Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch-Chapter 253 - 251: Adopting Heartbroken Players from the Competition Venue

Chapter 253: Chapter 251: Adopting Heartbroken Players from the Competition Venue

Translator: 549690339

Friday, 5 P.M.

At the Dream Cloud Studio, the operation team for “Assassins’ Alliance” unusually didn’t punch off on time.

Because the last day of the preliminary selection battle had just come to an end.

Number of teams that made it through today: 2400.

Total number of teams that made it through the 7-day preliminary selection battle: 14400!

If all the teams were full, there should be 144,000 players by now.

But actually, there were over 3000 teams that made it through not at full strength!

It’s not because people quit after making the cut, but that they initially participated in the competition with incomplete teams.

And despite their numerical disadvantage, they managed to make it through the fierce competition with only a one percent chance!

Apart from acknowledging them as badass in his heart, Lincoln really didn’t have anything else to say.

The critical segment was up next—distributing rewards!

Firstly, the most straightforward one, all participating players, would receive a certain amount of virtual currency.

Nothing much to say about this, it’s almost equal to robbing a small bank, similar to the reward obtained by the players who simply participated.

The rewards for the players who made it through would be much higher, approximately equating to robbing eight small banks, which should be enough to buy real estate in a prime location.

Then, all participating players will get a wooden achievement trophy, simply

engraved with [Freedom DayVeteran].

This is the legendry participation prize; it doesn’t have any special uses, except for having a tomato growing effect.

Once you place it in your virtual house, it will grow a vine, and then a little red tomato will sprout from it.

But it will only grow one, if you don’t pick it, then there will only ever be one tomato hanging there.

If you pick it off, then another one will grow the next day.

In some sense, that could be considered limitless.

Besides, these tomatoes are not ordinary tomatoes, but the most delicious Plateau Tomatoes, sent to him by Super Tomato.

Hopefully, the players would love it too.

If you don’t like it, feel free to smash the windows of Super Tomato’s house, it has nothing to do with him anyway.

Then there are the players who successfully made it through, they will receive an additional bronze achievement trophy, with the engraved word— [Freedom DayOne in a Hundred].

At the same time, they will also receive an octagonal brass Freedom Day Medal, which can either be worn on the chest or transformed into an octagonal brass emblem and displayed behind their ID.

For players who have already made it through, a single tomato can’t be used just to… reward.

Lincoln’s choice is—The Metropolitan Dynamic Model!

The achievement trophy can be transformed into a dynamic floating model of the Metropolitan Battlefield, including all the collapse patterns appeared in these seven days of preliminary selection battle.

Lincoln even incorporated a control function to make the model looks more valuable, player can set the city collapse orders and areas themselves.

Doesn’t it sound more high-end?

Well.. not that much high-end…

However, at this stage, the rewards are sent to tens of thousands of people, so memorabilia are the focus.

If you want something really good, then fight another round!

If you make it through again on Saturday, then there will be something really good!

At 6:00 PM, the operation team of “Assassins’ Alliance” started to pack up and head home after a day’s work.

The very next two days would be the final battle, and they still have overtime.

But the competition starts from 2:00 PM, so everyone can sleep in and come to work in the afternoon.

Meanwhile, the online players all received their rewards.

The players who made it through remain calm. After all, they have a medal, and a special identification, they’re pretty happy already.

As for the dynamic floating model, well, it’ll serve as a decoration in their virtual houses!

Not bad at all, with a high memorial value before the reproduction.

Moreover, it’s still unsure whether there will be a remake in the future. If not, the value will only go higher.

For players, “rarity” is a value in itself.

Over a hundred thousand may seem like a lot, but in front of a base of 20 million players, it can barely be considered rare.

However, an unexpected situation arose among the players who received the Tomato Trophy.

Initially, when players got the wooden trophy, they didn’t give it much thought, just casually placing it in their virtual house.

But after reading the information given by the system, and then seeing the wooden trophy sprouting creepers and growing a tomato at a visible pace, their feelings started to become subtle.

Yi sat in his house, watching the trophy grow a tomato, and fell into thought.

The comments started to fill up with the long-missed “Yi’s Momentary Divine Exploration” again.

But at a certain moment, Yi suddenly widened his eyes. As if struck by lightning, he seized the fleeting inspiration— A tomato is a vegetable.

And the trophy was growing a vegetable—

“Is this fucking mocking me for playing like garbage?!!” Yi roared furiously.

No sooner had he spoken than a dense barrage of comments sprung up:

“Exactly!”

“You’re absolutely right!” “That’s the whole point!”

“You finally figured it out!”

Yi, fuming with rage: “I’m being mocked here, can’t you guys console me for once?”

But on the live streaming screen, the comments continued to be filled with

“hahahaha”.

Although many people in the comments only received a wooden trophy that would grow tomatoes themselves, this didn’t prevent them from wildly mocking the anchor in the live streaming room.

It wasn’t just Yi who was being mocked. There were many anchors who were directly eliminated in the first round of the preliminary selection, and they basically all encountered the fans’ schadenfreude mockery.

It’s just that the way Yi was eliminated was overly ridiculous, so he became the main target.

In the end, it even became a unified comment:

“In esports, being garbage is the original sin!”

Finally, Yi, in his desperation, blatantly explained to everyone: “Perhaps it’s my inherent kindness that has hindered me from achieving the success I deserve in a violent game.” “So, I’d rather go back to my own game!”

‘”Light Encounter’, start!”

At present, when the number of virtual reality games is still scarce, players are not picky at all and basically play both games at the same time.

The preliminary selection ended for the night, and many players temporarily shifted their attention back to “Light Encounter”, trying to complete this week’s Eye of the Storm Sacrifice in time.

This week is the third sacrifice CD since the opening of “Light Encounter”.

In the first week, because it had just opened, most players didn’t have all their light wings pieces, so there were not many permanent light wings obtained from the sacrifice.

By the second week, the strategy was relatively complete, and the experts started pursuing full light wing sacrifices.

By this week, the first group of players was officially challenging Ten Wings.

Players who achieved Ten Wings at this stage could definitely be called Boss!

During the time when the “Assassins’ Alliance” preliminary selection was going on in full swing, the online data for “Light Encounter” players was also very stable.

However, compared to the wide-ranging intrigues and passionate clashes inside and outside the “Assassins’ Alliance” game, “Light Encounter” remained peaceful throughout.

Players just run the map every day, do daily tasks, meet some strangers, and take some travel photos here and there.

At this time, everyone still cherished their light wings, and the rather risky

daily Abyssal Dragon teasing gameplay had not been developed by anyone yet.

The entire game environment was incredibly harmonious, forming a stark contrast with the “Assassins’ Alliance”!

That night, even Samuel amusingly used “Light Encounter”‘s official account to post a Spiritual Rhinoceros moment—

“Welcoming the heartbroken boys and girls from the ‘Assassins’ Alliance’ battlefield..”
