To ascend, I had no choice but to create games

Chapter 270: Chapter 177: Exciting Collaboration (Part 2)_2

While setting up the live stream, he dragged the object into view and then spoke to his audience, “Guys, today’s stream features ‘Space Navigator.’ I’ve just stumbled upon something peculiar—it might be an easter egg in the game. Let’s check it out together.”

[Wang…]

“What’s up?”

[You’d better make sure it’s a real easter egg and not like last time when you mistook a planetary beast’s gallstone for a treasure.]

As someone brought up his past blunder, the live stream chat erupted into laughter, filling the room with a lively atmosphere.

Wang teased the viewer who had exposed his secret but internally, he gave them a thumbs-up.

He wasn’t a naturally talented content creator. His standing was earned through constant learning and replicating what worked. Many content creators rise quickly but fall just as fast, mainly because they get cocky after finding fame and start to become pretentious.

But a content creator’s livelihood hinges on pleasing the audience. No matter what kind of persona you’ve established, you have to stick to how your viewers initially fell for you and not forget your core fanbase.

While joking around with his audience, he continued to transport the statue.

By the time he had brought the statue into the flagship’s workspace, the viewers also began to sense that this thing was not ordinary.

By now, much of the game’s lore had been uncovered; everyone had also realized the local inhabitants lacked creativity. So, this statue was either some kind of ancient artifact or truly transformed from a local inhabitant.

As people pondered the origin of the statue, someone suddenly said, [I remember now, in ‘Squirrel Spaceship,’ I’ve taken a picture with a statue similar to this one. Let me show it to you guys.]

Half a minute later, the viewer pulled up the screenshot, and after comparing it for a while, everyone concluded it was indeed the same statue.

The screenshot showed a ferocious Wolf-headed Human with a commanding presence, gazing into the distance with an awe-inspiring and invincible appearance.

However, the statue in the cabin looked terrified, as if it had seen something extremely horrifying.

After the analysis, everyone reached a consensus, “This thing must be a Demigod.”

Demigods were the term for highly powerful beings who had allowed their bodies to evolve through biotechnology and, through the worship of Gods, gained formidable strength. Each one was a God’s favorite.

Because of their closeness to the Gods, their physical forms evolved to resemble the Gods, eventually turning into tall, mighty, humanoid figures.

Although they looked like living beings, they were in fact concentrated entities of faith and energy. Each of them was a powerful warrior, capable of contending with a medium-sized warship on their own.

With such a being beaten to this state, what exactly had it gone through previously?

As people pondered how to open this thing, the spaceship’s power furnace was repaired.

The moment the power furnace was repaired, the energy that had just ignited was suddenly drained, even sapping the spaceship’s own reserve power, leaving the ship in darkness save for Delta, which flickered with a faint green light from its independent power source.

The energy that could sustain the ship’s operation started to converge on the statue, which seemed to transform into a bottomless pit, voraciously sucking in the surrounding energy.

At the sight of this, a series of astonished “OMG” exclamations echoed through the live stream.

[OMG, Wang really struck gold this time, not just scraps of paper.]

[Gold or weeds, it’s too soon to tell. It might just explode the next second and send Wang to the heavens.]

[My divination suggests that it’s quite possible.]

[I’m actually looking forward to Wang getting blown up. Wait, has he got insurance?]

[Seems like he has, but it might not be comprehensive enough.]

[Then forget it, we can’t let this old rascal off easy.]

[However, the CG rendering is excellent; Fang Cheng Studio’s attention to detail is amazing.]

Amidst the crowd’s astonishment, Wang watched as the statue’s exterior began to fall off, the obsidian-like shell cracking down the middle and then flaking away piece by piece, revealing the Demigod within.

As all the exterior fell off, the Wolf-headed Human quietly floated in mid-air, as if asleep. But soon after, it erupted into a roar and its eyes blazed with brilliant golden light.

Energy swirled around his hands, converging into a translucent spear.

Once the spear materialized, his wounds began to heal, using the energy of the spaceship for self-repair. He turned his head and looked seriously at the Squirrel Wang and asked, “What time is it now?”

“Saturday evening, 8:16.” Wang quickly replied.

“…Envoy of the Outer God, please give me the time in our star system.”

“Oh, my apologies.”

After letting Delta tell him the time, the Wolf-headed Human sat down with the spear and then addressed Wang, “Envoy of the Outer God, may I requisition your spaceship?”

“No way.”

“Thank you for your cooperation… wait, why not?”

“You said it’s my spaceship. Why would I just give it to you for free?”

The Wolf-headed Human was momentarily lost for words but still patiently explained, “Our star system is currently facing an unprecedented catastrophe. An unknown Evil God has obtained new means and has started assaulting our world. I must find someone to relay this information, to make everyone aware of the seriousness of this matter.”
