Chapter 152 Boss Pei Cuts Off an Infected Limb to Save the Entire Body

Wang Xiaobin paused. “Open the new server?”

It was not troubleso to do that, but the only problem was there might not be any gars in it. Bloody Battle Song was already steadily deteriorating. They had no money to publicize or market it, and there were no ratings for the ga as well. No new gars were logging in.

The people still playing the ga were old gars who had stuck with the ga from the very beginning. They could be said to be fiercely loyal; nothing could drive them away.

All of these people had accounts on the old servers. They had already spent huge amounts of money and ti on those accounts. Even if they opened the new server, who would play on it?

Still, Wang Xiaobin held up an okay-sign with his hand and said, “No problem. It’ll be ready soon.”

The ga was going to fail sooner or later; whether they opened the new server or not, it would not make a difference.

Ye Zhizhou imdiately created an alternate account in the new server and quietly waited.

A few minutes later, the world channel in the new server beca lively!

“They’ve really opened a new server!”

“Ah, ah, ah! I’m so sad that I did not get the couch!”

“Are there any guilds?”

“Comrades, look here! Our guild is developing harmoniously. We’re banding together and being led by whales. There is no battle we cannot win! We’re going to specially offer help to grandfathers and grandmothers prone to falling down. We welco you to join us so that we can help more grandmothers cross roads!”

“The previous comnter, you’ve just copied and pasted the advertisent, haven’t you? There are no more whales now; how can they lead the guild?”

“How are there no more whales? Our guild’s whales have spoken; whoever joins our guild will get the maximum number of strength potions every day!”

“Holy sh*t! Quickly add !”

More world channels were being added, one by one. Ye Zhizhou could not keep up with the various channels.

“Our ga… still has so many players?”

Ye Zhizhou was stunned. He only opened this new server to test waters after seeing a good number of people request for it in the previous channel. He did not expect that so many people would hop over to the new server to play the ga!

What were they after? Did they want to abandon their old accounts?

Ye Zhizhou felt like everything was strange. He had not seen such passion for their ga in a long ti. Bloody Battle Song always opened new servers before this. After all, constantly opening new servers was a common marketing thod for gas with paywalls.

Yet, they had never seen a reaction as lively as what they were seeing today!

As Ye Zhizhou trained, he considered looking for a guild to hide in and spy. He wanted to ask the players for their opinions on the new ga.

In the end, after playing for a while, his ga got jamd. On the screen, the words ‘reading resources’ appeared. The image beca a mosaic as well. However, this soon passed. The ga quickly beca smooth again.

Ye Zhizhou was just about to ask what just happened when he heard Wang Xiaobin shout, “Holy sh*t, there were too many gars just then. Our server was overloaded. The new server is full?”

Ye Zhizhou quickly opened the platform to check.

The old servers that they had been maintaining were emptying out. There was practically nobody left. The new server, on the other hand, was so popular that it was exploding at that mont. It was overflowing!

New players could no longer enter the server. They had no choice but to wait outside.

Ye Zhizhou was shocked. Ever since he started at Shang Yang Gas, he had not seen people queuing outside the server! Now, he finally understood that the players crowding in the new server were those from old servers!

The players had been distributed over tens of different servers before this. That was why each server looked empty and quiet.

However, now, the active players were all rushing into the new server at the sa ti. They were crowding together and making the entire ga seem much livelier.

Ye Zhizhou quickly said, “Brother Wang, quick, open another server!”

Wang Xiaobin’s mouse was moving at top speed. “I’ll get it done at once. Once the newest servers are full, the system would automatically open a new one.”

Lowering his voice, he mumbled to himself, “How strange. Gars are becoming so excited about the new servers? Have the changes we made really taken effect? The results were instant.”

Everyone in the design team was getting excited. Many people had not played Bloody Battle Song in a long ti. At that mont, they created an alternate account for the first ti.

“Go to different servers and observe the situation in each one of them. It’ll be best if you could join a big guild and join their conversations. See how the whales and ordinary gars are reacting to the changes we made to the ga!”

Ye Zhizhou was extrely excited. He quickly gave each person in the design team tasks to hide in the new servers and observe how gars were reacting to the new version of the ga!

When Old Liu was still the chief planner, he never did things like this. That was because he had never seen the aning behind it.

It was enough to keep an eye on the statistics of the gas. What was the point in hiding among gars and gathering feedback?

However, Ye Zhizhou thought differently.

He always thought that as a chief planner, one had to try out his own ga, be among the players, and understand the reaction on the ground. If the designer himself did not like his own ga, why would gars like it?

After playing for a few minutes, people began to invite Ye Zhizhou into their guild. Then, they invited him into their conversations. Once he joined the group, he was bombarded by various ssages.

“Hurry, go to the world channel and recruit people!”

“I have to get to level twenty today. Our guild will have to prepare for war sooner or later!”

“Do you all have friends who have stopped playing the ga? Ask them to co back quickly!”

“I’m going to my old group to ask around now. I’ll try to get ten more people here. They’re all old gars and old chauffeurs!”

Ye Zhizhou only turned away for a while before he had 99 unread ssages. There was no ti for him to read them all.

What shocked Ye Zhizhou even more was that this group of people was taking the initiative to pull back their friends who stopped playing the ga a long ti ago.

Ye Zhizhou had never seen passion like this in any other gar. Even when he just joined Shang Yang Gas and Bloody Battle Song was at its peak, he did not witness this!

Ye Zhizhou looked at the posts on the forum.

Back when Old Liu introduced the 888-weapon, the forums nearly exploded with criticism. People were spamming the official notices with curses until there were hundreds of pages of comnts. For the two to three weeks that followed, people did not stop.

Later on, as they lost players, the forum slowly settled down as well. Still, most of the new posts there were people criticizing the officials.

However, after updating the ga this ti, the entire forum looked very different!

Before, people posted curses at the chief planner every day. Now, there was none to be seen. Players were discussing how to form guilds, prepare for wars, and trying to solve other problems in the ga.

Ye Zhizhou read these posts and the conversations in his guild in disbelief. He started to think hard about how all of these happened.

“Could it be… a resurrection?” Ye Zhizhou finally understood.

The original Bloody Battle Song was a pool of still water. In order to maintain the business, Old Liu and Du Ruijie had tried all ways and ans to salvage the situation, but the ga was beyond cure.

Conflicts between gars and the design team, as well as whales and ordinary players, had already reached their extres. There was no way these conflicts could be dealt with.

Later on, due to the high paywalls, they lost huge groups of ordinary gars. There was no way the remaining players could continue their group activities within the ga. No matter how much whales paid if there was nobody to play the ga with them, the money would not seem worth it.

Thus, ordinary players left, and whales followed. Only a small group of old players hung on. The ga continued to slip down the slippery slope.

However, now, all the purchase options had been taken away. Only the basic strength potion remained.

This unassuming change was life-changing for the environnt of the ga!

To ordinary gars—without many paywalls in the ga, they could now afford to play it. The items that they could only get if they paid actual money before were now being given out for free. In the new server, they now had the opportunity to experience what it used to be like for whales that could fight multiple enemies at once.

This was a great deal. Naturally, they ca to the new server without any hesitation! Indeed, a significant number of whales left the ga as well. However, as Pei Qian would put it, it was up to them!

What’s more, not all the whales had left. There was still a group of them left.

Although their sales dropped by twenty to thirty percent, the remaining players had completely forgotten about their conflicts from before. Now, they were feeling the passion and excitent for the ga all over again!

Ye Zhizhou finally understood.

“Indeed, Boss Pei could tell what the problem was with Bloody Battle Song. He knew that introducing new gaplay or improving the art resources would be useless. That was why he made us take away all but one purchase?option!”

“This is… cutting off an infected limb to save the entire body! We cut off revenue to save our reputation. That’s the only way to save Bloody Battle Song!”

It looked like an unsolvable problem at first, but just a single move by Boss Pei turned the entire situation around!

Ye Zhizhou could not help but feel deep respect and admiration for Boss Pei. Of course, he also knew that this was only the first of many steps. This action might have saved the ga’s reputation, but it ca at a high cost: this ga was no longer making much money!

Without the whales recharging their ga currencies, their inco had fallen to just eighty percent.

Bloody Battle Song’s monthly inco had been about three to four hundred thousand yuan before the changes were made. Now, after the changes, Ye Zhizhou was not sure if they would even earn eighty thousand yuan monthly.

What’s more, they were not going to introduce any new purchase options in the future. Otherwise, the players would imdiately start cursing the ga once again. Then, they would all quit the ga, and even Boss Pei would find it difficult to salvage the situation!

Ye Zhizhou felt like he was holding a clearance sale. Although life was injected back into the ga, they could not go on burning money and not reaping profits in the long-term!

“Forget it. I’ll cast these worries aside for now. Would Boss Pei not have thought about the problems I thought about? These must all be in Boss Pei’s plan. As long as I obediently follow his instructions, we will be alright.”

Ye Zhizhou suddenly beca filled with confidence in himself and in the future of Shang Yang Gas!
