Chapter 651: Chapter 618: The Great Strike Achieves a Perfect Victory!
Mr. Renee Buri was also extremely excited.
Because Cloud Dream adhered to its promise, as soon as they started work on Monday morning, they initiated the collaboration meeting and quickly completed the signing of the cooperation agreement without any delay.
Cloud Dream’s terms remained the same, while the Keli Buli Game Company gave up its previous demand to “co-manage player data with Cloud Dream.”
But Renee Buri also saw the light.
If Cloud Dream didn’t want to share data, so be it. The Keli Buli Game Company could simply organize some events to give out benefits to players and let them register their own information.
With the cooperation of Cloud Dream, they naturally gained the qualification to hold various game events in the virtual world. As long as they were willing to spend money, they could still obtain the data by making a detour.
Even the content of the events was already planned, which would be the next step he would discuss with Cloud Dream after the cooperation was established:
On behalf of the Berlin City Hall, invite Cloud Dream to build a [Virtual Berlin] in the virtual world!
Yes, after the German Federal Network Security Bureau’s meeting, the preliminary decision was to proceed on three fronts simultaneously.
Not only should they invest in domestic virtual reality technology research to achieve a technological breakthrough as soon as possible, but they should also maintain a close relationship with Cloud Dream.
However, this close relationship should consist of both cooperation and restraint, while maintaining a good sense of balance.
As for how to grasp this balance, that would depend on the skills of these professional politicians.
The invitation to [Virtual Berlin] is the first step.
The core is to build a closer relationship but also to be involved, which invovles the other two intentions.
Future cooperation may also follow this pattern: pulling closer on the overall direction, but small details are full of speculation and testing.
However, the invitation to the [Virtual Berlin] project is still worth discussing.
This is what Lincoln had planned to do. Now that the Berlin City Hall has taken the initiative to approach, it will definitely facilitate a lot.
But they couldn’t just agree on it right away, especially not turning into a relationship between Party A and Party B.
Luckily, there is still plenty of time to see how the talks go and gain a clearer understanding of the other party’s needs and ideas.
If it’s acceptable, they could just take advantage of it; if not, it doesn’t matter.
At worst, they could just brush off official Berlin, pull out several groups from the [Urban Construction Department], send them to Berlin for a month-long stay, and then rent a big house over there, constructing [Virtual Berlin] based on tourists’ stereotypes.
After all, what Lincoln wanted was just to build a sightseeing city for players and had no pursuit of reflecting German culture and history.
In this regard, stereotypes work quite well.
After all, the same city often looks more beautiful in the eyes of tourists than in the eyes of locals.

As soon as the Keli Buli Game Company and Cloud Dream officially signed the agreement, they announced it on their country’s social media immediately.
The construction schedule for Berlin’s server center was also announced at the same time.
The German player community immediately burst into cheers and excitement.
Carl, who was in the process of writing his second “Grand strike manifesto” and eagerly preparing to organize a second national strike, looked at half of the manifesto he had written, glanced at the announcement from the Keli Buli Game Company, and regretfully stopped his writing.
Instead, he posted a simple summary of the grand strike—
[Thank you for everyone’s contribution! The grand strike has achieved perfect success!
Please always remember that as citizens of our nation, we always have the right to express our opinions and pursue a happy life!]
Under Carl’s summary, countless players rejoiced:
“Once the server is built, it will be time for us to reclaim our T1 War Zone status!”
“Reclaim T1 and defeat the rest of the world!”
“I don’t mind T1 or T2 that much, but being stepped on by France, who can bear that?!”
…
The ones who expressed their opinions the most were often players of Battlefield.
This was not only because “Battlefield” had the most players in Germany, but also because in this kind of shooting game, victory or defeat often happened in an instant, the perception of network speed was the most sensitive, and the impact was also the greatest.
For French players with servers, and German players without servers, if both people were to ride horses and fight with cold weapons, unless one of them was a strong man like Xu Chun, the tiny delay on the Internet would be almost unnoticeable.
Only in high-intensity hot weapon games like “Battlefield” would the difference be so obvious.
That was also why in “Terraria”‘s expert mode BOSS competition, German players’ performance was far behind Daxia, but very few people stubbornly claimed it was due to internet speed.
The “victory statement” issued by Carl sparked quite a bit of excitement.
But by noon, the excitement slowly died down.
After all, the server center was just announced, and according to the schedule, the progress was still very, very fast, with a target even set before Christmas Eve.
—Germans had never seen such an outrageous speed.
But ultimately, it’s not happening now, and it’s impossible to catch up with this weekend’s [Peak War].
So everyone got excited for a bit, but afterward, they continued to play as usual. Those who had already switched to “My World” or “Terraria” were not going to return to “Battlefield” just because of the announcement.
Especially now that “Terraria” hasn’t been conquered yet, and the competition is still fierce.
—The progress of the global players is still at the Wall of Flesh.
However, after a night, core players gradually defeated the Wall of Flesh and are now busy collecting stronger weapons and equipment to challenge other BOSSes in Hard Mode.
But everyone found that the difficulty of the game suddenly increased in Hard Mode, and if they were careless, they would be shattered by monsters, and the speed of strategy was inevitably slower.
Many people even felt stuck at this stage:
Places that used to be as easy as walking on flat ground, now simply couldn’t be reached anymore.
Unable to go, they couldn’t become stronger, and if they couldn’t become stronger, they were stuck in place.
As a result, many people on the forum began to persuade: “Don’t be in a hurry to kill the flesh mountain without enough preparation, otherwise it will be very difficult.”
This also led to another impact: players who previously wanted to clear the game in one breath were forced to take it easy and start studying aspects of the game outside of combat.
For example, building, planting, fishing, fashion, dyeing, and the complex triangular relationships between NPCs, etc…
And the trend of streamers drinking the [Elixir of Gender Swap] has also mysteriously reversed from abroad back to Daxia.
At first, both Yelang and Yi felt that this was a very embarrassing and shameful thing.
But after a tour in Europe, the situation unknowingly changed—
Seeing that the European streamers were very open about drinking the potion and changing their gender, as if they were playing a regular game item, the audience didn’t take it seriously and their mentality gradually changed.
Many streamers also began to go with the flow, drinking the potion at the beginning of their broadcasts, and then broadcasting after their transformation.
It’s like men playing female characters in PC games, and women playing male characters, it becomes an entertaining activity.
It even became a trend for a while.
Yesterday, Camille Victoria also tried it once, turning into a muscular man after drinking the potion.
While imitating Mr.Bodybuilder’s poses, she told her fans in the live broadcast room, “Call me husband!”
She even found a book called “How to Flirt with Girls” and told half an hour of cheesy lines to her massive female fan base.
The audience in the live broadcast room was overwhelmed with laughter, fully demonstrating what it means to have an “explosive show effect.”
The related video also soared in views, now ranking second only to “Ayi’s Fantasy Journey.”
As for the similarly explosive show “Gua·Lang·Yi | Actually a Story of Three People, But I Don’t Deserve a Name,” it was restricted by the platform due to the excessively hot scene of Yi and Yelang “groping each other’s chest”…
As a result, Camille Victoria’s video surpassed it.
But let’s talk about the domestic situation in Daxia later, let’s get back to the main topic for now.
[German players go on strike and succeed, Cloud Dream Berlin server center construction is imminent] – the impact of this news is not limited to Germany.
In France and the United Kingdom, the impact is also enormous!
