Horror Game Developer: My games aren't that scary! novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39 - Live Stream [1]

[Yes, we can do that. How about we meet at the location at around 10 PM? How does that sound?]

"That sounds pretty good."

I sent a straightforward 'ok!' and put my phone away. At the same time, I nodded in satisfaction.

"What a nice guy."

For him to agree to my absurd demands, he really was quite nice. I was prepared to be cursed at by him, but that didn't happen, making me sigh in relief.

'Although I do feel a little sorry, I don't really have much of a choice on this matter.' 

There was no need to explain why I had to return before 1 AM. The same went for the time limit and the game's revenue split—it all came down to one thing: I needed to earn as much money as possible to afford my medicine.

And that included completing the mission before the time limit was up.

"I'm glad he was understanding."

Any normal person would've already stopped talking to me.

'In any case, now that I have arranged everything, I should go get some sleep and get ready for the inevitable stream.' 

I looked at my phone and set up an alarm for 5 PM.

"....This should be enough time."

Before heading out, I needed to add a few finishing touches to the game before putting it up for sale.

I couldn't just go over with an unfinished product.

'Hopefully, if all goes well, I'll get a few purchases.'

Sorted with that, I opened the system shop and looked through all of the items that were available for me to purchase.

I then looked at my available balance.

SP : 750

After purchasing one medicine, I only had 750 left. That was still good, but looking at all of the items, I could hardly buy myself anything.

The number of items that I could buy with this amount of SP was in the single digits.

This wasn't good at all.

...And as my thoughts paused there, I looked at my phone and checked my balance.

My heart pressed against my chest.

"Should I do it...?"

I bit my lip.

This was everything that I had left. If the game didn't end up selling, then I was completely done for.

'No, I might be done for if I don't do this.' 

The prior event had made it clear to me that I had to invest in the shop. The events were simply too dangerous.

I couldn't afford to horde the money.

As such, after pushing the demons in my mind away, I decided to convert 7,000$ into SP.

I did that by pressing the [Convert] button on the window and inputting the amount that I wanted converted.

Ding—

A chime rang on my phone shortly after.

[7,000$ has been withdrawn from your phone] _{freēwebnovel.com}

My heart bled at the sight of the notification. But I soon felt better when I saw my SP balance show 1,450.

With this, I felt a lot better.

"Now, what item should I buy...?"

I use the filter option and sort through all the available items to me. There were quite a few interesting ones, and just as my mind was about to settle on a certain item, I stopped.

"...No, not yet."

Taking into consideration the speed at which I had received the pill beforehand, there was no need for me to purchase any of the items yet.

'I'll hold off until I really need them.' 

I would choose to purchase the item in accordance with the situation.

This way, my chances of survival would increase.

'But if I'm going to do this, I should also memorize all of the items that I can buy so that I don't waste time looking through them when I need to.' 

The thought made my head throb, but considering the events that were about to transpire, I had no choice but to do so.

And so, that was what I did after coming back to my room.

It was only after I memorized everything that I finally went to sleep.
