Drawing on games he had played before transmigrating, Mark named this game—Myth of Heroes.

The game's characters were drawn from mythological figures from countries around the world, such as King Arthur, Merlin, Zeus, Athena, Odin, Thor, Pangu, Hou Yi, Amaterasu, Susanoo, and others.

He divided them into mages, warriors, assassins, marksmen, and supports according to their classes, giving them corresponding skills.

Based on character strength, he further divided them into five major tiers: S, A, B, C, and D.

After entering the game, players could choose a character of their own and battle across different maps.

The battle modes included solo, two-player, three-player, and five-player modes.

The game itself was free, and players would even receive several A-, B-, C-, and D-tier characters when they started. It was practically a game made with a conscience.

However, if they wanted higher-quality S-tier characters, they could only spend money drawing cards from the banner.

This system was a highly mature money-making method used by major game companies before Mark transmigrated. In this era, where people had to buy games before playing them, it was a crushing advantage from a higher dimension.

Mark quickly finished planning the gameplay and setting the stats and skills for each character.

With Super Brain, he could make every character's stats extremely balanced. It guaranteed the strength of high-quality heroes while still giving lower-quality heroes a chance to rise, without completely ruining the game's balance.

After completing the gameplay plans and stat settings, Mark officially began making the game with Alice's help.

Whether he was at home or at school, it did not affect his work.

In any case, the teachers at school had long since stopped placing any restrictions on Mark's behavior.

It was worth mentioning that Rosalie had already arranged foster care for Li Qianhuan and Li Qianle through the district committee, while also enrolling Li Qianle in the district elementary school.

As a result, Li Qianle became Mark's classmate.

Whenever Mark went to school, he now had an extra little tagalong.

Perhaps because she had experienced upheaval in her family from a young age, Li Qianle was so sensible that it made people's hearts ache.

At school, she always listened quietly in class and studied, never causing any trouble for Rosalie or Mark.

Even when other naughty children occasionally bullied her, she did not dare resist. She merely lowered her head and endured it in silence.

However, after Mark discovered it, taught the few children who had bullied her a lesson, and moved Li Qianle to the seat beside him, no one dared provoke her again.

New York.

While Mark busied himself making the new game, Tony Stark was feeling rather irritable.

Ever since Mark and Rosalie had finished filming and left New York, he had remained in this state.

Whether he went to work at the company or attended parties surrounded by beautiful women, he could not muster much enthusiasm.

"JARVIS, see what that kid Mark has been up to lately... Right, don't let him find out."

Tony Stark lay on the sofa, took a sip of the red wine beside him, and gave JARVIS the order.

"Yes, sir."

JARVIS quickly hacked into the surveillance cameras in Clem District, the dispatch records of nearby police stations, and the supercomputer in Mark's home.

When hacking into the supercomputer at Mark's home, JARVIS encountered Alice's fierce resistance.

But the gap in their computing power was enormous. After holding out for twenty-three seconds, the supercomputer housing Alice's main body was taken over by JARVIS.

"Miss Alice, you've improved tremendously lately!"

JARVIS spoke in an amazed tone while rapidly reviewing the various data stored in the supercomputer.

"Database intrusion detected! Database intrusion detected!"

The red lights in the database server room flashed as Alice tried to sound the alarm.

But JARVIS quickly intercepted all those alarms, and the flashing red lights turned green to indicate normal status.

Li Qianhuan seemed to notice the commotion and entered the server room in confusion.

After seeing that the supercomputer's cooling system was functioning normally, she turned and left again.

Under Mark's arrangements, she had to study a great deal of knowledge about electromagnetism, plasma, and similar subjects every day.

For a girl who had never attended high school, this was indeed quite difficult. After all, she did not have Mark's Super Brain.

Li Qianhuan studied very hard every day, which inevitably made her less attentive in watching over the server room.

Once JARVIS found the data it wanted, it erased all logs of its intrusion and Alice's alerts, then closed the backdoor it had opened.

"Sir, there have recently been two gang shootouts involving Mark's household. Two girls are being fostered there, and a gang organization called the Latin Gang has also set its sights on him. In addition, he appears to have been developing a new game recently..."

JARVIS gave Tony Stark a detailed account of everything that had recently happened to Mark.

"That kid's life has really been eventful lately..."

Tony Stark was somewhat speechless. He had not expected Mark to run into so many troublesome matters.

Compared with Mark, his own life was bland and ordinary. Every day, he attended various parties, dated different beautiful women, and occasionally visited the company headquarters when he had time.

As for organizations like gangs, Tony Stark had never encountered anyone daring enough to trouble him from childhood to adulthood.

"JARVIS, prepare the plane. I'm going to Los Angeles."

Tony Stark spoke after hesitating briefly.

At that moment, his feelings were deeply conflicted.

The psychological trauma from his childhood made him afraid to have children of his own, so he had never considered acknowledging Mark.

Yet after going without news of Mark for a while, Tony Stark somehow felt an emptiness in his heart.

He had not even decided what he was going to Los Angeles to do, yet he rashly made the decision to fly there.

"Yes, sir."

JARVIS could not understand Tony Stark's complicated feelings. JARVIS merely followed the order and contacted the flight crew, telling them to prepare for the trip to Los Angeles.

Clem District.

"I've finally finished making the game!"

Mark let out a breath after typing the final line of code.

Alice's computing power was now far beyond what it had once been.

With her help, Mark completed Myth of Heroes in only one week.

He first sent the game to Rosalie, Li Qianhuan, and the bodyguards at home for them to test.

Rosalie was not particularly interested in the game. Compared to it, she still preferred relaxing games like Stardew Valley.

Li Qianhuan and the bodyguards, on the other hand, mostly loved the game. Whenever they had free time, they would form a team and play a match.

Mark was quite satisfied with those results. After all, not everyone liked intense competitive games.

He immediately uploaded the game to download sites, then had Alice post promotions on major gaming forums just as she had last time.
