As for Seaside Mansion, it didn't cause too much of a stir. It had a high number of downloads, since it was a free game, but the response was average.
For the players who bought Uncharted Waters, this setting was just a stand-alone final chapter that could be played over and over again, but that was all there was to it.
There were some interactive ways to play, such as interacting with the dog, feeding it, walking it, and trimming its fur. It was all very realistic, but it was still a novelty.
Many people still had a bunch of VR games waiting to be played. Who had the time to feed their dog in a seaside mansion?
Moreover, there were all sorts of themes in VR games. There were medieval castles, futuristic spaceships, and while mansions were very attractive compared to the units in real life, they paled in comparison to the buildings in the game.
Therefore, many players only treated it as a bonus, and didn't pay much attention to it.
Some players even teased, "Chen Mo is so nice, getting a seaside mansion for 2888 yuan!"
There was also a small group of players who liked the seaside mansion, and used it as a comfort mode in the VR pod, but they were in the minority.
But no matter what, the theme of "Mysterious Sea Area" and "Seaside Mansion" gave "Mysterious Sea Area" another wave of popularity.
Just as Lost Treasure was about to be released, Uncharted Waters jumped out at the right time and gave it a hard time.
The remaining popularity of "Lost Treasure" also disappeared along with the hot sales of the "Mysterious Sea Area" theme …
…
Chen Mo was resting on the sofa in the experience store when Li Jingsi came in and sat opposite Chen Mo.
"I'm so tired," said Li Jingsi as she stretched.
Chen Mo looked up with a smile, "Are you done?"
Li Jingsi nodded, "I'm done, it was more troublesome than I thought."
Chen Mo asked, "How was it?"
Li Jingsi said indifferently, "I don't know, I'll just do whatever I want. It's just a job anyways. I'll get them to send you the pictures. "
Chen Mo took the phone from Li Jingsi. There were a few promotional pictures, all of them were women's clothing for spring and autumn.
Both Li Jingsi and Li Jingshu went to take the photo. One of them had a pure and innocent look, while the other had a mature look. Needless to say, this publicity photo was really good.
Especially Li Jingsi. She only put on some light makeup, but the photos she took didn't need to be fixed at all. They could be directly posted on the Internet.
"It's a good shot, a professional photographer. It must have cost a lot to hire you as a model, right? "Chen Mo handed the phone back.
Li Jingsi waved her hand. "Why would I spend money? It's my cousin's company. My cousin and I were forcefully dragged there by him. There's no remuneration, just 30% of the shares. "
Chen Mo laughed, "You think thirty percent is too little? You'll take 30%, your cousin will take another 30%, and your brother will take 40% … This is basically your own company. Your brother is really generous. "
Li Jingsi said, "Hey, don't be so generous. We're all family. Besides, this company is still in the state of paying. It's good enough that we don't lose money."
"Speaking of which, my sister occasionally helps him with the company. As for me, I can only be a model once in a while."
Chen Mo nodded. "Not bad, your brother's pretty good. He's thinking of starting his own business right after graduating?"
Li Jingsi nodded. "Yeah, he's different from me. He went to school in the south, so he has a good business sense. He started researching these things right after he entered university. The clothing brand he's starting now is actually just paying a fashion designer, then finding a factory to make the clothes for him. The clothes aren't exactly high-end, but the quality is decent. The one I'm wearing is a gift from him. "
Chen Mo nodded. "Alright, it's better to make your own brand than fake foreign brands. Did he get investors? "
Li Jingsi said, "What investors? He saved some money when he was in university, and asked for some from his family. Just like that, he managed to scrape together a few hundred thousand and started his business. Isn't that right? He's already made the first batch of clothes, and he's worried about sales. "
"That's going to be tough." Chen Mo put the book back on the shelf. "Should I invest some money in him? What good clothes can he make with just a few hundred thousand? "
Li Jingsi immediately shook her head. "Don't, that's his business. Investing money in him doesn't count as his own skill."
Chen Mo laughed. "It's fine. Isn't the company yours? Just invest some money. It's not easy to start a business. You can't do anything without money, and you won't be able to do it well. We'll just hire the best fashion designers in the country and use the best materials. We'll make sure it's the best. "
Li Jingsi was confused. "Where do we get the best designers?"
Chen Mo said, "Why can't they come? Can't we just pay them? How much do you think is suitable? Why don't we invest ten million to test the waters? "
Li Jingsi replied, "… Test the waters with ten million? Nah, you can't waste money like that even if you have the money. "
Chen Mo said regretfully, "Too bad I'm not a superstar. Otherwise I could just endorse your brother's clothing brand. The results would be pretty good."
Li Jingsi laughed. "You're regretting it now? It's fine, it's still not too late for you to switch careers to the entertainment industry. You can just invest in your own movies and act in them. "
Chen Mo laughed. "Forget it then. However, I have an idea. "
…
The Lost Treasure was officially released a week later.
Just as most players expected, the delayed release of The Lost Treasure did make a lot of changes to the game, but it didn't help.
Although The Lost Treasure was one of the best games in GA's library, it was too bad that it was up against Uncharted Waters.
No matter how many changes were made, The Lost Treasure would never reach the level of Uncharted Waters. It was a sure thing that the game would fail.
Moreover, Chen Mo had already revealed that Uncharted Waters would be releasing three DLCs in the future, telling the adventures of Shambala Kingdom and the City of a Thousand Pillars. There was even less reason for the players to buy The Lost Treasure.
They still had to save up for three DLCs!
It could be said that Uncharted Waters had been suppressing The Lost Treasure from the start of the promotion.
Promotional war.
Early playtesting, early release.
Suppressing The Lost Treasure in terms of quality and reputation.
The GA had put in a lot of effort to get Lost Treasure to gain some popularity. Then, Uncharted Waters released a theme for the VR pod, Seaside Mansion, and three more DLCs …
