Chapter 300 Bao Xu, You will be the Gaming Leader from Now On!
October 23rd…
The English and Japanese versions of Repent and be Saved were officially released!
At once, Hao Shuaiqi downloaded the English version of the ga and live-stread himself restarting it on the increasingly popular live-streaming platform, Link Live.
However, this ti, he did not take the ordinary route through the ga. Instead, he went for speed.
Ever since Hao Shuaiqi started live-streaming the ga a long ti ago, he had been getting an increasing number of subscribers. At the mont, he had already reached over a hundred thousand. One could say that he was quite a famous UP Master on the up-and-coming live-streaming platform, Link Live.
Every day, soone would ask during his live-stream, “When is the English version of this ga going to be released?”
Hao Shuaiqi’s videos of Repent and be Saved, which he posted on Aili Island, had beco extrely popular as well. Foreigners’ comnts on Hao Shuaiqi’s live-streams had also beco the topic of conversation among locals.
Now that the English version of Repent and be Saved was finally out, Hao Shuaiqi naturally grabbed the opportunity to broadly advertise it to his viewers.
The viewers of his live-stream were over the moon.
“I’ve been watching the live-stream of this ga, it looks extrely challenging! Thank you, UP Master, for introducing us to such a fun ga!”
“This is great! There’s an English version at last! You can only imagine how much I’ve endured while trying to play the Mandarin version.”
“I have to say that this ga’s English version is really not bad. I took a quick look at it. The important parts were translated very appropriately and accurately. It brings out the aning of the original ga very nicely as well. The developer is kind indeed; they pay so much attention to the details. I’ll give it a good rating!”
“I was never interested in traditional Chinese culture, but this ga has got
hooked!”
“The UP Master has completed the ga several tis already. I don’t think this ga will be a problem for !”
Many players were also posting good reviews about the ga on the official platform’s overseas channels and various overseas forums and websites.
It looked like the foreign versions of Repent and be Saved were doing well!
Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd…
Li Yada had been keeping an eye on the foreign websites’ figures. The more she observed, the more emotional she beca.
“I did not expect the foreign websites’ figures to be even better than the local ones. Boss Pei is aweso!”
Li Yada was utterly impressed.
The official platform had helped Tengda produce Repent and be Saved in multiple foreign languages. Even though the translations were top-quality, Li Yada could not be a hundred percent certain that the ga would catch on overseas.
The reason was simple—the cultural gap was too wide!
The local gas market was worlds apart from the overseas gas market. Many gas that were popular in China failed overseas. No matter how hard other developers tried to market their gas, it almost always proved useless.
On the other hand, gas that were completely unheard of in China beca extrely popular overseas.
Thus, developers who focused especially on the overseas market began erging in China. They worked hard to understand foreign gars’ interests and were put in charge of acclimatizing local gas to overseas culture. In fact, this line of work was quite profitable.
The ‘acclimatization’ process covered style, gaplay, the ga’s details, marketing techniques, and other aspects. It involved a holistic alteration of the local ga’s design so that it could suit the tastes of foreign gars.
Sotis, in order to achieve greater success, developers would change the entire setting of the ga and adopt a Western style that would look more pleasing to the foreigner’s eye.
Thus, it was extrely rare for the exact sa ga to be popular both locally and overseas.
Gas that could achieve this would undoubtedly beco the pillar and money tree of any gas company.
This was also why Li Yada was incredibly surprised that Repent and be Saved could achieve such success overseas.
“Frankly, I did not expect Repent and be Saved to be so popular overseas.
“The entire ga is based on traditional Chinese culture. It included elents that only local players would resonate with, such as the Bridge of Forgetfulness, the Three-Life Stone, ngpo, and the like. These things would an nothing to foreigners. “Yet, foreigners seem to like this ga a lot. It’s obvious how successful this ga is.
“This is all thanks to Boss Pei’s hard work!”
Thinking about the hard work that Boss Pei had put into the ga filled Li Yada with respect.
“First of all, the ga’s design…
“Repent and be Saved is a hardcore, action-based ga that appeals to foreigners. Boss Pei risked local gars being turned away and made the ga extrely difficult. Did he plan for this ga to be released in the overseas market from the very beginning? “Second, the advertising thod… “Many foreign UP Masters live-stread Repent and be Saved on Link Live with a dictionary next to them at all tis. This allowed the ga to gain popularity overseas and beco a common topic of discussion among all gars. “The chances of foreign UP Masters recomnding any local ga of their own accord were low. However, this was dependent on the ga itself. “Given how outstanding Repent and be Saved was, it would have been discovered and recomnded by other foreign UP Masters, even if not Hao Shuaiqi. “Last of all, Boss Pei told
not to rush into producing the ga in other languages. “On one hand, we had to patiently wait for the ga to gain popularity among foreigners. On the other hand, we had to give the translators more ti to bring out the ga’s aning and culture accurately and beautifully.
“All of these factors contributed to Repent and be Saved’s success overseas!
“Perhaps this is what people an when they say ‘a general planning in the seclusion of his tent can determine a distant battle’s outco’. Boss Pei had thought about every single thing; his plan was perfect!
“It looks like there’s a lot more for
to learn!”
Li Yada could not help but feel emotional.
Just as she was overwheld with emotion, Pei Qian arrived at the office.
Li Yada quickly stood up. “Boss Pei, the foreign versions of Repent and be Saved are
Pei Qian’s expression darkened as he quickly raised his hand to stop her. “There’s no need to tell .”
Li Yada nodded at once. “Ah, alright, Boss Pei.”
Indeed, Boss Pei had expected this. There was no need for her to report the good news now.
no
Pei Qian felt speechless.
Sigh, I’m receiving bad news first thing in the morning!
“Boss Pei, the project team doesn’t have anything to do now. We’re only fixing minor bugs. I’m planning to get them to work on improvents to the ga or new downloadable content. What do you think?”
“Downloadable content? No!” Pei Qian was shocked. He quickly put an end to this dangerous thought process.
Pei Qian turned to look at Li Yada seriously and said, “Everyone has already been working so hard. Why aren’t you all taking a break?
“The employees are Tengda’s greatest asset. You cannot overwork! What’s more, constantly generating output and not accepting input would impede your creativity. “As ga designers, you have to play more gas in order to expose yourselves to different materials. Only then would you be able to create gas that would impress gars, understand?
“Tell everyone not to do anything this week. Er… ask Bao Xu to bring everyone out to play online gas.
“Bao Xu, you will be the Gaming Leader from now on. You’ll be in charge of bringing everyone to play gas!
“Co up with a plan and give everyone a task. I don’t care what gas you play; everyone has to play for at least forty hours this week. If they don’t play for long enough, I’ll hold you accountable!”
Bao Xu, who had been lowering his head as far as possible and trying to blend into the background, suddenly jumped.
F*ck! My head is already almost touching the monitor! Why is Boss Pei still assigning work to ?!
Bao Xu quickly stood up. “Alright, Boss Pei.”
Pei Qian stomped into his own office.
Everyone looked at one another, at a loss as to what to do. Then, they turned to look at Bao Xu.
Bao Xu was speechless. He shrugged and asked, “What are you looking at
for? Quick, get moving… don’t make my job difficult.”
Everyone looked at one another once again and then quickly put down the work that they had been doing. At once, they began to play gas.
Back in his office, Pei Qian was using his sub-par English to read the comnts on the English version of Repent and be Saved. He sighed.
Ai, I already expected this outco before the English version was produced, but… I was helpless!
Pei Qian had thought that the cultural gap would have stopped ninety percent of foreign gars from playing the ga. Yet, now, he realized he had been too positive.
He had not expected foreigners to put themselves through so much torture just to suffer in a ga. What’s more, they had made so many Chinese UP Masters popular while they were at it!
On seeing how well-received the ga was both locally and overseas, the official platform had decided to translate the ga into other languages. That was how everything developed so smoothly.
“Forget it, I’ll leave it to fate.”
There was nothing Pei Qian could do about this anymore.
Now, it was ti to sharpen his weapons just before the battle. He looked through all the activities planned for 1024 Digital Day.
Pei Qian watched so shows in the afternoon and then took a nap as he waited for the farewell al he had planned for Chief Editor Xia and his team.
In the evening, one each of Tengda’s seven-seater cars and ordinary cars arrived at Ming Yun Private Kitchen.
Xia Jiang alighted from the car, looking pale and unwell.
The people behind her looked unwell, too. One of the burly n in the cara crew was walking unsteadily. He looked quite weak as if he had just vomited.
It was obvious that most of them were not adjusting well to extre activities.
Just thinking about the morable experience she had at Jingzhou’s amusent park, Xin Tiandi, made Xia Jiang feel uncomfortable.
The rollercoasters, drop towers, pendulum rides, and the haunted house…
Xia Jiang had no idea how she endured them all. Even now, her legs felt weak.
Pei Qian was already waiting for them at the entrance of Ming Yun Private Kitchen. When he saw how downcast all of them looked, he could not help but smile with joy from the heart.
Hehe, a point back to Tengda!
I’ll see if you dare to stab
in the back again!
Satisfied, Pei Qian began to wonder if the official platform would send any more people over, now that he had driven all of these reporters crazy from soup to nuts.
“How are you, Chief Editor Xia? Did you all have a good ti today?” Pei Qian displayed a warm, genuine smile.
Xia Jiang forced a smile and answered, “Yes…”
Pei Qian nodded, pleased. “That’s great! Have a good al and sleep well tonight. I’ve arranged for all of you to go skydiving tomorrow. It’ll be very fun; you can’t miss it!”
Xia Jiang was speechless.
The next afternoon…
The staff arrived at the hotel which Xia Jiang and her team were staying at. All they could find in their rooms was a trophy, a certificate, and a hundred thousand yuan left behind for Boss Pei.
Beside the trophy was a letter.
“Boss Pei…
“Thank you for hosting us so well during this period. We’ve had an unforgettable experience in Jingzhou!
“We have a lot of work to do. Our leader has just assigned another interview to us. We have to go back as soon as possible. Boss Pei, we know that you’re extrely busy, and we’re genuinely sorry that we did not get the chance to say a proper farewell.
“Don’t worry, Boss Pei. We will make sure we produce a good write-up of your interview! May we have opportunities to work together again in the future!”
