Chapter 175 Market Review

Gu Fei had spent all his game time in the last three days on Sword Demon. Every day he was online, he supervised Sword Demon, mercilessly pointing out any problems he found. Of course, Gu Fei's game time didn't increase much because of this, but when he wasn't around, Sword Demon was also working hard on his own.

Coward Savior also showed up every day for the past three days, his main function being a human playback device. Back when Gu Fei was learning kung fu, he used a lot of modern methods. For example, during this kind of teaching, Gu Fei would watch and explain with his old man in front of a large projection screen. After watching, the two would go out to spar, and someone would be responsible for recording the sparring process, then playing it back and analyzing it. There were no such conditions in the game, so Gu Fei could only call Coward Savior to star directly, and always complained about the lack of functions like rewind, slow motion, replay, and pause.

Sword Demon didn't have any amazing comprehension in this area, but his perseverance was second to none. The tenacity he showed in leveling up, if applied to anything, would be enough to achieve something.

Although there wasn't much obvious progress in three days, Gu Fei was very optimistic about this guy. As the saying goes, the master leads you in, the cultivation depends on yourself. A disciple like Sword Demon was definitely the most worry-free for the master. Gu Fei came every day to supervise, but did Sword Demon need supervision? Gu Fei's arrival was basically teaching. As long as Sword Demon could remember it, he would stuff as much as possible into him, and Sword Demon would naturally digest it with his tenacity. Gu Fei also told him, "If there's anything you don't understand, ask directly. Don't be reserved." Gu Fei was afraid that this guy would be tenacious in this aspect as well, embarrassed to ask if he didn't understand, and just research it on his own, which would be a waste of time.

The things Gu Fei had stuffed into him in three days were enough for Sword Demon to digest fiercely. Sword Demon did a good job of abandoning a lot of bad habits, and the subsequent adaptation work mainly depended on himself. Gu Fei left Coward Savior behind to give Sword Demon pointers from time to time. Coward Savior's level was far from that of a professional like Gu Fei, but he was much stronger than Sword Demon. Moreover, this guy was a kung fu enthusiast, and although he couldn't do some things, he knew them. This was somewhat like You Ge. This situation, where they could point out and discuss with each other, could be said to be an improvement for both of them.

After arranging things on the special training side, Gu Fei joined the market review team. The studio was led by Five Nights, with a total of eleven people. Except for Five Nights, the other ten were strangers. Their levels were high and low, and their equipment was extremely ordinary, looking like they were the ones who actually did the work in the studio. On Gu Fei's side, besides him, there was only Jian Nan You and Jiao Shui. They didn't need many people in the first place. The main work was done by the studio, and they just watched from the sidelines.

"Thousand Miles, brothers, come and see. This is the situation that our studio's branches in each main city have just submitted today." As soon as he met, Five Nights waved a large stack of paper at Gu Fei and his people.

"There are currently a total of 100 main cities in the game, and each city has around 500,000 players. Currently, players above level 40 are the mainstream, accounting for about 60% of the total number of players. Players between level 30 and 40 account for 30%. Players below level 30 level up relatively quickly, and this stage of players only accounts for 10% of the total. Our meaning is! There is basically no need to develop efficient leveling methods for levels below 30. We are mainly facing the player group above 30, especially the level 40 leveling areas, which will be the focus of development. Although the number of leveling areas in each city varies, the total number of players they can accommodate is roughly the same. Leveling areas for levels 30-35 can accommodate about 10,000 players leveling at the same time, leveling areas for levels 35-40 can accommodate about 20,000, and leveling areas for levels 40-45 can reach more than 50,000. From this increasing sequence, it can be seen that the official has a certain foresight for the number of game players and the distribution of levels. In addition, a considerable part of the player population is diverted by quests. If players can reasonably stagger their time, these leveling areas are enough. It's just a pity that this time can never be staggered. During the peak online period from 7 pm to 11 pm, the leveling areas are always overcrowded."

"Mm!" Gu Fei nodded, and then said, "Talk about what's related to what we're going to do!"

"Oh, I'm sorry..." Five Nights hurriedly said, "Although the capacity of each city's leveling area is basically the same, the number of leveling areas in each main city is not uniform. Taking Moon Night City as an example, there are nine leveling areas for levels 40-45, while in Linshui City, there are only seven islands. But in Montu City, there are as many as twelve leveling areas in this stage!" Five Nights said.

Gu Fei nodded, "More leveling areas are more troublesome for us."

Five Nights nodded and said, "These are the leveling area distribution materials submitted by our branches in each main city. You can take a look." Five Nights handed a stack of materials to Gu Fei and the other two, and he continued, "Currently, the total number of leveling areas for levels 40-50 in all one hundred main cities is 511, the number of leveling areas for levels 35-40 is 204, and the number of leveling areas for levels 30-35 is 117, for a total of 832 leveling areas, all of which are our possible development areas."

"832..." Gu Fei's forehead was already sweating.

And Five Nights was looking at him and continued, "Now we need to know how long it takes to develop each set of efficient leveling methods."

"This... the monster levels are different, and the difficulty is also different. If we take level 45 as an example, it probably takes about an hour, right?" Gu Fei said.

"One hour per set..." Five Nights also frowned, "According to this, the speed is a bit too slow. If Mr. Bai Shi Jing Lun does it alone, based on a normal eight-hour workday, it would take 104 days to develop all of these... more than three months, that's a bit too long." Five Nights said. The plan in his heart was to pursue speed, everything had to be fast, and before the official reacted, he wanted to make money in one wave. He couldn't accept a cycle of more than three months. Once it reached a month, if the official called for a stop to the efficient leveling method, a studio like Ying Qi would never dare not comply. Or perhaps not calling it out on the surface, but secretly making some adjustments, so that their previous month of development would be in vain, which was also something Five Nights couldn't bear.

As a result, Gu Fei smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You misunderstood the concept... a set doesn't refer to all the methods for one leveling area. Based on our previous operations, one leveling area provides a total of nine sets of methods."

"This..." Five Nights was even more surprised, "So, it almost takes a day to develop one leveling area?"

"That's right..." This kind of detailed development had only been done once in the White Mill leveling area. Gu Fei and Bai Shi Jing Lun developed and taught Jian Nan You and the other seven, and that day was spent like that. Yesterday, in the Youye Valley, although the monster level was high, only the thief and archer agile versions were developed by one person. The subsequent duo versions were difficult for players to learn, but for Gu Fei and Bai Shi Jing Lun, two people dealing with one monster were of course easier than one person, so their development wasn't slow. So the work yesterday was developed quickly, but it was a bit tiring to teach.

This time, the blow Five Nights suffered was even heavier. Only now did he know that the great plan in his heart only existed as a theoretical possibility. When it came to actual operation, time became his greatest enemy... Time, what Five Nights feared most in his plan was wasting time.

"This... why didn't you say so earlier!!!" Five Nights was about to collapse. He had been full of confidence in this plan, and had even boasted to the boss, but who would have thought that such a key issue would only be known now. One day to complete one leveling area, eight hundred... more than two years, Five Nights almost gritted his teeth.

Jian Nan You suddenly spoke at this time, "We can avoid the problem of one day for one leveling area."

"How?" Five Nights thought that one hour for one leveling area was too much at first! After experiencing the blow of it taking a day, the bottom line in his heart was suddenly lowered a lot.

Jian Nan You said, "In fact, even if we only provide an efficient leveling method for one profession in one leveling area, there is absolutely no need to worry about the problem of players signing up. The reason why we provide nine sets of leveling methods in one leveling area is mainly because we are playing the tailored slogan. In addition, we also consider the fact that if we only target one profession, players of other professions will be dissatisfied and cause trouble. But this time the situation is different. We can launch these one hundred leveling areas exclusively for mages, these one hundred exclusively for warriors, then one hundred for thieves, and so on, and finally one hundred for special needs. Isn't this simpler, more convenient, and easier to operate?"

"That's right!!" As soon as Five Nights heard this idea, he regained his energy. How could he not have thought of it just now? It seemed that he was really confused because he cared too much. Five Nights patted his head and looked at Jian Nan You gratefully. In this way, although it returned to one hour for one leveling area, which he had initially disliked as being too long, after experiencing great ups and downs, one hour per area made him feel extremely happy.

At this time, Gu Fei also added a bit of information, "One hour for one leveling area, 104 days, you also felt it was a bit too long just now. But coincidentally, there's something else I want to tell you. After that, the number of leveling areas can be reduced again, and if the quantity is reduced, won't the time used be shortened again?"

Five Nights was stunned after hearing this. If the quantity was reduced, and the time was shorter, it meant that the income would also be greatly reduced! Just as he was thinking this, Gu Fei continued, "Efficient leveling methods are not without requirements for monsters. Levels and professions are not that critical. The most critical point is: the monsters must be humanoid monsters."

"Humanoid monsters?" Five Nights was stunned.

"That's right, humanoid doesn't require them to be human. As long as they are standing and act like humans, such as werewolves, that's about the same. But those crawling animals, birds and insects flying around, and elementals without faces or hands floating around, these kinds are absolutely not allowed. If you still think there are too many after removing these, you can also delete those humanoid monsters that use action spells and incantations as attack methods. If this is not enough..."

"Enough, enough, let me calculate, let me calculate." Five Nights was anxious. It turned out that not all 800 leveling areas could be played, and they had to be deleted. Moreover, the humanoid monster condition was actually quite harsh. In such a fantastical and realistic world, these non-human creatures that Gu Fei mentioned were of course also protagonists, and were enough to compete with humanoid monsters in playing the role of leveling NPCs. Five Nights estimated that with Gu Fei's words, at least half of the leveling areas would be lost, which meant half of the income. Five Nights felt a pain just thinking about it.

A large pile of information returned to his hands, and was distributed to the ten people around him, who began to sort it out quickly. The monster information in these materials was of course also listed, and it was obvious at a glance whether they were human or ghosts, but even so, it took a considerable amount of time to collect the statistics. At the end, everyone reported the numbers to each other, and the statistical results came out. Five Nights was very depressed. Parallel worlds were really not normal human societies. According to this statistic, there were even fewer humanoid monsters than he had imagined, with only 311 leveling areas, which was more than a hundred short of half!

"331..." Five Nights reported this number to Gu Fei and the others, while calculating in his heart. Jian Nan You directly calculated out loud, "331 leveling areas, according to our previous 40,000 share in the White Mill leveling area, at a fee of 99 gold coins per person, that can reach 1.31 billion gold coins. According to the current exchange rate of 100 gold coins to 30 RMB, that's almost more than 300 million. What percentage is the commission again?"

"Two percent," Gu Fei said.

"Then the bottom line is 60 million," Jian Nan You nodded.

"No, no, no..." Five Nights began to shake his head. When he got the information, he had already roughly estimated the income, and of course he was prepared. Although it had now changed from 800 to 300, the principle was still the same. After shouting "no," Five Nights continued, "Now, 331 leveling areas are opened at the same time, which is completely different from when you only opened one leveling area. You can't use your data to calculate it here."

"Then how do you think it should be calculated?" Gu Fei asked.

"There is one problem I have been emphasizing, which is risk! It mainly comes from the game company. Frankly speaking, I don't think we can end this deal well. It is very likely that the game company will call a stop to it as soon as it starts. Therefore, my plan is not the same as your initial action. This time, we are launching the signboard of 331 leveling areas at once. This influence is too great. We don't have time to wait for players to sign up for a day or two. At most one or two hours, we have to start teaching! Because we need to race against time with the game company. Maybe from the moment our advertisement is launched, they are already holding a meeting to discuss how to deal with this matter. We want to grab as much gold as possible before they do. So, how much income we can get this time is very flexible. This is combined with the unpredictable factor of the game company's reaction. The 40,000 people executed according to your method is not feasible for us." Five Nights said.

"Oh? Then what will you do if the game company calls a stop to it?" Gu Fei asked.

"There is no way. Ying Qi has some cooperative relationships with the game company. If they call a stop to it, we must comply," Five Nights said.

"Then after the call for a stop, what should be done with the players who have already paid, but have not had time to learn the efficient leveling method?" Gu Fei asked.
