On Wednesday, Samuel led his team to complete this week’s “Metropolitan News”.

Once confirmed to be error-free, it was released immediately.

Camille Victoria had been obsessed with socializing in “Light Encounter” for the past few days. She hadn’t logged into the Metropolis virtual world for three days, even pulling several of her group friends into “Light Encounter”.

Every day, she either ran errands to exchange candles for rewards or looked for nice places to take pictures.

Occasionally, the audience would comment, expressing their desire to see her play “Assassins’ Alliance”.

But not only did she refuse, but she also persuaded her viewers: “Spending all your time fighting and killing isn’t friendly at all. The world is so beautiful, yet you’re so aggressive. That’s not good, not good at all! I recommend you all to play ‘Light Encounter’! Wash away the negative energy and regain your inner peace. ”

Super Tomato, on the other hand, was trying to organize a small fishing contest.

“Assassins’ Alliance” limits each virtual world to having only 10 players, greatly restricting the players’ ability to enjoy the game to the fullest.

Players have been petitioning to raise the player limit, but Cloud Dream remained unmoved, leaving the players feeling powerless.

Super Tomato took advantage of his fan group, after recruiting and registering, he used ten live stream rooms to simultaneously broadcast ten virtual world “regional competition” to hold a fishing tournament for 100 people.

The championship prize was a high-rise mansion in the Metropolis Second Ring area.

However, more players were interested in having fun than winning the prize. With over 3000 people registering, Super Tomato had to randomly select 100 participants.

It wasn’t easy to coordinate the broadcasts of 10 rooms. The idea of managing 300 rooms for a 3000 -people tournament was an absolute headache.

Roger, the world record holder of “Assassins’ Alliance”, was pondering whether to make a comeback and compete for the championship once again.

His retirement was originally due to an unexpected injury. He had not won a championship in his entire career, so he could not possibly be satisfied with this.

However. the emergence of virtual reality games provided him with a second

chance, reigniting his desire for the championship like a wildfire.

Being the first to complete the game had already proven his talent. He was still unmatched in the virtual world, so winning a championship was not a wild dream!

However, he was now stuck at the first step towards winning a championship:

finding a team.

It was not easy. eSports clubs have mature selection and operation mechanisms. Virtual reality games came out too soon. Although these clubs were adapting, they could not possibly adjust instantly.

From the clubs’ selection methods and training methods down to the diet and daily schedule of professional players, everything needed adjustments.

But could they abandon previous competitions?

At least for now, it was impossible!

The competitions by Cloud Dream were yet to be announced. The situation at each club was a bit awkward, and the existing systems were subject to change.

Just like gears interlocking tightly, only needing the lever to push it. However, Cloud Dream did not make the push.

They were eager but did not dare to carry out massive reforms.

Roger did not want to rejoin his old team. The club did not perform well when he was injured.

As a result, he was rolling in an awkward situation, unable to find a team temporarily.

He could only focus on training every day, try to find high-level players in the group for PVP, to improve his combat level.

Beyond that, he could only wait.

Wait for the launch of the first virtual reality game competition, and wait for the day when the opportunity comes!

“Metropolitan News” was updated simultaneously on Spiritual Rhinoceros and pilipilli.

Whether it was professional players, big and small anchors on various live streaming platforms, or players who were just messing around for fun, hundreds of millions of players poured in.

The operation teams of the two platforms started expanding capacity like crazy. Cloud Dream went against its normal behavior by releasing the video suddenly on a Wednesday, catching them off guard.

Fortunately, Cloud Dream’s account had always been closely monitored, so it was not overwhelmed by the sudden influx of users.

At the beginning of the video, the audience hasn’t had time to see the content yet, and they are already firing off comments expressing confusion.

“What’s going on? What’s going on?”

“Releasing the video two days early, something’s up!”

“As an old man, I predict that something big is about to happen!”

“High energy warning!”

Limit the screen area for comments to 1/4, reduce the font size by 30%, and the density on the screen to 20%!

Camille Victoria quickly operates to make the barrage sparse and no longer affect her and the audience watching the video together.

The opening is still a short drama. The male host is standing in the familiar storage room again, but all the eye-catching baseball bats are gone.

The storage room is divided into two areas. One wall is hung with all kinds of weapons, from pistols, rifles, submachine guns, to sniper rifles, everything you can imagine, it’s like an arsenal.

The other side is a shelf full of adult toys, and a lot of blue medical boxes are stacked up, which is quite a number.

Immediately, a barrage of comments was spat out: “Aren’t the items in this storage room arranged according to the comments from the last episode’s players?

“Very likely! I remember very clearly, many people were led astray by the joke about the hunter and the bear, all hesitating between sending guns or medicine.”

“Good fellow, as a result, CloudDream simply didn’t choose, and arranged everything.”

‘What use does the question serve? Do you really think you can use adult toys in the studio?!”

“I was actually looking forward to it…”

But of course such a thing could not possibly happen…

—after all, this video was produced under the guidance of Samuel.

However, Lincoln felt that if Fred were to make this episode, he might actually come up with something big enough to make headlines…

Inside the video, the male host shakes his head, takes off a bulletproof vest, puts it under his clothes, and leaves the storage room.

The dramatic effect of this mini-drama is significantly reduced because the weight of the big news they want to report on is already huge. They want the players to focus more on the content, so it’s not appropriate to make the mini-drama too outrageous as it would steal too much of the players’ attention.

“Metropolis is going to establish an online real estate transaction center where players can conveniently buy, sell, rent, and perform other operations on properties from home.”

“Metropolis Bank will provide commercial home loans for homeowners to help players buy more properties.”

“Starting next week, Metropolis will implement a dynamic house price mechanism. The value of your property will no longer remain stagnant. Will your property appreciate or depreciate? Will you become a millionaire or go bankrupt overnight?”

“Unleash your business talent!”

“Buy Metropolis? A key that can open all doors?”

“Anything is possible!”

A particularly shiny golden key appeared on the screen at the right time, exuding a tantalizing appeal.

Camille Victoria was so excited she couldn’t put it into words: “A golden key! If I buy every house that’s available in Metropolis, will I get a key that can unlock every door?”

“Does the shopping mall count?” “Does the bank vault count?” “Does the safe count?”

“No matter what, this key is mine!”

In that moment, countless people had the same thought as her.

Everyone thought they could become rich.

But, risks always coexist with opportunities..
