Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 911



Chapter 911: Chapter 863: “He’s not only researching, he’s started building!”_1 Chapter 911: Chapter 863: “He’s not only researching, he’s started building!”_1 The massive influx of Daxia players quickly had a significant impact.

Domestic players and the media began to voluntarily promote the game, and in no time, “Animal Party” received rave reviews all over the Daxia Internet.

This enabled “Animal Party” to truly sweep across the player circles; not only did casual gamers flood in, even hardcore gamers who usually play other games also flocked to try it out.

Not to mention those fervent FPS fans from “Battlefield” who are perpetually “gunning”.

Even players of “Chang’an” came in droves to have a taste of the game.

Though the first team in “Chang’an” had completed their first completion, but it didn’t mean the game was over.

— Not at all, the game was far from over as the percentage of players who had cleared the game was actually not high.

Even without considering the progress of the players’ main missions, a large number of other popular gameplay methods were still in progress:

The “Warhorse Armor”, initiated by the Super Tomato Organization, was still under construction.

But due to the lack of system blueprints and low production efficiency, the progress was not as good as anticipated.

The strategy to tackle the Fox Maiden was also ongoing.

However, currently, players could only engage in various minor tasks, without any way to enhance intimacy levels.

The most diligent hoarding party had finally bought a house in Chang’an City.

Even though the house was located in the cheapest area of the Southwest Market, it was still a great achievement.

And those who managed to buy a house immediately received a surprise: the busty girl who “died” from an arrow in the tutorial level unexpectedly paid them a visit!

Oh, and there’s also Mechanism City.

The map of Mechanism City was gradually being unveiled with the collective exploration efforts of the players.

Although its area is far less than that of the entire Chang’an City, the level of difficulty in exploration is extreme.

The assorted clockwork technologies inside have also drawn considerable attention from numerous players.

Also, even though Divine Capital Luoyang is bustling, it has virtually no tasks and has now become purely a sightseeing map.

The global speed battle of echo instances not only remained ongoing but became even more heated and highly competitive!

The hand-to-hand combat enthusiasts from the [Fighting Club], too, found their niche within this speed challenge.

They took up a position not as professionals but in a “substitute” manner.

Their success in carving out a niche amidst this fierce competition largely relied on—

[Thousand-Year Lightning Wood Knuckles]!

Hand-to-hand combat might be weak in PVP, but certainly not in monster fighting, especially when equipped with [Thousand-Year Lightning Wood Knuckles] and yellow talismans bought from Dongming Temple; it almost liquifies all monsters and ghosts!

It’s so fierce as to create a great chaos.

It can even help secure time for teams in fast-paced instances, and it’s also quite a sight to behold.

There were just so many gameplays that it was impossible to enumerate them all at once.

It was the exceptional popularity and positive reviews of “Animal Party” today that caused the online rate of “Chang’an” players to plummet, with everyone flocking to “Animal Party” for the buzz.

The large number of players also meant significant revenue, with sales of monthly passes and skins skyrocketing.

The players who had previously predicted that “a game that only has a day of development time and no staff to help, the quality of it shouldn’t be very good,” are now busy apologizing publicly—

“I’m sorry, my apologies!

I should not have measured Lincoln by normal genius standards, he is clearly not human!”

Under this “apology post,” many players left comments:

“No worries; it wasn’t your fault; treat it as if you were cursing it.”

“@Lin You, given how impressive you are, why does Cloud Dream have such a low production?

Even if the company shuts down on weekends, we should still be getting five new games a week!”

” Now I seriously suspect that Lincoln has plenty more games in hiding!”

In this lively atmosphere, even those who originally didn’t want to play the game also got caught up in the tide or were simply pulled into the game by their good friends.

“Animal Party” utterly swept across the global player circles in no time, its stunning speed comparable to a strong wind sweeping the fallen leaves!

At the Central Intelligence Agency in Virginia, the countermeasure team, who had been defeated for two hours in a row and barely managed five small team victories, finally left the virtual world for a debriefing meeting in the conference room.

Boss Barnes looked out at the night sky, yawning long and stated his opinion to the five team members:

“Let’s reduce the credibility of [Lincoln Building Mechs] by 5%?

This is obviously a mature game and should not have been hastily produced due to a leak of information.”

Bree, a female colleague who was expressionless and pondering over what to eat for her midnight snack, nodded and said, “Agreed.”

The youngest, Daniel, immediately retorted, “No!

This is even more suspicious!”

“If it’s a mature game, why didn’t they choose a better time to launch it to earn more money?

Why did they suddenly launch it in haste?

It’s clearly a ploy to divert our attention and deflect the topic!”

“So not only should we not reduce it, we should increase it by another 5%!”

Brazenly disrespecting the superior and colleagues, the atmosphere in the meeting room instantly grew tense.

Two other male colleagues also joined in, arguing against Daniel’s opinion, the tension escalating in the meeting room.

Bree, a female team member, remained expressionless, wondering when the argument would end and what midnight snack she would have after that, her thoughts gradually drifting away.

It wasn’t until the oldest colleague with the most seniority once again played the role of peacemaker that both sides agreed to take a step back.

Which is to say, they would not alter the confidence level, neither increasing nor decreasing it.

As such, they even saved the effort of rewriting the report.

When Daniel stepped out of the meeting room, he suddenly felt something was off–

‘Was I conned?’

The next morning, Daniel stood up with a serious expression, requesting a team meeting.

Team leader Barnes didn’t want to deal with him.

But due to the workflow, he reluctantly stood up, calling everyone to the meeting room.

In the meeting room, Daniel didn’t even sit down.

As soon as the other people took their seats, he firmly said: “I believe we must immediately revise the report, increase the confidence level, and report it to our superiors as soon as possible!”

The team leader was somewhat impatient: “Didn’t we already discuss this topic last night?”

The other team members looked at the one always in charge of mediating the dispute: did he find out something?

Daniel looked at the team leader and confidently said, “It’s different now!

ƝοѵǤο.ᴄο

Because I have discovered an important piece of intelligence.

It can prove that there’s a high likelihood that Lincoln really is building a mech!”

“It is not just simple research, it has now reached the actual production phase!!”

Barnes couldn’t believe it: “Impossible!

I have been constantly monitoring information related to Lincoln and Cloud Dream!”

“That’s because you’ve been paying attention to the wrong thing!” Daniel took out a file bag and slapped it on the conference table: “The truly important information might not be with Lincoln!”

He opened the file bag and pushed the printed photos one by one towards his colleagues.

Bree, who was thinking about breakfast and wasn’t quite full, and what to eat for lunch, didn’t let out any surprise.

She took the photos with a blank face and flipped through them.

But no matter how she looked at it, they were all aerial photos of trucks.

She was a little confused, but didn’t open her mouth, flipping through each photo without revealing any emotions.

Just as she expected, a colleague couldn’t hold back and asked, “Where is this?

What are those trucks carrying?”

Daniel didn’t keep them guessing; he immediately gave the answer: “Xiajing Third Mechanical Manufacturing Factory, directly under Daxia Military Industrial Research Institute!”

“As for what those trucks are carrying, it doesn’t matter!

What really matters is: During the Daxia New Year holidays, the mechanical manufacturing plant under the Military Research Institute unexpectedly increased its traffic dramatically, began large-scale incoming goods right after Lincoln accidentally leaked the mech blueprints!”

“What do you think this is for?

Or to put it more bluntly…

what are they trying to make?”

All the people were shocked and looked at Daniel.

This guess was too scary.

“Is everything you said true?

Is Lincoln really researching mech, and has he really reached the actual production stage?!”

Bree opened her mouth, fully forgetting the question of what to eat for lunch, “We…

should report it!

Immediately!”

“That’s right, we have to report it right away!” The other two colleagues instantly changed their tune.

The voices of dissent disappeared instantly.

Everyone unanimously agreed to report immediately.

Daniel was fully prepared and took out another document placed it on the conference table.

“This is a new report, which I have already finished writing.

Everyone, please take a look.”

The report was passed around in the hands of everyone.

Finally, it stopped in the hands of the team leader, Barnes.

Barnes solemnly signed his name on it and passed it on to the next person.

The report was passed around again, gathering six people’s signatures, and handed back to Barnes.

He held the crucial report, left the meeting room with Daniel, and went straight to the director’s office, knocking on the director’s door.

—The countermeasure team directly reported to the director, and important intelligence can be reported directly.

And [Lincoln really is researching mech, and has likely already reached the substantial construction phase] is without a doubt important intelligence that must be reported immediately with no delay!
