on his bed, and found himself unable to sleep, so he began planning for the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The game’s launch was still a few days away—exactly one month from now—and overall, everything had gone smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, it was far better than his past life on Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The studio’s scale had grown from its original three members to nearly five hundred people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although most of these employees were still not yet useful, the initial twenty-seven hires had already begun to contribute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Add to that the nine classmates who came today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with Chen Wei joining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Have them handle the overseas launch and release of the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It shouldn’t be too difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the necessary procedures, when they signed the “betting agreement” with Global Inter Yu , the other party had already agreed to handle everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, they didn’t offer this service for free—they charged a certain handling fee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The price was slightly high, but still within Qin Xiaoyu’s budget.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they handled it themselves, just getting approvals from each country would waste countless hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Global Inter Yu  had offices in every country covered by their platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, their efficiency was much higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of service wasn’t unique to Global Inter Yu —other overseas platforms offered nearly identical services.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing causing Qin Xiaoyu some pain was the issue of version synchronization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xia country server would launch its new 1.1 version next month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The overseas market was originally scheduled to launch on the 1st of next month, leaving a version gap between the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Xiaoyu’s eyes lit up as he lay in bed—he realized solving this wasn’t hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment this idea surfaced in his mind, he immediately rejected it himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While this would solve the version mismatch, it would severely hurt overseas revenue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would also make the Xia country server’s 1.1 version drag on too long, pushing players prematurely into the grassing-out phase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After much thought,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Xiaoyu ultimately decided on a more balanced approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the 1.0 version launched overseas, implement dual UP gacha pools and cap the version length at around twenty days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would still mean some loss in revenue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But compared to the first option, it was far better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, after arriving at work,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Xiaoyu unusually organized a company-wide meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All 492 employees of the studio were present, except Cai Qiu and a few who were on business trips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meeting’s agenda was simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff was split into two groups: Qin Xiaoyu himself would lead about ninety people to manage the Xia country server operations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Wei would lead around three hundred people to prepare for the overseas launch of the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This included building the official website, setting up servers, pre-launch testing, and all related tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Xiaoyu cleared his throat twice and scanned the room: “The group lists will be emailed to everyone after the meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few days, our game will officially launch globally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many games from Xia country have gone overseas before, but all of them died abroad.”\u003C\u002Fp>",554,"2026-06-19T22:23:19.067Z",1,"Qwen3-Next
