Chapter 133: Chapter 131: Victoria, hurry up and pack yourself over! (Extra update)
Translator: 549690339
In Camille Victoria’s live broadcast room, although the screen didn’t show Super Tomato’s live Q&A session.
However, the topic that the audience was chatting about was all about this Q&A session.
Obviously, not only was Camille Victoria watching on her mobile phone, but the audience was also opening two live broadcast rooms, watching one while discussing in Camille Victoria’s live broadcast room.
Seeing the audience in the live broadcast room continually stirring things up, Camille Victoria indeed had the urge to participate.
But she quickly suppressed this impulse, realizing easily: The higher the popularity of “Assassins’ Alliance” as it approaches its release, the better.
In terms of topicality and online influence, she had to admit that her level is far behind that of Super Tomato.
After all, making live broadcasts, it’s hard to say what kind of work comes out, and many anchors may have a high level of popularity and earn a lot of money during their time as top talents.
But looking back a few years later, there might be nothing left except for the audience’s live streaming records.
Only a small handful of anchors can truly stand the test of time. However, video uploaders, in contrast to performers, are more closelv associated with a creator’s identity, continuously producing works even if they don’t reach the top.
In addition, outstanding video uploaders often have highly valuable works that still captivate people years later.
These are the advantages of video uploaders.
And Super Tomato, being able to make it to the top in such an environment, naturally has an influence far greater than her own.
If Camille Victoria herself had to choose a channel to promote “Assassins’ Alliance,” she would also pick Super Tomato.
She understood the logic, but she felt so jealous in her heart!
I was here first!
Especially, the comments were constantly fueling the fire:
“How is this not a kind of NTR?”
“You can’t admit defeat, Camille Victoria! Super Tomato sent tomatoes to
Lincoln and got the interview opportunity. If he can do it, why can’t you?”
“Right! Super Tomato sent tomatoes, so Camille Victoria should naturally send herself! Hurry up and pack yourself, call a local express, and mail yourself to his house! Same-day delivery, same-day arrival! You might even make it to dinner!”
“I, Camille Victoria, will not be inferior to anyone in my life! I can’t stand this humiliation! Go!”
Seeing more and more outrageous comments, Camille Victoria quickly called a halt, “Enough! You guys are too much! I’m already feeling terrible, and you’re rubbing salt in the wound! Can’t you be human?”
The room administrator immediately echoed: “Exactly! Who would send goods to someone’s door! Is our Camille Victoria such a cheap commodity?! At least let him personally come to pick her up!”
Camille Victoria’s head nodded halfway, and she couldn’t hold back anymore,
“Come here! Ban this room administrator for me!”
As soon as the words fell, another room administrator appeared: “Send a prosthetic limb instead! Establish the fact that there’s something between you two! Are you afraid of not having opportunities in the future?!”
Camille Victoria was furious: “Guards! Get all of them out of here! You bunch of fake fans!”
Although she shouted like this, but being egged on by so many people, Camille Victoria inevitably had a thought: Should I really send Lincoln something as a local specialty?
Yi and Super Tomato can send things, can’t I?!
A similar situation was happening in almost all game zones on the live streaming platforms.
Even though many anchors didn’t get the opportunity to participate in the test and couldn’t remotely join the topic like Camille Victoria and Yi, this didn’t prevent them and ordinary audience members from listening intently to the information revealed by Lincoln and Super Tomato in the live broadcast, not wanting to miss a single word.
Since the start of the closed beta, “Assassins’ Alliance” has always been at the center of the gaming circle’s spotlight, and they have been anticipating it for a long time. However, no information has been leaked about the game.
What will the game be like?
Everyone could only guess, as Lincoln was a master of suspense!
As a result, the current situation appeared: even the slightest bit of information would attract all players’ attention.
The Q&A session in the live broadcast room continued, but since the audience knew very little about the game, there weren’t many questions they could think of. Most of the questions were based on previous speculations in the online community, and they asked Lincoln for verification.
After asking a few key questions, they didn’t even know what to ask and couldn’t pinpoint the key issues.
Lincoln had to remind: “Pay attention to the time; you still have 5 minutes to
ask questions.”
“Huh?” Super Tomato was shocked: “Boss Lin, do you have urgent matters?”
“Yes, quite urgent,” Lincoln confirmed, “In 5 minutes, we will be off work.”
Super Tomato was surprised and put the phone in front of him to confirm:
“Boss Lin, your Cloud Dream studio has a 5 pm end-of-work time?”
“Yes,” Lincoln answered naturally, “We don’t advocate for overtime work, and as the boss, I have to lead by example, so you have 5 minutes left.”
Super Tomato quickly found a reason: “Is it because the game is finished, and there’s not much to do in the studio, so you finish work early?”
“No, our end-of-work time has always been at 5 pm, it’s a 9-to-5 job!” Lincoln said, then changed the subject, “However, the game is indeed finished.”
Super Tomato wanted to ask Lincoln how he came to the decision to stick to a 5 pm end-of-work-time in a city like Xiajing — it just seemed abnormal no matter how one thought of it.
But he didn’t forget the purpose of the call and had to ask another question: “Since the game is finished, will it be released soon? Can you announce the specific time?”
“Yes, it will be released soon. As for the specific release time, it will be announced tomorrow afternoon along with the promotional material,” Lincoln said, checking the time, “That’s it. I need to get off work now. We can chat another time!”
“Alright, thank you very much for the call.”
“No need, no need, we are helping each other out. We can chat another time.
Remember to watch the promotional material tomorrow.”
After finishing, Lincoln hung up the phone, looking at Princess who was silently watching the live broadcast in front of him, and the cute healing handgun in her hand.
It was clear that she put a lot of effort into making it, as it looked very lively and cute.
Lincoln didn’t say anything and directly approved it.
“Well, I’m going offline now,” Lincoln said goodbye.
Camille Victoria smiled and waved goodbye to him.
Seeing Lincoln disappear, Camille Victoria got up from the table and sat on the swing.
She swayed leisurely back and forth while aiming the healing handgun in her hand at the small boats on the river, playing happily with the “pew pew pew” sounds.
The appearance of this gun looked completely like a children’s toy gun: shaped like a Little Fire Dragon, with its round tail hanging down as a gun handle, its body forming the gun barrel, and its mouth transforming into the muzzle, where you could even see the little Fire Dragon’s four baby teeth.
The trigger of the gun was the Little Fire Dragon’s coiled hind legs, which looked short, just like its front claws.
When pulling the trigger, the Little Fire Dragon would spit a small flame from its mouth, like an alternative muzzle flash.
Camille Victoria held the Little Fire Dragon pistol, aimed it at the boats on the river, and played with great joy by pulling the Little Fire Dragon’s legs with a “click-clack.”
Meanwhile, the news announced by Lincoln in Super Tomato’s live broadcast spread rapidly.
Oddly enough, the news Lincoln wanted to spread was that Cloud Dream would release a promotional video for “Assassins’ Alliance” the next day and announce the release date, hoping to further heighten players’ expectations for the game.
Although this news did spread, the scope and heated discussions it generated were far from those of another topic — “Cloud Dream finishes work at 5 pm?!”
