Chapter 266: Chapter 264: Let’ s Play a Game Again!

Translator: 549690339

Starting today, Lincoln would begin working at the new company.

Actually, he thought the original office space was a bit cramped, and if it weren’t for everyone working in the virtual world, which was spacious beyond belief, he wouldn’t have been able to stand it.

Quentina was super efficient, and the moving process had already started since last evening.

As for the employees, those who had cars drove themselves, and those who didn’t had a company shuttle to bring them over. Since Cloud Dream’s work hours started late, the location change had little impact.

The lease for the original office space wasn’t ending so soon, so Quentina arranged for each department or group to move over according to their schedules.

However, the first to move was Cheryl’s “Pet Department.”

Although Cheryl was a recent graduate and initially just the company receptionist, she was, regardless, one of the company veterans.

Despite her young age and baby face, her pleasant personality made her popular with everyone.

So, when she asked if her cats could move over first, everyone readily agreed.

Mainly because the cats in the office were no longer just employees’ pets – they had unintentionally adopted eight stray cats from the surrounding area.

As a measure to “reduce employee work stress,” these cats were brought to a pet store by Cheryl for cleaning, vaccinations, neutering, and grooming. They became official Cloud Dream employees, complete with ID badges.

While they did provide aid to stray dogs, they couldn’t take them in.

After finding and caring for them, they would post online, publically seeking owners for people who loved dogs to adopt.

After all, the company was a place for work, and it wasn’t suitable for dogs to cause a commotion.

Even so, the crowded office space wasn’t suitable for pets any longer. Employees were already aware of this and stopped bringing their cats to the office.

So, when they mentioned moving to a more spacious office location, Cheryl immediately applied to move first.

After all, her “Pet Department” consisted of only three human employees, not counting the pets. Quentina didn’t hesitate to agree.

So, on Lincoln’s first day in the new company, the first thing he saw was cats scampering on the lawn outside, along with Cheryl holding a camera and chasing behind them, shouting and calling out.

Lincoln put Little Milkshake down, and as expected, it jumped and bounded towards Cheryl, looking like a little sycophant.

He greeted Cheryl and strolled inside the building.

Though Cheryl’s “Pet Department” was a holdover, the first officially scheduled move was Fred’s “Speed Chase” production team.

This was now the largest group within the company.

In order to ensure the smooth development of the company’s next key project, Quentina woke up early, followed the bus, and transported the personnel and office supplies there.

—To respect employees’ privacy, the items on employees’ desks were not touched during yesterday’s move. This morning, employees were asked to pack their belongings and bring them over.

Following them was Little Chun’s department.

Although Lincoln had high expectations for this department, due to its team

size, they were only currently operating “Light Encounter.”

However, with the recently added personnel, it was about time a new casual game’s development began.

The studio had just moved in, so everything was a bit haphazard and messy at this time.

At first glance, it didn’t even seem as tidy as it was yesterday.

However, this was inevitable. They had to wait for everyone to arrive before they could do a thorough cleaning and slowly bring the environment back on track.

However, this did not affect the work of Fred and Little Chun’s team members.

—Quentina had instructed the girls in the administration department to prepare two spacious and clean rooms in advance as their temporary work area.

As soon as Fred and Little Chun’s team members arrived at the new company, after exclaiming, “What a great place, the boss has excellent taste!”

They were unceremoniously ushered into their work areas by the administrative girls.

They didn’t have the time to get a full look at the new environment, let alone take a tour of the entire company, before being forced to dive into the virtual world and start their workday…

Only at lunch break would they have the chance to explore the new company…

Of course, Lincoln would not receive such “cruel” treatment.

His office was the first room prepared for him in the company.

Furthermore, as soon as the girls saw him, they couldn’t help but reveal sweet smiles. They guided him, offered greetings, served tea, and were extremely attentive – they probably wouldn’t even be this gentle to their boyfriends.

Lincoln silently nodded: It seems they are quite satisfied with the working environment and salary at Cloud Dream.

Without causing any more trouble for them, Lincoln quickly entered the virtual world.

As usual, before starting work, he went to accompany Mavis.

On their familiar small sofa, Mavis leaped into Lincoln’s arms: ‘Master is here to play with Mavis! ”

Lincoln rubbed her pink head: “It’s not time to play yet, we have to work today.”

“Okay.” Mavis grudgingly agreed, “Mavis gets it.”

“How is the screening of foreign partner companies coming along?”

This was of course just small talk, as it would only take the 6 billion-dollar supercomputing power a matter of minutes to screen the credibility of potential partnership companies.

Especially when Cloud Dream chose its partners, it naturally started by picking the strongest ones.

And strong companies were easy to find their information on, making it easy to initially judge their reliability.

Mavis did not disappoint Lincoln, she handed him a stack of materials.

“Here are the cooperation emails from Izumo and Baekje, we’ve selected four companies from each country as backups, and their basic information and key public disclosures are all here, Master can take your time to read it!” “Mavis is doing great!” Lincoln praised Mavis while taking the materials to read.

Mavis tilted her head and stared intently at Lincoln, holding her cheeks in her hands.

After a while, a small lightbulb suddenly appeared above Mavis’s head, blinking brightly and attracting attention.

Mavis tilted her head to look at the small lightbulb.

Lincoln’s attention was also drawn to it, “Mavis, what happened?” “Mhm! Yes!” Mavis nodded again and again, “It’s about the amusement park!”

“Amusement park?” Lincoln was a bit confused, “What could go wrong with an amusement park?”

“So many, so many, so many people are petitioning! They hope that the little friends can also play in the Metropolis amusement park!”

As Mavis spoke, she stretched her pale arms out as wide as possible to show how “very, very many” petitioners there were.

The topic had never made it to the hot searches only because it lacked a critical point for popularity to explode.

But in fact, ever since the first week “Assassins’ Alliance” was released, there had been people on forums and Spiritual Rhinoceros expressing regret: it would be great if they could bring their kids to such a fantastic amusement park.

Such discussions and petitions had never ceased and had in fact been growing day by day as the sales of “Assassins’ Alliance” increased.

If the data from these discussions were made into a chart, it would form a very stable upward curve.

It was only when the number of petitions and discussions exceeded 8 million that it didn’t hit the hot searches—but it did hit Mavis’s warning line.

So, she made the chart and showed it to Lincoln.

“Children?” Lincoln looked at the chart and understood.

Of course, amusement parks are very suitable for kids, but the amusement park is part of “Assassins’ Alliance,” a 16+ rated game.

This effectively shut everyone under 16 years old out of the game.

Not to mention children under 10 years old.

As for the original plan for an amusement park game, it was delayed by “Light Encounter,” otherwise it might have been finished by now.

Lincoln thought about it and figured that if he didn’t want to fall out with Randall, it would be best not to exploit Little Chun’s energy…

Besides, doing so wouldn’t be in line with his management philosophy.

So, there was only one solution—

He looked up at Mavis: “Mavis, let’s make another game!” Mavis perked up suddenly, her eyes shining, “Like ‘Traveler of the Wind’?”

Lincoln nodded vigorously, “Just like ‘Traveler of the Wind’!”
