Chapter 940: Chapter 241: Breaking Into North America (Venture) (Part 3)

"As for the payment, I don’t really care. Your game has made me enough money, and it seems effortless. Plus, it’s from the company we invested in before, which now has a market value of over three billion dollars, so I’ve got a decent share."

Tilin said, "Actually, I’m curious to see how far you can take this."

"Then let’s wait and see. I expect to buy this batch of GPUs from you by mid-April."

"Sure."

For the next ten days, Xu Lin stayed on his private island, remotely managing things.

As the players from the North American market increased, Xu Lin had quite a bit of game optimization to do.

As for the number of players, it surpassed five million by the early hours of the fourth day after the game’s launch.

And on the day it hit five million, Xu Lin launched the game store, and the item was the flying sword.

The pricing for this flying sword is $60, and basically everyone has one now.

By the eighth day after the game’s launch, the number of game purchasers had reached ten million.

This number, spread across North America, coupled with its spread speed, could be described as sweeping the entire region.

Will an immortals game have a problem with market audience shortage in North America?

Traditional games would.

But not Xu Lin’s game.

Because there are no competitors for his game, and it’s a groundbreaking real-life game.

The characters are real people, capable of thinking, with special effects more explosive than Hollywood blockbusters.

Additionally, the characters inside are very beautiful.

In terms of aesthetics, there are global differences, but not by much.

North America is the country most harmed by the LGBT influence. In reality, the vast majority of people have no problems with aesthetics, but everyone is held hostage by capital. If your game characters or movie characters look good, it’s considered appearance bullying, which is unfair, so everyone has to follow suit and eat shit.

So, Xu Lin’s game, ten days into entering the market, already made this group uncomfortable with its beautiful women. They claimed it was appearance bullying and unfair to ordinary people, starting various outcries and criticisms.

Besides this group, there were others. With the game market occupied, the mainstream social platforms and forums were continuously being flooded with this game, and hired trolls started rising.

But Xu Lin paid them no mind.

Xu Lin’s attitude was that if they had the ability, they could try to shut him down.

Afternoon of the tenth day.

Tilin sent a message: "The government is after me."

Xu Lin: "Can you handle it?"

"They can’t do anything to me, don’t worry. Just wanted to let you know."

"Okay, let me know if there’s any issue."

"Sure. By the way, are you having any problems?"

"Tech personnel are trying to locate my servers, but it’s not a big deal. They can’t pinpoint my location, so I won’t have any issues here."

"Scientist, pleasure working with you. I’ll delete our chat history."

Xu Lin sent a meme indicating everything was fine.

That night, Tilin was taken in for questioning by the higher-ups.

Though, strictly speaking, it was more of an invitation.

Xu Lin had infiltrated the surveillance on Moon Island.

This was an interrogation room.

He needed to make sure Tilin wouldn’t disclose his location. Everything else, she could say whatever she wanted, but Moon Island was off-limits.

Tilin knew he was on Moon Island.

At the same time, Xu Lin also tapped into several recordings, including those from Tilin and a few others’ phones present.

Wherever there was the internet, Xu Lin could ensure his presence, even in isolated intranets.

"Miss Tilin, do you know Young Master Xu from Huaxia?"

"Yes."

Tilin sat there, "I’ve only contacted him four times, and each time, he reached out to me. I can’t contact him from my side."

"In these four contacts with Young Master Xu, what exactly was discussed? We need to record every single detail."

Tilin’s brain raced; she was inherently intelligent and could quickly fabricate many things that didn’t originally exist.

And she wouldn’t leave any logical flaws.

"The first time, on the evening of October 25th last year, he contacted me. He said he was Young Master Xu and that I was beautiful, hoping to see me naked."

"And then, what happened?"

"I admired him greatly, so I video-called him. He wore a mask, his voice was altered, I asked if he could show himself, but he couldn’t. He asked me to strip, and I did."

"How do you know he’s Young Master Xu?"

"Intuition!"

"Intuition?"

"Yes, he sat there, and I could feel his overwhelming vitality through the screen. Maybe you’ve never met such a person; he gave me a strong impression, his presence was magically transcendent. I was drawn to him at first sight, so when he asked me to strip, I did."

Everyone exchanged glances, as what Tilin said seemed quite far-fetched to them.

The bigwig waved his hand, signaling to continue questioning.

"And then?"

"I stripped, he asked me to spin around a few times, he said I would probably taste delicious. I asked if we could meet, he said there would be an opportunity, and then our first call ended."

"Nothing more?"

"Nothing more."

"And the second time?"

"The second meeting happened on the morning of November 2nd. Again, he reached out to me, asked me to strip, I complied. He asked me to pleasure myself in front of him, I did, and once done, we ended the conversation. He didn’t say much this time."

Everyone exchanged glances.

The bigwig waved his hand, indicating to continue.

"And the third time?"
