Chapter 138: Chapter 136: Under the Spotlight (Extra Update)
Translator: 549690339
Xu Wen tried to calm himself down, opened the web page, and attempted to search for information about this “Aweso Law Firm.” But after searching high and low, he couldn’t find any information.
Even the law firm’s official social dia account was nonexistent!
As for trying to figure out who Cloud Dream’s representing lawyer was and their track record, he didn’t even know where to begin.
Just then, a ssage appeared in a group that had been silent for many days.
“I got sued by Cloud Dream?”
What happened? Were there others being sued too?
Xu Wen hurriedly opened the group and found out that it was the “Anti-Cloud
Dream Alliance.”
The person who posted the ssage was from one of the dia outlets that had previously accused Lincoln of “forging an official seal” -C Player Tribe]. He quickly asked, “You guys got sued by Cloud Dream too?”
The mont the ssage was sent, a similar ssage appeared almost simultaneously.
[All-Powerful Guide Team]: “You guys got sued by Cloud Dream too?”
“???” Xu Wen was even more shocked. What was going on? Three dia companies were being sued by Cloud Dream at the sa ti?
The people in charge of the other two dia outlets were also angrily ranting in the group, cursing Cloud Dream for their unscrupulous behavior. “If they want a lawsuit, then let there be a lawsuit! Who’s afraid!? We’ll drag it out for a year or so, and in the end, we’ll just have to compensate them with a few trivial things. Do they think we’ll be scared?!”
Xu Wen caught the main point: all three dia outlets, including Sanwen
dia, had been involved in accusing Lincoln of ‘forging the official seal.’
Since Lincoln had already initiated the lawsuit, it was very likely that he had evidence from the beginning, making it difficult to win the case. Still, he needed to consult a lawyer first.
Xu Wen logged in to his official account and deleted the content related to the “forging official seal” accusation against Lincoln while searching for a reliable law firm.
At the sa ti, he left a ssage in the group, “Right! We can’t give up! Who’s afraid?!”
Even if they sought an out-of-court settlent in the end, it would be better for other idiots to bump heads with Lincoln, so he ca out with the least loss.
On the other hand, NetDragon R&D Center.
As always, Warner once again issued a notice for all employees to start purchasing.
What was different this ti is that he finally understood why thousands of employees couldn’t get a single device before – Lincoln’s announcent to crack down on scalpers undoubtedly affected them too.
One could only say that they were affected, not mistakenly hurt – because what they were doing was indeed the sa as scalping, but with no intention of reselling them.
In fact, Warner was even inspired by this announcent: even without the anti-scalping asures, Cloud Dream might have rejected requests from NetDragon IP addresses.
After all, their relationship was not just business competitors – they were completely enemies now!
Although NetDragon had enjoyed so advantages at the beginning, they had been beaten up ever since.
In conclusion, he learned his lesson and required all employees to use mobile networks for purchasing while reminding everyone in the group to have the devices shipped to their hos instead of the company.
Just in case, Warner allowed everyone to go to work two hours later than usual so they could place orders at ho!
In the end, whoever got the device and handed it in would receive a raise! A bonus of 50,000 Yuan!
It’s no wonder that Warner was anxious. One week ago, he had obtained 12 Mirage Consoles from the Market Departnt, which he promptly disassembled and reverse-engineered.
As for the results, it’s not like there weren’t any – they had completed the analysis of most of Mirage’s headband and internal hardware components.
The conclusion was: it was very simple, with no difficulties in copying. Any random researcher could assemble it.
But there was one particular component in the console that they couldn’t understand at all – the neural modulator-demodulator.
It was easy for them to guess the function of this thing – to convert telecommunication signals into neural signals and vice versa. But how was it made? And how did it work smoothly?
They were at a complete loss.
Warner encountered great difficulties in hacking the microchips.
During this week, the 12 microchips disassembled from the 12 Mirage consoles were distributed. All research groups tried their hands at non-invasive cracking thods.
The result was — nothing gained!
Warner then had no choice but to order invasive hacking thods.
This physical attack thod not only risked damaging the microchips but also required professional equipnt, a lot of ti, energy, and unavoidable massive expenses.
As soon as the research on physical hacking began, Warner unsurprisingly found that these microchips indeed had very complex anti-physical attack asures!
The deadline he promised in the eting was getting closer, and Warner’s thods beca increasingly extensive. In one week, a full 8 microchips had been completely destroyed during the hacking process.
They had wasted a lot of money and energy, but the result was still — nothing gained!
Now, Warner urgently needed to replenish a batch of new microchips, or else research would co to a halt!
However, getting hold of Cloud Dream’s Mirage console was still not an easy task.
Although he had avoided the traps that Lincoln and Xiaong had been blocking all along, who else was watching the Cloud Dream Mirage sales page now?
It wasn’t just the players.
The “Middle-aged Money Making Group” Shuihuas was invited to join was just the tip of the iceberg.
Making money is not limited to n or won, nor to the young or old!
Many anchors even worried that they might not be able to grab one of the 5 million consoles!
So they publicly stated in their live stream: If they themselves can’t grab the console, and any of their audience do, please contact them, they are willing to buy it at 8 or even 10 tis the price!
After all, being an anchor is not as glamorous as it seems to outsiders. If you lag behind your peers too much and miss out on trending traffic, the losses are hard to estimate.
It could even lead to a decline in popularity.
Even famous anchors, unless you are genuinely unique and irreplaceable, will always be in a competitive industry. Being a little slack ans you could be dead in the water.
Interestingly, so anchors, after publicly stating that they “might buy” the console, would nervously emphasize: “It’s purely for personal use. Absolutely not for resale! There’s no idea of making money from it! Please don’t mistake for a scaloer! I’m truly not one!”
This was a lingering influence after Cloud Dream publicly issued a letter prohibiting a group of anchors from streaming Cloud Dream’s gas.
Even though nearly three weeks had passed, the deterrent effect was still astonishing.
Finally, amidst the anticipation of tens of thousands, the ti had co.
[Saturday, 08:00]
Without waking up the still-sleeping Lincoln, Xiaong swiftly put up the 5 million Mirage consoles for sale.
Then she imdiately added a purchase option for the “Assassins’ Alliance” in-ga store page, with a selling price of 500 yuan.
This price was higher than computer and household console gas but much cheaper than VR gas.
The ga review area also opened at the sa ti.
However, most of the attention was still firmly focused on the Mirage console sales page, with no ti to notice these changes.
Even many people who already owned the console wanted to join in the excitent and see how long it would take for the consoles to sell out.
Of course, there were also quite a few players who wanted to log into “Assassins’ Alliance” imdiately. They didn’t hesitate to pay and start downloading the ga.
Then they were imdiately surprised to discover the ga was ready?!
They didn’t understand why it was so fast, but they couldn’t worry about that now. Logging into the ga as soon as possible was the most important thing!
But they were still stopped outside.
— Because the Mirage console finally received its first major update..
