Mr. Adams gritted his teeth and was itching to kick Alvis to death. He roared in fury, “Go and check the codes immediately and see which part went wrong!
“And you!”
Mr. Adams pointed at his subordinates.
“I want all of you to go and check your respective parts. If this serious code error had been tested in public and used by the users, it would’ve led to very bad consequences!”
One must admit that Coreana’s technicians had basic professional qualities.
The men rushed back to their seats and began checking for bugs, stealing glances at Jasper as they worked.
They were both astounded and curious, wanting to know who it was who found the bug.
This was a question that was bothering Mr. Adams too.
“Mr. Laine, who found this bug? Is favonovel.com a Coreanan?” Mr. Adams asked straight away.
Jasper replied indifferently, “I will give you an answer later, Mr. Adams. Since we have successfully proven the bug and loophole, do you think you can execute the rest of the amended suggestions?”
Mr. Adams said while pulling a long face, “Although detecting a bug has proven that the man who made this suggestion is someone with a certain level of skill, I must say that the other amended suggestions favonovel.com made have shown that he’s a person who knows nothing about games.
“For example, the so-called beginner’s mission as well as the daily missions. Does favonovel.com not know that doing so would speed up the players’ beginner-stage development and the progress of the game? If the players receive too much in the game, the lifespan of the game will decrease sharply.
“Forget it, Mr. Laine. You don’t work in our industry, so you won’t know what I’m talking about. I think you should summon that person and I’ll teach favonovel.com how games are developed,” Mr. Adams said arrogantly.
Jasper shook his head at Mr. Adams’ arrogance. It was no wonder Coreana, the country that was at the forefront of the world when it came to high-grade high-precision advanced technology, could only rest on its laurels in the future. The citizens of this country seemed to all have an unfounded sense of superiority.
“Mr. Adams, you must know that abusing the players isn’t the only way a game can shoot to fame. Players must gain something and have something to look forward to. There must be something the players are eager to do in the game at all times.
“Take leveling up for example, or treasure-hunting, or even defeating a much stronger boss. Then there’s also the social systems, take guilds, for example, or sworn brothers—even marriage systems.”
These are all listed down to be added into the game in the amended suggestions. These will get players to linger in this virtual world and make them reluctant to leave, not giving them one boring and tedious thing to do repeatedly the whole time.”
The revisions that Jasper made were all recognized by the market in later generations. Even the world’s first online game, World of Warcraft, had adopted these advantages created by the domestic operators.
“If you don’t believe me, Mr. Adams, let’s make a bet,” Jasper said when favonovel.com noticed Mr. Adams’ disapproving gaze.
“Oh? What would you like to bet, Mr. Laine? I don’t want to bet money because no one here is wealthier than you,” Mr. Adams ridiculed.
“You will follow all instructions in this list of amended suggestions and implement all functions accordingly. If the number of players is less than two million on the day of the open beta testing, then I’ll pay you one million US dollars straight away.”
Jasper’s words left Mr. Adams tremendously shocked.
“Two million?! That’s impossible!”
In Coreana, even the most popular game had only recorded hundreds of thousands of online players at a time. Even if Somerland was a dozen times bigger than Coreana, Somerland had almost no foundation in online games. Having 500,000 players was good enough.
“If it’s impossible, then why don’t you just agree to the bet, Mr. Adams? Perhaps this is the time when I will give you money for nothing.”
