Chapter 924: Chapter 872: Overtime Coupon and Announcement Tide (Two in One)_1 Chapter 924: Chapter 872: Overtime Coupon and Announcement Tide (Two in One)_1 “Mechs!”

With just two words, Lincoln stirred up excitement among everyone present.

Ever since he introduced “mechs” online, the clamor for a [Mecha Game] had been relentless.

It’s not just players and netizens who were eager; many employees at Cloud Dream were highly anticipatory, even forming a [Mecha Interest Group].

—Lincoln set an early off-work time, leaving ample free time for employees.

As a result, various interest groups naturally formed within the company.

Some members played games together, went skiing or fishing together, and some were interested in enhancing their technical skills by creating things in the virtual world.

The [Mecha Interest Group] was one of these.

Their favorite pastime when not working was building mechs in the virtual world!

Seeing that they were finally about to get started was excitement beyond words.

However, Lincoln wasn’t able to start detailing immediately and sent a clip as per usual, asking the project team to review it after reorganization, then proceed to set up the overall “scenery”, creating the main scenes and appearing mechs.

Then there was the re-enactment of the [Rehabilitation Plan]—but this time, overseas.

He hadn’t considered this before because he subconsciously thought Western users wouldn’t agree to the collection of their personal data.

Not only would they not agree, but it might even lead to a significant backlash and prompt government intervention, leading to policies unfavorable to Cloud Dream, causing various complications.

However, the enthusiastic participation of overseas players during the recent integration and improvement of the “Pokémon” game’s map surprised him.

As for negative public opinion…

There might have been some?

But none reached his ears, nor were there any policies detrimental to Cloud Dream.

Unlike when Cloud Dream was just making inroads overseas with a weak user base, they have now surpassed two hundred million overseas users.

The user base is completely sufficient, “it was a different time.”

So, it’s time to do another “good deed”—

Overseas language-impaired players can start talking, ordinary overseas players get game discounts, and Cloud Dream gets data, technology, and game sales.

Win-win-win!

Probably…

Anyway, Lincoln planned the task.

Whether it’s a triple win depends on the performance of overseas users.

Lincoln, with remarkable efficiency, finished assigning tasks to all development teams and then turned back to his thrilling space journey.

But before he left, he didn’t forget to tease everyone, “On the first day of the Lunar New Year when I was interviewed, I left 500 starting-work red envelopes in my office and the resting room.

As for how much money is in them…

I don’t know since Mavis and I stuffed them randomly.”

“Anyway, it’s first come first served, so you guys go get them.”

“Oh, I’ve broadcasted the first two sentences to the group chat, you guys better hurry!”

Lincoln’s figure disappeared as soon as he finished talking.

Everyone in the meeting room looked at each other.

The next moment, almost unanimously, they said, “Disconnect!”

Everyone disappeared in unison, racing to Lincoln’s office to play the red envelope grabbing game.

Cheryl, who was keenly aware, not only grabbed her share, but also secured five more for her pet employees.

Instead of leaving the office, she swiftly took out her phone.

Then “Cloud Dream Office Daily” started streaming urgently, live broadcasting the “Starting-Work Red Envelope Grabbing Battle”!

The long-lost “Official Insider Live” was greeted with cheers.

After Cheryl explained Lincoln’s rules, she started opening the red envelopes on the spot.

Before opening the envelopes, she explained, “I’m not greedy like everyone else, I’m just trying to bring good luck.”

“So, I’m only taking one envelope for myself.

The rest will be left for the pet employees to choose— whoever bites it gets it— stepping on it doesn’t count.

I’ll later exchange the money for special snacks or toys for the pet employee.

Fair enough?”

Then, she looked at the six red envelopes and randomly picked the thickest one.

The live broadcast room instantly filled with groans of disapproval.

Cheryl was unbothered.

She opened the envelope, pulled out a 100 Dollar Banknote, and—

Six printed [New Year Blessing Coupons], three [One Hour Slacking Off Coupons], and one [One Day Paid Leave Coupon].

What was outrageous was that all these “coupons” were the same size as the 100 Dollar Banknote!

A thick stack was stuffed into the red envelope.

Given Cheryl’s usual impression of Lincoln being “generous”, one would believe it should be a whole stack of 100 Dollar Banknotes.

But—

“What the hell is this [New Year Blessing Coupon]?!!”

Cheryl was taken aback when viewing the six cards with blessings of “Happy New Year”, “Everything Goes Well”, “Horse Leads to Success”, “Good health”, “Good luck”, “Smooth and successful”.

As for the [Slacking Coupon]…

she took her pets to frolic around every day and could slack off anytime, anywhere.

Who needs this thing?!

The netizens were almost laughing their socks off:

“Lincoln sure knows how to play!”

“Rare item in 10 pulls!”

“So is the [One Day Paid Leave Coupon] a guaranteed pull or a rare one?”

“I feel like the 100 bucks is the guaranteed pull, haha.”

Unwilling to admit defeat, Cheryl opened up the other five envelopes belonging to the pet employees, wanting to validate if they were all the same.
