Lincoln stood like a wooden man at the school gate, waiting for fans to come over for photos, which was quite an interesting feeling.
Yue Pengju stood not far away, watching the crowd passing by with vigilance.
Luckily, Lincoln was always wearing a mask by himself when going outside, so nobody surrounded him.
His classmates weren’t silly either, they only came by themselves, not dragging a bunch of outsiders to join in the excitement.
There wasn’t much to talk about afterward, everyone just took turns taking individual photos, and then there was a group photo.
It wasn’t until everyone had their fill of taking photos that a few people gathered around to share their dog-raising experiences with Lincoln.
However, Lincoln soon realized that asking his classmates about their dog-raising experiences might be a mistake.
Some of them raised dogs like their own sons, talking all about what they should eat for months, what they can’t eat, how to interact, how to train, and even how to educate them!
Others let their dogs run wild, “As long as they have something to eat, it’s fine!” It made Lincoln feel conflicted.
Finally, after saying goodbye to everyone and the crowd slowly dispersed,
Lincoln was about to leave when he saw a familiar car parked not far away.
The car door opened, and Camille Victoria, with her ponytail, jogged over with a patter of footsteps.
“Lin, wait for me!”
“Don’t you have classes today?” Lincoln asked curiously.
He knew a little about the schedule of this intern. Mondays and Tuesdays were often busy with various courses. Camille Victoria was a true genius, not only proficient in guqin, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but also decent at them.
Not only that, she had also taken classes in dance, tea art, flower arrangement, archery, cooking, and many more.
Lincoln had never seen someone with so many talents, it was quite intimidating.
Yes, Lincoln found it terrifying, it was hard to imagine how much effort would be required to master so many skills during one’s growth!
What’s even more unbelievable was that she still found time to volunteer at a children’s hospital, as seen occasionally on the news.
It was only during the recent period of interning at Cloud Dream that she reduced some courses.
“I’ve just finished my last flower arrangement class, and now I’m officially a master,” Camille Victoria was ecstatic as she now had some spare time.
Previously, in order to become a perfect princess, she used to fill her schedule completely.
But in the past month, she started to slowly end some of her courses and selectively keep her favorite ones so she could have more free time.
When Shuihua asked if she was finally going to experience the joy of being a “salted fish,” Camille Victoria said virtual gaming was interesting. “What? Are you here to…” Lincoln hesitated, “join the fun and take a photo?” “No… Can’t I?” Camille Victoria stuttered.
“Of course you can, but don’t you have plenty of chances to take photos with the boss?”
“I’m just a little intern, I wouldn’t dare to bother the big boss!” Camille Victoria said with a smile, “And it’s different in the school, right? You won’t be here often anymore, will you?”
After taking a photo with the familiar school scenery, Camille Victoria asked Lincoln, “Are you thinking of getting a dog?”
“Yes, that’s the plan, but I haven’t decided whether to keep it myself or let the company take care of it.”
“Oh…” The princess looked disappointed.
“What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”
“No, nothing,” Camille Victoria shook her head, “I know a fantastic dog farm!
They have a wide variety of dogs, do you want to go take a look?”
“Alright, I was planning on buying one anyway. We’ll figure it out once we buy it.”
So Lincoln followed Camille Victoria to get in the car, and under the princess’s guidance, Yue Pengju drove them towards the dog farm.
Jordan begrudgingly drove, following closely behind.
At the dog farm, Camille Victoria was even more excited than Lincoln, asking the owner all sorts of questions.
The dog farm owner recognized Camille Victoria, but didn’t show any special reaction and calmly introduced them to the dogs.
After asking about their needs, he led them to choose a dog while explaining the precautions in detail.
“Our puppies undergo regular health checks; we can guarantee their health and that they won’t have any hidden health issues.”
“However, if you decide to buy a one-month-old puppy, you will need to pay more attention, especially to vaccinations. After taking them home, be careful not to catch a cold when bathing them, and don’t bathe them immediately after they’ve been vaccinated. Also pay attention to cleaning their ears regularly…’”‘
Lincoln felt that it wasn’t as troublesome as he had imagined, and Camille
Victoria listened even more attentively, as if she was the one raising the dog.
When Lincoln was going to the company after buying the dog, Camille Victoria was still holding the one-month-old puppy, obviously reluctant to let go. “Why don’t I take you to the studio to have a look?” Lincoln had a sudden idea.
“Ah? Is that okay?”
“It’s fine; there aren’t many people awake in the company right now.” In fact,
there might only be two or three people awake.
Even Quentina had started getting used to handling work in the virtual world.
In her words: “Working in a beautiful environment is always more relaxing than working in a concrete jungle.”
Of course, this wasn’t the crucial point. The most important thing was that under Mavis’ management, all electronic devices in the studio would be monitored.
Lincoln could guarantee that Princess wouldn’t leave a trace on any camera during her visit to the studio.
Just as Lincoln expected, when Princess and the puppy entered the company together holding pet supplies, only two people were awake.
A new front desk girl was daydreaming, and Cheryl was petting a cat.
“Mind your own business.” Lincoln casually greeted the front desk girl and took Camille Victoria to find Cheryl.
“Cheryl, the company has an important task for you.”
“Wh-what task?” Cheryl was a little nervous.
Lincoln looked at Camille Victoria and saw her holding the little beagle tightly. She handed the puppy over with a pitiful expression when she realized Lincoln was looking.
Lincoln hesitated for a moment, “Didn’t you say you wanted to create a video account to record the lives of cats and dogs?”
Cheryl’s eyes lit up: “Yes! I actually studied directing! I can do a good job!”
“I believe you can.” Lincoln nodded decisively, “So, there’s a crucial task I want to give you now.”
Lincoln handed the beagle puppy to Cheryl: “Make this little guy our studio’s first star pet. Make sure as many players as possible witness its growth.” Cheryl, puzzled and confused, took the puppy: “Why?”
“In the upcoming game we’re working on, isn’t there an essential dog character?” Lincoln reminded her, “If the players don’t have any feelings for the dog, the story won’t be convincing, right?”
Actually, the players might not be able to develop deep emotions for the “late wife” they know little about through short clips, a few photos, or brief descriptions.
Let alone transferring such emotions to the dog left behind by the “late wife” that’s just wishful thinking.
That’s why Lincoln came up with this unconventional idea.
Cheryl blinked, realizing something.
Lincoln further explained: “If players become very familiar with the dog before entering the game, it’s best if they watch the dog grow up. That way, when they see the dog in the game, it’s easier for them to form an emotional connection.”
That would, of course, naturally motivate them to pursue the killer.
Cheryl’s mouth slowly opened.
– She was utterly shocked by her boss’s wickedness!
