Chapter 68: Chapter 67: Ga is Now Live!
Wen Lingwei stared at her best cards, not wanting to depart with them.
“I just thought of sothing. Should we spend money on this ga when we are officially testing the ga?”
Jia Peng grinned, “Huh? Spend money on the ga? I can’t even draw good cards using the resources that were given out for free. Spending my own money would be the sa as pouring it down the drain.”
Wen Lingwei rolled her eyes, “The unlucky star showing off his skills again.”
Chang Xiuya said, “Spend money? Uh, don’t think I’ll be able to keep up. Millions of RMB co and go just like that in this ga. How much would we need to spend to reach this level when the ga is officially released?”
Wen Lingwei shook her head, “I’m not talking about playing up to this level. Look, no matter if you spend one RMB, ten RMB or a hundred RMB, you’ll receive your respective VIP levels as well as other top-up bonuses, and you would imdiately have an advantage over players who don’t spend any money.”
Chang Xiuya nodded as if she understood, “Mm, so you’re saying that we spend less, maybe around a hundred? That still feels a bit... expensive.”
Wen Lingwei said, “But if you think about it, more than half the players might never spend any money. If you spend a hundred RMB, you should be stronger than the majority of the players right? Think about the arena ranking bonuses, as well as receiving dungeon rewards earlier, among other things”
Chang Xiuya nodded, “Yeah, seems like... we would be slightly better than others.”
Wen Lingwei said, “Right? No matter what we should spend a small amount of money. This ga is free to play anyways, spending ten RMB on it doesn’t seem like a huge cost anyways.”
Wen Lingwei started to investigate how much money she should spend in order to get the best value for money in terms of benefits.
Chen Mo said, “Just saying, you drawing a card for is enough to buy an Elder Sister card.”
Wen Lingwei rolled her eyes again, “What are you trying to say? Are you still thinking about how much I charge for artwork? There’s nothing to discuss in that departnt!”
Chen Mo laughed.
The thing he was most worried about wasn’t the popularity of the animation, nor the amount of players, but if the players weren’t willing to fork out money.
After all, it was difficult to manipulate the willingness of the players to spend money. If the majority of players weren’t willing to fork out money to spend in ga, and if there weren’t enough whales, spending money in ga wouldn’t provide too much excitent either. This would cause the monthly inco of the ga to remain low.
However, after noticing Wen Lingwei’s reaction, Chen Mo gained confidence in the ga’s ability to rake in money.
Once the majority of players get a taste of the thrill of spending money in ga, they would struggle to stop themselves from spending a second ti. And the players who weren’t willing to spend money would feel more inclined to spend money for the first ti.
As long as there are enough of these two types of players, the profitability of the ga was more or less guaranteed.

As the release date approached, the advertisents for Guardian of the Holy Spring were being advertised more and more by Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt.
The advertisents weren’t exactly everywhere, only present on a few key advertisent spaces on the Emperor Dynasty gaming platform. They also arranged for a few video ga dia to announce the ga and wrote a few advertorials.
After all, it was only a mobile ga. As Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt had a rough estimate of how profitable the ga could be, there was no way they would spend all their resources on advertising it, as it costs money to put the ga out there.
Even the promoted spaces on the Emperor Dynasty gaming platform weren’t exactly free. If the space was given to another better ga, they would be able to profit more from it, which in a way would be money lost.
Therefore, Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt couldn’t put down everything and give Guardian of the Holy spring all of its resources, and would only give it so of the better ones.
However, in the eyes of the higher ups in Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt, a few adverts like these was enough to compete with a nobody videoga designer such as Chen Mo.
Qiu Bin also had an idea of what Chen Mo was planning, likely using the animation to hype up the ga, giving it publicity by proxy.
However, Qiu Bin was comforted by the fart that the animated series haven’t gained so much traction to beco a tier one phenona. Moreover, if Chen Mo’s ga was a one ti pay ga, the conversion rate from viewer to player wouldn’t be high.
Moreover, could Chen Mo’s ga recreate the expansiveness depicted in the series? Qiu Bin had his doubts. If Chen Mo didn’t do the ga justice, the ratings would drop, which would directly affect the sales.
No matter which train of thought he followed, Qiu Bin felt that Chen Mo had no outs.
“Whatever, it doesn’t matter. We’ll just have to wait until the gas go live!”
Qiu Bin did a once over on the contents of Guardian of the Holy Spring, and uploaded it to the official app store.
——
I Am MT and Guardian of the Holy Spring were now live on the app store at the sa ti!
Many gars had their eyes on these two gas ever since the bet. After simring for four months, the mont of truth finally arrived!
Other than being released on the official app store, Guardian of the Holy Spring was also released on the Emperor Dynasty gaming platform. Just using the platform as well as Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt’s huge distribution, the sales in the first day skyrocketed!
Guardian of the Holy Spring were priced the sa as Plants vs Zombies, at ten RMB. Qiu Bin didn’t dare to set the price too high, mainly because Guardian of the Holy Spring didn’t have massive changes from Plants vs Zombies, and if the price was set at twenty, it might cause the number of sales to drop drastically, affecting the monthly inco.
Soon, the sales of Guardian of the Holy Spring was released, quoted at one thousands two hundred and ninety!
Qiu Bin breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this number.
Qiu Bin’s assistance also had their eyes on this number alongside Qiu Bin. They couldn’t help but smile after seeing that number, “Not a bad result, congratulations!”
Qiu Bin had a smile on his face, but still didn’t dare to step out of line, “Don’t let yourself go so soon. Have you downloaded Chen Mo’s new ga? Let see.”
The assistant replied, “Not yet. I’ll do that now.”
Qiu Bin waved his hand in dismissal, “Don’t worry about it. I’ll do it myself.”
Qiu Bin launched the appstore and searched for Chen Mo’s new ga.
The assistant said, “Don’t worry too much, you’ll still be able to show your face in Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt with a result like this. This number was almost double what Plants vs Zombies achieved when it first ca out.”
Qiu Bin nodded, “Of course, but this still isn’t a confird victory.”
The assistant laughed, “Still isn’t a confird victory? You’re too humble. Even if Chen Mo was given a miracle, his monthly inco wouldn’t even co close to this level!”
Just the first hour sales have already exceeded Qiu Bin’s expectations.
If this ga was able to double Plants vs Zombies, then it should be possible to sell around a million copies, aning more than ten million in inco.
(Inco aning the gross inco generated by that user, before the cuts are taken.)
A ga would be considered amazingly popular with tens of millions in inco, and climbing on to various leaderboards were only a matter of ti, it might even stand a chance at the total sales leaderboards.
