_1 Chapter 1286: Chapter 1159: The dog teammate that is more terrifying than a pig teammate!

_1 Over the past few days, many players had tried out the intelligent teammates.

Cloud Dream can match online teammates for everyone, but some people, out of curiosity, social anxiety, or simply preferring to play alone, would still opt for the intelligent ones.

Even though some of these cats and dogs were intelligent and others were not, some were obedient while others were rebellious, everyone agreed on one thing: these creatures were truly intelligent!

You could easily forget that they were virtual cats and dogs, not real ones.

Because of how real they seemed, many players, despite being frustrated, could not bear to replace these teammates.

After all, discarding such lifelike cats and dogs felt like abandoning pets, and it distressed them.

Some also asked Victoria in her live broadcast room, “How can you bear to replace it?

Isn’t that like abandonment?”

However, Victoria didn’t share this psychological burden—

“If I really had such a stupid dog, I would drag it to the food market and butcher it the next day!”

Then she waved a cat paw at the dumb Golden Retriever, “Did you hear that, you stupid dog?

I’m talking about you!”

Woof woof woof!” (You’re the stupid dog!)

Victoria was fuming with anger.

She scratched it hard with a claw before taking it along on the elevator.

The live-streamer community laughed heartily, urging her to hurry up.

The next area was the [Sky Rail Platform] at the top of the elevator.

According to the [Jump Jump Joy—Puzzle-solving—Jump Jump Joy] cycle, it was time for Jump Jump Joy.

As expected, it was a shattered, collapsed platform that might probably collapse even more during the jumping process.

Players must traverse this dangerous area in the form of cats and dogs.

Locating the various hidden items and accessories here would increase the difficulty even more.

Over time, once safe locations would become dangerous, and the already shaky footholds would collapse, plunging into the small town of Huang Liang below.

In return, more valuable items began to appear in this area.

Here, the first mini jetpack for pets was available—with enough fuel left for a minute.

There was a cat-exclusive energy candy—dogs could technically eat it too, but it would only taste sweet and have no other effects.

Then there were spring boots—designed as a toy, it could indeed make you jump higher, but how high was random, and the direction was hard to control.

Misuse could make you jump out of the Safe Zone and fall from the sky.

Besides these three items, the remaining bells, tail knots, small scarves, and such were merely decorative trinkets.

Oh, no, the small scarf could also keep the cats warm in higher areas.

But there were better temperature-regulating tech items in high areas, much more efficient than the small scarf.

Of course, for Victoria, usefulness didn’t matter—these adorable trinkets were a must-have if available.

However, if she wanted to get her hands on these things, she had to face a huge obstacle—

Her Golden Retriever teammate.

“Awooo—”

A shaky marble tile suddenly collapsed, and the Golden Retriever disappeared from Victoria’s sight with a yelp and the crumbling stone…

“Fourth time!!!” Victoria’s forehead throbbed with rage, “The fourth time!!!”

The Development Team had been so considerate, granting three error allowances in each area—that is, the three big balloons that Victoria had seen when the Golden Retriever failed to jump on the mushroom at the beginning.

The balloons could reel the Golden Retriever back up, but one would explode each time it was used.

However, after entering the Sky Rail Platform, in less than 10 minutes, this idiot dog had used up all three chances!

It has even failed for the fourth time now!

— Among these attempts, one of them occurred while Victoria was trying to figure out how to switch tracks to extend the broken rail to a higher platform.

But the moment she found a clue, the idiot dog sniffing and biting around behind her probably bit onto something, causing an equipment malfunction.

A huge electrical arc burst forth, electrocuting Victoria on the spot.

When she revived at the checkpoint, she despaired to find: her beautiful golden fur was all standing on end, looking like an electrified sea urchin from afar, and she couldn’t even smooth it down!

Victoria was on the verge of exploding in anger.

But her viewers were nearly dying of laughter.

Unlike Victoria’s entertainment-focused live stream, the renowned gamer Warehouse Bird, along with his familiar opponents, also began to make their moves.

[Two Cats Walk Together], [Lone Brave Cat], and [Cats and Dogs Together], all of them were attempting to claim the first completion.

Even some hard-core live streamers have announced that their live stream content for the next month would all be practicing speedrunning “Homecoming”.

After all, the genre of “Homecoming” is extremely suited for speedrunning!

Choice of routes, selection of items, honing of skills, up to the mental challenge…

there were tremendous opportunities for improvement in all aspects.

Warehouse Bird was currently playing in the mode [Lone Brave Cat], busily rushing on his journey alone.

After changing the mode, even if it’s the same map, the routes would have to be adjusted – since some sections where the dog was required, ones that need mutual cooperation, as well as sections for finding items, all required detouring.

To maximize the value of the dog, for the item hiding part, Cheryl employed a very rustic random point technology from cloud dream.

—Speaking of which, this execution was originally created by Lincoln to mess with the players’ emotions in “Assassins’ Alliance”.

After numerous refinements and upgrades, it has now become very mature.

However, generally speaking, a cat going solo is somewhat easier compared to a cat paired with a dog.

Adding the fact that Warehouse Bird had already planned the route two days earlier, he was conserving his energy.

He would sprint at full speed for 15 seconds, then slow down to recover for 5 seconds before resuming his sprint.

He was zipping along the way.

After being guided in her livestream by her senior schoolgirl, Victoria, for a while, Queenie has successfully amassed a group of viewers, thus assuring a somewhat stable side gig.

She even got to know another famous live-streamer from Izumo – Crying Bag Nandong.

Upon seeing Victoria was still being tortured by the dog, even though it was definitely miserable, but given the excellent viewer response, Queenie didn’t interrupt Victoria.

Instead, she teamed up with Nandong.

That’s not just any young girl – that’s a cute kitty girl!

For the audiences, a livestream by two cute girls was also incredibly appealing!

…

Two hours after “Homecoming” was released, it almost dominated the gaming sections of all global live-streaming platforms, even spilling over to the talk shows section, dance area, music area…

“A Quiet Place” suffered a major blow with its share of the livestreaming content compressed to less than 20% of what it used to be!

Given its somewhat excessive levels of gore, it was even banned on several overseas platforms, making this disparity even greater.

However, Jason was surprisingly calm about this.

He had already accepted it.

On the other hand, to avoid being spoiled, Lincoln, along with the little princess, was strolling around in the virtual world.

However, while strolling, he was also pondering a matter —

Camille Victoria’s 18th birthday is just around the corner.

This is the coming-of-age ceremony for the little princess.

What would be a suitable gift?
