24: Emotional value has arrived and the game has been updated!

"Boss!! Boss!!"

In the Magic City, Illusion Dream Game Studio.

Liu Meiqin, 1.5 meters tall, bounced into the office.

Her face was flushed.

She was extremely excited.

"The game! The game exploded!!!"

Liu Meiqin was out of breath, and her words were disjointed.

Jiang Feng sat in the boss's chair, taking a sip of tea.

"I already knew."

Jiang Feng appeared calm.

But one of his hands, hidden behind his back, trembled uncontrollably.

Just now, he had received a backend message.

"mystical world: the rise of the weak" had sold over ten thousand copies!

Good heavens, the first day wasn't even over yet.

Sales had already surpassed ten thousand?

Even considering the revenue share, their studio had already earned hundreds of thousands.

Earning hundreds of thousands in one day?

That was more efficient than robbing a bank!

What made Jiang Feng even more excited was this:

As the number of players continuously increased, a series of notifications kept ringing in his mind:

"Player feels very frustrated, raging in helplessness, emotion value +1."

"Player feels completely exhilarated, impatient, emotion value +1."

"Player feels..."

A continuous stream of emotion points flowed in!

As long as the game was released and players poured in, Jiang Feng would continuously gain emotion value, which he could then use to release more games.

A virtuous cycle, wasn't this it?

"Boss! What's our next step?!"

Liu Meiqin was overjoyed.

The capital she had invested, it seemed, was not only recovered but would also bring in some profit.

"Next step... Hmm, let's start with new content, update the game."

"Ah? Update so quickly?"

Liu Meiqin was stunned.

Thanks to AI's productivity, updates could be very fast as long as there was money.

However, the Ancient Style Game Development Competition had gathered countless players, and everyone was enjoying various games on the first day.

Any sensible developer would not choose to update on the first day.

The reason was simple: they needed to gather player feedback from the first day to determine which parts of the game were appealing and which were boring, then make adjustments and modifications in the next update.

A demo, after continuous updates, would eventually become a complete commercial game, selling hundreds of thousands or even millions of copies.

"No need to wait for player feedback anymore."

Jiang Feng smiled: "The content of our current demo is actually very limited. Although we've incorporated some Xuanhuan elements, it's still largely a traditional Wuxia framework, and too many resources were spent on the small town.

"I've also watched some streamers; many have started exploring the small town, playing it like a traditional Wuxia game.

"Right now, they still find the Xuanhuan World novel and won't abandon it, but if we don't update soon and they discover that the Xuanhuan is just a superficial layer, the problem will become very serious.

"Therefore, we must update immediately, absolutely not allowing players to remain stuck in the small town."

Liu Meiqin also had a sudden realization.

Indeed, the biggest selling point of their game was the unique worldview of the Xuanhuan World.

The problem was that this worldview was still superficial; many elements hadn't been fully developed.

There was no other way; Jiang Feng initially had too little emotion value. Being able to create a Qi Refining Cultivator to recruit disciples and allow players to experience their first adventure was already quite good.

Now it was different; he had more emotion value and could update.

After speaking with Liu Meiqin, Jiang Feng immediately used emotion value to update.

At the same time, on the other side, at Antarctic Studio.

The atmosphere was somewhat heavy; the employees didn't dare to breathe loudly.

Xue Sancha's expression darkened as he watched the sales gradually stagnate.

"Boss, we've investigated. The reason sales aren't continuing to rise is because players have been drawn away!"

"Jiang Feng's Xuanhuan World is truly novel; it immediately captured our target players."

"From the surveys, they don't have high hopes for the future of our turbulent times warrior, believing it can't compare to... the original work."

Listening to his subordinate's report,

Xue Sancha's expression grew worse.

But soon, he reined in his emotions.

After some thought, he said, "Update. We must update immediately. We'll throw money at it and update as quickly as possible."

His subordinate asked, puzzled, "What content should the first wave of updates include?"

Xue Sancha didn't answer but looked at the screen, which was playing a clip from "mystical world: the rise of the weak."

He watched for a long time before finally replying:

"The small town."

"That Jiang Feng, he does have some skill; he conceived of Cultivators."

"But ultimately, Cultivators are essentially superhumans, superhumans with stronger powers than Mortals."

"So, it's quite clear that what he wants players to experience next is the thrill of being superior to Mortals."

"Undoubtedly, the small town is an important stage. Players will use their power to rule the small town, becoming truly superior individuals. This should be his core gameplay."

"We must copy it too. We need to update quickly, refine the small town a bit, and add some NPCs. We need to make players enjoy imperial treatment in the small town."

Upon hearing this, his subordinate's eyes lit up.

Xue Sancha was indeed a seasoned designer; his observational skills were very strong.

Approximately a few hours later, the AI completed the update, and Antarctic Studio prepared to release it.

At this moment, Xue Sancha called out again: "Promote it again, emphasize that this update will bring an unprecedented gaming experience. Promote it in the direction of 'Extraordinary power, extraordinary experience.'"

His subordinate obeyed and left.

Soon, promotional slogans appeared on various websites, pervasive and even reaching the Weibo hot search.

"Hot Search 19: Extraordinary power, extraordinary experience!"

Xue Sancha's lips curved upward.

Heh heh, Jiang Feng, even if you have skill, what of it?

Won't I still see through your thoughts and directly copy you?

Hmph hmph hmph ~

Xue Sancha hummed a tune happily.

Suddenly, his expression froze.

Because another hot search suddenly appeared on Weibo:

"Hot Search 18: Extraordinary power brings extraordinary experience? You are just a part of someone else's experience!"

The new hot search shot up, directly above the previous one.

"Boss, this is bad, this is bad! Jiang Feng also updated! And, the updated content..."

His subordinate rushed into the office in a panic.

Xue Sancha's expression completely froze.

On the other side.

Midnight Gao Sou's live stream.

"Brothers! The game finally updated!"

Midnight Gao Sou was incredibly excited.

In the past few hours, he had dealt with the Senior Brother, punishing him with solitary confinement.

Then he used the extreme speed of a Qi Refining Cultivator to tour the small town.

Just as he was starting to feel a bit bored, the game finally updated!

"I have to say, although Huan Meng is a small studio, they really have ideas.

"The first wave of money they earned probably hasn't even arrived yet, and they've already used it for an update.

"Just for this attitude, no matter what they update, I won't curse... 'Damn it, Jiang Feng, are you even human?!'"

Midnight Gao Sou's eyes suddenly widened when he saw the update content.
