Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Despite the boisterous atmosphere both online and offline, Lincoln felt relieved.

These two guys seemed quite reasonable, and the paint splashed only on the wall, not on people, which was not a big deal.

Although it seemed like a huge drama in the live broadcast room with hundreds of thousands of viewers and a big crowd holding their mobile phones and streaming online, in reality, it was just a simple public security case.

So, in the end, it might just be a fine of a few hundred dollars. After all, they only splashed paint on the wall, not on people.

It made a huge difference.

Even if the “Gaming Starry Sky” wanted to pursue it, it would be difficult to reach a detention based on public security. At most, it might be a fine of a few hundred more dollars.

Not a big deal.

In the end, the police arrived, and the live broadcast room was closed.

Mavis generously gave them ten rocket gifts, and Lincoln also playfully gave ten rocket gifts. With these gifts, the two guys had made up for their costs.

Lincoln then stopped paying attention to this matter.

Instead, he remembered the anchor who vowed yesterday not to end the live stream until he had completed the collection and decided to visit and give them the rocket gifts as he had promised.

He needed to keep his word.

Also, the cost of this advertisement was extremely low.

At this moment, the anchor named Yi had successfully completed the collection, living up to his strong-willed ID.

However, instead of quickly logging off after finishing the marathon live streaming, he stood at the starting point, pondering like he had entered a short sage time.

But when he opened his mouth, he said, ‘Brothers, is there any way to find the person who played with me for a while?”

Since he was doing a full collection, he spent a long time in each level, occasionally encountering other players, but they usually quickly completed the level and moved on while he refused to move on without finding all the runes, so they quickly parted ways.

There was only one player who didn’t leave immediately. That player had reached the monument to complete the level and move on.

But when Yi saw that there were four rune slots at the monument and only two of them were lit, he resonated and bid farewell to that player, turning around to look for the missing runes.

Surprisingly, that player followed him and helped him find the remaining runes.

The two played together for a long time, but that player eventually couldn’t hold on and logged off first.

Now that Yi had completed the game, he wanted to find that player who accompanied him on part of the journey after expressing his admiration for the deep impression the game had left him.

The audience in the barrage was also giving him suggestions.

But in the end, it was nothing more than making video appeals to fans for forwarding and hoping that the person might see it.

Some even said in the barrage to email Cloud Dream Studio because the server must have player data.

At this moment, Lincoln appeared and gave 20 rocket gifts and left a message, “Don’t think about it, it’s impossible to help find people. Just think of it as a brief encounter with a stranger, isn’t that good too?”

Lincoln’s appearance undoubtedly ignited the enthusiasm of the audience in the live broadcast room.

“Boss shows up! Look at my Master Ball!”

“Front row petting the boss! How’s the console production going? I’ll die if I can’t buy a console!”

“It’s been a day, and the new batch of consoles hasn’t been released yet? The production team’s donkeys dare not rest this much!”

“Boss Lin, I’ve seen a lot of anchors and players posting online to find players they’ve encountered in ‘Traveler of the Wind.’ Can’t you really provide a way to add friends?”

Lincoln simply left a message: “Enjoy the pleasure of brief encounters.” Then he fled, as the audience was too difficult to deal with.

It was true what the barrage said. Although there were only 200,000 units in the first batch and even less than one-tenth completed the game quickly, the number of posts on the theme of “seeking the stranger encountered in the journey” was still rapidly increasing.

Many were launching online campaigns, hoping that Lincoln would add a function to add players encountered in the game as friends.

Lincoln pretended not to see.

Anyway, the second round of the game would have a friend function, and as for the first round, leaving some regrets was the most beautiful thing, wasn’t it?

Lincoln finally had a peaceful and leisurely time in the following days.

Occasionally, he would check the progress of the unmanned factory and watch live streams with Mavis on social networks.

The only real work was at Liang Tian’s request when Cloud Dream Experience Store officially opened.

With Lincoln’s full support and driven by great enthusiasm, Liang Tian acted incredibly efficiently, visiting five places to find storefronts and reserving locations every day.

Finally, in just two days, they settled on a location and found a very powerful decoration team on the same day. The renovation only took three days from approving the blueprints to completion.

The location was great, covering nearly 300 square meters in Xiajing City, which was quite impressive. After all, commercial spaces with good locations were not always available for rent.

The decor was simple, with a large display area in the middle left empty by Lincoln.

Lincoln brought 100 sets of equipment from the factory in advance and taught Liang Tian how to use and maintain them. Then he asked him to start recruiting, first for training, and then start trial operations when the time was right.

Liang Tian asked when the right time would be.

Lincoln checked the release time of NetDragon’s “Blaze 3” and said only one sentence, “Soon, very soon.”

“You’d better hurry.”

“No problem!” Liang Tian was full of energy from head to toe!

With the opening time of the Experience Store settled, Lincoln went home to his workspace.

This used to be the largest of the three studies in the house, but Lincoln felt he didn’t need three studies, at least not for now.

The house’s study design catered to the needs of a family of three, with one study for the father, one for the mother, and one for the child.

Lincoln thought the designer had issues, so he bought a bunch of equipment and transformed the space into his own workspace.

However, there were no high-tech or even electronic devices in the workspace now.

Instead, it was a piece of 19th-century high-end equipment – a loom.

Modelled after the “Destiny Weaver” in “Assassins’ Alliance,” it was slightly modified and miniaturized.

Lincoln was now making final adjustments to the blueprints, and once finished, he would bring the materials and equipment to the Experience Store to create a replica of the original piece.

No one made these things anymore, so Lincoln had to make one himself.

The large display area in the middle of the Experience Store was left for it. Another day went by.

The day that Randall, Richard, Lincoln and the players had been waiting for finally arrived.

On this morning. NetDragon officially appounced:

The latest installment of the Blaze series – “Blaze 3” – is now available worldwide!
