After the end of the study tour in the UK, the first thing Ren Pingsheng did when he returned to China was to convene a meeting of his corporate executives.

Xu Tao first reported the latest situation of Universal Games:

The market situation of "Ideal World" has improved recently, and the growth momentum has accelerated a lot compared to last month, and the number of online users has increased by nearly 100,000, which can already be on a par with Blizzard's masterpiece "World of Warcraft".

The main reason for the improvement of the market situation is due to the improvement of marketing strategies, especially after the successful title of Xiangchu Satellite TV's ace variety show "Happy Camp", the exposure and influence of "Ideal World" have been greatly improved, attracting many new players in the younger age group to join the ranks of the game.

Xu Tao specifically mentioned that the newly recruited Zhai Daocheng did a good job in the position of deputy director of the marketing department, although the naming right was talked about by Lin Lisong, but the later contact and coordination were followed up by Zhai Daocheng, which laid a good foundation for the successful cooperation between the two sides.

Zhai Daocheng was dressed in a straight suit, his hair was shiny, although his boss mentioned his name, his face was still very humble, his eyes kept following Xu Tao, and he did not get carried away because he showed his face in front of the boss.

Ren Pingsheng nodded expressionlessly, which could be regarded as an affirmation of the work of Xu Tao and others.

He didn't look at Zhai Daocheng, because there was no need, working for others, everything he did belonged to the person who provided the job, if the chairman paid too much attention to a small and middle-level level, it would cause superfluous associations among others.

Ren Pingsheng didn't want to see this situation, because he let Zhai Daocheng enter the company and arranged to work under Xu Tao's subordinates, the purpose was to set up a henchman chess piece lurking there, just in case.

In order to ensure that this chess piece is not exposed, Ren Pingsheng specially instructed Liu Yijun to keep this secret, if Xu Tao knew that Zhai Daocheng was his classmate at Hanhai University, then he would definitely have reservations about Zhai Daocheng, and he didn't want to be like this now, so he could rest assured that he would give him the job.

Judging from the current situation, Zhai Daocheng's latent work has done a good job, Xu Tao is not only suspicious, but also praises Zhai Daocheng, which shows that in a short period of time, Zhai Daocheng has won Xu Tao's trust.

This Zhai Daocheng really has some ability.

Next, Xu Tao talked about the development of the "Ideal World" expansion pack.

Maybe it was Ren Pingsheng's conversation last time that had an effect, or maybe it was the new "Option Incentive Plan" launched by Universal Games that played a role, and the morale and creativity of Xu Tao and the R&D team have returned, and they have completed the content of the expansion after a month of hard work, and are currently in BETA testing.

Ren Pingsheng was not deeply involved in this expansion, but the overall idea is consistent with what he said during the game's development phase.

In addition to the addition of three maps and more than 200 missions, the expansion also introduces a new "Home" mode.

The so-called "home" mode, in fact, is a series of personal housing systems including land auctions, house construction, decoration, etc., after the player updates the expansion pack, through the game broadcast and the guidance of the guards, to buy land from the land developer in each main city, and then build their own house through their own efforts, and through the life skills and battles in the game to obtain house decorations.

If players want to own a house of their own, they must first have 200,000 in-game currency in order to participate in the purchase of land in each main city;

After the player buys the land, he also needs a lot of wood, stone, iron ore and other materials to build a house, these materials are different depending on the type and appearance of the house, of course, the bungalow is easier to build, and the upper level is a courtyard, high-rise buildings, manors and other more high-end residences, which consume more materials;

After building their own house, players also need to decorate their own house, including the color of the house, the type of furniture, etc., all of which need to be obtained by the player through life skills, and there are some particularly rare decorations that need to be obtained through high-level battles and dungeon dungeons.

All in all, the content is designed to give players more content to participate in the game and spend more time in the game.

At the same time, the large amount of money and materials consumed by different levels of houses can also promote in-game market trading activities, and achieve the effect of recovering currency, making the in-game economic system more balanced.

Of course, players spend a lot of time and energy building houses, and the rewards are also very rich.

Players who have a useful house can not only get a private warehouse of their own to improve the storage space of their items, but also rest and practice in it, which can reap the effect of half the effort.

Players can get more convenience in their own house, where they can set up alchemy furnaces, kitchens, handicraft workshops and other facilities and equipment, which can improve the success rate of using these life skills, and these success rates will increase accordingly with the improvement of the level of the house.

Most crucially, players who own a house will be able to unlock a new feature added to the new expansion, "Marriage".

As long as you have a house in the game, you can use the "Proposal" skill on the opposite sex character in the game, and after receiving the reply allowed by the other party, the two can go to the auditoriums of the major cities to hold a wedding.

After two players "get married", they can not only put a signboard with their names in front of their house, but also enjoy a series of benefits for husband and wife players, including halving the commission and tax rate received when trading goods, doubling the success rate of life skills, etc., so that husband and wife players can go to the next level at the beginning of life.

Of course, there is also a hidden benefit designed in the game, if husband and wife players adopt the "double cultivation" mode for combat cultivation, it can make the upgrade effect of combat skills higher, so that the combat effectiveness of both sides is stronger, but at the same time, it will also consume a lot of physical strength and endurance of husband and wife players.

This design is mainly to promote social interaction between players, enhance the interaction between players, and allow players to experience more social relationships.

After watching the relevant demonstration of the expansion film, Ren Pingsheng recognized the work of Xu Tao and the R&D team, and he also pointed out:

"The game system should take into account the multi-faceted needs of players, make the experience more user-friendly, and strengthen the interaction of players themselves. ”

Ren Pingsheng hadn't participated in the discussion on the front line of the game for a long time, so as soon as he opened his mouth today, everyone pricked up their ears and listened attentively to the instructions of the big boss.

"For example, the player's house should not only have a difference in grade, but also a difference in location and location, and further optimize the design of the major main cities, dividing the business district, entertainment area, living area and slum area, and the game GM hosts a land auction once a week, and the highest bidder wins, so as to promote competition between players and recover more currency. ”

Ren Pingsheng's explanation is very clear, although his logic is very strong, but many people think of the recent series of actions of Pingsheng Real Estate, and muttered to themselves: The boss is addicted to playing real estate from time to time, and he brings this day to the game.

However, if it is really realized according to Ren Pingsheng's vision, the real estate construction transaction in the game will definitely be more interesting and can attract many people to participate.

After all, it's much less difficult to build a house in the game than it is to buy a house in the real world.

At the same time, the houses in the game should be able to achieve liquidity, and a real estate trading market can be designed, so that players can buy, sell, rent, and mortgage their houses, and further improve the financial functions in the game. ”

Looking at the eyes of his subordinates who nodded in agreement, Ren Pingsheng gave one last comment to this information piece:

"Finally, the threshold for the 'marriage' function should be lowered, don't set too high a threshold for players, who said that you must buy a house if you get married, and you can rent a house. ”

The audience laughed, Mr. Ren is really still the same Mr. Ren, and the sense of humor he brings at any time is still there.

Xu Tao wasted no time in asking:

"What should this expansion be called. ”

Ren Pingsheng quickly made a decision.

"It's called "Ideal Home". ”
