Chapter 1494: Did He Request For The High Rail Ticket?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

February 25th, Monday.

Pei Qian came to the office as usual and briefly explained the current situation of the various departments.

Settlement was on Thursday. No new products were to be released from the various departments. They had basically arranged for sudden spending. However, whether they could incur losses or not would depend on this last bluff.

Until now, it was not safe to incur losses.

Pei Qian paid attention to IOI first.

Pei Qian had not heard from them for a while ever since the four-man team went to talk to Dayak Corporation.

The main reason was that there was a time difference between the two sides. What’s more, Pei Qian felt that he could not help much and asked the four of them to take charge. Meng Chang finally decided that it would be enough as long as they could reach a deal.

He did not know about the internal news, but it was quite difficult not to pay attention to external news.

Last Tuesday, Finger Games released some negative news. For example, they wanted to merge with the sub servers and organize a paywall on April Fool’s Day. That caused Finger Games’ share price to plummet.

Aweek had passed, and the decline was almost over.

That weekend, Finger Games created a new mess.

First, he announced the redo plan of some heroes with lower chances of winning. Second, he made some adjustments to the ranking rules.

‘These two matters were not announced at the same time. Instead, they were announced two days later. However, without exception, they caused negative public opinion!

First of all, it was a good thing to redo the plan. After all, the game had developed until now. The mechanisms of many heroes that had been designed in the past were no longer in line with the current game rhythm. There was no chance to play at all. It was very difficult to balance the system alone. Thus,

it was reasonable to redo it.

However, the problem was that Finger Games was producing new heroes too slowly!

Previously, when IOI and GOG were on fire, Finger Games produced new heroes very quickly. However, as IOI became worse, they spent a lot of time and energy to create various skins. The production speed of new heroes had been greatly reduced.

Under such circumstances, there was actually such a large-scale redo plan.

Naturally, gamers would wonder: Can you produce new heroes?

Redoing old heroes could also bring some novelty, but how could it compare to new heroes?

This gave people the feeling that 101 heroes were in their twilight years, lost their ambition, and began to gnaw on their old books.

The adjustment of the ranking rules had also been scolded.

Finger Games claimed that in order to bring all players, especially new players, a better gaming experience, the new ranking rules would make some adjustments to the matching mechanism. It would more dynamically balance the number of players on both sides and different segments.

At first, gamers thought that this was good news. However, insider news quickly spread that the new ranking rules were to make it so that most gamers’ chances of winning were about 50%!

Why? That was because it would maximize the retention of players and ensure the number of players.

That was because most players’ chances of winning were maintained at 50%. Coupled with the additional winning points, it was guaranteed that they would definitely be able to play well. Even some relatively rookie players would be able to experience the feeling of lying down and winning after losing too

much, The game would bring them a better experience.

For IOI, it was currently facing the serious situation of losing players from the fish pond.

The loss of Fish Pool players would cause the entire ranking pyramid to collapse from the bottom to the top. It would cause the ranking of all players to drop collectively, resulting in very serious consequences.

For a game like GOG that maintained the growth of players and had a huge player base, this was not a big problem. However, to IOI, this was obviously directly related to its survival.

Previously, he had said that he wanted to merge with the sub servers because of this consideration. He wanted to better ensure the depth of the fish pond.

However, this brought a new problem. Those who would play more but were not strong enough to be professional gamers would feel very uncomfortable!

That was because the system had to ensure that the messed up players could maintain a 50% chance of winning while lying down. That meant they had to sacrifice the gaming experience of some outstanding players.

After a player’s winning streak, they would definitely frequently encounter scamming teammates and forcefully lower their winning rate. In the end, everyone’s winning rate would be roughly maintained at 50%. Even if the winning rate of powerful players was slightly higher, it would not be much

higher.

‘The chances of winning could be maintained between 70% to 80% unless some particularly powerful god-like players or professional players were to die in the game. It was very difficult to break through 50% of the winning rate. The most likely outcome was to leave an entire page of SVP.

From the perspective of a game merchant, this seemed to be a perfect choice.

For some players who were more messed up, they would not be dissuaded from continuously kneeling, As long as the number of ranking competitions increased, they would be able to see their rankings slowly increase. For those players who could relatively C, even though they were very unhappy with

the 50% win rate, they had C at least. It was SVP. They had only been arranged by their messed up teammates. It was not worth it to leave the game in anger because of this.

Originally, this rule was intended to be updated secretly. At that time, gamers would not be able to sense it for a short period of time. They could pull a wave of retention.

Unexpectedly, this rule was leaked out for some reason!

This was explosive.

From the perspective of Finger Games, this new ranking mechanism could indeed improve the gaming experience of new gamers and prevent the further loss of the fish pond. However, this was very unacceptable to more capable gamers.

‘What right do you have to match me with a messed up teammate and forcefully lower my chances of winning to 50%?

The ranking competition should be based on one’s own skills. In the end, I C-ed so many times and so many promotions were done by those slackers. Why did I work so hard to train my skills and seriously want to win the competition?

I put in so much effort to train my skills, and in the end, I’m lonely?

His ideals were voluptuous but they went against the consensus of most gamers. That was why he was scolded badly!

The consecutive negative events caused Finger Games’ share price to fall again. It felt like it was about to turn cold.

Pei Qian’s heart began to race.

‘What was going on? Everything was going according to plan.

‘What was wrong with the upper echelons of Finger Games? Did they give up on themselves? Why did they start lowering their intelligence?

What about the CEO of Finger Games? Can he manage it?

However… on the bright side, perhaps the acquisition of Finger Games would be smoother that way?

Pei Qian could not understand if the upper echelons of Finger Games were collectively crazy or if it was because they were ‘unable to transport heroes’. In any case, he was getting more and more confused about Finger Games.

Just as he was thinking about this, he heard a knock on his office door.

He looked up and saw Lu Mingliang.

“Boss Pei, I’m here to admit my mistakes. When I was debating with Nie Yunsheng of Shengyun Corporation on Saturday, I subconsciously said some inappropriate words because I was too emotional. I also pulled a lot of hatred. I’m willing to take all the responsibility.”

Lu Mingliang had gone to Shanghai to meet Nie Yunsheng. He had indeed arranged for it. However, the words that he had said on the spot were very improvised.

Some had indeed been thought of to expose the hypocritical veil of Shengyun Corporation, but some had been improvised and said out loud.

Now, the live-stream had already caused a heated response online. From the looks of the results, Lu Mingliang had become famous in one battle. Upwind Logistics’ reputation had skyrocketed, and the express delivery business had skyrocketed.

However, he had to admit that Lu Mingliang had not asked Pei Qian for instructions or confirmed some of his words before he spoke. Lu Mingliang was not sure if Boss Pei would support his words or not, and whether these words would affect Upwind Logistics and the future development of Tengda

Corporation.

‘Thus, Lu Mingliang decided to wait until Monday to report to Boss Pei.

After a moment of silence, Pei Qian said, “Have you paid for your overtime pay on Saturday? Have you paid for your high-speed rail ticket?”

Lu Mingliang was stunned. “Er… they’re all open.”

Pei Qian immediately grinned. “That’s good! Other than that, that’s not a big deal. I watched the video of you attacking Nie Yunsheng. It’s quite good. There’s no problem.”

“The most important thing is to announce to everyone that Upwind Logistics will not increase in price for ten years and that we will be subsidizing on a large scale. That has completely won my heart! That’s great!”

“As for attracting hatred… those companies deserve a good scolding! I hope that they can work together to deal with Tengda and create some difficulty for me!”

“What’s more, you’ve done a good job of turning that express deliveryman over on the spot. You’ve even combined it with the recent special recruitment examinations and gave me a brand new idea.”

“I want to give you a fixed quota to poach people!”

“Tl give you some slots alone. Go and poach the employees who used to work in Shengyun Corporation. Since we’ve already fallen out, we might as well tear them up even more completely!”

“If we can achieve good results by poaching people this time, we can popularize this rule and let the other departments imitate it!”
