202. The first terminal acquires the virtual article sending conditions input on the virtual article sending interface and sends a virtual article sending request to the server.

The virtual article sending condition is a condition required to be met by obtaining a virtual article, and the virtual article sending condition includes a preset answer corresponding to a preset question, a picture of a preset specification, a video of preset content and the like, and also includes a preset task, such as inputting 50 Chinese characters within set 30 seconds and the like.

When acquiring a virtual article sending condition input by a first user on a virtual article sending interface and receiving a sending instruction, a first terminal generates a virtual article sending request and sends the generated virtual article sending request to a server, wherein the virtual article sending request comprises a first user account, a group identifier, a virtual article sending condition and the like, and the virtual article identifier is the identifier of a selected virtual article.

Fig. 4 is a virtual item sending interface, where the selected virtual item, a preset question input box, a preset answer input box, and an immediate sending option are displayed on the virtual item sending interface, where the preset question input box is used for a first user to input a question that needs to be answered by other users in the group, and the preset answer input box is used for the first user to input an answer corresponding to a preset question. When a preset question is acquired from a preset question input box, a preset answer is acquired from a preset answer input box, and it is detected that an immediate sending option is selected, the first terminal generates a virtual article sending request, wherein the virtual article sending request comprises a first user account, a group identifier, a 'lucky star' identifier, a preset question, a preset answer and the like.

203. And when receiving the virtual article sending request, the server generates a virtual article release message according to the virtual article sending request, and sends the virtual article release message to the first user and the at least one second user according to the group identifier.

When a virtual article sending request is received, the server acquires first user attribute information corresponding to a first user account from a user attribute information database according to the first user account, wherein the first user attribute information comprises a first user nickname, a first user head portrait and the like; the server acquires each user account in the group according to the group identification, wherein the user accounts comprise a first user account and at least one second user account, and the second user is other users except the first user in the group; the server analyzes the virtual article sending condition, if the virtual article sending condition is a preset question and a preset answer, the server extracts the preset question and generates a virtual article release message comprising first user attribute information, the preset question, a virtual article identifier and the like; if the virtual article sending condition is a picture with a preset specification, a video with a preset content, a preset task and the like, the server generates a virtual article publishing message of the first user attribute information, the picture with the preset specification, the video with the preset content, the preset task and the virtual article identifier.

Generally, each user in a group has a virtual article sending authority, and the same virtual article can be sent for multiple times in and among the group, so that in order to avoid sending errors of the virtual article, the server can number the virtual article. In a specific implementation, the server may number the virtual item received this time according to the receiving time of the virtual item transmission request and the receiving frequency of the virtual item transmission request. For example, when the reception time of the virtual item transmission request by the server is 2017, 9/12/11, and the number of times of reception of the virtual item transmission request by the server is 1000, the number of the virtual item is 20170912111000.

Based on the numbers set for the virtual articles, when the server sends the virtual article release message to the first user and the at least one second user, the numbers of the virtual article identifications can be carried in the virtual article release message. Meanwhile, the server can also store the corresponding relation among the virtual article identification, the virtual article number and the virtual article sending condition. Based on the stored corresponding relation, when a virtual article obtaining request sent by a second user is received, the server can quickly find out the virtual article sending condition, and then when the second user is determined to accord with the virtual article sending condition, the virtual article is sent to the second user.

204. When receiving the virtual item release message, the first terminal and the second terminal display the virtual item release message.
