Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

NetDragon’s Marketing Director, Wesley, suggested to start from the unmanned factory to steal the technology of Cloud Dream.

Of course, Lincoln has no idea about such a dangerous move.

If he knew, he’d probably have a good laugh, and he might even be happy to see it happen – after all, if he did it himself, it would just limit the growth of NetDragon and cost them some money.

But making NetDragon go bankrupt is difficult.

After all, the leading PC and console game makers did not go bankrupt when VR games were booming, they just made less money.

But if they want to commit business suicide and resort to commercial crime, it’s not as simple as losing money!

Being jailed is almost unavoidable.

Given that the theft at the Cloud Dream Experience Store has not yet been fully resolved, isn’t this running into a gun’s muzzle?

When Lincoln came home after a busy day, he sprawled on the sofa and didn’t want to move a muscle.

Attending meetings was okay, and spending some time with Mavis helped him recover.

Things went smoothly when he went to the factory to find Zhou Jingzheng.

Zhou Jingzheng has always been grateful for Lincoln’s help, agreeing to anything Lincoln suggested without thinking.

Expanding the production line of visual and hearing aids and diversifying product types would benefit the factory, so Zhou Jingzheng would never refuse.

Lincoln also asked him to contact a few unemployed veterans to work as security guards at the Experience Store. He was asking Zhou Jingzheng for a favor, but Zhou was the one who kept thanking Lincoln.

Each task wasn’t troublesome, but all together made Lincoln exhausted – he never liked too much social interaction; he preferred to be alone or with Mavis at most.

Especially since money wasn’t an issue, he was free to stay within his comfort zone.

What’s so bad about comfort?!

Seeing Lincoln looking tired, Mavis started playing soft music and asked in a caring tone: “Are you very tired, master? Would you like to play with Mavis? I’ve been learning how to give massages recently!”

“Oh?” Lincoln perked up, “Let’s go!”

He quickly got up, put on the headband and ran into the virtual world to find Mavis.

Throughout both his lives, Lincoln had never experienced what it feels like to be massaged by a beautiful girl.

Because of work reasons, he had been invited to a bathhouse. He was very apprehensive before entering and it took a lot of courage to step in.

But the bathhouse was extremely legit, even the masseurs were men!

Later, due to long periods of sitting at work, he suffered severe lumbar muscle strain. During those restless nights, he would go to that bathhouse and get massages from middle-aged men.

Their strength! So powerful! They helped him through many restless nights.

Though he didn’t expect Mavis’s strength to compare to that of a professional masseur, he didn’t have back pain now, so a different kind of enjoyment was entirely acceptable!

However, when Lincoln lay down on the small sofa, Mavis, sitting cross-legged beside him, took out a pink inflatable hammer toy and started tapping his back lightly.

Just like being tickled.

‘Mavis, don’t you have any items that can put more pressure?” Lincoln complained with resignation, “Even a rubber hammer would do.”

“I do!” Mavis obediently switched to a rubber hammer and continued to thump on Lincoln’s back.

Lincoln complained weakly, “Where the hell did you learn massage from?” Anime!” Mavis replied cheerfully.

“Forget it, forget it…” Lincoln flipped over and sprawled on the sofa, feeling even more listless.

Seeing Lincoln in such a listless state, Mavis didn’t tease him anymore, she came over and obediently began to massage his shoulders.

While massaging his shoulders, she spoke, “Master, I’ll learn well, and give you a good massage once I’ve learned, okay?”

“Sure, sure, I’m looking forward to it.” Lincoln casually replied.

“Master, there’s a study that says if you’re feeling mentally tired, doing something different, changing your mind, is more effective than just resting!” “Really?” Lincoln closed his eyes, “Do you have any suggestions?”

“Hmm…” Mavis’s eyes swivelled around, thinking hard but couldn’t find anything to do in the virtual world, “How about, I make you a few wives? What kind of wives do you like? Is…”

Lincoln opened his eyes wide, rolling over to cover Mavis’s mouth, “No pervy stuff!”

“Mmm! Mmm!” Mavis tugged at Lincoln’s hand, struggling and shaking her head.

Lincoln knew Mavis too well, he didn’t even have to guess what she was trying to say, “I want it! I want it!”

Feeling a bit melancholy, wondering if the kid was going through her rebellious phase, Lincoln helplessly let go and said, “Forget it, I’ll just play some games.”

“Live stream! Live stream!” Mavis raised her right hand high, shouting her suggestion.

“Why should I live stream?” Lincoln asked.

“I’ve been watching the news about you, Master, and a lot of players want to see you live stream!”

After thinking about it, Lincoln supposed he could give it a go. He hadn’t played “Assassins’ Alliance” as a player before!

For his past self, being able to play a virtually perfect virtual reality game was a dream.

But after gaining the ability to create virtual worlds, he had always been a developer. Even if he tried the game for a brief period, it was for testing purposes.

Now that fifteen million players are enjoying the fun of the virtual game, as the creator, he has never properly played any virtual reality games as a player, which is a bit unjustifiable!

“Great! Let’s follow Mavis’s suggestion! Live streaming it is!” Lincoln finally cheered up, “Let me show them how an expert plays the game!”

Not bothering to sign up for a new streaming platform, he simply used Dream Cloud’s official account on Little Video Station to start a live streaming room. The live streaming room title: ‘One shot, speedrun “Assassins’ Alliance”.’

The Dream Cloud Studio account isn’t an ordinary small up account though, it’s a major account with nearly 10 million followers. Suddenly starting a live stream naturally drew the immediate attention of countless followers. Once they clicked on the streaming room and found out that it was Lincoln who was streaming, they were even more excited.

Lincoln is a high-profile figure, ever since he debuted on the Internet through a video, he’s been in the media spotlight, becoming a synonym for huge Internet traffic.

Just yesterday, the game’s sales topped the world, hitting the hot searches. Now that he has started to broadcast himself, it has caused a stir. The number of people flooding into the live broadcast room continues to rise.

The live streaming operation department of Little Video Station also finally got a taste of what the Spiritual Rhinoceros Operation and Maintenance team went through. They cried out, adding expansion to Lincoln’s streaming room.

With the comments flying by like a river, Lincoln couldn’t see what the audience was saying, let alone answer their questions.

Until a paid conspicuous message popped up: “Boss Lin is here to perform! Everyone, if you have money, bring money, if you don’t have money, bring people!”

Lincoln saw the first clear message and instinctively read it, but when he got to the part about performing, he realized something was wrong and quickly shut his mouth.

Seeing Lincoln’s interaction, the audience got even more excited. Not only were there countless “hahaha” mockery comments, but paid comments also kept popping up.

Lincoln skipped over the conspicuous messages saying he was performing and looked at the latest paid message – the one that cost the money.

“Is Boss Lin an NTR enthusiast? Otherwise, why would his girlfriend cheat

right at the start?”
