Infinite High-Level Meeting

Infinite Games Company, conference room.

Following the retirement of the old chairman, this was the first meeting where all high-level shareholders, including the new chairman, were in attendance.

The group sat before the conference table, gazing at the virtual screen with puzzled expressions.

What the virtual screen displayed was the detailed data for Omnipotent God on the Infinite Game Platform.

By utilizing the platform's database and traffic monitoring, this report had been generated in just five minutes.

After reviewing the data, the executives of the Infinite Game Platform realized that the game presented in the report was one with immense potential.

However, they remained deeply confused as to what this emergency meeting had to do with this specific game.

"Everyone is here, so I will now explain the situation to you all in detail!"

After glancing around at the group, Fang Chong stood up and spoke.

Hearing this, those seated turned their gazes toward Fang Chong, waiting for him to clear up their confusion.

Fang Chong then began his address.

He detailed the situation, from the moment he discovered the game and entered it out of curiosity, to his subsequent experiences within it.

Listening to Fang Chong's account, the expressions of the platform executives at the conference table gradually turned serious.

Most of them were veterans who had founded the Infinite Game Platform alongside the old chairman. Having spent over a decade grinding in the gaming industry, they understood its structure intimately.

Once Fang Chong voiced his concerns, they all realized the gravity of the situation.

A game with one hundred percent realism had appeared!

Though they found it hard to believe, they knew Fang Chong well enough to know he would never joke about such a thing.

But if it were all true.

The existing framework of the gaming industry might be on the verge of collapse.

The reason the Infinite Game Platform held a monopoly domestically was inseparable from the fact that the gaming industry was a blooming garden filled with a vast array of different games.

If Omnipotent God was truly as Fang Chong described and would become humanity's second world, then the Infinite Game Platform would lose its reason for existence.

If all players flocked to Omnipotent God, the Infinite Game Platform would exist in name only.

More importantly.

When that time came, would the studio behind Omnipotent God still be willing to hand over 15% of their profits to the Infinite Platform?

The answer was self-evident.

Thinking of this, those present felt a chill run down their spines.

"What should we do?" someone asked, looking toward Fang Chong.

"I have thought about this for a long time. I believe the safest approach is to cooperate with Wonder Studio before Omnipotent God truly takes off, promising to help promote the game with all our might in exchange for 5% of future in-game purchase revenue."

"Why only 5%? Isn't that too low!" someone immediately questioned.

"To be honest, my bottom line is 1%!" Fang Chong sighed helplessly in response to the inquiry.

The room erupted in an uproar upon hearing this.

"I know what you are all thinking, but if you put yourselves in their shoes—if you held a game in your hands that was destined to become a global phenomenon, would you be willing to trade 5% of your future profits just to secure rapid early-stage growth?"

Hearing this, the group fell silent.

They had to admit that Fang Chong's analysis was sound.

For a game of Omnipotent God's epoch-making significance, the role of promotion was only useful in the early stages. Once the game became truly popular, it would no longer need advertising; its fame would spread as rapidly as a virus.

Therefore, using early-stage promotion as a bargaining chip might not even be enough to get them to agree, let alone secure more benefits.

"I've finished sharing my thoughts. Does anyone have anything to say?" Fang Chong looked around the room and asked.

"Although I don't want to accept it, it seems there is no better way. I agree with Fang Chong's point of view!"

"I don't have any thoughts for now. After the meeting, I'll go experience the game myself, and then we'll see."

"I also agree with Fang Chong's idea. At the very least, we can negotiate some benefits, which is better than having nothing at all."

"Hey, it hasn't even been that long since Old Jiang retired; who would've thought something like this would happen."

The people seated around the table voiced their thoughts one after another.

The sudden appearance of the Omnipotent God made them realize that the next wave of the era had arrived, and they had no choice but to accept it.

Although the Infinite Game Platform still held its ground for the time being, its collapse was only a matter of time.

"Jiang Ming, what's your take? You're the chairman now; do you have any ideas?" At this, someone turned their gaze toward Jiang Ming, signaling for him to share his thoughts.

"Can't we just acquire this game studio early, before they have a chance to grow?" Jiang Ming, who had remained silent until now, said with clear reluctance.

Hearing this, the others exchanged glances.

It was obvious that Jiang Ming still hadn't realized the severity of the situation.

However, since Jiang Ming was the chairman, they didn't want to contradict him to his face, so they all chose to remain silent.

"Jiang Ming, back when we were starting out with the old chairman, someone offered one hundred million to acquire the Infinite Game Platform we had built. We were destitute back then, even owing the bank a huge sum of money, yet we still refused. Do you know why?" A man sitting across from Fang Chong stood up and spoke.

"Why?" Jiang Ming responded instinctively.

"Although one hundred million was a massive fortune to us at the time, we believed the future of the Infinite Game Platform was worth more than that, and we trusted that it would create even greater wealth for us."

Hearing this, the slow-witted Jiang Ming finally understood.

At that moment, his expression turned incredibly ugly.

Because just a few hours ago, he had sent an email to Wonder Studio containing a threatening tone.

And he had already received a reply from Wonder Studio.

They had used two concise words to tell him: keep dreaming!

Just as Jiang Ming sat there with a grim face, unsure whether he should confess to the group, Fang Chong stood up and spoke:

"Since everyone's thoughts are basically in alignment, let's try to establish contact with Wonder Studio first and see what their stance is."

As he spoke, Fang Chong pressed his virtual remote, and the image on the virtual screen immediately jumped to the backend of the Infinite Game Platform.

"I've drafted a letter here. Take a look and see if anything needs changing. If there are no issues, we'll send it off!"

With that, Fang Chong opened the inbox of the platform administrator account.

Immediately, everyone's eyes focused on the reply email at the very top of the inbox.

At that moment, the expressions on the faces of everyone present became truly spectacular.
