The number of players in Omnipotent God had been growing rapidly over the past few days.

Regarding promotion, many players were not only recommending the game to their friends but also to the gaming content creators they frequently followed, providing them with material to produce game videos.

Perhaps before entering the game, these creators had not held high expectations for Omnipotent God.

Some creators even had ulterior motives; they enjoyed picking on games produced by obscure, small studios, looking for bugs and points to mock in order to create videos filled with memes to bait viewers into liking, favoriting, and tipping.

After discovering that Omnipotent God met their requirements, these creators had approached the game with a biased perspective.

However, once they entered the game and experienced the content, every single one of them was shocked.

Realizing they had discovered a treasure, the creators naturally stopped treating the game with indifference and began putting real effort into producing recommendation videos.

They wanted to seize the time to produce these videos before the game truly went viral, hoping to use the game to boost their own popularity.

Their promotion allowed Omnipotent God to be known by even more players.

Just as Tang Yu had thought from the beginning, as long as the game's quality was up to par, there was no fear of it being buried.

Although Omnipotent God had a difficult start without any marketing, its excellent quality allowed it to spread like a spiderweb, becoming known to more and more players.

Subsequently, "keen-nosed" gaming journalists also caught wind of the game; without Tang Yu spending a cent on advertising, they spontaneously wrote articles for Omnipotent God.

The emergence of Omnipotent God attracted widespread attention and discussion within the gaming circle in a short period.

As of today, the daily download count for Omnipotent God had surpassed one hundred thousand.

At the same time, a large number of fresh gameplay mechanics were being developed within the game.

Players discovered that, aside from gathering resources and completing construction tasks, there were actually many other interesting things to do in the game.

For example, exploring the game map.

In normal games, many scene models are reused, so the fun of exploring the map is not very high.

Take trees, for example.

Even the games currently on the market with high levels of realism cannot handle this aspect perfectly.

If the details of every single tree were made completely unique, it would invisibly increase the production burden.

Therefore, for the modeling of trees and plants in scenes, game developers generally adopt the method of creating a few templates and then copy-pasting them throughout the scene.

In the eyes of many players, Omnipotent God was no exception.

But after an in-depth experience, the players realized their assumption was dead wrong.

The modeling of every tree in the game was different, down to the details of the leaf veins, which were completely unique. Some bored players even dug up tree roots to compare them.

The result was that they were all completely different.

The perfect construction of the scenes enhanced the joy of exploration.

Besides that, players could also discover various interesting things during their exploration.

For instance, novel flora and fauna, magnificent scenery completely different from the real world, and indigenous creatures with independent thinking capabilities, among others...

These discoveries made exploring the game content extremely interesting.

Furthermore, a series of gameplay mechanics such as fishing and wilderness survival were expanded, making Omnipotent God feel more like the "Second World" the players had always envisioned.

While the casual players found their fun, many PVP players also found their own enjoyment in the game.

As the number of new players continued to increase, the contradictions and conflicts between them not only failed to ease but instead intensified.

New alliances were springing up in the game like mushrooms after rain.

This was because while Omnipotent God was becoming known to more players, it also attracted the attention of many gaming clubs.

Sensing a business opportunity, they flocked to Omnipotent God, starting to lay out their plans for the future in advance.

Their appearance also brought a large number of high-level players to the game.

These high-level players possessed a level of understanding of the game, as well as the ability to grasp and utilize resources, that was far more professional than the average player.

Recently, these top-tier club players had frequently posted strategy guides in the Omnipotent God discussion forum. On the surface, it was to help novice players better understand the game, but in reality, it was to win people over—especially the unorganized solo players—to strengthen their own factions.

At the same time, the emergence of these gaming clubs also exacerbated the contradictions and disputes within the game.

The major clubs already had friction with each other in other games, and in Omnipotent God, a game centered on resource competition, these contradictions were ignited even further.

Nowadays, every resource point discovered, with the exception of Sun-Eroding Island, had turned into a battlefield.

The major factions tripped each other up, launching hearty, large-scale brawls from time to time, which left those players keen on PVP absolutely thrilled.

According to one player in the Omnipotent God discussion forum, the current disputes between the major factions in the game were just like the era of warlords fighting for supremacy at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, allowing him to experience the excitement of a chaotic world within the game.

Players with different interests had all found their own joy in Omnipotent God.

While the number of Omnipotent God players was flourishing, the amount of Divine Power Tang Yu gained from his daily commissions also increased significantly.

To accelerate the game's progress, Tang Yu was already considering the upcoming game updates and the Gods' Inheritance that needed to be unsealed.

At the same time, regarding the frequent occurrence of mysterious and terrifying incidents in the real world, Tang Yu had a preliminary response plan forming in his mind.

That day, Tang Yu lay on his bed, browsing through the news.

His focus remained on information related to the mysterious and the horrific.

[I encountered something strange recently. The woman next door insists that her husband is not her original husband, but a monster. Could this be related to the mysterious events everyone is always discussing?]

"The original poster is overthinking it. Tell your neighbor to see a psychiatrist immediately."

"Maybe she's traumatized? She probably read too much about these online discussions and developed persecutory delusions, thinking she'd encounter something too!"

"This reminds me of a game where you can turn into someone else's husband at will, experiencing all sorts of... (funny.jpg)"

[I live in a mountain village. Yesterday, my friend and I climbed over the backyard fence to play in the mountains. In a river deep in the woods, we actually saw a woman bathing. We were so excited that we hid in the trees to watch, but when the woman turned around, we were scared to death—she had absolutely no facial features!!!]

"I already had my pants off, and you hit me with a twist like that at the end???"

"Good grief, that's just great. Netizens are getting better and better at making up stories!"

"What was the ending? Did the female ghost drag the original poster off to the bridal chamber?"

As he scrolled, Tang Yu's brows furrowed.

It was difficult even for him to judge whether the experiences shared by the netizens were true or false.

However, it was certain that among these posters, some had truly encountered evil spirits and demons.

These unstable factors were constantly undermining the stability of the real world.

After putting down his phone, Tang Yu made a decision.

The "Night Watchman" project was officially launched.
