September 5th, Wednesday …
Yu Fei sat at his desk. He had just planned the changes to Meng Chang's publicity plan and handed it to the designers.
Strictly speaking, Meng Chang's request was not difficult. It was just a little troublesome and took some time. What's more, it was a little strange.
Yu Fei did not ask much. He only split the entire downloadable content into four parts and handed it to the designers under him.
After arranging the work, Yu Fei received a message from Hu Xianbin.
"I'll probably arrive in Jingzhou at around 3 PM today. I'll come to the company to hand over the work. Sorry to trouble you during this period of time! "
Yu Fei could not help but perk up when he saw this message.
That's great! Hu Xianbin had finally returned from his trip!
Unfortunately, if he had returned two or three days earlier, Meng Chang's work would have been handed over to Hu Xianbin. Yu Fei would not have to worry about it.
The timing was not too coincidental.
However, being a monk for a day and ringing the bell for a day was not a big problem, so this amount of work was not a big deal.
He had to complete the last task before handing over the work. It could be considered a perfect ending to his' cross-world experience '!
Yu Fei leaned back in his chair and stretched. He did not have much work on hand now and could be said to be relaxed. He was just waiting for the handover.
Hu Xianbin and the others had not gone out for a month. It had only been about 27 or 28 days.
There were no strict requirements for the exact number of days they had to travel. It did not mean that they had to play outside for 30 days. It was about four weeks.
Obviously, Hu Xianbin and Huang Sibo felt that the limelight had passed and it was about time for them to return to work.
Yu Fei also hoped that Hu Xianbin would return as soon as possible. After handing over the work, he could continue to be a web novel author.
He had been thinking about the new book for a long time. He had already gone through the world view, basic settings, and outline many times. Now, he was very eager to start writing and let the new work meet the readers.
Yu Fei made the decision and released the update announcement after the designers under him reported that there were no problems.
The first part of Eternal Samsara would be updated this Saturday.
At the same time, the announcement would explain the entire update process clearly and inform gamers in advance.
After doing all that, Yu Fei cleaned up all traces of his use on the computer. It was the same as when he came and when he left.
"A month of substitute work is finally over!" Yu Fei let out a long sigh.
Min Jingchao came over and said, "I've already made arrangements for tonight. Let's go to Ming House for a meal. Take it as Hu Xianbin's thanks to you. Let him treat you."
Yu Fei was taken aback. "Can't it be reimbursed?"
Min Jingchao chuckled. "How insincere is the reimbursement? We have to make him pay! "
…
3: 00 pm.
Coming out of the airport, Huang Sibo and Hu Xianbin looked for Xiao Sun who was in charge of receiving them.
"Please get in the car." Xiao Sun was very eager to help carry the luggage.
Huang Sibo and Hu Xianbin sat in the car and sighed while swiping their phones.
"It's Xiao Sun who came to pick me up today. Are the other drivers busy? I feel like I'm being treated better. "
Everyone knew that Little Sun was Boss Pei's personal chauffeur. Usually, he would prioritize picking Boss Pei up. The task of picking up the others was handed over to another driver.
Hu Xianbin and Huang Sibo were surprised that Xiao Sun was the one who came to fetch them.
However, they did not think too much about it. Perhaps Boss Pei did not need a car today.
The two of them leaned back comfortably in their seats, took out their phones, and started browsing the web.
Although they had been traveling for a month, they were not really tired.
That was because they were in the country and had good food and accommodation. The attractions they visited were not that tiring. In addition, they had basically rested in the hotel for two days before their return. Thus, they were fully recovered.
After a month off, he couldn't wait to get back to work.
Huang Sibo was still thinking about the filming of Successor. He knew that the production crew had already gone to the United States. He planned to rest for two days after arriving in Jingzhou. After he was done with his preparations, he would book a plane ticket and fly over.
As for Hu Xianbin, he was still thinking about the development of Eternal Fallen Samsara.
As he browsed the web, Hu Xianbin suddenly exclaimed, 'eh?'
"Eternal Fallen Samsara made an update announcement? Isn't that a little too early? "
He remembered clearly that the development cycle for Eternal Fallen Samsara was to be completed by the end of the month. What's more, that was under relatively smooth circumstances.
Why was there an update announcement at the beginning of the month?
There was no way it could be that fast, right?
Hu Xianbin quickly clicked on it and read the details of the announcement.
There were a few points written clearly on the announcement.
First, the downloadable content for Eternal Fallen Samsara would be updated in stages. The four updates would be 1/3 of the game's scenery and monster resources, as well as changes to the game's combat system and storyline.
The four updates would be at 2 PM on the 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th respectively. They were all Fridays.
Second, the downloadable content would be pre-purchased. Players would have to pay in full in advance to download the corresponding content within the corresponding period.
The downloadable content was not expensive at 28 yuan.
Players could also choose not to pre-purchase it. Instead, they could pay for the complete downloadable content on the 28th after the update was completed.
Finally, it was important to note that after the downloadable content for Eternal Fallen Samsara was completed on the 28th, players could purchase Eternal Fallen Samsara at will. However, they could not purchase Repent and be Saved at will.
If they wanted to purchase Repent and be Saved, they would have to purchase Eternal Fallen Samsara first.
Hu Xianbin frowned slightly.
As the designer of Eternal Fallen Samsara, he naturally knew the situation of the game very well. He also knew that some of the content in the announcement was specially requested by Boss Pei.
For example, after the update of Eternal Fallen Samsara was completed, Repent and be Saved could not be purchased casually. Boss Pei had specially instructed him to do so.
However, there were still some contents that confused him. For example, the pre-purchase and the stages of the update made him confused.
Even Hu Xianbin was confused, not to mention the players online.
He browsed through the comments online and found that the players were equally confused and puzzled.
Of course, there was a little surprise, mainly because the release date was far beyond expectations.
"F * ck! Am I seeing things? Eternal Fallen Samsara can be played this Friday? "
"That's too f * cking fast. According to the official information, didn't they just officially start development last month? I thought it would take at least four or five months. What's the meaning of skipping three months? "
"Happiness came too suddenly! Other games would easily skip two or three months. Tengda, on the other hand, skipped two or three months! We can play it in advance! "
"Look carefully, it's pre-sales and updates in batches. Only a quarter of the game's content will be updated this Friday."
"A quarter is fine too. You don't know that I'm dying of boredom without Eternal Fallen Samsara!"
"A portion of the content will be updated every week. That's good. I'll play a little every week, and it'll be completed in a month. The timing is perfect! I don't have to rush to update the game's progress like before. "
"Hurry up and update! I can't wait to suffer!"
This group of gamers was obviously very surprised.
That was because they had been waiting for Eternal Fallen Samsara for a long time. News of this downloadable content had already been released in June. Everyone also knew that Yu Fei, the original author, would personally participate in the development of the game. Loyal gamers of Repent and be Saved were all looking forward to it.
They had thought that they would only be able to play the game for at least half a year. Now, they could play it in two or three days. What a pleasant surprise!
However, while they were pleasantly surprised, many gamers also expressed their worries.
"Although it's good to be able to play the downloadable content earlier, … the timing is too rushed! The downloadable content has only been developed for two months. Will the quality of the game be up to standard? "
"Don't you trust Tengda?"
"It's not a matter of whether we trust them or not. The key is that Tengda cannot go against the laws of nature. The bigger the game, the longer the development time. We cannot shorten this time!"
"I don't think this is good news either. Does this mean that our expectations for Eternal Fallen Samsara are too high? This might be a very small downloadable content update. It might not be a huge update that can match the flow and duration of the original game like we expected. "
"We can also tell from the price. The original Repent and be Saved costs 128 yuan. The downloadable content is only 28 yuan. That means that the downloadable content is probably only a quarter of the original game's volume. It might not even be as big as it is!"
"Then, at most, they've created a new large-scale scenario …"
"That's not right. Where's the Martial God in the original game? Where's the first Prison Warden in the Infernal Realm? If all these plots are shown, it would be as big as Repent and be Saved. "
"I can understand pre-ordering, but why can't I buy Repent and be Saved separately after Eternal Fallen Samsara is updated? Why can I buy Eternal Fallen Samsara alone? Who is the original and who is the downloadable content? "
"What if I don't want to play Eternal Fallen Samsara and only want to play Repent and be Saved?"
"That can't be. Is there anyone who hasn't bought Repent and be Saved yet?"
"If you don't want to play Eternal Fallen Samsara, then buy Repent and be Saved before the end of the month."
"Actually, you can think of Eternal Fallen Samsara as the original game. It's only sold for 28 yuan. You can only buy the downloadable content after buying the original game. Repent and be Saved is 128 yuan. You can buy the original game for 28 yuan. Isn't that a huge profit? "
"F * ck, you're such a logical genius. I'm impressed!"
Obviously, the gamers were all confused as well. They did not understand what this arrangement meant.
Wasn't this the difference between being fickle and fickle?
Whether it was splitting the downloadable content four times or flipping the roles of the original game and the downloadable content, it all seemed superfluous. The meaning was unclear.
What was more worrying was that the development time was too short. Although the price was cheap, the content of the game would definitely be reduced accordingly.
They had been looking forward to a large-scale downloadable content of the same size as the original game. In the end, it was just a small fix. That was too disappointing.
