Swallowing the Stars: Level 1, One Talent, Invincible Chaos Origin

Chapter 270, Explosive

Virtual game worlds within virtual worlds are not unfamiliar to any interstellar citizen.

However, the opening rewards for most game worlds are at most some in-game items, and the occasional reward of real-world currency is just a drop in the bucket.

Like Spark Game World, which spends money like crazy, it's the first game in history to do this.

Although many interstellar citizens were skeptical about the rewards in the Starfire Game World, the sheer amount of money attracted trillions of interstellar citizens to flood into the Starfire Game World in an instant.

Moreover, this number continues to grow, seemingly without end.

Besides the influx of citizens, a considerable number of people also noticed the promotional methods used by the Heartfire game world.

Tianqi Universe Kingdom, Imperial Capital Star.

"Did you find out? What's the background of 'Heartfire Game World'? Which big company launched it?"

An imposing old man sat on the throne in the main hall and asked a question to the group of people in black uniforms below.

"Your Majesty, without any clues..."

The vigorous elderly man leading the uniformed personnel spoke hesitantly.

"continue."

The dignified old man stared at the other person, urging them to continue.

"Although we haven't been able to identify which company it is, we found that 'Heartfire Game World' is being promoted simultaneously in 1008 universe countries. Such a level of promotion suggests it might be an internal project of Virtual Universe Company."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the dignified old man on the throne.

"Alright, that's enough. We don't need to investigate any further."

"Yes."

At this moment, a graceful woman with red hair stepped forward and spoke.

"Your Majesty, as of now, the number of daily active users of our 'Sky Game World' has decreased by 70 billion, and it continues to decline."

The company's stock price has now fallen to 670,000 Cosmic Coins per share, resulting in a direct loss of 11.6 billion Chaos Units.

Listening to the reports of the increasingly unfavorable situation, even the dignified old man felt a headache coming on.

As a powerful figure who made his fortune in virtual games in his early years, 'Sky Game World' was the culmination of his life's work. Through 'Sky Game World', he amassed a vast fortune, purchased numerous star domains, and became a highly influential figure in the region.

"Introduce more promotional activities to stabilize the rate of player attrition."

"That 'Heartfire Game World' is burning through money like crazy. Although its momentum is fierce, as long as we withstand this onslaught and wait until they run out of money, things will be fine."

The dignified old man gave the order.

"Yes."

"This Heartfire game world is really rich. It's being promoted simultaneously across 1008 universes. What a huge investment."

"Just hang in there. We can't afford to mess with big companies like this. Just hang in there until the money in our 'heart fire' runs out, and then it'll be fine."

Virtual game companies were impacted by 'Heartfire Game World'. Originally, there were only so many players who liked to play virtual games, but the emergence of a super game attracted countless players.

This naturally impacted the entire virtual gaming industry.

"Master, our 'Heartfire Game World' now has over 76 trillion registered players, that's so many players!"

Inside the main hall of Jiang Ming Manor, Jiang Ming sat in a chair, and Chi Yan jumped off his shoulder to report to him.

"76 trillion, this number is even more astonishing than I expected."

Jiang Ming was also taken aback by this number. He knew that the minimum requirement to become an interstellar citizen was the planetary level, and only a small portion of interstellar citizens played games.

76 trillion—that's a number that would suffocate any virtual game company. "Master, with such high rewards in our 'Heartfire Game World,' and the full-scale promotion from the Virtual Universe Company, many citizens who don't play virtual games will join in the fun and register to take a look."

I estimate the number of registered players could reach an incredible number.

"Red Flame said."

"Yes, most registered players are just looking for something new; only a minority are actually willing to play."

Jiang Ming nodded.

"But as long as I register and log in, it can also have some effect on me."

Although Jiang Ming cannot collect sins, emotions, or other spiritual materials through the virtual world, he can obtain the life templates of citizens to enrich his 'Heartfire Realm'.

The more complete the structure of the 'Heartfire Realm', the richer and more vibrant the creatures within it, and the greater the help and improvement it provides to Jiang Ming.

"However, Master, aren't you spending too much money?"

Chi Yan felt a pang of heartache as he watched the currency disappear like flowing water.

Every second was equivalent to the wealth of a 'Flame Abyss Star' flowing away, which made Chi Yan, who had followed Jiang Ming for many years and witnessed many grand scenes, feel heartache.

Back then, Chi Yan was the chief steward of the Chi Yan Continent, and she had to carefully manage every unit of wealth. Now, the massive amount of wealth that has disappeared like water is still too shocking for her.

“I have plenty of money; this amount of money means nothing to me.”

Jiang Ming smiled.

At his current level, the wealth he needs is beyond what can be bought with Chaos Units, so any more Chaos Units would be useless to him.

"Moreover, breakthroughs within the 'Heartfire Game World' are not so easy. The reason for the higher consumption now is that many powerful individuals have entered out of curiosity, which is why there is such a large consumption."

After this peak period, wealth consumption will decrease significantly.

Even in the virtual world, with the same basic template, the strong can still gain a huge advantage.

Many powerful individuals who have reached the universe level or domain lord level in reality only needed to familiarize themselves with Jiang Ming's 'Heartfire Game World' for a short while before breaking through to the second-tier life form and receiving rewards.

"Master, should we restrict those powerful individuals? The rate at which this wealth is being consumed is too fast."

"Crimson Flame asked."

"No need, I can afford to burn this much money. Besides, there are ways to make money in this game world. Even if there are no ways to make money, it doesn't matter."

Jiang Ming waved his hand dismissively.

He would love for as many players as possible, and for as many strong individuals as possible as possible.

“In the Heartfire Game World, cultivation cannot be done by cultivating the physical body; it can only be done by cultivating the spirit and will, and mental power. It can only be a contest of willpower.”

The stronger you are in real life, the greater your advantage will be in the Heartfire game world.

Jiang Ming smiled.

"In this Heartfire game world, only one in thousands of ordinary players who work hard and earnestly can become a second-tier life form."

"Moreover, with the help of Virtual Universe Company for promotion, even the most expensive promotional fees won't cost me a penny. You can manage it yourself, and you might even make some money."

Chi Yan nodded vigorously.

"Yes, Master. Virtual Universe Company didn't charge us any promotion fees, but we were able to collect advertising fees from other companies instead."

Chi Yan had already come up with countless ways to make money. With the huge traffic of 'Heartfire Game World', he could easily make money.
