Chapter 334: Chapter 125: Firecrackers Announce the End of the Year, Colleagues Help Me Unfold Grand Plans! _2

In other words, they are selling something that should have been given to the players for free, in parts.

In the environment where Blue Star’s Draw Card System is highly developed, this has become quite commonplace.

Dismantling a six-fate seat is child’s play, but have you ever heard of the Hundred Fate Warrior God, the Thousand Fate God King?

And the unmatched Ten Thousand Fate Ancient Emperor of Blue Star!

Of course, ’Ten Thousand Fate Ancient Emperor’ is just a domestic player’s joke about the bottomless pit of the draw card limit.

It comes from a top-tier global game that ranks in the top 10, "Bug Tribe Legend" (appeared in Chapter 46)

The highest quality orange capsule in the game costs exactly 888 yuan each after the exchange rate is converted in Huaxia Nation.

And still, there’s a 30% chance that this orange capsule will produce an item of another quality.

The remaining 70% will have an even chance of dropping any orange bug.

For every duplicate one you open, it transforms into the "Wings of the Bug," enhancing the combat power of the original orange bug.

The current world record is held by a wealthy young man from an oil-rich country who wears a white turban, with a level increase of +8771.

Reportedly, he single-handedly sunk millions of dollars into the game and currently ranks first in the combined combat power rankings of "Bug Tribe Legend."

This goes to show that the poor development of Blue Star’s games isn’t limited to the Huaxia Nation alone.

It’s a global phenomenon.

The excellent matchmaking mechanism of Blue Star OL, that’s for certain.

However, the three big companies in the domestic game industry, in order to divide the market pie,

will suppress or block foreign gaming cultures to the greatest extent possible.

Such happenings are not uncommon on Earth but have become much more intense on Blue Star.

Popular foreign games have no way to break through the defenses in Huaxia Nation; they either have to be represented by big companies or be bought out entirely before they have a chance to launch domestically.

"But even if they do break in, they’ll just be another layer of cultural garbage..." Ke Jin harshly critiqued in his mind.

Of course, the gaming ecosystem in Huaxia Nation is gradually improving, which is something Ke Jin is pleased to see.

In addition to small and medium-sized companies starting to turn towards more in-depth independent games,

some big companies are also starting to probe the players’ preferences.

But the three giants have yet to show any signs of wanting to truly reform, even to this day.

Even if they are cursed from morning till night by players, they remain unmoved—bugs remain unfixed, and the draw card rates are not increased if it can be helped.

Anyway, my company is big and powerful, and the players have sunk costs that hold them here; coupled with my overwhelming promotional campaigns,

my billion-dollar promotional punches can sweep away any small company’s efforts.

Ke Jin also knows that it takes continuous effort to drill through three feet of ice; in an Earth where countless outstanding games are released, domestic giants struggle to change their greedy ways of making insane profits.

And that’s even more so for the deeply rooted capital forces on Blue Star.

Of course, Ke Jin’s advantages on Blue Star differ from those on Earth.

On Earth, the capital evolved alongside the industry.

On Blue Star, however, the game culture is barren.

If it is continuously hit by a large number of excellent games, the impact will be different from that of Earth’s game capital.

It’s like in a previous life when capital had evolved from playing with mud in primitive times, journeying with players through the Stone, Iron, Steam, Electric ages, and so on, constantly adapting to new strategies, precisely catching players’ inner limit of balance to maximize profits.

While on Blue Star, we’re still in the Stone Age, throwing stones at each other—unfamiliar with Iron, Steam, Electricity. And here comes Ke Jin, guided by Brother Tong Zi, hauling a downpour of two thousand droplets to strike.

The effect is extraordinary!

The shock brought about is naturally incomparable to any other.

Ke Jin is also confident that with one high-quality release after another, he can overturn the entire Blue Star gaming market and create an Eden that’s more suitable for players.

The year end is approaching, and a frigid winter sweeps across.

In addition to improving the overall quality of games,

the gaming industry has also experienced two small but hotly debated incidents within the last month.

The first one involved a judge raised by Tengjing. After the event, players uncovered his vile voting behavior during the art festival.

Normally, voting for anyone is a perfectly normal thing to do,

and officials usually don’t disclose judges’ voting details.

However, when an inquisitive netizen did the math,

they figured out that each judge could cast up to three votes per game,

implying that the perfect score for a game would be 27 votes.

Infinite received a total of 24 votes, which is exactly the lowest possible score from one judge—zero votes.

This immediately piqued the curiosity of netizens, who wanted to know which judge was so strict as to not give even a single point, curious to see what they considered a perfect piece of art in their eyes.

At first, many people didn’t think much of it.

Some even thought the curious netizens were just bored.

Because it could have been six judges giving three votes each, while the other three gave two votes each.

It could also be seven judges giving three votes each, and the remaining two giving two and one vote respectively.

The last possibility being eight judges awarding three votes each, with one judge giving zero votes.

There are three possibilities, and aside from the last one, which is quite extreme, the other two are plausible.

After all, no piece of cultural art can satisfy everyone’s standards.

But then, some well-fed netizens followed the trail and directly uncovered the small Weibo account of game judge Huang Guangxu.
