Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 732: Chapter 693: Are You Guys Sick??_3

The number of people is still rising, and it seems likely that it could surpass Dinosaur Island!

Players from all around the world are inviting their friends and bringing their families to the virtual world to cuddle giant pandas.

The giant panda is not an ordinary animal; it has overwhelming popularity worldwide.

Unfortunately, it’s challenging to see giant pandas in reality. Even if you see one, you can only look from afar. In contrast, in the virtual world, you can touch and hug them as much as you want, completely satisfying your desire to cuddle them.

Compared to other game events, this overwhelming giant panda event is the most exciting for casual players!

Considering that it’s already dawn in Daxia time, most East Asian casual players have gone to sleep, and the current player traffic in the amusement park is far from its peak.

It can be foreseen that after work tomorrow, the amusement park will welcome a massive influx of tourists.

By then, it will be the peak online rate for the amusement park players.

“Hunter: Call of the Wilderness” has also been updated.

However, to avoid completely distracting the players, the “hunt down the murderer” task hasn’t been officially released yet, just removing the restrictions on the “mysterious killer.”

In other words, players can do more than just see the killer’s traces; they can now also interact with the killer.

The killer has started attacking players now!

Since the killer can attack, players can naturally fight back.

But for now, the situation isn’t very optimistic—

A bulky, powerful foe with abundant combat experience and the ability to turn invisible is challenging to fight against.

Players initially were not prepared, often suddenly getting stabbed in the back while focusing on targeting their prey and dying on the spot.

“Invisibility” usually means taking the “initiative.”

In a situation where everyone is hunting each other, the advantage of taking the initiative is self-explanatory.

For the first half-hour after the update, players didn’t even realize what was happening, thinking that the event would start only after Cloud Dream released an official announcement on Monday morning.

It wasn’t until mysterious deaths increased that the player community realized what was happening, cursing the production team’s sinister tactics while searching for countermeasures.

The first countermeasure they thought of was traps.

As “Hunter” has developed, many simple traps commonly seen in reality can be made in the game by experienced players.

Even if they don’t know how to make traps, carefully spreading dead leaves and branches around them without leaving gaps can create early warning signs for the players when the invisible killer approaches and makes noise.

The “Anti-invisibility Weapon: Mud” was also immediately discovered by players, who are now developing more convenient ways to use it.

This is an all-around test of patience, wisdom, skills, and combat power.

Once they succeed, they will unlock the all-new gameplay that the Metropolitan News didn’t announce.

Lincoln has great confidence in them.

…

Next, Lincoln’s attention turned to the [Virtual Xiajing] map, wanting to see how the players were responding.

But at that moment, Mavis suddenly shook his arm and said, “Master, some overseas players are dissatisfied with the update!”

Lincoln couldn’t help but knock on her pink head, “Why are you so excited about players being dissatisfied?”

“Hm…” Mavis held her head with both hands, “Because the reason they’re dissatisfied is interesting!”

“Really… let me see.”

Lincoln looked at the post Mavis opened—

[Night City’s newly updated Seaside Paradise has made a serious mistake!]

This post was made by a Spanish player, and within just 20 minutes, it received over 60,000 comments, with the vast majority of them agreeing!

Considering Cloud Dream’s current user base in Spain, this number is astonishing and, to an extent, represents the collective demands of Spanish players.

Lincoln instinctively sat up straight and carefully read the content of the post—

——

With such a vast stretch of beach and such a long coastline, is there not a single corner prepared for naturists?

We strongly protest against such unfair treatment!

Of course, we understand that different countries have different cultural customs.

We believe that as a Daxia-based company, Cloud Dream did not create this situation on purpose, and it is more likely that they were not aware of this mistake.

We can understand that, but we hope that Cloud Dream will listen to our voices and correct this mistake as soon as possible!

This will be the best example of Cloud Dream respecting cultural diversity and fully valuing user opinions!

So, everyone, please join me in voicing our demands—

[Seaside Paradise needs a nudist beach!]

[We need to shed our disguises and embrace nature with open arms!]

After reading the post, Lincoln fell into a long silence.

He was pondering a question: was it him who was messed up, or these users who were messed up?
