian. "
"Didn't you see that video? Chen Mo's saving the dying bull, he's obviously not a good player in League of Legends. "
"Not necessarily, let's see."
Chen Zhao was speechless.
The problem was that he had to play with a score of 0 to 8. This time, he was going to live up to his title of "League of Legends noob, serente."
At the top lane Tower, Chen Mo's Tryndamere did two push-ups and waited for the minions.
With his skills, even if he didn't have a critical hit, it wouldn't be hard to kill the stone man. After all, the difference in skill was too great. The stone man was still underaged, while Chen Mo's hand speed, reaction speed, skill, and awareness were all superior.
But the problem was that not only could Chen Zhao not kill him, but he also had to find an opportunity to give away eight heads.
Chen Zhao's Tryndamere started developing peacefully with the stone golems. Chen Zhao focused on killing and accumulating rage.
Sure enough, even when the Barbarian King's anger was full, there was not a single critical hit.
Chen Mo glanced at the screen on his bracelet. The mission of completing 100 bad luck events was still 0/100.
"How can it not be counted?" Chen Mo was a little confused. The Barbarian King's critical hit rate was 35%, but he didn't get a critical hit after so many attacks. He must have triggered bad luck.
Could it be that ... Killing soldiers did not count?
Chen Mo decided to give it a try. He used his e-skill and slashed the stone golem's face three times, then retreated.
There was still no critical hit, but the mission on his bracelet had become 1/100.
"F * ck! It turned out that it had to be a hero! F * ck!"
In other words, when the Barbarian King was attacking the hero, the critical hit that should have been triggered was not triggered because of the possession of jinx state. At this time, he had completed a bad luck event.
Chen Mo almost vomited blood. The Barbarian King required him to trigger 100 unlucky events when he killed the hero. How ... How much damage would he lose?
However, it would be easier if he knew how to deal with bad luck. Chen Mo did some rough calculations on how to deal a critical hit.
First of all, the S3 talent didn't have talent points that could increase the chance of critical hit, it only increased attack speed and critical damage, so talent could be excluded.
In terms of equipment, the startik Lightning Blade could increase critical strike by 30%, the endless blade could increase critical strike by 20%, and with the 35% critical strike from full rage, the critical strike rate could reach 85%, which should be able to trigger the skill faster.
Chen Zhao made up his mind and started to develop in peace. He planned to leave the mountain after he used the lightning knife and endless.
Although he forced the stone man back home a few times, Chen Zhao couldn't kill him, so the stone man's development didn't fall behind.
Jia Peng was a little flustered. It wasn't a good sign to develop peacefully with the opponent's lineup.
He looked at li jingsi."How is it? is the bottom lane under a lot of pressure?"
Li jingsi focused on the screen.
It was li jingsi's first time playing Vayne, and Chang xiuya was a clumsy player. On the other hand, sister good luck and sona were stronger in the lane, and they had to be on guard against a Mumu. So, to Jia Peng and the others, it was good enough that nothing happened at the bottom lane.
Fortunately, everything was stable so far, and Vayne's CS were even slightly ahead.
Jia Peng looked around and realized that it was unrealistic to catch sister Yun and sona, so he looked at Chen Mo,""Manager, can you catch them on the road?"

Chapter 315: The king of barbarians who doesn't deal critical hits
"No," Chen Zhao shook his head."You should do more counter-squatting."
"Oh." Jia Peng's original plan was to capture more of the stone golems and fatten Chen Zhao's Tryndamere, but he didn't know that Chen Zhao wouldn't be able to kill him.
Blademaster, who had originally planned to go to the top lane, turned back to the bottom lane.
In the early stages, it was not easy to catch a Mumu and Blademaster, so they were both focusing on farming. Jia Peng was timid and did not dare to rashly invade the jungle, so he played until the middle lane and the two champions were Level 6.
At the same time Death Song reached Level 6, a Mumu appeared at the bottom lane, obviously intending to take Vayne down.
"Be careful at the bottom lane, go back to the tower!" Jia Peng was a little flustered. His Bladesman and a Mumu didn't have any big moves yet, so if they really fought, it would be a 50 – 50 chance. However, the opponent's deathsong could cooperate with a full-screen big move, so they would definitely be at a disadvantage.
It was obvious that the other side was also a four or five-person Black team. The communication was good, and the timing was very accurate.
Chen Mo quickly looked at the bottom lane. It wasn't a big problem. The bottom lane duo should be able to use their Summoner's skills without killing anyone.
However, at this moment, a ray of light suddenly lit up on the stone man's body. He had been teleported!
"F * ck! All underaged passersby can teleport?"
Chen Zhao was shocked too. Was she an underaged passerby? Could it be that the system is trying to mess with me while I'm possessed by jinx?
Chen Zhao rushed to the stone golem and slashed it a few times, but the Barbarian King didn't interrupt the skill. He could only watch the stone golem leave.
Chen Mo decided not to teleport, because based on his judgment, the stone golems would at most help his teammate get one more kill, but they would lose a lot of minions. Moreover, although the Barbarian King also had big moves, his combat power was not as good as the stone man. It was hard to say if he would win if he went down.
...
After all, Chen Mo had a Barbarian King that couldn't be dealt a critical hit.
"The stone golems have teleported back to the tower."
Chen Mo said as he led the minions to destroy the enemy's top lane Tower.
Tryndamere was a champion that could take down towers faster than the others. By the time the bottom lane battle ended, he had already destroyed the top lane.
However, the bottom lane was also very brutal. It was a one-for-two trade. Chang xiuya's Lulu and Jia Peng's Blademaster died, while the opponent's Rockman died under the tower.
It was the opponent's period of strength. After a Mumu and sona reached Level 6, the team control formation was completely unreasonable. Chen Mo's side could only retreat and the outer tower was in danger.
Very quickly, after being caught a few times in the jungle, the kill count ratio of both sides became 2-8.
"Vote," Annie said.
Jia Peng scratched his head,"manager, how do we fight?"
Chen Mo's Tryndamere was still farming money, but because his sense of smell was too good, and the opponent's attention was on his teammates, Chen Mo didn't die before the lightning knife was ready.
After a while, Chen Mo typed in the game,""Stall them, I'll steal the tower."
Everyone was speechless.
The people watching from behind almost laughed out loud. Chen Mo, Chen Mo, you've finally had a day like this?
Obviously, League of Legends wasn't a game where one person could save the world. Chen Mo's insane reaction speed and hand speed were useless. Once the opposing team formation was chosen, no matter how good you were, could you take on five of them at once?
Seeing the disbelief on Jia Peng's face, Chen Mo said in a serious tone,""I'm serious. Listen to me and you'll win. "
"Alright," Jia Peng coughed,"you can give us your instructions now, manager. What should we do?"
Chen Mo quickly sent a signal on the map,""The opponent should be in this position now. You can go a little closer to get a better view, but don't give the opponent a chance to force open. Just hide under the tower and guard it well. "
After Chen Zhao's Barbarian King used the lightning knife, he rushed to the top. Rockman had been following the team. Although he had a few assists, his finances were much worse than Tryndamere 'S. He was quickly killed by Chen Mo.
Chen Mo didn't care and took the top lane Tower.
"Manager, there's no one on the map," Jia Peng suddenly said,"did they go to catch you?"
Chen Mo glanced at the small map. It was dark, so it was highly likely that they were here to catch him, but he didn't know how many people there were.
Chen Mo sent a signal from the enemy's Blue BUFF,""Let's go here and take the lower tower. "
As expected, when Chen Mo took down the top lane turret and wanted to continue pushing, a Mumu and Rockman arrived. Rockman didn't say a word and used his ultimate, but it was dodged perfectly by King Manman's E-skill.
The stone man was a little dumbfounded. He stood still for half a second as a punishment before throwing out a Q-skill. At the same time, a Mumu stretched out a bandage in an attempt to tie up the Barbarian King.
However, with a perfect S-shaped snakeskin movement, the bandage was also gone.
A Mumu, who did not manage to tie up the Barbarian King, was also dumbfounded. He cried on the spot, his tears forming a River.
Tryndamere went straight into the red buff's jungle area, but since he had the speed reduction effect of the stone golems, he could not run very fast. Before he could run far, deathsong had also arrived!
The three of them were supposed to die when trying to catch Tryndamere, but Chen Mo's positioning was so good that even with the speed reduction effect, the non-directional skills couldn't hit him at all.
Moreover, this Barbarian King was also taking advantage of every opportunity to attack. Although there was not A single critical hit, and it was just like scratching an itch on the stone man and a Mumu's bodies, just being attacked continuously was already very annoying.
Ah Mumu was getting anxious as well. He still had 3 seconds left on his ulti and was ready to use it. However, just as he was about to use it, the Barbarian King suddenly used his E-skill to cross the wall!
Although the Barbarian King was still frozen by a Mumu's big move after crossing the wall, the death song and the stone man were unable to follow up with their big moves immediately.
The audience behind Chen Mo exclaimed,""F * ck! The store manager is so lucky, ah Mumu just happened to Zoom in when he crossed the wall?"
Chen Mo cursed in his heart. I'm lucky in my current state? Have you ever seen me, the Barbarian King with a critical hit rate of 65%, deal a critical hit with my Lightning Blade when I'm enraged?
If I didn't remember the cooldown time of a Mumu's big move, I would have been dead.
On the other side, Chen Mo's four teammates charged into the enemy's Blue BUFF and caught the duo at the bottom lane. They successfully exchanged a 0 for 2 and even took down the bottom turret.
Jia Peng was concerned about Chen Mo's condition as he destroyed the tower,""Manager, how is it? can you walk?"
Chen Mo didn't reply. The Barbarian King's health was on the verge of collapse, and he had already used his ultimate, endless fury, and entered the state of a real man for five seconds.
He retreated as he fought, killing people to farm for bad luck while approaching the dragon's cave.
"Three, two, one!"
In the last second after King of barbarian's ulti ended, Chen Mo used his E-skill to go through the wall and enter the circle of Dragons. Then he dodged a Mumu's bandage and deathsong's Q-skill, ready to escape.
Jia Peng: "F * ck! The manager is awesome!"
Before he could finish, a beautiful red line appeared above everyone's head.
The big move of the song of death, Requiem!
"I'm sorry, manager, I couldn't help but give you a kiss,"Jia Peng said.
Chen Mo was already looking at the items in the shop. Even if he used his Q-skill to recover his health, he would still die, so Chen Mo gave up on struggling.
However, a low-HP Barbarian King was able to trick deathsong out of him. He had also completed his strategic goal of 1/8 deaths.
Chen Mo glanced at the bracelet. Thank God, he had already completed 19 bad luck incidents.

Chapter 316: Chapter 315-successful luck
The death of the Barbarian King had relieved some of the pressure on his teammates, but they were still at an absolute disadvantage. They still couldn't win a head-on team battle.
Chen Mo continued to mark on the map,""The other party might be here. I'll continue leading the way at the bottom lane. This time, you guys set up an ambush here. You should be able to catch a lone Rockman or deathsong."
……
Emperor dynasty Entertainment's headquarters.
Jin jieguang handed a detailed report to Lin chaoxu, including some in-game data and surveys of the lost players.
Lin chaoxu carefully read the report twice, then said,""So, the key to the high loss rate is that we've imported too many players with low levels of skill?"
Jin jieguang carefully corrected Lin chaoxu,""Boss Lin, strictly speaking, most of the players in China are light-core players compared to COG. It's not a problem with our guidance."
Lin chaoxu remained silent.
"Mr. Lin, there are a few statistics that you can focus on," Jin jieguang continued.
"The first is the key loss point. Most of the players lost after the first game. In addition, the number of players lost between the second and first game is also very high. In other words, most players quit the game after their first battle with another player. Some even quit the game. "
Lin chaoxu furrowed his brows,"in other words, the first time they fought with a player, the gaming experience was terrible." Why doesn't League of Legends have this problem?"
Jin jieguang explained,"because the tutorial for beginners in COG isn't so detailed, and it doesn't force players to fight against machines to Level 3, and the lineup isn't as well-organized as League of Legends." In other words, many new players have already started to fight with the players before they even understand the real way to play the game. "
Lin chaoxu frowned,"but, isn't there a matching system for COG?" You can match players of similar levels together ..."
...
Jin jieguang nodded."Yes, but it's meaningless. Players don't have any game data in the first game. We can't judge his true level." Some players have experience in RTS games, while some players have never played similar games at all. Although these two types of players are playing COG for the first time, their skills are far from the same. "
"Moreover, the complex game mechanics and snowball effect of COG will further increase the gap in the players 'strength. Therefore, the first round of the game will be ... Very bad for the new players."
"In League of Legends, players 'level is understood to a certain extent through the detailed beginner's tutorial and forced human-machine combat, so the data matched in the first game will be more accurate."
Lin chaoxu nodded,"yes, continue."
Jin jieguang continued,"next is the survey. We specifically investigated the core players who stayed in COG and the players who left. The results were very surprising. The reviews of these two groups of players are very different."
"Most of the core players who stayed in COG are experienced players of the original maps, or have more experience in RTS games, and their hand speed is relatively fast. They're very satisfied with the game and have good reviews. That's why COG has always had high ratings. "
"They're having a good time abusing noobs. "
"As for the lost players, they felt that the game was difficult to get used to and they didn't understand it. They couldn't even understand some of the basic game settings, so they were tortured badly and had a terrible gaming experience.
"But, isn't it the same for RTS games?" Lin chaoxu was puzzled.
Jin jieguang nodded,"that's why RTS games have a small audience." Moreover, RTS games like Warcraft have a threshold, and players have to pay to buy it, so those who buy it are all hardcore RTS players, which naturally dismatches a portion of the players. "
"However, COG was a free game, and any player could join it. However, it was actually very difficult to get started with. In the eyes of these unskilled players, it was difficult to get started with both it and RTS games, so these people were all lost.
Lin chaoxu tapped the table lightly and said,""Therefore, the lost players became the silent majority. They didn't leave bad reviews or curse on the forum. They just quietly deleted the game.
Jin jieguang nodded and said,"I'm afraid ... That's the case." This is also the key reason why the COG score does not match the survival rate. "
Lin chaoxu felt a slight headache.
"Boss Lin," Jin jieguang said,"Chen Mo is doing the right thing. He's noticed that this type of game isn't good for new players, so he simplified it to get more market share."
"What's more, League of Legends hasn't reached its peak yet. He still has plans for further optimization and updates!"
Lin chaoxu leaned back and pondered,""So, what do you think we should do?"
"I don't think it's possible to make those foreigners change their cogs given their rigid characters," said Jin jieguang. Let's use this chance to make a similar game, and follow Chen Mo's final plan! Our game will be the final winner. Chen Mo would never have thought that his League of Legends would help us expand the market and benefit others. "
Lin chaoxu stood up and took two steps, hesitating.
"Don't worry, I'll think about it. "
……
In the experience store, the battle was intense.
Chen Zhao's Tryndamere had a score of 0 to 7. It would be crazy if he died again. However, he was still persevering in dismantling the enemy's bottom-Lane crystal. Each slash seemed to be cutting into the hearts of the five people in front of him.
The Barbarian King, who was filled with anger and had Infinity, Lightning Blade, and bloodthirsty sword, did not even have a single critical strike. This made everyone wonder if there was a BUG in the game.
Even though the five of them were in a team battle, Chen Mo's Tryndamere made them extremely frustrated. Even though they could earn something every time they started a team battle, Chen Mo was the one who took care of a lot of towers.
Even though the Barbarian King had been killed a few times, Chen Zhao's side had the upper hand.
The onlookers were amazed,"the manager is playing League of Legends as a hide-and-seek game!"
Li jingsi's Vayne was already at 7x0x2, a stark contrast to Chen Mo's 0x7.
Especially when the other side was shocked by his amazing plays, Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh,""Do the big shots like to act like newbies these days? Didn't you say you've never played Vayne before?"
Jia Peng was also very excited. He didn't think that such a headstrong situation in the early game could be completely reversed through the contribution points.
"Manager, they're going to start another group!" Jia Peng said.
"It's fine. I'll just keep them busy for a while. I'm going to dismantle the crystal soon!" Chen Zhao was already heading towards the last crystal hub.
It was obvious that the other party didn't want to return to the city. They had already been annoyed by the Barbarian King, and all they wanted to do was to rush forward and end this battle.
Soon, all kinds of messages started to flood the screen. Rockman and AMU forced Lulu, Annie killed song with a backhand, Blademaster entered the field to harvest, and Vayne was madly attacking ...
However, they were still short of one player. Although li jingsi's Vayne had tried her best to avoid all kinds of damage skills, she was still killed by the Requiem that was released after deathsong died.
In the end, only lucky sister was still alive, pushing Chen Mo's crystal with all her might.
Chen Mo was also dismantling the crystal core, but he realized that even though he had completed the 100 unlucky events, he was still one death short!
There wasn't enough time. Chen Mo cut the crystal to the last bit of health, then used whirlwind slash to charge into the enemy's spring.
At the same time, everyone's earpieces were filled with a shocking "VICTORY"!
"Wow, the manager is awesome!!" The onlookers were shouting excitedly.
Jia Peng, on the other hand, was so exhausted that he was slumped in his chair.
Chen Mo let out a sigh of relief as he looked at the virtual screen on his bracelet.

Chapter 317: The shame of bringing a sister to kill serente
Chen Mo's video of Barbarian King was uploaded online again.
The title this time was,"the Barbarian King of Serent brought his sister 0x8 to become a super god. It's a disgrace to the world of girls!"
Moreover, it wasn't just the videos taken by passers-by. Many people also looked up Chen Mo's battle records in League of Legends, and there was indeed a score of 0 to 8 for Barbarian King.
On the other hand, li jingsi's Vayne ended up with a score of 9-1-2, the highest kill, MVP, highest damage output, and so on. It was an eye-catching sight, in stark contrast to Chen Mo's Tryndamere.
This post became a hot post on the forum again.
"Hahahaha, Chen Mo really doesn't know how to play League of Legends. Saving the dying and healing the wounded, and bringing a girl to humiliate Barbarian King, doesn't that prove that he's not suitable for this game?"
"Wow, he was carried by the girl instead of carrying her. What a shame!"
"Also, did everyone notice that the Barbarian King in the video didn't even have a critical hit? He had already added endless to the electric blade, but he didn't even get a critical hit. How dark is Chen Mo's face?"
"This girl is really amazing, I think this Vayne is perfect! And the girl's looks are really explosive, and she's good at playing games. I feel like I'm in love!"
"Wow, I'm also secretly in love with this girl. Don't say anything else, just draw your sword!"
Chen Zhao had gained another title,'bringing a girl along with you, shame on you, thelent'.
This incident became a small interlude on Valentine's Day, and was talked about by the players of League of Legends.
More and more players started to believe that Chen Mo really couldn't play League of Legends well ...
...
……
On Valentine's Day, the number of active players in League of Legends increased again to 1.57 million, and the duration of the players 'games continued to increase.
This showed that League of Legends was becoming more and more attractive to the players. There were even more and more players who sat in five internet cafés and played games all night.
It was partly because of the Valentine's Day event, but more of it was because of the special qualities of League of Legends.
Compared to mmorpgs, MOBA games had a completely different way of increasing the playtime of players.
There were three main ways for mmorpgs to increase players 'loyalty. Exploration and collection of game methods, numerical stimulation, and social interaction.
The main method was still through numerical stimulation. In order to get the best equipment in the current version, players would play activities and Dungeons day after day, making mmorpgs one of the most time-consuming games.
However, this was also the biggest problem. The best equipment was often only dropped in large-scale team Dungeons. If players wanted to obtain it, they had to participate in activities at fixed times, which made it easy for them to get tired.
MOBA games, on the other hand, adopted a completely different approach. It not only achieved the purpose of increasing the game's stickiness, but also avoided the sense of fatigue.
The biggest advantage of MOBA games was the playability of the heroes and the uncertainty of the game.
Many players could play a few thousand rounds of Lee Sin and Yasuo without getting tired of it. On the contrary, they would find it interesting. This was the playability of heroes.
The uncertainty of a game meant that you always felt that you could carry the next game and would encounter normal teammates and weak opponents. Although you might lose even worse in the next game, you would still enjoy it.
This was similar to tabletop games in that every round was a whole new experience, and the players would feel that the next round would be even better. This gave the game a sense of anticipation and addiction.
Moreover, MOBA games could make full use of the time fragments, and could be played in solo mode or in black mode, which was far better than mmorpgs.
If Emperor dynasty entertainment was the only one who paid attention to League of Legends in the beginning, after the Valentine's Day event, the entire gaming industry started to pay attention to this new PC game.
Chen Mo 's' designer's home 'chat group was also in heated discussion.
"Chen Mo's League of Legends has been very eye-catching recently. It seems to have become popular overnight?"
"I heard that there are more than a million active players now. That's fast!"
"There are so many players? Which one of you went to play? tell me, what do you think?"
"It's very fun, and most importantly, it's easy to get started. There's basically no difficulty at all. That's really amazing."
"That's right. It's not hard to make a game complex. What's hard is to do subtraction. To make a complex game simple without losing the core fun, that's where you can truly see the skills of a designer."
"Also, it seems like Chen Mo plans to make this game his next priority? In my hometown, I can see the posters of League of Legends in the internet cafe in a third-tier city, and there are quite a lot of people playing it. "
"Boss Chen Mo's eyes and senses are indeed sharp. The Spring Festival is a perfect break, and the other companies have no plans to release new games. He's taking advantage of this time to take over the market and play really well!"
"Is Big Boss Chen Mo here? Quickly come and accept our "
"I don't think he's here. He's probably busy."
"I'm going to play League of Legends and learn! I feel like there's still potential to be discovered in this game!"
……
Within the small circle of designers, any designer who was sensitive to playtime had noticed the strong growth of League of Legends.
Although they were shocked by the potential of this new game type, and everyone was envious, it was a pity that most people were powerless.
That was because the big companies were on break, and it wasn't realistic for independent video game designers to come up with a new game in a short time without any preparation.
Moreover, most people didn't have the time and energy to research and develop new games during the spring Festival.
With the right timing, location, people, and a little bit of metaphysical factors, League of Legends was getting more and more popular.
……
It was February 16th, the first day of the new year.
"Xiao Ling, get up and eat!"
"Get up, don't make me call you a second time!"
"Get up ..."
Chen Zhao sat up helplessly.""Mom, I'm already 26 years old this year. Can you stop calling me 'Xiao Ling'?"
Hearing Chen Zhao's words, his mother was amused.""You know you're 26 this year? When can I find a partner? I'm waiting to carry a grandson!"
Chen Zhao was speechless.
It couldn't be helped. All parents of this age had unlocked a special talent. No matter what topic it was, they could always change it to "when are you going to find a partner?"
Perhaps, this was a certain historical necessity?

Chapter 318: The reversal of fate
Chen Zhao's mother cleaned up the breakfast and mumbled,""Xiao Ling, you're not young anymore. It's not like you can't afford to buy a house or get married. If you get married soon, I can take care of your children, don't you think so?"
"Mom," Chen Zhao said as he washed up."I can afford a nanny now. You don't have to take care of the child."
Chen Zhao's mother kept shaking her head."That won't do. How can the nanny you hired from outside take care of your child?" It's like a restaurant, with all kinds of spices and hormones. It's delicious, but it's not good for the body!"
Chen Zhao's father was also speechless."Alright, our son's work is going so well. He knows what he's doing. You don't have to keep nagging." Right, son? I don't think it's too much to ask for a marriage certificate next spring Festival, right?"
Chen Zhao was speechless.
Chen Mo's father said,"alright, hurry up and have breakfast. I still have work to do after breakfast." Don't delay any further. "
Chen Zhao's mother said while wiping her hands,""Sigh, didn't you say that you're your own boss? why do you still have to get up early and go to work every day? It's not easy for me to come all the way to the capital to cook you a meal. It's all your favorite food, so eat more. "
Like the others, Chen Zhao also brought his parents to the imperial capital.
Chen Mo had spent Chinese New Year at home in the past few years, but this year, considering the promotion of League of Legends, Chen Mo brought his parents over to spend the Chinese New Year together, and let them have some fun in the capital.
Chen Zhao's parents were both blue-collar workers. They were worried about Chen Zhao working alone in the imperial capital. Especially Chen Zhao's mother, who was always worried that he wouldn't be able to eat or sleep well in the capital. Every now and then, she would tell him not to eat waste oil in restaurants.
Of course, there were also all sorts of wedding urges. Chen Mo was already used to it, something that happened every year.
After breakfast, Chen Mo went to the experience store.
Chen Mo was planning to update League of Legends today, so he arrived earlier.
...
Putting the new version on the first day of the new year might seem like a scam, but in reality, there were many people playing games at home on the first day of the new year. Many people even formed teams to play games at internet cafes.
The custom in many places was to have the New Year's Eve dinner and watch the Spring Festival Gala on the night of the New Year's Eve. In the early morning or the morning of the first day of the new year, they would pay New Year greetings, leaving the afternoon free.
For some young people, if they didn't go out in the afternoon, they had nothing to do other than play games. Even when he went out to meet his classmates and friends, playing games in an internet cafe was also one of the important entertainment activities.
After all, for many second-and third-tier cities, few shops were open during the new year. Playing games in internet cafes was a very good entertainment activity.
Therefore, many internet cafes would open on the afternoon of the first day of the new year to meet the needs of these players.
Moreover, this would last until the end of the Chinese New Year holiday, so this was a great time for Chen Mo to promote it.
The Valentine's Day event, the new version update, and the battle Carnival were held before, mid, and after the new year respectively. They covered the entire Spring Festival holiday and aimed to harvest the players indiscriminately.
……
In the studio, Qian Kun and the others quickly arrived.
Chen Mo looked at the time,"it's almost time. Let's stick to our original plan. We'll start the update. The server will be open at 12 noon."
The update time was from 8 am to 12 noon, which was four hours.
The content of the new version had already been completed and tested many times. There should not be any problems. Chen Mo didn't have much to do during the version update. After walking around the PC area on the first floor of the experience store, he sat in the living room and read.
It was the first day of the new year after all, so there wasn't a single customer in the experience store. Chen Mo was happy to be free as well, with no one disturbing him.
……
At 12 o' clock sharp, the new version update was completed.
Many players entered the game one after another to check out the updated content of the new version.
In a third-tier city, four friends went to visit in the morning. After lunch, they went to an internet cafe to play games.
"Let's go to the internet cafe!"
"Let's go! Are we still going to play moon God's prophecy this year?"
"The moon god's prophecy was abandoned some time ago. I don't think it can keep up with your progress. You guys can take me."
"I'm also a little tired of playing, there's nothing to do even if I go online. Are there any other games to play?"
"By the way, have you guys played League of Legends?"
"What is that? a new game? What type?"
"I'm playing! Let me tell you, it's really fun, it's easy to get started, everyone starts from Level 1, and it's a test of skill. "
"Sounds good. Let's try it together?"
"Let's play together. I heard that there'll be a new hero in the update today. We have to play it!"
"Let me carry you guys with my Bladesman! I'm a Bladesman!"
Although it was the first day of the new year, there were quite a lot of people in the internet cafe. Almost half of the camera seats were occupied, so there should be more people in the afternoon.
They were all surprised that many of them were playing League of Legends.
When did this game become popular? I didn't seem to have heard of it before the new year.
The four of them sat in the internet café and started League of Legends.
The internet cafe's League of Legends had already been automatically updated to a new version. As soon as the game started, they saw a new CG animation.
The four of them were stunned for a moment, but then, the beautiful CG animation attracted all their attention, and they couldn't help but put on their headphones and immerse themselves in it.
First, it was the sword, shield, and wings that formed the dynamic LOGO of League of Legends, as well as Thunderbolt gaming's logo.
The scene began with a close-up of a hand movement. Twisted Fate was playing with the card in his hand as if he were performing magic, and if you looked closely, you would realize that it looked like the same card, but the suit and number would change with every flip.
Twisted Fate looked at the distant town in the night. Suddenly, he waved his hand, and a Crow flew out of his card.
"Tuk."
With a dull thud, the scythe-wielding straw doll, its eyes gleaming, opened its mouth and let out a shrill howl at Twisted Fate.
The sky was filled with crows as they flew towards Twisted Fate!
The scene changed, and a blue-skinned bald mage with a Rune Scroll on his back was running in fear. His eyes were covered by a black nightmare.
The sky cracked and the earth cracked, and boulders collapsed. In the shadows, a dark creature suspended in the air revealed its sharp blade to the mage.
At the critical moment, the darkness in the wizard's eyes dissipated. He suddenly closed the spellbook and trapped the nightmare in place. Then, he extracted a ball of rune energy that was emitting blue lightning from the spellbook and threw it at the nightmare!
The scene changed again.
Garen, who was holding a giant sword, was fighting a red-haired girl. The red-haired girl's figure was very agile. She shuttled back and forth in the air and attacked garen with her dagger.
Garen gradually gained the upper hand. Just as he thought that victory was in his grasp, the Barbarian King suddenly extended his long sword, and the two of them began to fight fiercely again.
Garen's greatsword pierced through the Barbarian King's body, but the Barbarian King did not die. His eyes burned with endless anger, and the situation was reversed again.
A fireball blasted the Barbarian King away, and Annie, who was holding a Little Bear, hummed a little tune and joined the battlefield.
"Roar!"
A giant bear with flames all over its body descended from the sky. However, just as the giant bear was about to pounce on the Barbarian King, a huge monster suddenly swallowed it.
Baron Nashor opened his bloody mouth, and the whole cinematic atmosphere reached its climax. However, the video came to an abrupt end, and a huge LOGO appeared in the center of the screen.
League of Legends!
Chapter 319: New version, ranking competition
The four-minute video shocked everyone, and they took a long time to recover.
"What the f * ck? Such high-definition cinematics?"
"Awesome!"
"There are quite a few heroes in there. Twisted Fate, Annie, garen, and Barbarian King? But how many of them are you still not familiar with?"
"Is it a new hero?"
"That's amazing. Let's go and see the new update!"
"He's so cool!"
"After all, Thunderbolt film studio has a basic operation. Take a seat."
Compared to Warcraft and Diablo, League of Legends 'CG animation took a completely different path.
Blizzard cinematics like Warcraft focused on the story's content. They often cut out key points of famous events and used highly concentrated content to show the essence of the story. Every line was worth studying.
On the other hand, League of Legends used the battle royale of multiple heroes as the main CG content, which ignored the rationality of the plot to a certain extent.
This was because the first consideration for MOBA games was the diversity and balance of heroes. The main purpose of developing new heroes was to enrich the game mechanics, not to fill in the plot.
At the same time, these heroes were all protagonists, and they had different personalities. If they were all put into the same plot structure, it would actually be very difficult to make the plot very outstanding.
...
Therefore, even though League of Legends continued to show the universe of League of Legends and enrich the world view, the players 'recognition of the continent of valoran was always slightly less than that of Azeroth.
Of course, this was mainly due to the limitations of the game type.
Although the cinematics of League of Legends didn't have any plot, they showed the characteristics of the heroes and the game very well, so as a means of promotion, this cinematics was enough to make the players cry out in excitement.
……
The main updates of League of Legends were as follows.
The first was the added game cinematics, which was released in S3 in Chen Mo's previous life, titled "the twist of fate". The cinematics were chosen as the opening cinematics of League of Legends because the heroes in the cinematics were more compatible with the ones Chen Mo had planned for the first version. The ones in the cinematics were twisted cards, garen, Barbarian King, Annie, and the others, who were already released and had a certain level of influence among the players.
Next was the new hero.
This version update had a total of five new heroes, one for each position. They were: Ryze the wandering wizard, the doomsday Messenger (grass-man), Katarina, Sivir (lunhui's mother), and wind lady.
Among them, Ryze the Vagabond could be considered a mid champion. He was used to play the top lane, but it was rare.
(Of course, the older Ryze was the top trending list in S4. Gogoing even completed 3:0 achievements of the Korea team.
This version was released mainly because Ryze and Catarina were both very old and classic characters. They also had more scenes in the CG, so they were released together.
However, Chen Mo added both top and mid to Ryze's tag, allowing the players to choose freely.
Ryze and Catarina had both been remade. Before the remade, they were newbie heroes, but after the remade, their mechanics became more complicated. Chen Mo continued with his previous design and followed the new skills.
Although the old Ryze's magic machine gun and the old Catarina's face rolling on the keyboard were more fun, they were not easy to balance after all. A higher value would be too strong, and a lower value would make one sit on the bench all year round. There was not enough fun to play.
Chen Mo was thinking of adding one of these heroes into the wild mode if he had the chance in the future, and not update it in the official server for the time being.
In this way, all the heroes in the CG appeared, except for the eternal Nightmare, Morten.
Incubus was also a jungler and was somewhat similar to the paddy field man, so it was left for the next version to be developed, which was also to give the players some suspense.
In addition to the cinematics and new heroes, there was a very important update: The ranking competition mode was activated.
In fact, the players had been looking forward to this mode for a long time.
Chen Mo had already created a perfect ranking system in Warcraft, and the points were the most important measure of a player's skill.
Many old players of Warcraft understood the importance of this ranking system in the game, so they knew that League of Legends would have a ranking system sooner or later.
However, it opened earlier than everyone had expected.
In fact, it was still a little early to start the ranking competition, because there were only 30 Champions in League of Legends. In the draft mode, both sides had forbidden slots, and the Champions could not be chosen repeatedly, so the depth of 30 Champions was not enough.
Chen Mo was thinking about how to get the players to find a clear path as soon as possible, so that the experts could get out of the newbies 'newbies' Fishpond. This would allow the game to get on the right track faster, so he still activated the ranking system.
However, considering that there were only 30 Champions at the moment, a 10-ban mode was a little too brutal. For the time being, they would still adopt a 6-ban mode, which meant that the blue team would ban first, and the blue and purple teams would each have three bans.
The new ranking competition system also caused a heated discussion among the players.
On the official forum of League of Legends, an enthusiastic player posted and analyzed the content of the version update. After briefly analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of a few new champions, he deliberately spent a lot of time explaining the new ranking mode.
"I think the most exciting part of this update is the ranking competition mode. If cinematics are about face and new heroes are about game content, then ranked mode is about giving League of Legends its soul. "
"Anyone who's played Warcraft knows what I'm talking about. Climbing the ladder and passing players are two completely different gaming experiences. Under the stimulation of the ranking points, the game will continue to develop different strategies and will further stimulate the popularity of the game."
"Also, if you look closely at the ranking rules, you'll realize that League of Legends has a better ranking system than Warcraft."
"Under the new recruitment mode, players can ban heroes. This is a test for each player's hero pool and to a certain extent, it prevents repeated lineups."
"On the surface, the design of a large division from bronze to king only seems to be a change in the description, but in fact, it gives a very intuitive image of 'division'. It is no longer a dry score."
"Moreover, with the addition of the ranking competition, small division, large division, and other concepts, the ranking system has become more rich. It is also more beneficial to eliminate the factor of luck and show a player's true level."
"I can imagine that when someone asked you what rank you were and you answered with 3000 points, he wouldn't have any idea. What level is this? However, if you answer gold, diamond, or King, the concept will become very clear. "
"Of course, the most important thing is that it satisfied my need to act tough. Don't stop me, I'm going to play ranked and become the king!"

Chapter 320: This girl is cheating?
After the update, all the statistics of League of Legends skyrocketed, and it even became a hot search.
All of a sudden, everyone was talking about the new version of League of Legends. It was as if there were no other games during the new year.
At the same time, there were more discussions about League of Legends and COG.
"That's weird, I feel like COG is more fun than League of Legends, why do I feel like it's being crushed? It felt fine on the first day of the game, but why do I feel like there are fewer and fewer people after that?"
"I've played COG, and the beginner guide was a mess. The first match I entered, my matching head was smashed. I want to know if the matching system in this game is made with feet?"
"Hehe, it's too F * cking unbalanced. The dark Ranger in the middle is simply a BUG. It can summon all kinds of skeletons, lure wild monsters, and its damage output is also very high. Oh, right, it should be called the shadow Ranger now, because your company doesn't have the copyright. (Manual emoji)"
"I can't say for sure. Although I feel that COG was done quite well and the game's mechanics are quite rich, it's just that it's hard to get into it. It's too difficult to win. It feels like the gods are fighting."
"Forget it, let's go back to play League of Legends. The ranking matches are out, and I'm going to be the king of ranking from today on!"
It was only now that the feedback from the players after COG began to enter the field of vision of most players.
The players didn't have the detailed statistics like Emperor dynasty entertainment, so they only realized now that the popularity of COG seemed to have been crushed by League of Legends?
Although there were still many players fighting in the game, anyone with eyes could see that the winner of the first round of COG and League of Legends had been decided.
The number of players and popularity of these two games would show a relationship of one decreasing and the other increasing, and slowly, League of Legends would completely crush COG. Even with the two big channels of Emperor dynasty entertainment and fantasy gaming platform, it would be difficult to save them.
Unless Chen Mo made a huge mistake in promoting League of Legends.
...
However, Chen Mo never seemed to make a mistake.
No matter how anxious they were, there was nothing the other developers could do. Everyone was on holiday, and they could only watch Chen Mo's performance during the spring Festival.
……
In the experience store, Chen Mo yawned in boredom.
After the version update, he paid attention to the players 'feedback.
The effect was great. The players felt that the new cinematics were cool and the ranking mechanism was great. As for the new heroes, some said that they were too weak and some said that they didn't understand the game. But overall, the players were very satisfied.
The main point was that the five new heroes in this update either required a certain level of skill, such as Ryze and Carter, or were designated as team-type heroes, such as mother Lunzi and wind lady. The players needed to familiarize and understand the process.
This was the same as in his previous life. When a lot of new heroes were first released, everyone thought that they were trash. After they developed them, they realized that these heroes were f * cking crazy!
In the hall on the first floor of the experience store, Chen Mo was reading a book.
A figure walked into the experience store.
"Manager?"
Chen Mo was taken aback. He turned around and saw li jingsi.
"What are you doing here?" Chen Mo was a little surprised. Even though li jingsi lived in Imperial, why would she be at the experience store on the afternoon of the first day of the new year?
Li jingsi sat down on the sofa opposite Chen Zhao with a thermal container in her hand.
"I heard that the manager had to work overtime today. It must have been hard on him, so I'm here to comfort you."
Li jingsi opened the thermal lunch box to find some baked cookies inside. There were many flavors of cookies, such as vanilla, chocolate, matcha, and so on. They were all of different colors and were still warm. They looked delicious.
"Come, manager, try it." Li jingsi handed the thermal container to Chen Zhao.
"Ah, thank you." Chen Zhao picked up a matcha-flavored cookie. It still had a faint tea aroma. It was soft and smooth and melted in his mouth. It was delicious.
"MMM, it's delicious! Did you do this yourself? That's amazing. " Chen Zhao couldn't help but praise him.
"It's just cookies,"li jingsi said with a smile." Anyone who knows how to use an oven can make them. " There should be other employees, right? let them have some?"
Chen Mo shook his head."No, no, no, they're not hungry. Besides, cookie is so high in calories that they'll get fat if they eat it. I'll reluctantly do it for them."
Li jingsi burst into laughter and said,"Manager, I'm here today to ask for something. For cookie's sake, can you play a few rounds of Warcraft with me?"
"Warcraft?" Chen Mo was stunned."You're playing too?"
Li jingsi nodded."That's right. And I'm really good."
"No wonder you picked up League of Legends so quickly. You have the basics of RTS games. Alright, since I'm free today, I'll play a few rounds with you. "
Chen Mo took the thermal container and sat down with li jingsi on two computers in the PC area.
……
One.
Two.
Three rounds.
The two of them played three rounds. Chen Mo still used a random race, while li jingsi used a Night Elf.
To Chen Mo's shock, li jingsi was evenly matched with him. Even though he won all three rounds, li jingsi was obviously very skilled. In the second round, she used an elf against Chen Mo's beast, and even used a perfect wind style, almost overthrowing Chen Mo.
Even though Warcraft's tactics had improved a lot over the years, it was still impossible for an ordinary master to play wind blowing to this level.
What surprised Chen Mo the most was the girl's hand speed. It was extremely fast! Just from the sound of her typing, her average APM was estimated to be above 300.
Chen Mo's hand speed and reaction speed were fast, thanks to the use of many system items. As for li jingsi, it was hard to say how a girl could have such fast hand speed, but it was probably a gift from God.
Li jingsi took off her earphones and said with heartfelt admiration,""As expected of S-God, I'm convinced. When I was playing with Goph and the rest, they said that I definitely wouldn't be able to beat you. I didn't believe them, but I really can 't. "
Li jingsi had a smile on her face the entire time she said this, and there was no sign of dejection on her face at all. It was clear that she was not the kind of person who placed a lot of importance on winning or losing. Even though she gave it her all during the fight, she was always able to maintain a calm attitude.
"It's already quite powerful,"Chen Zhao said. With your current skill level, you should be able to reach the top of the ladder in Warcraft, right?"
Li jingsi nodded."It reached the top on the 7th of last month. The account name is 'throne.'"
"Throne?" Chen Zhao thought for a moment.
Li jingsi smiled and replied,"yeah." Have you stopped paying attention to Warcraft for a long time? you don't even know that the ladder ranking has changed. "
"I know this account," Chen Mo said,"but I thought only middle schoolers would use this id. Who would've thought it was a pretty girl?"
"Actually, this ID is just because it's in harmony with my name." Li jingsi said,"I didn't think Warcraft would be challenging at first, but after fighting you today, I'm starting to think that the game is interesting."
Chen Mo ate another cookie and looked through the comments on his phone.
"Do you want to play League of Legends?" Chen Zhao suddenly asked.

Chapter 321: Chen Mo's live stream
"Alright." Li jingsi nodded."Actually, I still prefer League of Legends. After all, this game's style is more comfortable, while Warcraft is too dark."
"Log into your account and wait for me. I'll turn on the livestream."
Chen Mo logged into his account as he downloaded the livestream app.
Chen Mo had a livestream room on fish-catching gaming platform. He used it when he was promoting Onmyoji, but he never used it again.
Chen Mo didn't play many games, after all, no matter what level of enemy he fought, he would only be able to beat up noobs, which was quite boring. However, he had a special purpose for livestreaming this time.
Ever since League of Legends was released, there had been discussions on the forum about the strength of each hero.
Currently, the players 'overall standard was still relatively low, so there was a certain gap between the hero's evaluation and the hero's actual combat power.
The 25 Champions in the first version had a decent appearance rate, as Chen Mo had balanced the numbers well, so there weren't any BUG-level Champions that could dominate the game.
The jungler, Archer, and support positions were still fine because the Champions 'positions were clear, their mechanisms were different, and the overall strength was not much different.
For example, lucky sister was a champion that was easier to pick up as an Archer, Ezreal was very agile, eich was a team controller, ratty could deal AOE damage in a team fight, and Vayne was a fast meat cleaver that could show off.
Each of these five heroes had their own characteristics and could meet the needs of the vast majority of players.
The players 'opinions were mainly focused on the middle lane, especially the two heroes, Twisted Fate and ice Phoenix. Most players felt that they were too weak.
Annie was a simple and brutal team control Mage, while Kassadin was a high-mobility snowball-type mage. In the later stages of the game, even a super ghost could be very useful, so these three mages were relatively more popular.
...
The players felt that Twisted Fate and ice Phoenix were too weak. They had low damage output and were easy to kill, especially Ice Phoenix, who did not have enough mana and could not touch anyone with her Q-skill.
After the new version update, the players 'opinions were even more intense.
Ryze was a mid-Lane mage who was a little weak in everything.
Ads by Pubfuture
Catarina was flying around in a graceful manner, but she didn't seem to be injured.
It was difficult for the paddies 'big moves to jump out with such a long channeling time.
Lun Tai's mother did not feel that there was any carry ability, so she could only go all out with her teammates.
Wind lady was just blowing wind to heal, and her presence was almost zero.
What the hell are these five updates?
Especially after the start of the ranking competition, there were more and more arguments about the balance of heroes on the forum.
"I beg Chen Mo to delete Phoenix. What else can he do other than turn into an egg?"
"And what's the use of Teemo? When I saw my teammate pick Teemo in ranked, I wanted to surrender immediately!"
"To be honest, Twisted Fate is also a piece of trash. It's such a waste to be the first to appear in the CG. It's a windfall!"
"I'll be honest. Those who don't choose a tank top or a tank jungler in ranked games, die!"
"I'm really starting to doubt if Chen Mo is able to balance the game. I'm convinced of the balance in Warcraft because Chen Mo is a Pro himself. But he's obviously not good at League of Legends, he's not even good at it yet, how can he balance the numbers?"
"Yeah, think about the bull that saved the dying and the Barbarian King that's 0.8. Oh my God!"
"Sigh, Chen Mo should find a good balancing master to help with the game's balance. If this goes on, all the good games will be ruined!"
……
Very quickly, the livestream software was ready.
Chen Mo tested the game and found no problems, so he posted on Weibo: "Fish-catching streaming platform, streaming room 10013, live streaming League of Legends."
After posting, Chen Mo placed it on the table and said to li jingsi,""Come, let's do the ranking."
"I took a look just now. I don't think my proficiency is enough ..." Li jingsi was a little helpless.
"Oh, wait a moment." Chen Mo quickly logged into the management platform and set both his and Li jingsi's accounts to all heroes master.
"Alright, line up." Chen Mo invited li jingsi to join his team.

"...Yes, very strong," li jingsi replied.
……
On the fish-catching live streaming platform, many people had received a broadcast message.
"The streamer you're following, Mister (room 10013), has started streaming. Go and take a look! [Click to jump to the livestream room]"
Everyone was a little dumbfounded. What was going on?
'Is Mister on air?'
Because it was so long ago, many people had already forgotten when they started paying attention to Chen Mo.
After all, it had been two and a half years since Chen Mo's bloodbath in Warcraft, and two years since Onmyoji's SSR draw. Many people had almost forgotten that Chen Mo still had his own stream.
Soon, a large number of viewers poured into the live broadcast room.
There weren't many people following Chen Mo's stream, only around 200000, but Chen Mo's Weibo had a lot of fans, so many people started watching his stream on their phones. In just ten minutes, Chen Mo's stream had 240000 viewers, and it was still growing.
Soon, the screen was filled with bullet comments. Everyone was discussing excitedly.
"Waa! S-God had come out of seclusion! How long has it been since S-God last played a game?"
"S-God, let's play Warcraft! It's so lonely without you. A little kid named Throne has climbed to the top. How can you bear this?"
"Where's Chen Zhao? Why aren't there any surveillance cameras? Why aren't you saying anything?"
"The stream and game ID match, this should be Chen Mo himself, right?"
"What, Chen Mo wants to play League of Legends? Don't tell me that he wants to show us the "healing the wounded ox" and the " 0 8″ Barbarian King?"
"Although we all understand that you want to promote League of Legends, don't you know what you're doing? you're a good example of what not to do!"
"Don't quarrel, don't quarrel! I want to see Chen Mo play League of Legends, then I'll be able to feel superior in terms of intelligence, hehehe!"
There were all sorts of comments.
Chen Mo didn't even turn on the bullet comments, nor did he turn on the camera or microphone, because he didn't care what the players were saying. He only had one goal, and that was to tell the audience: "Watch and learn."
Only the less skilled and the less popular streamers would go back and do such things, Chen Mo didn't care about it at all.
I rely on my skills to play games. Let me show you what high-end operations are!

Chapter 322: The goddess of fate is smiling
He entered the ranking competition interface.
The low BGM sounded, first with a soothing and nervous rhythm, followed by the concentrated beating of drums, and then the bugle that was common in warsongs. Several instruments were well integrated together.
Although the melody itself wasn't that tight, it perfectly set off the atmosphere of the qualifying competition. It made people feel an inexplicable sense of tension, but it also made their blood boil and filled with anticipation.
This was the first ranked BGM in "League of Legends" in Chen Mo's previous life. It was also a classic produced by the "fist of the big music manufacturers", so many players would subconsciously pick a champion when they hear this.
Li jingsi looked through the heroes that filled the screen and asked,""What should I choose?"
"As you wish." Chen Mo said,"just choose the one you want to play."
After the heroes were disabled, both sides began to choose their Champions.
Li jingsi was on a higher floor, so she locked onto Vayne first. Chen Zhao locked onto Twisted Fate after his opponent had chosen Annie.
"Lady Luck is smiling."
As soon as he locked on, his teammates sent him question marks.
The lava beast was confused. You're still playing card Heroes even though they're trash? With Kassadin and death Song, why don't you play cards?"
Chen Zhao smiled and didn't mind.
Very quickly, the game loaded.
...
Chen Mo went straight to the middle lane and started dancing under the tower.
The stone man walked up the road while typing,""Just don't give me the cards. I've already met a few cards that died instantly when they hit the ground with a swarm of flyings."
Chen Zhao was speechless. He felt like the stone man didn't trust him at all.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to comfort his teammates.
"I'm Chen Mo," Twisted Fate master said."I'm sure I'll win if I don't give away anything."
The stone man stood under the tower for a while before typing,""I'm still a Goph!"
"Sigh, but I really didn't notice your id. How did you make it so similar?"
Sword Saint Wuji: "you want to COSPLAY Chen Zhao's" saving the dying and healing the injured "bull or" super barbarian ghost king "?"
Chen Zhao was speechless.
It felt like it had become a stain on his life?
Forget it, I won't argue with these ignorant onlookers. I'm so magnanimous.
Annie was very aggressive. She stood outside the attack range of Chen Zhao's Tower and kept mocking him.
Indeed, among the current champions in the middle lane, Annie should be the strongest champion in the lane to the newbies. It was unreasonable for her to waste her health so easily just because she was stunned.
Chen Mo ignored Annie and stood behind the minion wave, steadily farming. Every time Annie wanted to faint and exhaust her cards, Chen Mo would pull away from her just right.
The first time he went home, Chen Zhao's 38 CS surpassed Annie's by 10.
Only then did the bullet comments notice the details of the card operation.
"This CS is 666, it's as beautiful as a painting. Did anyone see how many minions he missed?"
"It doesn't seem to be missing? I didn't pay attention!"
"That's 10 more than Annie. "
"And Chen Zhao doesn't seem to want to kill Annie? Why does it feel so conservative?"
"Trash! If it were me, I would've solo killed him long ago!"
Chen Zhao continued to develop.
In fact, it was not impossible for him to defeat Annie with his control, but that would lose the meaning of livestreaming. His control and reaction speed were not something that every player could have. Although he was good at killing, it was not educational.
Chen Mo wanted to show the players the essence of this champion. Even without incredible mechanics and reaction speed, he could carry a match with his familiarity and awareness.
Soon, Twisted Fate reached Level 6. After pushing the minion wave under Anita again, Twisted Fate went to the underbrush by the river.
With the activation of fate, a huge eyeball appeared above the heads of all the enemies, as if someone was staring at everyone's position in the dark.
The audience in the livestream room heard Twisted Fate's sneer.
"I've caught you,"
The top Lane's Rockman was pushed under the turret by garen. He was originally very uncomfortable, but when he saw Twisted Fate as a support, he did not hesitate to use a big move. Twisted Fate followed up with a yellow card. Under the output of the two people, garen was quickly killed without any suspense.
After all, the minion line at the top lane was too long. With Rockman's speed reduction and Twisted Fate's continuous output, garen could not hold on.
After easily taking a kill, Twisted Fate went back to his tower and took over the minion wave that Annie had pushed back.
There were already many people in the live broadcast room who were spamming " 666″.
"He, he's killed just like that?"
"That's weird, why can't I feel that this hero is so easy to kill when I play cardsharp? Every time I fly over, the other side will run away. Sometimes, I'll even be counter-squatted by the other side!"
"Look at Chen Mo's auto-attack, it's as beautiful as A painting! He basically didn't waste any damage and chased garen to his death!"
"Is Chen Mo really capable of playing Twisted Fate?"
His second ultimate, cardsharp, helped Vayne take lucky sister's head.
The third big move, cardsharp, killed the opponent's low health a Mumu in the jungle.
Moreover, as Twisted Fate was flying up and down the bottom lane, not only did Annie not manage to catch up to his CS, the gap between them was getting bigger and bigger. With the difference in CS and kills, Twisted Fate's equipment was getting more and more luxurious. In less than 20 minutes, he had already created a three-piece set of Lich, abyss, and Zhongya sandbag. When he encountered a lone champion in the jungle, he could just use a set of skills and they would be left with half of their health. All the other Champions were in a state of panic.
Rockman, who had been on the offensive since the start of the game, stopped talking. He would occasionally say 666. After all, Twisted Fate had helped him build an advantage by grabbing the top lane, and it was much more comfortable against garen.
The sword Saint on his side typed: "take advantage of the advantage and team up. It won't be easy to fight if the other side is tanky!"
The other side had the same idea. Twisted Fate's frequent full-map ganks made them panic, and they all ran in groups, not giving Twisted Fate any chance to catch a single player.
"Come."
Chen Mo quickly typed and activated his ulti again. This time, he chose a shocking position: Behind the five Champions.
At this moment, the stone man and the sword Saint had a lot of curses in their hearts because they had seen several cards that could make a big break. All of them had undoubtedly given themselves up while they were in the team battle.
Not only did he fail to bring up the rear, but he also ended up being unable to do so.
This was because Twisted Fate was a mid-Lane sorcerer and was extremely fragile. In a 1v1, he would not have any advantage over most of the other Champions, and if he were to fly into a crowd, he would only be courting death.
He was playing this card well at the beginning. Why did his intelligence suddenly drop and he started to give it away?
You're a big head!
However, it was useless to be conflicted because the card had already flown over. The others could only bite the bullet and continue.

Chapter 323: The number of people in the live broadcast room exploded
The other party had obviously noticed the position of the card. A Mumu directly walked to the place where the card had fallen and released his big move in an instant!
A wide Golden area appeared in an instant. Under the effect of the spell of mummy, all the enemies around it would be entangled.
Although The mummy's Q-skill also had a stun effect, it was a non-directional skill and was less controllable. After seeing Twisted Fate's amazing positioning, a Mumu did not dare to take the risk, so she directly used her ultimate!
At the same time, the others also threw their non-directional skills at the position where the card was about to land. They wanted to kill him the moment he landed.
But all of his skills missed, because it wasn't Twisted Fate that was flying at him-it was a golden statue that looked exactly like Twisted Fate.
Ding! Ding!
A crisp sound was heard.
The hourglass, also known as the Golden body, could make the hero immune to all damage for 2.5 seconds and could not be selected, but the hero itself could not move, attack, cast spells or release any skills.
All the directional skills and team control skills were all smashed on the Golden body of the card, and there was no splash at all.
Once the Golden body was over, Twisted Fate immediately activated sprint to avoid a Mumu's bandages, and at the same time, drew a yellow card to hold back garen, who was about to rush up.
At the same time, his teammates all swarmed up. After losing many of their key big moves due to the economic disadvantage, the other side was already defeated.
Twisted Fate strolled through the Aces as if he were taking A stroll in the park, drawing yellow cards one after another like death notices, announcing the death of his enemies.
The yellow card was fixed, and he threw out three universal cards, accurately taking down the last enemy who tried to escape.
...
"TRIPLE KILL!"
A huge triple kill icon appeared in the middle of the screen, and everyone could almost hear Twisted Fate's mocking laughter."Today is my lucky day!"
With a triple kill, the five opponents were wiped out. Twisted Fate and his teammates razed the enemy's base to the ground, ending the game.
After calmly rejecting the eight friend requests, Chen Mo continued to play with li jingsi.
……
The comments section exploded. This card show had shocked everyone, especially the last wave of golden bodies, which had made the audience feel like they were in heaven.
"F * ck! You can play Twisted Fate in this way?"
"Why do I feel like his Twisted Fate has such high damage? Yellow card, Q-skill, and passive, he's going to kill brickskin instantly?"
"And I feel like Chen Mo's movements are too agile. He's like a Loach that you can't catch, and he's throwing cards at you!"
"What's the principle behind the last wave? can any of you tell me?"
"Zhongya Shatou! [Landing golden body deception, I've learned something new! No, I'm going to try it out with a mech now!"
"It feels like ... Chen Zhao planned this? He must have known that everyone said that the cards were not powerful, so he showed them to us? Why do I feel a sense of familiarity ..."
"Yeah, when Warcraft first came out, everyone complained that the humans and elves were too weak. He did the same!"
"Does that mean Chen Mo is going to start teaching? Hurry up and post on the forum. Let everyone see that serente is acting cool again!"
After the game, the news that Chen Mo was livestreaming League of Legends quickly spread to all the forums and player groups.
Many players were still wondering, wasn't Chen Mo a noob in League of Legends?
Why did he even show off such a difficult champion like Twisted Fate?
The confused players all started streaming into Chen Mo's stream.
After all, it was the new year, and many people had nothing to do. Watching the livestream of League of Legends and learning some high-end skills was a good idea.
Soon, the number of people in Chen Mo's stream increased. By the end of the second ranked match, the number of viewers had exceeded 500000. The screen was filled with bullet comments and gifts. While the audience was spamming " 666″, there were also many people trying to communicate with Chen Mo.
"S-God, I beg Annie to teach me!"
"S-God, my roommate has cancer. Before he dies, he wants to see you play Teemo as the top lane. Please fulfill his wish!"
"S-God, why aren't you saying anything? Why don't you say something?"
"Where are the cameras? Where are the cameras? Where's the camera?"
Many of the new audience members were dumbfounded. What was going on? there were already 500000 people watching?
Judging from the number of comments and the frequency of the gifts, his popularity could only be high and not low. Moreover, Chen Mo didn't even sign an official contract with fish-catching streaming platform, so the popularity data shouldn't be fake.
However, wasn't Chen Mo's stream too half-hearted?
Other streamers paid special attention to their interactions with their viewers during their live broadcasts. Some less popular streamers would even read out every comment left by their viewers. The big streamers would also pick some bullet comments to answer. From time to time, they would also say some flirtatious jokes to liven up the atmosphere.
Not only did Chen Mo not turn on his camera, but he also didn't even have a microphone?
The entire process was all about choosing people and playing games. If it were anyone else, the live broadcast would have been done for!
But by doing this, Chen Zhao's popularity only exploded. This was really strange.
The third round of the ranking match began, and Chen Mo locked onto his champion: Ice Phoenix.
The bullet screen welcomed another wave of revelry.
"Wow, S is a beautiful ice bird!"
"As expected, S is teaching us. He'll play whichever game is harder. He must have seen the forum and knew that we all said that cards and Icebird were weak. That's why he deliberately played for us to see!"
"The ice bird I met only knows how to build a wall to cut off his own life. Let's see how S-God plays. Does he also know how to destroy birds and eggs?"
"Who was the one who said that S-God didn't know how to play lol? Drag him out and kill him, how dare he create false information!"
"Ice bird party UP UP!"
Soon, the audience was divided into different factions, all of which were divided by heroes.
There were some "Timo fans" who wanted Chen Mo to play the cute hero.
There was the Catarina party that wanted Chen Zhao to play a more showy champion.
Some wanted Chen Zhao to revive the "Minotaur Chieftain party".
Some of them wanted Chen Zhao to show off his new hero, the 'wandering Wizards'.
Almost every champion had a group of fans, and they were all begging Chen Mo to play the champion they wanted to see. These people didn't know if Chen Mo had seen the comments, so they kept saying all sorts of things, hoping that Chen Mo would see them.
……
Zhang Yu, the boss of fish-catching live streaming platform, received a message.
"Mr. Zhang, look at the front page of our stream, Chen Mo's stream is exploding in popularity!"
Zhang Yu, who was resting at home, was confused. What the hell? Chen Mo?
Why is he livestreaming?
Fish-catching streaming platform had worked with Chen Mo before, back when he drew SSR on Onmyoji. The platform had opened a room for Chen Mo, but it was never used again after the event.
Chen Mo hadn't streamed for almost two years, why would he suddenly do one at this time, and with such explosive popularity?

Chapter 324: Chapter 323-instant death
Zhang Yu was also a little puzzled. He took out his mobile phone and went to the front page of fish-catching live broadcast platform.
He was stunned as soon as he entered. What the hell, there were 670000 people watching Chen Mo's stream? He's already in first place?
"What's going on?" Zhang Yu sent a message."Chen Mo only worked with us before, he's not our contracted streamer. There's no need to give him fake data."
Very quickly, the other party replied: "chief Zhang, the data isn't fake. There are indeed so many people watching!"
Zhang Yu was speechless.
In fact, there were a few popular streamers on fish-catching live streaming platform who had millions of viewers. However, the problem was that it was the first day of the new year!
On the first day of the new year, how many big streamers would broadcast?
Even if there were livestreaming, they would at most livestream outdoors, and not many would play games. After all, the big streamers were all famous people. It was fine if they were model workers, but they had to take a break during the new year.
However, there were many viewers on the first day of the new year. Many people had nothing to do at home, so they were all playing games and watching live broadcasts.
Coupled with Chen Mo's strong influence in the fan group, he dominated the rankings. Without any fake recommendation spots or numbers, he became the most watched channel on the entire fish-catching live streaming platform.
Zhang Yu reacted quickly and immediately sent a message: ""Give him a homepage recommendation and an APP notice. Write 'League of Legends designer Chen moxiu's godly operation'! Promote it!"
After all, Zhang Yu had been working on the live streaming platform for so many years. He had a much more thorough understanding of many problems than the ordinary staff of the live streaming platform.
Even though Chen Mo didn't sign a contract with fish-catching streaming platform, he was a public figure that was on the same level as them, or even better.
...
After releasing one classic game after another, and after the live streams of Warcraft and Onmyoji, Chen Mo's influence in the player community far exceeded any popular streamer. This was something everyone knew.
Even though Chen Mo was also streaming on fish-catching live streaming, his stance was completely different from the other streamers. Those live streamers had to carefully coax the audience and manage their relationships with the platform as a way to make a living.
But Chen Mo didn't need to do that, he was completely free to do whatever he wanted, he didn't care about what the audience or the streaming platform thought, it was just the audience begging him to stream.
Just like now, Chen Mo didn't turn on the camera or microphone, he didn't even say a word, he just played the game in silence. Even so, he was able to attract a large audience, which showed how much influence he had over the players.
Zhang Yu didn't dare to lower the price and negotiate with him like the other streamers. Chen Mo was like a god of Fortune to fish-catching streaming platform. He couldn't wait to serve him well, so how could he dare to offend him?
Posting a few advertising messages and putting up a front page recommendation was a way of showing goodwill to Chen Mo, as well as helping to increase the popularity of fish-catching gaming platform.
……
Chen Mo's stream was still filled with bullet comments.
"It's on the front page recommendation. 6666!"
"Wow, this popularity is too explosive. It's the first live broadcast and the number of viewers is already in the millions?"
"I bet that if S-God livestreams until 10 p.m., No one will be able to do anything. S-God will be the sole owner of the fish-catching platform today!"
"I was just informed that someone is livestreaming League of Legends? Who's Chen Zhao?"
"Upstairs, you don't know who Chen Zhao is? How embarrassing, are there any moderators? Give him an eternal seal!"
Chen Zhao's Icebird had already gotten a score of 5x0x2.
The frostramparts blocked his path, his Q-skill accurately hit, and his E-skill directly took the kill.
In the key team battle, he used a big move to slow down the three people and killed them one by one.
This ice bird with the blue BUFF was like a flying death god. In the middle and late stages, as long as he met someone, he would RE-kill them with two skills and then kill them with a second icicle.
Many bullet comments were asking.
"Did Chen Mo use instant kill hack?"
"Mom, this ice bird is different from the one I'm playing with."
"I don't think I'm playing the same champion as Chen Mo. Why do I feel like this champion's damage is so high in his hands?"
"I feel like Chen Mo's playing Phoenix, while I'm playing chicken!"
"The other side's gaming experience is terrible! He had to report this to the police. This Silent ant was cheating! Instant death!"
The match ended without any suspense.
Chen Mo glanced at li jingsi."How is it? do you need to rest?"
Li jingsi shook her head."There's no need. It's not difficult at all. I just feel a little bored."
Indeed, these two players had the foundations of Warcraft, and their hand speed and reaction speed were very fast. In this segment, they could crush them with just their mechanics, so it wasn't interesting.
Chen Mo smiled and continued to rank.
……
Very quickly, the players also began to notice that li jingsi's battle results seemed to be a little out of the ordinary.
"Crushing in every round?"
"The ranking competition has just started, and everyone is still in the lower ranks. It's not a big deal to play to this level in the fish pond game, right?"
"But I feel like Chen Mo isn't playing seriously! Moreover, the players that were matched later on were obviously better players. "
"Did you guys notice? This Vayne in Chen Mo's team was so strong, she would always kill at least six heads. It's just that S-God didn't give us much of a view, but I feel like he's always able to clear the bottom lane?"
"S-God is too much. The enemy and US are not on the same level at all. How can we play this?"
"This ID is Throne? I just noticed that this is the same ID as the account that just reached the top of Warcraft. It seems like ... The same person?"
"That's not right, I remember this account. Didn't Chen Mo play duo mode with this account the other day? Even now, I can still find the record. This account was also playing Vayne and even played a 9 and 1. Who would remember?"
"Ah? Wasn't there a video of Chen Zhao taking care of a girl? This is a girl? Are you kidding me?"
"Chen Zhao, you're so shameless. You brought a girl on New Year's Day. You have to give us an explanation!"
……
There were a lot of comments, but Chen Mo didn't even look at them.
Each match in the ranking competition was very fast, and basically ended in 30 minutes at most.
Chen Mo and Li jingsi played all the way until 7 pm, and finally finished the ranking competition.
After winning all ten matches, both of their accounts were immediately upgraded to platinum 5.
Chen Mo typed on the screen, I'm offline, goodbye everyone.
The screen was instantly filled with question marks.
"What the f * ck? I was just having a good time watching it, and you want to go offline? Chen Zhao, come out! I promise I won't kill you!"
"Ah, ah, ah, I just entered the live broadcast room. I'll leave after two more rounds!"
"Yeah, there's so many people watching tonight, can you bear to stand them up? Hurry up and play two more rounds!"
"Don't go, God S!"
Chen Mo had already closed the live streaming app.
Li jingsi took off her earphones."I have to go back now. My mother is waiting for me to eat. She's already been urging me twice. Let's play together again next time."

Chapter 325: Chapter 324-new high for active players
Chen Mo and Li jingsi played together for another five days, from the second to the sixth. Starting from Platinum v, they had more than ten consecutive wins every day, dominating the stairway tree.
When many players encountered these two IDs in a ranked match, their first reaction would be to take a photo with them. As for the competition, it was hard to win anyway, so they would just leave it to fate.
Chen Mo's League of Legends was slightly different from the ranking system in his previous life, mainly in terms of ranking points. The player's performance in the game would also have a comprehensive evaluation, and if the player's stats were significantly higher than the average of the score, then they would be matched against equally strong opponents, and the ranking would increase after winning.
This was similar to the ladder in Warcraft. The higher you went, the easier it was to meet strong opponents. If you won all the matches, you would get extra points, and your ranking would rise faster than in his previous life.
Chen Mo and Li jingsi's ranking skyrocketed after winning all their matches in the past few days. They finally reached the top of the ladder on the night of the sixth day of Chinese New Year, becoming the first two greatest Kings to appear in the National server.
Although there were many other players who were trying their best to rank, they couldn't maintain a winning streak like Chen Mo. At most, they would reach the diamond rank. However, it shouldn't be long before there were players who reached the master rank and entered the ranks of the greatest Kings.
While Chen Mo was streaming, League of Legends continued to gain popularity. Chen Mo's stream reached a peak of 2.09 million viewers, which was more than many big streamers on fish-catching streaming platforms.
During the livestream, Chen Mo played almost all the carry Champions. He even played some of the more classic Champions like Ryze, Katarina, cardsharp, Gragas, etc., To show the players the advanced skills of these Champions, such as Ryze's combo, Gragas's geometric barrel, etc.
Chen Mo's livestreaming had created a wave among the players, and videos of his livestreaming had been posted on various forums, quickly becoming the most discussed topic during the new year.
"Who saw Chen Mo's jungler, Gragas? I'm so shocked. You can play hero like this? E-skill first, then flash, and you can even use your ultimate to blast the opponent's hero back to your Q-skill and kill him instantly?"
"Ryze's is also a classic. That combo really dazzled my eyes. All kinds of spiritual driving, and the Golden Cicada shell shedding technique. It's so bright!"
"Carter's kill was the best. Two Penta kills, right? I was shocked when I watched the stream. How did this hero deal so much damage to Chen Mo? I feel like it's completely unreasonable!"
"There's also Phoenix's instant kill. After RE-firing, the opposing team's C spot directly melted!"
...
"That Alistar support is the scariest. He's been going through all sorts of unreasonable tower attacks, and he couldn't even move after using a Big Shot. He went all the way to the bottom lane with Vayne, who said Chen Mo was saving the dying? Fake information, drag him out and beat him to death!"
In the process of switching to League of Legends, many uploaders on video websites had been making tutorial videos to teach the Champions some skills in League of Legends. However, after Chen Mo's ranked match video was released, these uploaders all stopped making tutorial videos, because they realized that their tutorial videos were nothing compared to Chen Mo's video.
A lot of UP Masters noticed that Chen Mo's ranked match wasn't explained, so they explained it to him, which further promoted the spread of the video.
As the players continued to research and spread the story, more and more players became familiar with some of the classic hero routines. Everyone stopped complaining about how weak some heroes were. It was obvious that all of them were strong in Chen Mo's hands.
However, Chen Mo didn't stream anymore after that, as he had already achieved his goal of teaching.
A lot of players were sending Chen Mo private messages or messages on Weibo, hoping that he would continue streaming, even if it was just an hour a day, but Chen Mo ignored them all.
The popularity of League of Legends had continued to rise, and the players had accepted the new game mode of ranking matches. Everything was on track, and it was time to move on to the next stage of work.
……
During the battle revelry on the 21st and 22nd, the number of active players in League of Legends reached a new high, breaking the two million mark.
This number was already unbelievable for a PC game.
There were quite a few games with two million daily active users, but most of them were popular mobile games, and some of them were fake.
The difference between League of Legends and other games was that it was a PC game with a high player retention rate of more than 70%. As the player base spread, the fish pond would become deeper and deeper. The gaming experience of new players would become better and better, and the number could still increase.
For many popular mobile games, it would be good if their popularity could last for a year. It was extremely rare to see one that lasted for two years, and active users came and went quickly.
However, League of Legends was completely different. Due to its high user stickiness, its players would continue to accumulate, and its popularity would continue to rise exponentially. Eventually, it would become a trend that would sweep across the entire PC market.
A lot of people thought that it was unbelievable that League of Legends could maintain such a strong growth momentum, but what they didn't expect was that it was just the beginning.
……
On the first day after the spring Festival holiday, many gaming companies immediately held meetings.
During the spring Festival, some professionals in charge of game reviews and data analysis had been informed by their bosses to analyze League of Legends. Many of them had to work overtime in the last few days of the Spring Festival holiday to make sure that they could submit the relevant analysis materials to the meeting for everyone to discuss on the first day of work after the holiday.
The continued popularity of League of Legends had created a trend in the domestic game industry, and almost all the designers were analyzing the success of the game.
Some people were just impressed by how fast League of Legends spread, and were impressed by Chen Mo's marketing.
However, some people realized the hidden message behind this: Could it be that the spring of PC games was coming?
Before this, the PC market was being suppressed by both mobile and casual games, while adventure and heavy games were being suppressed by VR. They could only rely on RTS games and mmorpgs to survive.
However, League of Legends had a completely different meaning. It was a type of game that was very suitable for PC, and whether it was the number of players, the depth of the game, or the profitability, it seemed to be very strong!
In other words, it had the potential to rule the entire PC market.
It was only now that many people realized that this new game type had such terrifying power.

Chapter 326: The strategy
All the features of League of Legends were analyzed repeatedly.
For example, the game's operation mode, art style, core gameplay, profit model, promotion methods, and so on. Countless professionals were studying the internal and external factors that made the game so popular.
Some designers were also wondering if they could ride on the coattails of League of Legends and make a game that was similar or even better.
Especially companies like Emperor dynasty entertainment and fantasy gaming platform, they were trying to steal users from Chen Mo's Thunderbolt gaming platform. The appearance of League of Legends at such a critical time was too deadly.
The distributors thought that this would be a long battle and decided to release the game in may or June, or even later than that. However, Chen Mo made the first move and released League of Legends before the new year. He took advantage of the loophole during the new year and used large-scale marketing to push the game to a high level of popularity.
The distributors were caught off guard. If they followed the original plan and launched a competitive game in may or June? That would be too late, and the daylilies would have turned cold.
In just a dozen days, League of Legends had become so popular. Who could predict what it would be like in three or four months?
By then, he might have already devoured the entire PC market.
The game companies had come up with the following countermeasures.
The first plan was to speed up the development of competitive games and release them earlier.
However, this plan was quickly rejected, because "Project: S "and three realms were both large-scale games that were interconnected between VR and PC. There was a lot of work to be done, and the development schedule was already very tight. It was impossible to release them earlier.
Moreover, after analyzing the game mode of League of Legends, many designers were skeptical about whether these two games could pose a threat to League of Legends.
Because these two games were old-school shooting and role-playing games, there were already relatively mature products on the market. On the other hand, League of Legends was a new game model, so it was obvious which one would be more popular.
...
He had only heard of new game genres replacing old game genres, but he had never heard of old game genres being able to fight back.
The second plan was to develop a game similar to League of Legends, which was either a copycat or a knockoff.
Obviously, this was the best strategy that these companies could come up with at the moment, unless they could discover a better game model. However,"discovering a better game mode" was something they had been trying for a long time, and it was not something that could be done overnight.
Therefore, even though following the trend and making mountain villages seemed very low, they were the best choice at the moment.
Moreover, copycat games might not necessarily fail, and there were many examples of pirated games surpassing the original.
There were also several ways to create counterfeits. They could release a game similar to League of Legends on PC, or similar games on other platforms.
He definitely couldn't make a VR game, because the investment was too big and the risk was too high. Moreover, League of Legends was able to capture so many players because of its low configuration, ease of use, and God's perspective. Making it a VR game was as unrealistic as making an RTS game like Warcraft a VR game.
Without the omniscient view, the players would not be able to control the state of the entire battlefield, and it would be extremely difficult for the players to cooperate with each other. Coupled with the shrinking of the player base, the fun of the game would be lost.
There were also people who suggested making similar mobile games. This seemed more reliable, but whether or not they wanted to do it was not confirmed.
The main thing was that changing a game's platform meant that the players 'operating habits would also change accordingly. As for how to avoid these "pitfalls," he still had to think about it in the long run.
For example, how should he release non-directional skills while playing League of Legends on the phone? How should he farm? How should I check the minimap? How should he send a signal to his teammates? How was one supposed to determine which champion the player wanted to attack?
If they used their hands to farm, how could the small screen of the phone ensure that the players wouldn't touch it by mistake? And even if they didn't accidentally touch it, who could stand the fact that the players had to move and farm at least a few hundred times in a game?
These problems that Chen Mo already had a clear solution to were completely unknown to the other designers. Even if they tried to port it to the mobile platform, they would at least need a decent solution.
Therefore, this plan could be considered, but it would inevitably be delayed.
After a long discussion, the most reliable way was to make a game on the PC side first to curb the current popularity of League of Legends. Even if it couldn't completely take over the market share, it could at least ride on the coattails of the game, and it would be easier to understand the inner qualities of such games.
After all, Chen Mo had all the algorithms and data for League of Legends, which were crucial for the promotion and improvement of the game. Without the data, it would be difficult to understand the players 'tastes, and it would be impossible to make a truly dominant game.
Emperor dynasty entertainment and fantasy gaming platform's staff had a few emergency meetings to decide on a strategy for after the new year.
Firstly, Emperor dynasty entertainment would urge the GA to make changes to the game, which currently looked like it had the highest completion rate, to better adapt to the habits of domestic users and improve the low retention rate.
Of course, there was a high chance that the GA would ignore them, and Emperor dynasty entertainment couldn't do anything about that. After all, they were only agents.
Secondly, Emperor dynasty entertainment would be developing a new game, ancient catastrophe, using Jin jieguang's experience report as a model to completely simplify League of Legends 'game mode, hoping to poach the players from League of Legends.
After all, League of Legends was much simpler than COG, and the effect was immediate. Lin chaoxu also hoped that the simplified "ancient catastrophe" could turn the tables.
Of course, Emperor dynasty entertainment didn't have that many resources. In order to fully develop the new game,S "'s development plan was temporarily put on hold, which meant that it was the first game to be eliminated.
As this was an FPS game, it was already difficult to make both PC and VR games. At the moment, it did not seem to be competitive at all, so it could only be put aside for the time being.
Other than that, ZEN Entertainment's three realms would continue to develop.
From Lin chaoxu's point of view, the way to play COG was too complicated. After the players had gotten used to playing League of Legends, it would be difficult to get used to it again. Moreover, the GA side was very uncooperative, so he didn't have much hope.
On the other hand, three realms was a traditional MMORPG. Even if they were innovative, they wouldn't be able to change much. Against the impact of a new game like League of Legends, there wasn't much hope either.
From the looks of it, this simplified version of ancient catastrophe had the highest chance of turning the tables.

Chapter 327: Chapter 326-
Very quickly, Emperor dynasty entertainment received a reply from the GA. Regarding the information on League of Legends provided by Emperor dynasty entertainment as well as suggestions for subsequent modifications to COG, the GA attached great importance to it. Clive Ramon personally replied, but still didn't reveal much of his intention to modify it.
"I understand your philosophy very well. If League of Legends really gets such a high retention rate, then it's really bad news for cog."
"However, I still believe that the key to this game is its complexity and diversity. While it's true that simplifying operations can make it easier for more people to get used to it, it's very likely to damage the fun of the game itself and exhaust the vitality of the game in advance.
"For a game, the difficulty determines its audience, but the depth and complexity of the game skills determine its competitiveness and upper limit. I think the simplicity of League of Legends is a short-sighted act, and we need to be careful about whether it's reasonable or not. "
"Of course, I will also seriously consider your suggestions and adjust the difficulty of some heroes. Once again, thank you for your strong support in the promotion of cog."
Lin chaoxu sighed after reading Clive Larman's reply. It was clear that Clive Larman was moved and rejected. Even though Emperor dynasty entertainment provided detailed experience reports and game data for the GA, Clive Larman still stood by his point of view.
Of course, he understood the importance of simplifying games for promotion, but he was right. Games that were too simple would make the game lose its depth. Those relatively popular games in the e-sports field, such as FPS and RTS, had extremely deep game depth. He had never heard of casual mobile games turning into e-sports.
Lin chaoxu understood that Clive Larman was a rather arbitrary person. He had a strong sense of confidence in his own designs, which was a common problem for many genius designers. Maybe there would be some simplifications in COG, but it would definitely not be as simple as League of Legends.
Lin chaoxu was a little disappointed, but he quickly accepted the situation.
That's good too, since Emperor dynasty entertainment had already decided to make ancient catastrophe and had a simplified version of League of Legends, it wasn't a bad idea to keep COG complex and competitive.
They would release both games at the same time, and they would just use the one that succeeded.
……
After the new year, League of Legends continued to be popular.
...
A special name quickly spread among the players, and many players began to call League of Legends '"lol" in short.
The abbreviation came from a Weibo post by Chen Mo.
"The overseas version of League of Legends is currently in development, and the English name will be LEAGUE OF LEGENDS, which will be called LOL in short. What should we call it in Chinese?"
Under this Weibo post, many players had the mentality of watching a show and not minding the big picture, leaving comments one after another. They also used various nicknames.
Like "British Alliance","Alliance" and so on, but the one that received the most praise was still a harmonious name in the English reincarnation: "Shua! Shua!"
Soon, this nickname spread quickly among the players, and "play two games of League of Legends" was naturally referred to as "play two games" or "play two games" by many.
Although this name seemed a little vulgar at the beginning, its appearance had a huge impact on the spread of League of Legends.
Although the name League of Legends was very formal, it wasn't enough to show all the characteristics of the game.
"LOL" was an English abbreviation for "laugh out loud". It was a habitual use, so it had a great advantage in foreign countries.
However, the Chinese name of League of Legends had always been missing a very simple and easy to remember name. If it was shortened to "British Alliance" or "League of Legends" according to the custom, it sounded like a very formal international organization, not like a game.
The appearance of "lol" solved this problem very well. This abbreviation fit the relatively young player base of League of Legends very well, and a more down to earth name helped to quickly gather popularity. So in a very short time, it spread throughout the entire League of Legends player base, and even many people who didn't play this game knew the name.
The second creations of some video authors, such as a certain video column "quick news from the kun altar", also allowed this name to spread even faster.
While League of Legends became popular, various live streamers and video UP Masters also played a role in adding fuel to the fire.
At present, there were three or four League of Legends streamers with millions of viewers in China, and there were also several popular video series.
Some of the talented players who had quickly reached diamond or were even trying to become Kings in the ranking competition started to stream, and they quickly gathered a lot of popularity.
Of course, this was mainly because of Chen Mo's good start. During Chen Mo's stream, the streamers, viewers, and streaming platforms all saw the potential of League of Legends. After Chen Mo stopped streaming, the viewers had nowhere to go, and soon, a few big streamers with millions of viewers were born.
All the major streaming platforms were also trying to find some potential players and raise the price of League of Legends streamers. Even some streamers of other games began to switch to League of Legends.
In terms of video, there were already three well-known video programs in the country, namely "quick news of the kun altar","weekly God show", and "LOL: a collection of scammers".
These three video programs were all in different directions.
"Kun altar quick news" mainly shared and introduced the latest news, version changes, and information on new heroes in "League of Legends".
"Weekly God show" was a collection of exciting videos and high-end operations.
"LOL: scammers" was a collection of players 'scamming and funny plays, which were mainly taken from low-end games.
As the saying goes,"the early bird gets the worm," it was the same in any field. The emergence of a new game had changed the entire circle of streamers and video authors. These pioneers had a sharper sense of smell and were the first to launch content targeted at the new game. This made it easier for them to get the meat of the game first in the rapidly changing environment.
It was a win-win situation for the streamer, the video author, and the game itself.
……
As for Chen Mo, he started to focus on the new expansion and the overseas version.
At present, all the work in League of Legends was on the right track, and it was sweeping across the entire PC circle at an extremely fast speed in the country. The player base had shown a trend of automatic expansion.
In terms of promotion, as long as the original promotion plan was maintained and the current growth momentum was maintained, it would be fine.
At this stage, marketing methods were no longer important. The key was to maintain the game's stickiness to the players and constantly release new content.

Chapter 328: The holographic projection competition
In Chen Mo's previous life, fist's strategy for League of Legends was very simple, it was to rely on its terrifying update speed.
In the first beta version of League of Legends (2009), there were only 22 Champions. In the next six months, fist maintained the speed of updating one to two new champions every two weeks. By the end of the first season, which was the end of November, he had updated 87 Champions in two years.
Furthermore, after entering Season 2 and Season 3,'fist' basically maintained this high-speed update state, steadily updating a new champion every two to one months. There were also some classic Champions such as Lee Sin, Orianna, and Zed.
It was because of this high update speed that League of Legends was able to maintain its appeal to the players, and its popularity continued to increase.
In Chen Mo's previous life, Overwatch's popularity had dropped, partly because of its slow updates. It only updated a new hero and a new map every half a year, which was not enough to satisfy the needs of the players.
Of course, different types of games would have different difficulties in creating heroes, and the speed required to create heroes would also be different. However, the problem was that the players didn't care about the difficulty of the game. They only cared about the speed of the update and whether there was new content to play.
The updates were too slow? "Bye, I'm going to play other games."
As such, Chen Mo was very concerned about the speed of the new heroes 'updates. To him, speed was the most important.
It was a good thing that developing new heroes was relatively easy. After determining the hero's image, skills, and numerical strength, developing new heroes was no more than an assembly line project, and Chen Mo didn't have to keep an eye on it.
The game could only get on the right track faster if the number of heroes was quickly spread out. When the number of heroes reached about 100, this speed could be slowed down.
……
Other than that, they were also preparing for the International Version of League of Legends.
League of Legends had basically crushed COG in the country. Even if COG made adjustments in time, it was almost impossible to overtake League of Legends.
...
But in the International market, the players had yet to experience the fun of League of Legends. If COG beat them to it, it would be bad for Chen Mo's future plans.
Although League of Legends would still capture the majority of the players even at night, being a step slower would result in a group of die-hard fans for COG, which was an unnecessary loss for Chen Mo.
Therefore, Chen Mo had been urging meteorite technology to finish the overseas version as soon as possible.
With the experience from Warcraft and Diablo, it wasn't difficult to make the International Version of League of Legends.
Especially in League of Legends, there weren't that many lines and plots, and there wasn't a need to be careful with the words, so it was much easier to do.
It was expected that the multi-language version of League of Legends would be completed by the end of April at the earliest, and it would be released in various countries and regions.
However, unlike Warcraft and Diablo, the server requirements this time were much higher. According to Chen Mo's request, if the server delay was limited to within 10ms, it would be impossible to create the same server across the world, and they would have to set up the server by region.
Even in terms of the network speed of the parallel world, making a global server within 10 ms was too fantasy.
Moreover, Chen Mo didn't plan on making a global server, this was for Future Strategic Planning.
In terms of setting up the server, Chen Mo first considered three areas: The American, European, and Korean servers. These three regions had the most players, and their gaming skills and financial ability were good. They were the three regions that needed to be considered.
The division competition zone would have some influence, such as the lack of communication between the divisions, different tactical preferences, and the widening of the gap in strength.
Chen Mo's previous life was a good example. The division system caused the teams in the different divisions to lack communication, which led to the gap between the different divisions. Every year in the S series World Tournament, the divisions would reveal their true colors, and it was difficult to stimulate the players to feel the glory of the division.
In the competition area, it was a fight between the gods and they felt good about themselves. Once they revealed their true colors in the world competition, they would be crushed by the other competition areas. This was really sad for the players.
However, there were many benefits to this. The biggest benefit was that they could hide the strength of the major divisions. On the one hand, it ensured the popularity of the local league, and on the other hand, it gave players some anticipation before the world competition started.
It was precisely because everyone was not clear about the strength of the competition before the start of the World competition that they had a sense of anticipation.
As for the Korean server's rule over LOL in Chen Mo's previous life, there were many complicated factors involved. There were problems with the characteristics of League of Legends itself, the esports industry, club management, and the overall environment.
Chen Mo also hoped to change the game's characteristics so that each division could present their own characteristics, instead of unifying the world with one playstyle.
Of course, this was a story for the future. First, he had to make League of Legends popular around the world.
……
In the experience store.
The PC experience area had almost been completely occupied by League of Legends, and there were very few players who played other games.
Moreover, the entire PC experience area was very lively, just like the internet cafes in his previous life. There were players shouting everywhere.
"Beat this demoness to death!"
"Teemo is in the grass. He doesn't dare to move. Kill him!"
[Hahaha, I've outdone the Vagabond!]
"Save me!"
Although it was a little noisy, it was fine as long as the players were happy. Moreover, when the entire PC area was noisier, there was a honey-like atmosphere, which made everyone particularly high.
The holographic projection area on the second floor of the experience store was even more popular than the PC experience area on the first floor.
The earliest audience had already surrounded the holographic projector, while the later ones had taken the seats next to it and the massage chairs in the mobile experience area. Those who were later could only stand at the entrance and watch.
It was all because Chen Mo had announced that there would be a League of Legends match in the holographic projection area.
Many players had seen the holographic projector, and it was very interesting. But playing League of Legends with the holographic projector? He really had not seen it before.
The maintenance of holographic projection equipment was more troublesome, so it had always been open at fixed intervals, and not everyone could play it. The players were all excited when they heard that they were going to play League of Legends with a holographic projector.
There were also many players who had heard the news and rushed over by train in advance.
The players were ready in the two small soundproof rooms.
These ten players were selected from the PC experience area, and even the worst one was at Diamond 5. Chen Mo split them into two teams according to their rank and position, playing the red and blue teams.
Today's match was a BO3, with two wins out of three. The five winning players would each receive a Katarina figurine, while the five losing players would each receive a Teemo's hat.

Chapter 329: Completely immersed in the competition experience
Not only the holographic projection, but there was also a large LED screen in the viewing area. This large screen would also be live-streamed together with the holographic projection. With the excellent sound effects, the atmosphere in the viewing area would definitely be very explosive.
The banning phase for the blue and purple teams had ended and they were loading into the game.
The spectating and commentary were all done by Chen Mo himself, firstly because the others didn't understand the game well enough and weren't eloquent enough, so he was the only one who could do it. Secondly, it was the first match in the holographic projection area, so it was quite memorable.
One hero after another appeared on the summoner's platform behind the crystal hub, and the game officially began.
"Alright, the match has officially begun. First, let's take a look at the lineup of both teams. The blue team has lava beast, Gragas, Twisted Fate, Vayne and Lulu. The purple team has Weapon Master, clown, Kassadin, Ezreal, and Blitzcrank."
"The blue team's current level one team strategy is to protect their jungle. This is also a popular way of playing in high-end games of the stairway tree."
"The purple team has chosen to invade the jungle under the leadership of the Blitzcrank, but the blue team is doing well. There are no kills on either side."
All the audience's attention was focused on the holographic projection equipment and the LED screen.
The three holographic projectors were showing completely different content.
The largest holographic projection in the center showed the entire Summoner's Rift, including the crystal hubs, towers, and the positions of all the heroes of the blue and purple teams.
Summoner's Rift was square in shape, which fit perfectly with the holographic projection device. All players could clearly see the entire Summoner's Rift through the holographic projection device.
Gragas was currently taking the blue BUFF on his side.
The clown used the crate to quickly get rid of the red BUFF and went to the top jungle to find an opportunity to catch the lava monster. He was hiding in the bushes, waiting for an opportunity.
...
In the middle lane, Twisted Fate and Kassadin were developing peacefully. Twisted Fate was trying his best to exhaust them while Kassadin was carefully farming.
At the bottom lane, the blue and purple team's duo had already engaged in a fierce battle. After exchanging several Summoner skills, they retreated with low health and continued to farm.
Under the holographic projection, all the heroes, monsters, and buildings were displayed in 3d. The audience had a 45-degree God's perspective, which was very comfortable. They could also adjust the viewing angle at will, which was a unique style.
Some of the beautiful special effects of the skills were also displayed very well, making the audience excited.
The other two size holographic projectors were showing the first-person perspective of the players on both sides.
The player's hero was in the center of the screen, and the camera moved with the hero. The perspective would change every once in a while, from the mid-laner to the jungler to the bottom lane. The two devices showed the blue and purple teams respectively, so that players could better see the details of the battle.
The big LED screen also showed the battle situation from an observer's perspective, which was exactly the same as League of Legends in his previous life.
With Chen Mo's well-thought-out and well-timed commentary, the audience was extremely excited.
"Wow, isn't this holographic projection too high? It's so cool, I can see the whole battlefield!"
"It's so exciting. It's like watching a real battle."
"And the big screen is great. With the sound effects, it's even more comfortable than a movie theater!"
"Yeah, I don't think we've played games like this before."
"There are some, but their influence is too small. They're all just for self-entertainment. And those games don't support this kind of play. I can only say that League of Legends is perfect for this holographic projection device, even the map is square!"
"That's amazing! I think watching the competition is much more interesting than playing the game by myself!"
"The manager's commentary is good. Watching the game and listening to the commentary is such an enjoyment."
Soon, the players 'enthusiasm was aroused.
When a fierce group battle broke out, everyone was extremely nervous. They held their breath as they observed the battle, afraid of missing every detail. In the team battle, the audience was shocked and cheered loudly when they saw the players 'wonderful operation. They burst into laughter when they saw the players 'ridiculous actions ...
The entire second floor of the experience store was immersed in the atmosphere of the competition, just like the League of Legends competition in Chen Mo's previous life. There were even people who were cheering so hard that their voices were hoarse.
Fortunately, the experience store had considered this point when it was being renovated. The sound insulation on the second floor was very good, so it wouldn't disturb the people.
The three matches, plus the break between matches, lasted for a total of three hours. In the end, the blue team won. Five people got Catarina's figurine, while the purple team lost and got Teemo's hat.
The players came out of the soundproof room, all of them still wanting more.
The players on both sides didn't know each other before, but after the match, they had a sense of appreciation for each other. They all exchanged contact information and arranged a time to play together.
There were also many spectators who surrounded them and asked them about their feelings of playing in the soundproof room.
"Wow, it's so different from playing games. I'm so nervous! We were shouting so loudly in the soundproof room that our throats were hoarse. "
"The pressure is really great. Although I can't hear the sounds outside clearly in the soundproof room, I can't help but feel nervous when I see so many people outside. I feel like my operation is a little out of place."
"I'm so tired. I feel like I'm about to collapse."
"One's mind will be highly focused. One really won't feel anything other than the game and will be completely immersed. If you die in a ranked game, you can still drink some water, but this won't do. Even if you die, you have to constantly observe the situation in the field and don't dare to relax for a moment. "
"The previous wave felt like it was going to die, but we kept encouraging each other and said that it was fine. In the end, our jungler snatched the Dragon. At that time, we almost shouted like crazy, it was so exciting!"
The audience was not satisfied and did not want to leave at all. They were all asking for another round.
Chen Mo saw that everyone was so enthusiastic, so he thought about it and said,""How about this, in the future, every weekend, the holographic projection equipment will be automatically open, and I will arrange for someone to organize the competition. As for the selection ... The selection will be done on Monday to Friday. Those who are interested can sign up. "
"I'll take my leave today. I've been commentating for several hours and my voice is hoarse. If you want to play holographic projection, then continue. In the future, we'll change it to a fixed time every weekend. Just come on time. "
Chen Mo called over the receptionist on the second floor and gave her a brief explanation. She was in charge of the registration, selection, and competition after the players formed their own teams.
As for the commentary, Chen Mo had no idea yet, so he was thinking of picking a few good players from the experience store and training them one by one. After all, this wasn't an official competition. It was more like an Experience Store event for the players to have fun. It didn't have to be too professional; it was just for the players to fully participate.

Chapter 330: Welcome to the delai Alliance
After arranging the matches in the holographic projection area, Chen Mo returned to his studio on the fourth floor.
For a competitive game like League of Legends, the hosting of large-scale competitions was a very important part of the promotion process, and it had to be planned in advance.
However, there were still too few Champions in League of Legends. If they were to host a Pro League, the balance and wattiness would definitely be reduced. Chen Mo had too many things on hand to do at the moment.
Therefore, he decided to do it in the experience store first to gain some experience. After he was done with the overseas version, the Champions in League of Legends would gradually increase, and he could then start to arrange the official competition.
Seeing Chen Mo, Qian Kun quickly went up to him,""Manager, I've finished reading the plan for the new update. However, you wrote that the April Fool's event is to be confirmed. When will it be confirmed?"
"Hmm ..." Chen Mo thought for a moment."I'll do it by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. You guys finish the new hero first."
"Alright," he said. Qian Kun nodded and went back to work.
The next version update was scheduled for April 1st, which was April Fool's Day.
It had only been a month and a half since the new update was released during the spring Festival. It was a little rushed, but Chen Mo wanted to make use of every Festival as much as possible. If the new hero was released at the same time as the festival events, it would be more effective.
The five heroes in this update were: The will of the blade, Arelia, Lee Sin, Orianna, honor executioner, Draven, and the goddess of dawn, leona.
Obviously, this was a gathering of troublemaking heroes, and Chen Mo's attitude was clear,"players, please show off and start your performance!"
Moreover, these five heroes were all very classic evergreen heroes, and their characteristics were very obvious.
Saber sister, who was still very fun even after being slashed countless times.
...
One of the most fun heroes in the entire league, the blind man known as the little monk.
10,000-year middle lane spare tire clockwork.
One knife for one child, Draven.
Brainless support Japanese.
If these five Champions were to go on stage together, it would probably be too beautiful to look at.
At the same time, there would be a special April Fool's Day event: Welcome to the delai Alliance.
Apart from the April Fool's Day event in League of Legends, Chen Mo also planned to make a 'heartwarming' game to purify everyone's hearts.
……
The popularity of League of Legends continued throughout March, allowing Chen Mo's Thunderbolt gaming platform to gain an advantage in the competition.
The collaboration between Emperor dynasty entertainment and fantasy gaming platform combined the domestic distribution channels to a certain extent, which was bad news for Thunderbolt gaming platform. Many players and designers were waiting to see who would win.
However, after League of Legends gradually showed its dominance on the PC side, the situation was gradually becoming clear.
Although the joint platform of Emperor dynasty and fantasy still controlled most of the domestic resources and players, Chen Mo's Thunderbolt gaming platform could compete with them with just League of Legends.
Moreover, if Emperor dynasty and divine fantasy couldn't find a good way to fight against League of Legends, they would basically lose.
It was like hitting Hearthstone. Although you had a lot of health, if the other party had a 10-to-10 servant that you couldn't kill, it would be very awkward.
Everyone in Emperor dynasty entertainment was very nervous. Ancient catastrophe had already entered the intense development phase, and this game was also seen as the biggest hope to defeat League of Legends.
In order to speed up the development process, many existing rules and designs from COG were used during the development of "the ancient catastrophe." However, they were completely simplified and the packaging changed. From a Western fantasy theme, they changed it to a slightly China Style ancient theme.
Emperor dynasty entertainment even had the intention of working with some God-level web novelists to release literary works that linked the ancient catastrophe to increase the topic of the game.
Everyone knew very well that the competition between channels would inevitably become a competition between products. Whichever channel's product could reach a dominant position would occupy the absolute leading power.
If Emperor dynasty and divine fantasy couldn't make a game that could stop League of Legends, their distribution channels would be slowly devoured by Thunderbolt gaming platform. It was only a matter of time.
……
April 1st, April Fool's Day.
Just past midnight, Chen Mo posted a long Weibo.
"League of Legends will be updated today. The content of the update is as follows."
" 1. The primary school student logo is about to go online: Based on the data mining function of cloud computing, we have a 96.43% probability of determining whether a player is a primary school student. Once the judgment is successful, we will prepare a special 'red scarf' icon for the player. Players will be able to see the logo in the game. I hope that everyone can play with a more tolerant attitude. "
" 2. New heroes: there will be 35 new heroes in this update. They are the will of the blade, Arelia, Lee Sin, Orianna, the goddess of dawn, leona, and the 31 glorious executioners, Draven.
[ 3. New event: welcome to the delai Alliance, and delai Wen's April Fool's skin: 'Drade, drade, Draven. (This also includes various icons and guard skins)"
"Thunderbolt gaming platform will be releasing a new mini-game for healing,'excavate for Ascension'. It's completely free and suitable for the masses: Players with bad hands and bad tempers will feel a sense of healing after playing it. Please download it. "
There were also pictures. The first picture was on the battle settlement interface of League of Legends. There was a player with a red scarf icon behind his name, marked as an elementary school student by the system.

Mixed in with a bunch of fake April Fool's news, Chen Mo's post looked ... Hard to distinguish.
Everyone was clear that this Weibo post was posted on April Fool's Day, so there must be some fake news, but they couldn't figure out which one was fake at the moment.
The players all left messages.
"You purposely chose to post this on April Fool's Day. Don't you think that it's not credible at all?!"
"And 'cloud computing data mining function'? I don't believe a single punctuation mark! If you have the ability, mark me as an elementary school student!"
"Did an elementary school student eat your rice?"
"Clap! I've already said that the primary school students in the ranking matches should have been taught a lesson. With this rule, the primary school students have nowhere to hide. It's really satisfying!"

"It's all fake news indeed. 35 new heroes at once? You can't do it even if your liver explodes?"
" 31 glorious executioner Draven? What the hell is this, 31 repeat heroes?"
"This new event ... Looks like it's real."
