Chapter 294: 292: Everyone is Responsible for Taking Care of Novice Players
However, as the conversation unfolded, she found herself not chatting with an entrepreneur or a businessman, but conversing with an idealist full of goodwill towards the general public, especially the disadvantaged.
This feeling was intensified time and again during subsequent interviews she conducted with the prosthetic company, the Journey Plan, and the focus headband.
The more she got to know about Lincoln, the more she felt she was approaching a saint.
She quickly took a look at Lincoln’s Spiritual Rhinoceros homepage and his bizarrely sarcastic and scathing posts helped to fade her absurd impressions.
However, as a reporter, she was sure to divulge the authentic details gained from the interview.
Except for the part about educational innovation.
The account she penned on this subject, was filled with her amazement at this technology, and echoes her foresight of the immense transformation zones the education sector will transition into.
However, when she submitted the article, the Chief Editor sought her out, persuaded her with coaxing words and promised that once it was officially public, the original article would be reprinted uncut, and the in-depth report would be assigned to her.
That unequivocally led the piece she crafted to possess the form it currently takes.
But this was already more than enough!
Just look at the comment section:
“I was severely ill as a child, and my body has always been weak. After playing VR games for 20 minutes, my hands and feet cramp and I sweat profusely. But in VR games, I can play till the anti-addiction prompts pop up! What more needs to be said?”
“After a car accident, I bought the Flying Dragon Second Generation for 80,000 at home and sold it for 58,000, believing I’d bid gaming farewell for the rest of my life. Thanks to Lincoln, thanks to the virtual environment.”
“Paralyzed for eight years, never thought I’d experience the joy of free movement again. Thank you, Lincoln.”
“Born blind, for the first time, I saw the world clearly with the help of the Eight Sides headband. Only now do I realize that the past twenty-one years were nothing but a hazy survival. Now I can truly say I am living.”
“Accidentally lost my hearing for three years. Hearing sounds again, even the annoying noises I once found irritating sound wonderful.”
These were normal and understandable comments from netizens.
However, some netizens’ comments were not so normal.
The kind of stuff you’d spurt out if you’re high on booze or hallucinogenic mushrooms:
“Do you know why dinosaurs became extinct? It’s because their arms were too short to clap for Lincoln!”
“I always use Lincoln’s picture as a screensaver because angels will protect me!”
“Life is short, and it’s because Lincoln is too sweet!”
“Lincoln is the love of all people!”
“Lincoln, Lincoln! Take me away! How can I live without you!”
As Mavis laughed her heart out, she jotted down the latter kinds of comments, eager to show them to Lincoln and see his reaction!
Unfortunately, Lincoln wasn’t in the virtual world at the moment. He was in the “Underground Air Raid Shelter Testing Room”, trying his hand at creating a game cabin.
The equipment that was originally in the home workshop was also moved to the laboratory, thanks to Yue Pengju getting security team staff to move it.
While Mavis was recording these wonderfully cheesy flatteries, she kept a keen eye on Lincoln’s posts.
Since upgrading to the luxurious new home – Dongting Supercomputing, she now had the capacity to assist Lincoln with his research while having the spare time to enjoy the hot gossip and unfolding dramas.
Her happiness levels were significantly boosted!
At the same time, she tried to keep Lincoln away from these comments as much as possible, to keep the surprise intact for later!
Lincoln, obligingly engrossed in his work, paid no attention to social media whatsoever.
After all, Mavis always kept him posted on important matters, so he never worried about missing out on anything.
Intensely focused on his work, two days passed by swiftly.
During these two days, the gaming circle was continuously immersed in a lively and cheerful atmosphere.
First, there was Yi, the “hotspot character” who had 150,000 viewers watching him wake up after sleeping through an entire night of live streaming.
After skipping the live streaming, he quietly went online to play games, only to be caught red-handed by his fans.
More coincidentally, in that round, there were three players who turned out to be his fans.
Moreover, it was the [Water Rise Climb] race track, a timed run where the water level keeps rising and if it goes over your neck, you’re immediately eliminated.
Yi hadn’t run much and was immediately surrounded by three fans.
One in front, one on each side, pinning him between them as they run and chat, asking him what it feels like to be watched by “150 million people while sleeping”, while urging him to start his live stream.
The water was rising rapidly behind him. There was a person blocking his way up front, and people on either side were babbling at him: “Why are you playing games but not live streaming?”
“Doesn’t it feel like you’re working for free when you’re playing games but not live streaming?”
Under such circumstances, anyone would lose focus. In the end, all three were knocked over by a giant rolling ball and were flushed out of the game!
What Yi found most absurd was that the three of them who had been chattering throughout the game had the audacity to ask him for a friend slot!
Unfortunately for him, one of them had been a hardcore fan for a long time. In the end, he reluctantly added them as a friend.
After the game, Yi grudgingly turned down the hardcore fan’s invitation to team up and play together.
He swiftly accessed the panel, located the game’s feedback channel, and voiced his dissatisfaction:
“Why doesn’t this game have a limit to the number of friends? Please add it ASAP! I’m waiting online. It’s urgent!”
On Camille Victoria’s side, she was still continuing her “Thirty crowns, won’t stop broadcasting until I get them all” plan on the second day.
Yes, she had disgracefully ended her broadcast yesterday.
After joining Shuihua’s team, she, Shuihua, and Lance became a trio, joining the four-person team competition, and a random player was matched to join them in each round.
In fact, Camille Victoria started to regret as soon as she joined the team and saw Shuihua and Lance…
Her relationship with Shuihua wasn’t just a mere teammate relationship that’s shown to the public.
As old friends who got acquainted in “Traveler of the Wind”, they have chatted a lot privately, so Camille Victoria was very aware of the situation between
Lance and Shuihua.
That’s why she felt like a third wheel when she saw the two of them playing games together.
If she was just a third wheel, Camille Victoria wouldn’t be afraid, but they aren’t actually a couple yet, so she can’t even properly be a third wheel!
She might even be standing in the way of their progress…
This made Camille Victoria feel guilty, frequently casting apologetic glances at
Lance.
But the audiences didn’t know about these complicated psychological dynamics!
So in their eyes, her behavior became—
“Oh no, she’s looking at him for the fourth time already! Camille Victoria must be falling for him!” “No, please promise me to be a single fairy for the rest of your life, okay?” “My youth is over!”
“Camille Victoria, meeting someone you like is a good thing, but stealing your best friend’s man isn’t good…”
“Snap out of it, old woman, that young man isn’t even an adult yet!”
“Fifth time! Pay attention to your image!”
Lance also noticed Camille Victoria’s gazes, feeling rather perplexed: why do you keep looking at me?
Only Shuihua was carefree, enjoying the whole process like a child.
Especially when they ended up on tracks like [Breaking Through Doors], [Tiptoe], and [Jungle Adventure] that heavily relied on luck, Shuihua was extremely excited.
Although the unheard-of situation of “being chosen by fate” didn’t happen again, the path Shuihua chose often had a 70-80% chance of being correct!
On such tracks, it was really easy for Shuihua to secure a spot in the top three!
The only problem was—the [Candy Track] didn’t have that many lanes that tested luck…
The tracks that tested skills and abilities were far more common than those that tested luck.
Even though Lance was there for the skill -related tracks, and could make up for a lot, taking the first place and getting the crown was still not an easy task.
Camille Victoria was kicked out by the Anti-Addiction System before she managed to get 25 crowns.
Then she got up at 7 in the morning, opened Yi’s live broadcast room, and barely made it through more than half an hour.
Only after watching Yi’s wonderful performance after he woke up, was she satisfied enough to go back to sleep.
She slept all the way till the afternoon and only woke up because her stomach won’t stop grumbling.
After eating the takeout, she immediately logged in and continued to strive.
Live broadcast room title—
’30 crowns, won’t stop broadcasting until I get them all! (25/30)’
The audiences that flooded in, immediately began to tease when they saw the title:
“Won’t stop broadcasting until I get them all—unless she really can’t get them.”
“I keep my word—unless I don’t.”
“Who has such a big tone? Oh, it’s 25/30. Okay, never mind.”
—Indeed, there’s nothing to worry about now.
This is already the second day since the game was released.
After such a long time gaming, the weight of the wrap has been finely adjusted according to the winning rate, making the game more fair.
The hidden-evaluation mechanism for players also began to take effect.
After a few matches, you always come across somewhat weaker opponents. As long as you play long enough, you can surely get those five crowns.
—Even if your skills are so poor to the point you always lose in the millions of online players…
That’s still fine!
Lincoln has thoughtfully arranged for stupid robots to accompany you and play.
Anyway, he will overcome all difficulties to make sure you experience the joy of triumph.
Lincoln called this backup plan the—Humanistic Care System.
After all, elite players can only determine the game’s operation limit, while average players are actually the main base of the game!
Therefore—
Caring for novice players is everyone’s responsibility!
