Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

He skipped breakfast and rushed to work.

When leaving the residential area, Yue Pengju stopped the car for a moment, took breakfast from the security miss and handed it to Lincoln before driving to the company with peace of mind.

Whilst sitting in the co-driver’s seat, Lincoln’s thoughts were racing.

Considering that there were already too many games with a gunfight theme, and even Lincoln himself was tired of making them, he didn’t plan to start from scratch and create a virtual environment version of “Fortnite” for this “Gunfight + Building” game.

──If he did that, he would completely deviate from the original purpose.

Since the original purpose was to celebrate Randall and Little Chun’s wedding, this game should be a “gift” rather than a “product”.

In this way, he can justifiably use elements from “Battlefield” and “My World”.

In collaboration!

It’s about having fun together with the players.

When the players are happy, they will naturally thank Randall and Little Chun, and send their blessings to their marriage.

Lincoln felt that such a gift was more valuable and meaningful than simply sending a big red packet.

As for how to release…

Isn’t “My World” just about to launch a mod-sharing platform?

Just make it into a mod and release it for free!

With all the ready-made materials: maps, firearms, building systems, it will be easy!

It’s even debatable whether to add the ladder or not.

When Lincoln arrived at the company entrance, he made up his mind: in order to ensure the purity and timeliness of the gift, the ladder would not be added for now.

If players really have a strong demand for it later on, it can be added then.

Considering the nature of the “gift,” Lincoln also didn’t plan to ask Cloud Dream employees for help, just working on this “Collaborative Map” with Mavis himself.

Well… maybe Camille Victoria could be involved?

Little Princess has a pretty good relationship with the couple, and Little Chun has always taken good care of her.

When Quentina saw Lincoln arrive at the company more than half an hour earlier than usual, she was quite surprised, and many employees were also amazed.

Lincoln greeted everyone before entering the office.

Upon logging into the virtual world, Mavis immediately jumped into Lincoln’s arms, happily saying, “Mavis is so happy!”

“Yes, I’m happy too.” Lincoln embraced Mavis and touched her little head. “That’s why we’re going to send them a gift.”

“Do people in the company group chat know about this news?”

Lincoln thought that by now the company group chat should be bubbling with excitement.

But Mavis shook her head and said, “Not yet, they haven’t announced it in the company group chat yet, right now they’re talking about something else.”

“What is it?” As Lincoln spoke, he took out his phone and opened the group chat.

But there was no chatting in the group, it was eerily quiet.

“?” Lincoln looked at Mavis quizzically.

“Hehe.” Mavis grinned, opened a window, and showed Lincoln another group chat that he wasn’t in.

What these people were passionately discussing was a video newly released on pilipilli ──

“God, let me save one more! | God, let me save one more!”

Lincoln opened the link and found that the video had been edited by Camille Victoria overnight.

“She’s starting her video uploader career so soon?” Lincoln was surprised. “And she released it so early, did she not sleep all night, editing the video? That’s too intense!”

At the beginning of the video, there were solemn black and white subtitles, and the voiceover was Camille Victoria’s monologue ──

“My dream is to become a battlefield doctor.”

“When everyone is killing lives on the battlefield, I hope I can be the one who saves lives.”

“Thank God, I did it.”

Dense comments suddenly emerged ──

[I believe in your evil!]

[High energy warning!]

[Please do not watch the following content while eating or drinking! Otherwise, you might damage your computer and mobile phone!]

[Adults please watch with minors]

…

“What does it mean?” Lincoln was puzzled, “Judging from the title and the beginning, isn’t this very serious content?”

Just as he finished speaking, a body spiraled into the sky and fell from the heavens, crashing in front of the camera.

In a close-up shot, the dead man’s head rested on his lower leg, his arm twisted behind his back, and his body contorted into a demonic posture.

And as the camera moved to his face, Lincoln realized: the dead man was himself.

“What the hell?”

In the video, Camille Victoria gives Lincoln an injection, and he immediately gets up, full of life.

But the next moment, he was riddled with bullets from attacks coming from all directions.

The video switches to a scene where Lincoln was sniping enemies from the second floor and got blasted by a mortar. Camille Victoria jumped down the building, chasing him, and narrowly managed to revive him with an injection before the countdown ended.

However, the moment he got up, his head was blown off by a sniper and he fell to the ground.

The video keeps switching scenes –

In the Sinai Desert, a fast-moving two-seater tricycle drove past with a flamethrower soldier in full armor in the cargo bed, spraying bullets at Lincoln and burning him into a corpse.

But Camille Victoria appeared out of nowhere and used an injection to pull Lincoln up.

Seeing this, the bouncing car that had already driven away, immediately made a U-turn and came back, and the flamethrower soldier started spraying fire again!

Lincoln was set on fire again…

The video switches again:

While running, Lincoln was suddenly hit head-on by a field gun. Camille Victoria had to run more than a dozen meters before she could find his body.

Lincoln was killed by dozens of people rushing in with knives indoors…

Annihilated by dense landmines, killed by rain-like anti-tank hand grenades, targeted by snipers, and ravaged by light machine guns and heavy machine guns in turn…

Every time, Camille Victoria would rush to the front line to pull him up.

Then watch him get killed again…

— Of course, this was edited content, and Princess had rescued him more times than Camille Victoria did, but it just didn’t appear in the video.

However, just the scenes of Camille Victoria saving him alone were enough to make an 8-minute video!

Moreover, Camille Victoria added a tragic, touching music to it, which combined with the various hilarious death scenes of Lincoln in the video, made the audience unable to stop laughing.

The entire screen was filled with “HAHAHAHA” laughter.

Instead of being a “collection of rescues” by Camille Victoria, this entire video seemed more like a “collection of deaths” of Lincoln!

Lincoln slapped himself on the face, regretting, “I regret it now!”

Last night, before logging off, Camille Victoria asked him if she could include him in her video.

At that time, he casually waved his hand and said, “Cut it at will.”

Camille Victoria even asked, “Can I use any content?”

Without much thought, Lincoln directly replied, “Rest assured, use it however you want!”

As a result, Camille Victoria didn’t hesitate at all. That night, she stayed up late to edit this video. She might have been afraid that Lincoln would change his mind and not let her edit these shots…

But regardless, her efforts did yield rewards—

Without a doubt, this outrageous video went viral. By the time Lincoln saw it, it had only been an hour since its release, but it had already garnered over 4 million views.

As more and more people wake up and go to work, this video undoubtedly has huge room for improvement.

Before this video was released, the uploader’s account had barely had 80,000 fans, and after the release, it had skyrocketed to over 300,000!

If measured by the standard of an uploader’s debut, this was undoubtedly an amazing start.

Seeing all this, Lincoln couldn’t help but sigh:

“So, Dog Egg, what’s the price?”

As he spoke, he took out a small notebook and recorded the matter.

Just you wait!

This week, we’ll meet in Terraria!
