Most current mobile games are actually replicas of online and web games. They simply use the touch screen function as a computer mouse, but completely ignore the more possibilities hidden by the touch screen function.

In addition, Xu Niannian and Yu Youjia didn't play games very much. When they suddenly came into contact with a novel mobile game that featured touch-screen interaction, they naturally exclaimed how exciting it was and were immediately attracted to the game.

…

In the early morning of the 21st, Li Zhibin got up from the bed with dark circles under his eyes. After washing, he sat back on the chair and shook his head to wake himself up.

The roommate next to him saw his appearance and immediately laughed and said: "Brother Bin, did you do some crafts last night? Why are you in such a bad state of mind?"

"Go away." Li Zhibin scolded him with a smile, "I simply didn't sleep well and was just playing games."

"What game?" my roommate asked curiously, "Mobile games? What's so fun about that? Why don't we go to an Internet cafe to play hacker games after the military training is over?"

"You don't understand." Li Zhibin curled his lips, thinking that he was no longer the same as his roommate, and that he was pretending to be a sea of ​​stars.

But thinking that their game had just been put on the shelves, it would be better to have one more player, so Li Zhibin had an idea. Taking advantage of the early morning military training, he took out his mobile phone and opened Fruit Assassin. After opening it, he called his roommate to watch.

"How is it?" Li Zhibin introduced it to his roommate while operating it skillfully, "This game is pretty good, isn't it? It's very interesting."

"Holy shit, you can cut fruit by just swiping the screen?" The roommate took a look and was immediately attracted, "Pineapple Phone is awesome, can it achieve this kind of effect?"

The roommates in the dormitory usually don’t pay much attention to mobile games. Even if someone buys a smartphone, most of them use it to make calls. Most of them are used to playing games on the computer.

"Here, you can play with it too." Li Zhibin generously handed over the phone.

After my roommate took it, he was immediately addicted to it. He fired several times in a row. After he quickly got started, he couldn't help himself.

So Li Zhibin struck while the iron was hot and said from the side: "I remember you also have a pineapple phone, right? Why don't you get one yourself?"

"Okay." The roommate agreed, "Can I download it directly?"

"Uh... this is a game in the US. You have to register an account there first." Li Zhibin said quickly, "Then you have to go online and buy a gift card to redeem it. You can buy it for US$2.99."

roommate:"???"

"It's so troublesome for me to wipe it? And why do I need money?"

"People who make games rely on this to make money." Li Zhibin said matter-of-factly, "Otherwise, where will the money come from to make new games?"

"Then forget it." When the roommate heard that he had to spend money to buy it and had to go through such a long circle of operations, he immediately shook his head, "It's just such a small game. When I want to play, I can't just borrow your phone to play.

That’s it? Anyway, Brother Bin, you bought it all, so if I buy another one, wouldn’t it be a loss-making business?”

Li Zhibin: "..."

Listening to his roommate's words, Li Zhibin suddenly realized this problem that Xu Xing had been aware of for a long time.

At first he thought it wasn't too difficult, but after he recommended it to people around him, he realized how difficult it was.

2.99 US dollars does not sound expensive, but when converted into local currency, it is more than 20 yuan.

These days, it is estimated that not many people are willing to spend more than 20 yuan to buy a AAA masterpiece, let alone a lightweight mobile game like Fruit Assassin.

Thinking of this, Li Zhibin finally realized firsthand what a wise choice Xu Xing made to release the game to the US market.

If it were directly released to the domestic mobile game market in the form of a buyout system, I'm afraid it would be a sudden death...

After thoroughly understanding Xu Xing's thinking, Li Zhibin couldn't help but feel a little resentful.

He felt a little hot now when he thought about yesterday when he brazenly said that he would help him promote the school.

No wonder Xu Xing said that if he could attract one player, he would give him half of the selling price. This is simply not possible in China.

Unless he personally helps people register and pays for it from his own pocket, basically no one will be willing to go through such a big circle to download a small game.

And since he paid for it himself, wouldn’t that make it a loss-making business?

Li Zhibin was a little depressed. He suddenly felt the huge gap between himself and Xu Xing, and suddenly felt that being admitted to Beijing University was not something worth showing off.

…

At this time, Xu Xingcai had just gotten up from the bed. After washing up, he went to the cafeteria to have breakfast with his roommates. While drinking porridge, he took out his mobile phone and finally opened the App Store and took a look at the sales of Fruit Assassin.

Number of downloads: 5

Well...it's really miserable.

Xu Xing clicked to pay, and after confirming the download, he successfully changed the number to 6, then put the phone back into his pocket and ignored it.

Anyway, you haven’t been recommended yet, so don’t worry about anything. This kind of natural growth without exposure means nothing. You’ll see the real story after you get recommended.

So Xu Xing continued the military training step by step.

After the military training ended in the morning, the four people in the dormitory were walking to the cafeteria when they were suddenly stopped by Yan Chijue who came up from behind.

"Xu Xing."

Yan Chijue walked up to Xu Xing, glanced at the roommate next to him, then looked at him again, blinked and said without hesitation: "We agreed yesterday to lend me my mobile phone to play with. Let's have dinner together at noon."

"Okay." Xu Xing nodded and glanced in the direction of the playground gate. He didn't see Xu Niannian coming today, so he could use it as a wallet, "Let's go then."

What Xu Xing didn't know was that Xu Niannian didn't go to bed until three or four o'clock last night because he stayed up late playing Fruit Assassin. At this time, he was still lying on Yu Youjia's bed in the dormitory, fast asleep.

"Why can she ask Xu Xing to borrow it if she also has a Pineapple phone, but not me?" Looking at the retreating figures of the couple, Lu Pengyou was immediately aggrieved that he had arrived.

Zhang Nong was silent for a moment, and then said thoughtfully: "Brother Lu, is there a possibility that borrowing the mobile phone is just an excuse, and the real purpose is just to have lunch with Xu Xing?"
