Li Hong had just returned to the office, preparing to see how things would unfold with the team, when he suddenly noticed a familiar face walking into his office.
Indeed, it was a familiar face.
With a shiny bald head and a patch of beard on his chin, the man had a square face that looked quite serious.
Supreme God?
Yes, the person who had just entered Li Hong's office was none other than Supreme God, the one who had led Li Hong astray.
Supreme God sat silently, and Li Hong was at a loss for what to do. Logically speaking, Supreme God was his boss. But this was Sweet Potato Films, and Li Hong was the boss here...
This strange thought left him unsure of how to interact with Supreme God.
Fortunately, Supreme God didn't seem to care much about the situation. He walked straight to Li Hong's desk and sat down, letting out a long sigh that conveyed his deep melancholy.
Curious, Li Hong asked, "Baldy... oh no, I mean boss, what's wrong?"
"Nothing much. I'm just here to tell you something," Supreme God waved his hand dismissively, indicating he was fine.
"What is it?"
Supreme God sighed again and said, "The company's business has been struggling lately. I'm afraid your job might not be secure."
Li Hong's expression changed in shock. Damn it! Was he really going to get fired?
"Is it me? Did I do something wrong?" Li Hong quickly asked.
This job was a rare opportunity for him to turn his life around, and seeing it slip away made him anxious.
The Supreme God spoke in a low, somber tone, explaining, "Our company, Main God Technology Co., Ltd., has recently encountered a life-or-death problem. If we can't resolve it in time, Main God Space may have to shut down. Without Main God Space, your position here would be unnecessary."
"So it's not that you haven't done well enough; it's that our company can't hold on any longer."
Hearing the gravity of the situation from the Supreme God only piqued Li Hong's curiosity further. He straightened up and pressed on, "What exactly is the problem? Is it cheating? A private server? Or a bug?"
"None of those. We are facing an unprecedented competitor," the Supreme God shook his head.
"Do you know about Nightmare Space?"
Li Hong shook his head in confusion. He was familiar with Main God Space, but he had never heard of Nightmare Space.
The Supreme God took a cigarette from the pack on Li Hong's desk, lit it, and said gloomily, "Nightmare Space is a newly emerged technology company called Infinite Flow. Their unique nightmare gameplay has attracted considerable attention from investors. Currently, Nightmare Space has completed its Series A funding and is about to launch a strong offensive against us at Main God Space."
"So, their goal is to replace Main God Space?" Li Hong speculated.
The Supreme God nodded, looking quite troubled. "Yes, their intentions are clear. But we have no way to counter this; the outdated Main God Space is gradually falling behind the times. As a result, no investors are optimistic about us, and we simply cannot compete with Nightmare Space."
"I see..."
Li Hong found the situation quite tricky. After all, even the Supreme God had no good solutions to the crisis brought about by Nightmare Space.
The Main God Space had been operational for many years now, and it was not an exaggeration to say it was outdated. However, this was closely tied to Li Hong's future. Even if he didn't have much faith in the Main God Space, he had to help the Supreme God resolve this issue.
"Is there any way to destroy Nightmare Space?" Li Hong asked.
The Supreme God shook his head and explained, "That's almost impossible. Their servers are superior to ours and nearly indestructible. The only way to eliminate Nightmare Space is to make it irrelevant."
"What would make it irrelevant?" Li Hong pressed eagerly.
This was a matter of his future; he couldn't afford to be calm about it.
Scratching his head in frustration, the Supreme God said, "That's the tricky part. We need to ensure that their players completely lose confidence in Nightmare Space."
"Then we should destroy their enjoyment of the game and make their gaming experience terrible. I refuse to believe that Nightmare Space won't collapse under those circumstances!" Li Hong said fiercely.
"Uh..."
The Supreme God seemed taken aback by Li Hong's fierce demeanor and then cautiously asked, "How do you plan to do that?"
"Can you send me into Nightmare Space?" Li Hong asked thoughtfully.
The Supreme God nodded. "No problem. It's not just you; even if a few more come along, I can manage."
"That should be basically feasible," Li Hong said with a snap of his fingers, smiling.
As long as he could infiltrate Nightmare Space, it didn't matter if it ended in failure; even if it collapsed, that would be fine.
"I think I understand what you want to do, but this is purely wishful thinking," Supreme God rejected Li Hong's proposal.
Li Hong was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Why? I guarantee that if you let me into Nightmare Space, I can definitely take him down."
"That's impossible. At most, you can only influence a few Reincarnators from Nightmare Space. There's no way to destroy Nightmare Space."
Li Hong was shocked; he hadn't considered this crucial point.
Since Nightmare Space could threaten Main God Space, the number of Reincarnators must be considerable. This meant that influencing a few Reincarnators' thoughts would be practically useless.
"I see. It looks like we need to think this through more carefully," Li Hong said gloomily.
Supreme God shook his head in frustration and explained, "It's too late; there's no time left. Every rise of Nightmare Space absorbs Active players from Main God Space. It won't be long before Main God Space turns into a ghost town."
Li Hong also felt a headache coming on and suggested, "Then how about this: you send us in first. We'll infiltrate the interior and try things out. I think it's better to attempt something than to do nothing at all."
Supreme God nodded. At this point, there was no better option. It was better to let Li Hong give it a try than to remain inactive.
"Alright then, I'll send you in right away."
Li Hong quickly stopped Supreme God’s actions and explained, “No, no, no, it’s not just me going in; I need to bring a few helpers. Otherwise, I can’t handle it alone. Many hands make light work; that’s no joke.”
With that, Li Hong picked up the internal phone on the desk and called Soulmate, Soul Sphere, and Soul Mix.
For matters like this, it was more reliable to involve the Soul Clan. If he brought along Lu Mao and Mark, those delicate boys, who knows who would end up causing trouble.
Soon, the three from Soulmate arrived at Li Hong’s office. When they saw Supreme God, they seemed a bit uneasy. Clearly, Li Hong had already informed them of Supreme God’s identity.
However, when Li Hong saw Loli Li Yuchen being led by Soulmate, he was completely stunned.
“I didn’t just ask you to come over; why did you bring Yuchen along?” Li Hong scolded Soulmate.
Soulmate explained with a hint of grievance, “Boss, it wasn’t my idea to bring her; she insisted on coming with me. I tried to tell her no, but she kept insisting on coming along. I had no choice.”
