Let the scourge go to the right path, and you make games to reward them?.

Chapter 814 Nature (12)

The cultivators, who were bragging to their friends, were initially embarrassed upon hearing this news.

"Cyber ​​Cultivation 2077" is the hottest game recently. If you don't know how to play it, you'll be embarrassed to greet people when you go out.

The cultivators took pride in their progress in the game. Upon meeting, they would first boast about their gaming skills to the skies, and then end with a line like, "If I hadn't forgotten my jade slip today, I would have definitely shown you what I'm capable of."

However, today, Chu Yuntian's words made them realize that no one actually had a difficult time passing the level.

Not only were they difficult, but they weren't ordinary either!
Not only are they ordinary, but they're not even simple!
Even the easy difficulty level is still a bit challenging for the cultivators of this world. After all, although this world and the Nine Provinces have many similarities, they haven't experienced the influence of games here. Such a large and complex game is still too complicated for them.

Even though Lin Yuan has repeatedly lowered the difficulty and added a lot of beginner guidance, the difficulty remains.

For them, the game is like someone telling them, "This is walking, this is jumping, this is blocking, this is light and heavy punches. Okay, you've learned 'The King of Fighters '97,' now go and beat that giant snake to its knees."

The game is really fun; even if you do nothing, just enjoying the sunshine and flowers in it is wonderful.

After all, sunlight costs money in real life, but it's free here.

But out of pride, they all claimed that the game was too easy, as simple as picking something out of a bag, and that the characters' strength increased faster than loan interest.

Now, Chu Yuntian has lifted this fig leaf, putting them in a rather awkward situation.

But after a brief moment of awkwardness came a huge surprise.

The bounty of one billion was terrifying, causing the pupils of cultivators whose total assets fluctuated around zero for years to dilate, their heartbeats to accelerate, and their blood vessels to swell, making them even more excited than if they had taken supplements.

Especially after confirming that this matter had the endorsement of numerous Star Lords and the collective support of the four major upper-level families, the cultivators of the lower realm immediately sprang into action, preparing to pocket the ten billion, repay their loans, and live a life of physical and mental well-being from then on.

"Cyber ​​Cultivation 2077" has become popular again, and many non-sword cultivators have started discussing the event, forcing Yao Guang to lead a group of sword cultivators to work overtime to deal with the huge problems brought about by the traffic.

The sword cultivators were naturally overjoyed to receive overtime pay, and Zhong Huai was also delighted to see that Fei Jian had significantly expanded its user base as a result.

With the latest data in hand, he approached Lin Yuan and excitedly said, "Boss, our data has improved dramatically. The number of users has increased by 50%, and activity levels in all aspects have risen significantly. This is a tremendous opportunity!"

In his mind, Lin Yuan would smile and encourage him, and then everyone would continue to work hard to make "Feijian" bigger and stronger, until it reached the top level.

Perhaps by then, the four major families will become five, with the Lin family being one of them, and he will have also contributed to the rise of the new dynasty.

Lin Yuan simply took the data, glanced at it, and put it aside, sighing, "The Chu family has a master; they've been outmaneuvered."

"Hmm? I don't understand."

"Gamers are the most sharing group. They can share game strategies for free, help others with various problems for free, and even voluntarily spend their own money to create mods and help the development team evaluate them. These are valuable assets in the early stages of a game."

Zhong Huai thought for a moment, then suddenly realized: "No wonder you started by making free games, boss."

"Yes, this path has proven feasible. First, use free games to enhance players' desire to share and their thirst for knowledge, improve their magical skills through games, and then gradually change their mindset through games, adding the concept of sharing to this lower realm. Finally, stimulate a group of game industry professionals to emerge, and then embark on a virtuous cycle of game production."

"You really have a deep love for games." "Yes. But as a form of entertainment, games need a good external environment to thrive. And once games develop, sword cultivators and others will have their own way of life, instead of being driven to their deaths by loans. For the current social structure, the existence of games has extremely strong stabilizing value, otherwise I wouldn't be so vigorously developing games."

Zhong Huai finally understood Lin Yuan's thoughts.

Looking back on Lin Yuan's actions, he couldn't understand why at first, but now he understands everything.

"Non-Sword" could be profitable, but he didn't.

"Non-Sword Game Hall" is also an option, but he doesn't have it either.

"Cyber ​​Immortal Cultivation 2077" should have started charging fees by now, but it hasn't.

Zhong Huai initially believed that Lin Yuan had ulterior motives, but after understanding the other party's thoughts, he suddenly felt as insignificant as dust.

While he was still thinking about how to help Lin Yuan become one of the four major families, the other party was thinking about how to change everyone's perception.

Compared to the other party, one's own understanding is as narrow as a crack between fingers, making it difficult for even a ray of light to penetrate.

After organizing his thoughts, Zhong Huai tried to think about the problem from Lin Yuan's perspective, and then asked, "What consequences will the Chu family face for doing this?"

"Go check out the players' Cyber ​​games groups. There were several large groups that were always discussing various game strategies before. If you hang out in there, you'll understand."

Although Zhong Huai couldn't understand why Lin Yuan wanted him to do this, he knew that Lin Yuan must have his own reasons for saying it.

Upon entering the group he frequently monitored, Zhong Huai immediately sensed something was amiss.

Before Chu Yuntian announced the news, these groups were very lively.

Every moment, players are sharing various strategies, even the movement patterns of stray cats on the roadside are shared for discussion.

Some people are also tirelessly collecting various guides and compiling them to make them easier for others to consult.

The groups also share information with each other; new information seen in group A is quickly shared in group B, which sometimes makes it impossible for Zhong Huai to tell which group he has joined.

But today, most of the groups have become very quiet.

It took a long time before someone spoke up, but the questions they asked went unanswered for a long time.

The information in the group has been deleted, and some of the information that wasn't deleted has been modified beyond recognition, making it impossible to see the original content.

Yesterday's vibrant discussion group has suddenly become a silent, inactive one. Everyone is desperately clinging to their own knowledge while coveting the knowledge of others, hoping to be the first to clear the hard mode and claim the billion-dollar bounty.

With a complicated expression, Zhong Huai left the group chat and asked in confusion, "Boss, why did the Chu family do this?"

Lin Yuan sighed: "It's just the nature of capital."
