[0013] By using the method provided by the embodiment of the present application, a computer device does not need to store a large amount of virtual resources corresponding to the purchase and sale of virtual pieces. Furthermore, the embodiment of the present application associates the virtual resource quantities between the purchase and sale of virtual pieces. When determining the quantity of discounted resources to purchase a virtual piece, the quantity of discounted resources to sell the virtual piece can also be determined, eliminating the need to occupy excessive storage space on the computer device. For example, if the quantity of discounted resources to purchase a virtual piece is 2 currencies, i.e., 2 currencies are saved when purchasing a virtual piece. In this case, the quantity of discounted resources corresponding to the sale of the virtual piece is also 2 currencies, i.e., 2 currencies are subtracted from the original number of currencies sold when the virtual piece is sold. The computer device only needs to store the original number of currencies sold corresponding to the virtual piece, and can further determine the actual number of currencies sold by selling the virtual piece based on the number of currencies saved when purchasing the virtual piece. The actual number of currencies sold is the original number of currencies sold minus the number of currencies saved when purchasing the virtual piece. By using the above solution, the computer device does not need to store the corresponding actual sales currency amounts under different purchasing situations of the virtual pieces, thereby achieving the effect of saving the storage space of the computer device.

[0015] First, the nouns involved in the embodiments of the present application will be briefly introduced.

[0016] Auto Chess: A general term for a type of electronic strategy turn-based board game. The basic game rules are that players select and combine different types of pieces by extracting pieces, then place them on their own chessboard. Finally, the system automatically battles with other players' pieces. The player whose pieces remain alive until the end wins the turn. The loser of each turn has a certain number of hit points deducted, and this process is repeated until only one player remains alive.

[0017] Chessboard: Refers to the area used for preparing for and playing a match in the Auto Chess game interface. It may be any of a 2D virtual chessboard, a 2.5D virtual chessboard, and a 3D virtual chessboard, but the present application does not limit this to this. The chessboard is divided into a match area and a battle preparation area. Here, the match area includes multiple battle grids of the same size, which are used to place battle pieces during the match process. The battle preparation area includes multiple battle preparation grids, which are used to place battle preparation pieces. These battle preparation pieces do not participate in the match during the match process, but can be dragged and placed in the match area during the preparation phase. Players can sell, enter, and reserve pieces in the battle preparation area, and there is a limit to the number of pieces in the battle preparation area.

[0018] For example, regarding the grid configuration in the battle area, in one possible embodiment, the battle area includes n (rows) x m (columns) battle grids, where n is an integer multiple of 2, and two adjacent rows of grids are aligned or staggered. The battle area is also divided into two equal parts according to the rows, which are the friendly battle area and the enemy battle area, and in the preparation stage, the user can only place pieces in the friendly battle area.

[0019] Virtual piece: Refers to a piece placed on the chessboard in an auto chess game, and includes a fighting virtual piece and a battle-ready virtual piece, where a fighting virtual piece is a virtual piece located in the fighting area, and a battle-ready virtual piece is a virtual piece located in the battle-ready area.

[0020] Optionally, when different virtual pieces in the battle area have the same attribute and the quantity reaches a preset value (also called a bond), the battle virtual pieces with that attribute or all the battle virtual pieces in the battle area can all acquire a gain effect corresponding to that attribute. For example, when two battle virtual pieces with the warrior attribute are included in the battle area at the same time, all the battle virtual pieces acquire a 10% defensive power boost, when four battle virtual pieces with the warrior attribute are included in the battle area at the same time, all the battle virtual pieces acquire a 20% defensive power boost, and when three battle virtual pieces with the spirit attribute are included in the battle area at the same time, all the battle virtual pieces acquire a 20% evasion probability boost.

[0021] Currency: A basic resource (virtual resource) used to purchase pieces, upgrades, and refresh the store during a game. Each turn, you can obtain a fixed amount of basic currency and 10% interest on your current currency (the maximum interest rate is 5, and there is no interest when the currency is less than 10). When you win or fail consecutively, you can obtain additional currency based on the number of consecutive wins (losses).

[0022] Attributes: Based on different types of pieces, each type of piece has different attributes, and different pieces can have the same attributes, and the attributes include at least one of quality and star number. Here, quality is an inherent attribute of a piece and remains fixed. Star number is a non-inherent attribute of a piece, and a piece can improve its star number by increasing its star number. After increasing its star number, the basic attribute and skill strength of the piece will be significantly improved, and the maximum star number of a piece is 3 stars.

[0023] Quality: Refers to the unique attributes of a piece. Based on the rarity and skill of the piece, the piece can be divided into 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 quality levels, which have different purchase prices in game stores, respectively 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 currency.

[0024] Star Upgrade: When three identical pieces (of the same star number and quality) are possessed on the chessboard or in the battle preparation area, the pieces will automatically combine to form a piece with a higher star number, without affecting the quality of the higher-star pieces. This process is called star upgrade. For example, when possessing three identical 1-star 1-grade pieces, the stars will automatically be upgraded to 2-star 1-grade pieces. After possessing three identical 2-star 1-grade pieces, the stars will automatically be upgraded to 3-star 1-grade pieces. The maximum star number for a piece is 3 stars, and a total of nine 1-star pieces are required to upgrade to a 3-star piece. After star upgrading, the basic attributes and skill strength of the pieces will be significantly improved. Note that players can purchase 1-star pieces at game stores, but 2-star and 3-star pieces cannot be purchased directly.

[0025] 1 shows a structural block diagram of a computer system 100 provided by one exemplary embodiment of the present application, which includes a first terminal 120, a server 140, and a second terminal 160.

[0026] An application program for a turn-based chess game, for example, an auto-chess type game application, is installed and running on the first terminal 120. The first terminal 120 is a terminal used by a first user, and the first user uses the first terminal 120 to purchase new virtual pieces or sell virtual pieces that they own in the preparation stage and / or the game stage of a game, or the first user uses the first terminal 120 in the preparation stage of a game to place opposing virtual pieces in a game area of ​​a chessboard, and the first terminal 120 automatically controls the opposing virtual pieces to battle based on the attributes, skills, and placement of the opposing virtual pieces in the game area in the game stage.

[0027] The first terminal 120 is connected to the server 140 via a wireless network or a wired network.

[0028] The server 140 may include at least one of a single server, multiple servers, a cloud computing platform, and a virtualization center. For example, the server 140 may include a processor 144 and a memory 142. The memory 142 may further include a receiving module 1421, a control module 1422, and a sending module 1423. The receiving module 1421 may receive a request from a client terminal, such as a confirmation request for confirming the lineup of the opponent's virtual pieces. The control module 1422 may control the rendering of the virtual environment screen. The sending module 1423 may send a response to the client terminal, such as sending the lineup of the opponent's virtual pieces to the client terminal. The server 140 may provide background services for a turn-based chess game application program. Alternatively, the server 140 may perform the main computational tasks, and the first terminal 120 and the second terminal 160 may perform the secondary computational tasks, or the server 140 may perform the secondary computational tasks, and the first terminal 120 and the second terminal 160 may perform the main computational tasks, or a distributed computing architecture may be used to perform collaborative computing among the three parties of the server 140, the first terminal 120, and the second terminal 160.

[0029] An application program for a turn-based chess game, for example, an auto-chess type game application, is installed and running on the second terminal 160. The second terminal 160 is a terminal used by a second user, and the second user uses the second terminal 160 to purchase new virtual pieces or sell virtual pieces that they own in the preparation stage and / or the battle stage of the game, or the second user uses the second terminal 160 in the preparation stage of the game to place the opposing virtual pieces in the battle area of ​​the chessboard, and the second terminal 160 automatically controls the opposing virtual pieces to battle based on the attributes, skills, and placement of the opposing virtual pieces in the game area in the battle stage.

[0030] Optionally, the competing virtual pieces placed by the first user via the first terminal 120 and the second user via the second terminal 160 are located in different competing areas on the same chessboard, i.e., the first user and the second user are in the same game.

[0031] Optionally, the application programs installed on the first terminal 120 and the second terminal 160 may be the same, or the application programs installed on the two terminals may be the same type of application programs on different control system platforms. The first terminal 120 may refer to one of multiple terminals, and the second terminal 160 may refer to one of multiple terminals. This embodiment will be described using only the first terminal 120 and the second terminal 160 as an example. The device types of the first terminal 120 and the second terminal 160 may be the same or different, and the device types may include at least one of a smartphone, a tablet PC, an e-book reader, a digital player, a laptop portable computer, and a desktop computer. In the following embodiment, the terminal will be described using a smartphone as an example.

[0032] As can be known by those skilled in the art, the number of terminals may be more or less. For example, the number of terminals may be only one (i.e., a user plays against an AI), or the number of terminals may be eight (1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1, where eight users play in a cyclical manner and a selection is made to finally determine a winner), or the number may be more. The embodiments of the present application are not limited by the number and device types of terminals.

[0033] In some embodiments, reference is made to schematic diagrams of related art shown in Figures 2, 3, and 4. As shown in Figure 2, in the schematic diagram of a display interface 200 of a game store, multiple virtual pieces that a player can purchase are displayed, with the names of the virtual pieces displayed in a display area 201, and the amount of resources required to purchase the virtual pieces, i.e., the amount of currency to be used, being used to represent the purchase price, in order to purchase a 1-star 1 quality virtual piece, 1 currency is required to purchase a 1-star 2 quality virtual piece, 2 currencies are required to purchase a 1-star 3 quality virtual piece, 3 currencies are required to purchase a 1-star 4 quality virtual piece, 4 currencies are required to purchase a 1-star 5 quality virtual piece, and 5 currencies are required to purchase a 1-star 5 quality virtual piece.

[0034] During the preparation stage or the battle stage, players can sell any of their virtual pieces. As shown in FIG. 3 , in a schematic diagram of a display interface 300 during the battle stage, a display area 301 displays the amount of additional resources (i.e., the amount of currency) that can be obtained by selling the virtual pieces owned by the player, and this is used to represent the selling price. When selling, a 1-star virtual piece is sold at its original purchase price. A 1-star 1-quality virtual piece can be sold to obtain 1 currency, a 1-star 2-quality virtual piece can be sold to obtain 2 currency, a 1-star 3-quality virtual piece can be sold to obtain 3 currency, a 1-star 4-quality virtual piece can be sold to obtain 4 currency, and a 1-star 5-quality virtual piece can be sold to obtain 5 currency. The display area 301 in FIG. 3 indicates that a player can sell a 1-star 2-quality virtual piece to obtain 2 currency.

[0035] However, after the star level of a virtual piece is increased, the amount of currency earned by selling it will result in a certain loss. Selling a 2-star 1 quality virtual piece will earn 3 currency, selling a 2-star 2 quality virtual piece will earn 5 currency, selling a 2-star 3 quality virtual piece will earn 8 currency, selling a 2-star 4 quality virtual piece will earn 11 currency, and selling a 2-star 5 quality virtual piece will earn 14 currency. Selling a 3-star 1 quality virtual piece will earn 8 currency, selling a 3-star 2 quality virtual piece will earn 17 currency, selling a 3-star 3 quality virtual piece will earn 28 currency, selling a 3-star 4 quality virtual piece will earn 35 currency, and selling a 3-star 5 quality virtual piece will earn 44 currency. Display area 302 in FIG. 4 indicates that a player can earn 5 currency by selling a 2-star 2 quality virtual piece.

[0036] In some other embodiments, reference is made to the schematic diagram of the related art shown in FIG. 5. As shown in FIG. 5, the schematic diagram of a display interface 400 displays a plurality of virtual pieces owned by a player, and a display area 401 displays the amount of currency that can be obtained by selling the virtual pieces, which is used to represent the selling price. To purchase virtual pieces of 1-star 1 quality, 1-star 2 quality, 1-star 3 quality, 1-star 4 quality, 1-star 5 quality, and 1-star 6 quality, three currencies are required. When selling virtual pieces of 1 quality, 2 quality, 3 quality, 4 quality, 5 quality, and 6 quality, one currency can be obtained by selling each of them, regardless of whether the virtual pieces have been upgraded in star rating.

[0037] In the related art, different virtual pieces correspond to different amounts of currency when purchased and sold, and the purchase and sale of the same virtual piece also correspond to different amounts of currency. For example, the selling price of some virtual pieces is a certain loss compared to the purchase price, and the selling price of some virtual objects is the same as the purchase price. For computer devices, it is necessary to store a large amount of correspondence between the virtual pieces and the amounts of currency when purchased and sold, which occupies a large amount of memory space.

[0038] To address the above-mentioned problems, the present embodiment provides a method for selling virtual pieces, which associates the currency amounts between the purchase and sale of virtual pieces, without occupying excessive memory space, and allows players to easily understand and remember the currency amounts for the purchase and sale of virtual pieces, which further helps players adjust their game strategies.

[0039] FIG. 6 shows a flowchart of a method for selling virtual pieces provided by one exemplary embodiment of the present application, which may be executed by a computer device, for example, the computer device may be the first terminal 120 or the second terminal 160 shown in FIG. 1 , and is described as an example in which the method is applied to the first terminal 120 or a turn-based chess application program installed on the first terminal 120, or the second terminal 160 or a turn-based chess application program installed on the second terminal 160, and the method includes the following steps:

[0040] Step 520: In the process of the turn-based chess game, in response to the operation of purchasing a virtual piece, display the quantity of the consumed resource for purchasing the virtual piece, where the quantity of the consumed resource corresponds to the quantity of the discounted resource.

[0041] The purchase operation is an operation in which the player purchases a virtual piece from a game store, and the purchase operation may be a tap operation on the virtual piece to be purchased.

[0042] Resources refer to virtual resources in a game, and resources include at least one of currency and virtual currency.

[0043] The quantity of consumable resources is the amount of currency consumed (or used) when purchasing a virtual piece, and the quantity of consumable resources is used to represent the purchase price of the virtual piece.

[0044] The quantity of discounted resources corresponding to the quantity of consumed resources refers to the quantity of discounted (or saved) currency corresponding to the virtual pieces to be purchased, and the quantity of discounted resources is used to represent the discounted purchase price of the virtual pieces, which is less than or equal to the original purchase price.

[0045] In some embodiments, the quantity of the consumed resource is determined based on the quantity of the base resource of the virtual piece and the quantity of the discounted resource.

[0046] The quantity of the base resource of a virtual piece refers to the original purchase price set for the corresponding virtual piece at the basic level. At the basic level, the original selling price and the original purchase price of the virtual piece are the same.

[0047] For example, the quantity of consumed resources is the difference between the quantity of the base resource and the quantity of the discounted resource of the virtual piece, i.e., quantity of consumed resources = quantity of base resource - quantity of discounted resource.

[0048] Optionally, in the course of the turn-based chess game, in response to a purchase operation of a virtual piece, the quantity of consumed resources for purchasing the virtual piece is displayed, and the quantity of consumed resources corresponds to the quantity of discounted resources.

[0049] For example, the original purchase price of a virtual piece is 3 currency, the amount of currency used by a player to purchase the virtual piece is 2 currency, and the amount of discounted resources is 1 currency, that is, the amount of consumed resources of the virtual object is 2 currency, and the amount of discounted resources corresponding to the amount of consumed resources is 1 currency.

[0050] In some embodiments, a player may purchase virtual pieces either in the preparation stage or the battle stage of each turn of the game, or a player may purchase virtual pieces in the preparation stage or the battle stage of a previous turn of the game and not purchase virtual pieces in the current turn, and this embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0051] In some embodiments, the method further includes, in response to a purchase operation of the virtual piece, displaying a quantity of the consumable resource for purchasing the virtual piece, and indicating a successful purchase of the virtual piece in a situation where the quantity of the stock resource is greater than or equal to the quantity of the consumable resource.

[0052] The inventory resource quantity is used to represent the total amount of currency that a player owns. A purchase is successful when the amount of currency that a player owns is greater than or equal to the amount of currency used to purchase virtual pieces.

[0053] In some embodiments, the method further comprises displaying the updated quantity of the inventory resource after the virtual piece is successfully purchased.

[0054] In some embodiments, the virtual pieces purchased by a player are basic-level virtual pieces. Assume that the level of a virtual piece is determined according to the star number and quality of the virtual piece, and that there are three star numbers and five quality levels for virtual pieces. The basic-level virtual pieces are 1-star, 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5-quality virtual pieces.

[0055] Step 540: In response to a sales operation for the owned virtual piece, display sales information for the virtual piece, where the sales information is used to indicate the quantity of additional resources successfully sold for the virtual piece, and the quantity of discounted resources corresponding to the quantity of additional resources is the same as the quantity of discounted resources corresponding to the quantity of consumed resources.

[0056] The selling operation is an operation for selling a virtual piece owned by a player. The owned virtual piece may be a basic level virtual piece purchased from a game store, or may be a virtual piece whose star number has been automatically increased; this embodiment does not limit this.

[0057] The quantity of additional resources is the amount of currency that can be obtained when selling a virtual piece, and the quantity of additional resources is used to represent the selling price of the virtual piece.

[0058] The quantity of discounted resources corresponding to the quantity of additional resources refers to the quantity of discount currency corresponding to the virtual pieces being sold, and the quantity of discounted resources is used to represent the sales discount price of the virtual pieces, which is less than or equal to the original sales price.

[0059] Sales information refers to information displayed when selling a virtual piece, and is used to indicate the quantity of additional resources successfully sold for the virtual piece, and the sales information includes the quantity of additional resources for the virtual piece.

[0060] In some embodiments, the sales information further includes a level of the virtual piece, with different levels of the virtual piece corresponding to different quantities of additional resources.

[0061] In some embodiments, displaying sales information for a virtual piece may be displaying the level of the virtual piece and the quantity of the corresponding additional resource under that level of the virtual piece.

[0062] In some embodiments, the quantity of the discounted resource corresponding to the quantity of the additional resource is the same as the quantity of the discounted resource corresponding to the quantity of the consumed resource.

[0063] For example, the original purchase price of a virtual piece is 3 currencies, and the original selling price is 3 currencies. When a player purchases the virtual piece, the amount of currency used is 2 currencies, i.e., the amount of consumable resources of the virtual object is 2 currencies, and the amount of discounted resources corresponding to the amount of consumable resources is 1 currencies. In this case, when a player sells the virtual piece, the amount of discounted resources corresponding to the amount of additional resources is the same as the amount of discounted resources corresponding to the amount of consumable resources, i.e., when selling, it is necessary to discount 1 currency according to the original selling price, i.e., the selling price is 2 currencies.

[0064] Step 560: When the virtual piece is in a non-competitive state, it is displayed that the virtual piece has been successfully sold.

[0065] The non-playing state means that the virtual piece is not in the process of playing in the current turn.

[0066] For example, when the virtual piece is not in a battle state, it is displayed that the virtual piece has been successfully sold.

[0067] In some embodiments, the method further comprises displaying an updated quantity of the inventory resource after a successful sale of the virtual piece.

[0068] As described above, the virtual piece sales method provided by the embodiment of the present application eliminates the need for a computer device to store large amounts of virtual resources corresponding to the purchase and sale of virtual pieces. Furthermore, the embodiment of the present application associates the virtual resource quantities between the purchase and sale of virtual pieces, and when determining the quantity of discount resources to purchase a virtual piece, the quantity of discount resources to sell the virtual piece can also be determined, eliminating the need to occupy excessive memory space on the computer device. Furthermore, players can easily understand and remember the virtual resource quantities for the purchase and sale of virtual pieces, further helping players adjust their game strategies and improving their gaming experience.

[0069] In some embodiments, FIG. 7 shows a flowchart of a method for selling virtual pieces provided by one exemplary embodiment of the present application, and step 540 can be implemented as the following step 550.

[0070] Step 550: Display the level of the virtual piece and the quantity of the corresponding additional resources under the level of the virtual piece, where the level is determined based on at least one attribute information of the virtual piece, including the star number and quality.

[0071] In some embodiments, displaying sales information of the virtual piece may be displaying the level of the virtual piece and the quantity of corresponding additional resources under that level of the virtual piece, where the level is determined based on at least one of attribute information of the virtual piece, such as the number of stars and quality.

[0072] In some embodiments, the star level of a virtual piece is determined by the star number. For example, assume that there are three star numbers and five quality levels for virtual pieces. A one-star virtual piece is level 1, and after being upgraded, a two-star virtual piece is level 2, and after being upgraded again, a three-star virtual piece is level 3. That is, a virtual piece has three levels, each of which further includes five quality levels.

[0073] In some other embodiments, the level of a virtual piece is determined jointly by the number of stars and the quality. For example, assume that there are three types of star numbers and five types of quality for virtual pieces. A virtual piece with 1 star (1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 quality) corresponds to levels 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5. After the number of stars is increased, a virtual piece with 2 stars (1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 quality) corresponds to levels 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10. After the number of stars is increased again, a virtual piece with 3 stars (1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 quality) corresponds to levels 11 / 12 / 13 / 14 / 15. That is, the virtual piece has 15 levels.

[0074] In this embodiment, by displaying the level of the virtual piece and the corresponding quantity of additional resources at that level of the virtual piece, the correspondence between the level of the virtual piece and the quantity of additional resources can be intuitively displayed, which helps players adjust their game strategies.

[0075] In some embodiments, FIG. 7 illustrates a flowchart of a method for selling virtual pieces provided by one exemplary embodiment of the present application, where step 550 may further include step 551.

[0076] Step 551: Under the circumstance where the quantity of the discount resource is zero and the level of the virtual piece is the basic level, display the basic level of the virtual piece and the quantity of the corresponding additional resource under the basic level of the virtual piece, where the quantity of the additional resource is the same as the quantity of the corresponding standard resource under the basic level of the virtual piece.

[0077] The levels of virtual pieces include the basic level, which is the level without any star upgrades. Assume that there are three types of star numbers and five types of quality for virtual pieces. The basic level virtual pieces are 1 star 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 quality virtual pieces.

[0078] The quantity of the corresponding reference resource at the base level of the virtual piece is used to represent the corresponding set original selling price at the base level of the virtual piece.

[0079] For example, the quantity of the discounted resource is zero, i.e., the virtual piece is purchased at the original purchase price at the base level, the selling price of the virtual piece at the base level is the original selling price, and the quantity of the additional resource corresponding to the virtual piece at the base level is the same as the quantity of the standard resource corresponding to the virtual piece at the base level.

[0080] For example, suppose there are three types of star numbers and five types of quality for virtual pieces. The original purchase price corresponding to 1-star 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 quality virtual pieces is 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 currency. To purchase 1-star 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 quality virtual pieces, 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 currency is used, and 1-star 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 quality virtual pieces can be sold to obtain 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 currency.

[0081] In some embodiments, FIG. 7 illustrates a flowchart of a method for selling virtual pieces provided by one exemplary embodiment of the present application, where step 550 can further include step 552.

[0082] Step 552: Under the circumstance where the quantity of the discount resource is zero and the level of the virtual piece is an enhanced level, display the enhanced level of the virtual piece and the quantity of the corresponding additional resource under the enhanced level of the virtual piece, where the quantity of the additional resource is an integer multiple of the quantity of the corresponding standard resource under the basic level of the virtual piece.

[0083] The level of a virtual piece includes the enhanced level, which is the level after the star number is increased. Assume that there are three types of star numbers and five types of quality for virtual pieces. If the basic level virtual piece is a 1-star 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 quality virtual piece, the enhanced level virtual piece is a 2-star 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 quality virtual piece, or a 3-star 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 quality virtual piece.

[0084] For example, the quantity of the discounted resources is zero, i.e., the virtual piece is purchased at the original purchase price at the basic level, while the selling price of the virtual piece at the enhanced level is an integer multiple of the original selling price, i.e., the quantity of the additional resources corresponding to the enhanced level of the virtual piece is an integer multiple of the quantity of the standard resources corresponding to the basic level of the virtual piece.

[0085] For example, suppose there are three star levels and five quality levels for virtual pieces. The original purchase price for a 1-star 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 quality virtual piece is 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 currency. Purchasing a 1-star 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 quality virtual piece requires 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 currency, respectively. Selling a 1-star 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 quality virtual piece will earn 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 currency. In this embodiment, under the setting of an upgrade reward mechanism, selling a 2-star 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 quality virtual piece after upgrading its star level will earn 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 currency, which is twice the amount earned by selling a corresponding 1-star virtual piece. After the star rating is increased again, selling a 3-star 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 quality virtual piece will earn you 3 / 6 / 9 / 12 / 15 currency, which is three times more than selling a corresponding 1-star virtual piece.

[0086] In some embodiments, FIG. 7 illustrates a flowchart of a method for selling virtual pieces provided by one exemplary embodiment of the present application, where step 550 may further include step 553.

[0087] Step 553: Under the circumstance that the quantity of the discounted virtual resource is greater than zero and the level of the virtual piece is the basic level, display the basic level of the virtual piece and the quantity of the corresponding additional resource under the basic level of the virtual piece, where the quantity of the additional resource is the difference between the quantity of the corresponding standard resource under the basic level of the virtual piece and the quantity of the discounted resource.

[0088] For example, the quantity of the discounted resources is greater than zero, i.e., the virtual piece is purchased at a discounted purchase price less than the original purchase price at the base level. At this time, the selling price of the virtual piece at the base level is the original selling price minus the discounted price. That is, the quantity of the additional resources corresponding to the virtual piece at the base level is the difference between the quantity of the standard resources and the quantity of the discounted resources corresponding to the virtual piece at the base level.

[0089] For example, suppose there are three star levels and five quality levels for virtual pieces, the original purchase price for a 1-star 2-quality virtual piece is 2 currencies, and only 1 currency is used to purchase the 1-star 2-quality virtual piece. The 1-star 2-quality virtual piece can also be sold for 2 currencies, with 1 currency subtracted, i.e., the 1-star 2-quality virtual piece is sold for only 1 currency.

[0090] In some embodiments, FIG. 7 illustrates a flowchart of a method for selling virtual pieces provided by one exemplary embodiment of the present application, where step 550 can further include step 554.

[0091] Step 554: Under the circumstance that the quantity of discounted virtual resources is greater than zero and the level of the virtual piece is an enhanced level, display the enhanced level of the virtual piece and the quantity of corresponding additional resources under the enhanced level of the virtual piece, where the quantity of additional resources is the difference between the quantity of corresponding standard resources under the enhanced level of the virtual piece and the quantity of all discounted resources saved by obtaining the virtual piece, and the quantity of corresponding standard resources under the enhanced level of the virtual piece is an integer multiple of the quantity of corresponding standard resources under the basic level of the virtual piece.

[0092] That is, the quantity of the above additional resources is the difference between the first quantity and the second quantity, where the first quantity is the quantity of the corresponding standard resources under the enhanced level of the virtual piece, the second quantity is the quantity of all discounted resources saved by acquiring the virtual piece, and the first quantity is an integer multiple of the quantity of the corresponding standard resources under the basic level of the virtual piece.

[0093] For example, the quantity of discounted resources is greater than zero, i.e., the virtual piece is purchased at a discounted purchase price less than the original purchase price at the base level. At this time, the selling price of the virtual piece at the enhanced level is the original selling price minus all the discounted prices saved. That is, the quantity of additional resources corresponding to the virtual piece at the enhanced level is the difference between the quantity of the corresponding base resources at the enhanced level of the virtual piece and the quantity of all the discounted resources saved by acquiring the virtual piece.

[0094] For example, assume that there are three star levels and five quality levels for virtual pieces. The original purchase price for a 1-star 2-quality virtual piece is 2 currency, and three 1-star 2-quality virtual pieces can be upgraded. Purchasing the first 1-star 2-quality virtual piece requires only 1 currency, purchasing the second 1-star 2-quality virtual piece requires only 1 currency, and purchasing the third 1-star 2-quality virtual piece requires 2 currency, saving a total of 2 currency. After upgrading the star level, a 2-star 2-quality virtual piece can be obtained. Selling the 2-star 2-quality virtual piece also requires deducting 2 currency based on the fact that it was originally sellable for 2 currency, i.e., the 2-star 2-quality virtual piece is sold for 0 currency.

[0095] In some embodiments, the displayed quantity of additional resources corresponding to successful sales of virtual pieces is greater than or equal to 0. In situations where the quantity of additional resources is less than 0, the quantity of additional resources is displayed as 0.

[0096] In some embodiments, FIG. 8 shows a flowchart of a method for selling virtual pieces provided by one exemplary embodiment of the present application, which may further include the following steps:

[0097] Step 570: In response to the virtual piece satisfying the upgrade condition, the upgraded virtual piece is displayed.

[0098] Upgrading is the process of merging N identical virtual pieces into a higher level virtual piece when you have N identical virtual pieces in the game, where N is a positive integer. Upgrading generally refers to increasing the number of stars, for example, from 1 star to 2 stars, or from 2 stars to 3 stars.

[0099] In this embodiment, N is set to 3, and the upgrade condition is to have three identical virtual pieces, where the same virtual pieces refer to the virtual pieces having the same star number and quality.

[0100] In response to satisfying the upgrade condition of the virtual piece, the upgraded virtual piece is selectively displayed, i.e., the level of the upgraded virtual piece is an enhanced level.

[0101] Step 580: Under the circumstance that the virtual pieces being sold are upgraded virtual pieces, display the quantity of additional resources corresponding to the upgraded virtual pieces, where upgrading is the process of N identical virtual pieces being synthesized into higher level virtual pieces when owning N identical virtual pieces in the game, where N is a positive integer.

[0102] For example, in a situation where the virtual pieces being sold are upgraded virtual pieces, the quantity of additional resources corresponding to the upgraded virtual pieces is displayed.

[0103] Optionally, when the quantity of discounted resources is zero, displaying the quantity of additional resources corresponding to the upgraded virtual piece means displaying the quantity of the corresponding additional resources under the enhanced level of the virtual piece, where the quantity of additional resources is an integer multiple of the quantity of the corresponding standard resources under the basic level of the virtual piece.

[0104] Optionally, under the circumstance where the quantity of discounted virtual resources is greater than zero, displaying the quantity of additional resources corresponding to the upgraded virtual piece, i.e., displaying the quantity of corresponding additional resources under the enhanced level of the virtual piece, where the quantity of additional resources is the difference between the quantity of corresponding standard resources under the enhanced level of the virtual piece and the quantity of all discounted resources saved by acquiring the virtual piece, and the quantity of corresponding standard resources under the enhanced level of the virtual piece is an integer multiple of the quantity of corresponding standard resources under the basic level of the virtual piece.

[0105] In this embodiment, the computer device can determine the quantity of discounted resources when selling virtual pieces based on the quantity of discounted resources when purchasing virtual pieces, and the calculation steps are simple. Furthermore, the computer device does not need to store the quantities of virtual resources corresponding to the purchase and sale of different virtual pieces, which effectively saves storage space.

[0106] In some embodiments, FIG. 9 shows a flowchart of a method for selling virtual pieces provided by one exemplary embodiment of the present application, which may further include the following steps:

[0107] Step 571: In response to satisfying an upgrade condition for the virtual piece, display an upgrade award, the upgrade award including one of another virtual piece or a virtual cash voucher.

[0108] In some embodiments, the Auto Chess game of this embodiment further includes an upgrade reward mechanism. Illustratively, in response to satisfying an upgrade condition for a virtual piece, an upgrade reward is displayed, and the upgrade reward includes one of another virtual piece or a virtual cash voucher.

[0109] Optionally, the other virtual pieces are randomly placed in the background. The other virtual pieces are any virtual pieces that match the base level of the virtual piece. The virtual cash voucher refers to a cash voucher that matches the amount of the corresponding reference resource under the base level of the virtual piece.

[0110] For example, suppose there are three star levels and five quality levels for virtual pieces. A 1-star 2-quality virtual piece can be sold for two currencies. After owning three 1-star 2-quality virtual pieces, you can upgrade the star level to a 2-star 2-quality virtual piece and obtain another 1-star 2-quality virtual piece or a virtual gold voucher.

[0111] In some embodiments, in response to satisfying an upgrade condition for the virtual piece, an upgrade award is displayed, the upgrade award including one of another virtual piece or a virtual cash voucher. In response to a selection of the upgrade award, the upgrade award is obtained.

[0112] Step 581: When selling other virtual pieces or virtual cash vouchers, display the quantity of the corresponding standard resources at the basic level of the virtual pieces, where the quantities of the additional resources corresponding to the other virtual pieces and the virtual cash vouchers are the same as the quantity of the corresponding standard resources at the basic level of the virtual pieces.

[0113] That is, the quantity of additional resources corresponding to other virtual pieces and the quantity of additional resources corresponding to each virtual cash voucher are the same as the quantity of the corresponding standard resources at the basic level of the virtual piece.

[0114] For example, the quantity of the additional resources corresponding to each of the other virtual pieces and the virtual cash voucher is the same as the quantity of the corresponding standard resources at the basic level of the virtual piece.

[0115] For example, suppose there are three types of star levels and five types of quality for virtual pieces. A 1-star, 2-quality virtual piece can be sold for two currencies. After owning three 1-star, 2-quality virtual pieces, you can upgrade the star level to a 2-star, 2-quality virtual piece and obtain one other 1-star, 2-quality virtual piece or one virtual gold voucher. After selling the virtual gold voucher, you can obtain two currencies, and after selling another 1-star, 2-quality virtual piece, you can obtain two currencies.

[0116] In this embodiment, when the virtual pieces are upgraded (the number of stars increases), an upgrade reward is also set, which enriches the human-computer interaction form. Furthermore, since the upgrade reward is associated with the virtual pieces, the computer device does not need to additionally store the amount of virtual resources corresponding to other virtual pieces or virtual coupons obtained by selling the upgrade reward, which can save the storage resources of the computer device to a certain extent.

[0117] In some embodiments, FIG. 10 shows a flowchart of a method for selling virtual pieces provided by one exemplary embodiment of the present application, and step 540 can be implemented as the following step 541 or step 542.

[0118] Step 541: In response to a tap operation on the sales interface for the owned virtual piece, sales information for the virtual piece is displayed.

[0119] For example, each owned virtual piece corresponds to a sales interface, and sales information of the virtual piece is displayed in the sales interface.

[0120] In response to a tap operation on the sales interface of the owned virtual piece, sales information of the virtual piece is selectively displayed, the sales information including the level of the virtual piece and the quantity of the corresponding additional resource under the level of the virtual piece.

[0121] Step 542: In response to dragging the owned virtual piece to the sales area, sales information for the virtual piece is displayed.

[0122] For example, a sales area is set on the chessboard of the game, and the sales area can be set in any position area of ​​the chessboard.

[0123] In response to a user selectively dragging a virtual piece that the user owns to the sales area, sales information for the virtual piece is displayed, the sales information including the quantity of additional resources corresponding to the virtual piece.

[0124] In this embodiment, multiple forms are provided for selling owned virtual pieces and displaying sales information of virtual pieces, allowing players to select based on their actual technical needs. The forms of human-computer interaction are relatively rich, contributing to an improved gaming experience for players.

[0125] In some embodiments, FIG. 11 shows a flowchart of a method for selling virtual pieces provided by one exemplary embodiment of the present application, which further includes the following steps:

[0126] Step 710: In the course of a turn-based chess game, purchase virtual pieces from a game store.

[0127] Optionally, a player can purchase virtual pieces from a game store during the course of a turn-based chess game, and the purchased virtual pieces are basic level virtual pieces.

[0128] Step 720: Determine the quantity of discounted resources corresponding to the quantity of consumed resources of the virtual piece.

[0129] For example, determining the quantity of discounted resources corresponding to the quantity of consumed resources of a virtual piece is to determine the discounted resources saved by purchasing the virtual piece.

[0130] Optionally, the quantity of consumed resources of a virtual piece is the difference between the quantity of base resources and the quantity of discounted resources of the virtual piece, i.e., the quantity of discounted resources is the difference between the quantity of base resources and the quantity of consumed resources of the virtual piece.

[0131] In some embodiments, the quantity of discounted resources corresponding to different types of virtual pieces may be different and may need to be specifically determined based on the quantity of resources consumed when actually purchasing the virtual pieces.

[0132] Step 730: Under the circumstances of selling virtual pieces, determine the quantity of additional resources successfully sold for the virtual pieces, where the quantity of discounted resources corresponding to the quantity of additional resources is the same as the quantity of discounted resources corresponding to the quantity of consumed resources.

[0133] For example, in the case of selling virtual pieces, the quantity of additional resources successfully sold for the virtual pieces is determined, and the quantity of discounted resources corresponding to the quantity of additional resources is the same as the quantity of discounted resources corresponding to the quantity of consumed resources. For example, if one currency is saved based on the original purchase price when purchasing a virtual piece, one currency needs to be discounted based on the original selling price when selling the virtual piece.

[0134] In some embodiments, FIG. 12 shows a flowchart of a method for selling virtual pieces provided by one exemplary embodiment of the present application, which further includes the following steps:

[0135] Step 740: Under the circumstances where the virtual piece upgrade condition is satisfied, an upgraded virtual piece is obtained.

[0136] Upgrading is the process of merging N identical virtual pieces into a higher level virtual piece when you have N identical virtual pieces in the game, where N is a positive integer. Upgrading generally refers to increasing the number of stars, for example, from 1 star to 2 stars, or from 2 stars to 3 stars.

[0137] In this embodiment, N is set to 3, and the upgrade condition is to have three identical virtual pieces, where the same virtual pieces refer to the virtual pieces having the same star number and quality.

[0138] For example, an upgraded virtual piece is obtained under the circumstances where the upgrade condition of the virtual piece is satisfied.

[0139] Step 750: Under the circumstance that the virtual piece to be sold is an upgraded virtual piece, determine the quantity of additional resources successfully sold for the upgraded virtual piece, where the quantity of discounted resources corresponding to the quantity of additional resources is the same as the quantity of all discounted resources corresponding to the acquisition of the upgraded virtual piece.

[0140] Illustratively, under the circumstance that the virtual pieces to be sold are upgraded virtual pieces, the quantity of additional resources successfully sold for the upgraded virtual pieces is determined, where the quantity of discounted resources corresponding to the quantity of additional resources is the same as the quantity of all discounted resources corresponding to the acquisition of the upgraded virtual pieces.

[0141] Optionally, under the circumstance that the quantity of the discounted resource is zero, the quantity of the additional resource of the virtual piece after the upgrade is an integer multiple of the quantity of the corresponding standard resource under the basic level of the virtual piece.

[0142] Optionally, under the circumstance where the quantity of discounted virtual resources is greater than zero, the quantity of additional resources of the virtual piece after upgrading is the difference between the quantity of the corresponding base resources under the enhanced level of the virtual piece and the quantity of all discounted resources saved by acquiring the virtual piece, and the quantity of the corresponding base resources under the enhanced level of the virtual piece is an integer multiple of the quantity of the corresponding base resources under the basic level of the virtual piece.

[0143] Using the above embodiment, the background of the computer equipment can quickly determine the quantity of discounted resources corresponding to the quantity of resources consumed by the virtual piece, and determine the quantity of additional resources successfully sold for the virtual piece, and the calculation method is relatively simple and efficient.

[0144] In some embodiments, FIG. 13 shows a flowchart of a method for selling virtual pieces provided by one exemplary embodiment of the present application, where step 720 can be implemented as step 721, step 722, or step 723.

[0145] Step 721: Determine the quantity of discount resources corresponding to the quantity of consumed resources of the virtual piece according to the talent information of the master virtual piece.

[0146] The master virtual piece is the player character, and the player can select the character they will play before starting the game. Talent information is one of the attribute information of the master virtual piece, and different types of master virtual pieces have different talent information. For some talents, the amount of resources consumed when purchasing virtual pieces can be changed.

[0147] Optionally, the quantity of discounted resources corresponding to the quantity of consumed resources of the virtual piece is determined based on the talent information of the master virtual piece.

[0148] For example, the talent information of the master virtual piece is "XX discount", and for this talent information, the quantity of discount resources is 1, that is, 1 currency is saved when the player purchases the virtual piece he owns in the game store.

[0149] Step 722: Determine the quantity of discount resources corresponding to the quantity of consumed resources of the virtual piece according to the virtual skill used by the master virtual piece during the battle.

[0150] Virtual skills refer to the skills that the master virtual piece unlocks during the battle process.

[0151] Optionally, the quantity of discounted resources corresponding to the quantity of consumed resources of the virtual pieces is determined based on the virtual skills used by the master virtual piece during the battle. In some embodiments, the quantity of discounted resources corresponding to virtual pieces of different qualities is different.

[0152] For example, the virtual skill released by the master virtual piece during the battle is "Skill A." After the battle begins, this virtual skill can randomly copy two enemy virtual pieces, obtain corresponding 1-star virtual pieces, and place them in the battle preparation area. The corresponding quantity of discount resources varies depending on the quality of the virtual pieces. For example, the corresponding quantity of discount resources for 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5-quality virtual pieces is 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4, respectively.

[0153] Step 723: Determine the quantity of discount resources corresponding to the quantity of consumed resources of the virtual piece according to the gain type that the master virtual piece gets after winning the battle.

[0154] The gain type refers to the addition that the master virtual piece gains after winning the battle.

[0155] Selectably, the quantity of discounted resources corresponding to the quantity of consumed resources of the virtual piece is determined based on the gain type that the master virtual piece obtains after winning the battle.

[0156] For example, in the case of "Gain Type A", after winning the battle, the master virtual piece will obtain a certain amount of "XX old coins", which can be used to purchase virtual pieces corresponding to this gain type in the game store, i.e., to purchase virtual pieces of "Gain Type A". The quantity of "XX old coins" is the quantity of discount resources to purchase virtual pieces of "Gain Type A".

[0157] In this embodiment, the background of the computer device can determine the quantity of the discount resources of the virtual pieces based on the actual situation of the game, and can improve the accuracy of the determined value.

[0158] The method for selling virtual pieces provided in the embodiment of the present application will be described in detail using an application to an auto chess game as an example. In this embodiment, the virtual pieces are "heroes." Heroes include three types of star ratings: 1 star, 2 stars, and 3 stars, and each type of star rating includes five qualities: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

[0159] 14 is a schematic diagram of an interface for purchasing virtual pieces provided by one exemplary embodiment. A game store display interface 600 displays multiple heroes that a player can purchase, and a display area 601 displays the amount of consumable resources required to purchase the heroes, i.e., four currencies are required to purchase 5 heroes. A display area 602 displays the amount of inventory resources of the player, i.e., the player owns 57 currencies. The amount of inventory resources is greater than the amount of consumable resources, i.e., the player can purchase 5 heroes.

[0160] FIG. 15 is a schematic diagram of an interface for selling virtual pieces provided by one exemplary embodiment. Assume that purchasing a 1-star 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5-quality hero requires 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 units of currency, respectively. When sold, 2-star 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5-quality heroes correspond to sales interfaces (1) to (5), respectively. In each hero sales interface, the hero's star number is displayed in display area 603, and the amount of additional resources successfully sold for the hero is displayed in display area 604. That is, the amount of additional resources corresponding to the successful sale of a 2-star 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5-quality hero is 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 units of currency, respectively, which is used to conform to the upgrade reward mechanism set in this embodiment.

[0161] 16 is a schematic diagram of an interface for successfully selling a virtual piece provided by one exemplary embodiment. A display area 605 of the display interface 610 indicates that three currencies can be obtained when a two-star, three-quality hero is successfully sold. The terminal responds by dragging the hero to the sales area, and the sale can be completed when the player releases their hand.

[0162] FIG. 17 is a schematic diagram of an interface for selling virtual pieces provided by one exemplary embodiment. Assume that purchasing a 1-star 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5-quality hero requires the use of 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 units of currency, respectively. When sold, 3-star 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5-quality heroes correspond to sales interfaces (1) to (5), respectively. In each hero sales interface, the hero's star number is displayed in display area 606, and the quantity of additional resources successfully sold for the hero is displayed in display area 607. That is, the quantity of additional resources corresponding to the successful sale of a 3-star 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5-quality hero is 3 / 6 / 9 / 12 / 15 units of currency, respectively.

[0163] 18 is a schematic diagram of an interface for successfully selling a virtual piece provided by one exemplary embodiment. In the display area 608 of the display interface 620, it is displayed that 15 currency can be obtained by successfully selling a 3-star, 5-quality hero. The terminal responds to the player dragging the hero to the sales area, and the sale can be completed when the player releases their hand.

[0164] FIG. 19 is a schematic diagram of an interface for purchasing virtual pieces provided by an exemplary embodiment. A game store display interface 630 displays multiple heroes available for purchase by a player, and a display area 631 displays the amount of resources consumed to purchase the heroes. Compared with FIG. 14 , the amount of resources consumed corresponds to the amount of discounted resources. FIG. 14 displays that two currencies are required to purchase a 1-star, 2-quality hero 3, while FIG. 19 displays that only one currency is required to purchase a 1-star, 2-quality hero 3, thus saving one currency. A display area 632 further displays the number of heroes owned by the player at their base level. The display area 632 also indicates that the player owns one 1-star hero 4, allowing the player to easily adjust their purchasing strategy based on the heroes they own.

[0165] 20 is a schematic diagram of an interface for successfully selling a virtual piece provided by one exemplary embodiment. In the display area 633, it is displayed that when the 1-star, 2-quality Hero 3 purchased in FIG. 19 is successfully sold, 1 currency can be obtained.

[0166] FIG. 21 shows a schematic diagram of an interface provided by one exemplary embodiment for successfully selling a virtual piece. If a player purchases a first 1-star, 2-quality Hero 3 for the original price of 2 currencies, then purchases a second 1-star, 2-quality Hero 3 for 1 currencies, and then purchases a third 1-star, 2-quality Hero 3 for 1 currencies, the player's star rating will increase to a 2-star, 2-quality Hero 3 and the player will receive a 2-quality virtual gold voucher. When selling the 2-star, 2-quality Hero 3, the discount is 2 currencies. If the original selling price is 2 currencies, the actual selling price is 0 currencies, as displayed in display area 634 of FIG. 21. The selling price of the 2-quality virtual gold voucher remains unchanged at 2 currencies.

[0167] FIG. 22 shows a schematic diagram of an upgrade reward interface provided by one exemplary embodiment. This embodiment implements an upgrade reward mechanism. When a 1-star, 2-quality hero 3 is upgraded to a 2-star, 2-quality hero 3, an upgrade reward is simultaneously displayed on the display interface 640. The upgrade reward includes any N other 1-star, 2-quality virtual heroes and one 2-quality virtual cash voucher, and the player can select one of them. N may be 3. The display area 641 displays the original selling price corresponding to each other virtual hero, and the display area 644 displays the number of this hero at the player's base level. The display area 642 displays the number of currency that can be obtained by selling the virtual cash voucher. The selling price of the 2-quality virtual cash voucher remains the same for the 2-currency.

[0168] 23 shows a schematic diagram of a talent information interface provided by one exemplary embodiment. In the display area 651 of the display interface 650, the talent information of the master hero is displayed as "XX discount", which means that the player can save 1 currency when purchasing the hero they own in the game store.

[0169] 24 shows a schematic diagram of a virtual skill interface provided by one exemplary embodiment. A display area 661 of the display interface 660 displays the virtual skills that the master hero unlocks during the battle.
