Chapter 350 Special Advisor


    "Huh?" Ma Lu couldn''t help but feel a little embarrassed when he thought that not long ago he had suggested that the eldest son should be replaced by the elder sister with black stockings and big fleshy legs.


    Fortunately, Bald Man was very angry and did not hold on to this point. Instead, he waved his hand and said, "It''s okay. It''s my fault that I didn''t make it clear before."


    “So why does Lord Isaacon suddenly want to switch to video games?” Malu asked.


    “It’s like this. Recently, the secret treasure left by the Lich King Glynais was found. Glynais is an outlier among the abyss lords. He is not as obsessed with expanding his territory as other abyss lords.


    “Instead, he is obsessed with research, especially the research of necromancy. He is probably the first person in the entire abyss, so the appearance of the secret treasure he left behind immediately triggered a frantic grab by all forces.


    “There has been a war in the abyss some time ago, and each family has lost a lot of men. Even the Demon King and Demon General were not spared, and many lords even died.


    “Even the forces that were lucky enough to survive were all severely weakened, so the abyss lords agreed to a one-year truce and wait until next year to fight again.”


    “At this time, part of Glinais’s research was leaked out somehow. It was about a new type of skeleton warrior. No, no, it should be called a skeleton puppet more appropriately.


    “This kind of skeleton puppet is different from ordinary skeleton warriors. It does not require soul fire. It can only be summoned using bones that can be found everywhere in the abyss. The manufacturing cost is almost zero.


    “It can do more than a skeleton warrior who can only fight. It can not only be used as cheap cannon fodder, but can also be used as a coolie. It just needs someone to control it.”


    ?Ma Lu has roughly figured out what this game is about.


    “So the character controlled by the player is the special skeleton puppet you mentioned. Now the Abyss is very short of manpower due to the war, so you want to use this method to increase manpower.


    “The so-called game disc should be a medium for controlling the skeleton puppet, and the game is just a disguise. You just did some local adaptation and numerical work. In fact, what happens on the other side of the screen is real.


    “This is also the reason why the numerical planner complained to me before that he could change the numerical value at will, but it would not match the reality after the modification.”


    ??Bald Man nodded, "Yes, now the abyss lords are working hard to establish game studios and recruit players to work for themselves. This is why our Chiling project team was born."


    "I still have a question I don''t understand," Malu said again, "There are humans in your own plane, right? Why don''t you recruit people locally instead of looking far away and go to our plane to recruit people?"


    ??Bald Tuzi said, "In our plane, because humans always go to the abyss to explore, the relationship between us is very bad. Each family goes to other planes to recruit people."


    “As far as I know, the one who has gained the most so far is the Succubus Queen Corina. She was originally just a weak Abyss Lord, and she was able to gain a foothold in the Abyss by relying on other powerful Lords.


    "However, it is said that the number of skeleton puppets under her is almost over 10,000. If you give her some more time, she may become the largest force in the abyss. What''s more terrible is that she and Lord Esagon had some conflicts before..."


    “What about you?” Malu asked casually.


    ?The Bald Man was silent again, and after a moment he said, "The online rate on my side is currently only in single digits, and Lord Isaacon''s other groups don''t seem to be going well either."


    "Succubus... does have a natural advantage in recruiting players." Ma Lu touched his chin and said, "It''s really hard not to play with 18+ and Abyss together. Why don''t you think about changing your job?"


    Bald Tuzi also sighed, "Lord Aisagan is kind to me, and I will not leave him when he is in danger." "Boss Bald is also a loyal person!" Ma Lu sighed with emotion.


    "In short, the situation is like this. We are aware of some of the suggestions you made in the room before, such as the problem of wasting time on the road, but it is really difficult to modify. Even if we change the numbers here, it is just a change of numbers. "


    “Yeah, I basically understand it, which means that what you can do is mainly front-end and operational work.”


    "Yes." Bald Man took another puff of cigarette and asked tentatively, "Boss Ma, do you think there is still a possibility for us to rescue him?"


    "Of course," Ma Lu said, "After all, you have a good foundation. The theme of opening up the abyss is also attractive to many players. Although it is too real, it is a problem, but it is not a fatal problem.


    “If the operation is good, it can still be saved, and even shortcomings can be turned into advantages. Although the proportion of **** players in the player group is not that high, it is not completely absent.


    “And even if the operation is not good, as long as you buy crazy amounts and the base is large, you will always encounter crazy people like me.”


    Bald Man frowned, "But we can''t buy it on a large scale... I promised the city manager to keep a low profile, and it''s best not to step outside of City B."


    “Then we can only think of solutions in terms of operations.” Ma Lu said.


    “I wonder if Boss Ma is interested in joining our project team and guiding us in operations.” Bald Tuzi extended the invitation again, and he was very sincere.


    “To be honest, we are good at fighting, but this is our first time operating a game. Although I have read some books on this before, due to my lack of experience, I have only a limited understanding of many things.


    “We are really short of talents in this field now, and the city managers do not allow us to harass ordinary people.”


    “But I already have my own business.” Ma Lu said.


    “I know that of course we will not affect the normal operation of your restaurant. We just hope that you can guide us when you are free. I plan to hire you to be a special consultant for our Chiling project team.”


    “As a basic salary, I can pay you 800 star coins per month.”


    ?Bald Bald also knows that this number is a bit small, but the problem is that he does not have enough money, otherwise he would not come out to build a team and only order 12 dishes for 14 people.


    ?Ma Lu thought for a moment, neither refused nor agreed immediately, but asked again, "What about the operating income from the game?"


    "Operating income?" Bald Man was a little surprised, "Boss Ma, are you referring to the banknotes in this plane? Although we are a game project team, we are not an ordinary game project team. Money does not mean much to us. .


    “Players coming to play our games is the biggest help to us, and our online rate is not ideal. If we charge more at this time, wouldn’t it be equivalent to driving away another group of players?”


    "No, no, no, you are not players and don''t understand the joy of recharging money in the game." Ma Lu said, "And recharging money can also help increase the stickiness of players. When you want to give up the game, think about what you have paid. Sunk costs, you might just bite the bullet and stay.”
