(Two in One)_2 Chapter 913: Chapter 864: Did You Alter The Blueprints!?

(Two in One)_2 Henry exhaled and hung up the phone, proceeding to contact the factory.

At the factory, rushed restocking continued while select key technical staff were notified to adjust their vacation schedule.

With the sudden extra workload combined with the still ongoing new year holiday, it was inevitable that the situation seemed a bit chaotic.

Then Daniel couldn’t wait to rush forward, feeding his own people this smoke grenade.

However, all these matters were momentarily irrelevant to Lincoln.

After the release of “Animal Party”, he had a blast playing with Camille and Mavis before heading straight to the Aerospace Center for training.

The holiday at the Aerospace Center ended on the third day of the Lunar New Year, and the astronauts resumed their rigorous daily training.

Given that Lincoln 7 was set to take off, he couldn’t afford to miss a single day of training.

What surprised him was: he unexpectedly saw Camille waiting for him outside the gate of the Aerospace Research and Training Center.

Lincoln was somewhat taken aback, “What brings you here?”

The Little Princess responded openly, “I want to keep you company.”

Lincoln was slightly surprised.

He thought Little Princess would be excited to play “Animal Party” all day long – she was extremely thrilled when playing the game in the morning.

But he was delighted nonetheless.

Lincoln took her into the Aerospace Center and started his strenuous training.

The Little Princess wore a happy smile, sporting a headband and holding Lincoln’s mobile phone, watching him train with Mavis.

This routine continued for the following three days.

While Lincoln was busy with training and his relationship, the game world was also bustling.

The players’ online time had dipped due to the New Year, but had quickly recovered with the passage of time.

The craze for “Animal Party” continued.

This was the only game that could directly compete with “Chang’an” in terms of popularity, almost splitting the gaming world in half.

Even Camille, looking like an internet-addicted young girl, was keen to turn into a little creature and brawl with other players every day.

She was either with Lincoln or Mavis by her side, thoroughly enjoying each day playing games.

Many anchors who were originally more inclined towards leisure games moved their main battlefield from “Chang’an” to “Animal Party”, staying online intensively every day.

Though the game wasn’t large, the money it raked in was impressive, making almost a third of what “Chang’an” did in only a few days.

If “Animal Party” was so successful, why couldn’t it manage to split the gaming world in half with “Chang’an”?

The reason was simple: “Pokémon” was also pulling out all the stops!

In fact, from Chinese New Year’s Eve, “Pokémon” had introduced a New Year Limited World Boss – the Nian Beast.

About this event, some people have predicted before the Lunar New Year.

After all, Yunmeng was purely a Daxia company, and they made a bunch of Spirit Beasts from traditional culture, so it seemed a bit strange if the Nian Beast didn’t make an appearance with the New Year approaching.

However, on New Year’s Eve, most players stayed home and didn’t rush out to participate in late-night events, so the popularity naturally wasn’t too high.

— It wasn’t that popularity wasn’t high, it’s just not high in Daxia.

Overseas, it was a big hit.

Since then, the population overseas suddenly gained more than thirty million people understanding Daxia’s Lunar New Year customs.

As sales of [Bafang] surged and both the #NianBeast and #Nian were trending in hot searches overseas, the number of people gaining knowledge continued to grow.

It wasn’t until the second day of the Lunar New Year that the popularity in Daxia quickly rose and rapidly overtook that overseas.

Then a large number of players from small towns were astonished to find: so many people!

Before the New Year holiday, the [Tavern Conquest War] involved just over a hundred people.

But on the third day of the Lunar New Year, there were more than a hundred people participating in a fight, and over five times that number spectating!

It wasn’t until everyone started chasing the first world boss, the Nian Beast, they discovered what a sea of people really looked like!

— The [Kraken] only appeared in Xiajing City and was still in closed beta, so it naturally didn’t count.

Large groups of players ran frantically around the park, throwing firecrackers towards the Nian Beast as they ran.

— [Firecrackers] were a new commodity in the store during the New Year period.

They would also drop during pet fights, so they weren’t considered a rare item.

Of course, they weren’t rare for now, but it might not be the case after a while.

Because these were limited to the New Year period and would disappear after the Lunar New Year, they could only be replenished in the following year.

By taking advantage of the Nian Beast event, “Pokémon” stubbornly occupied a portion of the live streaming shares, turning the “divide into two” into a “three-legged race”.

However, the employees of “Pokémon” didn’t feel disheartened by this small deficit.

They clearly understood:

The only downside for “Pokémon” was its slightly low streaming and discussion heat, but the actual player online hours, gaming enthusiasm, and revenue generated all far surpassed the other two.

In terms of making money, let alone “Animal Party”, even “Chang’an” lagged behind “Pokémon”!

While “Chang’an” bore the hopes of countless people, it has only just surpassed forty-nine million sales.

This figure was already stunningly impressive and virtually inconceivable for a major title, but it still seemed a bit unrealistic to surpass the world’s number one blockbuster, “Rock n Sex”.

It wasn’t that it lacked the stamina or potential, but by the time sales reached a hundred million, the second chapter might be released.

By then, even if it managed to surpass the top spot, it might seem like a hollow victory.

However, inside Yunmeng, the staff of the “Chang’an” development team were unfazed by this.

“Comparing sales with an adult game” was only a topic of interest to idle netizens, media wishing to make big news, and Lincoln, who had an unusual way of thinking.
