[There will be a fashion store system in the game? That’s great! Although I’m not rich, I still want to do my part for Zombie Apocalypse! I’ll definitely buy skins in the game!]

[Finally, there’s something that I’ve been looking for. I’m just not sure what the effect of the skin system would be like. I hope the skins in the store will be able to match the game environment and atmosphere!]

[Finally, there’s a way for me to pay for the game. I’ve been dying of guilt when playing this game for free!]

After the players learned that the payment system would be added to the following Zombie Apocalypse series, Su Ping didn’t get criticized or scolded like Storm Gaming Company or other gaming companies.

On the other hand, the players were eager to purchase game items from the game store.

It was the result of the game’s excellent quality and reputation.

“Haha! Thank you for your support, but my words are still the same, spend your money wisely. You should spend only a little money in the store because there will eventually be a paid version of the game.”

“It will be better to pay more attention to the game itself. It’s my honor and happiness as a game producer to receive everyone’s good reviews.”

Then, the host responded to some questions in the comment section, which were irrelevant.

However, Su Ping had already answered most of the crucial questions.

Soon, the live stream came to an end. Just when the audience thought the live stream was about to end and felt a little reluctant…

Su Ping dropped a bombshell.

“Initially, today’s live stream is going to end here. After seeing everyone’s enthusiasm, I’ll add a new bit of information at the last minute.”

Upon hearing it, countless players who were about to leave the live stream room immediately stopped their actions.

“Zombie Apocalypse II is about to be released. I can tell you a little about its plot. It isn’t a spoiler, just a little hint to raise your expectations for the story and game.”

As soon as Su Ping said this, the number of comments in the live stream room decreased significantly.

Apparently, everyone was holding their breath and waiting for Su Ping to continue his words.

“In season two, our character, Alice, will leave The Hive and enter Raccoon City to fight and explore the area.”

“She will fight with all her might with her teammates to survive in the cruel apocalyptic world!”

“You will witness the crisis of the apocalypse and the trust between humans in the game. I hope everyone will like it!”

“Meanwhile, I’m going to challenge players worldwide through this live stream.”

“When Zombie Apocalypse II is officially released, I will find the first 10,000 players worldwide who have cleared Zombie Apocalypse II through the game statistics.”

“After completing the challenge, these players will be given first dibs on playing the next game. The new game doesn’t just include the Zombie Apocalypse series. They will be the first to experience any game released after Zombie Apocalypse II!”

“I hope everyone will participate in this event after the game is officially released to get a head start on others in the following games!”

The comments filled the live stream room when Su Ping finished his words.

[Fuck! Producer, are you trying to shock all of us to death? You revealed so much information all at once. My god, my brain can’t process all the information.]

[My brain has already shut down. Happiness has arrived all of a sudden!]

[When will Zombie Apocalypse II be released? I must be one of the first 10,000 people who clear the game!]

[No one can steal one of the 10,000 spots from me!]

[Raccoon City? I knew there would be a new map in season two. Haha! I love street fighting since I’m good at it!]

[Ten thousand people eagerly request Zombie Apocalypse II to be released as soon as possible!]

As Su Ping saw the positive comments, he pressed the “off” button and ended the live stream.

The content of today’s live stream was destined to sweep through the global Internet. The information Su Ping had revealed in the live stream room would spread worldwide.

Tens of millions of gamers were looking forward to the release of Zombie Apocalypse II.

Finally, after much anticipation, Zombie Apocalypse II was officially released.

Su Ping thought it over and decided not to let Angelica play the game before it was officially released.

After all, he had issued a challenge at the end of the last live stream.

If Angelica had played the game beforehand, there would have been many people who would have studied the live stream in detail and found ways and strategies to clear the game before the game was released quickly.

It will be unfair to players who didn’t know about Angelica and didn’t watch her live stream.

Hence, Su Ping treated everyone equally. Angelica could only experience the game after it was officially released.

Su Ping nevertheless sent Angelica the game’s installation package beforehand so she could install it due to her persistent requests.

However, she could only start playing after the open beta.

Zombie Apocalypse II was officially opened for beta testing on a sunny morning!

Since Zombie Apocalypse I was a free game, Su Ping didn’t earn money from it.

Hence, things were the same for Zombie Apocalypse II since he didn’t have the money for promotion.

People could only get information through Su Ping’s announcement on Steam or by visiting Angelica’s forum account to find the latest news.

Nevertheless, many players were still aware of the release date for Zombie Apocalypse II in advance.

They also knew Angelica might experience the game live in her streaming room.

As a result, shortly after she started her live stream that morning, the number of concurrent viewers in her live stream room shot up quickly and reached a tremendous number.

Many people didn’t even go to work today since they wanted to watch the live stream.

[Host, when can we start playing Zombie Apocalypse II? I’m sure you’re the first person in the world to play the game!]

[Host, I bet you finished playing the game a few days ago, right? The crazy game producer definitely let you play the game beforehand since you’re on such good terms with him.]

[Why aren’t you opening the game? If you don’t, we’re going to unsubscribe you!]

[I feel like 10,000 ants are crawling on my body. Can you quickly start the game?]

As the popularity of the live stream room had reached Angelica’s expectations, it was finally time for the official open beta of Zombie Apocalypse II.

Angelica didn’t continue to chat with the viewers in the live steam room or keep them in suspense.

She immediately double-clicked the logo of Zombie Apocalypse II on the screen and started the game.
