While the Leap Nuclear Guild was recruiting new members, Jiang Qiao returned to the Celestial Tower and started to do some of the things that a planner should do.
Firstly, it was the statistics of the number of players. At the current stage, the upper limit of Saint Guild players was 120,000. Furthermore, the number of online players was 100,000, with an average of 100,000 daily active players.
This was a mediocre number in the eyes of some mobile and online game manufacturers. However, to Jiang Qiao, it was sufficient to treat Hai Lan to a sumptuous meal.
However … Jiang Qiao was currently facing a … huge crisis. A crisis that was far greater than the attack of the Law Stealers. That was … Jiang Qiao was going bankrupt.
"As the God of Creation, why would I need money?"
Hai Lan was munching on a huge hamburger beside Jiang Qiao. Currently, Jiang Qiao was not looking at the System Book but his bills in the real world.
"Then as the God of Creation, why would you still need to eat?!"
Jiang Qiao used his hand to pull Hai Lan's cheeks. Only when Hai Lan cried out in pain did Jiang Qiao let go.
Jiang Qiao had underestimated the appetite of Hai Lan, Queen Mey, and the five Knights. Just ordering takeaway for them every day would cost Jiang Qiao close to $3,000.
Although there was Wolf Rider who was diligent and thrifty in managing the household and had started using some of the ingredients on Brandt Island to cook, the ingredients on Brandt Island were extremely, extremely, extremely lacking!
Even the richest guild stronghold, Cola Fanatic, had a total of 17 NPCs. The fruits and vegetables grown on the pastures and farms in the stronghold were barely enough for them to fill their stomachs.
In particular, the two Dragon Speaker sisters' appetite had increased recently. The elder sister could eat two people's meals a day, while the younger sister could eat three people's meals a day. Jiang Qiao suspected that the Law Stealers had copied Hai Lan's appetite.
Most of the other guild strongholds were in the same situation. The Abyss Shrine was even worse. Hai Lan could not restore the various crops and livestock in the Abyss Shrine. As a result, the Abyss Shrine now had to buy food from other guilds.
In short, Jiang Qiao was facing the crisis of bankruptcy. The various strongholds on Brandt Island were also in dire need of food.
"Don't you know how to modify the Sky Palace's data?
Add a few more zeros to your bank account, "Hai Lan nonchalantly suggested to Jiang Qiao as she munched on her burger.
"Then I'll be having tea and chatting with you in prison the next day!"
Jiang Qiao looked at the balance in his bank card. The original deposit of 100,000 had been eaten up by Hai Lan, Queen Mey, and the five knights, leaving only 10,000.
There was still half a month's time before the next payment of royalties was due.
Hai Lan, this little genius's suggestion was something that only someone who knew nothing about the real world's financial system would come up with. Jiang Qiao might be fine if he added a few more zeros to his bank card for the first time, but what about the second and third time?
Someone would definitely notice it, and the chain reaction of the collapse of the financial credit system might affect the Holy Spirits.
"How about opening up the pay-to-win system?"
Hai Lan's cheeks were puffed up, so she stuttered, "Aren't the players in the forum shouting things like 'Please let me spend money!' or 'Shut up!
Then take my money! ',' Holy Spirit, this game is so conscientious that I feel guilty ', and so on.
"That's not right …" Hai Lan's intelligence finally returned after she finished her burger. She pondered for a moment and felt that it wouldn't work, "If you let Jiang Qiao use your bank … card, which should be this thing, to collect the players' pay-to-win funds, won't you be exposed?"
"You're finally smart for once. Anyway, the topic has changed from how I earn your monthly food allowance to … how to make the Holy Spirit game profitable!"
Jiang Qiao looked outside the Celestial Tower, and the bustling streets of Lionheart City entered Jiang Qiao's eyes.
"I don't really understand, but aren't there a lot of players willing to spend money in real life to buy the little tools in the Holy Spirit game?" Hai Lan asked.
"That's not the main point, Hai Lan. We are the game creator and game designer, but not the game company!
This is very important, "Jiang Qiao said.
"Let me explain it in a simpler way!
I don't understand! "Hai Lan frowned and thought for a long time before finally saying to Jiang Qiao.
"Let me put it this way. The game company makes games to make money and make the company stronger, and we make games to defend against the invasion of the Holy Spirit's original world, and to help you find the Divine Fragment, right?" Jiang Qiao said.
"And to devour other worlds!
But I still don't understand what you're talking about. "
After saying that, she hugged a cup of cola and started drinking.
"What I mean is, I want to use the money earned from the Holy Ghost game in the form of a shirt from a shop in the real world, a free meal, or some small gifts to give back to the Players, the Holy Ghost heroes who are fighting for us on the frontlines.
Jiang Qiao said something that the game company's planner would never say. Even if he said it, he would be fired.
"I feel like … you're going to build some 'scary' gameplay again."
Hai Lan could only use the word 'scary' to describe Jiang Qiao's thoughts every time he talked about a new version. Whether it was the Battle of the Divinities or the current version of Brandt Island 2.5, Jiang Qiao's ideas were like little geniuses.
"Let's put it this way."
Jiang Qiao opened the Sky Palace Map widget, and the widget showed a map of Jiangcheng's pedestrian street.
"We will set up a boss here, or an enemy will invade this place. After the players defeat this enemy or boss, they will be able to get a free meal in this shop next to the battlefield." Jiang Qiao pointed at an M's fried chicken shop next to Jiangcheng's pedestrian street.
"But what about the money to let the players have a good meal?
Are we going to pay for it? "
Hai Lan finally had some social knowledge. At least she knew that people needed money to eat here.
"We'll pay for it, or all the players will pay for it. Also … the shop itself might pay for it," Jiang Qiao said.
"I'll listen to your explanation." Hai Lan gave up on thinking about Jiang Qiao's plan.
"I will set up a fund in the Holy Spirit game. All the money earned by the Holy Spirit in the real world will be put into this fund. There are two ways to earn the money."
Jiang Qiao raised his hand and put up a finger. "First, if we set up this shop as a dungeon with many hidden treasures, what do you think the Holy Spirit players will do?"
"I know. They will tear down the shop," Hai Lan said.
"They might tear down the shop in the game. In reality, they will stay in the shop for a while. This way, the number of customers in the shop will increase!" Jiang Qiao said.
"Then?"
"Then we'll ask them for advertising money. Although I haven't figured out how to ask for it yet, after the Otherworld's AR gameplay is released, the Holy Spirit will become more and more popular, and the merchants will definitely not ignore it. We want their shops to have powerful bosses spawn, or small dungeons with powerful treasures. Also, if we buy any packages from their shops, we'll be able to get mounts or items from the game. Another prerequisite is that we have to pay." Jiang Qiao raised his second finger after he finished talking. "The second is paywalls."
"I will introduce some non-attribute clothes and mounts, and potions that can change the players' appearance. In short, it will be small things that won't affect the balance of the game. All the money that the players pay for it will be put into the Holy Spirit fund and given back to the players in some way," Jiang Qiao said.
"What's in it for us then?" Hai Lan was quite concerned about the fact that the food near the river bridge wasn't enough.
"We are players too. If one person uses the Holy Spirit to earn money, it might be traced. However, if all the Holy Spirit players use the Holy Spirit game to earn money, there won't be any problems."
Jiang Qiao gave a thumbs up and said, "In the Inner World, I am preparing to introduce the guild territory gameplay. This is already in the early stages of Brandt Island. In short … the specific structure of the gameplay will depend on when the Inner World is released."
The specific opening of the Inner World would have to wait until the players … completed the main mission on Brandt Island.
At this stage, the fastest completion of the main mission was Coke Mania. They had already collected 90% of the energy for the portal. It was estimated that they would be able to collect all the energy for the portal after killing another Island Master.
Brandt Island itself was also a part of the Inner World … Jiang Qiao had already decided to stuff this island into the Inner World and turn this island into the floating island of the Inner World. Yes … a Brandt Island without the existence of crystallization disease.
However, there were still many conflicts on Brandt Island that hadn't been resolved yet, including Deng Hisith's remnant consciousness, the bunch of Chosen Ones who were eyeing them covetously, the survival of the two island masters and … the lack of food on the island.
Just as Jiang Qiao was preparing to solve these problems … Freya Prototype Robot suddenly walked out of the portal and appeared in front of Jiang Qiao.
The Freya in the cinematic "Leap" was Jiang Qiao's Freya … She would become an NPC with the responsibility of guiding the way on Brandt Island in the future. However, she was still helping Jiang Qiao to observe the situation of the 60,000 new Freya.
"Holy Spirit, number 60000 Freya's thinking is abnormal … I think she is in some trouble," she said.
"Trouble?
Bring out the image of the cathedral where Freya is. "
Jiang Qiao really could not think of any trouble Freya would encounter when interacting with the Holy Spirit. After all, Jiang Qiao had already made the interaction between the players and Freya so harmonious.
