After sending off the gloomy-looking John, Lincoln leisurely finished the tea Cheryl had prepared.
As for how the tea tasted, he really didnât care much.
His usual drinks were fruit juice, milk tea, and cola which were not expensive but brought simple happiness.
He did drink tea, but he didnât know much about it.
After finishing the tea, he didnât care if the employees were busy developing games, and he leisurely played with the dog with Cheryl, watching her take photos to ease the mood after encountering an abnormal person.
Cheryl sat in a duck-like posture on the fluffy carpet, half-leaning over, holding the camera with its big lens directed at the little dog, and not stopping saying, âLittle Milkshake, look here, look here! Yes, yes, come here!â
But Little Milkshake didnât want to pay attention to her and bounced towards Lincoln, and started biting his trouser legs.
Lincoln wasnât anxious and let it bite.
This little guy was too young. He still had milk teeth growing, and it would be another three months before heâd change teeth, so Lincoln figured he was just teething.
He took out his mobile phone and opened Cherylâs video account âCloud Dream Office Daily.â
According to Cheryl, this was to âride onâ Cloud Dreamâs popularity. Audiences came with gossip and voyeuristic desires, and then only saw cats and dogs. âWe get attention and traffic, and they get their souls healed. Itâs a win-win!â What could Lincoln say? He could only give her a thumbs up: âGreat!â
Opening the account page, he found that Cherylâs enthusiasm and efficiency were very high. In just a week, she had posted more than forty videos.
The video with the most likes was not about cats and dogs but was actually related to the account name; it was an introduction video for the Cloud Dream Studio.
It had millions of likes.
Netizens were envious of the rest area environment and the fully stocked snack cabinet.
Next were the pet videos, which also had videos with hundreds of thousands of As he scrolled down, there were unusually many videos of Little Milkshake. After checking the comments, he found that netizens loved it very much, and many people even left messages wanting to feed Little Milkshake.
âDid people really mail dog food here?â Lincoln asked curiously.
âYes,â Cheryl nodded, âWe got both cat and dog food, but I didnât feed them to the little ones.â
Lincoln nodded, everything was going as planned. He patted Little Milkshake on the head, then turned back to his office and logged into the virtual world.
During his relaxation, he had a new idea.
âBrother Qin, how is the self-defense ability of our NPCs in the metropolis
âHuh?â Randall was a bit confused, wasnât that something they set up when they made the game?
He replied to Lincoln, somewhat baffled, âItâs still the same as before.â
âThatâs not right! This is illogical!â Lincoln explained, âThink about it, if you were a metropolitan resident and heard that the police were going on strike, what would you do?â
âUh⊠stock up on food and minimize going out?â
âWrong! Big mistake!â Lincoln crossed his arms, very clearly asserting, âOnly fools would stock up on food; smart people would stock up on guns!â âStock up on⊠guns?â Randall was a bit dumbstruck.
âWithout adequate self-defense capability, how can one survive in the metropolis?!â
âSo what you mean is?â
âStrengthen the armament of metropolitan residents!â Lincoln showed his true intentions, âRelying only on points to restrict players is somewhat weak. Metropolitan residents need self-defense and resistance capabilities.â
âBut wouldnât that interfere with the playersâ fair competition?â Randall hesitated.
âIsnât that perfect? It can also provide a stronger show effect for the audience.â
Lincoln was getting more and more excited. âWe need to design the NPCâs behavior logic carefully, plan their alert areas, when theyâll hide, when theyâll attack actively, and when theyâll fight back passively.â
âIf the players donât understand it, itâll be an unexpected factor, enhancing the show effect. If they do understand it, they can use these mechanics to set traps and strategize, increasing their winning rate!â
Randall felt overwhelmed just thinking about it and even felt a little sorry for the players who were going to participate in the contest. This was getting too complicated !
Playing a game and still having to test the playersâ real-time analysis and strategic decision-making ability?!
âThis might be a huge project.â Randall warned Lincoln.
âItâs fine, Iâll join in, weâll have enough time.â Lincoln said confidently.
Helplessly, when Lincoln thought of something interesting, he couldnât help but want to realize it as soon as possible. freew(e)bnovel.(c)om
This was probably one of his character flaws, often acting on his thoughts impulsively.
But fortunately, he was lucky enough to have Mavisâs full support, along with money and manpower, allowing him to always turn his thoughts into reality and create tangible results.
Itâs just that he couldnât help digging holes for himself, making himself busier and busier.
âLetâs start working on it now.â Lincoln rubbed his hands together and directly joined the team, starting to design the new NPC behavior patterns.
âWeâll definitely give the players a surprise at that time!â
On the other hand, the media frenzy had also begun.
On Friday, âLight Encounterâ had just been released, and everything was still uncertain.
Saturday and Sunday were rest days. Self-media didnât care about that, and overworking their employees and themselves was a common practice, making it lively.
But some relatively authoritative and reliable big media still needed a break, so there were only brief reports.
Now that it was a proper workday, these media outlets started making efforts, and articles analyzing and evaluating âLight Encounterâ , Cloud Dreamâs new game, began gushing out in all directions.
At the same time, Super Tomatoâs new video was also completed and successfully released, catching the wave of the craze.
For a moment, the popularity of âLight Encounterâ was even higher than on the day it was released, and it climbed the trending topic list in one breath.
At a glance, all the media scores were consistently high, with lots of 9s, 9-5s appearing like a screen swipe, and even quite a few media outlets giving a full 10 points.
Even the most severe media during normal times gave scores above 8.5!
A media named âDigital Entertainmentâ published an article saying that âLight Encounterâ was retracing the steps of âTraveler of the Windâ and was slowly ascending the altar of greatness. This was a completely different path from âAssassinsâ Allianceâ.
What the media meant was that although âAssassinsâ Allianceâ had good sales and high scores, the praise it received was more focused on its technical innovation and its astounding openness, realism, and freedom in gaming.
It was undoubtedly impressive, but it seemed too reliant on the epoch-making virtual reality technology, which often overshadowed the charm of the game itself.
It seemed that if this game were not released on the Mirage virtual reality platform, but on PC or VR, it might not have achieved such heights.
But âTraveler of the Windâ and âLight Encounterâ were different. No one doubted that even if these two games were on different platforms, their inherent charm as games would not be overshadowed.
Of course, Lincoln didnât care about such opinions. What a waste of breath!
âAssassinsâ Allianceâ was originally made to take full advantage of virtual reality technology, and now youâre talking about not releasing it on a virtual reality platform?
Ignoring facts and just insisting on your own opinions?
Lincoln was itching to blacklist this media.
But it seemed a bit too pushy and it would easily leave the impression that he was petty, intolerant of any questioning, especially when they were still praising his new game.
In the end, he decided to let it go.
âIâll give you one more chance.â
Lincoln wrote down the name of this media in his notebook..
