The God's Games

They also hadn't expected the boss to be so shameless, relying on fake reviews to deceive people, trying to fool as many people as possible.

The employees exchanged uneasy glances.

When they first joined the company, they had dreamt of one day creating a game they could be proud of, something that would satisfy both themselves and the players.

But after spending so much time muddling through in this small company, they found themselves merely following trends and copying others' games.

Their projects were rushed, the results unsatisfactory, and in the end, the games were poorly made.

The company's strategy was clear: make as much money as possible, no matter how cheaply the product was produced.

Over time, their passion faded as they realized how far they had drifted from their dreams.

During the process of copying the success of <<God's Games Online>>, they keenly felt the enormous gap between their work and the top gaming companies.

They had no clue how to create the kind of realistic game visuals seen in top-tier games and were completely unfamiliar with that area of technology.

Reflecting on the years wasted at this small company, where they learned nothing of value and only squandered their time, they were suddenly overwhelmed with a deep sense of regret.

Once the messenger had left, the tech department fell silent.

Then, one of the chubby employees suddenly stood up and said, "I'm done. I can't stand living such a useless life in this company anymore. You've all seen the technology that the Word of Eorera uses, right? If we stay here, do you really think we'll ever catch up with those top-tier game companies?"

The answer was obvious: no.

After speaking, the chubby employee headed straight for the HR department.

Everyone knew he was going to resign.

Perhaps his words had affected everyone in the room.

As they watched him walk away, they couldn't help but show a glimmer of hope in their eyes.

Some of them might have had the same thoughts as the chubby guy, while others felt there was nothing wrong with staying at the company.

After all, they were getting paid, and the games the company required didn't demand much in terms of technical expertise.

They thought that was just fine.

The chubby guy wasn't the first to speak out like this, and he certainly wouldn't be the last.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

They were already used to it.

Soon, the tech department fell silent again, and they began following the boss's orders to minimize the impact of the negative reviews online.

Of course, the internet users weren't fools.

Those who knew, understood exactly what was going on.

The game <<World of Fantasy>> sparked a wave of reviews and negative comments because it so brazenly rode the hype of <<God's Games Online>>.

The intent was obvious, and the quality was so poor that they were thoroughly ridiculed.

It was in this situations that Kim Jung-hyun learned that some game companies had imitated them by creating a so-called holographic game and had even sold quite a few pieces of equipment.

He immediately sensed a threat.

He quickly reported the news to Hanjun.

When Hanjun heard about it, he merely raised an eyebrow. "It's just a small company."

His meaning was clear—he had no intention of holding the other company accountable.

This left Kim Jung-hyun a bit anxious.

This wasn't a small matter.

That game had tied itself to World of Eorera, and if they didn't come forward and clarify, the other company's negative reputation could affect them too.

But then, Hanjun shifted the topic, suddenly saying, "Didn't you say our company hasn't been generating much income? Well, now that the game's storyline is nearly complete, I've decided to open the game to the public."

Hearing this, Kim Jung-hyun's eyes lit up with excitement. "So, we're finally going to remove the restriction on players entering the game?"

Hanjun nodded. "Since there's no longer a restriction, we won't be paying for the equipment ourselves anymore. Players will have to buy the equipment to enter the game."

Kim Jung-hyun rubbed his hands together in anticipation. "What's your planned price for the equipment?"

Hanjun stroked his chin in thought.

Previously, creating the equipment consumed a significant amount of his divine power, but now that his power had fully recovered, he didn't need to worry about the production quantity anymore.

In summary, the production cost was practically zero, so he could set the price lower.

Hanjun said, "Let's price the game helmets at 18,000 won, and the game pods at 38,000 won."

Kim Jung-hyun's jaw dropped.

This price was significantly lower than he had expected.

For equipment of this quality, most game companies would price it at least over 50,000 won.

It was certainly a very affordable deal.

But upon further thought, with a large number of players eager to try <<God's Games Online>>, this price would likely attract even more players.

So, Kim Jung-hyun nodded and said, "Alright, I'll send out the notice to inform the players."

With that, Kim Jung-hyun left, and Hanjun stepped out of the church, gazing at the still-ruined Ulon City, thinking to himself.

The final battle was about to begin.

~•~

Inside the game, Ulon City had become bustling with activity.

The demon race had halted their movements, and to ensure they could resist the next wave of attacks, everyone was urgently working to repair Ulon City.

Meanwhile, Hanjun issued two quests.

First, to investigate why the barrier that was protecting Ulon City had failed, and second, to search for the missing Arcane Master and Chronomancers.

Though Hanjun suspected that the Order of the Shattering Light had sabotaged the barrier, they still needed to understand exactly what had gone wrong.

On the other hand, even though they had been in Ulon City for a while, there had been no sign of the missing Arcane Master and Chronomancers.

Normally, their presence should have been enough to prevent the fall of Ulon City.

However, not only had the barrier been broken, but the those people from Magic Tower had also vanished, leaving everyone puzzled.
