Ma Yiqun quickly looked at the comments on Repent and be Saved's official website. He realized that many authors had come from Repent and be Saved.
Of course, Ma Yiqun knew that the game had been released. After all, he had written the game's plot with the editors. He had also put in a lot of effort for the game.
However, Ma Yiqun did not expect so many readers to come over for sightseeing.
Plot planning was Ma Yiqun's specialty. Thus, he was very clear about the current state of the domestic game industry.
Plot planning was basically equivalent to 'changing the skin of the game'.
That was because in the current domestic game industry, the plot was considered the least important part of a game.
This was especially so for mobile games and web-based games. Many project teams did not even hire plot planners. Instead, they would hire an executive planner who was better at writing.
Even for client-side games that required a certain plot content, they would not spend a lot of money to hire a plot planner. At most, they would hire a fresh graduate from the Literature Department and pay him a basic salary. That would make them look stingy.
All in all, most domestic game companies did not care about plots. Most gamers did not care about plots either.
Specifically, was it because gamers did not care about plots that game companies did not make plots? Or was it because game companies made trashy plots that gamers did not want to read?
This was a question of which came first, the chicken or the egg. It was hard to tell.
All in all, domestic games did not care about plots. That was the current state of affairs.
Not to mention within the country, even for some of the great AAA games overseas, there were very few players who would purposely look for the original works to read.
Ma Yiqun thought that Repent and be Saved's official plot was not bad. However, it should not have been so good, right?
Thus, Ma Yiqun did not expect this situation. He was very shocked.
He hurriedly and carefully studied the trick within.
Teacher Qiao's fan group was in the comments. Thus, Ma Yiqun followed the thread and found Teacher Qiao's video.
After watching it, Ma Yiqun suddenly understood.
So that was it. It was not just a problem with the plot!
The plots of foreign Triple-A games were indeed very good. However, the plot of games and novels were to a certain extent repetitive.
In fact, some of the plots in novels were not perfect. The games expanded on the foundation of the plot.
In terms of content, if it was a 7, then the game would be a 10.
Taking into account that games were highly interactive and had strong graphics, they were much more expressive than simple words. Therefore, the actual difference between games and games would be even greater.
Most players wouldn't want to read the original work because it was at most a shrunken version of the game.
However, Repent and be Saved was completely different!
The plot in the game was secretive. If the plot in the original novel was 10 points, then the game was only around 5 points.
Moreover, there were many plots in the game that only revealed the tip of the iceberg, leaving foreshadowing in the description of the items and so on.
On the other hand, Repent and be Saved was a very good game. It was very meaningful. Players resonated strongly with the characters in the game as they played. Naturally, players were very interested in the game's plot!
When they encountered some unresolved plot, they would naturally come to the official website to solve their own confusion.
Ma Yiqun could not help but feel emotional. Wonderful!
Why didn't we think of this when we were writing the official story?
Ma Yiqun didn't pay much attention to the plot or the official website. Zhu Xingan had been very passionate. Otherwise, the official website would not have kept updating the game.
"I didn't pay much attention to such an important matter. I almost delayed Boss Pei's plans. I shouldn't have done that.
"It looks like Zhu Xingan is indeed a promising talent.
"Wait, now is not the time to think about this. I have to hurry up and keep this popularity!"
Ma Yiqun suddenly realized a very important problem: as the CEO of Zhongdian Chinese Network, it was time for him to play a role!
It wasn't easy for Boss Pei to use the game to attract so many new users and readers to Zhongdian Chinese Network. He had to keep them here!
Ma Yiqun knew very well that Repent and be Saved would continue to attract traffic to the website for a period of time. In the next few days or even weeks, the website's traffic would continue to increase.
However, this traffic would be illusory. Most people only wanted to read Repent and be Saved's official website. It was hard to say how many people would stay.
Therefore, he had to think of a way to keep all these people here!
Ma Yiqun made a prompt decision and called Zhu Xingan over.
"Quick, quickly arrange for the operations staff to come up with an operational activity. We have to try to keep all these new readers here!
"Didn't the website have an activity for new users to read freely? Build on that foundation and increase the intensity!
"Do it according to the game's seven-day log in period."
Ma Yiqun was worried that Zhu Xingan was not clear about the seven-day log in period, so he explained in detail.
For a game, as long as players persisted in logging in for the first seven days, they would basically form a habit and stay.
Web-based and mobile games had to rack their brains to make players stay. Thus, they came up with a seven-day log in system. Simply put, within seven days of players starting the game, they would arrange activities for players every day and give them very good rewards. That way, they would develop the habit of logging in.
One had to say that although this was old-fashioned, it was very useful.
Otherwise, it would not have slowly developed into a standard for almost all web-based and mobile games.
"Arrange activities for readers every day. For example, after they read for a certain amount of time, add some books to their collection, and so on.
"These activities don't have to be too difficult. Just move your fingers slightly.
"As for the rewards, the rewards on the second and seventh days are the most important. The rewards on the seventh day are the best. The rewards on the second day are slightly worse, but they have to be sufficiently attractive.
"Do you have any good ideas?"
Ma Yiqun looked at Zhu Xingan.
Zhu Xingan pondered for a moment. "How about a week of free reading on the second day and a month of free reading on the seventh day?
"Er … that's a little repetitive." Ma Yiqun shook his head. "What's more, for most readers, there's not much difference between a week of free reading and a month of free reading.
"If they like to read on our website, they would stay after a week of free reading. If they don't like to read on our website, a month of free reading would be useless.
"We still lack some more exciting rewards."
Zhu Xingan pondered for a moment. "How about we do some interactive activities with the game? Since they came from the game, they would definitely be more concerned about the game. "
Ma Yiqun clapped. "Alright! That's a good idea!
"Let's do some interactive activities with the game. It would definitely be very attractive to players!
"What's more, we don't need any additional funds, and we don't need to report this to Boss Pei. I can just let Li Yada know in private.
"That's settled, then. We'll get three days of free reading on the first day, seven days of free reading on the second day, and the game's interactive props on the seventh day.
"We'll also get rewards when we log in at other times. We'll get Zhongdian Network coins, coupons, and the like."
Zhu Xingan nodded. "Alright, I'll tell the operations staff now. Hurry up and come up with an activity plan."
Zhongdian Chinese Network's employees immediately perked up.
Soldiers were trained for a thousand days to be used in a single moment. Boss Pei had brought so much traffic to the website. If they could not retain it, they would have let Boss Pei down. They would have to pack up and leave!
Ma Yiqun sent a message to Li Yada to discuss the interactive activities between the game and the website in detail.

At Upwind Logistics headquarters …
At the moment, Pei Qian had opened more than a hundred Upwind Courier stations. He was about to open more than two hundred.
These Upwind Courier stations were scattered in various regions of Jingzhou City. However, they still had to have a unique office area for daily work such as clerical work.
Upwind Logistics' headquarters was located on the second floor of a shop. An Upwind Courier station had been opened below for daily deliveries. The second floor was Upwind Logistics' office area.
Once Upwind Logistics expanded further, they would definitely move to another office area.
Pei Qian went straight to the second floor to look for Lu Mingliang.
Lu Mingliang was adapting to his new job quite well. There were many documents on his desk, and his laptop had been replaced by a thin and light business laptop. He looked quite professional.
"Boss Pei, it's such a small matter. Why did you come personally?" Lu Mingliang stood up to welcome Pei Qian and poured some tea for him.
Pei Qian sipped his tea and sat on the sofa to catch his breath.
Obviously, Lu Mingliang knew nothing about Boss Pei's situation.
What did he mean by 'such a small matter'?
This was not a small matter!
My life depends on Fish-Catching Internet Cafe and the Upwind Courier station!
If not for Fish-Catching Internet Cafe and Upwind Courier stations, Boss Pei might have been on the rooftop by now.
Of course, Boss Pei had always been one to remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him. Naturally, he maintained his composure and sipped his tea in silence.
"How are things going with the Upwind Courier stations?"
Lu Mingliang was already prepared. "Don't worry, Boss Pei. I've already made arrangements for the new Upwind Courier stations. I'm thinking of hiring people and renting space at the same time. We'll definitely open the Upwind Courier stations as soon as possible! "
As Lu Mingliang spoke, he took out a ready-made report and reported the locations and layout of the new courier stations to Pei Qian in detail. He also reported on the recruitment advertisements and the recruitment progress.
Pei Qian was a little surprised.
Pei Qian had come personally to supervise the work because he was afraid that Lu Mingliang would not be able to understand his urgency.
However, after listening to Lu Mingliang's report, Pei Qian realized that he had been overthinking.
Lu Mingliang was very reliable!
It looked like transferring Lu Mingliang to Upwind Logistics was the right decision.
That was because Lu Mingliang was an obedient person. No matter what Boss Pei said, he would carry it out very faithfully. He would never act on his own.
Now that he had handed Upwind Logistics, which was his lifeline, to Lu Mingliang, Pei Qian felt much more at ease.
After Lu Mingliang finished his report, he smiled and said, "Boss Pei, is there a deeper meaning to the layout of Upwind Logistics this time?"
Pei Qian was stunned.
Deeper meaning? What deeper meaning?
The deeper meaning is that if I don't spend more money, I'll be finished!
Pei Qian remained silent for a moment. "Why do you ask?"
Lu Mingliang had an 'I understand' expression on his face. "If not for the fact that these Upwind Courier stations affect the layout of the future, why would Boss Pei be so anxious to open them in such a short time?"
Pei Qian pondered for a moment. Oh, that's right.
From Lu Mingliang's perspective, the Upwind Courier stations were not that effective. Whether they were opened a month earlier or a month later, the impact would not be that great.
Yet, why was Boss Pei so concerned?
Obviously, it was closely related to the layout of the future!
Pei Qian sipped his tea and nodded slightly, silently agreeing with Lu Mingliang.
You can think whatever you want. In any case, I'll thank the heavens if you can help me open these Upwind Courier stations as soon as possible and spend all the money I have on hand as soon as possible.
After finishing his tea, Pei Qian relaxed. He gave Lu Mingliang a few more reminders and told him to make every second count. Then, he turned and left.
