95: Section 95

The second and third brothers immediately teamed up and started matching.

For the next few hours, the two of them were completely immersed in the world of Honor of Kings.

They didn't put down their phones until noon, but the eldest brother, who had been playing Dota Mobile for half a day, couldn't hold back.

“You two, is this game really that fun?”

“You both played Dota Mobile for two rounds and then uninstalled it, but you’ve been playing this game all morning.”

“Come on, let’s go eat.”

Hearing the eldest brother's voice, both of them almost simultaneously shook their heads.

“We’re not going down, eldest brother, just bring us some food.”

Seeing their actions, the eldest brother was also a little puzzled.

“Is this game really that fun?”

Seeing the eldest brother say that, the third brother immediately recommended it.

“This game is much more interesting than dota mobile game. Eldest brother, hurry up and join us. We’ll form the Three Musketeers.”

After the third brother finished speaking, the eldest brother firmly shook his head.

“No.”

“This kind of inferior game can’t attract my interest. If I’m going to play, I’ll only play Dota Mobile. Dota Mobile is the king!”

“Eldest brother, just try it first. If you play two rounds and don’t think it’s fun, I’ll treat you to a meal!” the second brother said.

Hearing the second brother say that, the eldest brother also put down his reserve and started downloading Honor of Kings.

Not long after, looking at the Honor of Kings login interface, the eldest brother still looked disdainful.

“This game clearly isn’t good.”

“Even if I play some casual mini-games, I would never like this game.”

“Don’t forget to treat me to a meal.”

A few hours later.

“Hehe.”

“Honor of Kings is so fun.”

“I’m going to top up money to buy skins!”

.

Within just a few hours of Honor of Kings’s public beta, the number of registered players had already exceeded one million.

Although this number was still far less than Dota Mobile, it was already a very good achievement.

Moreover, most players quickly discovered after entering Honor of Kings that, apart from both being MOBA types, this game and dota mobile game were almost worlds apart!

The simplicity of various operations made the game’s thrill more than one order of magnitude higher than dota mobile game.

If Dota Mobile hadn't been released before, many people probably wouldn't have felt the difference between the two and wouldn't have thought Honor of Kings’s operations were that good.

But you have to know.

The player base downloading Honor of Kings now had basically all tried dota mobile game in the previous two months.

Compared to the two, Honor of Kings’s advantage of simple operation immediately became apparent.

Performing various complex operations in Dota on a mobile phone was already very difficult, requiring full attention to all aspects.

Even if an allied minion was about to die, you had to pay attention.

But the logic of Honor of Kings was almost completely opposite to Dota. You didn't need to pay attention to last hitting, because even if you missed, you still got gold.

You didn't need to consider when to recall to buy equipment, because you could buy it anytime.

You didn't need to worry too much about controlling your health, because there were health packs under the tower.

The only thing you needed to pay attention to was the enemy hero, and then there was only one word left.

That was to fight.

Compared to the complexity of Dota Mobile, Honor of Kings could basically be described as mindless fighting.

And the thrill generated by such frequent fighting and team battles was completely incomparable to dota mobile game.

Therefore.

Although the number of registered users on the first day of Honor of Kings’s public beta was not large, and it did not cause any fluctuations in Dota Mobile’s users.

Almost half of the players who experienced Honor of Kings chose to uninstall Dota Mobile.

And the average playtime of these players on that day was also quite high.

However.

Because this number was not large at the moment, it did not have any impact on Dota Mobile.

No one within Penguin Group realized the threat of Honor of Kings.

And after Honor of Kings officially launched its public beta, three days quickly passed.

During these three days, due to Douyin’s aggressive promotion and marketing of Honor of Kings, the number of registered players for Honor of Kings reached five million.

While this player count was still far from Dota Mobile’s thirty million on its first day, for a company that had never developed games before, it was already a quite impressive achievement.

However, currently, almost everyone believed that Honor of Kings’s player count reaching five million was due to Douyin, and it would definitely decline gradually afterward.

Only those who had played Honor of Kings knew how fun this game was.

But their opinions were basically overshadowed by the statements of fifty-million-level Dota Mobile players.

So even though it had been in public beta for three days, no one had yet realized the threat of Honor of Kings to Dota Mobile.

At the same time, within the mobile game department of Penguin Group, in a certain office.

Ma Liuyun and others were thinking about how to increase the revenue of dota mobile game, and everyone proposed different solutions.

Almost no one in the room paid attention to Honor of Kings, which had launched its public beta three days ago.

After finalizing several solutions that could increase revenue, the high-level executives finally prepared to rest.

“By the way.”

“I heard that the number of registered players for Honor of Kings has reached five million. Is that true?”

Ma Liuyun asked after sitting down.

Li Wenqiu, next to him, nodded.

“That data is true, but these players were basically diverted by Douyin to download and register for the game. The actual number of active users is definitely much lower than that.”

“Otherwise, Honor of Kings wouldn’t only announce the number of registered players and not active players.”

Listening to Li Wenqiu's words, Ma Liuyun also nodded.

But his next sentence made Li Wenqiu’s expression turn quite ugly.

“I just didn’t expect that Douyin’s potential is even more exaggerated than we estimated. It’s already the number one national software, and its user base is still increasing.”

“If your Micro Look hadn’t lost back then, perhaps we would be enjoying the short video software dividends now!”

Facing Ma Liuyun’s reprimand, Li Wenqiu could only nod helplessly.

Ma Liuyun, who was beside him, also laughed.

“If I had been in charge of Micro Look back then, I probably would have already trampled Douyin underfoot.”

Listening to the mobile game department head’s remarks, Li Wenqiu really wanted to explain that Wang Mo’s ability was truly beyond what ordinary people could compare to.
