Chapter 594: Chapter 563: Riding Horses, Drinking Alcohol, Hacking People, Playing Games! (Two-in-one)_3
As Little Chun spoke, she pulled up a display window, showing the game screen to Lincoln.
On the screen, Lincoln saw a player holding a crossbow in their hand, but like a Gatling gun, it was “tut-tut-tut” shooting blue light crossbow arrows, mowing down a large swath of approaching zombies.
Another player by their side opened their backpack, grabbed two Ender Pearls from a whole pack, and tossed them into the zombie horde like hand grenades.
As a result, these things really had an explosive effect like hand grenades: sound, flames, light effects, and lethal range, all in one!
Apparently, the developers not only designed special enchantments using the basic tools provided by Cloud Dream but also carefully designed damage values and modified the visual effects of the special effects.
“That looks more like it.” Lincoln nodded.
This is what he wanted to see!
Add some storyline, replace the hot weapons, and then polish the levels, this is almost the prototype of “Left For Dead”!
Lincoln had no objection to such mods charging money.
However, they can’t be ignored, otherwise, the market will be chaotic, scammers will rampant, and even bad money will drive out good money, which will cause serious damage to the game environment.
“In principle, we allow players to make a profit, after all, it was their creative effort, but we must establish perfect rules to make sure that everything develops in a healthy way.”
Lincoln thought and said: “This matter is quite complicated, we need to study it carefully later, let me tell you my current thoughts first-”
“First: Improve the current mod sharing mode and launch a dedicated mod gaming platform to regularize everything.”
“All paid behaviors must be under supervision to not let scammers have any space to survive, as well as adding corresponding refund, scoring, and review mechanisms to protect players’ rights and interests.”
“Second: The price cap must be limited, and developers must not be allowed to set prices arbitrarily.”
“As for the specific way of restriction, whether it is based on the development scale, the uniqueness of the creative idea, or the player’s reputation, we will decide after reviewing the current mod environment.”
“Third: There must be opportunities for players to play for free.”
“We can set up a free day campaign, periodically let players play all games for free, or create a [limited time free] recommendation slot, so that developers are willing to open it up for free to players.”
“In short, the threshold must be low, the process must be regular, and the players must be protected.”
“We’ll refine the details later.”
In order to guide the mod production trend correctly, Lincoln even decided: Terraria is free!
Little Chun nodded, and continued to talk about the next thing – [Redstone Challenge].
As expected, Lincoln immediately agreed without saying a word.
And he even felt not enough!
In order to get more players involved, Lincoln suggested that Little Chun add a [National Construction Competition] in addition to the [Redstone Challenge].
This way, players who can’t handle redstone technology can also participate and have fun together.
Instead of just watching the works of the redstone experts and shouting: “Boss 666!”
It doesn’t add any workload, just adding a line to the announcement, and Little Chun happily agreed.
Anyway, the boss doesn’t care about the competition prize money, so…
Do it! It can be done!

Next up was the arrangement of [Card King].
[Qualification Battle] schedules, live streaming arrangements, reward statistics plugins… and so on, are all ready to go. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Even the customer service team is prepared, ready to provide support for participating players at any time – this is very important, as some of the participants this time are older and even have trouble with registration and payment information.
In addition, professional croupiers from the Rich Macao (Macao) Casino have also been booked.
When the [Tower Climbing Battle] comes, they will join in and replace the NPC croupiers to guide the progress of the competition.
Seeing everything going smoothly, Lincoln nodded with satisfaction, only reminding: “The player’s live streaming earnings must be paid on time.”
Since the live streaming platforms are all his own, this naturally isn’t difficult.
So, the person in charge simply nodded and said, “Understood.”

Finally, it was the turn of the “Battlefield” project team to report.
But in fact, there was not much to report on by the project team: Lincoln had been closely following “Battlefield” recently and had a clear understanding of everything.
So, Randall just reported on the terrifying sales of 43 million sales in three days and the high heat on the global Internet.
After receiving the warm applause and congratulations from everyone, the report was basically over.
Lincoln has always had no patience for having his time taken up with things he already knows.
In the end, Lincoln reminded: “Keep up with bug fixes,” “keep up with the production of new weapons,” “tighten up the national war maps” and other issues, and added, “You guys keep up the good work.”, before planning to end the meeting.
But Randall knew Lincoln very well, and after listening for a while, he felt that something was off: Lincoln’s words seemed like he wanted to be a hands-off manager again?
“Boss, do you have other things to do this week?” Randall asked decisively.
“Yes.” Lincoln nodded naturally.
“So, Boss, can you tell us what you’re going to be busy with?” Randall didn’t quite believe it.
“Riding horses, drinking alcohol, and chopping people!” Lincoln replied crisply.
Randall couldn’t help but laugh out loud: “Are you serious?”
“Of course.” Lincoln nodded, but halfway through nodding, he suddenly remembered something: “No, there’s one more thing…”
“What?” Randall looked at Lincoln expectantly, thinking that this should be the real deal now, right?
Lincoln replied solemnly, “Playing Games!”
“I plan to invite a few people to live-stream and play games together.”
“???” Randall’s face was full of question marks.
Jason, who was meeting Lincoln for the first time, was completely baffled.
