Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 1146: Chapter 1048: Plain User Manual_1 Chapter 1146: Chapter 1048: Plain User Manual_1 The fire on Pandora was still blazing, but the players and netizens had shifted their attention elsewhere.

In half an hour, “Gravity” would officially be released, and all players would be rushing into space to start a new adventure.

Compared to the allure of space, Pandora’s big fire was clearly less appealing.

As expected, all the gaming areas on the live streaming platforms were once again dominated by “Gravity”.

Nearly every title on those platforms mentioned these four words.

Only the Star Mirror Live Broadcast Platform was going the other way.

The cover of their homepage was a pink-haired loli fishing.

Besides the countdown in the upper right corner of the screen, nothing suggested that she was also waiting for the release of “Gravity”.

However, this simple livestream of fishing, with the help of the homepage’s recommendation, skyrocketed to the first place in terms of site-wide popularity.

A group of netizens looked on in confusion as this mascot of Cloud Dream, who usually streamed on her own platform, had now chosen to stream on Star Mirror.

Many viewers curiously asked Mavis: “Did you have a fight with Lincoln?”

“Did Lincoln upset you?

Don’t worry, we’ll help you criticize him!”

Victoria also made her way over, applying to join Mavis while wanting to send her gifts and money.

However, she quickly realized: this live broadcast room could not receive gifts.

“A homepage big recommendation, but you can’t receive gifts?” Victoria was puzzled, this was the first time she had seen such a setup.

Soon, Mavis agreed to her application, and Victoria, along with Connar, went off to join Mavis in her game.

After a few exchanges, Victoria also figured out why Mavis came to livestream.

Then she tried to imagine Mavis bouncing around and dancing — which was simple for her, she just had to picture Mavis as the little chubby dragon Connar.

Just picturing this scene, Victoria couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

She firmly promised Mavis, “I will call on the audience to vote for you!”

Mavis thanked Victoria and then went fishing with these two people.

Such a monotonous live broadcast naturally couldn’t hold the position of the most popular.

Especially when Mavis wasn’t very active in interacting with the viewers, and she was indifferent to comments that tried to stir up a conflict between her and Lincoln, gradually she gave up the top spot — but still firmly stood among the top three.

The other streamers were not the same, they were all doing their best to create content.

Yi made a bold statement that could possibly get him disciplined: “Once the server is online, I will validate for you guys to see whether things will sag in the space!”

William: “If we have a chance, let’s try parachuting directly from space while skipping the main story procedure.

Pandora has succeeded, maybe ‘Gravity’ can too?”

Warehouse Bird: “First completion worldwide!

I’m back!

I have to get it this time!”

Sea King Xu Shenghan: “I don’t quite understand why we must return to Earth?

I don’t want to go back at all, I just want to fly to space!

How about we try landing on the moon?”

…

Streamers from everywhere were expressing their anticipation for Cloud Dream’s first space game.

In this regard, Mavis actually had a huge advantage.

After all, she was the only “insider”.

The players had noticed a long time ago that she appeared in the production list of all Cloud Dream games — at first she used [Dream] to cover it, later she simply used [Mavis], not even attempting to disguise it anymore.

So, even if she was just simply fishing, many players in the live streaming room were guessing and trying to prompt Mavis to reveal more information.

Alas, Mavis kept her mouth shut.

She had caught a bucketful of fish and interacted many times with the viewers, but she didn’t reveal any news in advance.

Until the final minute of the countdown, when Victoria had returned to her virtual house to prepare, did Mavis stand up from her chair.

The viewers immediately got excited, thinking they would be able to see Mavis playing games live next.

But after Mavis lifted up the plastic bucket and poured all the caught fish back into the lake, she waved at the camera with a smile: “I was happy to see everyone today, see you next time if fate allows!”

As she finished this sentence, the countdown in the upper right corner of the live streaming room also hit zero.

Without a second’s delay, the live streaming room suddenly went dark.

The viewers paused for a moment, then the barrage of comments suddenly exploded:

“???”

“Are we kidding?!”

“Was she really just here for the countdown?!

She left as soon as the countdown ended?”

“A main homepage recommendation, just to recommend fishing?!

So freaking original!

Too goddamn original!”

“So capricious!

Way too capricious!”

“I’m already a Mavis fan!

When’s the next live stream?”

…

Lincoln watched the chaotic live streaming room after Mavis’s departure and he was also rendered speechless.

But he didn’t say anything, he just ruffled Mavis’s pink head, then started paying attention to the players’ activities.

*

The first thing the players noticed was: the price of “Gravity” was 280 dollars.

Upon seeing the price, not only did the players not get excited, they felt somewhat disappointed.

Because this indicated that the scale of “Gravity” wasn’t that big, they might not find the game addictive enough.

But the game had already started.

Everyone logged in quickly, and these thoughts flashed by momentarily.

Then came the opening that once shocked every beta tester — the view of the Earth from a very close planetary perspective, slowly orbiting the Earth for a full week, to see the full view of our home planet.

For anyone who has never been to space, this was an unprecedented shock!

Many people were immersed in it, watching the Earth fly round and round, but they just couldn’t get enough of it.

Yi was alright, after all, he had seen this opening before.

He quickly entered the game officially; then, ignoring the voices of his teammates and ground command center in his headphones, as well as the equipment in front of him that needed to be repaired, he loosened the safety rope and began to sway his body up and down.

The online viewers were stunned at first, but quickly realized —

Yi, this tough guy, was not joking when he said he was going to test whether “peepee” would be affected by gravity in space!

And the answer came quickly —

“Brothers, it really isn’t affected by gravity!”

“I hadn’t noticed before, but now that I look closer, it’s really amazing.”

“Listen to me, you guys have to try this!”

“I’ve never felt as deeply as I do now what it means to be a free man!”

Many viewers opened their mouths in shock:

“Are you serious?!”

“No need to say any more; you have already deeply felt your freedom!”

“Awesome!

Saying and doing, you’re a real man.”

“Since that’s the case… sorry anchor!

I’m going to watch the busty girl!”

…

At the same time, Sea King Xu Shenghan, who had just released the statement “landing on the Moon,” was at a loss looking at the equipment in front of him.

The task prompt that popped up in front of him required him to restart the communication card module.

But with his feet locked on the robotic arm, his body suspended in space, the Earth above his head that made him feel a little afraid of huge objects, and a large barrel-shaped spacecraft lying on its side, he completely lost his sense of direction, as if the world was spinning, and he wanted to grab something to stabilize himself.

As for the line of equipment pulled out from the spacecraft in front of him, it just added to his confusion.

After thinking about it, he randomly chose a button, but he couldn’t press it down even after pressing it several times.

He felt that without the constraint of gravity, the things in his stomach began to float, making him feel nauseous, and his body felt cold, with no strength in his hands and feet.

So he tried to steady his body and used all his strength to press down.

Finally, with his effort —

“Snap!”

The board in front of him broke open entirely from the button’s location.

“?”

Xu Shenghan was stunned.

The voice of the command center immediately rang in his headphones:

“Doctor Xu, the whole signal board of the communication card in area C has lost its signal.

Is there any problem?”

“Um…” Xu Shenghan hesitated for a moment, but still answered truthfully, “It…broke.”

“What?” A confused voice came from the headphones, “Xiajing…

I don’t understand.”

“That is, it broke entirely from the middle.”

There was laughter in the live-streaming room, and Xu Shenghan’s heart was heavy.

After a few moments of silence in his headphones, the voice came again: “Doctor Xu, please confirm, is there a possibility of repair?”

“I think there should be none.”

“Then, Doctor Xu, please replace the entire communication card module.”

Xu Shenghan was a bit puzzled; how to replace it?

I don’t know how?

Fortunately, a system prompt appeared at this moment — a tool on his right tool table began to glow faintly.

Xu Shenghan pulled it out and found that it looked exactly like the broken communication card.

Obviously, it was a spare part for replacement.

What’s more considerate was: along with this brand-new communication card, what was pulled out with it was an instruction manual.

Xu Shenghan opened the instruction manual with a bewildered look, and found that it had no fancy or filler elements —

It was really a simple and unadorned instruction manual.

But looking at the guide, Xu Shenghan felt like his mind was about to explode:

“What the hell?!”

“They want me to learn and install now!?!?”
