Chapter 369: Chapter 360: Boss, why don’t you hide for a few days? _2
Translator: 549690339
“Do you think someone might smash the boss’s home windows?”
“How is that possible? We don’t even know where the boss lives, how would the players know?”
“Hard to say! Who knows if the boss’s neighbors also play ‘Speed Chase’?”
“That could indeed be a problem, maybe we should suggest for the boss to stay at the company for a few days?”
“Nonsense! The company is quite easy to locate, it’s best he hides somewhere for a few days…”
In the virtual world, Lincoln watched these chats live-streamed by Mavis, dumbfounded.
He indeed received a message from Samuel: “Boss, maybe you should hide somewhere for a few days?”
The current situation was indeed a bit beyond his expectation.
Lincoln thought the players would just vent their anger and be done with it.
Who would have anticipated this continuous onslaught!
Given the current trend, when players get off work or finish school in the evening, there will be a huge influx of people logging into the game, doesn’t that mean——
at least another round of harsh criticism awaits him?
Also, people have started to send kitchen knives, who knows if someone will take even more extreme measures, it is really hard to say…
This won’t do!
Lincoln finally felt some urgency.
“Mavis, you play for a while by yourself, I have some things to take care of offline.”
“Oh.” Mavis replied softly, “Master, be careful!”
Lincoln was speechless and the flicked Mavis’s smooth forehead.
Mavis covered her forehead with both hands, and said a bit aggrieved: “Mavis didn’t make it up! There are people online saying that they want to smash our windows, and even hire someone to splash paint at our door.”
This statement caused black lines to form on Lincoln’s forehead.
When others vented their anger on him and splashed paint on his office door, it was indeed refreshing.
But being on the receiving end of paint-splashing was a whole different matter!
He didn’t hesitate and quickly logged off!
First, going to chat with Yue Pengju, then with Samuel, and finally with Cheryl.
In the evening, Shuihua struggled through the school day and sprinted all the way home.
Now she could run all the way home without getting winded!
All thanks to the game!
She still ate very fast, which her parents have gotten used to.
Mom was always worried she wasn’t eating enough and had gotten used to preparing extra midnight snacks for her.
But just as she ran back to her bedroom, ready to go online, her mobile phone suddenly rang.
The call display showed “Lance”.
Shuihua casually picked up the phone: “Hello? What is it?”
Lance hesitated a bit before saying, “Well, there’s some news about ‘Speed Chase’, I thought about it, and I think I should tell you…”
“NO! Shut it!” Shuihua didn’t hesitate to stop him, “If you dare spoil it for me, you’re done for! I haven’t gone online all day just to avoid spoilers! I’m about to log in now! If you dare spoil it for me, you’re really done for!”
“Ah, I understand, but…” Lance still wanted to say something.
“No buts!” Shuihua again interrupted him: “That’s it! There’s limited time, I’ll hang up now! We have to win the game tomorrow!”
Shuihua spoke rapidly, quickly ended the call, and didn’t give Lance the chance to spoil it for her.
“Beep beep beep ”
Lance heard the busy signal, put down the phone, looked at the phone in his hand, thought for a moment, and then logged in to the virtual world.
If Shuihua gets upset or angry later, he can at least try to comfort her.
Shuihua, on the other hand, threw her phone aside, picked up her headband, and put it on.
Just as she was about to start the game, her cell phone rang again!
Shuihua was slightly annoyed, she thought it was Lance again. But when she picked up her phone and looked, she found it was her close friend, Camille Victoria.
“Hello? What’s up? Why are you calling at this hour?”
“Um, Shuihua.” There was a hint of hesitation in Princess’s voice on the other end, but she finally said, “Remember to hide the dog before you go to sleep.”
“Huh? What do you mean?” Shuihua was confused, “I don’t have a dog.”
“You’re going to play ‘Speed Chase,’ right?”
“Yes, how… Oh! You mean in the game!” Shuihua realized all at once, “Shut up! No spoilers!”
“I know, no spoilers, but…”
“Yes, yes, I got it, I’m hanging up now, we’ll talk later!” Shuihua quickly hung up the phone, then silenced it and threw it far away!
Then she fell back and said: “Start!”
“Beep beep”
Watching her phone still buzzing, Princess felt a bit uneasy.
She felt like she was witnessing a tragedy that was about to happen.
If Shuihua calls her to berate Lincoln later, what should she do…
After some thought, and finding no solution, Princess simply let go of her worries and logged in to the game herself.
Ever since being introduced to the fun of virtual reality games by Lincoln, she became completely hooked on this form of entertainment.
But she does have a clear preference.
She enjoys playing casual games like “Traveler of the Wind,” “Light Encounter,” and “Paradise,” and is happy to spend time grinding in those games.
But in “Assassins’ Alliance,” she only played the main storyline, and afterward, she only logs in to go shopping with Shuihua or mess around in the amusement park.
As for the violence and killing that others are enthusiastic about, she hardly participates.
Of course, if it’s violence and killing on the [Candy Track], that’s a different story – she loves it!
In short – gunfight games are work, casual games are life!
As she spoke, Princess had already logged into Night City. Once she opened her eyes, she picked up the platinum bracelet on the bedside table to attend Helen’s funeral.
This bracelet was also her creation.
Several beauticians, including her, produced dozens of different bracelets.
In the end, through employee voting at Cloud Dream, her design received the most votes.
She was elated for quite some time after that.
As for the funeral, she didn’t feel any sadness.
After all, she was also involved in designing the funeral…
Princess Camille Victoria calmly attended the entire funeral and continued the storyline without surprise.
It was only when she received the Little Milkshake that she felt a bit of happiness.
After all, she doesn’t often see Little Milkshake in reality.
Afterward, she began to imitate Camille Victoria, setting traps earnestly.
At eight-thirty that evening, Lincoln received a call from Camille.
“Hello?” Lincoln was a little confused.
“Lincoln! I’m so angry!”
“How could they do this to Milkshake!”
The voice of the Little Princess conveyed both her anger and her sense of injustice over the phone.
She was too focused on imitating Camille Victoria by setting traps to deal with the villains.
But she didn’t consider: just because Camille Victoria can do something doesn’t mean she can too.
As a result, she experienced her own tragedy…
When she had seen netizens denouncing Lincoln before, she had thought they were being a bit excessive. Now, she wanted to join them in reproaching him!
