  September 5th, Wednesday…


  Yu Fei sat at his desk and had just planned the changes that needed to be coordinated with Meng Chang’s publicity plan. He had also handed it to the designers.

  Strictly speaking, Meng Chang’s request was not difficult. It was just a little troublesome and needed some time. What’s more, it was a little strange.

  Yu Fei did not ask much. He only divided the entire downloadable content into four parts and handed it to his designers.

  After arranging his work, Yu Fei received a message from Hu Xianbin.

  “I’ll arrive in Jingzhou around 3 PM this afternoon. I’ll make a trip to the office to hand over my work. Sorry to trouble you during this period!”


  Yu Fei could not help but feel energized when he saw the message.

  Great! Hu Xianbin is finally back from his holiday!

  It was a pity that if he had returned two or three days earlier, the work given by Meng Chang would have been handed over to Hu Xianbin directly. There would have been no need to worry about it.

  The timing was not very coincidental.

  However, he just had to go through the motions. This bit of work was not a big problem.

  He had completed the last task before handover. It was also a perfect end to his ‘cross-border experience’!

  Yu Fei leaned back in his chair and stretched. He did not have much work on hand now. It could be said that he was relaxed and was just waiting for the handover.

  Based on his calculations, Hu Xianbin and the others had been gone for about a month, roughly 27 or 28 days.

  There were no particularly strict requirements for the specific days of travel. It did not mean that they had to play outside for the entire 30 days or about four weeks.

  Obviously, Hu Xianbin and Huang Sibo felt that the limelight was over and could return to continue working. They were eager to go home.

  Yu Fei also hoped that Hu Xianbin would come back early. He could continue to be an online author after the handover.

  He had been thinking about his new book for a long time. He had already thought about the world, the basic settings, and the outline many times. Now, he was very eager to start writing and let the new book meet the readers.

  Yu Fei made the decision to release an announcement after his designers confirmed that there were no problems.

  He would update the first part of Eternal Reincarnation on Saturday.

  At the same time, the announcement would explain the entire update process clearly and inform players in advance.

  After doing all of this, Yu Fei cleaned up all his traces on the computer. He left the place exactly the same as when he arrived.

  “The one-month shift is finally over!” Yu Fei heaved a sigh of relief.

  Min Jingchao came over and said, “I’ve already arranged for a meal at Ming House tonight. Take it as Hu Xianbin’s gratitude to you. Let him treat you.”


  Yu Fei was stunned. “Can’t he claim expenses for it?”


  Min Jingchao sniggered. “How insincere is it? We have to slaughter him!”


  …


  At 3 PM in the afternoon…


  Huang Sibo and Hu Xianbin walked out of the airport and found Little Sun, who was in charge of receiving them.

  “Please, get into the car.” Little Sun was very diligent as he helped to carry their luggage.

  Huang Sibo and Hu Xianbin sat in the car and felt emotional as they scrolled through their cell phones.

  “Little Sun is actually here to pick us up today. Are the other drivers not free? I feel like the treatment has improved.”


  Everyone knew that Little Sun was Boss Pei’s designated driver. Normally, his priority was Boss Pei. The other drivers would be the ones to ferry the others around.

  This time, it was Little Sun who came to pick them up. This made Hu Xianbin and Huang Sibo a little surprised.

  However, they did not think too much about it. Perhaps Boss Pei did not need to use the car today.

  Both of them leaned comfortably on their seats, took out their cell phones and began to surf the web pages.

  They were not that tired even though they had been traveling for a month.

  That was because they were playing in China. They ate well, stayed well, and played scenic spots that did not consume much energy. In addition, they had basically been resting in the hotel for the first two days of the return trip. Thus, their stamina had recovered very well.

  After a month of leave, they could not wait to get back to work.

  Huang Sibo was still thinking about the filming of ‘Successor’. He knew that the production team had already arrived in the United States. He planned to rest for a few days after arriving in Jingzhou and make preparations. Then, he would book a flight and fly over.

  As for Hu Xianbin, he was still thinking about the development of Eternal Reincarnation.

  As he browsed the webpage, Hu Xianbin suddenly exclaimed.

  “Eternal Reincarnation released an update announcement? Isn’t that too early?”


  He remembered clearly that the development cycle of Eternal Reincarnation would be to be completed by the end of this month. What’s more, this was a relatively smooth situation.

  Why was there an update announcement at the beginning of the month?

  It couldn’t have made it so fast, right?

  Hu Xianbin quickly clicked on it and read the details of the announcement.

  The announcement clearly stated these few points.

  First of all, the downloadable content for Eternal Reincarnation would be updated in stages. Four times, they would update one-third of the game setting and monster resources, as well as the game’s combat system and plot parts.

  The four updates were on the 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th respectively. They were all on Friday.

  Second, the downloadable content would be pre-ordered. Players who had to pay the full amount in advance could download the corresponding updates during the corresponding time period.

  The downloadable content was not expensive. It was twenty-eight yuan.

  Players could also choose not to pre-order it. Instead, they could pay to buy the complete content of the downloadable content after the update on the 28th.

  Lastly, what needed special attention was that after the downloadable content of the 28th Eternal Reincarnation was updated, players could buy Eternal Reincarnation at will, but they could not buy Repent and be Saved at will.

  If they wanted to buy Repent and be Saved, they would have to first buy Eternal Reincarnation.

  Hu Xianbin frowned slightly.

  As the designer of Eternal Reincarnation, he naturally knew the situation of this game very well. He also knew that some of the content in the announcement was specially requested by Boss Pei.

  For example, after Eternal Reincarnation was updated, Repent and be Saved could not be bought casually. This was something that Boss Pei had specially instructed him.

  However, there was still some content that confused him. For example, this pre-order and updating in stages confused him.

  Even Hu Xianbin was confused, much less the gamers online.

  He flipped through the comments online and found that gamers were equally confused.

  Of course, there was also a little surprise. It mainly came from the early release that was far beyond their expectations.

  “F*ck! Am I seeing things? Eternal Reincarnation can be played this Friday??”


  “This is too f*cking fast. According to the official news, didn’t they just officially start developing last month? I thought that it would take at least four to five months to develop. What’s the meaning of directly skipping three months?”


  “Bliss came too suddenly! Other games would easily skip two to three months, but Tengda would do the opposite for two to three months! We can play it in advance!”


  “Look carefully, it’s pre-sales and updates in batches. Only a quarter of the game content would be updated this Friday.”


  “A quarter would do. You don’t know, I’m almost bored to death waiting without Eternal Reincarnation!”


  “Updating a portion of the content every week is very good. I’ll play a little every week and clear the game in a month. The time is perfect! I don’t have to push the game progress in a hurry like before.”


  “Hurry up and update, I can’t wait to suffer!”


  This group of players was obviously very surprised.

  That was because they had been waiting for Eternal Reincarnation for a long time. This downloadable content had already been released in June. Everyone knew that Yu Fei, the original author, would personally participate in the development of the game. The loyal players of Repent and be Saved were all very excited.

  They had thought that they would only be able to play the game in half a year. In two or three days, they would be able to play it. How surprising was that!

  However, many players expressed their worries while feeling pleasantly surprised.

  “It’s not bad to be able to play the downloadable content as soon as possible, but… the time is too tight! At the end of the day, the downloadable content has only been developed for two months. Can the quality of the game be good?”


  “Don’t you trust Tengda?”


  “It’s not a matter of trust. The key is that Tengda cannot violate natural laws. The larger the size of the game, the longer the development time would be. This time cannot be compressed casually!”


  “I don’t think this is necessarily good news either. Does this mean that our expectations for Eternal Reincarnation are too high? This might just be a small downloadable content update. It might not be a huge update that can match the original work flow and length like what we expected previously.”


  “It can also be seen from the price. Repent and be Saved’s original work is priced at 128 yuan. The downloadable content is only priced at 28 yuan. This means that the downloadable content is probably only a quarter of the original work. It might not even be enough!”


  “At the very most, they would create a large-scale setting…”


  “That’s not right. Where’s the Martial God in the original work? Didn’t he say that he would enter hell and become the first Prison Keeper? If we show all of these plots, it would not be any smaller than Repent and be Saved.”


  “I can understand the pre-order, but why can’t I buy Repent and be Saved alone after Eternal Reincarnation is updated? Why can I buy Eternal Reincarnation as a standalone? Which is the main body and who is the downloadable content?”


  “What if you don’t want to play Eternal Reincarnation but only want to play Repent and be Saved?”


  “That can’t be. Are there still people who haven’t bought Repent and be Saved?”


  “If you don’t want to play Eternal Reincarnation, buy Repent and be Saved before the end of the month.”


  “Actually, just think about it the other way. You can treat ‘Eternal Reincarnation’ as the main body. It is only sold for 28 yuan. You can only buy the Downloadable content, Repent and be Saved at 128 yuan if you buy the main body. You can use 28 yuan to get the main body. Wouldn’t that be a killing?”


  “F*ck, what a logical genius. I’m convinced!”


  Obviously, the players were all confused. They did not understand the meaning of such an arrangement.

  Wasn’t this just chop and change?

  Whether the downloadable content was disassembled and updated four times or the positions of the main body and downloadable content were reversed, it all looked a little superfluous and meaningless.

  What was even more worrying was that the development period was too short. The game content would definitely be reduced correspondingly even though the price was cheap.

  They had been looking forward to a large downloadable content that was the same size as the main body, but in the end, it was just a minor update. That was too disappointing.
