However, Ai Yue's situation is rare after all.

Most people who have never been exposed to this type of horror originally went in with trust and expectations for the two producers, and did not even notice that the game "The Hell Distance" was labeled "Not for minors and the elderly."

...The result was that they were caught off guard and faced all kinds of horrors.

Especially in the human-computer copy during the novice guidance process, you cannot exit directly. Either you pass the level or the whole team is wiped out.

Many people feel terrible after playing this game. They feel like there are invisible things hidden everywhere in their homes, or there is something stuck behind them, and they dare not turn their heads even with their eyes open.

Lake had never played this kind of game before, and his fans condemned him bitterly for following CH's bad habits.

And what about ch's homepage? It's filled with condemnations like 'ch, can you sleep? I'm too scared to sleep.'

Of course, Lao Lezirench was not asleep. She was happily watching the players being chased by ghosts, trying to escape from the ghosts while being scared, and she was so happy that she scooped a big spoonful of iced watermelon into her mouth.

Occasionally, when she sees someone has doubts about something, she will post a popular science article in real time, and sometimes she will also include a small plot to explain the popular science, such as paper people, embroidered shoes, puppets, wedding dresses, zombies, mirrors, opera, etc., so that everyone can fully understand the wonders of these elements... and the horror.

Player: ...Thank you!

Among these players, Ai Yue's presence became particularly eye-catching.

Amidst the chorus of accusations, she was the only one who earnestly asked, "Can there be a romance mode in Hell's Distance? If not, can we connect the characters to Peach Blossom Spring?"

Other players who had never seen Ai Yue play games were amazed.

[Although people's XP is free, I still suggest...]

【This one is even more of a heavyweight】

[Can I ask which ghost gave this player this idea? Curious.]

[Actually, Xu Wanjun from Xujia Town, Jiang Zhirong from Ghost Story School, and Fang Shishui from Xingfuli Community... if you remove the horror factor, they're all pretty good.]

Being able to look good and be scary at the same time is a skill.

Ai Yue doesn't care what other people say, she only cares about whether she can fall in love with Xie Qingyu.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention that.

After coming out of the Huaishu Village copy, Ai Yue changed her online name from [Meimei's undisclosed girlfriend] to [Xie Qingyu's only sweetheart]. The sisters all said that this was not unexpected... ahem.

Ai Yue originally didn't have much hope that CH would reply to her message. She was already calculating how much money she would have to spend to convince CH to let her date Xie Qingyu.

However, CH unexpectedly replied to her message.

[CH: It’s not impossible, but if you take that character out of that environment and background, will you still like them so much?]

...The most important reason why beautiful, strong and miserable characters are so popular is that they are miserable.

Without a haunting backstory, honestly, he'd be just an average pretty character, stunning for a moment at best, but quickly forgotten amidst the throng of other equally beautiful characters. Just like Xie Qingyu, the contrast between the before and after makes him haunting, so much so that after learning his story, players will have a certain filter when they look at the now-destroyed, ghost-like Xie Qingyu.

Ai Yue fell into deep thought.

However, the occurrence of this situation among players did not surprise Xu Piao. After all, Ghost and Human Love has always been a very classic theme, not to mention the blessing of beauty, strength and tragedy.

However, Xu Piao himself did not expect that an ID like [Xie Qingyu's Only Sweetheart] had already appeared in such a short period of time after "The Distance Between Hell" was released.

She thought about it, discussed it with Lake, and finally the two of them posted an announcement on the homepage together.

The gist is that they'll be adding a free creation module to The Hell Distance soon, similar to a story editor in regular games. Within the module, players can import all of The Hell Distance's maps, elements, characters, and plots, then edit the plot themselves or choose to intervene in the plot, changing the storyline as if traveling through time.

——That is, built-in fan creation.

This way, whether players want to date the beautiful, strong, and miserable ghosts of the Xu Piao clan or the tentacle monsters of the Lake clan, they can do so. For those who like excitement, they can even combine ghosts from many dungeons and create a battle royale. There are many ways to play.

We can arrange some prizes later and organize a secondary creation competition, which might be quite lively.

Ai Yue's eyes lit up.

At this moment, she and other players had forgotten how CH had attacked them during the Peach Blossom Spring Traveler storyline, and only felt that he was the most conscientious and player-loving producer in the world.

Even some players who were afraid to play the game "The Hell Distance" because it was too scary couldn't help but feel tempted.

【Love in a Second】

Can we also do this with Peach Blossom Spring and Record of Mountains and Seas? I have a lot of ideas for these two games!

[When this function is opened, I dare not enter the dungeon and I dare not write it myself hahaha]

[Wow, I can’t do it, but I don’t know why I really want to watch others play while I’m scared.]

…

At this time, Mei He, who had heard of the name but never met the person, was also paying attention to the information related to "The Distance Between the Netherworld".

He looked at it for a long time, deduced it many times, and finally couldn't help but find Lake, who he always had a bad relationship with, and got straight to the point, "Did you really do this with CH?"

Lake felt puzzled and replied to Mei He with a question mark.

"I don't see much of your old style in this game." Mei He said, "It seems you've broken through your previous limitations."

Lake was impatient to chat with him and asked directly in a bad mood, "What do you want to say?"

"You definitely can't find the right direction so quickly on your own, so the problem lies with the producer you're working with this time." Lakeguang could tell from Mei He's playful and shameless voice, "Please introduce me to that producer named ch. I helped him out before, and he didn't even thank me~"

Lake retorted, "I don't think CH needs to thank you for that. It was something your fans were instigating to do."

[That’s what I said…but now many of my fans are fans of CH.]

【……】

Lake said nothing, clicked Mei He's message bar and ignored it.

…

As to why two geniuses of the same generation and similar age don't get along so well, it all started with Mei He's grandfather.

Mei He's grandfather is the president of the Game Production Association - Mei Jiangqiu.

Mei He, due to his abundant mental strength, had high hopes for him since childhood, and Mei Jiangqiu wanted him to attend a specialized producer school. However, Mei He disliked the teachings there, believing them to be rubbish that confined all imagination to a certain framework. After being admitted and attending classes for a few days, he decided to drop out and pursue his own school of production.

At the time, the mainstream gameplay was also competitive, including Mei He's grandfather, Mei Jiangqiu. But Mei He himself liked to add romance elements to the game. It didn't matter whether there was combat or not, as long as the romance part was done well.

——To put it simply, everyone's style is like "If you are a brother, come and chop me, 9999 with one blow", but Mei He is the only one who is "lovelove".

Mei He's decision to drop out of school made his grandfather very angry. It just so happened that Lake was the top student in the Producer School at that time, so his grandfather always compared Lake with Mei He.

Even though Mei He later ran away from home and achieved success, his grandfather still felt that his games, which could only please a specific group of people, were a failure and not presentable.

Mei He became rebellious and often publicly mocked and criticized the games made by Lake... In fact, it was not just Lake, Mei He offended almost everyone with his mouth.

As a result, even Lake, who didn't pay much attention to outside comments, was put in a bad mood by Mei He's remarks, and he also became unhappy with Mei He.

We are almost all producers of the same generation and age. How dare you criticize my ideas?

Then it gradually became a tit-for-tat situation.

As the two were later hailed as the most outstanding game producers of the younger generation, their tit-for-tat relationship became widely known.

But in fact, in recent years, Mei He has become much more mature and has not said anything publicly about others for a long time.

"Stingy!" He looked at the message column that had not been replied for a long time and complained. He opened his contact page, hoping to find someone else who knew ch to establish a connection with. However, after searching for a long time, he found that perhaps only his grandfather Mei Jiangqiu could communicate with him.

Producers like CH, although they don’t make mainstream game types, should be the type that the old man appreciates.

Mei He didn't want to embarrass himself by asking the old man to set him up, so after searching through the contacts for a long time, he finally went to chat with ch privately, explained his purpose, and waited confidently for ch's reply.

result……

A day passed...

Two days passed...

Three days passed...

Still no reply.

In fact, the news about Meihe had long been categorized as "unnecessary advertising news" along with invitations and solicitations from various companies. Xu Piao had never clicked on it to read it.

Meihe: ...

Mei He resisted the urge to use a second account to leave a message on ch's homepage, asking whether he had seen his message.

Ask yourself in your heart——

Am I not standing high enough?

The author has something to say:

B-game is not that fast, and it is not a form of cooperation.

I saw an idea in the comments section about letting producers play the horror games they made themselves. I think it’s a good idea, so I’ve arranged it!

Player: We can’t be the only ones being persecuted, we should also persecute the producer!

But in this case it is not a single copy, but a mixed battle royale type.
