nThe next morning, when the sky had just brightened, the Internet was already in an uproar because of something.

nNaturally, it was because Ready Player One was about to be officially released this afternoon.

nIt could be said that hundreds of millions of players around the world were paying attention to the matter.

nMoreover, ever since everyone knew there was a game called “Ready Player One,” everyone had been looking forward to the game’s official release for more than a month so that everyone could officially play the game.

nOf course, there was another very important reason why the players were so anxious.

nEver since Su Ping released The Matrix 3, which ended The Matrix series, Su Ping hadn’t released any new games!

nUp until today, nearly two months had passed!

nIt was the first time Su Ping hadn’t updated any games for such a long time.

nThe players weren’t used to it either. They were used to Su Ping releasing a new game every ten days to half a month.

nIt was why Su Ping’s fans always thought they were the happiest players in the world.

nNo matter how many Su Ping games they played, the speed at which they played games would be slower than the speed at which Su Ping released new games.

nNo matter when, there would always be the latest and most fun games waiting for everyone to try.

nHowever, things had changed this time. Su Ping didn’t release new games in time like he did in the past. Many people didn’t know what to do after playing the games Su Ping had released.

nMost of these players had already been influenced by Su Ping’s game.

nAt this time, if they were to play ordinary games with low quality and unsatisfactory operations, no one would be able to continue playing!

nIt was under such circumstances that many players were so anxious to see Su Ping release a new game.

nAs for Ready Player One, this kind of game had a long production time and was very well-made in the trailer, so people naturally had high expectations.

nReady Player One is finally going to be officially released! Why isn’t it released immediately after I wake up in the morning? Why did we have to wait until 2 p.m.?

nThis is the first time I’ve experienced the feeling of passing a day like a year. No, every minute and every second now feels as long as a year to me!

nAah! Can the time be faster and reach 2 p.m. now? I’d rather not have these few hours of life. I just want the game to be officially released as soon as possible!

nWarning! Warning! An unknown virus has appeared all over the world. It will cause people to sit in front of their computers without moving from morning to night. It will suddenly disappear at 2 p.m. Please do not be nervous!

nHaha! Go and remove the surveillance camera you installed in my house, immediately! How do you know that I’m sitting in front of the computer screen and waiting for time?

nOther than gaming forums, social media platforms, especially under Su Ping and Angelica’s social accounts…

nCountless players commented on such a thing.

nThe number of Su Ping’s messages had reached a new peak.

nCountless people were urging Su Ping to release the game a little earlier.

nOf course, Su Ping didn’t care about these private messages.

nMoreover, the time of the game’s official release couldn’t be changed at the last minute because of his will.

nSu Ping had already discussed it with the game development company. Everything would go according to the plan and there would be no deviation.

nFinally, it was 10 a.m. There were only four hours left before the game’s official release.

nNo matter which corner of the world, no matter which time zone…

nEven for the other half of the hemisphere, even though it was midnight, there were still countless people who logged into Steam on time or Storm Gaming Company’s official website.

nAt this moment, the download icon for Ready Player One has finally turned from gray to green!

nEveryone had been waiting for this moment. Now that the time had finally arrived, tens of millions of players clicked their left mouse buttons at the same time.

nThe terrifying number of visitors almost instantly pushed the server to its peak.

nFortunately, the game’s server was jointly built by major game development companies around the world, and they had also invited many technology experts to help maintain the server.

nOnly then did they prevent the server from crashing.

nAt the same time, Su Ping received news from Steam.

n“Mr. Su, did you know that our server almost crashed just now? The sudden surge in traffic on the server is no less than a top-notch hacker’s network attack!”

n“It was so scary, but fortunately, we managed to pull through. We’ll continue to carry out further maintenance on the server. The moment the game is officially released, our challenge will become even more terrifying!”

n“But please rest assured, Mr. Su. The server will definitely not have any problems today!”

nSu Ping replied with a smile.

n“It’s been hard on you guys today.”

n“It’s not hard at all. It’s an honor for everyone in the gaming industry to witness the miracle that Ready Player One is about to create!”

n“Mr. Su, you are the one who brought this honor to us. Everyone is so happy. Hence, this bit of hard work is nothing!”

nIt could be seen that the person in charge of Steam also attached great importance to Ready Player One’s official release today.

nFor people working in the gaming industry like them, Ready Player One wasn’t just a game. It had even become their religion!

nIn the face of faith, all the effort and hard work, whether it was sweat or blood, was worth it!

nOf course, Su Ping was glad about that.

nSu Ping knew very well that the completion of Ready Player One was only the beginning of everything.

nThe only way to make this game run smoothly was to let everyone play it normally without it crashing.

nIt was the final sign of Ready Player One’s success!

nIt would be meaningless if the game was created with no server that could host the players, no matter how perfect the game was.

nTime slowly passed. Under the anticipation of countless people, it was finally 2 p.m.!

nAt this moment, many people’s hearts even stopped beating.
