You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 160: Taoyuan Township is too fond of players (Please order)

There were many highly praised comments in the Weibo comment section:

"Is this true? What does it mean to have us endorse your products? Is there any endorsement fee?"

"I never thought that after I grew up, I would be treated like a celebrity. I'm still a little shy."

"Inviting all players to be spokespersons is something no manufacturer has ever done before. Taoyuan Township is awesome."

Wang Fanqie was completely confused and had no idea what the endorsement would look like.

I had to close Weibo and switch back to the game.

After the plot at the Audrey Opera House, an "Endorsement Invitation" pops up on the game's main interface.

"Dear Taoyuanxiang users, we sincerely invite you to become the global spokesperson for this game."

"As a reward for this endorsement, you'll receive a 20% lifetime discount on the cost of playing this game!"

"Also, as a global spokesperson, you don't have to fulfill any endorsement responsibilities; you just need to be listed."

"Happy gaming~"

The barrage refreshes the screen:

"A permanent 20% discount on game fees, with no obligations to fulfill, isn't this just a disguised benefit for players?"

"Indeed, it smells amazing!"

"Look at this layout, it's worthy of being called Taoyuan Township!"

"Global spokesperson, that sounds like the treatment of a big star, hehe~"

"They really made me cry to death!"

"Fuck, being a player in Taoyuan Township is so pampered by the company. I want to join the game now!"

And, it’s not over yet.

Because Wang Fanqie's game time exceeded 48 hours, the free trial period ended and the game popped up a payment reminder.

The game does not use a monthly card system like "My Leisurely Island Owner Life", but a daily card system.

The original price was 1 yuan for 24 hours of play, but because of the discount offered by hiring players to endorse the game, it became 8 cents for a day of play.

In other words, you only need 24 yuan per month to play unlimitedly.

Apart from this, the game does not have any additional charges for props.

How well the game can be played depends entirely on the player's ability and opportunity.

When the audience saw the charging standards, they were stunned:

"This game looks like it cost a lot to invest in. With such a low price tag, will Taoyuan Township go bankrupt?"

"With prices these days, what can you get out of 80 cents a day? It's less than the price of a bottle of mineral water, but it can bring you a whole day of happiness. Why would you need a bicycle?"

"Fuck, this bargain price is like helping poor people like us who are starving for games."

"Free and Easy Talking Life is my problem. I can tolerate any small bugs in the game!"

Many viewers in the live broadcast room also compared this game to Boss Simulator:
"Don't even mention it. Su Yufan's endorsement is terrible. Youyi spent a huge amount of money, but the spokesperson didn't work. They might as well pass the money on to the players."

"Indeed, Su Yufan hasn't broadcast anything since that livestream. To put it bluntly, using a popular celebrity to endorse a game isn't a good idea in itself. Don't force integration if you're not in the same circle."

……

After the live broadcast on the second day, the number of simultaneous online players reached 30!
The number of simultaneous online users of Boss Simulator dropped to 28.

That night, the chat group of the Mouth Cannon Life project team was quite lively.

Zhang Fan flattered him:

"Boss Liu is awesome! This strategy of hiring players as spokespersons not only mitigates Youyi's plan to hire Su Yufan, but also provides an excuse to give players benefits. It also helped our game become a major hit."

This is a brilliant plan that kills three birds with one stone!"

Liu Mengyuan replied calmly:
"This is all thanks to Lu Yu. If he hadn't said during our Suzhou trip, 'Everyone here is a spokesperson for life,' I wouldn't have been able to come up with this idea so quickly."

Yao Jun was completely impressed:

"Although Mr. Lu always looks relaxed and carefree, like a hands-off boss,

But in fact, he knows everything and knows everything!
Perhaps the achievements we have made now are already within Mr. Lu's expectations."

Hao Shuwen agreed, "Of course. This little achievement is only mediocre at best in the eyes of this old master who's in charge."

Zhao Yuhang: "Honestly, the game's theme song MV is pretty good too. We found Mo Ge to be a temporary actor, and that was the right decision!"

Liu Mengyuan smiled slightly, hiding his achievements and fame.

Since she decided on the spokesperson plan, she chose Mo Xiaoxuan as the protagonist, shot this short MV with a handheld DV, and even indulged in the feeling of being a director.

Chu Xiong said dissatisfiedly:
"But what the hell was that reward plot with Mo Xiaoxuan and Miyamoto Fan? Tell me the truth, did you have any ulterior motives? @Zhang Fan."

Zhang Fan said with a guilty conscience, "Well, there's no such thing as a private affair. I just thought that our sister Naitang also has the surname Mo, so I just gave her a random name." Chu Xiong: "Good boy, Mo Xiaoxuan is indeed the incarnation of the fourth sister. You have bad intentions towards sister Naitang..."

Sun Rou asked curiously, "But why is Mo Xiaoxuan's gender 'unknown'?"

Zhang Fan: "I don't know about that. This was all Mr. Liu's idea."

Liu Mengyuan made a funny expression and said, "This... is all a secret."

……

While the development team in Taoyuan Township was enjoying themselves, the atmosphere inside the Youyi Company building was becoming increasingly gloomy.

Zou Zhongtian looked at the increasing number of negative reviews on Weibo and forums with a grim face.

In fact, at the beginning, the prop charging model of Boss Simulator made many players reluctantly play it.

After all, the general environment of the gaming industry is so bad that it’s good enough to have some fun.

As a result, many players couldn't sit still when they saw that Taoyuan Township's charging model was so conscientious.

They all went to Zou Zhongtian’s Weibo and angrily ranted:

"Frostwolf Studios, did you accidentally type an extra zero in the price of your game items?"

"People in Mouth Cannon Life have a day pass system. You can play for a whole day for 8 cents, which is only 24 yuan a month. Everything can be obtained from within the game."

"Your game is impossible without money. Running the business, decorating the business, and socializing all require money. VIP membership can even speed up time."

"Even a battle pass that only offers a tiny reward costs 79 yuan. Isn't that too expensive?"

Zou Zhongtian felt bitter and indescribable.

No one expected that Taoyuan Township would stab Youyi so fiercely in the back over game pricing.

It even collaborates with spokespersons strategically to launch a damn combination punch!
Seeing the players' complaints getting more and more unpleasant, and remembering that these moves were all used by the interns he fired, Zou Zhongtian finally broke down and started leaving messages to fight back against the players:
"How is it expensive? Youyi's monthly battle pass has been priced the same for years. Don't talk nonsense.

Domestic games are difficult to make. I have been following Frostwolf for many years. I know best how it rose to prominence. Do you know how difficult it has been for Frostwolf Studios over the years?
If you think it's too expensive, sometimes you should look back at yourself and ask yourself whether your salary has increased over the years and whether you have worked hard enough.

After Zou Zhongtian finished his big talk, he finally felt relieved and closed his computer and went to sleep.

He didn't know that these remarks would cause even greater backlash from players.

Many players are hard-working workers who play games just to escape reality and relax, but they end up being ridiculed by game officials, so they are naturally furious.

His Weibo account was quickly overwhelmed by angry users:

"I bought a watch last year!"

"Our money didn't come from the wind, so don't treat us like idiots."

"Ah, six hundred and six hundred and sixty-six, players are ridiculed for spending money. So we're just walking ATMs."

"RNM refunds the money!"

"Let's go, everyone, get organized and ask Youyi to issue an invoice!"

There are also players who took screenshots of Zou Zhongtian’s outrageous remarks and uploaded them to D Station. Many game zone UP hosts also started groups to release videos:

"Frostwolf Studios, who gave you the confidence to mock players?"

"Zou Zhongtian, look here. You're just a lousy worker. What's so arrogant about you?"

"From Zou Zhongtian's bragging incident, we can see the arrogance of game industry practitioners."

……

At this time, Shi Yi, the general manager of Youyi Company, had no idea that his subordinates had caused such a big mess.

The fact that Mouth Cannon had 30 people online at the same time obviously made him even more anxious.

Shi Yi called his secretary over with a gloomy look on his face.

"Go to our technical team and make some corrections to the various displayed data of Mouth Cannon Life on the Youyi platform.

For example, a 5-star positive review can be corrected to a 1-star negative review.

For example, the number of online users, sales volume, and download volume can all be appropriately modified.

In addition, the player reviews in the comment section can also be used for work.

Remember, try to use different proxy IPs, do things cleanly, and don't affect the reputation and image of the platform."

After assigning these, he held his chin with both hands, breathed a sigh of relief, and sneered.

You little brats, do you really think you can do whatever you want on Youyi's platform?

……

On Sunday, Wang Fanqie’s live broadcast room started the third day of his life journey of talking nonsense.

Because the previous live broadcast slicing effect was overwhelming, the popularity of the live broadcast room soared to 600 million today.
