The company representatives who had just said that they believed in science had a 180-degree change in attitude in an instant.
This was because the people who made the game were very sensitive to probability. Everything else might lie, but probability would never lie!
There was even a testing team leader who paid attention to details. He wanted to test all the office buildings in the area, as well as every floor, to find the best location for the Feng Shui treasure land.
Otherwise, if they rented the wrong floor for the same rent, wouldn't that be a huge loss?
Hearing the analysis of the testing team leader, everyone nodded.
Yes, that should be the case!
Although this behavior was absurd … everyone believed in metaphysics. Did it matter if it was absurd or not?
It was more important to fix the bugs as soon as possible!
Even Yan Qi was a little regretful.
Damn, why didn't I think of "looking for a signal" before renting the workstations!
I really should have found the best location for the Feng Shui treasure land. I was too careless.
But on second thought, it wasn't a big problem. At worst, he could become a middleman in the future. He could rent out these workstations and move them to a more efficient place to find bugs.
Everyone quickly began to move. They spread out and searched for the "center of the Feng Shui treasure land."
If there was a fortune teller who could divide gold and fix acupoints, the efficiency would be higher. But it didn't matter if there wasn't. The game on the phone was like a radar. They ran to a new place and tested for ten minutes. Looking at the number of bugs, they could roughly guess the specific Feng Shui of the place.
Moreover, they couldn't be sure if the Feng Shui treasure land was distributed around a central point, or if it was distributed randomly in a certain area.
Therefore, they had to test a few more places to find the best location.
They tested from noon to afternoon, and finally determined a general area.
It seemed like … the best Feng Shui treasure land had been taken by the Morning Dew Gaming Platform!
The bug finding effect basically spread out from this area, and the entire area was roughly shaped like a ball.
Therefore, on the same floor of the Morning Dew Gaming Platform, or two floors above or below the office area of the Morning Dew Gaming Platform, the effect would be better.
Any further and the effect would be greatly reduced, or even disappear completely.
After testing, everyone couldn't stay calm.
Was there really such a metaphysical place in this world?
Since that was the case, why hadn't anyone discovered it before?
After a little investigation, he realized that the location of this office building was rather remote and older. The companies that rented the workstations here were basically traditional industries. There were no internet companies or game companies.
Obviously, this place had been buried!
At first, many people were skeptical, but after checking the surroundings, they were completely convinced by Metaphysics.
The news was also shared in the group chat.
It wasn't that everyone was so selfless that they were willing to share their Fengshui Treasured Land with others. The main thing was that this matter was too bizarre. It was hard to hold it in if they didn't say it out loud!
…
Morning Dew Gaming Platform.
Li Yada had just finished her work and took the time to look at the chat group.
I wonder what these people from the gaming company are talking about?
Although this was a work group in theory, it was formed between different companies after all. The atmosphere in the group was also relatively free and relaxed, so there was a lot of chatting, and the topics were also relatively daily.
Li Yada was busy with work. She hadn't looked at it for a few hours, and it had already become 99 +.
Li Yada was stunned when she scrolled through these people's chat records.
"Ah?"
"What are these people saying?"
"This building is a Fengshui Treasured Land? The probability of bugs appearing is especially high? "
"And the center of the Fengshui Treasured Land is right here?"
"That's ridiculous! How could this kind of thing be discussed openly in the group? Don't you guys who make games have any scientific knowledge? "
Li Yada was confused.
How was this a Fengshui Treasured Land for bugs? We've been here for a long time, but we haven't felt anything?
The Morning Dew Gaming Platform's program had been under development, and the number of bugs was still acceptable. It didn't feel any different from when they were in Tengda.
The others were basically transferred from Tengda's games department and TPDb website. They were originally working on the 16th, 17th, and 18th floors of Shenhua View. They didn't feel anything strange when they came here.
Li Yada was a little speechless. Seeing that a group of people were still trying hard to get more people to rent workstations and freeload on the Fengshui Treasured Land, she quickly clarified in the group.
"The Fengshui Treasured Land thing should be a joke. Don't take it seriously, everyone. I don't feel any changes at all."
However, the people in the group did not believe her at all.
"We've tested it; it's really different!"
"It doesn't matter. Believe it or not, it doesn't matter. In any case, the Fengshui Treasured Land is almost full. Those who are late won't be able to rent it."
"Actually, there's no need to arrange for an entire testing team to come here. We just need to arrange for one or two testers to keep looking for bugs here. The development team can then fix the bugs in their own company. The money for two workstations can greatly increase the speed at which bugs are discovered. It's so worth it!"
"That's right. It's just two workstations. It's not a loss or a scam!"
"I didn't believe it at first, until I really came here to try it …"
"Really? I'm in Shanghai now. I'll send two testers there on a business trip. Can you guys reserve a spot for our company? If it's true, we'll reward you handsomely! "
There were other companies in the group that were not in Jingzhou. Seeing that everyone in the group was talking so clearly, they could not help but be curious and want to send people over to take a look.
What if it was true?
How much was the rent for two workstations? If it could really increase the speed at which bugs were found, it would be a huge profit!
Li Yada tried to clarify but realized that it did not seem to work at all.
"Forget it … whatever."
"Anyway, renting workstations here won't cost me any money. It doesn't matter if this place can increase the efficiency of fixing bugs or not. It's good to give these people some psychological comfort."
Li Yada knew that it was meaningless to talk about science and rationality in front of these people who had serious metaphysical thoughts. They would not believe it anyway.
It was better to focus on the game platform!
However, she still could not forget about this matter after being busy with work for a period of time.
"Why don't … I go and test it too?"
"Yes, take a game demo from any random company and run on this floor to count the bugs. Then, run outside the building and count the bugs. Wouldn't you be able to see if there's any difference?"
…
…
August 16th, Thursday morning …
Meng Chang arrived at the Morning Dew Game Platform early in the morning. He was prepared to discuss the second step of the publicity plan with Tang Yishu and Li Yada, as well as the specific time for the trial operation of the game platform.
However, just as he walked to the floor where the Morning Dew Game Platform was located, he suddenly felt that something was amiss.
Why did it seem like … it had become lively?
He remembered very clearly that when the Morning Dew Game Platform first arrived, there were still many empty workstations on this floor. There were still a lot of empty workstations even though a few more were rented out.
But now, all the workstations seemed to be occupied?
Not only that, but there were also many people who did not have workstations. They were either sitting on the chairs in the resting area or leaning against the side with their notebooks in their hands. He did not know what they were busy with.
Meng Chang was very confused.
This office building was not in a prime location, and the environment was not particularly good. Why were there suddenly so many people renting it?
What's more, people were coming and going. They looked rather busy and excited.
Meng Chang arrived at the conference room of the Morning Dew Game Platform with doubts in his mind. He had a meeting with Tang Yishu and Li Yada.
"Why have so many companies moved here recently? What happened to this building? Did they reduce the rent? "Meng Chang asked.
Li Yada did not know whether to laugh or cry. She recounted what had happened recently.
"This building is a treasure land. Has the efficiency of finding bugs increased?"
"How is that possible!"
Meng Chang was also very surprised.
How could so many people believe in such metaphysical things?
It was ridiculous!
Li Yada sighed. "I was the same as you at first. I didn't believe it at all. However, I took a game with a bug to test it and realized that it was real … "
"The probability of bugs appearing in this area has indeed increased. This is the real data from the test."
"However, our development process has not been affected. It's mainly the game companies outside that are more affected."
"What's more, I realized that those games that rarely had bugs in the test really don't seem to have any bugs. Or rather, even if there were bugs, the probability of them appearing is very low. They basically can't be touched, and it doesn't affect the game experience."
"I don't know how to explain this now. Is it metaphysics or pure luck …"
As Li Yada spoke, Tang Yishu lowered her head even more.
Meng Chang fell into deep thought. "There's such a thing?"
Li Yada waved her hand. "Forget it, this has nothing to do with us. It's a good thing anyway. These companies can find bugs faster and the game can be released earlier. "
"Let's talk about the publicity plan first."
Meng Chang nodded and began to get to the point.
"The first stage of the publicity work has been successfully completed."
"There are two goals. The first is to leave an impression on netizens and let Morning Dew Gaming Platform gain a certain amount of attention and fame. The second is to let the game companies know about our platform and try their best to obtain more games before the trial operation of the platform."
"I heard that the development of the game platform's program has been completed. Then … do you have a clear idea of when to start the trial operation?"
"Next is the second step of the publicity plan. I've already prepared two plans. I'm just waiting for the platform to officially start the trial operation."
Li Yada thought for a moment and said, "I originally wanted to start the trial operation on Friday, which is tomorrow."
"But …"
"The worst-case scenario that we predicted has happened."
"Previously, I thought that the two companies encountering a large number of bugs was just an isolated phenomenon. However, from the looks of it now, it seems to be a common phenomenon … Most of the games that we cooperate with cannot be released because there are too many bugs."
"There are only three or four old games that have been in operation for a long time that meet the requirements."
"Although we can start the trial operation, there are only four games on the entire platform. Does that make sense? What's more, these four games are old games that have been in operation for a long time. "
"It's better not to start this trial operation …"
Meng Chang said, "Since that's the case, let's use the publicity plan without games that I prepared previously!"
"Four games or no games, it's the same plan."
Li Yada was a little surprised. "You really came up with a publicity plan without games? Will it work? "
"The game platform has been put into trial operation, but there is not a single game on it. Isn't that too ridiculous?"
Meng Chang smiled. "Yes!"
"However … I need the platform to cooperate a little and make a small function."
Li Yada asked, "What small function?"
Meng Chang: "According to the previous arrangement, open all the game's information pages and publicity pages as usual. However, players cannot download these games that have not been completely fixed. "
"On the details page of each game, show the number of bugs it is currently fixing, changing in real time!"
Li Yada was a little surprised. "That works too?"
"Yes … it might really be effective."
"On one hand, the game library looks more substantial and won't be as shabby as before. On the other hand, the game is still fixing bugs, which is also in line with the situation of our platform's trial operation. Most importantly, players can know the current progress and have a sense of participation."
"But this doesn't really solve the problem, right? Players still can't play the game, and there might even be some players who dislike it … "
Meng Chang smiled. "Of course, I expected that. It's alright. This is also part of the publicity plan."
"What's more, I've thought of a very good follow-up plan based on the fact that these companies are looking for bugs …"
"However, we have to further prove the authenticity of this' Feng Shui treasure land 'and confirm that there are indeed no bugs after these companies are modified. Only then can this plan be fully implemented!"
