Northern Myanmar: These players are acting strangely!

Chapter 16: Reservation Channel Closed, Preparing to Charge!
In short, it's still about promotion and holding events.

However, this event will have to wait until "Bloody Golden Triangle: Survivors" has become a household name.

The specific situation depends on how high the popularity of Shen Yingying's first wave of publicity is and how much prestige it brings her.

Depending on the level of popularity, a limited-time price reduction event will be launched to sell the virtual helmets at a discount.

Earning less profit and playing the victim should garner a lot of support from players.

Of course, all of this depends on the effectiveness of the initial promotional campaign for "The Bloody Golden Triangle".

However, Chen Jiajun wasn't too worried.

He is very confident in this game, and Shen Yingying is in full charge of its promotion and marketing.

Putting everything else aside, Shen Yingying is absolutely a master at generating buzz and creating hype.

Having figured these things out, Chen Jiajun felt much more relaxed.

Open the official website backend,

The game pre-registration channel is closed.

From now on, all free online reservations will be discontinued.

No one can make a free reservation through the official website anymore.

This paves the way for the future sale of virtual reality headsets and is also a key step in the transition to a paid model.

Players who missed out on the closed beta benefits will have to pay to pre-register if they want to play the game.

Leaving aside the system's task-related factors.

After all,
He needs to eat too.

Free services cannot last forever, and generating electricity out of love is ultimately not a sustainable solution.

Just like writing a novel, it always goes through the stages of being published and then charging fees.

With the author receiving compensation and their livelihood secured, they naturally have more confidence in their writing, leading to increasingly brilliant works.

To put it another way,

Even if he were truly willing to work for love and continue doing so for free, Shen Yingying would never agree.

Having invested so much money and put in so much effort, there's bound to be some return.

Charging fees is imperative!

As for the specific pricing strategy and how to implement price reduction and discount plans, he needs to find time to discuss it thoroughly with Shen Yingying.

All the necessary preparations have been completed.
Finally I can take a breath.

Chen Jiajun leaned back in his chair and stretched.

I casually opened the game's official website forum.

It's been three days since the server opened, and yesterday another player received a helmet. I wonder how the story is progressing and what their opinions are on the game.

Sure enough, there were quite a few new posts on the forum.

I glanced at it and there were no negative reviews.

Aside from some regular reviews and discussions, there are analysis posts about the plot and the game.

Among them, the most popular posts were those by "King of Freebies" and "Sun and Moon Made the Same Mistake".

After yesterday's analysis post about the sun and moon being wrong went viral, today's post is still another analysis post.

The content is more in-depth than yesterday's analysis.

The book focuses on analyzing the anti-fraud value contained in "Bloody Golden Triangle: Survivors".

[To date, I've created 21 new characters and discovered a very interesting feature.]

Each time a character is created, the system generates a different backstory; there are 21 characters, each with its own unique life story.

The anti-fraud tips that appear in the game's ending credits after each character dies are also different.

This demonstrates that the production team put a lot of effort into integrating anti-fraud content.

They not only attempted to present a complete picture of the fraud cases, but also strived to give each character a realistic personality arc.

This is something that most games on the market cannot achieve. I've compared the top ten games from the TIG competition, and their understanding of the anti-fraud theme remains superficial, mostly relying on the satisfying feeling of punishing evil and promoting good, or using violence to combat violence, to attract players.

Judging from the completeness and depth of content of "The Bloodstained Golden Triangle," as long as the publicity during the public beta phase doesn't falter, even if it doesn't become a phenomenal hit, it will definitely secure a place in a specific niche.

[Finally, a suggestion: I hope more complete biographical information about the character can be released in the future.]

[We could consider unlocking complete biographical information by achieving specific in-game milestones.]

This approach enhances narrative immersion and further improves the effectiveness of anti-fraud campaigns.

{Newbie: Wow, you're amazing! I didn't even notice that detail until you pointed it out.}
{Three times: The evaluation is very fair! (Thumbs up)}
{Retiring from the game: Sigh, I'm so envious. I haven't received my virtual reality headset yet. /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~}
Chen Jiajun looked at the post and promptly marked it as a featured post.

His comments were insightful, full of practical information and honesty, which he appreciated.

The last suggestion, in particular, really hit the nail on the head.

He did have a similar idea when he was designing it.

However, the data mining and computation costs involved in fully reconstructing a person's life are simply beyond the capacity of an individual developer or a small workshop like his.

Unless... the system is willing to intervene.

That's something to look forward to.

The redemption shop is not yet unlocked.

Once you've accumulated enough reputation points, there might be some unexpected surprises in the exchange shop.

Exit the thread.
Chen Jiajun casually clicked on the update of the King of Freebies.

After being criticized by the analysis post about the sun and moon being wrong yesterday, this guy changed direction.

It seems like I'm going to focus on plot analysis from now on.

[Comrades, I have successfully crossed the river and arrived safely at one of Myawaddy's companies!]

[Disclaimer: The following content contains spoilers. Proceed with caution if you are sensitive to spoilers!]

[...I have to give a shout-out to the set design! The costumes are so evocative of the era, and the desolate, dilapidated mountains give it the feel of a retro movie.]

[With its perfect character interaction design, every shot is a performance in itself.]

[Ahem... Getting back to the point. The main storyline is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface. Regarding the kidnapping scene at the beginning, I tried countless escape methods, and I can basically conclude: don't struggle, there's no way to escape.]

Just follow the plot obediently; as long as you don't resist, your life won't be in danger.

[These kidnappers are just jealous of your handsome face and want to teach you a lesson. If you dare to resist, you'll not only get a beating, but after that, you'll be tied up like a dumpling and thrown into a corner.]

Their ultimate goal is money; they won't kill unless absolutely necessary.

They'll sell you into a company, or... well, the industrial park would be a more accurate description.

The park doesn't look like much from the outside, but the inside is surprisingly luxurious.

[Upon entering, you'll see a very large and clean outdoor swimming pool, in addition to a game room, hotel, and other entertainment facilities.]

I feel like I'm not here to work, but rather to an entertainment center. I'm kind of looking forward to it.

[I recorded this segment live; click the video below to watch if you're interested.]

[Finally, remember to like and follow! I'll put future updates in a collection and push them out simultaneously.]

Surprisingly, this guy reacted so quickly.

Chen Jiajun scrolled through the post from beginning to end, then silently gave it a thumbs up.

I have to say, this kid has pretty good insight.

The kidnapping at the beginning of the game is an unsolvable plot point in the game's design.

I thought he would struggle on that broken ship for a few more days, but he suddenly had a breakthrough.

Without any hints, I've already gotten to the main storyline so quickly.

But don't get too excited yet, we've only just arrived at Miaowadi.

The nightmare hasn't even begun yet.

Did you think you were in an entertainment center?
Are you still looking forward to starting work?
Hehe, don't rush!
The best is yet to come!
