Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 573: Chapter 546: Have you ever seen a Support Soldier in a group?

After immersing herself once again in the promotional material, Camille Victoria finally completed the tutorial level.

In a daze, she found herself in a combat room.

The room wasn’t empty: there were sofas for resting, a sand table in the corner, a projector for reviewing battle records, mysterious empty chests, and even a gramophone for listening to music…

It seemed like a resting room and a combat room combined.

Only the Wall of Honor appeared to be empty.

Her personal data such as level, winning rate, team, tasks, and so on were all blank.

The medal wall and the ribbon cabinet were empty as well.

Only the brass dog tag showcase displayed the single, original brass dog tag.

Camille Victoria walked over, touched each spot one by one, and found that the system would automatically pop up a menu, showing her which rewards were available for unlocking and what conditions were needed for unlocking them.

Looking at these dazzling rewards, Camille Victoria couldn’t help but take two steps back, away from the area.

—She suddenly felt a vague pain in her liver.

Quickly staying away from the medal wall and two showcases, she began to observe the doors on the left and right.

On the left, there were three doors. Following the system’s prompts, they led to [Campaign], [Multiplayer Game], and [National Warfare].

There were also three doors on the right, leading to [Preparation Room], [Vehicle Depot] and [Armory].

Camille Victoria went to the [Vehicle Depot] and [Armory] first, only to find the vehicle depot completely empty and required war bonds to unlock.

The armory wasn’t much better, with only a few starting weapons, some hand grenades, and cold weapons. The only thing that looked impressive was a mortar.

Unlocking many other weapons required spending war bonds or completing specific tasks.

This resulted in Camille Victoria entering the preparation room to configure weapons for four different soldier types, but she didn’t have any other options and could only use the starting weapons.

—She didn’t have a single cent on her, so she couldn’t buy anything.

Finally, she returned to the combat room without interest, walked towards the doors leading to the game, intending to earn some money and level up first.

As for what to play…

According to her past habits, she would definitely play the [Campaign] thoroughly, deeply experience the game design, and then play multiplayer games.

It was easy to imagine that multiplayer gameplay might be bizarre and completely contrary to the game design style.

But the problem was—

Just a tutorial level, and Camille Victoria felt a bit overwhelmed.

The after-effects were huge!

The battlefield was so small, it could be described as a tiny place, yet there had been astonishingly intense confrontations.

Destroyed defense lines, soldiers in various states of death, shattered buildings, artillery fire, bombing, air raids, exploded tanks, and crashing fighters…

The environment was simply too intense.

And she didn’t get the “protagonist” treatment in this environment, being just like a battlefield grunt, dying in various ways.

Camille Victoria didn’t know how others felt, but she thought she needed to take a break…

So, she quickly went to the door of the [Multiplayer Game].

The live streaming audience didn’t have any objections. The only dissatisfaction was, “Why not go to [National Warfare]? The name sounds so exciting!”

Camille Victoria responded speechlessly, “I’m not even familiar with how to play this game yet. What am I going to do in National Warfare? Embarrass myself in foreign countries?”

“Step by step, become a top player first, and then fight for the country! So…”

“Multiplayer game, here we come!”

Shuihua was engrossed in watching when she was suddenly tapped on the shoulder by a hand, startling her.

As she turned her head to look, her face turned white—

The math teacher, having finished her urgent task, had already entered the classroom from the back door and even walked up behind her without her noticing!

She was so immersed in the live stream that she didn’t hear any footsteps… No, she hadn’t heard the door open, as the math teacher never made any footsteps sounds!

Shuihua was terrified.

She didn’t expect the usually strict math teacher to just gently knock on her head and signal her to put away her stuff.

After leaving a casually said “You can’t do this next time!”, she glossed over the issue and walked towards the podium.

Shuihua was lost in thought, realizing that after she improved her math mock exam average score from around 80 to 110 within just two or three months, the teacher seemed to have become much more lenient towards her.

It wasn’t just the math teacher; several other teachers had become more lenient as well.

She breathed a sigh of relief, quickly put away her mobile phone and headphones, and began working on the test papers in earnest.

Fortunately, it was just an ordinary practice test, and this class was only self-study, not an examination, so she didn’t need to submit the paper at the end of the class.

—After all, there wasn’t much time left before the class ended now.

The end of Shuihua’s first afternoon class marked the passing of 40 minutes since the launch of “Battlefield”.

Although the players in the game had just completed the tutorial level not long ago and the multiplayer games were just beginning, they couldn’t spare any time to evaluate the game.

However, those who were still at work or school and could only get up-to-date information about the game through live streaming had already begun discussing the game online.

Previous concerns about “low game completion,” “cutting players as leeks,” “Cloud Dream giving up its ideal,” and “players paying to work” had been dispelled.

Instead, discussions about the game content had started.

Just after being slapped in the face by “My World”‘s scoring, various game media outlets were unwilling to give this game a pre-score before the release of “Battlefield”.
