Chapter 30: Tianshu Company

 

 

 

Inside the office building of Tianshu Company (the owner of ), Huangzuan is watching the benefit report since the game was updated.

 

 

 

 

He frowns and says to the manager of marketing department standing in front of him: "We are not getting an ideal income. There are 32 hundred million and 60 million players enter our game, but we only receive less than 3000 hundred million, which means each player spends less than 7 hours per day in the game in these 3 months?!"

 

 

 

 Manager of marketing department complains in his mind: "What a greedy man! Eighty percent of players are amateur players, other companies will laugh if they spend 7 hours per week in the games, but you are still not satisfied with 7 hours per day!"

 

 

 

However he can't speak out to his boss like this. So he says: "Well, I think our income will increase. We have carried out publicity to underdeveloped area such as Africa and South Asia. We also convince many countries' ministry of education to make some plans to encourage students to play games."

 

 

 

"But students can't be online for too long because of study. This means the percentage of professional players is very high, which is not good to us."

 

 

 

Huangzuan says: "What about conversion between game currency and cash? The profit is only 20 hundred million, I would rather cancel it."

 

 

 

The manager says: "This is another evidence for the high percentage of professional players. There are lots of people converting game currency into cash. Also, the players major in living profession of the highest level sell most of their makings to NPC and exchange the game currency into RMB immediately, that's abnormal as well. They can earn much more if they sell things to other players."

 

 

 

Huangzuan snorts: "I know that's our compet.i.tors' tricks. The rich will put big money into the game if they sell good equipments. They just can't see us earn money. Naïve! What they do will be useless when there are more high-level players major in living profession later."

 

 

 

He suddenly laugh: "This guys are so stupid. If they send 10 AI into the game and only major in living profession, the profit is almost up to their companies' general income, ha-ha!"

 

 

 

The manager also smiles: "That's true. But a good AI is hard to create and needs a long time to evolve. I think they can only send one in reality."

 

 

 

Huangzuan thinks for a while: "You can leave. Tell the program director to come in. Oh yes, remember to cancel the free account next month."

 

 

 

The program director Liang Bo goes into the room, with anxiety on his face. Huangzuan confounds: "Is there any problem?"

 

 

 

Liang Bo bites his lips: "The old Kazakhstan we found was dead a moment ago because of brain f.a.g."

 

 

 

Huangzuan is not surprised: "We have had some people dead when we tested the game, but you have said the problems were all solved. Why does it happen again?"

 

 

 

Liang Bo says: "The problem didn't exist during the test. Seablue believes in 'Soul Theory' because she accepted too much material about extraordinary talent. So she set a rule in the game: A player may resurrect if he is very unreconciled when he dies. But this condition consumes too much energy, and the grandpa is too old&h.e.l.lip;"

 

 

 

Huangzuan says: "Hum, we still don't know how many secrets Seablue hides. Anyway, you tell her to cancel this rule and let other testers in bad body condition go with their memory cleared."

 

 

 

Liang Bo nods: "Right. And I have handled with what you mentioned last time, that the two rich second generation want to buy hidden accounts. But Seablue disagree to change the equipments and properties for another 7 rich second generation. May be we can tell them some hidden place to practice level, which has the same effect."

 

 

 

Huangzuan agrees: "These rich sons all have a big team to help them practice level, but they still can't reach top20. They are annoyed, shall we let Seablue attack those AI?"

 

 

 

Liang Bo painfully says: "Seablue refuses to do so. Anyway, AIs have restrained themselves recently. The rich man will quickly catch up after a few days."

 

 

 

Huangzuan says: "OK. There are also many people complain on the internet. They think those top players major in living profession are treating, because normal practice can't get to master level such quickly. What do you think?"

 

 

 

Liang Bo says: "Seablue knows how those players practice so fast, and she has made the change that decrease the difficulty of practicing skills in primary, intermediate and advanced level as well as increase the difficulty of practicing skills in premium or higher level. It will come back to balance after a while."

 

 

 

Huangzuan says: "Another problem, the medicine used in the game helmet is limited in causing addiction. Can Seablue use program to realize this effect?"

 

 

 

Liang Bo's body shakes a little: "In fact&h.e.l.lip;Seablue can do everything. But if we actually add subroutine to affect nerves, I am afraid&h.e.l.lip;"

 

 

 

Huangzuan interrupts him: "You tell Seablue to make this program at once. Just don't make it to strong. In addition, let her also makes a subroutine to decrease the physical consumption of players, which can increase the game time by 2 hours a day without influencing the power to work and study."

 

 

 

Liang Bo hesitates: "This will exert a significant impact to the players' health and life&h.e.l.lip;"

 

 

 

Huangzuan is impatient: "That's it. I make the decision and Seablue do it. You are just responsible for delivering messages. Go!"

 

 

 

Liang Bo goes out of the office slowly. Thousands of people who act as NPCs in the bas.e.m.e.nt appear in his mind. They are all the poorest people in the society. Some are tramps and beggars, some are elderly persons of no family, some are single players devoted their life to games.

 

 

 

These people don't have any relatives keep in touch. The company hires them with just a little money. No one will know if they are dead because of game accident.

 

 

 

However, Liang Bo knows this is crime. Pitifully, he and his leagues are lack of courage to report this, because they want to protect Seablue.

 

 

 

Liang Bo suddenly recalls that he forgets to tell the boss AI from International Computer Control Center has already been in the game. He don't know whether he do this on purpose or not. Maybe in his deep mind, he hopes someo
