Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 975



Chapter 975: Chapter 907 Limited Edition Gaming Cabin!_1 Chapter 975: Chapter 907 Limited Edition Gaming Cabin!_1 Foreign players were baffled as Daxia players were excited.

The possibility had never occurred to them before.

After all, the power of Cloud Dream’s language translation technology had been demonstrated reverently to everyone over the past half a year.

Users all over the world can interact, communicate, and engage in the same virtual world without any hindrance.

They even used this “bridge” of the virtual world to access internet content from other countries outside of the virtual world and learn about cultures completely different from their own.

This accelerated the process of genuine “globalisation”.

Technology may be cold, but the idea conveyed behind technology is warm.

In the eyes of many overseas media and public intellectuals, Lincoln is a person who is internationally-oriented and aims to promote communication and understanding in human society, ultimately achieving a certain level of shared fate.

He never expressed this, but his behavior and his technology conveyed this idea.

Several people had made similar remarks too often and too many times, eventually leading those ideas to take root deep in people’s hearts.

In fact, nobody could have imagined that Cloud Dream would suddenly release a game that only Daxia players could play!

This is just unreasonable!

Unless… there is some reason forcing them to do this?

And the reason wasn’t hard to find.

The answer lies on the riddle—

The promotional material of Cloud Dream specifically mentions “volunteers of the Rehabilitation Plan” and “the game that was made possible by their contribution”.

Does that mean: The Rehabilitation Plan was successful in Daxia so Chinese-speaking users can play this game.

And because the Rehabilitation Plan progress is slow overseas, they have technical issues and thus can’t play this game?

—Of course, it could also be the other way around.

The game is not related to the Rehabilitation Plan, but Cloud Dream has hidden motives to use the game as an excuse, “forcing” players to surrender their privacy data for some unspeakable purpose.

It’s hard to say.

Even though Cloud Dream has never done such a thing, many governments actually have…

They are all so vigilant!

Therefore, overseas players quickly divided into two camps; one group adhered to conspiracy theories and immediately scolded Cloud Dream for discriminating against overseas users and forcing everyone to give up their personal data by immoral means.

The other group was a lot calmer, urging Cloud Dream to follow past practices and release globally – even if it was a few days late – while discussing whether to participate in the ongoing [Rehabilitation Plan].

Both groups not only expressed their views but also had a fierce quarrel due to the strong conflicts between their views.

The battle was heated!

Discussion about the game itself?

Of course, there is, but it’s only on the pure game forums where related discussions take place.

Public social networks had been completely drowned out by intense “discussions”—or should you say “arguments”.

Meanwhile, the Daxia Internet had a completely different scene.

If the cheer level of everyone for the release of a new Cloud Dream game was 10, then a game that was completely unexpected but content brought full surprises, the cheer level would be 100!

օνǤο.сο

If this game is reserved for the local players, and others can’t play, the cheer level could double again!

Many participants in the Rehabilitation Plan, who were honored by Cloud Dream as “contributors”, are even proudly showing off their participation records again.

But with as many as 130 million participants in the Rehabilitation Plan in Daxia, this identity is not uncommon, so when netizens see it, they just say “oh”, then pass it by with an expressionless face.

—Who hasn’t participated?

The true nature of the trailer is the real hot topic!

Mecha!

Ever since it first appeared, players have been urging Cloud Dream to develop a game with this theme.

They shouted every day and month, from last year to this year, but Cloud Dream remained silent, which was disappointing.

But now, with this promotional video, Cloud Dream has proved once again—

Cloud Dream will never disappoint the players!

Do you want a Mecha game?

Here it is!!

The reason they didn’t respond before was because it wasn’t finished!

“I knew it!

I knew it!

Lincoln was popularizing mecha last year, and not long ago he brought mecha back in the track game play.

He loves mecha so much, how could he not make a mecha game!”

“Dangerous Wanderer?

Isn’t this the ultra-large mecha that Lincoln first popularized?!!

He started preparing since then!”

“So, is the blueprint he revealed in the New Year’s live stream also a mecha in the game?”

“Quite possible!

Although it didn’t show up in the trailer, there are many things missing in it – the background, characters, enemies…none of them exist!

It’s normal that other mechs were not announced.”

“Ah?

Does that mean we won’t see the mech in real life?

Don’t do this!”

“Isn’t there anyone who’s going to rave about how awesome and out-of-this-world this thing is?

A giant mech that’s seventy or eighty meters high!

It’s completely different from the pictures!”

“It’s absolutely not the same, it’s explosively cool, okay?!”

“So, when will it be released?

Is it next week?”

“Didn’t they say ‘coming soon’?

It probably won’t be out next week.

And these two words, they seem so mocking!

They’re doing it on purpose, aren’t they?!”

Daxia’s players can’t control their excitement, they’re all voicing their thoughts non-stop.

The 2-minute-and-40-second clip, in the countless replays by players and regular netizens alike, is gaining views each and every second.

Spiritual Rhinoceros has crashed long ago.

They are not alone, countless unprepared social platforms at home and abroad were caught off guard by Cloud Dream, all of them scrambling to expand capacity.

Not only are the players constantly replaying, countless anchors, up and gaming media are also watching it over and over, even downloading it to play frame by frame, trying to find more information and decipher more content from it.

Cloud Dream was not stingy, the clip showcased the entire process of two soldiers transitioning from ordinary people to mecha pilots.

From the simplest dressing and armoring up, to logging into the cockpit, connecting with each other, and then the startup, control, and finally the mechs’ power cores turning on, completely “coming to life”, stepping into the storm.

All the processes are clearly shown.

But at the same time, Cloud Dream was stingy, this clip, apart from introducing the mech’s name and the announcement that it will be sold soon, did not contain any text descriptions for the entire duration.

All those equipment, machinery, armour, mech parts, no text descriptions were provided.

Even the time, place, reason, and purpose are all unknown.

Everyone got to see a spectacular display of the mech startup, but that’s all they saw.

That’s why everyone is extremely keen to know more information, doesn’t matter what it’s about, as long as it’s related to the new game!

Whoever can provide that, can get a piece of the action from this amazing surge of traffic.

Western players are perplexed and depressed, Daxia’s players are exhilarated and frenzied.

And in between these two, there are some whose feelings are a bit complicated.

Given Daxia’s strong leadership position in the economic, political, and cultural spheres, Chinese is actually widely used in East Asia and Southeast Asia.

Especially in Daxia’s tributary nations, Chinese is the de facto official language, and those who are completely unable to speak it are in the minority.

So when they saw the words [Chinese language zone exclusive for sale], they immediately realised:

“Seems like…we count?”

“Although we didn’t participate in the Rehabilitation Plan, we do speak Chinese, so does this mean we’ve hitched a ride?”

“Awesome!”

In the parlance of Western netizens, [Chinese language zone exclusive], is equivalent to [Daxia exclusive].

But that’s not the case.

The [Chinese speaking zone] is a concept much broader than [Daxia].

Not only in East Asia and South Asia, but even in Europe and the Americas, anyone who can speak Chinese falls within this category.

And if you don’t speak Chinese, even if you live right in the heart of Daxia, Cloud Dream will not count you among the [Chinese-speaking zone].

It’s for this reason that, following the release of the clip, the Language Teaching Center in Xiajing City was inundated with calls; they were hit with a hot market.

Overseas players who have relocated to Daxia en masse will have a strong demand for Chinese language instruction.

This trend might even spill over overseas!

In a few days, we might see Western intellectuals warning against Cloud Dream’s cultural invasions tactics.

But Lincoln didn’t care at all.

Far from it, he was planning to add fuel to this fire!

The time is perfect.

After delaying for so long, the [Game Cabin], which always existed in the form of “lucky draws” and “event rewards”, was finally ready to be officially launched to the market.

And the fuel Lincoln wanted to add was still keyed on [limited]——
