Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 735: Chapter 696: Weapon Storage Box

After sending a message to Kyle, Lincoln found that the discussion in the live broadcast room was heading in a strange direction—

In order to save Yelang’s face, they planned to hold a costume party.

But instead of the regular costume party, everyone had to dress up as the opposite sex.

Men would cross-dress, women would dress as men, and they couldn’t do it poorly; they had to dress up carefully to show their sincerity and only then could they join the ball.

Now they were already discussing when and where to hold the event.

Seeing how things had progressed, Yelang had no choice but to give in.

He made one last struggle: “If fewer than 500 people sign up within half a day, then we won’t hold the event; if there are fewer than 300 men, then we won’t hold it either.”

In Yelang’s view, girls dressing as boys wasn’t a shameful thing, as some women’s clothing has a gender-neutral style.

But men dressing as women were an entirely different level of shame, and he believed not many would be willing to do it.

Furthermore, the registration time was limited to today; the short time frame might not attract enough people, and then he could justifiably cancel the event.

But Lincoln already couldn’t help but facepalm when he heard this.

300 cross-dressing men?

Who was he kidding…

Even without counting international or other provincial audiences, just in Xiajing City, they could easily gather that many.

Lincoln wasn’t just talking nonsense; he had been keeping an eye on the use of the gender-swap potion in Terraria purely out of curiosity…

This potion had a much higher usage rate worldwide than he had expected.

He could confidently say: Yelang, there was no escape.

Just as he was enjoying the scene, room administrator [Weight-Losing WinterMelon] suddenly asked, “Is Boss Lin still here? How about joining the event?”

Lincoln immediately pushed the tablet away.

Playing dead, he didn’t dare to speak.

Yelang hadn’t realized his impending predicament yet, casually cleaned up after eating takeout, and then logged back into the virtual world.

“Enough chatting, I only won two games; I still need to win 28 more.”

“Go, go, go!”

With that, he logged into “Battlefield” and excitedly started matching for the “Extraordinary Mode” again.

Since the new mode was introduced in “Battlefield,” the online user rate had soared, even though today was a Monday workday, it didn’t affect players rushing in to experience the new mode.

Not only was it about trying the new gameplay, but players were also eager to get the event reward early—

[Armament Box]

This was a feature players had been calling for a long time.

As the name suggests, it’s a virtual box used for storing weapons.

Before this, there was no convenient weapon carrying tool for players in “Assassins’ Alliance,” “Speed Chase,” or “Battlefield”.

When preparing for combat, players would often be covered in weapons, armed with ammo, pistols, rifles, and hand grenades hanging on their bodies.

No matter how cool or beautiful they dressed, once they put on all that gear, they turned into armed ruffians and fierce women.

Male players complained about the inconvenience, but they just filled their car trunks with weapons in-game, so they could accept it.

But female players had it rougher.

Their carefully chosen outfits and the makeup applied by makeup artists were spoiled by the juxtaposition of all the military gear, which made for a very conflicting appearance.

Sweet and cute dressing style was almost impossible in such a situation…

For most female players, this really affected their game experience.

Especially since many female players’ virtual houses featured a spacious cloakroom, as the variety of clothing in Metropolis increased, thanks to both Cloud Dream designers working on them and real-world brands gradually entering, it had become one of the main sources of fun for many players.

Now, the birth of the[Armament Box]will greatly solve this problem, bringing great convenience to players.

Moreover, according to the system description, this is a very rare and “cross-world” item.

As long as you get it in “Battlefield,” it can be used in Metropolis, Night City, Hunting Ground, and even Dinosaur Island.

However, there are still limitations: To ensure the balance of the game, you cannot use weapons from outside the game world in the game world.

For example, you cannot use the Armament Box to bring a mortar from “Battlefield” to the “Hunter” world for hunting, nor can you take an enchanted diamond sword from “My World” to stab people in “Battlefield.”

As for taking the graduation weapon[Zenith Sword]from “Terraria” to other worlds to slaughter indiscriminately, don’t even think about it.

Even so, players still flocked to it and threw themselves into acquiring the[Armament Box]without hesitation.

But it’s not easy to get this thing –

You must achieve 30 victories in [Extraordinary Mode] to get this reward.

Moreover, after getting the armament box, the initial armament box can only store one weapon, in other words, only one slot.

Want to expand the capacity and get more slots?

Sure, just use achievements of diamond level or above to unlock them.

A maximum of 6 slots can be unlocked, which means that 5 diamond-level achievements are needed to obtain the fully functional Armament Box.

For senior and experienced players, this is entirely acceptable.

For example, during the [Freedom Day] event alone, Camille Victoria led the team to get[Freedom Day: One in Ten Thousand],[Bane of Crimes], and[Your Vault is Quite Large]three diamond achievements.

Plus, she painstakingly achieved the perfect ending with all members of the “Assassins’ League” surviving, earning her the[Home is More Important Than Miracles]achievement.

There’s also the[Golden Axe]achievement she obtained after spending a lot of time fishing for 3000 fish—Lincoln had already anticipated that a large number of new fishing enthusiasts would turn into the virtual world.

In just the “Assassins’ League” game alone, she got 5 diamond achievements.

And her achievements don’t stop there.

Other senior players might not have as many as her, but as long as they’re willing to spend time, they would have a few as well.

The [First Generation Player Commemorative Badge] has over a hundred million, and comes with an achievement, which is higher in rarity than diamond achievements in the evaluation system.

[Conqueror of Dinosaur Island], all players who participated in the Dinosaur Island landing battle have it.

[Dragon Slayer (This Time It’s a Real Dragon!)]defeating the Ender Dragon in survival mode.

[Ancestral Glory] and[Where the Magic Animals Are], one pet achievement, one mount achievement, both are diamond level achievements.

—although, compared to the campable[Ancestral Glory], the luck-based[Where the Magic Animals Are], which is extremely rare among winners, it was only when Shuihua appeared on Camille Victoria’s live broadcast room riding a pure white deer that everyone learned what the reward for this achievement was.

…

In summary, diamond and above achievements are not as rare, they’re just either difficult or time-consuming.

So for players who haven’t played the games for long, these are harder to obtain, and they need to spend a lot of effort looking for strategies and completing achievements.

For example, at this time, “Fried Rice Immortal” Stanley, who is also fighting in “Battlefield,” only has one achievement higher than the diamond level,[Fried Rice in the Bar].

He has already planned that as soon as he gets the Armament Box, he will go fishing.

This is the simplest one among all diamond achievements.

After all, in the virtual world, as long as you fish in the right place, you will always catch fish if you wait long enough.

However, he still has to go dragon hunting on the hour, plans to go to the movies in the evening, has been invited by friends to go to Seaside Paradise to see bikini beauties, has signed up for the Inter-City Racing Tournament, and needs to find time to familiarize himself with the race track; he also wants to continue playing Dinosaur Island with his group of friends…

With a bunch of things to do, he feels both excited and troubled, thinking about it.

He’s simply too busy to make ends meet.

Not just Stanley, countless players are lamenting: It feels even busier than going to work!

For the first time, they experienced what it was like to have explosive production capacity from a game company, cramming new content down their throats…
