After deciding to purchase the supercomputing facility, the plan for âFreedom Dayâ naturally needed to be revised.
Due to the substantial increase in the number of players on a single map, all rules had to be redefined to accommodate this scale.
Randall was not disappointed at all; instead, he went back enthusiastically to start over.
Lincoln turned to look at the daydreaming intern: âAre you going to play for a while, or are you going to work overtime?â
Camille Victoria laughed and asked, âCan you bear to watch a worker playing games during working hours?â
âIâm not a capitalist!â Lincoln objected, âIf it werenât for the heaps of work, I would love to slack off with you!â
âAlright, alright, I got it, Iâll go and help Sister Tung.â Camille Victoria disappeared as soon as she finished speaking.
She was too lazy to move, so even though Little Chun and the others were less than a hundred meters away, she summoned a teleportation gate to get there.
Lincoln just chuckled helplessly, opened a teleportation gate, stepped through it and reached the Infrastructure Team.
He planned to build a large stadium in the world of âSpeed Chaseâ.
Then, at an appropriate time, he would host a concert in the virtual world.
Even though the main storyline of the first version didnât need it, offering players a chance to experience a front-row seat where they could clearly see the singerâs skirt hemline would definitely be an excellent experience.
Of course, to achieve this, he would need to attend a concert in person at some point.
Usually when he attended concerts, he would buy standing room tickets for a few hundred bucks; front row tickets were too expensive to consider.
Plus, he might not be able to get one even if he were willing to pay for it.
At half past four in the afternoon, shortly before finishing time, Lincoln left the virtual world to visit the beagle puppy.
After much consideration, he decided to keep it. It would be too pitiful for a pup so young and recently separated from its mother not to have a dependable owner.
Having decided to keep it, it was important to spend more time with the little one at this age.
The highly motivated Cheryl was already filming with a camera borrowed from an employee learning photography.
All the equipment she needed had been ordered and would arrive the next day.
Upon seeing Lincoln, the little beagle immediately ignored the camera and scampered over.
Cheryl, holding the camera and following the puppy, said, âLittle Daisy, donât run around, look here!â
Focused on the small display screen of the camera, she didnât notice Lincoln until his feet appeared inside the viewfinder.
Then, Lincoln squatted in the shot, picked up the puppy and said, âDaisy⊠feels weird calling you that.â
Unimpressed, Cheryl rolled her eyes, âIsnât the puppy in the game named
Daisy? Isnât that what you said? Immersive experience!â
âWhat we name the puppy in the game is up to us, right?â
Cheryl challenged him, âSure, but you canât have a Western-style assassin holding a puppy named Wang Cai, right? Thatâs too off-brand!â
âHmm, you have a point. Let me think about it,â said Lincoln while petting the puppy.
Chit-chatting with Cheryl and petting the puppy, it was soon time to knock off.
The employees gradually logged out, packed up, and left.
Lincoln, of course, had to wait for everyone to leave before he could take Princess home.
However, just at that moment, the recently-employed Marketing Manager Victor, walked into the company, heading straight for Lincoln.
Lincoln inwardly groaned, thinking, donât tell me he has work for me even after hours?
The bad feeling often fulfills itselfâ
âBoss, weâve run into some issues with our partnership with Southern Branch,â Victor said without beating around the bush.
âWhat kind of issue?â Lincoln felt annoyed, but had to ask.
âThey demand that the store we open in the virtual world must be thoroughly protected,â
âJust add a few security guards, it shouldnât be a big deal, right?â Lincoln was a bit puzzled.
âThey are requesting that no robbery should occur in the store, stating that it would badly affect the brand image,â Victor delicately explained, âThey want to turn the storefront into a safe area like amusement parks.â
âAre they daydreaming?â Lincoln frowned, âWhat, did they set a high price?â
âThe initial offer was four million, but after the record-breaking game sales on Sunday, it increased to six million.â
âIs that all?â Lincoln found that quite amusing.
âForget it, donât waste your time, stop the negotiation. If their head wants to cooperate, let him come to me personally, and I will vent for you then.â
Logically speaking, selling real-world products in the virtual world and breaking down the barriers between the virtual and the real is indeed a significant matter for the long-term strategy of Cloud Dream.
But the problem is that Southern Branch is not indispensable!
They just have a keen sense of smell and approached us first.
Without them, there will be other brands in the future.
Retreating ten thousand steps, with the cash flow of Cloud Dream now, what industry canât we enter? If necessary, we can produce and sell our products, considered as creating peripherals.
Lincoln dismissed Victor off work with a few words, and continued to pet the dog.
Victor left the company with a heavy heart â his first task since taking up the position was unsuccessful, which was not a good omen.
After the employees left with their pets one by one, Princess stealthily peeked out of the crack in the door like a little thief, ensuring that no one was around, before slipping out of Lincolnâs office â without forgetting to wrap herself up tightly.
As soon as she came out, she didnât bother to pay attention to Lincoln, and reached out to hug the dog.
âIf you like it so much, why not keep one?â Lincoln asked curiously.
She knew about the Dog Farm, which was obviously of her interest.
As for the price, the dogs in the Dog Farm are indeed not cheap, with general prices starting from 5000, but that should be a non-issue for Camille Victoria.
Not to mention the pocket money from her family, just the bonus Lincoln gave from âAssassinsâ Allianceâ is near 100,000.
âThe main reason is the low basic salary of interns, and she was unwilling to accept a higher wage, so the 21+x salary bonus wasnât much.
Even so, buying a dog would be a piece of cake, let alone the forthcoming bonus from the release of âLight Encounterâ.
âMy mum is allergic to dog fur, we canât keep a dog at home.â Camille Victoria regretted.
âIn that case, you can come to my home to pet the dog when you are free.â Lincoln casually said.
âReally?â Camille Victoriaâs eyes sparkled, âYou mean it.â
âI mean it.â Lincoln nodded.
Little Princess still felt it was not enough and stuck out her little finger, âPinky swear!â
Lincoln couldnât help but laugh, âAlright, pinky swear.â
After the pinky swear, Camille Victoria felt a little shy, hugging the little dog as she left the company with Lincoln.
It wasnât until before getting into the car, that she reluctantly handed the dog to Lincoln, waving goodbye. (f)reenovelkiss
Lincoln got into the car with the dog and headed home with Pengju.
However, halfway through, Pengju gave him another piece of bad news: âThereâs a preliminary conclusion about the Cloud Dream Experience Store theft case.â
âWhatâs the conclusion?â
âIt rules out the possibility of testing your personal security measures.â
âIs that all?â Lincoln was disappointed. He had never believed it was aimed at him in the first place.
âThereâs more.â Pengju continued, âBased on the clues you provided, they dispatched a large force of the police and caught most of the gang.â
âMost of them?â Lincoln asked, âDid anyone get away?â
âYes, two people got away without their real identities being confirmed. But based on the clues provided by the gang, these two men are likely foreigners who stayed in the country for less than a week and have probably fled the country with the four pieces of equipment by now.â
âHuh?â Lincoln was genuinely surprised this time, âAll this effort for just four pieces of equipment? What were they thinking? Hiring a professional gang for this job costs more than buying from the secondhand market, wouldnât it?â
âWho knows?â Pengju said nonchalantly, âPerhaps when they were planning, Mirage equipment was hard to come by overseas? Or maybe the person who commissioned them doesnât care about the cost, they just wanted the equipment quickly?â
âAre there really so many foreigners with money to burn?â Lincoln said, speechless, âThey could just give me the money directly, I could send a few devices over!â
Pengju shook his head and fell silent.
Lincoln, uninterested, took out his mobile phone to browse the social network and see if there was any new news.
Then he was speechless to see that âLight Encounterâ has once again topped the trending topics listâŠ.
