Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 1224



Chapter 1224: Chapter 1111: A Sudden Concession_1 Chapter 1224: Chapter 1111: A Sudden Concession_1 Following the principle of “run after winning,” Lincoln was determined not to give Fred a chance to turn the tables.

After leaving all the development documents and technical backups, he quickly bolted.

Even when Fred raised the stakes to “when we lose, I’ll dress however you want for a week, if you lose, we’ll pretend the bet never happened”, Lincoln did not agree.

The remaining staff then began to experience and discuss this new gameplay developed by Lincoln.

There was still a way to go until this game play could be considered fully mature – after all, Lincoln only had half a day, it couldn’t possibly be flawless.

But with a boss leading the way and employees perfecting the plan, this was nothing unusual.

Besides, this gameplay already had a framework and outline which is much better than only leaving a few keywords and making the plot planner go crazy…

With less than an hour left, after everyone became familiar with Lincoln’s gameplay, they tried to replay several rounds.

The first round, 1 vs 10.

One [Fei Yi Shi], fighting against 10 [Transformed People] and [Mech Warriors].

——For easy communication, everyone temporarily assigned code names to the three lines of enhancement.

The result: The Fei Yi Shi was brutally beaten after sniping three people at long range and was almost beaten to a pulp.

Second round, switch positions, 1 vs 5.

Fei Yi Shi was beaten up again.

Third round, again switching, now it’s 1-on-1.

Fei Yi Shi, after being fully prepared, faced an even worse fate — being successfully ambushed by a transformed person and taken captive.

Fourth round, switch people, 1-on-1.

Fei Yi Shi was able to nip and duck the entire way, never appearing in front of a Mech Warrior, effortlessly crushing them without injury.

After several rounds of actual combat, everyone confirmed two things:

First: [Fei Yi Shi] is filled with uncertainty, with extremely high and low limits, making it very playable but also very difficult for beginners.

Second: The boss may not really be human.

After experiencing Fei Yi Shi’s combat, they were amazed at Learning’s level of control, thinking speed, information processing ability, immediate judgment, and instantaneous computing power!

Considering that it took him less than half a day to conceive, design, and practice this gameplay, it was even more outrageous!

Besides “not human”, they couldn’t think of any other adjective.

Afterward, they started discussing how to raise the lower limit of [Fei Yi Shi] and the upper limits of [Transformed People] and [Mech Warriors].

This is also one of Lincoln’s philosophies: if you find a certain class or gameplay to be very strong in a game, and it’s not because of a bug, instead of senselessly nerfing the strong one, it’s better to rationally strengthen the weaker one.

This is especially true for games with stand-alone properties.

Although it’s also seeking some kind of “balance”, the player’s feelings are completely different.

Watching the busy development team, a stealthy figure quietly disappeared from the development world of Cyber Chang’an.

5 minutes later, the Cloud Dream insider Cheryl posted a status update —

“Breaking news!

Our boss is very dissatisfied with the Cyber ‘Chang’an’ development team, and has thrashed the team members!

Just now!

A one-man show against 20!

It left the entire team questioning their lives!

During the conflict, the boss also got hit in the face with a brick, his entire face is bloody!

It’s too scary!”

——

Upon seeing this post, netizens were full of question marks.

They didn’t know whether to criticize Cheryl for daring to spread rumors about Lincoln, or criticize her for not putting her heart into it, even daring to concoct something as outrageous as 1 vs 20.

Some people guessed: Could this be a novel way of promotion?

Until Lincoln suddenly appeared in the comment section, asking Cheryl, “Are you this free?”

Cheryl was scared stiff.

Not because of Lincoln’s comment, but because Lincoln had suddenly come up behind her and asked her this question by tapping her shoulder.

“Is the game done yet?”

“Did you come up with a name yet?”

“Is the trailer finished yet?”

The onslaught of questions rendered Cheryl almost speechless.

All she could do was nod and say “soon, very soon”.

Lincoln shook his head, picked up the Silly Dog Milkshake from her, and headed back home with Mavis.

*

No one believed the idea of “Lincoln engaging in physical altercation with his subordinates”.

Because that very afternoon, someone filmed “Lincoln with a bloodied face from being hit by a brick” emerged from the company’s main gate, not a single hair harmed.

Players could only speculate: maybe the insider Ye Xiaoshe (Cheryl) was hiding some kind of “secret language” and wanted to sneakily pass on some secret information.

However, by the next morning, no one discussed this “rumour” anymore.

Because —

An astonishing piece of news broke out, instantly overshadowing all other hot topics!

#KinshasaMecha

The video that Henry showed Lincoln on Monday morning exploded in publicity one day later!

This was much later than Lincoln expected.

—He thought it would’ve blown up yesterday afternoon.

After all, this was about mech battles entering reality, taking place on the main streets of a nation’s capital and achieving crushing victory.

All elements were textbook study in virality.

The spread being delayed by a day was already shocking for Lincoln.

However, the moment it erupted, there was no hiding its heat.

Netizens from all countries were debating the combat abilities of mechs, discussing more possible modifications.

Some suggested that their countries should form mech armies, install them as soon as possible, boasting about their many hours of actual combat driving experience, boasting that they could drive better than the real-life pilot…

Fascinating discussions ensued.

Titan Manufacturing, who had long prepared for this, swiftly issued a statement, declaring that “weaponizing violates the user agreement”, is “in direct conflict with Titan Manufacturing’s pursuit of peace”, “refuses to provide any post-sales service, including maintenance for this mech”, and will “further restrict purchases of Medium Mechas”….

They made a long statement expressing their “lack of support” and “dissatisfaction”.

However, the actual penalty was just five words:

Your after-sales service is gone.

The only purpose of this declaration was to give netizens a new topic of discussion.

As a result, the heat of relevant discussions did not decrease but continued to rise.

Consequently, the sales of “Pacific Rim” and the number of real-time players also went up a notch.

This outrageous “ad” completely exceeded the development team’s expectations, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

In the game world of “Pacific Rim,” the previously lukewarm mid-small size mech battles, all of a sudden, received enthusiastic pursuit.

Before noon, “classic remake” videos appeared online in the night.

Many netizens and bloggers replicated the real-life mech and found similar street sceneries, asked friends to help recreate the battle.

It was almost an exact replica of the real thing.

By the afternoon, various “drama recreations” based on this battle began to pop up continually like mushrooms after a rain.

Everyone’s creative enthusiasm could not be suppressed!

In the end, an entirely unexpected impact emerged—

At 12:30 p.m.

the next day, which was 8:00 a.m.

in Persia, Cloud Dream received an official email from the Persian commerce department.

They expressed in the email: they hoped to discuss with Cloud Dream about lifting the ban on Mirage and the entry of the virtual world to Persia.

Lincoln was quite surprised when he saw the email.

He had some vague ideas about the server’s invasion of America, but he had no solution for Persia and was essentially in a state of giving up.

But now, Persia had taken the initiative to come over and talk about it!

It was a clear conciliatory signal.

But, why?

Why had their attitude changed so suddenly?

Lincoln was somewhat puzzled.

However, even though he couldn’t figure it out, since they had voluntarily reached out with an olive branch, he might as well accept it for now!
