The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 126: Care for friendly competitors, help friendly competitors, and thank friendly competitors!

Xu Meng is an enthusiastic person.

Being helpful is his good quality.

"Mengling! Please call Director Song for me!"

"Okay!" The young assistant responded from outside the door, and soon ran over with Song Zhicheng.

"Boss, what's the matter?" Song Zhicheng was still a little anxious.

Mengjin is in an uproar, and players are worried about whether "Frost and Snow Project" will be taken off the shelves for rectification.

Some players are worried that they will not be able to play the new mode of [Dragon Palace Treasure Hunt].

Some players are worried that they will lose the wife they got by spending real money, or be forced to wear thick clothes.

——In the second game, forcing female characters to wear more conservative clothes is tantamount to cyber foot binding, almost equivalent to another kind of defilement.

Absolutely not!

Everybody was protesting very loudly.

Song Zhicheng was so anxious that sweat broke out on his head.

Seeing that the boss was still as steady as a rock, he couldn't help but admire in his heart:

As expected of the boss, he remained calm even when faced with a huge crisis. What a strong mental quality!

Now that they are calling me over, there must be a solution, right?
He looked at Xu Meng expectantly.

Then Xu Meng asked: "Do you know where female gamers, especially those who play second and third level games, gather?"

……

There was silence in the office for a few seconds.

"......Ah?" Song Zhicheng was stunned.

"Or potential female players are fine too." Xu Meng added.

"I... am not very clear." Song Zhicheng blinked, feeling that he had touched upon a blind spot in knowledge.

But he immediately added: "But I know some friends who make games for women. You can ask them. It shouldn't be difficult to find out."

The assistant suddenly raised his hand: "Boss, I know one - the Red Book!"

"In fact, Weiguang has the most people, but Weiguang is too chaotic and extreme. Many female players can't stand it, so they all ran to Hongshu."

"And now Hongshu has also become extreme, and there is a trend of shifting to Mengjin."

“Another reason is that there are more chat groups.”

"Okay." Xu Meng nodded. "But in addition to your personal experience, the practice of game companies is also very important. You should still ask for advice from your peers."

"If the other party doesn't want to say something, you can buy it with money, or exchange it with some publicity resources."

"I understand." Song Zhicheng nodded, then asked, "Boss, what are you investigating this for?"

"Advertising." Xu Meng replied.

"Ah?" Song Zhicheng and the assistant were both stunned. "Although there are female players in "Frost and Snow Project", investing money specifically in the female community to attract female players is a thankless task, isn't it?"

"A thankless job" is a very polite and euphemistic way of saying it.

The accurate description should be——

“It will be sprayed to pieces!”

"That's right." Xu Meng agreed, "So we are not advertising the Frost and Snow Project."

"Who is that for?"

It can't be Lord of War, right?

"Mirror World Story." Xu Meng said with a smile, "You may not know yet, but this game is about to enter closed beta testing. Let's help promote it and bring some female players over to help with the testing."

"???"

Song Zhicheng was speechless for a moment, not following Xu Meng's jumping thoughts at all.

Promote Konjac Games’ new game?

And specifically help to pull female players over?
Wait... "Mirror World Story" seems to also focus on pornography?
But if they are skirting the line between male and female characters, it won't have any impact if they pull in female players, right?

——Regarding edge skirting and punching, the knowledge of game practitioners in this world is still at a relatively basic stage.

Xu Meng is needed to lead the charge, and they seriously underestimated the destructive power of the Extreme Boxing Fairy.

"It's a bit troublesome to explain, and it's not convincing enough." Xu Meng shook his head, "Just do it first, pay more attention to this matter, and then carefully observe the subsequent series of impacts."

"You'll benefit greatly from this."

Song Zhicheng certainly did not doubt his boss's judgment. Even though he didn't think it through, he immediately started to do it.

But before leaving, he did not forget to ask Xu Meng how to deal with the second review of the "Frost and Snow Plan".

Only after Xu Meng assured him not to worry and that she was already handling it did he feel relieved.
-
That afternoon, Song Zhicheng repeated the same trick.

Instead of using the official account of "Frost and Snow Project" to speak out, he posted a photo using his personal account.

The photo shows him working seriously with a phone in one hand and a pen in the other.

With text:

[Don't be flustered, don't be arrogant or impatient.]
Given the sensitivity of the "re-examination" issue and the fact that the boss has not given a clear answer, he can only use this method to hint to players not to worry or panic, and that the problem can be solved.

The second-level game players who have big imaginations and are good at association actually got his idea, and the number of anxious posts actually decreased a lot!

Song Zhicheng knew that this was not his own credit.

Instead, it is the reputation that Zhumeng has accumulated among players by doing what it says time and time again.

He reminded himself again how precious this trust was, and then went without stopping to complete the task assigned by Xu Meng.
-
Song Zhicheng's work efficiency is as reassuring as ever.

The next day, the Konjac Game was finally launched, and announced to the entire player circle with great fanfare—

[Registration for the first closed beta test of "Mirror World Story" is now open!]
Normally, a test only lasts about 7 to 10 days - for Mirror World Tales it was 10 days.

Just post a notice to accept applications, and then select a few people to test their qualifications. There is no need to make such a big fuss.

But on the one hand, the Forward War was a disastrous defeat, and Konjac Game and its players were chased and ridiculed. The situation did not improve for several days, and they urgently needed to use other big news to divert the topic. On the other hand, the pressure from "Frost and Snow Plan" was too great.

Fei Zhiyuan no longer thinks that "Mirror World Story" can easily defeat "Frost and Snow Plan" as soon as it goes online. Instead, he must go all out and use every opportunity and every bit of strength to have hope of winning.

Therefore, they have to take on this negative traffic and turn it into a boost for the new game to take off.

This has to be a big deal!
——With a monthly turnover of 8 million for "Frost and Snow Project", Fei Zhiyuan could no longer endure it and decided to speed up!

Weiguang, pilipili, Bitbite, application software opening screen ads...

Undoubtedly a big deal.

Xu Meng admired their decisiveness very much and provided assists!

So that afternoon, I used Redbook, shopping apps, menstrual period record and prediction apps, photo taking apps, photo editing apps, star chasing apps, drama chasing apps...

Promotional materials for "Mirror World Story" began to appear intensively on various software commonly used by female players and even female users!

——Of course, there are no female characters, only strong and sexy male characters!

Just click on these ads and the page will jump directly to the application page for the closed beta test of "Mirror World Story".

On Hongshu and BitYiaoren, bloggers began to appear, encouraging everyone to try it out.

Especially those bloggers who have made remarks about boxing, they are very active in posting.

On the first day, Gong Feng was only concerned with observing the surge in discussion of "Mirror World Story" on various platforms - and by the way, he recorded the rapid disappearance of content mocking Konjac Game and its boss Fei Zhiyuan so that he could report the good news to his boss, and he did not notice this unusual situation.

The next day, they began issuing testing qualifications to players.

In order to better test players' acceptance of "Mirror World Story", they deliberately reduced the testing qualifications allocated to old players of "Bird of Prey" and distributed more qualifications to new users.

After being busy all day, I still didn't notice Xu Meng's great help.

It was not until the third day, when everything was settled and the test server was about to be launched, that they realized belatedly that—

For some reason, two days ago, many apps advertised for them for free.

I went to ask what was going on, and the answer I got was:
"An order placed by Dream Building Game."

When Gong Feng heard this, he was completely stunned.

——What do you mean? Aren’t we rivals?
I want to step on you to get to the top, but not only are you not angry, you also take the initiative to help me?

So generous?

He thought there must be a conspiracy.

But I couldn't see clearly, so I had to report it to my boss quickly.

Fei Zhiyuan couldn't figure it out either.

It can't be that Zhumeng is trying to turn hostility into friendship, right?
"Any more information?"

"No." Gong Feng shook his head. "This happened two days ago. We didn't pay attention at the time."

The two looked at each other for a moment and could only ignore the matter.

After all, the popularity is given for free, and you shouldn't hit someone who smiles at you.

Then another day passed, and on August 8, four things happened at the same time:

"Frost and Snow Plan" version 1.2 is updated. The new character Qing Ling enters the [Dragon Palace Treasure Hunt] for early trial, and the little wolf girl enters the limited up pool.

[Dragon Palace Treasure Hunt] introduces two new gameplay modes: transport mode and occupation mode.

Players, fearing that the game might be shut down for a while, began playing games in revenge!

However, the spending of money on drawing cards and purchasing mall items has indeed been reduced a lot.

The new version of "Divine Bird" has been updated, and the first sexy character - the young priestess Laurna has entered the card pool.

"Divine Bird" players are passionate about drawing cards, and the card pool turnover is reaching the highest record of the year!
The first 10-day closed beta test of "Mirror World Story" has officially started.

The gender ratio of test players is surprisingly healthy.

——Almost fifty-fifty!

Finally, Yin Zhiyuan also sent a message to Xu Meng -

"Don't worry about the review. Just send the current version over and it will be approved."

Xu Meng thanked him repeatedly.

He also stated that he would immediately start optimizing the algorithm for the lightweight version of the somatosensory synchronization service.

After hanging up the phone, he informed Song Zhicheng to submit the latest client of "Frost and Snow Project" for review.

Song Zhicheng submitted it for review with trepidation.

Less than half an hour later, the audit unit passed the audit with amazing efficiency.

——When Song Zhicheng received the reply, he was completely stunned. He had never seen or even heard of such amazing review efficiency in his life!

After Xu Meng received the documents confirming that it had passed the review, he quickly posted an announcement on Weiguang, P Station and Mengjin:
[Thank you for your interest in the review of Project Frost.]
[The latest version 1.2 client of "Frost and Snow Project" has successfully passed the second review. Players can enjoy the game without worrying about being disturbed by unnecessary things.]
[Finally, we would like to thank our friendly competitors [Luzhu Games], [Miaowang Games] and [Ludao Games] for their concern about the compliance issues of "Frost and Snow Plan" and their efforts in promoting Dream Building to complete the second review.]——
Like a boulder dropped into a pond.

As soon as this announcement was issued, it caused an uproar in the gaming circle!

Dewdrop Game, Miaowang Game and Kashima Game were almost immediately scolded like sieves!
