Chapter 49 System upgrade, Plus version is online!
Lu Ming looked at everyone and said slowly: "Everyone must make good use of the game."
Everyone was in awe. As expected, no matter what,
Mr. Lu is still thinking about making the company better!
The boss listened to what they said before!
The next second, Lu Ming's smile deepened, his tone paused, and then he slowly said,
“But it’s not about just listening to the players.”
The whole place was silent. All the employees held their breath and pricked up their ears.
"When we make games, we must have our own persistence." Lu Ming's tone was calm, but his eyes were extremely firm.
“We are developers, not wishing machines.”
"If players can change it at will, then what kind of product is this game? Wouldn't it become a crowd-sourced creation?"
"Although there are many players cursing us now, I also hope everyone will remember this!"
"Players' opinions are feedback, not instructions."
“You can listen to their voices, but you can’t be led astray by their voices.”
“Our mission is to control the direction of the game, not be held hostage by the players.”
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Mr. Lu wasn't talking about listening to others' advice and having a full meal? Instead, he was asking us to go our separate ways?
Although this makes some sense,
"But Mr. Lu..." Lin Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment and reminded quietly,
"There are quite a lot of negative reviews online right now, especially the incident with the door-blocking incident... It's actually quite scary..."
"Don't worry." Lu Ming waved his hand, very calmly.
"Now our environment is safe. We have access control, security, and surveillance cameras, three layers of defense. If players want to rush in again, they have to pass through these three doors first!"
"So!" Lu Ming's tone changed and became more relaxed.
"Everyone no longer needs to be so cautious. If there is anything you usually don't dare to do, or anything you want to do but don't dare to do, you can act boldly!"
"Plan boldly! Create freely! I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong!"
Lu Ming patted his chest and vowed.
"Even if the players are collectively cursing downstairs, we can only hear an echo at best."
Everyone was at a loss as Mr. Lu's ideas were always so unique.
Only Lin Xiaoxiao was taking notes seriously.
In her opinion,
Mr. Lu's series of words are very unique and difficult to describe.
One day, she felt that she could compile these and publish them into a book called "Mr. Lu's Quotations".
…
After the general meeting, Lu Ming was in a very good mood and returned to his personal office humming a little tune.
This is the most luxurious room in Jingyue’s new headquarters. With floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, one can directly overlook the bustling street scenes of the entire core area of Shanghai.
In addition, there is an oversized boss chair and a thick walnut desk.
It is grand enough and holds a lot of cups.
While Lu Ming was making tea, he opened the [System Panel] in his mind.
【Company Name: Whale Leap Game Company】
[Company Funds: 4.26 million yuan (A rise in moral level has been detected, and the host can withdraw 4% to their personal account upon settlement)]
Personal property: 3.25 million yuan
Moral Debt Value: 120626
[Moral Level: Gaze into the Abyss]
[It is detected that the debt value of the moral debtor system exceeds 100,000, and the system can be upgraded]
Lu Ming was stunned and quickly checked the system update log.
He hadn't looked closely before, and hadn't noticed that the debt value could be upgraded after it exceeded 100,000.
Isn’t this a waste!
【upgrade! 】
Lu Ming decisively decided to upgrade, thinking that system updates might be a good thing.
[System Upgrading...]
【System upgrade successful! 】
[Congratulations to the host, you have unlocked the Moral Debt System Plus version! ]
A golden light flashed, and the interface switched. The new system interface was simple and efficient, and a row of upgrade logs appeared at the bottom.
[Moral Debt System Plus Edition updates are as follows:]
[1. Customizable settlement cycles (e.g. monthly, bimonthly, quarterly, semi-annual, annual) are now available.]
The longer the settlement period, the higher the profit multiplier!
Calculation method: If the current base multiplier is 8, for every month the settlement period is extended, an additional 1x settlement multiplier will be added, provided that the requirements are met.
Example: If you choose to settle after three months, the settlement ratio is 8 + 3 = 11 times
Note: If the standard is not met, the multiplier will be invalid, regardless of the length of the cycle.
【2. Random reward mechanism is enabled】
In each settlement cycle, if the moral debt value exceeds 100,000, you will receive a random system reward.
3. Player Emotion Dashboard Launched
The system will no longer display moral debt value data in real time.
Replace it with the emotional curve of users across the entire network affected by Whale Leap, and monitor emotional dynamics in real time.
Current player emotions: Angry (63%), Waiting and Watching (22%), Overwhelmed (10%), Running Away (5%)
[4. Moral level and cashback rate adjustments (effective after this settlement)]
Moral flaw: 0-10000 debt value, 0 times
Humanity decline: 10001~50000 debt value, 2 times
Notorious: 50001-100000 debt value, 4 times
Abyss Gaze: 100001~500000 debt value, 6 times
Capital Sin: 500,001 to 1,000,000 debt value, 8 times
Chaos Resonance: Over 1 million in debt value, 10 times
Levels are reassessed every settlement period and cannot be retained or accumulated.
…
Lu Ming stared at the system interface, feeling a little helpless!
The difficulty of this system has obviously been increased! I just made some money from this system, and you're already adjusting the difficulty?
Previously, if his debt value exceeded 100,000, he could directly obtain 8 times the debt value.
But now, this requirement has been raised to 500,000!
Moreover, the real-time data will no longer be displayed.
This made Lu Ming, who was used to micro-management, very uncomfortable.
Lu Ming couldn't help but hiss, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed through his heart.
Can this system be flashed and returned to the previous version?
If he had known earlier, he should have chosen not to upgrade. Too fast version iteration is not a good thing.
"Doesn't this mean...from now on I can't always see how successful I've been at being scolded?"
However, you are the system and you have the final say!
Anyway, it won’t affect the settlement at the end of this month!
Lu Ming put the teacup down heavily, let out a long breath, and slowly leaned back into his boss chair.
However, although the panel format has changed, the upgrade of this system is not all bad.
The settlement period can be extended as desired, which is a real advantage.
"If I delay it for three months, the settlement rate will be tripled... If I wait until the end of the year, wouldn't that be a huge turnaround?"
Lu Ming thought carefully, if he had ten games like "氪命修仙",
The debt value easily exceeds one million, and then chooses to settle it after ten months.
Isn’t that a 20-fold return?
This obviously has more room for maneuver!
Lu Ming rubbed his hands and regained his fighting spirit.
"Honestly, although this system upgrade seemed unpleasant at first, after careful consideration... it really is tailor-made for me."
I'll get the money by the end of this month.
If the settlement is delayed a little longer, the net worth will increase by several small goals!
Lu Ming thought about the next development, his eyes became even more enthusiastic!
Just as I was thinking hard, the system suddenly popped up another prompt sound:
[Ding! Detected that the host's moral debt value for this cycle has exceeded 100,000]
[Random rewards have been generated, do you want to claim them immediately? ]
Lu Ming's eyes lit up: "Here it comes, my 100,000 yuan prize!"
He immediately clicked the [Receive] button.
The next second, a light flashed in my mind.
[Drawing in progress...]
[Congratulations to the host, you have received the reward: Marketing Random Explosion Point Generator (one-time)]
Activation cost: 30,000 moral debt points
Effect: Automatically implant a highly controversial design point into the game, triggering a public opinion storm and bringing large-scale exposure!
Note: The effective time is uncertain, and the probability of positive and negative public opinion is 50% each.
When Lu Ming saw the reward, his pupils shrank slightly.
“This thing…”
Lu Ming touched his chin with a complicated expression.
"It's a good thing. It can really make a noise, but..."
He glanced at the calendar.
Today is only the middle of the month, and there is still about half a month left before this round of settlement.
Moreover, if you want to use it, you will need to consume 30,000 in debt value.
Too expensive, not worth it.
"If we spend another 30,000, the moral debt value will be back below 90,000..."
"If I don't rush back in time and my level drops, won't I be at a huge loss?"
And more importantly,
This prop has a random explosion point, and we don’t know when it will take effect. It can only cause controversy, but the direction is completely uncontrollable!
"There's even a 50% chance of it being heads... In other words, there's only a 50% chance I'll get scolded?"
"What a shame! This thing should be saved for a last-ditch battle, or when the debt value is high!"
Lu Ming knew very well that now was not the time to mess around.
He had experienced the pain of opening champagne in the middle of the game before.
At present, the negative public opinion of "氪命修仙" has almost fermented.
What he should do next is not to advance recklessly, but to stabilize the current situation, accumulate more debt value, and prepare for the settlement and harvest at the end of the month!
Lu Ming exited the system interface and did not plan to use this thing for the time being.
"Stability is the most important thing. You can charge, but you can't charge blindly."
