Chapter 376: Chapter 366: Enjoying the Excitement Regardless of the Severity

What are the American game companies waiting for?
They want to ask what Cloud Dream is waiting for!
It’s not just American game companies; in a few hours, European game companies will also be asking the same question—
“What on earth is Cloud Dream waiting for?”
They have sent countless emails, but they haven’t received a single positive response, not even for invitations to industry conferences or exhibitions.
All they get are standardized replies: “Thank you very much for your letter. Unfortunately, we do not have any plans at the moment, but we look forward to the possibility of cooperation in the future.”
Seeing how Cloud Dream is not making money, they are in even more of a hurry than Cloud Dream itself!
Some companies simply want to ride on Cloud Dream’s coattails and make a fortune.
Others want to bring Cloud Dream’s technology and production lines into their own country as soon as possible.
Otherwise, with Cloud Dream remaining solely in Daxia, obtaining their technology is incredibly difficult.
It used to take great effort to get just a few consoles, and although more consoles have become available and it has become easier to obtain them,
they soon discovered that it is almost impossible to reverse-engineer the core technology with only the consoles.
And so, quite naturally, these people have set their sights on the production lines.
But Cloud Dream simply ignores them, leaving them with no choice.
Now that the production lines have spread to Izumo, Baekje, and Southeast Asian countries, they see hope once again!
Of course, Izumo, Baekje, and Southeast Asian countries are still within the sphere of influence of Daxia. Although it is easier to engage in small-scale activities there than in Daxia itself, it is still limited.
It would be best to let Cloud Dream enter their own countries first. Once Cloud Dream enters their territory, they will naturally have more room for maneuver.
Unfortunately, whether it’s the ingrained notions from his previous life or the long history of war and confrontation in this life, Lincoln is always wary of America and Europe.
Moving towards globalization is inevitable.
But before that, they must make sure they are strong enough.
And, take all possible precautions!
At least for now, Lincoln is not in a hurry.
He founded Cloud Dream only four months ago, and he himself is already financially free, not lacking anything.
As for creating a huge virtual world, that is a “lifelong career,” and his life has only just begun, so there is no need for impatience.
He will not be blinded by greed, nor will he make hasty decisions due to impatience, naturally avoiding most traps.
Why not be ruthless while being desireless?
Just like now, as news of Cloud Dream going global stirs up countless people’s hearts and minds around the world, he is not paying any attention to the repercussions.
Only when Mavis mentioned it did he simply reply, “Oh.”
He spent the entire Saturday afternoon at home, chatting idly with Princess Camille Victoria and petting the dog.
Little Princess was still brought by Jordan this time, wearing the brooch Lincoln gave her on her collar. She was overjoyed when she received the Little Milkshake.
Since their last meeting, Little Milkshake has grown a lot.
Although Lincoln has said she can always come to play with Milkshake, the little girl is both shy and not very assertive. Apart from the times Lincoln invited her, she has only come twice.
But Little Milkshake is very smart, gentle, and has a good impression of Princess Camille Victoria’s scent from a young age, so no matter how long they are apart, she will always take the initiative to be close to her.
Camille Victoria happily played with Little Milkshake for a long time—the only regret being that they couldn’t venture outside and run around in the community for a more freeing experience.
Well, that is the only regret on the surface.
As for deep down…
She realized that Lincoln didn’t understand the meaning behind her jade pendant gift, which is a bit regretful for her.
Of course, while feeling regretful, she also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Like this, they continued to play until the evening when the princess said goodbye to Lincoln and left with Jordan.
That night, she would log into the virtual world to practice singing with her teacher.
Now that “Speed Chase” has been officially released, the concert venue has also been prepared.
Just waiting for the game’s initial heat to show signs of decline, they will announce the news of Alex’s Night City concert and bring the heat back up!
To maximize publicity.
Princess Camille Victoria believes, based on her experience—mainly from similar games like “Assassins’ Alliance”—that the first decline in “Speed Chase” will likely occur one or two days after the first completion results.
After that, the next surge in heat will only happen when players create another eye-catching activity, usually when a large number of players complete the game’s main storyline and begin to explore the game world comprehensively.
So there are not many days left until the concert.
In Camille Victoria’s heart, apart from nervousness, there is also a faint expectation.
The next morning, at exactly 8 a.m. local time, Izumo and Baekje simultaneously launched 1 million [Mirage 2.0] consoles.
And then they were all sold out within 5 minutes.
This was almost within everyone’s expectations.
Even without leveraging the tremendous advantage of virtual reality game consoles in attracting new players, the domestic gamers in both countries alone could absorb one to two million consoles.
According to their own assessments, the ultimate sales target is set at 50 million.
The number of gamers in their own countries naturally cannot reach this figure.
