I Just Want Players to Save Money, They Insist on Giving Me!

Chapter 418: Chapter 148: The History of Blue Star Gaming!_1

Qin Xiong never expected his company to stand out from the many competitors.

Even when he just walked into the reception room and saw the industry leaders like "JingFa" and "Flash Delivery" there, he just felt a chill in his heart.

Compared to their mature server companies, his own had no advantage whatsoever.

Because of this, he had to play his trump card from the bottom of the deck.

An extra small server as a bonus!

This was something other companies would never dare to say out loud.

The cost of servers in today’s internet boom has become increasingly transparent, and there are too many competing businesses.

Thus, profits have been squeezed to the limit; you really just earn a small sum of hard-earned money.

Admittedly, even with this trump card, Qin Xiong felt that his chances of winning were slim.

He was well aware of what level the subsidiary server, besides the main server, was at...

But helplessly, the industry had just started and hadn’t been around for two years; many pieces of equipment were still imperfect, and there was no money for iterative upgrades.

Despite wanting to cling to a big tree like Number One Player, he was powerless to do so.

He took it as an attempt.

What Qin Xiong didn’t expect was.

The folks at Number One Player, they really chose him...

Why is that...

With their large business, do they just fancy one of our subsidiary servers?

But looking at Mr. Ke’s sincere smile, it didn’t seem acted.

He seemed really happy!

Until he signed a contract and walked out of Number One Player Company, Qin Xiong still felt somewhat dazed.

Damn!

Am I dreaming?

Considering Number One Player’s history of every game they release becoming a hit, our company seems... about to take off!

...

After sending Qin Xiong off, Ke Jin fobbed off a few words with excuses that sounded at least somewhat reasonable like "the company is still developing," "we need to spend money where it matters," and "why not take an extra server," then packed Liu Xuanxuan off.

He went back to his office, closed the door, and lay back in his chair.

He started calculating rapidly in his mind.

It was normal for others not to understand his thinking.

After all, the path he was taking was not a common one.

Subsidiary server, relying on frequent server crashes to stop players from spending money?

Too small-minded!

As a player with a variety of tastes in his past life, Ke Jin knew all too well how terrible a gaming experience frequent server crashes could bring.

Imagine, a normal player who is, after all, a low-spender or even a non-spender—look at this brilliant prospect.

Working hard on their game, and then you selfishly crash their server.

Won’t the kid’s face turn to tears?

After crying, in a fit of anger, what if they decide to vent by spending money?

Okay, Ke Jin made up all those excuses.

He just didn’t want normal gamers to suffer the impact of server fluctuations.

We should earn money standing tall!

So.

Think bigger!

Separate the game’s main server from the shopping mall server!

Use two different frameworks.

For the game’s main body, choose Tianci’s main server to ensure network stability and provide players with uninterrupted gaming.

The shopping mall server can muddle through with the subsidiary server given by Tianci as a bonus.

That subsidiary server was specifically chosen by Ke Jin himself.

Before signing the contract, Qin Xiong showed Ke Jin several details of subsidiary servers.

Ke Jin immediately took a liking to that server situated in the great northwest of Huaxia Nation, celebrated as the "Silver City beyond the Great Wall."

It can only sustain synchronization of a few thousand people at a time; exceeding that number would overburden and steadily crash the server.

Steady crashes! What a lovely phrase!

Moreover, it was said that this subsidiary server was once used by Tianci’s owner when starting up, and at that time, it was used for information transmission for small enterprises, so it was able to operate stably without needing to be too large.

Now, turning into the gaming industry, this subsidiary server became somewhat awkward.

And because of its remote location.

If its response time spreads across the country.

It might not be like a light boat hitting a massive iceberg, but at least it’s like the Titanic doing a backflip—it needs some time.

With the response speed slowing down, it means that players opening the shop and selecting the payment items will have to wait a long time.

If a player wanting to spend money can’t do it right away and more new players keep coming in.

The result is that the number of people accumulating on the server dedicated to the mall increases.

Once it reaches the breaking point, it will crash!

Hmph, when the server explodes, no tycoon is innocent!

Despite countless fails, Ke Jin still confidently thinks that this time his idea is perfect!

It’s almost impeccable in every aspect!

Even the name of the collaborating company sounds so pleasant to the ear.

Tianci!

A heaven-sent opportunity!

"This move is mine!" Ke Jin thought, then quickly held his tongue.

Then he switched to a different rhetoric.

"...I’m bound to lose!"

Before, it was win, win, win, and then lose everything.

Now I’ll use some reverse psychology.

I’ll jinx myself to lose!

Doesn’t that mean I can’t lose?

Tsk, getting discharged from the hospital!

...

With the plan set, Ke Jin started thinking about the accompanying game.

First off, an online game would definitely need to utilize the server’s capacity on a large scale.

And Cloud Top, which he had at hand, was just the right type of entertaining competitive online game.

Next, the champions of LOL had accumulated over 20 PVs in the past year.

Add a dozen more, and after the company has developed further and can support the volume of LOL, we can announce the server launch.
