*Fortress at Sea* hadn't updated its version either.

But *Fortress at Sea* had the 888 Fiery Kirin, and it had only been open for a little over a month, so the players there didn't have such strong opinions.

The players of *Ghost General* expressed that they had never seen such a pure and unpretentious game company!

Other companies were all dolled up, constantly shouting, "Come on, big spender!"

Tendai was the exact opposite. It was fine to go bare-faced, but they kept trying to kick you out!

"What is Tendai thinking! Why won't they open up new paid content? Do they hate money or something?"

"After buying the lifetime card, there's nowhere to spend money even if I want to!"

"Could it be that this company is just trying to make a quick buck and run?"

"I've only ever heard of game companies running away when they lose money. Running away when they're making money? Unheard of!"

Many people couldn't take it anymore and had to temporarily Afk.

There was nothing to play!

After buying the lifetime card, they got extra draw chances every day. After two months, they had drawn almost all the rare cards they needed. Next was upgrading these cards.

Most players logged in every day to draw cards and clear story levels. They had nothing to do!

Over time, many people went to play other games.

However, most people didn't delete the game.

Because this was the most conscientious and uniquely-styled mobile game on the market! As long as a new version came out, they could have fun playing again!

Delete the game? How could they be willing!

At this time, a new post appeared on the forum.

"Touched! The game has been secretly updated!"

Clicking in to take a look.

"Today, I accidentally discovered that the problem of Guan Yu's continuous slash damage being too low, which was originally heavily criticized, has been modified! Now Guan Yu's continuous slash has been strengthened, and it's playable!"

"Also, the problem of Zhao Yun's low probability of triggering the back row attack seems to have been fixed as well!"

After careful observation, the players found that it seemed to be true!

Many of the minor problems that existed in the game before had been fixed!

Without updating the version and without any announcements, no one knew when these small changes were made.

Other game companies would list the bugs they fixed in detail in the announcements, for fear that the players wouldn't know how hard the planners worked.

Tendai was completely the opposite, as if they didn't care at all, especially indifferent.

The entire forum instantly boiled over!

"Tendai hasn't given up on *Ghost General*!"

"Other companies always prioritize fixing bugs later, and first focus on recharge events and spending events. But Tendai actually did the opposite? No recharge events at all, but first optimize the game? I'm so touched!"

"Doesn't that mean that a new version is promising?"

"Suddenly I have motivation again!"

"The official is really too sincere, I'm so touched!"

"As long as Tendai doesn't give up on *Ghost General*, we will always be with them!"

"Let's write a petition with 10,000 signatures, asking to open new recharge options!! (110000)"

"Please, official, just take a bite! We have money!!"

...

...

March 7th.

"What?!"

"The *Ghost General* players have blown up the customer service phone lines, and the forums are full of requests to open new paid content???"

"Are you sure you're not mistaken? They're asking us to open new paid content?"

Sitting in the car, Pei Qian tapped his phone screen in disbelief, replying to Lin Wan's private message.

Originally, he was in a good mood today because the Lazy Cafe had been renovated.

A large sum of money had been spent from the company's accounts to purchase computers, tables, chairs, wine, and so on, and some employees had been hired.

Thinking about the bright future of the Lazy Cafe, Pei Qian was in a good mood, so he asked Assistant Xin to drive him to the cafe to take a look around.

To inspect the work of Ma Yang and Zhang Yuan and correct any mistakes in a timely manner.

As a result, on the way, he inexplicably received a private message from Lin Wan, and found that the players of *Ghost General* were actually doing some kind of petition with 10,000 signatures!

Currently, the only channel for players to communicate with the official is customer service.

Before, in order to lose money, Pei Qian had specially found a subcontracting company with first-class Tai Chi skills.

In short, the customer service was purely outsourced and didn't know anything about the research and development team. No matter what questions the players asked, the customer service couldn't answer them.

They could only say a few polite words back and forth to try to appease the players.

"Your suggestion has been received and will be truthfully reported to the design team, dear!"

"We're very sorry for the inconvenience, we're working hard to deal with it, dear!"

Something like that.

Originally, not many people called customer service.

Most players who encountered some minor problems in the game didn't bother to make a special customer service call to report to the official. After all, such enthusiastic players were a minority.

Usually, they would only scold the customer service if they encountered problems with recharging.

And *Ghost General* only had one recharge-related function, which was the lifetime card.

Such a simple function couldn't possibly have bugs.

Therefore, the customer service team originally had nothing to do.

But in the past two days, he didn't know what was going on with the players, they were calling customer service like crazy!

With only one request, please open new paid content soon!

And they were calling continuously, with different players taking turns!

Other places, such as forums and Tieba, were also discussing this, and many people were spamming the threads!

Pei Qian was dumbfounded.

His first reaction was that the players were asking for a new version and new gameplay.

This was normal. After all, *Ghost General* had been online for three or four months, and the players were already tired of the old game content.

But the players were actually asking for new paid content???

Pei Qian was a little confused and asked Lin Wan, "Have you figured out the specific situation? Why are the players asking for new paid content? This doesn't make sense, does it?"

Lin Wan replied, "It seems that the players are worried that *Ghost General* will fail, and they want to pay to support it."

"Hiss..."

Pei Qian gasped.

These... are the players crazy!

Originally, Pei Qian planned to just not update the version and let *Ghost General* fend for itself.

As long as the players didn't make a fuss, *Ghost General* would continue to operate like this, without opening new content, and the popularity and sales would naturally decline rapidly.

Originally, the players were quite cooperative.

After all, players gather together to play games, and it is difficult to generate cohesion without any special reason.

But what's going on this time???

It was as if they had received some kind of inspiration!

Pei Qian considered for a moment and replied, "Tell customer service to reply uniformly, the new version is already in the planning stage! Probably... um, it will be available to everyone in May or June!"

Lin Wan: "Ah? It's already being made? How come I don't know?"

Pei Qian: "Please don't distort my meaning. What I said was 'in the planning stage'!"

Planning in my head also counts as planning!

Lin Wan: "...Okay, President Pei."

Pei Qian felt like he had been screwed over.

Why has everything been so evil and weird since I started making games!

Illogical!

Originally, I wanted to muddle through, but the players weren't so easy to fool and even made a fuss...

Now, Pei Qian can't pretend he doesn't see it.
