    Lincoln shook his head and put the promotional issues of “Speed Chase” out of his mind.


    It’s too early to think about that now, there’s no need.<div>


    “Assassins’ Alliance” is still hot, so now he should be thinking about striking while the iron is hot, notpeting with himself for attention.


    With that in mind, he looked at the operations team, “What’s the current state of ‘Assassins’ Alliance’?”


    “Very stable. From the time of release up to now, it has been firmly upying the center position in the gaming circle. In terms of poprity alone, no game has been as high and stable as it was this year.” The operations team leader, Samuel replied.


    This girl was also one of the people who came with Fred and his group. Lincoln had been in control of the game’s promotion back then, so she had had little room to y. Most of her energy had been on leading the trailer, promotional material production, and collecting data and posts on the game’s public opinion.


    Lincoln knew why she stressed “high and stable,” because during the few days before and after the release of “ze 3,” the enthusiasm was equally explosive, attracting the attention of the entire yer circle.


    But because the ending was too absurd, it quickly slid from the peak and plummeted, quickly falling out of the center of the yers’ public opinion.


    NetDragon is still working hard to fill this big hole now.


    “Last Saturday, after 8 million Mirage units were sold out, ‘Assassins’ Alliance’ weed 3.8 million new orders in a short time, and the cumtive sales have exceeded 15 million units, topping the world record forrge-scale games. The celebratory picture was even on the Spiritual Rhinoceros hot search yesterday. ”


    Indeed, Lincoln had seen that too.


    Yesterday, the entire domestic gaming world, from yers to media, was on a high.


    Countless people were celebrating “Assassins’ Alliance,” as a game produced by a Daxia gamepany, for achieving the world record in sales.<div>


    What’s even more incredible is that this amazing result was achieved through just the domestic market of Daxia, without a global release!


    In other words, by the time Cloud Dream opens globally, the sales of this game might double!


    Create an unattainable legendary record!


    Not only the game media congratted and reported in numerous articles, but many non-gaming media outlets also took the initiative to promote it.


    —This is also the Daxia tradition, no matter what your previous field, as long as you be the strongest in the world and bring glory to Daxia, everyone will not be stingy with their praise.


    yers alsomented on the celebratory post on Cloud Dream, mostly following the format of “Congrattions from XX province,” with people from all over the country sending their congrattions.


    Lincoln even sawments like “Congrattions from Izumo” and


    “Congrattions from Baekje.”


    He also wondered if the magical ck brother Epic from Guantanamo had sent his congrattions.


    In the end, the yers spontaneouslyunched a collective event—running to the “RANK-Popr Game Rating,” madly rating “Assassins’ Alliance” full marks.


    In just one day, they surprisingly raised the rating of “Assassins’ Alliance” by


    0.3, increasing it to 8.9 points!


    —Before this, as more open gamey in the game was discovered by the yers, the rating had been slowly rising, from the initial 8.2 to 8.6.


    And now, it’s just a step away from 9 points!


    Samuel’s report continued: “Based on our estimates, if we don’t release DLC or hostpetitions, this level of heat should gradually decline after a month and rapidly decrease to one-fifth of the current level after two months, and then remain stable for a long time.”


    “So what’s your suggestion?”


    Compared to making DLCs, it can more effectively gather attention and extend the game’s lifespan. Moreover, sessfulpetitions can be held periodically and have a higher cost-performance ratio.”


    “Sounds good.” Lincoln agreed but then changed his tone, “However, there’s no need to rush to organize apetition. The game has only been released for just over a week, and many yers haven’tpleted the main storyline yet. It’s too early for apetition. We can start preparing, leak some news about it, but don’t make it too clear. Otherwise, it might overshadow the main game, and yers will focus on preparing for thepetition instead of enjoying the game. ”


    “No problem.” Samuel agreed immediately.


    With Cloud Dream’s current manpower, organizing apetition does require early preparations.


    Other bigpanies have years of development history, established personnel andpetition arrangements, so organizing them is rtively easier.


    But Cloud Dream is different. Although thepany has met and even exceeded the scale, funding, and market share of domestic game giants, it is still limited by its short development time, less than two months!


    Staff size, departmental organization, external connections, and coboration brands, etc., are all insufficient. They must develop over time, gradually extending their reach to various fields and establishing cooperative rtionships.


    That way, whatever they do in the future will be effortless and highly effective.


    “Let’s not talk aboutpetitions for now. I have another idea. I’d like to hear your opinions on it.” Lincoln seriously consulted everyone.


    After all, his game-ying skill was excellent, but his experience in creating games only started aftering here. He was not very familiar with the control of levels and scales, especiallypared to the seasoned professionals present.


    Everyone intently watched Lincoln.


    In their minds, their boss, Lincoln, was a genius game developer whom the heavens seemingly fed. His uncertainties naturally deserved serious consideration.


    As Lincoln was thinking, he began to speak, “Actually, instead ofpetitions, I think periodic events that all yers can participate in can arouse their passion more. So, I think we can hold some periodic events.”


    This approach wasn’t new but was generally used in online games with strong social aspects. Single-yer games holding events weren’t unheard of, but they were rtively few in proportion and generally not on arge scale.


    However, virtual reality games have a massive advantage in this aspect. With such a vast virtual city at their disposal, they could do practically anything.


    Look at how Lincoln created a whole news program in just one afternoon – this would be impossible in traditional PC or VR games!


    “My event idea – [Humanity Clearance n].”


    As soon as this event name was mentioned, everyone present tactically leaned back, looking at Lincoln with changed expressions as if they had heard something extraordinary.


    “We can set a time period during which, regardless of the crimemitted, the Metropolis Police won’t intervene, leaving the whole city as a battlefield for yers.”


    “We can send invitation letters to all yers, gather those who are willing to participate in the event onto a separate server, and conduct a massive battle royale-style event. If there are too many participants, we can divide them across several servers and merge them as the number of yers decreases, until only one server is left. Then, the final winner will be decided in that server.”


    “Battle royale…” Randall pursed his lips, feeling a bit dry, “Does it mean that all yers will fight indiscriminately and ultimately decide on a single winner?” “That’s the idea, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be just one winner.” Lincoln supplemented his thoughts, “We can set the final winner’s number.


    Randall opened his mouth to say something but closed it to organize his words before speaking again, “It sounds interesting, but we might need to change the event name… Otherwise, there might be risks in the approval..”
