Chapter 114: Chapter 62: Blue Star also established an Ark Jade Foot Bar? Ke Jin was elected as the bulletin board Master!_3

Brother Tong Zi still had a soft heart. The reward for this task was practically a giveaway.

The second day wasn’t even over, and they had already surged to 55 million, successfully completing the special tasks as well.

But Ke Jin knew very well in his heart.

With the kind of pricing he set, it was actually very difficult to see such a spike in revenue streams.

The surge was due to shortening the operational lifespan of the game in exchange for quick gains.

The current pools for new players, core players, and limited-time events were stuffed with either fundamental characters, Illusion Gods, or essentials for newbies setting out.

Maxed-out strength, low monetization charges, high chances of payout.

Players couldn’t resist the temptation; everyone wanted to get their hands on one.

Moreover, the tower defense genre was still a novel concept on Blue Star. With the novelty enticing players and the allowance for in-game spending, who wouldn’t want to join in?

However, the consequence of this was also quite clear.

The game would lack staying power afterward.

You could tell from the revenue, 45 million on the first day, and by the evening of the second day, only 10 million more had been added.

The players had gotten what they wanted, and the additional 10 million just came from new players trickling in.

As time passed, the gain would become less and less, eventually stabilizing within a certain range.

Ke Jin estimated that maintaining a monthly revenue of thirty to fifty million in the future would be quite good, considering the pricing was much cheaper than the original world’s "porridge".

Besides, it was important for the operation department to focus on producing subsequent main storylines. They could start planning for the "Puppet Shadow" events to avoid players getting bored too easily.

These were things that were meant to be done in the second or third year of the game’s operation, but Ke Jin had exhausted them all in one go.

But it was a mix of pros and cons.

At least, now there was the start-up capital for the next game, which allowed for attempts to create bigger types of games to strike while the iron was hot and consolidate more users.

Once the ultimate gift box was unlocked, it would be an instant takeoff!

Speaking of the ultimate gift box, Ke Jin was quite curious about it.

Before the upgrade, the ultimate gift box contained the game encyclopedia production scheme, which is the perfect planning book for all of Earth’s games, plus the Perfect Adaptive Modulator.

It was just unknown what it would turn into after the upgrade.

Then there was the production idea for the next game.

After completing this task, the system should smoothly upgrade to level 7.

At that time, the selectable items in the blind box would increase to two, allowing him to lock in a game with about a 70% chance, which was quite good.

But then again, the task issued by the system for the next game would return to normal.

With the massive success of porridge, the number one player now had made quite a name for himself in the card drawing circles.

All things considered, he was starting to make waves in the entire gaming industry.

By then, it would be difficult to maintain the standard approach to keeping players from spending too much in-game currency.

There had to be a way to offer a stronger challenge to those Blue Star players who loved to spend money on games.

"Beep beep!"

Just then, the phone suddenly rang.

As Ke Jin looked at it, his expression immediately turned weird.

[You have a new message: You have officially become the Master of Arknights Jade Foot Bar!]

Ke Jin: "..."

That’s just ridiculous.

How did I even switch planets,

and you jailer fanatics still managed to find an organization?

Wait, why mention finding an organization?

I’m not a foot fetishist, so why round me up too?

With a curious mind, Ke Jin clicked on the bulletin board named [Arknights Jade Foot Bar].

It was only when he logged in that he found out his little account with the chick avatar wearing overalls had been exposed somehow.

As a result, these fellow bulletin board members unanimously elected me, and I became the bulletin board Master of the Jade Foot Bar through a passive vote.

The bulletin board had only been established for a couple of days, but the extent of its outrageousness was already beyond description.

Hot Post: [Just asking, if someone wears size 42 black silk stockings, but also wears airtight studded boots, wouldn’t their feet smell?]

Reply on the 1st floor: If there were no smell, I wouldn’t eat it! Come on, show off in my mouth!

Reply on the 2nd floor: You should be content with what you get to enjoy, it’s already good to have something to eat, let alone be picky!

Reply on the 3rd floor: She has a pair of feet, and I have a mouth just for that, is there anything more coincidental than this? /shy/shy

Hot Post: [How about this smell? /image]

Clicking into it, there’s a fanart of Kal’tsit from Arknights, showing her after a day of battle, coming back to the dorm and taking off her boots, barefoot.

Reply on the 1st floor: No talking, show off!

Reply on the 2nd floor: The hell, can you even show off with this? It’s stinking!

Reply on the 3rd floor: Just asking cause I’m a primary schooler, what does ’stinking’ mean?

Reply on the 4th floor: It’s generally used to describe something very or extremely.

Reply on the 5th floor: Extremely fragrant!

Reply on the 6th floor: ’Extremely’ can’t be used like that okay, just like us northerners, when we pronounce ’色’ (color/sex), we generally say ’shai’, but for ’sexual’, we don’t say ’shai-ual’, we differentiate their usage.

Reply on the 5th floor to the 6th floor: Extremely ’shai-ual’!

Reply on the 2nd floor to the 5th floor: Get discharged from the hospital!

...

After randomly browsing a few hot posts, Ke Jin was rendered speechless.

It’s not like I have a foot fetish.

You guys making me the Master, isn’t this somewhat like bullying an honest person?

Just as Ke Jin was about to click on relinquish the position.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from the living room.

"Brother!!!"

"What is it?"

"Help me wash my feet!" Ke Yu called out unreservedly: "My head is killing me! I want to go to bed and sleep!"

"Don’t you have hands?"

"Hurry up, please! You always helped me before! If you don’t help, I’ll tell Mom and Dad about your booming gaming company!"

"Just wait, you little rascal!" Ke Jin sighed helplessly.

After all, she was his little sister.

He went to the bathroom, grabbed a footbath, filled it with warm water, and carried it over to the couch.

Ke Yu, still dazed, was lying on the couch and kicked off her shoes willingly.

Today, to attend the company’s celebration banquet, she wore petite high-heels to make herself look more formal.

After taking off her shoes, she eagerly dipped them into the basin, gently swaying and splashing little droplets of water.

Ke Jin looked down.

Ke Yu’s feet were fair and delicate, smooth as cream, and shone with a jade-like luster.

Her curved arches formed enchanting lines, like crescent moons reflected in the water.

Her pink toes were lustrous and plump, petite and symmetrical, extraordinarily cute and adorable.

He could barely grasp them fully in his palm, their texture soft and warm.

How had he never noticed before that this little girl’s feet were quite nice-looking? To say they were of food-grade quality would not be an exaggeration.

Unconsciously, Ke Jin was entranced.

But when he snapped back to reality, he thought to himself with a jolt.

Damn it!

I’ve fallen for the twisted ways of the Jade Foot Bar!
