Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Looking at the diapers in the cloth bag and Yi’s sincere expression.

Lincoln blinked, “You call this a local specialty?”

“Yeah.” Yi nodded, “This is the local specialty in my live broadcast room. The audience specifically asked me to bring it to you! As the saying goes, a small gift travels a thousand miles, the gift is light…”

“Wait.” Lincoln interrupted him, “Are you serious?”

“Ah, yes…” Yi was about to say “yes,” but seeing Lincoln’s dangerous expression, he changed it to: “…Yes?” “Why don’t you think about it again?”

“Ah, well…” Yi hesitated a bit.

“Or like this, if you insist I accept it, it’s not impossible. But tomorrow, you have to wear it during the test, how about that?”

Looking at the cameras from all eight sides, Yi had a mental struggle.

The onlookers were very curious about what was in the cloth bag.

But Lincoln and Yi didn’t take it out, so no one could see what was inside.

As the crowd was about to gather, Yi thought of the audience’s promise to “send it for rockets” and the threat of “unfollowing if you dare not send it,” and reluctantly agreed: “Okay!”

Lincoln quickly stuffed the bag into his hand, as if the bag was very hot, “Take it and use it, give it back to me tomorrow.”

After receiving it, Yi clenched the opening of the cloth bag tightly, afraid that the contents would be exposed.

Even if it meant committing social suicide, it would be tomorrow’s problem, to procrastinate for one more day!

Other than Yi’s episode, the rest was quite harmonious.

He briefly thanked everyone for their support, stating that Dream Cloud had arranged cars for those without special arrangements to go to the hotel and that the buffet had been prepared.

The rest of the work was handed over to Liang Tian.

It must be said that Liang Tian was really talented and progressed rapidly.

Managing the Cloud Dream Experience Store in Xiajing City was very different from running a small video game store in his hometown’s county.

Liang Tian was able to manage it well and meet all of Lincoln’s various requirements satisfactorily.

This made Lincoln very satisfied, and he even started considering moving up the plan for the second store.

Before getting on the car, Super Tomato came up to add contact information, and the professional players also handed over their club manager’s business cards.

Lincoln’s mobile phone had a whitelist, so unfamiliar numbers couldn’t get through.

Although many people came to Cloud Dream Experience Store hoping to contact Lincoln through Liang Tian, after asking Lincoln, Liang Tian politely declined all of them.

The club managers also had no choice but to leave their business cards with Liang Tian, hoping that one day Lincoln would contact them.

Today, many people came to the game closed beta with their professional players, but they waited outside the Cloud Dream Experience Store.

As Lincoln never showed up, they could only leave disappointed.

Before leaving, they asked their professional players to give their business cards to Lincoln, hoping for an extra chance.

Lincoln politely accepted the cards with both hands, put them in his pocket, and watched them leave.

Since their clubs were located in Xiajing City, they naturally had no need to go to the hotel.

After the closed beta affairs and eating out, Lincoln returned home relaxed.

As soon as he entered, he stepped on the left shoe with his right foot and kicked off the shoe; then stepped on the right shoe with his left foot, kicked off the other shoe, put on his slippers, and walked into the living room.

“Master, welcome home!” Mavis greeted him with a sense of ceremony.

“Mavis, has anything happened during this time?” Lincoln asked while drinking a glass of water.

“There’s no new news! But many media outlets have sent us lawyers’ letters, and it seems that the players are very concerned about it, worried that it will affect the release schedule of ‘Assassins’ Alliance.”‘

“Hmm, this generation of netizens is not very competent.” Lincoln put down the glass, shook his head in disappointment.

“Forget it, I’ll teach them a lesson.”

“Master, do you want to issue a statement? Can Mavis help?” Mavis asked enthusiastically as always.

“Then what should we release? Mavis doesn’t understand!”

“A lawyer’s letter.” Lincoln replied calmly.

As the first day of the closed beta came to an end, more and more people who participated started sharing their thoughts online.

Although limited by the confidentiality agreement, they couldn’t reveal any game content, but that didn’t stop them from praising Goose sister on social media!

For a moment, the netizens’ understanding of the game was still just “Virtual

Environment Gunfight Game”, but they also found out in advance that it was a “beyond imagination”, “unparalleled”, “truly thrilling”, “super free”, “do whatever you want” game.

Netizens were very excited!

But they didn’t know what to get excited about.

Eventually, they could only get excited over the void…

Because of the void, the topic even turned back to the “Large Media Lawyer’s Letter Incident” again, worrying that such a well-received game would be delayed due to this.

At this moment, Lincoln’s Spiritual Rhinoceros account posted a new message.

In the lower right corner of this lawyer’s letter, besides the date and Lincoln’s signature, there was a large red seal.

The characters on the red seal were a bit hard to read due to the small size.

But when zoomed in, the content on the stamp could be seen: “Daxia Awesome Law Firm Xiajing Branch Office”.

This outrageous “lawyer’s letter” in various senses instantly set off an explosion on Spiritual Rhinoceros platform.

When netizens first noticed the words “lawyer’s letter”, they thought Lincoln was going to fight fire with fire and send lawyer’s letters to the media just like they did to him.

Who knew Lincoln didn’t even bother with them and sent lawyer’s letters directly to ten million netizens!

Countless question marks immediately occupied the comment section of Lincoln’s post.

Apart from question marks, there were also emojis.

After a full ten seconds, a complete text comment finally appeared. “What’s happening??? So, Lincoln sent me a lawyer’s letter?”

“He sent one to me too, haha!”

“This is outrageous! Sending a lawyer’s letter to ten million people! Are lawyer’s letters really this casual?”

“I was worrying that Dream Cloud would be delayed in launching ‘Assassins’ Alliance’ due to the lavvyer’s letter. Seems like I was overthinking!”

“Exactly! He still has the leisure to play tricks, so it seems like he doesn’t care at all!”

“You dare to mention Lincoln! You dare to mention Dream Cloud! Aren’t you afraid of getting a lawyer’s letter?! Hurry up and delete your comment and apologize publicly! Dog head”

“This is too much!” The media that sent lawyer’s letters to Dream Cloud was fuming with anger!
