Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch Chapter 226 – Champion, Who Doesn’t Want

Chapter 226: Chapter 224: Champion, Who Doesn’t Want

Countless players were extremely excited by this newly launched gameplay, wishing they could immediately start making money to buy houses.

If it weren’t for the new system being launched next Monday, they would log in to Metropolis now to take out loans and buy house

However, the Metropolitan News hadn’t finished yet, and there was more impressive news to come.

“The Metropolis Police strike has become a foregone conclusion. Starting from this Saturday, they will no longer be on duty. We appeal to all Metropolis residents: be mentally prepared and try to reduce going out.”

“According to reliable news, from this Saturday to next Sunday, a total of 9 days, a large number of rioters will gather in Metropolis, using the entire city as a battlefield to engage in a massive life-and-death struggle to determine the strongest team amongst them.”

“It is reported that 10,000 people will engage in battle at the same time every day, and Metropolis will undoubtedly be plunged into war. Once again, we urge all Metropolis residents to be prepared!”

“These will be 9 days accompanied by the flames of war!”

When the players saw this news, they were a bit confused at first and didn’t understand what it meant.

When they first heard about the police strike, they thought they had guessed correctly that it was to facilitate players robbing banks and accumulate money to buy houses.

It perfectly tied in with the previous news about the real estate system, providing convenience for the new gameplay.

Some players even started planning to call friends to rob banks together.

But the content that followed left them dumbfounded: 10,000 people fighting simultaneously in Metropolis?

Compete for 9 days to decide the strongest team?

What does this mean?

Could it be… a new event?!!

Once they realized what was happening, the comments section exploded:

“Ahhhhhh! What did I just see!”

“A super large-scale battle!”

“True National Warfare involving ten thousand players!”

“If you’re a brother, come and fight me!”

“My big gun is already starving!”

“Eat my 18mm caliber Hornet gun!”

“Wait, wait, wait, let the residents of Metropolis prepare for defense? What does this mean? Are there civilians in the battlefield?”

“Civilians with spray cans”

Camille Victoria immediately opened the group chat without hesitation and called her teammates, “Avengers, assemble! I want this championship!” The audience teased her with what she had said not long ago.

‘”Fight and kill”‘ ‘”Not friendly”‘

‘”Wash away the evil spirit”‘

‘”Finding inner peace”‘

Camille Victoria, unconcerned, waved her hand, “Don’t worry about the details. This is a championship! Tell me, who wouldn’t want it?!”

All esports club professional players and staff wholeheartedly agreed with her statement.

A championship, who wouldn’t want it?!

There was a link to the event presentation page in the comment area below the video, where they could see the big event title – “Freedom Day!”

Scrolling down, they could see a brief overview of the event rules:

Please sign up in the game by Friday, and select the date for your preliminary selection battle.
The preliminary selection battle will last for a week, with 100 teams selected each day to enter the final day.
The maximum number of people per team is 10, and the minimum is 1.
Conditions for winning in the preliminary selection battle: being in the top 60 in killing points, or in the top 40 in survival ranking. In case of overlaps, the spots will be given to the next players in line.
Winning conditions for the final day: being the last survivor!

The rules seemed straightforward and brutal, with virtually no restrictions on players’ participation.

Players could form their own teams, or sign up to be randomly matched with teammates.

Even lone wolf players who didn’t like teaming up could participate alone!

Lincoln’s original intention for the event was perfectly met: to get as many players involved as possible and have a great time battling together.

Super Tomato opened the contact list on his mobile phone, browsing through the contact information of various video uploaders, and tried to form a team of uploaders – which is quite difficult.

It’s not hard to find video uploaders, but to find teammates with strong skills who have a chance of entering the final circle, that’s a bit difficult.

At least, Super Tomato felt that his own skills were barely enough.

Or more honestly, he said, “very barely enough, I can’t do it without clinging to someone’s thigh…

In contrast, esports clubs don’t have to worry about their combat power.

Although this is not an offline event they expected, nor is there a high prize money – online events usually award virtual items as rewards.

But that doesn’t stop them from going all out to join.

One reason is that it’s a rare opportunity for large-scale practice.

The second reason is that this event is bound to have a huge impact, as long as they make it to the top 10 in the final circle – they have full confidence in their professional players, and can gain strong exposure and influence.

And for professional players and teams, exposure and influence means endorsements, advertisements, and value!

The income from these aspects will not be lower than the prize money.

Various PVP communities are bustling; heavy-duty players are contacting their friends to form teams; casual players are also excited, posting on the Vortex Forum to look for teammates…

There’s no hurry to sign up, as teammates’ schedules need to be considered.

Finding teammates is the top priority!

Roger also fell into this dilemma, there is no doubt that this is a very important opportunity!

As long as they achieve a good enough performance, and preferably a good ranking, returning to the game and competing for the championship would be a natural progression.

But there’s a catch – finding reliable teammates.

And that’s not easy for him…

With just one issue of Metropolitan News, all player groups were boiling with excitement.

The media did not lag behind, reporting one after another.

But the most shocking and unbelievable thing about this event is still the insiders of the gaming industry.

“10,000 players playing on the same map simultaneously? How is that possible?”

“It’s an exaggeration, right? It can’t be done!”

“Well. if it were someone else. I wouldn’t even think about it. It’s iust emDtv

talk. But with Lincoln, I’m not so sure…”

“Yeah, Lincoln is so freakish. The technology he holds is not from the same era as everyone else!”

“I heard that Cloud Dream bought a supercomputing center last week. Is it for this?”

“Spending tens of billions on a game event? Is he crazy or am I crazy?” “Unbelievable! Incomprehensible!”

No matter how unbelievable the industry insiders feel, this is a real thing.

Lincoln’s initial bottom line was that at least 3,000 players could be online and fighting on a single map simultaneously.

Thanks to the powerful supercomputing and Mavis’s targeted optimization adjustments, the final effect far exceeded his expectations.

Even 10,000 players are not the limit, according to Mavis’s estimate, the maximum load can reach 12,000 players.

However, there would be a little risk in that case, and opening too many maps at the same time might cause the server to crash.

So in the end, they decided to be more conservative and simply chose 10,000 players in total.

That night, the number of registered players skyrocketed, quickly reaching 3 million.

The next day, Thursday, the number of registered players reached 5 million.

On Friday evening, just before the registration deadline, the number of registered players exploded, reaching over 12 million at once!

Although not all registered players will eventually participate in the event, the scale of the event has never been seen before in the history of gaming!

Lincoln and his team finally completed the test on Friday, finishing all the preparations, including the new behavior mode for NPCs, just in time.

Jerome even finalized all the collaboration matters with the live streaming platforms two days in advance, successfully signing agreements and even getting a 20% higher broadcast fee than before from the top VR factory exclusive events.

It’s worth noting that Cloud Dream’s broadcast is not exclusive!

This speaks to Jerome’s abilities.

At this point, everything is finally ready for the Freedom Day event!
