Chapter 23
Chen Mo received a call at the break of dawn from Lin Mao.
“Chen Mo, I’m releasing my game tomorrow. I named it Adventures of the Storm Rider. I’ve sent you a copy of it, go ahead and try it out. Also, how’s your game going?”
2Chen Mo replied, “Cool, I’ll check it out! My game has been going pretty well, it’s basically finished. I’ll be testing it out in my experience store for feedback for the next two days.”
Lin Mao replied, “Huh? Finished? It’s only been three months! How did you complete it so quickly?”
3Chen Mo replied, “Casual game. It wasn’t big, either. I’ll send you the installer in two days for you to test out.”
Therefore he needed to charge a fee from day one, and it couldn’t be a small amount, either.
Under circumstances where there are many players, he might even need to limit the play time per player.
In this world, the internet cafes in the Imperial Capital ranged from three to ten RMB an hour. Three RMB per hour was the minimum, and wasn’t common.
Of course, there were higher class internet cafes for the local tycoons, but Chen Mo had the majority of the players in mind when he was considering it.
In the end, Chen Mo decided to make it five RMB per hour, as the experience store was better than the average internet cafe, and much more spacious than normal.
The price was definitely on the expensive end for now, but Chen Mo wanted to maintain it at this price in the future. As he made more and more games, the price would seem more and more affordable.
The drinks in the experience store were according to the recommended retail prices, not charging any extra. Chen Mo didn’t care about small profits like that, either.
3The price only applied while they were playing games. If the experience store was full, he would enforce a four-hour limit for each player, requiring them to requeue after four hours.
The experience store would be open from 10 AM to 8 PM, no overnights or hogging a PC if you’re not playing.
After preparations were complete, Chen Mo’s experience store was officially open for business at 2:30 PM!
