Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 984



Chapter 984: Chapter 914 Release Date Confirmed!_1 Chapter 984: Chapter 914 Release Date Confirmed!_1 Looking at the photo of Mo Niang risking her life to open a sealed door, Thomas became somewhat agitated.

He had seen the live broadcast where Lincoln nearly lost his life abroad!

Nevertheless, this was simply a case of worrying too much.

He quickly realized: Mo Niang was a Mechanism Girl, although her intelligence was extremely high, and different from a regular person, she was essentially a product of the Mechanical Art.

She appeared almost human, but beneath her beautiful dress were sophisticated spherical joints, a typical feature of a Puppet.

Although she is more exquisite and beautiful than any Mechanoid, Clockwork People or Clockwork Monsters in Mechanism City, she is still a Puppet.

She doesn’t need to breathe, so she won’t suffocate, and she can withstand changes in air pressure better than humans.

As long as she is not blown away into the endless space, she should be fine.

Moreover, Cloud Dream probably wouldn’t be that heartless.

After all, there were a considerable number of players who successfully saved the Mechanism Girl in Mechanism City and successfully lured her back home.

They wouldn’t dare make reckless moves lest they receive numerous threats!

To date, in the [Travel XX] section, the number of players who have unlocked is no longer as few as when Connar first appeared.

Players who were lucky, patient enough, or strong enough in terms of combat power gradually unlocked this section.

The only difference was the object of their efforts.

There were very few Connar, more Cat Girls, and most of all, Mechanism Girls.

However, even for the most obtained Mechanism Girls, the difficulty of acquisition is high – you have to explore a ruins city filled with strong enemies and traps, that constantly changes terrain, all the way to the center, to find the bound Mechanism Girl.

Even if you find the right place and defeat the Mechanism Spider guarding her and rescue her from the web, you still face the final test –

Whether it’s “I have nothing to repay you with, I can only give myself to you”, or “I have nothing to repay you with, I can only serve you as an ox or horse in my next life”.

Of course, the dialogue isn’t as blunt, but that’s the idea.

The different results are of course related to [Moral Points].

This matter, as a strong piece of evidence, once again solidifies the existence of this hidden system.

However, the detailed mechanism is still being explored, especially how to improve this hidden numerical value, many people have this need.

Even now, Todd is still trying every means to catch cats…

He spent a lot of effort looking from the first chapter of “Chang’an” to the second chapter, but still couldn’t find all of them.

As for players who meet the moral points requirements, as long as they are patient enough to follow the guide and are a little lucky, they should be able to collect all the cats and get a Cat Girl in about a week.

Because the number of Cat Girls and Mechanism Girls has greatly increased, news like “the virtual world will soon release a space map” has also quickly spread.

Players are of course overjoyed and guessing where this new area will be:

“Space capsule …

is this a map in Pacific Rim?

Are mech battles in the universe happening?

Are they fighting aliens?”

“I remember Cloud Dream was recruiting a Digital Reserve Team, right?

Will there be not only a space capsule, but also a whole space station?

@Digital Reserve Team, @Peter, @Vanessa…”

“Be bolder!

In the world of ‘Hunter’, there is a stranded Spaceship!

Why can’t this Spaceship have been refueled and able to go to outer space?”

“Then why not be bolder!

Maybe Cloud Dream is hiding a space game!”

“Wake up!

It’s not even night yet, dream less!”

“I feel that Lincoln wants to replicate his own outer space experience and share it with everyone, so it is more likely to be a tourism project in [Virtual Xiajing], like riding an airship.”

The players discussed it very enthusiastically.

After all, it’s space!

This heated discussion lasted a whole morning.

Many people had already started fantasizing about what they would do when they got to space.

Until a big news suddenly interrupted everyone’s discussion –

“Pacific Rim” finally announced its official release date:

[March 15th at 4:00 PM]

Only two weeks left from today.

The pre-sale also started at the same time.

Similarly, this game’s pre-sale isn’t about making money, and there’s no difference between the “Standard Edition”, “Deluxe Edition”, and “Collector’s Edition”.

It’s just a pure game pre-order.

If you have to say something, pre-ordering the “Pacific Rim Limited Edition Game Warehouse” will also come with a free copy of the game, this is probably the only thing that can be associated with “profiteering”.

But this thing, it’s also limited!

The first batch from Cloud Dream only released 1000 units!

Compared to the 5 million units of the standard version game cabin, it’s not even in the same ballpark.

There’s nowhere near enough to fight over!

Plan to make a profit on this?

Telling that would make us the laughingstock…

Cloud Dream’s pre-sale is just to compare with previous games, to judge the specific impact of the [Chinese-speaking Area Limited] action on sales.

Yes, without passing Cloud Dream’s [Chinese Proficiency Test], you can’t preorder “Pacific Rim”.

Therefore, when this news came out, while players in Daxia and neighbouring countries were cheering and eagerly preordering, players in Central Asia, Europe, America, Australia were wailing—

“What the hell!

Only half a month left?

You expect us to learn Chinese and pass the test within half a month?”

“Learn Chinese in 20-ish days?

Even geniuses can’t do that, right?!”

“Are you nuts!

Even you Daxia people spend more than a month preparing for your Mandarin test, right!!!”

“I just learned [hello], [goodbye], [have you eaten]…”

“I learned a bit more than you: [caonima], [stupid], [dead bitch], [fuck], [undying], [retard], and [call me daddy].”

Following these complaints and discontent that were either righteous indignation or helpless, many people suddenly had a change of heart, threw aside their fear of conspiracy theories, and turned around to ask: “Is it too late to enroll in the [Rehabilitation Plan] now?”

Of course, the answer is: “It’s too late.”

But Cloud Dream is still pushing the [Rehabilitation Plan], so it obviously won’t say that publicly.

Thus, while many people are studying Chinese more diligently, many more have personally experienced the difficulty of learning Chinese and realize that Cloud Dream has no intention of budging.

Looking at the release date approaching in just two weeks, they give up, turn around, and choose the [Rehabilitation Plan] again.

Forget the theories about Cloud Dream having ulterior motives, privacy leaks, and safety risks…

It doesn’t matter anymore!

Compared to the pain of learning, any conspiracy theory seems pale and weak!

So, the progress of the international version of the [Rehabilitation Plan], finally skyrocketed!

While overseas players are worrying about the upcoming release date and not having their “admission ticket” yet, Daxia players, even after their cheers, still have a small question—

“Why [16:00]?”

Cloud Dream’s game release times are not fixed, but usually big releases are in the morning.

Especially March 15th is a Saturday, it’s already a rest day, why not release in the morning?

“Why wait until 4 PM in the afternoon?”

“The precious rest day should be used entirely for the new game, why waste the whole day?”

“Can’t you do it at 0 o’clock on the 14th?

Or 6 o’clock on the 15th morning would work too!”

Players are somewhat confused and somewhat dissatisfied.

Lincoln also saw these comments.

But he believed that by the release date on the 15th, all discontent would vanish.

Because the morning of the 15th was specifically reserved for [Crimson Storm]!

The factory director of the Third Machinery Factory in Xiajing has been keeping Lincoln up to date with the progress of the mech construction.

Now, the mech has entered the final assembly stage and will be completely completed within a week at most.

Testing and adjustments afterward won’t take much time.

Even if there are unexpected issues that can’t be resolved, it would not affect the big picture.

An 8-story-tall giant mech, even if it can’t move, merely standing there is already awe-inspiring enough!

Of course, Lincoln has a lot of confidence:

On March 15th, what appears before everyone will definitely not be just a metal model!
