Chapter 1183 Weekend Bug Off Work?

“This…”

Meng Chang was quite surprised to see the netizens’ comments.

There weren’t as many people scolding me as I had imagined?

The people leaving comments below were clearly divided into two factions. Some said they wouldn’t believe Meng Chang would ever do anything right and continued to criticize him as before. But compared to the previous Weibo post, there were significantly fewer critics.

Others were starting to speak up for Meng Chang!

Clearly, the doubtvr glasses’ marketing plan had been a great success. The final reversal had changed many people’s perception of Meng Chang, making them think that he might actually turn over a new leaf.

After all, he hadn’t committed any unforgivable sins. If he truly repented and contributed to society, they might consider forgiving him.

Of course, whether they would forgive him would depend on the extent of his contributions.

Although these people were still in the minority, at least their voices existed and could be heard.

This made Meng Chang feel very disappointed.

He even had the illusion that he might have hired some internet trolls himself.

It wasn’t that he was a masochist, nor did he want his reputation to be completely ruined. But in the face of commission, all of that could be sacrificed!

For the sake of commission, he would rather everyone despise him, because the more they despised him, the greater the possibility of getting the commission.

"Oh well, at least the mainstream opinion is still scolding me. That's enough."

"The basic goal has been achieved. I should still focus all my main energy on the subsequent operations."

Meng Chang stopped paying attention to Weibo and clicked on the video in his favorites, watching those videos of Qiao Laoshi again.

The main purpose was to learn the concepts of "performance art-style marketing" and "breaking the fourth wall" in these videos!

Although Meng Chang already had a general idea for this marketing plan, he felt that the entire plan was still missing a very important explosive point!

What is an explosive point?

According to Meng Chang’s own summary, the basic process of "President Pei’s Marketing Method" is raise-suppress-raise, and each step has corresponding methods to support it. But the most important thing is the core, which is the key step from "suppress" to "raise".

How to reverse everyone's perception?

It needs a very convincing concept as support.

Qiao Laoshi summarized in the video that the concepts of "performance art-style marketing" and "breaking the fourth wall" analyzed from the games *Game Producer* and *Turn Back to Shore* were very convincing.

Once these two concepts were brought out, the situation was instantly reversed.

Meng Chang also needed to find a unique concept on the Dawn Games platform, one that could reverse the situation when it was brought out.

This is the last step, and also the most difficult step.

Although he had been thinking about it for a long time and had no clue, Meng Chang firmly believed that this unique concept must exist.

The reason is very simple.

Since President Pei gave him this task, it must be possible to complete this task using President Pei's Marketing Method!

This is like the homework assigned by the teacher after explaining the example problem, it must be related to the content explained, right?

You can't teach addition and subtraction within ten in class and then directly leave a calculus homework problem after class, right?

Therefore, the standard answer is there, the problem is whether Meng Chang can find it.

Meng Chang frowned and fell into deep thought.





August 13th, Monday.

On the same floor as the Dawn Games platform, the test team of *Empire's Blade* was working busily.

Yan Qi was also there, watching the bug testing and modification work throughout the entire process to prevent anyone from slacking off.

"This is really strange. We worked overtime for two days on the weekend and ran the game many times. My hands are sore, but we only found five or six bugs, and they were very easy to fix. Why have we found five bugs in just half an hour this morning?"

"It's really strange. Could it be that bugs also take weekends off to rest? Don't work?"

"Damn, don't say that. Saying that makes us seem even more miserable. We are not even as good as bugs..."

"Hey, it's okay to work overtime now. After the game's bugs are fixed, we can have a good rest!"

"President Yan, fortunately you came on the weekend, otherwise you would definitely think we were slacking off. At that time, we wouldn't be able to clear our name even if we jumped into the Yellow River!"

The people on the test team chatted while testing bugs.

Because it was close to launch and there were too many bugs, Yan Qi asked everyone to come to work overtime on the weekend to continue testing to find bugs, and the developers continued to fix bugs.

After all, they had finally found a feng shui treasure land with such high bug-finding efficiency. They should seize every minute and fully utilize it.

But what they didn’t expect was that when they came to find bugs on the weekend, the efficiency suddenly became the same as before!

They took a break on Sunday afternoon, and only found five or six bugs in one and a half days, which was really a bit outrageous.

Some people naively thought, had all the bugs been found?

As a result, they were directly slapped in the face when they went to work on Monday.

As soon as they tested it a little, bugs appeared like bamboo shoots after a rain!

Fortunately, Yan Qi was a boss who led by example and came to work overtime with everyone on the weekend.

Otherwise, the test team would not be able to get rid of the blame.

How would they report to Yan Qi at that time?

They only found five or six bugs in one and a half days on the weekend, but they found so many in less than an hour on Monday?

Obviously, they were slacking off too much on the weekend!

And it was the employees of the entire test department who were slacking off together.

Fortunately, Yan Qi also worked overtime together on the weekend and witnessed the very bizarre entire process, so the test team was able to clear their name.

Yan Qi was also very puzzled. Do bugs also take weekends off?

Do they also choose a time to come visiting?

This is too unscientific!

But on second thought, from the moment he decided to move the test team to this building, he had actually given up science and bowed to metaphysics.

Since he had chosen metaphysics, it didn’t seem so unacceptable that "bugs don't work on weekends."

After all, the only rule of metaphysics is that there is no specific rule.

"Everyone, work hard. We will only work half a day this weekend. If we still can't find any bugs when we come on Saturday morning, then we will take a break on the weekend," Yan Qi said.

The game had already been developed, and the only thing left was to fix the bugs. Working overtime was also to catch up with the development progress.

If you can't find bugs by working overtime, what is the point of working overtime? It is better to take a break.

Everyone immediately shouted: "President Yan is awesome!"

Although it was a small company and the games they made were not very good, and they inevitably worked overtime like other game companies in the industry, most employees still thought Yan Qi was a good boss.

He can't be compared to President Pei of Tengda, but compared to the bosses of other mobile game companies, Yan Qi is still quite conscientious.

Seeing that the number of bugs found by the test team was increasing again, Yan Qi felt much more at ease.

He was still worried on the weekend. What if it was really metaphysics, and it wouldn't work this week and they couldn't find any bugs?

Wouldn't the money for renting these work stations be wasted?

Now that he saw the bugs reappear, he could finally rest assured.

Yan Qi continued to be busy with his own affairs.

When he worked overtime last weekend, he also learned about the recent hot events, and there were still many contents worthy of attention.

The first is that the Dawn Games platform has started advertising!

The entire marketing plan seemed conservative, mainly online web advertisements and video advertisements, supplemented by sporadic offline advertisements. It looked like a big battle, and it was estimated that a lot of money was spent.

Logically speaking, Yan Qi should be happy. After all, the more advertisements the Dawn Games platform puts out, the more players it will attract, and the more money he will earn after the game is launched on the platform.

But the problem is that Yan Qi found that the actual conversion rate of these advertisements seemed to be very low!

Because so far, the Dawn Games platform has not even made the software for the game platform, let alone the game.

Even if players click on these advertisements, they can only jump to the official website of the Dawn Games platform, and they can't play the game at all.

What is the conversion rate?

Although the Dawn Games platform can be logged in with the Tengda account, there are many apps that can be logged in with the Tengda account.

Basically, all companies invested by Dream Creation Ventures support logging in with Tengda accounts, and even many companies that have nothing to do with Tengda can log in with Tengda accounts.

Although this is barely an advantage, it does not play a decisive role.

After all, how many good games are on the platform is the most important thing.

But in any case, spending money on publicity is better than not spending money.

Although the efficiency of spending money is very low, it at least gives everyone a familiar look and conveys a message to all players and game developers: although we are a new platform, we are still relatively rich, and everyone is welcome to cooperate.

Yan Qi was counting on hugging the thigh of the Dawn Games platform. In this case, he couldn't say much. He couldn't teach people how to make a marketing plan, right?

He could only wait and see.

Secondly, Nifeng Logistics can now send express deliveries.

Yan Qi lived in Jingzhou and inevitably had to deal with Nifeng Logistics. This information can be learned through a leaflet.

According to the official publicity of Nifeng Logistics, cross-regional transportation is all by air. The advantage of this is speed, and the disadvantage is that it is only limited to certain specific areas, and the types of goods that can be mailed are limited and the price is relatively high.

Yan Qi didn't have any urgent express deliveries that needed to be shipped by air for the time being, so he didn't take this matter to heart, but simply learned about it.

Finally, there was one more thing, which was that *Eternal Reincarnation* had officially started project development!

Yan Qi makes Arpg mobile games. Because of work needs, he has played many action mobile games.

*Turn Back to Shore* is naturally not to be missed.

He has always believed that *Turn Back to Shore* is the most outstanding action game in China, and he is naturally looking forward to the appearance of the new dLC.

When he heard about *Eternal Reincarnation* before, he was quite excited, but later the official clarified that *Eternal Reincarnation* would not officially start project development until August.

This made Yan Qi a little disappointed. After all, development in August, according to the normal development speed, would not be completed until the end of the year or even next year at the earliest.

However, having news is better than no news. He has been waiting for this large dLC for more than a year, so what does it matter to wait a few more months?

Right now, it is still important to focus on your own project and fix all the bugs.

Yan Qi found that in the new week, the number of people entering and leaving the Dawn Games platform obviously increased. Many of them seemed to be here to discuss cooperation.

The advertisements have been released, and the business side is constantly contacting game companies. There must be an endless stream of people coming to talk about cooperation.

"Could it be that these people have also encountered a bunch of bugs like us?"

Yan Qi inexplicably had such a very metaphysical idea.

But on second thought, he felt that this possibility seemed unlikely.

"We are a start-up company with not much development experience. There are so many bugs that we haven't found, mostly because of our lack of strength. If these companies have more development experience, they shouldn't have our situation... right?"

Yan Qi didn't think too much and continued to be busy with his work.
