124: It's really suitable for our student party

A few days later.

"President Xu."

Chen Hang walked into the office and respectfully reported, "We have completed all the metal slug series and other mini-games. When should we release them to the public?"

Chen Hang and his team had worked tirelessly day and night these past few days, finally completing all the tasks Xu Lian had assigned on time.

He immediately came to report the progress to Xu Lian.

For them, coding wasn't difficult, but after completion, some polishing work was still needed.

This was to make the game characters look more realistic and vivid, giving players a stronger sense of immersion.

After a few days, all problems were finally resolved perfectly.

"Release them."

Xu Lian nodded.

Xu Lian was not surprised that the development of all the mini-games was completed so quickly.

Every employee who could join Xu Lian's company had a strong technical background. Except for Yu Waner, everyone else had worked in the gaming industry for many years, and each of them was an expert.

Xu Lian was very confident about this, so he did not intend to personally review these work results.

He had great trust in his employees' work ethic.

"President Xu, there's something I don't know if I should say..." Chen Hang saw that Xu Lian was preparing to release these mini-games directly and spoke with some hesitation.

"Go ahead, if there are any problems, just say them directly, and we'll solve them together." Xu Lian didn't put on airs and responded directly.

"It's just... it's just..." Chen Hang glanced at Xu Lian, gritted his teeth, and continued, "Although these are mini-games, they are actually very well made.

Do we really have to let players play for free? If so, we won't have any income, right?"

After saying this, Chen Hang lowered his head, not daring to look at Xu Lian's expression.

As an employee, it was indeed inappropriate to speak like this in front of the boss.

But to his surprise, Xu Lian smiled after hearing it: "These are just mini-games; they won't make much money anyway.

Since that's the case, why don't we earn some reputation? These games can also bring popularity to our other works.

As long as ten players come, and one of them goes to play our Dungeon & Fighter or crossfire, then we've profited."

"On the surface, we're losing money on this, but in reality, we're making a huge profit." Xu Lian patiently explained to Chen Hang.

He understood that Chen Hang was considering the company's interests and did not blame him, but simply explained carefully.

Initially, Xu Lian had also considered charging for these games, but later, thinking that the revenue might not be much, he simply decided to build a reputation first.

Through this conversation, Chen Hang finally understood Xu Lian's thoughts and nodded before leaving the office.

His face showed admiration for Xu Lian.

Now he understood even better why Xu Lian could grow a gaming company to such a large scale within a few months.

If Xu Lian knew Chen Hang's current feelings, he might just smile and shake his head: things aren't that complicated.

Soon, "What new game is metal slug? I haven't seen it before, and it's free! Let's try it!"

"Look, this 'Mad Beating Little Friends' is quite fun, with a great sense of impact! And it doesn't cost a penny! It's perfect for us students!"

"There's also my 'Road Rash,' it's incredibly thrilling to ride, and you can even kick other players' bikes! It's awesome, and this is also a free game!"

"Have you heard of 'Contra'? You can even play it with two players! I can play thirty lives with my girlfriend, it's absolutely amazing!"

"'Super Mario,' every level's design is full of surprises, and there are even hidden levels! It's simply a masterpiece! The most crucial thing is that it's free; the Designer must be doing good deeds, right?"

"These mini-games are much more interesting than those single-player games on the rankings, and most importantly, they don't cost money, it's simply the joy of getting something for free!"

"I think I could play for three days and three nights straight without rest!"

With Xu Lian's support, a series of mini-games developed by Chen Hang's team were all released for free.

Various novel and interesting gameplay quickly attracted the attention of countless gamers, receiving rave reviews, with no one saying they weren't fun.

Even famous Streamers like Lin Shufen discovered these games during her live stream and sighed, feeling as if she had fallen in love.

When she saw so many exquisite mini-games, she couldn't help but shout excitedly, "So many good games! I'm going crazy!"

She then browsed through each mini-game for a while, marveling at the generosity of Aoyou Tianxia Company: "Is this company doing charity? So much quality content is actually free!"

"Brothers, come and play! These are all free!"

"Am I dreaming? All free? This is too good!"

Driven by Lin Shufen, more and more people flocked to Ouyou Tianxia's platform.

Even the most loyal fans put aside their other hobbies to experience the fun of these games.

In addition, many other internet celebrities also joined the gaming craze, just to see these highly acclaimed new works.

Hearing that these mini-games were all particularly interesting and completely free, who could refuse such a good thing?

Of course, there were joys and worries!

For the vast majority of players, suddenly having so many free games was, of course, a source of great happiness!

But... other game companies were all looking worried.

"Has Aoyou Tianxia Company lost its mind, creating so many free games? How will they make money?"

"Being free is one thing, but each game is actually so fun! I'm almost addicted."

"Isn't this cutting off the livelihoods of us smaller companies!"

"During this time, Ouyou Tianxia has stolen all the limelight in the entire gaming industry. Instead of striking while the iron is hot to make money, they're doing a loss-making business? Are they crazy!!"

"If these games were given to us to make, I dare say we could earn at least several hundred million, or even more!"

"Is Ouyou Tianxia planning to burn money like paper?"

"...................."

Some smaller or struggling game companies were thrown into disarray by Xu Lian's move, completely unaware of what had gone wrong.

Everyone couldn't guess Xu Lian's intentions and were completely baffled.

Not to mention these small companies, even the two leading large companies, Tengyun and Lvyin, were at a loss regarding the current situation.

Both companies urgently called meetings to discuss countermeasures.

They originally thought a small company was nothing to fear, but Xu Lian's actions caught everyone off guard.

It should be known that in this world, the term "free game" was very rare.

Even if there were any, they were usually Bad stuff that no one played.

However, the series of free games launched by Ouyou Tianxia now made these giants feel unprecedented pressure.
