Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch - C.322 - 320: A Great Day for Players

Chapter 322: Chapter 320: A Great Day for Players

Translator: 549690339

Princess Camille Victoria, given her original character, wouldn’t have been so proactive.

But after that “physical communication” with her sister, the sisters had a heart-to-heart conversation. 𝘧𝘳ℯ𝓮𝘸𝓮𝑏𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓁.𝘤ℴ𝘮

After being encouraged by her sister, the little princess decided to take the initiative.

She even boldly gave away her jade pendant!

The ancient saying goes, “A beautiful jade can symbolize deep affection”.

It’s almost the same as directly confessing one’s feelings!

As for wasting her charms on Lincoln, who appeared indifferent, it didn’t matter.

After all, jade as a token carries a layer of meaning: neither to be overly eager nor distant.

Being subtle is good, at least it avoids the possibility of direct rejection.

After all, she hasn’t had her coming-of-age ceremony yet!

Though her sister reassured her, “Just go for it! As long as he’s a normal man, he will definitely not reject you! You are the princess of Daxia! You are not only pretty and cute, you are good at singing and dancing, thoughtful, good at housekeeping, and even better at discussing art in beautiful surroundings, and talking about human interactions and game development with straight-minded people!”

“I can’t imagine what kind of man would reject a girl like you!”

But Camille Victoria lacked the confidence, for she was well aware that Lincoln was different.

Camille Victoria stood not far from Lincoln, observing his actions, and clearly understood that Lincoln was never a “normal” person.

And it’s this “uniqueness” of Lincoln’s that truly attracts her.

But it doesn’t matter, the little princess clenched her fists, cheering herself on!

There will be many opportunities, as long as she is willing to work hard, she will definitely succeed!

On the sofa at home, Lincoln examined the smooth and creamy jade peace buckle in his hand.

Even though he didn’t know much about jade, he could tell that the jade of this peace buckle was of high quality, and it also didn’t look like something newly bought; it had been worn for a long time.

While looking at the jade buckle, Lincoln didn’t have any romantic thoughts, but instead, he didn’t know what to do with it.

— Whether at home or out, he’s all about comfort, often wearing shorts at home and sweatpants outside.

It’s only when he has guests at home, out of etiquette, that he dresses properly.

So

There’s nowhere to hang this peace buckle!

He couldn’t hang it on his sweatpants, could he?

What kind of style would that be?

Rustic folk style?

With no immediate solution, Lincoln slipped it in his pocket for the time being.

Mavis saw all this and understood better than Lincoln what this gift meant.

— But since the master didn’t ask, Mavis didn’t mention it!

For the rest of the weekend, while the player circle was still bustling, Lincoln felt that everything had calmed down.

He had finished what he needed to do, and Gary, startled by the landmine he had stepped on, was too afraid to mess around. He temporarily shelved his plans for a “anti-monopoly” assault on Cloud Dream.

However, relaxing times always pass quickly.

The weekend flew by, and the workday came again.

Monday is a great day for players.

On the one hand, Warehouse Bird’s money-making plan officially begins.

Or in another sense: Cloud Dream’s “Assassins’ Alliance” Unlimited National Championship begins.

Many players are eager to have a good fight.

This can’t be compared to the Freedom Day event, at least in the competition venue, there are no such things as luck or coincidence: the venue is not big, the number of people is equal, and everyone has the same firepower.

All players entering can choose two comfortable cold weapons, two handy pistols, but they can’t modify the calibre, plus four magazines and a bulletproof vest.

In the preliminary selection, there are no resurrection or points mechanisms, let alone a loser’s group.

It’s a survival of the bravest in a narrow passage!

Winners continue to move forward, losers are eliminated directly.

And the first round winners will only meet people who also won in the first round.

Any team that loses in any round will be directly eliminated.

It’s all about the raw power!

Not until the 32 teams that participate in the group stage has been decided, will the competition mechanism become more diverse and complex.

The most obvious change is: the competition will switch to a group stage and introduce a firepower upgrade mechanism.

And up until the group stage, you can participate in battles all day long.

It’s not until the group stage switches to the offline race that the time will be adjusted to a fixed evening, so players can watch the live broadcast of the competition.

Warehouse Bird calculated idly when he was bored:

According to the registration data released by Cloud Dream, there were over 600,000 teams registered for the competition.

That adds up to about 3 million players, which is a far cry from the nearly 12 million players in the previous Freedom Day event.

But as an official competition, that’s also quite amazing!

If there are no byes, they may have to win 14 rounds in a row to get into the group stage.

That is to say, in the best-case scenario, they could earn 140,000?!

Warehouse Bird was somewhat taken by surprise after counting, but after the surprise, he immediately became eager and couldn’t wait.

Today, they all logged in early with their teammates, waiting for the match port to open.

[08:00]

Even before Dream Cloud Studio’s set working hours, the match-specific port was already online.

The staff of the “Assassins’ Alliance” operation team have almost all logged into the virtual office in advance, closely watching the progress of the match.

The reason I say almost is that their boss, Randall, is not there.

As the players have completed their matches and entered the competition map to start the fierce battles, Randall was still at home making a loving breakfast for his girlfriend and couldn’t care less about anything else.

Moreover, taking care of Little Chun was the purpose of Lincoln letting him be in charge of the operation of “Assassins’ Alliance”, and letting Fred take over the development of the “Speed Chase” project, Randall was not guilty of slacking off.

However, he won’t be able to slack off for long, as Little Chun has already set the bowl and chopsticks and is knocking on the spoon at the dining table to urge him.

Today is not only the “Assassins’ Alliance” operation team that has things to do.

The Light Encounter Group is also busy!

The Light Encounter Group first felt that time was too long and they couldn’t wait any longer.

The second was their feeling that the player group of “Light Encounter” was mostly made up of casual players.

They have long grown accustomed to logging in every day to do their daily routine, meet up with friends, and they are not particularly strong in their need for concentrated and large amounts of game time.

Naturally, they did not need to update on Fridays as they did when the server first opened, so that the players could spend two nights and two days on the game.

As a matter of course, they set the update time on Monday.

Also, thanks to the advanced technology of the virtual world, these small-scale updates don’t require any downtime or waiting.

This has given them a chance to act arbitrarily.

So, the players in the game “Light Encounter”, at dusk, suddenly received an emergency announcement:

“Light Encounter Diving Season – Blitz Online!

Islands, lighthouses, ocean floors, fish, sunken ships, coral…

Even unimaginably huge deep-sea creatures!

Come diving –

Let’s meet on the island tomorrow!

Hold onto the tail of summer!”

Upon reading this announcement, the players of “Light Encounter” fell into a state of ecstasy.

Everyone thought that, following the habits of Cloud Dream, they would have to wait a week at least, who knew that without warning, the game would suddenly go online!

It was truly a surprise.

However, the natural behavior of casual players was not affected, and most players did not specifically take leave or change their schedules.

They just arranged time with their game friends to go play on the island.

Only those players who originally had time would log on early in the morning, sitting on the stone bench of Yu environment waiting.

When 8 o’clock came, they saw a few small wooden boats approaching the shore.

Everyone immediately got the hint and bounced and jumped over to board the boat.

– Led by Little Chun, the development team did not put the ships going to the Diving Season map on Grave Soil, but generously put them on the initial map: Yu environment.

After the players boarded the small boat, they didn’t need to operate, the boat was automatically accelerating without wind.

They moved away from the shore of Yu environment, even slowly floating, leaving the water surface, flying over the Cloud Sea!

Until they saw several brand new islands on the distant sea surface, they reached the new map.

They arrived – Diving Season!

This Monday, the players of Cloud Dream all embraced the updates that made them extremely happy, and each was enjoying the game happily.

Even the players in “Paradise” discovered the surprise Lincoln had prepared for them –

The animal leading runners on [Candy Track] have changed shifts!

For the first two days, it was Little Milkshake acting as the leading runner.

Starting the third day, some other cats and dogs from the Dream Cloud Studio also joined the leading runner team.

– Although they are not as famous as Milkshake, the players have more or less an impression of them.

But now, at the beginning of a new week, many players recognize, unrecognizable animal cubs have all joined in, starting to lead the race for the players.

Even in some tracks, a baby sloth has appeared!

What’s even more outrageous is that this baby sloth is not “lazy” at all, it’s as fast as a trot when it runs! It’s outrageously ridiculous.

But this contrast quickly endeared it to the players!

Many players, after encountering it once on the race track, deliberately left the race track and went to the amusement park to find this little sloth.

And – yes, early in the morning, the animal herds once again “invaded” the amusement park…

Over the past few days, players have gotten used to this scene and are completely unfazed by it.

They play their own games as usual, and even some young players feel that they are already good friends with some of the animals after playing with them every day!

As long as they log in and see the animals, they immediately go find their animal friends to play with, and the attractions that attracted them before lose their appeal in front of these animal friends.

But Lincoln was a bit unhappy!

They’re still coming? It’s been almost a week…

I don’t mind you guys coming to the amusement park, but if you guys come every day, won’t the wilderness be completely bare of even a single strand of hair?

Did I deliberately make such a big wilderness so that it would always be empty?!

And if no one goes to the wilderness to find animals, who will trigger the Easter eggs that Mavis left behind?
