Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1090: Boss Pei’s Good Ideas Are At His Fingertips!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Pei Qian was absolutely stunned by his genius plan.

I’m such a genius to be able to think of such a way to cheat!

Unlike ‘Pudu’, Pei Qian used a ‘under the darkness of a lamp’ method to cheat.

Pudu was indeed very well-hidden, but it had to be said that the players were all strange. No matter how well-hidden it was, players could still dig it out.

Thus, he decided not to hide the demon sword anymore. Instead, he placed it in the plot.

It made all players feel that it was a plot prop. They would continue to search for a ‘Pudu’-like cheat in various corners, but they would forget that the real cheat had always been with them.

The conditions to use the demon sword to cheat were very harsh.

First, the damage of the demon sword was lower than other weapons from the beginning. The weapons seized from any boss, such as the mourning stick of the Black and White Impermanence, were much stronger than it.

At the beginning, the protagonist would not use the demon sword to fight. Instead, he would use the sword that he was most satisfied with when he was alive. The attributes of this sword would also be better than the demon sword.

What’s more, the more Bosses they fought, the less damage the demon sword would deal.

The conditions to accumulate bewitched points were also very harsh. He had to only take one demon sword and not any other weapon.

Since the protagonist was a Martial God, the weapon settings for Eternal Reincarnation were much freer than Repent and be Saved.

The protagonist could do whatever he wanted. He could even hold a dual wield weapon in each hand.

On the other hand, the attacking distance and damage of dual wield weapons were much higher than one-handed weapons. However, the attacking interval and forward swing were longer.

Under such circumstances, the veteran players of Repent and be Saved would definitely choose the dual wield weapons with the highest damage and the most handy. That would be easier to deal with the boss.

The attributes of the demon sword were so rubbish. Even if he took it, he would definitely use another weapon.

However, he would not be able to accumulate enough bewitched points.

He had to only use a Demon Sword with the worst stats, which would not cause damage to anyone. He had to die many times before he could feel the changes in the Demon Sword.

What’s more, the changes in the early stages were not obvious. That was because there was a limit to the amount of bewitched points in the early stages. The more the plot progressed, the higher the upper limit of the bewitched points would be. Only then would there be a situation of “Fully-Automated Parry”.

All in all, the demon sword would not be useful in the early stages. However, it would not be a problem to kill the boss after dying a few more times. The more it died in the later stages, the better it would be. It could only lead to a bad ending.

To Pei Qian, as long as he knew about this mechanism in advance, he would just die a few more times and suffer a little in the beginning. He would be able to cheat with the difficult bosses in the later stages.

It had been a long time since the game was developed and officially released. They would be able to complete it as long as they died many times.

Players who did not know about this mechanism would only choose stronger weapons or search for weapons like ‘Pudu’. They would never think that the real cheat weapon had always been with them.

Of course, there was also a possibility that some big shots were too awesome. They no longer challenged powerful weapons and deliberately used the trashiest demon sword to fight the boss.

However, he did not have to worry about being exposed as well.

That was because such a veteran had already trained his skills to the point of perfection. He would not die frequently at all. Naturally, he would not accumulate demon points and trigger the automatic parry of the demon sword.

Simply put, rookies wouldn’t like to use it. Veteran players would not be able to activate it.

The more Pei Qian thought about it, the more perfect it seemed.

Hehe, stupid gamers, you didn’t think of that, did you? I changed the place I’m hiding my cheat weapon!

As long as gamers could not find the right way to use this weapon, they would have to fight the boss honestly. If they became addicted to Eternal Reincarnation, wouldn’t Repent and be Saved’s sales decrease?

After that, the game would be free of charge!

Pei Qian had put in a lot of effort to make the game free.

What’s more, since the game was so difficult, it would be a good time to torture those players.

Don’t you like high difficulty? Then let me show you what true difficulty is!

I don’t believe that I, a designer, can’t deal with you gamers!

On the other side, the designers were taking notes in their notebooks.

Hu Xianbin wanted to give a standing round of applause.

The design was amazing!

It was completely different from Pudu, but there were some different routes.

This setting matched the plot.

The protagonist became more and more bewitched. That meant that his body was gradually controlled by the demonic thoughts. If he fought under the control of the demonic thoughts, he would be able to block them automatically. However, he would slowly lose himself and would not be able to wake up and become a Prison Keeper. Instead, he would cause the entire world to fall into disaster.

The game was originally very difficult. However, after adding this setting, the difficulty of the game was equivalent to dynamic adjustment.

When players were stuck and died frequently, their bewitched points would gradually increase and the artificial intelligence system would automatically take over. The chances of the automatic perfect parry would become higher and higher. The difficulty would naturally decrease, and players would be able to fight their way through.

Of course, the prerequisite for all of this was that players had to know about this mechanism.

If players did not only use a demon sword to fight the boss, they would not be able to trigger it no matter how many times they died.

Hu Xianbin was not worried even though this mechanism was well-hidden.

Didn’t the players find Pudu even though it was so well-hidden?

The facts had proven that gamers’ wisdom was endless. Anything hidden in the game would definitely be found. The only difference was whether it was found earlier or later.

He had to admit that Boss Pei was really extravagant.

Such a combat system and background story could be used to develop a new game.

There was no problem calling it Repent and be Saved 2.

However, Boss Pei was only using such a good idea as downloadable content. That was rather extravagant!

However, this also meant that Boss Pei had too many good ideas. Designs of this level were all at his fingertips. He was not worried about the new game’s inspiration drying up.

Hu Xianbin felt even more respect for Boss Pei at that thought.

Some details were easy to resolve with the general direction.

For example, there would be huge changes to the weapon system in Eternal Reincarnation.

All weapons could be freely dual wielded. Moreover, according to the difference in the main and secondary weapons, the special effects of light attack, heavy attack, and secondary weapons would change. Players could freely match their weapons according to their own preferences.

In addition, the game’s plot became clearer after Boss Pei’s explanation. Some details related to the plot in the game could be perfected.

For example, the protagonist would encounter some enemies and evil people that he had killed before he died in hell. These people would become stronger in hell and look for the protagonist to seek revenge, but they would still be defeated.

There would be some special props to kill these enemies or in places like the Three-Life Stone to reveal the bits and pieces of the story of the protagonist when he was alive.

The designers felt that they were bursting with inspiration and seriously designing.

Yu Fei, the original author, also felt deeply inspired.

He might be the original author of Eternal Reincarnation but he felt that his understanding of the entire story was definitely not as good as Boss Pei.

The entire story seemed to become deeper after Boss Pei’s interpretation.

Many details in the original novel seemed rough on the edges compared to Boss Pei’s understanding.

The downloadable content ‘Eternal Reincarnation’ had gathered the elite forces of Tengda Games and was personally guided by Boss Pei. How much face was he given!

Many players would definitely come to read the original novel of Eternal Reincarnation.

How could he bear to disappoint the gamers with the novel then?

Thus, the novel had to be edited!

Yu Fei decided not to let his original novel drag them down. When he returned, he would forget about food and sleep and make adjustments to the content of the novel. He would make minor adjustments to the original story structure and try to make the content of the novel perfect!

June 5th, Tuesday...

Meng Chang came to the office early in the morning to check on the current effect of the inspiration class publicity plan.

He had to admit that the efficiency of the entire advertising and marketing department was still very fast. After handing the plan to Yu Yao yesterday, all sorts of web-based advertisements had already been released today.

The physical advertisements for bus stations and subway stations were slower, but they should be able to be fully released within a week!

Such advertisements took a long time.

However, Meng Chang did not think that far ahead. The best way to describe his mentality was: He had to fight for every small chance, not wait!

He had to set a small goal first. He had to maintain reverse publicity for two weeks and get a guaranteed commission.

He would set a mid-tier goal to maintain reverse publicity for a month and obtain a higher commission.

As for the highest goal, it would definitely be a full commission.

However, Meng Chang felt that it was still too difficult to get a full commission. He could already thank the heavens and thank Boss Pei for not killing him.

He casually flipped through the comments on the advertisement online.

“What’s with Zhongdian Chinese Network’s new advertisement? It’s so ugly!”

“It’s fine if they’re ugly, but the content is not right. These books have poor results on Zhongdian Chinese Network. How can they praise them?”

“Is being ranked in the top thirty on the entire station something that can be used as an honor to publicize? Isn’t this really high-end criticism?”

“Is this publicity plan outsourced? I feel that the person who made the proposal does not understand the online literature industry at all. It’s too unprofessional!”

“Didn’t anyone from Zhongdian Chinese Network check this?”

“I just feel that this inspiration class is not good. What kind of rubbish works are they incubating? The big shots and authors who participated are all trash. Their talents are wasted for writing at a high price!”

The corners of Meng Chang’s mouth curled up into a satisfied smile when he saw these comments.

It was exactly as he had expected!

In fact, many readers were already very dissatisfied with this inspiration class.

The author wrote the original theme well, and the hardcore readers loved to read it. In the end, because of the temptation of this inspiration class on the high fixed-rate contracts, the authors wrote on themes that they were not good at. The authors were uncomfortable writing them and the readers were uncomfortable reading them. What was the meaning of this?

The publicity plan for the inspiration class this time was so bad. Naturally, it intensified the conflict and made the readers even more dissatisfied.

That was exactly what Meng Chang wanted.

Wouldn’t the commission for this month be stable as long as the readers’ anger and dissatisfaction could continue?
