Chapter 113: Chapter 111: Not a Single Normal Person…
Translator: 549690339
Waking up in the same bed as a stranger of the opposite sex, what would your reaction be?
For men and women, the answer at many times is completely different.
Male players have diverse reactions.
Whether they’re shy and evasive or actively aggressive, they don’t really care about the situation itself.
Female players, on the other hand, are different. When they wake up in bed and suddenly see the blanket next to them move, followed by a strange man emerging!
That’s too scary!
Camille Victoria immediately lifted her right leg and kicked!
This is her instinctive defensive response.
Once, she went out with her roommates for fun, and because they were having a great time, they returned late.
They encountered a drunkard who kept calling her roommate “Vera” non-stop as if she were his girlfriend.
They wanted to avoid him, but he kept blocking them. Bystanders thought they were a couple having a disagreement and didn’t help them.
The drunkard became more and more excessive, even reaching out to grab them.
Camille Victoria couldn’t bear it any longer and viciously kicked the drunkard’s leg with her aluminum alloy prosthetic limb hidden under her jeans.
With a “clang,” the drunkard fell to the ground screaming, clutching his leg in pain, and his drunkenness suddenly disappeared.
While he screamed in pain on the ground, he still didn’t want Camille Victoria and her roommates to leave. He insisted on treating her roommate to a meal as an apology.
Camille Victoria raised her leg threateningly, scaring the drunk man into leaning backward, allowing her and her roommate to leave safely.
Since then, she has had a liking for her metal prosthetic limb!
She even gritted her teeth and spent a lot of money on a lightweight, durable titanium alloy prosthesis treated with nitriding, her favorite!
However, this is the virtual world.
Her right leg here is a soft, fleshy girl’s leg, not her beloved titanium alloy prosthesis.
Kicking her NPC boyfriend causes nearly no damage.
Luckily, the NPC won’t counterattack. Instead, they mumble about their girlfriend’s bad temper and messy habits as they head into the bathroom.
Although the NPC boyfriend was designed to be handsome to cater to female players.
Several female players were still frightened to the point of screaming on the spot.
Those who didn’t scream were tense and anxious throughout the experience.
It wasn’t until the NPC boyfriend walked into the bathroom and a task prompt appeared in front of their eyes that they started to calm down.
Why is this a blind spot for Cloud Dream Studio?
Because the acceptance level of girls who have never shared a bed with a lover versus those who have had such an intimate experience is not the same.
Moreover, even if they’ve had such experiences, it doesn’t mean they can
calmly wake up in the same bed with a stranger of the opposite sex. It so happens all the girls in Cloud Dream Studio have lovers!
Remember Lincoln’s complaints?
Excluding Randall and Little Chun, 18 of the 22 employees in the game production team are single, and the other four who aren’t are all girls!
All of these game characters were meticulously crafted by these girls, making them extremely familiar to them.
When they were testing it themselves, they didn’t feel any tension at all.
Although the female players were only tense for a short minute, when Lincoln noticed it while live streaming, he immediately decided to make changes.
“Mavis, help me record this.”
“Mavis is recording it!” Mavis obediently replied.
“In the future, when the game starts, female players should see a task prompt right away to remind them that they are in the game world. Next, the sound of water should come from the bathroom, reminding female players that there is someone else in the room. Then, the NPC boyfriend taking a bath in the bathroom makes some sounds, gets dressed, and walks out of the bathroom to complete their entrance process.”
“Mavis has recorded everything, should I update it to the development log?”
“Not yet.” Lincoln immediately shook his head. “Wait until workday on Monday to update it.”
“Alright!” Mavis obediently nodded.
Having solved this issue, Lincoln and Mavis’s focus returned to the players.
This time, they first looked at professional player Lance.
In fact, this time Lance didn’t get the closed beta opportunity because of his status as a professional player—it was thanks to Shuihua’s help that he got the invitation letter.
Shuihua had participated in the last closed beta, so she was invited again this time.
Then, in order to help Lance, she went to Camille Victoria for help.
As an employee of Dream Cloud Studio, the Princess naturally had internal invitation qualifications.
Camille Victoria didn’t need this qualification, and it just happened that Shuihua needed it, so she gave it to Lance.
Because of this, Lincoln also met this person.
Looking at Lance’s performance at this time, he couldn’t help but marvel: among the people he was most concerned about, there seemed to be no normal person.
Lance fully demonstrated the patience of a professional player as he faced the difficulties his fat lady boss was imposing on him, with no emotional fluctuations at all.
Even when the fat lady boss was holding a stapler almost touching his eyelashes and clicking it non-stop, he didn’t even blink an eye.
When the set panic attack occurred and his heart raced, as soon as the blood-veins bulging effect appeared, he instantly took out medicine from his pocket and ate it, removing the negative effects.
He didn’t delay for a second and didn’t panic at all, fully demonstrating a top player’s ability to predict the game.
—when he found his workstation, he checked it up and down and easily found the medicine.
Not to mention the “fear relief medication” prompt floating in the air beside the medicine bottle.
Lance didn’t even break a sweat before completing this part of the storyline.
After finishing the storyline, he went straight to chat with his colleagues to trigger the next stage of the story.
Streamer Yi was still standing in front of the bathroom door, panting heavily.
The NPC girlfriend inside didn’t know if she was tired or not, but she had already stopped screaming.
That thin wooden door was already covered with cracks, and with each blow from Yi, it seemed to crack even more.
It seemed like it would break with just one more hit.
But the problem was, he had felt “just one more hit” five minutes ago.
Then he didn’t know how many more times he had hit, but the door just wouldn’t break! It felt like it was “just one more hit” again!
It looked precarious but was actually indestructible, which left him speechless.
He tried to use verbal persuasion to lure the NPC girlfriend out instead.
The diaper anchor’s interest had changed by this point—he had no interest in the woman inside, and now he just wanted to go in and see if the back of the door had cracks or was completely unscathed!
He felt like he’d been duped by Cloud Dream!
Unfortunately, the woman inside didn’t even acknowledge him.
After a stalemate for a long time, he could only give up helplessly and leave the room dejectedly.
Super Tomato also left the cabin, but strangely ignored the mission prompts to go to work and called a taxi instead.
“Where do you want to go?” the driver asked.
“Drive towards where the sun rises,” Super Tomato replied. The driver looked perplexed, “East? How far east?”
“Keep going, as far as you can.”
The driver got angry, “Listen, I don’t have time to mess around with you, I need to work to support my family…”
With a “swish” sound, before the driver could finish his words, a stack of money appeared in front of him.
Super Tomato handed over almost all the money he had scraped together, leaving only 20 dollars in his hand.
The driver took the money and counted it, then changed his tone, “Alright, besides supporting my family, occasionally pursuing some romance isn’t bad either.”
The taxi merged into traffic and sped off in the direction the sun rises.
Super Tomato wanted to see just how big this virtual world was.
By the way, he also wanted to see how Cloud Dream dealt with the boundary issues in the virtual world.
It couldn’t possibly rely on boring air walls like traditional games, right?
