Chapter 1376: Chapter 1238: 20%!

“Paradise: Dream Journey”!

“The Wall of Life”?

Can someone explain what the heck this is?!”

Under the huge holographic display, players were stunned after watching the trailer.

“Wasn’t it “Monster Hunter”?

Why is it The Wall of Life?”

“There’s a new game??”

“What kind of production capacity is this?!”

“So…

after [Return to the Stars] is completed, there’s not just virtual world updates, but also a New Game Release?”

“New games are great, but…

where’s my “Monster Hunter”??”

“Don’t rush, isn’t this just 10%?

Wait for it to reach 20%, maybe more trailers will be unlocked!”

“So… keep on grinding?”

“Grind!

As long as you don’t die from it, grind to death!”

In the buzzing Task Square, some players immediately ended this interlude and turned back to continue grinding tasks.

But many more players excitedly opened their panels, switched to the external internet to share the good news, and couldn’t wait to watch the trailer a few more times.

—The first time was so sudden, many details were missed.

But they were soon shocked to discover: whether it was Cloud Dream’s account, Lincoln’s account, or searching for the keyword “The Wall of Life,” there was no trace of the trailer.

While the account for The Wall of Life did exist and was indeed an official verified account, the problem was—

The account’s homepage was empty, not to mention trailers, there wasn’t even a greeting or an introduction.

It was totally a “no-name account”!

Cloud Dream actually didn’t sync the trailer to the online platforms!

Everyone was instantly dumbfounded:

“So this trailer, you can only get a glimpse of it when the progress hits 10%?

Miss it and it’s gone?”

“Is this for real?

Shouldn’t they aim for high exposure in promotion?”

“Great, just another day of Cloud Dream being nuts.”

“Fine, I’ll have to be online when the progress reaches 19% no matter what.”

“And make sure to prepare to record it in advance!”

The lively atmosphere didn’t last too long, and soon everyone found out there was no video, only a few scattered photos, and there wasn’t much left to talk about, so they slowly dispersed.

But for those players who weren’t online, it was a different story.

—They were absolutely freaking out, suffering miserably!

It’s early morning on the weekend!

Not even 7:30 yet!

How are they supposed to wake up, huh?

Cloud Dream releasing a trailer at this time, and only once, isn’t this just trickery, intentionally messing with people?!

They all felt they were being treated unfairly and went to find Lincoln for an explanation.

But Lincoln wasn’t even awake at the time, so how could he respond to them?

So the players who missed the trailer could only understand this new game based on photos and verbal descriptions posted by others in the forum.

Of course, this was like scratching an itch through a boot; the more they scratched, the itchier they became.

Thus, they were even more eager for The Wall of Life trailer and even more displeased with the development team’s actions.

When Peter woke up, this was the situation he faced.

He was a bit confused.

Just yesterday, the boss mentioned adjusting the order in which trailers were released, but hadn’t mentioned making such a move.

He quickly contacted the boss.

Lincoln yawned as he answered the phone, “What’s up?”

Upon hearing his boss just woke up, Peter quickly explained the situation.

Lincoln was a bit surprised too, but he wasn’t worried, “Relax, relax, don’t you know what the players are like?

They’re just making a fuss for now, and soon they won’t be so bothered anymore.”

“Really?” Peter was feeling uneasy.

“Really!” Lincoln comforted him, “At this rate, the progress will soon reach 20%, and then the players will be focused on the new trailer.”

“Alright…” Peter hung up the phone hesitantly.

As for Lincoln, he immediately pulled up the illusion of the sun and stared at the floating ribbon for quite a while.

“Mavis, has this ribbon gotten a bit longer?”

“Yes, it has!” Mavis nodded vigorously, “Mavis thinks the decryption has become easier!”

“Can you estimate the time it will take to finish the decryption?” Lincoln asked again.

“No problem!” Mavis quietly calculated for a few seconds before answering, “According to Mavis’s calculations, the decryption will be completed much faster than the players can finish [Return to the Stars]!

Many days faster!”

“Great!” Lincoln got out of bed in a good mood, “It seems the players are having a lot of fun, that eases my mind!

Time to eat!”

*

It’s hard to say if they were having fun, but they definitely were grinding hard.

Throughout the whole Sunday, the players managed another 5% progress, which was quite astonishing with such a “billion-level” requirement!

But Peter had a bad feeling about it.

As dawn approached midnight, and the total progress reached 18%, Peter became even more anxious.

Finally, at 4:27 a.m., the total progress reached 20%.

The new trailer unlocked as expected.

Beneath the huge holographic display, a dense crowd of players had gathered.

Unlike the sudden surprise at 10% progress, the players were prepared this time.

Many stopped accepting tasks at 19% progress and waited under the screen for the trailer to unlock, with video equipment ready well in advance.

If there was anything unexpected, it was the timing of 4:27 a.m., even more bizarre than the last time at 7:21 a.m.!

The player online rate at this time was even lower than before!

The only piece of good news was that they could record it.

The task interface disappeared and the holographic display turned pitch black, followed by a lively and cheerful music gradually starting to play.

In the crowd, a great number of players shouted out their expectations once again—

“20%!

‘Monster Hunter’!”

They had guessed wrong at 10% progress and placed their hopes on 20%.

Unfortunately, they guessed wrong again.

This time, what appeared on the screen wasn’t a planet but a huge transparent bubble floating in space.

As the lens zoomed in closer, the immense transparent bubble became clearer, making everyone realize in amazement that it was actually—

An amusement park?!

Set against the profound backdrop of space and the dazzling red and blue binary stars, numerous sightseeing spaceships were coming and going, ferrying groups of tourists in and out.

On the outermost layer of the bubble was a ring of deep blue water forming a “star ring.”

But here, the star ring had become a massive edgeless swimming pool, with attractive men and women swimming in their swimsuits, looking as if they could swim across the boundary and into the universe at any moment.

The tourists disembarked from the spaceships and entered the space amusement park.

The first thing that caught their eyes was the gigantic water globes free of gravity’s grip, floating overhead, with beautiful and bizarre alien aquatic creatures gliding, dancing, and hopping from one globe to another.

Dressed in diving suits, the tourists were diving and interacting with these beautiful creatures in the water.

Further inside, the atmosphere heated up immediately.

Crowds bustling about, petals falling from the sky, fluttering streamers and balloons, drones flying around serving drinks to tourists, and exotic birds with vibrant feathers chirping melodiously…

The crowd split along the paths.

Exhibition halls, restaurants, hot springs, holographic movies, aquariums, animal acts, alien divas, stage plays…

All sorts of entertainment facilities passed swiftly before the camera, dazzling the players and stirring up their excitement, making them yearn to jump right in and experience it all!

But obviously, that was just wishful thinking—

“Paradise: A Dream Journey”
