Samuel hurriedly entered the bossâs office, asking Lincoln if he needed to appease the players.
After all, looking at the comment section, the players seemed to be on the verge of rioting.
But Lincoln was very calm, even reassuring her: âItâs a small matter, donât worry about it.â
âBut itâs only been a few minutes, and itâs already on the hourly trending topics list!â Samuel couldnât calm down, âAt this rate, it might get scolded onto the hot search list!â
âIsnât that better?â Lincoln was quite happy, âOnce itâs on the hot search list, more netizens will see it!â
ââŠâ Samuel was silent for a moment, âMore netizens will scold it tooâŠâ âThink about it this way, how many people have seen the trailer by now?â
Samuel lowered her head and looked at her mobile phone, âThe view count on the three platforms has exceeded 8 million; even considering multiple views, at least over 4 million players have seen it.â âHow many comments are there?â
âOver 83,000.â
âThere you go! Only a minority commented. And besides, after a while, when the playersâ excitement dies down, the calm comments will regain the upper hand. No need to worry, no need to worry.â
Samuel really wanted to say: there could be many people scolding it in their hearts but not saying it in the commentsâŠ
But it was still inappropriate to directly debunk the bossâs claim, so she could only pray he was right.
âAlso, whoâs the âDreamâ you added as a special thanks?â Samuel asked about another doubt.
âA friend who helped a lot with getting the game done so quickly.â
Lincoln briefly explained and then, without waiting for Samuel to continue asking, cut off the conversation: âLetâs not talk about that for now. Thereâs something else I need you to help me with.â
âWhat is it?â
Lincoln took out a USB drive from his pocket and handed it to Samuel, âTake this and go through the review and rating process again.â
Samuelâs eyes widened, throwing her previous doubts to the back of her mind.
A terrifying thought crossed her mind, and she unusually lost her composure, exclaiming in a much louder voice than usual: âAnother new game?â
âAre you even human?
âNo, no, no.â Lincoln waved his hands repeatedly, âItâs actually the public map of Metropolis. I extracted it from âAssassinsâ Allianceâ and wanted to re-rate it.â
âI see.â Samuel breathed a sigh of relief, her excitement subsiding.
But soon, she became puzzled again: âWhy do you need to rate it separately?â
Lincoln explained: âThe amusement park is now open to players under 16. Metropolis is also something weâve worked hard on, and weâre still constantly updating and expanding its content. It would be a waste to not let players see it.â
âI see.â Samuel nodded, âI understand, Iâll prepare the information and send it over before the end of work.â
Lincolnâs real purpose was actually a bit more than that, but he didnât want to explain further; he thought it would be too troublesome.
His plan was to make more use of Metropolis, which could not only have [Metropolis Honorary Citizens], but also [Light Encounter Honorary Players], [Wind Traveler Honorary Players], and even [Night City Honorary Citizens].
But the prerequisite for all these was to unify the ratings.
Otherwise. the honorary plavers of the all-ages casual games would not be able
to enter Metropolis.
Even the Honorary Players of âAssassinsâ Allianceâ wouldnât be able to enter [17+] rated Night City for some peopleâŠ
So the public map should be extracted from the game, and the combat elements that cause the rating to increase should be removed, making it an all-ages map.
Afterwards, he would also make a copy of Night City, likewise removing content that raises the rating and linking it with Metropolis.
âOf course, considering Night Cityâs âspecial service industryâ was a bit excessive, the task might be a bit troublesomeâŠ
But itâs all a matter of effort!
Just give Fred an arranged date as a break, and while heâs not around, modify the map. It should be done pretty quickly.
Just as Samuel left the office with her new task, Randall came over.
âToday, the office move had already been announced to be completed, and Randallâs team was among the last two groups to move over.
The original office was also being kept as a base for the marketing and legal departments.
On his first day at the new company, Randall rushed to see Lincoln right away as he felt his operations team had been neglected for quite some time.
His purpose was straightforward: âAssassinsâ Alliance, itâs time to prepare for the official competition, right?â
Yes, the previously held Freedom Day event had been grand and lively.
But in the end, it was still an in-game event and not an official esports competition.
After that event, however, Lincolnâs enthusiasm for âcompetitionsâ had already been mostly exhaustedâŠ
Soâ
âYes, it can definitely proceed.â Lincoln nodded seriously.
âThen, the preparation for the âAssassinsâ Allianceâ Esports competition officially begins now. You have complete decision-making authority for all related matters! Samuel can assist you with competition-related matters. If necessary, you can also bring in relevant talents as long as they pass the background check, and you can make all the decisions.â
Randall stared at Lincoln in surprise, only managing to say one word after a moment- âHuh?â
Obviously, he did not expect Lincoln to leave everything in his hands and take a hands-off approachâŠ
âAt least take a look at the competition plan?â Randall tried to negotiate. âNo, no, I wonât get involved. I believe you guys can do a great job! Keep it up!â If it were any other time, Lincoln might compromise a little.
However, Lincoln felt justified this time: you think I want to be a hands-off manager? Isnât it to make time to build a game cabin for your wife?! So, hurry up and get it done without further negotiation!
Randall sighed helplessly and left Lincolnâs office.
Before entering the virtual world, Lincoln took a final look at the employeesâ posts.
Liang Tian took a week off, stating that he would return to his hometown to set up an Experience Store.
After more than half a month, the five branches of the Cloud Dream Experience Store opened by Liang Tian had all entered stable operation, with the guests lining up every day.
Each store had a reliable store manager, and after ensuring that no faults would easily occur, Liang Tian took a leave of absence to return to his hometown, the county town, to bring the latest games and equipment to the local players.
So, Lincoln changed the request from [Leave] to [Business Trip], and after confirming, he left a message for him:
âTen years of drinking ice, the enthusiasm remains unwaveringâ
âKeep it upâ
Aside from Liang Tian, there was Jerome.
JĂ©r?meâs flight to Izumo was about to take off.
Jerome had been very busy this week;
First, he led the team to acquire two IPS in two days and spent a day interviewing and training two subordinates, almost personally letting them familiarize themselves with the work they had to do later.
As for the negotiations with brands seeking to collaborate, they chose to suspend for now.
Because so far, none of the companies that have reached cooperation with Cloud Dream are nobodies; they must be very cautious.
After finishing these tasks, Jerome finally embarked on a plane to visit overseas partners.
Itâs hard to ensure that the information obtained through telephone calls or invitations for face-to-face talks is reliable.
So far, not a single piece of information about Cloud Dreamâs partner selection has leaked out, so the public knows nothing.
Even the staff from the marketing department on the plane still think they are just going abroad to acquire IPs.
Only after the plane lands will Jerome officially announce the purpose of the trip.
Lincoln quickly sent a text message wishing him a smooth journey.
Then, he entered the virtual world with ease.
At four in the afternoon, Samuel had all the materials ready and prepared to submit them for review, but couldnât help but open the trailerâs comment section to see if the players had calmed down.
Then he was surprised to find out that the situation was developing just as the boss had predicted.
In the comment section, a large number of players had already calmed down and started discussing the content of the trailer.
But the content, wellâŠ
âFine, let me tell you: behind the door is a fairytale-style candy amusement park where all the rides can be eaten directly!â
âDonât listen to that nonsense upstairs, they canât be eaten at all, theyâre for cream pie fights!â
âBoth of you are talking rubbish, itâs clearly a water gun battle! Divide into two teams and spray sugar syrup at each other with large-caliber water guns, and in the end, the winning team is determined by the coverage of the sugar syrupâŠâ
â??? Did I participate in a fake closed beta? Isnât it a big eater contest, to see who can eat the most?â
Yes, the players, who had originally thought that the trailer would expose all the true and false insiders and fun-loving people, found out:
That damn teaser actually extended their lives by a day!
Why not take this opportunity to improve their performance? How could they not take advantage of the chance given by Cloud Dream?!
