"NetEase agreed."
"Okay."
Chen Yu nodded. "From now on, we'll start promoting Journey to the West."
NetEase started out as an email and portal company.
As one of the three major portals, NetEase had been doing well in recent years and had even gone public in the US.
It was just an internet bubble, but it caused major internet companies to suffer heavy losses.
The one that suffered the most losses was the internet advertising business.
At this moment, NetEase urgently needed to open up another battlefield.
For this reason, NetEase set its sights on online games and launched its first game, Journey to the West.
Unfortunately, Journey to the West was not as popular as Legend.
Since the launch of Journey to the West, there were only 10,000 players online at the same time.
Now, there were only a few thousand.
There were even rumors that NetEase's management was preparing to remake Journey to the West.
However, this was an opportunity for Chen Yu.
Journey to the West 1 was not as good as Journey to the West 2, but it was not that bad.
The reason why it was not as popular, other than the many bugs, was because of the lack of promotion.
Furthermore, was Legend of Mir really that fun?
Not really.
There was no such thing as the most fun game in the world.
However, the more players there were, the more fun the game would become.
Therefore, this was in line with Chen Yu's promotion — to increase the number of players online at the same time.
"Are we still writing advertisements?"
"Yes."
"We're good at this. I'll go and collect more guides for Journey to the West."
"No."
Chen Yu shook his head. "We're trying to attract new players. These guides are useless for new players."
"Then what should we do?"
"Let's do a beauty plan."
"Beauty plan?"
Zhang Jianming shook his head.
"Haha, that's easy. Contact NetEase and tell them to prepare a Journey to the West beauty ranking."
"Eh, that's not bad."
Zhang Jianming's eyes lit up.
Although Zhang Jianming didn't know what the Beauty Plan meant, when he saw the words "Beauty Leaderboard", he knew that it would be extremely attractive to gamers.
"Alright, I'll do it right away."
As the saying goes.
What was the game that attracted players the most?
Other than the game itself, there was also the beauty.
In his previous life, there were countless games that became popular because of beautiful women.
It could be said that wherever there were beauties, that place would be popular.
As Journey to the West was a turn-based game, it was naturally suitable for female players.
Therefore, Chen Yu's first plan was a beautiful woman.
NetEase responded quickly.
After Zhang Jianming told the Journey to the West project team about the beauty proposal, they made an announcement in the game.
[From today onwards, all female players can participate in the Journey to the West Beauty Ranking. The top ten players will be rewarded with 1,000 yuan and the title of Journey to the West Top Ten Beauties.]
One thousand yuan was not a lot.
Most importantly, the title of 'Top Ten Beauties' was truly fatal.
Which beauty didn't want to be beautiful?
Which beauty wasn't vain?
With the title of 'Top Ten Beauties', it was definitely more eye-catching than driving a Ferrari.
"Beauty Ranking, wow, I have to participate."
"As a beauty, I have to participate too."
"Aiyo, what beauty ranking? That's so embarrassing. But I'll participate."
One after another, in-game photos and ID verification methods were sent to the 5173 forum.
Moreover, the 5173 forum also opened a voting function for this beauty ranking.
The top 100 players with the highest number of votes would enter the competition for the title of 'Top Ten Beauties'.
With the voting, there was naturally a canvass for votes.
"Well, dear, I'm participating in the Journey to the West Beauty Ranking. Can you vote for me?"
"Vote, vote, vote. It's a must."
"Why is there only one vote? Can you ask your buddies to vote for me too?"
"No problem, I'll ask my entire dorm to vote for you. No, I'll ask my entire class to vote for you."
The call of a beauty was truly terrifying.
Although there weren't many beauties participating in the competition, even if there were only a few hundred of them, she had already canvassed tens of thousands of votes. And the players who voted would more or less pay attention to Journey to the West because of this vote. After a while, some of his friends directly downloaded the Journey to the West app and began to try it out.
Of course.
In fact, the 5173 forum's beauty program wasn't just for the beauties to canvass for votes.
It wasn't just for the players who canvassed for votes to enter the game.
In any case, there weren't many people playing Journey to the West now. Even if there were canvassers, how many votes could they get?
Even if all of them were canvassed, there would only be tens of thousands of votes.
However, if the Journey to the West Top Ten Beauties were promoted and promoted, then his influence would be terrifying.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect Journey to the West to have so many beauties."
"This beauty is not bad. She has an oval face. I like it."
"You look like a vixen. I like this one. She's dressed like a student. She looks so pure."
"I don't like this kind of green apple. I like this one. Look, she looks like a young married woman."
"Wow, this little girl in Han costume is so beautiful. I really want to be friends with her."
Looking at these photos, a group of onlooking netizens commented from time to time.
"Ahhh, I can't take it anymore. I want to play Journey to the West."
"You don't want to play Legend of Mir?"
"Play my ass. Legend of Mir is a bunch of men. I don't want to play. I want to go to Journey to the West and pick up girls."
"Damn, that's a good idea. I'll go too."
Most of the people who played games were otakus.
Not to mention that these photos were of beauties, even if they were ordinary female players, they were extremely thirsty.
Although there were female players in other games, they were in the minority after all.
Even if the base of Legend of Mir was large and there were many beautiful players, there was no promotion.
Now, Journey to the West was the first to promote the beauties.
Such a big move. How could these single men stand such a big move?
"Brothers, let's go, let's go play Journey to the West together."
"Well, I heard that Journey to the West is a turn-based game. There's no need to always play. You can chat as much as you want while fighting monsters and pick up girls."
"Wow, so good?"
"That's a must. I'm already in the game. The person I'm teaming up with is a beauty."
"Damn, beast. Let go of that girl and let me do it."
Journey to the West was different from games like Legend of Mir.
Games like Legend of Mir tended to be solo, but Journey to the West was basically teaming up. It was even necessary to team up.
And most of the time, there were five people in a team.
The probability of meeting a beauty among the five people was not too high. It could even be said to be 100%.
