44: It also provides more opportunities to make money

"Level 12 Female Mage seeking help. I died in the Ice Dragon dungeon. Can anyone carry me?"

Two days later, Xu Lian finally found his desired office location and purchased it for 350 million yuan.

Originally, this place was priced at over 400 million yuan and was in an excellent location, not easily acquired by ordinary people.

Initially, Xu Lian planned to first perfect crossfire before considering anything else.

However, yesterday, the real estate agent responsible for selling this area called him, offering to lower the price for Xu Lian and provide additional preferential terms.

At first, Xu Lian had some concerns, as real estate deals are notoriously complex, but after repeatedly checking the contract, he found that the terms were indeed as stated, with no hidden traps.

Only then did he decide to sign the agreement, closing the deal at 350 million.

[Name: Aoshi Wushuang Co., Ltd.]

[Legal Representative: Xu Lian]

[Registered Address: Financial Center Commercial Building No. 16]

[Main Business: Development of online game software]

[Area: 15,000 square meters]

After all the relevant procedures were completed, Youxia Studio was officially established.

Yesterday afternoon, Xu Lian had already ordered all the necessary equipment; now he just needed to recruit talent to open for business.

To prepare for this, Xu Lian spent nearly 500 million in total, almost depleting his recently accumulated earnings.

Fortunately, he was not worried, as dungeon was still incredibly profitable, and he expected to recover his costs within a month.

With the upcoming summer vacation, crossfire was also expected to become another major money-maker.

After handling all of this, Xu Lian could gradually withdraw from day-to-day operational matters, only needing to regularly review financial statements.

Currently, he still had an important task to do: to completely detach from the original game platform and independently develop his own game account system.

Given that he used someone else's platform when he first released dungeon, players had to log in to the other party's account system to play the game.

After detaching from the third-party, he would have to establish his own entrance. Although this was both troublesome and potentially very lucrative, much like how Mr. Ma created QQ, it not only allowed users to communicate and socialize but also offered more opportunities to make money.

This world already had very advanced communication tools, ranging from voice calls to high-definition video conferencing.

What truly attracted Xu Lian's attention, however, was how to create greater value through these methods, such as establishing paid value-added services similar to Black Diamond members in games.

Paying thirty yuan a month would grant access to multiple in-game benefits.

After launching new games in the future, Xu Lian could also emulate Old Ma's approach, offering players various exclusive privileges.

For example: Purple Diamond members in racing games, Red Diamond members in shooting games, Yellow Diamond members in social spaces, and Green Diamond members for music players.

Once all these privileges were developed, the money earned might even exceed what he was making from his current game.

However, the original game platform was clearly unwilling to transfer user accounts to Xu Lian for free.

In fact, the game company internally did not want Xu Lian to easily leave the platform.

They intended to use these accounts to leverage Xu Lian, hoping he would continue to release new game titles on their platform.

However, when Xu Lian first released Dungeon & Fighter, the contract clearly stated one point:

That is, all live streaming rights for this game belonged to the developer, not the platform.

If the two parties were to go to court, Xu Lian would undoubtedly win.

To allow old Dungeon & Fighter players to continue using their old accounts in future new games, Xu Lian decided to use this right to purchase all relevant user accounts from the original game platform.

Currently, Dungeon & Fighter is very popular on major live streaming platforms worldwide, and many Streamers have rapidly become famous by streaming this game, bringing considerable profits to their platforms.

Therefore, having exclusive rights to such a globally popular game was definitely an extremely lucrative opportunity.

In the future, no matter which media platform wanted to broadcast Dungeon & Fighter, they would first need authorization from the game company owned by Xu Lian; otherwise, they would face a large sum in infringement compensation fees.

Given this, the originally hesitant game platform finally agreed to the proposal.

After resolving the above issues, with the help of some high technology, Xu Lian created a communication software exclusive to his own company in just half a day.

This software was named "Aoyou Communication."

Subsequently, Xu Lian also specifically posted a social media update, calling on the public to download his new product.

The most well-known software on the market currently is one called "Blue Fox Communication," which has over 500 million users.

Such a massive number virtually monopolized the entire domestic communication market.

However, Xu Lian had his plan.

Currently, Dungeon & Fighter already has nearly ten million active players, all of whom are real, verified player groups.

If they all chose to download and use this new communication tool, it would undoubtedly provide Xu Lian with powerful resource support to challenge existing giants.

Moreover, to encourage more players to download his newly developed application, Xu Lian once again posted the following message on his personal homepage:

[Ouyou — A communication platform designed for game enthusiasts is now online]

[Are you still struggling with how to successfully clear dungeons?]

[Do your equipment configurations always feel less than perfect?]

[Does the single-player experience make you feel lonely and isolated?]

[Join us and enjoy the fun of gaming immediately! By communicating through Ouyou, you can easily find like-minded friends!]

[All new users who register between April 29th and 30th will receive an exclusive gift package. It contains: 10 Lucky Charms, two bottles of Recovery Potions, 10 Resurrection Stones, and one Mysterious Equipment Box.]

"He even launched his own instant messaging tool. The Designer is truly putting all his effort into making a big splash this time. Go for it!"

"How dare he be so high-profile? Is he planning to directly contend with 'Blue Fox'? I hope nothing unexpected happens; I'm looking forward to his future works!"

"It's probably hard to shake their position, after all, 'Blue Fox Communication' is already the choice of most netizens nationwide."

"I just uninstalled that old software. The entire screen was filled with ad pop-ups from other applications; I simply couldn't tolerate it anymore."

"I just installed it and tried it for a while, and it feels pretty good. I hope it can continue to maintain its simple and ad-free advantages."

"Haha, I just finished installing it, claimed all the prizes, and then immediately deleted the program. Please give me a like and encouragement~"

"Designer replied: We will immediately arrange for staff to cancel your special reward!"

It should be noted that "Blue Fox" is a large communication brand well-known both domestically and internationally.
