Chapter 802: Chapter 761: WE NEED BAFANG!
But it’s not entirely the netizens’ fault.
If all the magical creatures that appeared were adult forms, then with the knowledge of traditional culture in Daxia, even if they couldn’t recognize them all, they would be able to identify three or four of them.
If this was posted online, the real identity would be “locked” in an instant.
But the problem is: the first wave of creatures released were all juvenile forms of these ancient mythical beasts, and all had elements of artistic creation, making them all cute and not easy to recognize.
The [dragon sparrow] was recognized because Leo sketched it right away.
Otherwise, even Leo himself wouldn’t recognize it.
However, Leo’s sketch did not alleviate the netizens’ thirst for magical creatures.
Instead, it was like having a sour plum soup as an appetizer when starving, which only made them hungrier!
Many people rushed to Lincoln and Journey Prosthetics’ accounts, hoping they could provide more information.
But Lincoln was on vacation, and so was Journey Prosthetics.
Moreover, this was originally Lincoln’s preheating campaign for “Pokémon” – the process of players seeking the truth is the process of building up heat, so they naturally wouldn’t reveal the answer so soon.
So the netizens could only return to Leo’s comment section, all calling out together –
“Boss, draw a few more!”
Leo listened to the netizens’ voices, quickly gathered her drawing tools, and began searching in the park.
And she did find one –
Just over 200 meters away, she saw a silly magical creature lying on the stone bridge’s railing.
It was a pure white, unblemished… little white tiger?
Leo found it intriguing. Instead of sketching it right away, she approached and waved, greeting the little white tiger.
The little white tiger shook its head; when Leo’s hand swung to one side, its head followed, looking adorable but a little dim-witted.
Leo couldn’t help but reach out to touch its head, and the little white tiger cooperatively shrank its neck, looking ready for Leo’s touch.
Unfortunately, her hand passed through the little white tiger, touching nothing but air.
Leo felt quite disappointed.
She stepped back, picked up her sketchbook, and began sketching the little white tiger.
She had already guessed the identity of the little white tiger to some extent –
It might be the legendary Beast of Fortune [White Luster].
It’s just that it hasn’t grown up yet, so it looks a bit naive.

On Dinosaur Island, Camille Victoria was leading Xiaomei and a large group of players as they attacked a giant Lianglong more than 20 meters high.
As an anchor, Camille Victoria naturally completed [Ancestors’ Glory] early on, but Xiaomei and the college students like Bandits were busy with final exams, so they couldn’t complete [Ancestors’ Glory] as soon as possible.
Now that the exams were finally over, they could relax and continue playing the game.
Camille Victoria had been thinking about Xiaomei’s [9/10] progress in the achievement, so she immediately took her to complete the achievement as soon as possible.
Soon, the Lianglong let out its last wail, collapsing heavily to the ground, surrounded by smoke and dust.
A few rays of light penetrated the smoke and dust, converging in front of the players who completed the achievement.
Xiaomei was one of them; she held up the achievement trophy in front of her, Diamond +1.
Of course, what was more important was that she received 10 companion pets at once –
[Conquer! Tame! Your military power has conquered these terrifying prehistoric creatures, who have chosen to entrust their offspring to you.]
[Dinosaur Summoner: You can summon the giant dinosaur cubs you’ve conquered to accompany you through some happy times.]
Xiaomei was interested in summoning a [Dragon King Whale Cub].
—This was the most impressive and difficult battle she had ever experienced.
For the achievement [Behemoth Slayer·Dragon King Whale], countless players dove into the water, where the massive Dragon King Whale swallowed them up like glutinous rice balls.
The scene was terrifying enough to make people wet themselves.
However, looking at the chubby and cute little Dragon King Whale swimming through the air and circling around her, Xiaomei felt it was totally worth it.
“So cute!”
“Right!” Camille Victoria was happy to see Xiaomei happy, “It will also give you an invitation letter, although it’s not very useful.”
Sure enough, after swimming around for two laps, the Dragon King Whale stopped in front of Xiaomei, its mouth holding a candy-colored invitation letter covered with doodles of magical creatures.
Xiaomei took the invitation letter, and read the name on the card—
“Pokémon invitation letter?”
Camille Victoria, standing next to her, had been frozen in place since she saw the invitation letter’s colors.
She remembered clearly that it was a black card!
When did the [Mysterious Invitation Letter] become a [Pokémon Invitation Letter]?
What is Pokémon??
Wasn’t Cloud Dream’s new game supposed to be “Chang’an”???
One question after another made Camille Victoria feel like her brain was about to overload.
She quickly took Xiaomei back to her virtual house and rummaged through her things to find the invitation letter — she had a bit of a hoarding habit, her house was full of various knickknacks.
After Connar moved in, even more items that Connar was interested in, or might need, were added.
It took quite a bit of work, but they finally found the invitation letter in the third drawer of the dressing table — thanks to Connar’s help.
Expectedly, the invitation letter had also turned into a [Pokémon Invitation Letter].
Camille Victoria had no choice but to accept the reality: Cloud Dream had once again developed a new game behind everyone’s backs.
The audience was also getting a bit out of control.
However, the reason for the chaos wasn’t Pokémon, but rather—
“Where’s ‘Chang’an’? What happened to my ‘Chang’an’?”
“How long has it been since Wu Di entered Chang’an? Anyone can just skip the queue, right?”
“Lincoln! What are you going to use to make up for what you owe us?”
…
Camille Victoria didn’t pay attention to the comments. She collected herself and looked at the system introduction for the invitation letter—
[Pokémon Invitation Letter]: With this invitation, and wearing the [Eight Sides] headset, you can get a taste of Pokémon’s gameplay ahead of time in the real world.
The introduction was simple and straightforward, but—
“Requires an [Eight Sides]? What do I do if I don’t have one?”
Camille Victoria was missing one leg, not blind or deaf, and she wasn’t directionally challenged. Why would she need an [Eight Sides]?
On the other hand, she had already purchased four limited edition [Journey Prosthetics]…
In the live broadcast room, the players also realized something:
“So the magical creatures that are being talked about online aren’t made by [Journey Prosthetics], but by Cloud Dream?”
“The new game isn’t in the virtual world, but in reality?”
“Buying new peripheral devices to play the game? Isn’t that a bit too expensive?”
…
Everyone was very interested in the new game.
However, if they had to spend 7499 yuan first to buy the peripherals, it made them hesitate to be interested…
Many players immediately fell into a dilemma.
For Camille Victoria, it was easier. She opened the panel, jumped to the external website, and placed an order online—it was considered an investment in the live broadcast.

[Cloud Dream’s real-world game “Pokémon” begins closed beta testing, requiring an invitation letter and [Eight Sides] headset to play.]
With Camille Victoria’s live broadcast room helping spread the word, this message also quickly propagated.
The number of orders for [Eight Sides] headsets soared in response!
—Even if they hadn’t received an invitation yet, many players were already placing orders for the devices in advance.
At the same time, the Cloud Dream Games Forum, Lincoln’s comment section, Journey Prosthetics’ comment section and private messages, were all filling up with the same phrase—
“WE NEED BAFANG!!”
(We need Eight Sides!!)
