Zhongdian Chinese Network, the introduction of the game's details page, and Tengda Games' official Weibo all updated their announcements at the same time. Soon, gamers paid close attention to them.
"Eh? Repent and be Saved's official website is working together with a website? "
"Isn't that the website that's serializing the official novel?"
"The rewards for this event are too good! Not only can we read freely on the website, but there's also a reward in the game. "
"Disguise pill? I can change the character model? Holy sh * t, don't stop me. I'm going to get this item! "
"What's more, the accounts are connected? That's good. I don't have to register another account. "
"I've been paying attention to this website. At first, the books were rubbish. However, there are a few new books that look pretty good. They're not worse than the quality books on Infinite Chinese Network. I can read them when I'm bored."
"For the disguise pill, charge!"
The gamers' response was rather enthusiastic.
At the end of the day, the rewards were good!
The character in Repent and be Saved was just an ordinary male. There was no face-shaping segment for now. After all, Pei Qian wanted to use this point to dissuade those who liked appearances.
That way, being able to change the character model became very important!
There were some NPCs in the game that looked similar to the main character, especially female NPCs.
Gamers were excited when they heard that they could change the character model to these girls!
Of course, female NPCs in such a world would not be very good-looking. They were worlds apart from the little bumpkins who were good at this.
However, that was the story of the game. Gamers were used to seeing demons and ghosts. Any female NPC could achieve the same effect as a sow competing with Diaochan.
Thus, a large number of gamers went to Zhongdian Chinese Network to complete missions, waiting to receive the disguise pill in seven days.
It was such a good item that cost nothing and could be obtained after logging in for seven days. It would be a waste not to take it!
On the other hand, a batch of outstanding authors appeared on Zhongdian Chinese Network.
Under the tireless guidance of the editors, there would always be some lousy authors who would be enlightened and write some good novels.
Ma Yiqun would use the data to discover these good seedlings and use Boss Pei's subsidies to supplement the authors' remuneration. That would allow them to earn as much as other large websites and greatly motivate the authors.
During the event, many authors started to upload new chapters, further increasing the readers' stickiness.
Hence, there were works and readers. Zhongdian Chinese Network naturally embarked on a positive cycle!
Many players who were already readers of Infinite Chinese Network were also happy to bookmark another page and follow two different websites at the same time.
With readers paying, the website would no longer have to rely on Boss Pei's subsidies. Slowly, it would be able to bear its own profits and losses.
Ma Yiqun felt gratified as he watched the number of readers on the website increase.
"Report this good news to Boss Pei!"
Ma Yiqun proudly dialed Boss Pei's number.
"Hello …?"
Boss Pei sounded nasally on the other end of the line.
Ma Yiqun was stunned. "Boss Pei, have you caught a cold? I'm sorry, I shouldn't have bothered you. "
Every Tengda employee was very concerned about Boss Pei's health. After all, he was everyone's guide.
Pei Qian, "… I'm fine. Is the website facing some difficulties? Quick, tell me. "
Ma Yiqun did not know if he had heard wrongly or if it was a psychological effect, but he felt like Boss Pei's tone was tinged with anticipation.
Looking forward to the website running into difficulties?
That's impossible. Boss Pei's voice must have changed after he fell sick. That must be an illusion.
Ma Yiqun could not help but smile. "Boss Pei, I do have good news!
"From next month onwards, we won't have to subsidize the website's authors so much anymore! I plan to return a portion of it before the end of the month. In another three or four months, Zhongdian Chinese Network might be completely self-sufficient! "
Boss Pei remained silent for a long time. Then, he said, "Huh?"
Ma Yiqun continued speaking. "Boss Pei, you've been very effective in helping Zhongdian Chinese Network attract readers through Repent and be Saved!
"During this period, a large number of players have surged into Zhongdian Chinese Network. That has brought quite a lot of popularity to the website.
"That's why I thought about it and created a joint effort with Li Yada. At the moment, it looks like the results are quite good!
"Not only have the number of registered users and active users increased, but some of the readers have also increased significantly. That means that many players are not just coming over to take a look at the official website before leaving. Instead, they are really staying and becoming our website's readers!
"With these top-up readers, the website's income will definitely be greatly improved in the near future. That's why we won't have to subsidize the authors so much anymore.
"That's why I'm thinking of sending a portion of the money back to Tengda. That way, we can spend it on more meaningful things …"
Before Ma Yiqun could finish his sentence, Boss Pei had already rejected him.
"No need!
Please don't! "
Ma Yiqun, "Huh?"
Pei Qian cleared his throat and calmed down. "The money is not important.
Repent and be Saved is selling so well. Why are you still worried that Tengda will not have enough money?
"Zhongdian Chinese Network, on the other hand, needs money more!
"How far are we now? We've only just seen the hope of turning losses into profits. We're still far from becoming a real online literature giant like Infinite Chinese Network!
"Keep the money and don't send it back.
"No matter what you think of this month, you have to spend it all!
"New readers are coming. Shouldn't we give them some benefits?
"The authors have worked so hard writing books. They've been generating electricity with love. Shouldn't we give them some compensation?
"The employees are so tired from working overtime. Shouldn't we organize a team-building activity to increase their cohesion?
"Why don't you find a few more programs, improve the website, and optimize the mobile app? With so many readers flooding in at once, would the original server and bandwidth still be enough? If it's not enough, buy more.
"There are so many ways to spend money. Why are you thinking of being stingy? You're not spending your money. Why are you being so stingy?
"Spend it quickly. Ask me for more when you're done!"
After hearing Boss Pei's words, Ma Yiqun felt ashamed.
He was completely wrong!
Ma Yiqun wanted to turn the website's losses into profits as soon as possible so that Boss Pei could save money.
After all, the website had been burning money, including the editors' salaries, the website's operating expenses, and the authors' full attendance and subsidies.
This made Ma Yiqun very uneasy. He had been thinking about how to help Boss Pei earn back the money.
However, Boss Pei's words today woke him up.
Profits were important, but the development of the website was more important!
Zhongdian Chinese Network was part of Boss Pei's overall plan. It was still at a very small scale. Even if it turned losses into profits, it would only earn a little money. It could not be compared to a giant like Infinite Chinese Network.
From this perspective, Tengda Games was already in front, and Zhongdian Chinese Network was like a little brother following behind its big brother, blindly following suit.
There was no need to think about sharing Big Brother's worries at this time. The most important thing was to seize the time to grow.
Ma Yiqun was very touched. It was not only because Boss Pei had planned a bright future for Zhongdian Chinese Network, but also because Boss Pei trusted him so much!
"Alright, Boss Pei. I'll definitely spend this money on the development of the website. Don't worry!"
…
After hanging up, Pei Qian quietly turned on his computer to check on Zhongdian Chinese Network.
Although he could not see the website's background data, there were still some ways to reflect the popularity of the website.
He would know by clicking on a book on the homepage and looking at its book review section.
Originally, the book review sections of these books were either deserted or full of criticism. They looked quite miserable.
However, now, the book review sections of a few books on the homepage had become normal!
Some were urging readers to update, some were writing serious book reviews, and some were discussing the plot.
The various website data of these books, such as recommendation votes, collections, and the like, had all increased significantly.
It was not just one or two books, but most of the books on the homepage!
Pei Qian knew very well that there was no fake news on Zhongdian Chinese Network at the moment. Those books with malicious data would be removed once they were discovered. It was impossible for them to be hung on the homepage so openly.
In other words, the books on the homepage were all real data. The number of readers was indeed increasing!
That was not the worst part.
Pei Qian was surprised to find that the homepage seemed to have improved greatly in terms of theme, rhythm, and writing style compared to before!
Pei Qian had read a few articles on Zhongdian Chinese Network before. Basically, they were the worst of the worst. He did not know what they were talking about, and he would decisively abandon them after reading one or two chapters.
However, at least the books on the homepage looked like that now!
The title and introduction were more attractive, and the pace was obviously faster. The grasp of the cool points was also much better.
All in all, it was like a web novel!
It was no wonder that the data of these books had improved.
The huge influx of readers was only one reason. The more fundamental reason was that the quality of these books had improved. That was why readers could stay.
Of course, the quality of these books could not be considered very high. At most, they could only be considered top-notch on Infinite Chinese Network. However, they were already considered acceptable.
"What's going on?"
Pei Qian frowned slightly and realized the problem.
Ma Yiqun should not know web novels, right?
After all, he had written one flop after another. Obviously, his understanding of web novels was very different.
If Ma Yiqun did not know web novels, the editors that he had taught would not know either.
The entire editing team did not know web novels …
Then how did these seemingly good web novels end up on the homepage of the website?
Could it be based on data?
En, that was also possible …
Pei Qian had some doubts at first. Had he misjudged Ma Yiqun's real standard?
However, on further thought, readers were the biggest filter. Although Zhongdian Chinese Network did not have many readers at the moment, the filtering effect would not change.
Actually, Ma Yiqun did not need to read every book. All he had to do was pick the books with better data and keep recommending them.
"Forget it, forget it. I'm not thinking about these things.
"Settlement is coming soon. Zhongdian Chinese Network just have to spend all the money honestly. Why would they have time to care about these minor details?"
Pei Qian threw his cell phone on the bedside table, intending to enter ostrich mode.
All in all, he hoped that no one would bother him now. He wanted the various departments to quickly think of ways to spend the extra money they had earned. He did not want to burden Boss Pei.
Just as he was about to take an afternoon nap, his cell phone rang again.
He took his cell phone and saw that it was Assistant Xin.
"Boss Pei, the official platform wants to do an exclusive interview with you. They want to interview you about your journey in creating these games."
Pei Qian remained silent for a moment. "… I'm very busy. Can I not go?"
