Chapter 385: Report on "Spiritual Sword" Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The reason why he said so much was that s.h.i.+rois.h.i.+ Kazuma wanted to take the opportunity to teach Qian Youjin. Thus, Qian Youjin naturally needed to show sufficient grat.i.tude. "I understand. Thank you, Mr. s.h.i.+, for your guidance."
"Mm, also, create an exquisite video clip. It must be authentic, don"t unnecessarily exaggerate it." s.h.i.+rois.h.i.+ Kazuma continued, "The main purpose of the video is to display the spectacular content of the game and clearly tell the players what kind of fun can be gotten out of playing it. We need to be honest in marketing this game and not let the players" expectations of the game be let down."
Speaking up to this point, he asked again, "Oh right, I"ve asked you to calculate and total up the user group. Have you done it?"
"The calculation results are out." Qian Youjin took out a small book. "Currently, the percentage of male players is 87.6%, and the percentage of female players is 12.4%. And the players who are truly willing to pay money for it mainly centers around the male players, which is almost 38.9% of the total players. That means that this portion of people would be willing to spend money to upgrade and increase their game values, and for the remaining portion, they basically would only play the game during the free of charge period."
"Mm," s.h.i.+rois.h.i.+ Kazuma nodded, then asked again, "What about the age composition?"
"The male users are mainly concentrated between the age of 18 to 35. The age range of the female users is much more narrow, about 22 to 29 years old." Qian Youjin said, "Mr. s.h.i.+, it"s impossible for a game to be able to satisfy all the players. Which group of players do you think these two games are more suitable for?"
"Our games are more suitable for males between 19 to 32 years old. It"s possible that a minority of female players would like it, but it"d definitely not be many." s.h.i.+rois.h.i.+ Kazuma touched his chin, then slowly said, "Focus the target audience of the advertis.e.m.e.nts towards the male players. There would definitely be a platform between these players for them to communicate with each other, so it"s more convenient to carry out the advertising too."
"Alright, Mr. s.h.i.+. Currently, the largest online gaming website in Heavenly State is Fun website, followed by Play Together website." Qian Youjin said.
"OK." s.h.i.+rois.h.i.+ Kazuma thought for a while, then said, "Start to advertise them. Get these two websites to do the advertis.e.m.e.nts, and request for the advertis.e.m.e.nts to be put in the most striking position. Also, the other website forums, or some other video-sharing website, even if it"s just a group chat, they are all opportunities that we cannot let go of.
"Also, apart from discovering suitable channels to promote our games, we can also use some gaming platforms and websites in the industry to promote them. You must know that most of the players mainly obtain news about the latest games through these two channels. One of them is from the recommendations by social media websites or online forums, and the other is the ranking charts on the internet. We can miss out on all these. If it"s possible, you can even go and find suitable people from Draconic Continent"s side and think of a way to request for them to help us promote it. Mm, of course, the hopes are not very high, you just need to try your best."
"OK." Qian Youjin instantly agreed.
Mingxin Network company.
"Director Liu, recently, there is a company called Huiteng Network that wants to put up a game advertis.e.m.e.nt on our Draconic Continent"s main page. The game is called Spiritual Sword." The secretary stood behind Liu Mingxin and said in a soft voice, "They offered 5 million for a period of one month."
"Don"t accept it." The exceedingly handsome, cool and charismatic Liu Mingxin, Big Young Master Liu, shook his head and insipidly said, "Being in the same business industry means we"re foes. Of course we can"t do this type of thing. But don"t directly reject them, be more indirect and polite about it."
"OK, I got it. I"ll go right away." The secretary instantly left.
"Spiritual Sword?" After the secretary had left, Liu Mingxin mumbled, "5 million to do an advertis.e.m.e.nt. This is big spending. Mm, the commercial fees for this game should not be too bad. I have carry out some investigations."
Thinking up to this point, Liu Mingxin called out again. "Come, help me contact Manager Wu from the sales department."
Very soon, Manager Wu from the sales department cautiously entered Liu Mingxin"s office and asked, "Young Master Liu, you"re looking for me?"
"Mm, recently a game called Spiritual Sword has appeared in the market. Bring some people with you and investigate about it, then hand me the report."
"OK, I"ll do that right away."
Two hours later.
Liu Mingxin stared at the preliminary report in his hands and frowned. "Background story: 8 points. Setting: 9 points. Character style: 9 points. Outer appearance of various equipment types: 9 points. Gameplay: 8 points. Flow: 8 points. Image quality: 9 points. Overall grading: 8.57 points. Looks like this game will have a very big impact on us. Draconic Continent is still fine, a large portion of the players are super loyal. But the problem lies in the Dream Dota League which is currently undergoing development. It"ll definitely suffer from very big oppression."
He thought for a while, then took out his smartphone, found Hong Dali"s phone number and instantly dialed it.
Actually, as the current number one genius in the Liu Family, Liu Mingxin was very capable. But with Hong Dali s.h.i.+ning ahead of him, and coupled with Dream Dota League which was completely created by Hong Dali, Liu Mingxin naturally still had to ask Hong Dali for his opinion.
Hong Dali, meanwhile, had ended his end-of-year examinations and brought a group of cla.s.smates along as they dashed towards the outer area of Tianjing Mountain in high spirits. Speaking of which, Hong Dali"s cla.s.smates were all very wealthy. Thus, the large number of luxurious cars attracted the attention of many people throughout the journey.
The people along the way pointed at them, saying, "Quickly look, it"s Young Master Dali"s company of cars! Luxurious! Cool!"
Many girls screamed, "Young Master Dali, I love you!"
Hong Dali: "What are they screaming for?"
Tang Muxin: "Just a group of gold-diggers, don"t bother about them!"
Hong Dali: "Oh, OK…"
Very soon, they reached the outer area of Tianjing Mountain. Just as they got there, Hong Dali saw a familiar person. That person wore a pair of sungla.s.ses, and behind him were two heavy trucks. It was the head of Lin Chuyin"s security group, Mu Huishou, Brother Turn Back.
Hong Dali hurriedly went forward to say h.e.l.lo. "Aiya, long time no see, long time no see. Brother Turn Back, you"re still so cool!"
"Haha. h.e.l.lo, Young Master Dali!" Once he saw Hong Dali, Mu Huishou went forward, saying, "Young Master Dali, I"ve brought all the things you wanted. This is the first batch of Mechanical Holy Garments produced, a total of 30 sets. Tianying Car Company"s side is still speeding up the production process. Because there"s a change in style, they need to completely redesign all the internal details. Currently, they"ve only produced ten samples, but they look quite good."
"So good!" Hong Dali was shocked, then he pointed at a storeroom at the side. "Help me thank Uncle Chief! Um, drive all the cars here. I"ll go right away to transform it a little and try it out, heh heh."
By then, once the surrounding cla.s.smates heard that there were actually Mechanical Holy Garments in this car, they were instantly stunned.
Hong Dali"s cla.s.smates had all heard of Holy Warriors of the G.o.ddess. But they didn"t think that Hong Dali had actually really made the Mechanical Holy Garment—and it was sent for ma.s.s production as well!
"That, Brother Dali, let us try it too…" Ling Yi stared at the box containing the Mechanical Holy Garments, his saliva about to spill out. "This thing looks very awesome just by looking at it! Please let me try it on!"
Du Xinzhen: "Brother Dali, let us put it on for a while too. Can this thing fly?"
Hong Dali looked at his cla.s.smates who appeared full of antic.i.p.ation and sniffled. "Mm, how about this, one set for everyone. Everyone, you can try it on and play with it first, but remember not to run too far away. All these are all high-tech stuff!" As he spoke, Hong Dali looked towards Mu Huishou. "Brother Turn Back, when you get back, help me request Uncle Chief for 30 to 40 more sets…"
This type of Mechanical Holy Garment cost 3 million per set! You brat gave these 30 sets out just by opening your mouth? And after that, you still want more?!
Mu Huishou frustratedly said, "Young Master Dali, these are all treasures! It"s fine if you let your cla.s.smates wear it for a while, but you"re not planning to directly give them away, are you?" Actually, this wasn"t the main thing. The main thing was that Mu Huishou"s face was full of injustice. "I didn"t even get one!"
"Uh… OK…" Hong Dali scratched his head. "Then just lend it to them for a while." Hong Dali gestured to his cla.s.smates. "Everyone, play with it. I"ll go to the storeroom first to play around with these cars!" As he spoke, Hong Dali instructed the driver of the heavy truck which contained ten samples of the cars. "This way, this way, be careful, all these cars are good stuff. In the future, they"ll be my personal cars!"
After Hong Dali had led the driver of the heavy truck into the storeroom, the large group of people moved the Granzon samples down. Within a short while, the movers had finished unloading all the Granzons and walked out of the storeroom. Then, with a "bang," the door of the storeroom was closed…
While Hong Dali went into the storeroom to play with the Granzon, his group of friends, in the meantime, were cheering as they went to try the Mechanical Holy Garments on.
Otherwise, why would it be called a holy garment? When these things were a.s.sembled, they did look more or less like those holy garments in Saint Seiya. They were all placed in large boxes made of t.i.tanium alloy, and once the b.u.t.ton was pressed, all the various holy garments, twelve zodiacs, twelve star signs, flying horses, green dragons, white birds, fairies and so on, under the sunlight, each of the holy garments emitted extremely striking lights.
All the cla.s.smates excitedly chose the holy garments to put on. They didn"t care about the exact star signs, zodiac and whatnots and just wore whichever was suitable for them. Tang Muxin, on the other hand, carefully took her pick of an Andromeda Mechanical Holy Garment and was very satisfied.
She was originally already very pretty, and now that she wore the Andromeda Mechanical Holy Garment, her entire being appeared more holy and pure. Quite a number of cla.s.smates exclaimed, "Wow, Young Master Dali is going to marry a fairy!" "Yes, yes, Xinxin is just too pretty!" "I"m green with envy, but I don"t dare to hate him. Why can"t I find such a pretty fiancée…"
Tang Muxin blushed furiously as she fiercely said, "Go and do whatever you"re supposed to do, don"t spout nonsense!"
Everyone instantly dispersed.
After everyone had gone to play by themselves, Tang Muxin"s small face was extremely red as she subconsciously glanced towards the storeroom where Hong Dali was at. This Hong Dali is just too infuriating. He"s so insensitive to others. Doesn"t he have any thoughts about girls in his mind?
When there"s a chance, I"ll definitely ferociously beat him up. He"s just too horrible!
Alas, as Tang Muxin was gritting her teeth, her smartphone suddenly rung…
