The God's Games

After considering it, Cha Dan-pung politely declined the offers.

Just as he was about to close the private messages, a new private message suddenly popped up.

Cha Dan-pung hesitated for a moment before clicking on it.

As soon as he read the message, he regretted it, feeling like he was wasting his time.

[ Hello, I'm from the National Institute of Science and Technology. We have some questions to ask you. Can we discuss this in detail? ]

He had never heard anything about the "National Institute of Science and Technology" before and thought it was just another scammer who was trying to trick him.

Cha Dan-pung didn't even bother to reply.

He just blocked the person immediately.

Soon after, the video editor sent him the edited videos according to his instructions.

Cha Dan-pung skimmed through the videos and felt they were good enough to be uploaded.

After uploading the videos, he checked out the beta test players' group chat.

It was a small group he had created just for the beta test players, but it was quiet now, likely because everyone was busy playing the game and didn't have time to chat.

Since he had finished his live streaming early today, Cha Dan-pung decided to browse the official forums.

Aside from Spicy Flavor Fairy's guide and other players who are discussing about the game, most of the posts were complaints about how few people were on the beta test list.

Players were wondering when they'd finally get to play the game.

The official team still hadn't given any answers about this.

From the way the officials were handling it, it seemed like they weren't too concerned.

This attitude was starting to frustrate the players who had missed out on the beta test selection twice, so negative comments were gradually appearing on the forum.

Now, it wasn't just posts questioning the realism of the holographic game, but rather complaints about the game company's lack of action, keeping players in suspense, buying trending spots, and basically anything that suggested the company didn't care about the players.

People were bringing up all sorts of issues.

As Cha Dan-pung scrolled through a few pages of the forum, he noticed that the conversation felt a bit strange.

After all, <<God's Games Online>> was still in the beta testing phase, and it was understandable for the officials to act the way they were.

The game's content was so realistic that it caught a lot of players' attention.

But that didn't seem like a good reason for other players to start criticizing the officials.

A thought popped into Cha Dan-pung's mind: could it be that someone had hired a troll and infiltrated the forum?

Thinking about it, it wouldn't be surprising.

<<God's Games Online>> had already made it to the trending lists, and if there were any surveys, it would surely be considered the most anticipated game of the year.

At the peak of Cha Dan-pung's live streaming, the number of viewers can reach one million.

When the officials were selecting beta test players, fifty thousand players signed up within just two days, showing how much attention <<God's Games Online>> was getting.

With that in mind, it wasn't surprising if some competitors were getting jealous.

Cha Dan-pung had also heard from some fans that many companies were ramping up efforts to develop holographic games, trying to seize a share of the market.

Even if their technology wasn't up to par, they were determined to release something that could at least look like a holographic game.

But Cha Dan-pung didn't care at all.

He believed that with the current quality of <<God's Games Online>>, no other game company could surpass it.

He was completely confident in that.

What caught Cha Dan-pung's attention was a post by a familiar online user, with a title that was completely different from their usual style.

[ Are Trolls Involved Now? Even if someone really made a holographic game, it doesn't mean you can do it too! ]

The title was sarcastic enough, and it made Cha Dan-pung chuckle as he clicked on it.

The post was from a user named "Mister Trouble Maker," who used to constantly comment under official videos, claiming that a holographic game was impossible.

Ever since the game forum was created, he'd been patrolling it, leaving his mark everywhere, becoming the first non-beta test player that everyone recognized.

Of course, because he was so active, every time players saw him, they couldn't help but mock him, saying, "Why are you here again?"

If he hoped that such comments would get the officials to notice him and grant him a beta test slot, that wasn't going to happen.

Mister Trouble Maker never explained much, always sticking to his beliefs.

But today, he posted something like this.

Cha Dan-pung went in to check and saw that many people shared his feelings.

...

[ Aachen Reply: Am I seeing things? Mr. Trouble Maker actually admitted that <<God's Games Online>> is real? Is it raining red in the sky or something? ]

[ ReBoot Reply: I guess it's like, 'I can criticize <<God's Games Online>>, but that doesn't mean others can too.' Mr. Trouble Maker's loyalty to the officials is unwavering. ]

[ Gilga™ Reply: Yeah, yeah, the officials should just give Mr. Trouble Maker a beta test slot already, seeing how dedicated he is. ]

...

Then the discussion turned to whether there were trolls in the forum.

Cha Dan-pung replied to the post, agreeing that trolls might be involved, then left the thread to get some sleep.

However, he didn't expect that his reply would be noticed.

Several regular forum users recognized him as the streamer of <<God's Games Online>> and started to excitedly ask for his help.

…

Hanjun opened his eyes and felt that on Earth, the name <<God's Games Online>> was being mentioned constantly.

He had set <<God's Games Online>> as a special keyword on Earth, so whenever someone talked about the game, he could directly hear the related discussions.

This was one of the few perks of being a god.
