Chapter 33: Chapter 33: The Princess’s Loss

Translator: 549690339

Princess suddenly appeared in support of Lincoln, instantly disrupting all of NetDragon’s plans.

Not only NetDragon, but all external factors were basically wiped out by a dominant wave, and now no one could guide public opinion anymore.

Next, it’s a fair fight of public opinion between NetDragon and Dream Cloud Studio!

In the midst of chaotic and large-scale discussions, where public opinion will eventually end up depends entirely on the netizens’ thoughts.

As for how much goodwill Princess playing Lincoln’s game would sway…

Well— the Princess was photographed without her knowledge, and she didn’t publicly endorse anyone!

That’s fair!

If you dare say it’s unfair, Princess’ mom fans will bash your head in.

Netizens have also experienced a magical day of twists and turns.

First, they happily rushed home to download the trial, wanting to feel the charm of Lincoln’s virtual reality game in advance, only to find themselves completely puzzled while playing.

Wondering what’s going on, “Game Time” came out with an explanation, oh, it turns out that Lincoln is a scientific genius, not a game development genius, he doesn’t know how to make games!

Then came the official announcement from NetDragon about the upcoming release of “Blaze 3”, exciting the players once more. Though “Traveler of the Wind” was disappointing, at least there was a game to look forward to, giving them hope!

Before they even had time to enjoy their excitement, it was revealed “Father of Blaze,” Randall, had joined Dream Cloud Studio, causing concern over the quality of “Blaze 3.”

Uncertain of how “Blaze 3” would turn out, Princess suddenly appeared, giving rare support to Lincoln’s “Traveler of the Wind”…

So what’s going on?

Did all the big news in the gaming industry happen in one day?

Did they complete the entire year’s KPI in one day, only to have nothing for the rest of the year?

“So can someone please tell me! Are Lincoln’s games any good?! Or is “Blaze 3″ any good?!”

“I’m tired, just end it all already.”

“I get it! Lincoln can’t make games, so he poached NetDragon’s talent, bringing top-level game designers to help design virtual reality games!”

“So even if “Traveler of the Wind” isn’t that great, the next virtual reality game designed by Randall will definitely be amazing, is that the idea?”

“I get it, I’ll buy “Blaze 3.” 𝒻𝓇𝘦𝘦𝘸𝘦𝒷𝓃𝑜𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂freewe(b)novel.c(o)m

“You understand nothing!”

Netizens still have all sorts of weird ideas.

After this round of internet discussion, Lincoln’s “Traveler of the Wind” didn’t achieve a significant victory.

In terms of positive reviews and discussion, the attention given to Camille Victoria’s fans is unquestionable.

But among these people, the proportion of gamers is not large, and most of them have one thing in common with Camille Victoria: they have little interest in violent games, which were the majority of previous games.

If Lincoln’s game wasn’t a non-violent one, her fans might have accused him of corrupting Little Princess by letting her play.

In the discussion of “Traveler of the Wind,” there are even comments like “I’ve already bought 10 copies, my child loves it.”

In the end, most real gamers still prefer to buy “Blaze 3.”

It’s just that they haven’t seen a game like “Traveler of the Wind” before, and Lincoln hasn’t proven his ability in game development.

However, the “Blaze” series and Randall’s capabilities have already been proven twice, their convincing power lies in both the genre and reputation.

Hugo and Gary finally breathed a sigh of relief. In their view, this battle was a great victory.

After all, the actual game-buying players prefer their game, and those netizens who praised “Traveler of the Wind” without reservations won’t buy the game anyway. Their opinions were never a concern for game companies in the first place.

Users who can’t spend money are as good as non-existent.

“No good.” Camille Victoria saw the whole ordeal, only to have such a result in the end, she was disappointed and her mood was low as she pursed her lips.

Shuihua beside her consoled her, “It’s okay, you’ve done your best. Besides, with so many people seeing and discussing this game, maybe a lot of people who didn’t play games before will buy it now.”

“Really?”

“Really!” Shuihua nodded with certainty, “Just look at us, you didn’t play games before, and neither did I. But we both enjoy playing ‘Traveler of the Wind’ made by Lincoln. There must be a lot of people like us!”

Camille Victoria nodded with a lack of confidence, clenched her fists and cheered, “It must be!”

That afternoon, Lincoln tagged along with Henry to expand his horizons. He tried various long guns and short cannons, even real guns, and fired them

often.

Many weapons that can’t be found at the shooting range, such as anti-material sniper rifles, machine guns, and even various hand grenades and shock bombs, were experienced with special permission. Of course, during the whole process, there were three safety officers keeping a close eye on him without blinking.

The next day he still needed to take a car even further away to experience bigger weapons, which were placed outside the city.

Tonight when he gets home, he’ll ask Mavis to help him quickly transfer these sensory data directly into code and bring them the next day.

On the way back, he finally saw the big commotion Camille Victoria had created and solemnly called to express his thanks.

Although Camille Victoria had little faith in the advertisement, he knew in his heart that its value was immeasurable.

It’s just that casual games haven’t become popular in this world, and the single game type leads to a single-player group.

But that doesn’t mean casual games can’t become popular.

Once casual games take off, both sales and the expansion of the player group will be top-notch.

How many players are there for “My World”? How many for “Super Mario”?

And how many people who never played games before were drawn into the pit by “It Takes Two” and “Animal Crossing”?

He was even inspired by this and began to consider making another casual game so that players could have something to play while waiting for the next major title.

It would also allow players to interact with each other and not let the devices sit and collect dust at home after completing “Traveler of the Wind.”

Making a big game takes a lot of effort, while casual games are much simpler.

But this can’t be rushed, the device is the foundation of everything.

Fortunately, Randall was very capable and had already summarized the advantages of the five unmanned factories, along with the preferential treatment he had negotiated, and sent a clear chart to Lincoln.

What surprised him as a layman was that three of the factories adopted a model different from the “Pay deposit – Produce – Receive goods – Pay balance – Pay deposit for the next batch” he had imagined.

Instead, it was “Pay deposit – Produce – Receive goods – Sell goods – Pay the balance of the previous batch and the deposit for the next batch.” The former model was what he originally expected.

The 500 million interest-free loans would be invested entirely in the production of the first 100,000 units. After selling out, the money earned could be invested in the production of the next 200,000 units, then 400,000 units in the following batch, and so on.

But in the model negotiated by Randall, they only needed to pay a deposit for 200,000 units upfront and only pay one-third of the price after receiving the goods.

By then, they would have no money to pay the remaining balance.

However, they could wait until the goods were sold, then use the money earned to pay the balance for the previous batch and the deposit for the next batch.

Due to the mutual trust established after a successful first round, the order for the next batch could be placed directly for 600,000 units. After taking the goods, only a quarter of the payment would be required, and the rest could be paid after the devices were sold, and the funds returned.

Then there would be the next round of orders…

Lincoln, who had never seen the world, exclaimed, “Is that even possible?”

Honestly, this model has only one drawback – if the goods can’t be sold and become stuck in their hands, it could lead to a break in the capital chain, and both parties would suffer greatly.

But would virtual reality devices not sell? Impossible, absolutely impossible!
