Chapter 400: Chapter 142: New Strategies to Avoid Spending! This time, I will be the enemy of mankind!_3

"Fine then," Mrs. Ke thought her husband was just that stubborn in his life, too unyielding.

If persuasion didn’t work, she couldn’t be bothered to continue talking.

Previously, when she asked him to quit smoking and drinking, he had never listened either.

But as they say, the speaker means nothing but the listener reads into it.

Ke Jin, who regularly listened to his parents bickering, suddenly had an epiphany while overhearing them!

Was fishing a hobby, and if it was made a prerequisite for something else that needed to be done, did it become oppression?

His dad was addicted to fishing, even saying, ’If I have to run, I’d rather not fish.’

Could other hobbies be manipulated in the same way?

For instance, if players wanted to spend money in a game, set a task they detested, make them complete the task before they could spend money.

Eventually, players would no longer want to spend money!

So, what do players detest?

There are too many possibilities for disgust, hard to standardize.

But the news had actually just given Ke Jin the answer.

Weight loss!

The increasing obesity rates among the young indicated that people’s material lives had improved, that was one aspect.

The dislike of exercise was another.

He definitely couldn’t make everyone lower their living standards.

Players were just trying to enjoy a game, they hadn’t committed grievous offences, such a move would surely get him obliterated.

Then.

If he combined spending money with exercise...

Hiss!

Eureka!

I’ve got it!

Players had to exercise a certain amount before they could spend money.

This way, surely no one would spend any money, right?

As for what kind of exercise, Ke Jin felt there needed to be a standard.

After all, there were too many kinds of exercises, it was difficult for him to monitor and set restrictions.

If he didn’t, players who already enjoyed exploiting bugs in games might start exploiting bugs in real life too, and that would be problematic.

Therefore, the exercise had to be standardized!

The most logical choice would be running.

No additional equipment required, no special skills like swimming, ping pong, badminton, foot...ow, football has nothing to do with this, just no proficiency needed.

Just by moving your legs, you could run anywhere: beneath your apartment, on the school track, even in any easily found park!

And tracking it was manageable with today’s developing technology; it was not hard to create an app that counted running steps within a time limit.

But to spend money, they had to unlock it by running first!

The more money they wanted to spend, the further they had to run!

Ke Jin’s idea became increasingly clear, joy almost impossible to hide from his face!

He was even close to snickering!

Then he looked towards his father, the unwitting guide who had ’awakened the dreamer with a word.’

It was like gazing upon a deity.

Dad, why not come and work for our top notch players? You’ve got the mindset for a game planner!

Of course, it was just a thought.

"I’m full." After quickly gobbling down a few bites of rice, Ke Jin wiped his mouth and dived into his bedroom.

Without a word, he pulled out a series of blind boxes from Assassin’s Creed.

Although the strategy was set, he needed to give players a convincing reason to accept it.

Change the game to a card game, then make players run before they can spend money? That would be absurd.

Of the five games he had, only Assassin’s Creed was the most suitable for exercise.

Because it already had a rich movement element—parkour!

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

He had the idea, now he had an excuse.

Who could say it wasn’t foolproof this time?

Hm?

This damn thing, this time it wasn’t me, Mr. Ke, wanting champagne at halftime!

The news had reported it! People don’t like to exercise, it’s an undisputable fact!

It was as if fate itself popped the champagne and put it in my hand!

This isn’t even a question of the heavens helping me or not.

This is battling against human nature!

Keep in mind, laziness is human nature!

Looking back on the many years of technological development, one consistent theme runs through its core concept: liberation of the hands.

More advanced technology is all about providing more convenience to humankind!

And this move of mine, it’s practically anti-human!

This time.

This time I’m the enemy of humanity!
