Translator: _Min_  Editor: Rainystars

When Godly Land first came online, the Phantom helmet was still a rarity. Future Technology had never considered outsourcing or licensing the technology to other large manufacturers. Therefore, it was difficult for players to purchase helmets on the official website, even for rich individuals. Many players could only enjoy the games in the Internet cafes partnered with Future Technology, and often times there was a waitlist.

To a large extent, the low penetration rate of helmets had severely restricted the number of online users at the beginning of the 24-hour period.

But even so, on the first day of launch, the record of 100 million concurrent users around the world easily broke a record set by a certain MOBA game.

The launch of Galaxy Edge was bound to divert some players from Godly Land.

But it was an expected outcome.

No matter how fun the game, how rich the content, it was evitable that players to grow weary of a game. When people lose their interest and start to feel bored with day-to-day mobs and endless tasks to complete, they were bound to start thinking about playing less or even leave the game, then find a new game to change things up.

Galaxy Edge happened to provide this new option for these players.

It was three in the morning.

Lilith did not need to sleep, but Jiang Chen was already sleepy and couldn’t stand it anymore.

Based on the saying of the Internet, those who were not asleep at this hour must be seeking to become greater beings.

“You’re not going to sleep yet?”

Attracted by the light in the living room, Xia Shiyu, who got up to use the bathroom, came down the stairs and walked up behind Jiang Chen.

With her arms on the back of the sofa, she put her face over Jiang Chen’s shoulders, looked at the holographic screen floating in front of him, and murmured with tired voice. “… Well, it has reached 370 million? It’s estimated that its peak is 400 million.”

“Aren’t you surprised?” Jiang Chen turned his face slightly, and smiled, “I was looking forward to seeing a startled expression on your face.”

“I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed.” Xia Shiyu’s lips curved up to form a gentle sleepy smile. “When we met three days ago, we made predictions on this data and reserved server resources based on the data. ”

“Oh? What is the number of players you predicted?” Jiang Chen smiled.

“The daily average… is probably at around 100 million. As for the peak number, if you don’t consider expansions and in-game events, it is probably the number you will see. Not surprisingly, it should be about 400 million. ”

Xia Shiyu gave a fairly conservative estimate to Jiang Chen.

But even a conservative estimate was a pretty staggering number.

Future Technology’s creation could only be broken by Future Technology.

After tonight, this record would once again shock the world.

…

Early the next morning, the Wall Street Journal gave a rare headline to an online game.

“The VR game industry hits a new high again, the peak of the global concurrent players on Galaxy Edge exceeded the total population of the UA.”

The UA population exceeded 400 million in 2020, and as of 4:00 am on May 31st, the number of online users had already exceeded the 400 million mark with the influx of players from other time zones.

Like the time when Godly Land went online, the capital world had once again set their sight on the masterpiece created by Future Technology after a gap of four years. In this era where traffic is king, this astounding number of players meant money.

Wall Street analysts valued Galaxy Edge at more than 100 billion dollars. Whether this valuation was accurate or justified remained a debate, but the valuation was just the tip of the iceberg for the captial world’s interest in this game.
