To ascend, I had no choice but to create games

Chapter 169: Chapter 127 Each One’s First Day (Part 3)_1

Had you asked a few days ago what a “bad guy” looked like, you surely would have received a myriad of answers.

However, now, 90 percent of the fans following Fang Cheng Studio’s official account would proudly display their following list and point to that one name, “Him!”

Ever since the decision to start promoting, the account has been posting actual gameplay videos at irregular times each day and began a countdown.

This meant that players had to check daily, and every time they did, they realized how many more days were left until the game’s official release, which left them in a state of eager frustration.

Of course, some people were not frustrated at all but rather thrilled.

Kirin Industry on the first floor had already obtained the authorization. “The Supreme One” VR version was going to be released simultaneously, with cross-platform data integration.

This news triggered another sales frenzy for Kirin Industry’s VR integration machines, securing their sales volume for the first quarter.

Expectations for the game had become a hot topic recently, with other game developers even choosing to stay clear of that day to avoid a head-on clash with the wildly popular “The Supreme One,” which could diminish their own game sales.

There were those who sourly commented that the higher the pedestal, the harder the fall, advising everyone to play games rationally and not to deify any particular studio.

A variety of voices began to converge, with every opinion represented, as a massive crowd started to speak up about “The Supreme One” across different platforms, expressing their viewpoints.

As Dustfire, the red passion associated with “The Supreme One,” continued to surge and burn, the flames mixed with assorted colors. But Fang Cheng believed it wouldn’t be long before it all merged into one pure hue.

Finally, January 21st arrived.

The severe winter had just passed, and it was still cold, yet many game enthusiasts were burning with anticipation for the game’s release.

Once the game was released at eight in the morning, the download numbers skyrocketed, causing a slight lag and leading to some players only getting their turn with the game by noon that day.

After finishing the character customization, players would first see this immense world, admiring its vastness and grandeur from afar.

Then, they would be thrown directly into this world, each spawning at different locations, ready to integrate into this world and become a part of it.

Tang Mo was one of them.

Despite his utmost confidence in Fang Cheng Studio, he couldn’t help feeling a little nervous as the game’s release date was drawing near.

His new book had sold well, earning enough money for him to justify purchasing a VR machine in the name of research and enter this world with the latest VR equipment to appreciate the supreme elegance of this world firsthand.

And when he officially entered, walking in the small towns of South Water Town, all his previous doubts vanished, replaced by a profound sense of satisfaction.

It was exactly the same.

The surrounding style was identical to the one shown in the trailers; the quaint scenery seemed like someone had materialized everything from his dreams, making him finally relax and start enjoying everything around him.

Opening the in-game guide, he walked while reading through its contents.

“The Supreme One” was a buy-to-play game, still updating its content, and while the likelihood of encountering a bug was very low, it was still possible.

The main goal for the players was to choose their field of development and strive to reach the status of being “First Under Heaven.”

And for the players who did achieve the title of “First Under Heaven,” their statue would be placed atop the world’s summit, their visage forever immortalized for future players to behold.

Successors wouldn’t be without their own challenges; when they successfully challenged the previous title holders, their images too would be etched at the summit, becoming the new “First Under Heaven.”

Therefore, players, please take care with your character’s appearance. Although it’s possible to create a body fit for ancient gods, consider the feelings of other players.

Reading this tip, some players began to regret not having created a body of an ancient deity for themselves.

Using the initial copper coins in his pocket to buy steamed meat buns from a roadside stand, Tang Mo saw that they were made lifelike, and upon tearing one open, he could see the meat filling inside. Even though he couldn’t smell them, just the sight of the glistening buns was enough to whet Tang Mo’s appetite.

While eating and walking, Tang Mo skimmed over all the tips, understanding the purposes of attributes and skills, and then he started looking at the “First Under Heaven” list.

Tens of thousands of entries appeared before him, causing him to gasp in astonishment.

So many!

The copywriters for this game must be exhausted!

Sympathizing with these kindred spirits for a moment, Tang Mo continued his exploration.

Each subcategory detailed the methods to achieve its goals, with each category listing who currently held that title, whether NPC or player.

Tang Mo wasn’t into fighting and killing; he was eager to see how the game let players become the top novelist.

In reality, he had always hoped his novels would top the charts, become bestsellers, and make him a star in the literary world, basking in the glory at the summit.

Yet, he had also realized his talents were limited, and some aspects were lacking, which left him feeling discontented.

This yearning had gradually turned into torment, making his daily writing somewhat painful.

If he could achieve this goal in the game, maybe he’d feel a lot happier.

The search bar appeared in the air, positioned just in front of him at a convenient height, allowing him to directly interact with it with his fingertips, which was very handy.
