This game is so weird!

After concluding his discussion with Vera, determining the current research direction of the research institute, and solving the biggest pain point for the players, Li Ang happily returned to the guild building.

Arriving at the president's private office on the top floor, I leaned back in the boss's chair and admired the sea view outside the window.

On the first day of the guild's opening, almost all the players in the game came to join in the fun. The players were densely packed downstairs, and every now and then they would pilot the Sea Moth out of the sea.

This scene put Li Ang in a good mood.

What hardworking little bees! Are there any better employees than them?

The initiative of employees is the best recognition of the boss's management effectiveness. Then I'm doing a really good job!

Using his limited management knowledge gleaned from his previous life, Li Ang evaluated himself and, feeling quite pleased with himself, began to ponder what else he could offer the players in return.

One-sided efforts are never sustainable; everyone needs to work together.

Li Ang thought for a while. The development mission was temporarily stalled, and it seemed that no more game content could be provided before the Development Division's acceptance. Since the core product could not be improved in value, he could only think of other solutions.

Although Li Ang is very confident in the appeal of the second world he is providing, and the number of pre-registrations has exceeded 2000, he still wants to provide players with a better experience if things can be made easier.

To achieve a win-win situation for all parties involved in the community of shared interests.

Otherwise, if players run away one day, Creation Star will go bankrupt in no time due to the imbalance of computing power and insufficient income.

One reason Li Ang didn't mass-produce signal towers for large-scale public testing after they were unlocked was because he was worried about this situation.

Another reason is the restriction on the player's activity range.

The area that Scarred Star has been explored so far is only a small part around the island where the exploration base is located. The more distant sea areas are isolated by huge trenches, and ferocious Leviathan-class dangerous creatures patrol near the trenches. The Sea Moth is just a can of meat for them.

Although Li Ang is not a professional game developer, his many years of gaming experience and cloud gaming expertise have not been in vain.

Players are restless and chaotic creatures. If there is a core gameplay, most players will follow it. The few players who like to explore freely are unlikely to cause major trouble. For the very few players who cause damage, a refund or account ban will suffice.

However, if there is no core gameplay with high replayability and players are confined to a small area near the island, then it's all over.

Players will first let you know what the Fourth Calamity is.

On the first day, the cabinets in the base were gone.

The next day, the base gate was gone.

On the third day, the base was gone.

Even if we are preparing to open source and introduce new players, we still need to improve the retention rate and online rate of old players. Creation Star has not yet reached the point of having redundant manpower.

If Li Ang could attract tens of thousands of players to the game every day and stay for a stable 8 hours, he could even mass-produce 100,000 troops and sweep through the enemy lines, cutting Leviathans into sushi with just a small dagger and dominating the Scarred Star.

Unfortunately, he didn't.

Given the current situation, it's more likely that on the first day, they'll recruit 100,000 players to "slay Yama," but on the second day, due to a drop in online rate of more than half, 50,000 bio-warriors will collapse due to lack of computing power, and on the third day, they'll be declared GG due to excessive losses of biomass resources.

Not to mention that the base's biomass supply is limited to hunting sea fish for guild missions, and relying solely on manpower to collect it simply cannot support the consumption of 100,000 warriors.

Li Ang summarized the issues and concluded that there are currently three core problems on the Scarred Star:

1. Gameplay and retention issues: The suspension of exploration missions restricts the scope of player activities, resulting in a lack of highly playable core gameplay to attract and retain players.

We need to find ways to improve the retention and online rate of existing players to lay a good foundation for attracting new players in the future.

2. Biomass Production Bottleneck: Biomass is a crucial resource for sustaining bio-warriors and player characters. Currently, biomass sources are singular and inefficient, unable to support large-scale expansion. Insufficient production capacity is one of the fundamental obstacles restricting base expansion and accommodating more players.

The solution is to upgrade biomass production capacity.

3. The uncertainty of the arrival of the Imperial Expeditionary Bureau: Although the relationship between the Expeditionary Bureau and Li Ang is currently in a honeymoon period, and is even gradually warming up after the discovery of the ruins, Li Ang is still very wary of the organization that brought him to the alternate dimension.

However, the third question has already been prepared. For the second question, Li Ang plans to ask Yue Qing, the experienced vice president of the guild, to help him search for suitable biomass industry technology for Scar Star. After paying for it, he will arrange for players to build it.

The biggest question then becomes: how do we improve player retention and online activity?

Li Ang thought for a long time and felt that there was no good way to deal with it on Chuanghen Star for the time being. Even if he tried to develop a sex industry like the Three Men and One Dog 5 online model, he would have to wait until the Pioneer Division left.

It wouldn't be appropriate for Z to arrive and then say, "Sir, this way please. Let's go to the Development Division's clubhouse for a meal first, and then find a place to get a massage..."

No zuo no die (meaning "If you don't do stupid things, you won't die").

If we run into trouble, it'll be all over. It's better to obediently send the Pioneer Division away and continue being the overlord of Scar Planet.

"But that is one way. We'll ask Grandpa Yue later if there are any relevant restrictions in the Empire," Li Ang thought, recalling Yue Qing's kind and dignified face, and felt that he probably wouldn't know either.

"We'll check that later."

"Besides these, what else do modern people like the most...?"

"House, girl/boy, money..."

"How about we give them some money? With the Empire's manufacturing technology, counterfeiting a US dollar is a piece of cake... cough cough, let's keep that as an option."

"I think I also have a holding company on Earth. Let me ask them how much money they've made. If it's compliant with regulations, then let's issue the shares compliantly..."

"Otherwise, if a player gets arrested because the game company is giving them money as a subsidy, where will they go to seek justice..."

Li Ang added this item to his notes, then instructed the AI ​​Funny Face to tell Yue Qing to help him look up information on biomass and specialty industries before finishing the juice on the table.

"Ha~"

"It's so hot on the fourth floor..."

"Next, let's contact the college students at Star Mark Studio and ask them how the helmet production and sales are going."

Li Ang got up, preparing to return to the old base to make contact again; the temperature at the underwater base was still more comfortable.

"Rotom, please contact Captain Li Mengting of Earth Star Mark Studio and arrange for her team to discuss the company's future development later."

"Understood, Loto! When do I need to make an appointment?"

"After lunch... wait, let's do it after dinner."

Li Ang paused briefly and changed the time to the afternoon.

"After lunch, I'd like to go somewhere and ask someone to help me contact a team of guild guards to come with me."

The development of the planet Scars is on track, and with the help of cosmic workers, it can be pushed forward. We only need to occasionally keep an eye on its development and major events.

It's time to go see the ruins, the sealed ruins of the Goddess Nuwa...
