Chapter 1222: Could the Pei Family’s Publicity Method be Wrong?

Chapter 1222: Could the Pei Family’s Publicity Method be Wrong?

“This combat system is too awesome!”

At first, Yan Qi felt that the combat system had been changed beyond recognition and was very unhappy.

However, after adapting to this rhythm, he suddenly felt a unique sense of satisfaction.

At that moment, he was no longer an ordinary person who acted submissively towards small monsters in the mass grave. Instead, he had become a true Martial God, an ultimate killer who wielded powerful skills and danced on the edge of a knife!

He had found a reason why Eternal Reincarnation could become more popular than Repent and be Saved.

That was because Eternal Reincarnation had this special killing mechanism. In order to prevent too simple killing, it had made a comprehensive adjustment to the monsters’ health, stamina, and other attributes, making the rhythm of the entire game more in line with expectations.

This was also to encourage players to fight a perfect parry and not kill the Boss with one blow. This was not in line with the designer’s original expectations.

“Think about it this way. Can the plot kill of the Black and White Impermanence also be resisted in this way?”

“Previously, I could not defeat the Black and White Impermanence mainly because the damage was too low. However, the current combat mechanism does not matter whether the damage is high or low. No matter how much blood the other party has, I would kill them directly once they strike a flaw.”

“Yes, let’s try it out!”

Yan Qi immediately saved his current save and created a new save file. He went to the initial small yard again and challenged the Black and White Impermanence.

In less than two minutes, the Martial God was once again smashed onto the ground by the Black and White Impermanence. The iron chain went through his clavicle and was taken away.

Yan Qi: “…”

Indeed, while dreams were voluptuous, reality was harsh.

The image in his mind was very perfect. He would first find the White Impermanence and fight it out with the mourning stick. At the beginning, the Black Impermanence would only throw skills at the side. As long as he waited for the right time to dodge, he would be able to deal with the Black Impermanence easily after getting rid of the White Impermanence…

However, the first parry failed after they really started fighting. They were slammed onto the ground by the mourning stick.

The mourning stick that the Black and White Impermanence held was considered a heavy weapon. Thus, the attack time was longer than the long sword in the training mode. The rhythm of the attack was different.

Yan Qi had trained well in the training mode and felt good about himself. However, he had only adapted to the attack rhythm of sword and sword weapons. He was immediately blinded when he encountered the mourning stick.

“Alright, as expected, I’m not worthy…”

Yan Qi silently restored the save file and continued to play in his original save file.

…

At the same time, in the advertising and marketing department.

Meng Chang was also paying attention to the gamers’ feedback after the update of Eternal Reincarnation.

“What the hell is this new combat system?! I can’t even defeat small monsters!”

“That’s right, these little monsters also know how to parry. They can’t be beaten at all. What’s more, as they fight, they would kill me with a single blow. I’m going crazy!”

“The Martial God is even more useless… Previously, I could still fight Granny Meng. Now, I can’t even fight the little monsters outside.”

“You didn’t go to the training stage, right? The teaching said that you have to use the rhythm of your breathing to attack. Otherwise, you will be killed by the small monsters once your breathing becomes chaotic.”

“This new combat mechanism is to encourage close combat. If the playing style is right, it would be very fast no matter whether it is killing small monsters or Bosses. I’m already a little addicted to the feeling of rubbing the joystick!”

“Indeed, this change is not like an action game. Instead, it’s like a sound game and a fighting game: find the rhythm and timing and push the direction to parry.”

“It’s too complicated. I can’t play it…”

“I think it’s very fun. There’s really a sense of satisfaction that other action games would not be able to experience. Especially the moment when the other party’s aura was disrupted and the execution was done. It’s simply too exciting!”

As Meng Chang had expected, the gamers on the internet had very different comments on the battle.

Some gamers who especially liked Repent and be Saved’s combat system felt that it had been modified beyond recognition. It was difficult to adapt and accept. However, other gamers felt that this combat system was very novel. It was faster and more satisfying.

That was normal. After all, everyone had different tastes. There were also many players who preferred traditional combat modes like Repent and be Saved.

However, on the whole, gamers’ overall rating was gradually increasing after the update of the combat system.

That was because Eternal Reincarnation provided all players with another combat experience. Even players who were not used to it would feel a very novel feeling.

Not only that, the automatic parry mechanism of the demon sword had also been studied and understood.

Before this, players had already discovered that if they only used one demon sword, the more deaths they would die, the more frequent the parries would be.

Of course, only about one-third of the map was released in the first part. Thus, the demon sword had an upper limit. It could not reach the effect of Fully-Automated Parry at all.

After this update, the scene of the entire game had reached two-thirds of its completion. Players could already enter some mid to late stages.

Under such circumstances, the automatic parry skill of the demon sword was triggered more frequently. What’s more, the type of parry slowly changed from a perfect parry to a perfect parry. The damage reduction effect was becoming more and more obvious!

Many people guessed that the demon sword might be able to achieve a perfect parry as long as they died enough times in the last one-third of the game content area.

That meant that it was easier to cheat than Repent and be Saved!

Many people cheered. This was Boss Pei’s pity!

Previously, Repent and be Saved’s Pudu was hidden very well. It was only found a few days after the game was released.

Obviously, the ‘pity’ this time was even more obvious. Boss Pei had opened a convenient door for the players with terrible skills.

Of course, the players with terrible skills would continue to suffer in the beginning. It was impossible to win against the boss just by relying on the pitiful automatic parry.

However, as the difficulty level of the game increased, the frequency of automatic parries would also increase. This was equivalent to having a bottom line for players with terrible skills.

As long as he was willing to suffer, he would be able to clear it sooner or later.

Many players with terrible skills did not have a burden anymore. At the very most, they could slowly train their skills and die with the demon sword. Even if they died, they could accumulate demon points.

All in all, after the combat system of Eternal Reincarnation was updated, the previous controversial topics quickly calmed down. Players expressed one after another: How fragrant!

However, the more he saw the comments improving, the more Meng Chang felt his heart ache.

“My commission!”

Meng Chang felt like his heart was being stabbed. He could vaguely see a huge sum of money leaving him.

He reviewed his plan again and still felt that it was perfect without any problems.

First, he would update the game’s settings and monsters three times, so that gamers would accumulate dissatisfaction during the torture. Then, he would update the combat system, instantly turning something rotten into something magical.

However, the gamers’ dissatisfaction did not accumulate because of the unexpected situation. It dissipated because of the update of the combat system.

This was equivalent to the time for the Pei Family’s publicity method to explode. The explosion instantly did not cause such a huge sensation. Instead, it caused the popularity to spread for a long time.

Meng Chang probably would not be able to get a commission.

Boss Pei did not seem to have achieved the best publicity effect either.

Eternal Reincarnation was considered a success, but it could have obtained a greater popularity!

The downloadable content would not make much difference in the end, it was not perfect.

It was not a big problem to lose a month’s commission. However, the key was that Meng Chang had deep doubts about himself.

“My plan is obviously in line with the requirements of the Pei family’s publicity method, but Boss Pei attacked mercilessly and disrupted my plan.”

“However, Boss Pei did not say anything during the publicity for the game platform previously. He even praised me?”

“Could it be that my understanding of the Pei family’s publicity method is completely wrong?”

“Could it be that the publicity method I summarized only misunderstood the meaning behind Boss Pei’s agreement with me?”

Meng Chang could not figure it out no matter how hard he thought.

“Eh? Someone send me a message.”

“Don’t you know that I’m frustrated?”

“Eh, Teacher Qiao.”

Meng Chang did not want to read the message at first, but he still clicked it after seeing that it was from Teacher Qiao.

“Are you planning to make a video for this game? I don’t have any other intentions. I’m just asking, I don’t want to clash.”

Obviously, Qiao Liang intended to make a video for Eternal Reincarnation.

After all, from the current situation, the combat system of Eternal Reincarnation had been updated. The core content had also been mostly exposed. He could start preparing the materials for the video in advance.

He would add the corresponding content in the video when he updated the last third of the scenes next week. He would be able to publish it after deriving it.

Qiao Liang did not know if Meng Chang would still analyze the video in the name of “Young Master Tian”, so he called in advance to prevent the video from clashing.

Meng Chang replied weakly. “I don’t intend to make a video. Do whatever you want.”

The publicity plan had been ruined, and there was no commission. How could he make a video!

Previously, Meng Chang had been ambitious and wanted to listen to Boss Pei’s advice and create an account like “Young Master Tian” that had a character profile like “Teacher Qiao” and a fixed fanbase.

However, he was like a deflated ball now. He could not muster any energy at all.

Not long after, Qiao Liang sent another message.

“I understand now. Leave the interpretation task to me.”

“By the way, I have something else to ask you.”

“Eternal Reincarnation doesn’t seem to have been updated according to the previous plan. Did something go wrong in the middle? Why did the content that was originally scheduled to be updated at the end of the month be updated in the second week?”

“Is there a problem with the internal communication or did they change their minds for some special reason?”

Obviously, Qiao Liang was very curious about this.

He knew that Tengda Games was a very mature department. Any ordinary employee in it was not ordinary.

Even an idiot could become a master game designer if he followed Boss Pei in game making right?

However, many of the hugely invested AAA games did not go wrong. Instead, they went wrong on a small downloadable content. That was indeed strange.

Meng Chang did not want to say it at first. After all, it would be considered a work mistake if this matter were to be said. It would be a little embarrassing.

However, on further thought, Qiao Liang might be able to resolve his confusion.

Until now, Meng Chang still could not understand why Boss Pei messed up his publicity plan and detonated the accumulated popularity in advance.

Qiao Liang might not know about marketing, but he knew games and Boss Pei!

The Eternal Reincarnation this time was a game project after all. Qiao Liang might be able to see some clues.

Meng Chang also felt that his actions were a little desperate, but this was a serious matter after all. He was very eager to know what was going on.

Thus, he briefly explained how Yu Fei was forced to put a square peg into a round hole and became the chief planner, his publicity plan, and the blunder that he had caused.

Qiao Liang fell into a short silence after listening to it.

“I see. I understand now.”

“I have two ideas about the deeper meaning behind Boss Pei’s actions, but it’s difficult to prove them at the moment. I have to think about it again and verify it from many angles before I can have a definite answer.”

“How about this? Just wait for my new video!”
