Chen Yu also smiled; this employee was truly good.
He knew to think for his boss.
He comforted them, saying, "Don't worry, competitive games aren't afraid of being free. What competitive games need most is popularity. Once the popularity is hyped up, we'll have plenty of ways to make money.
And I remember... once this Dungeon qualifies, it will appear on the recommendation slots of other towns, right?"
Li Yunque nodded, "Yes, but this foreign server recommendation list has already been jokingly called the 'Poison List' by people, and its reputation is even worse than the local recommendation list."
There are many reasons for this situation.
The most important factor, in fact, is that most salespeople have never thought about promotion.
Not everyone wants to spend decades on this path, competing to be the Adventurer's Guild president.
Whether they get elected or not is one thing; just enduring it alone can kill someone.
Therefore, this has led to salespeople with the right to be on the foreign server recommendation list only wanting to slack off and make quick money.
They would cooperate with certain Dungeon Lords to put up some Dungeons that aren't played much locally, to scam money from other towns.
They'd scam whatever they could.
When one person did this, others followed suit.
It got worse and worse.
Finally, it became a rotten list that no one visited.
"But precisely because of this situation, it should be free, shouldn't it?"
Chen Yu said with a smile.
"Then what's our way of making money?"
Li Ruoshu was still more concerned about this point. "Even competitive Dungeons can get boring after playing for a long time. If we try to switch to a paid model later, I'm afraid no one will come, right?"
"That's true, so this Dungeon still can't charge a fee, but..."
Speaking of which, Chen Yu smiled slightly, "First, answer me a question: If there was a competition among various towns right now, ranking towns based on game wins and losses, would you be willing to spend attempts to participate?"
"Of course, I would. I'd at least go to join the fun," Li Ruoshu said without hesitation.
"What if we added a solo ranking to that ranking, telling everyone who contributed how many ranking points to a certain town, and how much effort they put in?"
"Then I'd definitely take first place," Li Ruoshu said confidently.
"Okay, so my way of making money is here."
Chen Yu stood up and said:
"Once this Dungeon qualifies in Tide Town, I'll introduce a ranked mode in addition to the free mode, and then create a regional leaderboard.
The free mode still won't consume attempts and won't count points.
But the ranked mode will consume one attempt, and each match will only be against Adventurers from outside the town.
Individual scores will be calculated based on wins and losses in each game, and then regional scores will be calculated from the sum of individual scores.
The game leaderboard will have individual, regional, and regional individual rankings, displayed on the Dungeon's entrance interface.
At the same time, we'll give the top three individual players in each regional ranking a Dungeon entry notification, like 'The strongest Adventurer XXX from 【Town Name】 has entered the Dungeon'.
We'll also add a suffix identifier to the name of every Adventurer from the strongest town, and ideally, this suffix identifier should flash once in every game.
Hmm...
When they win, it should flash even brighter."
In a few words, Chen Yu laid out his future plans.
It's still in the drafting stage, some parts will be abbreviated, and details might change, but the overall direction remains the same.
After listening to him.
The other three immediately fell into a daze.
They weren't foolish.
After a brief thought, they quickly realized what a craze this Dungeon would stir up among the various towns once it qualified.
First, attract a large number of Adventurers with a free model.
Then, use the leaderboard to ignite the competitive spirit of Adventurers from each town.
Finally, charge through this method, consuming players' attempts, and simultaneously harvesting soul crystals.
Brilliant!
It's truly brilliant!
Li Yunque couldn't help but stand up.
Clapping vigorously.
His eyes filled with amazement.
"Lord Chen, if your Dungeon doesn't become popular, it's an injustice."
Chen Yu smiled faintly, "Actually, it's nothing; these are just small tricks, all thanks to my peers making me look good."
This was the truth.
In his previous life, such a small trick wouldn't even cause a ripple online.
But here.
It truly echoed that saying.
All business partners are XX!
In a situation where all Lords were trying every possible way to harvest soul crystals, and all Dungeons online were paid.
Chen Yu's single move of a free Dungeon already surpassed everyone.
"It's just a pity, there's still one flaw..."
Chen Yu said with some regret at the end.
"A flaw?"
Li Yunque's eyes showed confusion. He tried hard to recall everything but couldn't find where the flaw was.
He couldn't help but ask, "Where's the flaw?"
He then heard Chen Yu say:
"The flaw is that after enabling payment, only three people can die each time, and one remains alive, so the profit margin is only 75%... What a loss."
...
The other three were immediately stunned.
All in all.
This test at Liar Tavern ended perfectly.
Li Yunque and Li Ruopu were already eager to go back and put this Dungeon on the recommendation list.
And Li Ruoshu also knew that her current task was to conquer more territories, and when Liar Tavern qualified and entered the foreign server recommendation lists of multiple towns, she needed to build more Dungeons.
This way, they could earn more soul crystals.
Li Ruoshu was already full of anticipation for the future of the territory.
Back in the territory.
Chen Yu first sent Li Ruoshu into the Resident Evil Dungeon to comprehend the T-Virus.
Improving strength is always the most important thing.
In the Dark World, true combat power is never about the combat power index; the combat power index is a manifestation of reaching a certain level or quality of strength.
When it comes to actual fighting, equipment, talent skills, general skills, and attribute enhancement are all crucial.
As the enemy's quality strengthens, their talent skills and general skills will also become more powerful.
Moreover, the number of enemies will also increase, especially when the War Lord spawns troops in the later stages, it will become very troublesome.
Although theoretically, the number of Contract Adventurer is infinite, as long as you have enough Lord-type territories.
But Chen Yu didn't plan to raise too many people.
Soldiers are about quality, not quantity. Contract Adventurer have the ability of infinite resurrection, eternal life. Under such an ability,
Of course, the stronger the individual strength, the better. Spreading resources to raise them is not ideal.
Each territory only needs to recruit five main players.
Others can be raised casually to provide support.
Therefore.
Chen Yu's requirement for Li Ruoshu and the others was to comprehend the strongest T-Virus skills as much as possible.
Give up on learning weak ones.
If they were going to learn, they had to learn the strongest ones. Skills have six tiers: white, green, blue, purple, orange, and red. At least the comprehended talent skills must reach purple quality or above.
As for the consumed Junior Comprehension Skill Books?
"Don't worry about using them, big brother has money, spend as much as you want," Chen Yu said, after exchanging for 20 more skill books.
