The next day, as soon as Lincoln arrived at the company, he saw Fred coming over with an aggressive air, which made him feel a bit guilty.
Last night, Mavis had specifically shown Lincoln the footage of Wu Yu and Fred chatting in the virtual world.
— What happens in the virtual world is hard to hide from Mavis’s eyes, let alone that Lincoln had specifically asked her to keep watch.
Fred’s expression went from confused, to calm with a hint of smug, to puzzled and slightly uneasy, which was a fascinating series of changes.
Especially when Fred enthusiastically asked Wu Yu which departnt she had joined and her position, offering his help if she needed it.
At the ntion of [Ergency dical Team·Psychological Counselor], Fred’s face turned green.
Lincoln and Mavis laughed heartlessly.
As a result, when Lincoln saw Fred coming over aggressively, it was impossible not to feel guilty.
“Boss, about…” To Lincoln’s surprise, Fred didn’t co over to bla him imdiately, but seed a bit hesitant.
“Can I take a look at Wu Yu’s resu?”
“Huh?” Lincoln looked at him in surprise, “There’s no need for a retaliatory strike, is there?”
“Huh?” Fred was even more shocked, “What retaliatory strike?”
“If you’re not trying to strike back, why do you want to see soone else’s resu?” Lincoln was puzzled.
“Well, I just want to know more about her.”
“Huh?” Lincoln felt like he was playing a ga with Fred called [Who’s More Surprised], because he felt even more surprised himself!
“Have you fallen for her? Didn’t you just et her for the first ti yesterday? Don’t you like matchmaking anymore? No, wait, do you really like won?” Lincoln felt a million question marks popping up in his head.
Lincoln had a million question marks in his head, but Fred’s head wasn’t lacking in question marks either—
“Who likes matchmaking! It was a last resort! If there’s a choice, who’d want to go matchmaking?”
Bullshit, you obviously enjoy matchmaking, Lincoln didn’t believe:
“Tell honestly, have I ever exploited you at Cloud Dream? Did I give you less salary and bonus, or is it that you’re off work too late at 5 p.m., leaving you no ti to find a partner so you have to go to matchmaking events?”
“But, that…” Fred was sowhat tongue-tied, “That’s just inertia from the start, isn’t it? I haven’t been matchmaking since either!”
“Isn’t it because you were busy leading the team to develop ‘Speed Chase’ that you didn’t have the mood to even attend those events after work?” Lincoln hit the nail on the head.
Fred seed to have been hit in a sore spot and couldn’t refute it for a while. But after a mont, he suddenly beca depressed.
“Actually, after the ga was launched, I went to a matchmaking event. I found myself suddenly in high demand.”
“Huh?” Lincoln didn’t understand why he was saying this: “So what?”
“But I suddenly lost interest.”
“So, why is that?” Lincoln asked hollowly, “Is it because you only enjoy it when no one pays attention to you, and your potential partners all look down on you?”
“What?” Fred was stunned, “No, of course not! I an, it feels like they’re all after my money and job, all because of my conditions, not as a person…””
“Ah, is that so…” Lincoln felt very surprised.
He didn’t expect Fred, who had a veteran driver’s attitude in the ga, to be rather innocent about this…
“Isn’t your money, your future, your material conditions, part of your talent, values, ideals and ambitions? Is money necessarily more vulgar than talent?” Lincoln tried to persuade Fred.
But as soon as the words ca out, he imdiately regretted it.
“Forget it, I also think money is more vulgar than talent… let’s skip this topic.”
Lincoln tried to get the conversation back on track: “So, you don’t want to go to matchmaking events anymore, instead you focus on coworkers, and this newcor imdiately touched your heart, but you’re not good at interacting with girls outside of matchmaking, so you want to learn more about her.”
“Is that what you an?”
“Yes, yes, yes.” Fred nodded repeatedly.
“The thing is, a lot of the content on resus is private. Secretly digging into other people’s privacy like that, if found out, you’ll be called a straight man, right?” Lincoln whispered, “I’m willing to keep it a secret for you, but, before you ca to , you didn’t go to Sister Qiao first, did you?”
“Huh?” Fred was taken aback, “I went to her first, she told to co find you.”
Lincoln covered his face on the spot, “It’s over, do you believe it, now probably all the girls in the company know about this…”
“Ah?!” Fred was shocked, “No way, right?”
“Of course…” Lincoln never doubted everyone’s gossiping.
“What do we do?” Fred was a little panicked.
“…Forget it, just pretend you don’t know.” Lincoln was also helpless.
“Here’s the thing, forget the resu. You probably don’t know, but I have a system here that does a preliminary screening of job applicants’ resus based on their past Internet footprint.”
“This information is all public, and it’s more helpful for you to understand what kind of person she is than a resu.”
“Alright, thanks, boss.” Fred couldn’t get any excitent, leaving with mixed emotions.
Lincoln shook his head, feeling powerless.
However, he suddenly thought of sothing interesting.
Cloud Dream’s employees are screened before they join the company, ensuring that they have a relatively normal set of values. After they join the company, they have little work pressure and are well paid.
This basically guarantees that Cloud Dream employees are high-quality candidates for marriage from both “ntal” and “material” aspects.
Does this not an that these people would beco quite in demand in the dating market?
I wonder if this counts as making a contribution to society?As Lincoln daydreams in his office, NetDragon gets into a tense state early on.
Not until ten o’clock arrives.
“Blaze 3·Red Fla”, fully launched simultaneously across regions and platforms!
Jason, Gary, and even Richard were all focused on one data point—
The number of players online.
Everyone knew that at this ti, there was little hope for sales, as most players who had played the “Blaze 3” base ga had access to the free DLC, making it difficult to generate sales.
But as long as the number of players online went up and word of mouth was turned around, there would be hope for both the ga itself and this DLC to make a coback!
And the initial situation was very good!
The online player count of “Blaze 3”, which had already hit rock bottom, suddenly began to grow by hundreds and thousands of tis!
By just half an hour after launch, more than three million people were online!
800,000 people in Daxia’s dostic market, while 2.2 million were from overseas regions!
This was happening on a workday morning!
Jason was overjoyed, while Gary imdiately left the live broadcast rooms of the partnered anchors to start browsing the entire ga live streaming sections.
Soon he found that three major web live platforms in Daxia, two major mobile live streaming apps, and countless anchors had started streaming “Blaze 3·Red Fla” without any prior agreent.
A quick scan showed that it was almost on par with “Speed Chase”!
Except for a few “Paradise” anchor sticklers still stubbornly running the Candy Track, almost all other live streaming screens were dominated by these two gas.
And Gary had only signed up twenty-three anchors for this collaboration.
Which ant that most of these anchors were playing the DLC entirely on their own initiative!
The current situation was even better than the best-case scenario Gary and Jason had imagined!
How could this be the decline of VR gas? It looked more like they were directly competing with each other, and neither was losing ground!
Even on overseas live streaming platforms, many anchors were streaming this expansion pack.
—Although the titles of their streams still had keywords like “filling the hole”, “repentance”, and “giving one more chance”.
But exposure was still exposure!
This astonishing performance undoubtedly shocked the industry.
Everyone was surprised to find that NetDragon, which had been in decline for several months and was thought to be on the wane, had unexpectedly staged this impressive coback without any warning!
After the surprise, many people couldn’t help but think: “Could it be that Lincoln’s judgnt was wrong, and it’s nowhere near ti for VR gas to be eliminated?”
As for what the players were talking about online—farewell, last ti and so on, it was all just talk.
Seeing was believing, and the current situation where both sides were competing against each other was clearly displayed before everyone’s eyes!
Online rates, popularity, and exposure were all more credible than hollow words.
And NetDragon was on par with Cloud Dream, so who could say that it was inferior!
Countless new players who had never played VR gas before were particularly shocked by the scene.
These people had only started playing and learning about gaming due to Cloud Dream’s continuous expansion of the gaming market, so they were especially surprised by what was happening now.
Many of them even took the initiative to learn about VR gas.
Because it was obvious at a glance from the live stream: VR gas and virtual reality gas are two completely different types of gas.
And the number of gars watching live ga streams at this ti had increased by who knows how much compared to before Cloud Dream was born.
As a result, many people who had no prior understanding of VR gas had gained exposure to VR gas through this opportunity, even to the point of considering purchasing VR equipnt.
After all, people’s needs are diverse, and VR gas have developed precisely because they cater to the needs of a certain group of people. With demand, exposure, and available products, there will naturally be sales.
This was another unexpected pleasant surprise for NetDragon.
And it wasn’t just NetDragon that was pleasantly surprised. Wild Island and Flying Fox both got a taste too.
This taste made Flying Fox sowhat hesitant, wondering whether the decision to shut down the factory and completely transition was a bit hasty.
However, this taste also gave Wild Island more confidence: they wanted to explore more possibilities on the path of VR gaming!
Was this a sign that VR gas still had greater potential?
Or was it just a brief resurgence?
No one could tell for sure at the mont, not even Zoe—who had previously surveyed both industries in-depth and had the perspective of an outsider.
Everyone needed more ti to observe and see the outco of NetDragon’s desperate battle.
Although the result of this battle was no longer related to the domination of the gaming industry—because Cloud Dream’s position was already unshakable—
the result of this battle could, to a large extent, determine the future direction of VR gaming.
