Xia Duo clicked on the information tab, which currently only contained some basic function introductions for this Communication Mystery Lock update. Xia Duo only glanced at it briefly and didn't read any more.

"By the way, have you made the consultation release magic weapon?" Sha Duo asked Niya.

"Not yet, but it has been initially designed, using the gateway idea you mentioned before."

"Well, when it's actually finished, let me test it first."

The consultation and release of magical artifacts is actually not only for the Severnton Council, but also for the relevant personnel responsible for information release in the Tower of Time in the future.

After all, it is impossible for them to directly operate the mysterious lock, so the consultation and release magic weapon will first link to a total linker associated with 280,000 node magic weapons, which is similar to a gateway.

All operations will be gathered at the gateway first, and will be released after being personally confirmed by Xia Duo. If it is made into a forum in the future, special people will be arranged to do this.

Of course, correspondingly, the myth lock permissions involved in the forum will also be reduced to a minimum, because this is the place where the risk of a myth lock being invaded is theoretically the highest.

Not only do we need to reduce the permissions, we also need to arrange for dedicated administrators to check from time to time. This is actually the inevitable maintenance cost of operating a large platform.

Or they don't consider these trivial matters, and even release the nodes used to ensure control, so that it can be truly shared by all users. However, without maintainers, it is hard to say what the platform will eventually develop into.

Xia Duo still prefers to let the Tower of Time take control and then pay the maintenance cost for it.

Of course, paying maintenance costs does not mean making less money. In fact, it will be more profitable than letting it go. Control means monopoly. No matter how high the degree, it is always easier to make money than everyone competing equally.

But on the other hand, Xia Duo is not willing to run such a platform just to make money, but should play a more important role.

…

Since Xia Duo currently does not have a total linker associated with 280,000 nodes, it is still quite cumbersome to control the mystery lock, so he did not try to release new information.

But he asked Niya to release a new message for the next marketing campaign when she made the consulting release magic weapon.

"What new news are you going to announce?" Niya asked.

"Let's just say that all those who hold the Tower of Time's new communication magic weapon should show this announcement to the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce store, and they can get a 200 gold coin discount when purchasing the new communication magic weapon."

The marketing plan that Xia Duo came up with was simple and crude, it was to save money, and it didn't require any fancy operations. It only required showing the store a reduction or exemption announcement.

The intention is of course not to buy another communication device for existing users, but to give them the motivation to recommend new users. The 200 gold coins that are waived can be divided equally between the two, and everyone can make money.

However, this still requires the cooperation of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce. After all, the communication magic weapon of the Tower of Time is currently sold by the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce. In order to ensure the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce's share, the gold coins and other costs reduced by this marketing event need to be released. Come out from this side of the tower.

Chateau is planning to send Cecily to the headquarters of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce tomorrow. Of course, they want to talk about not only the marketing activities after the Mystery Lock update, but also many value-added services such as the best display space in the store, additional introductions by store clerks, and so on.

Of course, the most important thing is to let the public know about the information advertising service on the new communication magic weapon. In the future, as the number of communication users continues to increase, there will no longer be a faster way to release information to a large number of potential paying users.

Fees are inevitable.

The first one to try out was the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce. The two parties have a deep cooperation, which makes it easy to calculate the advertising effect. At the same time, you need to consult the professionals of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce for specific advertising quotations.

So the first trial is considered a gift, and we can discuss it later.

…

Xia Duo has not tried the last function to be released. Although it is shown as being to be released, it has actually been developed and updated. However, considering that the next Mystery Lock update may take a long time, I only save a little bit to update it slowly.

The most important function among them is of course the Void Warehouse. Of course, the current Void Warehouse is still connected to the Mystery Lock in the form of plug-in components, and the maintenance cost is high.

Even if it is opened in the future, it will not be open to all users. There will definitely be a membership level so that advanced users who pay more can enjoy this convenient service.

Therefore, among the functions to be opened are related to membership level and payment. Considering the acceptance level of users, these functions must be conducted at least several market surveys before they are considered for opening.

In addition to the void warehouse, there are also online shopping malls and other things that have been laid this time, but they will basically not be opened because the relevant functions have not been fully developed, at least in Xia Duo's view, but some basic functions can already be implemented. .

What Sha Duo is most worried about now is actually the acceptance of Master Nese for the Void Warehouse. The simplest and crudest solution is of course to lower the price. As long as the price is low enough, so low that even a temporary warehouse is cost-effective, there will definitely be a large number of them. People are willing to try.

The Void Warehouse on the Elf side is actually a combination of "warehouse + safe", and the related business model is mature. Most businessmen and even individuals are willing to use it. The only thing that needs to be considered is the price.

In Netheril, the concept of safes may not be accepted by Netheril mages for a long time in the future. If it is only a temporary warehouse, Shado himself will not be satisfied.

In the current form of existence of the void warehouse, if it were made into a cheap temporary warehouse, it would probably lose everything.

So next, Xia Duo will go from two aspects. On the one hand, it is of course the so-called discipline of users, or cultivating user habits, and on the other hand, it will improve the existence form of the void warehouse.

He had previously learned the demiplane transformation technology combined with the Mystery Lock in the Red Heart Alliance, or to be more precise - it was what he learned during his freshman year at Red Heart University.

To use it on the Void Warehouse, you need to design a new mystery lock, or integrate it into the previously used communication mystery lock. Shado himself prefers to design a new mystery lock.

On the one hand, of course, Niya's emotions are taken care of. On the other hand, the more functions the communication mystery lock has, the more difficult it will be to update it in the future.

The biggest difficulty is of course the number of nodes, but if new functions continue to increase uncontrollably, it is not surprising that it will be difficult to keep up with the number of nodes.

In addition, using a multi-mystery design is also conducive to risk sharing. Some functions that are relatively single and do not require frequent updates can be placed in other mythos, and the communication mystery is used as a unified mystery that connects multiple affiliated mystery locks. frame.

At this time, Xia Duo's current ideas will be further improved in the future, but the most permanent method is actually to develop a hot update method for the Mystery Lock.
