I Really Didn't Mean to Make Money

“I do have an idea.”

Wei Yan spoke calmly.

“Those players wanting the noble system to return essentially just want access to the newly released outfits.”

“Right now, there are only a few ways to obtain outfits in the game: the Noble Outfits, the Returning Player Outfits, and collecting shards from world bosses to synthesize an outfit.”

“But both the Noble Outfits and Returning Player Outfits are limited-edition.”

“For new players, the only way to get outfits is by farming world bosses—yet that method takes a long time.”

“So currently, new players have no way to quickly get outfits, which is why they’re calling for the return of the noble system. That way, they can just spend money to get outfits fast.”

Fang Chang and Zhao Bowen nodded slightly at Wei Yan’s explanation, their eyes lighting up a little.

Wei Yan’s reminder had sparked some ideas in them, but they didn’t interrupt and simply continued listening to him.

“So, as long as we satisfy their desire to get outfits, we can basically resolve this issue.”

“I do have one idea. Since these people want the noble system back, it means they’re willing to spend money in the game.”

“But in order to maintain our game’s current model, we can’t introduce new spending channels. So we need to work with the existing ones.”

“The current payment options are monthly cards, weekly cards, and daily cards. We can design three outfits based on these three cards.”

“Monthly Card Outfit, Weekly Card Outfit, Daily Card Outfit—players would gain the right to use these outfits by purchasing the corresponding cards.”

“What do you think of this idea?”

Wei Yan finished speaking and looked up at Fang Chang and Zhao Bowen.

Fang Chang and Zhao Bowen exchanged a glance, their expressions slightly excited.

After Wei Yan’s reminder, they thought of a solution—selling a few sets of outfits at a low price.

This method, while pricing the outfits lower, still effectively created another consumption channel.

It somewhat went against the current development concept of Tianlong, but Wei Yan’s solution was different. This solution didn’t add any new consumption channels but still brought a different change. Even without increasing consumption channels, he believed that once those outfits corresponding to the three cards were released, the number of people buying those cards would definitely increase to some extent.

After all, most people could afford to spend just a few bucks.

“I think this plan is totally feasible, and it could even increase the sales of the three cards,” Fang Chang said confidently.

He believed that once the outfits were released, Tianlong’s revenue would increase by at least 10-20%.

Zhao Bowen agreed, “I also think this idea is great. I’ll make an announcement to calm down those players and then arrange for the team to quickly design those outfits.”

Without waiting for Wei Yan and Fang Chang, Zhao Bowen hurriedly left the office, heading straight to the employee studio. He wanted to form a small group to get the outfits designed as quickly as possible.

Seeing Zhao Bowen’s rushed departure, Wei Yan and Fang Chang exchanged a slight smile.

Without saying anything, they knew exactly what Zhao Bowen was up to.

Getting the outfits done quickly meant that the game’s revenue would rise faster.

Clothing Factory, Office Building.

Wu Yu led a few people to a vacant room.

“This will be your live streaming space from now on. Take a look and see if it’s enough.”

Wu Yu looked back at the group of people behind him and asked.

These were the live streaming team he had hired, a total of four people. Two were merchandise sales hosts, and the other two were responsible for operations, editing, and other tasks.

“Looks good, it’s enough.”

Liu Jie looked around the size of the room and nodded.

“Good. When can you start the broadcast?”

Wu Yu asked again. Now that everything was prepared, he naturally wanted to start the live stream as soon as possible.

“The room needs some setup, and you can bring the clothes you plan to sell here now. We need to check them in advance.”

“So, the earliest we can start is tomorrow.”

Wu Yu nodded in response. It was already afternoon, and there wasn’t enough time to begin the live stream today.

“Okay, we’ll go live tomorrow at the set time.”

After confirming the live stream time, Wu Yu left the room to the live streaming team to set up.

He then found Assistant Shen to briefly report on the live streaming plans and went to the workshop to prepare the clothes for sale, arranging for them to be sent over.

Everything was ready, now they just had to see how the live stream would perform tomorrow!

Wu Yu felt a little anxious, but was also looking forward to it.

The next day soon arrived.

The live stream for selling merchandise officially began.

Wu Yu watched closely on his phone, keeping an eye on the situation.

He noticed that the professional live streaming team was much more skilled than their amateur attempts.

Under the guidance of the two hosts, the live stream chat gradually filled with inquiries about prices and sizes.

But among the messages, there were some strange questions mixed in.

“When will we get to see the dog house?”

Wu Yu frowned at the message.

Fortunately, he had prepared in advance.

After his phone call with Li Shen, he had created a new account.

He then moved all the previous videos from the old account to the new one.

This new account was prepared for Li Shen.

However, before Li Shen returns, he wanted to move as many of the previous account’s followers to the new account as possible.

So, whenever he saw comments asking about the dog house, he would @ those people, asking them to follow the new account and telling them that the new account would be live streaming the dog house.

And the results were quite good, with quite a few people already following the new account.

He believed that by the time Li Shen returned, the new account would have a solid fanbase, and they wouldn’t need to start from scratch.

They could go live directly with this account.

.....

Time passed, and soon it was time to clock out.

Wu Yu had arrived at the live streaming room early, wanting to see how the day’s live stream had performed.

After waiting a bit outside the live stream room, the first day’s stream was finally announced to have ended.

Seeing the live stream room was now closed, Wu Yu quickly entered.

He found Liu Jie.

“How was it? How much revenue did we make today?”
