This small live streaming room obviously didn’t have the same bustling atmosphere as Camille Victoria’s, and the promotional effect for “Traveler of the Wind” couldn’t compare at all.

However, the joy this scene brought to Lincoln was no less than that.

In fact, the idea of an experience pavilion sprouted in his heart immediately.

It’s not just being touched by the mother and daughter in the video, but for disabled people who can’t afford the equipment for the time being to enjoy the benefits of new technology as soon as possible.

Ten thousand yuan is undoubtedly much cheaper compared to a full set of VR equipment from other big game companies.

But for ordinary families, this is not an amount that can be easily afforded, and there are no internet cafes that can get these products from him, so it would be hard for people to try it before buying.

Not being able to try before you buy would likely discourage many people from purchasing.

Setting up an experience pavilion has obvious benefits.

An offline experience pavilion allows users with purchasing intentions to try it out and firm up their purchase decision.

Those who want to buy but can’t, can come to the experience pavilion for an early experience.

People who can’t afford ten thousand yuan can still have the opportunity to try out the best equipment and play the latest games.

Killing three birds with one stone, why not do it?

Need to find an administrative assistant, can’t wait any longer! Waiting for resumes is too inefficient, have to find a headhunting company and take the initiative!

Ready to go, Lincoln immediately began contacting headhunting companies..

After listing a bunch of requirements, Lincoln opened his mailbox again to see if there were any suitable resumes.

While looking, he asked Mavis, ‘Mavis, isn’t there really a suitable person?”

For some reason, Mavis had been influenced by some animations or games and made herself much smaller, floating about in the air. After thinking about Lincoln’s question, she said, “There’s not a suitable administrative assistant that meets your requirements, but there’s a planner who’d be perfect for the manager of your experience store!”

Lincoln, who was looking through resumes, immediately looked up at Mavis floating in the air, “Really? Who is it?”

Mavis pointed her finger, and a resume appeared in front of Lincoln. As he read, Mavis explained.

“Mavis found some videos of him running his store before on the internet! He once opened a game experience store in his hometown, which is a small and remote county. Because the local economy was not well-developed, and the game industry lagged behind, he set up his own store with various gaming platforms and devices, charging by the hour, allowing the locals to have access to popular games for less money.”

“Why did he stop running it and become a game planner instead?” Lincoln asked.

“Because the expenses were too high and the income too low, so he had to close the store!” Mavis said regretfully, “Before closing, he worked hard to save money and put it back into the store, trying to keep it going. But it was too hard with no progress, so he had to give up in the end.”

“Hmm, he’s a man with dreams! ”

“Yes, yes, yes!” Mavis nodded vigorously.

“Alright, send him an interview invitation for tomorrow morning. Maybe he’s willing to change his approach and continue his dream.”

“Okay! Leave it to Mavis!” With that, Mavis pulled a paper and pen out of thin air and began to write furiously.

It took her just a few seconds to finish the invitation, and with a flick of her wrist, the invitation turned into a paper airplane and disappeared into the air. “Mavis has it under control! ”

“Alright, let’s continue watching the live streaming.” Lincoln nodded and continued to open the windows one by one, checking what was happening online.

Of course, the equipment he was using now was different from what was available to the public, as it had already been upgraded.

He cancelled the connection cables, and all components used wireless connections. This made it more convenient and flexible to use, without worrying about cable issues.

Furthermore, increased computing power and compatibility, along with Mavis’s assistance, allowed it to connect to almost all platform interfaces, importing information.

Even if a platform’s interface blocked access to the Cloud Dream Host, Mavis could forcefully connect, allowing Lincoln to navigate the Internet without any obstacles.

At this moment, Lincoln was lying on a comfortable sofa, with floating windows suspended in the air in front of him.

One window showed Camille Victoria’s live broadcast. She and Shuihua were in an underground level, passing through an area as serene and deep as the ocean floor. They were now following moonlight filtering through the cracks of the ruins, passing through an underground hallway, and continued to explore.

On both sides of the path stood wrecks of stone statues, surrounded by silence.

But suddenly, a huge, eerie roar was heard, and a massive flying dragon burst from the ground, causing the stone statues nearby to shatter and collapse.

“Ah!” Camille Victoria was frightened by the unexpected attack, screamed, and ran backward. She accidentally stumbled and fell, but she didn’t care as she continued to crawl and roll away.

Shuihua was also frightened, but instead of running, she froze, terrified and unable to move.

“Aaaaaaaah!” Camille Victoria’s screams echoed, “******! What the hell is that?!”

Seeing Shuihua frozen in place, she desperately yelled and ran back to drag Shuihua away, all the while screaming.

Lincoln was laughing his head off, while Mavis was also giggling mischievously.

When he first played this part years ago, Lincoln was almost scared to death. It had become the psychological shadow of many players.

Many viewers watching the live broadcast were also caught off guard, getting quite a scare.

Swear words flooded the comments.

It took a while for Camille Victoria and Shuihua to recover.

Both communicated privately and took the time to mentally prepare themselves before cautiously moving forward, fearing that any larger movements would attract the attention of the mechanical flying dragons patrolling the sky.

Hiding here and there, they took shelter in small spaces, watching the oppressive flying dragons pass overhead, too scared to breathe and with trembling legs.

Finally, when they reached the end of this section of the path, they felt desperate seeing two huge flying dragons coiled in the narrow downhill path ahead, with searchlights shining on the road.

Even more desperate was the fact that both of them were sliding down the slope and couldn’t stop.

“Aaaaaaaaah!” Camille Victoria’s screams rang throughout the universe.

Shuihua’s face turned pale, and she could hardly breathe.

But there was no avoiding it. They were spotted by the searchlights, and the next moment, the white light poles turned into a dazzling crimson, and the mechanical flying dragons roared as they charged towards them!

“Ah! Mom! I can’t take it anymore! I don’t want to play anymore! Ah! Ah! Ah!”

Just when everyone thought it was over, Camille Victoria and Shuihua saw the light of runes ahead. The next moment, they rushed onto the rune platform, and the runes on the ground and stone pillars suddenly lit up. The golden rune barrier rose sharply, and the mechanical flying dragons were bounced off as they crashed into the barrier!

Camille Victoria and Shuihua knelt in the rune barrier, narrowly escaping death. Camille Victoria couldn’t help but shiver, “That scared the life out of me… this is too terrifying…”

The audience was also frightened, and after recovering, they started cursing at Lincoln for his cruelty.

“Hahaha!” Lincoln laughed loudly and rewarded ten rockets, leaving a gleeful message:

“Nice playing! Haha!”
