"The King of Fighters is too strong. We don't need to, nor can we, compete directly with it. We can't regain the American market, so we're turning our sights to Asia."
That one sentence rekindled the flames of hope in everyone.
Right! Exporting games to regions with lower technological standards was a viable option!
Although they had always operated on a global scale, their main base of operations was still America.
Shifting their primary base was still feasible.
Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., had no idea how much he'd helped Xu Dan.
At first, he had thought Xu Dan was out of his mind to ask for help with something so easy.
But now, everyone knows about the King of Fighters.
This brought Xu Dan enormous financial benefits.
He had moved into a new house, a seaside villa.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows was a cotton blanket.
On it, two people were fighting, occasionally making sounds that made one's mouth dry.
After a long while.
Liva exhaled, her skin dazzlingly white.
"Dan, could you pass me a tissue?"
Xu Dan smiled slightly, reached for the tissue box beside him, and turned to hand it to Liva.
"Here."
"Thanks, but... you can't do that inside again. It's not good."
"That's high-protein stuff, can't waste it."
"Oh, my word!"
Xu Dan slowly stood up. Suddenly, his phone beeped.
He picked up his phone unhurriedly and looked. It was a message from a Chinese person surnamed Ma, from a few days ago.
Seeing Xu Dan's expression change, Liva wiped herself and asked, "What is it, Dan?"
"The pilot program in China is a huge success, even exceeding the response in America by double!" Xu Dan said with satisfaction.
"Really?!" Liva exclaimed, throwing her napkin aside and jumping up.
As the person closest to Xu Dan, she understood the significance of this news.
King of Fighters had already become a solid success in America, with market dominance a foregone conclusion.
However, a businessman's ambition is never limited by national borders. Like those big companies, they were spreading King of Fighters worldwide. Wherever there were devices of a certain scale, there was a presence of King of Fighters.
China was in a period of rapid development. Introducing King of Fighters at this time, if successful, would undoubtedly establish an unparalleled image in the hearts of Chinese players.
This image, after being nurtured, would become what everyone called – a classic.
Furthermore, Xu Dan himself was Chinese. Achieving such great success in his 'homeland' was a feeling that nothing else could replace!
Liva was thrilled!
"Great!"
"As expected. I have confidence in the capabilities of King of Fighters." Xu Dan waved his hand. He never considered failure, only what kind of data King of Fighters would generate over there.
It seems the data is a bit crazy.
It must be said, the charm of Chinese characters has added some momentum to this game.
King of Fighters, King of Fighters. What is King of Fighters?
What is the first reaction of Americans?
But when Chinese people see this theme, they feel it's very domineering! Very attractive!
"This way, the player base will grow, and we'll make even more money!"
It's a common saying, utterly vulgar!
Xu Dan was most concerned with Points! But that was a secret he could only keep to himself, not to be shared with anyone else.
As the player base exploded, even if the average playtime wasn't long, the combined total was a terrifying number.
Correspondingly, his Points also surged like the ocean.
He opened the System's Points shop again.
He bypassed the previous skill categories at a glance, boldly looking towards those items with massive Point values.
There was no help for it; it was the same as a rich man's... well, when he had more Points, he dared to consider those high-priced goods.
Filtering - 1,000,000 Points+:
[Terry Bogard]: 1,000,000 Points
[Mature]: 1,100,000 Points
[Goro Daimon]: 1,200,000 Points
[Chang Koehan]: 1,500,000 Points
[Mai Shiranui]: 2,000,000 Points
[Kula Diamond]: 2,500,000 Points
[Chizuru Kagura]: 2,800,000 Points
"Damn it, why are the female characters twice the price of the male characters? Is this damn System messing with me?" Xu Dan cursed inwardly.
The prices the System gave were unchangeable; what you saw was what you got, not even a discount card!
Any man would want to buy a female character to play with, or rather, to look at!
But the System actually priced the female characters sky-high!
He filtered for characters with over a million Points, and the first one was a male character, exactly a million!
But, only later did female characters appear!
The first, Mai Shiranui, was directly double the price of the first male character!
What the hell is this?!
Based on Mai Shiranui's strength, she's probably worth more than that! Although, that assessment does sound a bit like I'm a slave trader.
Seriously, even the System thinks having a... well, you know... is a big deal these days!
The whole world is inflating the price of… you know!
Feeling the world's overwhelming malice, Xu Dan just gave up on female characters!
When he gets rich later, he'll buy a woman to mess around with, cough…
He added an option in the filter, removing females!
[Kyo Kusanagi]: 2,000,000 Points
[Iori Yagami: 2,000,000 Points
[Goenitz: 5,000,000 Points
[Orochi: 100,000,000 Points
Seeing this, Xu Dan subconsciously glanced at his Points balance.
His current Points totaled over five million. Although the number was still increasing, he was still far from reaching one hundred million!
If asked who he most wanted to buy here, it would undoubtedly be Orochi!
As one of the most popular characters in the King of Fighters series, there were tons of people in his past life who praised Orochi, and just as many who trashed him!
From the official lore, Orochi is the incarnation of the Earth's will, an incredibly powerful being. Though his performance in the game might not be the most impressive, the strength of the lore is what matters!
Unfortunately, Orochi's price tag is over ninety-nine million! Just one number shy of a hundred million!
Can't afford it, can't afford it!
Since that was out of the question, Xu Dan shifted his focus to Goenitz.
Goenitz is the leader of the Eight Hakkesshu, Orochi's followers, and his fighting style also draws upon the power of Orochi!
This character has the ability to manipulate wind...
Wait, the Wind Dude?
Can't afford it, can't afford it!
Since he couldn't afford it, Xu Dan decided to go for the next best thing and turned his attention to Goenitz.
Goenitz was the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Eight Hakkesshu, and his fighting style was also the power of Orochi!
This character possessed the ability to manipulate wind...
Wait, the Happy Wind Man?
