Chapter 146 Two Directions
Si Jinliang and Shi Wanglin were shocked.

True love.

They really didn't expect that Tang Yao would not only change the entire rules of the game, but also take out the card deck...

No.

How on earth did they do this?!
Such a boss puts too much pressure on people.

Especially Si Jinliang, he looked at the paper in his hand, as if it weighed a thousand pounds.

She's so cute.

How can we live like this?!

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Tang Yao noticed that their expressions were a little strange, so she tilted her head and asked.

"..."

After hearing this, the two men looked at the beautiful girl in front of them again.

what happened?
The two didn't want to talk.

but.

After all, the two of them had not played the game yet, and many things were still to be verified, so they were mainly curious and did not say anything. They just looked at Tang Yao strangely, and then immediately started to set up the stage, waiting for Tang Yao to give the detailed data of the cards.

……

Next.

The "Dou Pai" project team, consisting of only two people, was working very hard...

And at the same time.

external.

The popularity of FGO continues to rise.

Many major game companies can no longer sit still after seeing the popularity of FGO.

Although the revenue of the game has not been revealed for this new version, many major game companies have their own professional analysis teams. Even if there is no one to analyze, the senior executives of many game companies have also keenly noticed it.

Very profitable!
Two-dimensional games are really profitable!

That studio called Avalon is really lucky!

soon.

Many major companies have begun to express, either explicitly or implicitly, that their companies will also launch mobile games.

Well, they are all two-dimensional.

Because they had a tacit understanding, they started to promote the two-dimensional mobile game together.

When FGO was first released, some people were hesitant and thought it was an isolated incident.

Now, the new version of FGO is still as popular as ever, maybe even more so! Even ANF, a website that specializes in the anime, has risen to prominence because of anime games.

Many veteran investors immediately realized that this market has great potential.

foreseeable.

Next, a large wave of second-level tours is coming.

As the first mover, FGO has made a fortune quietly amidst the undercurrent.

Because they are promoting 2D games, but their 2D games have not been made yet, and in the end they all point to FGO.

but.

The purpose of these people doing this is obviously not good... They have also noticed the ANF website. The reason they are building up momentum is not only for their own upcoming second game, but also to get players to accept the second game in a short period of time.

After all, no one wants to go to ANF to promote the game once it is released.

Some news simply cannot be kept secret.

For example, ANF was acquired by Avalon Studios.

Avalon Studio itself is a game developer. Putting the game on their channel is like walking into a tiger's mouth.

Even if Avalon Studio doesn't have any ulterior motives... its own channels are still more attractive.

Especially for those big companies.

To some extent, this can be regarded as a prelude to the competition for channels.

However, Avalon Studio did not participate in this industry promotion event. Instead, it slowed down the pace of publicity and promotion, and continued to use the ANF site ecosystem to complete the accumulation of precise users.

As for Avalon, core resources have begun to shift towards another product.

Anyway, the biggest resource of Tang Yao’s studio... has already been tilted towards "Dou Pai".

Just when Tang Yao finished describing the cards of the two decks, Protection Warrior and Zoo, as well as detailing some of the game mechanics.

Avalon Studio was also officially upgraded to a company.

The company reorganized its departments and adjusted the new office area, and everything became orderly.

Li Xue is mainly responsible for this aspect.

Tang Yao didn't ask much and didn't seem worried at all.

But at present, the changes are still not big.

Mainly ANF went downstairs.

Before New Year’s Day.

The last day of the year.

Tang Yao gave the descriptions and mechanism explanations of the two decks to Si Jinliang and Shi Wanglin.

Si Jinliang and Shi Wanglin were overjoyed and immediately prepared to make these two card decks and try them out.

After Tang Yao watched the two of them leave, she suddenly felt free. She was a little uncomfortable and sat in her seat in a daze for a while.

Mainly because she was too busy working on FGO recently...things kept coming one after another. She was used to this pace.

Although FGO still needs to be developed later, it is obviously not so urgent, and "Fighting Cards" will have to wait...

"What are you thinking about?"

Li Xue's voice suddenly rang out.

Tang Yao came back to her senses and looked at the slender figure standing beside her. A bright smile appeared on her face: "Nothing... How are you? Are you tired?"

"good."

Li Xue pulled a chair over and sat down next to Tang Yao. She brushed her long, silky hair that draped over her shoulders, then said, "I'm still getting used to a lot of things. If I do something wrong, remember to point it out..."

"Don't worry, you're doing great."

Reform matters.

Although Tang Yao didn't ask much...but she was still very clear about what Li Xue had done.

These are actually the things she has always wanted to do.

But she really didn't have the energy during that time.

For example, adjusting the office area.

Now Li Xue helped her do it.

have to say.

It's nice to have help.

"Just coax me."

Li Xue chuckled and said, "If I mess up someday, I won't be able to compensate you... At most, I can compensate you with one person."

Tang Yao opened and closed her beautiful, round legs under the table, knocking her knees lightly, and then replied, "Okay, go ahead and do it."

"..."

Li Xue looked at Tang Yao's profile and pursed her red lips gently, but she quickly reacted and shook her head: "By the way, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"Ok?"

"Regarding ANF, I've learned about their situation. You're planning to turn this website into a joint operation channel for 2D games, right?"

"Correct."

"The situation seems to be getting worse recently. Aren't other game companies trying to build momentum? With the release of ACG games one after another, their own channels are starting to gain momentum, and I feel like this will have an impact on ANF... I'm not referring to the website itself, but the website's subsequent profit model."

"You mean... you're worried that no other games will be willing to operate in partnership with the website?"

"Yes, because I feel that ANF's advantage isn't big enough yet... If someone comes up with something similar and is willing to invest in it, there's still a risk, so we'd better take advantage of this period to slightly expand our advantage."

"..."

Hearing this, Tang Yao stopped tapping her knees, moved her chair around, and put her knee against Li Xue's knee. She asked with bright eyes, "What do you think?"

"My thoughts... I think the animation sector isn't doing well. The shows on the market right now are all the same stuff, and they're not particularly appealing to users. And the cost of exclusivity is too high, unless we produce it ourselves, but we're clearly not there yet."

Li Xue looked thoughtful upon hearing this and slowly said, "So I think we should just purchase animations as normal to fill the content library and solidify ANF's focus on the 2D world. We will mainly focus on the comics section and introduce some unique comics to attract 2D users.

After all, our website just happens to have "Fate/Zero"... The comics section itself is very popular. As long as we set a benchmark, have a hit work, and combine it with a competitive remuneration and profit-sharing mechanism, we won't have to worry about not being able to attract more cartoonists in the future."

"Makes sense."

Tang Yao's beautiful eyes brightened as she looked at the beautiful lady in deep thought in front of her.

Not only beautiful and gentle, but also sharp and capable.

Li Xue raised her head and hesitated, "But...most of the comics I've come across are female-oriented. This type of comic is indeed needed, but I have to admit that if we want to attract more ACG users... we still have to focus on male-oriented comics."

Tang Yao came back to her senses and asked curiously, "So you want me to draw?"

"...I can try to contact some cartoonists, but most of the big cartoonists have signed contracts, so it's hard to convince them to come. And as for unknown cartoonists, their abilities are limited."

Li Xue shook her head and replied, "My idea is, on the one hand, to discover talented artists who can draw and write, and on the other hand, to find some painters with good painting skills. Then you can come up with the story outline and let them draw it."

"I'll give you the story outline?"

"Ah."

Li Xue explained: "This way you can relax a little, right?"

"Um……"

Tang Yao fell into deep thought after hearing this, and the popular comics in her previous life kept flashing through her mind.

But there are very few suitable ones.

because……

Tang Yao asked for confirmation: "What we need is a comic that has a hot topic and can attract ACG users in a short period of time, right?"

Li Xue nodded. "Well, at this point in time, this type of content is indeed more suitable. It would be best if we could establish ANF's position in the ACG world before the emergence of a large number of ACG games."

"That goes in two directions."

Tang Yao hesitated for a moment and pointed at herself: "Or I can draw it myself. I have a comic that I think is quite suitable for the current situation. It is guaranteed to attract readers and bring in a lot of attention."

"What kind? Fate series?"

"No, it should be considered... a mental illness?"

Li Xue was stunned, her mouth slightly open: "Ah? Mental illness? What exactly is it about?"

Tang Yao thought for a moment and replied, "It's hard to summarize, but the name is... 'Chainsaw Man'."

"..."

Li Xue was curious when she heard the name, but after thinking for a moment, she didn't rush to ask any more questions. Instead, she returned to the previous topic: "What about the second direction?"

"The second direction... Miss Li, have you heard of the Rebirth, Revenge, and Regret Stream?"
