Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch-Chapter 539 - 519: “Its Farewell”

Chapter 539: Chapter 519: “Its Farewell”

The sudden influx of questioning voices in the live broadcast room left Ivan Ivanov a bit baffled.

He didn’t understand what was going on. Wasn’t it just killing a horse? Was it really worth getting so excited about?

Hadn’t he been ruthless before?

Staring at the rapidly scrolling comments, Ivan finally figured out what was going on after some effort—

“You’re saying this white horse isn’t an ordinary horse, but an extremely rare mutant breed?”

“Releasing it would grant me an extremely rare achievement?”

“And just discovering this horse alone could make me money? I could make…”

“26,000 rubles?!” Ivan’s voice suddenly rose a notch.

He had no idea about this!

Looking at the pure white loot on the ground, already dead and waiting for him to collect, and then looking at the unanimous regret in the live broadcast room, Ivan felt a little upset.

But he couldn’t blame anyone but himself.

In the past, the global three strategic alliances’ Internet information was separated, and people were used to not paying much attention to external information—after all, it was difficult for ordinary people to do so.

But then the wars stopped, and the Internet in all three regions was all connected, loosening this separation greatly.

Although there was still some threshold for connecting to the Internet and obtaining information across regions, it was much easier compared to the complete isolation in the past.

Even so, netizens in most European countries would only visit America’s Internet.

Daxia?

Very few.

After all, apart from technology, language is also a difficult barrier to cross.

This situation persisted for more than ten years until—

Cloud Dream began to expand overseas!

In the virtual world, language barriers were transcended by Cloud Dream’s epoch-making magical technology.

In Cloud Dream’s territory, whether it’s in Cloud Dream’s games, Cloud Dream Live, Cloud Dream Game Forum, or Player Discussion Group, language barriers have been dissolved.

No matter which country you come from or what your native language is, you can communicate without barriers.

Even using the game consoles’ built-in panel to jump to external links, as long as Cloud Dream has operations there, most of the information on the Internet of that country can be easily accessed.

—This is also one aspect of Cloud Dream’s cooperation negotiations.

Although the translation of this part of the information is not as perfect as Cloud Dream’s native experience, it’s still barely usable.

In this way, Cloud Dream, with the virtual world as its carrier, has indeed opened up nearly two-thirds of the Internet world in a substantial sense.

Only America’s Internet world has not been connected.

With such a convenient tool, different countries, especially countries with different strategic alliances and language regions, have gained great convenience in understanding each other.

It’s just that Cloud Dream’s user base in European countries is still too small, and people are only using it to play games and search for game information, which is why it hasn’t caused much of a sensation.

But in the future, Lincoln had no doubt that this [Babel Tower Project] of the virtual age would become a significant undertaking globally.

Thanks to this, after Super Tomato and Camille Victoria shared the news that the albinism animal grants rare achievements, the news spread quickly and was verified by many players.

Players in every overseas country who were willing to follow the game community’s dynamics could easily obtain this information.

Unfortunately, rough guy Ivan Ivanov had no concept of this.

Many of his ideas hadn’t been updated at all, and he hadn’t even thought about looking at Daxia’s Internet world.

So this tragedy happened.

“How rare is this?” Ivan asked the audience unwillingly.

Comments immediately told him, “Very, very, very rare.”

Ivan opened his mouth wide, was silent for a long time, and finally said with a pained heart, “Alright then!”

But after collecting the loot, he felt a little reluctant: “How about I search around for another one? What if there’s a second albino?”

The live broadcast room was no longer freaking out, but had switched to mockery mode:

“There’s no more! You’ve used up your luck for this year!”

“Just wait to get lucky with someone else! How could someone come across two in a row? What kind of luck would that take?!”

“Wait a minute… there seems to be someone in Daxia’s player base who has actually encountered this!”

…

Watching the discussion in the live broadcast room, Ivan’s eyes lit up bit by bit: “So, there really were people who encountered a second albinism animal right after the first one?”

“Then I must try!”

“If others can do it, why can’t I?!”

Ivan enthusiastically got on the all-terrain vehicle, preparing to continue searching for albinism animals.

It wasn’t until then that he noticed the system had just undergone an online update.

He sat in the car, casually clicked on the announcement, and wanted to see what had been updated.

In Yelang’s live broadcast room, the newly influxed audience was also enthusiastically notifying him of the news:

“Yelang, check the announcement! You don’t have to smell the 4 times heavier shit anymore, hurry up and kowtow to Lincoln!”

“Might as well light some incense!”

“And also eat his offerings!”

…

Yelang was not in the “Hunter” world but was viewing the announcement through the external link on the panel.

He found that the announcement mainly talked about four things:

First: Add an option for “Real Feces Smell”.

Once selected, no matter what you have previously voted, you can directly roll back to the taste of the game during its initial testing.

Second: Add “Illustrations” gameplay.

Players can search for and take photos of specific plants, landscapes, fish, and other items to enrich their pictorial book and earn corresponding rewards.

Plants range from tiny moss to tall deciduous pines, even the leaves, flowers, and fruits of the plants all have separate illustrations.

Landscapes are the same, with separate illustrations for special locations, angles, seasons, and weather.

Fish are not to mention; you need to catch them yourself.

Only insects are not included, considering that many people are disgusted by insects.

Not only are there no illustrations, but in fact, there are no insects in the “Hunter” world at all.

In short, the “Illustrations” system has considerable gameplay depth and can extend more gameplay as the map updates.

Third: “Hunting Contest” event preview.

As the name suggests, Cloud Dream is preparing a hunting contest.

Not only are there rich rewards and exclusive achievements in the competition, but the top-performing players can also get the title of [Honorary Player] for the following month.

Fourth: The all-new map “Medvedev”.

This Siberian-style map under development will meet players in December.

After roughly reading the announcement, Yelang casually closed the panel – he didn’t plan to immediately go back to take some pictures for the illustration book or smell some shit.

“I will definitely play the Hunting Contest, but since it hasn’t started yet, I’ll talk about it later.”

Right now, he had more important things to do: follow Yi to Hell.

— which is the Nether in the “My World” game.

Because Yelang had an extremely severe social death experience before, he suffered another wave on the airship on Saturday, and the aftermath was so big that he didn’t log in on Sunday.

Not only did he not log in, but he even turned off his phone completely, blocking all information that might lead to social death.

When Monday came, he finally adjusted his mindset and logged in again.

But instead of starting the live broadcast immediately, he first smashed the villagers’ beds around him and put them in his bag before opening the live broadcast.

After that, he didn’t bother chatting and hurried to find Yi.

He wanted to fulfill his promise to himself on the airship – to stuff this bed into the core of the earth!

Although “My World” can’t reach the core of the earth, it can go to the “Nether” instead.

The environment of the Nether looks like the mantle layer, which counts as fulfilling his promise!

However, his game time is too short to go to the Nether.

Shortly after the Super Tomato video was released on Saturday, someone else posted a “Mysterious Portal” video, which led all players to discover the existence of the Nether and begin a comprehensive exploration of the Nether.

However, Yelang was absent throughout the entire game, and without even a bucket of lava, he couldn’t make an obsidian teleportation gate naturally.

So he asked Yi for help and hoped to reach the Nether through Yi’s teleportation gate and get rid of this broken bed that had brought him many painful memories!

After listening to Yelang’s words, Yi’s eyes rolled and confirmed again, “Are you really going to throw this bed into the Nether? You hate this bed that much?”

“Yes! Absolutely! One hundred percent!” Yelang said viciously.

“Alright! I can’t refuse my brother’s request, let’s go!”

Yi decisively took Yelang to the obsidian-made “Nether Portal,” bent down, and made a welcoming gesture-

“Come! Please enter!”

When Yelang entered, Yi quickly followed, arriving in the gloomy, hot Nether.

Seeing that Yelang was about to throw away the bed, Yi quickly reached out to stop him, “Aren’t you going to say goodbye to it or something?”

“Say goodbye to it my ass!” Yelang shouted angrily.

“Alright then.” Yi moved away from Yelang, saying, “Let it say goodbye to you.”

“?” Yelang didn’t understand the meaning of this, “Can this broken bed talk?”

Although puzzled, he had no intention of delaying any further. After moving a few steps away from the teleportation gate, he casually threw the bed down.

Then–

“Boom!!!”

An unprecedented explosion, far more intense than a TNT block, erupted at Yelang’s feet!

The massive impact and deafening explosion sound rushed towards him!

Yelang’s eyes went black, and he was instantly killed! Before he died, there was only one insane laughter in his ears, apart from the sound of explosion–

“Hahahaha! Awesome!!!”
