Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch-Chapter 1024

Chapter 1024: Chapter 950: An Endless Stream of New Things!_1 Chapter 1024 -950: An Endless Stream of New Things!_1 The outcry from overseas reached the Great Xia region, and amidst the busy Daxia players, some still found the time to follow up on it.

Among the attention it received, was from someone pretty special.

[Cloud Dream All-Star Track], [any% Rankings] at sixth place, and [100% Rankings] in eighth place: Yun Luo.

She once alternated with Hank, the King of the Track, for the first place in the [any% Rankings], only recently losing her competitive edge.

But that’s not because she reached her talent’s limit, but because her talent seemed to have hit a ceiling.

Contrary to Hank’s guess of her being “some career car racer who prefers to remain anonymous”, she is just a student who just entered her second year of high school this year.

She has not received any professional training.

...

The reason that she could compete with Hank for the world’s number one, has nothing to do with driving skills, but because she had a rare disease.

It might not be accurate to say so, because her symptom was so rare that it doesn’t have an accurate pathological name— it simply made her react super “fast”, abnormally fast!

As a child, her parents thought she had ADHD.

As she grew older, they suspected it was an anxiety disorder, and later they even thought it was a neurologic disorder…

After countless hospital visits and consultations with numerous doctors, after going through a wave of complex medical terms, her parents could only conclude that all the symptoms were because their daughter’s nerve response speed was naturally faster than an ordinary person’s.

But this kind of “speed” also led to variability in her emotions and attentiveness.

This made her struggling to focus for long periods of time – everything slow, boring, or repetitive would make her restless.

Her parents have always encouraged her: You can become a sports prodigy if you overcome these problems!

But Yun Luo discovered a few months ago: Maybe, compared to being a sports prodigy, I’m more inclined towards being a gamer expert?

She managed to break into the top hundred in the Dueling competition of [Testing the Sword], and in [Heavenly Falling Sword] event, she successfully grabbed a sword.

She even managed to drink a cup of vile cat poop wine during the signing event of the [Virtual World Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty]…

The racing playstyle fully demonstrated her advantage, even able to compete with top-level professional racers at the beginning!

Only when she pushed her talent to the limit and started to focus on every detail on the track did her inexperience show.

She gradually fell behind.

After all, top racers also have extraordinary talents, but she didn’t even have a driver’s license, all her driving skills come from the game.

Therefore, Yun Luo didn’t feel any dissatisfaction and merrily went off to play the New Game.

However, in “Pacific Rim”, she came across a completely unexpected issue: the core selling point of Pacific Rim— piloting a mech to fight monsters, felt very awkward for her.

That’s because she’s accustomed to being “fast” in the virtual world, but because of its gigantic form, the mechs simply can’t be “fast”.

Her rapid thought process and quick shifting attention caused great complications in her neural connections.

Even while in a single player state connected with an NPC, her sync rates were constantly fluctuating, let alone in multiplayer.

The first time she opened an Echo Instance and matched with other players to jointly control a mech, her sync rate was horribly low!

Finding the operating system of the mech within the river of consciousness and memory was simple for Yun Luo, but trying to synchronize her operating habits with a teammate’s was next to impossible.

Her teammate simply could not keep up with her pace.

Because of the extremely low sync rate, the mech stood still wobbling for a long time unable to move.

After receiving several glaring looks from her teammate, they couldn’t help but ask her, “Are you an overseas Chinese?”

“?” Yun Luo was stunned, “Why would you ask that?”

“Your sync rate is so low, your Chinese must be very poor, right?

But you look like a typical Daxia person, so…”

“???” Yun Luo was full of question marks, “Are you insulting me!”

“Huh?” His teammate was confused, “When did I insult you?”

“Although I’m from Minnan and my Mandarin isn’t that good, is it really bad enough to get me expelled from Daxia?!!” Yun Luo was furious.

“Eh…I’m sorry!” His teammate hurriedly apologized.

…

This Echo Instance ended in their utter defeat.

After finishing this unenjoyable cooperative play, just as Yun Luo was about to search online for players who encountered the same problem, she noticed demands for changes from overseas players.

It made her want to join the petition as well.

But as one says, family matters are well understood within the family.

She knew very clearly that this was not a problem with the game itself, but a unique situation she found herself in.

It would be hard to find enough people to join her in the petition.

This made her feel dispirited.

But giving up a huge part of the game’s core gameplay was something she couldn’t bear to do.

So with a pout, she started looking for information, hoping to find a solution to her problem.

This was a desperate attempt in response to her frustration, but she actually found a piece of valuable information—

[Besides the giant Hunter Mech and the small Exoskeletons in “Pacific Rim”, there are also Medium Mecha!]

In this post, the poster “Dreams of Misty Smoke” discovered a hidden underground warehouse while exploring the Hunter Base and found four Mechs ranging from 10 to 20 meters in size inside.

After an excited inspection, they found that the mechs weren’t damaged, but merely drained of energy.

If energy could be replenished, they should be operational!

So they went to many NPCs to inquire about these four mechs.

After running around and conversing for a while, he found out that these mechs were “Prototype models” of the Hunter Mechs.

They represented the transitional stage between the “Design blueprint” and the actual “Finished product” of the energy-consuming Hunter Mechs, acting as a technological verification process.

Of course, this was an early-stage practice.

As Mech building technology became more mature, even though each Hunter Mech became unique and stopped being mass-produced, there wasn’t a need to carry out this verification step anymore.

Thus, the medium mechs naturally disappeared.

Of course, Dreams of Misty Smoke didn’t stop there.

They went to find the general in charge of the base, hoping to activate these mechs.

The general, whose mind was full of plans for “destroying wormholes and saving the world”, sternly rejected him.

–Dreams of Misty Smoke guessed that this might be because the gameplay involving Medium Mechs was intended for the “Post-world saving” phase, and could only be unlocked after one finishes the main quests.

But players never liked to play the game according to the designers’ thoughts, so he went to find the technician who was originally in charge of building these Medium Mechs, and successfully triggered a series of missions.

He guessed: at the end of the series missions, he would be able to activate these Medium Mechs!

The conclusion hasn’t been confirmed because the series of missions was too long and he hasn’t finished them yet.

“Awesome!!!” Yun Luo immediately liked his post, then returned to the game trying to find the warehouse described in the post.

——If she couldn’t drive the Large Mech, then a Medium Mech wasn’t a bad compromise!

What she didn’t understand was: why did Cloud Dream leave these Medium Mechs in the game?

And: How many things did Cloud Dream actually put into this game?!
