To dispel the doubts in his heart, after much deliberation, Li Ruopu couldn't help but say, "Yu Ge, if it's promised to be permanently free, then how will we earn revenue from Feichi Town? If there are no entry requirements, I'm afraid there will be a large number of freeloaders, affecting our revenue progress, right?"
Earning revenue by charging for entry attempts has been the most common business model for Dungeons for hundreds of years.
After all, Adventurers only receive soul crystals after consuming attempts and dying.
It's still rare for a Dungeon Lord like Chen Yu to let Adventurers consume attempts and die first, then grant them tickets for entry after they obtain soul crystals.
So far, only You Xiaoxiao of Gourmet Town has done this.
It's not that Li Ruopu doesn't know they can charge for various items within the Dungeon, but the problem is...
If entry is completely free, there will be many freeloaders.
These freeloaders will certainly occupy over ninety percent of the population capacity, affecting the entry of Adventurers who are willing to spend, making it still very difficult to earn soul crystals.
The population capacity of a Dungeon is limited; it simply cannot accommodate an unlimited number of people.
If they were to frantically open new Dungeons just for these freeloaders, it would be somewhat counterproductive.
Hearing Li Ruopu's question, Chen Yu smiled lightly, "That's true; freeloaders are an unavoidable thing. But if a Dungeon is fun enough, Adventurers will definitely scramble to get in, so we just need to implement the following two preventative measures."
"First, we'll introduce a live streaming mode. As we saw with the last black myth: wukong, if a Dungeon is fun and appealing enough, Adventurers themselves will spontaneously supervise the Adventurers inside the Dungeon and try every means to urge them to leave quickly."
"At that time, masters of rhythm will naturally appear to criticize freeloaders who don't pay. If that doesn't work, we can have Adventurers from our town set the pace, and this trend will definitely catch on."
"Second, we'll change the Dungeon's queuing order based on the amount of happy coins spent. That is to say, the more happy coins accumulated and spent in our Great Xia Nevernight City, the further ahead one will be in the queue. Those who haven't spent even one happy coin will only be able to accept being infinitely cut in line."
"Over time, these Adventurers will naturally be compelled to spend, otherwise they won't even be able to enter the door, let alone freeload inside."
Chen Yu finished explaining his ideas.
Upon hearing this, Li Ruopu couldn't help but be stunned, and after a long while, he burst out laughing.
"Yu Ge, I have to say, you're truly amazing!"
He gave a thumbs up and said, "Two small decisions directly make countless freeloaders stomp their feet in impatience outside!"
Among these two preventative measures, the most important one is, of course, the second one: restricting the queue.
However, the live streaming mode is key to attracting Adventurers from Feichi Town to play this Dungeon.
Only by showcasing the content will Adventurers from Feichi Town become interested and have the desire to spend money.
And the setting where Adventurers who have spent more happy coins accumulate a higher priority in the queue almost completely blocks the path of Adventurers attempting to freeload.
If you're not willing to spend money, then you'll have to endure being infinitely cut in line, and after being cut repeatedly, an entire day might pass...
Thinking of this, Li Ruopu scratched his head and asked a bit awkwardly, "Yu Ge, you just said to have Adventurers from our town set the pace. Does that mean... this Dungeon will also be launched in our Tidal Town?"
He had always thought this Dungeon was designed specifically for Feichi Town.
But now it sounds like that's not the case.
Chen Yu said as a matter of course, "Of course! We're not doing the recommendation slot system anymore; any Dungeon will be launched in Tidal Town. Besides, without Adventurers from Tidal Town and Deep Sea Town, how can we make the Adventurers from Feichi Town so eager to cut in line that they can't stop?"
"So eager to cut in line that they can't stop..."
Hearing this phrase, Li Ruopu was momentarily stunned.
He quickly reacted, however, and revealed a knowing smile, "I see! Yu Ge, I'm already looking forward to the moment this Dungeon goes live."
"It seems you understand now. Go give President He your reply. The first shot towards Feichi Town should be fired."
"Alright, Yu Ge!"
Li Ruopu obeyed and left the reception room.
Chen Yu then turned back to designing his Dungeon.
Chen Yu had actually already revealed the ultimate mode of this Dungeon: using Titans from Titanfall as vehicles, allowing Adventurers to pilot Titans and experience speed and passion on various planets.
But that was the ultimate mode...
There are many types of racing games, and the choices are wide.
Chen Yu didn't plan to release this ultimate mode so quickly. Adventurers' thresholds needed to be raised little by little, and the worldview also needed to be slowly refined.
Directly letting them experience future space battles sometimes doesn't have as good an effect.
It's better to start with the basics...
After much contemplation, Chen Yu finally named this Dungeon "Feichi Life," to be used specifically for 'racing type' Dungeons in the future.
And the first mode within it was "Road Rash."
Road Rash is also considered a relatively traditional racing game. Players race motorcycles through the city, and whoever reaches the finish line first becomes the champion.
However, during this process, players can use various violent methods to attack opponents.
For example, kicking with feet, using iron rods, or various other weapons.
There are no restrictions; the winner takes all.
During this process, there will also be various obstacles on the road, such as cars, pedestrians, and so on.
Considering both excitement and humanity, when designing this Dungeon, Chen Yu decided to set the background directly in Raccoon City from Resident Evil.
On one hand, he could directly use maps from the normal mode, greatly reducing time.
On the other hand, the presence of zombies could greatly stimulate Adventurers' adrenaline, and at the same time, they could attack these zombies without any psychological burden.
Then, Tyrants, Tank Zombies, Lickers, and so on would make guest appearances.
And thus, a Dungeon was completed.
