Chapter 23 A Day Without Guests

Chen Mo sat at the bar on the first floor so that he could see the guests outside the store at any time.

Chen Mo also moved the laptop to the bar. Without the customers, he continued to play "Plant vs. Zombies" to see if there were any areas that needed modification.

Chen Mo's game has been developed for more than three months, from the end of August to December, and it is almost winter.

The weather outside is getting colder, and pedestrians are full of trousers and jackets. The weather today is pretty good, there is no wind, and it is very suitable for travel.

Chen Mo played "Plant vs. Zombies" for an hour, but found nothing wrong. He stood up and walked on the first floor of the experience store.

It hurts a little if there is no customer.

Chen Mo opened a can of Coke and sat back to the bar again.

At this time, he remembered that "flappybird" had passed the free period, and from now on he could officially hang this game on the application market.

Chen Mo plans to let "flappybird" and "Plant vs. Zombies" be launched together, and then use the advertising space of "flappybird" to promote "Plant vs. Zombies".

In fact, the most popular period of "flappybird" was the few months it just appeared. Now three months have passed. Many players who are interested in this game have played it, and the popularity has gradually faded and it is impossible to keep playing it. So now that it is online, "flappybird" should not make much money.

As for how much money Chen Mo missed, it is hard to estimate, because in the free trial stage, all the game data is on the side of the competition organizer, and Chen Mo himself doesn't know how many advertisements "flappybird" have produced.

"Forget it, just think it's accumulating character."

Although I felt that I missed hundreds of millions, Chen Mo was relieved quickly and there were still many opportunities to make money in the future, so I was not in a hurry.

At this moment, a girl came to the door of the experience store and looked around.

This girl is dressed casually, with a thin coat and jeans. She looks a little older than Chen Mo. She looks about 26 years old, she is pretty and has a long ponytail, giving people a relatively neutral feeling and is very capable.

Chen Mo greeted: "Hello."

The girl stood at the door and looked at the signboard of the experience store, and then looked at the configuration inside the store: "Are you a game designer? Is this a game experience store?"

Chen Mo nodded: "Yes."

The girl patted her chest and said, "Oh, that's good. I thought it was a new Internet cafe before, so I was so nervous for a long time."

Chen Mo: "?"

The girl walked into the store and explained: "Oh, I'm the boss of the 'Zhiyuan Internet Cafe' on the corner, here to spy on the enemy's situation."

Damn, I'm not a player, I'm a peer!

Chen Mo was also a little speechless. This girl was running an Internet cafe herself, so she definitely didn't come to experience the game. She just wanted to see if her store was an Internet cafe or a experience store, and whether she would steal her business.

The girl smiled a little apologized: "I'm sorry, but since you are not an Internet cafe, but an experience store, it doesn't matter. We will be neighbors in the future, so we can walk around more."

Internet cafes and experience stores have similar functions, but in fact there is no direct competitive relationship. Because in the experience store, players can only play the designer's works, which is equivalent to getting the first experience.

Designers generally do not play other games, and players are not allowed to play other games in the experience store.

Chen Mo nodded: "It's okay, you can come and sit at any time. I shouldn't have too many guests."

"Okay." The girl was really gone. She sat on the sofa and opened a can of Coke.

Chen Mo said: "Uh... this drink is not free."

The girl put the Coke back: "Sorry, I'm used to taking it in my own store, hehe."

The girl looked at the layout of the hall: "Your experience store is quite spacious, just put in just a few machines? It's a bit of a waste."

Chen Mo said: "Well, the experience store is mainly for players to experience, not for profit, so the layout is a little looser."

The girl said, "It's pretty good. I envy you tall designers. Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Zhuo Yao."

Chen Mo said, "Happy, my name is Chen Mo. I have a new game that has not been launched yet. Do you want to play it?"

Zhuo Yao waved her hand: "No, I have something to do with my Internet cafe. I took the time to sneak out. I'll come over to play some other day."

Chen Mo nodded: "Okay, welcome anytime."

Zhuo Yao stood up and was about to leave. Suddenly she thought of something and asked, "How much does it cost per hour?"

Chen Mo said: "Five dollars."

Zhuo Yao said in surprise: "Isn't it a bit expensive? My Internet cafe lobby area is only four yuan. You are a new experience store, so there should be only two or three games, right?"

Chen Mo said: "There is only one game for the time being."

Zhuo Yao reminded: "I think you should set the price slightly lower, it's okay to have free ones. You are a experience store and you don't need to consider profitability. Your price is a bit... not very affordable."

Chen Mo smiled and said, "I understand, I will consider it."

Zhuo Yao nodded: "Okay, then I'll leave first, come and visit you another day. Come on, come and develop a popular game as soon as possible, and my Internet cafe can also benefit from it."

Chen Mo smiled and said, "It's easy to say."

After seeing off Zhuo Yao, Chen Mo's experience store returned to a deserted state.

Chen Mo is not in a hurry. Experience stores like this need to be accumulated. Chen Mo has not done any publicity, so it is normal for no one to come to him.

If you want to talk about the location, the location of the experience store is neither good nor bad. The location is indeed a bit off, but there is a community nearby, and there is a university even further away, so there is a lot of people.

After waiting for another half an hour, a second guest came.

This guy's hair is a little oily and his eyes are a little unconscious. He seems to be not awake too much. He looks like he is an Internet-addicted boy.

He came to the door of the experience store, glanced at the sign of the "Thunder Game Experience Store", and said to himself: "Thunder Game, I haven't heard of it."

The guy looked into the store again and asked Chen Mo: "I said, is this a trial store? Not an Internet cafe?"

Chen Mo nodded: "Well, it's not an Internet cafe."

"Oh." The boy who was addicted to the Internet was a little disappointed. Obviously, he was looking for an Internet cafe. Although he could also play games in the experience store, he could only play games from this company, and there were too few games.

What's more, I haven't heard of this company.

The Internet-addicted boy hesitated for a moment and said to himself: "Forget it, there is no place for Internet cafes nearby, so why not just check out this one and pass the time."

He walked into the store, took out his ID card and cell phone: "Boss, how much does it cost for you an hour?"

Chen Mo said: "Five dollars."

The Internet-addicted boy was stunned: "What? Five dollars? Uh... forget it."

The internet-addicted boy turned around and left.

“…”

Chen Mo was a little speechless. This guy is really straightforward! It doesn’t matter if you play for five dollars for an hour. As for turning your head and leaving?

Five dollars!

What can you do for five yuan these days? It’s just two popsicles!

It’s not enough for the first charge of the game, and the first charge of the game will cost six yuan!
