Chapter 1412: Chapter 366: Destiny Casino Planning
Upon careful examination, Life Throat’s expression changed; the brilliance of this plan far exceeded his expectations.
It initially outlined several entertainment plans.
For example, stage plays.
Crafting plots based on the histories, cultures, and customs of various races in the Bright Star Sea Area.
Then, using the universal currency "Gold Coin" of Dream Island to pay for services, recruit those races struggling to survive, and have them enact the stage play stories.
The content need not be complex; what’s important is fragmented narration.
Each stage play should be controlled within 20-30 minutes, with the plot adopting an episodic format, ensuring tourists can understand the content at any time they enter.
In the early stages, a batch of Spirit Chef Players can be recruited, paying them with sacrificial power, allowing them to provide free food and drinks to visiting tourists.
The ingredients need not be expensive; the taste is key.
Alternatively, Spirit Chef Players need not be recruited, but instead, select cost-effective food from the Trading House to offer tourists for free.
Story explanation services can also be provided in the early stages, with members of the Destiny Clan responsible for conducting them.
Additionally, a weekly or monthly free lottery service can be offered, giving visiting guests a small chance to acquire a high-value spiritual resource for free.
The purpose of this is to stimulate initial customer flow, allowing members of various races to let down their guard with low-threshold experiences.
After all, in the survival-stressed Bright Star Sea Area, the word "free" itself carries a strong allure.
For races trapped in development dilemmas, there is no reason to refuse as they can earn a living with Gold Coins through acting while letting their people eat hot meals for free.
This holds true for other races as well; who wouldn’t want to enjoy free food and drink?
All the early groundwork is aimed at making the name "Destiny Casino" transform in the hearts of those races from an unfamiliar scene to a place where they can find joy.
Once they develop even a slight attachment to it, subsequent gambling projects could naturally integrate.
After all, who would refuse to try their luck in a place that relaxes them?
Just one attempt offers a significant probability of becoming a stable customer.
Especially those tourists who, on their first try, manage to earn resources through gambling.
After reading the plan, Life Throat suddenly looked up, his gaze toward Ah Lan clearly changed.
Before, he thought that Star Network was the character worth attention in the Moon Eclipse Clan.
Upon preliminary contact, he already saw a powerful logical analysis capability, as well as the Eye of Star Network monitoring every corner of Earth.
Even what he did upon arriving on Earth could be logically analyzed.
To his surprise, within the small Moon Eclipse Clan, there were also talented people.
Disregarding Life Throat’s change in expression, Ah Lan continued to explain:
"The second suggestion is to avoid using Luck Souls from the Destiny Treasury to add extra benefits in the early development of Destiny Casino, thereby increasing your gambling win rate."
Hearing this, Life Throat’s gaze tightened, then he seemed to think of something:
"Do you think using Luck Souls early will affect customer acquisition?"
"Exactly, in the early development of Destiny Casino, profit is not important; the core goal is to expand the platform of Destiny Casino. Even if you lose, you can derive Rule-derived Energy from it, but if you operate under Misfortune and Strong Luck, the 50% win-loss probability would be broken, affecting future expansion. Therefore, I suggest for non-critical gambling, don’t use Luck Souls unless the scale is expansive enough, and customers aren’t in short supply. That would be the time for a harvesting mode."
Life Throat looked at Ah Lan, his silver pupils finally showing some amusement:
"Your approach is indeed more circuitous than relying solely on rule suppression."
"In business, the key is to operate quietly and subtly, and longevity is more important than anything."
Ah Lan’s suggestion instantly inspired Life Throat to consider revising Destiny Casino’s early plans; he felt Ah Lan’s proposal was more prudent than his own concept.
After listening to Ah Lan’s narration, a few strands of honesty appeared in Life Throat’s silver pupils:
"You’re right, I was lacking in consideration. In my long years of growth, I only understood ’equivalent gambling,’ never considering the importance of attraction and groundwork. You’ve taught me a lesson."
Ah Lan shook his head with a smile:
"I can understand your thinking. Born in the Monster World, you and us born on Earth have fundamentally different ways of thinking. In the Monster World, there is only plundering and being plundered, no talk of ’business.’ What you devote your lives to studying is the use of rules and the rapid growth of your race. As for earning profits through business methods, these complex matters are something you’d never consider."
"Only by becoming players with an infinite margin for error would you think of these things; the environment didn’t give you the opportunity to learn."
Ah Lan’s words undoubtedly gave him sufficient dignity.
A warmth rose in Life Throat’s heart.
From Ah Lan’s words, he could tell that Ah Lan was willing to share the benefits brought by the development of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce with him.
Truly thinking of him as a member of the same faction.
Accustomed to the harsh competitive environment of the Monster World, he felt warmth from an Alien Race for the first time.
During Ah Lan’s narration, he pointed out the limitations in Life Throat’s understanding, but attributed the root cause to the "environment," like a soft sword, subtly disarming his pride as a demigod without any loss of self-esteem.
"Thank you" said Life Throat, looking down at the dancing light and shadow in the tea, then downing it in one gulp, his tone softened significantly:
"After becoming a player, I indeed saw many paths never imagined before. Without relying on plunder, a race can thrive; without rule suppression, others can willingly cooperate with you. Especially in your Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, I’ve learned a lot, and even the initial concept of Destiny Casino came from the development model of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce."
"Then, I wish you wealth in advance." Ah Lan extended his right hand towards Life Throat in a uniquely earthly gesture of friendliness.
Life Throat first froze, then followed, reaching out his right hand, gently grasping Ah Lan’s palm:
"Happy cooperation."
The sea breeze carried the hustle and bustle from the distant Trading Market, and the two on the rooftop exchanged a glance.
Both saw the anticipation for the future in the other’s eyes.
This place, blending a Trading Market and equivalent gambling, using entertainment as bait and resources as the scheme,
is about to stir up a different kind of tide in this sea area.
