383: Another fellow villager

After finishing the third and fourth periods at school, Ye Su didn't eat with his three roommates. Instead, he took Yu Haoyang and the other two to a private room in a restaurant he had booked in advance.

After the server finished serving the dishes, the four of them began to eat and chat.

"Are there any remaining issues on your end regarding game development and testing?"

"We have already optimized all the areas that needed optimization."

"In addition to user feedback, we also had our roommates and classmates play it to ensure there were no loopholes as much as possible."

"What about the stress testing for the server?"

"That's been done too. It's fine with tens of thousands of people online simultaneously. We also created a monitoring program that ensures we have enough time to increase server configuration before the server reaches its performance limit."

"Very good." After hearing the report from the three, Ye Su was very satisfied.

The drive of college students is just different from that of old hands who have been working for several years.

"How about the matter of finding streamers for promotion? How much have you learned about that?"

Before receiving Ye Su's investment, the three had already inquired about the costs of various promotions, so Ye Su naturally assigned these matters to Yu Haoyang and his two companions.

Compared to Yu Jinle, who was directly employed by Ye Su and only needed to look after the Secondhand Shop every day, Yu Haoyang and the others were practically treated like workhorses by Ye Su.

Relatively speaking, unlike Yu Jinle who received a direct salary, the three of them each held a 20% stake in Disc Game Studio, so they were essentially working for themselves now.

Therefore, they had no objections to Ye Su's approach.

Furthermore, in the eyes of the three, Ye Su could drive luxury cars and wear famous watches, so he must be doing big business in his daily life.

He must have invested in their small game out of consideration for them all being alumni.

Feeling grateful towards Ye Su, the three naturally felt embarrassed to ask Ye Su to be as fully committed to the game as they were.

"Our plan focuses on finding mid-tier streamers with fan counts between ten thousand and one hundred thousand, and having them integrate the game into their short videos."

"Additionally, we can contact some amateur account matrices for promotion. I've heard that for casual games, using this method for publicity also yields decent results."

"Finally, we will find a few influencers in the vertical gaming field to do live stream promotions. The costs for this will be relatively high. We have already selected some streamers, but we are still screening them based on their view counts, interaction rates, and conversion results."

It was evident that apart from game development, the three had also put a lot of effort into other aspects.

Just based on their work attitude, even if this game didn't take off, Ye Su would still want to continue working with them if other opportunities arose in the future.

"Alright." Ye Su gave the three his affirmation: "Just proceed with the promotions using the methods you just mentioned. Once finalized, send the account information and costs to the group chat."

"Chen Xinyi is also an influencer with over 200,000 followers. She will be more familiar than us with the industry's quotes and unspoken rules. We can ask her to help us check if we're being ripped off."

"Also, don't be too rigid about expenses. Although we agreed on an initial investment of 200,000 at the start."

"If the promotion is effective, it's fine if you spend a few hundred thousand more. I can advance the money, and once the game starts making money, you can just reimburse me from the public account."

"Okay!"

"We understand!"

The three were stirred with excitement upon hearing this.

They would hesitate for a long time before ordering takeout that cost a few dozen yuan.

Yet he didn't even blink when talking about spending hundreds of thousands more.

This angel investor they met was just too powerful!

Such a powerful alumnus must have a good eye for things too.

Seeing Ye Su so confident in Firing at Spectres, the three, who had originally felt unsure about the official launch of the Saturday game, now felt full of confidence as well.

Over lunch, while eating and chatting, the four of them also determined their respective subsequent tasks.

That was for Yu Haoyang, Gong Xiujie, and Duan Qianwei to handle the vast majority of the work, while Ye Su, as the financier, was only responsible for paying the bills.

Of course, besides paying, as the big boss, Ye Su also needed to provide a safety net for them and handle any problems they couldn't solve.

After finishing the meal, Ye Su sent the three back to school and spent some time with them at the entrepreneurship base.

Feeling that it was about time, and after instructing them to communicate in the group chat if they encountered any problems, Ye Su said goodbye to them.

After leaving the school, Ye Su went to the Secondhand Shop to inspect his only current property in Yangcheng.

The time he arrived was neither early nor late. When he entered the shop, Ye Su saw that there were no customers in the store at all.

However, apart from Yu Jinle who was watching the shop, there was another unfamiliar face in the shop, chatting with Yu Jinle. It was obvious she was her friend.

Not knowing what they were chatting about, Yu Jinle was laughing happily.

As a result, when she saw Ye Su push the door open and enter, Yu Jinle immediately put away her smile, stood up, and greeted Ye Su:

"Hello, boss."

"Alright, cut it out with that..."

Ye Su waved his hand to stop Yu Jinle's act of pretending to be serious.

Having been called out by Ye Su, Yu Jinle chuckled a couple of times and introduced Ye Su to the girl she was chatting with:

"This is my boss, Ye Su."

Then she introduced her friend to Ye Su:

"This is my college roommate, Jiang Lingling. She finishes her internship tomorrow and has to move out of the dormitory provided by the company. It just so happens that the place I'm renting has a spare room, so she wanted to come and see if the house is suitable so we can share the rent."

"For you girls out here, it's pretty good to have a friend you know to share a place with and look out for each other."

Ye Su smiled and nodded at Jiang Lingling: "Hello."

Jiang Lingling hurriedly responded: "Hello."

While greeting, Ye Su also took a quick glance at Jiang Lingling.

She was about 1.6 meters tall, with long, straight black hair and airy bangs.

Although not a great beauty, she was a pretty-looking girl.

Judging by her reserved manner when greeting, she should also be a girl who is on the introverted side.

After the two finished greeting each other, Yu Jinle remembered she had missed a point and hurriedly added to Ye Su: "Lingling is also from our hometown; she attended No. 4 High School."

"Haha." Encountering a fellow townsman, Ye Su felt a bit more cordial, and smiled at Jiang Lingling: "One of our own."

"Yes."

It was their first time meeting, and Jiang Lingling had an introverted personality; she wasn't like Ye Su or Yu Jinle who could get familiar with people wherever they went.

Facing Ye Su, she could only softly echo.

Seeing that Jiang Lingling was socially anxious, Ye Su could only take the initiative to start a conversation:

"So, how did you find the house? Are you planning to go see it now?"

"We looked at it at noon. We think the house is fine, and the contract has already been signed with the landlord. After I finish work tonight, I'll go with her to the dormitory to move."

"You don't get off work until seven. Won't it be very late by the time you finish moving?"

"There's no other way. After she resigns tomorrow, she has to vacate the dormitory. We can only take the opportunity to pack everything this afternoon and move the luggage tonight."

"I see..." Ye Su pondered for a moment.
