Jiang Qiao woke up from his creator state, and the familiar living room was still in front of him. However, the food that Hai Lan was eating had changed from strawberries to cucumbers.
"..." Jiang Qiao looked at the girl gnawing on a cucumber like a prairie dog, opened his mouth but still couldn't say anything.
Hai Lan, this creator who had not been on Blue Star for long, naturally wanted to try the local specialties of Blue Star.
"I've already made the modifications. In the spirit descent state, players cannot harm anything on Blue Star. Additionally, there is a determination system. When they have the thought of rescuing someone, they will be able to interact with real-world objects for a short time. Simply put, there is no friendly fire. The rest we just wait for nine days until the invasion from that dimension arrives."
Jiang Qiao looked at his phone interface again. The spirit descent option had already turned gray. Players can only activate this function when an Abyss Rift appears.
"Do you have any plans for this world next?" Hai Lan finished eating her cucumber and burped without any ladylike demeanor before asking, "Should we first inform the world's nations about the invasion?"
Jiang Qiao's gaze shifted to the television in the living room. Hai Lan had already skillfully turned on the TV, which was broadcasting the news.
"How to inform them? Say that the end of the world is coming and if you're a brother, come play Holy Spirit? I'm afraid someone will show up at my door to chop me down."
Jiang Qiao temporarily didn't have this plan, even though some of his family members worked in the government. He knew that telling them this kind of thing would only lead to one possible outcome.
First, being taken to a psychiatric hospital for an evaluation, then, after nine days when the invasion arrives, being invited for a tea session.
Jiang Qiao had ways to make those in power believe him, but...
"We can't be too hasty. If we rush, many things will deteriorate." Jiang Qiao said.
"Deteriorate? The world I create has an infinite shelf life! Unless..." Hai Lan trailed off suddenly.
"Unless it explodes again?"
Jiang Qiao mercilessly jabbed at this failed creator goddess. This time, it was Hai Lan's turn to open her mouth not knowing how to respond. Frustrated, she picked up another cucumber and started gnawing on it again.
"This game will change the way of life for everyone in this world." Jiang Qiao stopped tormenting Hai Lan and began discussing future plans, "The ability to summon the game world into reality means that everyone will play this game and want to make their game characters powerful."
"Isn't that great? This planet has four billion people! All of them becoming our warriors, what dimension on the star map can't we conquer?" Hai Lan's cheeks puffed out, not realizing that talking while eating is a bad habit.
"Indeed, so everything has to be done gradually."
Jiang Qiao felt helpless too. Currently, the server limit could only support a thousand players. To expand the server capacity, they had to devour other worlds.
But Jiang Qiao believed that in the future it would eventually expand to an 'open beta', a time when there was no need to limit the number of players logging in.
"Also, even if something happens midway, I still have a last resort, making the participants have a small dream during the first dimension invasion."
Jiang Qiao shared his method that he could implement under the creator mode.
"This... will consume a lot of energy." Hai Lan, of course, understood what the so-called dream entailed; it was making the participants believe that everything happened only in the game.
"It's okay." Jiang Qiao said, "The rest is about my personal plans."
"I'm listening." Hai Lan continued to listen to Jiang Qiao's plans.
"This is only necessary when there are fewer players at the early stages. When there are more players, it won't be needed. I can create a sub-world or something to serve as the battlefield. For the current stage, the priority is to make money quietly." Jiang Qiao said.
"Sub-world? I feel like I understand a bit, but as long as you don't reveal your identity, I'm fine with it."
Hai Lan absolutely did not support Jiang Qiao exposing himself as the creator. She didn't trust any human in this world, except for Jiang Qiao, whose soul was bound to hers.
Initially, Hai Lan was somewhat disgusted by Jiang Qiao, but after being disciplined thoroughly by him in creator mode, she decided to coexist harmoniously with her host.
"What about you? Do you have any plans for the future?" Jiang Qiao looked at the goddess who never seemed to stop munching.
"Me?" Hai Lan fiercely took a bite of the carrot in her hand and then said, "I'm going to eat all the surrounding worlds!"
"Surrounding worlds? Isn't there only one dimension invading Blue Star?" Jiang Qiao looked at the news on the TV, "The end of the world is really coming, fortunately, the heroes have arrived too."
