Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 311: 309: If it’s true, I’ll do a handstand hair wash!

Just one day later, the amusement park became a paradise for both humans and animals.

This situation would continue until 4 am the next morning, when the animals would disperse.

When there are large groups of animals, the amusement park would dim its lights all night, becoming dark and quiet to facilitate the animals’ sleep.

Many players even stayed up late just to appreciate the sight of various animals curled up together, sleeping soundly in the silent night.

The animals slept so soundly that even if you reached out to stroke their fur, they would not easily wake up.

And even if you did wake them, they would simply glance groggily at you and then close their eyes and go right back to sleep.

Very interesting.

The next morning.

Kyle’s plan began.

Step one: Journey Prosthetics Company’s Spiritual Rhinoceros account released a promotional material.

“Since you’ve seen and heard the ‘Eight Sides,’ why not embark on the ‘Journey’?”

The promo begins with a camera following an engineer past an [Eight Sides Headband] and into a laboratory.

Inside the lab, engineers dressed similarly are busily at work.

The camera stops in the center of the lab, focusing on a leg prosthetic under development.

Researchers and engineers bustle around the prosthetic, sometimes gathering around it, other times dispersing to work on their own tasks.

Time moves from day to night, and the lights dim down before brightening again as the engineers disappear and reappear.

The footage begins to speed up, showing the engineers quickly moving and leaving behind white afterimages.

The focus remains on the prosthetic, as various details and components change, gradually taking shape and becoming exquisite, complete, and full of technological beauty.

Until it’s finally finished.

Then the acceleration stops, and the screen dims once more, leaving only the prosthetic in the center of the frame, reflecting the faint light in the night.

The scene brightens as someone carefully removes the prosthetic, attaching it to the leg of a young woman with a missing right leg.

It’s worth mentioning that this was actually for dramatic effect.

The first prosthetic in the lab wasn’t developed with any specific user in mind.

The reason it fit so well now was that they had urgently created it after deciding on the promotional strategy and selecting the actress.

The previous scenes of engineers working on the development were actually from when they had urgently made this prosthetic…

As for the young woman, her stage name is [Howard]. She’s actually a relatively famous model.

She isn’t famous within the modeling industry, but on the fringe of it.

Her fame comes from her persistence in pursuing her dream of being a model even after losing a leg.

As a result, although she struggled to make any progress in the modeling industry, she gained many fans and a high-profile in the world of short videos through coincidence and circumstance.

Wearing a headband, Howard looks astonished as she raises her prosthetic right leg, flexing her foot and toes with ease before stepping cautiously onto the soft carpet.

Her expression of surprise intensifies as the camera lowers, showing her alternating steps forward with both feet, barely revealing any flaws.

Joy spreads across her face as she carefully begins to run, and her steps gradually become more confident and quicker!

As she runs, the prosthetic changes shape, sometimes turning into a carbon fiber prosthetic, other times transforming into a metal and resin prosthetic, and sometimes even becoming a fully simulated prosthetic…

No matter which model it is, it runs incredibly flexibly and securely!

In the midst of the run, a line of text appears on-screen-

“Journey Prosthetics, embark on a brand-new journey!”

With this slogan, the promotional material ends.

It’s a day of celebration for people with physical disabilities.

Even if they don’t have lower limb disabilities but upper limb disabilities, they still feel thrilled.

Following the [Eight Sides] for visually and hearing impaired people, there’s now the [Journey] for lower limb disabled people, and the time gap between them is so short. It fully shows that for them, there are no significant technical difficulties.

So, how far off are the prosthetics for upper limb disabled people?

Before this wave of excitement had completely subsided, the second step of the promotional plan started.

The super famous internet celebrity, and traffic superstar “Lincoln,” reposted the Journey Prosthetics Company’s promotional material.

Leaving a comment, “Hey, I promised you guys, and I’ve kept my promise now. Even though I didn’t make it myself…”

Lincoln stayed up late last night doing research and went to bed late. He originally wanted to ask Mavis to post on his behalf.

But he didn’t want to miss the chance to tease the players, so he struggled to wake up. Without leaving his bed, he turned on his side, picked up his mobile phone, and posted the update.

Of course, Lincoln’s attention is extremely terrifying.

Basically, any content he posts can get hundreds of millions of views within 24 hours.

Often, his personal account attracts even more attention than Cloud Dream Games’ official account.

After all, you can’t see a super famous internet celebrity, renowned entrepreneur, and genius game developer casually mocking people on the official account.

This time is no exception. If the Journey Prosthetics promotional material only caused a sensation within a specific circle, most ordinary netizens would simply give it a like and scroll past.

Lincoln’s repost, however, broke through that circle in one fell swoop and turned this issue into a massive sensation.

Let all netizens be willing to spend a little more time to understand this matter.

But it doesn’t end there, as the third step of the publicity plan begins, after Lincoln brings the heat to the peak—

[Daxia Retired Veteran Service Center] posts:

‘Proposing a 2 billion special grant, subsidizing retired disabled military personnel to purchase non-invasive brain-controlled prosthetic limbs, and improving daily life for retired veterans.’

Lincoln Already knew this news from Henry and saw it as expected now.

But what comes next is beyond his expectations—

Step Four: [Daxia Disabled Persons’ Association] Spiritual Rhinoceros Official Account:

‘Suggesting a 5 billion grant, subsidizing Daxia disabled persons to purchase [Journey], [Eight Sides], and subsequent brain-controlled prosthetic limbs.’

This document also provides a detailed subsidy policy.

Lincoln took a quick look; mainly, the restraint is that subsidies can only be used to purchase basic prosthetic limbs itself.

Thanks to Kyle’s extensive professional experience, the [Journey] products is not as simple as [Eight Sides], containing only visual assistance, auditory assistance, and three combinations of both without different colors.

Under Kyle’s direction, the [Journey] series prosthetic limbs roughly come in three price points: Basic, Upgraded, and Ultimate Simulated Model.

However, under each price point, there are nearly ten different appearances and materials, which can match the different levels of disability and diverse aesthetic needs of disabled individuals.

As for the Daxia Disabled Persons’ Association, the practice is to ensure that the subsidy funds, even if only a few hundred per person, are used as much as possible for those with more pressing economic situations.

This is undoubtedly great news for those who genuinely need help.

After this combination punch, there is no doubt that it has aroused heated discussion on the Internet!

Amidst the heated discussions, Camille Victoria, the top female anchor in the gaming circle and the most well-known disabled anchor, suddenly opened her live broadcast room.

The format of the live broadcast was her first outdoor live broadcast since becoming a game streamer.

In the lens, Camille Victoria wore a floral skirt just covering her knees, laid out a picnic blanket by a lakeside, and began a live broadcast of an outdoor picnic in a fresh and simple style.

Familiar audiences quickly noticed the key point: How did Camille Victoria’s legs appear… all right?

Immediately, some viewers realized: This is the [Complete Simulation Prosthetic Limb] from the [Journey] series recently released by Prosthetic Journey Company.

“Isn’t it just released and not officially on the market yet? Did Camille Victoria get it already? Is this a network broadcaster?”

Camille Victoria then took out her mobile phone, opened the unread invitation letter, and showed it to the viewers.

“What I accidentally read before was not from Cloud Dream but from Prosthetic Journey Company. I took a leave of absence yesterday and didn’t broadcast, so I went to try it out~ How about it, isn’t it suitable?”

Having finished speaking, Camille Victoria stood up, bouncing around, and then ran around the picnic blanket for two laps, her joyful mood overflowing.

The audience could feel her joy and were happy for her:

“Suitable, very suitable! It looks great! the perfect imitations.”

“At least they have good taste!”

“Perfect buyer show!”

“Won’t they collect hundreds of endorsements?”

“It’s over, it’s good to have it in advance! Camille Victoria, wear more skirts, dance more, we all love to watch it!”

Watching the comments, Camille Victoria was also itching for more.

She has studied dance for years!

It’s just that after the accident and using prosthetic limbs, she never danced again.

But now, with her current prosthetic limbs, it feels like she can give it a try!

As she hesitates, a player in the live broadcast room finally realizes the question with hindsight—

“Doesn’t this mean that Cloud Dream didn’t find Camille Victoria to try their new equipment? So, there is no [Mirage 2.0]?”

As soon as this issue comes up, it immediately causes a huge reaction in the live broadcast room:

“It seems so! Then we guessed it wrong?”

“Great disappointment.jpg”

“This month’s biggest expectation is gone, alas.”

“Isn’t this the anchor misleading us? If there’s a pot, it must be the anchor’s fault!”

Camille Victoria saw the outrageous remarks, immediately crossed her arms and loudly refuted, “Fan behavior, please don’t raise it to the anchor!”

“I wanted to say it yesterday, but I didn’t open my mouth because I had to keep it secret…It’s obviously those of you who always want to make a big news! How can you blame me?”

Many players think it’s actually quite normal:

“This is reasonable! Where can a new generation of products be directly launched only three months after it went on sale? It simply doesn’t conform to commercial rules!”

“Yes, I thought it was wrong yesterday!”

“Think about it, it’s impossible! Which company would hurry to upgrade their main products that are selling very well? If there is, I will do a handstand hair wash, okay?!”

“That’s right, if there is, I’ll eat my display right now!”

“Dear Brother upstairs, don’t you want to eat something more exciting?”

“Shut up!” Camille Victoria quickly spoke up, blocking the dangerous development of the comments: “I’m about to eat something!”

But it’s too late…

The topic in the live broadcast room has quickly slid into the abyss of heavy tastes…
