Chapter 106: Chapter 104: You are the worst class I’ve ever taught!
Translator: 549690339
The number of registrants on Cloud Dream’s backend soared rapidly.
Lincoln began preparing some invitation letters.
Yes, he wanted to pre-select some people.
After all, he only mentioned “select” in the announcement, not “completely random selection,” so it’s reasonable to pre-select, and it couldn’t be considered as a shady deal.
Old friends need to be invited, after all.
Camille Victoria, Shuihua, “Game Base,” and a group of fans get the selection spots.
Randall, Little Chun, and Princess, as insiders, can try the experience anytime and needn’t be part of the allocation.
Diaper anchor needs a spot.
Super Tomato should also be invited. Although he is in Shen City, Lincoln can reimburse his airfare and accommodation!
In the studio group chat, employees got the news from their boss Randall and soon saw their boss’ announcement. The entire player group was excited, and they couldn’t help but feel thrilled as well.
From the bottom of their hearts, they believe that the “Assassins’ Alliance” they are making is a game changer!
Now, this epoch-making game is finally about to enter the closed beta stage.
It’s like a chef has used all his skills to create the most top-notch dishes confidently, and now they are about to be served to the guests for tasting.
Of course, they are surging with excitement.
Even wanting to work overtime right away!
The excitement of players is several times that of the employees at Dream Cloud Studio.
After all, the employees have built this world themselves and know what kind of game it is, and they are familiar with the plot and levels.
For players, it’s different; except for knowing that it is a virtual environment gunfight game that can provide an immersive experience far beyond VR games and the mysterious huge loom, they really know nothing about it.
The worst part is that the trailer didn’t even specify the release date.
As a result, players only know that Cloud Dream is making this game, but they have no idea about the progress, let alone when they can play it.
Is it next month? Or next year?
Finally, with this precise news, they know that the release is not far away. Naturally, they are very excited and can’t stop discussing it passionately.
The major eSports clubs are also surging with excitement, but they are also extremely anxious.
“Assassins’ Alliance” is soon to be launched, which is a good thing.
They can look forward to new forms of eSports competitions with stronger spectator appeal, higher prize money, and higher commercial value!
These are all opportunities for eSports clubs.
But it is also bad news.
Because, at present, no club has enough Mirage consoles. The club Lance belongs to has managed to grab three, which is already a lot.
Now, with the news of “Assassins’ Alliance” being launched soon, the competition is bound to become fiercer!
By the time the game really comes out, if the entire club can’t grab enough consoles for the players to use, it’ll become a laughingstock!
The whole club turning into a joke is still a minor problem.
If some clubs get more consoles while others get fewer, that’s the real issue!
A single slip-up may cause lasting sorrow; a club falling behind might suffer setbacks in the competitions. Once they suffer multiple setbacks in the competitions, their commercial value will decrease, and that’s the key to a club’s development!
So, what should they do?
Fight! Mobilize everyone who can be mobilized to grab stocks!
Moreover, go to Dream Cloud Studio! Try to open up purchase channels! It doesn’t matter if the price is several times higher!
In the office, Gary, the man behind it all, is having difficulty breathing.
You guys are the worst bunch of players I’ve ever had to deal with!
You’re so unreliable! How could you be so easily distracted?!
Cloud Dream hasn’t announced the all-platform release date for “Traveler of the Wind” yet! If they release it in half a year, won’t you all be working for nothing today?!
It doesn’t matter if you all work for nothing, but I’ve spent millions to get this far, and I’ve put so many media outlets and anchors on the blacklist to force Cloud Dream to this point. Are you just going to waste it all?!
Does a simple IOU from Cloud Dream calm you down?
With just a closed beta invite, you’re ignoring their overbearing behavior of prohibiting players from live streaming?!
No way!
Absolutely not!
At least the results of damaging Mirage’s sales must be preserved!
Otherwise, after spending so much money, the result would just be hyping up Cloud Dream’s new game. How would he explain it to his boss?
Especially since he’s probably already infamous by now.
In the future, even when changing jobs, as soon as he says during an interview, “My last job was as the public relations supervisor at NetDragon.”
The interviewer will reply, “Ah, so you’re the one who got more than ten media outlets on Cloud Dream’s blacklist?”
There’s no chance of finding a new job at this point!
He’s very suspicious that after causing so many media outlets to be blacklisted
by Cloud Dream, he has already made it onto their collaboration blacklists! There’s no point thinking about a new job, better focus on keeping the current one!
Gary pulled himself together and his thoughts quickly changed.
Soon, he took action again, decisively contacting the blacklisted media outlets and individuals.
Then, add money!
“Since you’ve been blacklisted by Cloud Dream anyway, making a fuss won’t help. Why not go all the way? Just keep insisting that you’re doing it for the player’s sake, maintain your attitude, and pressure Cloud Dream to announce the all-platform release plan!”
“Add another 20%, and this is the final offer. If you’re not willing to do it, I’ll find someone else!”
Gary’s speed was fast. He communicated with the media and self-media on the phone while giving orders in the group chat, telling underlings to connect with anchors and leaders of the water army.
As a huge amount of cash was thrown out, preparations for the second phase of the attack began again.
Gary cheered himself on, “If this plan is successful, it’s not impossible to replicate it after the release of “Assassins’ Alliance” for another round!”
The next day, Lincoln had no choice but to get up early and go to the studio.
Despite grumbling in his heart about the unenjoyed three-day vacation, he still had to crawl out of bed early.
After all, so much had happened after work yesterday, and the announcement that the closed beta was imminent. So, he had to show up at the studio to put employees at ease.
Not to mention, he’d already made up his mind to speed up the production process. At least, before the release of “Assassins’ Alliance”, he plans to participate all the way and not slack off.
For this, he even called Old Master Liang in advance and asked him to tell Sisi that he wouldn’t be going over to compete in model making for these days.
Old Master Liang was left speechless.
Upon arriving at the company, he could clearly feel that everyone was more excited than before.
Even administrative assistant Cheryl was bustling around the office early in the morning, not knowing what she was cleaning up.
Seeing Lincoln appear, everyone stared at him intently.
Feeling uneasy under the scrutiny, Lincoln wondered what they were up to? Were they waiting for him to start a pep rally?
“Stop staring at me, you should all know by now that we’re going to do a small-scale closed beta earlier than planned. So, adjust the development plan slightly and polish up the beginning scenes and story content of the game first.
Any questions?”
Everyone shook their heads.
“Well then, get ready. Starting today, I’ll be fully involved, so be prepared to speed up development.”
With that, everyone dispersed, but Lincoln called back Randall and went to the virtual world, inviting Little Chun as well.
He was well aware that opening up the all-platform version of “Traveler of the Wind” would reduce some of Mirage’s potential sales.
And the reason he readily agreed was, of course, that he already had a
countermeasure in mind!
