Chapter 32: Chapter 32 Princess Takes Action
Translator: 549690339
Randall had just finished the factory negotiations and had basically decided on the partners.
All he had to do was sort it out and then run it by Lincoln for approval before they could start production.
On his way back, he noticed the trailer for “Blaze 3” released by NetDragon. This surprised him a lot!
It wasn’t that he was surprised Lincoln was right about NetDragon’s motive to promote “Blaze 3” in competition with Lincoln’s “Traveler of the Wind” – that wasn’t surprising at all.
What astonished him was that “Blaze 3” was coming out so soon!
This was impossible!
He was the former chief planner of the “Blaze” series and was very familiar with the entire production team and the progress of the project.
Before he left, he handed over the project, as well as drew up detailed plans and timelines again.
According to their schedule, it would take another half a year to complete “Blaze 3”!
Even if NetDragon massively reallocates members from other game production teams to help the Flame Group speed up their progress, it shouldn’t take less than three months!
He contacted his former subordinate, who was in good rapport with him, only to find out astonishingly that NetDragon planned to push back the unfinished parts and sell them as DLCs. The part going to be launched now didn’t even reach the story ending he originally planned!
Randall couldn’t quite understand why NetDragon would do this, as it would greatly affect the game’s sales and reputation.
After all, NetDragon shouldn’t have any problem with making money, right? He knew that in their planning, the early stage of the game involved a lot of depressing plotlines as a build-up.
It wasn’t until the last three chapters that the story would gradually drive to a climax, allowing the protagonist to wreak unparalleled havoc in an open environment, using the grand finale to ignite the players’ previously suppressed emotions.
This grand scene had to be exciting and stimulating enough to make the players fully enjoy the thrill and feel that all their previous efforts were worth
Therefore, this grand scene was incredibly tedious to create and required a lot of time to perfect.
And now, NetDragon had simply cut this part off??
“The new boss may not understand, but didn’t any of you explain the drawbacks of doing this?” Randall puzzled.
“We didn’t have a chance. Now it’s the high-level parachuted chief planner who simply doesn’t listen to our opinions. They just announced the company’s decision to us, and we have to comply.” The response was full of repression.
But Randall was helpless too. He did care about “Blaze” as it was the project he had raised with his own hands.
But he had already resigned, what could he do? Rush back to NetDragon to explain the pros and cons and ask them to cancel the release plan?
It was likely that he would be seen as a Cloud Dream’s mole, trying to disrupt NetDragon’s morale…
All he could do was sigh and hang up the phone.
Then he opened Spiritual Rhinoceros and looked at the “NetDragon ‘Blaze’ Series Chief Planner” profile, and started to edit it.

After making the change, he stopped looking at the reactions on the internet and drove home.
Online, players were already passionately discussing the content of “Blaze 3”. As soon as Randall, the well-known “Father of Blaze”, made a move, it was immediately noticed.
Then they were dumbfounded to find out that right before the release of “Blaze 3”, and while Cloud Dream Studio’s “Traveler of the Wind” was launching, the “Father of Blaze” had defected to the opposing side?
“Man, at this crucial moment, Randall goes to the other side?”
“Would this be considered betrayal? /dog head”
“NetDragon: We were ready to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?”
“So what’s going on here? When exactly did Randall resign? Can ‘Blaze 3’ still maintain its previous standard? Don’t scare me!”
“I watched Randall’s interview, he seems like a responsible person. He probably completed ‘Blaze 3’ before resigning, right?”
“@Randall, what’s going on? Why did you resign? Did NetDragon do something wrong?”
“@NetDragon, come out and explain!”
Of course, Randall didn’t respond, as he was driving home at the time.
Although it was still early, he was worried about Little Chun being at home alone. All he could think about was rushing home to see his girlfriend.
As for NetDragon? Chief Planner Henry, with a dark face, went straight to the Public Relations Department, found Gary, and asked him to quickly figure out how to control the direction of public opinion on the internet, so as not to bring any negative impact to the launch of ‘Blaze 3’.
Gary was filled with curse words, wanting to spray them all over the shameless man in front of him.
You just want to gain attention for ‘Blaze 3’ and reap the benefits, but you never thought about Randall’s possible reaction?
When Henry came up with the idea of gaining attention, Gary had already thought about the uncertainties that Randall might cause. However, since Randall didn’t give any reason for his resignation, Gary didn’t know that Randall would go to Dream Cloud Studio, causing the current problematic situation.
Before they could even come to a conclusion, the wind direction on the internet changed once again.
The beloved “bump” of countless netizens—Princess Camille Victoria appeared!
A short video of Camille Victoria’s appearance quickly topped the Hot Searches at an alarming speed.
The video was brief, filmed by Princess’s best friend Shuihua, who registered a new account to post it in order not to reveal her identity.
The content of the video was simple:
Shuihua stood behind the camera, only showing a finger pointing at Camille Victoria, jealously said, “She’s now fixated on the game and has no eyes for
The lens moved to show Camille Victoria’s game feed of “Traveler of the Wind” on an external display, and then whispered, “What do you think, if I sneak up right now and pinch her face, will she notice?”
As she spoke, she tiptoed slowly toward the engrossed Camille Victoria, and then—
The video suddenly ended!
At first, not many people saw the video from this unknown account. However, esports professional player ‘Lance’ re-tweeted the video.
“Some people have already gotten the devices early, while I’m still looking on with envy. Lemon juice falling from the corner of my eye…”
Many players were surprised that someone had received a Virtual Reality Device early, expressing envy, jealousy, and hatred. They also wanted to know who had such a divine connection.
Then, someone immediately noticed it was Princess Camille Victoria.
It turned into a big deal! Almost instantly, the “Mommy fans” of the Princess arrived on the scene. The video’s likes, comments, and shares skyrocketed, with tens of thousands of increases with each refresh.
As usual, they first praised the Princess for her consistent beauty and cuteness; then discussed what headband she was wearing and what game she was playing; afterward, they envied the girl who shot the video, wishing they could switch places with her…
In short, they could find countless topics to discuss from this brief video.
And then, they parachuted into the Hot Searches!
This combat power was not on the same level at all!
The number of Camille Victoria’s ‘Mommy fans” alone was probably more than the total number of gamers in Daxia, not to mention just the players of the ‘Blaze’ series!
Gary stopped thinking.
From now on, the direction of the topic was out of their control.
No matter if Henry wanted to struggle or not, he had already decided to let go.
Let fate decide!
