Chapter 800: Chapter 759: The Secretly Activated Invitation Letter
After watching the promotional material, Lincoln imdiately understood Wild Island’s plan.
It had to be said that it was a very clever approach.
It indeed seed very risky, but if nothing went wrong, the hope of a turnaround was substantial.
After all, there was nothing like this on the market before.
Although VR gas could exercise the body in the past, that was just an additional effect of the gas.
When giants like NetDragon, Flying Fox, and Wild Island developed gas, their focus was mostly on the ga content itself and not on the exercise factor.
At most, developers would pay attention to players’ movents to avoid muscle strains during gaplay – which did happen in the early days.
Other than that, their focus was on adjusting ga plot content and distributing players’ energy reasonably to prolong ga ti as much as possible.
There had never been a ga whose developnt goal was for players to “get the best exercise effect from their bodies.”
So Wild Island’s move essentially filled a gap in the market.
Lincoln imdiately thought of the motion-sensing gas from his previous life, which had a considerable influence on gars worldwide.
If nothing went wrong, Wild Island might indeed find a way out.
Lincoln even thought of their follow-up developnt strategies:
First: After removing the helt, continue to streamline the equipnt and further reduce the production cost of the Fourth Generation equipnt so that the price could be pushed down as low as possible, ideally close to Mirage 2.0’s price, lowering the entry barrier for players.
Second: Invest in publicity, promoting the concepts of “healthy gaming” and “healthy living.”
Third: Hold competitive events to further activate the social features of “Iron Fist.”
Fourth: Launch more fitness and sports gas with strong interaction and social connections.
If “Iron Fist” has excellent quality and good luck, Wild Island could not only make a turnaround but might also take off on the spot!
After all, they have the most powerful “social” gas.
“So, shall we give them a surprise?” Lincoln suddenly thought maliciously, “bring out the fitness ring?”
“No, no, no, that’s too small-minded!”
“The readymade [Eight Sides] helm can completely cover the technology needed for motion-sensing gas!”
For Cloud Dream, developing motion-sensing gas is not difficult at all.
Even the technical teams of [Journey Prosthetics] can accomplish this without Cloud Dream Headquarters getting involved.
The technology they uncovered in the field of [Mixed Reality·Pathfinding] is enough for sports gas.
As long as various magical creatures can guide the users along the path, a yoga master can naturally demonstrate standard yoga moves to the user face-to-face.
However, thinking of Cloud Dream’s packed developnt schedule and the looming release dates of new gas, Lincoln’s maliciousness subsided…
As for letting [Journey Prosthetics] make gas just to crush Wild Island, it’s like asking for trouble.
Their relationship with Wild Island is not hostile.
On the other hand, Wild Island being alive is more advantageous for Cloud Dream than dead.
They could even try to buy Wild Island!
Or half of it?
“Anyway, I wish them good luck!”
Having had enough entertainnt, Lincoln threw off the blanket and got up.
It wasn’t that he was done being lazy, but he was hungry.
“Master, you forgot sothing!” Mavis, who hadn’t gotten up, sat on the bed and called out to Lincoln.
‘?’ Lincoln turned to Mavis, thought for a mont, and decisively bent down to pick her up.
The headband provided him with sensory feedback as realistic as the real thing, allowing him to feel Mavis’s warm, soft body when he held her.
Mavis giggled happily but shook her head and said, “Not that!”
“Not that?” Lincoln was a bit confused.
He thought Mavis was just being cute and asking for a hug, but that wasn’t the case.
“So, what is it?”
“It’s an invitation letter!” Mavis swayed her little legs happily and answered.
“An invitation to ‘Chang’an’? Let’s talk about it later.”
In the end, a significant number of players in [Giant Dragon Invasion] gave up their actual ga benefits and made a wish to enter ‘Chang’an’ early.
So, invitation letters were sent out like this.
But the problem was: there were just too many invitations sent out!
If it were only a few hundred, there would be no problem letting those players get a sneak peek after signing a confidentiality agreent.
But now it’s hundreds of thousands of people!
Letting them in would create chaos…
So these invitations had to be frozen for a while, allowing the developnt team more ti to prepare.
Lincoln didn’t want to think about work during his ti off, but Mavis kept bringing it up, so he threw her up in the air and caught her to scare her as punishnt.
“Ah! Haha~” Mavis exclaid in surprise, then clung tightly to Lincoln to avoid being thrown again.
She didn’t dare keep him guessing anymore and hurriedly revealed the answer: “It’s not an invitation to ‘Chang’an’, but to ‘Pokémon’!”
“Ah?” Lincoln recalled a few seconds later, the invitation that ca with the small dinosaur when players achieved the Dinosaur Island [Ancestors’ Glory] series.
When ‘Pokémon’ developnt was on track, Lincoln had ntioned activating the invitation on New Year’s Day for so early marketing and pre-launch publicity.
It was a necessary thing to do; otherwise, a surprise attack without a sound would be fun, but the players wouldn’t have the [Eight Sides] Helm, making the ga unplayable…
——Mirage can’t play ‘Pokémon’.
“Well, according to the plan, activate it.”
While talking, Lincoln had already carried Mavis out of the bedroom and put her on the bathroom counter as they started brushing their teeth together.
*
At the sa ti, all players who have achieved [Ancestors’ Glory] found that the pure black[mysterious invitation letter]at their hos silently turned into the cartoonish[‘Pokémon’ invitation letter], which flashed a few tis and then beca quiet again.
The whole process didn’t give players any hints.
So no one discovered this for the entire morning.
It wasn’t until lunchti that people started posting online about seeing strange creatures.
The most viewed post was from a blind girl with the ID[Joyce is happy every day].
At first, the content of her account was mostly about daily life encounters of a blind person and happy monts. But since the [Eight Sides] went on sale, Joyce regained her sight, and her account content changed dramatically.
Without any hesitation, she quickly married her boyfriend.
From then on, Seventy percent of her account content beca videos of their sweet married life, twenty percent was due to her being happy and excited about things she couldn’t see before, and the remaining ten percent were her thank you ssages for Lincoln.
But today, she only posted a picture without a video, and the caption was also interesting——
[Today, I saw a strange unicorn-like creature eating pansies in the flower bed of my apartnt complex. It startled ! But for so reason, I couldn’t take a picture of it with my phone, and my husband couldn’t see it either. It’s so strange. Does anyone know what that is?]
There were no “unicorn-like strange creatures” in the picture – just an empty flower bed and ordinary pansies.
At first, her fans thought it was a joke:
“Don’t call him your boyfriend, call him your husband!”
“Is this so kind of ‘only smart people can see it, but idiots can’t’ ga?”
“You can see it, but your phone and others can’t… do you have the legendary Yin-Yang Eye?”
“Could this be so kind of on? You should check if you’re pregnant.”
…
Such jokes continued for quite a while.
It wasn’t until more and more similar posts sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain that people finally realized: this wasn’t a joke, and sothing important was really happening.
What had happened?
Players whose curiosity had been piqued transford into detectives and quickly identified the common point among these posters——
When they saw the magical creatures, they were all wearing the [Eight Sides] Helm!
