Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 203: Brothers, Come and Chop Me! (Happy New Year's Eve!)
It was already evening when Cheng Yi received Luo Shenyi's call. Legend was about to be officially launched in two days, and they came at this time because they did not want to violate the terms of the contract.

According to the provisions in the contract, the source code must be provided two days before the public beta of Legend to ensure that the progress of the Momo channel service can be aligned with the official one.

They delayed delivering it until this time, which is obviously a deliberate delay. After all, only two days were left, which makes it difficult to launch it at the same time as the official one.

At around 8:00 p.m., Luo Shenyi finally took a taxi to Momo Internet Cafe. He handed the computer with Moc-OS system back to Zhang Lingyu and said, "Hello, I have an appointment with your CEO Cheng."

"Our President Cheng is waiting for you in the tea room." Zhang Lingyu said immediately.

"Okay." Luo Shenyi already felt that something was wrong.

Under normal circumstances, Cheng Yi would have been waiting for him at the door.

However, Luo Shenyi didn't care. Now that they had received the money, he came here just to complete the last step. Could it be that Cheng Yi would hit him because he was unhappy?

As soon as he entered the tea room of Momo Internet Cafe, Luo Shenyi said with an apologetic smile, "Boss Cheng, I'm really sorry. Our programmers have been working non-stop recently, so the progress has been a bit slow."

Cheng Yi didn't stand up, but smiled and said, "I understand. Please sit down."

Luo Shenyi handed two CDs to Cheng Yi and said, "This is the source code for your internet cafe's system. Please accept it. Your operating system is a bit too old, so we put a lot of effort into it."

Cheng Yi took the CD and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Luo. Come, try the Biluochun tea I just brewed."

Luo Shenyi sat on the sofa and picked up the "Bi Luo Chun" that Cheng Yi mentioned. He took a sip and found it dry and hard to swallow.

This is not Biluochun at all, it is clearly the low-quality large-leaf tea sold in the market.

Cheng Yi asked with a smile: "How does my Biluochun taste?"

Luo Shenyi laughed and said, "Boss Cheng, I feel like your Biluochun doesn't taste right. Have you been fooled?"

Cheng Yi didn't answer. He took a few sips of tea and drank it with relish.

He finished his cup, poured himself another, and sighed, "Mr. Luo really understands tea. It's just as you said. That nasty tea seller actually sold me a large-leaf tea that cost 2 yuan per pound as Biluochun that cost 300 yuan per pound."

"How could she be like this? Why didn't you go back to find her?" Luo Shenyi asked in surprise.

Cheng Yi said: "I found her, and I even hired someone to smash her stall."

"This is how we deal with such hateful people." Luo Shenyi felt relieved after hearing this.

Cheng Yi suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Luo, I have something to ask you. You're just helping me modify the adaptability of the version. It shouldn't take more than a few hours, right? Why did it take so long?"

Luo Shenyi was still immersed in the story of Cheng Yi being deceived by the tea girl. When he heard Cheng Yi suddenly ask this, he didn't react for a moment and said hastily: "I don't know much about it. These are all done by programmers."

"Yeah." Cheng Yi smiled, picked up the CD and stood up.

He walked to the computer on the desk in the tea room and read the source code from the CD.

Looking at the server and source code, the smile on Cheng Yi's face gradually disappeared.

This server is very small, only 19MB, which is obviously very different from the server source code in the previous life.

In Cheng Yi's impression, the 2002 version of the legendary server was more than 40M.

The source code is even smaller, only more than 300kb.

Cheng Yi carefully checked the server and found that many functions had been deleted. There was not even a judgment in the equipment list. There was no map index, explosion rate file or anything like that.

Seeing the change in Cheng Yi's expression, Luo Shenyi's heart skipped a beat. He looked towards the door, wondering how he could quickly run out of Momo Internet Cafe if Cheng Yi got angry.

Looking at the server and source code in front of him, Cheng Yi understood why it took so long.

It would take at least three to five days to make this change. After all, it takes a lot of effort to delete it, and after deleting it, we have to ensure that it does not affect the operation of the game. It is rare to be able to achieve this.

Cheng Yi put down the mouse and his eyes fell on Luo Shenyi.

Luo Shenyi quickly stood up and said, "Boss Cheng, is there any problem with this source code?"

"I feel like I met a tea girl again." Cheng Yi replied.

Luo Shenyi was slightly stunned, and he suddenly understood Cheng Yi's intention of giving the example of the tea girl. It turned out that he was referring to him.

Luo Shenyi smiled bitterly and said, "Please don't be angry, Mr. Cheng. This matter has nothing to do with our Chairman Chen. It's mainly because Mr. Zhou from our operations team suddenly set a rule requiring that the update speed of channel services and joint operation services must not exceed our official speed. This is also for the healthy development of the game. Don't worry, we will send you the content of our official expansion pack three months after the update."

"Let's talk about the cost next, right?" Cheng Yi asked with a smile.

Luo Shenyi said: "This is natural. We spend a lot of effort on each update, but the price is not high. We only charge 30 yuan for an expansion pack."

"This price is really a good deal." Cheng Yi laughed out of anger.

Luo Shenyi didn't hear Cheng Yi's sarcasm and said, "Yes, we have to consider you too."

Luo Shenyi added, "Also, our CEO, Mr. Zhou, specifically asked me to reiterate to you that top-ups for this game must use our billing system, and the price charged must not be lower than our official price. The specific details are all in the contract. If you violate any of these terms, we have the right to revoke your agency qualification."

"Okay." Cheng Yi didn't say much.

He had originally planned to get along well with Shengda, but since the other party treated him as a fool, he didn't plan to be polite anymore.

Point card, right?

I can give them all the income, but how much can the point card sell for?

"Mr. Luo, is there anything else you want to tell me?" Cheng Yi asked again. "No, just follow the contract strictly." Luo Shenyi smiled and said, "It's getting late now, so I'll take my leave."

"Goodbye." Cheng Yi didn't even stand up.

Luo Shenyi snorted in his heart and didn't care about Cheng Yi's rudeness. In his eyes, Cheng Yi was just a little better than those Internet cafe owners, but in the final analysis, he was still an Internet cafe owner.

Nowadays, anyone with a little bit of ability would not work in a low-level industry like an Internet cafe.

"It's an expansion pack, right?" Looking at the server and source code in the computer, Cheng Yi smiled.

"Give them a little face and I won't jump to version 176 yet." Cheng Yi said, "Let's start with 1.5 Guardian Legend."

"Give some light pillars, give some titles, and cancel all the redundant settings!"

"Simple, direct, and rough!" Cheng Yi sat in front of the computer and modified the source code excitedly.

He could modify a simple and primitive game like Legend by himself. After he finished the modification, he would recruit a group of artists to create the appearance of equipment and a new map.

Tonight, all night long!

At five o'clock in the morning, Cheng Yi was still excited. Although Shengda had deleted 70% of the equipment and version content, as long as the framework and source code were still there, everything would be fine.

The original Legend was very unfriendly to newcomers. It was very difficult to earn gold coins or level up.

While keeping the rhythm unchanged, Cheng Yi first set up a big gift package for the newcomers.

When players reach a certain level, they can receive some medicines and special items, such as return to city scrolls, double scrolls (60 minutes), etc.

“Add a few elite monsters to each map to enhance their treasure hunting pleasure.”

"The number of layers in a map changes the difficulty. The deeper the map, the stronger the monsters and the more frequent their spawn rates."

"Add an equipment redemption function. When your equipment is dropped by someone else, it will enter a redemption period. During the redemption period, you can buy the equipment back from the other party's backpack by spending a certain amount of gold coins. This will reduce the problem of player loss caused by equipment being dropped."

Cheng Yi kept sorting out some of the shortcomings of his previous life's legend in his mind.

He clearly remembered that in his previous life, a player had his Judgment exploded, and he actually ran to Shengda headquarters and caused an incident that shocked the whole country. In those years, offline conflicts caused by equipment explosions occurred one after another, which directly led to the game company being pushed to the forefront.

This must be stopped.

The problem of player loss in the official Legend server can be mainly attributed to two categories.

First, the PK is not exciting enough. Mages and Taoist priests of the same level can fight for an hour without a clear winner.

The second is equipment explosion in PK. In this era of generally slow internet speed, equipment explosion means that a master becomes a noob and returns to the pre-liberation era overnight.

"PK must be exciting! Lower your base HP, reshape your attack and defense ratios, and prevent scraping. A battle must be over within five minutes, ensuring it's incredibly satisfying!"

"The equipment explosion must be stable. While ensuring the interests of the winner, try to give the loser a chance to turn the tables."

"During the redemption period, equipment can be repurchased at 10% of the market price. The payment goes to the winner, and the system deducts 20% of the repurchase price as a handling fee. 10% may seem small, but it increases the thrill of PK and reduces the cost of error. This will lead to more people dying, then having their equipment exploded, and then having to buy it back, and the cycle repeats. By then, a large-scale guild PK could drop equipment worth millions or even tens of millions of gold coins."

"Next, it's the all-important economic system!"

Cheng Yi sat in front of the computer, constantly thinking about the stability of gold coins in his mind.

As long as the price of gold coins is stable, they are equivalent to hard currency.

The longevity of a game depends entirely on whether its in-game currency is stable. For example, Fantasy Westward Journey, which has been popular for more than 20 years, has stabilized prices.

If you want to stabilize the price of gold coins, you have to calculate output and consumption. As long as output and consumption are proportional, the price of gold coins will always be stable.

With the buyback fee, the price of gold should be stable. But for safety's sake, and to protect the interests of all players, would it be okay to open a gold mall in the game? Sell mounts without attributes, red and green poisons, limited-time pets, refining potions, bundles of medicine bags...

At that time, he can directly collect and sell gold coins in the Internet cafe, and with the equipment guaranteed transactions, this wave of income will definitely be many times higher than the point cards. After all, they can control the increase in the price of gold coins.

Once the price of gold coins stabilizes, ordinary players can get rich by earning gold coins, and use the internet and game cards for free, while paying players can buy gold coins to improve their own strength.

Cheng Yi thought about it for a while, and to be on the safe side, he added a detection program to the game to monitor the output and consumption of gold coins.

"And... hunting for treasures!"

There must be diversity in treasure hunting to prevent the best equipment from being monopolized by guilds. Various randomly refreshed elite monsters are indispensable. Based on the elite monsters, all big BOSSes adopt the strategy of the real and fake Monkey King, one real and three fakes.

In this way, small guilds or small groups can also try their luck and get a share of the pie.

As for the number of guild members, it must not be too high. Once a server is dominated by one group, it means the end of the server.

The guild is limited to 100 people!
In a server with 3000 people online, there are at least tens of thousands of real players, and the number of guilds can definitely reach hundreds, and there will definitely not be a situation where one group dominates.

As for the red name... screw the red name.

The Jianghu is all about fighting and killing! Remove the red name penalty, set up a safe monster hunting area with low drop rate and a PK monster hunting area with high drop rate.

Without hatred, there would be no martial arts world!
Without the underworld, there would be no revenue!
Brothers, come and kill me!
