The heated discussion over Omnipotent God being pulled from the platform gradually died down after the Infinite Game Platform issued a new announcement.
But there was nothing the Infinite Game Platform could do to stop all the Omnipotent God players from gradually flocking to the "Omnipotent God Platform."
There weren't many players on the Omnipotent God Platform yet, but they knew that sooner or later, the rest of the Infinite Game Platform's players would come over.
The worst-case scenario had come to pass.
All they could do now was plan ahead and prepare to transform the company. Otherwise, they were doomed.
Just then, Jiang Ming came up with a new proposal.
Before the Infinite Game Platform collapsed completely, they should sell it at a discount to an overseas gaming platform looking to enter the domestic market and cash out as soon as possible.
As for the proceeds from the sale, they would all be invested in Omnipotent God, where they could lay the groundwork for Infinite Company's new ambitions.
Since Wonder Studio wouldn't sell Divine Power, they would buy it from the players instead.
Jiang Ming's proposal soon won unanimous approval from Infinite's executives.
In their view, Omnipotent God's future was bound to be global. Its popularity would spread from the domestic market to the rest of the world sooner or later. So before overseas gaming companies even knew a game called Omnipotent God existed, getting them to take over Infinite Company and cashing out early was undoubtedly the best option.
It was obvious that this would be screwing over their overseas peers.
But as Infinite Company's executives saw it, better them than us. At least they'd managed to get out in time.
Whoever took over the company would simply be fated to suffer that calamity.
The Omnipotent God Platform had been live for just one day, and its downloads had already reached 850,000.
Aside from a few players who hadn't yet heard that Omnipotent God had switched platforms, the rest had all made their way to the Omnipotent God Platform.
After downloading the app, players opened it, and the new platform's interface appeared.
The homepage's border featured a map of Dragon Scale Island. At the center of the page were the words "Omnipotent God," wreathed in flames, with the game download button below.
The new platform also had plenty of other sections.
For example, the Player Livestream Room, player forums, a troop compendium (updated in real time), a resource compendium (updated in real time), and more...
This platform belonged entirely to Omnipotent God's players. Every section and feature served the game.
At the same time, a pinned announcement on the homepage delighted Omnipotent God's players.
[Official Announcement: Game Update—Trading House Feature Now Live]
Poster: Wonder Studio (Verified Official Account)
Content:
After a series of tests, the Trading House feature has officially launched in Omnipotent God. Once in the game, players can open the Trading House interface by tapping the feature list.
Trading House features:
List items for sale (any item in the game other than troops can be listed in the Trading House at a set price), purchase items (only items purchased with Divine Power), purchase Divine Power (requires cash, and Divine Power must be listed for sale by a player in the Trading House), and sell Divine Power.
Trading House rules: For every completed transaction, 2% of the Divine Power received will be taken as a fee.
Note: Players who wish to purchase Divine Power must link a personal bank card to the platform to enable automatic payment after purchase. The platform does not charge a cash transaction fee.
"This is way too generous! Every feature serves the players, and the Trading House takes its fee in Divine Power instead of cash. I'm starting to worry you'll go bankrupt."
"Don't do that! Please take 2% in cash instead of Divine Power. I'm planning to spend a fortune buying Divine Power. It'll add up—how much are you going to take from me? Damn official account, don't do this!"
"As expected of Wonder Studio. You'd rather take your cut in Divine Power than make money. Even if you charged 2% on both sides, we'd be fine with it. I just want this game to keep growing. I'm only worried you'll go broke and shut down."
"Damn official account, stop trying to tough it out. You've left the Infinite Game Platform, and you're no longer paying its 15% cut on purchases. It's time to open up a payment channel! I've been waiting forever. Having money but no way to buy Divine Power is so frustrating!"
Players were thrilled that the Trading House had launched.
At the same time, they filled the announcement's comments with their concerns, urging Wonder Studio to open a payment channel or charge a cash transaction fee.
They believed that if Wonder Studio didn't find a way to make money soon, it would eventually be unable to cover maintenance, updates, and other expenses, and would go bankrupt.
But clearly, the players' concerns were misplaced.
Seeing how worried everyone was, Tang Yu naturally couldn't just leave them without a reply.
So he responded to the announcement with three words and pinned his reply.
"Money's no object!"
After that, he ignored the players' frantic mentions and turned his attention to the game.
Dragon Scale Island, on the East Sea shore.
Jiang Ming sat alone on the beach, watching the tide roll in and out as he pondered his situation.
He had already sent the details of the Infinite Platform sale to the leading gaming companies overseas.
All that remained was to wait for their replies.
As long as the price was right—even if they had to sell at a discount—they could accept it and get the deal done quickly.
The thought that the "empire" his father and uncles had built with their own hands would collapse on his watch filled him with a vague sense of guilt.
His father often told stories about the company's early days. Jiang Ming could imagine how devastated his father would be when he heard the news while on vacation.
But there was nothing he could do to change this outcome.
He looked up at the fading sunlight on the distant horizon and clenched his fists.
The road ahead was a gamble.
If he succeeded, he would recreate Infinite Company's glory in the game—and perhaps surpass its former success by far.
If he failed, he would lose everything.
He had no confidence in himself, but he had confidence in Omnipotent God.
The fact that Wonder Studio had rejected his offer to trade the entire platform for two billion Divine Power had shown him that the studio's ambitions went far beyond the domestic market.
So as long as he seized the right opportunity, Infinite Company could ride Omnipotent God's rapid growth in the game and soar to new heights.
As for which part of the game Infinite Company should focus on next, Jiang Ming hadn't figured that out yet.
Just as Jiang Ming was lost in thought,
two lines of waves suddenly rose on the distant sea, one red on the left and one blue on the right.
The waves finally met in the center and crashed into each other, sending water spraying into the air with a thunderous roar.
At the same time, two figures appeared where they collided.
The figures were remarkably similar. Each stood over a thousand meters tall and resembled a supersized version of Godzilla from the movies. The difference was that one was crimson from head to toe, while the other was a vivid blue.
With roars that shook the sky, the two figures attacked each other at the same time.
"Holy crap, giant monsters!"
Stunned by the incredible sight, Jiang Ming gaped. "Holy crap!" slipped out before he could stop himself.
