Chapter 176: Reinforcement (Part 2)
Just getting a spot in the game was enough to make someone\'s stream numbers skyrocket.
Probably only <<God\'s Games Online>> could bring that kind of crazy growth.
"Now that I\'ve snagged a beta spot, I don\'t expect to reach the same level as Master PungPong, but I should be able to do pretty well, right?"
"With all this hype, I should at least be able to get a piece of the pie."
As for being the one sharing the pie, Master PungPong didn\'t actually mind.
Otherwise, he wouldn\'t have recommended Pork Rib Boss to start his own live streaming.
Now, thanks to <<God\'s Games Online>>, he had gained a lot of followers and was gradually becoming one of the top streamers in the platform\'s gaming section.
There was no way he\'d ban others from streaming just because of that.
On the contrary, the more people streamed, the more it promoted <<God\'s Games Online>>, which only brought him more viewers, not fewer.
A few minutes before the servers opened, several streamers had already announced their streaming plans, just waiting for the update to finish so they could go online.
Among them was Underwater Potato, a major content creator in the single-player gaming community with millions of followers.
He was chatting with his audience while waiting to log in.
The viewers had gathered early in his live streaming to watch, and even those who didn\'t know about <<God\'s Games Online>> became more curious after hearing about it.
Right on time, the servers opened, and Underwater Potato immediately entered the game.
Fans who had never seen such realistic game graphics before were blown away.
As they marveled at the visuals, they also noticed how crowded it was.
The starting area was packed with players—thousands of players trying to log in at once.

Even Father Barry couldn\'t handle it, since his priest wasn\'t an actual game NPC.
Hanjun decided to issue a quest, asking the experienced players to help the new ones get familiar with the environment.
Any further tasks would be explained and assigned by the system itself.
This move lightened his workload, and Hanjun nodded in satisfaction.
Then he overheard some players, who had already prepared their strategies, excitedly saying, "The most important thing in this game is gaining favorability. There\'s favorability with the Church of Light, NPCs, and most importantly, you need to max out the favorability with two key NPCs. By the way, Hanjun is the current Holy Son of the Church of Light.
He\'s living in a small house on the Eastern Plains right now. Let\'s go find him!"
Hanjun\'s face turned pale with horror.
Without saying a word, he decided to make a run for it!
Having to deal with so many players at the same time was going to be the death of him.
He was already starting to doubt whether giving out so many beta test spots was an overestimation of his own abilities.
The players, unable to find Hanjun, decided to focus on completing their leveling quests instead.
They knew why they, the ten thousand players, were there.
Soon, the demon army would arrive at Ulon Town, and that was the biggest crisis the town was facing.
They had been summoned to solve this problem.
If they didn\'t level up, the upcoming tasks would be very difficult to complete.
So, the players shifted their attention away from Hanjun and began frantically completing the quests to level up.
On the other side, the veteran players were pleased to see the newcomers picking up the game so quickly.
It gave them a sense of pride, like watching hardworking juniors.
However, besides explaining things to the new players, the veterans had another new task: enchanting weapons.
This was suggested by Jenlyns.
For the past few days, the players had been restocking Ulon Town\'s supplies.
They were mass-producing weapons, adding enchantments to them, and using an all-purpose farming machine to harvest crops non-stop.
These efforts significantly reduced their worries in those areas, easing some of the pressure.
But the most unsettling issue was the approaching demon army, which would reach Ulon Town in less than four days.
The long-standing threat was finally tightening around everyone in Ulon Town.
No one could be certain if they were truly ready to face the enemy.
In this tense atmosphere, Jenlyns finally managed to find Hanjun by issuing quests to the players.
He then asked Hanjun a crucial question.
"In this battle, as the Holy Son of the Church of Light, will you join the fight?"
Jenlyns couldn\'t understand Hanjun at all.
In his eyes, Hanjun was far more powerful than anyone he had ever met.
Yet, this powerful figure kept hiding behind the brave heroes, which puzzled Jenlyns greatly.
At a time like this, shouldn\'t everyone be showing their full strength?
Jenlyns didn\'t realize that if Hanjun took action, it would officially declare war on the God of Darkness.
It would no longer be just a battle with the demon army, but a full-blown conflict between the two creator gods.
The world would be plunged into their battle, and things would escalate far beyond what they were dealing with now.
The current situation is like two gods sending out their followers to fight.
If one side wins, it means their god\'s power has won.
Although there will be some damage, this is the best way to solve the problem right now.
However, Hanjun couldn\'t explain this clearly to Jenlyns because he hadn\'t planned on revealing his true identity yet.
Seeing that Hanjun remained silent, Jenlyns could only sigh and say, "Alright, I guess I can\'t count on your strength for now."
Hanjun narrowed his eyes and asked, "What, are the heroes summoned by the God of Light not enough?"
