Chapter 266 - This Game’s not Making Much—Just Four to Five Million Yuan a Month (1/2)

Pei Qian felt light-headed. “What happened?”

How did my loss-incurring mini-client turn into a mobile game?

The corners of Lin Wan’s mouth curled upwards. She could not help but grin. “Boss Pei, didn’t you give me the hint? I asked you when to expect a change in Bloody Battle Song’s situation, and you replied ‘at the right time’. “Mobile games are extremely popular at the moment. Isn’t that the ‘right time’?

“Weren’t you hinting to me to keep up with the times and create a mobile game instead?”

Pei Qian fell silent for a moment. “…I think there must have been a misunderstanding.”

Lin Wan’s smile widened.

Boss Pei was modest and open-minded indeed.

“Boss Pei, I know that you’re trying your best to give us the credit.

“Why did you hint to me to work with Shenhua’s cell phone business then? Don’t tell me that you didn’t know Lin Yu is Shenhua’s vice-president and happens to be in charge of the cell phone business.

“If not for your suggestion, Lin Yu would not have given me recommendation spots, and I would never have thought of advertising Bloody Battle Song on Shenhua’s application store.”

Pei Qian, “???”

I told Lin Yu to look for you just to give you an allowance of a hundred thousand yuan! Who told her to give you recommendation spots?!

If he had known that Lin Wan would offer Lin Wan recommendation spots in her application store, Pei Qian would have taken the hundred thousand yuan without another word!

Pei Qian looked at Ye Zhizhou, confused.

Ye Zhizhou looked elated as well. He raised up his thumb and said, “Boss Pei, I want to say that you have acute foresight indeed!

“Look at the comments on the game.” Pei Qian frowned slightly and entered Bloody Battle Song’s comments section. A whole bunch of good ratings and comments flooded his vision.

“At first, I swore that I would not play the rubbish game that Zha Zhuti advertised. In the end… hehe, I take back my words!”

“This was an extremely surprising game. I thought that the game would resort to cheating like other web-based games. Yet, it seems completely different! Other games fill their screen with payment options, but this game only allows you to purchase strength potions. Its creators are so good-hearted! It reminds me of when I first played Ghost General!”

“Indeed, Ghost General was a game with a heart, but mobile card games are tacky. Bloody Battle Song allows for a lot of interaction. Now, I’m waiting for wars every single day. It’s so interesting!” “I’ve misunderstood this game. I’m giving it full marks for encouragement!”

“This game is more satisfying than any other game I’ve played recently. Its graphics are good, it’s top-quality, and it is kind with payment options. What’s more, the mobile and mini-client versions interoperate. The developer is a genius!”

“Zha Zhuti, I’ve misunderstood you! You said that this war game is fair, but I thought you were lying. I never would have expected that you were telling the truth the whole time!”

“Honest advertisements are hard to come by!”

“As a web-based gamer, I have never seen such a good-hearted game. I must give it full marks!”

“You won’t be tortured by ballers in this game. Everyone is equal. It feels so good; I must buy as much as I can! I’m buying the maximum number of strength potions!” After reading all the good comments, Pei Qian fell into a state of shock. The intelligent Boss Pei suddenly realized what had happened.

Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version was converted from a mini-client to a mobile game. That was why everything changed! The game’s biggest problem was the lack of players. However, after turning it into a mobile game, the problem was completely resolved!

Mobile games were becoming increasingly popular. From Qute Three Kingdoms to Ghost General, mobile games were becoming more and more complicated and serious. Games like Bloody Battle Song, which turned web-based operations into mobile-friendly ones, would become the norm in the future.

Under these circumstances, the first of such projects would surely earn the most praise and support. It might even pioneer changes in the industry!

The mobile version of Bloody Battle Song enjoyed almost guaranteed success. Different factors came together to ensure this.

Zhang Zuting’s brainwashing advertisement had caught the attention of many potential players. Shenhua’s application store’s recommendations directed large numbers of excellent users to the game as well.

Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version was a game with a heart, just like Ghost General. Ordinary players were sure to praise it to no end.

The game was also top-quality. Although it could not compare to client-side games, they had spent five million yuan on art resources alone. This allowed the game to rise above other mobile games, crushing its competitors.

The ‘Chosen One’ system allowed ordinary players to have a pleasant gaming experience that was normally exclusive to ballers. Naturally, these players would enjoy Bloody Battle Song more than other web-based games.

All in all, once the game appeared in the mobile game industry, it immediately became a hit. News of it spread like wildfire!

Pei Qian was completely dumbfounded.

He had gotten rid of most purchase options in Bloody Battle Song: The Powerful Version, but how much revenue the game generated depended on the number of players! If there were too many players, even if they only sold strength potions, they could still make a profit. In fact, Pei Qian was thinking of an even more terrifying possibility.

Many guilds would want to boost their numbers. That meant players would likely have more than one account!

The ‘Chosen One’ system selected players based on chance. This meant that the more accounts one had, the higher their chances would be of being selected by the system.

Then, rich players could buy strength potions using their alternate accounts. After all, they did not cost much.

With that many players, a game could generate profits no matter how low its paywall was! A realization dawned on Pei Qian. “This game must be making a huge profit, right?”

Lin Wan quickly became modest. “It won’t make too much money. Wang Xiaobin did his calculations. According to the rate at which players are joining the game, we would make four to five million yuan a month at most. It would probably not surpass Ocean Stronghold.”

Pei Qian paused. “Four to five million yuan?!”

How could it earn that much?!

Pei Qian knew very well that this amount would not sound ridiculous for the mobile games industry in the future. However, the mobile games market was just not that big now!
