Chapter 228 Crisis (Update 37)
Lin Wen did not indulge in the joy of success.
This success was completely natural to him.
While others were still immersed in the sea of celebration, Lin Wen was already thinking about the next development plan.
He asked Qi Mu to recruit more game developers to develop more content for the new version of the ship.
The first thing to add is the Shabak siege system, which is the essence of the legend of the past.
Second, we need to develop new maps, new monsters, and new equipment.
Create more and cooler BOSSes, and equip each BOSS with exclusive dropped weapons.
The image of the BOSS should not be too gorgeous, but it should have a heavy sense of sedimentation. The death special effect is of utmost importance. It should have a feeling of bursting a balloon filled with water, so as to stimulate the secretion of dopamine.
There must also be a sense of equipment exploding, which must be a process where it explodes all at once and covers the entire ground.
Third, the new equipment should be heavy in shape, not fancy like a plastic shell, but should have a sense of sedimentation, like real heavy armor, simple, restrained, and powerful. The stronger the equipment, the heavier it is.
Of course, style is also a must, and inscriptions, runes, and various mysterious but powerful marks are indispensable.
Fourth, convenience. Don’t let tedious and junk things take up players’ time. Make players feel that the game is as smooth as silk.
Fifth, the master-apprentice system, marriage system, and loudspeaker should all be implemented as soon as possible.
Sixth, have a dream and always give players a dream to look forward to.
Seventh, gradually upgrade the picture and make the picture quality more realistic and heavy if the hardware allows.
All of these are the success factors of the most classic and most memorable 1.76 version of the legend in the previous life.
All failed changes were discarded and the essence was extracted.
The empire's market has proven to be essentially no different from the country's market in the early 20th century.
Then, it will definitely succeed.
Lin Wen handed over all subsequent development plans to Qi Mu.
However, not everything goes smoothly. With the explosive popularity of Blue Moon Legend in the market, its far better experience than the official server, more refreshing gameplay, more people, and lower threshold have greatly squeezed the market share of Blood Moon Legend.
Computers and the Internet are currently high-end industries in the empire. Before large-scale development and changes occur, the basic market is unlikely to expand significantly.
Unless the empire builds infrastructure on a large scale, computer equipment technology innovates, and prices drop significantly, there will be no large-scale explosion of Internet users.
Therefore, the market share of online games is limited and will only grow slowly. If you take a little, the other party will take a little less.
Within a few days, Blood Moon Legend had already lost 30% of its market share, which greatly affected their interests.
Soon, the second lawyer's letter was sent to Tenglibaba Company, and at the same time, its operating company Cheng Group formally filed a lawsuit with the court in Yaojing.
Yao Kyoto Mayor Changsheng made a special call to Lin Wen.
"Brother Lin, are you too much of a troublemaker? Do you know the background of the Cheng Group?"
"If they win the lawsuit, they can directly cut off your internet access and demand huge compensation. I've seen that their lawsuit already states that they want 10 billion yuan in compensation for economic losses."
Lin Wen was feeling annoyed at the moment and had no time to chat with him, so he directly spent 50% of his energy to ask [Immortal Guidance] for the correct answer.
"We want the Empire to declare the wasteland west of Yaojing a key new development area."
"You just draw a blueprint and build a sand table. You don't need to build an expensive sand table worth 500,000 yuan. Put at least 100,000 residential units in the sand table."
"With the sand table and model, you can directly pre-sell the property. This is called pre-consumption."
"Once the property opens, forget about anything else. Hire 1,000 people every day to crowd the sales department, and use a loud speaker to announce every day that these are the last few units left. I bet you'll lose money if you don't sell tens of billions."
"Real estate is a reservoir. Once you have trillions of dollars in reservoirs, you can tell the empire that it can print trillions more without any side effects. The more expensive the new district, the more it can print."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for 5 minutes. Chang Shengzhi said, "I'll tell them about the jurisdictional objection and let them go to you to sue!" Then he hung up the phone in a hurry.
Do good deeds and accumulate blessings, good karma +115.
Bring disaster to all living beings, bad karma +19.
This is fucking possible.
Lin Wen was too lazy to complain. What bothered him more now was that Changshan County was plagued by bad luck every day.
Disaster to the people, bad karma +3.
His current bad karma has reached 581 points. If this continues, the strengthened [Yunosara] will not be able to be reduced, and he will have no chance of reincarnation.
Lin Wen searched for a long time, and finally used magic to find the reason for the bad fate +3.
A group of food buyers deliberately purchased gutter oil, moldy rice and expired flour in order to line their pockets, passing them off as inferior products to make huge profits.
They have been doing this for a month. Since Changshan County has a certain amount of inventory, food that has been in stock for a long time will be used first. Therefore, the problematic food has only started to flow into the market in recent days, which has brought Lin Wen continuous daily bad luck.
Lin Wen was very angry. He immediately sealed all the food in Changshan County’s inventory and conducted a thorough investigation.
This investigation was not a big deal, but it turned out that more than 100 million pieces of food were problematic.
Although it was a pity, Lin Wen destroyed them all without hesitation, and then set up a Food and Drug Safety Supervision Department, and used magic to reversely determine that Lei Tiantong was the right candidate.
Therefore, Lei Tiantong took on another position and became the Minister of the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety Supervision while serving as Deputy Director of the Finance Department and Deputy Director of the Development and Reform Commission.
The purchasing agent who committed the crime was directly shot by Fang Yaobo for crimes against humanity. Lin Wen wrote down their criminal process and outcome in detail and asked the people in the Ministry of Personnel to publicize it vigorously, telling it every day and every year.
He also asked Lao Xie to formulate detailed rules and regulations to prevent such incidents from happening again.
After finishing the work, Lin Wen was still angry, so he went to look at the financial income report to adjust his mood.
The economy of Changshan County is now much more active, and the economic cycle has been initially established. After accumulating a certain amount of savings, the workers in Changshan County are finally willing to spend extra.
Tax revenues at the county hall have exploded.
Estimated total tax revenue this month: 110 million yuan.
Due to the operation of Tenglibaba and the recovery of Changshan Iron and Steel Plant, the company's revenue also increased dramatically.
Changshan Iron and Steel Plant generates 33 million in profits and saves 510 million for Changshan County every month.
Tenglibaba's estimated revenue this month is: 310 million.
The Feijian workshop is currently being debugged and will be put into production soon. The estimated profit this month is 1.11 billion.
As the month is already halfway over, both figures will increase even more next month.
Lin Wen's mood suddenly brightened a lot. With money, he could recruit more people.
His research on [Banyuan Cultivation] a few days ago made him realize that the strength of the soul provided by each person to him has a limit.
Lin Wen's growth is fastest when he first establishes a karmic relationship with a stranger.
After that, as long as they stayed in Changshan County, the thread of karma would slowly grow, because they would feel Lin Wen's influence everywhere.
The longer you live, the more causal connections you will have, but there is a limit. After reaching this limit, the speed will slow down significantly.
Unless there is a major breakthrough in the relationship, the growth of Lin Wen's soul will be minimal.
This means that if Lin Wen wants to quickly strengthen his soul, the best way is to recruit and rescue a large number of refugees and provide them with a good living environment.
As long as this environment continues to be maintained, they will continue to provide good karma and spirits.
And all of this requires money.
Therefore, money is very important to Lin Wen.
If you have money, you have people.
With people, you have everything.
It is precisely because of this that Lin Wen was so reckless in robbing, stealing, killing, embezzling and accepting bribes, plagiarizing and imitating, and using privileges to protect his interests.
Because he knew he was a good boy.
At least, in this world, yes.
——
Zhongzhou.
Wang Bo'an was wandering in the Governor's Mansion, anxiously waiting for a reply.
His originally black hair has turned gray, and his once vigorous face has become haggard.
The Empire's plan to cut off its retreat was discovered, and the Empire's two stars fought fiercely with the army sent from the Pope's country in Zezhou, but there was no clear winner.
Both sides quickly sent reinforcements. The imperial army mobilized 600,000 troops to rush to the front along the railway overnight. More than 10,000 tanks, 600 fighter jets, and 500,000 artillery pieces were urgently transported to the front line.
Emperor Li Longxing officially fulfilled the duties of the Grand Marshal of the Empire. The printing factory printed more than 3 trillion imperial yuan. The empire, which finally raised enough military funds, began to show its fangs.
The southern region has been mobilized for war, while the eastern part of the empire remains stable. This is the most important economic region and must not be disturbed in any way.
The northern part of the empire is a heavy industrial area. All heavy factories and military factories are running at full capacity, and a steady stream of military supplies are produced and transported to the front line.
The Council huddled firmly in a corner, and at the highest meetings, it behaved extremely obediently, even obeying the emperor's orders.
But secretly, it still dispatched a large number of new councils to unite with the power of the princess faction to fiercely attack the power of the Qin Group, quickly turning the situation around and gaining a huge advantage.
The western region of the empire is making every effort to maintain stability to ensure that there are no problems with the empire's granaries and mines.
The Papal States were not to be outdone. Its supreme leader, the chief high priest, Merzi, believed that the empire had reached its weakest point and it was a good time to avenge its previous humiliation.
He gathered all the forces of the 29 states of the Papal States and mobilized more than 5 million untouchables as vanguard cannon fodder to waste the empire's firepower.
A total of 1 million regular troops were assembled to follow closely and attack the imperial positions.
At the rear of the army were the Papal States' most elite monk corps, mountain special divisions, and noble divisions.
They are warlords and are responsible for plundering the spoils of war.
The two sides engaged in fierce positional warfare near Xindengburg and Jinsuo River in Zezhou. A total of over one million artillery pieces echoed over the sky of the East Continent. The Empire's planes and tanks rampaged, a large number of biological and chemical weapons were released, and some mutant monsters covered in viruses were released into the rear positions of the Papal States, slaughtering the unprotected soldiers.
This was an unprecedented battle in human history. At its most intense, more than one million people died in just one day, but the intensity did not decrease at all. The Papal States dispatched more cannon fodder to allow them to continue attacking the imperial positions before they were poisoned and died under the imperial artillery fire.
While the fighting was in full swing on the front lines, the rear remained peaceful, with singing and dancing, and even celebrity scandals overshadowed reports on the war.
The empire always conveys the message of certain victory, so the public believes that this is a war that is sure to be won.
But in fact, the cannon fodder tactics of the Papal States have begun to show their effects. The empire is running out of arms and various supplies are beginning to be in short supply.
This is even more of a blow to Zhongzhou.
The Papal States has a total of more than 500,000 main vanguard troops here. Under the instructions of Mo Di, they are attacking the heartland of the empire with all their strength, tying down the empire's military forces as much as possible and disrupting the empire's production.
Wang Bo'an was the governor-general and controlled an army of 100,000 people, but it was just a local army with poor quality and equipment.
The two empires each have a portion of their troops here, totaling no more than 80,000 people.
The total number of troops supported by other states was 200,000, of which 150,000 were from Dongqin State alone, far exceeding the number of troops that Sheng Huaixuan was allowed to have openly.
380,000 people against 500,000 people, and the enemy was an elite ace force. Wang Boan could only retreat again and again, and shrink the defense line again and again. In the end, he could only guard the main towns and rely on large strongholds to fight.
What's worse is that supplies are extremely scarce, and a large number of victims have been placed in the rear, lacking food, clean water, medicine and clothing.
Moreover, Zhongzhou was extremely short of manpower, the disaster-stricken areas were in chaos and disorder, and large numbers of people died every day.
No one cleaned up the corpses, and they rotted in shacks, ditches, and wastelands, attracting large green-headed flies.
Due to the influx of refugees, the army was also short of supplies. Wang Boan had emptied out all his inventory and all his family assets, but still could not fill the hole. His only hope was the assistance of the empire.
Today is the day when the imperial aid arrives.
Wang Boan was waiting anxiously.
Three updates completed, 2 updates tomorrow, 3 updates the day after tomorrow
