"Just wait. The pre-sale of the new game has only just begun. Once the funds start flowing in and the company's office building is secured, we can move on to everything else…" Andrew made up his mind, his tone calm but resolute.
After all, the money hadn't fully come in yet, and the first wave of pre-orders for the new game would definitely continue for some time. There was no need to rush. When the initial surge finally began to settle, it would be the perfect moment to push forward with the next phase of his plans.
"I just hope the funds will be enough… There shouldn't be any issues. After all, overseas players can also log in and place pre-orders…" Andrew murmured, a flicker of anticipation glowing in his eyes.
That's right, the "O5 Council Game Platform" created by the system didn't just support domestic players; it was fully accessible worldwide. International versions had already been deployed, allowing players to log in without restriction. Aside from language differences, every feature remained identical, ensuring a seamless experience across regions. Which meant one thing: players across the globe could pre-order SCP: 5K. And the sheer scale of the international player base was staggering.
Andrew had a strong feeling about this. A bold, almost electrifying intuition. In this wave of pre-sales, the final revenue would reach at least an astronomical level. Perhaps even more. He just didn't know exactly how high it might climb to.
"Hah… no point overthinking it." Andrew exhaled slowly, steadying himself.
He took a sip of water, letting the cool sensation ground his racing thoughts. Then, with a faint but confident smile, he leaned back and turned his attention to what mattered now, watching the first official stream of the new game.
Time ticked forward, second by second.
Anticipation built like pressure before a storm. Soon, under the eager gaze of countless players and netizens, it was three o'clock in the afternoon.
On the Platform, inside Kiwo's stream.
"Hahaha! It's three o'clock! Everyone! We're finally streaming the new game!" Her energetic voice burst through the stream, filled with excitement that was impossible to contain.
Kiwo slapped the table, eyes shining with an intensity never seen before. "Everyone! Are you ready?! Do you want to see what this game is all about? Hahaha!"
She tilted her head back slightly, her enthusiasm overflowing, infecting everyone watching.
The viewers in the stream exploded with excitement and a fair bit of envy:
"Wow! I'm so jealous!"
"Go, go, go! SCP: 5K! Let's go!!"
"Been waiting forever for this! Finally!"
"Ahhh! I'm so hyped!"
"Hurry up, Kiwo, hurry!"
Kiwo glanced at the rapidly scrolling chat, her face practically glowing with excitement. "Hahaha! Everyone, relax! We're just waiting for Brit and the others to finish setting up! Once they're ready, the game begins!"
At the same time, in the streams of Brit, Vale, RT, and Plumbella, the same feverish anticipation was unfolding.
In Brit's stream.
While getting everything ready, he grinned and spoke to the viewers with obvious excitement: "Everyone, let's make a guess. What do you think the fastest clear time for this game will be?"
The chat instantly erupted, messages flooding in without pause:
"Hahaha! First comment! I think this game's gonna be harder than the last one!"
"Same here, SCP: 5K sounds way tougher than Containment Breach. Clearing it won't be easy!"
"No problem! I believe Brit's got this in the bag!"
"Brit: Don't drag me into your overconfidence!"
"Hahaha! I'm dying laughing."
"Brit, just start already! I can't wait anymore!"
Brit looked at the chat, a wide grin spreading across his face. The excitement in his chest was overwhelming, almost impossible to put into words.
"Don't rush, everyone. It's already three o'clock." He paused for a moment, then leaned slightly closer to the screen, his voice filled with anticipation. "We're about to begin the stream of SCP: 5K. Get ready, everyone… let's dive into this brand-new world together."
