Chapter 55: Speechless facing the world of immortal cultivation!
At the same time, at the headquarters of Jingyue Games, office area on the 33rd floor.
The entire development team and operations team are in their daily morning meeting.
Zhou Bowen was thinking about the forum monitoring data.
"...Yesterday, the overall level of public opinion decreased by 13%, and related negative terms decreased by 32%. Across the entire forum, negative views have begun to turn a corner."
The meeting room was silent.
Zhao Qiliang drank his coffee lazily, his eyebrows slightly raised, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Well, why don't the players curse anymore?"
Zhou Bowen also looked confused: "We don't know either. I opened the forum these days and... saw a bunch of players posting their clothes."
"Things like the Banxia Liuyun Robe, the Burning Love Short Skirt, and the Luoxia Light Veil... Someone even created a special thread called "The Red Witch Player's Outfit Diary."
The conference room fell into a brief silence.
After a few seconds, Zhao Qiliang finally reacted.
He has been busy with mobile games these days and has paid less attention to the PC side.
He just looked at the post on the forum and figured it out.
This is the channel he designed to earn spirit stones that has become popular!
Zhao Qiliang felt somewhat relieved!
Who would have thought that this secondary occupation system that I casually built would greatly enrich the gameplay of the game?
This game seems to be gaining momentum!
Finally, I don’t have to be scolded all the time! Mr. Lu doesn’t have to lock himself in the office all the time!
For a moment, the entire conference room fell into a complicated silence.
After a moment, a colleague couldn't help but ask a soul-searching question:
"Wait...should we be happy?"
"Players stopped scolding us, and the game atmosphere started to improve... This should be a good thing."
It's been a while since I saw players scolding them, they're still a little unresponsive!
"Yeah, it's been a while since the forums have had so many posts sharing pictures and gameplay instructions. I even saw someone write a tutorial specifically about making money as a secondary profession, like 'The Refining Tailor's Counterattack' and 'Gold Farming Studio: Earning Over 10,000 Yuan a Month with No Krypton'..."
"Our game seems to be...recovering a bit."
Han Meimei also whispered,
"What's even more outrageous is that the number of newly registered users has increased recently, and some of them are converted from player sharing."
"And the number of returning old players has also begun to slowly increase..."
“…”
After the discussion, everyone gradually realized a fact:
The ecosystem of "氪命修仙" seems to be repairing itself in a completely unexpected direction!
The sub-job system that was previously criticized by everyone as "unplayable" has actually become a new way out.
Civilian players who were previously unable to spend money have now found their place.
Players like Zhu Hao have started a whole trend of "player-made clothing."
With the entry of the gold farming studio, the gameplay of the entire game was accidentally divided into two parallel worlds.
On one side is a high-intensity krypton gold combat zone:
Nascent Soul stage, sect battle, magic weapon competition, recharge and combat power.
On one side is the free economic work zone:
Secondary professional player, small vendor, red witch, collect materials, make equipment, and hang out in the market.
The former is still full of criticism, but the latter has formed a community atmosphere of "affordable, self-sufficient and interesting".
Players on both sides, you play yours, I play mine!
After Jingyue's technical team started collecting data, they were confused.
These two groups of people are so harmonious!
…
Next door, in the boss's private office.
The sound insulation here is very good. Lu Ming sits alone behind his desk.
There is still one week left before the settlement. Now, he is in a very good mood.
We are even thinking about the next investment and game plan.
Coming back to his senses, Lu Ming opened the [Player Emotion Dashboard] somewhat uncomfortably.
After taking a look at the data, he was completely stunned.
【Player sentiment analysis】:
Angry: 39%
Waiting and seeing: 8%
Top: 32%
Comfortable: 17%
On the run: 4%
“…”
Lu Ming's face froze.
He quickly refreshed the interface and clicked in again to confirm the data.
The result is still the same.
"I got 32 on the top and 17 on the easy side. This is my immortal cultivation game!"
Lu Ming was completely upset.
Remember, last week, the ratings for this page were: [Angry] 68%, [Waiting] 22%!
That's what we call prosperity, that's what we call a business blueprint!
As a result, after just a few days of not paying attention, the value directly reversed!
This is like the sickle he was about to extend into the chive field.
I looked down and suddenly found that the leeks had turned into green onions!
“How can this be right?”
"Something must have happened!"
"The system sentiment dashboard can't be wrong. Why are all the players who were previously on the sidelines now playing the game? There are also more and more people getting addicted, which means..."
"These players, after all this cursing, some have actually started to like this game!"
Lu Ming suddenly stood up from his chair and walked outside quickly while thinking.
When something like this happens, there must be something going on in the development department!
He tried to keep his tone steady, but his heart was in turmoil.
Walking to the entrance of the development department, he gently pushed the door open.
The atmosphere inside was lively and bustling, with employees from the technical team and marketing department gathered around a computer, the screen full of forum screenshots and data analysis.
Han Meimei was standing nearby, saying excitedly,
"Look, this post about the Qi Refining Tailor's Counterattack has become a trending topic. There's even a video about someone making money as a secondary profession, and it's been viewed over 10,000 times!"
Lu Ming stood at the door, listening quietly, trying hard to keep his face expressionless.
He cleared his throat, walked over, and tried to sound gentle.
"Qiliang, everyone, stop for a moment. I have something to ask you. What's going on with this game?"
Zhao Qiliang pushed his glasses slightly, looked up at everyone, and said excitedly:
"Mr. Lu, you also know it."
"The user activity curve of our "氪命修仙" is recovering!"
"Although the loss of players who spent money on games has not been recovered, the group of players who focus on lifestyle games has seen a slight explosive growth, especially among female users and students!"
Lu Ming's mouth twitched. Sure enough, the number of users has increased!
"Why...why are there so many more people playing?"
"Boss, our secondary job system is a huge success."
"success!"
Zhao Qiliang was stunned: "Oh, that's right!"
"Boss, haven't you always wanted to make this game popular? The sub-job system is quite popular now, and new users and old players are returning. Isn't this... a good thing?"
Lu Ming stared at the two of them with disbelief written all over his face. He thought to himself:
"This is not the good thing I want!"
Then, Lu Ming keenly caught the key words Zhao Qiliang said,
"Sub-professional system?"
I don’t think I’ve heard of this thing before!
Lu Ming looked at Zhao Qiliang. After all, he was the one who developed this game.
"You're the one who created the secondary job system, right? When I asked you to design it, didn't I tell you to keep it simple and perfunctory, and not take it too seriously?
Look at the forums now, they are full of pictures and tutorials, what’s going on?
Zhao Qiliang was stunned for a moment, a look of embarrassment on his face.
He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then whispered a reminder,
"Boss Lu, you agreed to this at the beginning, saying that you would find a way to earn spirit stones.
We need to give players some hope! We can’t let them feel like they’re getting something for free!”
"So, I followed this idea and created alchemy, tailoring, and forging, and also added a trading market. I figured players always need something to do, otherwise just fighting would be pretty monotonous..."
"Look, now players are getting great feedback on their daily life professions by collecting materials and completing side quests. The forums are all praising it."
"Praise"
Lu Mingchou felt like crying, he finally knew the main reason for the data changes!
Although Zhao Qiliang's starting point was good, in Lu Ming's heart, he really hoped that the other party had not set off!
Seeing Zhao Qiliang's excitement, Lu Ming sorted out his thoughts and said seriously,
"Then tell me, if the forum praises us, does that mean we are wrong?"
Zhao Qiliang: ""
"Do you still remember the positioning of "氪命修仙" (Krypton! Life! Cultivation of Immortality)?"
Lu Ming gritted his teeth and emphasized each word.
"We're not a job simulator! We're not a clothing management game! We're not a tailor training platform!"
"So you came up with this system, and now the whole server is obsessed with it! The front page of the forum is a guide to dressing up as the Red Witch, and the hot post is a summary of tailoring skills and experience!"
"Aren't you going astray? How can I face the traditional world of immortal cultivation?"
