At first, when Jenny said “Two cities, 20% off for the whole venue,” the screen was full of question marks.
Obviously, everyone was caught off guard by this turn of events.
One mont, they were mourning, and the next mont they were offering 20% off?!
Are you guys mourning or celebrating?!
The ensuing “Chosen One” offer was even more outrageous, with a bunch of amazing discounts.
But upon closer inspection, those “privileges” seed more like traps to lure consurs into spending!
Comnters imdiately started floating around various jokes:
“Only a fool would believe this!”
“Chosen Unlucky Guy”
“No, no! You keep it!”
Until the last line, when the words “New World Travel Ticket” appeared.
Almost without any interval, the attitude of the comnts underwent a 180-degree change, and their numbers began to skyrocket:
“! ! !”
“Pick ! Pick !”
“Please! This is the request of my life!”
“Can this thing be traded? Just na your price!”
The comnts went crazy, densely covering the entire screen.
People hadn’t fully grasped the aning of the “New World Travel Ticket” yet, but they were instantly aware of its value.
—This could very likely be an early access pass to Cloud Dream’s next ga!
A new ga from Cloud Dream!
Who wouldn’t want that?!
Camille Victoria couldn’t help but send out a ssage: “! ! !”
Unfortunately, the special event ended there, leaving everyone without more information and discussing among themselves in the comnt section.
“Since there’s a ‘New World Travel Ticket,’ does that an ‘New World’ is already finished?”
“Absolutely! Does this ticket an we can experience the ga prior to closed beta?”
“Cloud Dream’s efficiency is as impressive as ever!”
“Then can we know when the new ga will have a wide-scale closed beta? When will it be released? When will the trailer co out? Hurry up!”
Camille Victoria kept scrolling down, watching people discussing and guessing aimlessly. Not only Lincoln didn’t react, but not even a single mber of the “uncle gang” appeared.
So she also posted a comnt:
“@Cloud Dream Office Daily, it’s ti for the Uncle gang to co forward! Sacrifice your work for the happiness of everyone!”
Afterward, Camille Victoria closed the comnt section and went to check out the second hottest topic—#Lincoln·Martial Arts Master?#
This ti it was a post from a player, with a video titled:
“This is a video my friend sent , I swear I’m not a bandit! I didn’t go to the concert to make trouble! Really!!!”
The player clearly didn’t feel secure about this, creating a blank account specifically to post this video.
—He’s probably genuinely afraid of being found out.
“Cautious.” Camille Victoria praised before opening the video.
This was precisely the video from last night when Lincoln fought the bandits outside the rest area door, but from the bandit’s perspective.
Throughout the short video of only 2 minutes and 17 seconds, Lincoln imposed a suprely formidable presence on them.
His cold gaze, swift movents, rhythmic transitions between offense and defense, and unwavering decisiveness to exchange injuries for damage all made one word co to their minds—expert!
Especially when Lincoln, injured all over and only with his right eye open, expressionlessly looked over, Camille Victoria felt intimidated even through the screen.
The comnts were practically unanimous: “Fierce!”, “So fierce!”, “Too fierce!”
Camille Victoria’s later appearance also drew a wave of surprised exclamations: “Who are you, beautiful woman!”
But the video ended there.
The “bandit friend” who posted this video seed unwilling to show the part where they were beaten by the crowd.
The comnt section was a ss, with people marveling at Lincoln’s hidden talents and wondering about the identity of the “swords-wielding beauty in white.”
Camille’s disguised image had already stirred widespread speculation last night.
Many people, upon seeing her being invited on stage by Alex, began searching for her information to determine who she was.
But everyone ca up empty-handed, only finding so people who resembled her sowhat but were quickly proven to not be her.
Now that it’s discovered she not only sings well but is also a hidden martial arts expert, their enthusiasm for finding her identity has soared!
However, facing a fabricated image, their efforts were destined to be in vain.
From beginning to end, only Alex, Lincoln, Mavis, and Shuihua knew that this was Camille Victoria.
—Even the staff of Alex’s studio and Cloud Dream staff didn’t know who this person really was.
The “Speed Chase” developnt team tried to look up the player information, but could only receive a “Permission insufficient” feedback.
So, this would likely beco an unsolved mystery in the entertainnt circle.
As for the gaming circle, well… the players didn’t have much persistence over things beyond the ga. The popularity of this matter would not last more than one week.
As it is now, the comnt section quickly shifted targets and moved the discussion back to Lincoln.
Moreover, soon enough, soone caught the important point and posted a long post—
“Hasn’t anyone realized? Lincoln’s background has always been public, and there has never been any record of martial arts training. Considering the ti when cold weapon expert Xu Chun joined Cloud Dream, it’s obvious that Lincoln had just started learning martial arts as well. So under what circumstances would Lincoln need to learn martial arts?”
“If it were soone else, I would believe that their martial arts training might simply be due to personal interests and hobbies.”
“But as everyone knows, Lincoln’s hobby is slacking off—this has been confird by Cloud Dream veteran employee Cheryl—So it’s very likely that Lincoln learned martial arts for work-related purposes.”
“So, the question arises, what work could require this at Cloud Dream?”
“Think of the loom in the middle of the Cloud Dream Experience Store, and think of Little Milkshake’s path to fa; everything was already foreshadowed!”
“I have a strong hunch that Cloud Dream is in the process of creating a kung fu thed ga!”
“I have to say it—if it’s not true, then I’ll wash my hair standing upside down!”
As soon as this prediction ca out, it caused quite a stir.
Countless people began to tag Lincoln fanatically, hoping that he could co forward and confirm this guess.
Kung fu thes have natural popularity in Daxia!
Everyone simply couldn’t resist the temptation—especially after thinking about experiencing becoming a martial arts master in the virtual world—it was exciting just to think about it.
At this mont, looking at Lincoln’s performance in the video, thinking about the powerful skill buffs in the ga, and adding so imagination, it makes people’s blood boil.
It’s simply—too exciting to wait!
“…” Lincoln, watching the player post shown by Mavis, felt speechless.
Such a reaction is actually a good thing.
It ans that after Virtual Chang’an is released, it’s likely to be even more successful than expected, and the publicity work will be very easy to do.
But the problem is—
The ga hasn’t even taken shape yet!
—Alright, maybe it has taken so shape?
If Lincoln had to estimate the progress, he feels about—
City Building Area: 60%
Combat System Architecture: 40%
New Sensory Data Collection: 20%
Main Storyline: 5%
Level Design: 0%
In Lincoln’s plan, after completing all the sensory data needed for “Battlefield”, the ti remaining for work will be fully shifted to the sensory data needed for “Virtual Chang’an”.
Not only the ancient alcohol ntioned before, but also various ancient objects, swords, antiques, and more… so much work to do.
So Lincoln really wanted to reply to the players—”You guys are getting excited too early!”
At least wait for “Battlefield” to be released before you get too excited!
But apparently, this is not a smart move.
It might prematurely raise the players’ expectations, steal the lilight from the soon-to-be-released new ga, and cause the current and future gas to compete against each other.
At this mont, the wisest choice should be: Neither confirm nor deny.
Let the players guess for themselves.
And it’s best to throw out a new focus point, divert the players’ attention for a while, and then turn it back when needed in the future.
As it happens, he does have a suitable focus point on hand to throw out.
So, when the players were extrely excited and even started to guess the historical background and gaplay of this “kung fu ga”, Lincoln updated a Spiritual Rhinoceros status—
“Next Tuesday afternoon 2:30 PM, Cloud Dream Live Streaming Platform’s first broadcast.
Live Streaming Content: Flying in a twin-wing propeller fighter.
In addition, 40 lucky viewers will be selected to participate in the Sky Players Gathering.
For friends who are interested, don’t miss the ti.
Oh, right, there’s also the new ga you guys care about!
Cloud Dream will soon launch closed beta tests for two new gas. You can look forward to it!”
—Although neither of these two new gas has anything to do with “kung fu”…
