Chapter 619: Chapter 587: We Want to Talk Directly with Lincoln!

Lincoln and Mavis were working on the invitation letter, and the live streamers who were about to be involved began to feel that something was off.

Although Cloud Dream only announced the name “Terraria” without saying anything else.

But those three consecutive warnings at the end were clearly not joking.

It could be almost certain that playing this game would be terrifying!

Especially Camille Victoria, who was no longer just “vaguely” uneasy, but genuinely panicked.

She immediately thought of Lincoln’s comment under her video a few days ago–

“I’ll remember this grudge.”

“So, is this revenge?” Camille Victoria thought about it and felt a bit intimidated.

She looked at the suddenly popular post on the forum again–

An ID called [Jason] posted a mole thread last month, which was suddenly liked by Lincoln today.

This was basically solid evidence that he had accidentally guessed the content of “Terraria.”

Now [Jason] was being urged by people to change his name to [Zhen De] and [Holy Woman].

And the game content described in his post:

[Players need to constantly dig down, explore various underground environments, encounter bizarre creatures, and fight various dangerous dark creatures. Obtain loot, become stronger, and then defeat even stronger BOSSes… Explore, build, become stronger, fight… in an endless cycle until facing the final BOSS.]

Looking at this obviously wrong description, Camille Victoria wondered, “Maybe we shouldn’t play this game?”

“I still have to participate in the National Construction Competition, and I’m quite busy recently.”

As a mature live streamer, Camille Victoria was absolutely unashamed to back down when necessary.

She immediately posted a dynamics on her mobile phone–

‘Recently working on [National Construction Competition], building houses takes a lot of work.

So, let’s wait for “Terraria,” and if you can’t wait, you can watch other people’s live streams first!’

After posting, she closed the page without even glancing at the comment section.

Because she knew what her live-streamer community would say…

Some are cowardly, and some are brave.

Yi didn’t hesitate at all and directly posted an official announcement on his dynamics–

“Tomorrow at 2 pm, I’ll live stream “Terraria” for the first time! Even without the mysterious grand prize, there should be some official peripherals, right?”

After sending it, he added another sentence as if he wasn’t satisfied, “By the way, does Cloud Dream have any official peripherals?”

– Of course, Cloud Dream has peripherals, and they’re about to be completed.

“Traveler of the Wind” classic and master scarves, “Light Encounter” clay figurines, Fall Guys candy jars, various cute stuffed toys…

Transformers Hero Landing Pose edition opened by Lincoln and Xiaomeng.

“Assassin’s League” Ivory Grip·Gun Carving· M1911 Pistol.

– Of course, both ivory and guns are fake. Although they have all the required structures, the kinetic energy is only 0.15 Joule, and they can only launch toy bullets. It is still a very long way from the 1.8 Joule illegal standard.

As a reserved show of peripherals – various action figures would certainly not be absent.

Originally, Cloud Dream Games customized these peripherals for New Year’s activities. Now, Lincoln just took out a tiny amount in advance as event rewards.

After lunch, these peripherals were gradually announced by the “My World” official account as a warm-up for the event.

Without a doubt, the players immediately got excited.

This was the first time Cloud Dream had released official peripherals!

There were peripherals for Cloud Dream’s games before, but they were all hand-made by creative players.

Although Cloud Dream allowed some players to make peripherals in small quantities and sell them for profit, the supply was way too small to meet the demand.

Now, with the official release, the players finally saw hope and were extremely excited–

“That gun! Firefox! My Firefox!”

“Fall Guys pillow! You guys actually made 12 appearances! My wallet!!”

“What’s up with that golden axe! Why do I want it so bad!”

“Mecha! My mom, Lincoln, you heartless guy, finally remembered about it? When will you release a mecha game?!”

Meanwhile, Camille Victoria’s fans belatedly discovered that at some point, Camille Victoria had secretly deleted her dynamic about not playing “Terraria”…

At 2 pm, Lincoln finished his lunch break and was about to check the players’ reaction after the platform was online when Jerome came over.

“What’s up?” Lincoln asked in confusion.

“The local German gaming company Keli Buli wants to cooperate with us.” Jerome said concisely.

Upon hearing this, Lincoln was quite surprised, “Now?”

“Yes, they called 10 minutes ago, met in the virtual world 5 minutes ago, and proposed 1 minute ago that they want to talk directly to you.”

“We have a 7-hour time difference with Germany, right? It’s now…” Lincoln glanced at the time, “7 am in Germany? Do Germans go to work that early?”

“Probably not, they should want to finalize the cooperation early.” Jerome obviously knew more about the situation in Germany than Lincoln.

“But if their government doesn’t budge, there’s nothing to cooperate, right? We don’t lack partners to sell consoles in Germany, there’s no need for another one.”

“But they said they could solve the government’s issue.”

“How can they solve it?” Lincoln was skeptical, “When can a gaming company influence the government’s decision?”

Jerome laughed, “They’re just boasting. In fact, it should be that the German government has changed its attitude and is planning to lift restrictions on us, so they hinted at Keli Buli to seize the opportunity and cooperate with us.”

“So you mean…” Lincoln thought for a moment and immediately understood Jerome’s point.

“You mean the nationwide strike by German players has indeed caused a huge impact, so the government is planning to compromise, hoping to resolve the issue before the strike occurs to avoid disturbing social order.”

“But even if they compromise, they must want to take advantage of this opportunity to support their own domestic gaming companies, which is why Keli Buli gaming company came to talk to us about cooperation so early in the morning?”

“Exactly,” Jerome confirmed, “I’ve been arranging for someone to keep an eye on the situation in Germany, and based on Keli Buli’s attitude, this possibility is very high!”

“Then let’s talk, why do they need me? Do they want to talk terms?” Lincoln was a bit puzzled.

Were they not afraid of breaking down the cooperation when they sought for him?

Although he valued the development of the virtual world very much, if postponing the construction of the server center could enable him to witness such an event like a “nationwide strike in Germany”, he would be very willing to make that trade-off!

He even thought about delaying it for a couple of days to finalize the collaboration before the strike ends…

“Forget it.” Lincoln shook his head, “Let’s go and hear what they have to say.”
