Chapter 162: Chapter 78: Forced to Spend? Avoid Spending! The Outrageous New Game Recharge Plan!_2

"It’s definitely possible for players to be kids who don’t know any better and just recharge for fun."

After much consideration, Ke Jin finally settled on four difficulty levels.

First difficulty level.

Just recharge 20 yuan, and you can enjoy the benefit of ’halving attack damage’!

Second difficulty.

With an additional 50 yuan, the health bar limit is sealed! Players will not be able to increase the maximum health in any way throughout the game.

Third difficulty.

Recharge in the 100 yuan tier, and your Seal Amulet is sealed.

There are a total of 42 amulets scattered across different areas of the map in the game.

Each amulet can provide players with a better gaming experience, like the Compass Amulet, which displays the player’s current location on the map.

Like the Sprint Amulet, it allows players to cancel the backswing faster and perform the next sprint to dodge incoming damage.

By the late game, if you’ve basically filled all the amulet slots, you can wear four amulets at one time.

But if you recharge 100 yuan, I’ll seal them all for you, forbidding you to equip any for the entire game.

That’s a direct mega boost in reverse!

The last difficulty level, which Ke Jin also deemed as the sadistic level.

Recharge 200 yuan, and you immediately receive the ’Player Nirvana Gift Pack’!

The gift pack includes: The initial health bar limit is reduced from 5 cells to only 1, Blue Bar Charging can only discharge skill once, monster health doubled, weapons cannot be upgraded—these four benefits.

And players can only purchase each tier once, with no repeat purchases allowed, to prevent the phenomenon of malicious recharging.

With this step complete, the big task was accomplished!

Adding more difficulties would completely affect the game’s balance.

Intentionally making the game unplayable just to trouble players was not Ke Jin’s original intention; therefore, he still retained a trace of humanity.

After all, in the previous life’s ’Hollow Knight’, there were similar challenges to this pay-to-increase-difficulty mechanism.

It’s just that I advanced them to deter players.

Double-checking everything carefully again.

Looking at the nearly overflowing absurdity in the text, Ke Jin felt like a devilish genius!

Players just need to avoid recharging, and they can enjoy a normal and perfect gaming experience.

Once you get the bad idea to recharge, I, Mr. Ke, will personally help you correct it!

Recharge?

Do you like recharging that much?

I can’t wait to see how you recharge this time!

Just play the game properly; stop thinking about recharging all your damned money every single day.

You get to play the game, and you still want to spend money?

Why should you get all the good things!

After arranging everything, Ke Jin tossed the finished planning proposal to Gou Chehua, putting him in charge of the arrangements.

The company quickly kicked off ’Hollow Knight’ as a new project, moving into a new round of intensive development.

Looking at his busy employees, Ke Jin couldn’t help but silently reflect.

Just one more month, and the good days would truly arrive!

"Damn it! How could you steal your sister’s level-three helmet, give it back to me!"

As the top gamer’s game developments increased, so did Ke Jin’s choices.

On a day off, Ke Jin played ’eat chicken’ with his sister in his room, with nothing better to do.

After landing at the airport, Ke Jin swiftly cleared another team from building C with his skilful play.

Ke Yu also dizzily took down one and saw a dark level-three helmet while looting.

She was euphoric to put it on her head but hadn’t had the chance to celebrate yet.

That’s when she saw a figure flash by her side.

Muttering something like, ’Hand me that level-three helmet, I’ll help you check the quality.’

Unlike Ke Jin, who was an old hand with over 1000 hours, Ke Yu was a beginner noob with less than 50 hours in the game, not fully mastering game mechanics.

Hearing that, Ke Yu obediently took off the level-three helmet.

"Pure level-three helmet upon inspection," said Ke Jin as he took it and put it on, then scampered off.

Ke Yu immediately burst into angry shouts.

A level-three helmet and you have to tell me? Do I not have eyes?

But before she could vent her anger,

suddenly, a frantic sound of footsteps came from behind.

Soon, a spray of bullets shot past her back.

Ke Yu panicked and shouted as she ducked and darted about.

"Baby Yu, tilt your head left a bit," Ke Jin’s calm voice suddenly came through the team voice chat.

"Huh?" Though confused, Ke Yu instinctively pressed the Q key and tilted her head.

The next moment, she heard the crisp and pleasant sound of a sniper rifle through her headset.

"Bang!"

A bullet whizzed by her cheek and, under Ke Yu’s widened eyes, instantly headshot the ambusher behind her!

Instantly, Ke Yu was filled with an intense sense of security.

Hmph, this stinker’s marksmanship is actually quite good, and he looks pretty handsome with that level-three helmet on.

Alright, Ms. Ke Yu won’t hold a grudge against you for the helmet this time.

The very next moment, however, she heard Ke Jin say in the team chat,

"The one I just headshotted has a level-three helmet too, you go loot."

"Really?" Ke Yu’s eyes immediately sparkled.

Even though she wasn’t great at ’eat chicken,’ the feeling of acquiring top-tier equipment in the game was undeniably thrilling.

She rushed toward the dead player’s loot box.

But as she was looting, her face darkened in an instant.

"Son of a gun! His level-three helmet is all blasted because of you, damn swine!"

Annoyed, Ke Yu tore off her headset and escalated the online PK to an offline one as she marched to the next room to strangle the bastard!
