Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 614: Chapter 582: “Bring on a Daxia’s opponent!”

“Friends, translate what it means to be a country of engineers!”

Looking at the amazing demonstration procession, Super Tomato’s voice is full of astonishment.

Not only is he astonished, but the audience in the live streaming room is also amazed—

A regular parade usually involves holding flags, banners, posters, and the like to express their demands.

But in Germany, the front row of the protest team has two guys carrying a huge LED display board with pride.

The content on the display is simple and clear—

“1. Daxia: 15364

2. Russia: 14218

3. Germany: 14003

4. France: 13998

5. Izumo: 13682″

Outsiders may not understand the meaning, but these players know it too well!

These are the current national point rankings in the Battlefield’s National Warfare mode.

These two guys have somehow used technology to synchronize the data from the big screen, allowing everyone to see clearly how precarious Germany’s current ranking is—

Just a 5-point lead!

France could overtake them at any moment!

Considering that the point table can be seen on the Yun Dream APP at any time, and it updates every minute just like in the game without needing to log into the virtual world. It may not be too difficult for them to show the data in real-time technically.

However, being able to come up with this idea in just two days, highly execute it, and take it into reality, they must be skillful!

“There has always been a joke on the Internet about Germany being a country led by engineers, and various amazing stories. It seems not all of them are made up—Germans really do have this gene!”

Super Tomato marvels.

Just then, a massive uproar suddenly erupts from the protesting crowd in the live news broadcast.

Super Tomato doesn’t understand German, and the Yun Dream’s translation plugin can’t translate such chaotic noise either.

But even without understanding German, they can discern the meaning of the clamor, which is—

Anger!

Super Tomato and the audience are well aware of the reason for this anger—

There’s a change in the LED display board point rankings:

“…

3. France: 14009

4. Germany: 14006

…”

Germany’s pitiful 5-point lead turns into a 3-point deficit.

Considering the small difference in points, the situation could change anytime. So, in theory, they shouldn’t be so agitated.

But Germany’s players who pay attention to the point rankings naturally understand how the frequency of France overtaking Germany is getting higher and higher, and it’s getting more and more difficult to catch up.

Moreover, with a large number of core players protesting and not participating in the game, it will inevitably impact their overall strength.

Although the impact may be minimal—after all, the community of German virtual reality gamers is expanding rapidly, but the impact remains!

The more time they spend protesting, the harder it will be for them to catch up and surpass France.

Therefore—

If they have already paid such a huge price for this protest, they must achieve a good result!

As a result, the crowd’s protest becomes even louder and angrier!

Carl’s flag-waving has become even more forceful!

…

But catching up this time might be a bit more difficult.

Because today, Yun Dream’s server center in France is in full operation!

Previously, it was only “trial operation,” which limited the availability of about half of its computing power. French players far from Paris didn’t have much better network conditions than German players.

But now, with the full computing power in play and combined with an organized player distribution, the network conditions for French players will improve starting today!

And as more users join in, it will get even more stable and smooth.

Meanwhile, in the 8th District of Paris.

In a quiet hotel room, Turner lies motionless on a thick carpet, wearing a headband.

But it’s a different atmosphere in Turner’s live streaming room—it’s so excited!

“Brothers! We’re third!” Turner is very excited, “Hold on to this score, and we’ll be in T1 next week!”

“Now, let’s all feel the weight of [The World’s Strongest]!”

“Let’s challenge a Daxia team!”

Turner excitedly leads the fan team to start matchmaking—true to his status as a great anchor, he quickly drew many French fans and had no problem forming a team after coming to France.

At this moment, he is excited because of Yun Dream’s specific matching mechanism: same-zone matching is not a strict rule.

It’s a dynamic balancing process: once France enters the top three in the leaderboard, they will naturally be matched with a team from a T1 battleground country.

However, they can only compete against opponents from the T1 war zone, but they won’t enjoy the bonus experience and bonds exclusive to T1 war zones.

—The bonus is bound by the war zone and only changes on Sundays.

However, Turner’s goal was not the reward, but to feel a “strong opponent” – the best being the “world’s strongest”.

Previously, due to his high-intensity gaming, he was in-game when France surpassed Germany and missed out on it.

Now, sacrificing valuable game time, staring at the leaderboard, and waiting for this opportunity!

And soon his expectations were met ——

[Map: Battle of Amiens]

[Opponent: Daxia]

“Let’s go!” Turner excitedly entered the game.

Not just Turner, but many French players waiting at the right moment to match up were also excited, entering the game with confidence.

The Amiens map is a purely urban battlefield, with densely built infrastructures and complex roads.

Moreover, the three or four-story buildings can be entered and passed through at will, leading to fights happening not only at ground level, but in a three-dimensional, web-like battlefield.

Compared to the open environment of Sinai Desert and Bloody Banquet, this place is almost purely street fighting, undoubtedly requiring a higher level of tactical proficiency!

At first, players were not fond of this map. Guarding against attacks from various corners, they often got lost in the fierce gunfire and smoke.

Even now, many players who do not use their brains in battles would still get lost here.

However, Turner was not afraid, not only because he was familiar with this place, but because ——

“We are a group of 30! Although France ranks third, we are a top-level team. Playing against an average rank one team, how could we lose?”

“Attack, attack, attack!”

Street battles require infantry-tank cooperation. The first two points were easily secured, and progress smoothly to the center of the map, where the two bridges of points D and C were. The two sides faced each other and began a fierce exchange of fire!

At the first encounter, both sides suffered heavy casualties.

But Turner was thrilled, “Great, we’re not at a disadvantage! Hold the front line, and our small team will go around the back! Let’s sneak attack!”

Teammates quickly gathered and rushed through the narrow alley, planning to flank the Daxia players guarding the bridge around point C.

Turner led the way at the front of the team!

The alley was not long, and in the blink of an eye, Turner already reached the end, raising his submachine gun to prepare —— as soon as he rounded the corner, he would be in the Daxia players’ field of vision.

However, just as he reached the corner, a Daxia player suddenly appeared in his line of sight!

Apparently, a Daxia team had also employed a flanking tactic. Coincidentally, both groups met face-to-face at this very corner!

Turner was startled but raised his gun and fired!

But to his shock, the man’s first reaction wasn’t to shoot back, but to dodge the gun’s aim while drawing a “military knife” from his waist and slashing Turner dead!

As cognition left his body, Turner stared blankly at the “military knife” in the player’s hand ——

No! He realized that wasn’t a military knife, but an exquisitely-designed Huaxia sword!

The sword’s body was covered with regular black rhombus patterns, the blade shinined gold, the hilt was inlaid with blue glaze and turquoise, and the pommel was adorned with gold hollow decorations.

If a Daxia player saw it, they would definitely be able to identify the sword’s name —— [King Goujian of Yue’s Sword]!

Except for minor changes to the hilt and the blade being slightly narrower, it was almost an exact replica of this famous sword!

Turner did not recognize the sword, but he knew very well —— this was definitely not a weapon found in the “Battlefield” game’s basic configuration!

It wasn’t even a cold weapon’s skin that could be obtained from a chest!

With such notable features and an extravagant design, if it were truly available, it would have definitely been showcased online by now.

So, where did it come from?

Turner quickly respawned and rushed back to provide support.

However, as he barely reached the entrance of the alley, he saw that his own small team had already been wiped out. Facing him, the enemy team immediately fired at him!

Turner hurriedly sought cover behind a building.

However, despite his fast reaction, a bullet still hit his leg.

With little health reduced, it was no big deal and he would regain it in a few seconds.

But another thing left Turner dumbfounded —— he saw a bullet lodged in his leg!

“What the hell? Aren’t the bullets supposed to disappear when they hit someone’s body?”

In the virtual world, this was common knowledge!

But now, common knowledge had been broken!

“Could someone have developed a cheat?” Turner incredulously reached out to pinch the bullet embedded in his leg, forcibly pulled it out, and carefully examined it in front of his eyes.

Upon examination, he found that it was not an ordinary bullet, but a silver, hollowed-out, and highly designed bullet!

Even engraved on the bullet was writing ——

[Diulei Laomu!]

Cloud Dream’s powerful translation system perfectly translated the meaning of the text for Turner ——

[Fuck your mother!]

“Damn it!” Turner angrily threw the bullet on the ground.

But soon, he picked it up again, holding it carefully in his hand and taking several close-up photos. Even when he was killed by an opposing player, he never fought back —— he was too curious about how this item came to be!

Could it be that Cloud Dream had opened a special pay-to-win channel for Daxia, only available for Daxia players to purchase these special items?

No way!

Wouldn’t that mean he should move to Daxia?

His assistant had just found a house, and the contract was to be signed tomorrow.

He had even paid the deposit!
