Yu Fei had only been the chief designer for a month and was inexperienced. That was why he made some mistakes when assigning work.
It was a lot of work to split a game's content into four parts and update them one by one. It was a lot of work and was very complicated.
He had to retain the original design. Otherwise, the game might get stuck or crash for all sorts of unknown reasons. It would bring players a bad experience or even make them unable to run at all.
What's more, the various scenes, monsters, gameplay, and mechanisms in the game were all closely related. He had to be very careful when breaking it apart.
What's more, Yu Fei's plan did not explain it in detail. Thus, the designer in charge of breaking it apart neglected the automatic blocking mechanism of the Demon Sword due to the huge workload. He updated it along with the basic mechanism in the first part.
This seemed insignificant, but it caused a suffocating chain reaction.
The game's values had been updated, but the combat mechanism had not. Thus, players were actually using the traditional combat mechanism of Repent and be Saved to fight the strengthened monsters. That was why the difficulty had increased. What's more, there were newbies who had not played Repent and be Saved who were also playing Eternal Fallen Samsara.
That way, the number of players who could not defeat the small monsters increased greatly.
They could not obtain the ghostly weapons at all. They could only hold the Demon Sword and die over and over again.
If the combat system was updated, players would be able to do all sorts of blocking actions. That would form a natural and perfect cover effect.
That was because players could block manually. Thus, the occasional automatic blocking would not attract too much attention. Players would think that they had pressed it accidentally and would not think about the game's mechanics.
However, players could not block at all now. The occasional automatic blocking would naturally be very eye-catching. Players would definitely be suspicious if they saw it!
Thus, due to a series of coincidences, the hidden mechanism of the Demon Sword's automatic blocking was exposed before the combat system …
He could only say that plans could not keep up with changes. That was a sad story.
Who was to blame for this?
Meng Chang? Yu Fei? Or the other designers?
It seemed like they were all slightly responsible, but not the main one.
Pei Qian was the one who decided to promote Yu Fei as the chief designer. Pei Qian even hoped that there would be some mistakes.
It did not seem appropriate to blame Yu Fei now.
Not only should he not be blamed, but he should also be encouraged, because in most cases, a mistake at work would lead to a loss, and only a very small number of cases would lead to a profit.
He should comfort Yu Fei and let him maintain his current state. Who knows, he might make another mistake and lose money?
No, wait a minute.
The publicity plan that Meng Chang mentioned just now …
Pei Qian was still thinking about the exposure of the Demon Sword's automatic blocking mechanism when an idea suddenly flashed through his mind. He realized that there seemed to be a huge problem with Meng Chang's publicity plan!
When Meng Chang reported, he briefly explained his publicity plan. It was to split the game into four parts, and the combat system would be updated last.
Of course, Meng Chang did not say the specific intentions of this plan. After all, Meng Chang had tacitly agreed that Boss Pei was the master of the Pei Consortium's publicity method. There was no need to explain this intention. Boss Pei would definitely understand.
However, even a dry publicity plan was enough to make Pei Qian wary.
Something's not right. According to Meng Chang's publicity plan, it can indeed cause some curses from players in the beginning. It can even last until he gets a commission … However, wouldn't it be equally popular once the combat system is updated? It's even more popular than normal updates! "
"Meng Chang, the publicity plan that he came up with this time is evil!"
Pei Qian suddenly realized this serious problem.
The publicity plan that Meng Chang had arranged for Morning Dew Game Platform the last time was a plan that Pei Qian was more satisfied with. The final outcome was not good but that was mainly because of Young Master Tian's interference.
Meng Chang's plan might have some flaws and room for improvement, but it was harmless overall.
It was different this time. How could Meng Chang do such a thing that he could not care less about?
If this plan was executed perfectly, Meng Chang would indeed be able to get a commission, but wouldn't Pei Qian be tricked?
At that thought, Pei Qian's expression darkened. He looked at Meng Chang with an unfriendly expression.
Meng Chang watched Boss Pei ponder for a long time. Then, he looked at him with a strange gaze. His heart could not help but skip a beat. He did not know what Boss Pei meant.
Was he unhappy that something had gone wrong during the publicity work?
Or was it because of something else?
Pei Qian said with a serious expression, "I trusted you a lot before, so I didn't ask too much about the publicity plan for Eternal Fallen Samsara."
"I didn't expect you to come up with such a plan! I wouldn't have noticed it if not for the fact that something went wrong during the execution. "
"Think about it yourself. Is this publicity plan suitable?"
Meng Chang was stunned, confused.
Was the plan suitable?
Of course it was!
Boss Pei, I designed this according to your Pei Consortium's publicity method. I've already succeeded once before. How could it not be suitable?
Meng Chang subconsciously wanted to explain, but he silently swallowed his words when he saw Boss Pei's unfriendly expression.
Something was wrong, something was wrong. Boss Pei must have seen the huge problem in the plan. That was why he was so serious.
It was both impulsive and stupid to fight to the death with Boss Pei now.
After some consideration, Meng Chang felt that he could not ask or explain. That would make him look stupid and unable to understand Boss Pei's intentions. What's more, he would look very irresponsible.
Thus, he asked with the idea of solving the problem, "Boss Pei, I know I was wrong. Then … how should we deal with this situation?"
Although he did not know what he had done wrong, as long as he obediently admitted his mistake, calmed Boss Pei's anger, and then asked Boss Pei for instructions on how to deal with it, he would then be able to reverse analyze this way of dealing with it and find out where his mistake was.
Pei Qian felt a little better seeing Meng Chang's sincere expression of repentance.
Yes, it was a good thing to know one's mistake and change.
Fortunately, he discovered it early this time and did not cause any more damage. He should still be able to remedy it.
As long as Meng Chang remembered this lesson and stopped playing such tricks in the future, he would still be Boss Pei's good brother.
After some consideration, Pei Qian said, "Make an announcement and admit your mistake. The game's combat system will be updated urgently next week."
"Since the Demon Sword's automatic block has been discovered, we can't hide it anymore. We should publicize it however we want."
"Of course, there's no need to make the announcement so clear. Just be more sincere."
Since the mechanism of the Demon Sword had been exposed, there was no way to hide it anymore.
To Pei Qian, there was only one important thing now. It was to disrupt Meng Chang's original publicity plan!
That was because according to the original plan, Eternal Fallen Samsara would definitely explode at the end of next month without any accidents.
The development of the combat system had been completed. The reason why Meng Chang updated it last was purely to obtain more popularity.
Pei Qian requested for the combat system to be updated in advance. While it would also explode in popularity, it would be equivalent to spreading the popularity of Eternal Fallen Samsara for a month. There would not be that kind of explosive popularity.
To Pei Qian, this was the least bad choice.
Of course, it might be more awkward for Meng Chang. This month's commission was probably going to leave him again.
However, who asked him to mess around?
Pei Qian also wanted to teach him a lesson so that he would not do such a bad thing that harmed others for his own benefit in the future.
Meng Chang, you are happily taking the commission at the cost of me making a huge profit. How is that appropriate?
This kind of evil trend must be stopped!
Pei Qian had thought that Meng Chang would immediately stomp his feet and protest firmly.
After all, in the current situation, if Meng Chang resisted stubbornly and continued to push forward with the previous publicity plan, he might be able to get a little commission. However, if he followed Pei Qian's method, it would be equivalent to the entire publicity plan being useless. He would probably not even get a single cent of commission.
However, Meng Chang did not say much. He only looked a little pained.
"Alright, Boss Pei. I understand. I'll arrange it now."
Meng Chang was about to leave when Pei Qian stopped him again.
"By the way, remember to appease Yu Fei. He has just become the person-in-charge after all. He is not familiar with many businesses and needs to take his time. What's more, it's not a big problem this time. Tell him not to blame himself. "
Pei Qian was very worried that Yu Fei would run away.
Meng Chang nodded. "Alright, Boss Pei."
Pei Qian could not help but feel his heart ache as he watched Meng Chang leave the office. At the same time, he felt a little strange.
His heart ached because he only had one good brother in the company after all. Even though he was up to no good this time and almost tricked him by trying to do something flashy, it was indeed not a small punishment for him to get his commission back to zero this month.
The strange thing was that Meng Chang should not be such a meek person, right?
Shouldn't he be arguing with him with the contract now, saying that even Boss Pei had no right to interfere and that the plan had to continue?
Why did he give up on the commission so obediently and change it according to what he said?
Hmm … perhaps Meng Chang felt that he was in the wrong? Or perhaps it was because the mechanism of the Demonic Sword had been exposed and Meng Chang felt that he could not hide it anymore, so he gave up?
Pei Qian thought about it and felt that it was possible.
He should continue to wait and see the subsequent development of Eternal Fallen Samsara.
…
After leaving Boss Pei's office, Meng Chang went straight to Tengda Games upstairs.
Meng Chang had been thinking about why Boss Pei made such arrangements when he climbed the stairs.
Wouldn't the early update of the combat system completely destroy the entire publicity plan?
Why did Boss Pei make such a heroic decision?
Obviously, there must be a huge loophole in his publicity plan that caused Boss Pei to be so angry that he even wanted to overturn the entire plan.
However, Meng Chang did not know where this loophole was, nor did he know why Boss Pei's current actions could plug this loophole. He was very confused.
He could only take it one step at a time.
Thus, Meng Chang found Yu Fei and told him about Boss Pei's request.
Yu Fei was very embarrassed. "I'm sorry, Brother Meng. I made a mistake in my work, causing your plan to be affected. I can only overturn it and start again …"
Meng Chang shook his head. "You don't have to blame yourself for this."
"Boss Pei's attitude has already explained that there's a problem with my plan. There might be some problems with the execution, but that would expose the problem earlier."
"Therefore, this is a good thing."
"What's more, Boss Pei said that you've just become the person-in-charge. It's inevitable that there will be some mistakes. That's very normal. Just let nature take its course."
Yu Fei could not help but feel touched.
Boss Pei actually trusted him so much?
Wouldn't it be very irresponsible if he just left?
He immediately nodded. "Don't worry, Brother Meng. I'll definitely focus 120% this time and do the task that Boss Pei has arranged well. I won't be careless like last time!"
"I'll make the arrangements and draft an announcement to change the combat system's update to next week!"
"That's right, Boss Pei said that since we can't hide the matter of the Demonic Sword any longer, we should publicize it as we should."
"Does that mean that GOG's new hero, the Hell Suppressor, can also be arranged to be online? Min Jingchao has already done it and has been waiting. "
Meng Chang thought for a moment. "I think so."
Yu Fei nodded. "Alright, I'll inform Min Jingchao now."
