Gu Fei stared expressionlessly at Bai Jinglun, who couldn't suppress his excitement. He took the thick stack of registration forms from Bai Jinglun's hands and scanned through them. Finally, he couldn't help but burst out, "Two thousand, right?! Tailor-Made, right? Do you think I'm a robot??? "
Bai Jinglun was stunned. "Isn't it the same as a robot in the game?"
"F * ck!" Gu Fei raised his leg and kicked to the side. The Hundred Lives Jinglun was also a real fighter. He pushed his arms forward, and when the two of them came into contact, it was the Hundred Lives Jinglun who had the upper hand. He grabbed Gu Fei's ankle with both hands, and with a twist, he flung Gu Fei up. Unexpectedly, Gu Fei swung his other leg at Bai Jinglun's head. Bai Jinglun had to let go to avoid the kick, while Gu Fei rolled in the air and stood on the same spot.
"Don't fight yet!" Brother You saw that this might be the only chance to intervene and stop the two from fighting, so he rushed in between them without a care for his own safety. He extended his arms and blocked one of them with each hand, but he was already prepared to cross his arms in defense at any time.
Seeing that the two were not going to fight, Brother You let out a long breath and hurriedly said to Gu Fei, "The actual situation isn't as bad as you think."
Gu Fei looked at Brother You and gestured for him to continue.
"Although there are two thousand registration forms, there are only seven classes in the game, and there's a fixed system for adding points for each class. Moreover, there's a limit to the types of monsters, so two thousand registration forms doesn't mean that there's a need for two thousand development. Most of them must have the same situation," Brother You said.
Gu Fei thought about it and felt that it made sense. He then looked down at the registration forms in his hands and looked at a few of them. The classes and weapons were all different, but at least there was one thing in common: the NPCs that these players chose were all Bonfire Patrols. Brother You had moved to Gu Fei's side and was looking at the registration forms in Gu Fei's hands. He said, "Look, these people are asking for the same monsters. Although the weapons are different, you're not asking for the type of weapon, but the length of the weapon, right? This way, we can set a unified standard, and there won't be too many categories in the end. As for attributes, for example, the set just now requires Agility to be at least Level 8. Then, all Agility, Half Agility, and so on are basically all in line with the requirements. Based on this trend, the so-called tailor-made sets aren't as complicated as you think. "
"That's true, but Level 40 players don't have low requirements for monsters. There are many professions that don't add any Agility. How can we tailor monsters for them? Damn, a Fallen Wizard, a Level 60 monster! Who was this outrageous? It's very strenuous for me to kill them. "Gu Fei said.
Brother You almost fell to the ground. He said in a trembling voice, "You can solo a Level-60 monster?"
"Yes, didn't I mention it to you?" Gu Fei said.
"No!" Brother You thought that if he had mentioned it, he would've gone to observe.
"Uh, I probably haven't killed many Level-60 monsters." Gu Fei only started killing them after he reached Level 40, so he hadn't killed them many times.
"What is this monster?" Gu Fei saw a strange name he didn't recognize and asked Brother You.
Brother You wiped his sweat. "This is a Level-70 …"
"Let him tailor-make it!" Gu Fei said hatefully as he stuffed the Greedy registration form for attempting to kill a Level-70 monster into the arms of Hundred Eras Strategist. Level 60 was Gu Fei's limit. Gu Fei had tried killing Level-70 monsters before. He could protect himself if he killed them, but if he sweated profusely every time he killed one, it would be too much of a waste to use as leveling. The Night Streamer Sword was reduced to a normal Purple Exquisite weapon on a Level-70 monster. Gu Fei's frightening spell damage didn't exist in the Level-70 plane. He could only kill the werewolves with ease, and that was with the Holy Baptism on the Baptism of Fire, which restrained the werewolves' most abnormal self-recovery ability.
"Level-70 is too difficult …" Hundred Eras Strategist had obviously challenged it before. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so sure. He scratched his head and said, "If the two of us work together, it might be possible."
Gu Fei ignored him, but Brother You was quick-witted. His eyes lit up as he said, "This person who suggested high-level monsters is just making things difficult for you. Even if you say you can't kill them, the players will understand. Moreover, if the two of you work together, it'll be a victory! Think about it, the higher the level of the monster, the richer the EXP. So, you don't need to be too efficient. It'll be fine as long as you can show a higher efficiency than normal leveling. Want to learn Level-70? Ask them to learn. Anyway, I'll take the money. Whether they can learn it or not is up to them. "
"But this guy said it's guaranteed that they'll learn it!" Gu Fei pointed at Hundred Eras Strategist.
"You shouldn't have said that." Brother You chose to stand on Gu Fei's side this time.
Hundred Eras Strategist thought that it made sense. Killing a Level-70 monster would not have enough equipment and attributes. Many skills of Kung Fu were needed. The more content in this area, the more difficult it would be for a normal person to learn, especially when it required the reflexes that had been trained for many years. It was not guaranteed that they would learn it.
When he thought of these very professional details, Hundred Eras Strategist gradually felt that he had indeed not considered everything. He was really blinded by money.
"What should we do?" Hundred Eras Strategist held the registration form that Gu Fei had thrown at him and was reluctant to part with it.
"That's not a big problem!" It was Brother You who had the most ideas at this time. "If normal people really can't learn killing high-level monsters like Level-60 and Level-70, just say that there's no such business for now. No one will have any objections. On the other hand, you have to think about how to complete the business for those players without Agility. You should put the customer's needs first! You have to adapt your Kung Fu to the customer, not let the customer adapt to your Kung Fu. "
"This brother's words make sense." Hundred Eras Strategist shook hands with Brother You.
"Is it possible to play without Agility?" Brother You asked Gu Fei.
"Of course it's possible," Hundred Eras Strategist answered on his behalf.
Gu Fei sighed helplessly. "It's possible, but without the speed of the skill, you'll need your own reaction speed to improve the rhythm. It's harder to learn, and there might not be a satisfactory efficiency."
"But at least it has to be more efficient than the killing method of normal players, right?" Brother You said.
"Of course." Gu Fei nodded.
"That's enough." Brother You nodded confidently.
"So, this business is still promising?" Hundred Eras Strategist was excited again. After Gu Fei mentioned a bunch of problems, he felt that there were many obstacles before the business even started.
"That's all I can think of for now …" Brother You would never be full with his words. "But no matter what, this business is super promising. Even if it can't be targeted at all players, it's enough to make a profit as long as it's targeted at those with Agility. 99 gold coins. If I really want to learn this kind of monster killing efficiency, it's simply too cheap. "
"Is that so …" Hundred Eras Strategist regretted it.
"Actually, it's a good chance to put it into practice. Let's try it out with the players who signed up first and see the effect. If it's possible, we'll expand the enrollment and build a more mature and reasonable system. "Brother You shook his head.
"What system?" Gu Fei and Hundred Eras Strategist asked together.
"This job isn't that simple! For example, right now, there are more than a thousand registration forms that have to be sorted. There are still many in the mailbox waiting to be taken out and sorted. After sorting them out, you'll have to rush to the various leveling areas and spend time teaching the players … "
There were indeed many things to do. Gu Fei glared at Hundred Eras Strategist, but he also realized that this was indeed a good way to earn money. It was much better than Hundred Eras Strategist being a mercenary.
Brother You's mind was filled with the details of this matter. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Gu Fei looked at him and knew that Brother You was probably thinking of getting involved in this business. It just so happened that the two jobs of development and teaching were enough to keep Gu Fei and Hundred Eras Strategist busy. Moreover, it could only be the two of them, so Brother You could be considered a professional for chores like sorting out information.
"Let's go back to the city and find a place to sit down and talk in detail!" Gu Fei said. It had been a tiring day.
The three of them returned to the main city and went straight to a tavern. However, they had said almost everything they wanted to say on the way. When they sat in the tavern, Brother You had already talked about the glorious future. "Professions, point addition methods, equipment, and small monsters! These numbers are actually fixed. When our business develops to a certain stage, development work may not be necessary anymore. Resources can be recycled, and that will be wonderful. "
Gu Fei smiled disapprovingly. "You're too optimistic. After learning these things, you teach me, and I teach you. For example, you already know how to fight the Bonfire Patrollers. If we go out and set up a class that costs 50 gold coins per person, will anyone still come to us to learn? "
Brother You was stunned. He had forgotten about this. It turned out that this business was not a monopoly. It was a business that was highly likely to cause the apprentices to starve to death.
"Can it be that only you guys know how to teach, and no one else can teach?" Brother You asked.
Gu Fei and Hundred Eras Strategist used their gazes to tell him that he was daydreaming.
"I see! In that case, we can't make small profits but quick turnover like now. We have to earn as much as possible when we have an advantage. 99 gold coins is too cheap, "Brother You said.
"How much is suitable?" Hundred Eras Strategist asked.
"999 gold coins!" Brother You was actually a ruthless person.
"But 99 gold coins has already been called out," Hundred Eras Strategist said.
"There's really no way to change this batch now, but we can tell them that because they are our first batch of customers, we'll give them a 10% discount. All customers who come in the future will be 999 gold coins."
"That's ruthless …" Gu Fei inhaled sharply. Hundred Eras Strategist was frantically calculating the arithmetic problem of 999 times 2000.
Both parties had come to an agreement on the way, and Brother You had joined them to be in charge of organizing information and publicity for the business in the future. The registration forms had been handed to him, and he took out many other registration letters from the mailbox when he returned to the city. Brother You was flipping through a stack of letters when he suddenly frowned and said, "999 gold coins isn't good either. Although the value of this item is definitely worth 999 gold coins, from a marketing point of view, there's too much room for price flexibility. It'll promote the formation of second-hand depreciation market, which is very disadvantageous to us … No, this price won't do. I was too short-sighted just now. 99 gold coins is more suitable."
Brother You's suggestion was overturned by him, saying that the three of them would discuss it. It had always been like this since they were halfway there. Brother You was discussing with himself, and Gu Fei and Hundred Eras Strategist habitually stopped talking, waiting for Brother You to come up with a conclusion.
"99 gold coins, it's still 99 gold coins!" Brother You finally decided. "This price isn't considered high consumption at the moment. There's no profit if there's too much depreciation, and there's a limit to how attractive it is if there's too little depreciation. We have to expand our influence as soon as possible while the business initiative is still firmly in our hands. We have to form a certain brand effect. "
"It's the same no matter who teaches it. What brand is there?" Gu Fei laughed.
"Of course there's a brand. Since it's the same no matter who teaches it, we'll be competing on fame, influence, and popularity!" Brother You said.
"Alright, you guys discuss it. I'm tired today, and I want to go offline to rest. If it's okay, I'll organize the information tonight. I'll start the development tomorrow. You guys can do whatever you want. "Gu Fei stood up as he spoke, and left without waiting for their agreement.
Brother You was stunned for a long time, and he muttered to Hundred Eras Strategist, "It's a profitable business! Why doesn't Thousand Miles seem interested in it at all? "
"His family is very rich. He's interested in everything, but not money," Hundred Eras Strategist said.
"Is that so …" Brother You didn't know Gu Fei's family background, and he was wondering why the teacher didn't care about such a huge income. If this business was successful, it wouldn't be as simple as becoming rich in the game. It would be a huge career that could support him in real life.
"Ignore him, please continue." Hundred Eras Strategist listened to Brother You's teachings along the way, and the more he listened, the more he respected him.
"Let's settle on the price first! If it's set too high, it'll be the same as getting a lot of money and leaving. We can't do something so short-sighted, right? "
"Of course, of course." Hundred Eras Strategist realized that if this business was successful, he could quit his job as a bodyguard at the school. The players in this parallel world had a much wider source of students than their school. In Brother You's words, they had to make the business more influential. The first thing new players should do when they entered the game was to contact Hundred Eras Strategist to learn the most suitable and fastest way to kill monsters. These words made Hundred Eras Strategist excited.
Brother You was very meticulous when he did things. After looking into the future, he knew that the two thousand sign-up forms in front of him were the first shot that could successfully start this business, so he immediately started working on it.
The next day, Gu Fei went online early in the morning. Brother You was nowhere to be seen, but the students were already waiting for him. As usual, Gu Fei brought the students to the leveling spot. The group teaching had ended for the day. If the students wanted to continue learning, they had to level up. Although they had learned Gu Fei's method of killing monsters quickly, it was not so fast that they could reach the next stage in two or three days. Gu Fei mainly taught the students who had weird questions one-on-one.
There were no new questions after the six questions today. There were only a few students, and most of them had already asked questions. There was no reason for them to ask about other monsters so soon. The other small group of students fought the small monsters that Gu Fei had arranged, which saved Gu Fei a lot of trouble. As a result, some of the students focused on fighting the monsters, while others went to find the monsters that they needed after mastering the special strategy that Gu Fei taught them. Gu Fei walked around a few rounds and realized that the students were already very skilled. Originally, it was just using a rigid strategy to kill a rigid robot. How hard could it be? It was true that they could increase their experience quickly, but when it became a habit, they would have to endure the repetition and boredom. The more they repeated, the more boring it would be. Gu Fei was looking forward to seeing how much perseverance these students had.
After mingling with the students for more than an hour, Brother You made a dazzling appearance. He messaged Gu Fei as soon as he went online.
"Yo, pretty early!" Usually, Brother You wouldn't go online at this time. They would only go online after noon.
"There's a lot to do!" Brother You said.
"Is that so? How is it?"
"This is my plan now. We can't teach one after another. Won't you two be busy to death? What I mean is a demand. We can only start teaching when we have accumulated a certain number. For example, five hundred or a thousand people. Otherwise, wouldn't it be crazy to teach you one by one? "
"Hmm, from yesterday till now, this sentence of yours is my favorite. So what's your initial number? Five hundred or a thousand? "Gu Fei asked.
"This has to be based on the actual situation. The main problem is the teaching venue. For example, the wilderness camp. Because of the existence of 9527 stones, the teaching conditions are extremely good. Teaching two thousand people at one time isn't a problem. But if we want to change to another place, we need to adjust the number according to the local conditions, "Brother You said.
"Mm, that's right," Gu Fei said.
"The tragic ones are Xiayu City and Forest Shade City. I'm afraid these two main cities can't carry out large-scale teaching. We have to think of other ways," Brother You said.
"Cough, Brother You, you're really far-sighted. You're already preparing to promote the brand to the world? Isn't it good to do the ones on hand first? "Gu Fei asked.
"The ones on hand? We've already completed part of it! "Brother You said.
"Ah?"
"Most of the registration forms yesterday were collected from the wilderness camp. In the end, I calculated that 1,841 players chose the Bonfire Patrol as their monster, and the situation was more optimistic than we expected. In the end, these 1,841 players were divided into two categories. The first category was those who wielded long weapons and had low Agility or no Agility. The second category was those who wielded short weapons and had high Agility. You've already taught them yesterday, so Hundred Eras Strategist has developed these two categories and completed the teaching last night. We've already earned our first bucket of gold."
"Is that so?" Gu Fei wiped his sweat. He didn't expect these two guys to be so capable.
"Mm, but Hundred Generations Statecraft said he wasn't very good at short weapons. You might have a better method, so he said he wanted to discuss it with you again. But I think this is actually a good thing. If there's a better technique, it can just show that our development power is very strong. Once there's a competitor in the current playstyle teaching, we can introduce a new playstyle to re-occupy the market, "Brother You said.
"You really have an idea." Gu Fei wiped his sweat again. Not to mention actual PK, Brother You was actually a super awesome character.
"Thank you. There's also bad news, "Brother You said.
"What?" Gu Fei asked.
"That night, not long after our teaching ended, there were already people in the wilderness camp starting to depreciate at the price of 50 gold coins, and it wasn't just one person. The players' brains turn really fast, "Brother You said.
