We promised to develop a game of elimination, but what the hell is going on with Havoc in Heaven?

Chapter 71 Calling everyone "Uncle" one minute and "Cousin" the next! (Please subscribe!!!)

Dongqing Technology.

Lin Dong sat in his office.

Naturally, I've been keeping an eye on trending topics about "The Myth" online.

Netizens were abuzz with excitement over the battle at Huaguo Mountain, Erlang Shen, and the transformation of heaven and earth.

Despite the combined efforts of many players in Huaguo Mountain, they were still defeated in the great battle against the Heavenly Court.

He wasn't surprised at all.

After all, people in this world don't know "Journey to the West," they have no idea how high the sky is, how wide the earth is, or how powerful the Heavenly Court is. How could they possibly be easily defeated?

However, when I saw the online explanation of "the one who escaped".

Lin Dong was still a little stunned.

ah--?
Is that what he thinks?
But thinking about it carefully, it does seem more reasonable, interesting, and impressive to follow what's said online.

Think about it this way.

Lin Dong immediately realized it.

Yes, that's what he thought.

if not?
Otherwise, why would he have asked his senior to spend so much money to create a truly free and open world?
Lin Dong agreed wholeheartedly and nodded repeatedly.

As expected of me, you're really amazing.

During this time, Lin Dong also checked out Qiao Liang's live stream.

For this guy.

Lin Dong's lips twitched; he really didn't know how to comment on it now.

I always feel like I'm both impressive and not impressive at the same time.

What's amazing is that this guy can always guess some things even without having read "Journey to the West" or knowing the plot.

What's not so impressive is that, as he keeps guessing, he always manages to guess some things wrong.

It's really magical.

While Lin Dong was browsing these trending topics and keeping track of the progress of "The Myth",

"President Lin! President Mu wants you to go to the conference room for a meeting!"

The door to his office was pushed open.

A young woman stood at the door and spoke to him respectfully.

"Okay, I see."

Lin Dong nodded in response, then got up and walked towards the conference room.

The World Swimming Championships are now just around the corner.

There are only 24 hours left.

With the upcoming public beta test of the game, Dongqing naturally needs to make preparations.

soon.

Lin Dong, Mu Wanqing, and Wang Xiaoxiao.

Several other company executives also came to the conference room.

After everyone has arrived.

Mu Wanqing stood at the head of the group and said excitedly:
"Ladies and gentlemen! There are only 24 hours left until the official release of 'Myth'."

"The future of 'The Myth' is evident to all. Thank you all for your hard work during this time! Please stand firm in your posts until the very end!"

"Once 'Myth' is officially released, the company won't be stingy with bonuses or celebration banquets..."

Mu Wanqing stood there, talking boastfully.

Lin Dong sat down next to her, listening with a smile on his face.

And the rest.

For example, Wang Xiaoxiao was already filled with excitement and agitation.

Just like those netizens online.

It has only been about ten days since "Myth" was made.

However, they also felt that this period of time had passed incredibly long.

Because they were just as eager to get started.

I'm eager to see how well my masterpiece will perform after it's released.

That would certainly be earth-shattering.

"Regarding the pricing of 'Myth'! It will remain as we discussed before! Three hundred and twenty-eight yuan! Buyout! Does anyone have any objections?" Mu Wanqing asked on the stage.

This was the result of a discussion between Mu Wanqing, Lin Dong, and Wang Xiaoxiao.

Three hundred and twenty-eight yuan.

Is it expensive?

It's not expensive at all!

Because Myth is not a single-player game, but an online game.

The development cost itself is already astronomical, and the subsequent maintenance cost will be even more substantial.

In this place, it's common to recharge 648.

Spending thousands or tens of thousands is like throwing money down the drain; it's an era where you can't see anything.

Three hundred and twenty-eight yuan.

They are incredibly conscientious.

Many high-level officials even felt that this was inappropriate, as the fee was far too low.

But in Lin Dong, Mu Wanqing, and Wang Xiaoxiao.

With the approval of the company's three core leaders, their opinions became less important.

"No."

"No."

"No."

One by one, the company executives answered.

Lin Dong, Mu Wanqing, and Wang Xiaoxiao exchanged a glance, and smiles appeared on their faces.

Why did they leave Starlink in such a fit of anger?

Isn't it Starlink that caused God of War to plummet to oblivion by overcharging and disrupting the game's balance?

Now, Dongqing has been established.

Mythology is about to be released.

They certainly wouldn't repeat the same mistakes.

They haven't forgotten their original intention: to make a good game.

Moreover.

If it were another game...

The high development costs of "Myth".

Perhaps this charging method and pricing strategy will indeed result in losses.

But can "Mythology" be the same?

Given the immense popularity of "Myth," even if only 100,000 people participated in the closed beta and each bought a copy, that would amount to an astronomical sum.

Not to mention after the public beta.

There is a high possibility that there will be millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of players.

Besides.

Lin Dong also mentioned this to Mu Wanqing.

Besides the games, the IP of "Journey to the West" itself also has unimaginable value. As long as the popularity of "The Myth" is maintained, there are countless ways for Dongqing to make money.

If we need to cater to wealthy players.

That makes it even simpler.

Without disrupting the game's balance, it's not necessarily true that paid features cannot be added after the game goes live.

The main paid items are the equipment that whales (high-spending players) can buy, which looks more gorgeous, imposing, and intimidating than that of ordinary players.

Commonly known as: skin.

This way, whales get their satisfaction, and ordinary players won't have too large a gap between themselves and whales due to spending money, leading to game imbalance.

This pattern is very common on Earth and is a trick often used in many games. Lin Dong didn't need to say much; Dong Qing and the others understood it.

A wildly popular game.

Is it about making a quick buck and running, or about slowly and steadily earning money?

A certain company cannot distinguish between them.

They can still distinguish between Dong and Qing.

that's it.

After a passionate speech.

The meeting ended and the meeting was adjourned.

People began to leave one after another.

Lin Dong looked at Mu Wanqing and breathed a sigh of relief, once again feeling fortunate that his company had a senior colleague.

If it were him doing this,

He probably wouldn't be able to do it that well.

He's better suited to quietly making games than standing in the spotlight.

If Mu Wanqing were here.

With his senior taking care of external affairs, he only needed to focus on internal matters.

perfect!

After the meeting ended.

Mu Wanqing also did not forget the promotion of "Myth".

Seeing the ridiculously high level of discussion surrounding Erlang Shen Yang Jian, many players are also very curious about Erlang Shen.

Say nothing.

He then instructed the propaganda department.

They released Erlang Shen's personal game CG on the official website, adding fuel to the fire.

Headlines?

She wants to make sure their "Myth" can't get off the stage!
They've been dominating it!
……

……

The wondrous path of Qingyuan!

Erlang shows his sage!

Next up is...

The earliest traitor in Heaven, the number one henchman in Heaven, and the founder of the Havoc in Heaven.

The eldest disciple of Master Yuding, the nephew of the Jade Emperor, and a graduate of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts at its maximum level.

He achieved physical immortality, becoming the strongest war god in Heaven and the most handsome man in the Three Realms, obeying orders but not summons.

He tamed the floods and slew the dragon, carried mountains to catch the sun, split mountains to save his mother, fought alone against the Four Heavenly Kings, Li Jing and his son, the Twenty-Eight Constellations, the Five Directions Protectors, and other 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, and killed the Jade Emperor's nine sons in a fit of rage.

The superior of the six brothers of Meishan, the commander of 1,200 grass-headed gods, and the person in charge of Guanjiang Estuary—Yang Jian!
……

……

With the release of Erlang Shen's personal CG, players, online games, and streamers alike quickly discovered it.

【Fuck! 】

【Fuck! 】

【Fuck! 】

Everyone was stunned when they saw the game's cutscene.

It started to boil.

[Is this Erlang Shen?! No wonder he's so strong!!! No wonder he could defeat Monkey King!!!]

[Damn, the game is almost ready for open beta, and Dongqing is going to pull a big surprise on us at the last minute?!]

So, causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace wasn't just Monkey King's invention? Erlang Shen had already done it before Monkey King?!

No wonder Erlang Shen wasn't afraid of Monkey King at all when he heard about his achievements, and even said that Monkey King had done similar things to him.

[The Four Heavenly Kings, Li Jing and his son, and 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals—holy crap! The lineups are exactly the same!]

[That's not all! He also killed nine of the Jade Emperor's sons! Ten suns were reduced to just one?! And according to their relationship, weren't they cousins?]

[They call each other "uncle" and "cousin" with an axe?]

[Understood. In this game, to be considered truly powerful, one must wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace and defeat 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals.]

[Wow, that's awesome! If Erlang Shen and the Great Sage were to wreak havoc in Heaven together, wouldn't the Heavenly Court explode?! I can't imagine anyone stopping them!]

[Ugh, why does Erlang Shen, who has such a huge conflict with the Heavenly Court, still help the Heavenly Court?!]

Countless bullet comments began to surge on the game's cutscene.

Everyone was shocked by Erlang Shen and finally understood why he could rival Sun Wukong.

It's worth noting that this is a significant improvement over Sun Wukong's brief personal CG animation.

The individual CG of Erlang Shen lasts a full five minutes, perfectly showcasing his abilities to everyone.

What is the name of Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun of Guanjiangkou?

In the CG, there is a solitary figure wielding a three-pointed double-edged sword, facing 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals alone, and facing ten suns alone.

He is in no way weaker than Sun Wukong.

The scene of slaying nine suns in succession was so oppressive that it felt even stronger than the scene of Sun Wukong.

Obey orders but not pronouncements?
To defy the Heavenly Court? To defy the Jade Emperor?
Those were all earned through hard work!
Players who previously suspected that there must be some inside story or shady dealings behind Erlang Shen's defeat of Sun Wukong are now starting to waver.

Compared to the Monkey King, Erlang Shen is the predecessor who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace!

The anchors include Qiao Liang, Xiao Huohuo, and Li Mu.

With the audience's reminder, they naturally saw this game CG.

His eyes were filled with shock at that moment.

This is Erlang Shen, who broke the heavenly rules back then.

No wonder the Jade Emperor went to Guanjiang Estuary to invite him after his 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals were defeated.

Because he alone is indeed stronger than 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals!

However, compared to those who waver.

They watched the game's cinematic and remained convinced.

Even Erlang Shen, the Great Sage is definitely not weaker than him.

There's definitely something fishy going on here.

Not only them, but many people actually still think so.

All of a sudden.

Because of this game cutscene.

On the internet, there are discussions about whether Erlang Shen or Sun Wukong is stronger.

A heated discussion and debate ensued, eventually escalating into a war of words.
