The game is only half finished, and the entire internet is begging for an update!

"hiss……!!!"

In the conference room, someone suddenly started inhaling deeply.

The way everyone looked at Shen Zhaozhao began to change.

When they make games, all they think about is gameplay, systems, programming, and art. But when it comes to how to trick players... well, attract them in, they have to rely on professionals.

"Zhao Zhao, your efforts in operations haven't been in vain."

"No wonder people say that operations research is all about human nature. You're so young, yet you've almost figured out human nature completely."

"We can directly convert high marketing costs into free game access for players! This will not only instantly generate buzz but also quickly and accurately identify our core user group!"

"That's a great idea!"

Jiang Bo found it more and more interesting the more he listened.

In a typical trial event, players might just glance at it and move on.

But if the rule changes to "surpass him and you get the game for free," the nature of the game immediately changes.

These days, who doesn't like getting something for free?

Didn't you see that old man who was giving away free eggs at the supermarket entrance even took a bus to collect them?

What's more, before getting something for free, you can also conveniently trample on the game's creators.

Wouldn't players have to line up to come?

Jiang Bo strongly agreed with this approach.

This kind of promotional effect not only has a great effect on attracting traffic to the game, but also greatly helps to raise expectations for it.

In the process of repeatedly challenging him and trying to surpass him to get free games, players will inevitably experience countless failures, anger, resentment, and the occasional ecstasy of surpassing him!

Who wouldn't want to get free warehousing qualifications?

"This is absolutely brilliant!"

Moreover, the rules could be even simpler.

"However, we can't give too many attempts; each person can only have two."

"If my Ghost Car out of the two attempts surpasses my performance even once, it will be added to the library for free after the official launch of World's End: Dust."

"If you fail twice, then you should just buy it at the original price."

There's no need for points redemption, nor for players to forward to a dozen groups or bring in twenty new users.

If you win, it's free.

If you can't outrun them, you have to pay up.

If you're good at cooking, just practice more! It's that simple!

As for the cost of the game... well, that's even easier to say. There aren't that many people who can successfully complete the challenge!

Moreover, his ancestral techniques already save a lot of costs.

If all else fails, try a limited-time challenge; manufacturers will never lose money that way!

……

Half a month slipped by unnoticed as players repeatedly reminisced about the previous game and endlessly imagined the new trailer.

half a month later.

Nine o'clock in the morning.

Chaoxi Games' official Deep Blue platform account and official Weibo account suddenly updated with a post without any warning.

It was a game poster for "World's End: Dust" and a long announcement!

The World's End: Beyond the Dust player ghost limited-time challenge officially begins today!

Below is a set of activity rules that couldn't be simpler.

[Event Format: Virtual Racing Challenge]

Each player has two official challenge opportunities.

[Challenge Goal: Surpass producer Jiang Bo's lap time on the ghost car]

[Challenge Successful: Free access to the full version of World's End: Far From Home]

[Challenge failed: Can be purchased at full price after official release]

[The official release date for World's End: Far From Home is one month from now, at 12:00 PM]

At the very bottom of the announcement, there was a sentence that had never been revealed to the public before.

To deliver a more immersive driving experience, *World's End: Far From Home* will support native VR virtual reality mode and be compatible with traditional PC controls!

[This challenge was created using virtual technology from World's End: Dust. The content is for a trial experience only; the full version will include more complete cars, tracks, and game content.]

Not long after the message was sent.

The comment section was eerily quiet for a while.

The first group of players who arrived were then completely dumbfounded.

"Wait a minute?"

"Thirty days later? The game is released?!"

"Now you even tell me what time it's released? Are you finally treating me like family?"

"Wait, has Jiang the old scoundrel been possessed? When did Chaoxi Games learn to release games on time like this?"

"Did I read that right? It didn't say 'Coming Soon'? It didn't say 'Release This Year'? It specified the exact date and time?!"

"This is illogical! Is this real? I suggest Zhao Zhao come out and explain whether President Jiang has been taken into custody by you."

"I even suspect I followed the wrong account."

"Chaoxi actually gave an accurate release date? My youth is over."

However, before players could recover from the shock of Chaoxi Games no longer making empty promises, someone quickly discovered what was truly outrageous.

"What the hell?! A virtual game?!"

"ChaoXi Games' 'Dustless'...it's actually a virtual reality game?!"

"A virtual racing challenge?"

Did I miss a word?

"So this thing is a dual-mode PC and VR device?!"

This left all the players who had been eyeing "Dustless" completely bewildered.

Because in the trailer at the Shanghai Game Show, Chaoxi showcased characters, tracks, teams, cross-game content, and even showed a lot of actual footage.

But from beginning to end, Chao Xi never mentioned that this game had a virtual version!

See here.

At this point, the group of people could no longer sit still.

"When did Chaoxi start making virtual games?"

"Weren't they working on 'Dating Requires Talking to People' just a few months ago?"

"Yeah, I remember when 'Peerless' was announced, they didn't say anything!"

"Did you secretly have another big one again?"

The most shocked were the players who regularly played virtual games.

They know all too well that the experience of actually sitting in a virtual racing game is completely different from that of playing a regular PC racing game.

The latter is significantly more expensive and more difficult to develop.

Soon after, another problem arose.

price.

"Forget about the content, I only care about one thing right now."

"How much?"

"If they really make a virtual version, wouldn't the price skyrocket?"

"I can accept two or three hundred for a traditional racing game, but with a virtual version and device compatibility, four hundred isn't unreasonable, right?"

"Yeah! I just bought a VR headset, and my wallet is completely empty!"

"They were cheaper before, but we can't possibly ask for tens of dollars back this time, can we?"

"That's right, Chaoxi used to be quite conscientious, but virtual games are never cheap."

"Oh no, my wallet is suddenly hurting."

Just as a group of people were recovering from the shock of the virtual version, they immediately began to worry about their bank balances.

But only a few minutes later...

Someone glanced at the event rules again and then mumbled a comment.

Have you guys forgotten... that this game can be played for free?

The comment section fell silent for a moment.

Yeah, isn't there some kind of limited-time challenge?

As long as we can outrun Jiang Bo.

Free data entry.

Then why bother researching the selling price?

Price is a problem only losers need to worry about!

As a result, public opinion took an instant 180-degree turn.

Price? Doesn't matter, I'm prepared to buy it for free.

The price is for those who can't outrun Jiangbo; what does it have to do with me?

[Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry, but you may lose a paying user in a month.]

The free game is right here; it's up to you whether you have the skills to take it!

Some people have even started tagging their friends who usually race cars.

[Hurry! Freebie event!]

[You just need to beat one game developer; I don't think it'll be difficult!]

[Jiang Bo is good at making games, how good can he be at driving?]

This statement quickly gained widespread acceptance.

After all, what is Jiang Bo's identity in the players' minds?

Game producer, boss, master of empty promises, target of constant updates...

You say he makes good games, and everyone agrees.

Is it a racing car?

Many people laughed on the spot.

How fast can someone who sits in an office all day run?

"Does President Jiang usually drive an automatic car?"

"I didn't lose a single point in real life, so this free qualification is a sure thing."

"Dude, not getting a single point deducted only proves you obey the law, not that you drive fast."

"Isn't this basically just giving away the game for free?"

So the group of people who originally just wanted to watch the excitement suddenly became very interested.

Some people have even started giving their acceptance speeches in advance.

"Thank you Chaoxi Games, thank you Mr. Jiang, and thank you for my ten years of driving experience. I'll reserve this free game now."

"This time, I can finally drive fast!"

"See you at the track, guys!"
