Li Hong arrived early at Sweet Potato Films and found Mark tinkering with the equipment.
"The Goddess Alliance is live now. How's it performing?"
Mark shook his head, sounding pessimistic. "Not great. The number of concurrent players is still quite low. We have over a hundred thousand registered players, but only about twenty thousand are online at the same time."
Li Hong nodded; this result was within his expectations. After all, the Goddess Alliance hadn't yet ramped up its marketing efforts, and considering it was a tower defense game competing with DA, having fewer players wasn't a major concern.
"What’s the feedback like?" This was what Li Hong was more concerned about. If the response was strong and players could accept this type of game model, then it would be considered a success.
"Well, it's not bad. So far, players seem to be quite receptive to the game. It might also be because we just launched, and players haven't fully experienced the fun yet. I'm already satisfied with this kind of feedback."
Mark's thoughts aligned with Li Hong's. Since they had just opened the servers, no one had reached the maximum level yet, and the true competitive ranking matches had yet to unveil their mysterious curtain.
It's worth mentioning that in Goddess Alliance, ranked matches are also divided by seasons. Interestingly, in the historical League of Legends, earlier seasons did not include divisions like Bronze or Challenger.
However, under Li Hong's suggestion, the first season of Goddess Alliance officially introduced Bronze and Silver divisions.
"Don't worry; the ads I had Charlie set up will be launching soon. For now, focus on maintaining server stability; that's your priority," Li Hong instructed.
At the launch of Goddess Alliance, he had already instructed Charlie to invest heavily in advertising.
Due to the tight competition for popular advertising slots, Goddess Alliance had yet to make its debut. Now, counting the days, the first batch of advertisements was about to launch. At this moment, facing the influx of players, the stability of the server was evidently more important.
Mark understood the seriousness of the situation and nodded solemnly.
Li Hong didn’t pay much attention; the server hardware here was something he had snatched from Penguin Dad.
These machines had previously supported a massive number of players online simultaneously for League of Legends, so the pressure on Goddess Alliance wasn’t too great.
“How is the construction of the Overseas Server going?” Li Hong inquired.
“It’s going well; everything will be online shortly. This was prepared in advance, so it’s not much trouble,” Mark replied confidently.
Hearing this from Mark, Li Hong finally felt a weight lift off his shoulders.
There was no choice; he was counting on Goddess Alliance to rise quickly and bring him a substantial cash flow.
…
At Bongguk High School, in a second-year classroom of a private high school, Lee Sang-hyuk woke from his slumber.
“Huh? What is this…?”
Looking around at the youthful boys and girls in their uniforms beside him, Lee Sang-hyuk appeared dazed.
The old teacher at the front, wearing thick black-rimmed glasses, turned to glance at Lee Sang-hyuk and curiously asked, “Sang-hyuk, do you have any questions?”
“Uh?” Lee Sang-hyuk remained blank, completely unable to process what was happening.
Silly Chicken nudged Lee Sang-hyuk's right hand and reminded him, "Sang-hyuk, hurry up and sit down. It's class time."
"Oh, oh..." Lee Sang-hyuk sat down, looking around with a bewildered expression.
The old teacher noticed that Lee Sang-hyuk had settled in and sighed, not saying much.
Seeing the unusual look on Lee Sang-hyuk's face, Silly Chicken curiously asked, "Sang-hyuk, what's wrong? Did you just wake up from a nap?"
Upon seeing Silly Chicken's youthful face, Lee Sang-hyuk suddenly became excited. He grabbed Silly Chicken's hand and asked, "Silly Chicken? Is that really you?"
"Yes, it's me! What's wrong, Sang-hyuk? Are you feeling stressed about exams? Don't worry, I'll let you copy my answers," Silly Chicken said, patting Lee Sang-hyuk's hand to comfort him.
"Exams?"
Lee Sang-hyuk froze for a moment, then trembled as he asked, "Silly Chicken, what year and month is it now?"
"It's noon! Lunch is about to start. You must be really out of it!" Silly Chicken explained while scratching his head.
"Not that! I mean what year and month is it?"
"Haha, it's November 2017! Have you forgotten that?" Silly Chicken looked at Lee Sang-hyuk as if he were foolish and felt an inexplicable sympathy for him.
It seemed that after getting beaten up by someone from the neighboring class, Sang-hyuk had been spouting nonsense ever since. What could be done about this?
"2017? November?"
Lee Sang-hyuk became even more agitated. Had he really gone back seven years?
This is unbelievable!
In his previous life, Lee Sang-hyuk, a professional player of the Goddess Alliance, was a super mid-laner in the LK Region.
Unfortunately, the shortsighted LK Region club, in pursuit of better results, continuously brought in Chinese Aid from the LPL Region. Even he, Lee Sang-hyuk, was pushed out of the starting lineup by a Chinese Aid named Position and had to guard the water cooler within the club.
"Chinese Aid?"
Lee Sang-hyuk's gaze turned cold, concealing the turmoil within him.
If it weren't for the early opening of the Huafu server and the vast population of Huaxia, how could LPL dominate the Goddess Alliance?
Thinking back to LK's four missed opportunities for the most glorious Summoner Girl Outfit in the Goddess Alliance, Lee Sang-hyuk felt a deep sense of regret.
SK, the club he had loyally served in his previous life, was fierce in internal battles but weak against external ones. If it weren't for him, Lee Sang-hyuk, carrying the team single-handedly, they might not have even made it past the group stage.
But it was only the group stage; SK made it to the World Championship year after year, reaching the quarterfinals each time. It truly broke Lee Sang-hyuk's heart.
"These useless teammates! If it weren't for them, I would have already led SK to defeat the invincible LPL teams."
With this thought in mind, Lee Sang-hyuk's gaze softened as he looked at Silly Chicken.
"It seems like Silly Chicken hasn't changed much yet?"
Watching Lee Sang-hyuk drag him out of the classroom, Silly Chicken widened his eyes in surprise and asked, "Sang-hyuk, what are you doing? The exam is about to start! Are you crazy?"
"I'm not crazy; I'm leading you down an unprecedented path."
Lee Sang-hyuk stopped in his tracks and turned to Silly Chicken, asking with utmost seriousness, "Silly Chicken, you once told me that your biggest dream is to stand at a height where everyone can see you. And then marry a beautiful sister to play games with you. Now I ask you, if such an opportunity arose, would you let it pass?"
"Of course I wouldn't let it pass, but the problem is, there isn't such an opportunity for me!" Silly Chicken replied helplessly.
"There is an opportunity; you just haven't realized it yet. Trust me, Silly Chicken, that opportunity has come."
Lee Sang-hyuk smiled mysteriously and pulled Silly Chicken toward the school gate.
If he remembered correctly, the Goddess Alliance should have opened the server by now, which meant he could start playing.
Having been reborn, Lee Sang-hyuk's mind was filled with thoughts of how to combat the impending Chinese Aid and the looming s1 World Championship.
As for studying and going to school—what even is that? Is it delicious?
