Chapter 667: Chapter 634: Does Cloud Dream Really Have a Review Process??
Unfortunately, Cloud Dream’s products are not readily available for purchase.
Moreover, everyone is still clueless about the features of this new game cabin.
What features does the game cabin have?
No idea.
When will it be released for sale? And how much will it cost?
Still no idea.
There’s absolutely no information.
On the event page’s reward column, there’s only the name “Game Cabin,” nothing else – not even a photo. It’s like the ultimate tease.
However, unlike when Lincoln uploaded the video announcing that he would create “epoch-making human-computer interaction technology” in a week and the entire internet mocked him,
now the whole internet is eagerly anticipating the release of this new product, even overseas.
[Survival Challenge] is a global event.
As the headquarters of Cloud Dream, Daxia is bound to receive special treatment: the latest news, fully synchronized updates, the most comprehensive player community, smooth feedback channels – and they can even wait directly outside the company’s headquarters (although no such incidents have happened yet).
But there are also drawbacks: most of the events organized by Cloud Dream are open to all players.
In other words – players from around the world can join in.
As a result, Daxia players have to face fiercer competition if they want to achieve good results.
Many overseas game companies that cooperate with Cloud Dream can hold events that only involve their domestic players, resulting in significantly less competition.
Of course, the value of prizes provided by these companies cannot be compared to those offered by Cloud Dream.
Especially when it comes to virtual world prizes – Cloud Dream has always been stingy in that regard.
Often, Lincoln would prefer to give out expensive real-life rewards, or even large amounts of cash, rather than distributing virtual world items.
This is completely different from other game companies.
In any case, a significant number of winners in this [Survival Challenge] come from overseas.
Just the German players who dropped out of the T1 War Zone managed to win a whopping 18 reward quotas in the “survival time” challenge alone.
Unfortunately, they didn’t secure any first, second, or third place prizes.
— These three spots were all taken by the hardworking and experienced Daxia players, who had been battling against Cloud Dream’s anti-addiction system.
Of the nearly 3 million players in Germany, only two teams – actually, two teams of muscular men – managed to win eight game cabin rewards by being the first to defeat the Queen Bee and the Dark Magician in expert mode.
That’s a narrow win over France’s four game cabins!
British players are angry.
Because they actually had two BOSS first kills, one more than the French players.
But in the end, due to one being a 2-player team and the other being a lone wolf, they could only secure three game cabins – one less than France!
Who could ever accept that?!
Other countries like Izumo, Annan, and Australia also had varying degrees of success.
As a result, as soon as the game cabin rewards were announced, players from many countries noticed and it quickly sparked a heated discussion and speculation about the cabin’s features.
Lincoln’s mobile phone also became busy in an instant.
Camille Victoria, Super Tomato, and Yi all came over to ask for news – although none of them won a game cabin.
Yi even shamelessly asked Lincoln if there were any “special channels” to get him two game cabins.
Yes, not “one” cabin, but “two”.
Lincoln was speechless.
Thomas, the leader of the black fans Lincoln had encountered in Chang’an, also showed up and shamelessly asked, “Idol, I’ve been so focused on finding you this week that I haven’t even had time to play Terraria. Don’t you owe me a game cabin as compensation?”
To which Lincoln’s response was very straightforward: “Get lost”.
Not only players and anchors, but also reporter Zoe, singer Alex, and even the head of Cloud Dream’s live streaming department, Leander, and Liang Tian who was busy organizing more experience stores, all came over to apply for game cabins for “business purposes”…
Oh, Cheryl came too, also asking for a game cabin for “business purposes”.
Lincoln looked puzzled: “What kind of ‘business’ could all you employees of a single department need a game cabin for?”
This girl actually answered without thinking, “Live streaming unboxing! If other people can cash in on this trend, why can’t we?”
Lincoln was speechless for a moment, but agreed in the end.
After all, she was a company veteran, and he had to give her some face.
Besides, he wouldn’t have to do it by hand, the assembly line would handle it.
— Just this event alone would be giving away hundreds of game cabins, of course, it wouldn’t be possible to rely on him to do it by hand.
Cheryl’s application was accepted, and the messages on his mobile phone kept pouring in. Employees were discussing it in the company chat group, expecting their boss to say something like “upgrade the company’s office equipment” or something like that…
Lincoln casually tossed his mobile phone aside and said, “Mavis, help me keep an eye on the messages. If it’s not very important, just leave it for now, I’m too lazy to read them.”
“Alright.” Mavis nodded, fluttering onto the bed and lying on the covers to play with Lincoln’s mobile phone.
Of course, that was just an illusion of the visual signal.
Lincoln didn’t care, and likewise threw himself onto the bed, spacing out next to Mavis.
Today, they finished their journey in Chang’an, and upon the players’ sincere request (“Please, just hurry up and get back to work!”), the Cloud Dream development team finally boarded a plane to leave Chang’an, full of enthusiasm to return to Xiajing City for work.
And then, they welcomed a weekend off.
Lincoln didn’t do anything particularly tiring, but even if he didn’t do anything, simply the travel itself had left him exhausted.
Now he was dealing with the headache caused by the game cabin, he had no interest in looking at the final list of participants for the Battlefield Peak War. After spacing out for a while, he rolled over and fell into a drowsy sleep.
Mavis looked at the sleeping Lincoln, reaching out her hand to tuck in his blanket, but her hand passed right through the real blanket.
Mavis pouted unhappily, looked at the window, and the curtains slowly drew themselves closed.
In the end, with a soft “click,” the bedroom plunged into darkness.
Lights out, sleep.

Lincoln had gone to bed early.
However, the players couldn’t sleep at all, with the excitement around the game cabins not yet over, and an even bigger treat was about to follow.
That evening, Super Tomato miraculously freed up a lot of time to visit “My World” and make final touches to the Redstone Challenge engineering work.
— Tonight at 12 o’clock is the deadline for registration for participating in the competition.
The Forbidden City Building Group had been completed long ago, and all that was left was the issue of the erotic redstone figures.
Since the last time the vote was held, both “registration for participation” and “reporting oneself” were carried out at the same time, which directly led to amendments being made.
Not only did the registration fail, but in the erotic redstone images, screens with a small amount of nudity were directly turned into blank spaces, and Cloud Dream required rectification.
So, Super Tomato’s daily live streaming included a regular check of the “erotic” images, to avoid being asked for amendments by Cloud Dream.
At the same time, because the “inspection” was full of danger and even a slight carelessness posed the risk of the live streaming room being shut down, Super Tomato would always pause the live streaming first, check things out in the black screen state, and then turn the live streaming back on once it was determined to be safe.
If the black screen time exceeded 10 minutes, it meant that someone couldn’t help themselves and went too far with their drawing.
At that point, a large number of fans would stop whatever they were doing and rush into World No. 61 to see the scene while the erotic images were still there.
And such incidents occurred time and time again.
Someone even deliberately drew some outrageous erotic images just before Super Tomato arrived, to give him a surprise.
This led to the black screen time having to be extended.
This had already become a regular segment in Super Tomato’s live streaming room, and the audience could enjoy the fun of blind-box opening every day.
However, tonight, this joy was about to come to an end.
Because the submission time for the competition had arrived.
Super Tomato didn’t dare to submit at 12 o’clock—what if the review didn’t pass and it was returned for modification?
At 8 o’clock in the evening, he submitted the work with the mental preparation of it being returned for modification.
But to his surprise, the review didn’t stall, and the work was directly submitted successfully!
“What the hell? It passed on the first try!?” Super Tomato was dumbfounded.
Among these images, there were even ones created by troll fans, depicting a cartoon version of Yi and a gender-swapped Yelang, touching each other’s breasts!
This was able to pass the review directly??
Do you guys at Cloud Dream really conduct reviews??
