Chapter 99: Chapter 56: I intended to interact with you as an ordinary designer, but unexpectedly, it led to estrangement_3

The executives’ eyes lit up at once.

What a plan!

Indeed, not bad.

They had considered waging a price war before.

This approach is quite common, especially in the shopping industry where price wars almost fly every year, with examples of companies bleeding out to take down their competitors.

But the game industry, unlike the few dominant shopping industries, is populated with large, medium, and small companies.

If they don’t act together, launching an offensive on their own against the top player in a price war...

Even if they fight to the death, it would only benefit other companies.

Now, however, with nearly 20 reputable companies in the B-grade sector all gathered, if they band together to fight a price war...

They could indeed crush that small company.

But some executives thought further and asked.

"What if he doesn’t make a new game..."

Yu Xiao became even more confident.

"Don’t worry, in two more months, it will be the annual Ice and Snow Games Festival. This is the time when players have lots of year-end bonuses, red packets, and New Year’s money, also the best time for all major companies to launch games. Many people will aim to climb the new game charts. If he wants to make money, he simply can’t miss out."

"By then, if we keep our old games at stable prices and introduce even just some benefits, we’ll harvest a trove of player’s coffers and pull him down with new games."

At this point, Yu Xiao stood up, his hands propping on the table, and smiled.

"Who’s in favor and who’s against?"

Without exception.

All the executives who participated in this meeting raised their hands.

"It’s here, it’s here!"

Awaited and anticipated, the deadline for the "Wind Traveler" mission finally arrived.

Truth be told, this was the most Ke Jin had looked forward to a mission’s end since acquiring the system.

The main reason being that Brother Tong Zi said he had triggered a comeback hidden mission, and the next game could unlock a spending cap.

Although there was likely to be other restrictions, at least it was something to look forward to.

He washed his hands, bathed and dressed, trying to make himself look more like an emperor.

Finally, as the clock struck midnight.

The system’s prompt also suddenly sounded.

["Wind Traveler" companion mission is being settled!]

[Congratulations on completing the companion mission - Regular Mission!]

[You received the regular mission reward: Platinum grade blind box*2! System experience*10000EXP!]

[Your ultimate mission has failed, but since you have accumulated six failures, you’ve triggered the hidden title ’Bounce Back’!]

[Hidden Title: Bounce Back]

[Activation: Activate immediately upon equipping!]

[Effect 1: Within two months of the title activation, for any new game you publish (note, it must be a new game released within these two months), the companion missions will temporarily remove the ultimate mission! Furthermore, the release logic of regular missions will switch from ’quota restrictions’ to ’guaranteed revenue’. Achieving the guaranteed revenue will entitle you to the regular mission reward. By that time, please strive to sell more and earn more from the game!]

[Effect 2: During the activation period, completing regular missions will increase the rewards for the ultimate mission! Please check the details in the companion missions for the game you publish.]

[Finally, we wish you a pleasant life!]

...

Fucking hell!

After seeing the series of prompts, Ke Jin’s eyes widened in shock.

Temporary removal of the quota restriction?

That means...

For new games released in the next two months, he can set the price freely, aiming for more sales and more earnings?

Previously, he had no choice. The system demanded a spending cap. If he tried to inflate sales, he might not even complete the regular missions.

Even though he might not achieve the ultimate mission, at least with regular missions, he could open blind boxes and work on the next game. Even if he had to work within the cap, it would still be far more than what he made working a crappy day job for a month.

Now, perhaps Brother Tong Zi, fearing that Ke Jin’s Dao heart would shatter and he would give up, just standing idle and subsist for the rest of his life with a few developed games...

Gave him a feast of indulgence directly?

Hiss!!

Being human... Oops, no, managing a system...

You’ve got to look at Brother Tong Zi, ah!

He even knows the value of balancing work and leisure.

"Very well!" Ke Jin was instantly filled with energy.

Previously, he suppressed his efforts to the maximum, trying not to let players spend too much, fearing that they would splurge.

But now that the seal was broken!

There was nothing more to say.

Lately, the top player had been constantly subject to smear attacks by paid posters hired by some peers.

Just because the top player was in its rising phase, the impact wasn’t that great.

But that didn’t mean Ke Jin hadn’t been paying attention to those comments.

They were essentially annoyed that he voluntarily lowered his prices, disrupting the market.

But they should have taken a look at what kind of crap gacha games they were making.

Players have been eating shit for a long time, and now that they finally got a few decent meals, you bunch of backstage shit-cookers are unhappy?

I thought of interacting with you as an ordinary designer, but in exchange, I was met with alienation.

Fine then, I’ll drop the act.

Next, I’ll teach you how to make a good gacha game!
