The Points Shop opened, and the shelves were filled with all sorts of items.
Of course, everything here, whether it was items, skills, or anything else, came from the King of Fighters game.
Xu Dan looked at the skills, feeling excited.
The optimized King of Fighters game provided the most direct experience of the skills.
If he could exchange for the skills in the shop, then he could also release those dazzling skills, just like those characters!
How cool!
Unfortunately, each skill had a sky-high price!

"When will I be able to use these skills!"
In the Points Shop, even the most basic King of Fighters skill cost 500 points. After today's operation...
Filling the arcade to the brim, he'd earned a single-digit amount of points – 2.
Xu Dan felt like crying!
Players' reviews of King of Fighters were undoubtedly perfect, a masterpiece. What they lacked now was scale!
Such a great game, even he, the developer, couldn't help but play a few rounds. How could it be stuck in a tiny arcade forever?
The arcade was just a small puddle; it definitely couldn't contain a dragon yearning for the deep sky!
With more players, the playtime would naturally explode. Even if each person only played one match for a few minutes, the millions of players would add up to a huge number!
With playtime numbers, there would be points!
With points, you could exchange for skills!
"Liva, put your current work on hold for a moment," Xu Dan said, standing up.
King of Fighters had already been released. Now, the two of them were researching new characters.
The initial King of Fighters only had a few characters, and new characters would be added with version updates.
This would ensure the game's vitality!
It was the same principle as League of Legends constantly updating its heroes, or CrossFire constantly updating its equipment.
And Liva was currently drawing new character concept art.
Hearing the voice, she adjusted her blue light glasses. This little girl took good care of herself, knowing that working in the gaming industry meant basically being glued to a computer. She always carried a set of 'equipment' in her bag.
Liva was very pretty, and her skin was also excellent. She instantly transformed into an anime girl with glasses, "Hmm? What's up?"
"I've decided not to rush the new character's production for now. We need to focus on promotion first! Design a few promotional posters!"
Liva pouted. She had just roughly sketched a character, and this feeling of being interrupted midway was very uncomfortable, but she had to obey Xu Dan's orders, "Okay, my dear boss!"
Seeing Liva's dissatisfaction, Xu Dan, with dark circles under his eyes, chuckled and said, "I'll treat you to dinner later!"
There's a famous saying: never underestimate the power of promotion.
Xu Dan wholeheartedly agreed with this.
He didn't have the funds for proper TV advertising right now.
But he could spread the word like a carpet.
The real-world population was also a significant number.
And he was confident that any player who tried King of Fighters would absolutely fall in love with the game!
This kind of promotion would also provide a more intuitive view of the results.
Another major reason was that social media platforms weren't widely used yet; otherwise, the King of Fighters players' own social circles could connect a massive amount of traffic!
With a game of this quality, anyone who didn't praise it was missing out.
Especially the sense of accomplishment from recommending this masterpiece to friends and watching them get hooked!
Actually, the players are now actively introducing King of Fighters to others and encouraging them to play, it's just not as widespread as online transmission.
"Boss, what kind of promotion are we going to do? Is it still centered around Mai Shiranui this time?" Liva suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Xu Dan pondered for a moment. The reason he treated Mai Shiranui as the main character was because sexiness trumps everything!
But now that he thought about it, always featuring Mai Shiranui as the center on the posters seemed a bit monotonous.
Most of the players attracted this way were coming for Mai Shiranui.
"How about this, I'm planning to create a bit of an interesting topic," Xu Dan's lips suddenly curled into an intriguing smile.
"What interesting topic?"
"A fighting tournament!"
"A fighting tournament?"
"That's right, the first fighting tournament! It's being called Season 1!"
Isn't that what all competitive games do?
Throw in a little hype, and you'll have a bunch of passionate players cheering you on.
And the profits from a single match are far greater than that little bit of hype!
If players want to participate, they have to train!
And to train, they have to pay to use the machines and spend time practicing!
For him, time equals cold, hard points!
If a single player spends five hours practicing, it's no big deal. But what if a thousand, or even ten thousand players, all dedicate their time to practice?
Holding a competition is a win-win situation, and it's absolutely necessary!
"I understand!" Liva nodded. Since it's a competition, the artwork definitely needs to emphasize the tension of the opposing forces.
This is nothing!
She graduated from Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. Well, let's just say she possesses some special talents.
Yes, this talent can be called a superpower.
And this school can also be called the X-Men.
Her superpower is creating models! She can conjure all sorts of models just by imagining them!
It was just a model, an 'electronic form' of art on the computer.
However, her classmates often mocked her for this ability, saying it was a superpower suited for construction work.
Images of the King of Fighters characters flashed through her mind.
Finally, she decided on Mai Shiranui, the 'female lead', and Orochi, whom she thought was the coolest.
She wanted to pit these two against each other.
There was a dazzling sense of impact, a fusion of darkness and flames!
Soon, the image appeared on the computer screen.
She had never loved her superpower so much!
But many normal humans discriminate against mutants.
How should she confess this secret to him?
