Huang Sibo could not help but feel happy and amused at the same time.
So, that was the reason!
He had nearly forgotten that Lin Wan was part of the Bullet Hole project team back when she was at Sun Strike Studios – that was an FPS game as well!
At that time, Lin Wan was an intern without much work experience. That was the reason why Zhou Muyan had arranged for her to liaise with the testers that were selected from the core FPS gamers.
Those testers did not have to work at Sun Strike Studios – all they had to do was to receive the Bullet Hole beta pack from their own homes and experience the game in depth.
After that, those testers would write down their own gaming experiences in detail and submit their opinions to Lin Wan. She would then collate them and provide feedback to the project team.
The project team would then make improvements to Bullet Hole based on those opinions.
But of course, Sun Strike Studios was so rich that they would definitely pay a sum of money, unlike Tengda where Huang Sibo was just trying to get a free ride.
Lin Wan was in charge of receiving the testers' gaming experiences daily and naturally got to know them after chatting a little.
In other words, for Tengda to be able to find these people was akin to Sun Strike planting trees for Tengda to enjoy the shade …
Huang Sibo only wanted to say that this was a free ride for them …
That's great!
"I'll leave it to you then. Contact as many gamers who love FPS games as possible to try out the game. We'll give a commemorative Desert Eagle in-game as a reward for every gamer!"
"Other than that, we'll consider increasing the reward for those gamers who pull in more people. If they pull in 100 gamers, we'll give them a permanent epic weapon!"
"Alternatively, you can pick out some outstanding gamers and give them a permanent epic weapon as a reward as well."
Huang Sibo's offer was rather conservative.
He could not give monetary rewards. However, as the chief planner, he had the authority to manage the backend and give out firearms or vouchers to designated gamers.
Even though a permanent epic weapon was expensive at 888 yuan each, it was nothing more than a statistic to the gaming company.
If a gamer could really pull in 100 gamers to try out the game or if a fatal bug was discovered, it would be reasonable for them to be given a permanent epic weapon.
"Alright, leave it to me!" Lin Wan agreed right away.
This was her first mission in Tengda and it wasn't difficult. That was why she had to complete it seriously!
Immediately, Lin Wan contacted the FPS gamers' group owners.
The first was a group admin called Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand.
Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand, real name Chen Sha, was a veteran FPS gamer. He was a well-known figure in the Counter Strike community and the leader of a player group (or rather, his own fan group).
His group had 2000 members, and there were hundreds of them who were very active.
Over at Sun Strike Studios, Chen Sha's opinions were highly valued and many of the changes were made according to his suggestions.
However, Lin Wan only knew his name. She could vaguely feel that he was a person who didn't lack money in real life. As for other specific information, such as what he did, she didn't know.
"Old Chen, stop lurking. Help me test a game!" Lin Wan and Chen Sha were more familiar with each other. Therefore, she cut to the chase and went straight to the point.
Soon, the other party replied.
"Isn't Bullet Hole already done with testing and ready to be released? Are there any follow-up requirements? "Chen Sha asked casually.
Lin Wan explained, "It's not Bullet Hole, it's another game. Sigh, I haven't told you yet. I've already resigned from Sun Strike Studios. "
Chen Sha: "… You're showing off by leaving the game right after it's released. I heard that the developers of the game get a lot of bonuses after it's released. Aren't you just against money?"
"What bonuses? That's not important. Let me tell you, my company is way better than Sun Strike Studios now! Sigh, cut the crap. Hurry up and help me test the game, "Lin Wan urged.
Chen Sha: "Alright. Is the price the same as Sun Strike Studios? 500 for each test? "
"Oh, no. I'll give you a limited edition Desert Eagle as a reward after the test, "Lin Wan replied honestly.
The other party did not reply for a long time.
Chen Sha was stunned.
'What do you mean? Isn't the difference a little too huge?
'Aren't you just freeloading me?!'
Sun Strike Studios wanted Chen Sha to help test the game. No matter how many questions he raised, as long as he could point out a problem, he would be rewarded 500 yuan!
After all, as a godly gamer, Chen Sha could sense minute differences that ordinary gamers would not be able to. His evaluation was irreplaceable.
Bullet Hole was a game that catered to hardcore gamers and Chen Sha could be considered the representative of hardcore gamers. It wouldn't be too much to pay him more.
Of course, 500 yuan was a little too expensive. It was understandable that the new company was reluctant to pay him.
However, 400 or 300 yuan would be fine too, wouldn't it?
There was no reward at all, only a limited edition Desert Eagle in the game?
'Are you kidding me? Who would want that lousy Desert Eagle?
That's just a virtual number in the game! '
Chen Sha felt his balls ache. However, he did not blacklist Lin Wan out of anger since he knew her from before.
"Isn't your new company a little too stingy? You're not giving me a single cent for testing? Are you trying to freeload me? "Chen Sha was speechless.
"Stingy? No, no, no! I swear on my honor that this company is definitely not stingy! Not only are they not stingy, they're incredibly generous! "
"Uh … I know this isn't very convincing, but I'm definitely not lying to you!"
"How about this? As long as you do the testing seriously, I'll apply for a permanent epic weapon in addition to the limited edition Desert Eagle!" Lin Wan tried her best to convince Chen Sha.
Chen Sha was still uninterested. "You're crazy! Who would want a weapon in the game? Besides, how much could a permanent Epic-ranked weapon be worth? One or two hundred RMB at most. This was far from the price I was expecting, wasn't it? Let me tell you, anything less than 300 yuan is out of the question. "
"As far as I know, a permanent epic weapon in the game is sold for 888 yuan …" Lin Wan said after thinking for a while.
Chen Sha, "?"
“？？”
"How much did you say?"
“888？ Coupons or RMB? "
Lin Wan replied, "Of course it's yuan."
Chen Sha moved his face closer to the computer screen and took a closer look.
There was no mistake. There was no decimal point in the middle of 888 yuan!
Crazy! He's really crazy!
An epic weapon for 888 yuan?
Why don't you just rob a bank?
With such a high price, would any idiot really buy it?
Why do I feel that this game and the company that developed this game are so unreliable?
Chen Sha was speechless for a long time.
After two minutes, he replied, "Send the game to me, and I'll take a look. Let me say this first. If this game is too trashy, don't blame me for being disloyal. I really can't help you. "
Actually, Chen Sha was not moved by Lin Wan's words.
He was just curious and wanted to see what a weapon that was sold for 888 yuan looked like.
"The game is called Ocean Stronghold. It's available in the official game store." Lin Wan was full of confidence. "Don't worry. Although I haven't played this game, I believe it will be a very successful game because the person who created it is the most idealistic genius designer in the country!"
Chen Sha, "…"
Chen Sha was skeptical about the term "the most idealistic genius designer".
He was mainly speechless about the name Ocean Stronghold.
