Chapter 76: Switched Out?

The drinking session ended.

Back at his rented apartment, Qin Xiaoyu took a hot shower, lay on his bed, and found himself unable to sleep, so he began planning for the future.

The game’s launch was still a few days away—exactly one month from now—and overall, everything had gone smoothly.

At least, it was far better than his past life on Earth.

The studio’s scale had grown from its original three members to nearly five hundred people.

Although most of these employees were still not yet useful, the initial twenty-seven hires had already begun to contribute.

Add to that the nine classmates who came today.

And with Chen Wei joining.

Have them handle the overseas launch and release of the game.

It shouldn’t be too difficult.

Regarding the necessary procedures, when they signed the “betting agreement” with Global Inter Yu , the other party had already agreed to handle everything.

Of course, they didn’t offer this service for free—they charged a certain handling fee.

The price was slightly high, but still within Qin Xiaoyu’s budget.

After all,

If they handled it themselves, just getting approvals from each country would waste countless hours.

Global Inter Yu had offices in every country covered by their platform.

Naturally, their efficiency was much higher.

In fact,

This kind of service wasn’t unique to Global Inter Yu —other overseas platforms offered nearly identical services.

Now,

The only thing causing Qin Xiaoyu some pain was the issue of version synchronization.

The Xia country server would launch its new 1.1 version next month.

The overseas market was originally scheduled to launch on the 1st of next month, leaving a version gap between the two.

Quickly,

Qin Xiaoyu’s eyes lit up as he lay in bed—he realized solving this wasn’t hard.

The simplest solution: extend the Xia country server’s 1.1 version by fifteen days, and shorten the overseas market’s 1.0 version by fifteen days.

But,

The moment this idea surfaced in his mind, he immediately rejected it himself.

While this would solve the version mismatch, it would severely hurt overseas revenue.

It would also make the Xia country server’s 1.1 version drag on too long, pushing players prematurely into the grassing-out phase.

After much thought,

Qin Xiaoyu ultimately decided on a more balanced approach.

After the 1.0 version launched overseas, implement dual UP gacha pools and cap the version length at around twenty days.

This would still mean some loss in revenue.

But compared to the first option, it was far better.

……

The next day, after arriving at work,

Qin Xiaoyu unusually organized a company-wide meeting.

All 492 employees of the studio were present, except Cai Qiu and a few who were on business trips.

The meeting’s agenda was simple.

The staff was split into two groups: Qin Xiaoyu himself would lead about ninety people to manage the Xia country server operations.

Chen Wei would lead around three hundred people to prepare for the overseas launch of the game.

This included building the official website, setting up servers, pre-launch testing, and all related tasks.

Qin Xiaoyu cleared his throat twice and scanned the room: “The group lists will be emailed to everyone after the meeting.

In just a few days, our game will officially launch globally.

Many games from Xia country have gone overseas before, but all of them died abroad.”
