Chapter 350 Special Advisor
"Huh?" Ma Lu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he thought that not long ago he had suggested that the boss should be replaced by Sister Yu, who had black stockings and thick legs.
Fortunately, Bald Man was very angry and did not hold on to this point. Instead, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay. It's my fault that I didn't make it clear before."
"So Ai Why does Master Sagan suddenly want to switch to video games?" Ma Lu asked.
“Well, recently the secret treasure left by the Lich King Glynais was found. Glynais is an outlier among the abyss lords. He is not as obsessed with expanding his territory as other abyss lords.
"Instead, he is obsessed with research, especially the research of necromancy. He is probably the first person in the entire abyss, so the appearance of the secret treasure he left behind immediately triggered a frenzy of looting from all forces.
"There has been a war in the abyss some time ago, and each family has lost a lot of men. Even the Demon King and Demon General are not immune, and many lords have even died.
“Even the forces that were lucky enough to survive were severely weakened, so the abyss lords agreed to a one-year truce and wait until next year to fight again.”
“At this time, Glinae Part of Si's research was leaked for some reason, and it was about a new type of skeleton warrior. No, that's not right, it should be more appropriately called a skeleton puppet.
"This kind of skeleton puppet is different from ordinary ones. Skeleton warriors do not require soul fire. They can be summoned using only bones found everywhere in the abyss. The manufacturing cost is almost zero.
"It can do more than a skeleton warrior who can only fight. It can be used not only as cheap cannon fodder, but also as a coolie. It just needs someone to control it."
Ma Lu has roughly understood this. What's going on with the game?
“So the character controlled by the player is the special skeleton puppet you mentioned. Now the Abyss is very short of people due to the war, so you want to use this method to increase manpower.
“ The so-called game disc should be the medium for controlling the skeleton puppet, and the game is just a disguise. You just did some local adaptation and numerical work. In fact, what happens on the other side of the screen is real.
“This is also the reason why the numerical planner complained to me before that he could change the numerical value at will, but after the modification, it would not match the reality.”
The bald man nodded, "Yes, now the abyss lords are working hard to build game studios and recruit players to work for them. This is why our Chiling project team was born."
"I also have a I don’t understand the problem,” Ma Lu said again, “There are humans in your own plane, right? Why don’t you recruit people locally, instead of looking far away, and go to our plane to recruit people?”
Bald Man? Said, "In our plane, because humans always go to the abyss to explore, the relationship between us is very poor. Each family goes to other planes to attract people."
"As far as I know, the one who has gained the most so far is the Succubus Queen Corina. She was originally just a weak Abyss Lord, and she was able to gain a foothold in the Abyss by relying on other powerful Lords.
"However, now her subordinates It is said that the number of skeleton puppets is almost over 10,000. If you give her some more time, she might become the largest force in the abyss, and what’s even worse is that she and Lord Esagon had some conflicts before..."
"What about you?" Malu asked casually.
The bald man was silent again, and after a moment he said, "My online rate is currently only in single digits, and Lord Isaacon's other groups don't seem to be going well either."
< br> "Succubus... does have a natural advantage in recruiting players." Ma Lu touched his chin and said, "It's really hard not to play with 18+ and Abyss together. Why don't you consider changing jobs? "
Baduzi also sighed, "Lord Aisagan is kind to me, and I will not leave him when he is in danger." "Boss Tutu is also a loyal person!" Malu sighed.
"In short, the situation is like this. We are aware of some of the suggestions you made in the room before, such as the problem of wasting time on the road, but it is really difficult to modify. Even if we change the numbers here, it is just a change of numbers. "
"Yeah, I basically understand, that is to say, what you can do is mainly front-end and operational work."
"Yes." He took another puff of cigarette and asked tentatively, "Boss Ma, do you think there is still a possibility of rescue for us?"
"Of course," Ma Lu said, "After all, you have a good foundation, exploring the theme of the abyss. It is also attractive to many players. Although it is too real, it is a problem, but it is not a fatal problem.
“It can be saved if it is well managed, and even shortcomings can be turned into advantages. Although hardcore players are still there. The proportion of the player base is not that high, but it is not completely absent.
"And even if the operation is not good, as long as we buy crazy amounts, if the base is large, we will always encounter people like me."
The bald man frowned, "But we can't buy on a large scale. Quantity... I promised the city manager to keep a low profile, and it would be best not to step outside the scope of City B. "Then we can only think of ways to do it in terms of operations," Ma Lu said.
"I wonder if Boss Ma is interested in joining our project team and guiding us in operations." Bald Tuzi extended the invitation again. He was very sincere.
“To be honest, we are good at fighting, but this is our first time operating a game. Although I have read some books on this before, due to my lack of experience, I have only a limited understanding of many things.
"We are really short of talents in this field now, and the city manager does not allow us to harass ordinary people."
"But I already have my own business." Ma Lu said.
"I know that of course we will not affect the normal operation of your restaurant. We just hope that you can guide us when you are free. I plan to hire you to be a special consultant for our Chiling project team."
"In terms of basic salary, I can pay you 800 star coins per month."
Bald Man also knows that this amount is a bit small, but the problem is that he does not have enough money, otherwise he would not The 14 people who came out for group building only ordered 12 dishes.
Malu thought for a moment, neither refused nor agreed immediately, but asked again, "What about the operating income of the game?"
"Operating income?" The bald man was a little strange, "Boss Ma, what are you referring to?" Is it the currency of this plane? Although we are a game project team, we are not an ordinary game project team. Money does not mean much to us.
"It is right for players to play our games. This is our biggest help, and our online rate is not ideal. If we charge more at this time, wouldn't it be equivalent to driving away another group of players? "
"No, no, no, you are not players and do not understand the joy of filling up the game with krypton gold. "Ma Lu said, "Moreover, recharging money will also help increase the player's stickiness. When you want to give up the game, think about the sunk costs you have paid, and you may bite the bullet and stay again. ”
