Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch - Chapter 325
Chapter 325: Chapter 323: Rehabilitation Therapist Plan
Translator: 549690339
When Lincoln first came to this world, he was cautious, and was even reluctant to talk about his dream of creating a virtual world.
It seemed that the moment he spoke about it, people would emerge out of nowhere, one after another, trying to obstruct him from achieving this goal.
But as time went by, he found that everything was going smoothly.
Whether it was setting up a company, manufacturing equipment, developing games, or making prosthetic limbs, everything was going well.
Nobody appeared out of nowhere to obstruct him.
—Of course, NetDragon can’t be counted, because it’s logical for NetDragon to obstruct him.
To be more precise, not only is it logical, but NetDragon and Lincoln would love to take each other down, which is perfectly reasonable.
In addition, with the growth of Cloud Dream, the expansion of the virtual world, and the rapid expansion of its player community, he no longer had that inexplicable worry and no longer hid his goals.
Even in this thank-you letter, he openly told the players: a hundred million players are just a small step.
The smart ones can naturally read between the lines:
I want to create a massive game world and establish a true virtual game empire!
This is Lincoln’s public promise to a hundred million players.
And given his style of doing things, once he has made this promise, the players can fully expect it to happen.
That’s because Lincoln always keeps his word!
Everything he has ever promised has come true!
Of course, not everyone is smart enough to read between the lines, and there are many players who can’t.
But this does not affect their excitement. After all, there is still enough news in the thank-you letter to excite them:
Night City is completed!
There’s a new game where you can create a world yourself!
There’s an even more mysterious, “unparalleled” game in development!
What’s more exciting than a big game?
Of course, it’s three big games!
How can the players not be excited and thrilled?
The only thing that bothers them is that Lincoln teases them with very little information about the next two games.
So, they can’t figure out what the themes of these games are.
Everyone’s excited and shouting, but they don’t know exactly what to shout about…
Even so, this night is incredibly bustling.
The Whirlpool Game forum is full of ridiculous or seemingly legitimate news throughout the night, posted with the traditional excuse of “My uncle works at Cloud Dream.”
This influence is not only limited to the player community, as many game development companies are also disturbed.
Some are pondering far-reaching questions:
If what Lincoln promises really comes true, where does it leave other game companies outside of Cloud Dream?
Do they have a place in Lincoln’s future plans?
Small companies, on the other hand, don’t know how long they will survive, so they’re more concerned about the following:
When Cloud Dream says they want to “give the power of world creation to the players,” is this a signal?
A signal that other small companies can also hope to join the Cloud Dream big ship in another form?
With such thoughts, it’s hard not to get excited!
However, they are also uneasy.
Lincoln’s thank-you letter made the gaming circle of Daxia lively and bustling for an entire night.
The next day, Lincoln didn’t return to Xiajing City and instead flew to Yangcheng City to attend the second concert on Thursday.
But now he didn’t just leave everything to others. Early in the morning, he updated Quentina with new recruitment requirements:
It’s time for Cloud Dream to establish an International Affairs Department.
At present, overseas tasks mainly rely on local partner companies in Izumo and Baekje. Cloud Dream only needs to send a small number of commissioners, so this department doesn’t have to be too big for now.
However, it is essential to establish the framework, reserve talent, accumulate experience and prepare to enter more countries in the future.
Quentina agreed without hesitation.
For Quentina, working in human resources has never been so simple in her life.
When they need someone, a job posting will bring resumes and phone calls within half an hour.
In half a day, there will be a bunch of talent ready to choose from.
And all these candidates have solid skills and no fluff!
Her work experience can only be described in two words: happiness!
If there’s any pain, it’s having to screen out a large proportion of these talents.
To her, it seems like a colossal waste.
Of course, she couldn’t say this, or her peers would curse at her!
After Lincoln assigned new tasks to Quentina, he started working on something else.
The “consciousness communication technology” that Henry needed, and the “dual sense technology” required for developing Pacific Rim, both required data collection and analysis work.
Kyle had already started recruiting volunteers for the data collection and feature comparison work on “thinking” neural signals, having gone through the relevant department’s approval with Lincoln’s arrangement.
The venue was quickly arranged, and they could start the full-scale project soon.
On Lincoln’s side, the massive data collection work was just beginning today.
Lincoln wrote open letters to specific player groups, and couldn’t help but think: the pace of Cloud Dream’s game development is really different from that of ordinary game development companies.
Even powerful game development companies rarely undertake multiple large-scale projects of completely different nature simultaneously.
