To ascend, I had no choice but to create games

Chapter 579: Chapter 335: Development Direction (Second Update)_1 Chapter 579: Chapter 335: Development Direction (Second Update)_1 Although the rules of the livestreaming room prohibit promoting other UP hosts, Black Tech was clearly an exception.

First, he wasn’t a UP host, and the occasional livestreams were just to share some little tricks he’d recently discovered. People were free to watch if they liked, and it was no big deal if they didn’t.

Plus, he didn’t livestream regularly, but only from time to time.

Second, there were times when he was quite aggressive.

Wang’s gaming pod had been a gift from him, and after giving it, he asked for nothing more, treating it as if he’d given a trifling, insignificant trinket.

Other hosts had also received gifts from him to a greater or lesser extent, making him very popular in the host community.

Who wouldn’t like someone rich who didn’t ask for anything extra?

In “My Amusement Park,” players could visit other players’ parks, check out their amusements, and even play themselves.

Of course, playing in another player’s park also required Happiness Coins, which gave the currency an additional use.

But when Wang saw Black Tech’s amusement park, he was astounded.

It had to be said, some people just had a knack for gaming, able to create unique experiences even out of the most mundane games.

And Black Tech’s amusement park lived up to his name, filled with all sorts of outlandish, techy vibes.

There was no car park outside the amusement park but instead time-space teleportation devices; visitors appeared and disappeared out of thin air, leaving Wang gaping in amazement.

The park itself was a venue brimming with a futuristic aura, equipped with all kinds of devices Wang had never seen before, making him feel as if he’d been transported into the future.

How did these facilities come about?

Does the game even have such things?

Looking at the equipment here, Wang felt as if everyone was struggling to build houses with stones while Black Tech swung by with a 3D printer, pointing at the house behind him and saying, “There are a few hundred more printers back there.”

How could this even be fair?

There were NPC visitors here, but most were actually players, lingered at various attractions, happily transferring their hard-earned Happiness Coins from their own pockets into Black Tech’s.

The most eye-catching were the robot maids transformed from visitors, a combination of machinery and human body, exceptionally immersive.

Wang also tried the “Zombie Crisis” here, though it was just a shoot-and-aim game at zombies, Black Tech had managed to create a scoring system, growth features, data ranking, and more. Compared to other game attractions, it was a world apart.

After a round, Wang was shocked.

He’d been smug with just a haunted house while someone else had created such a fascinating park and still remained low-profile. How could the gap between people be this wide?

Only at this moment did Wang realize that everything in the game could actually be customized.

Players could modify most functionalities of the attractions in their parks, meaning the same blueprint could bring forth a multitude of differing outcomes.

The items left by other visitors weren’t so simple, either. Skillfully using these items could make one’s amusement park even more engaging.

The game also had a rich ranking system, with various leaderboards enabling every player’s park to shine, each category offering a chance to compete.

Furthermore, visitor reviews in the game were crucial. Players could use these NPC reviews to judge the quality of other games, gaining more meaningful guidance.

After touring around, Wang found that every corner of the place was impeccably done, with visitors arriving in high spirits and leaving satisfied, some even ecstatically “ascending to heaven” on the spot and leaving behind a load of items for Black Tech.

With these items, Black Tech could continue to optimize his amusement park, perfecting his domain even further.

“Impressive,” Wang couldn’t help but exclaim, “no wonder he’s making a fortune.”

After trying out a few more attractions, he reluctantly returned to his own park and stared blankly at his own pathetic setup.

Having just witnessed someone else’s extravagantly luxurious park, his own place now seemed rather embarrassing to look at.

Grinding his teeth, he declared firmly, “No, I must have my own massive amusement park. Everyone, please lend me your strength.”

[Please, I beg you~]

“I’m begging you!”

[Hiss~]

This time, Wang was very straightforward; when he asked for help, there was no pretense.

That was also what made Wang endearing. Even though he was now among the top hundred UP hosts, he never put on airs, never hesitating to ask for help when needed.

And considering how quickly he started shaking people down for support, it seemed he’d been deeply motivated this time, utterly eager to improve.

[Sigh, there’s just no way to refuse you; count me in.]

[Me too, let’s brainstorm together. But seriously, Black Tech’s park is something else, won’t be easy to top that with the usual stuff.

[It’s mainly a matter of funding and blueprints; without Black Tech’s means, we can’t get off the ground.]

[Black Tech has his ways, Wang has his; what if we follow this train of thought?]

[You mean… letting Wang be played?]

[You could say so. After all, some of the customers here seem to quite fancy Wang’s style, so let’s just go down that path.]

[Sounds logical. Wang, sacrifice yourself a bit, will you?]

Reading the comments in his livestream, Wang felt a tingling at the back of his head.

“`

Every time he thought about having to offer up his own body, he was a hundred percent unwilling.

But then, thinking of the magnificently beautiful amusement parks created by Black Tech, and looking back at his own little place that had nothing, Wang finally made up his mind:

“Alright, what should I do?”

“First, let’s see how much money you have now. Hmm, 30,000 Happiness Coins, that seems like a lot, but it’ll all be gone once you get some equipment. And the blueprints you currently have won’t allow you to utilize your full charm—it doesn’t look good.”

“I do have an idea though, how about a battle royale?”

“How should I understand that?”

“Make Wang the only prey on the field, with other visitors having to kill each other off until only ten remain, then release Wang. If someone can keep Wang by their side for a minute, that’s considered a win. Meanwhile, that visitor’s movement speed will be reduced, and their coordinates will be made public.”

“Sounds somewhat interesting, though it seems a bit tough on Wang.”

“What’s there to be afraid of? Wang is a renewable resource; if one dies, just bring in another.”

The audience chatted and laughed as they decided on Wang’s fate, making him feel like his life was as cheap as weeds.

But upon further thought, he realized that this might be the best method available to him for now.

After all, he was quite popular among those visitors who liked to be frightened, so using this feature, it’d be best to squeeze as many Happiness Coins out of them as possible.

After coming to this realization, Wang decisively said, “Ok, let’s do it, I’ll set up the field right now!”

The current mini-game was a memory test. Different numbers would appear on the screen in succession and disappear after a very short period of time.

Players needed to quickly tap the different numbers and getting a certain quantity would mean success.

After Wang played this mini-game, he saw the area he had planned automatically transform. The ideal terrain emerged right there, filling the spacious field with various terrains.

There were various vehicles and a myriad of weapons. The visitors could use the weapons to attack each other, then fight over the ownership of Wang.

Even though it seemed alright during setup, when everything was done, Wang realized this was basically a large-scale survival game, wasn’t it?

Even with a heartthrob like himself present, there wouldn’t be too many visitors showing up, right?

The audience in the live stream calmed down and commented on the new installation: “It looks alright, but it’s still a bit off from what we imagined.”

“Yeah, the key is Wang, you’re out of cash. If you had money, we could turn this place into Starry Battlefield.”

“The weapons don’t look authentic enough either. I want a thermite gun!”

“I want a JT-MK4!”

“Make sure to give me Magnetic Field Power!”

Seeing the audience going crazy again, Wang knew they had returned.

But he was also uncertain, not knowing whether the plan they had come up with would be successful or if the visitors would like it here.

However, after the new facility opened, Wang still underestimated his standing in the hearts of these kinds of visitors.

When they learned that they could legally keep Wang for a whole minute throughout the activity, they came here nearly insane, each showing off their strengths.

The sky of the arena was shrouded in black fog, as visitors transformed into terrifying shadows hovering in the air, listening to Wang’s miserable screams while fiercely fighting each other, with the vehicles and weapons on the ground serving merely as decoration.

Being held in the arms of a terrifying eight-foot-tall brute, Wang watched as his captor wielded a chainsaw, fighting other visitors in a bloodbath, with copious amounts of tomato juice flying freely, leading Wang to lament that this game was truly bizarre.

And this masked strongman, after winning the match, didn’t leave but rather held Wang aloft, roaring excitedly to the sky. After finishing his cries, he transformed right there and then knelt before Wang, looking up at him expectantly.

“What’s this about?” Wang asked, puzzled.

“The other party is eying you hungrily, probably wanting to become your slave!”

“Don’t put it so bluntly, it sounds quite alarming.”

“But that’s the fact. According to the game’s setting, this person is satisfied but not completely content. You can open his panel to see his condition.”

Curiously opening the panel of the Masked Muscleman, Wang gasped in astonishment.

Golden Legend, oh!

“This strongman is a well-known psychopath impersonator. Overindulging in playing these roles has altered his psychology, making him crave blood and slaughter. Thus, he longs for a hearty battle, dead or alive.

Today, his desire was fulfilled. He intended to leave this place but then discovered that there was a charismatic leader here. He was so entranced by the leader’s brilliance that he’s willing to dedicate his strength to the leader.

Attribute features: Strength type, immortal body, limitless stamina, and possess extreme combat power.

Expertise: Dark Cuisine S, which makes unattractive food that tastes delicious. He can procure his ingredients on his own, but don’t delve too deeply into the origins of these items.

Horror S: Just standing still emits a strong aura of horror that would push your amusement park a big step toward the horror genre.

Loyalty A: He will absolutely not betray you, but it also means you can’t shake him off.”

After reviewing the stats of the muscled chef before him, Wang was conflicted.

The guy’s attributes were indeed great, and he could also make a lot of good food, so he wouldn’t have to worry about ingredients or a chef for his restaurant.

However, once he employed him, Wang’s amusement park would necessarily have to develop in the direction of a horror theme park.

What to choose?
