Chapter 39 New Game Operation Strategies The thirty-ninth chapter of game development...
The two men looked pitiful, and their weeping was even more pitiful. They limped in front of the prayer mat, crying and complaining: "...We brothers come from a remote place in the west. We originally wanted to come here as soon as possible, but unfortunately we met our enemies on the way and were beaten up, which caused us to miss our opportunity."
"What a pity, we brothers missed this rare opportunity."
The others on the prayer mats didn't look at the two Taoists, but Hongyun, who was always soft-hearted, couldn't help but show a trace of pity on her face when she saw how pitiful the two were.
After noticing Hongyun's wavering, Jieyin and Zhunti's expressions became increasingly exaggerated as they chanted and meditated as they approached Hongyun.
“Master, we brothers would like to ask you for a seat. The west is remote, and if we can complete our studies and return, we can spread our teachings to the people of the west.” Jieyin, limping, humbly and sincerely asked Hongyun for a seat.
Kunpeng sneered, "Where did this beggar come from? He's shameless, trying to steal a great opportunity with nothing but empty words."
But he did not directly refute who Jieyin was, but simply wiped away his tears and said, "This time it is indeed of great importance to the interests of the West. We brothers had no choice but to do this."
Hongyun was soft-hearted to begin with, and at this moment she couldn't help but speak up for the two Taoists: "Fellow Taoist, there's no need for this. Perhaps these two fellow Taoists are indeed in a difficult situation."
“I’ve reserved this seat for a good friend, so it’s really inconvenient to give it to someone else.” Hongyun turned to Guiyin Zhunti and shook her head.
Seeing that Hongyun's path was blocked, and with a friend who looked quite imposing standing behind him to support him, he really wasn't confident in facing the two of them.
The two remained in their pitiful state, while Zhunti's eyes swept over everyone on the prayer mat.
The three people sitting in front are none other than the famous Kunlun Three Pure Ones. The three brothers are of the same blood and are all extraordinary. They should not be provoked.
The fourth person seated was Hongyun. Hongyun was a well-known good-natured person in the prehistoric world, with a wide circle of friends. Not only did he have many friends behind him, but there were also countless friends in this hall who could back him up and make him untouchable.
The fifth one was a female cultivator, with a human head and a snake's body, and no one in the prehistoric world had ever heard of her. However, she had an older brother behind her, whose eyes were fixed on them, clearly telling them not to have any designs on their siblings.
Thus, only one choice remained. Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged glances and both aimed at Kunpeng, who had just mocked them. This man was solitary and had a volatile temper, making him the perfect target for the two brothers.
Although there was only one seat available, it was still a good opportunity for the two of them to get one.
Once the two brothers reached a consensus, they returned to Kunpeng's side, still in their miserable state.
At that moment, Hongyun received another message:
[Yuan Yi: Brother Hongyun, the Dao Ancestor has other plans for me in this Dao discussion, so there's no need to reserve a place for me.]
Hongyun sent a screenshot to Zhen Yuanzi, only to find that he had also received the message.
“Since Yuan Yi doesn’t need this seat, why not give it to those two poor Taoists from the West? It’s not easy for them to come all this way.” Hong Yun had already softened her heart, and now she couldn’t help but discuss it with Zheng Yuanzi.
Zhen Yuanzi didn't care about the futon. Since it was his friend's seat and his own sister didn't need it, he let his friend do as he pleased.
So before the two Western sects could make a move against Kunpeng, Hongyun called the two of them over again: "It's really not easy for you to come here, so please take these seats."
Jieyin Zhunti was overjoyed and thanked Hongyun repeatedly. Even the scars on his face could not hide his radiant smile.
Although they already had one seat, neither of them wanted to give up the other.
Forget about pretending to be pitiful Westerners, the two wiped the tears off their faces and directly unleashed their oppressive power at the Kunpeng at the end.
The twelve Ancestral Witches, who already harbored resentment towards the demon race, seized the opportunity to help the two. This forced Kunpeng to relinquish his seat and stand awkwardly in the back row.
As he left, he glared hatefully at Hongyun, Jieyin Zhunti, and the Wu Clan members, clearly harboring resentment towards them.
This prayer mat was quite spiritual. After Jieyin and Zhunti managed to grab seats, they took the initiative to sit together at the end, while Nuwa's prayer mat moved forward and became the fourth prayer mat.
However, since both Westerners had secured their seats, they didn't care about the mere order of precedence. Knowing their earlier behavior had been too arrogant, they remained obediently in their seats, not forgetting to bow and greet the people on the prayer cushions around them.
Little did they know that their every move in Zixiao Palace was being observed by Daozu and Yuanyi.
Yuan Yi's face darkened. Before she left, she repeatedly told her brother to seize the opportunity, but in the blink of an eye, Hong Yun gave up his seat to those two people who were pretending to be pitiful.
"The signal from your ley lines is terrible. I sent it out a long time ago, how come my brothers only received it now?" Yuan Yi said indignantly.
Why did it have to be this time, right when these two from the West arrived in front of Hongyun, just in time for their elder brother and the others to receive the news and, naturally, give up their seats for the two of them?
With so many coincidences, Yuan Yi simply doesn't believe there wasn't some trickery involved.
Hongjun: "This is destiny; they have the opportunity to become saints."
“You already knew that.” Her words were extremely frank, and she even took the initiative to comfort Yuan Yi, “Since Hongyun has the destiny to sit on the futon, she naturally also has the opportunity to become a saint.”
Haha, so it's a case of being destined to meet but not to be together, huh? He obtained the Primordial Purple Qi but died and disappeared without a trace.
She slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly: "This is a deadly opportunity; my two brothers and I can't afford it."
Yuan Yi remembered everyone who participated in the Zixiao Palace event, especially Kunpeng, whose eyes were full of resentment after his seat was taken away, whom she marked with special emphasis.
In the Primordial Wilderness storyline, it was Kunpeng who, harboring resentment over what happened that day, ambushed Hongyun in order to seize the Primordial Purple Qi, which led to the tragedy that followed.
"This opportunity to become a saint cannot be changed, but Hongyun's death calamity can still be avoided, right?" Yuan Yi cautiously inquired.
Only after receiving Hongjun's approval did Yuanyi feel relieved.
She preserved the western ley lines, and Rahu, who lived forever in the heavens, perished in the primordial land. Who says destiny cannot be changed?
Once this matter was put aside, and nothing major happened in Zixiao Palace, Hongjun then discussed the important matter with Yuanyi.
Regarding the operation and promotion of the game "Three Thousand Guests of the Purple Clouds" and seeking subsequent support from Hongjun.
"The so-called 'Three Thousand Guests of Purple Cloud' game focuses on player growth and aims to impart the Three Thousand Great Daos. It strives to spread the correct cultivation methods in the prehistoric world as quickly as possible. It is a positive and uplifting gacha game." Yuan Yi got straight to the point, adopting the same attitude he had when showing his boss the finished product in his previous life.
He then sent the fully completed game installation package to Hongjun.
"This game will create a spawn point based on the player's location, replicating the prehistoric terrain and land 1:1, and then accept the mission of the preacher to draw cards and fight."
"Similar to the four-level cards of Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow, the Sage is singled out as a Saint-level card, and the characters in the card pool are determined by those people from Zixiao Palace who heard about it."
"The game is pre-selected to have 30 Heaven-level characters, 50 Earth-level characters, 320 Profound-level characters, and the rest Yellow-level characters. The probability of drawing cards is from hardest to easiest. If any listeners of the Purple Cloud Palace do not wish to be included in the card pool later, this can be modified."
Yuan Yi spoke eloquently, while Hong Jun, who was experiencing the game ahead of time, had already received a free 100 draws specially given to the Sage.
Unfortunately, Yuan Yi hadn't yet secured the authorization for the three thousand disciples of Zixiao Palace, so Hongjun drew nothing. He saw two Earth cards, five Mystic cards, and the rest were Yellow cards. These cards only indicated their rank; there was no information about the characters or their skills.
Fortunately, I had imported the Holy Cards that Hongjun had recorded himself in advance, which allowed me to successfully connect to the main storyline and experience the subsequent plot development.
After experiencing the gameplay for a while, Hongjun put the game down and nodded to Yuanyi, saying, "Alright."
Yuan Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. This game was a specially made game she created to capitalize on the power of the universe and fulfill her mission of spreading the Dao of Heaven. While filling in the game, she didn't forget to ask Hongjun about his vision for the future of the prehistoric land and the effects she hoped the game would achieve.
Now that the finished product is out and has indeed gained Hongjun's approval, she will have much more room to maneuver in the game.
Once the finished product passes the review, the next step is to discuss the operating model with the "boss" to ensure that the game can generate enough revenue, at least to achieve a balance between income and expenditure.
No, to be precise, based on the current state of the game, the goal is to ensure that players, developers, and the game's creators all benefit sufficiently from the game, thus promoting its long-term operation.
Yuan Yi took a deep breath: "I hope that the currency in this game can be tied to Heavenly Merit."
Upon hearing this, even Hongjun, who had already attained the Dao, showed a hint of astonishment.
Hongjun shook his head: "No." Heavenly merit is a reward from the Heavenly Dao for those with virtue. If one could gain Heavenly merit by playing a game, it would not conform to the laws of the Heavenly Dao.
Yuan Yi was not surprised by Hongjun's reaction. She immediately changed her mind and said, "Then I hope that the merits that players gain through the game can be recorded in the game account's total account, and in the future, the revenue can be distributed among the game, the card pool characters, and the players."
"Absurd!" Hongjun immediately wanted to refuse again. But Yuanyi quickly added, "After all, this game will spread the Three Thousand Great Daos throughout the primordial land in the future. This is in accordance with the will of Heaven and is a meritorious deed."
"But games require the cooperation of many parties to function. What I hope is that the merits generated by the game will be transferred through the game and distributed uniformly at regular intervals."
This is not difficult, since even the merits generated through games have their own cause and effect, and will naturally be attributed to the respective beings.
If the origin and corresponding object are not changed, and only the game is added as an intermediary, Hongjun, as the representative of the Heavenly Dao, naturally has this authority.
"Can."
Yuan Yi wanted to add more details, but unexpectedly Hongjun had already agreed, and he was overjoyed.
Although it's just a small addition to the process, the creation of the game's merit pool effectively ties the game to the powerful backing of Heaven. This not only elevates the game's status but also allows for control over the pace of game operations through the management and distribution of Heavenly Merit.
It's important to understand that the main targets of this game are the three thousand top-tier experts in Zixiao Palace. With the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor as a cover, the subsequent operations can proceed smoothly.
Hongjun naturally didn't understand the intricacies involved, but after a rough calculation, he realized that this matter would benefit both Yuanyi and his responsibility to spread the Dao, so he readily agreed.
Before long, all three thousand Great Luo Golden Immortals entered the Purple Cloud Palace, and it was time for Hongjun to preach.
Holding the game array, he invited Yuan Yi: "Go to Zixiao Palace and try out the effects of this preaching."
