Chapter 294: Chapter 292: Everyone is Responsible for Taking Care of Novice Players
Translator: 549690339
At the outset of her interview with Lincoln and Cloud Dream, Zoe was indeed driven by a deep-seated intention to analyze them.
However, as the conversation unfolded, she found herself not chatting with an entrepreneur or a businessman, but conversing with an idealist full of goodwill towards the general public, especially the disadvantaged.
This feeling was intensified time and again during subsequent interviews she conducted with the prosthetic company, the Journey Plan, and the focus headband.
The more she got to know about Lincoln, the more she felt she was approaching a saint.
She quickly took a look at Lincolnâs Spiritual Rhinoceros homepage and his bizarrely sarcastic and scathing posts helped to fade her absurd impressions.
However, as a reporter, she was sure to divulge the authentic details gained from the interview.
Except for the part about educational innovation.
The account she penned on this subject, was filled with her amazement at this technology, and echoes her foresight of the immense transformation zones the education sector will transition into.
However, when she submitted the article, the Chief Editor sought her out, persuaded her with coaxing words and promised that once it was officially public, the original article would be reprinted uncut, and the in-depth report would be assigned to her.
That unequivocally led the piece she crafted to possess the form it currently takes.
But this was already more than enough!
Just look at the comment section:
âI was severely ill as a child, and my body has always been weak. After playing VR games for 20 minutes, my hands and feet cramp and I sweat profusely. But in VR games, I can play till the anti-addiction prompts pop up! What more needs to be said?â
âAfter a car accident, I bought the Flying Dragon Second Generation for 80,000 at home and sold it for 58,000, believing Iâd bid gaming farewell for the rest of my life. Thanks to Lincoln, thanks to the virtual environment.â
âParalyzed for eight years, never thought Iâd experience the joy of free movement again. Thank you, Lincoln.â
âBorn blind, for the first time, I saw the world clearly with the help of the Eight Sides headband. Only now do I realize that the past twenty-one years were nothing but a hazy survival. Now I can truly say I am living.â
âAccidentally lost my hearing for three years. Hearing sounds again, even the annoying noises I once found irritating sound wonderful.â
These were normal and understandable comments from netizens.
However, some netizensâ comments were not so normal.
The kind of stuff youâd spurt out if youâre high on booze or hallucinogenic mushrooms:
âDo you know why dinosaurs became extinct? Itâs because their arms were too short to clap for Lincoln!â
âI always use Lincolnâs picture as a screensaver because angels will protect me!â
âLife is short, and itâs because Lincoln is too sweet!â
âLincoln is the love of all people!â
âLincoln, Lincoln! Take me away! How can I live without you!â
As Mavis laughed her heart out, she jotted down the latter kinds of comments, eager to show them to Lincoln and see his reaction!
Unfortunately, Lincoln wasnât in the virtual world at the moment. He was in the âUnderground Air Raid Shelter Testing Roomâ, trying his hand at creating a game cabin.
The equipment that was originally in the home workshop was also moved to the laboratory, thanks to Yue Pengju getting security team staff to move it.
While Mavis was recording these wonderfully cheesy flatteries, she kept a keen eye on Lincolnâs posts.
Since upgrading to the luxurious new home â Dongting Supercomputing, she now had the capacity to assist Lincoln with his research while having the spare time to enjoy the hot gossip and unfolding dramas.
Her happiness levels were significantly boosted!
At the same time, she tried to keep Lincoln away from these comments as much as possible, to keep the surprise intact for later!
Lincoln, obligingly engrossed in his work, paid no attention to social media whatsoever.
After all, Mavis always kept him posted on important matters, so he never worried about missing out on anything.
Intensely focused on his work, two days passed by swiftly.
During these two days, the gaming circle was continuously immersed in a lively and cheerful atmosphere.
First, there was Yi, the âhotspot characterâ who had 150,000 viewers watching him wake up after sleeping through an entire night of live streaming.
After skipping the live streaming, he quietly went online to play games, only to be caught red-handed by his fans.
More coincidentally, in that round, there were three players who turned out to be his fans.
Moreover, it was the [Water Rise Climb] race track, a timed run where the water level keeps rising and if it goes over your neck, youâre immediately eliminated.
Yi hadnât run much and was immediately surrounded by three fans.
One in front, one on each side, pinning him between them as they run and chat, asking him what it feels like to be watched by â150 million people while sleepingâ, while urging him to start his live stream.
The water was rising rapidly behind him. There was a person blocking his way up front, and people on either side were babbling at him: âWhy are you playing games but not live streaming?â
âDoesnât it feel like youâre working for free when youâre playing games but not live streaming?â
Under such circumstances, anyone would lose focus. In the end, all three were knocked over by a giant rolling ball and were flushed out of the game!
What Yi found most absurd was that the three of them who had been chattering throughout the game had the audacity to ask him for a friend slot!
Unfortunately for him, one of them had been a hardcore fan for a long time. In the end, he reluctantly added them as a friend.
After the game, Yi grudgingly turned down the hardcore fanâs invitation to team up and play together.
He swiftly accessed the panel, located the gameâs feedback channel, and voiced his dissatisfaction:
âWhy doesnât this game have a limit to the number of friends? Please add it ASAP! Iâm waiting online. Itâs urgent!â
On Camille Victoriaâs side, she was still continuing her âThirty crowns, wonât stop broadcasting until I get them allâ plan on the second day.
Yes, she had disgracefully ended her broadcast yesterday.
After joining Shuihuaâs team, she, Shuihua, and Lance became a trio, joining the four-person team competition, and a random player was matched to join them in each round.
In fact, Camille Victoria started to regret as soon as she joined the team and saw Shuihua and LanceâŠ
Her relationship with Shuihua wasnât just a mere teammate relationship thatâs shown to the public.
As old friends who got acquainted in âTraveler of the Windâ, they have chatted a lot privately, so Camille Victoria was very aware of the situation between
Lance and Shuihua.
Thatâs why she felt like a third wheel when she saw the two of them playing games together.
If she was just a third wheel, Camille Victoria wouldnât be afraid, but they arenât actually a couple yet, so she canât even properly be a third wheel!
She might even be standing in the way of their progressâŠ
This made Camille Victoria feel guilty, frequently casting apologetic glances at
Lance.
But the audiences didnât know about these complicated psychological dynamics!
So in their eyes, her behavior becameâ
âOh no, sheâs looking at him for the fourth time already! Camille Victoria must be falling for him!â âNo, please promise me to be a single fairy for the rest of your life, okay?â âMy youth is over!â
âCamille Victoria, meeting someone you like is a good thing, but stealing your best friendâs man isnât goodâŠâ
âSnap out of it, old woman, that young man isnât even an adult yet!â
âFifth time! Pay attention to your image!â
Lance also noticed Camille Victoriaâs gazes, feeling rather perplexed: why do you keep looking at me?
Only Shuihua was carefree, enjoying the whole process like a child.
Especially when they ended up on tracks like [Breaking Through Doors], [Tiptoe], and [Jungle Adventure] that heavily relied on luck, Shuihua was extremely excited.
Although the unheard-of situation of âbeing chosen by fateâ didnât happen again, the path Shuihua chose often had a 70-80% chance of being correct!
On such tracks, it was really easy for Shuihua to secure a spot in the top three!
The only problem wasâthe [Candy Track] didnât have that many lanes that tested luckâŠ
The tracks that tested skills and abilities were far more common than those that tested luck.
Even though Lance was there for the skill -related tracks, and could make up for a lot, taking the first place and getting the crown was still not an easy task.
Camille Victoria was kicked out by the Anti-Addiction System before she managed to get 25 crowns.
Then she got up at 7 in the morning, opened Yiâs live broadcast room, and barely made it through more than half an hour.
Only after watching Yiâs wonderful performance after he woke up, was she satisfied enough to go back to sleep.
She slept all the way till the afternoon and only woke up because her stomach wonât stop grumbling.
After eating the takeout, she immediately logged in and continued to strive.
Live broadcast room titleâ
â30 crowns, wonât stop broadcasting until I get them all! (25/30)â
The audiences that flooded in, immediately began to tease when they saw the title:
âWonât stop broadcasting until I get them allâunless she really canât get them.â
âI keep my wordâunless I donât.â
âWho has such a big tone? Oh, itâs 25/30. Okay, never mind.â
âIndeed, thereâs nothing to worry about now.
This is already the second day since the game was released.
After such a long time gaming, the weight of the wrap has been finely adjusted according to the winning rate, making the game more fair.
The hidden-evaluation mechanism for players also began to take effect.
After a few matches, you always come across somewhat weaker opponents. As long as you play long enough, you can surely get those five crowns.
âEven if your skills are so poor to the point you always lose in the millions of online playersâŠ
Thatâs still fine!
Lincoln has thoughtfully arranged for stupid robots to accompany you and play.
Anyway, he will overcome all difficulties to make sure you experience the joy of triumph.
Lincoln called this backup plan theâHumanistic Care System.
After all, elite players can only determine the gameâs operation limit, while average players are actually the main base of the game!
Thereforeâ
Caring for novice players is everyoneâs responsibility!
