System: Master Your Life

Chapter 886 222: End of Semester (Business)_2

Two hundred million a month, Xu Lin felt pretty good about it and developed quite a fondness for Alibaba.

This would also be the last time he added domestic servers for this game; expanding into foreign markets would be another matter altogether.

After sorting out the servers, Xu Lin posted a Weibo: Currently preparing to add 7,000 cloud servers.

This was a matter regarding servers, just one sentence, merely a notification on Weibo.

"Young Master Xu, when will the game marketplace be launched? By the way, does this game even have a marketplace? The last game did."

"It probably does, it's just that Young Master Xu hasn't updated it yet."

"Hurry up and update it, this game is so amazing, only a hundred bucks. I even want to contribute more money to it; otherwise, I worry Young Master Xu won't have enough money for development."

"If you do open a marketplace, can you list some high-priced items? Otherwise, how am I supposed to spend my three-million-a-month allowance? Otherwise, how will I distinguish myself from the poor folks?"

"When will the foreign market open? Who understands the pain of being an overseas student? I can't even play the game, just watching livestreams to quench my thirst."

"Things are exploding overseas, foreign social media are buzzing; not to mention the big names, the entire gaming community eagerly anticipates Young Master Xu opening the foreign market."

Xu Lin actually hadn't seen the netizens' comments.

He hadn't even finished posting his Weibo messages, and there were two more, one concerning the foreign market.

The foreign market definitely needs to open, otherwise how to quickly rake in the money?

If all went smoothly, he could start training his AI next year.

Over at the private island, the underground base was nearly ready, with a final payment of tens of billions due.

Also, in the first half of this year, Xu Lin plans to spend tens of billions to construct the island.

With such expenses, it's not just spending money like water, it's a flood of spending.

So, Xu Lin definitely needs to open the foreign market to earn some money.

Take the North American market, for example; this game sells for 100 RMB domestically, and everyone knows the exchange rate between RMB and USD is around 7.

100 RMB is less than 14 US Dollars.

My game sells for less than 14 bucks in North America?

What a joke.

100 RMB is a benefit for my compatriots, but you foreigners must give the highest respect: standardized at 100 dollars in Europe and America, with the game marketplace's microtransactions also increased by 100%.

Without competitors, I can be willful, play if you want or not.

Besides, since the Opium War, these powers have taken too much from Huaxia.

As the ancients said: A gentleman seeks revenge from morning till night.

That's Xu Lin's attitude.

"But I've oversimplified things. For the game to enter the European and American markets, the politicians there will demand my technology, and capitalists will require revenue sharing; otherwise, they wouldn't let me in, and envy would abound."

North America is a consumer giant with staggering purchasing power; otherwise, would products from all over the world flock to this place? It's due to their strong consumption capacity.

If he can enter this market, with Xu Lin's game being unique, he'd achieve monopoly status on the product, earning a fortune for sure.

But conversely, numerous real-world factors would get in the way; success was only smooth in the domestic market.

Overseas is a completely different concept.

"Forget it, I'll think about it after the New Year."

Weibo 1: Foreign market TBD, currently I have no plans to venture into the foreign market.

Many overseas Chinese, or those foreigners, immediately lamented.

Xu Lin's Weibo was followed by many, both domestically and internationally; people even climbed over the Great Firewall to see it.

Currently, he's a big name, watched by many.

Since "Man's Guide to Reversing Fortune," Xu Lin's game had taken the world by storm, as Xu Lin's previous papers were purely theoretical and garnered attention only within academia, with little outside interest.

But when Xu Lin's game was released, people realized it was something else entirely; Young Master Xu's actions were too significant.

Yet, "Man's Guide to Reversing Fortune" was palatable; now with the release of his second game, the technologically advanced Western world was thoroughly unsettled.

One must know that over the past century, it has primarily been the West that pushed human civilization in technology, politics, economy, and ideology forward.

Especially in technological progress, it was mainly driven by the West.

But now, the person who is starting to advance technological progress is clearly appearing in the East — this Young Master Xu.

After purchasing the game, Chinese streamers immediately started broadcasting on major domestic platforms, earning countless gifts over just a few days.

Seeing profitability, these days, numerous people have been livestreaming "Xian" on various platforms, attracting multiples of attention compared to the previous "Black Myth: Wukong."

Those with connections weren't competing with other domestic streamers but were streaming on YouTube overseas.

YouTube, with over 2.7 billion monthly active users and due to platform mechanisms, has few bots, making them mostly real users. It's a global platform used by people from every country.

The domestic streamers traveling abroad to stream on YouTube were among the first to reap the rewards, earning so much in three days that they could buy and fully renovate a house in a first-tier city, achieving a reversal of fortune.

Conversely, with their live broadcasts serving as a medium, a great many foreigners learned about this truly epoch-making masterpiece.

Thus, as time fermented, more and more people learned about Young Master Xu's second game, causing a sensation in the news across multiple countries.
