Chapter 1824 Second Life Additional Investment

"Well, since [Black Monkey] has already become a hit, then we just need to set up a team to optimize and maintain it."

"The single-player game division currently only has one single-player game, which is definitely not enough for us. The main reason I called you here today is to discuss the new arrangements."

"We need your single-player game department to form a new R&D team to develop new single-player games."

Chen Mo looked at Dong Hao and slowly spoke.

"Mr. Chen, Black Monkey has only been available for two days now. Isn't it too fast to invest in a new single-player game at this time?"

Fang Chang spoke up from the side.

"No, it's not fast. The new games have already been developed. Now is the time to develop new games."

"After thinking about it, I realized that although the single-player game 'Black Monkey' is very fun, some skilled players can finish it in a day or two, so it's not very replayable."

"I've thought about it, and this time, your single-player game department must consider this point when developing new single-player games."

"We can expand the world-building and add more gameplay elements, so that players can play for at least a month."

"The player I'm talking about is the kind of highly skilled player."

Chen Mo looked at Dong Hao and emphasized.

He also saw some of Jiang Jiu's videos when he was looking up the guide.

That guy has already finished the game, but before he finished it, he was always staying up all night.

Since this guy can endure so much, this time he'll arrange a game that takes a very long time, let's see if you can still endure it.

If it weren't for this guy's tireless promotion, the Black Monkey wouldn't have become so popular so quickly.

Chen Mo thought to himself that when the next single-player game is released, he would like to see how Jiang Jiu plays it.

"Mr. Chen, if we want to extend players' playtime, then the game content and maps definitely need to be richer."

"These things all require substantial financial support."

"Moreover, for normal players, [Black Monkey] can actually be played for a long time. Most players play it for a while after get off work during their rest time."

"In addition, some bosses are very difficult to defeat, so many people can play for a month."

"Many people complete games so quickly now, not only because they are skilled, but also because they play for a longer period of time."

Upon hearing President Chen's words, Dong Hao quickly spoke up.

"Funding is not the issue. The other issue is the game duration. For games of the same quality and price, would you rather buy one to play for 10 days or one to play for 30 days?"

Chen Mo asked.

"Mr. Chen, from a cost-effectiveness perspective, most people would definitely choose to play for 30 days, but for a gamer, they might all buy it."

Fang Chang spoke up from the side.

If both games are fun, gamers will definitely want to try both.

Chen Mo's gaze gently fell on Fang Chang. This sixth brother had even learned to argue with him.

"This is the requirement; the requirement for this single-player game development is to increase the player's playtime."

"I'll give you 50 billion yuan in funding, that shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Chen Mo was too lazy to continue the discussion and made the arrangements directly.

This 50 billion yuan investment represents the largest single-player game division he has ever made this time.

"Mr. Chen, 50 billion yuan is definitely enough."

Upon hearing President Chen's words, Dong Hao quickly replied, "The investment in [Black Monkey] was only 15 billion, but this time the investment is 50 billion, which is more than enough."

"That's enough. The funds will be transferred to Cangxue Games Company's account later."

As Chen Mo spoke, his gaze fell on Fang Chang, who was standing next to Dong Hao.

"I remember there was a project called 'Second Life' for PC games that has been in development for a long time. How is it progressing now?"

He personally designed the PC game "Second Life," and the world view is a replica of the real world in the game.

Players will be able to experience a second life in the game.

The investment has been made for some time now, but back then Tomorrow Group had not yet developed into what it is today, and the investment was not much.

At this point, it would be appropriate to make some additional investments.

"Mr. Chen, the inspection teams from all over the world are now in the final stages of their work. In about six months, they will all be able to complete their inspections."

"Once all the site visits are completed, we can begin full-scale game development."

Fang Chang quickly said, "The game [Second Life] has been in development for almost two years."

However, the game's progress is still in the planning stages, as the goal is to recreate the real world in the game as accurately as possible.

Collecting data on the world and its topography is a huge undertaking.

So far, the game is not even fully in production.

Moreover, he had never seen the concept behind this game before, and he didn't know whether it would be popular after it was developed.

"Is that so? The subsequent production of this game will definitely be a huge project. I'll add another 50 billion yuan."

Upon hearing Fang Chang's words, Chen Mo immediately spoke up.

"Mr. Chen, let me make a budget; we won't need that much."

"Did you always follow the best possible plan?"

"That's not true!"

"That's right. What I demand is high-quality games. All your games must be made to the standards of high quality, including everything, down to every single blade of grass and tree in the game."

"So, do you still think it won't cost 50 billion?"

Chen Mo looked at Fang Chang and asked.

Fang Chang shook his head upon hearing this.

"Mr. Chen, if we do it this way, it will definitely require more funds."

"Then there's no problem. Including the 50 billion from single-player games, that's a total of 100 billion, which will be transferred to your company account later."

"That's all I wanted to tell you today. Take the tea leaves on the table, and you can go home."

Chen Mo gestured to the tea leaves on the table. Things were all arranged, and the two of them should head back now.

He's resumed playing the game, and after yesterday's hard work, he's already defeated Tiger Vanguard and is now close to the final boss of Chapter Two.

"Okay Mr. Chen."

Fang Chang nodded, then picked up the tea leaves on the table and left the office with Dong Hao, who still wanted to say something.

"Mr. Fang, is it alright if we just take Mr. Chen's tea like this?"

Upon arriving outside the office, Dong Hao asked with some concern.

"This tea is a sign of Mr. Chen's approval of us. Not taking it would be disrespectful to him."

Fang Chang took out two boxes of tea and placed them in Dong Hao's hands.

This was Dong Hao's first time meeting General Manager Chen in the office. He hadn't joined the managers' group chat and didn't know anything about the tea business.
