Chapter 377 - There Doesn’t seem Much for Him to ‘Direct’ (1/2)

January 6th, Thursday… Pei Qian couldn’t help but sigh when he looked at Ma Yang studying seriously in the study room. Why was it that even Ma Yang—this slacker —could study without being distracted, but I couldn’t…?

They were about to enter the exam week. This semester was about to end again.

Pei Qian set a target to pass on his own merits, but he found it difficult to do so.

He originally wanted to absorb some learning momentum when he got Ma Yang to come to the study room together with him.

However, while Ma Yang managed to find his momentum, Pei Qian remained totally uninterested.

Sitting in the study room was simply torturous. Pei Qian’s cell phone vibrated suddenly upon receiving a message: “Boss Pei, we have a preliminary proposal for the haunted house. I would like to make a report to you at your convenience.”

Pei Qian looked at this message from Chen Kangtuo and sighed.

Sigh, it’s not that I don’t want to study. I’m busy at work.

What should this be called? A situation that took its own course regardless of my wishes.

No choice, I have no choice.

He checked his watch. It was 10:30 in the morning so he replied. “Come to my office at

11.”

Chen Kangtuo reached Shenhua View. He had gone to the 16th floor and did not find Boss Pei. That was why he sent this message.

Since there was nothing to do between now and his appointment at 11 o’clock with Boss Pei, Chen Kangtuo planned to drop by on the 17th floor to see how Li Yada and Bao Xu were doing

Chen Kangtuo found the enthusiasm for work to be rather high on the 17th floor. Everyone was busy. Many greeted Chen Kangtuo upon seeing him. Chen Kangtuo asked about the development of GOG after exchanging pleasantries with Li Yada.

Chen Kangtuo was part of the team responsible for the game previously after all.

Li Yada said, “It’s coming along rather smoothly.

“Dream Realization Ventures put forward a lot of suggestions for modification previously. We only changed a small part, but the effect was unexpectedly good.

“Most players welcome this kind of ‘easy’ game mode that is easier to learn from the feedback of players in Fish-Catching Internet Cafe.

“Therefore, we have been busy modifying all the remaining content recently.

“A pity that Dream Realization Ventures would be busy with new missions soon. They would not be able to test out the game and provide us with more suggestions for modification.

“However, He Desheng said he had written out almost all the recommendations he could think of.

“In the following period, our main task would be to continue to modify the basic gameplay, create more characters, and adjust the balance of the game according to these suggestions.”

“The newly recruited group of people has good talents. They are quick in picking up game making so the efficiency of the entire project has obviously improved a lot.”

Chen Kangtuo chatted with everyone in the gaming department for a while, checked the time, and walked downstairs to report to Boss Pei.

Pei Qian looked at the preliminary plan for the haunted house that Chen Kangtuo had just handed to him in the office.

The name of the haunted house was Thriller Hostel’.

The name was mainly based on three considerations according to Chen Kangtuo.

First, there would be no ghost or superstitions in the haunted house so no words such as ‘ghost’ would appear.

Second, they hoped that tourists could come here often so the ‘hostel’ here held the meaning of a ‘hotel’.

Finally, the basic theme in the haunted house would be a hotel. There would be more scary scenes added later, but they would all be derived from hotels.

Pei Qian did not have any special thought merely looking at the name.

Hotels were common themes, but it was relatively less common than cemeteries, mental hospitals, and netherworlds.

The subject could be regarded as relatively now, or it could be said that the degree of shock may not be enough. In short, it depended on how it was done.

He continued reading.

The Thriller Hostel would have three major projects. The first would be a multi-person interactive project. The third project is a very scary traditional horror house. These two projects had a general framework with no specific plans.

The second project was like a transitional project. Some specifics had been penned down.

At present, they had six sub-projects planned; all of which were very simple. They could be completed with sites of a maximum of dozens of square meters each. Only one person was allowed at any one time.

These smaller venues would be in shipping containers. There would be wheels in under the containers, making them mobile where the order would be regularly disrupted. In that way, the player would be entering into a random room every time.

Pei Qian looked at these smaller projects in turn.

The first small project: Bathroom. The scenery was a very narrow bathroom with a mirror, washbasin, toilet, bathtub, etc. The layout was similar to a regular bathroom.

The setting would be worn out. The dim lights, washbasin, mirror, and bathtub were all dirty, probably not scrubbed for a long time. The shadows in the corner of the bathroom seemed to be coagulated blood.

Guests had to enter the bathroom alone and must complete a series of steps given. Once all the steps were completed, the challenge would be deemed successful. Failing any of the steps would fail the challenge.
