36: Without hundreds of millions, it won't work.

The vast fan base would rise up in counterattack, not only leaving messages of support but also using technical means to dig up the information of the instigators behind the scenes and expose it publicly.

Therefore, those who spread false information gradually began to fear these powerful supporting forces.

The various negative articles launched online against Xu Lian and his creations also decreased significantly as a result.

Even individuals with a certain status dared not act rashly.

Because in today's highly interconnected era, especially for those who have some knowledge of computer skills, finding personal information is just too easy to do.

...

During this period, Xu Lian was not idle.

He had already completed all the content updates for Chapter 2 of Dungeon & Fighter, "Provocation of the Death God."

However, he was not in a rush to release this new version at the moment.

This period was currently the off-season for the gaming market.

The main player base of Dungeon & Fighter included students and office workers.

They usually chose evenings or holidays to enjoy the fun of the game.

Xu Lian planned to launch the new version in two months.

That would be during the summer vacation, when most students and employees would have a long break.

Once the holiday arrives, the number of customers in various fields tends to show significant growth.

Therefore, not only game companies but other industries also highly value this season.

Releasing new chapters and events at this time was clearly more ideal.

"Perhaps it is time to start considering recruiting some game Designers."

Xu Lian stared at the almost astronomical revenue records in the backend, muttering to himself thoughtfully.

Since the new chapter had already been developed, he would be able to free up his hands to work on other plans in the coming period.

In just three days, the platform had added over 20 million in recharge amounts.

All the revenue earned before this had already been transferred to his personal account.

Funding was not an issue, and at the same time, he did not need to complete the update tasks himself.

Therefore, Xu Lian planned to start looking for suitable candidates to join the team in the near future.

However, before that, an important issue needed to be resolved: the choice of a workplace.

That is, the space where his future colleagues would work daily.

He couldn't expect new hires to work by typing code in a rented small room like he did.

He was currently in an economically prosperous city in the country—Jianghai City.

The cost of living here was shockingly high.

To purchase a plot of land or an office building here, it wouldn't work without hundreds of millions.

Besides that, it would also require the support of an extensive network of connections to smoothly handle all these matters.

After all, regarding matters in the real estate circle, without an acquaintance to guide the way, one might face many risks.

Coupled with the necessary expenses for subsequent recruitment and technical investment, it was indeed a significant expenditure.

After a brief calculation, he found that even if he completed all his plans, his bank savings would be almost depleted.

However, to eventually retreat behind the scenes and profit easily, one must go through such a stage.

After all, the lessons of the past tell us that every successful person inevitably goes through a process of arduous struggle at the beginning.

"Why not start preparing the game design for crossfire first?"

In recent draws, he had obtained quite a bit of game-related information, especially the memory information for the first-person shooter game crossfire, which was particularly rich.

It was once regarded as the gunfight dream in the hearts of 300 million Chinese netizens.

This work also carried many people's beautiful memories of their youth in the past.

Even Xu Lian himself was extremely obsessed with it when he was a child.

He remembered that when he was an elementary school student, he was deeply addicted to this game and couldn't extricate himself.

Due to age restrictions, he couldn't officially enter internet cafes, so he could only sneak off with other little friends to illegally operated locations to share a screen and play together.

Although they were short on money at the time, they still tirelessly gathered around a single monitor, taking turns experiencing the fun of the game.

Although his skill level wasn't high at the time, he still persisted in challenging the biochemical confrontation mode, gradually accumulating experience, and eventually relied on his savings to purchase the powerful M60 submachine gun and achieved excellent results, which created a deeper emotional connection for him with the game.

Even though paid items were introduced later, attracting users to leave, whenever he had free time, he would never forget to log in and relive the joy brought by the classic battles.

Although there were many similar shooting products in this world, they appeared extremely backward and had no appeal whatsoever.

From this, it could be inferred that if it were replicated and introduced, it would definitely cause a sensation again and become a market hit.

"Should I just take action immediately?" Xu Lian felt slightly conflicted inside.

He had finally managed to secure a moment of relaxation; starting a new project would likely mean being busy for a while again.

Because there were still many matters waiting to be handled from the development to the official launch of crossfire.

At this moment, his WeChat sounded a notification; it turned out to be a message from Lin Shufen, asking if they could experience a game of dungeon together.

Since exchanging contact information at the press conference, the two had maintained frequent interaction and communication, occasionally visiting each other's live streaming rooms and gifting items as support.

"Okay."

After a brief thought, he decided to temporarily shelve the matters related to crossfire and leave himself some free time to enjoy life; that was what was needed at the moment.

Recalling that since transmigrating, he had never played to his heart's content, and hadn't even created his own personal account, he felt a little regret.

However, thinking back carefully, he had been busy maintaining software updates every day and simply had no time for leisure and entertainment; this was something that wealthy people often easily overlooked.

So, he immediately registered an account and logged into the server area to begin his initial exploration.

Thus, Xu Lian created a Ghost Swordsman class, directly leveled it up to the maximum level, and without even needing to complete the class advancement quest, he became a Red Eye.

"Hey, should I take this opportunity to do a teaser for the future version?"

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

Nowadays, many game companies, in order to attract players, had already started planning activities for the summer vacation.

Xu Lian thought to himself that he could also seize this opportunity to do some promotion for the upcoming new version.

No sooner said than done!

Xu Lian quickly opened the data backend of Dungeon & Fighter, his fingers flying across the keyboard.

shadowless sword, Soul Hunter, Pelos Glory, Ring of Fire Spirit, Space Controller set, War God's Assault Bracelet...

A series of hard-to-obtain rare equipment and artifacts were sent to Xu Lian's character account one after another.

After adjustments, the name of Xu Lian's Red Eye character was no longer Berserker, but had changed to Hell Blood Demon.

Even more noteworthy was that the Hell Blood Demon also mastered a skill that a normal Berserker did not possess: Demonic Blood Hell!

This was the Berserker's awakening skill!
