[President Meng, is there something wrong with this horror-and-shooter genre? Is there some issue with it?]

Supervisor Lian asked in confusion. Hearing Meng Shu laugh, she grew curious and immediately wondered whether he thought there was a problem with combining those genres.

"There's no problem. I think it's quite good. Sorry, I lost my composure for a moment."

After laughing, Meng Shu immediately returned to his usual expression.

He picked up his coffee, walked to the window, and quietly sipped it as he watched the bustling traffic below.

[Is that so? Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with that genre either. It just feels a little strange. People online have said it too: shooters are all about exhilarating stress relief, while horror games, using yours as the standard, are frightening and oppressive. The two are clearly at odds. Forcing them together might be counterproductive.]

Supervisor Lian paused. Something had reached her lips, but she hesitated.

After thinking it over, she still asked.

[After all, even you haven't done this before. Among your released games, aside from "Dark Forest," the others all chose either shooting or horror.]

Hearing that, Meng Shu took a small sip of coffee.

He shook his head at her words.

"Supervisor Lian, there really is no problem with that genre combination, so there's nothing to criticize. I laughed just now because I thought their innovation came too late. Although they do seem to be targeting us somewhat, I personally still admire Ji You's idea."

As he spoke, he gazed into the distance at the clouds filling the sky, his expression calm.

"I hope they can finish the game on schedule. That would count as a contribution to the gaming industry, and it might help drive the horror game market forward."

Supervisor Lian froze on the spot.
