Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 853: Chapter 812 – I Knew It!_1

Today is the Small Spring Festival, and there are only a few employees still working at Cloud Dream Company.

Even those who are still at work have been sent home by Lincoln to work remotely. After all, meeting in the virtual office is no different from meeting in reality.

Nevertheless, currently, there are indeed only a few people who need to work.

All the contents of the first chapter of “Chang’an” have been finalized. Many employees have started to ponder new gameplay for the second chapter.

What remains now is the release of the game. As long as no outlandish problems arise, they can have a peaceful Lunar New Year.

Based on past experience and confidence in their own abilities, everyone doesn’t think any problems will arise, so everyone is very relaxed.

Lincoln was still a bit dazed when he was awakened by Mavis—training during the day was quite hard, and he had to research microchips at night, so it was inevitable that he would have difficulty waking up in the morning.

The Aerospace Training Center has not yet closed for the holiday.

Due to the high intensity and tight schedule of aerospace tasks, aerospace workers only rest for three days from Chinese New Year’s Eve to the second day of the lunar year, and do not take time off during other times.

Lincoln’s training schedule, of course, also continues until the day before Chinese New Year’s Eve.

“Ahhh~~~” He yawned, stretching lazily, and slowly crawled out of bed.

“What time is it?”

“7:50, there are only 10 minutes left.” Mavis accurately reported the time.

Upon hearing this, Lincoln immediately became considerably more alert.

It wasn’t that he was worried about missing out on important matters, but mainly that he didn’t want to miss the expressions on the players’ faces when they entered the opening mission.

He quickly got dressed and washed up with his eyes half shut. As he finished his ablutions, there was a knock on the door. Yue Pengju had brought him breakfast.

While eating, Lincoln couldn’t help but think: Yue Pengju seemed to be developing more in the direction of a life assistant.

While eating, he had already put on the headband. Mavis also brought her little bowl over to eat together, occasionally picking some food from his dish.

Of course, the main business was not delayed: several holographic windows had already appeared on the dining table, allowing Lincoln to enjoy the bustling scene while eating.

The smallest window was the countdown to release, which had now reached the last minute.

The second smallest window was the sales backend of “Chang’an”, responsible for tracking the total sales of the game.

The rest were streamers from major live streaming platforms. The ones Lincoln was most familiar with were in the most prominent positions.

Now these streamers all sat in their virtual houses, quietly waiting for the countdown to end, ready to rush into Chang’an at the first chance.

Beyond Lincoln and Mavis’s lens, there were many more streamers doing the same.

“Chang’an” has once again continued the tradition of Cloud Dream, dominating all gaming sections on all live streaming platforms!

“3!”

“2!”

“1!”

“Release!” Samuel operated it himself. The moment “Chang’an” officially launched and the servers opened, he posted as many as seven congratulatory graphics for sales!

They celebrated that “Chang’an’s” sales exceeded 500,000 copies, 1 million copies, 1.5 million copies, 3 million copies, 5 million copies, 8 million copies, and 10 million copies respectively!

Where have the players and media seen such grandeur before?

Although they already knew that the presale sales of “Chang’an” exceeded 11 million copies, they were still shocked by the momentum of Cloud Dream releasing seven congratulatory graphics at once.

They immediately followed suit and reposted the post celebrating the sales of 10 million copies.

But before they could think of what to say, Samuel released the eighth sales congratulatory graphic—

[Congratulations to “Chang’an” for breaking 12 million copies sold! Thank you players for your love and support!]

Media outlets who had just reposted the 10 million sales congratulatory poster had to immediately repost the latest post.

Then just after reposting, Samuel’s 14 million sales congratulatory graphic came out!

“?”

Media outlets felt that something was not quite right and quickly halted the reposting action.

And their judgment was very wise—

A few seconds later, Samuel once again released a sales congratulatory graphic for 16 million copies.

The game media outlets still held their horses.

The following was a congratulatory graphics for 18 million and 20 million copies respectively.

Not only were the media outlets stunned, but ordinary netizens were also shocked — are sales exceeding 20 million in less than 5 minutes?!

Each copy costs 500 dollars, a total revenue of 10 billion!

Netizens exclaimed: That’s too terrifying!

How long has “Chang’an” been in development?

More than a month? Even if you take the time of Wu Di entering Chang’an as a coordinate, and go back two months earlier, it’s only a total of three months.

Can a money-printing machine print 10 billion in three months?

Not to mention this is just the beginning. Looking at this momentum, the sales of “Chang’an” are far from over!

The Chief Editor of “Game Base” finally figured out how to describe the sales of “Chang’an”—

[Terrifying!]

—— Cloud Dream’s previous games also had a terrifying number of sales, but they all had a gradual process unlike the current exaggeration.

The journey of “Chang’an’s” sales continues outside the game.

Inside the game, the journey of the players has just begun.

The moment he logged in, Warehouse Bird saw a scene.

The scene was blurry for some reason, but he could still vaguely see that it was the backyard of a farmhouse, a little boy and a little girl were chasing chickens in the courtyard.

Then the faces of the blurred parents also appeared, and the family of four were very harmonious.

But in the next scene, a bandit suddenly broke into the house. The parents hid the two children but fell in a pool of blood.

The villagers found the two children under the bed the next day, both of whom had lost their parents cried bitterly.

In the next scene, the sister left with a person in gray clothes, while the brother stayed in the village.
