Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 204: Chapter 202: The Greatly Shocked Lincoln

Translator: 549690339

Camille Victoria wasn’t in on Monday, but Cheryl was!

Lincoln held a full staff meeting, making it a truly comprehensive gathering!

So Cheryl knew the importance of the “very important little dog” Lincoln mentioned.

She quickly understood what he was up to.

“Boss, you’re playing with fire!” She solemnly warned Lincoln, “There are three big boxes of razor blades in the storage room right now!”

Before “Assassins’ Alliance,” the studio received thank-you letters for creating games like “Traveler of the Wind,” and they’re still coming in from time to time.

But after “Assassins’ Alliance,” the studio began to receive a steady stream of razor blades sent by players.

Cheryl worried that if Lincoln kept playing this dangerously, razor blades might start showing up at his own house!

“No problem.” Lincoln shrugged nonchalantly, “The security in my neighborhood is invincible.”

Camille Victoria looked puzzled as she listened to the conversation between the two.

Instead of explaining right away, Lincoln asked her, “Do you want to spend more time with the little dog, or come into the virtual world and watch the video of the meeting?”

Cheryl finally took the time to look at Camille Victoria, who was still wearing a hat and mask indoors.

Camille Victoria wanted to play with the cats and dogs, but Cheryl’s gossiping gaze was a bit too much for her to bear, so she followed Lincoln to his office and logged into the virtual world.

After patiently waiting for Camille Victoria to finish watching the video of the meeting, Lincoln brought the intern – a shocked “Victoria” – to the “Speed Chase World” he had just started building.

The initial framework of “Assassins’ Alliance” was built by Mavis, but that was just a rough outline.

The team went through a lot of revisions and reconstructions to build the virtual city “Metropolis.”

Everyone gained a lot of experience in this process.

One clear evidence is: now, everyone’s development tools have changed a lot.

Initially, everyone was given the most basic development software which was then customized with handy plugins to suit their needs as they used them.

Some plugins were developed by Lincoln, some by Mavis, and some by seasoned programmers within the staff.

Their experience in creating plugins also had two side effects –

Some people realized that the gap between people was greater than that between humans and dogs, becoming disheartened.

Others became more and more ambitious, feeling that they had the upper hand and everyone else was just chickens and dogs! Unconsciously, they began to become complacent.

Now, these tools have played a huge role in the development of “Speed Chase.” With the expansion of the team, the skeleton of the city was formed in just one day.

Some people were working on infrastructure, creating skyscrapers, bridges, rivers, trains, and buses…

Others were working on detailed tasks, carving out key locations in the buildings, and even adjusting the time to night to see how the lighting effects were.

The “Freedom Day” event for “Assassins’ Alliance” had not yet been finalized, but all the employees were engaged in building the virtual world, making rapid progress.

At this moment, Fred came over.

“Boss, we have a problem on our side.”

“What’s the problem?” Lincoln shifted his attention from the bustling scene.

“We found some minor deviations in the simulation of sensedata under some special environments. It would take too much effort to adjust them manually, which could seriously impact the development progress.”

“Ah, that problem.” Lincoln recalled, “Which aspects of the sense data are affected?”

“Bars, dance halls, nightclubs, parties, concerts, strip clubs.” Fred answered fluently.

1‘???” Lincoln looked at him, puzzled.

What? Does he have to go to a bar, nightclub, party, or strip club?

Speaking of which, are there strip clubs in Daxia Country?

There shouldn’t be, right?

No, there must not be!

Princess Victoria of Daxia is listening behind him!

But Lincoln quickly found a blind spot in his thinking, “Hasn’t there been an issue with the sense data at gay bars? You’ve always wanted to add them to the virtual world, right?”

Fred had previously wanted to add gay bars to the “Assassin’s Alliance,” and

Lincoln didn’t stop him. Lincoln naturally didn’t have the sense data for them.

Drinking, music, and atmosphere data weren’t lacking, but Lincoln didn’t have the experience of being touched by a man from his shoulder to his elbow and being softly invited for a drink…

Upon hearing Lincoln’s question, Fred hesitated for a moment and then admitted, “The sense data is difficult to write. I missed the deadline for ‘Assassins’ Alliance,’ but I’ve been working on it. With the existing data in the database, I’ve put together a more comprehensive set.”

Lincoln silently contemplated for a moment.

“Well, then, please use the same method to create the sense data for strip clubs that you’re so obsessed with!” Lincoln told Fred.

As for bars… In his previous life, Lincoln had only been to a quiet bar with friends, where they had a couple of cocktails and chatted before leaving.

But the kind of sense data Fred needed for the game were places filled with loud noises, rock music, spotlights, DJs, spraying champagne, and dancing crowds…

Lincoln really didn’t have that kind of experience.

“I’ll handle the rest of the data for the other places.” As the boss, he should try to solve the employees’ problems as much as possible – except for strip clubs. Let the employees figure that out on their own.

The good news was that this kind of sense data could be mostly experienced after just one visit to a nightclub.

The sense data needed for dance halls, parties, bars, and nightclubs were not much different. Lincoln could deconstruct the nightclub sense data, mix it as needed, and make fine adjustments without too much trouble.

“Alright, Boss, please hurry! Once you have the sense data ready, we can work on the sense data for the strip club,” Fred said before walking away.

“Wait!” As Lincoln watched Fred walk away, he suddenly recalled something and called out to him.

“I just remembered a question! When you mentioned ‘a strip club without nudity,’ were you talking about… male strippers?!”

Lincoln was shocked by his own thoughts, startled.

Camille Victoria, who was standing behind him, had been listening to their conversation without saying a word. When she heard Lincoln’s question, her expression changed as if she had been struck by lightning, and she looked at Fred, frightened.

Fred looked surprised, opened his mouth but didn’t say anything.

Seeing Fred’s reaction, Lincoln was dumbfounded: “My God, were you really

planning that?!”
