"Interdimensional Game" was a hit! A massive hit!
Not just a small hit, but a huge one!
There's a saying—what sells best in art is emotion and violence!
With its previous fan base, "Interdimensional Game" ignited this selling point and broke through some barriers and then saw an explosive growth in reputation.
The official website's traffic surged, and so did the number of sign-ups.
If it were a normal server, it might have been overwhelmed by the influx of gentlemen.
But Zhong Shenxiu's high-tech official website welcomed all comers.
At that moment, he looked at the website data and couldn't help but smile, "Tens of millions of hits... hundreds of thousands signing up... and that's with no images, no proof, most people still in doubt..."
"I must stick with the adventure aspect, can't turn it into a romance series..."
With a bit of mischief, Zhong Shenxiu began updating the official website.
Specifically, he uploaded a few player videos.
Among them were aerial views of places like Beginner's Valley, Woniuzhai, and Three Elements City, as well as videos of players' daily lives.
There were also scenes of the initial group battles, Xie Biqi single-handedly taking down Zhang Aniu, leader of Woniuzhai, and later the Iron Hand Immortal dueling players, scenes chilly with Sword Qi.

"This game is going to explode!"
Jiang Shang, browsing the official website and watching the videos, sighed heavily.
He had always wanted to make a silent fortune, especially since "Interdimensional Game" was just a very niche game, with only three hundred players to date!
If they didn't focus on promoting it, it could easily be overlooked.
Then, those few players including him could take a massive advantage.
Unfortunately, reality didn't follow his dreams.
First, "Interdimensional Game" inexplicably blew up, and then the officials even released game videos!
Honestly, the clarity was such that it seemed like real people were filming a movie, with effects worth billions!
Just looking at the videos on the website, where sign-ups for the third trial surpassed a million, one could understand the magnitude of its impact.
If it weren't for the game development team's bias against non-players, preventing them from posting on the official forums, those forums would probably have crashed from the traffic.
Even so, he heard from the admins of other niche game forums, like "Merciful Mother Stays Midline," complain about the influx of visitors crashing their forums and people paying high prices to buy gaming equipment everywhere.
But game equipment gets bound upon use—where could one possibly find first or second trial gear now?
"What will the future of this game be?"
With a tinge of melancholy, Jiang Shang logged into the game.
Suddenly, everything brightened before his eyes, and he was amazed.
Everything he saw became clearer, as if a nearsighted person had put on glasses; this part of the world suddenly became utterly real, no different from another world.
"Frick, frick frick! Such a huge patch, and the officials just updated it like that?"
Beside him, 'Chen Tianxin' looked around and climbed to a higher spot, "It used to feel a bit like playing a game, but now, it feels like real people time traveling!"
The previous "Interdimensional Game," though claiming to be 100% realistic, still had a slight visual blurring effect, so players could somewhat tell the game from reality.
But now, after this patch, the world was real!
"Frick quitting the game! I'd rather die than quit!"
'Xiao Ye Wanling' curiously looked around the Beginner's Village like a newborn baby.
The clarity was phenomenal!
Who knows how much computational power and physical engine capability it consumed...
"It's gotten more real... If we stay here long enough, many people might start getting delusions that this is the real world, right?"
Xie Biqi was also in the Beginner's Valley, looking around at everything and the cheering players, thoughtful.
"Er Ha, you're amazing!"
Though 'Lingling is a Foodie' hadn't witnessed Er Ha repelling Tu Qianqiu, other players had seen him, talked about it offline, and posted on forums.
She brought a big bag of dog biscuits to Er Ha, "This is... our way of saying thanks for protecting the Beginner's Valley!"
This she said sincerely; otherwise, the players would have been completely blocked from playing by the control of the spawning point.
Er Ha's face, usually full of dignity, instantly struggled upon seeing the dog biscuits, seeming to want to dive in and enjoy a feast.
But then he forcibly resisted the urge and handed 'Lingling is a Foodie' a brick-moving task instead.
The Beginner's Valley needed to be rebuilt again.
But it wasn't a big deal—this area is commonly destroyed and rebuilt, the players are used to it...
But Jiang Shang didn't go to get the task, instead, he walked over to join 'Seeking Immortal,' Huang Tianyao, the Immortal Sect leader: "Although Er Ha repelled Tu Qianqiu, the Tianyuan Sect might not let it go. Tu Qianqiu was only a Fourth Grade Martial Artist, while the Tianyuan Sect Master is a legendary Upper Third Grade powerhouse!"
An Upper Third Grade, also known as Upper Triad Martial Artist—so secretive that even their names are kept secret, only legends of them breaking mountains with a punch or splitting rivers with a palm circulate in Jianghu.
Jiang Shang was initially skeptical, but after seeing how powerful a Fourth Grade Martial Artist was, he started to believe.
"No worries, we have Er Ha!"
Huang Tianyao stared at a piece of dog's tail grass on the ground astounded, as if expecting it to bloom.
This ultra-clear experience was truly addictive.
"Er Ha won't protect us..."
Jiang Shang said with a bitter smile, "He didn't even protect the Beginner's Valley and respawn point, I think if it weren't for the development team fixing a bug,he wouldn't have moved at all, letting the Red-Ear Army take over the Beginner's Valley..."
"What can we do then?"
Huang Tianyao spread his hands, "We can't overturn the Tianyuan Sect..."
"Here, I do have some tips on how to quickly gain experience..." Jiang Shang grimaced but still shared, "Three Elements City is located at the edge of Cangyuan County. If you go in the opposite direction, it's Dingzhou, which is brimming with opportunities to gain experience... We should first level up, then settle accounts with the Tianyuan Sect!"
"What a pity, they've cut our respawn feature, really annoying..."
Huang Tianyao sighed, "I heard special missions would offer it, but I've been playing till now, haven't seen a single one... By the way, Baotou, do you think the game's death penalty is additive or multiplicative, the official site doesn't clarify?"
"Wait till players die three times, then they'll know."
Jiang Shang said, "But based on the development team's usual disregard for players, I wouldn't rule out the multiplicative possibility, that would be terrifying..."
"Die a few more times, equivalent to being banned from the game?"
Huang Tianyao widened his eyes, "The development team is really not being human... No, I need to value every single life, look for more special missions..."
This game is too fascinating and might contain secrets beyond the ordinary; he really didn't want to quit!
