On the morning of the first day of the lunar new year, Xie Yunfan got out of bed, brushed his teeth, and opened his phone to casually scan Weibo. Unexpectedly, he saw that the Super Topic (Superhua) for #UnderworldMaze# was ranked first in the popular gaming Super Topics section!

It’s the New Year. What are netizens discussing that the popularity is so high?

Curious, Xie Yunfan clicked into the topic to take a look.

The top post in the hot discussion area was from “Brother Liu,” a streamer on the Blue Fish platform. It consisted of a few simple sentences accompanied by two pictures: “Received the New Year limited outfits gifted by @YangfanStudio. One male set, one female set, both look so good! Free of charge, what an honest conscience! [Heart]”

Brother Liu was among the first batch of streamers to play Underworld Maze and had relatively high visibility. This Weibo post had hundreds of thousands of likes, and many players left comments praising Yangfan Studio, stating that they too had received the gift package.

Xie Yunfan’s move to “give away New Year limited outfits for free” had indeed greatly boosted goodwill. Yangfan Studio’s official Weibo account gained hundreds of thousands of followers overnight.

The second trending post was from the bigwig who had previously recommended Underworld Maze, “Purple Cauliflower,” a well-known verified gaming blogger. He had finally cleared Nightmare Mode.

The bigwig had written a rambling, thousand-word “Reflections on Clearing Underworld Maze.”

“Finally cleared Nightmare Mode. I have to ruthlessly praise @YangfanStudio. The gameplay design is extremely rich and incredibly innovative!

The item system is intricately interlocked. For example, the tongue obtained in the Hell of Tongue-Ripping can be used in the Hell of Pounding to eat the grains; the ice blocks obtained in the Hell of Ice can be used to dodge the raging flames in the Hell of the Volcano; the rocks from the Hell of Crushing under Rocks can block flying knives in the Hell of Dismemberment… There are many other items, all with high playability, requiring some mechanical skill. I recommend everyone to use their own hands and brains.

What I loved the most, however, was the design of the Underworld NPCs.

Among the Four Great Judges, Wei Zheng of the Reward for Good Division is the friendliest to players. He gives out gifts every time, and the various function cards he provides are super useful.

Zhong Kui of the Punishment for Evil Division is exceptionally fierce. He turns players into oxen or horses and drags them to prison. If you encounter him, you must hide! Otherwise, he’ll make you sit in jail for a day (don’t ask me how I know).

Lu Zhidao of the Investigation Division is a super interesting NPC. Players can go to him to redress grievances. After meeting him, tell him about your grievances, and he’ll clear your name, directly giving you an ‘invincibility buff.’ For the next half hour, you can walk sideways through the Underworld—it feels amazing!

Cui Jue of the Underworld Law Division is also very fun. Holding the Book of Life and Death, he calculates your ‘mortal lifespan’ like balancing accounts. If he calculates that your lifespan is up, he’ll knock you back to the previous level to start over. If he calculates you still have time left, he’ll go easy on you and send you straight to the next level.

This NPC purely relies on luck. For those with bad luck, I suggest consciously avoiding him… For those confident in their luck, go find him and get your fortune read. Maybe you’ll skip directly to the next level?

Then there’s the universally hated Meng Po. As everyone knows, above the 10th level, Meng Po forcefully resets your progress. But I never expected to encounter Meng Po on the 18th level!

My heart went cold at that moment. I thought the designer was going to reset my progress again, which would have been too disgusting…

But facts proved that I underestimated the designer’s imagination.

Using the same design repeatedly is actually quite boring, and a forced reset on the 18th level would be too bullying to the players; I would have wanted to quit the game. Fortunately, the designer didn’t do that. The 18th level, the Hell of Saws, is a chain teleportation array with Meng Po as the nodes.

We have to dodge the constantly moving saws on the walls while encountering numerous phantoms of Meng Po. Drinking Meng Po’s soup makes you forget your path during this time, returning you to the last time you drank the soup. Everyone, use this rule: when you enter the 18th level, drink a bowl of soup first to save your progress, then find all the Meng Po phantoms, teleporting back and forth between save points to unlock the entire maze.

You must find all the Meng Po phantoms. Only at the end will you meet the real Meng Po, as well as King Yama, who judges life and death, and the Four Great Judges beside him.

King Yama is the final boss of the Underworld. This is a very difficult boss fight. I recommend hoarding the [Nether Ghost Fire] items picked up on the 18th level. Repeatedly farm your save points until you’ve collected enough.

When you beat King Yama down to 50% HP, he judges you to live, and you can leave the Underworld and be reborn!

I have to say, the designer’s narrative twist was brilliant.

At first, I hated Meng Po. I thought it was the designer deliberately trying to disgust the players. But the moment I cleared the game, I realized that the purpose of Meng Po’s existence is to make the souls of the deceased forget the love, hate, gratitude, and grudges of their past lives, wiping away all memories as they leave the Underworld, so they can attain a brand new life.

Meng Po says: Grudges and favors, there is nothing that cannot be let go. Cherishing a new life is more important.

You die, and Black and White Impermanence bring you to the Underworld to experience the 18 levels of terrifying hells. In the end, Meng Po makes you forget everything, sending you off happily to obtain a new life.

The beginning echoes the end. A perfect gaming experience that leaves you wanting more!

I’m starting my third playthrough (New Game++). My goal this time is to collect all the treasure chests and Easter eggs.

By the way, Underworld Maze has been giving out New Year gift packages these past few days, completely free. Why haven’t you downloaded it yet? After the seventh day of the New Year, you won’t be able to claim the limited outfits anymore.

With such good after-sales service for a single-player game, hurry up and download it for me!”

Reading this bigwig’s recommendation, Xie Yunfan couldn’t help but feel moved—Thank you, bro. I really didn’t give you a single dime, but you make it seem like you’re a professional internet shill I hired.

Praising it from beginning to end, this stream of flattery made Xie Yunfan feel a bit embarrassed.

When he initially created the designs, he just wanted to use rich, interesting gameplay to let players meet these Underworld NPCs and understand the lore of the Eighteen Levels of Hell.

Meng Po’s forced resets above the 10th level were indeed intentionally designed to torment players.

But if players could make it to the 10th level, they definitely loved the game very much. If there were forced resets in the second half, it would be going too far and make players despise it.

Using the same trick twice was about enough. His original intention was never to make players hate Meng Po. The teleportation array on the 18th level was designed by Xie Yunfan to change players’ perspectives on Meng Po. After all, Meng Po was actually a very kind person.

Riding this wave of popularity, Xie Yunfan immediately opened his computer and began editing the lore materials.

Yangfan Studio: “Today, we continue to present the lore of the Underworld NPC ‘Meng Po’ to help everyone gain a deeper understanding of the Underworld’s backstory. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!

Meng Po was originally an unassigned official in the ‘Heavenly Realm.’ Later, she saw that people would entangle themselves, suffer, and laugh over various favors and grudges, refusing to let go even in death. So, she came to the banks of the River of Forgetfulness in the Underworld, refining human loves, hates, sorrows, joys, and various emotions into a cauldron of Meng Po Soup. She lets the deceased souls drink it, forgetting all grudges and entering the next cycle of reincarnation without any attachments.

Meng Po’s Quote: The favors and grudges of the past life have all been severed. The good and evil of this life depend solely on the thoughts of the heart.

Note: The Heavenly Realm, located in the sky beyond the highest heavens, is the dwelling place of gods and immortals. Legend has it that the entire world is divided into the Heavenly Realm, the Human Realm, and the Ghost Realm. The location of the Underworld is the Ghost Realm.”

…

Actually, regarding the origins of Meng Po, there were two folktales.

One was the version he wrote, and the other stated that Meng Po was Meng Jiangnu, who cried down the Great Wall. She went to the Great Wall to cry for her husband, saw the massive number of corpses at the foot of the wall, and felt extreme agony. After dying, in order to forget these painful memories, she developed Meng Po Soup.

The “Meng Jiangnu” version of Meng Po was a young, beautiful woman. Furthermore, to clearly explain the story of “crying down the Great Wall,” he would have to introduce Qin Shi Huang and other historical facts, which would be difficult for players of this alternate world to understand.

Therefore, he chose the Heavenly Realm unassigned official version of the legend, introducing the key concept of the “Heavenly Realm.”

The Heavenly Realm and the Underworld were inseparable. For example, in Journey to the West, Sun Wukong traveled to heaven and earth, visiting the Heavenly Realm and frequently dropping by the Underworld. When making games related to the Heavenly Court and immortals in the future, he could collaborate with the NPCs of the Underworld.

Having made up his mind, Xie Yunfan finished editing the materials and hit send.

As soon as the lore dropped, it was rapidly and enthusiastically shared by players.

“Meng Po is a good person! Feeding you Meng Po Soup so you can forget your pain, isn’t that nice?”

“Every time I see her, I chant in my head: Don’t come over here!“

“I have psychological trauma regarding Meng Po. Just seeing the lantern on her cane makes my hands shake~”

“Gods of the Heavenly Realm? Sounds very interesting!”

“The Underworld is underground, and the Heavenly Realm is in the sky? Does that mean we humans are the most lowly? T_T”

“What is this Heavenly Realm thing? Don’t tell me you’re starting a franchise IP!”

Xie Yunfan replied to this last comment: “Please look forward to future games ^^”

Players: “!!”

Little Sailboat is too badass, he’s actually going to make a game series?

So, everyone didn’t have to worry about Yangfan Studio going bankrupt; they would continue making fun games for everyone to play. Could the NPCs from the Underworld appear in the next game for a crossover?

That was too highly anticipated!

Xie Yunfan’s reply was eagerly retweeted by players.

“Keep it up, Little Sailboat! Looking forward to seeing the Heavenly Realm you mentioned one day!”

“The next game, make a Heavenly Realm for me immediately! I really don’t want to play a horror Underworld anymore.”

“Little Sailboat, if you go bankrupt, just say the word and we’ll crowdfund for you~”

At the same time, at the villa in the Imperial Capital, Tang Yi, who had played through the night, had finally cleared Underworld Maze on Nightmare mode.

With complex emotions, he logged onto Weibo and posted an organic, voluntary recommendation: “A while ago, friends in the livestream intentionally set me up, recommending I play Underworld Maze. I went and played it, and I’ve already cleared it. I’m now sincerely recommending it to everyone. It’s genuinely quite fun. Not a troll, it’s really fun! The mechanism designs are super interesting, and the moment you clear it gives you the same sense of accomplishment as winning a match!”

A single-player game recommended by God T?

Many retired players, streamers, and coaches in the esports circle developed an interest in this game.

Heard they were also giving away New Year limited gift boxes for free recently?

Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and download it!

During the Spring Festival holiday, homebody gaming fans formed a massive “organic water army” (word-of-mouth promoters), recommending it to each other. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, gaming social circles were almost completely flooded with “Underworld Maze.”

The download numbers in Mobile Game Hub’s backend surged madly once again.

On the night of the first day of the New Year, the download count directly broke through the 5 million mark!

Five million. This was the threshold dividing “major hit games” and “minor hit games.” In the entire history of China, the number of single-player games with over 5 million downloads could be counted on one’s fingers.

Yet Underworld Maze, a game from a new studio, had actually achieved it.

From a pitiful 200 downloads on its launch day to 5 million downloads today, Little Underworld was like riding a rocket, ascending so fast that it couldn’t be stopped.

Fang Jiming, the operations director of Wings of Dream, was bored at home for the New Year scrolling through Mobile Game Hub. Looking at Underworld Maze‘s rapidly rising numbers, he felt such intense regret!

Who was blind enough back then to say a 2 million buyout was appropriate?

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have done that!

He regretted it to death.

Xie Yunfan made a fortune, and Yangfan Studio’s reputation was outstandingly good. The next time “Yangfan Studio” was mentioned, players wouldn’t be completely clueless about it; this was a very good start.

For his next game, no matter what he made, he had this accumulated group of “casual fans” who would always take a look at his new game. If it was good, they would naturally help promote it.

Underworld Maze had been launched for over half a month. Last week, Xie Yunfan had specifically checked the backend, and only a meager few tens of thousands of people had rated it. This week, following the positive reviews from the first batch of “game clearers,” the number of people rating it had exceeded 500,000, and most players gave it a high score above 8.5.

If Underworld Maze could climb onto Mobile Game Hub’s “High Score List,” then this game would become a classic masterpiece of word-of-mouth reputation, recorded forever on the list like an evergreen tree.

Xie Yunfan believed that day would arrive very soon.

However, as players cleared the game and the maze’s gameplay was fully excavated, the game’s popularity would gradually decline. This was the unavoidable fate of all single-player games.

The next step was the holographic version, which was about to meet everyone.

He had to hurry up and ideally finish the holographic version within three months.

Making a holographic version wasn’t just a direct copy of the mobile game; it definitely required many changes to adapt to the holographic market. The overlap between holographic players and mobile gamers wasn’t high. This was a very important chess piece for Qihang Games, and similarly, it was a crucial first step that Xie Yunfan valued highly.

In the holographic gaming sector, he would let “Little Sailboat” assert its presence to pave the way for the future.

Thinking of this, Xie Yunfan went downstairs to find Xie Xinghe: “Brother, Qihang invited us to visit their company in the Imperial Capital on the 7th. If we’re discussing contract details, it would be better to bring a lawyer, right?”

In project contracts, the change of one or two words could become a massive trap. Therefore, the contract absolutely needed to be reviewed by a legal professional. Although Qihang seemed very sincere, Xie Yunfan still needed to keep his guard up.

Xie Xinghe agreed: “That’s right, let’s bring a lawyer to help us review the contract. Let me think… How about we invite Lawyer Zou to come with us? He’s very familiar with Dad. The will and inheritance left by our parents were all handled by him. I think he’s very professional.”

Xie Yunfan had an impression of this Lawyer Zou and said, “Brother, you contact him then. In the future, for drafting HR contracts and various business collaborations for Yangfan Studio, we’ll let him review them. How about we hire him as a legal consultant?”

Xie Xinghe said: “No problem, I’ll call him right now.”

[Two-in-One: First Meeting]

The seventh day of the lunar new year arrived quickly. Xie Yunfan and Xie Xinghe arrived at the airport on time early in the morning. A moment later, a middle-aged man carrying a briefcase walked over briskly.

Xie Xinghe proactively reached out his hand and said, “Lawyer Zou, long time no see.”

Zou Zhicheng looked at the two brothers with a complex expression. Back when Chairman Xie passed away, the procedures for inheritance and property transfers were all handled by him for the two brothers. Later, when the Xingyun Group went bankrupt, he had thought the Xie family would never rise again, feeling regretful that Chairman Xie’s two sons had absolutely no business acumen…

He never expected that the younger son had actually established a new studio. He heard he had made a lot of money and produced a smash hit game, which truly surprised him.

How did the playboy who only drank and fought suddenly become sensible? He looked at Xie Yunfan with confusion.

He just felt that after not seeing him for a while, Xie Yunfan’s entire aura had changed. A clean, refreshing, handsome young man, with no reek of alcohol, and dressed very normally. He almost didn’t dare to recognize him.

Meeting his probing gaze, Xie Yunfan smiled and said, “Lawyer Zou, thank you for your help. We’ll be relying on you to look over the contract for this trip to the Imperial Capital.”

Very polite, completely unlike the frivolous appearance in his memory.

Zou Zhicheng withdrew his gaze and said, “You’re welcome. I’ve known your father for so many years. I’m very happy for you two brothers being able to pull yourselves together and start anew. If you have any legal issues in the future, you can contact me anytime.”

The three exchanged a few pleasantries and boarded the plane together.

Two hours later, at the Imperial Capital Airport.

The plane arrived on time. The three of them collected their luggage, and as soon as they walked out of the corridor, they saw a long-haired woman with outstanding temperament in the crowd, holding a sign that read “Xie Yunfan,” waiting for someone. Standing beside her was a tall man wearing sunglasses; it was unclear if they were together.

Qihang would be sending someone to pick him up today; Xie Yunfan had already received the notification. He walked towards the woman and said politely, “Hello, I am Xie Yunfan.”

The woman immediately put down the sign and smiled as she extended her hand: “Hello Mr. Xie, I am Nie Xiaozhou, Manager of the PR Department at Qihang. Welcome to the Imperial Capital. Let me introduce you, this is our CEO, Mr. Luo.”

Xie Yunfan followed her gaze.

The man was tall and straight, visually over 186 cm. He took off his sunglasses, revealing a face with clear-cut contours. Described in game design terms—it was truly a “3D modeled face” with no bad angles. Especially his high nose bridge, which looked like it was sculpted in a game.

He hadn’t expected the boss of Qihang Games to be such a handsome guy. Xie Yunfan calmly reached out his hand and said, “President Luo, for you to come pick us up personally, I am truly flattered.”

Luo Hang also hadn’t expected the designer of Underworld Maze to be so young and cheerful. He reached out and shook Xie Yunfan’s hand, saying graciously, “To receive an honored guest, it’s only right that I come personally.”

Xie Yunfan withdrew his hand and introduced, “This is my brother, and this is our studio’s legal consultant, Lawyer Zou.”

Xie Xinghe extended his hand: “Hello, President Luo.”

Luo Hang politely greeted them: “Welcome.”

He proactively helped Xie Yunfan lift his luggage and said, “You must be tired from the journey. Let’s get in the car first. I’ve arranged lunch. After we eat, we’ll visit the company in the afternoon.”

“Alright, thank you, President Luo.”

The car drove to a famous restaurant in the Imperial Capital.

The restaurant was luxuriously decorated, and the dishes were extremely exquisite. At first glance, it was clearly a place for entertaining VIPs. President Luo was truly generous; it seemed he cherished this cooperation opportunity very much.

After everyone had lunch, they headed to the Qihang Games headquarters at 2:30 PM.

Although Qihang hadn’t been as wealthy as Wings of Dream or Cool Play over the past two years, they were still a well-known large company. Back in the day, their first holographic game, Starry Sky Walk, had swept the globe.

The company’s strength was unquestionable. They had an independent office building in the Imperial Capital, with the four eye-catching characters “Qihang Games” and their iconic planetary logo on the roof.

After entering the building, Xie Yunfan was surprised by the decor.

This… was practically like a space agency.

Various sensor-activated sliding doors, starry sky ceilings, patrol robots, iris-recognition password locks. Even the elevators were designed with a futuristic sci-fi feel; riding the elevator felt like a starship lifting off. This Qihang building could practically be used to shoot a sci-fi movie straight away.

Xie Yunfan praised: “Your company’s interior design is truly special.”

Manager Nie proactively introduced: “This was designed by President Luo. President Luo actually graduated with a degree in astronomy.”

Surprised, Xie Yunfan turned back to look at Luo Hang: “Astronomy? It seems you integrated the knowledge you learned into the game Starry Sky Walk?”

Luo Hang smiled slightly: “Yes. I love the universe and astronomy. I hoped that ordinary people could also use holographic gaming cabins to go look at the mysterious depths of space, which is why I made this game.”

No wonder this game caused a sensation upon release and won countless international awards. The lead designer had genuine talent and learning.

However, Luo Hang had only made this one smash hit game.

He wasn’t inherently a designer with boundless imagination; he leaned more towards the “realist school.” His game design style was relatively rigorous, and Starry Sky Walk had drawn on massive amounts of physics and astronomy data.

But if that were the case, his thinking would be restricted, and he wouldn’t be good at other types of games. This was also the key reason why the Qihang Group hadn’t been able to produce a second major hit in years.

Just as Xie Yunfan was thinking this, the elevator suddenly stopped.

“10th Floor, The Apron, arriving.”

The floor names were bizarre. “Space Station,” “The Apron”… A first-time visitor truly wouldn’t know what these places were for.

The romantic sentiment of a science student. Xie Yunfan expressed his respect.

“Everyone, this way please.” Manager Nie led them out of the elevator.

“The Apron” was actually the gaming cabin experience area. Within the expansive space of several hundred square meters, an entire floor of gaming cabins was neatly arranged, looking incredibly spectacular.

When Brother Xie saw the hundreds of gaming cabins, his eyes lit up.

This was countless times better than the piece of junk he had thrown hundreds of millions into researching. The exterior colors and chassis lines were exceptionally beautifully designed.

Qihang Games’ aesthetic had always been online. The gaming cabin was designed to be simple and elegant. A silver base color matched with deep blue lines and simple planetary embellishments gave the entire cabin a full sense of futuristic tech.

It was also Xie Yunfan’s first time stepping into a “Qihang Gaming Experience Center.” It felt just like the first time he went to an internet cafe in his past life when he didn’t have a computer at home.

It was truly an eye-opener.

In that era, computers in internet cafes were quite small. But today’s holographic gaming cabins—just one was comparable to a small boat. If your home wasn’t big enough, it really couldn’t fit.

No wonder holographic games were called “toys for the rich” and still couldn’t achieve comprehensive popularization to this day.

Given the price and size, ordinary families would find it hard to afford, right? Therefore, holographic game experience centers were as popular as the “internet cafes” of the old era.

Luo Hang walked up to one of the gaming cabins and introduced: “This row of gaming cabins is this year’s new product. Our R&D team hired many engineers who develop smart home appliances and cars. The quality of our gaming cabins is absolutely top-tier globally.”

Xie Xinghe reached out and gently touched the smooth body of the silver gaming cabin, saying with a complex mood: “I know this. Qihang gaming cabins have the lowest after-sales repair rate. With tens of millions sold domestically, rumor has it there has never been a hardware failure?”

Luo Hang said confidently: “Yes. Our factories use fully automated production. Every part fits tightly together, practically achieving zero error. There will be no issues regarding quality.”

Xie Yunfan asked: “Can I try it out?”

Luo Hang smoothly turned on one of the gaming cabins: “Of course. You three can play as you like.”

Xie Yunfan lay inside.

The blue lighting effect upon booting up was very beautiful. A holographic screen appeared before his eyes showing game options. Currently, he could only select Starry Sky Walk. After selecting it, accompanied by soft music, Xie Yunfan felt as if he had boarded a miniature starship, floating in the boundless universe.

The Gemini star region, the Leonid meteor shower, the Rosette Nebula… The vast cosmic landscape left Xie Yunfan incredibly awestruck.

He could roam freely in the universe and explore different planets.

The planets and nebulas were based on existing astronomical knowledge, but the adventure gameplay on different planets had a richer “gaming” aspect.

For example, you would encounter alien monsters in the Scorpio star region and had to defeat them with the weapons in your hands before you could leave.

In a certain mysterious patch of starry sky, you would hear the gentle singing of alien creatures. Or, in the ocean of a certain planet, you would discover legendary mermaids…

No wonder Qihang could live off this single game, Starry Sky Walk, for three years.

This game was truly amazing. A magnificent universe full of romantic fantasy with a unique style. Just the planetary exploration gameplay alone could keep players engaged for a long time.

This exhilarating “immersive” experience of a holographic game was something mobile games and PC games could never achieve. The advent of holographic gaming cabins was definitely a gift to humanity from technological advancement.

The moment Xie Yunfan exited the gaming cabin, a pressing thought suddenly arose deep within him.

Actually, there were many creative ideas that could be made into holographic games.

For example, a hot-blooded Jianghu (martial arts world) of clashing swords and sabers, where players could learn various cool martial arts; or a cultivation game, personally experiencing how to fly on a sword; and base-building games—if various exquisite ancient architectural styles could be presented in a holographic game, what an astonishing sight that would be!

Too many ideas surged in his mind.

The first step was to start with the holographic version of Underworld Maze.

Xie Yunfan looked at Luo Hang and said: “President Luo, for this visit, besides touring the company, the more important thing is the contract details. You guys draft a contract first, and my lawyer and I will go over it carefully. We can discuss any parts that need changes together, alright?”

It seemed that after touring the company, Xie Yunfan’s confidence in the partnership had indeed been strengthened. Luo Hang had always been confident in Qihang’s strength.

Meeting Xie Yunfan’s expectant gaze, Luo Hang smiled slightly and said: “Alright. Tomorrow I’ll bring the company’s legal team to discuss it in detail with you. By the way, we need to rush the development progress of Underworld Maze this time. I hope to launch it synchronously worldwide before the summer vacation arrives.”

Xie Yunfan froze: “Synchronously worldwide?”

Luo Hang: “Yes. Over the past two years, Qihang Games has been paving the way in overseas markets. We’ve currently established gaming cabin experience centers in many cities across Europe, America, Japan, Korea, and other countries. As long as we synchronize the data globally, Underworld Maze can meet players all over the world simultaneously.”

Xie Yunfan’s eyes suddenly lit up. He had previously thought about how great it would be if Little Underworld could go global, letting foreign players also know about China’s legends regarding the Underworld.

He hadn’t expected such a massive surprise from collaborating with Qihang.

Qihang wasn’t at the end of their wits, unable to make games, as the outside rumors claimed. President Luo was playing a very big game of chess. While Wings of Dream and Cool Play were fiercely competing in the domestic rat race… he had gone to compete overseas first.

By pioneering the overseas market first, any games Qihang produced in the future could be launched simultaneously worldwide.

Xie Yunfan was very much looking forward to the reactions of his foreign friends when they saw the 18 Levels of Hell.

Would they scream in terror?
