This night, Warehouse Bird, Chasing Wind, and their teammates may have been eliminated, but they've also beco famous.
All the teams that ranked first in their groups and advanced to the knockout stage started re-examining the "miscellaneous items" that would appear in the competition maps.
Before today, these things were completely ignored.
In fact, many teams even worked overti that night, going into the ga to test the effects of the Fire Dragon Fireworks.
It can be expected that in future matches, the appearance rate of these fireworks will not be too low.
As the one who discovered this unconventional weapon, Warehouse Bird was easily rembered by all the players who had watched the match.
However, at this mont, Warehouse Bird had no interest in paying attention to all of this.
Despite drinking and having late-night snacks with his teammates after the match, which took up a lot of ti, he didn't go to sleep when he returned to the hotel very late. Instead, he fought off his tiredness, logged into the long-prepared "Speed Chase," and entered Night City!
── Naturally, the hotel rooms prepared by Cloud Dream for the contestants ca equipped with the latest Mirage 2.0 consoles.
As a hardcore ga enthusiast, Warehouse Bird had been paying close attention to the news of "Speed Chase."
He purchased it imdiately as soon as the ga was released.
However, since he had to concentrate on preparing for the last group match, he hadn't even had the chance to read any related news, let alone play the ga.
Before logging in, his impression of the ga was still mostly from the closed beta.
As for new information, Warehouse Bird only knew that there seed to be a dog in the ga, and many people seed to be cursing Lincoln and Cloud Dream.
But he didn't care at all.
Please, he's a hardcore gar, why would he care about a dog?
As for the cursing, Warehouse Bird ignored it completely.
── He had full trust in Lincoln and Cloud Dream's capabilities and sincerity! They would never deceive their players!
"I'm already a whole day behind! Without triggering the anti-addiction system, I should still have two hours to play, so I'll go in and explore first."
Warehouse Bird skillfully lay down on the bed, adjusted his waist position, and issued a command ──
"Log in!"
After the command was entered, the headband automatically activated.
"Night City, here I co!"
*
Saturday morning.
Warehouse Bird opened his eyes and removed the headband.
He didn't say anything, but his eyes were red. It was unclear whether it was due to bloodshot eyes from getting up too early and not getting enough sleep, or because he was so angry at Lincoln that his eyes were turning red.
"F*ck!"
Warehouse Bird succinctly cursed and then took out his mobile phone to log in to Spiritual Rhinoceros and edit a post:
"@Lincoln, damn it!"
But reason stopped him at the last mont, causing him to change three words before sending it out ──
"@Lincoln, are you human?"
Last night, he had only just started playing. Due to winning the match, his ntality was a bit inflated, and he got into a fight with a few gangsters at the gas station.
As a result, he was beaten up, his dog killed, and his antique car stolen.
After resurrecting, he didn't think he had lost due to poor skills but rather because he was drunk, which led to his slow reflexes. With that in mind, he decided to go to bed and fight again after waking up the next day.
Today, he got up early, logged into the ga, and went to the gas station to seek revenge, ard with a knife and a tal pipe, leaving his dog at ho.
However, his opponents also took out tal sticks. Outnumbered, he was beaten up again and had his car stolen.
Warehouse Bird refused to accept defeat and reset the tiline.
This ti, he launched a sneak attack, stabbing one to death and injuring another. Just when he was about to win, his opponent pulled out a gun...
How frustrated Warehouse Bird was at that mont!
But he had to return ho today, so he had to log off the ga first, no matter how frustrated he was.
After cursing at Lincoln, Warehouse Bird changed his attitude from not taking the ga seriously to logging into the ga forum on his way ho, starting to seriously read the guides...

Cloud Dream Spiritual Rhinoceros post updated.
This was the ti for the new ga consoles.
Many netizens who had set special attention to Cloud Dream were initially excited when they heard the notification sound, thinking that Lincoln and Cloud Dream were finally going to say sothing.
But when they saw the ti, their interest quickly dwindled─
This was the ti for the new ga consoles.
Upon clicking, they found that it was indeed ──
"25 million Mirage 2.0 consoles, now available!"
Very perfunctory.
Before, when they announced new consoles, they would write a few lines about the advantages, achievents, and gas that could be played on the consoles, and even include so pictures of the consoles and gas.
But now, the announcents had beco very laid-back, just a simple notification - even the exclamation point seed routine.
Just when the disappointed netizens were about to close the page, they saw a new post pop up.
This ti it was not a line of text, but a video.
The video title read -
"Cloud Dream 001 Pet Employee [Milkshake] Player Appreciation et and Greet"
Everyone was surprised and delighted, and they hurriedly clicked on the video.
In the screen, Little Milkshake obediently squatted on the table, waiting for Cheryl in front of it to give it its work badge.
──Cheryl had been appearing on the[Cloud Dream Office Daily]account from ti to ti and was already recognized as the "Cloud Dream Official Insider" with a not-so-low reputation. Many netizens recognized her at a glance.
Behind Milkshake, there were a few cats lined up.
Occasionally, so of the cats would lose patience and try to slip away. A hand would reach in from outside the fra, gently stroking the lined-up cats and calming them down to stay in place.
──That was the cats' owner.
The ti-stamp in the top left corner of the screen read ──[09/23｜14:30]
It was more than a month ago, when the Cloud Dream Office had just moved.
Cheryl showed the little tal work badge for Milkshake to the lens, and then hung it on Milkshake's collar.
After that, the lens switched, and Milkshake was squatting on the small sofa, looking at the lens with great interest, sotis approaching it and sniffing it curiously.
Opposite Milkshake, Cheryl held a microphone and pretended to interview Milkshake seriously—
"Miss Milkshake, hello! Yesterday, 'Speed Chase' was officially released, and by midnight, it has sold a total of 12.33 million copies, breaking the first-day sales record of 'Assassins' Alliance'. What do you think of this?"
Cheryl handed the microphone to Little Milkshake.
Little Milkshake: "Woof!"
Cheryl took the microphone back: "Well, with such an astonishingly high exposure, what do you think of this as your official debut?"
Little Milkshake: "Woof woof!"
Cheryl showed a slightly awkward expression: "Don't you have any more thoughts? Everyone wants to hear."
Little Milkshake: "Woof woof! Woof!"
Cheryl took the microphone back again: "We can see that your official debut has caused a huge sensation on the Internet, even occupying the top spot on the hot search list and staying on the trending charts for almost the whole day. Do you have anything to say about this?"
Little Milkshake: "Woof! Woof woof!"
Cheryl: "Oh! Really? You want to hold an offline handshake event to thank everyone for their support? There will be 100 signed photos given out at the scene? That's really great!"
Little Milkshake tilted its head: "Woof?"
But Cheryl wasn't looking at it anymore; instead, she was speaking directly to the lens: "To thank everyone for their support, tomorrow afternoon, Little Milkshake will hold an offline fans eting... sorry, it's an 'Offline Players Thank you eting' to get close with everyone! If you're interested, you can click on the top link in the comnt section to sign up for a chance to participate."
"Also, the developnt team of 'Speed Chase' will also be present at the scene to thank everyone for their support."
"So, the first episode of Cloud Dream Pet Employee Interview is over. We'll et again if fate allows!"
The video ended.
However, after watching the video, netizens were a little confused.
What was the aning of this?
Was this an interview? It was too outrageous!
For a ti, comnts were all over the place:
"Seeing Little Milkshake alive and well, I shed tears of gratitude."
"What does this an? Is Lincoln up to sothing new again?"
"001! Is this the advantage of having the boss as your backstage? @Lincoln, is Boss Lin in need of more pets? How do you think I am?"
"Shocking statent found upstairs!"
"Little Milkshake is so cute, the interview was interesting, but the emotional damage I suffered couldn't be relieved. @Lincoln, I haven't forgiven you yet!"
"He slipped up at the end! What thank you eting, it's obviously a fan eting! But - I'm in!"
"Handshake event? Would it be shaking Little Milkshake's paw?"
...
This video was also simultaneously released on multiple platforms, and gradually, as more netizens participated in the interaction, the two most important questions also erged.
The first comnt on the video website was:
'100 quotas? You're bluffing ghosts?! Justice is not enough, people don't follow! Let give you a number! 1 million!'
The first comnt on the Spiritual Rhinoceros was:
'I don't an any harm; I just want to confirm that Lincoln, as Milkshake's master, will be there, right?'
Below this comnt were countless replies: "Sa question, I have a little gift I want to give him."
The accompanied pictures were various outrageous "gifts."
Kitchen knives, razor blades, banners, etc., were nothing unusual.
However, strange items included wheelchairs, crutches, bandages, painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs, pesticides, and even abortion drugs...
Lincoln imdiately closed the comnt section.
"Forget it, let Cheryl take Milkshake with her."
"As for the problem that most people don't have a sense of participation..." Lincoln thought for a mont, "Why not let Milkshake work a little harder, and get more signed photos? 1000?"
The so-called signed photos were actually Milkshake stepping on the back of the photos with its dog paw.
To be honest, with Lincoln's feeling, most players were just joining in the fun and would be more boisterous online.
Would they really fly to Xiajing City the next day just to touch a dog in reality?
There can't be so many dog enthusiasts!
If there were, they wouldn't lack dogs in their own hos. Why not just pet their own dogs?
So, having Fred and a few others go to the scene to thank players for their support would be the real essence of the thank you eting.
Even the signed photos where Little Milkshake stepped on with dog paws, Lincoln doubted whether players were genuinely interested.
He thought 1000 was too many, even considering numbering each photo.
Otherwise, he was worried that nobody would want them, and the leftovers at the company would beco a laughingstock...
"Let's leave it like that for now! Just ask Milkshake and Cheryl to work hard." Lincoln quickly picked up his mobile phone, wrote a mo, and asked Mavis to send it to Cheryl on Monday.

After finishing this task, he logged into the virtual world to find Mavis after eating breakfast.
Today, they were going to watch an important live broadcast together.
Before today, if one person could be described as "the entire player circle waiting for his live broadcast," it would have been Shuihua, barely fitting the description.
But today, it was true that there was soone entirely fit for this description!
Even Shuihua had to stand aside!
Definitely the center of anticipation! The center of the center in position C!
He was — Ye Lang a bit big.
Half an hour before Ye Lang's regular live broadcast ti, a large number of players arrived to stake out the live broadcast room.
Even Lincoln was no exception, after having breakfast, he went to find Mavis, opened the live broadcast room and put it aside, afraid of missing it.
After all, watching a rough man who likes lewd conversation dressed in won's clothing, switching places with the object he used to tease, doing so "empathy" - it sounded interesting to think about.
With Ye Lang's current attention, the possibility of shirking was almost nonexistent.
During yesterday's live broadcast, countless audiences were constantly urging. If he didn't take action today, his popularity might start to backfire.
So for Ye Lang, dressing up in won's clothing had beco imminent, a must-do!
