Chapter 108: Chapter 106: Anti-Cloud Dream Alliance

Lincoln watched as Randall clung close to Little Chun, bending his head closer to watch her play the game.

He wasn’t sure if he should replicate another portable console for Randall to play.

Because he was unsure whether Randall was very interested in the game, or interested in being close to his girlfriend while watching her play…

But then he thought about being single, so he directly copied a portable console and gave it to Randall.

Go play!

Stop showing off your love in front of me!

While Lincoln was improving “Assassins’ Alliance” with his team, Gary’s “Anti-Cloud Dream Alliance” group also gained momentum.

They kept aloof from Cloud Dream’s limelight yesterday and were now planning to stir up another storm.

Gary had assured Boss Zack: They definitely wouldn’t let Cloud Dream get away with it so easily, they would make Lincoln publicly announce the release date of “Traveler of the Wind” on multiple platforms.

If the game was released soon, that would be the best-case scenario, and it would definitely eat into Mirage’s potential sales.

On the other hand, if it took a long time to release, which, in Gary and Zack’s opinion was the most probable scenario, they could seize the opportunity to attack Cloud Dream’s reputation among the players.

They realized that Cloud Dream’s reputation amongst the players was not just ordinarily high, it was being held so high it was almost worshipped.

In such a situation, many methods simply do not work.

They must first create a blot for Cloud Dream, just like drilling a hole in a porcelain vase, no matter how small the hole is, no matter how perfect the rest of the vase is, it becomes worthless.

Once Cloud Dream had this stain, it wouldn’t be held up by everyone as it is now.

In the future, whenever necessary, they can bring it out for hype.

They didn’t expect to overthrow Cloud Dream with this, but they could at least bring Cloud Dream down to everyone else’s level, and that would be a victory!

As long as they didn’t let NetDragon fall far behind, it would be an acceptable result!

As for when NetDragon would regain strength and catch up, it would depend on Warner from the R&D department.

There was still one month left before the two months Warner had promised were up.

Although he was not very optimistic about this, Gary could only persevere and strive to buy them as much time as possible.

At this moment, in the “Anti-Cloud Dream Alliance” group, there was a concentration of several media outlets, self-media, broadcasters, and video uploaders who had been blacklisted by Lincoln.

Even those media outlets that had previously been blacklisted were pulled in by Gary.

Of course, there were also the bosses of the water army who didn’t care much about their small accounts being blacklisted, but they joined in for the convenience of their work.

In short, the group was quite diverse.

At this moment, everyone in the group was furious, feeling that they had been treated unfairly.

“Openly slandering our media image on the internet, causing a very bad impact, this can result in a lawyer’s letter demanding an apology and compensation, right?”

“But really fighting this kind of lawsuit would drag on for a long time and cost a lot of money, right?”

“Legally fighting with him, as long as we win, we can get Cloud Dream to pay a hefty sum, we can all make our money back!”

“That makes sense!”

There was a chorus of agreement from the blacklisted media outlets.

But soon, a discordant voice arose.

“I beg you guys, learn some law when you have free time, or at least watch some popular legal knowledge shows.”

A video uploader with the ID “Roooooobert” threw cold water on their plans, “Do you really think you are bound to win? Or are you saying, as long as you win the lawsuit, however much compensation you demand, the other party must pay?

“Isn’t that the case?” A self-media account owner stuck his head out.

“Ignoramus.” Roooooobert coldly replied with a single word and didn’t say anything else.

However, his brief conversation caused the atmosphere in the entire group to chill a bit.

Soon someone else suggested: “Let’s not discuss the lawsuit for now, let’s send the lawyer’s letter first! With so many of us sending lawyer’s letters together, I don’t believe he won’t be scared!”

“Yes! We’re all posting! All of us! A 22-year-old college student, he’s really running rampant! ”

Seeing the conversation veer off in the group, Gary quickly chimed in, “Everyone, let’s not forget our main goal! Let’s handle the important business first, then talk about other things. Only by forcing Cloud Dream to expedite the release of their multi-platform game can we truly hurt them.”

He was afraid that if he didn’t interrupt, this mob would just send out a lawyer’s letter directly.

It sounded so good at first, that you were considering things from the gamers’ perspective, giving a voice to the players, urging Cloud Dream to rush out a multi-platform version.

But then you’re shouting “Cloud Dream, hurry up and release the game,” while sending lavvyer’s letters to Cloud Dream?

Are you kidding me?!

“That’s right, we must insist that we’re doing this for the players, we’re completely transparent!” Some media people had sense and cooperated with Gary.

Those with quick minds have already realized that there’s only one way forward now.

And as long as it’s well-executed, even if they can’t get on board with Cloud Dream, they could potentially align with Cloud Dream’s competitors.

Either way they’re making money, can you differentiate which is noble money, from Cloud Dream or NetDragon, and which is ignoble money?

Especially now that Cloud Dream has blacklisted them, closing off one pathway, they’re more inclined to team up with Cloud Dream’s rivals.

And to compensate for the loss, they must earn double from Cloud Dream’s competitors!

As long as you pay enough, some epithets can be borne!

With the cooperation of these people, Gary’s requirements were well-implemented.

The water army, disguised as players, began asking questions like, “Is Cloud Dream planning to use delaying tactics to pacify the players? Will we really get to play ‘Traveler of the Wind’ on different platforms?”

According to the well-laid plan, the first stage is all the water army’s work.

The others were preparing their written narratives in advance, checking for repetition in the group, and waiting for the right moment to enter the scene.

Lincoln was naturally unaware that the people he blocked were brought together and were preparing to stir things up.

He didn’t care anyway.

He, along with his team, was working hard on the production of ‘Assassins’ Alliance’ and calculating for the closed beta test.

But there was one person who cared a lot about all this.

And that person was none other than the video uploader of “Anti-Cloud Dream Alliance”: Roooooobert.

As a video uploader, Roooooobert was not solely focused on making money.

It’s just that his family was not well off, so he was a bit obsessed with making money and would occasionally take on business orders that didn’t have good reputations.

His fans often joked that he would frequently flip-flop between being an “idealist” and a “black-hearted marketing channel”.

This time it was a coincidence, he had noticed the players’ demands a while ago and had planned to lend a hand.

But just as he had drafted the post and was about to publish it, he suddenly received a message from NetDragon.

When he opened it, wow! There’s such a good thing?

The content he had already planned to post could actually make him some money?

Well, what’s there to think about? Do it!

It’s iust a matter of adiustinz the wordine a little and aDDearing more anxious. that’s no big deal!

And then he got onto Cloud Dream’s blacklist…

He was indeed quite upset at first, and joined the group with the faint hope of possibly coaxing Cloud Dream to let him off their blacklist.

Because he really likes ‘Traveler of the Wind’ and he really needs Cloud Dream’s traffic.

In the end, he actually found an opportunity in this group!

Although the way this opportunity presented itself was a bit peculiar…

It might not necessarily get him off Cloud Dream’s blacklist, but he could certainly get popular and win Lincoln’s favor.

He has already thought of the title for his new video-

“The Strongest Misdirection in History! Who is the ‘Anti-Cloud Dream

Alliance’? A video uploader reveals the truth at the risk of his life!”
