I'm just a vocational school student

"Oh my god, I'm dead, I'm dead."

Watching his Warrior get zapped three times and die, Li Wenjie stood up in shock.

"Chen Yu, is this your character?"

"Yeah."

"No, it can't be."

"Why don't you come take a look?"

With lightning speed, Li Wenjie rushed to Chen Yu's computer.

"Level 40."

"A level 40 Wizard."

"Ah, huh..."

Li Wenjie was in disarray.

"Is this really your character?"

"Yeah."

"How did you level up to 40?"

"It's a secret."

Chen Yu smiled.

Seeing his own name turn yellow, Chen Yu felt a bit helpless. "By the way, do we still need to duel?"

In the game, intentionally killing another player once would give you a yellow name. If you kill another player while your name is yellow, it turns red.

"Why duel now? How can my level 26 Warrior compete with your level 40 Wizard?"

"But didn't you keep talking about dueling earlier? Come on, let's do it."

"I was wrong, okay?"

"Alright."

Chen Yu didn't press the matter with Li Wenjie.

"Li Wenjie, I've got something else to do. You guys can continue playing."

After playing The Legend of Mir 2 for a while, Chen Yu exited the game.

"Chen Yu, you're leaving so soon?"

Chen Yu got off the computer, and at this moment, Wang Pangzi greeted him. "Don't you want to play a bit more, Chen Yu? By the way, how's it going on your end? Looks good to me."

"Good? Brother Pang, you should know, I've been spending a lot of money lately."

"That's how it is with running a website. My cousin says that running a website is like an endless pit. No matter how much money you have, you could still run out of it."

"That's true."

"Or how about I give you back the 5,000 yuan? After all, our workshop needs to upgrade too. It's not right to take advantage of you."

"Brother Pang, don't be so polite. This isn't taking advantage at all. Your workshop is doing great. You recently made it to the top in the new Legends server. It's not only boosting our website's reputation, but you've also made quite a bit of profit."

"It's thanks to you, really. Without you, we wouldn't have gotten such a good start. Let's grab a late-night snack together sometime."

"Sorry, Brother Pang, I can't eat for the next few days. It's pretty busy on my end with the workshop. I'll treat you next time."

"Sounds good, I'll be looking forward to your treat then."

After chatting with Wang Pangzi for a while, Chen Yu returned to the workshop.

"Jian Ge, how's it going? Are you familiar with the operations now?"

"I'm pretty much familiar with them. In fact, we've already posted a lot of news on the homepage."

"Oh, let me take a look."

Chen Yu opened 5173.

Because they had added new sections, 5173 was no longer just about selling equipment; it now offered game news as well.

"Where did you get these news articles?"

"Most of them are from official game websites, and some are taken from other sources."

"Other sources? Like 17173?"

"Oh, how did you know?"

Zhang Jianming felt a bit embarrassed. "Yes, some of them were taken from 17173."

"Delete the ones you took from there. Next time, don't source content from there. We should have our own content providers."

"Understood."

Zhang Jianming nodded. "However, 17173 seems to be making significant moves recently. I looked at their IP traffic, and while they may not match us overall, their PV is substantial, indicating a lot of potential."

"PV, Jian Ge, impressive. It seems like you're improving every day."

PV, short for Page Views, counted the number of times a page was visited, with each visit incrementing the count by 1. It was different from IP visits, which recorded the number of unique IP addresses visiting a site.

If a website had a high number of IP visits but a low PV count, it meant visitors weren't engaged with the site's content. On the other hand, a website with low IP visits but a high PV count indicated that it was highly engaging, as visitors explored multiple pages.

"Well, I don't know much about it, to be honest. Wang Chang told me about it, and she suggested I research Alexa as well. She said it would benefit our website operations."

Alexa was initially a search engine company but was best known for its global IP website ranking tool. By visiting alexa.com, you could access various traffic data for your own website and even view data for other large websites.

"Wang Chang is right. It would be good for you to learn more about it in your spare time. However, speaking of 17173, it's now become our competitor."

Previously, Chen Yu only focused on virtual item trading, which didn't conflict with 17173. But now that he was expanding into news and adopting a similar approach, they were in the same lane as 17173, following the gaming portal route.

Fortunately, 17173 hadn't grown much yet and was far from becoming the dominant gaming portal it would be in the future.

"Chen Yu, what should we do?"

"Content."

"Content?"

"Yes."

"Jian Ge, didn't you just take some articles from 17173? Why did you get them from there? It's because 17173 has some unique content that other websites don't have."

"That's right."

Zhang Jianming nodded, "In that case, we need to establish our own content team as well."

"Absolutely."

What's the most important thing for an internet website? Some say it's IP traffic. As long as the IP traffic is high, the website has value. But on a deeper level, the most crucial aspect of a website is not IP traffic; it's the content. Without outstanding website content, even if a site has high IP traffic, it doesn't hold much value. Just like in the future, Happy Net, or rather Kaixin001, would have massive IP traffic but would eventually go bankrupt because its content was too one-dimensional.

"Jian Ge, I'll leave the website's content to you."

Chen Yu didn't continue to instruct Zhang Jianming. He intended to let Zhang Jianming think for a few days. Of course, he didn't expect Zhang Jianming to come up with ideas all at once. But since he had brought Zhang Jianming to his side, he needed to nurture him to some extent.

"Ah, leave it to me?"

Zhang Jianming was a bit flustered. "I can't, Chen Yu, I can't do it."

"Why can't you?"

"I don't know how."

"You can learn, can't you?"

"I don't know where to learn."

"It's simple, just think and brainstorm. It's like when we were working on the game, we were constantly thinking of ways to develop profitable avenues."

"But..."

"There's no 'but'. I'm going now."

Website operation takes time, and Chen Yu had some spare time for now.

"I can't believe he's leaving just like that."

"What's wrong, Jian Ge?"

"What else? Chen Zong just gave us a task."

"What task?"

"He wants us to create unique content resources."

"What do you mean by 'unique content resources'?"

"It means news, articles, and information that other websites don't have."

Zhang Jianming was extremely stressed. In his heart, he wanted to say, "I'm just a vocational school student; I don't know anything." However, he didn't voice those words. He knew that Chen Yu had given him an opportunity, and if he continued to be passive as he had in the past, his future would remain the same.
