Game Update Concepts

Recently, the issue of exchanging Divine Power for cash has become a hot topic in the discussion forums.

Tang Yu naturally took note of this.

Based on the suggestions from players in the forums, a concept gradually formed in Tang Yu's mind.

He would build an in-game trading platform.

Currently, in-game trading often requires two players to meet face-to-face, open the trade panel, and then conduct the transaction.

This leads to low trading efficiency, which invisibly slows down the players' development speed.

For example, if two parties want to trade, one might be at a resource point while the other is at a respawn point; to trade, they must discuss and decide on a meeting place, then travel to reach each other.

Although the launch of the teleportation array function improved this aspect, many drawbacks still exist.

Trading resources and equipment is fine; although the process still requires two players to meet face-to-face, at least the security of the transaction is guaranteed, with the exchange of Divine Power and resources (equipment) happening simultaneously.

However, transactions involving the exchange of Divine Power for cash have absolutely no guarantees.

Once cash is given, there is no certainty that the Divine Power will be received, and once Divine Power is given, there is no certainty that the cash will be received.

This is because one party in a Divine Power-for-cash transaction must perform a real-world bank transfer.

Transactions that are not simultaneous lead to unscrupulous players running off after receiving the cash (or Divine Power) without providing the equivalent value to the other party.

Although only a very small number of players do this, Tang Yu felt that this issue still needed to be addressed.

Therefore, a "reporting function" was recently launched in the game.

After verification by the God-Demon Space, if the reporter is confirmed to be a victim of fraud, the perpetrator is forcibly banned for three days and issued a warning; repeat offenses result in a minimum three-year ban, with a maximum penalty of a permanent ban.

The introduction of the reporting function has indeed had a significant effect.

Realizing that fraud in the game leads to a permanent ban, these players no longer dare to commit such violations.

Because the game Omnipotent God uses identity authentication, and each player only has one account, a permanent ban means a complete farewell to Omnipotent God.

For such an epoch-making game, the cost of a permanent ban is too high, so these players, already addicted to the game, naturally dare not make mistakes again.

However, there were still a few players who refused to believe it.

Because the Infinite Game Platform accounts they used were not their own, they felt that even if they were banned for fraud, it had nothing to do with them, and they could simply switch to another Infinite Game Platform account to continue playing Omnipotent God.

One player was even incredibly arrogant; after successfully committing fraud, he actually posted in the discussion forum, stating that he just happened to be out of Divine Power, had scammed a fool, and now had cash to buy more.

Amidst the condemnation from other players, this player even posted a screenshot of himself using the scammed cash to purchase Divine Power, acting with extreme arrogance.

Tang Yu quickly taught him a lesson for this.

He immediately banned his Omnipotent God account for three years.

The player clearly did not realize the severity of the problem; the next day, he logged out of his grandfather's Infinite Game Platform account and logged into his own.

As a result, after entering the game, the account was still banned for three years.

At that moment, his expression became quite spectacular.

What this player did not know was that the Omnipotent God account had no connection to the Infinite Game Platform; in reality, it was not bound to the platform's real-name authentication account, but to the player's own soul.

Therefore, switching accounts could not solve the ban issue at all.

Later, this player begged for mercy in the discussion forum, claiming that the scammed cash had been returned and even posting screenshots of the refund, pleading for official forgiveness.

However, Tang Yu never unbanned him.

He chose to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, letting the vast number of players understand the consequences of fraud in the game.

From then on, cases of fraud in the game vanished and never appeared again.

But after this issue arose, it also made Tang Yu realize the importance of adding a "trading platform" to the game.

With a trading platform, not only is security guaranteed, but trading efficiency can also be improved.

This invisibly accelerates the players' growth speed.

Once the trading platform is launched, players only need to use the filter buttons to purchase items listed by other players in the Trading House, whether they are resources, equipment, props, or even Divine Power.

At the same time, he can collect a transaction fee of about 2% in Divine Power, which counts as an additional source of income.

After weighing the pros and cons, Tang Yu immediately began building the "Trading House" function.

However, there is a problem at this stage that he needs to solve.

That is the recharge function.

Because if players want to buy Divine Power listed by other players in the Trading House, it will inevitably involve real-world bank transfers.

Divine Power trading is different from in-game trading; after one party purchases Divine Power listed by another, cash is deducted from their real-world bank card and transferred to the bank card of the player who listed the Divine Power.

Although Tang Yu only chooses to take a 2% commission in Divine Power and does not receive any cash commission.

But to recharge cash into the game, the Infinite Game Platform must be mentioned.

Although Tang Yu is fully capable of bypassing the game platform's management to allow players to complete cash-for-Divine-Power transactions.

The problem is, doing so is not easy to explain.

And it would appear far too advanced technologically.

The rules of the Infinite Game Platform were protected by law.

Directly using his abilities to bypass the Infinite Game Platform's rules to enable a recharge function would have too great an impact.

Therefore, if he wanted to integrate Divine Power trading into the game, he still needed to negotiate with the Infinite Game Platform.

Thinking of this, Tang Yu had the idea of letting "Omnipotent God" break away from the Infinite Game Platform.

This way, many of the functions he envisioned would not be interfered with by the Infinite Game Platform.

For example, the "Omnipotent God Player Forum," "Player Livestream Room," and so on, that he wanted to build later...

Once these functions went live, they would be unable to avoid the supervision of the Infinite Game Platform.

Especially regarding recharges, the Infinite Game Platform's rule was a 15% commission on all in-game recharges, which was something Tang Yu could not accept.

As for game promotion, Tang Yu no longer cared at all about the channels provided by the Infinite Game Platform.

Since "Omnipotent God" was listed, it had never relied on the Infinite Game Platform's promotional channels, nor had it ever run any advertisements.

It relied entirely on word-of-mouth from players, video promotions from game content creators, and game articles written by media personnel to acquire new player traffic.

Therefore, Tang Yu did not feel that breaking away from the Infinite Game Platform would have any impact on "Omnipotent God."

Thus, that very day, Tang Yu submitted an application to delist "Omnipotent God."

Several hours later.

The Infinite Game Platform held an emergency meeting, with all senior executives in attendance.

Upon receiving the delisting application for "Omnipotent God" sent by "Wonder Studio," they immediately realized that something was terribly wrong.

They had originally been considering how to hop onto the "Omnipotent God" express train heading toward a new era, but they had not expected to be kicked off halfway through.
