"Attractive to the opposite sex if slightly powerful, but draw in the same sex if too mighty, huh..."

He then glanced at Baby Yu who looked love-struck all day long.

Hey?

Where’s Baby Yu?

I was right by my side just now. Where could such a big Baby Yu be?

As Ke Jin’s gaze searched the room, he saw Ke Yu had somehow slipped back into the bedroom without him noticing.

At this moment, she emerged shivering, wrapped in a small blanket, her little face pale as a ghost.

"Is it really that exaggerated..." Ke Jin couldn’t help but say speechlessly.

"Of course, it is. I’m naturally scared of these things, okay?" Ke Yu’s lips quivered, "I’m so foolish, really. I know I can’t handle scary stories, yet I still listened out of curiosity... What if my child gets scared and can’t sleep at night..."

Even though she had thought of an answer just a moment ago, after hearing Luo Xinlin reveal the whole solution, she couldn’t help but shudder, hugging her arms.

It felt like a chill was constantly emanating from behind her back.

Scared, she quickly grabbed a blanket to cover herself and plopped down on a sofa facing the sunlight coming through the window.

Only when she felt the slight warmth did she start to feel a bit better.

Ke Jin, on the other hand, found such exaggerated behavior somewhat incomprehensible.

"You’re spoiled, that’s why."

"Brother!! Your colleague is a cannibal, aren’t you scared?" Ke Yu pouted, dissatisfied.

"Who am I? Even if my colleague chomps me down to just a mouth, I’d still shout that I’m not afraid." Ke Jin wouldn’t be swayed, "Anyway, I’m locking the door tonight, so don’t even think about sneaking in again and then kicking me out to sleep on the floor."

Wen Zhiyin, who was chatting with Luo Xinlin, interrupted the siblings’ conversation.

"Don’t be too hard on Yu. It’s perfectly normal for her to have such an extreme reaction."

"Because Sea Turtle Soup inherently contains a deeply unsettling element, and stories that provoke such meticulous fear tend to be the scariest."

"It uses a technique called ’delayed fear,’ which is the opposite of a psychological concept known as ’delayed gratification.’"

"Exactly, exactly! Wen knows so much." Seeing she had found a supporter, Ke Yu nodded vigorously and rolled her eyes at Ke Jin, "Unlike some people who only know how to be mean to me. You’ve almost scared the wits out of the child."

Ke Jin didn’t pay much attention to Baby Yu’s typical chatter. Instead, he focused on the concept Wen Zhiyin had just mentioned.

It was as if a flash of inspiration for a new game type had crossed his mind.

Lately, Ke Jin had been pondering about what type of new game to develop.

The game quality of Blue Star’s number one player had gradually been recognized by everyone.

To produce shoddy games was almost a dead-end road.

Unless he was willing to watch the hard-earned reputation he had built from scratch get destroyed overnight.

He had already tried traditional gaming genres several times before, and they had all ended in failure.

This was why Ke Jin had been stalling.

He was considering if there was a kind of game...

Irrelevant to the game’s quality itself, if it was of that type, players would be reluctant to spend money, right?

It was already proven that the story-driven approach didn’t work.

Other genres such as FPS, Action, adventure, gacha, and management had also failed after numerous attempts.

Ke Jin had even considered incorporating horror elements.

In his previous life, horror-themed games were not niche on Earth; on the contrary, they were quite popular.

Many widely acclaimed masterpieces fell within the horror category.

Earlier titles from the Resident Evil series.

The Silent Hill series.

And the never-born but much-hyped P.T.

As well as the immersive terror—throughout the entire Escape series, you’re devoid of any ability to fight back.

In the realm of 2D Japanese horror puzzle games, there are also many outstanding classic works.

"The Witch’s House," "Mr. Mad," "IB," and so on.

As well as a series of impressive Chinese horror games such as "Paper Dolls," "Fireworks," "Paper Bride," etc.

All of which have achieved not insignificant success within the horror community.

But on the highly stressed planet of Blue Star.

Players seek more emotional catharsis, hence the gaming system where paying leads to power has grown so massive. It has even continuously morphed over 20 years of development to what it has become today.

Today’s players can no longer accept horror games.

These are factors Ke Jin was well aware of.

They are also the reasons he previously dared not touch the genre.

Setting aside whether the ultimate mission could be accomplished, failing even the regular tasks would be a joke, with the blind box rewards being cut off directly.

Yet now, looking at Baby Yu, who could be scared stiff by a mere sea turtle soup and who declared never to be curious again,

Ke Jin suddenly felt that horror games... might not be such a dead end after all!

First, the top player’s influence was growing considerably, with fans following the official website already surpassing one million.

Although this still fell far short of the tens of millions of player followers amassed by the big three through years of accumulation.

But the advantage lies in the high quality of his own games!

Of the several tens of millions of players from the big factories, the number that actually play a new game is probably only 1/10, or even less than that.

Yet for his own million fans, at least 1/5 would try out each new release, and another twenty to thirty percent might hop onto the bandwagon after finding some free time.

Added to that are the many players who haven’t followed the official website, but are aware of the company, also potential customers.

Coming and going like this, even if horror games do turn away players.

The regular tasks can basically be satisfied.

In light of this, all one needs to do is put in some effort in choosing the types of horror games to develop.

The concept of "delayed fear" proposed by Wen Zhiyin just now instantly enlightened Ke Jin.

More sophisticated than pure jump scares is delayed fear, or what’s referred to as thinking deeper and feeling extreme horror.

Then, what could be more advanced than delayed fear?

Continuous fear!

Filling the player with a constant sense of dread!

As long as you play the game, you will be dominated by fear!

Frightening players to the point they might even let a few drops of urine escape!

Scaring them into a frantic scramble!

Best of all, scaring them enough to fling the smartphones they were about to recharge with!

In short, just one statement.

Scare them into not daring to recharge!

"Sss..."

Musing over this, Ke Jin, who had been stuck for ages, took a sharp intake of breath, his eyes shining brightly.

After today’s small episode at home, his thoughts were suddenly crystal clear!

I’ve got it! I’ve got it!!

Who would have thought that Mr. Ke, who had suffered frustration for so long, would finally see the light of day!

I, the designer, am about to strike the players with full force!

With a punch filled with the power of continuous fear, how will you players from Blue Star take it?
