Chapter 192 - Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version (1/2)

Pei Qian gently patted Ma Yiqun on the shoulder.

“I think you weren’t well-received on Limitless Chinese Language Network because the editor was jealous of your talent. Your writing skills are way ahead of our times. It’s not your fault that the readers cannot relate to what you write.”

A realization dawned on Ma Yiqun. “Boss Pei, have you read the novels I wrote?”

“No,” replied Pei Qian, shaking his head. “However, I can see your talent in your eyes.

“If we want our website to succeed, we cannot follow the exact path that Limitless Chinese Language Network traveled. Otherwise, no matter how well we do, we will always only be an imitation of Limitless Chinese Language Network. How can we talk about making tight corners and making swift progress then?”

Ma Yiqun seemed to understand.

What Boss Pei was saying seemed to make sense. Ma Yiqun did not think that his talents had been buried. After all, this was an extremely competitive industry. If the editor could not relate to him, perhaps he could say that his talents had been buried temporarily. However, if the readers could not relate to him, it was unacceptable.

Ma Yiqun always felt that his novels had failed because of the latter reason. That was why he did not have confidence in his own abilities.

Yet, something Boss Pei said was absolutely right.

For their website to succeed, they could not follow Limitless Chinese Language Network’s exact path. Otherwise, the readers would always choose Limitless Chinese Language Network over them. Why would they want to visit a website that merely followed trends and imitated others?

Thus, if they wanted to make swift progress, they had to come up with new and different ideas. It was clear that Boss Pei was a far-sighted man. He had high hopes and expectations for himself!

Boss Pei wanted a website that would surpass Limitless Chinese Language Network. He would not settle for mere initial success!

Ma Yiqun nodded profusely. “Alright, Boss Pei, I will do my best to run the website well!

“Er, Boss Pei, what will the website be called?”

Pei Qian smiled and answered, “Terminal Chinese Language Network.”

It meant that the website would be a graveyard for literature.

However, Ma Yiqun immediately felt deep veneration for him.

Does Boss Pei want to work hard to make this website the terminus for all online literature?

Does he want all authors to publish their works on this website?

Look at Boss Pei; he could always think of names that sounded impressive and fitting.

“Go ahead. If you run into any problems, report them to me at once.”

Once he got rid of Ma Yiqun, Pei Qian turned to focus on Shang Yang Games.

First, he looked at the data for Bloody Battle Song that Ye Zhizhou sent to him. It was still almost too painful to look at. It was stable. One could say the game was stable. After all, they had already been very kind to the game. The old players were all engrossed now. Pei Qian guessed that the game would be in the status quo for at least the next few months.

However, the income was small indeed.

They had gotten rid of so many purchase options that the whales no longer knew where they could spend their money. The game’s graphics were extremely out-of-date as well. Shang Yang Games did not spend a cent on marketing, and no new players were joining the game. Even if this group of old players remained loyal, the amount of money they spent on top-ups was almost negligible.

Now, the changes that had to be made to Bloody Battle Song were complete. The new version had stabilized as well. Pei Qian had to give them new tasks. If he allowed them to continue slacking, he might receive a warning from the System soon.

However, Pei Qian already had a plan for all of this.

Before this, he had laid down a two-step battle strategy for Shang Yang Games. The first step was to get rid of all purchase options but one in the various games. The second step was to create a new game.

Everyone was to come up with a plan for a new game and write a design manuscript. Pei Qian would look through the design manuscripts and pick one to become Shang Yang Games’ new project. Then, research and development could begin.

During the settlement period, the employees of Shang Yang Games had been working on this design manuscript. By now, they were all done.

It was time for Pei Qian to pick one for Shang Yang Games to start researching and developing

This meant that Tengda Games and Shang Yang Games would be going down completely different paths.

For Tengda Games, Pei Qian maintained full control. He wanted to set directions that he was sure would guarantee failure. As much as he could, he wanted to steer things according to the plan he had in his head.

However, for Shang Yang Games, Pei Qian wanted to maintain its original state as much as possible. He did not want to interfere unnecessarily.

From the way Pei Qian looked at things, the path that Shang Yang Games was on looked slightly more ‘successful’. Of course, he wanted to persist in the same manner.

Pei Qian found a random number generator online and allocated a number to each of the twenty-odd design manuscripts. Then, he generated a random number.

“Six.”

Pei Qian opened the folder labeled number six and scanned the documents inside.

There were a total of four pages to the document. This was supposed to be a strategy game, but the rules were obviously incomplete.

Of all the design work that the game required in reality, this document only covered about 20%.
