Ke Jin sat in his office pondering a problem.

The last mission for “Skyline,” though a failure, brought in an unexpected revenue stream that provided so solace for his fragile soul.

A great deal of traffic was brought in by a wave of recomndations on the official Weibo account, coupled with an influx of tycoons.

As a result, “Skyline’s” first-month sales projection might just exceed ten million.

The company’s initial capital seed secured.

After so thought,

he called Gou Chehua into the office.

He took out the “League of Legends” project plan which had been stored in the system’s inventory until now.

This ga, with its enormous setting and complex data,

needed to be moved up the production schedule as soon as possible, whether or not he could unlock the ultimate mission.

Of course, the project plan in his hands,

was but a very small part of the overall plan—a detailed developnt plan for a single hero.

With over 200 heroes, they would have to proceed one by one, slowly.

“Huazi, I need you to allocate so people to start preparing for a new ga,” he instructed.

“You have plans for a new ga already?” Gou Chehua was taken aback, and then pleased.

He had allied himself with the right person!

His boss was nothing short of a genius in the industry, with one wave of inspiration after another, endlessly.

“Boss, what kind of ga is this?”

“A large multiplayer online ga. I expect the developnt to take two to three years, so let’s start preparations early. Just allocate a small group of employees; the rest of the main force still has to work on the official new ga.” Ke Jin could only explain in simple terms familiar on Blue Star, since whether saying moba or like Dota, Gou Chehua wouldn’t understand.

“Is it similar to ‘Bug Tribe Legend’?” Gou Chehua asked again.

Ke Jin had heard the na ‘Bug Tribe Legend’ countless tis from those around him lately.

Upon researching earlier, he learned that it was a multiplayer online ga similar to “Warcraft” on Earth and also one of the top ten hottest gas dostically.

However, its gaplay was not quite like “Warcraft.”

Players ran all over the map digging for treasure.

Most of the treasure chests they unearthed contained bug gachapons.

These gachapons required a fee to open, and the bugs they released would join the player’s team, following the player to randomly encounter wild monsters, fighting them to level up the bugs.

The fighting mode was turn-based.

Rather than saying it was like “Warcraft,” it was more like a combination of “Warcraft” and “Fantasy Westward Journey.”

The ga’s gachapons were divided into five grades—’white, blue, purple, gold, orange’—with the highest grade, orange, costing 888 yuan for just one spin.

Moreover, there was only a 30% chance to randomly get a bug of white, blue, purple, or gold grade, instead of an orange one.

Even if an orange bug did appear, it might be just a fragnt or a weaker bug.

This absurd pricing standard, in Ke Jin’s view, had an astonishing ability to rake in money on Blue Star, with daily revenues exceeding a hundred million yuan.

“It’s different from that one,” Ke Jin waved his hand. “It’s a combat mode ga.”

“Combat? Like ‘Royal Duel’?”

That ga was also in the top hundred, a fighting ga which Ke Jin had played before.

But the sense of impact was terribly bad. Forget comparing it to classic IPs like “Devil May Cry” or “Monster Hunter” from his previous life, it wasn’t even on par with sothing like “King of Fighters.” Its popularity hinged entirely on huge marketing spends by its company every month.

“No, it’s 5v5 combat. Ten people fight on a single map. It can be considered an action ga, but there isn’t much action, each character has four skills and one passive ability.” Since it was still too early to officially develop LOL, he gave just a simple description.

But this left Gou Chehua utterly stunned.

“Ten people… fighting on one map? And each person has four skills and a passive?” Gou Chehua’s eyes widened as he struggled to imagine what such a scene would look like.

“Mr. Ke, won’t it be very chaotic? ‘Royal Duel’ next door only has two skills plus normal attacks for 1v1 side-scrolling combat, and many players already complain about the difficulty, repeatedly asking designers to lower it…”

“None of that matters. Just do as I tell you to do, and once it’s made, it’ll definitely sweep the globe,” Ke Jin smiled casually, then pushed the project plan across to Gou Chehua.

“Here’s the project plan. You check it out and arrange it.”

Sweep the globe?

Us?

Gou Chehua took the project plan, puzzled.

Isn’t Mr. Ke’s pie in the sky a bit too big, and he’s not even offering us a glass of water to wash it down with…

And wasn’t this project plan a bit too thin?

The plan for “Skyline,” a ga that was not particularly huge, had a hefty hundred pages.

However, the large-scale multiplayer combat ga described by Mr. Ke sounded imnse.

So why was the project plan only a slim dozen pages?

Yet, as soon as he flipped through the plan,

he was struck as if by lightning, and froze on the spot.

This…

This is a plan for a single character!

The docunt is covered in detail about this ga character’s settings, modeling, skills, stats, lines, and even the requirents for the voice acting—it’s as ticulous as the last one.

Especially a few lines of character dialogue, they are written so brilliantly! Just one look and it feels like your pupils are shaking from an earthquake!

Mr. Ke isn’t joking?

He ca prepared!

And what’s more outrageous to Gou Chehua is.

That at the very start of this proposal, nad “League of Legends,” is a line that boldly states:

Estimated 200 heroes in the whole ga.

One character, a dozen pages.

200 heroes!

Just the planning alone would take up thousands of pages?

Moreover, the proposal demands each character’s individuality and distinction to be made, to ensure that when the ‘character preview PV’ is released, it gives the players enough morable points.

Shit!!

Right there, Gou Chehua was stunned.

This motherf…

Boss, I’ve never seen such a huge scene before!

I can’t even imagine what that would look like, how am I supposed to plan this…

Forget about , I bet ga planners around the world haven’t seen such a scene…

“Ke… Mr. Ke, what was that you said earlier when I first ca in?” Gou Chehua swallowed hard.

“At the start?” Ke Jin thought for a mont, then said, “Next up, you’ll help prepare a new ga.”

Gou Chehua’s eyes widened with terror, and he pointed at his own nose, his voice nearly breaking.

“???”

They cald Gou Chehua a bit, telling him not to feel pressured, and to work on each character one by one slowly.

Since the planning phase is longer anyway.

Once Gou Chehua stabilized his emotions, Ke Jin asked again.

“By the way, Huazi, are there any particularly cold market ga genres out there right now? The kind that makes players want to abandon the ga at a glance, with no patience to continue playing?”

After the failure of “Skyline,” cursing wasn’t helping Ke Jin; he had to quickly recover and start preparing for the next ga.

The plan to block the top-up interface with ads had failed, so he had to find another way.

After much consideration, Ke Jin suddenly realized sothing.

Instead of wrangling with players over top-ups.

Why not step outside the norm and strike from a different angle?

Stand from a higher level and go for the dinsional strike on the players?

His current gas were all fresh and new on the market.

Players are excited just by looking at it, so why try to hinder their desire to spend money?

That in itself is a paradox.

So, change the approach.

If the gas he made fell into the very niche categories on Blue Star, or even leftover dishes that went out of style.

Even the dogs downstairs would disdain it with just a glance.

Players would want to uninstall it imdiately.

Even the tycoons, with their strong desire to consu, wouldn’t pay for a ga they don’t even play, right?

Yeah, this approach is the right way forward.

Damn it, got blindsided by the seduction of the ultimate quest.

Can’t believe I didn’t see such basic logic even before.

If I’d realized it earlier, I probably would have had three to five hit gas by now.

“A very niche, or even abandoning-at-first-glance type of ga?”

“Let think about it.” Although puzzled by the question Mr. Ke threw out, Gou Chehua still pondered seriously.
