Chapter 90

As for how the game would develop in the future, the first step was to launch the English version of "Endless Stars," ideally successfully listed on the Apple Store, allowing both Android and Apple phones to play the game simultaneously.

Moreover, after sales in the United States and Europe, Chen Yang did not plan to have foreigners also be born on Blue Star, but rather to allocate them to another star system. Without a wormhole, the fastest spacecraft would need to travel for fifteen days in the real world. This way, foreign and domestic players could develop independently in the early stages, and later...

He only hoped that the terrifying number of Chinese players would not completely overwhelm the foreign regions.

Chen Yang was very clear about this point: as long as the number of players increased, the game would inevitably have vitality. With the number of players increasing, artificial conflicts would be created, which would certainly lead to interests and trade.

Trade would inevitably generate a large amount of wealth.

Therefore, under Chen Yang's suggestion, all resources in the game were limited and non-renewable. The player-controlled spaceships would be damaged, fuel would be consumed, ammunition would have limits and costs, and even characters would need to eat and sleep.

Such intricate and detailed settings did not dampen the players' interest but rather sparked their appreciation and desire for resources. Conflicts and battles over resources occurred constantly, and large-scale resource transactions were frequent.

Thus, in a short period, the regions and forces developed in "Endless Stars" vaguely resembled real-world countries, forming alliances and mutual suspicions, and not daring to easily initiate wars like in other games.

Because, just like in the real world, when the cannons roar, gold flows. In "Endless Stars," to start a war, a large amount of military resources and RMB would inevitably be consumed, along with significant subsequent impacts. Therefore, the game's early stages were peaceful, forming a pseudo-peace similar to the Cold War era!

This war would not have been so easily triggered if it weren't for the growing appetite of the Supreme Honor guild and its wealthy leader, who didn't care about money and offended other forces everywhere.

In the future, Chen Yang wouldn't even need to guide foreign players to engage in national wars with domestic or other countries. Under the nature of the game, everyone would naturally fall into the struggle for resource interests, and war would be inevitable.

While analyzing posts on the forum and solving some game issues, Chen Yang, who had personally developed the game with his right hand, frankly admitted that there were virtually no bugs. Subsequent updates mainly added new content rather than fixing bugs.

Although Chen Yang had some ideas, adding new game content would inevitably require discussion with his right hand, so he could only write down these inspirations one by one.

After working until seven in the evening, he went out for a meal and returned. His right hand suddenly awakened from its silence.

"Commander Screw, can we start?"

Sitting in the chair, Chen Yang asked.

"…The Foundation Core is currently without issues… We can proceed with the link."

The scene around the basement gradually faded, and Chen Yang reappeared in the deepest core area of the Foundation Core.

"Part of the control of the Foundation Core has been handed over to you…"

"How do I do it?"

"Imagine…"

His right hand said, "After obtaining partial control, you just need to imagine, and any scene can be realized."

"Is that so."

Chen Yang pondered for a moment, then closed his eyes.

The next moment, when Chen Yang opened his eyes again, he was standing on the Huangpu River in East China.

At this moment, Chen Yang was truly a bit surprised. Looking around, the colorful night view of the skyscrapers and the boats on the Huangpu River were almost indistinguishable from the real Huangpu River.

"The scenes imagined by humans inevitably have omissions, but the Foundation Core can tap into the subconscious and reconstruct your memories based on your imagination."

"Even in places where you have no memory, the Foundation Core can fill in the gaps based on your subconscious. So even if the imagined scene differs from the original, you won't notice it."

"Amazing."

Chen Yang couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of the Foundation Core. He had already discovered that the virtual consciousness constructed within the Foundation Core possessed the emotions of intelligent beings, almost indistinguishable from humans. From this, it was clear that the Foundation Core was beyond human technology.

"So…"

Chen Yang closed his eyes and began to imagine a scene.

The night view of the Huangpu River gradually disappeared, replaced by a forest path. Layer upon layer of branches, endless dense forests, a quiet sky, and a pale moon in the sky gave a strange feeling.

On the simple road made of gravel and soil, an old bus suddenly appeared, "bang," falling from a height of several dozen centimeters and landing with a thud, raising a cloud of dust.

Chen Yang squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil, and squeezed it, nodding in satisfaction. He then scattered the soil and patted his hands to shake off the dust.

"One kilometer? Or two kilometers?"

Chen Yang touched his chin, and his whole body floated in the air, about three to four meters off the ground, and he flew horizontally toward the distance.

As he passed, the dirt road rapidly extended, a truly astonishing sight.

After flying about three kilometers, Chen Yang deliberately made the dirt road winding and uneven, then descended from the air.

"This distance is about right."

As soon as he said this, the dirt road abruptly stopped, accompanied by a rumbling sound. Tall iron gates slowly emerged from the ground, and a guardhouse was gradually built.

These structures were completed in less than ten seconds, standing firmly on the previously barren land.

Chen Yang opened the iron gate and entered the guardhouse. As expected, two computer screens were lit up.

Of course, this was not the end. Outside the guardhouse, a Western-style courtyard was emerging from the ground. When Chen Yang stepped out of the guardhouse, he saw a desolate and dilapidated Western-style building and courtyard.

The appearance of this building, as far as he could see, was almost identical to what Chen Yang had imagined.

Indeed, to instill fear in the people brought in, it was not about simply killing them to create fear. Such fear would cause a large release of adrenaline and intense emotional fluctuations, but it would only last for a short time and was rather low-level.

What is the greatest fear of humans?

Death?

No, it's the unknown!

The unknown is the greatest source of human fear.

If, out of a sense of the unknown, hope was given to the selected individuals, followed by despair, what would happen?

Chen Yang was very curious about this.

To make the selected individuals produce continuous and intense emotional fluctuations, emitting super-high-level brain waves, Chen Yang decided to personally create a storyline for them to experience.

No, it should be called a trial mission.

By successfully completing this trial, people would be well-trained in courage and boldness, no longer fearing darkness and the unknown.

For the first trial, Chen Yang planned to use a horror game as a blueprint, supplemented by a few other horror games, to create an original storyline.

Using this horror game as a blueprint, some people would recognize it. When they were overjoyed, thinking they understood the plot, they would realize that the plot was not as they had imagined. What kind of fascinating expressions would appear on their faces?
